nWK9ogX21_M | https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nWK9ogX21_M | Improving Aid to Stabilize Conflicts: The Afghan Case | okay I think we'll go ahead and get going um my name is Andrew Wilder I'm the vice president here of the Asia Center at the U.S institute of peace and on behalf of usip welcome for taking time out of your busy calendars to come join us today for what I think will be a fascinating topic a discussion on a topic near and dear to my heart um in a previous life I actually had time to do research and interesting things like look at issues of stabilization in particular in Afghanistan so I'm actually also very much looking forward to hearing about the findings from the study in Greater detail and for the following discussion for those of you not familiar with the U.S Institute of Peace we were founded in 1984 as an independent National Institute dedicated to the proposition that peace is possible it's practical and it's also essential both for National and and Global Security and we operate in Conflict zones including in Afghanistan which is one of our biggest programs where we basically work primarily with Partners to provide resources and training and education and assistance to try to prevent mitigate and resolve violent conflict um today I wanted to start off by thanking usaid for not only supporting this study but also supporting a lot of the work that usip has been doing over the years in Afghanistan as well as elsewhere and I also wanted to give a particular shout out I think to usaid's willingness to really take on this study and you know basically allow a critical assessment and open up provide a lot of the data that had hadn't really been available for before for such in-depth research to the esoc team to look at to really try to understand the important findings I mean given in billions of dollars that have now been spent on stabilization efforts in Afghanistan alone let alone in other contexts I think it's really an important and timely study um I'd also like to thank the empirical study of conflict team isoc um you know for their work on this a very valuable contribution not only in terms of the quantitative empirical analysis which esoc is best known for but also all the effort they put into reviewing a lot of the qualitative studies that have been done on this topic over the year over the years and I think the collaboration between usaid and usip and esoc has really been a fabulous one and I hope you'll find the findings of the study and this collaboration to be interesting and fruitful and with that I will introduce our great panel panel today starting with Rada yangarpum thanks for being with us today Rada is a senior Economist at the Rand corporation uh previous previously she was on the department of energy staff team and prior to that worked at the National Security council is the director for defense Personnel Readiness and Partnerships amongst many other things she's done show basically prevent present some of the key findings from the study and then we'll have comments and additional presentations from Jason Foley who's the assistant administrator for Afghanistan and Pakistan at usaid previously Jason served as Deputy assistant administrator in the Asia Bureau and as the Director of strategic and program planning in the Bureau of policy planning and learning and after Jason will have Rob Jenkins who's the deputy who's the Deputy Administrator for the Bureau of democracy conflict in humanitarian assistance in usaid I know better known as dacha he also serves as executive director of the agency's task force on Syria and previously served as the Director of the office of transition initiatives and then last but not least we'll have our very own Dr Bill Byrd who's a senior expert on Afghanistan at usip uh Bill's had a long and had a long and distinguished career at the World Bank including opening up the um the World Bank Country office in Kabul in 2002 and serving as the first country manager for the the years that followed 2002 I believe in 2005. I see some of his successors in the audience today so I'm glad you could join us as well and then actually when we get following the presentations we'll go into question and answer and for there I'm going to also ask Dr Jake Shapiro who's with us today to join us so that the really tough questions we can all point in his Direction uh Jake is a professor of politics and international Affairs at Princeton and very relevant for today's presentation he's also the director of esog so welcome welcome Jake and without I'll turn it over to you righta ah so thanks so much I'm gonna just slide this a little closer thanks a lot uh for that and so what I thought I'd do is kind of run through the study findings and some key themes but before I do that I just want to take a moment to say that you know research like this doesn't happen in a vacuum and we're very grateful for usaid's partnership and support in this and I'll actually talk a lot more about that during the discussion here but also for the whole research team at esoc so Jake provided a lot of guidance and support but also Manu Singh and Ben Chrisman who are sitting all the way in the back as far away as possible so I can't point to them during q a but they're back there and they did the Lion's Share of tremendous amount of data cleaning working processing and Analysis on some really tough data sets in some really tight timelines so you know I'm gonna stand up here and and take the hard questions but really they did a lot of the hard work um Global community in places like Iraq and Afghanistan actually in lots of other places where increasingly in North Africa other parts of the Middle East and what we're trying to do is figure out how do we support the promotion of Peace stability and legitimately elected government so that we have some sort of political architecture going right we have a lot of tools to do that to and and we have a lot of tools that we try to address a number of underlying issues with we have military tools and we have operational activity we have diplomatic and political tools and we have increasingly this sort of development and stabilization toolkit uh so given that there's a lot of time and money that goes into all of these different operations and and certainly over the last 15 years a lot of the focus in Afghanistan there's a lot of questions on how do we think about what we did with those dollars right was it effective what can we learn from it and um in general I like to sort of summarize it as what worked where and why and there are a lot of open questions there right that we're still grappling with what do we do in Afghanistan how do we think about this in the Strategic review context but also what lessons can we report from Afghanistan to other places like Syria or West Africa North Africa are there lessons to be learned in for future conflicts into where to invest in not so that's really where we sort of uh started this project was thinking about these open questions and we were very fortunate to have a willing partner in usaid on this so they did take the proactive step to open up a tremendous amount of data both that they had and that were they serve as a sort of conduit with Partners to help us get access to that data which was a lot of effort on their part but they also opened up their expertise to us these data is actually collect what did what did we see in this data how are we collecting what were the challenging collecting it what were the challenges in implementing how can we interpret these data why didn't you collect this kind of data what are the realistic constraints and I think on the back end of a Lessons Learned study where it's easy to sort of poke and and point it's really important to understand a lot of the feasibility constraints so we can think about what lessons can actually be learned and implemented I'm going to talk about that on the back end of this so what we did was compiled a range of data from lots of sources so I mentioned already administrative data on stabilization programs those are U.S programs like usaid also programs from the Department of Defense like the serp program also programs from International actors like World bank's National solidarity program we also got data on survey data on attitudes among Afghans largely from the ankar survey we collected and are we processed and analyzed satellite and imagery data on things like night lights and landscan data to get better senses of population estimates and we also processed a host of data sources with information on geographic features like where military bases were located what the road networks look like as well as sort of local demographic and ethnographic information so that's the quantitative piece but we wanted to sort of buttress this with two other things and the second thing we did was review about 90 studies 89 to be precise and these ranged from government reports to think tanks to academic journals really looking at the broad range of things that were aimed at assessing evaluating or reviewing stabilization in Afghanistan we actually code these up systematically and try to analyze them in the context of what we're seeing in the quantitative data Strat the third thing we did was interview about 15 different program staff that were involved with implementing and executing usaid programs between 2009 and 2014. and again I really want to sort of tip my hat here to usaid because nearly to the person everyone we talked to was Open Candid clear in what they think worked but also really clear in what they thought the constraints and difficulties were in the operating environment that they were asked to execute programs in between 2009 and 2014 and that really shaped and informed how we thought about the quantitative Trends data and how we thought about the match between the trends we were seeing and the research review right so this is not an easy thing to do and it was not something that would have been feasible without a very sort of candid working relationship talk us through in three big theme buckets big theme that I'll try to talk us through is that stabilization is just really hard like it's just in difficult places in violent conditions and even in the best cases it's buying you a little bit of time and space with games that are relatively modest relative to the macro Trends now if I were to opine a little bit on that and I'll take the liberty of doing that at the very end uh I think that means that that stabilization programs can be necessary for our strategy but they're not sufficient and they need to be integrated into some kind of overall plan a political strategy a military operation a broader development project something that allows you to sustain and build off of those gains otherwise you're just going to get these modest gains and they're going to retreat um so I'll try to weave that into the results I hope we get to talk about it a little bit more in the Q a um and I know that that's something that my colleagues at usaid really think about a lot when they're thinking about these programs the Second Bank theme is that we're operating in a dynamic environment right so this is not you do a program and you've got constraints that are static and physical constraints these are Dynamic responsive actors who want to win just like we do and that insurgents are going to try to do things like just just a project or take projects execute see theme one uh are actually pretty easy to Target right being destructive and sort of cheating around here is not necessarily it doesn't necessarily always face all the same constraints and can be really harmful even if the destruction isn't fully successful and so if and that were relevant when if insurgents are really clever and what they do instead try to take credit for the activities right so the implementers go through all of the hard work of actually getting a program that has an impact and now it's helping the other team and so if you have a theory of change that relies on things like hearts and minds or community support you really want to think through how are we marketing or branding or getting the credit where credit is due on these types of programs and that's a sort of broader strategic implementation aspect that can't be the responsibility day-to-day responsibility of the people who were already doing an enormous task of implementing programs on the ground and the third big theme and I'm sure that everyone is going to be shocked that I'm a researcher up here and I'm going to tell you that we need better data and measurement and research but not surprisingly I think we do and I think a key to this project working was having an enormous amount of support from usaid to get the data and that happens sort of after the fact and with a real eye towards trying to figure out what lessons can be learned and in part that was made visible by the fact that usaid actually collects a ton of data they do lots of monitoring and evaluation on a day-to-day basis in addition to this sort of accounting fiduciary responsibility data that they have to collect and that's great for your sort of day-to-day programmatic reviews on a on a more regular and real-time strategic basis that can help inform where the priority should be in this overall campaign or fight and this really links to this first question of stabilization is hard it needs to be nested in a bigger strategy and this type of strategic review of how is stabilization fitting into our broader strategic goals can happen but to happen effectively it needs some slightly different characteristics than what the types of things you would collect or analyze for either program reviews or accounting purposes so with that um uh let me try to turn to talking about the actual key findings uh just before I do that and a little bit of the housekeeping point in some ways but I think one that's going to be relevant for our discussion later is defining stabilization is not actually a trivial process it turns out uh it changes a lot over time uh what counts as stabilization and even how specific programs or frame changes over time we took a relatively agnostic approach uh trying to look at the literature and see how it defined it we actually came up with I think about 200 different indicators that are used across all of the different studies to measure stabilization outcomes we end up picking sort of broadly five which are violence public support for the government Afghan government public support for anti-government elements community cohesion and economic outcomes as measured by nightlights we also include Access to Health Services as a sort of proxy for improvements in health outcomes so I want to be very sort of gentle in thinking that of that as health right improvements or even well-being improvements but I do want to say that overall we find that stabilization programming was actually correlated with a small short-term Improvement and lots of things like support for the Afghan government and economic activities despite the fact that these are operating in pretty violent areas now this positive correlation is primarily observed for relatively low dollar programs and uh in some cases those programs are are executed Nationwide but they're small programs right these aren't huge infrastructure uh expansive programs I also want to emphasize that these are Trends and we can't and really we shouldn't interpret these as sort of the causally identified precise impact estimate for any individual program at any individual point in time what we're trying to do here is tell you here are sort of the broad macro Trends in these big outcomes here are where programmatic activity was more or less intensive at various points in time and here's how we can think about interpreting that temporarily uh in terms of overall improvements so the correlations that we see look like they're largely consistent with existing research which also suggests that smaller scale programs are easier to administer but also we get this kind of additional finding that comes from the research which is part of the success is driven by the fact that these smaller programs are less likely to be targeted by anti-government actors so here is for government and decision makers you can reliably execute these programs but you typically they can't affect the key drivers of instability and that really success to our that first key theme which is that stabilization is really hard and so in practice that means you can expect stabilization programs to have huge impacts we're talking here about maybe a fraction of a standard deviation on the overall macro trends for indicators that are happening and you can expect the effects to be super persistent so we're talking 6 to 12 months of effects here so and and a shockingly consistent result in both our findings and in the research right you can look at it's well-designed experimental and quasi-experimental approaches there's a national solidarity program usaid has the Misti study ah and you know those effects are whatever those effects are relatively transitory now some of these effects happen because of the sort of local Community Driven Community attitudes about the programs but but the programs that show effects are relatively small right and so by small I mean these little programs with little smaller activities that are locally spanned and in part that's because those are harder to Target they don't tend to disrupt local systems quite as much and it's harder for anti-government elements to take credit for them and I'm going to come back to that trade-off for just makers in terms of thinking about the time frame and scope thinking about the value the cost benefit value of investing in stabilization which is they're valuable Investments their short-term Investments to buy you the time and space to get to your political or development or military goals but you're wasting your money if you don't Nest them into that broader program now I said something about how these small programs are relatively less disruptive and I mean by that that they disrupt local political Bargains last they provide fewer high profile really high value targeting they also provide smaller things that insurgents find less individually valuable to take credit for um Atkins so so and there's also sorry a little bit less opportunity for bribery so so with the Strategic decision making on nesting this in the overall political or military or development strategy is thinking about how to Market or brand this and and that's a tricky question that likely evolves over time likely changes with where we are in the strategy um but some pretty successful examples of this there's the ASI program that ensured really local government and non-governmental organizations were centrally and visibly engaged in the implementation process which really helped in not just making the programs themselves successful but the overall implementation and the last uh that I will shock no one again is that there really does need to be this sort of broader strategic view to monitoring and evaluation that is not does this individual program work or not and not did we can we account for these funds and sort of survive an audit all of these things are again extremely detailed monitoring and evaluation data that has been collected uh could help answer that but what I mean is at a at a higher level at a strategic level how are these stabilization programs and the gains they're achieving and the money that's being spent meeting with our overall program or operational objectives and how we how do we think about how to fit any changes adaptations reprioritization of resources to get the biggest policy bang for our buck on stabilization programs and again you know we're suggesting here a really pretty difficult task of creating common outcomes collected over time analyzed on a regular basis this is a non-trivial cost investment and it's a non-trivial Time investment for the implementers we think that that sort of idea of improving the monitoring evaluation could really help get some of the insights we have here on smaller is better what types of programs are operating how they're contributing to what outcomes and how that matches with the Strategic objectives could really help get folks kind of across the goal line um and especially help make sure that the dollars and efforts spent um are are captured and capitalized upon in real time uh so I want to kind of wrap there and turn it over to to Jason and Rob but I want to end with a little bit of a human note so we tend to talk here about programs and I did it here in spending and usaid is a behemoth and implementers as a group but my one sort of biggest takeaway from the study after hours spent with data and interviews and research is just the tremendous number of really hard-working people they're trying their very best to make things better under nearly impossible circumstances so there are folks here in DC there are Folks at Mission at headquarters there are civilians and Military and contractors and a lot of these people have been doing this for a really long time and I think you know when we sit here and we sort of talk about programs and I make a bunch of recommendations on smaller is better or this corrupter you know at a macro level it's worth calling out that they're doing this good work and and not just for like they do good work let's all applaud them and like thank you sa ID but this they're really hard problem and these aren't stupid people these aren't people who haven't tried to learn by what they're doing they're not like hanging out in Cobble with their feet up on a chair drinking a coffee like they're are folks working really hard in difficult circumstances and I think as we think about that having these sort of outside approaches on how we can feasibly feed information into the system to make them feel like what they've done and what they've spent a tremendous amount of time on is getting the biggest impact possible is really I think the sort of big takeaway from the study that that is the value of trying to have a strategic level review so I hope that some of what we do here will be useful for them and I hope that that some of this information will be taken on board to improve systems for usaid so those folks can get the support they need as they continue to fight the good fight so I'll wrap there Jason all right hi I'll just take two quick minutes uh but first I want to thank Youssef in particularly esoc for all their dedication their assistance their time and effort um and you know when we made this decision to do this we we took a hard step which is you know let's actually learn uh from what happened um and typically in Washington I don't think that's common because people are afraid of what will be found but you know we've spent too much we've lost too many lives spent too much sort of treasure not to be honest for ourselves American people the rest about you know what happened the best we can tell and importantly what does that mean going forward in other contexts I want to uh touch on a point a couple of points that Rada made one is this notion of you know the report did find some gains in health economic improve of the perception legitimate of the government and that these you know were short-term generally and I think that's a really important point which the study then didn't get into which is you know how were those gains leveraged and for what impact by broader national security policy goals and that assumes that those are clearly defined you know if you have 200 explanations or indicators of stabilization well you're sort of trying to well there's this big thing this big policy objective and how do we measure it if you have 200 you know it's questionable how clear and defined the policy goal uh was or is and third then is this point on how do we learn best and so we do a tremendous amount of monitoring evaluation as Rada mentioned but you know we do think there's a lot of value and working across this government with Partners to better understand going forward in these environments how do we pull up this data in a more strategic way so that policy makers have evidence to make their decisions I mean that's what we're we're trying to do here so I'll stop there thank you very much um I find myself in a familiar situation where I'm a generalist among experts so I'm going to focus a little bit not on Afghanistan specifically but what does this study tell us about what we did or did not know and then looking forward and how do we use these lessons for places like Syria and Libya and greater Lake Chad Basin Somalia and other things I just want to note that I often say I've been elevated to my level of incompetence but I got a further promotion today from from Andrew I'm not a Deputy Administrator I'm a deputy assistant administrator I don't know why anyone would ever make that mistake because there's so much that makes sense in our titles but I think you deserved thanks so I I do think I think the study actually validates quite a few things that many of us have been focused on for a long time so as I go through a quick list of those things it might sound like they're just truisms but I think sometimes truisms need to be repeated because they're often not listened to when folks are saying but this problem set is different and as you noted this is really hard right but as a great American once said we do these things not because they're easy but because they are hard and the only reason we try them is because it's of incredible National importance that we try to get something right so all of this is in that sort of General context my quick points would be all right so you're going to do this in another country you want to stabilize it already said we haven't even agreed what that means sort of you know when you see it until you don't know it and then but I think we spend way too much time on definition so let's just take it as you guys did and said stabilization is when we try to stabilize someplace and leave it at that you got to be realistic you got to be modest you have to be local you have to be smart and you have to be a team player so being realistic Rome was not built in a day neither was Kandahar neither was cert raqqa will not be rebuilt in a day so let's just be realistic about what we're trying to achieve no liberal democracy was built in a day or six months or six years so let's be very clear about what our objectives are wide opened eyes on the problem set what are we trying to do as Radha said these are programs that just tried to get us a little time and space so let's not try to expect them to solve a problem like X you fill in the country right there was uh a few years ago in the last Administration clear guidance that came out that we needed to have a plan to fix Libya in six months I don't know how to fix Detroit in six months I don't know if anyone does I don't know how to do Libya in six months especially if you can't get into Libya so let's be very clear about what we're trying to do that ties into the next thing which is Let's Be modest we're not in control and the moment that we think we're in control that means we're probably out of control right everything is going to be by with and through if we don't have local partners with the political will it will not succeed we can keep trying but it's not going to succeed if we don't have those local Partners let's find them if they don't have the political will or if they haven't bought in to what we think is a mutual set of objectives then we have to do a better job of trying to convince them but maybe we also need to shut up and listen to what they're saying about how they want to stabilize their country and take a few lessons from the real experts the real experts are obviously the people that live there that know the place local ownership is key to all of this and local political will so therefore let's be local we have to think locally and act locally communities are the center of gravity in all of these places if you're going to get anything done and if you buy what I think is a definition we're working on now within the government which is stabilization is an inherently political endeavor it's separate from Pure development it's definitely separate from humanitarian assistance it's political well trite but true all politics are local all security is local I would argue all legitimacy is local no matter what you're hearing over the radio about how great things are in the capital if you're not seeing that in your community real change today or if you don't see any reason to hope that realistically tomorrow might be a little bit better no matter what's going on in the capital isn't important for you it's going to have to be local so focus on the local fit that into a national context obviously but it's got to flow up it can't flow out from the capitol especially in most of these places the reason that this these problems exist is because they never had a national anything that was effective if so they probably wouldn't have the governed space that we're in there trying to fix ungoverned space so let's not pretend that we can do things telegraphed out of an embassy they're going to reach into these dark recesses that are very different in each place which brings us to being smart everything we do has to be informed by real time analysis we need to be quick and flexible and highly adaptive in what we're doing as already mentioned there's no one-size-fits all everything is different village by Village neighborhood by neighborhood the actors the the the the drivers of instability the forces of conflict in that place it's not a society necessarily it's a neighborhood who are the good cops who are the bad cops who are the people we can work with who are the people we shouldn't work with who are the people we they're not ideal but we need to try to bring them into the process because they're legitimate in some way have local staff who know that place who are telling you these things because we stumble into these things and when we come up with the answers too quick by golly we're almost always wrong that's okay we're going to make mistakes so then we have to be able to identify those mistakes and adapt to fix those mistakes and when something's working let's Double Down On It but then you got to keep watching it because it might not work for very long and then you got to change and try something else and we can talk about what that looks like in in questions but everything has got to be hyper contextualized in time and space and micro targeted and that's what you get some results and then lastly you got to be a team player which is sometimes hard in these places our government can be quite unwieldy it can be very large we like to say the 3DS it's not just defense it's not just diplomacy it's not just development but even within those 3DS in certain points in time many of us have different examples you could go to the Embassy compound in Kabul and spend all day trying to identify all the coordination mechanisms um but you got to be a team player because again as Rada said these stabilization things are a very small piece and a very larger U.S government strategy International Community strategy and then the whole strategy that that host nation is trying to execute with supposedly our help and hopefully our help and assistance I'll end with that and just again all hard questions go to Jake Jake thanks uh as the last speaker it's really hard because I think virtually everything I had jotted down to speak has already been said by one one or more of the other panelists let me try to just do about five quick points which hopefully will move toward the Q a uh with regard to the process just to Second all the uh positive comments and praise let me just add one more thing uh usaid insisted on and asked usip to convene an Advisory board for this project which met several times during the process of the project included outside experts with different skill sets Who provided advice inputs and and guidance and I do think that is another aspect of this study which which is a good practice model for for our future second and again this has already been mentioned but as a somewhat qualitative person myself I I like case studies I like many of the qualitative studies uh esoc really went out of the way and did a systematic review of other studies and this is like going to be the valuable state of the art in terms of trying to bring together a lot of other qualitative as well as quantitative work and uh and make putting it in a digestible form and drawing out systematically the main themes so this synergized very well with the quantitative part and not least I would say proved that uh esoc is able to do good quality qualitative work not just the Big Data empirical analysis it's known for third now maybe this is a slightly different take my third point is that uh my take on the message about the quantitative work is a little different and I really don't think it should be taken to mean that having more data is always better and certainly the metrics fetishism that was rampant during The Surge period in Afghanistan particularly the obsession about collecting data and tracking developments on a quarterly monthly or sometimes even weekly basis that's something really should be avoided for the future the time Horizons where outputs and impacts are felt are just not that short and I think the key point that comes out of the study is collecting even a small set of data but doing that consistently over time and starting from as close to the Baseline I.E the start of the intervention as possible is crucial and just to steal an example for me so I can ask forgiveness later if you uh you know taking regular thermometer readings over several decades will probably give you a much better view on climate changes in in the climate than a very sophisticated analysis of a lot of data at one point in time or or over one or two years so I'll leave it at that but I do want to caution because data collection is expensive it's not easy in some of these areas so so you need a core set of indicators that's not too big and not you know sort of uh says a compromise between what academics would like which is always more and what is sort of feasible in the situation and what most important can be collected consistently over time and in that one I think the point about of the study that the tracking of expenditure data needs to be much better is really critical that that is important that at least you you really have to know where money was spent when how and and and in you know in offer what purposes or what uh Investments fourth uh I think there's a need to be realistic about what can be accomplished in these kind of studies and this study I think went as far as it could and they're just many factors which create a lot of noise in addition to the message uh you know they're the existencies of a stable a stability operation which puts a lot of pressure and short-termism uh challenges of data collection which I mentioned uh and differing and sorry differing and changing definitions of stabilization and what's included in that I mean just to give two examples coming from my background in the World Bank public health and Community Developmental and it's actually called Community Development our quintessential kinds of development programs yet they are they became whatever you want to call it appropriated into the stabilization and and some of these programs are actually included there but they certainly the national solidarity program started out as a long-term development program and then coming from that development background the projects are five years uh and impacts are longer than that and that's sort of like five to ten years is sort of what the lowest shortest definition of the long term would be for the stability study 18 months is reckoned as the long term and I just want to highlight that my final point and this is actually echoing what Radha said so maybe this will help tee it off for the Q a but you know it seems to me that underlying this some of this ambiguity about the definition of stabilization is a more fundable fundamental lack of clarity about the underlying objectives and were these objectives at all feasible in terms of the timelines allowed you know what was the sequencing sort of a theory of change which would have a sequence of getting some initial level of security allowing the government to come in and and working on development you know you could sort of see that kind of of sequencing actually it all happened at once because it was under enormous time pressure and this idea of a preset limit of three years or or as once was called government government or governance in a box I mean these are just patently unrealistic and I think people recognize that at the time and then the political strategy and backing when you have a search that's in the case of Afghanistan that the president of the country basically was at the very most lukewarm about and not even lukewarm about much of the time uh you know and this highlighted the underlying political problems so what were the domestic political Dynamics Iraq I don't know it all well but the surge was to bring the sunnis into the fold and then promptly the political backing for that fell apart with the subsequent election so this this is really critical and I think Rada emphasized I mean if the objectives are unclear and unrealistic the theory of change is flawed and the political Dynamics are are adverse there's really nothing that Aid either development Aid or stabilization Aid can do Beyond sort of playing some of a mitigating role in its own right so I would just end with saying that the aid is neither the villain or the hero in the Afghanistan stabilization story and you have to look elsewhere for those thanks uh thank you Jake do you want to come take my seat and I'll stand here and I oh thank you yeah I don't hear my message um thank you very much for very interesting presentations and discussion um uh I had a couple comments and questions I think I'll lead off with and then we'll open it up for um questions I mean I mentioned earlier that this is an topic you know that I was fascinated at and when I was at Tufts before I came down to usip and was looking at um and coming at it from my background is 15 20 years working I serve a humanitarian and development worker in Afghanistan and Pakistan 80s and 90s and then post 911 lots and far too many discussions about you know the shrinking of humanitarian space the blurring of lines all these debates about the growing military militarization and securitization of assistance especially in the Afghan context so it sure got me to try to look at this question but I was interested maybe approaching it more from an Effectiveness angle then from the humanitarian principles angle that you know certainly the number one demand and desire of Afghans was security and so if indeed you know military uh development assistance if you used it to try to pursue military objectives and it was effective in in promoting stability and Security in regions um I think you can make a strong rationale for securitizing militarizing your assistance to achieve that objective but if there wasn't a strong evidence base that the militarization of development assistance was effective and that indeed actually in many cases it seemed to be fueling more instability than insecurity then it made a lot less sense to pursue that and and just to give you a sense of the scale when I was doing my research sort of in 2008 2009-2010 on this issue um um more than two fifty percent of all usaid assistants in Afghanistan in those days is spent in four of Afghanistan's 34 provinces down in the South because of this assumption that pouring our focusing our our resources in these most insecure provinces would pay security dividends in terms especially in terms of the coin uh strategy at the time um but in addition to usaid and other donor assistance um the serp budget the Commander's emergency response program budget was about 1.2 billion dollars which is a phenomenal amount of money to be spent in some of these very insecure areas and especially if you put that in the context that at that time usaid's Global education budget was 800 million dollars um um and so I think that's why this kind of study is really important which is again if it's effective to use your money that way okay use it that way but I think there's been now lots of evidence over many years of lots of study really coming to very similar conclusions which yeah there are some effects um they generally are more effective with small amounts of money and then even then they generally aren't sustained and I think for a lot of the reasons have been pointed out already which is again a lot of the main drivers of conflict in these situations have nothing to do with the lack of Roads or clinics or schools or facility but they are political um and I think that's where you know I often say the US have we have two tools in these situations our military and our money but the underlying drivers of conflict are often political and we're still not very good at doing the politics in these kind of situations understanding the politics or engaging in the politics or interfering in the politics I mean we don't hesitate to come up with the security strategies for these countries and and go in with great force or even economically with vast sums of money uh but on the politics you know often we don't invest somebody in trying to understand and engage in those which is why I think you know a lot of these initiatives have have not been very effective so that's my uh commentary but moving on to a question I thought I'd try to ask a couple questions that started off and and the panel you can self-select in terms of who wants to answer what but um so I guess starting off with another study um showing again the relatively limited short-term impact to stabilization effect impact um you know is it time to retire the stabilization approach um uh you know I a lot of the money spent indeed did not have stability effects but many of those funds did have very useful and Powerful development effects and this is where I've I'm wondering is development assistance being set up to fail by expecting it to do something that is not very well suited to do which is achieving those Security benefits um and I think a lot of the funding that has been spent in Afghanistan we undervalue the tremendous gains that have been achieved I mean you know in the health sector for example just the incredible improvements in reducing maternal mortality rates [Music] um to me as a former save the children director there I think that's a good in and of itself but increasingly I don't think we value that um because it didn't necessarily improve the security situation so I guess maybe that's just one question throwing it out where should we use stabilization where shouldn't we use and are we overusing it um you know in the current context given the evidence base of it of its limited impact um and I guess the second question a bill already touched on um I think he nicely put it the metric fetishism um which is again lots of studies showing similar results lots of qualitative studies that did it uh and I worry as someone who's on the practitioner side for many years about the growing demands for collecting more and more and better data so what is the point of diminishing returns because quality data collection is you know more than anyone is very labor intensive very expensive to do well and very difficult to do in these insecure contexts like Afghanistan so absolutely monitoring evaluation is important we need to do that certainly not saying trying to determine impact isn't important but where is the point of diminishing returns when actually studies done 10 years ago were pointing to very similar conclusions to what we've done with a much more sophisticated methodology with much better data which has definitely brought more rigor and Nuance to the discussion but with very similar finding so over to whoever would like to have that product why don't I we'll start and then summarily kick it over to other folks who answer the harder parts uh I think the question of whether development Assistance or stabilization Assistance or or whatever frankly are doing in Afghanistan is set up to fail it's fundamentally a question of what are you trying to get it to do no and then did it do it so I think in some ways and and we've all said it kind of in our own uh different words goal of stabilization hasn't been precisely defined or maybe even fairly defined in in a lot of contexts so it's not even well defined to say that it succeeded or failed right it achieved some outcomes it didn't achieve other outcomes were the outcomes it achieved the right ones were the outcomes it didn't achieve the right ones uh and and so that's where this sort of frame on what are we what is our overall campaign strategy where do we think stabilization fits in what are we trying to buy with stabilization and then you can answer the question did you buy it and and I start at that point because I think that also helps us cut against what I think is a very real concern and that's why it closed on this sort of human note of of programming which is collecting data is really hard collecting in real time is really hard and the people who are implementing it collecting and monitoring and evaluating their programs is a tiny tiny slice of the total set of things they have to do right so it's not it's easy for me to say hey I need you to collect 85 more things because all I have to do is analyze it I don't have to figure out how to get a program to operate safely and effectively day in day out in a conflict Zone so I I'm mindful of that and I think in some ways it's incumbent on us here who have in some ways a luxury of time and space such as it is and it's not a lot of time or space but it's maybe more to think about what are the campaign objectives what are the stabilization objectives and then what do we really need to know what do we really need to know for the programs to self-evaluate sort of in real time as part of what usaid does is its ongoing monitoring evaluations what do we need to know to be able to report to Congress or oversight or whoever and what do we need to know to be able to do these strategic reviews and let's put that all make it a streamlined and minimalist as possible and do it and that's not to say that more data is better but it is to say you want to Define that complete picture before you decide what metrics you do or don't need just a quick point on this issue of stabilization and whether you know it makes sense going forward I guess my view is you know it's a necessary but again insufficient approach and resources if it is uh part of a political objective political strategy I think it makes a lot of sense if on the other hand it's tried to be used to achieve military objectives I think it's would be very difficult for it to succeed and I'll agree with both of you that seems like a safe thing to do um no but you're bang on the question is what do we want to achieve and I spend a lot of time these days with our DOD and Military colleagues coming up with what's the plan um and I'm like a broken record I just keep saying usaid will be there but we will never be as big we will never be as fast or will never be as effective as the military thinks and wants us to be because they just think and plan and execute on a scale and speed that is impossible for civilian actors doing things by with and through local actors that doesn't mean not to do stabilization it means there's an education process all the points that I went through we were saying to people in Afghanistan in 2002 we were saying to in Iraq in 2003 four five six and seven be realistic be modest be small but that's not what the Plan called for the Plan called for billions of dollars of reconstruction that then became stabilization and a lot of very smart people were doing a lot of programs that a lot of us weren't sure and probably pretty sure weren't going to work because I think a lot of those lessons have now been learned maybe overlearned I think one of the things in the summary documents said just because it didn't work in Afghanistan doesn't mean it's never going to work and just because things didn't work out like we wanted to in Afghanistan doesn't mean everything was a failure you do have to have studies like this and others to tease out what do we actually know what actually works and then be really realistic what is the objective if it's a military objective guys that's not gonna our bridge is not gonna make a difference it's that political objective though and I think that's one of the things that you touched on injury is that we do not put enough resources into the hard part of the diplomacy and the political because it's hard and because it's really just so complex it's easier to focus on the money and the stuff and it's easier to focus on the air strikes but that's not going to necessarily get us to where we need to be on the uh fetishism with with metrics um we need less data and more information and more analysis of that information I'm a big proponent of more third-party monitoring get people that are really smart in the field while it's happening let them decide what the data they need is and get that started sooner get that as you as you mentioned there's a lot of things that these operators have to do and these practitioners have to do take that away from them have someone else doing it and the data is going to be more attuned to what you need it to be it's going to be more accurate it's going to be more objective and you can get real-time analysis from a lot of people that hopefully are back here with more time and space like you said yeah so so just really quickly I want to pick up on the link between what Rob said and the question Andrew posed about are we at the point of diminishing returns in terms of data collection and the obligations we're putting on people and I'd like to think about this in in two different dimensions one is how precise are your data so are you really nailing down like exactly what the inputs were in a particular time and place and then the second is how consistent are you being over time and how flexible is your system to let you aggregate that up in different ways so you can look for effects at different time scales and different Geographic scales and I think you know uh the spares on Rob's question because getting that consistency right is much more important for being able to achieve the objectives Rob laid out than getting the Precision right but uh you know looking at U.S government programs in Afghanistan Colombia and Iraq looking at government of Pakistan and government Philippines programs most of the effort on the data side to Andrew's question goes to precision and not to consistency and so I think we're past the point of diminishing returns on that one dimension but we're not investing enough in the Staffing and the labor to make sure that we have things consistently measured and aggregated up so that we can look at them in flexible ways after the fact and do the Strategic Learning so kind of putting the effort in the wrong place when it comes to data in a lot of these settings thanks I'll open up for questions first off the mark right here um if you uh we're webcasting so please identify yourself and wait to speak until you have the microphone all right thank you my name is Shakib and I'm from The Voice of America I have to question one is directed to Mr Jason the second one goes to syrup I've read like kind of two three reports special reports about the user projects in Afghanistan and the more emphasis is on small projects one concern about this small projects is that the impact is also small and as well as the sustainability is also like limited and small uh the people of one sound like one like kind of bigger projects that can affect their life ultimately and the second question is about the budget cut the Trump Administration started like federal budget cut and ultimately it will affect the state department and USA as well will that affect the projects in Afghanistan I think I'm going to take two or three questions and come back to the panel um Aleister thanks very much Aleister McKinley overseas development Institute London and former World Bank Country director for Afghanistan um I I very much welcome the study because um there's a lot of work going on about conflict prevention and the role of um of development interventions on on violence and as a recent study came out in the last few weeks on South Sudan and and that study as as others raises the issue of legitimacy how do how do people in the country see legitimacy what is the relationship between legitimacy and and and ownership and and and that also leads into the question about um you know stabilization the right concept is it something we do to them um rather than looking at the experience of successful Colonial rules whether it's the British the Turks or even the early Spirit of Islam which is very much um indirectly influencing a country rather than trying to take it over and shape its institution but but looking at this through a legitimacy lens um is is um what role does uh Public Service provision play I mean is is the stabilization really using the wrong instruments um are the issues really much more of the other dimensions of of legitimacy like like justice the way in which the state represents the the values of the population what is the role of the distribution of rents you know in some kind of market for um for loyalty for example so the question is is during the analysis of stabilization interventions how they turned out is one thing but what was the rationale for these interventions originally was the theory of change valid um were these considered legitimate by the local population and I just wonder whether we're scratching the surface and not really drilling down deeply enough into what drives conflict in Afghanistan thank you one last question the woman in third row here hi um my name is Salma I'm just an intern with the House of Representatives but I'm Afghan I'm pushed soon and my question was just sort of bringing up this history you know in the 70s the 80s the US was funding the mujahideen in a proxy war against the Soviet Union so how do you get I mean given that history of the US the US's involvement of the U.S funding the majah had been to get like the Afghan people to trust us organizations like The Institute of Peace and then also given the fact that the US is still allied with Pakistan that the US has you know kind of interesting relations with Saudi Arabia right now Saudi Arabia which funded madrasas in Pakistan in peshar specifically that trained these mujahideen and then sent them to Afghanistan so how do you reconcile that past and this present of having these alliances with Pakistan with Saudi Arabia that funds terrorism and getting the Afghan people and the Afghan government to actually trust more U.S interference okay thank you we'll go back to the panel and again uh and anyone want to start off as rob you seem about to jump in okay you know I was about to tell him to answer the questions that were given to him um so on the legitimacy uh argument I think there are a lot of filters on all of this and one of them is the Need for Speed which emanates always out of Washington and so we start getting into what is possible in three to six months that's not that we don't understand that the underlying tensions that really need to be fixed are ones of basic legitimacy you point to justice justice is almost always the first second or third thing that people point to in these places that they want um we I many parts of Afghanistan have benefited from courthouses that have been built and rebuilt several times because if you want to set up a rule of law program or a Justice in quotes program the only thing that you can really do in a Justice program in six months is to build a courthouse uh I've spent a lot of time in South Sudan where a lot of people spend a lot of time sitting under trees every day listening to court cases and the courthouse is the least important part of a justice system however if you want an active and effective justicism you need justice system you need judges for judges you need people that went to law school for law school you need people that have a bachelor's degree for a bachelor's degree you need someone went to high school for high school they had to have an elementary and primary education that takes 30 years when the Need for Speed is we need something to happen within six months No One In The Situation Room wants to be presented with a plan for a 30-year justice system that doesn't mean that we don't think that's a problem it just speaks to let's be realistic about what stabilization programs can do and that let's be realistic that they have to be part of a larger more comprehensive and much longer term plan that plan might change but if we get obsessed with just the immediate stabilization needs it's very easy that we can actually undermine the legitimacy that we're trying to build in a lot of those a lot of those things on the trust you know trust is earned trust comes about not by word but by deed in a lot of these places we find ourselves in very difficult circumstances given all the different players and neighboring countries and all the different relationships that we have to um to to manage over time and I think one of the base reasons you look at when we step back all the things we're talking about it's really good people some of whom I see in this room I knew have spent a lot of time in Afghanistan working really hard at the wrist themselves to help the people of Afghanistan they're not there for you mentioned I don't like to take a lot of lessons from colonialism they're not there for colonialism they're not there as some part of invasion they're there to try to help the people of Afghanistan it's through those programs it's through the attitude that we bring it's through what we can do in support of the people of Afghanistan for them to decide if they want to trust us or not just a couple we had a couple uh points on the small versus large I think you know there's a there's a role for both um and particularly a you know longer term development you can have big projects that make a big impact on people's lives key on the stabilization is you know why is to better understand locally why are people grieved like what what is what is it that they have an issue with and if you're gonna go if you're going to do some programs you better be sure that that's addressing the grievance if you build a school they're not grieved because they don't have a school well yes it can sort of have development impacts but it's not going to fundamentally address the driver of the conflict and so I think what the study has found is that these small projects can be helpful to address some very specific immediate grievance issues and in terms of legitimacy I think one of the things we've seen here in other places is it's not just the service provision right just serving I mean just having the government serve services in you know rural Mississippi is not going to make the people sort of say well great I I my government's taking care of me um it's how is the community involved in determining what's needed and how those services are delivered and is their accountability built in if you don't have that local involvement the service provision going to be very difficult to actually make an impact and finally on trust just a point on you know I agree with Rob that you know when we're there we are trying to do for the good of the Afghan people but also to serve Americans National interest I mean let's be clear about that but when you do go in if you go in as part of a military and you start doing development work or stabilization you will be viewed that you are part of the military apparatus no question about it and then if you sort of as the policy changes you begin to say okay well we're not military we're sort of development people because that's how you know we will see ourselves the the locals are not going to see you any differently you will always be part of the military apparatus sort of for years and years because that's where they foresaw you and that's the assumption that they have so I'll stop there anything else let's go back for another round of questions um back here in the David Sydney David Saturday formerly with the state department and the CE at DOD and most recently uh acting president of the American University of Afghanistan for the last nine months I first want to say how about much I admire the report along with Iran study of serp these are the two best data-driven analyzes that I've seen of this issue what I really hope is that there's some more coming out a book even because you clearly have a lot of data behind that and that's why I would love to see even more of what you're doing secondly on the overarching of stabilization um I I agree the fact that 16 years after we first went to Afghanistan we're still talking about stabilization to me it was very clearly the question of the intersection of overall policy versus what we're doing you you stabilize a patient and then you work to cure the illness we're still stabilizing we lack an overall policy everyone is I think made clear um one one comment about the military so I've worked both with the military and with the state department and others the problem here is not the military and size or its capabilities the military is that way because the people of the United States have made the decision decision to have it being military and made the decision to have a small Aid um we've elected three straight presidents who don't want to do nation building my question is really there is uh which is which is one we or not what I want to take on can we succeed addressing a big problem with two small resources which is what I think we lies at the heart of a lot of the issues we've had thank you I'm over here on the left um Jared Godby a recent graduate uh so I I've noticed there's a couple kind of parallel probably uh problems that have been identified one of them is the distance or the yeah the distance between any type of developed strategy going into these situations and the particular practices that are taking place on the ground but academically it looks like there's also probably a distance between any type of theory of stability that exists or that is being relied upon to uh influence or to test using the quantitative methods that a lot of these studies like the one currently has been used they tend to rely on a lot of previous quantitative studies that use factors of identification um would you like I guess agree with those characteristics and is there anything that we can do moving forward I guess to create a theory of stability that can be used to influence both strategy and the empirical studies afterwards and lastly the gentleman here okay okay my name is Sergey and I used to leave an Afghanistan for four years and now I'm Consulting for David programs in Afghanistan so my um at the standing of stability stabilization is country could be stabilized if if there is a willingness for local business to invest money that's if there is no interest it means this country is not stable so now businesses are hesitant to invest money their local business hesitant to invest money because of security concerns they're not sure that tomorrow it will be ruined and that dressed so and I know this by doing assessment of grants that we are willing to to give to different businesses and we say okay we will give half 50 percent of the entire cost invest another 50. and they are still not willing to do this how to mitigate these concerns security concerns I mean how to be realistic in this and do you think there is a way because we we should encourage business to do more to invest their own money not just rely on donors but engage their own capacity thank you thank you um bill yeah could I come back I'll come to your question on investment but also briefly on a couple of their previous points you know I think Bruce Rydell said very cogently that the U.S was on at different as in the unique position of being on both sides of us of a Civil War and counter Insurgency over at different times during the last 30 years so I think it sort of gets to your point and uh actually we did some work earlier on lessons from the Soviet withdrawal for the current or for the 2011-14 transition and uh I think that's important on large projects I I couldn't agree more I think one of the failures was not to start if you know each year you have a short-term approach but then you go 15 years without a major say irrigation project that that is just wrong you know and then some other projects related to context and and also thinking about places like Syria you know urban areas are different and the failure to get electricity to Kabul for the first about seven years I think was was a failure and so you know actually if you're looking at a place like Syria for the urban Parts I'm not I'm not you know a lot of the lessons or thoughts will be different it may not be that small it's beautiful you may want to make sure there's water supply electricity buildings are rebuilt it may be like a more classical reconstruction program which worked extremely well on a short time Horizon in Europe and Japan after World War II but that was because there was politics and institutions behind it and uh so so just wanted to flag that uh I think on the business thing your point is well taken I would just you know it sort of gets to the Primacy of security concerns and I think there was another very interesting esoc paper using cell phone data which suggests or or one of those policy implications you better make sure the urban areas are secure because that's where the business investment is going to happen that's where you might be able to attract some I think it's it's not only security though it's the political short-termism it's the you know a republic of Korea look at that that's the biggest success story I'd argue political development everything the U.S security guarantee for the Republic of security of of Korea was never in question as far as I know since 19. 50 basically look at Afghanistan you know complete withdrawal by 2016 shift by 2014 all kinds of deadlines Forever on the security side and then what do you expect Aid to accomplish got it really only one answer to can you succeed with the big problem with too little resources but I think and and sort of perceived failures with stabilization in Afghanistan but with this sort of broader project of his stabilization a thing we should be doing is this misalignment between what we think stabilization is for and what it's actually for and I don't disagree at all that if you've been in a place for more than 15 years you could probably do a couple of big development projects and development projects do have longer execution times and longer time Horizons but 15 years can kind of fit into that that's not saying we haven't done that in Afghanistan but that is saying that those things weren't necessarily called stabilization and they shouldn't be called stabilization right those are longer term development objectives they're a longer term political objectives that we can debate and I'm sure folks here know plenty uh more about that but the stabilization programs are not going to be all things to all people and they're not a silver bullet they're not magical but they can provide a necessary space in this overall arsenal of tools and I think what's worth kind of thinking about is not are we resourcing stabilization enough but to David's Point are we resourcing the tools that we need for this overall campaign or overall strategy in the right proportions to get to where we want to go and I think that piece has been missing in Afghanistan for a long time for a lot of reasons that are too long to get into but it's worth just remembering that this is not a stabilization critique this is a strategic question about what we're trying to achieve here and what resources are needed to achieve that okay I think we'll go back to the audience for another round of questions anyone here I just had a more messy question about um oh sorry my name is Chris feinstra I'm a social psychologist I had a more basic question really about um how you measure commitment um by the local community in these projects and so I guess it's sort of the hearts and minds and the local Focus I'm assuming that the more the local community is actually committed to the project the more counterproductive it would be for insurgents to actually destroy the project and secondly I'm also assuming that in terms of your point about it being a dynamic context um as politics change in the US the perception of the US changes then levels of commitment to U.S projects are going to change so I'm just wondering how you measure commitments you know local commitment to projects over time um or how you think about that or is that something that's that that's done mine's it's a basic really about me right next to it I'd like to pick up again on writer's point it also bills and others about the lack of clarity of objectives uh I'm by the way Nick craft also previous World Bank Country director in Afghanistan I think there is Clarity of objective in Afghanistan and it the the the but we need to understand the objectives conflict there are the objectives of the development Community which we all think we understand and know I'm not sure we do but we think we do a manner of the objectives which was set down at the beginning which was basically to ensure the security of the United States and fight against anti-terrorism and if you read some of the Barney Rubin stuff you'll see how important that is at the as the overall objective those objectives completely and utterly conflict I think we need to understand that and operate within that environment because we'll never get clarity of of objective the problem with when you do understand that and of course then you get the US Military and others working with Warlords and and Border posts supporting military groups which are then present at Customs posts and then you think you're gonna bring honesty and anti-corruption to the custom things it is complete the antithesis of building up a legal Judicial System um and and my own sense of having people with the World Bank is that one one probably ought to accept what these conflicting objectives are and then operate within them and in my opinion frankly trying to build up a legal judicial system within that context is frankly just you know flowing against the the wind but there are plenty of areas in which we can operate Education Health NFP and the rest and we we ought to understand that better and then operate within it I know it's very difficult but it does mean also you can't build up a legal Judicial System you know just one sort of more minor level point uh you know I just give one specific example I remember a time we were discussing about building up taking on somebody's point about how it's all about communities and building up from the bottom um there was this discussion that went on for probably two years around the time of karzai's re-election about the district level councils and there were two uh two sets one was the appointed District level councils which was done by the ministry of uh local government and then the other was using NSP the the community level Council having a sort of number of them agglomerate together and then building those up to the top of course Karzai and others wanted the first because that allowed people appointed in positions to support his election and the donut Community well basically led by the United States went with with the first I think most people must have understood that that was the wrong thing to do but we did it because that's what Karzai wanted and the sort of interested in you know when one talks about what we need to do what the government wants and built how do you deal with the situation something like that where what you're doing is you almost for sure know it's not really in the interest of the country there's one question in the very back foreign Associates there's a question in the report about whether addressing economic conditions should be a necessary element of stabilization activity and whether the effects or success are unclear and then there's also a mention about a lack of evidence linking economic conditions instability and conflict so kind of a Loosely worded question what indicators are missing what things would you have wanted in the data to draw those conclusions and develop those linkages and then building on that do you think that addressing economic conditions can be done on the small scale or does it need to be longer term with a longer time Horizon thank you we're going to go back to the piano and I think we'll just have time for sort of maybe starting with Bill work our way back ending with you Jake and take a couple minutes each to answer the questions in any concluding remarks okay yeah I'll sort of okay turn your mic on turn the mic on weave together on Nick's point and uh and uh and also going back to the earlier one I mean I think you don't want to retire stabilization because the the fund I mean let's be quite Frank and David said what that Aid was under resources that may be true globally but I don't think it was true in Afghanistan there was it was true and before 2006 largely and after 2006 Afghanistan was pretty well resourced in terms of Civilian development and stabilization assistance it was pretty high so so you have this sort of revealed preference nobody wants to do nation building but they end up spending a lot of money on on civilian aspects following the troops and I think it's important that usaid maintain a seat at the table and and not be you know we talked about being a team player but not be a sort of very Junior subordinate member of the team that basically just follows what what the dod suggests and I think that that has got to change and uh you know how you change that politically it gets to the incentives within Washington I mean one sort of probably bold and totally unrealistic recommendation is go back to the USA having a cabinet level position in the government by the way just to to highlight diffhead my impression in Kabul and and more it was stiff it had actually a much stronger position vis-a-vis the ministry of Defense in the UK not necessarily equal but at least able to argue points for ex for example on Counter Narcotics I my impression was that usaid was more of a of a victim or or unfortunately sort of cornered into being a follower and I think actually having usaid fully at the table is really important because the other thing I learned in Afghanistan as a development practitioner was how shockingly bad the diplomats were at political strategy and so you may even need the development people there to look at to be able to bring in the points about the need for for a longer term and political kind of strategy uh so you you navigate the different objectives as Nick was saying but I do think it's really important to have a seat at the table on these bigger strategic questions and uh that that's really critical for success in the future thanks I won't weigh in on any of that um but quickly back to David's point and as Rada and Billy point out in these particular contexts lack of resources wasn't the biggest issue it's what are we doing with those resources what are we expecting to achieve and how are they aligned in a nutshell um on how do we measure commitment I'll leave that to the academics on this generalist who says you know when you see it but what it looks like is when you go in you provide a community the opportunity to be committed to that project from the start from the get-go starts with shutting up and listening and saying what do you want and we often with all the best intentions say we have a water program so then you enter into a village and say we're here to work on the water system as you said you can have a school program run around doing schools that's great if you want to improve the number of maybe quality of schools but if you're trying to get at whatever grievances or whatever issues are there you're going to do that based on want not on need and that starts with asking people what do they want that's one two who decides well you get the community to decide themselves and then that's where you really have to get into what's the actual dynamic in this community and that's why this stuff is very high touch and it's hard to take to scale is that actually what the community wants or is that what the local wannabe warlord wants you learn that only through doing and the follow-up project and a follow-up project and then you will see if these people are committed to fixing the well that you helped them build are they actually putting in their own resources and if it's not money is it time is it commitment is it is it a emotion about these things and then if you're not getting that level of commitment you drop them and move on because you can keep trying to do stuff but you don't have the commitment it's not going to work lastly Nick on your issue uh I won't speak to that specific thing although I remember that debate and I saw some Smiles of others in the room who remember that debate that's where the teamwork comes in that's what happens at the situation room that's what happens at Country team that's what happens when we're trying to work on we are usaid a player um whether we're a bit player a substantive player changes with personality with country with context with the plan our job and responsibility is to argue based on what we know sometimes we will win sometimes we will not but the same can be said for our military colleagues I see a lot of military plans that are never executed because the aid or state people say here's the secondary third order or fourth order effects of you doing that and they get overruled so that's part of the game that is government and policy making and it's it hurts sometimes but it's Camp it's compromise just one quick point on Bill's comment I mean I can't speak personally to what it was five or ten years ago but I want to you know assure folks we are at the table uh particularly and talking about Afghanistan and we're being listened to a bunch of the sort of quantitative and evaluation questions that sort of came through and use that as an excuse to wrap up one for Jason that's right well I'll leave all the tough ones I'll just take some surface skimmers so just as a reminder you know when when I was talking about the results we had these three themes of stabilization is hard it's a dynamic system and we need to think about these strategic evaluations not just sort of localized program program evaluations and I think sort of in thinking through the fact that sort of returning to a really early question on the distance between sort of theories of stability theories of change and what we're quantitatively measuring I think we've got actually a pretty robust body of evidence both on the quantitative sort of pretty well-designed experimental stuff with the national solidarity program uh non-experimental but pretty well-designed uh matching study with Misty and a number of other programs looking at serp rant has a report um such that we know the kinds of outcomes we can measure and what types of changes happen or don't I think the Gap isn't so much in the measuring those outcomes and the theory measuring those outcomes and saying what they mean it's talking about whether those outcomes are meaningful and if they're meaningful for the theory of change that's operating and to some extent that theory of change comes from bigger picture it comes from overall strategy and it comes from a different and sort of separate set of research and evidence and policy making and an experience on the ground that we don't certainly review in this study but certainly exists in in multitudes related to the case of Afghanistan so I think that gap of really teasing out what do we think the theory of change what were theories of change and which ones do we think were operative frankly I suspect the real question is which ones were operative when and where uh it is an open question for research and one that's worth thinking about but body of evidence there are a number of number of conclusion here that we can draw that relate to the two of the questions that were asked both on economic measures the short answer is there's lots of survey measures and economic activity we use night lights but I think the key sort of rehashing Jake's point is to pick something and measure it over and over again so we can see Improvement um and similarly you know we we have some senses on what it looks like after the fact when a community has bought into a program I don't know we have great measures for it but we could keep measuring those after the fact outcomes and seeing if the programs are successful but we've got to do that over and over again and so that kind of consistency and strategic level view of monitoring and evaluation is really important but look we're not offering up Magic Bullets here right we can do we can review almost 100 studies and we can look at lots and lots of data but at the end of the day the lessons from this analysis aren't going to make stabilization efforts more effective in and of themselves right setting up future programs to collect sort of the right kind of data at the right level and have the right kind of analysis is helpful as is planning ahead as is sort of taking advantage of new technologies that make data collection or program delivery more Advantage but at the end of the day the best practices have to be incorporated into this sort of strategic view that is realistic and fair to stabilization as a project in its narrow role but the campaign that you're looking at on a on a broader scale and I think that's still true in Afghanistan but it's true in lots of other places too as we think about Syria thinking that we're going to have a stabilization that brings government in a box in six months in raqqa is probably it's probably not a fair pitch for stabilization and also probably something that's not going to usefully resource or make good use of detailed measurement and evaluation they could do the greatest measurement in evaluation possible I can tell you the outcomes of the study right now so I think you know at the end of the day what we're hoping these results show is both that hey there are some modest gains to be had but on we can think about these Gates and lessons after the fact to enable better design and implementation of stabilization programs in this broader nested strategy in Afghanistan and other conflict affected places and let me just stop there yeah so so so so just to to take the last word here I think something that comes out of this study and comes out of research uh that esoc has done and other people have done in more than 15 other countries around the world where development assistance is being used as part of a tool to rebuild social and political order is this idea that's been emphasized again and again up here which is what can you do with this type of programming to advance the political end state that you want and across all these places what you see is that there are ways in which even in the most violent places Aid can contribute to opening up political space and creating incentives for settlement right and a wonderful example of this is Colombia where not development assistance but actually military aid and Loan guarantees overcame a funding constraint that the Colombian government had to enable it to enact a military policy that after 10 or 15 years created the space that you could get a bargain between the park and the government that was not on offer 15 years previously in Iraq the combination of military action and development assistance enabled a series of local Bargains that opened up tremendous political Space by 2009 for a settlement of long-running disputes between the Sunni and Shia populations it wasn't acted on by the government but the combination of Aid and military action clearly opened up that space that didn't exist in 2005 six or until the very end of 2007. so there's clearly great potential for synergistic effects here uh what I think gets in the way of that in some cases and is unfortunate is these unrealistic expectations and uh to end on a point Jason raised earlier the conflation of the two goals for development assistance in Conflict areas and so the ways in which you would spend money to advance that political settlement that comes from some theory of political change that may or may not be the same as the ways in you would you would use development spending and put the efforts of of the people that both rod and Rob have highlighted to work for long-term development and so I think if we can separate out those two goals and think about development programming as having a role in both but a distinct role in both we can do a lot better at applying this tool of the government to help rebuild social and political order in these environments um thank you I'm going to conclude with yeah another quote um uh I included in the paper I wrote called money can't buy America love in 2009 which may reveal some of my bias but um uh it was a a usaid study that said the use of aid for short-term political objectives tended to weaken the longer term political interests of the United States Aid is a tool of diplomacy has its limitations when politically motivated commitments are at much higher levels and promise more than can reasonably delivered in economic returns some of you will be familiar with this quote but this is a quote from a study I dug up in 2007 or 2008 on a usaid assessment of its large investments in Afghanistan from 1950 to 1979 and was written in 1988 just as the Soviets are about to pull out of Afghanistan usaid many of us working in Peshawar in those days started our planning to move into Kabul and rebuild Afghanistan after the Soviets left and usaid actually thought let's take a minute reflect on what we've done during that 1950 to 1979 when it's important to remember Afghanistan was the single the largest per capita recipient of donor assistance in the world due to the Cold War um when effort when hearts and lines in Afghanistan during part of that period and so I think just to conclude I think maybe the next esoc study should be to look at why again we've learned lots of lessons but why are lessons not learned or applied I mean we're learning them but and you know others have talked about this but I think in particular an interesting question is the incentive structures again against sometimes learning these lessons especially in an environment where security everything has to be justified increasingly in security teams terms to be legitimate or to get resource so there's some very real incentives to say what you're doing is stabilizing or having Security benefits to get more of the development resources um and you know so I think that's a real problem we have again because I do feel you know having worked you know costs a long time there's been tremendous development gains from the investments in Afghanistan which again don't get valued because they failed to achieve the security objectives which I think they were best suited so thank you very much for coming giving us valuable time thank you for those who joined us online today and last but not least please join me in thanking our panelists thank you | United States Institute of Peace | UCgeE37huZNRgR12eA0RGhXw | 2017-06-21 | Creative Commons Attribution license (reuse allowed) | en | metadata | en | 16,160 | 88,386 |
ebTAKw1bQ7I | https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ebTAKw1bQ7I | Euclidean Triangles, Irrational Numbers, and the Purpose of Geometric Theories | continuing our conversation about geometry this week so the question was asked what is geometry about the central question there's another related question which has equally important implications and it's what is the purpose of creating a geometric theory and how you answer that question is going to determine what types of geometric theories you are satisfied with is the purpose of a geometric theory to explain the phenomena we experience is the purpose to describe the physical world or the world we think we inhabit is the purpose to describe another world let's say the Platonic perfect world where you have perfect objects or is the purpose of a geometric theory pure practicality we're coming up with a system of ideas and methods that we can use if for let's say carpenters and we want to use angles and lines and circles and shapes to make buildings and carve wood a particular way regardless of whether or not our theory is perfectly precise so there are lots of different ways to answer this question the plate inist would say well mathematics tells you certainly true things geometry tells you certainly true things about the Platonic universe the Euclidian objects are out there they're not in the physical world they're not even really in the mental world because they can exist independent of our minds there are in the Platonic world of forms in which there are abstract objects that exist separate of us thinking about them that's one approach the opposite of that would be something like saying that geometry is just about pure practicality and whether or not it's perfectly logically precise is irrelevant concrete example take the Pythagorean theorem probably the most proven theory in all of mathematics ever so most people think you can't doubt the Pythagorean theorem well Pythagorean theorem applies presupposes a certain type of metaphysics is a little straight so in the Pythagorean theorem everybody is familiar a squared plus B squared equals C squared well in that formula it's supposed to tell you about the length of a hypotenuse of a triangle you necessarily get square roots now in the dominant conception of how square roots work for a long for the last few millennia is that square roots will yield irrational numbers or numbers with non terminating decimal expansion what does that mean practically speaking that means if you're an engineer working with the hypotenuse of a triangle you are left with a non terminating series of decimals which you cannot make a car of a piece of wood you cannot create some machine you cannot create a hypotenuse that includes an infinite number of decimals you have to approximate so is that okay is it okay that with square roots and irrational numbers we are actually when we use the formulas we are approximating does that mean that the theory is wrong does that mean that the world is just too imprecise for the perfect Euclidean space there are a couple kind of standard answers to that question for the few people that actually have the guts to ask one of the standard answers is to say no Euclidean space is perfect itself it is into this other realm our physical world our approximation is a distant shadow this is a very platonic way of thinking so we live in kind of a crude and imprecise world but it doesn't affect the perfection of that theory the other approach is to say well it's good enough infinite decimal expansion means you can make the calculations as precise as you like and that should be good enough let me give you my own heretical approach it's even more fundamental really than even Euclidean geometry which is if you are dealing with a supposed irrational number it is a demonstration that there is a flaw in your theory and here's the reason why I don't believe there is such a thing as actually existing infinite decimal expansion because I do not believe that numbers exist separate of our conceiving of them what infinite decimal expansion presupposes is that numbers the decimal expansion of a number somehow continues off in the distance after the dot dot dot without us thinking about them for example if you were to try to represent the quantity of one third in terms of decimal expansion as point three three three three three three and so on and that's supposed to mean and there's a never-ending amount of 3s over there I don't think numbers work that way I think numbers have a metaphysical existence in our head so to say point three three and so on even when we're not thinking about it is nonsense I would say it's a it's a demonstration that the language of decimal expansion is not perfectly precise you can represent the quantity of one third with a fraction you cannot with decimal expansion that's a problem with decimal expansion so how it applies to Euclidean geometry as if it's the case that you've come up with some hypotenuse and a triangle and the only way you can try to grasp the length of the hypotenuse is by invoking irrational numbers well it's not precise its demonstrably not precise you have to approximate in my theory of mathematics I'm not okay with approximation if we're talking about useful mathematics for engineers approximation is fine but I think there's a world of mathematics which is perfectly exactly logically certain and precise we can build the geometric theory from it and it doesn't exist separate of our mind now in doing so you don't get the conclusions of Euclidian geometry but I would say that's okay and it's always remarkable to me to talk to mathematicians and here I would say just the incredibly aggressive dogma that they think there's literally no other way of conceiving of geometry or conceiving of mathematics in general to say that you could create a geometric theory that doesn't include irrational numbers is like saying to a theologian God doesn't exist it's just totally inconceivable and impossible but in fact when you play off the implications of a geometric theory built on base units which take up space actually it explains all the phenomena that we experience without irrational numbers without approximation whatsoever so it's an ambitious project I recognize that but I think it's completely doable and the first step on creating that theory is first recognizing some of the logical metaphysical and philosophical problems with the standard approach to geometry and mathematics in general | Steve Patterson | UCt5ur6JjrWaWAalL66Dt40A |

have books and nice people or people looking for books i'm dyslexic i didn't say you'd be there whoa whoa oh no not another gramophone are they going to come alive the suit of armor yeah scooby-doo there's no need to be like this i'm really i'm really i'm actually scared i'm not even playing the game i'm scared you know what i'm like when i'm scared i'm scared goddammit is the man begging for mercy or is shut the [ __ ] door what's this oh bit of paper did you hear that crack how do i where do i what if i just picked up a slide and tinderbox yours where am i in our tinder boxes far right is that it yeah look up at the chandelier you might be able to how can i not put them in my thing no you need oil for your land and look up this thing was the chandelier you can yeah there you go turn that on but then again light attracts zombies well the doors colors but they're like well light is a particle you see particles can travel through things now if you drop that it'll make a loud noise good job i want them to like the killers just stop this nonsense you really want to see what they look like because i've seen what they look like that's not a good idea you know because you smash through the doors when i come running back they will smash your back doors i'll just close them well that's fine i'll i'll let that i will let them kill i'm not going to fight i'm not going to try and run away i will just throwing rocks off the slope slide one box open the doors pause oh my god all right open the doors under there you might be able to get something all right okay that's pagan symbols if you didn't know that about 10 bucks it's actual what can i use oh no i need oil don't have my land oh sexual i do love a bit of sexuality now you've made us scared of light as well though that's the problem here it's like i can't put light on them pick the broom up oh my god that's just a little kid what sorry what was i saying uh you found something out oh yeah you can create the ender dragon in minecraft on um with just a couple of things really a couple of rare things oh that book shelf looks like you can move it which one the one that stands out this one no ah oh my god that was the tome of deathly hallows the one over there to the far right okay turn around i've got my calls coming back like [ __ ] tone um oh my god don't even that's weird because you had a cold last time with an amnesia maybe it's the game oh my god don't stop it stop it what am i doing what am i doing what what where where it doesn't matter doesn't matter because it doesn't because you were wrong and i'm right thank you zombies out there good they're gonna get you they're good good they're gonna lick your legs i want them to did i not leave this door open i didn't leave this door open they're going to lick your legs i didn't leave the store open either didn't need the one on the left earlier i haven't been to this one yet oh who are these lovely people i think that's justine hey justine you're fighting for an affection hey justine nice beard slide on the table okay what's that it's a man's willy who are you who's there no one oh no oh my god equip the slides and put them through there really do you realize there was one on the table you just completely missed where there twisted child i don't put these through here do i how do i like sing them you've got it you've got it highlighted when you click it and then exit out of it all right we'll just kill him well there's no voice there so you must have obviously i don't know oh that's horrible uh is it a trumpet i can't do this my legs are hurting because i'm that tensed up no no i'm putting my drink down and turned away from this [ __ ] not right not right god damn it who makes a game like this i'm in the game about t-rex's and in a stick man and that door's moving and i think something was trying to get through it ah interesting and i'd do his favor don't open door for you think oh my god look at that inspect that now come next come now we can be reasonable oh wait a minute put the slides in i don't know where i put them in somewhere just around there no that door is getting annoying because i can see it moving yeah me too how do i select the slide seriously i know right click it right click right click zoom that's a funny query oh there we go oh right now look at the door and see if it's moved because it has moved that's freaky i seriously can't look it's um it's it's christ the redeemer i know it's just about to say but oh well good job oh i had it selected then oh i just had oh god okay it moved again okay the boards are breaking what's sprint i'm just getting bolts or braking i know i'm just getting ready to sprint okay look right put the first one in put the second one in bloody blood no i can't deal with this man no look at the board oh god jesus christ okay is that all why does he look like he's doing pelvic thrusts is that all of them you keep pulling them out and then putting them back in you do realize well you dick yeah you gotta pull them out i'm pulling different ones in there's no need look watch i'm sorry i'm really getting annoyed and scared and [ __ ] yeah that's that's the the only ones okay so i don't know what i don't know what remember when i said them slides might be able to fit in the place where you were burning that man okay i can hear i can hear something what yeah well you probably want to get the one that's in the slide machine we'll go back in there and keep flicking the buttons it's gonna close the door yeah it's probably clever if i die you seriously it's the end i i i figured that you can't put them in there yeah you never know ah oh that was the guess but i don't know which ones i'm meant to put in let's try it won't hurt okay so try one and two one and two okay yeah this one yeah this is helpful this is my help with this i click the button click the [ __ ] button you can't move that oh well it must be the number okay so there must be some more somewhere else no no no i don't think there is he looked in all the rooms and you know my eyes are like hawks eyes sorry that wasn't even funny i feel quite upset with you i'm gonna have to pause you're gonna pause i've got to pause yes pause why be on me pause the recording okay we're back apparently mother's day exists yeah it's another it's it's mummy's day today yeah i see him really i only got her a massive [ __ ] card i don't know where i'm going well go back to the room and try alternative and you know little things and shut the doors down just have to randomly put cards in a thing and click the button it's not a game okay so we'll try three isn't that the nintendo 64 entire thing remove the wiggle it up and down that little leather leave it whatever you are oh oh oh no and here it going i think that was my mask i was trying to like scroll my mouse up didn't you have three and four in before um maybe i don't know what i'm trying okay we'll try one right one and four one four why did the screen go red because they're watching us sorry i shouldn't even do that i'm not you're scaring yourself this is mean try two and four oh right are we doing the right thing here no i think we are because they wouldn't fit there right lift the lever before you do this right i can't all right well go in are you sure there's not another one's in another room it seems logical only fall oh god i thought i saw someone there oh wait wait wait wait wait wait wait wait i'm going to the menu right menu yeah no you know what i mean menu the inventory and now click on one of them click on flop for kick off click on four and click on two or click on four and click on three like try to combine them like on runescape when you would make poison eggs which you can't do oh oh [ __ ] i don't think it's gonna i you know i just don't know no i don't think nah i don't i think yeah i think you're fighting for loose ends then i said that was a dodgy wardrobe oh a bookshelf i did say that now you can go and bite your left testicle off because i did say that i'm scared shitless oh there's a grammar form oh great great great can't wait for this this is great i wonder what's this is father david with his god now maybe you helped him there don't you worry i'm sure he didn't have a family he probably wasn't even all that well liked with the current political climate i'm

RuiFxV0zfak | https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RuiFxV0zfak | Making Meaning for the Ending of Our Days, part 2 | you know many times I was asked whether I should bring shut bring my son to the you know the bedside or to the graveside and my my chronic response is why was children and they would say what I don't want my child to be traumatized and I would say and why would they be traumatized and they would say well you know grandpa's all you know slobbering in and delirious apparently another st scary to look at his T throughout I mean I said it's all true but this doesn't add up to trauma this adds up for a child this adds up to something very mysterious and so far without explanation of precedent that doesn't add up to trauma for a kid it adds up to trauma for adults who are addicted to things that are familiar hi welcome to be moment I'm Jeannette Donaldson this is part 2 my conversation with Stephen Jenkinson author of die wise so you are talking about the sedation that is often given to people so that they're unresponsive actually and that's by the name of the passion mm-hmm what would happen otherwise if we didn't do that you know do sometimes you have to generalize to say anything so these are generalizations but here's the that let's work backwards from the last hours okay generally speaking people might be unresponsive even without the sedation in the it's possibly in the last hours depending on the host of variables but as you back up from the last moment in time into the weeks before in the months before what you get is a history of blunting and soothing and comforting and losing track of the realities of dying by which you you can reasonably know where in the art of your days you are that's called lost by another name what I'm asking to consider is that the extraordinary use of sedation at the end of a person's life is not a consequence of the fact that they're done or that their end that they're in their last days it's a consequence of this lawsuit that's the eiectric genic dilemma that I was describing it's actually a consequence of the way we don't die while we're dying and that's the best way to say it we don't identify in culture doesn't ignore dummy doesn't prohibit that not really it's much more subtle and and realistic than that a death for big culture doesn't deny that there's such a it prescribes dyeing well it has a prescription for immersive does if you were to ask 10 people on the street outside this room what would a good death be I can almost assure you that eight of the attributes will be dictated by the death phobia they won't they won't be antidotes in this phobia there'll be attributes of the death for now I'd like to die with my family around me what about everybody else there's one I'd like to die um you know reasonably pain-free you know that's gonna cost them it's gonna cost alertness and awareness why oh jeez I'd like to die so it was peace of mind how are you gonna child G peace of mind in the death phobic culture when your entire life has been lived more or less as if this moment would never happen yes okay yes so you kindly know that this book and it's mention is titled few times let me tell you what it's not called hmm it's not called and this is how I've been introduced sometimes as the author of the book died wisely now what's the difference I could have called it die wisely if that's what I meant if I had called it that then the word wisely in the title refers to your manner of diamond and you might think that's what I'm advocating now but I'm not I called it die wise in this case the word wise does not refer to die because death is not wise so I say why I'm referring to use by which I'm saying I do not collaborate with the idea that no matter how you lived before your dying time no matter how obdurate or otherwise you've been these be are dying magically in the 11th hour and 59th minute you can somehow more actually pluck dying well out of the refusal to die that is characterized at least the culture you lived into your life see I'm saying you're very likely to die in the manner of your living that's what I saw so gathering wisdom while you are living learn it's a very good idea doesn't it carry it on into you like this how about learning about dying with them without the frankly almost cowardly recourse of waiting till there's a terminal diagnosis to prompt you to that money yes yes there's a good example of as you're asked merely what might be done differently yes the answer is living differently living and this is not a good phrase in English because as if somehow suggested it's not really so but to live not as if you will die but that your death is a companion to your life not the annihilation of your life not the condemnation of your life but your life's companion the truest companion you'll ever met anybody who says I do to you cannot keep the promise to you that your death camp you death can look you right in and say I will not blink up I'll not have too much attrition for somebody else and if you keep that promise and it does so so dying excuse me live in your life informed by yes the fact that you're going to die but it's not much of a fact it's a bare-bones thing it has a fact but as a sign of mercy sure they used to call pneumonia the old man's friend that's what it was that's was the euphemism for it do you know what all this is is it I feel in turn for probably at the end pneumonia is a very quick way to go actually it's a couple of days a couple three days depending on how ravaged you already are and yes there's some sound effects some gurgling and so on because there's some along the involvement there but it's pretty fast and that's why it was called a friend now pneumonia is treatable in the end of life more often than not it's still treated you can't die of pneumonia well what can you die of it what's what are the causes of death that we actually serve instead of for it so then what does wisely look like it looks like do everything you can what does wise look like it could look like saying not what can we do about dying but rather what does dying ask of us given we're in the in their days this dying person is what do we know them regardless of whether they ask for it or whether they they don't this is the deep dilemma because if if you go into the death trade as a customer satisfaction specialist inadvertently what you'll find you'll be doing is serving the death phobia that is appearing in the demands and the expectations and the hopes and the dreams of the diners yeah that's what you'll be serving yeah you won't mean to but you're going to have to choose between what the dying person wants for themselves and what dying is promising them and more often than not as it mental health professional or medical practitioner you will choose the person over the diamond and your allegiance will be to the person not to the Demming if you read what Isis sent on a piece of paper you'd say of course that's right yeah right and if you eliminate that last few more senator what I've said it would seem the most compassionate thing to do is serve the person but here's the cabinet this person their way of living and dining has been deeply informed by the realities of the death phobia that they were raising it so of course you wanna see it appear there now you realize what you're really serving that by pretending to to attend dying people you're attending the the manifesto that a death phobic culture writes where it's dying people which is the best death is the least death at least now how do you achieve least death and this is your survey outside will include this okay on your backswing on the golf team that's the way I like to go and just quickly see quick death is less death business that's right yeah why because it happens fast no here's the real foundation at least possible death in the death public culture the way you die at least is that you know that least about it ignorant die not only beasts die not knowing you are haha okay dying or not being obliged to know that you're dying and so you get these discussions in the family room at the hospital should that be told that should be told why should it be told what good would it do to tell he's dying anyway why come that's like you're pregnant what good would it do to tell you right and then all these changes become inexplicable and all this burden you're walking around with it becomes as no story no purpose no meeting attached it's just affliction and his extra weight that is and nothing fits and you have no energy you're throwing up and but there's no story for it and this is deemed to be compassionate anybody who did that to you would be soon for malpractice but let's go Deaver if you yourself have lived in such a way that you cannot recognize you haven't learned enough to know what the signs of your pregnancy are we're really going to crucify obstetrician for that I don't think so I think the deeper responsibility frankly is yours and mine yes so you know the signs you haven't been to medical school you don't have to go to medical school what what behooves you though is to learn that as the inhabitant of this body as the trustee of this body you learn its ways you've certainly did that when you want to learn how to walk and talk and think and be able to run and hopefully all of those things preceded that great you know for quite a long time but then you begin hopefully to learn something like its limits which is as responsible as learning how to run and at some point your obligation as it's trusting is to learn it's dying to a death forged culture forbids that intent as morbid unnecessarily foreclosing on the other possibilities and so this is some compassionate once you start saying it out loud I think we'd agree that it's not I think we agree that it's that you're abandoning your post fringe that you're worrying for the good days yeah yeah but you're not in for the rest of the storm yeah if you don't mind having a body as long as this working what is that called well it's a combination of cowardice and a deeply immature understanding of what it means to have been granted life knowing that this body breaking down dissolving whatever words we are right it's just as natural is it's part of the bargain it's part of the deal it's not very natural now natural should be I think she means something in the in the architecture of the way it actually is as I said earlier we have messed with the idea that there's such a thing is your time to die so thoroughly that you can't actually recognize it when you're in it it's all negotiable now I'll give you a little vignette that tells you what this looks like I'm teaching in ICU one time in a hospital most people are there with her Suda but one guys that is greens from the operating room and he said to me at I actually don't know why I'm here learning about dying so why is that he said I uprightly not know machine name I forget enough I said what's that and he said well it was designed very high-tech design for to aid in transplant so that when you're going through transplant being hooked up to this it breathes for you it circulates your blood for you was a third one doesn't think for you to be man well whatever the three functions I'm blanking there he said but we don't use it very much in transplant anymore we use in palliative care now a machine that keeps you in reading keeps you keep your heart going but cold purifier yes yes this is this is there how can we learn about dying while we're living yeah I suspect those organs being there watching them serving yeah yeah being they're asking being there from the time you're six or seven months old - you know many times I was asked whether I should bring Shepherd my son to them you know the bedside or to the graveside and my my chronic response is what was June and they would say what I don't want my child to be traumatized I would say and why would they be traumatized and they would say well you know grandma's all you know slobbering and delirious apparently another st scary to look at his teeth throughout everything I said that's all true but um this doesn't add up to trauma but this adds up for a child this adds up to something very mysterious and so far without explanation of precedent that doesn't have it - trauma for a kid it has up to trauma for adults who are addicted to things that are familiar hmm so I'll tell you what the trauma comes from the kid looks in the bed then looks at you then looks at the bed and watches so you be looking grandpa who may not recognize because they've been up in the bed as they often do mm-hmm but they have and so they look at you one more time and at some point they have to decide because there's there's an event that's called a trade cognitive dissonance I mean some not had enough I can see something but this person behaving is if they can't see it but it's right there stiff upper lip stay there she goes whatever it is which of the two is more trustworthy to a child eventually they're going to have to offer the people feed them that's right not the reality they they're learning or trying to learn or eventually are forbidden to learn in a bit and that's where the trauma comes from from that dissonance and the gravesite basically the same thing so so yeah from a very early age just export not explanations not diagrams I mean what he could explain about the realities of day how are you gonna explain the mysteries they can explain where grandpa is now as if you know okay all of those platitudes have them that go on at the graveside Road you know a better place pieces like anybody knows this but nobody knows okay you might vote for it so say that you say your kid but here's what here's what we're counting on but it seems to be a bit unknowable from here so I can't reassure you about anything and look you in the eye so we don't look them in the eye you're sure the mum down in silence how do you think this death moment begins to make its purchase on people by virtue of two things skander and skander that's a good energy experience or export direct encounter with these things on the one side and and this terrible shell game that passes for consolation and and comfort on the other because the only way you are going to comfort somebody who's dying or the family of someone who's died in a death folding culture is to underplay the realities what is happening or what is just my father last month lost lost which may be the singular most culpable post-mortem activity we could be engaged losing someone who's dead yes because when you say I lost my father you know describing him the top you're telling us what you did to you after you done it and if you think that's just a word you look around in your life and wonder how many people have not lost the people they claim to have loved I was just teaching him Bobby Bobby's a real place it's not that brochure stuff it's a real place and I can tell you one of the realities of Bobby is somewhat bigger than this book they have little platform outside there where they live little compound and this platform is a house mm-hmm and now you know who is for here in the death for good culture where people are basically illiterate about the realize of dying if I were to say something in the order of not losing father and son more often than not people say to me oh I haven't lost my father's oh really have you medicine well I have or her in my heart right well the Balinese were much more lucid on these matters don't have dead people on their hearts like that because they understand the volatility and the dilemmas that ensue but they do house them and they're not far away and they can go to them and they do everyday because somebody and not living compounds responsibility is to drink offerings of beauty and food and they do that somebody you know does that so you're dead are kept alive in the memory in the stories 7 cents of the tournament maintained sustained in a sustainable way sustained they're not sustained by people you know tearing their clothes and and cutting their skin you know out of kind of you know extravagance of sorrow there sustained by the manner in which the Balinese people themselves live there's the key by their manner of living they also sustained their dead by our manner of living they are banished that's the difference and that's why I called the die wise in your manner of living you would learn your dying by learning the dying of all those who died before you just returners of course learned the body also learned the basics of anatomy and and respiration of course why be stranger to it since you've been the beneficiary of Arizona but this in and of itself doesn't guarantee anything what you do more up is you you call into deep disrepute that which is past for knowledge or compassion during the course of your life when it comes to time that's busy that's why I called it a manifesto because I am calling it a disrepute that which passes for common wisdom because it's common doesn't make it wise and I'm trying to give you a few in this talk for for what what is commonly thought and seen and decided upon and given up on and resorted to knowing this is a prerequisite for every night and it doesn't help to have a living example either in your own town or somewhere in your life or if all else fails from a story from Bobby it was pursued humans are as afflicted this way as we are and it is not part and parcel of dying to go out of your mind while you are yeah yeah I have the privilege of being with a friend daddy who who brought the wisdom from her life into it she was still reading the spiritual books I mean the spiritual people but she hasn't music she wanted she had the people with her she the minimum of pain management that's it nothing nothing to extend out that life and and you know éclairs I said I could be misunderstood you I'm not talking about Coulter here yeah I am not talk about no Kenny managed by my talk but let the symptoms right because that's natural nothing at the time it might turn you better believe I'm gonna at least hope that certain things are available to me and hopefully with some discretion I can choose wisely but who knows what I'm talking about is why choose it what I'm talking about is that the realities of dying are the guides to your choices not how do you not die yes why do and let that guy okay so there's no demonizing from my end of anything that's available in high-tech medicine nothing of the kind that's way too easy and that's more irresponsibility it's learning I'm talking about learning unto wisdom so that you serve done instead of negotiate the relative defeat that you're almost certain the dying won't visit upon me thank you thank you I feel like I feel like a just a baby beginner even glimpsing this and that's how it starts that's how learning starts thank you and I hope that I hope that you died wise I think at least you entertained some of the thoughts here Steven generates an author of dies a manifesto for sanity and soul and I think there's a lot more to explore join us next time thanks for joining me and we appreciate your support people are kind of people | peakmoment | UCadP42o-1XSTgTwchg_QFeA | 2016-04-18 |

NWEYeiWq8N4 | https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NWEYeiWq8N4 | Parillo defends Edmund Tar.,BJ Penn loss, Ortiz/Sonnen and much more! | Carrodus fourth year with Jason Perillo man is the weekend it finally happened man the Tito vs. Sun in 20 years in the making is there you're obviously in camp with him talking to him every day is this that big of a grudge match on his side yeah it is i mean it the magic selfridges it's a grudge match also now with table with itself it's very important for cheater go on top he wants to finish his career on his terms you want to finish his career with a double you obviously and you've done everything you can to get ready for this fight and he's really excited in he's in great shape he talks about how this is a you know everything happens for a reason and you know his birthday is like two days away after the fight you know Jo pinned him on his birthday 20 years ago how happy do you think he'll be getting the victory on Saturday he'll be said you'll see that grave digger you'll see the whole nine yards he's going to be excited I mean it's going to be yeah because he knows that he knows he's made it up in his mind that this is his last fight and you know he wants to feel would the reason why he's there fighting all these years I mean to win a fight as a whole different animal I mean the feeling of winning is obviously a whole different animal in the losing trail and you know and he wants that feeling to go on the rest your life because the term is you're only as good as your last fight now right so you might as well face your career with a win and then you're as good as that site right you uh your camp I mean Tito's saying this is his last fight obviously BJ said kind of going into this that it was kind of towards the end what's that like as a trainer because you know a lot of the old adage is once you kind of start talking about your retired retirement you're retired already what's kind of your take on on actually being in the in the gym with these guys well yeah I mean yes here's the thing is you guys been retired for years yeah so is that like it's not like it's a you know it just even with tito i say i'll try people ask me all types pj really we're gonna bring a preacher going to finally retire now I don't know you know I mean if you want me to give you a yummy say yes or no I mean I mean you're going to make me feel like an in the future by give you a real answer enjoying it um Tito I chemosphere right now this is his last fight but if he called me up at six months at it I'm fighting again wouldn't shock me if it wouldn't shock you a bit yeah you know I you know it's a pleasure to honor to be a part of these final sites with these legends both of them are Hall of Famers I mean they're UFC MMA legend you know Bellator legends you know so at the end of the day you know it's a great privilege to be a part of it and I'm glad that they still are able to listen to me even at this stage of their career I'm lucky lucky with the experience that I've had now to prevent with other fighters putters before them and fighters while David around you know that I have enough experience to where they could still gain something off me you know I'm very fortunate for that and fortunate they're able to listen to me and make those games well they they see that obviously all the work you put in speaking you've talked about BJ tell us how he was after the fight what kind of his emotions were like after Sunday night you know they were down you know they were down there just like it either what do you think you know I mean it's common sense he's not going to be in the you know he's not going to be happy with with the situation the way it was he understands the situation a little bit more because bjs always been you know they've taken him a while to understand that at the end of the day you know you gotta you know you fight one time in five years and you fell short in that fight you know it you know it match make it becomes a is very significant part of whether you can return or not do you know you're not going to be able to reach you you can make the attempt to return but matchmake is going to be a very valuable thing to build your confidence build and get your timing back to get your your groove back you know Stella's got to get her groove back so does bjs it's not going to happen with the top ten guys you know what I mean a 24 year old kid so I really like the lamas fight before that kind of fell free but I'd like to Cole Miller fight in the dentist fever fight those are the fights I like because now we're talking about guys in the top 30 and again they're fighting against a guy that fought once in five years and lost that fight the only reason so does that guy even deserved a fight a top ten guy you know though he does because of his legendary status and but unfortunately that's only you know that Meganium take the legend says on paper you know in that status is going to help put legendary status on paper for the other kid and that's the nature of the sport that's nature the fight game and that's just how it is you know and then we're involved in it you know you got to be on one side of the other and you're going to be on both sides if you're involved in this fighting business for the rest your life exactly speaking of your star pupil Michael Bisping middleweight champion of the world we had some going a little back and forth with Tyrone obviously with you Tyrone fighting Thompson again what's next for Mike when can we see him back you know Mike maestro and Jimmy movie premieres right now hahahaha now you're my crew be back ASAP I know that he was talking about getting some work done because I know he had an injury you know a little bit of injury over his last fight I'm taking I he's looking like i would say march/april somewhere around now I could see him getting good you know getting back in there I'm not yoel you think yeah yoel would be great Tyler Woodley I did that fight to me to the I mean unless we're fighting for a 185 and 170 pound title it doesn't matter it doesn't make it like I def I doesn't make sense to me you know I mean sure if you want to cover 185 and go for the titles and yeah but doing a catch weight of one of these I mean that's or even I think that's just something to talk about you know you know what I know that there's other guys I mean Activision stack there's plenty of guys in Michaels never turned any way down never said no to any fight and that champion as a Japanese never going to do that either he generally easier to fight whoever comes be great to have oil yo la all guys are beatable you know it's just a matter of what I show enough to be in that night you know it's one of last questions want to get your take on obviously you're great MMA mind Ronda Rousey you know there was a big hype over coming back and she laughed in 46 seconds what was kind of your take on that whole situation and her mindset kind of going forward well you know I mean you know she kind of gave Billy I mean I look at her like she got kind of built up pretty quick you know and it in choosing a division that you know so some great matchmaking be being made on her part and and she's obviously stars obvious a tremendous athlete you know she there's an or there's something about her that drew the attention that she drew so you know you gotta give it to her for that you know and unfortunately her stand-up game isn't isn't isn't to where it needs to be people talk about it being it people talk about Ronda Rousey like the game's passing her by or like she hasn't evolved with the game right am i right arrives at the I personal I was like to me that I scratched my head when I hear that I think to myself no Ronda Rousey hasn't really got the chance to catch up you know I mean Ronda Rousey's been winning all these fights with the judo with it with it with it not a one-dimensional but she spent one you know she hasn't spent the time to develop her stand-up game today I mean look I don't know what she does with her coach I know that poor poor guys got a hell of a lot of you know i mean and i'm sure they're doing something you know they did something right leading up to the last couple fights we know that because we're still talking about her right now so they were doing something right you know whether it's an involvement or never even never really getting that for you know I say she was exposed I think she was a little exposed to stand up fighting I don't think she I think she is a little green when it comes to standing up in exchanging punches you know and I don't see anybody being in front of her prior Holly homes that really had something you know the girl that she knocked out was a good what was what her body mechanics she looks like she was you know taking a UFC class at the UFC gym you know I mean the only mean that's the way I look at like so i mean they she cheated so she almost had aided in it we came and blame Rhonda she had a false sense of security with that you're dealing with that false sense of security and then if and then also she's a superstar with all this money also she's

SlyxGZz8v5g | https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SlyxGZz8v5g | DIY Foaming Hand Soap | Just like Bath & Body Works | How to Make Soap at Home | DIY Soap Tutorial | hello happy people i'm back with another video and today i have a different type of bath and body works video so during my sas sale haul i asked you all if you wanted to see how i made foaming hand soaps using just a regular bath and bodywork shower gel and i got a lot of comments saying that you all wanted me to show you all a quick tutorial on how to do that so i'm bringing that video to you what you'll need to do this is any shower gel from bath and body works or it probably could be shower gels from other places too but i know um the potency in the bath and bodywork shower gels are nice and thick so you'll get a better foam from it so i'm going to be using the foaming hand soap in a champagne apple and honey this is part of my project use it up and i'm really trying to get through this scent so i'm going to use this and then i'm also going to use a foaming hand soap dispenser that's the more important thing you need actually is a foaming hand soap dispenser so i actually hauled this during one of my sas sales a few years back and so you can see this is actually from bath and body works and it is just like a matte black uh foaming hand soap dispenser actually i got this um for like two bucks or something during their um 75 off sale the sas sale but you see it has that foaming hand soap dispenser pump right and that's the more important thing that you need in order to make this work or you could just use any of your old foaming hand soap dispensers that come in like the regular packaging i did have that um but i guess i've since discarded it so i'm going to just use my actual foaming hand soap dispenser so what you'll need to do for this is you'll want to fill the bottle up about not even a fourth of the way maybe like an eighth of the way so like maybe up to here so let me go ahead and put some of that in here and i'm just going to kind of eyeball it since i really can't see what's going on down there so i'm going to just pour it in here like so until i think it's enough in there i would say maybe yes i'm gonna just kind of take a look that's filled up to about here i'm gonna fill it up just a little bit more to get it to here so you just add a little bit more here like so okay now i'm gonna look inside again okay so inside is filled up to about here which is where i need it to be and literally you guys the rest of the way you just fill it up with water so i have my bottle of water here i just got some regular drinking water and you'll just fill it up to the top right so let me just pour it up to the top for you guys and i want to kind of look in here just to make sure i'm not overflowing on camera here okay so i filled it up to the top and then you want to make sure you don't fill it up too far up because when you put your lid in obviously some of the liquids might spill out so then you'll want to go ahead and put your top back on like so and then the most important thing and the most fun part is to shake it up so you just want to shake shake shake shake shake shake shake shake i'm done so once you feel like it's all shaken up nice and good typically after i shake it up it has like a lot of like bubbles and suds in it i find that that's not the best way to like use it it's good to just kind of like shake it up and then let it settle to where like the soap or to where the shower gel is kind of mixed in with the water but i'm going to go ahead and demonstrate to you all um what it looks like so i'm just going to go ahead and pump it out so this is my first time actually using this there we go oh it didn't mix up enough okay so let's try that again so i think because the lid was too full i wasn't able to shake the liquid at the bottom to get the shower gel liquefied so i went ahead and shook it off camera a little bit more but as you can see you have your foaming hand soap look at that you guys like isn't that cool and now you can just kind of lather up your hands and wash your hands as you see fit and what's lovely about this is ah now i have the scent of the champagne apple and honey um i'll be right back let me go wash my hands okay i'm back so now you can enjoy your favorite bath and bodywork shower gel as a foaming hand soap and when you use it as a foaming hand soap it lasts way longer so you see that my bottle was maybe um a little bit more a little bit less than half as you can see i still have a lot of the shower gel left in here right so it was probably right here and then that was down to here so i didn't really use too much of the shower gel so that's why i was saying that you could probably if you designate a shower gel to just foaming hand soaps you probably get about let me see you could probably get like six plus different uses out of this if you kind of do your portions the right way you know what i mean so this is a hack that i discovered years ago and i've been doing it ever since so i really don't bother buying any of the gentle foaming hand soaps from bath body works because i literally just make my own from whatever shower gel that i have so yeah that's a great way to if you all have a scent that you like from bath or body works and you really want to stretch it out and you really want to enjoy it in other forms other than just body care you can so yeah that's the hack for you all i hope you all enjoyed this video definitely get more uses out of your products and find ways to stretch them out to thoroughly enjoy them let me know if you all like this type of video um so i do have like other ways that i repurpose my old bath and bodywork items so that was one way to repurpose the old foaming hand soap dispenser i do have ways that i repurpose like for instance like my old candles from bath and body works um i use them in a lot of different ways not just the typical ways either so let me know if you all want to see some hacks on how to repurpose old bath and body work candles if so i'll go ahead and make that video for y'all and show y'all that too because i got some really cool hacks on that and then also let me know if there's any other type of content in particular that you all want to see for me um i definitely make sure i'm putting out videos that you all want to watch so yeah let me know that down in the comments as well i do upload every tuesday thursday and saturday saturdays in particular are my bath and body works videos so if you all like what you saw here definitely stick around join the happy family i'd love to have you and as always you guys leave some love in the comments down below and i'll see you in my next video i hope you all have a wonderful awesome spectacular day bye [Music] | Roze318 | UCy1-jDTH3V7aN81NZyhS5Fg | 2022-01-22 | Creative Commons Attribution license (reuse allowed) | en | metadata | en | 1,400

64ZgpsqyVFE | https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=64ZgpsqyVFE | Star Wars The Clone Wars SEASON 5 FINALE | 5x19-5x20 REACTION!! (EP #107 - 108) | uh [Music] look at that oh my gosh this is so sad no we're so close to getting to the truth it is so sad where all these shots oh what a shot this is so good Peter Clone Wars oh my gosh oh ladies and gentlemen welcome back to more Clone Wars we are on the season five finale part two Arc here we're on to catch a Jedi and the wrong Jedi and then we'll be on the two shortest seasons of The Clone Wars season six and seven and we'll be on the rebels after that 75 episodes of rebels and then we can watch the live action Ahsoka series I want to be able to get through Rebels to understand everything about Ahsoka but I am so excited to watch Ahsoka like I've heard great things they finally released at a decent time too and I just I'm not gonna be able to watch it I wish we uh maybe sped through these shows a bit faster but it would be impossible for me to do yeah I've been hearing good things about that Series so I'm hyped it's gonna be a while before we get there though I'm excited for these last two episodes Ahsoka is all on her own we last saw her jump into that huge pit running from the Clones running from Anakin someone has framed her and we have no idea we speculated at the end of last episode but really have no clue who it is but she only has one lightsaber with her right now and uh I'm a little worried so without further Ado subscribe leave a like let's hop into this episode foreign [Music] [Applause] [Music] desperate enough to trust the untrustworthy she used a Jedi mind trick to convince the Clone to open the door and then proceeded to cut him down along you've got to do a little more investigating I will not believe that Ahsoka could have fallen so yeah the beliefs of the Jedi Council are irrelevant we deal strictly in facts and evidence that really are turning into the Empire pretty quickly here all the themes and everything I think we're being foolish if we take Anakin off this mission thank you Obi-Wan he's emotionally tied to her probably too emotional to do what needs to be done I'd rather capture soken nothing needs to be done go swiftly then Skywalker and bring back this Lost Child before it is too late yes master [Music] okay wow I love the music looks like the Jedi or after one of those of course they gave her an angry photo she needs a a cloak or something wrist oh she's helping safe good I was afraid she was she could still be like the one that's trying to frame her you to call me using the Jedi Communicator find another one contact me I will we love bears steal his robe you're making goat noises [Music] no it actually has to do stuff to defend yourself wow the depth of field on some of these shots is crazy I've got it [Music] let go Mega mine Man Poor was so cause she's done nothing wrong oh no the Tower of Terror protect the kid [Music] dang they got like little TIE fighter Wings almost on their ships Everything's changed and it's pretty cool I like seeing the the advancement of Technology throughout the Clone Wars series as a very cool part of it oh is that adventurous is she the one doing all this that is adventurous I could see by her pale skin and our lightsabers of course and and I'm going to be the one who collects it was you she always sounds exactly like a Zulu from Avatar maybe not exactly kind of sometimes yes and someone who knows how to make easy money but I don't think she's the one that uh framed her just to capture her I mean that would be a smart idea but we've come to like Pinterest I don't think they're gonna make us hate her again in this they're gonna fight together for sure if you help me I'll speak to the council in the Senate on your behalf I'll get you a full pardon for your crimes you have my attention but I'm going to go where the tide flows no now they're gonna see her with Ventress and be like what's going on oh no they're gonna they're gonna think she's working together with her now which I mean she is but [Music] eyes adventurous the wings on those look so weird the Tie Fighter wings they still got a place they're still coming up with the design they'll be there soon enough adding another criminal act to your record I don't want them to be able to trace it and 100 clones on my tail a good space to be in you're almost captured once or twice yeah where are you can't say Barris I believe I found a clue time is okay [Music] the wolf pack and more seems to be an abandoned warehouse where they used to build Munitions that led her visited during the time she was getting access to the nanodroids how did you find this out she made it up my sources that I made it the [ __ ] up we need to find an abandoned Munitions Warehouse in level 1315 we should be able to find some information there you know the place I'm talking about don't you [Music] um don't do anything crazy to me want to fight I do I can do it now come here is going to hurt any of you we're not going to hurt any of you we are taking you in I don't know listen to her oh I love Adventures this is a voice modulation look how they put their guns down and continue getting beat up nice I see I just cut their blasters up you don't need to hurt them at all I'm not even doing anything no not One's Gonna shoot a single stun blast [Music] nice say didn't kill one [Music] yeah those things those little cat things are in Jedi phone order I'm pretty sure I'm so curious if Ventress makes it through this whole series uh honestly every character every character that I find at least a bit interesting I want to know if they survive the Clone Wars will we ever see them again where we have that chance to see them live action or whatever like she's in Phantom Menace of course but that's before this but uh and just for like a Split Second [Music] as Anakin all this music is it it's not oh who was that dang we can't see any skin we can't see anything oh no it looked like they had normal legs not robot runs so probably not Mall thing I don't know who is this I see you've had to change no it's not red dress it's pretty cool it reminds me of like an Inquisitor fight I feel like I saw it was going to be doing a lot of those in the future maybe we did see her fight that one Inquisitor in the um other series Star Wars but not visions tales of the Jedi I don't know thing sound design is so great everything's like going perfectly in sync with the music the whistling of the uh the gas explosion nuts oh what a shot who is this look like a girl probably we don't know them we must not know them no it's Paris it's they were building her up these episodes I I hope I called it it's a girl not talking even if they did they had voice modulation but I don't know if they know that so Ventress is right wait let me let me no we're so close to getting to the truth oh and that's my next episode it's called the wrong Jedi they caught the wrong one they actually got Ahsoka here that makes a lot of sense now I shouldn't have read ahead but like sorry same types of Nano Droids that we use to blow up the Jedi Temple I can't believe it yeah but no no this looks so bad for her I hate it when the Hamilton shows everything looks so bad for a kicker you know is innocent Yes Master Yoda without incident no she was subdued by the clones and found in possession of explosive Nano non-possession she was investigating and you saw Ahsoka get beat up beforehand okay at least she's gonna be safe here unless no she won't be if it's Bears trying to get her she can easily get her here or whoever it is it's a rogue Jedi it's it could be any of them in the temple but I'm like come on I feel like I'm deleting all of what I'm saying about it being embarrassed if it's not virus so if you're seeing this it's Paris no I won't delete it either way that's just I love these these it seemed like I Detective episode from the very beginning of this Arc I'm the detective here case hopefully solved let's hop on to the next episode that was a really great one yeah that was sick anyways let's go never give up never what never never give up never what the way it's Never Back Down never what dang it never give up hope no matter how dark things seem a fair trial padawantano will have in accordance with Jedi tradition very nice Jedi tradition I'm afraid Master Yoda that the Senate believes that an internal Jedi child would seem biased therefore the Senate asked that the council expelled Ahsoka Tano from the Jedi Order so that she may be put to a republic Military Tribunal ain't no way we know in the future right Ahsoka leaves the Jedi Order or she maybe gets expelled here it's like that'd be crazy but she must just leave the Jedi way after Anakin turns after she sees how bad everything gets but um we've seen her throughout the series even like on Andre on and all this stuff her rethinking how the Jedi work how they think and her not really liking it or agreeing with it so I wouldn't be surprised if she leaves on her own because we just know in the future at least through like Mandalorian and stuff she had left the Jedi right so I don't think this I don't think she's going to be expelled from the Jedi Order here yo where's Padme been we haven't seen her in like cool two seasons the council oh the music explosives not in possession this alone is enough to convict her she just was in the same room stand your sentiment Obi-Wan but if the council does as you suggest it could be seen as an act of opposition to the Senate I'm afraid we have a little Choice actually so much so not in possession that that the probe Droid saw her talking to someone on the on the phone on a hologram telling her where the location of the nandroids were at building 1315 or whatever it was called so if they went to the probe joint and if they were watching through it which they were they would know right that the hologram on the phone told her to go to that place that's not like her place where she's in possession of that stuff somewhere she was told to go so just go ask the probe Droid to the Chamber of judgment summons that chamber of judgment and in our decision May the force guide us uh they do not like this this is the Chamber of judgment I feel like I've seen this room before maybe in Lego Star Wars you can go in this room it looks very familiar I'm sorry snipse I just I just don't know what to do it's okay I don't either oh those are real people not not not statues okay oh this is cool oh are they going before the council [Music] yo stuff like this is so sick my favorite scenes in Arcane if you've seen Arcane or the council since which is weird but like I love stuff like this and then the room goes dark and then it lights up on the people Arcane best Council seats not guilty Master alone with that determined when she died can you explain this someone used the force against her which brings us to the interest can you explain your association with her we had a mutual understood she was bounty hunting her helping me did she help you acquire the Nano George Weaponry found when you were apprehended the same devices this is so so hard for like a young little Ahsoka here she has to go and she has to go in the middle of all this all these people questioning her not trusting her it's just it's sad clouded clouded by the dark side by the dark side who reached a decision we have no you clearly questioned her for 30 seconds it is the council's opinion that padwan Ahsoka Tano has committed sedition against the Republic she will be expelled from the Jedi Order yeah oh my gosh whoa the yellow Sabers are sick no this makes me hate the Jedi Order a little more that was so quick no you are bombed from the Jedi Order no but if they figure out what really happened is she able to come back or is that no can she never come back there's Padme wow wow right when I'm in cinnamon wow okay I'm sorry I'm just stuttering I'm in awe of how fast that was until I bring her back though let's work on your defense forgive me if I'm not optimistic I thought I was part of that order but everyone except Anakin has abandoned me I'm not holding out much hope the Senate will treat me any better [Music] no for sure those and it's rigged but wow the Jedi Order turned on her so quick with I mean seeing it from their perspective maybe I I have to really think about it what they know compared to what we know about the situation and knowing that Jedi can betray them and turn to the dark side but they would sense the dark side right oh [Music] I know you're behind all of this prove it oh come on just have a conversation for once guys oh Anakin in his robes so sick [Music] oh I love the sound effect of that but I think with a little Vader breath but it's like backwards that's what it sounds like to me I wonder if that's what it is she might bring Auntie Bounty I was going to catch a pet and turn her over to the authorities we're getting to the bottom of it interested in the money and a little bit of Revenge but then I realized your Fallen Padawan and I had a lot in common it's true I mean they both do a weird my mind and me and that's exactly what you did to her you and your precious Jedi Order Anakin's realizing something yeah a little bit you could be the reason she turns to the dark side I love this this clone base here oh it's so looking like the Death Star but uh yeah I like it a lot it's very in between clone wars and the Empire this is cool Yoda a little chair you have been charged with sedition against the Jedi Order and the Republic itself you eliminated them one by one I don't think you can prove that I asked the court that the full extent because it didn't happen including penalty of death you want to kill her adventures can come in and testify then just need to go there it's wrong someone came out of nowhere and hit me from behind not just anyone can sneak up behind me it had to be another Jedi I don't believe you believe it you're looking for has my lightsabers that's how you'll know you found the criminal just talk to that's not true no I should talk to them what do you mean you're better one contact to the temple she spoke to someone named Paris that's why we knew to go to the warehouse in the first place if you're lying you're dead such as promises ew oh my gosh why would Ahsoka kill letter with a method that would so obvious murder to her Jedi Jedi is not Ahsoka Tano where is your master he's trying to find the real murderer and maybe he should be looking at you oh my gosh Tarkan Tarkin you're coming from Super town I was told that you spoke with Ahsoka before she was arrested to her we've been friends for a long time I was only trying to help her Ventress thinks someone else is involved and you believe her somehow he is not her somehow we all believe contentious no I don't think it was Ahsoka either all the lightsabers are in there oh get it on camera catch her in 4k oh no should have gotten rid of them I think they suit me yo Paris I called it like three episodes ago that's crazy oh no the Jedi how are they all gonna apologize so it's okay after this talking's just gonna be like my bad you gotta get her in there alive or catch her on camera they're not gonna believe you if you're whoa dual wielding [Music] oh [Music] this is a epic finale [Music] Paris I've been asking for her to come back and be ahsoka's friend for so long you guys know so sad [Music] oh those are some clean windows I didn't even know there was glass there [Music] is why I have so many questions oh my gosh is younglings [Applause] white saber oh it's it's these dudes oh I didn't even notice it's all them oh get them away from the kids oh [Music] you're very angry this is so good pretty Clone Wars oh my gosh oh did you break her spine or something bring her in bring her in the court have reached a decision no you have not bug and it can go right quick overwhelming count oh yes all you have a reason for bursting into our proceedings Master Skywalker yes member of the Jedi orders and traitor oh those are so sad for a circle Man attack on the temple was an attack on what the Jedi have become an army fighting for the dark side falling from the light that we once held so dear this Republic is failing it's only a matter of time they are kind of failing I mean they are they're really failing no way take our way thank you Anakin good detective work good job trusting Ventress soak is still so sad this is just a terrible Arc for her to go through I am so sorry about everything you have almost humble apologies little Soca the household was wrong to accuse you on such great strength and resilience in your struggle to prove your illness that guy sounds like a clone true sign of a Jedi Knight this was actually your great trial oh now we see that we understand that the force works in mysterious ways and because of this trial you have become a greater Jedi than you would have otherwise if you want give her a little beads oh oh big decision and I think she's going to be upgraded to a Jedi Knight now no wow I'm sorry Master but I'm not coming back oh my gosh you guys all pushed your way this is so sad look at them they're all disappointed in themselves oh Anakin this might be another reason for him for him going bad letting the dark side take over there's just so many things wrong that have happened all the music Ahsoka I actually is so sad where all these shots why are you doing this the council didn't trust me so how can I trust myself what about me that's not a reason I believed in you I stood by you you gotta be here for Anakin no where is she what's gonna happen with her the next two seasons and without you no I understand more than you realize I understand wanting to walk away from the order oh yeah because of him and padman all that he he doesn't get their way either someone that taught her all this [Music] ah [Music] got that oh my gosh this is so sad this feels like a finale finale super finale what the heck is it the end for her character in The Clone Wars there's no way created a Wow That's How It Ends not the not the music that's just sad it's just sad oh my gosh that was perfect that was the best episode of Clone Wars or at least the best themes and character work and all that so good so good wow what a great ending to season five wow I'm so glad I don't read these descriptions for the episodes what the heck dude on trial for murder Ahsoka is expelled from the Jedi Order that's like such a big spoiler that's the description of the episode I'm so glad I don't read these and we saw Barris coming but like we really didn't I still didn't know for sure but it's like they finally bringing her back and she's like kind of out of the picture of a lot of this and that is an episode to cry over that is so so heavy for her character through all of this oh wow I'm just sad that like like are we gonna get more stories with her through Clone Wars her and Anakin are my favorite characters and she's just gone where is she going who does she have out there I'm trying to think of who she'd go to and maybe like not onderon well did the other kid stay on Honduran the um I always forget his name Baron I don't no what is his name whatever that kid that she liked but no cause he likes uh wait no oh my gosh someone just happened I don't even know oh in in Mandalorian she knows about bogoton they know each other a lot more maybe for that might happen in Rebels too but maybe her she runs into bogoton sometime and they group up together for a bit I don't know she's just on her own now that's kind of sad how is that gonna affect Anakin going forward not having a Padawan anymore not being around her oh no we're really just gonna have to hop into season six and see where it goes from there but if she has gone from the Clone Wars because I know she's in Rebels of course big part of rebels apparently I'm not sure if she continues on in this she has to that can't be the end of her character but like just that's the end of her working with the Republic and maybe it's for the best I have been saying many many times that uh she has always been thinking about leaving the Jedi Order like you can see in her face when they make some of the decisions they all underground decisions she couldn't interfere in that battle and she really wanted to because they were good people having something terrible to be done to them she couldn't do anything about it because of the Jedi Order now that she's out of it she can do whatever she wants she's free whether that leads her down a darker path or not who knows but um she is free and I also I guess explains why she's not in the movie Revenge of the Sith not the Jedi Temple that makes a lot of sense now why she's not there for all that but I want her to be there I was uh I wanted to see the aftermath though we're gonna get to see those scenes with her I'm pretty sure we gotta but wow don't know what's next for her she is always ending up in trouble in some way and needing to be saved by Annika and Anakin's in trouble all the time needing to be saved by Ahsoka all that's just gone you can't have that anymore she's still gonna be a loud like are they allowed to team up with her still and go on missions together or is it just no she's just out there a vigilante now I don't know anyways um I'm gonna hop into season six right now I'm actually very hyped first for season six so I'm gonna go ahead and start that this has been fantastic anyways subscribe leave a like uh that's it for today I'll see you guys in the next Clone Wars video very very soon that gets me so hyped for The Soca live action show I just love her character so much [Music] [Applause] [Music] | JustGavinBennett |

1nGx6Slsz20 | https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1nGx6Slsz20 | Star Trek: Fenrir - S01E02 - #StarTrekAdventures | [Music] I start off with six momentum personally I like okay so apparently the intro is being weird whatever I'll just that later hi everybody this is the second session of Star Trek Fenrir for the uninitiated Fenrir is a tabletop role-playing game that uses the Star Trek adventures rule set if you want to know what setting we're in we are set in the Star Trek Online era more specifically the year twenty four ten and we are set in the Sabine expanse which is the sort of like little area of space that the old USS OFI unexplored you don't have to have watched affion to enjoy this game though I will say you will catch a few references and even a few subtle character choices if you decide to go back and watch them you can find that on youtube but i all you really need to know is that this crew is set on a Cerberus class and so far has had a really good time just before we get that though I have to do a little bit of Schilling right now as I've said for a while twitch and patreon are sort of my sources of income while I'm searching for a new job which in today's market is fun that means whatever support you can provide be it a follow sub donation bits to patron whatever it's all appreciated just make sure to take care of yourselves first with that out of the way we're just gonna jump right into things and what that means is a opening monologue and that's gonna come up from Captain Archuleta so Captain if you would take it away captain's log stardate 871 13.3 the fender is arms to inner patrol after making our delivery to the slock Starfleet has dispatched an ambassadorial team to handle the ads up and their queen ian i hear only whispers about the progress but nothing concerning for now things seem to be going as well as i can't be establishing official contact with the new species though i don't relish the thought of them using Federation territory for their hunting grounds the surviving USS Icarus crew had managed to transport their vessel ironically back to deep space they Dallas with the help of our engineering team the proverbial mountain of 25 years worth of sensor readings will no doubt shed some light on how that as I've managed to cross the deep space between Andromeda and the Milky Way I know my mentor Marek will be interested in any conclusions from that data set computer remind me to forward the final report to him when it comes in in the interim between our delivery to the slaw I decided to look into ensign Jensen's recent admission to sickbay and subsequent visit by our chief engineer I didn't think I'd be taking disciplinary action so soon into my command but it's better to set an example now and prevent further grab-assing I requested mr. Maddock and commander ass join me a my ready room shortly alrighty so sure enough there's a beep at your ready room door and after you let them in in steps mr. Rast and mr. Maddock mr. Motta thank you for joining us how you doing captain quite well I've been looking over your service history you served on a-- a vigilant class and i'm a crime reacquisition unit under captain panaka to report it directly to me yes yes ma'am I knew your name was familiar the prior to that it looks like you were under an investigation for breaking the temporal prime directive and then you were off the grid for quite some time you would have to refresh me as to which investigation you're talking about ma'am mmm so more than one then whenever you're working with temporal mechanics you tend to be investigated quite a few times everything was approved by the daystrom Institute whenever I got there all right well I've spoken to ensign Jensen and Louisville a rather sparse report from dr. scenery given your repeated history of bending the rules of not just the federation but space-time itself to suit your own impulses wasn't difficult to conclude that foul play was involved in sickbay especially with how very very very talkative the incident is I want you to answer with yes or no here did you exert force on instant Jensen to render him unconscious no ma'am you didn't keep in mind I've talked to dr. signore II as well as the ensign the intent was not to make him unconscious so therefore the answer to your question is still no really he described it as a Vulcan nerve pinch type movement right and the Vulcans whenever they perform it overwhelmed the victims mind with telepathic abilities I'm human I do not have those abilities how can I perform a Vulcan neck pinch well the end result was the same either way it I'm not quite sure how to explain that I mean I'm obviously not a Vulcan you have plenty of medical data showing that maybe he just maybe he just I've worked with a few a lot of ensign Jensen's things tend to become elaborated within their minds I mean I don't really see how you can accuse somebody of using a Vulcan neck pinch to render them unconscious when you're not a Vulcan and the co I didn't I didn't say that I said exert force he said it as a [ __ ] [ __ ] but regulations say the official disciplinary course of action for assaulting a fellow crew mate is a court-martial and hearing to determine sentencing up to and including dishonorable discharge from Starfleet how you managed to avoid that already is keeps me officially mr. Maddock Jensen is a vital member of this crew like any other of any rank unofficially however you have my gratitude for shutting him up it's always the unofficially that keeps people out of trouble isn't it mm-hmm and out here has a tation thing get you killed I need someone decisive someone who acts on their gut rather than pulling out a rulebook especially when it comes to liability within the Fenrir Jensen is going to create issues for us but it helps me sleep at night knowing I have a chief who shot that gun in a crisis by any means necessary I expect you to keep him in line I'll make sure the bulkheads are scrubbed every morning by him commander asked yes sir please requisition a counselor for their friend rear ID Starfleet's convenience and some Jensen will be a spy mandatory hours and therapy as a consequence of wasting senior staffs time so it's a very appropriate action sorry thank you I'm mr. Maddock if you lie to me again I'll have your quarters moved to the airlock is that a threat or a promise ma'am I'll enjoy it hmm you're dismissed your stations yes ma'am and then medic will leave and rest will follow medic out making it a point that Matic goes through the door first understood all right so well cut to the bridge as you all take your stations and sure enough after maybe not even five minutes maduk when you take your seat you're seeing that there is an incoming distress call captain I'm getting a distress call you want me to put up on viewer or just audio on screen all right well okay push the right buttons and it so what appears on screen is Star Trek typical sort of that old VHS style where the video is garbled and you're just barely able to make out the person they seem to be in an exosuit of some sort and the voice is sort of calm but almost strained and the voice says thus this is the volcán expedite expedite airy group on tracks epsilon1 we require immediate assistance atmospheric conditions have proven too hazardous to the expedition to continue one team has already been lost their coordinates are enclosed two members of the expedition including myself remain here at Basecamp torval we request extraction from the nearest Starfleet vessel and then there's a pause and then the message repeats are the coordinates of the lost crew different from where they're at yes yes the they are on a different spot on the planet okay set a course for the coordinates of who sent the message and Williams is gonna straighten up and say captain I'd recommend we go to standing yellow alert until we ascertain the nature of the threat do it and there should now be a handout for whoever wants to read it out got a little bit of feedback there mm-hmm no one see read it I mean I'll do it tracks epsilon1 is registered by long print rough yeah take two it's registered by long-range probes as a class H planet marginally habitable with arid conditions and very little surface water the Vulcan expeditionary group came here to study the planet's atmosphere as they had never encountered a class H atmosphere close so close to its Sun just 0.03 astral units away so sounds a little bit like Vulcan like arid little water isn't that how Vulcans typically maybe they're trying to make calling out here what's a duty does anyone know what a class H planet category designates can any of us role for that I would say that it's common knowledge I'm just trying to find out the official tagline to tell you but while I'm searching for it off the top of my head I'm pretty sure an H is below a class because there's M which is standard quote-unquote earth I have class D is planetoid or moon class H is generally uninhabitable then class J would be a giant it would be a gas giant so it's kind of like bright right there where it's like it could be habitable if done right but I think I think they're the ones that are mostly done with a terraforming mm-hmm class H planet or moon is usually characterized as uninhabitable by humans but sometimes of is sometimes viable for other races such a body a planetary body could contain an atmosphere consisting of oxygen and argon so this is you said this is common knowledge mm-hmm and what I would also say is that for the purposes of an away mission normally you would be required to pay a momentum cost to take environmental suits but because the atmosphere of the planet is hostile to life you are given in an environmental suit for free so you don't have to spend any momentum on it however what I would say and we'll have to try and keep ourselves honest on this is that while you're in an environmental suit all difficulty on control tasks increases by one and if it matters mechanic wise there is a mechanic if you are exposed to the atmosphere like you don't just immediately die but there is a mechanic which you probably want to avoid at all costs you said adds one difficulty to control mhm so a appropriate amount of screen time passes and you arrive in system and I'm gonna put us on this map because it actually shows visually what's going on but I'll describe it audio Lee in a moment so when somebody puts tracks epsilon1 on the screen what you're seeing is almost like a black void in space it is quite literally a almost a hole where the planet is it's not a black hole but it is a black void of sorts and I will allow anyone who wants to to roll me in a reason and science and the ship will assist you with a sensor science the difficulty here is a zero can't really science my answer I'll roll for the ship I'll do the science just because I have okay so reason science mm-hmm and the ship was sensor science this is to generate momentum yep everybody okay with me giving him a threat for an extra dice just to get a little extra momentum I'm fine with that uncle yeah make it show let me see if I can [ __ ] something what did we get boosting power to the sensors so therefore I can use power systems as a focus done all right three six ah hold on with what is it called technical expertise whenever eyes tend to task assisted by ships computers or sensors you can your own read roll a d20 so I'm gonna re-roll that zero because that's how this [ __ ] works I'm a good engineer hacking all right work for momentum missus very nice and Maddock what you learn is a new handout I'm captain I'm seeing changes on track epsilon one it seems that a thick silicate gas has bonded with oxygen the air is now on breathable so we have to wear evey suits these silicate ions that are formed they absorb light waves so that means very little less than I'd say point zero three two zero four percent of the light that is the plane it is actually visible on the planet and so it's probably going to be very very dark the temperature has reduced significantly and if you were able to we were if we were able to find an area where we didn't have any where we would be able to take off for Eva suits we would still have to deal with sub-zero temperatures would so here's my I guess out of character but part of this the light is absorbed by these ions would we be able to use flashlights still on the surface or with those also be uh if you give me a mentum to ask the question I will answer that for you uh we'll find out in person Oh we'll find out when we get there who's in charge of scanners normally it's mr. Matthew black but since he's not here but I can I can play in his in his seat if we really need him to be here I'm looking for LiveScience ah so uh Matthew black kind of lieutenant Matthew black kind of you know dances his fingers across the screen and says captain I'm having a very difficult time cutting through the interference on the planet it seems that the magnetic field of the planet is fluctuating sir it's gonna make cutting through the interference a little bit more difficult I would recommend perhaps either taking transport and answers or heading down in a shuttle if and when we send an away team sir well we solve the coordinates right you do yes so we know where to go we just can't communicate with them and can't tell if there's anything else down there we also probably shouldn't use transporters what were you saying oh sorry yeah is is there anything in orbit no there is nothing in orbit is there a Sun there is a Sun it's actually very close by a point three point zero three au mm-hmm okay interesting is there any sort of residual something that would show if anything from off the planet like an anomaly off the planet or something off the planet is what caused the silicate I would say I'll give this to you free you are not detecting any anomalies on the sensors other than the fact that the planet is quite literally a dark ball in space so nothing nothing in orbit nothing in system nothing that would indicate a reason for why the planet has changed like this and what I'm gonna do here is commander Rast I would like you to roll me a insight and command please the difficulty here will be a three and you will have a focus but I'm not gonna tell you what this is for unless you succeed okay insight and command mm-hmm and since it is a difficulty three you may wish to spend momentum what do you guys think spend one word I will spend one okay all right so with one success I'm gonna let this succeed it cost because I think it's important so it's almost if commander wrath I mean you you've gotten used to the the the the level of minds on a starship ship like you are used to the number of minds that your telepathic or empathic abilities touch on a day-to-day basis this is different you're feeling a almost like a low level pressure in the back of your mind that would seem to indicate that there is a presence here but what that presence is or how to interact with that presence you're not sure so in the words of Deanna Troi I sense something captain presence on the ship or on the planet on the planet okay I do sense something odd on the planet itself I can't quite put a finger on it what can you give me any more detail commander there is an alien mind that I cannot quite read or feel correctly does it seem like it's the Vulcans we're here for no is it hostile cannot I cannot tell that's no real no real true connection the only thing I can describe it as is when you know you're being watched hmm are we being scanned at all that would be a negative there are no signs that the planet has even registered your existence okay do you think commander that if you were to go to the surface that it would be overwhelming no quite opposite captain I I believe that if I can get closer I might be able to I might be able to eliminate some of the interference all right well I think we've discerned everything we possibly can unless anyone else has any ideas um learn anything unless we go down there well something we could probably check for real quick is uh with us being close to the wormhole to the Andromeda galaxy and also having just recently interacted with an a silicon-based life-form life from the Andromeda galaxy is there probable reason for us to suspect that this could be their form of terraforming for lack of better suggestions they just didn't know about the Vulcans on the planet the atmosphere on their ship supported us just fine without any sort of environmental changes they send the Queen seem to be unencumbered by any sort of enhancements I do recall that she did seem to feel that transporting carbon-based life-forms was difficult for them and so it seems like we might be experiencing that kind of / again so I don't think there's anything else we can check I would recommend to your point to take a shuttle to the surface but because of the interference and the potential of emergency I think we should all take pattern enhancers as well does Matic recognize anything about this from his time in Andromeda no you are not nothing is really catching your attention that would indicate that this is something you've seen before and I'd suggest commanders captain that if at all possible we perhaps place a comm beacon in orbit to attempt to boost our ability to communicate with the ship once we hit planet good idea yeah and you know precaution here I think we should take which is a great segue into I think that commander rats will be leaving the away team okay so Rast is definitely going any other volunteers I'll go yes I need to repair Eevee suit sir there's a technology or something that needs to be fixed I'd like to go as well captain the safety of the senior staff is my responsibility that sounds good and would I would like for us to take a medical officer yeah my medical officer ll is going use a dena me one I loved so the for after mention Rast Matic Williams allow you all pile into your Hades class runabout and begin heading down to the planet now my question is which among you is actually doing the piloting if I if I recall correctly we're all fairy lands and piloting yeah we're all pretty good uh can Maddox set up autopilot Oh what's the skills for piloting for this particular task it would be a control and a con assisted by the shuttles engines and con I'll take it okay the difficulty here is a baseline of two however since you've given me threat I'm gonna spend a little bit to make it a difficulty three and the reason for that is the moment you hit the planet's atmosphere the viewscreen turns to jet blackness like even your running lights are having a difficulty just penetrating this darkness awesome encouraging as we hit the atmosphere that's when a tramatic will release like the the comm booster probe yeah the combo II and would we say helm operation for focus most definitely and we do have some thingy things so I'm gonna spend one I'm just gonna take this opportunity for Williams to make a snide comment to rest well commander from what I could read of your service jacket you know the bits that weren't blacked out I hope some of the stuff that was blacked out was piloting I hope ship always has a focus right yep oh dear Oh so here's what happens you are you know how on a plane and you know you're just going along and then suddenly you hit like a bunch of turbulence and like you feel your stomach kind of fall mmm it's sort of that same thing here where for a brief terrifying moment the shuttle dips rapidly into the atmosphere and you're almost in momentary freefall and the process actually goes on longer than a moment it stretches on and on and you start to wonder oh god did we lose engines did wrasse just literally nosedive us into the planet you're starting to worry and what I'm gonna do is I'm actually going to spend a lot of threat to do this but I'm gonna spend the threat it's gonna strand us is you actually because you have failed this role what happens is the shuttle actually does crash there is a sudden both momentous force that buckles all of you from your stations your seats etc and the shuttle has crash-landed on to the planet our way to spend determination to pull it out at the last moment ah if you give me the to momentum you have I will lessen the impact of the crash can I get an extermination - no because you are a supporting character you may not and I try to determine what how rests screwed up and try to correct it um I would say this would be very difficult to do in the moment but yes it is possible I mean we could try such a good I've also got an idea that I mean it's either either either work well you can't go wrong either way I mean we could could go very wrong but mm-hmm or you've met if you want to take this one I'm I'm happy to let you have that responsibility alright so Matic let's have you attempt a daring engineering the difficulty here will be a 5 and if you succeed you will not crash into the planet you will land gracefully gracefully quote unquote let you take this one single run about this is your setting this is our single ladies class right about now should work uh I get so sorry for two I get a free three I get a free D 20 because of I know my ship mm-hmm so then I need you to I'll give you five threat for the five dice five fad for the five dice excellent that gives me captain you were working on your angry face so you make it to use it leaves on the wind watch you know I think we're rocks in a lake power systems I'll give you power systems the goat just a small retcon so you are still going into a nose drive but Matic you realize after a few like quick dances of fingers across the console this isn't rafts fault actually the silicate nature of the atmosphere is actually sapping power from your engines so right at the last moment what you do is you reroute that power and sort of buff the impulse engines so that rasp right is that last moment right before you would hit you pull up and instead of you know like crashing nose first you sort of skim skip a few times and then land a lot more gracefully than you would have otherwise ah quick question you knowing this now about the silicate draining power do I have to do we have to worry about it draining power from our Eevee suits potentially can I roll for that I would say if you give me one momentum to ask the question I will answer and we didn't wreck the runabout yeah it's working out by the way what if I give you two thread instead of one momentum I'll take the two threat the answer is yes a prolonged exposure to the atmosphere will play havoc with your power systems ranging from your Eevee suits to your tricorders to your flashlights can we estimate how long the Vulcans have been in their evie suits that you would need to find a Vulcan to ascertain that can we as is there a way is there a way for us to assume how long someone could be in an Eevee soup before it's too late that is an excellent question for our doctor so close question yeah so lieutenant oh well if you would like to roll me a reason medicine at a difficulty of one I will give you an answer one day 22 D 20 okay and I have prosthetics and cybernetics then unfortunately no man forensic science I'll give it to you okay one success is all you need you think that best case the operational time is approximately 16 hours so she surprised to interject if anyone's having a conversation and she says so according to my tricorder we have about 16 hours of power and our Eva suits if we leave the shuttle Jim can I maybe do an estimate as to how long I think a say phaser Power Cell will last maybe an engineering question I would say you can either give me a momentum or you can attempt to roll I'll attempt to roll okay roll me a reason security also to difficulty of one does my focus in hand phasers it must apply wood oh so a success with the complication I'm gonna take threat instead of the complication okay so what you are no Williams is that each of you and I'm gonna let you guys track this on your own so just keep yourselves honest each of your phasers has three shots all right so I'll just let everybody know so you're gonna get two maybe three shots out of these things before they kick anybody bring a knife Rast just nods always that's so bad all my men kit well I believe it's an earth sing any landing you can walk away from you know that drop reminded me a little bit of the jovian run it was interesting while they were talking Mac's been going over data what are the chances of us flying this sumbitch out I would say probably 5050 but you're definitely gonna need to scavenge some parts from the outpost here if you want to get this thing into the air again better you have to call the ship and then you have to do with an angry captain but my magic to Ford in rare I'll do a little medic to Fenrir and can I hear him uh you can but it's almost like he's through a bad telephone so his voice is very distant and it's very garbled but you are able to hear him just barely yeah I read you commander we have landed on the surface we are about to get into our suits and try to find the Vulcans we may need to salvage some equipment to get back out but everything's okay captain so who crashed my runabout autopilot and that I'll just end the communication all right I think I think if we could just get this thing back up to the ship it'll it'll be fine it'll be fine everything's fine all right so we will cut just a little bit ahead - after all of you getting into your suits opening the door etc etc and indeed when you open that door and you step out into the alien wilderness it is pitch dark like even your flashlights are only getting about one to two meters out before they just sort of you know vanished so if you like stray more than 2 meters away from someone like you can't even see them even with their flashlights that's how dark it is so before ll speaks up before we like you know walk out on this we need to play some kind of beacon or something on the runabout so we can find it again I agree and I think we should tether to each other at 2 meter at 1 meter count at 2 meter counts and stay within view we may want to do a stress test of how distantly we can be away from each other and still have communications mm-hmm well we were able to reach out to the ship something I could do is I could adjust all of our combadges to emit like a homing beeping sound a very audible one and we could be able to identify everybody by audio in case all in case you know the flashlight decides to go out now you know we'd be able to have audio we could basically just follow what bats do use a modified form of sonar vision Manek I'm not gonna pretend to understand what you just said but echolocation yeah think like the sounds are a good idea earth species what are they called that's dolphins I think that's owner it's the same thing right out of character I think to this they're close enough okay well she's like so biology xenobiology so interested anyway I kind of get what you're saying so how would we do this how do we set this up as you know that whenever you activate it you do hear the audible clicking sound I could just adjust that audible clicking sounds to a higher level of volume and then also it kind of activates and deactivates activates and deactivates kind of system ma'am it shouldn't take more than a couple minutes to do is there a way for you to use that same principle to help us map this region it would be possible however it would have to be a small handheld device that would be able to map what's directly in front of us it would probably be easier if we could somehow use the ship's sensors to perform a similar thing process we could probably use the not just ruptor what's the deflector array use the deflector array to try to do a massive echolocation burst it may even send a signal to the ship to show where we are in case we miss check-ins on they could have an idea of where to start and they would also have a very basic map regional layout I mean since presses in charge Williams eternal is a commander I believe if we can find a way to use the deflect our way to potentially do a bio-neural transponder for each of us would be be a good way to take care of being able to find each other well so should we do this on the shuttle real fast yeah I agree let's do it in the protection of the shuttle that way we don't use up our suits at all all right mom is is the deflector dish or is the deflector array on the shuttle damaged luckily I'm gonna say it it is not however I will say that doing such a pulse will drain some of your shuttles power thank you so in order to do this I would like Matic I'd like you to do a daring engineering let's call this a difficulty 3 after a little bit of threat and then while he's doing that I would like either Commander Rast or commander Williams since you guys have your good con scores I like you guys to roll me a reason con and you can assist each other on this so whoever wants to do the main role etc this is also going to be at a difficulty of 3 um prototype engineering or quantum mechanics I'll give you prototype GM if I did the main role with my survival focus coming to play here it most definitely would I know sister Williams ok ok so John is a reminder to assist you just roll the one d20 ok and Williams roll the two t20 ok so two successes from well sorry ain't same roll just one d20 correct ok y'all mind if I spend a momentum to get an extra dice for my row go for it nothing so unfortunately no help there so we'll deal with that in a moment let's see what maddox rule is unless I don't know operation help helm operation would have applied but you rolled the 19 unfortunately okay all right so let's do with Matic then we'll do with the contacts o matic you are able to set up this echolocation this burst and because you've succeeded and I'm actually going to let the helm check that Williams and Rast we're dealing succeed so all three of you working together you're able to determine two things the first is that by the grace of whatever higher power there is you've actually landed fairly close to the outpost itself you didn't obviously land on the outposts landing pad but you're close enough that you think you can make it there without getting totally lost the second thing that you are able to collectively find is that the coordinates - like the where the team was lost if you remember the distress call there was coordinates for the other team that is in the completely opposite direction of you about two kilometres from your current landing spot would we be able to go to the outpost and then back to the away team that's missing or would that not be enough time are there's plenty of time to do that well assuming you don't get lost the GM snicker intensifies I mean even better idea well let's go check out the missing away team and we'll meet back up with rest and Williams let's party sweating I was I was actually mad could beat me to it I was just gonna suggest that Williams and ll go search for the missing away team and you guys go to the fo so it's fine but let's split up do more damage that way but she grabs her [ __ ] the via 80 their away team is probably in dire dire conditions at this point [Music] Maddox however you should probably come with me to the to the outpost because we need to gather parts for the shuttle and you're more qualified to do that thank you Andrew is there a way that using this echolocation burst I can adjust it to be sort of like a homing beacon sort of thing so we're using tricorders are using con badges were able to some what's know how to get back yeah I would say that part of this check was that so yeah you could definitely do the matter and likewise would be would be be able to if our combat just don't have the range in this Meier whatever it is mm-hmm would we be able to use the runabout as you know but the same principle that we're using the the combi can to communicate with the ship can we use the runabout to communicate over short distances by piggybacking off its kind of a communication to write a repeater yeah I would say yes you could definitely do that and I'll give that armory maduk will also open up one of the engine will open up the transporter and he'll hand allow on Williams transport enhancers pattern buffers nice and just be like in case you find the team and you need an immediate beam back hopefully these will be able to help I would suggest wasting as little time as possible whenever you do utilize these I sounds good also Jim before we leave I can't quite remember the rule its I either had to give you momentum or threat but I want to take a phaser rifle a phaser rifle I believe that is an escalation escalation one yes it is a actually no it is installation to an escalation to so it would be one momentum and two threat yeah okay and what I would say is that the phaser rifle has five shots okay all right hey so interestingly or what I would say before I do that is that because he paid that cost all of you could take phaser type threes if you so wished yeah gimme you're welcome yeah okay might as well all right so let them know they've got the five shot okay maximum so interestingly you guys have split the party so I'm gonna have to juggle the maps here so let's deal with Commander Rast and mattock first and we'll bounce back and forth between the parties so mattock and Rast you guys are I don't want to say stumbling through the darkness but you are proceeding in such a way that there's times when you're not sure if your feet are gonna touch anything solid it's just that dark out there and eventually oh go ahead mattock is using the rear end of the rifle that sort of a walking stick okay he's trying his best to not you know oh hey 50 foot cliff okay well the good news is that you don't run into any 50 foot clip cliffs in fact eventually your butt of the phaser rifle clangs on metal and I can finally put at least two of you on this map and in fact if you were to take the flashlights mattered on your wrist or on your helmet and you look down you do see that there is some form of a metal walkway that has been inlaid into the ground commander I think we have found the UH the UH post for sure Ross is going to reach out with his mind okay I would like you to do a ctrl and a command now difficulty is going to depend on the answer to this question what are you trying to sense exactly he's trying to sense direction of any sort of intelligent mind okay I will make this a difficulty of three since apparently Maddie can do Vulcan neck pinch is is it possible for into assists unfortunately no sorry let's go ahead and use one of the one of the things one of the momentum Momentum's that's it I'll get the name of it I got no more teamwork I got it I found it and focus wise yeah no I don't think I have a focus okay two successes so what I would say here is that you remember that pressure that I said that you felt in the back of your mind mm-hmm it has amplified I don't want to say tenfold but maybe fivefold so it's definitely ramped up but again you're still not able to determine what this pressure is only that it is an alien presence just turn to Mattox well the alien presence that I felt upon the ship is closer here so be on your guard does it feel hostile to you I cannot feel any intention mm-hmm I do not know if maybe maybe it is not even aware of us hard to assign it a feeling if it doesn't know we're here and I'm assuming these well assumption being what it is these black lines are they sort of like guide rails sort of wire yeah so you could conceivably follow the guide wires to what you're hoping is the outpost proper okay and but I would say is you want to proceed to the south using uh basically okay hey this is kind of where we're at is there a way to kind of guesstimate where the pad impossible like additional shuttle parts are or um I would say you are able to at least tell that you are on the right track in the right direction but it would require a reason and a con to ascertain specific directions and the difficulty on that would be a to will just wander around okay sure so you all proceed through the darkness following the path following the guidelines and again just the omnipresent darkness is enough that it's it's hard to see anything oh well and Rast almost and I guess mattock and Rask you both notice almost at the same time on the very edge of the light that is abled that you're able to see with your flashlights there are two forms on the ground humanoid they appear to be what might be Vulcans and evie suits but they are on the ground and it does not appear that their suits are powered are they moving at all they are not moving maduk will hold up the phaser rifle walk over to it and kind of like okay okay so when you poke it you actually roll it over and what you see is that the faceplate of the evie suit has been shattered and the Vulcan the dead Vulcan on the other side there is almost like the green blood that streams from their eyes and their mouth so it was probably not a very fun depth for this Vulcan implying the best to be fun but not a fun death fun as uh is there a way to identify the body I was about to ask the same thing like dog tags that type of uh I would say that for free yes you are able to recover the quote unquote dog tags of a gentleman named menos M en oh s and you would know that menos was the one who sent the original distress call okay was he the one that was in charge or uh he was was one of the leaders yes thank medic we'll walk over to the other dead Vulcan and grab his tags as well okay the name of this Vulcan is Valar is that name important or just giving you a name maduk - commander Williams and Fenrir Williams here we have found our commander Rast and I are at the outpost we have found and identified - vogue vogue - deceased Vulcans one of them being menos the one that sent a distress call and that one of the technicians Villar we have their identification what how should we proceed with um do their stair face place they looked like they were damaged broken like in a fight or something did it or like depressurization kind of thing I would say that a significant amount of force was applied to the face blades there's reason to believe that there may be something hostile here as it appears the face plates were broken with a high power of force I suggest be on your toes other awaiting always you too and remember you got five shots on the rifle three on the hand phaser make him count proceed with caution no way team captain did you happen to pick up the location bursts that we performed on the shuttle location and I'm gonna spend to threat Fenrir is cut off captain I think you have them on you this time [Laughter] all right so you guys proceed up stairs almost stumbling up the stairs and you eventually see an actual wall in front of you of a prefab unit and what you would notice immediately is that the walls have been torn up with breaches and tears all along the alloy plating and there's a door is set into the wall in front of you however the door is not opening in fact just looking around what you can see that it appears to me that there is zero power not even emergency power anywhere within the outpost because there should be at least some sort of running lights or some you know base level system that should be running nothing the entire thing is dead do we happen to have those or does this door is this door one of those that like you take the panel off you pull the little lever and yeah I mean you could manually get it open no problem okay if our tricorders still work I'm going to suggest to Commander s that we should scan the gouges and other signs of something trying to get into this place and see if we can't identify something lately so while you two are getting into the outpost we're gonna cut to the other part of the away team so we'll go back to the theater of the mind for this one so Williams and ll you all are proceeding through the darkness in the opposite direction and I have a question for the two of you are either of you afraid of the dark I think on some level maybe everybody's afraid of they're not overtly you know that means yes I was just waiting for some love spending threat - Matt yes John read my mind yeah I'm afraid of the dark in that case I'm going to spend - threat and both of you begin fury feeling extremely anxious the darkness seems overwhelming in fact this is probably one of your worst nightmares where you're starting to maybe even hallucinate or see things that aren't there or at least you hope that aren't there that's this really weird feeling of dread commander yeah you know me too what some it will pick up our pace a little bit hey how was your run the Academy marathon I know I did not know much of it I'm not really into running okay well you're about to get an education at a double-time it Oh lead the way are we covered together you are and in fact I'm gonna require a fitness and con from each of you at difficulty of - okay and if either of you fails at this fitness con that tether is getting broken yeah okay fitness and con mm-hmm difficulty too all right all L does fine very nice do sell of course it's Williams that does obviously so Williams you get a little overzealous and you uh you start the sprint forward but you do so so rapidly that what happens is the tether snaps allow catches herself but Williams you end up falling on to your face and I'm actually gonna roll some challenge dice here you take three stress damage now because you are in an environmental suit you only take two damage because the environmental suits have a resistance of one gotcha I ll runs over kneels down commander are you okay Skansen not not her just my pride all right stands up and like holds her hand out I may have lashed the shuttle but I didn't crash myself go big or go home yet mmm yeah I'll take her hand and lift myself to my feet it's just kind of dust off the front of my evey students in all right so why did you slow down yeah maybe slow and steady body let's go right now I'm scared please hi lieutenant let's go yeah reduce the speed back so you could never like have what's the rules for speed walking you can't have two feet off the ground at the same time there's something ridiculous yeah yeah alright so it it takes you I mean obviously because now you you are literally having to hold hands it takes you quite a bit to get where you're going but when you get there you come across a large crater you're not really able to determine how far across this crater is only that there seems to be some form of a crashed ship here you would have to get closer and scan it to be sure but this ship is probably about the size of a defiant class or a nova class so it's a it's a fairly large ship Oh yeah and it's in a crater it isn't a crater and this crater is between us and where we need to be no this crater is where you are trying to be oh crap okay yeah then I'm just gonna so this this is where the the missing away team is mm-hmm okay well not bad would your luck have to be if you were out doing surveying and a ship crashed on you oh I mean about equally as bad as if you were in that ship and it crashed yep probably hit the communicator on the on the Evie suit and say Williams to rest do we hear him you do continue commander we've located the probable location the second away team we're beginning our search now what's your status we have reached the outpost and we are going to be trying to go in shortly also looking for any sort of parts be aware that we believe that there may be something hostile understood we'll keep our eyes peeled Williams out and I'll just look at ll oh yeah so actually why I have from that conversation like the darkness is kind of getting to her you know she was like speed walk a little bit trying to look stupid so that it was more funny and less scary but now that you've been standing there looking at a deep dark crater her mind is kind of like caving in on itself a little and she thinks she sees something out of the corner of her eye just likes to walk away don't even have to spend threat to do it I love it all right am i at all like distracted with my conversation I guess and it's like you are well heck that's great so I guess by the time I turn back then she's gone mm-hmm and I'll just that will be around the time we say you know Williams at Nelson well lieutenant I guess we better okay all right and I'm actually going to spend further threat because I have so much of it both of you at the same time maybe Williams as you're trying to find the lieutenant and the lieutenant as you are walking away you each should come across a different body like it's not the same body it's a different body but you also come across two deceased Vulcans and like the ones that mattock and Rast found their face plates have been shattered so for like half a second ll is still trapped in like the catatonic fear of the dark but after that you know going through the Academy her medical expertise and instincts kick in and she scans the dead bulk and in front of her very nice I would like you to roll me a insight and medicine please at a difficulty of two xenobiology or Z no immunology I'll give it to you in forensic science - I would definitely give you forensic science okay - successes which is what you need very nice so you confirm four things the first they are dead the second they died of a fixation not wounds and not blunt force trauma three their suit is breached in several key areas that exposes power points cabling and batteries the fourth is that you're pretty sure that something else is at play here there's something something with their neurological pattern would seem to indicate that something tried to mess with their mind so they're dead of it asphyxiation they have been their suits have been puncturing at our points with you and batteries and something else is fishy mm-hmm okay so she's gonna tap whatever calm area is on these these I see it's probably not a combat but um and then she's gonna realize she's not like actually around anyone and she's gonna just happen say commander lieutenant where are you I've got it I've got a dead Vulcan here I've got that mole that makes two I guess I walked off I thought I saw something bias but I found a dead walk in here and they looks like according to my tricorder they died of asphyxiation also it looks like their suits been punctured and several key areas that powered the suit something's weird and it's gonna get weirder because I'm going to spend threat and we'll do it on this map because we don't really need to see at least distances here so what happens is at the same time so for both the wave teams you're mid-sentence and Rast and mattock you guys are just getting the doors to the prefab open when you hear a clattering sound behind you and the shambling forms of the Vulcans are bidding in to rise up and allel yeah oh well the Vulcan that was you were scanning literally jumps up at you same thing with rest you just hear mattock go uh it's saya mega again and then just shoulders rifle okay all right so that was the name of those stationed right yeah it was a scientist I outpost yeah good good memory there I guess is like is communicating I guess for lack of a better term like a free action communicating is a free action as long as you are not like quoting the entire works of she here at me I'm just gonna say Williams to away team I've got contact as do we welcome to the party so because this is a surprise attack I'm gonna let the Vulcans go first now the good news since this is our sort of first combat for the newbies the way this generally works is we pass back and forth between enemy and player or enemy and Ally and there is an a set initiative order or at least not the way I do it the way it works is you all can choose who goes next and as long as everybody gets a turn in the round then you're good but for first purposes I'm going to say the Vulcan that allel was scanning is going to act first and that means allow I'm going to need you to roll me a daring and security please now the difficulty on this is a1 and this is an opposed role meaning that your successes are gonna be compared to the Vulcan successes I know whoever ties or whoever wins that tie is going to be the successful melee combatant very nice three successes the Vulcan has only rolled two so you actually even get a momentum off of that so I'm gonna let you flavor how you do this allow but you are able to maybe punch the Vulcan maybe sidestep out of the way but you are able actually not only to dodge out of the attack but also deliver one of your own okay so use your cutting wit she doesn't have cutting what she's gonna like you're gonna hear a scream in the comm and she's gonna say commander there's a this Vulcans not dead anymore and she's gonna pull out her phaser because she doesn't have time to grab her entire rifle and just gonna basically roll out of the way and then fire okay yeah I'll give it to you if you give me one momentum because otherwise it would just be a melee attack oh okay so she's just stir your legs or if you want a head but well just we'll have her try and kick the legs as she rolls yeah boss and head plan just yeah just head that's your job I mean we saw how well I ran from point A to point B I'm not gonna I'm not gonna risk actually trying to get into fisticuffs mm-hmm all right so let's headbutt them in a break our masks yeah break your masks oh well I need you to roll me three challenge dice now there should be a challenge dice macro if you haven't found that that I've found that yet I can walk you through finding it where is it so if you go to the collection tab on the right hand side of your screen it looks like a bulleted list okay under macros right there at the top there should be challenge dice yeah you want to put that in bar and then show macro quick bar and then there should be a button that appears on the map side of your screen B under the character portraits there hey you found it excellent so with three dice what happens is you sweep the leg and sure enough you knock the Vulcan to the ground thanks and now it is the players turn so again any four of you can or any of the four of you can act it does not have to be a specific person or it there is no specific orders what I meant to say might as well get it over with all right so what are you doing mr. Williams I am going to shoulder my rifle and fire okay so that's gonna be a control and a security for you remember because you are in an Eevee suit control tasks are increased by one so instead of a difficulty of two this is a difficulty of three and you are at two momentum at the moment I am gonna spend a point in momentum here - okay so control early and my my hand phaser focus fly I've imagined most definitely unfortunately unless you want termination that um you know what yeah yeah let's let's use some determination the value that I'm gonna use is flare is the difference between artistry and mere competence okay and I'm gonna do a a Captain Kirk role and I'm gonna come up with the rifle and and blasted so I'll get the extra successes on that one all right I'll give it to you go ahead and roll me what is it nine challenge dice yeah and is that basically translate to one more momentum ah yes it does so you're back up to two total all right so with nine total damage what happens is you do that sort of Kirk role and you shoulder the blood of the rifle and you fire and you hit the the Vulcan center-mass and he goes down hard like he almost like he was coming up towards you like a zombie might and then he just stumbles for it and falls flat on his face so for all intents and purposes this Vulcan is dead again question mark see if the stun setting can you know disrupt whatever is happening neurologically but fine I'll take it mm-hmm all right so at this point it passes back to the Vulcans mr. Raths how would you feel about a Vulcan trying to get at your head sorry I'm Jim can I just ask a quick question be sure we I've got a talent here quick to action that lets us retain the retain the retain the initiative yeah they should have for free yes so in that case actually instead of the Vulcan going one of you all can act in his stead I guess I'll go I'm better than me the medic will charge the pulse rifle okay and he will also set it to kill so just so you know killed Oh No I know I know and I give you enough for as it is [ __ ] it alright and what are you doing with the charge are you giving you this you're giving it piercing are you giving it area so it hit both of them let me do piercing piercing oak on the and I'll shoot the the closest one that'll be mr. blue dot great so that would be a control security difficulty of three spin demo mince them for an extra dice okay fazer based weaponry mm-hmm the unless you want to determine a termination that unfortunately yeah you two are going to and miss initially yeah I'll use the value no stranger to violence okay and then that should give us back one momentum mm-hmm now technically you're supposed to do the the determination for the two free successes prior to the role but I'm gonna let you let it slide for the time being so for future going on if you want the two free - free successes you got it all right so so otherwise it's just three roles right it's just three roles yeah and let's do that moving forward because okay I did not say that and did not catch it so moving forward that's that's a I should have known so yeah I'm at it go ahead and roll me 9 challenges of your own or no you are Oh - 8 7 successes is enough that with a blast of energy you have the option of either disintegrating half the Vulcan or all of the Vulcan which would you prefer all of it all of it so mr. blue dot is otherwise Thanos as your phaser rifle eviscerates and just disintegrates him utterly at least indeed by by using charge and setting it to kill does that affect the number of shots that no have with my rifle yes it does in fact you have used up two of your five shots gotcha and now it is the Vulcans turn and we're gonna actually have mr. red dot the friend of mr. blue dot who just got you know disintegrated he was two days away from retirement of course he was so uh mr. Rast how would you feel about a Vulcan corpse coming at you and you know otherwise he's definitely assuming a marshal combat stance to defend himself against it alright you are gonna roll a daring security at a difficulty of one and it is opposed against the Vulcan you are going to need at least three successes here two not be hit by the smokin so daring and what daring and security okay momentum and we're gonna spend one momentum okay here let me get rid of this one that for some reason is sitting on me there and then a hand hand focus mm-hmm unfortunately only two successes are you gonna determination that are you gonna let it stand ah you know everybody's in determination let's do it alright what value are you tapping we're doing doesn't believe in a no-win cenar I'll let it happen so you can reroll those two zeros alright how do I roll ah you just go through and just reroll it again unfortunately isn't it like reroll button unfortunately okay and just say two dice mm-hmm just roll two dice this time very nice so you guess you momentum from that and yeah you are able now let me ask this would you be defending yourself with your fists or with your knife with basically he's doing straight hand-to-hand combat so it's a hands and feet okay type scenario right now then you are gonna roll me five challenge dice for enough so you uh you perhaps I'll let you flavor it once I describe what happens but you are able to hit him but it's not hard enough for him to go down alright so as the red dot is running towards Rast he does a roundhouse kick to its face and it like stutters to the side and continues coming forward very nice alright up next is either Rast again or al l will go ll okay is it my action it is your action okay so did she knock a Vulcan on their feet yes they are currently on their ass so it's as a little aside like she's like I'd like to have her keep her medical tricorder going okay as this reanimation is happening mm-hmm which may give her a disadvantage I assume but she is going to reach for her phaser okay as they're on their ass and fire alright so this is going to be a control and a security and what I would say is that keeping your medical tricorder open will take your minor cuz otherwise with the minor action you could have charged your phaser but because you're keeping the tricorder out that's your minor so this is gonna be a control security and the difficulty here is a three okay I have a forensic science focus I don't know can I not do that okay so nothing been yeah fortunately now she doesn't have any value what about like the xenobiology it's busy no viral adji okay technically it's even more more specific yeah I mean the basis of most zombies species that are known as of right now are viral based hmm what's the do a fishing I'll let you have it why not you're already rolling a very small pool I'll let it happen three success is very nice also you fire your phaser at this thing and I'd like you to roll me I believe it is five challenge dies for so you uh phaser him on the ground and he takes the hit with a soundless sort of motion as he sort of buckles backwards but he's still moving unfortunately okay and at this point Williams I have a question for you yeah are you still looking at mr. orange I feel like immediately after downing him I would have turned I guess in the direction where I think ll is to to go and help her cuz I know she's in trouble too so all right so you hear the phaser fire from Al L and you start to maybe move in that direction but then you feel at the you know almost sense at the very last moment that mr. orange has risen again and is coming at you with a sort of Kurt two-fisted punch the axe handle wise so I would say Williams you need to roll me three successes on a daring security here all right how is it that all three of your melee roles have had at least one crit I I don't know it's done I'm gonna spend the momentum to get next to die okay have any focuses two successes so what happens is the Vulcan is going to hit you however the strength of a blow isn't enough to even damage your suit so you effectively take a zero damage as the Vulcan just kind of goes in but that is everyone's turn except mr. rest so commander ass what would you like to do for your turn rest is going to do a forward thrust kick into this into this man and see if I can toss them away back very good so you're gonna be rolling a daring security and the number of successes you get will be compared to the Vulcans the good news is that you only need to roll three successes here man I have your right Matic I'm looking at the rolls I have rolled a crit every single time for the Vulcans and it's been like oh it's been like two threes and a one or so much things are really strong okay okay so here's what happens Rast as the as you go for this kick the Vulcan seems to almost anticipate your movement and not only does so in such a way that he kind of catches you midair and slams you to the ground but I'm going to spend some threat to reroll some of that damage so what is that let's go for broke here okay so that as he slams you to the ground you take three stress damage and in the process your face plate cracks doesn't break it cracks all right and is there it's that - one from the EBC I included that yeah okay so that is the first round of combat we now move to the second round because a player just went it's the Vulcans turn and I'm going to say that I feel like picking on al L so well the purple dotted Vulcan is going to come at you again with a sort of zombie like shambling so let's see what he's rolling all right I've only rolled one successes okay is it like grits is it like 21 days later zombie or is it like days definitely not 20 what is it 21 weeks 22 28 28 plus minus a week yeah CLL you're doing a daring security I'll need to see the unsuccessful just the one I believe is it again daring security you should have believed you can fly when you were flying them one success is all you need so if you would like you can perform a counter-attack slam chokeslam alright you're gonna roll me three challenge dice please wait I didn't say what I wanted you know well we'll flavor based on how much damage you roll fine that's I like how that is because that I don't over eat in three three three go you have done one point of damage to this thing so flavor as you wish um front kick front kick I mean she already did damage to it previously with her phaser right yeah so actually because you've rolled two effects I'm gonna add on to that so you give it a good like front kick and you knock it down again this is like a comedy of errors it gets up you hit it it gets knocked down it gets back up again you know - pathetic plays any twenty can I contact my counterpart at any point you can as a free action beep commander hello where are you I've got a zombie here yeah mines backup set set your phasers to maximum and it is now the players turn again so any of you four can act manic we'll go okay you will run up and how easily accepts accessible is a rest blade I don't know rest how accessible it's it's it's either side I'd say it's fairly accessible Maddock will run up pull the blade from wrasses pocket and go for the volcans neck try to go for the Vulcan okay so this will be a daring security I am taking threat because it's a lethal attack and it will be opposed by the Vulcan you need to roll at least two successes here let me spend a momentum if y'all don't one oh we're not really doing see what I can pull [ __ ] nope our system is not going to fly here temporal mechanics and take us back in time to before we landed on this l no I got nothing actually all right [ __ ] it so what happens is Matic you go in with the knife and as the the Vulcan actually in a comedy of errors slams you to the ground as well I'm gonna spend threat to re-roll what is that one died okay so this is this is important because this is enough he slams you to the ground and your face plate cracks too but yours is more egregious in fact if nothing is done in two rounds your face plate will of its own volition explode outwards there's no like safety shield or anything with these things not on an easy suit how is mattock in the Vulcan kind of setup um I would say that Rast is on one side of the Vulcan you were on the other you were also knocked down and I forgot you also take for damage you were lucky because it was one damage less than it would have taken to injure you okay but yeah maduk that is your turn and I'm gonna ramp up the threat here by making red dot the one who just chokeslammed you I'm gonna have him go again and he's gonna see you on the ground Matic and he's gonna lean down and start pummeling at your face plate oh boy oh boy a little ground a pound mm-hmm so mattock I need to see two successes on a daring security otherwise you are getting punched just use it all that was all yeah that's the rest of it mm-hmm okay ah [ __ ] G I'm still sitting on seven million thread yeah that's one moment son I'll give you five threats to have five dice okay because it's not you the barracks just show it's not you that's gonna pay that price it's al L so God Matic go ahead and roll your melee damage which is five Chao dice but there is a consecration am I still able to use the knife yes okay so it is vicious one which means every effect you roll counts double yeah and that's still the five still the five ten challenge dice uh yeah not only do you cause an injury but you've also gotten rid of all of his stress so you triple kill this thing how would you like to describe it whenever he slams back to the ground gets on top mad whenever he goes to punch Matic Rast rassled look over and see vadik has the smart has somewhat of a smile on his face whenever the Vulcan goes to punch a medics face he'll kind of wrap his legs around the Vulcans waist turn-turn so where the punch hits the ground next to him and then you'll see the dagger kind of go into the side of his neck and then you just pure grunting asthmatic kind of the heads the Vulcan okay which is extra impressive cuz he's in a navy suit but yeah with that knife you just go head comes off green blood sprays everywhere however matic with that complication your face plate shatters which means you are going to take in immediate three stress damage as you begin to suffocate and freeze to death and since it is now the zombies turn the Vulcan zombies turn oh well I was not kidding when I said you were gonna be the one to pay for this because from the darkness behind you it's like someone taps you on your shoulder and yet another deceased Vulcan I did have to spend threat to do it but I another Vulcan taps you on the shoulder just gave you five the the good news is long as you roll at least one success you can successfully melee attack it in return but there's another one there is another one yes what's that one doing I just fell that one is still on the ground so you've got one Mesa free action to let Williams know I have another one you certainly may I do that I'm on the way I'm gonna roll it yes all right another daring security and something I should say is that usually when even you guys kind of see what combats like now it's very you know very quick once we get the hang of it usually also sometimes do a three and done rule depending on where we are in the session so for this combat we will do a three rounds and then we'll find a way to narrative Lee wrap it up kind of a thing so with one success you do manage to melee attack the one that has snuck up on you go and roll me three challenge dice five is enough to knock him down as well gonna punch him right in the face all right well the good news is since this face plate is shattered you get right up into his nose in fact you hear the sickening crunch as his no nose both brakes and dislocated the same thing and he goes down not out but he is down and it is now the players turn again to Williams raster alone I will yeah I'm gonna try to spoke the one that I am fighting so I'm gonna try to shoot it with my phaser rifle set to kill set to kill get more threat yeah why not now are you charging your phaser in any way because charging it does give you additional effects but it also does take an additional shot yeah you know what I am gonna go ahead and do that okay would you like it to be piercing so it would get through resistance or would you like to be vicious affects count double I will let's make it piercing okay soon that's control plus security at a difficulty of three correct no momentum speak of could give me throughout no good actually you know yeah I'm gonna give you a point it's right to get next you're dying alrighty look at that do you get a momentum very nice and yeah go ahead enroll me uh nine challenge space I mean so that is four with a piercing of eight so you're gonna get through his resistance but four is not enough to kill it you could spend the momentum you just got to reroll those five zeros though will do just that okay that is enough with the extra four damage you to disintegrate and I'll let you flavor it if you so wish yeah it's just gonna be that standard Star Trek he's gonna get hit with the thing and just sort of from center mass out he's gonna be reduced to just a skeleton just turn to ash and if I can I'm gonna gets up it starts come you know then I'm gonna try if I can to begin to make my way over to to a low ll okay I would say that if you give me two more threats you will be able to not only find a low but you will be able to see both of her attackers he's just gonna make more attackers all right I'm gonna pull I'm gonna pull my away team here so I know it's a no formatic um is there Flair can I use a flare you use a flare I would say you could use a flare but it would be subject to the same sort of 2 meter restriction I don't even know I walk I mean heck heck it let's just go I'll give you your threat and I'll end up there and if we are doing like three and done I think I've got a way to narrator we wrap this up with a nice little bow okay all right so good news well as it's either your turn or Raths turn allow you do see that commander Williams has emerged from the darkness Rast you have a different problem you have a face plateless mr. Maddock who is opening to suffocate and freeze wrasse is going to take his knife slice the slice the arm on the evie suit for the vulcan mm-hmm and like pull it down over Maddox face also kind of forming like a hood of some sort correct did you use mothering medic [Laughter] let's have Rast roll a daring and engineering and I will make this with threat a difficulty of to a medic try to assist or am I just basically you are not out for the count but you cannot assist a hood being thrown over your head we also have these a beacon like these transporter enhancers you do they just have not been set up IKEA's pylon things that we have to set up mm-hmm all right so I'll give you a threat I'll give you a threat and I'm also going to argue that we could just say that he's like panicking and trying to slap your hands away fantastic okay so we have two options here either you can just bail out right or what we can do here is you can spend your determination again now with determination you get one point a session there are ways to get more of it so you got a challenge of value yes and if you would like you could challenge a value now what challenging a value does is it gives you a point of determination back however you must cross out that value and at the end of the session you must replace it with a new one so it's usually something that you would say like doesn't believe in a no-win scenario you might cross that out and change it to victory is preferable or a no-win scenario is an ideal but it isn't it's it's a change of value if if I'm making any sense okay I think I've got a suggestion just cross out I don't believe in a no-win scenario and replace it with [ __ ] Matic man game 5 F value whatever we're gonna go ahead and do that okay doesn't believe in all right you may roll as many of those dice as you wish oh because you spent your determination or me roll I'm gonna let it succeed it cost but that means I get four threat who's counting who's counting anymore like so Matic good news bad news good news Rast has managed to basically throw a hood over you and you are no longer suffocating bad news you cannot see out of your suit it is just a wall of fabric I poke you get rid of the whole advantage and I would say that as long as you do not take a single point of damage this fix will hold but the moment you take even a single point that that the jury-rigged fix will rupture now I just kind of gives a thumbs up he's okay all right so allel before we move on to round number three what would you like to do so I have Williams with me now right you do all right uh so she's gonna try and step on the face of the one on the ground in front of her mr. purple mr. purple alrighty so that's gonna be a daring security from you you would need three successes to hit him okay and the bad news is is that if you don't hit him he's gonna hit you for enough damage to do the very same thing that happened to magic God aside she goes down she's has a line of fire [Music] Oh unfortunately two successes is not enough so allel you bring your foot down to try to curb stomp this guy yeah and in a feat of agility that you would you were definitely not expecting he not only rolls out of the way but he brings his foot up to kick you in the face plate and you are gonna take five stress damage your face plate is going to shatter jeez and you are considered injured which means that effectively you are out of this combat but this does matter for Williams because Williams if you don't do anything on your turn she's gonna have problems so we'll just give you that icon for now and yeah the good news though is that well not really good news I should say the good news is that the Vulcans have to spend threat to further attack alone which I'm gonna do I'm gonna spend threats so the very same Vulcan that just kicked you is actually going to bring his hands up and start to put the fingers on the pressure points that would be common for a mind-meld and I need you to now roll me a what is this this is a presence and command and the difficulty here is a three all right so unfortunately you fail this so immediately you begin to mind-meld with the Vulcan and this isn't actually going to end combat because as you mind meld with the Vulcan you're not sensing a Vulcan on the other end you're sensing in alien life form on the other end and before we go to break the alien life-form says what are you and that's what we're gonna take our break so be back in about let's say just be back at the top of the hour everybody [Music] all right welcome back everybody and apparently we have quite the viewership today so height which how you doing twitch I hope you're having a good time my players are that's for sure so where we last left off the deceased Vulcans that the away team had come across on a planet that was naturally dark due to a silicate atmosphere the doctor a genovian named lieutenant allel had just been mine melded with in alien consciousness and that's where we're gonna pick up so narrative time this happens almost instantly for a low the two Williams who might be already trying to scramble to do something about the face plate shattering uh or maybe even to pull the Vulcan off of a well this is this is all happening almost momentarily with elves mind but to repeat on the alien presence that is sort of behind the Vulcan so it's it's kind of using the Vulcan as a conduit the alien presence says what are you might answer in my mind you may answer yeah you may answer back you you are able to freely communicate with this presence I am a Jahnavi line what is it Enochian we are a race people you mean intelligent life yes you are not like us you're not intelligent you are not like us where are you I am everywhere are you in the air yes how did you get here my ship it crash-landed is it the ship in the crater yes are you stuck here we are terraforming this planet so that we may survive do you want us to leave do you need to leave I think our biology is incompatible with your terraform methods you are different yes doesn't say anything else we mean you no harm that is not our intention either how did our how did the others die others you are the only life-form we are aware of well now aware of so how are you you are speaking to me you're my mind via another organic life-form the conduit the conduit is a life-form yes a dead life-form that is regrettable I would say it is a regrettable as well if you let us go we will leave you alone and almost like you rushed back to yourself and you find yourself back in the moment suffocating and freezing to death as the Vulcan cadaver pulls the hand away from your fit from your face and I'm gonna let Williams if you want to you know jump in this would be your time to do so yeah okay I can I mean is there a way that I can seal her helmet there's several ways you could use the Rast method of cutting off this of a Eva neavy suit and just sort of forming a hood you could go into allows medical kits and pull out basically a injury sealing foam but it would work in this case you would basically foam up the front of her face plate and it wouldn't be visible through the face plate but it would be see at least you know let's go with option number two the shaving cream okay I'd like you to roll me a daring and medicine please difficulty of let's make it a difficulty for because I've got the right why not okay that's yeah alright daring medicine gets more tea does my survival focus apply here it definitely would okay I'm gonna give you a threat to get next to die okay all right two successes I'm going to say you have an option of succeeding here however the complication is that you seal it up so well that the only way lol is getting out of this evie suit is if someone cuts her out of it let's do it let's do it alright so you take the spray from and go chase plate and it seals up almost instantaneously nll you begin ago as you can finally as the suit reestablish atmosphere and you can finally breathe again and yeah we are out of combat you can speak freely with yourselves take it away lieutenant you alright oh you're a little frazzled so she kind of like doesn't answer you right away and tries to get her bearings I'm like yeah just kind of feels around so she doesn't answer you right away but she looks like she's cognizant something well that's the case I'm gonna sort of take her by the elbow and try to get her on her feet sure she gets up right now I'll just I will do the we'll do the fourth grade method and I'll just lead her by the hand back towards the brought about okay where we gonna others sure yeah I think that's probably a good idea yeah Williams to Raston Matic we're here liable to talk with the hood on or no yeah you can talk with the hood and and sorry Jim what's happening with the Vulcans oh they're just sort of standing there just chilling but actually I'm gonna spend some threat the two that were with you they're just sort of walking behind you you know they're not really being aggressive there yeah I'm gonna save it seems like for whatever reason hostilities here are over we've still got two until recently enemy contact with us but they seem to be taking no hostile action and just observing oh well well like kind of speak up and say they crash-landed here there was in the air they don't want to hurt us if we don't hurt them they didn't know we were here before Maddox gonna feel around him for the head of the Vulcan he took off okay um he's gonna pick it up and just kind of feel and he's gonna try to like see if it's dead dead I mean I don't know how much tactile sensation you would have through an EVC it but you're just like yeah this is a head this this this is a head I mean it's only doesn't bite him or anything like I'm assuming that it bites your finger doesn't do any damage it just bites your finger I hum the head and I'm like yeah we're handled over here - alright we're we're making our way back to you lieutenant ll all her face shields broken and I've patched the problem but she's not gonna be able to get out of this Evie suit on her own we had a similar issue at that point Matt crown will look in the general direction of where he think rest is that Omaha masoom I'm hoping Manik looks in the complete wrong way Rast your face mascot correct are you having any integrity issues with your suit check it real quick I would say for the sake of momentum go ahead and roll me a insight in engineering a difficulty of 0 oh thank god you know did I tell him how to check his suit really well so that way I can assist in the roll watching role complications I would say if you a systemic you could assist him but I would make the complication range bigger hey you're spending thread [ __ ] it I think we're good ok no that wouldn't fit even though I like checking out my helmet hello operation no a 1 success that's one momentum so yes the good news is that as long as you don't take another massive blow to the face plate you're fine all right no it seems to be fine let's see if we can get this door open and possibly get you a helmet so let's rascai two waves from what Matic can remember of how the building looked mm-hmm which structural integrity of the building be compromised at all um partially but it's conceivable that us in some places yes but the way the prefab is built you would know just because you're the chief engineer you know these things um you know that the prefab is modulated so maybe one of the mods is completely exposed to atmosphere but the other three should be completely fine but I will remind you there is no power currently to this thing and for sake of arguments get it you guys all in the same page as you are fumbling around Williams and allel you all find the same beginnings of the outpost as the rest now how you get from point A to point B I leave to the rest of you race once they say that they've arrived I tell them just simply follow the road it'll bend to the west if you see a head kick it ahead got it like a soccer ball rest I suggest we get in there and see if we can find me find me and I hope replacement suits I agree let's see well wait they're almost here so let's wait for mr. Williams and am i lagging behind no I'm proud yeah and sure enough the two Balkans as I said are just kind of following behind you Rast looks for a moment seize that mattock can't see so he's not panicked about the fact that there's Vulcans watching yet otherwise Maddux would be like shooting stuff hey we made friends with ours uh yeah yeah Maddux made friends in his own way I don't know friends is the right word but at least they're not enemies they seem pretty neutral I am going to attempt to open the door alright roll me a fitness and engineering please difficulty of zero can I help him with that you may certainly assist him alright I'm going to persuade the door to open sure why not why not boy Madigan Williams just your rest okay baby just oh my god phrasing all right so uh two successes so you get three total momentum and yeah you are able to open it up and I'm gonna say that for sake of argument you lucked out that you've opened up part of the airlock now whether or not there's atmosphere on the other side of this airlock you don't know but if you were to close the door and seal it and then open up the other side of the airlock you would find out very quickly or make it so all right so we'll say that rastenn williams you go ahead and you cycle through the airlock and sure enough you luck out there is a class-m atmosphere meaning breathable atmosphere on the other side and now that you're able to kind of see I'm actually going to increase your vision range here just so you can see the entire prefab so I think if I did that - Rast yeah it should show up for everybody yep yeah all right so that's as far as you're seeing it is a 1 2 3 4 5 it's about a six or seven meter by 7 meter cube and the good news well good news and two aspects not only are you seeing Sperry V suits you're also seeing a working console now when I say working it's like sputtering so it's like flickering in and out well do you want to go look at the console commander Williams and I'll get Maddox and then ll taking care of as quickly as possible yeah you're gonna need to cut a little out of her suit yes I'll get I'll get mad at cow traumatic out first and then we'll take care of ll sounds good all right so let's say that you're all in the prefab now yeah I'll take a look at the console while he's handling mannequin well okay so as you look at the console you see that there are a series of personal logs and as I said off screen you may if you wish to have extra momentum one of you may choose to read out these logs but for the sake of the stream I am going to put it up so that everybody can see it you to momentum to read this out the whole thing the whole thing well I would say you could pick and choose if you really wanted to because some of it's just dry fluff it's mostly just for the sake of argument what do you pull from this log hey I can just run through it go for it okay remember you're okay start eight eight seven one nine seven point four establishing base camp we have deduced the planet semi-major axis as zero point zero three five six au orbital eccentricity of 0.018 orbital period of two point four the level of days a rotational period of six point two or five hours or six point one two members a normal inclination of 83 the day-night period will take some adjustment Saturday eight seven two four eight point one this morning several unidentified objects fell and impacted the surface of the planet producing substantial shock waves which has impaired some of our equipment most notably sensors well fresh thought of as large meteorites scans of tech life signs and as such an exploratory team has been selected to investigate the phenomena the nearest impact site is the days travel by desert flyer I have not been selected start eight eight seven two four nine point nine we have not heard from the team today we will attempt to re-establish communications by transmitting every three hours with the standard call-and-response procedure start eight eight seven two five 0.5 a storm has begun to move in on our position an intensely thick black storm the sensors are measuring sudden electrostatic discharges from which strange composition this weather was not detected in orbit by initial surveys so I must continue to try and gain tool of telemetry though is noted in my previous vlog the sensor equipment has been mouth has been functioning at thirty seven point five one percent efficiency since the impacts start eight eight seven two five five point one the atmospheric phenomenon is all around us now having entirely replaced the composition of the class H atmosphere of the planet previously no contact has been made with the exploratory team and I am uncertain our communications have been penetrating the atmospheric phenomenon you have decided to activate a distress call to alert Starfleet to our situation expedition Log supplemental we are under attack from an unknown alien species they have inflicted breaches to the structure of the buildings and main power is offline environmental controls are failing I have ordered the lar to prepare the easy suits there's an alien screaming as well as sounds of an EVC pressurizing this log will be our last year we will there's an incredibly uncomfortable pause muffled sounds of crunches and alien screams before they compete our clothing for log and walk and that's all of you get that so are we am i changed yeah at this point you would have checked so she's kind of like finished reading up and no wells like well it doesn't sound like they told me that they were in the atmosphere and I assume that they were using the Vulcans as a conduit and I asked them how they died but they didn't understand that they were living in the first place they said that we were the first intelligent creatures they've come across she seems puzzled and there are still gauze and gashes on the structure that doesn't it doesn't mix with volcans being able to cause that type of damage in a larger engine maybe there is something else here the logs mentioned something attacking them exactly and whatever was shrieking in the background that last log was no atmospheric disturbance can we ask one of these dead Vulcans I mean ll you seem to communicate with them somehow they communicated via my mouth and I don't want to do that again necessary I will if we need somebody to mind-meld with them I need I need you as sharp as possible for the potential of the engineering to get the ship back off the ground I will I will go and try to communicate um maduk we'll try we'll go over to the consulate still somewhat powered and he's gonna try to get sensors back up okay we should try to also reestablish communication with the ship I would say that if you give me to momentum I will not only allow you to reinstate power but also gain communication back to the Fenrir just cut those two momentum group decision I mean I say do it having this place a person who can roll this the best witness would power would be main life support yes so wait is this an automatic thing or a I still need to roll no just give me to momentum and it'll happen can we call momentum and have him roll uh yeah I would have him roll a let's call it a control engineering at a difficulty of three it's three because you're still in your Evie suit so it would be an increased difficulty because of that okay so is that spend 2 an role or Amaral I forgot spent 2 enrolled we might as well just spent 2 an oppo when it's a difficulty 3 yeah I'm basically trying to throw you a bone since you know I don't want to spend 26 threat at you let's just take it let's yeah let's take the life preserver ok so yeah we will we will take what's behind curtain number two Bob and it turns out it's the donkey it's uh I forget the name of that that problem is that the Monty Hall problem doesn't matter it's beside the point yeah you are able to not only reestablish life support but communication with the Fenrir and I'm gonna say that captain Archuleta you have been trying to reach the away team for quite a while this is archuleta to be away team do you read me medic here captain how can we help you oh good I'm glad you didn't hate just hang up on me again what I'm not chef but with the council uh report on your status commander uh we're alive rats don't go over they say that evidence that's something to be proud of we have reestablished power at the outpost we have encountered several Vulcans unfortunately they are no longer among the living we had a few issues and potentially a first contact scenario we'll fill you in as we get more information is everyone safe everyone everyone is still functioning currently all right I'm gonna I'm gonna chime in at this point and saved captain this is Williams lieutenant ll has been injured not critically but please have sickbay standing by when we get back very well keep me updated any new developments on your end captain I don't think there has been no pause there nothing going on Oh Jensen did call Jensen did report the sick bay so there's that but you know it's Jensen I probably would have had the doctor put put him under standard just man flu and then the man that cure is a couple hours rest after a hypo spray of sugar water okay I only bring it up because we started this session with Jensen said of course we have a chronic case in Jensen sounds like a clown so it's fine to say but not when you're trying to be serious um nothing no new developments you're in orbit way team take care of yourselves and check in understood and with that Rast is going to make sure everybody's fully locked into their Eva suits and he is going to step outside I think if I understand correctly since this is an airlock we can I mean cycle definitely yeah right could we try to bring one of the Vulcans in that way we you could remove your helmet and not let suffocate I'm going to ask them okay surest yeah you step outside yeah and are you just gonna verbally say hey we need one of you to come inside something like that he's he's going to step step forward and say can you communicate verbally the Vulcans remain motionless i motion one of them come forward one of them does step forward why otherwise the eyes are lifeless there's there doesn't really seem to be an intelligence behind them so it might have just been a random movement you're not really sure okay I take I reach down for his hand okay and I'll take it do I know if it would work through the EVC um if I remember Voyager Tuvok does it at least once so I would say yes you could potentially do the mind meld through your suit to him all right so I take his hand and put it on the side of my head okay are you I mean you could also do the reverse where you initiate the mind meld and now I do it am i able to yeah I mean his face plates broken so you could go you know reach through and yeah okay yeah and a Romulan yeah with a Romulan twist mm-hmm yeah yeah I'll do that all righty so this is going to be either a presence and command or it could also be a control in medicine whichever you're better at the difficulty here is a three it's gonna be presence in command okay and how about sino psychology most definitely I'm sorry but I know that is fancy I'm gonna go ahead and spend our mental do it complication and no successes I'm gonna say since you did get the two successes this will succeed at a cost however the complication is that while this is all going on and I'm an increase Maddox range so that you can see this as well while you are my melding those of you might notice very large shadows moving in the distance but as you as you mind-meld rest you contact the same alien presence that al l felt and now that you are indirect well almost direct contact with it the mammalian presence is now familiar that this is the pressure you've been feeling this entire time okay and the presence says are you another life-form yes how odd there are so many of you we have come - we have come to try to help the people that you currently inhabit believe you called them the conduit yes we did not know the conduits were living we simply sensed a power source and tried to harvest said power no Sun God you harness power yes we require power to survive we'll get the power drink we will gather what we can here and and be on our way we came to try to find any survivors if we do find any we will take them with us there are no survivors is there any way that we can help you we wish to know more about you you are new can you can you come inside to our atmosphere no your atmosphere is hostile to us that is why we have terraform this planet this is why I asked well I I would I would greatly welcome a discussion with you we may use this conduit if you so wish or you may interface with one of my pods and is at this point that this big old hunk of flesh just sort of floats into view and I'll move it so the stream can see what's going on this big old hunk of floating flesh just sort of flies into view and just hovers menacingly I wish you yes this is one of my pods let's continue to use this conduit as you wish what is it that you are called we are the Karelian we are we are we are many different things but I am Romulan and beta's it we do not know these things more than happy to tell you more there's just silence but you get the general feeling that they've accepted this just don't tell them the coordinates don't tell the cordless and he is going to do his best to reach into his training and follow first contact protocol the best to the best of his ability okay so what you would know in that case is that while you have not botched but you've made almost successful first contact and because this mind this presence the Karelian as they're called has expressed interest in learning more um you've basically done all you can do at this point this is where actual diplomats actual like anthropologists come in and you know actually do the full first contact we will we will do our best to send a representative to speak further with you if you would like someone more trained in meeting with foreign life-forms for the first time this would be good we will deliberately tell our pods not to SAP the energy of any future landing craft you send I appreciate that we will we will send you a can you receive messages hails yes we have used your beacon to monitor all your communications then we will send we will send you a message upon our approach this is acceptable we must gather a few things so that we can repair our ship as you mentioned the energy has been sapped from it and then we will be on our way and I will send you a representative we look forward to meeting with you again they don't say anything but there's definitely a measure of contentment and agreeableness okay he's going to get on the communicator and talk back to the group and say I we need to find what we need and we're gonna go ahead and repair the ship and get out of here music in my ears hi how long will it take you to get what we need medic assuming that nothing major is wrong with the ship and I need to replicate anything probably half an hour to an hour to make sure I have enough components and then get back to the ship and fix it alright commander Williams why don't you come with me and we just do a one quick sweep of the of the area here just to make sure that our guests are correct and the fact that there is no one hiding masking themselves or anything of that nature and get any other files that you could potentially get back to the Vulcans right behind you commander and we're the two of us are just gonna do a quick sweep of the area okay and as you do you do see in fact I'm just gonna turn off global illumination at this point so you can see what's going on because you've more or less be in the encounter so you do notice that there is not just one but two of the floating sort of masses of flesh but they don't seem to mind your presence they don't really make any moves that would be considered hostile you do notice that this one to the left the larger of the two is currently attacking the prefab to the north but you notice that it's not trying to destroy the structure it's just trying to get at the electrical wiring to the structure umm hardpoints power cables I'm going to eject the core from my rifle okay and roll it along roll it beat to this side of the creature okay gentlemen I'm sorry go ahead yeah you break it you bought it and as as the power core rolls out the creature actually almost instantaneously turns and using one of its mandibles / tentacle things it picks up the Power Core and you can visibly see that the electricity is being drained the power is being drained out of the core I figure it's eating that gives us an opportunity to quickly get into that building and see what we can find oh well we do that is there any way GM that I can perhaps take some tricorder readings of the larger pods to find out what type of matter that they're that they're made of I mean obviously the Vulcans are Vulcan but I want to know what these things are made of roll me a reason science difficulty of one and I already spent my determinations though nope best you can tell is that they're a silicon-based life-form but beyond that you got nothing one of the things that the other race hunts yeah like that's a decent question that's I was wondering that myself they seem quite dangerous I think there's a reason they set up close to a star like I wonder why they're not using the solar power um actually if we're actually talking about it I'm gonna sort of harken back to when we were going through the the ship that belongs to the the ISS and say me did you notice that the Battle Damage I mean can anybody remember was it near power given to mate what were they called what were they called again the SF the SS yeah I'm going I'm going to look at Williams and see if you go in see what you can find file wise or anything important I'm going to speak with the creature again all right and a welfare says me and very feeling okay I'm feeling fine okay I'll stand by and then he is going to reach out and touch the large creature okay so let me just move some token so everybody knows where you're at all right so you make physical contact with the creature and I'm going to say that no role is required for this you immediately make contact with the mind again I have a follow-up question we would be happy to answer you know of the as f we have not heard of this as F before are they like you they are also a silicon-based life-form like yourselves how interesting perhaps we would get along have you ever encountered a life-form that looked like us but with long slender bodies that did not have separate legs trying to describe it yeah you're trying to describe a tail uh wouldn't he be able to do like a mental image of like a memory of this is what they look like I would say you could have happened he'll do that and the mind says we have never seen such a creature before no well you have many things to look forward to and when we come back and speak more to you with our emissaries he is going to kind of make small talk it's a by Williams time all right and Williams come here I'm here often how's the weather Williams you actually find something very important you find a barely functioning but still the occupant inside is still alive in unconscious Vulcan yeah immediately well I'll move to extricate them immediately and get them back to the ATS in a classroom environment but as I do I'll hit my communicator and say Williams to elf I've got a live one here so she like will bring will bring him back to you okay and I'll wait here we'll go help so yeah you guys get back inside the environment and a low I'd like you to roll me a reason medicine a difficulty of one and this is you scanning the Vulcan that's conscious or unconscious to see if you need to do anything immediately um forensic science or Zeno immune ology I'll give it to you wine one success is all you need good news you don't he's not like in any life-threatening scenario he just is unconscious probably from stress or lack of proper oxygen so with time he'll come back around of his own volition if you really wanted to you could wake him up with a hypo but whether or not you do so is your discretion okay so he's not I say to the commander's he's alive it seems like he's gonna be fine he just needs to wake up on his own I recommend in order to not complicate the situation further that we do not bring him make him come awake as much as I would like to hear what he knows I agree cherubim somebody's gonna have to help me carry him back to the shuttle Oh enough and yeah I think with that we come to the end of our session but before we close off because I find it an interesting way to the session and to give the captain a little bit of leeway command arrest you have just finished up your report and are delivering it to the captain in her ready room all right Rast walks over and hands her the hands of the pad the pad is pretty much a minute-to-minute discussion of what what happens during the mission he doesn't omit anything okay um so she reads it doesn't get very far before she lets others says crashed another shuttle the the shuttle is back in our landing Bay captain good she keeps scrolling through she says oh you initiated first contact correct well done that's whether or not she pays attention to the whole fact that Maddox dissipated so wait what do you mean well see I'm wearing - yes so Maddox may or may not have disintegrated one of the first contact beings that was inside of all Caen - but I was scanning and the hated one yes well she does that because Maddox I mean I got one I got one - if you really want to be technical about it yes but I didn't know about the one you got yeah I'm sure enough talking to them before resorting to violence there was a well there was a struggle when it came when it came to me by the time I had already in engaged in melee with it one of them was already quite disintegrated so at that point we had to defend ourselves as Maddox as you can see here his visor was broken and mine was cracked by the actions of the creatures inhabiting the Balkans in retrospect however it does appear that they were possibly trying to reach out and talk to us I see and do we know how many people were on this planet before they decided to come on terraform it may be to you I know it was a class H planet and they were doing their surveillance so I believe it was just a Vulcan Expeditionary Force which numbered about 15 and we did recover one of one of their number as well who should be well enough to to speak with us probably in about a week all right I would enjoy being debriefed by that Vulcan please notify the families of the deceased Elkin we gathered out any identification we could find and we will notify notified next again okay beyond that send this report to Starfleet and requests another ambassador reial team for a new species this keeps up captain you'll be known as the person that makes contact with everything better than my last nickname very well all right and we sort of pan out from the ready room out out into space is the Fenrir slowly orbits the dark planet and that's we're gonna end the session so hopefully you guys enjoyed that one for anyone who's curious that was partially one of the new missions that is found in the strange new worlds supplement it is the darkness mission so if you plan on throwing this at your own players I would actually recommend it it's my favorite from the newest compendium yeah I have guys I obviously tweaked it to suit our needs how you go through it may drastically change with your group but that's where I'm gonna end the stream I am gonna discuss a character advancement off stream with my players but we had a great turnout tonight I want to thank everybody who showed up you guys smashed my normal viewership numbers so thank you tremendously for that hopefully you know what you've seen tonight is to your interest and I would love it if you drop to follow sub whatever and we see you in the future but once again thank you for turning out hopefully everybody had a good time and see you later stream good night | ELH Mk 1 | UCR6ApwWYGqLiiRgZaz2YHdw | 2019-11-27 | Creative Commons Attribution license (reuse allowed) | en | metadata | en | 20,508 | 105,210 |
nZ7y286uw2w | https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nZ7y286uw2w | Sickness and laying aside self concept 2/5-David Hoffmeister, ACIM A Course In Miracles | so that's when I really really began to let myself feel that sulphate app actually embraced it and welcomed this deep anchor and initially I felt anger at being sick that was that was the first level I could get to just pissed off after all these years after all that I've done I still feel sick I still feel a lack of well being and then dropping below that - is there anything else I'm I'm feeling angry about and dropping through the layers it included anger at people in my life angry at my husband at the time angry my parents all of these I felt through felt through kept dropping down below that favorite God and then finally deep deep secret for the stuff that I I thought I was and so so just perfectly in line with what you were saying and in that I felt a a discharging of this tension that had been and my system for so long but I just learned to live with you know just like this tension in the shoulders and attention in your stomach and just an overall kind of shaky feeling the more anger I released the more calm that became coz I always thought being common peaceful was a matter of calm down you know just simmer down calm down as opposed to welcoming up that which seems to be the epitome of lack of calm welcoming chaotic very very stressful on peaceful feelings to the surface and through doing that and embracing that and accepting that the those underlying thoughts and beliefs became very very and at that point I started to get a dramatic dramatic symptom of a I I mean I used to describe myself to sleep I used to be so physical and so vital and I could hike up mountains and stand at the top like rocky and just feeling on top of the world and for years and years I I didn't have the energy to to do any physical exercise of any kind and basically just get in my car go to my office come back make some food relate with a few people go to bed really early and if any of you have experience chronic fatigue it's it's you know you really start to have a very near own life because then it just seems to be so little energy available so the energy started to come back and I had to own why did I want chronic fatigue what torqued purpose was it serving for my ego because I at that point I really got where always without accepting experiencing what we want on some level so looking at how I wanted to withdraw I wanted to not be available I it was my way of saying no to all the obligatory giving but I was doing in my life all the people pleasing and so I had this handy excuse I can't do it I'm just too tired I mean you certainly understand how could I possibly say yes I'm exhausted and people were very convinced by that and I got really convinced by it but as I saw that it was all a means of punishing myself punishing others and just the Dhamma deepest level like we're talking about an expression session this morning just the out picturing of the guilt that's when my heart started to open and I began to feel that Wow there really is no external cause whatsoever it has nothing at all to do with anything in the physical it has has only to do with my relationship with myself and my relationship with my feelings so chronic fatigue was this beautiful gift to me to confront lifelong patterns of self-denial and self abuse and self-hatred and identifying with that which I am NOT and I'm telling the story quickly but just so you get the realistic sense of it it took about six years to go through this whole internal journey until the energy began to flow back again and even then I I was still focused on symptom relief I thought that was the miracle oh my god I got my energy back Wow I just I wanted to shut her to the rooftops I wanted to write a book about it when I started do seminars you can heal anything and spirit showed me another layer that I think we're all really falling into now that the healing is not the the symptom relief at all that that was a byproduct and and what was really healing was the mind misidentifying and adhering to beliefs and harboring repressed feelings that were the truth that was the healing the body seemed to follow suit but it really wasn't about that so you can see that you know we could reframe it from just kind of symptoms to work and take it underneath a little bit like like mmm I'm trying to avoid something with the sickness like she sings were they trying to avoid the people-pleasing and and I think most people can relate to that a bit like when we're in school and school starts to get so routine so methodical so boring so intolerable and all of a sudden you know oh I'm sick today looks like I get a sick day right Danny and he acted it out with it because the happy look of a sickness right right but it's an appointment there or for me I really I really not like to go to church so I would just kind of wake up in the morning with this ghastly feeling of having to be forced to go to church and so I would just stay in the bed and I would just go round and round around in my mind about how I did not want to go it was like I focused my full attention on not wanting to go to church and then slowly I would work my way into a fever a pretty good fever and then once it really I got worked up pretty good mom in the covers and she said oh no we have church today that she's kind of see no my forehead and then you know it's like pretty interesting that you'd go to all that mental work to make yourself sick to avoid something that that I believed I had no other way of avoiding it wasn't like offered as a choice well what do you think little David you want to go to church to sleep no no it wasn't it wasn't offered so when you believe your child you see it's not like the children are helpless it's just that the mind believes as a child who's helpless and believes that there's parents out there and there's authority figures out there and stuck in a world and that's the self-concept so the self-concept is so firmly held in place and it's such a feeling of being suffocated or trapped that that sickness seems like a pretty good option like well there's one option I can do to get out of going to church and that's to make myself sick and of course people do that in various professions you know where they just start to get a get a real burn out of the job or the career and then how convenient sick leave for sickness and it can either be a more of a plan I'm like okay I can't really tell my boss that I'm gonna quit or I can't really voluntarily do it so I'll just make myself sick you know all the pity of everyone involved all you poor baby and then if I make myself real sick that might get me out of the whole thing completely you know severance pay or some kind of insurance hey you see this whole thing is all invented you know with a what we're seeing as sicknesses often use as an avoidance to face some kind of issue deeper down in the mind which really you know would be good to put your full attention on what is it that I'm not facing what is it that I'm hiding and and it's this causation thing that Neuros mentioning the the basic underlying assumption underneath it is I've got problems and their problems in the world and I'm gonna have to do lots and lots of very complicated things to try to extract myself from a very very very tangled mess it's the way that it seems on the surface and when you start to say wait a minute no no no this can't be that way it must just be an invitation for me to go much much deeper inside and if I'm really willing to do that authentically to go much much deeper inside the Spirit will give me the means of support the people the symbols everything I need if it's such a glorious purpose and the little chart that she laid out she was delighted to see how this was like here here a little chair your rings it was very very similar it's like what that is is her sense the heart speaking giving her intuitively a map of the mind or map with consciousness and saying okay you've got to get your causation straight you know what you seem to have or do or perceive is really the bottom of the line is really the end points it's not the causation at all and you see how different that is from the typical human belief that oh I would be much happier if I didn't have this dad if I didn't have these symptoms if I didn't have you know that's what much of your life was thinking if I just see the right specialist and I can just be lifted from this specific problem that will make my life so much more easy and yet it's just the egos like okay it's find a temporary solution there it just it just shifts over here try this one or try this one or try this one it's like a dam breaking loose you're running along trying to with pebbles and stones and clay to plug with them and the water is coming through everywhere it just gets to be unmanageable you think my life is a total mess it's a wreck and you can always turn the TV and do the comparison thing and say well there are people that have their lives together but my life is a total mess you know the dam is breaking on all fronts and that put a piecemeal approach of running up and down the damage and frantically plugging rocks and clay and to try to stop the many holes that are just popping and you put a few and ten more pop open that's where the depression can come in the that's where people get suicidal when they have holes just popping and popping and popping and they still have an ideal that there are these healthy people well-adjusted people that are living happy lives like they look at the commercials for vacations there they are going out lay it on the beach towel and vacationing and the cool breeze blowing ah you know in all these problems how could it be and you can see where you can get projected on to God and can get projected on to yourself the body self and just won't go anywhere so so that's part of what we've been talking about all along I can give the metaphysics but then at some point it just has to be this kind of this switch to I am NOT going to play this game anymore of looking for causes in the world and believing in causes in the world and trying to handle an internal problem with all of these externals I mean all of us it's sometimes it's the school of hard knocks before we start to be ready I guess to hear that that we have to look inside and we really do it's not just kind of like well that's one option in life to look inside it's it's like so important it's absolutely crucial that we do that and that's what we're here for you know we're here to solve it | ACIM: A Course In Miracles David Hoffmeister |

okay I'm [ __ ] with this rap [ __ ] for real at what point did you really just start [ __ ] with the rap Once Upon a Time man the beginning I decided to do that [ __ ] in 90 and 94. yeah yeah I decided to do it you know uh I thought I was gonna play ball you know there's a lot of people thought they was going to play ball yeah I thought I was going to play we did too what about what you play for football basketball yeah and I thought I was gonna like you know I I was [ __ ] I was involved in all the the out of the Collegiate leagues and all of the uh like the Calvin Murphy understudied the pre-nba [ __ ] and I'm like nah I'm gonna do this and I ain't end up doing that I end up on some [ __ ] what if zero would have went to the lead though well my well I would have been done right now because that was you talking about 94. yeah yeah [ __ ] was in his prime so the 2000 you know 2022 I wouldn't have been because I'm still doing what I'm doing right now right I wouldn't have been doing that [ __ ] like that's some Vince Carter type [ __ ] be in the league with no hair come in with no hair grow hair and then leave back out the league with no hair like you've been in the league a long [ __ ] time like yo yo knee game man I remember when Vince Carter shocked the whole world yeah that night that [ __ ] stuck his arm in the Rim Yeah and then that next day it was pandemonium yeah yeah we knew then but like if you like really [ __ ] with basketball you know he was cold cold wave before that yeah but that time would go on you know you get to be cold yeah you have to develop the goddamn jump shot after a while yeah man I'm taking it like that [ __ ] like and this rap [ __ ] my knees don't hurt [ __ ] I'm saying I'm still still doing what I'm doing but it definitely would have been basketball though but I got I got I'm gonna save some hate I got some hate and I got cut from a team and I could have kept going but then I was like [ __ ] I want to go to school nowhere

like yeah man he like him and my other partner was my only support system yeah so I wrapped that [ __ ] and they'd be like yeah [ __ ] keep doing that [ __ ] and I kept doing that [ __ ] and uh he ended up being a big ass blessing yeah so yeah I'm glad I ain't played ball he was with you when you first hit the studio man yeah I'm talking about before we left the house house type [ __ ] yeah we were still trying to go to school and then you know [ __ ] that like [ __ ] became uh Hustlers and then men type [ __ ] I'm gonna ask you hey man you heard him rap first man what what made you say okay my partner code for real how old [Music] foreign [Music] man it had to be because I did this [ __ ] a whole lot of years for for nothing you know what I'm saying he was professional at first in 98 the first record but I ain't really make no money until I came home from jail the second time [Music] and uh it was a it was hip-hop for HIV that was the name of the show it was it was a 97 9 sponsored event I want to say it was at uh the NRG Stadium and I had to say it was about maybe maybe 30 34 35 000 people you know I'm used to I was used to doing rooms with like maybe you know three four hundred and I came out on the stage and uh [Music] he [ __ ] me up because Plies was up there I was late and I was on you know I was on [ __ ] time so I'm like [ __ ] this [ __ ] already talking about uh uh he doing shouty I'm like I'm not well I might well gonna go back to the crib because right yeah I was in the video I got so much foreign [Music] he was looking at him like forget how to talk about so when he left off the stage ain't nobody go nowhere I went up there and I was like man this [ __ ] is crazy and I went up and I think I did I hate you I think I did some more [ __ ] but I mean I had never felt no feeling like that before yeah and man they had the whole crowd I always saw this video they was playing [ __ ] at the rodeo and all the [ __ ] were doing this [ __ ] yeah yeah I mean this is a I mean it's old it's an old song from this [ __ ] pre-date social media yeah so I mean like I mean this round I mean I guess you got so much music bro I swear I hear a new zero song every time I [ __ ] go to Texas you have to hey man what that is the old [ __ ] again yeah yeah I mean that's what I mean that's why eating because this [ __ ] I mean it's new to you but I mean that [ __ ] probably just it's just oh it's one of them [Music] I got so much [ __ ] before I signed the rap a lot in in 2003. yeah because I had a career from 98 a professional career from 98 to up until the rap a lot days so I was already having my like six seven albums out and a lot of that [ __ ] didn't start hitting until I made it to the the you know the the plateau would would rap a lot then they made all the rest of the [ __ ] kind of oh let me go search his name now type [ __ ] this [ __ ] dope but we got six albums before this you know a lot of [ __ ] never got that push that it probably should have got on the independent label so I mean it did what it did but you come into this life of Jose [ __ ] and you gotta remember putting hundreds of thousands of dollars behind promoting this [ __ ] I always wanted to ask you though like a lot of [ __ ] who listen to your music know that you can't rap fast as [ __ ] yeah but you from Texas where the style so like you don't you don't really hear a lot of Texas rappers go off on the rapping fast and the twisting and [ __ ] like that like where you pick that [ __ ] up at I mean to be honest uh in most city where I was from I mean I mean Houston Texas period but on that Underground Music Scene we had a group named Street Military and you had a couple of cats in this group like like KB the kidnapper or Pharaoh you'll get certain it's a it's a Sinister meat going on and it might be a little slower so you'll get them like you know check to the breakup bones in the and and like you get to hear that but it ain't nothing like bone though it's like this [ __ ] didn't make you want to like break some like this this like because you hear bone you kind of be like in a good mood like you know wake up where all right [ __ ] I'm up you know what I'm saying it's cool like you're cool but like this [ __ ] here like you're making forehead ball up look I don't want this to be weird or nothing but what you doing February the

Carlos Miller is bringing jokes like you've never seen jokes before February the 17th foreign [Music] thank you foreign [Music] like that man and I mean so of course I wanted to emulate because I mean this [ __ ] was from my section yeah and I was listening to [ __ ] like Street Military and like the guys here the K Reno Point Blank like all this militant [ __ ] I mean even back when this [ __ ] Gangsta nip was you know gangster Nip yeah when this [ __ ] was biting shout out to gangster Nip yeah that [ __ ] was biting body parts and like he'll go on to love like a little a quick little tangent where you just and I really don't give a [ __ ] it'll be the [ __ ] with the you know what I'm saying and you like okay and once you catch the groove you know I want to rap like that too and that's it's a small group like of rappers that's that's a whole different state that you know can actually rap fast who's some of your favorite rappers that can hit that [ __ ] on some well to be honest man uh on a on a national skill like I say Buster hell yeah I mean you know no disrespect to twister but Buster though and then then twist it I'm gonna say a twister might have been maybe a smidgen faster but I mean busting that energy like that that's the sauce Walka [ __ ] I was talking about like I do that [ __ ] a lot myself I sometimes I say nothing at all but it's just the way that I'm saying this [ __ ] it it makes it sound like I hear everything so I mean buster and like I said man Street Military myself uh on a lot of that [ __ ] man I need a crazy bones used to you know still yeah he still do that he still got some raps that I'm working on I'm breaking them down yeah he always so it's kind of like his [ __ ] busy too yeah not not busy like you ain't going especially with that soprano almost soprano-like voice like that [ __ ] just sound like I don't know man like sharp blades and running water to a [ __ ] yeah like that [ __ ] going off so it's like but that's what that's it's so melodic yeah it puts you in a like I'm cool that dirty [ __ ] that [ __ ] that make you just cause I don't know like no hate but that [ __ ] made me want to sing yeah yeah but like this other [ __ ] I'm talking about that [ __ ] made a [ __ ] want to rap fast and break records and [ __ ] like that man tell me about that screw era of Houston man yeah that yeah that [ __ ] was difficult for me at first because I was rapping fast and a lot of people wasn't [ __ ] with me because I was rapping fast like they'll jam it would be like this ain't got no place on the screw tape like screw the man is rapping too fast and screw used to tell [ __ ] like man y'all is listening too slow and I slowed that [ __ ] down a little bit to kind of like so that she can marry each other but I mean that area in time I might have to be honest with you I was so [ __ ] [ __ ] up I don't really know too much about it I was [ __ ] up like I'm it's like I'm gonna keep saying that I was I was [ __ ] up I'm hot like I'm hiding the [ __ ] and and Man look I go back and listen to the screw tape because I don't know what the [ __ ] happened on man I go back and listen to this [ __ ] like what are your what are some of your favorite moments from from [ __ ] with it though man getting to see some of the uh the Legends before we do they think yeah like going in there and you know R.I.P the Big Hawk you catch a big Hawk on the freestyle you know what I'm saying or being at the gate buying a screw tape and you know Screw open up the door to see how you would say I'm not even in the click at this point but then you got fat Pat also rpdm you hear him and then his regular voice Dialing for the screw tape and you know it's no pins allowed like this is really awesome all right you know like the [ __ ] y'all be doing like real freestyle yeah hit that [ __ ] and nah this ain't some [ __ ] you memorize and this ain't the mother you know radio interviews it's a freestyle and I mean to sit there and be a part of it is one thing but then to watch the Artistry of other people do this [ __ ] I mean like that's a whole nother I go oh [ __ ] would say that's a whole nother bag Jack a whole another bag that's a whole nother Bag Man big mowing there doing the he's singing you know he's singing about pulling up a eight or some [ __ ] you know just some regular [ __ ] and we actually in this [ __ ] pulling up eight but everybody got their own eight type [ __ ] so all right you done made a lot of songs about drink what are some of your favorite songs by other artists about drink that you [ __ ] with you don't quit now so shout out to zero for quick drink We're Not Gonna who are you do you think you're gonna leave if you keep asking these police ass questions God damn you're making this [ __ ] a deposition you don't know no [ __ ] names back there some [ __ ] we're not about to sit here and explain all this [ __ ] to you you're a painter gin I drink milk you know when I was drinking I drink me a painter syrup so you know I got I got a painter gotcha but you probably gone but I'm pulling it up a little different I don't really want to go in there it sound like I'm giving a how-to guy to go to prison so I was just yeah yeah see that but I mean you know keep it music that's all it's just keeping music girl it's just uh I'm good yeah but uh I gotta say Big Mo because I mean to be honest purple stuff and uh and and by y'all you know uh pull it up a song that I'm on you know what I'm saying me Big Mo big out yeah uh but it's not really too many of them because to be honest with you man like I only listen to me and I've only been listening to me for a long time I know that you let me hear some [ __ ] that I ain't never heard twice I know this ain't got Music Man like he got a lot of [ __ ] that's out but the [ __ ] he ain't put out that [ __ ] hard is a [ __ ] thing yeah and I appreciate that that was really dope as hell you know being a fan for so long didn't get to hear some [ __ ] that I know the world ain't heard right now it sound like I'm lying all right one thing about the Houston artist period that they got a lot of projects from mixtapes to albums and whatnot and you know this the whole uh thing behind getting they they're getting their music out they can go platinum just in Texas yeah and they're so supportive out there and like you said it's a where's the whole world within itself when it comes to that music how many mixtapes you got uh versus albums I mean I definitely got more albums but uh it's really hard to to separate them because of a lot of people been calling the album mixtapes I guess because of the because hell they really are yeah because I mean you don't have nothing that goes into the album these days like how I used to go but I know we ride around it we ride around it 41 as a whole and I could tell you that it's probably foreign real albums and the rich mixtapes 41 but Society probably gonna tell you it's 13 real albums and the rest of that [ __ ] is just some [ __ ] that a [ __ ] did but just because it didn't come out on the major you know what I'm saying like they want to look at everything they came out you know back in the you know like life of Jones may let the truth be told still living like everything that came out on a on a label label they'll you know like the [ __ ] I've been doing like the sadisms and the you know the you know uh Coatings and you know the drinking and driving they'll be like like that's probably why why Carlos say you go back and you hear a new song but that [ __ ] ain't new it's just you just happened to stumble across that mother it's so deep in the archive yeah and it ain't nobody it ain't nobody pushing that [ __ ] yes you know you you know I try to push as much as I can on a on a smaller scale because you know I ain't working with no Ted Fields type of budget on my own [ __ ] so I mean it was different when it was on rap a lot that's what I was just about to ask you tell me about your time on rap a lot I mean she would definitely a uh a learning experience on what I needed to do when I got to like man my own ship yeah because as an artist you know you get a lack of a better term you get Pennies on the dollar but if you got something to do with the other side so now it's kind of like you pay yourself and then you pay yourself other people like they get your [ __ ] and they all right pay for this pay for this all right this what you left with you know this this [ __ ] right here is what you live with I got this lump sum though so I wanted that lump sum so I mean watching how business is done yeah and picking up on it from different people like not just at the Big labor like smaller labels like you know the the kmjs the presidential records you know the even even my time at a wreck shop you know helping out with the city sir every album like I I watch how direct did [ __ ] yeah and kind of just put all that [ __ ] together and I'm in a cool position where I don't really have to do too much and also at the same time can still make too much from not doing too much that [ __ ] too much like cool as [ __ ] to me so I'll be doing this [ __ ] but uh I can step that [ __ ] up a little bit I just I don't be having the need to yeah how did you how would you define your version of success to like if you were explaining to an up and coming artist what would you just what would you describe success to them as well I know probably from your experience from my experience I mean I had to say at first I understand that other people's versions of success is the type of car and the type of house and but to me is just having that [ __ ] and not having to break your back to hair that [ __ ] kind of like you know no disrespect to to nobody that got to get up and go to work in the morning or do some [ __ ] like that but about I don't know I had to say by since 1996 I ain't had to get up and go do a [ __ ] thing if I didn't want to they salute [Applause] that's what we strive for man that's exists like [ __ ] like hey man Wednesday 85 South I ain't have to tell nobody like I am from the shoot down

that [ __ ] went out I did a damn near five minutes yeah I just went over it was just one of them I ain't got [ __ ] to do I mean I did a whole [ __ ] I did a whole freestyle album no card games to five yeah I was just stealing everybody beat I stole for real [ __ ] no [ __ ] I mean for bees and uh that was just the one off of there I guess because of the tempo and everybody knew what it was like when it come on you think Eric being Rock him yeah and then that [ __ ] come on I'm just you know you know slow lighting banging you know whatever I see it on that [ __ ] then it sets the tone for a different song right okay I gotta do this one though because you know you got an Infamous Monica Luther Vandross that's when you get deep in your singing bag but for all the ladies who already fans give us give us a couple of uh wrote the Vandross ones that they can go through you know the one they'd be walking through the house with the look with the little goddamn cleanup [ __ ] all new titties and [ __ ] like that if they walking through the crib ain't got no [ __ ] you know mopping the kitchen and [ __ ] what would you suggest that they throw on by Luther Vandross if they don't want to hear no zero they want to hear some rope uh holding the [ __ ] hostage come on man that's why I asked my ass is off top I'm playing that on the way home yeah yeah I can relate to that I know what you're playing it for though okay yeah because it's not a it's not a it's not a happy song I believe it yeah but I mean the title got me interested yeah yeah holding the [ __ ] hostage uh [ __ ] headed lover yeah and this [ __ ] that wrote the whole [ __ ] about my life yeah yeah uh then I started puffing them [ __ ] so uh I guess I think that [ __ ] kind of [ __ ] you tonight yeah yeah without Kelly and um yeah yeah but it was Bart candy though R Kelly was on the moment yeah um pretty brown round they're pretty brown around that's another one uh man all the way back to year 2000 I guess let's chill there you go yes I mean it's it's quite a couple it's quite it's quite a couple man you know they get rambunctious I know it it's a great it's a great uh change of pace though yeah yeah it is you never know what you're gonna get you know a lot of people be saying that they they started as singing [ __ ] first and there is you you always hear some rappers say I'm the one who knows that got everybody singing and rapping at the same time but you've been doing that [ __ ] for a long time and whatnot what influenced you to do it uh well to be honest because I had to yeah I mean I'm gonna just give you the realest answer today as possible I couldn't afford to pay nobody else they really could sing simple as that I had to try to learn how to do that [ __ ] before I before I met Big Moe I was doing the song called too many [ __ ] you know trying to take me out for my game so I was I wanted more to sing that [ __ ] and I met him you know Screw was like Hey welcome to the Screwed Up Click but of course everybody wasn't there right so when I run into mom like hey man my name is you know zero man I want you to if you can because I ain't know how that [ __ ] went yet I was like man I hear you on this song he was like [ __ ] I need to hit 500 dollars and at the time she had no 500 so I was like yeah I'm gonna go home get in the mirror and I was just I just hung that [ __ ] till it sound good to me and that's how that [ __ ] started you know uh I have no money to pay nobody else to sing No ad-libs or sing No hook for me so I just learned how to do that [ __ ] myself at this point in the game 25 years man and you know you got a long list of features who you who you want to work with who left on your list man it used to be a lot of people on my list man but I'm kind of I'm just kind of content with doing my own thing right now I mean like who would win those songs with Snoop you know what I'm saying because I mean I hope I had to I have to give I have to get like four or five years to my post team upbringing the Snoop you know what I'm saying that hole and we just had some movement we just had Snoop come through here well last week yeah yeah yeah she like I got him been in the room with snooze like we didn't smoke weed or you know had a text conversation here and there with like this [ __ ] man like you gotta understand in a Screwed Up Click every day this [ __ ] screws in this [ __ ] [Music] like he and that [ __ ] beating up all of this death row [ __ ] I'm talking about mixing the [ __ ] out of it most of the hottest freestyles on that [ __ ] man is on worldwide South Side you know uh you know bow down and [ __ ] like that that whole connection yeah man like all these different schools like we rapping on a lot of these [ __ ] on the crumbs the bricks and you know Bluetooth you know we rapping on this [ __ ] so Disneyland is kind of like responsible for uh from one of my mindsets yeah I don't know which one it is but I know he's responsible for one of them one of the [ __ ] like so it would definitely be a [ __ ] like Snoop but then on the other side of the game like I do a lot of [ __ ] that ain't rap yeah so like on some on some musical [ __ ] period like I think it would be dope for me to do some [ __ ] with Tyrese yeah I do too that [ __ ] they got some like like he like you know heads out to him but on that singing [ __ ] he kind of like he called with the mom and he's like brandies yeah and from a young age when this [ __ ] was doing that Pepsi [ __ ] so like if I could get on you know and do like some real music or whatever it was because whatever that [ __ ] made them he made them [ __ ] go crazy man he did I believe he was riding that bus for real yeah he's super underrated on this thing and [ __ ] he underrated as an actor too yeah people be like man that [ __ ] can't act I'd be like you ain't never seen he is acting like his acting translates to him being a [ __ ] on screen that's why it worked for me like because I know he's a Polish actor yeah yeah but he's like he's giving y'all the best version of an actor [ __ ] super super believable exactly the first movie he ever did baby boy was super believable it wasn't no flow in there oh zero I gotta ask you this is from Houston right so Beyonce of course one of the biggest stars in the world is from Houston now I know sometimes at her show you know she do breaks and [ __ ] and she got this H-Town mix and she just be playing [ __ ] that don't nobody even know that she [ __ ] with like I know she didn't play Joe [ __ ] I've seen a clip yeah I don't remember which one but I know it's one of them ones one of them big ass Houston hits that you were part of yeah did the people who like they sing you this [ __ ] when that type of [ __ ] yeah man like I'd be sitting on the sidelines looking at that [ __ ] yeah and I'd be like it's just a little appreciate and being appreciated type of feeling as you get from a person you know on a platform like that yeah to be even you know reaching back and letting [ __ ] know that that's what what she [ __ ] with you know what I'm saying kind of like you know like like Alicia Keys and swiss jamming mostly done this week yeah or last week like that [ __ ] is like it's big for me because I mean I don't walk around like hey how you doing I'm zero so I don't know if you [ __ ] with the tick tock heavy though but it was this white couple who went viral when they got married they was rapping that [ __ ] yeah like to each other like it just came out of nowhere and that [ __ ] did Millions you saw that yeah yeah she's crazy man you won't take that like that out bro I got a page I don't like post [ __ ] not active I like to watch that [ __ ] some of the most interesting [ __ ] I have ever spent time wasting time watching yeah I never knew it was that many thick fine ass white women in America I didn't know they ain't on no other sites they gotta be government agents I think I'm talking about bruh I don't even know how to explain this [ __ ] I've been seeing all kind of thick women thick Asian women think Indian women think [ __ ] from Sri Lanka it's one [ __ ] she live outside in the village in Africa fine as a [ __ ] be outside barefooted with a fat ass I'd be like Lord have mercy on Tick Tock and you know what every time she posts it don't never look cold where she is it'd be beautiful as [ __ ] in the background but she living like yeah in the village part you know what I'm talking about they know I'm not bullshitting I'm talking about you see a [ __ ] she don't have no left hand beautiful everything else Flawless and you'd be like who the [ __ ] need two hands anyway we only use one of them most of I'm saying it's [ __ ] there to make you question the [ __ ] that you think that you like there's so many places that I never thought I wanted to go just to see if they got a lot of Finance women because I've been saying some crazy [ __ ] on Tick Tock I don't know if this [ __ ] is real I heard the Chinese run Tick Tock and this [ __ ] might just be AI I don't know if I like this [ __ ] or not but they got enough information to tell me what the [ __ ] that I like and they're doing a damn good [ __ ] job because I don't even have to follow these people and they just send me [ __ ] that they know I like based off the [ __ ] that I already like so they know the [ __ ] what I don't like they don't send the [ __ ] I don't like so everything I scroll past I damn near like it I like the [ __ ] so much I ain't even got the post [ __ ] they know that they ain't gonna post [ __ ] and I still got 30 000 followers I don't know what the [ __ ] they waiting on but yeah that's it shouldn't ask me I feel passionate about it he chose it yeah because he

up behind zero somebody it's the next [ __ ] know all your music what you got for the Next Generation advice man the uncle zero you just saying Are You Looking Back Now man if it ain't gonna change your life don't sign this [ __ ] why can you tell though like you can always tell you can always tell like like you gotta have wisdom at your side first of all you got to have somebody that's gonna know because if you're a young dude was looking like a Payday for you right now I don't mean it's a Payday for you in the long run they long term yeah like a lot of people look at this like I'm broke I'm [ __ ] up right now they gonna give me 250 000 up front you don't know what recoupable mean you know what I'm saying and you can't read [ __ ] you ain't really read [ __ ] uh you ain't knowing that you could possibly stand to get to get an old TLC type of deal and you basically making a penny per so you can sold 2 million how much money do you really got and you get two thousand dollars yes like you can go yeah you can go feed downtown on two streets for a day and then you're done so yeah you gotta if you came and create your own movement stay independent as long as you can let me ask you this do you feel like up and condiment artists do how important is is it to have your own Studio set up well I mean basically if you're a real creative I mean it might be three four in the morning and you just I don't want to say something different so you can just go to it and just go to work other than you know or I gotta book it when I can get back in then you gotta wait to do your [ __ ] like it's so you need your own [ __ ] just for the creative Vibe but then a lot of people you do your shitty Studios and [ __ ] might walk in and hear somebody [ __ ] with your [ __ ] and that's how you get your [ __ ] get stole too yeah 25 years later how often do you record not as often as I used to right now uh because I didn't like I don't know I didn't adjust it my time to do other things now you're a day or night recorder really I would prefer to do it in the morning I'd be better you know we'll be getting them going to the gym in the morning so it'd really be on some late night [ __ ] now because when I met like I want to record I gotta wait till late night when the plane stops flying because you know we got some good [ __ ] and it's going to pick up a conversation outside damn show a plane flying over here type [ __ ] so night time really from some anywhere from Midnight to about six seven in the morning type of uh that's the that's the best time for me you know what I'm saying appreciate it yeah yeah oh no I'm fine thank you so much no [ __ ] I don't want no goddamn water folks [ __ ] that water boy yeah there you go hey so what's your creative process man when you're inside the studio what you need in order to like really get inside your mode see the studio is all I need you know uh of course all the extra [ __ ] will make you feel better but I don't want nobody in there though like I need a lot of leave me alone in that [ __ ] late I'd rather I'd rather be in there by myself I want to engineer my own position I want to hit my own buttons like are you engineered too yeah well you pick that up at [ __ ] watching Mike Dean watching Mike Dean when he was mixing get throwed and you know songs like that like I I watch this [ __ ] mix Pimp C album from jail I mean I watched the mix like but you know I mean your engineer that's a different end what you look for what you listen for when you engineer well to be honest I'm just recording myself yeah and I'm putting myself as close to what I want it to sound like before I actually hand it over to a professional to to mimic that and I guess you know put the season on what I did you know what I'm saying with when I'm listening to the finished product I just want to make sure that my voice is the most important instrument I want to make sure that I'm not muffled I want to make sure that I'm hurt I want to make sure I ain't breathing too hard like I'm gonna critique the [ __ ] out of myself yeah yeah so I want to hear I'm looking for a professional as close to it as I can get so that's my that's my process I'm gonna I'm gonna keep hitting that [ __ ] until I'm comfortable with it I don't give a [ __ ] if it's two words 300 times I'm gonna hit the mode I mean I need that [ __ ] to be right making the music or performing the music which one is where you get more of a rush from before you're performing that [ __ ] because I got some I got some songs man they're pretty deep and it might be one of them days and you hit one of them songs and it's it's one of them days where it's like I'm gonna perform the [ __ ] out of this one like I hate you come on like I'll nah boy I'm feeling I'm finna hate this [ __ ] so bad on this [ __ ] song right now from the scene these [ __ ] out this [ __ ] what's some what's a city that that um showed you love like you was in Texas one of them ones that you ain't never like you went there for a show one night you know [ __ ] sold out of these [ __ ] know every word and everything and they just [ __ ] with you it feels like you at the crib performing Pensacola Pensacola is like that all of Louisiana is like that it surprised me but uh Little Rock was like that Fayetteville was like that uh damn it I mean to be honest everywhere [ __ ] go be like that yeah to be honest but I mean like it really it stood out of Omaha Nebraska it stood off at the border you know and uh more like the two of Texas and [ __ ] like that Mac you know they playing your [ __ ] in Mexico yeah yeah yeah yeah that [ __ ] that [ __ ] surprised the [ __ ] out of me um yeah man it it really seemed like it would uh I'm the strongest why I've actually seen [ __ ] get hurt doing this [ __ ] Opelousas Louisiana yeah I would lose his uh shout out to appaloosa's man yeah if you know you know [Applause] you can get hurt what you mean get hurt like you know them certain songs come on man and uh your mood change they need to be ready to fight man yeah and then they you got everybody on one I'm damn near promoting I guess being drunk because I'm oh I got a bottle definitely like we got a bottle [ __ ] big [ __ ] yeah we talking you know I don't really I don't really talk too much big [ __ ] but I mean but the songs for what they are it requires that it requires that [ __ ] in the uh it'd be a lot of people getting their ass not not in a long time though because that was gonna happen anyway you know we do a different set of songs yeah that [ __ ] came to the club to do that they do that [ __ ] every week right right I used to I used to rap that I'm a soldier fight you know don't want to hurt nobody it always end up with somebody getting hurt damn don't want to hurt nobody you told them you ain't here for that yeah but it ain't me like it's them crowd yeah another level man yeah that [ __ ] is crazy yeah I love those songs but yeah when they started doing that type of [ __ ] I always have to step off a dance floor back in the day you be out there dancing Jake man I used to dance my ass off I was a ticking machine you know all that [ __ ] yeah yeah you think you know one of the [ __ ] man you ain't gonna no not no more you still do it yourself man hey man I'm 40 now I can't even be [ __ ] around with this [ __ ] what the [ __ ]

whatnot are you uh are you a proud father or are you like I think it's a lot of [ __ ] in every city there's a lot of [ __ ] but I mean I I don't really think I don't really think none of us qualified to say was [ __ ] or not because everything has a fan yeah it's a pocket for everything yeah but for the most part man uh what we got going on in the h the [ __ ] that stands out like I mean I'm pretty sure like here this [ __ ] that's stand out in the eight or the [ __ ] that stand out on the way so the [ __ ] that stand out up top like when I think of what's standing up I'm not mad at that I'm not mad at that you know uh a lot of the younger dudes that stand out down there like I think our top standing out dudes right now is like like like the sauce factory you know what I'm saying they stand out you know sauce walking them you know big sanctions what they doing they standing out on what they doing and they come with their own fan base you know what I'm saying and then you got the other cats that's still young but they're a little bit more you know contemporary uh propane you know what I'm saying you know [ __ ] like that uh the scene is cool from the younger cats to the older cats like the [ __ ] that stands up so uh I'm not mad at it I don't hear too much but I do hear [ __ ] that I don't I probably per se wouldn't [ __ ] with because it's just me yeah but I mean there's still some dope [ __ ] that I'm hearing yeah so I mean I mean I'm yeah I say I'm a proud father of this [ __ ] yeah [ __ ] still riding swingers down there yeah yeah yeah that ain't never gonna die yeah yeah like they just like us all the cats I [ __ ] just don't be all out there like that like the younger kids like you know I gotta I gotta I you know I still gotta sit on the uh 84 with Rich but I mean I got regular swing you know I'm saying you know I'm young so they got this [ __ ] like I don't see how you could turn right with the [ __ ] I don't understand that [ __ ] either Carlos you got

T8OnRK86CVA | https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=T8OnRK86CVA | How To Add YouTube Style Subtitles In Kdenlive | Hey guys, welcome back to my YouTube channel! This Daniel Rosehill here Today another video about Kdenlive The open source cross platform video editor Beloved by many, sometimes buggy Recently getting less buggy But constantly advancing - which is what's important is that the project is not static it's moving forward regularly One of the recent additions in the recent releases of Kdenlive has been the ability to format subtitles - which is very useful Now for some reason I've done a lot of videos about subtitles on this YouTube channel recently I covered one which I think is more important than others Regarding the pros and cons of hard subtitling In other words of adding your subtitles into the actual video file Versus uploading subtitles if you're distributing video through YouTube as SRT files so that people can turn on and turn off the captions As I explained, there are pros and cons to both approaches Really the biggest con of hard subtitling is that at the moment they're mostly not machine readable So you've got an SEO advantage for using embedded subtitles Obviously you can turn them on and off - embedded subtitles so if people don't need the subtitles then they don't need to have them clutter up the screen And there's more as well Basically for most people I think it's better practice not to use hard-coded subtitles if you use embedded subtitles you allow people the ability to translate the subtitles automatically And that's going to become, as I predicted in that video, more and more of a thing as YouTube continues to increase language support for its automatic subtitle translation Now, what I wanted to show in today's video is how you can use this new feature in Kdenlive subtitling To kind of approximate the type of subtitles that you may be used to seeing on YouTube So what I did here is I loaded up a random documentary on YouTube That has subtitles. And I'm going to turn them on now by clicking on the subtitle icon. Now this is what most people are familiar with when it comes to subtitles on YouTube So let's just have a look with what they're doing with those subtitles So it's white subtitles ... it's a sans serif font of some kind or another And it's on a black background with no opacity As far as I can see - at least on my one - it's totally black So you've got good optical contrast which actually makes them pretty easy to read Now what some folks may not have realized is that you can actually change how the subtitles appear on YouTube By clicking into the settings cogwheel Then go into the subtitles menu Then you've got a little button here for options And this will allow us to see how the subtitles in YouTube are configured And then to get YouTube-like subtitles in Kdenlive we just need to do a copying operation here So the font we're using here is Proportional Sans Serif Font color is white, font size is 100 Background color is black - and I was wrong about the opacity it's actually 75% And it's laid out on the bottom Those are the main credentials if you will of those subtitles So what I'm going to do now is drag over Kdenlive And this is just a random video Of me cooking molokhiyeh. I don't actually know exactly what I said. At this second. So I'm just going to add like a junk subtitle. "And then we're going to take the bulgur out of the instant pot" I've already done a little bit of playing around with the subtitle options Now, subtitling has been in Kdenlive for a while So if you're using Kdenlive for subtitling then this probably isn't new to you Where this new(ish) feature is located is this little button It's just to the right of the update subtitle text version So if I click into that we're going to get our options now And we can have a look at the way these subtitles are appearing To me they could use a bit of improvement here So for font .. I'm not sure proportional sans serif is the name of a font You can scroll through the fonts But let's just go for something like this ... Peddana And now for custom font size you can just bring it up to a size that looks big enough And as you can see the subtitle is appearing here Now for opaque background we're going to have a black background. And we can also set a custom font color As well as a custom outline and a custom shadow And I can add a bit of shadow to the text so that it's easier to make sense of Now we also have a custom position option ... so we can do bottom center For example if we wanted our subtitles to be at the top we could do top center And now you can see our subtitles up there ... personally that looks a bit weird So in terms of the granularity of the options here I would say that we are still lacking some For instance being able to control the percentage of opacity As you can in YouTube would have been a very useful option As well as that changing the color of the background You can (only) either toggle on or off the opaque background So again these are very little things Most people are going to want a black background You're probably not going to want to put an orange background to your subtitles But maybe those little extra styling options will become available in future updates to Kdenlive So for the moment this is definitely an improvement I think the main subtitling formatting edits that most people are going to want to make in terms of options Is adding that black background playing around with the subtitle font size until you've got something that makes sense for your video And playing around with the font until you've got something you're happy with and that's very nice And readable. And I think that it's going to be pretty rare that people are going to want to have subtitles other than the bottom of the screen But if you did want to run your subtitles along the top, you could do that using these new features on Kdenlive Hope that video was useful.

NHc330cWSwY | https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NHc330cWSwY | Race Highlights | 4 Hours of Imola 2022 | ELMS | and we are racing once again here at imolo with the european le mans series in 2022. [Music] an absolutely terrific start for lorenzo colombo but a nightmare for the 27 that's been started by jean ludovic foo bear [Music] in the second place man julian canal has his hands full nicholas crewton trying to go around the outside into tamburello can he make that stick and doesn't get there and instead goes up and over the curve and loses the position to duncan tappy in the 22 united order sports car so tappy up to third and crewton full marks for bravery but he's lost a spot [Music] here comes on the inside the algarve pro racing car are ben fiscal and member row has to repay the favor brilliant racing at rivatsa great stuff great move from viscal but remember rojas just said okay you can have that and i'll take it back away we go again and viscal tucked in behind here good place here to make pace counts these cars remember mechanically identical but it's all about the way in which the teams look after the package this time of the insider beautifully done trouble for panics racing that car's gone around second place second place in the race for julian canal and he's lost that to duncan tappy nicholas crewton and the rest of them all go through as far down as ben hanley and now sally yolich as well [Music] it's michael fassbender's proton competition porsche which presumably has also been involved at tozer and it's beginning to disassemble itself so porsche into the rear of ferrari maybe or a spinning ferrari that the porsche couldn't avoid so the car ahead is pierre erect we're heading into towson turn seven erect will get uh a real tank slapper on oh man it just didn't accelerate out of the car there's nothing that michael fassbender could have done about that no [Music] habsburg can he make the corner we've seen places reversed through the second of the rivatsas but that's not going to be the case this time for car number nine which is up a position to fourth place habsburg overtaking alessia rivera [Music] [Applause] two lmp threes are the next little hurdle that this gaggle of three lmp2s have to get by and remember the p3 [Applause] and the number nine car is off onto the grass and losing more places through will go patrick pillay benefiting from all of that and by the way just before that car 9 was being warned about respecting track limits trouble then for the 88 car after what has been a very pacey run now what has gone awry there no sign of contact [Music] as we got side to side here with habsburg and pigley that was all because of pele slight error at varianty alter their side to side contact they were trying to make room for one another and pele going through rivatsa corner really needed that outside lane to run towards he was trying to get further down habsburg space but when you put yourself there on the outside line you're always vulnerable to something like that happening [Music] so rahul fry after an awesome stint for sarah bovee has a tyre let go or is that as a result of some contact with the rear right skombang veal nerf chicanes an awkward one as well johnny adam though looking slightly more maneuverable and they're going to go side by side here sandahan will be wise to allow johnny adam through [Applause] [Music] and that was an audacious maneuver trying to force the issue a little bit was that gabby obrie so delatraz i think will be in not at the end of this lap but the one after that to make it a 24 lap stint tom leroy looking to the outside he caught the grass but that wasn't the moment it was up the inside and he then sort of half-heartedly maybe backed out of it wasn't fully alongside and richard bradley spins as a result green is coming now and it's oh it's got him he's got him on the inside you know why that was because the 47 of james allen went nowhere no can't get it done but that was perfectly within yacht fanatics rights to get alongside yifa yay but it didn't quite work out and that was all down to remember each individual driver has been counted down by the radio out of that full course yellow it's how quickly they react and for some reason james allen just didn't go anywhere habsburg exceptional he made a mistake i think ferdi knows what's about to happen oh he doesn't want to speak too soon absolutely right but great stuff from promo racing massively so for the two big italian teams that have combined this year in the european le mans series prima racing backed by iron links they take the win here at himalaya the first of our two italian races in 2022 and in the most unlikely of circumstances louis delatraz ferdinand habsburg and lorenzo colombo are victorious premier racing take the win and uh he deserves to be just as happy as the three drivers and the team representative who are on the top step of the podium four trophies four bottles of champagne about to be cracked open and a delightful start for again a debut team wrt did this last year started so so well and prima racing rock up yes with so much experience in other disciplines within motorsport unably assisted by iron links in what you know it's two super teams combining so maybe we shouldn't be surprised by this run of results sally yolich charlie eastwood jack aitken victors again the goodyear caps are repositioned and they're about to spray the champagne as winners of the pro-am category i'm going to correct an error by the way from paul rickard with apologies to cf sports i did mention us we've got a little bit of premature uncorkage there didn't say that uh last time then when they're assisted uh technically by tf sport that was last year this year all in-house of sports to all credit beyond the three drivers to tom ferrier's crew back in the south of england and we've got more of that to come with a completely different national anthem and a brand new one for the european le mans series and indeed for uh aco rules racing ever coming a little later in this podium celebrations one two for oman staggering i don't think there's a prouder man in the place than ahmed al-harti and by the way he played a full part in that he laid the foundations for that result and well done sir and that wasn't not an easy stint as he was able to illustrate so efficiently earlier on to hayley edmunds because that's when the pressure was on from the 83 iron dame's car and sarah bovee who drove an exemplary stint as well by the way great stuff too from the second place that's the martin crew and let's pick up the big band john hartshorn stood on me in the middle there on the second rung of the podium uh amani just loves his racing and ably backed up by his two pro colleagues there third of course the castle racing team kimura great to see our japanese friends uh back out and racing michael janssen there will be more from mikkel in sports car racing news later in the week that follows this one that's the national anthem for united order sports graham's got some breaking news in a moment but i'd like to pay credit to the guys involved with car 27 because nikola molini anton ducat and john ludovic foo bear remember those replays we were having of the race start yes fubar was the one going right and towards the wall so a horror start they still finish the race in second place we'll be back racing again here in italy in july with the four hours of monza so be sure to join bye for now [Music] | European Le Mans Series |

85RnblcQ6d8 | https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=85RnblcQ6d8 | Watch for CO! | Transitioning Stewart Airspace | Orange County MGJ to Sky Acres 44N | Mooney | [Music] hey folks welcome back to the channel well it's that time of year here in orange county new york where the plane gets covered take a look so we have a very action expensive pretty expensive system at the time i did not install this system um it was done by the previous owner um but it covers the prop the hub and the and the uh uh counting of the airplane it but it's in the um if this was outside plugged in i would of course attach where all the balls are supposed to go wrap around the belly of the airplane and of course it comes over here i have um two already kind of in the little spots where they should be three i don't um keeps it nice and this is the company who got it from but that keeps the plane nice and warm um because last night it got to about 22 degrees last night so that's why i decided to do it a couple days ago to keep it nice and hot and i also to notice the inside of the a little plane back there a little box thing um it's on low so don't worry i do have a little window crack so air kind of goes through it but it keeps the inside the airplane nice and warm it's about 75 80 degrees and this way all the instruments and everything in an airplane is warm this way it's not cold starting and starting up the glass cold and all that fun stuff it keeps it nice and warm for an easy start up and go instead of you know waiting um for the propane setup waiting to put the the ductwork into the front of the airplane so it gets nice and warm that could take you know 45 minutes and you get the block really warm with push with air hot air but this is plugged in the cylinders are wrapped and the oil pan has a pad so it stays at a temperature all the time and i basically get in the plane start it and it's almost in the green um in the yellow actually where the temperature gets up there uh for operating temperature so it's really cool also just like in your home this time of year we put the heat on you put the heat on in the airplane comes from the engine compartment you could have a you know you could have an exhaust leak so co co detectors uh a lot of people have those little tiny ball things you can get from aopa and those other guys and it turns colors if it's getting co in the airplane but i should have one all year i did have one and it's expired like a couple months ago and it's in the back seat so i really never look at it so but what i did was um on amazon you can check this out so i got this little co detector um it's for planes and cars um and on the front here i'll put the link in the description below but it has directions okay and it basically comes a little case you turn it on it tells you what the co is readings in the airplane it's a gasoline it'll go off if it's higher than you're supposed to have it and it comes this little case type thing here you just push it out and try to do it with the camera on here um if i can okay got it out of the case here this is basically what it is it takes a little watch battery in here you open it up and there's a little watch battery it should last a year plus um and it's nice nice and digital it's small you know i really can't you know size my palm well it's a little bit smaller than my palm um and then it comes with a little sticky 3m tape you take this off you can stick it anywhere in the plane that you want or not whatever you want to do but that's a pretty cool thing so i'm going to have it i'm going to put it on the description below so you guys can take a look and see if that's something you want to do instead of those you know those flimsy things just stick on the dash everybody has this is pretty obviously really pretty accurate if you have the heat on and the co you know at that point if it's there can definitely get in the cockpit pretty quickly and if you don't have the heat on so just a couple little things you know and we should have it all year round i'm guilty of that i had that cheap one that expired and it's in the back seat um and so i got that um from another guy who i was talking to who referred me to that so it's pretty cool so he had his for a couple years and had no issues so it's pretty cool to have so take a look at that um today why i plugged the plane in the other night is that today we are gonna go to mount pocono um mike papa oscar to pick up pat in a little bit so i'm gonna pick up him he's dropping his plane off over at moyer aviation and i'm gonna fly him back to morristown and from morristown i'm flying back to orange county so orange county to mount pocono now pocono to morristown morristown back with my home airport orange county new york mike golf juliet right guys stick around enjoy the show see in a bit hey guys so change of plans quickly we're going to fly to sky acres to get fuel so we're going to transition through um stuart international airspace and i think pickipsy airport might be might not be close but if they're open we'll transition through that airspace as well um pat's a little delayed like always right and from greenville uh from um sky acres we're going to fly to mount pocono stick around oh and the plane's out and of course across the way there is take flight aviation all right see you guys dine on sky view [Music] [Applause] [Music] orange county three delta charlie on the upwind runway four left close traffic message that's probably going to say the barometer setting we'll get there well folks welcome back to the channel [Music] uh we are at orange county like always like i said before we're going to take a ride to sky acres because pat is usually late for everything um and phillip the five-eighths goal unless he takes off before i get here then we'll go straight to mount pocono which i highly doubt it um so we'll we'll see how that goes maybe i'll call them you guys can hear them yeah everything's so good so far it's a beautiful night to fly um it's really nice it is 45 degrees out actually the winds are calm radio it's been nice and crisp what does that mean the plane can take off like a bat out of hell right right the air is nice and thick and the performance of these airplanes are awesome this time of year now let's close it you know the other thing is i noticed i haven't worn a jacket a long time and a sweatshirt underneath is that it's like a gain 100 pounds because the seat belt i had like let the seat belt out a little bit like jeez mike uh i just lost a cup i just lost a couple pounds here and i felt like i gained a couple pounds charlie crosswind turn the jacket runway forward long sleeve shirt you know you lose a couple inches you gain a couple inches that's okay i'm gonna close this door because right now it is cold out there okay traffic diamond 908 delta sierra is about eight miles to the east you're gonna be over flying a field for a left downwind for runway for orange county actually contain a little bit a lot of birds also need to get out of the way here looks like it might be a pits coming up here um don't know who owns that i don't think i've ever seen him around here before i know [Applause] so we got a lot of cameras going let's not talk about that let me tell you editing my videos is getting a little bit longer and

always yelling about something so let's go direct to uh for for november does that sound about right um look at that sierra is two miles on the field from the east at three thousand four hundred for uh right to your job for a left downwind runway four orange county uh diamond you can go ahead of us not quite ready yet thank you though okay did you good yeah just one place all right so we're going to line up here somebody short base to final round the headquarters heading is zero seven five and i'm gonna go to thirty twenty five hundred we don't need to go hide across the river there orange county three delta charlie and then uh let's put the heading bug on zero seven five like the auto pilot would actually do something bug twenty five hundred upstairs over the field two thousand uh we're gonna do a zero five zero zero seven five heading i did that uh and that's really about it 1 100 the weather one more time here orange county airport montgomery new york automated weather

one thousand seven hundred for two thousand five hundred requests in the transit to your airspace north of the 84 we're going to sky acres approved race remember thanks sir okay so we got the transition approved let's pull the power back no pumps coming off approaching altitude like i'll keep the lane light on we're transitioning to airspace okay looking good two thousand five hundred that's our up gears up they're trimmed okay to highway in the sky 2500 on the skyview hdx from dynon love this display love this mooney looking good we'll fly too fast going here we'll pull the power back a little more 22 and a half over go 24. yeah mooney is an awesome airplane i know i have one and it's almost like hey you know you're talking about the plane you fly all the time but awesome airplane uh you know uh he needs to really get in the social media platform to really try to pull in new customers um like the other manufacturers are doing to make a wow factor for these planes because i gotta tell you they're really good in flight they really are they're really stable and flight they handle the weather they handle you know wind shear they handle crosswinds landings pretty good they got big wings they're good for gliding god forbid you know and it's it's an awesome all-around airplane it really is the mid body is a little bit longer than this one need a little more room in the back but i have a great time in this airplane i'm not that burning i'm not burning that much fuel oh it's fun oh yeah i wish the mooney would uh if you're watching probably not not my little tower but we're gonna be departing to the south but if you're watching get in the social media platform really push your product it's an awesome product awesome improvement beautiful night to fly perfect uh let's see i'm gonna go over to stewart tower i'm sorry uh hudson valley they call but it's the gypsy um towers one two four zero zero i don't think they're there but it changes sometimes it's not on the uh atus or uh sometimes not even known after closed store tower mooney eights i remember requesting a frequent change to uh hudson valley number one free shampoo good day thank you sir see your way back okay that's good let's get 124 let's see if they're there anybody home beautiful they got the hudson river to our right the hudson valley it's a beautiful beautiful thing here in the northeast um the videos don't do it justice i got to be honest with you but that's looking down towards the south down by the towards that that'll take it down to new york city of course got the hudson valley lots of rivers still to our right straight ahead i should say and then you have the mountain the layout towards the north area of new york it's beautiful to fly around here of course stewart is right over there a lot of cool things to fly around here hey pikachu tower mooney 688 so november i don't think anybody's home we'll do is to play it safe um go up to 2700 let's just do 2700 and get up there a little above 2700 just in case someone's there and hudson valley traffic mooney it's november is about the four miles to the west to be transitioning uh north of the uh airfield 2700 going to sky acres that's the valley traffic looking good just flying good oh we're out of their airspace anyway well not really let's go a little bit higher out of their air space 28 it's pretty easy to transition i know uh you know a lot of people are just afraid to talk to the towers these guys are really cool i mean atc guys are and women are just awesome you know you might get a cranky one here there but they might be having a bad day they're trapped in a room all day and pushing buttons and worrying about their sector and their traffic and making sure you're not making a mistake it's a lot especially when it's really busy you know when er you know when these commercial flights are back and running 100 right now they're a little slow but they're all still short-handed because they people are not working it's it's a lot of pressure on them i give them a lot of credit for having um that responsibility of hanging over their shoulders you know we're dealing with people's lives on the grounds in the air you know and if someone has a you know uh a mayday call you got to worry about you know you know trying to figure where they can land and where they're at so they take a piece of that emergency and take it you know personal they want to get you safe they take that very personal um and it doesn't work out you know they also get depressed and you know they feel like it's their fault something happens i mean i get it but atc guys thank you so much for everything you guys do really we i really appreciate it and a lot of all of aviators appreciate what you guys do on a regular basis 24 7 to keeping us all safe so thank you okay so we're about three minutes away we're gonna pull well we're ready to cut the power back a little bit we're still doing a buck 50 over the ground ground speed uh 146 147 148 in the air here 22 and a half to 24 and a half settings here um we're looking good so uh we have let's listen to i already have that down here two two point eight sky acres and see if anything going on over there go back we'll go to 2000 inches here 2-0 i'm sorry inches okay one [Applause] gives you all the information you need which is nice no weather reporting final shortcut [Applause] altitude is 17 so let's put 17 as a reminder and then we'll take a look and see what runways we'll be using one seven or three five right in front of us light is already on everything looks good let's slow us down now all right we're all looking good here [Music] that's why i like to go go transition through poughkeepsie and stuart because you go you can see i don't know if you can see in this map here but we just got out of poughkeepsie's airspace which is right here so an airport's right here in front of us about three miles three and a half miles if you're at if you go over it at 2700 you're gonna know in a moonee especially altitude you got a nose dive it down and then you're over speed and you're trying to pull the power back so i'd rather just get the practice with atc now see what's going on um and go transition to the airspace lower so i have to do all this stuff extra stuff it looks like it favors one seven [Applause] about two and a half miles out to the west i'll be playing over the field look at the split stock uh sounds like one seventh one okay let's take a look at ourselves no one's in the traffic pattern there's no traffic now okay uh to be looking for you mooney copy i'll be looking for you also i have you on my screen we will keep an eye out we are just over the field at sky acres and then looks like we're using one seven so we'll make the over the field for the left downwind for one seven sky acres and we're descending through one thousand six hundred okay sounds like no issue um you have a lot of people in shoots with an engine on their back they know i forget what it's called excuse me if i just um and you have planes you don't need adsb the cubs are a lot of cups around here so you got to keep an eye out you're not going to see them okay so let's get situated here and sky acres traffic that mooney is midfield left downwind for one seven skyacres looking for traffic okay and rooney has beaten the one seven numbers downwind one seven [Music] [Applause] okay so looking good that's characters traffic uh you got a rubber tiger waiting to take off on three five once everyone's know it's one seven is a win favoring free faster or one seven just curious i can turn around um the winds are favoring three five but there's really no wind okay i'll cop it i'll continue down to one seven right there okay gas another carriage fixtures coming in prop gas under carriage mixture prop water speed skyrocketers traffic mooney's left base for one seventh leaving altitude is the sun is blinding me and sky acres skyhawk is about 45 for 177 that's characters traffic uh tiger waiting to take 1235 once the uh plane arrives and uh departs from one seven yeah there's a cessna hall in the takeoff one seven sky acres okay gas undercarriage mixture prop squash for speed coming in flat for full trim wow [Applause] sky all right check that gear one more time guys right here mixer prop speed all right we're fast it's okay back up to the top all right look at that perfect it was dead here so technically 35 is runway to use i know there's some traffic taken off so i decided to use that [Music] let's go off the runway aircraft ready to take off at sky acres we'll extend our downwind a little bit so you can get out okay that's not taking all 400 [Music] mpo uh to pick up that guy we'll see you guys in the next one like what i'm doing subscribe to the channel i appreciate that and probably fun 101 gmail.com any questions you might have and i'll see you guys in the next one

Kfljiw4SgKw | https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Kfljiw4SgKw | Truth & Justice Vigil with Anouk Shambrook - 7/13/21 | welcome welcome so stacy was kind enough to give me permission to do a meditation from my tradition so i am excited to share that with you and i know some people might still be rolling in into the zoom world uh but i'll just go ahead and get started and say thank you each of you for joining i know that uh we have busy lives and especially those of you who keep showing up i appreciate the consistence and i i give a special shout out to the folks of color joining us thank you pleasure to have you um so i'm going to invite folks to grab a piece of paper and a pen because we will be kind of journaling a little bit after we do a meditation and maybe i'll just have folks drop into the chat what's the weather like on the inside you know if we were to imagine that there's a weather report whether it's inside our body or inside our emotions it could be clear skies cloudy skies uh stormy clear still let's go ahead and drop into the chat so we can all become present with where we are how we are steady and calm what's the mother like inside windy and we welcome it all there's no judgment that's the beauty of this work is refreshing drizzle oh yeah you must be in a hot place balmy flurries yeah i know that one storm's threatening on the horizon ah beautiful yeah get you coming into the space and sharing the wholeness of how you are in this moment sticky sticky fingers apologizing no problem no problem so just to introduce myself my name is anook shambrook i am the daughter of immigrants from haiti in ireland i identify as black and my parents were raised catholic but they went to india and got exposed to buddhism so they taught me to ki uh to meditate when i was a kid and they also taught me this idea that you can experience things that go beyond what science understands i really like that um and i read the down physics in high school and i loved that there was this science that somehow was speaking to these mysteries and paradoxes that i was finding in eastern religions so i went to colombia i was a physics major and went on to get my phd in astrophysics and then i became ill and really had to look at my life as you're theoretically supposed to do in buddhism but often you know we it's just a mental exercise we don't really feel it feel it until later in life i thought wow when i'm on my deathbed what do i want to look back on and that was um that was when i switched fields i really wanted to be of service and and so here we are a lot of the work that i do is bringing different tools to help people transform their hearts and their minds and to reconnect with their hearts some of what i do is working with the unconscious through aware ego consulting and some of it is trauma resilience i recognize some of you from the last time i offered a teaching here where we were talking about trauma and how to tune into the body and come back into our resilient zone so that we can have some of these challenging conversations about race so today what we're going to explore uh well first i'll give you an overview i will offer a little background of the practice we'll do called tonglen then we'll be going into the guided meditation then we'll have short dyads for you to share what arose view in the meditation and then we'll have a q a and as always before we dive into a practice we we establish our orientation and our intention because that greatly impacts how we perceive and receive information and experiences um now sometimes um there are folks who are new to buddhism um and also sometimes uh there's great power in ritual and tradition and all being able to come together with the same ritual and tradition and from time to time sometimes it's helpful to mix it up a little sometimes we can get a little bit on cruise control and so in that spirit i'm going to be kind of asking questions and to ask you to feel into the truth of what do you actually take refuge in in your life right now and so while we take refuge i invite you to feel into something bigger than yourself that you can take refuge in and you can rest into that protects you and if it feels supportive you can put one hand on your heart to bring your attention to a felt sensation of refuge and so in practice these days is refuge the earth where gravity always offers you a place of belonging no matter what country or city you're in is refuge some of your well ancestors without whom you wouldn't be here today is your refuge a spiritual teacher or spiritual being in whom you can take refuge or is it a philosophical or spiritual set of teachings a spiritual community aligned with your core values or a felt sense of profound truth or unconditional love so i'm just going to give you a moment to feel into in practice what are you taking refuge in these days and today what would you like to intentionally take refuge in during this gathering so the invitation is to feel into something that you deeply resonate with and then in mahayana buddhism we always like to establish our motivation to not just practice for ourselves but for the sake of all beings and one doorway to that motivation is the south african phrase ubuntu and that can be loosely translated as i am because we are so i invite you to feel into how we are all interconnected all of us on this zoom call as well as other two-legged four-legged winged and guild creatures and even the plants so i invite you to breathe in and out for a cycle as you breathe in breathing in your attention to benefit all beings and as you breathe out to breathe out that offering and if you have your hand on your chest you can relax your hand and i'll give a little introduction to this practice of tallman so tong men is a practice in the tibetan buddhist tradition and it's also known as taking and sending so this is different from the meta practice that some of you may know or meta is loving kindness you might give to yourself or give to others but tonglen is actually about reversing our usual logic of avoiding suffering and seeking pleasure and i have to say as humans most of us have that that habit that conditioning in a very simple way in tongan practice with every in-breath we will be visualizing taking in the pain of others and with every out breath we will send whatever would being ease joy freedom and in the process of doing this practice we become liberated from age-old patterns of selfishness and we end up feeling love for both ourselves and others so tong then awakens our compassion and introduces us to a far bigger view of reality it introduces us to the unlimited spaciousness of awareness that is beyond space and beyond time so in this moment i invite you to tune into something that has no beginning and no end and by doing this practice we begin to connect with the open dimension of our being the foundation for it is really dropping into something that's out of our ordinary thinking mind and [Music] there's there's this sense uh traditionally in our daily lives to have a sense of separation a sense that i'm here and everything is out there and the culture of newtonian physics you know that it's linear it's either or it's challenging when you encounter a contradiction and there's an african logic called diunital cognition which is inclusive in both and an undivided whole where something can be one thing and another thing at the same time without contradicting itself and you know you could say that's the spirit of modern physics and the wave power uh wave particle duality that people were initially flabbergasted to find out that light could both be a particle and a and how it manifested depended on the environment so in buddhism we speak of a metaphor where often we look at the waves of the ocean as individual objects individual events and we forget that the waves are part of a larger hole the ocean [Music] and we humans can be a bit similar where we're conditioned to perceive ourselves as separate from everything else so if we approached tong men from our ordinary thinking mind which has been swimming in the culture of dichotomy and duality then the thought of voluntarily taking on the suffering of others can sound crazy but if instead we first connect with the ground of our being our essence that cannot be harmed if we relax into something far faster than our thinking mind and trust in something that may not be visible but can be felt it changes the whole experience of taking on the suffering of others it allows us to become larger than hope and fear larger than good person bad person larger than all the contradictions and from this place we can transmute energy so at this point um i'm still kind of introducing tongan and an example of someone who is quite extraordinary at this was elder bernard lafayette he is a contemporary of dr martin luther king jr he's fighting for racial justice and when the ku klux klan member had a gun to the back of his head and was about to shoot him it is said that elder lafayette turned and looked the shooter straight in the eyes with no fear and no hate so even when his life was literally on the line he was able to connect with something greater and it is said that what he did was a form of tong tonglen breathing in the suffering of a man who must have been so disconnected with his own heart with his own human humanity to be trying to kill elder lafayette who posed no threat it is said that the clan member pulled the trigger and the gun didn't shoot and apparently he did this three more times and the gun faltered and on the fourth time it is said that the shooter left weeping and there are many stories like this uh about tibetans especially in the 50s and 60s who were imprisoned tortured and killed by the chinese so these are examples of olympian tonglen practitioners and while we may not become that strong in this lifetime we can aspire to build our tongue and muscles so the first step is to drop into a place that is bigger than our ordinary mind so i invite you to recall a moment when you were in awe perhaps gazing into the eyes of a newborn baby or for those of you who happen to grow up around nature maybe you can recall a moment as a child of like being in awe of nature and then effortless moment where there's no separation between you and nature it could be a moment if you're a dancer when you shift from dancing to becoming the dance or the music is dancing you or an artist sometimes it's difficult to capture in words but tap into the experience that sense of allowing a flow for some of us it's in sports feeling in the zone or perhaps floating in the ocean have you ever felt like the boundaries of your body dissolve and the fluid inside feels like it blends with the fluid outside you feel part of a whole gazing up at the night sky looking into what feels like infinite space have you ever felt your mind crack open at the vastness at the beauty so i would invite you to recall an experience that you've had where you felt connected to a sense of openness maybe something that can't be captured in words but can be felt that is spontaneously present sometimes exquisitely alive and perhaps you felt one with everything so whatever that experience is for you i'll be referring to it as uh relaxing into the ground of your being or into the infinite part of you and we'll tap into that during the meditation [Music] so traditionally tong line is very simple as i said you connect with the infinite or the ground of being or your buddha nature you take in people suffering with the in-breath and breathe out relief and offerings on the out breath and in this version of tong ren i've added the elements of fire and earth and that's optional you can do a more traditional one with pema children [Music] online so invite folks to do a little humming and rocking it helps us come into the body come into the present moment [Music] you keep humming and i'll just guide a little bit focus on the vibration of the hum and your body see if you can feel it in your throat in your chest in your belly [Music] see if you can feel it all the way down in your feet bathing your body in the vibration i invite you to do a brief body scan letting the humming and rocking go starting with your feet noticing any pleasant or neutral sensations your calves your knees thighs pelvis belly lower back upper back chest hands forearms [Music] upper arms shoulders neck and head [Music] noticing any pleasant or neutral sensations notice your in-breath and out breath and i invite you to notice the contact between your legs whatever you're sitting on and if it feels comfortable i invite you to allow just a little bit more of your weight to sink into the chair that is supporting you or whatever it is you're sitting relying on see if we can surrender just a little bit and allow the earth to support us and i invite you to imagine that you're sitting at the sea you can see the waves you can smell the salt in the ocean you can feel the breeze on your skin it's a perfect temperature there are small steady waves breaking on the shore then i invite you to expand your awareness into the room where you are feeling the space around you perhaps hearing different sounds in the space around you then i invite you to hear the space the silence and not just the sound perhaps resting on the space between the inhale and the exhale now i invite you to connect again with that infinite part of you that ground of your being an essence that can't be harmed whether it's in the flow or in awe of nature whatever form it takes being inseparable with everything from this place i invite you to feel the aspiration that everyone experience this openness this freedom right here in this moment so now i invite you to think of a particular person that you would like to support and offer this tongan meditation to and bring that person to your heart mind and you can breathe at a natural pace i'll be giving you guidance for your in-breath and out breath but you can just apply it whenever you're naturally breathing in or breathing out no need to wait for my prompts so thinking of someone who you care for who could use some support someone having some difficulty and let yourself be with that person and feel the texture of their challenge or difficulty feel what an embodied sense of their suffering is then i invite you with your in-breath to breathe in feelings of heaviness or heat or claustrophobia or some kind of embodied sense of their challenge and breathing out feelings of coolness lightness ease freshness if you like you can allow the heat of the sun in your heart to melt whatever that person is suffering from transforming it in our heart and allowing it to pass through to the earth to be composted so breathing in we take in the negative energy through all the pores of the body and breathing out we radiate positive energy completely through all the pores in your body i invite you to synchronize this with your in and out breaths as we breathe out we infuse the person energetically with whatever qualities would support them in this moment it might be relief of physical pain it can be relief of financial stress could be feeling loved for who they are it could be something that they may not even consciously know they long for but the cells in their body remember breathing in the suffering breathing out really transforming it in the fire of your heart now i invite you to extend this offering to everyone who has a similar challenge or suffering as that person you called to mind so breathing in the suffering of all those people and breathing out compassion ease love freedom now you can allow that person and all those who suffer from something similar to dissolve and i invite you to call to your heart mind george floyd let yourself be with him notice what happens in your body from this infinite place from our essence that can never be harmed we breathe in his suffering [Music] in whatever embodied way it comes what kind of texture it has whether it's a heat or heaviness or a sense of claustrophobia we transform that suffering in our heart offering it to the earth to be composted as we breathe out we breathe out feelings of coolness lightness and freshness as we breathe out we offer all the qualities that would support him and if it's easier to envision someone who is still living and has been in a similar situation and survived and go with whatever resonates with you that allows you to breathe in the suffering with all the pores of your body and as you breathe out radiating positive energy and whatever it is that would serve their ease their freedom from suffering their joy and if there's any contraction within you as you do this invite you to reconnect with that sense of awe or openness or being in the flow breathing in the suffering and breathing out relief and whatever qualities would support that person now i invite you to extend that compassion to george floyd's family those who've lost loved ones to murder by the police because of their skin color extend that compassion to other black and brown skinned people who live in fear fear for their lives literally giving them a moment of break breathing in their suffering and breathing out really whatever it is they need in this moment gradually as we bring the meditation to our clothes we can allow george floyd his family all the black and brown skinned people who live in fear for their lives and allow that to dissolve and then to dedicate the merit if there's any goodness from this practice we pray that it benefits all beings however it is in your heart you'd like to offer any goodness that has arisen okay so i'm going to give you a couple minutes to journal or draw about what was your experience that you tapped into near the beginning [Music] of some experience where you felt connected with everything or in the flow or in awe of nature what was that that felt sense of connecting with an infinite part of [Music] you then i invite you to journal about what it was like to take in the suffering to go against our conditioning of seeking pleasure and trying to avoid pain what was it like to welcome in the pain and [Music] transform it and offering ease so we're going to go into breakout rooms and i'm going to ask folks to share um to share first what what was it that uh you connected with that felt like a infinite sense of a part of you a moment of awe connected with things and and then to share how the meditation works for you so we'll go ahead and have each person share for four minutes and then we'll switch and uh i'll send you a little message in the breakout loans when we're ready to switch and i would ask whoever has the birthday soonest gets to speak first so so looking forward to seeing you all back here in about eight minutes welcome back everyone thank you for your trust and journeying with each other and together as a group so i'd like to invite folks to share maybe we'll share about the first part of when are moments when you feel like you're relaxing into the ground of being or feeling part of the flow or maybe having a moment of awe they say that when we're born we have that openness we haven't we haven't created this sense of separation yet and there's a wholeness and it's extraordinary and so when we look into the eyes of a newborn it's like it awakens that within us that we sometimes forget experientially and then what happens of course is the baby starts to learn things and then have a sense of separation and so all of us you know in our path ideally come to be able to recognize those moments when we feel that wholeness that profound stillness that profound inseparability of everything and when we recognize it and value it then we can learn to drop in more often and the more often that we drop in the more freedom we offer people so imagine like as each of you were sharing there was kind of a vibe you know and imagine if you had that presence in more of your life like that's an offering and the last time i was here i was talking about our capacity to deepen our resilience zone so that we can offer even when times are more challenging and these experiences are like resources that we can call to our mind body and it's it's really an offering really a tremendous offering so with that then i'll ask uh how was the tonglen practice of going against our habit of wanting pleasure and trying to avoid the pain and instead saying bring it all right bring it how was that and you can also distinguish between the first part where i kind of let you choose someone of your choice you know someone you care for who's having a problem a challenge and then the second part whether it's george floyd or many people who've been in that situation but survived it if if at the beginning before we talked about connecting with you know an infinite part of you if i'd said oh you're going to breathe in the suffering and then once you breathe in the suffering you're going to breathe in the suffering of anyone similar to that then i don't think your first guest would have been oh i'm going to feel such a sense of calm all right yeah so there's there's a lot of power in this practice and i would invite you to to consider practicing it even if it's just for a few minutes each day and i really um i commend you for catching the dissociation um you know a lot of us have experienced trauma and the dissociation meaning to like check out from the body is one description in case people don't know exactly what that means um then in some cases that is what has allowed us to survive and like people who have been enslaved you know when they have been suffering from from whipping from raping from all sorts of torture then these survival mechanisms of the the body are brilliant um but over time part of our practice is bringing healing to ourselves so that we have greater capacity to be present with others and so i just really want to you know say uh hats off that you notice this dissociation it's in the noticing that we begin to have choice when we don't notice and it just happens then we're checked out and we kind of think that things are fine i i i would add that um i i imagine that bringing on george floyd might have had a different flavor than the first visualization and that so often we don't open even though especially mahayana buddhists we're supposed to do it for the benefit of all beings but in practice you know most white folks even if it's unconscious have closed their hearts to black people like if they hadn't there's no way that people could continue to see the the violence that happens even just not having access to decent schools access to to food there's there are so many levels at which white supremacy is impacting our society and and there has to be this disconnection from our hearts in order to be okay with that and to not say no you know and we've just seen it so many times when something in the news if it's a white person the reaction is completely different thank you tracy thank you very much resma medicum in his book my grandmother's hands speaks to the trauma of white folks generations leading to you know their actions and so i think one level of offering is may you heal your internal trauma so that you don't have to keep blowing that dirty pain on others um and then so it can be a sense of healing i think another is a sense of belonging like just a sense of feeling loved so that you don't have to be putting someone down and making an other and actively oppressing them in order for you to have an illusion of feeling okay uh so then i will invite other people to chime in you know part of my training is in working with trauma and healing trauma and so i do think that there's a fine line between on one hand the wisdom of this practice of going against our habit of going towards pleasure and away from suffering versus we don't want to re-traumatize ourselves and that's why the whole you could say kind of resourcing practice that we did is an essential element and you can um in the traditional atonement practice then you're dropping into your buddha nature as the foundation for doing the practice but you can also experiment with bringing in other resources and so it could be uh a well ancestor it could be a pet it could be like just whatever helps you it could i mean in in vajrayana of course we have deities there's like a whole pantheon to choose from uh there are wrathful ones there are loving ones um but really uh to be honest i have a whole council of folks who've got my back and when i'm encountering a challenge especially around race i drop into knowing that i'm not on my own and it could even potentially um part of your your counsel can include a moment on this call when we were coming together around experiences where we felt that that wholeness so i would definitely invite folks to resource and to to tune into what what's supportive of you so it might seem like i'm going against the initial intent of tonglen but what i'm saying is i believe that we each have a wisdom of how much to engage and based on where we're at and when to relax a little bit so that we don't re-traumatize ourselves because the trauma is real i'm going to ask you to to ask that question again because we've journeyed a little bit just to drop the pebble into the field and let it ripple again okay i think i asked the question about what is what do you anek imagine sending out after taking in as a black or brown bodied person the suffering of of another's white supremacy i also i feel like as black folks the degree of suffering i think opens our heart to a profound degree i think we have a tremendous amount of wisdom and access to inner freedom that's a huge gift it's great that you notice the resistance that's the edge of our growth noticing the resistance when we notice we can start to have choice around it i appreciate you guiding us in that practice on it really brought to the fore for me how much energy it really takes to stay disconnected to turn away from the suffering of the other that's right next to me or right in front of me and you know how how conditioned my mind is like oh this is going to be heavy this is going to be dark this is going to be difficult this is going all the things that it's not when i lean in like opening to one another we don't know what it's going to be and it's usually opening no one said it's going to be easy and straightforward but can i relax into that so it's not necessarily a practice i i my go-to practice but it's a tremendous reminder that we we are indeed connected to one another our my breath to your breath too and that it it really does matter what we send out to one another that really does matter so i just put my email address in the chat because it's possible that in the support of the group maybe it was a journey but then afterwards if you have some reaction and you want a little support with it you can feel free to contact me um but i do hope that you revisit those amazing experiences that you have had uh connecting with the infinite with the heart with the ground of being with the profound stillness with your inner wisdom and heart and uh why wouldn't that be a daily practice you know like such a such a gift and then really offering that that presence and that capacity to others so we'll just dedicate one last time there's any goodness that was generated by our beautiful sharing and our honesty and our openness both sharing as a group and sharing in dyads we pray that this be of benefit and that all beings find their true home reconnect with their hearts and find freedom thank you so much for bringing your fierce brave wise self and thank you all for joining us this evening and as usual please consider supporting a new livelihood so that she may continue to bring this her beautiful self and wisdom and guide us all in this work um jessica is going to drop a link in the chat to the common ground website and you can find the truth and justice vigil and find a nuke's name you can also just venture to the common ground website on your own but um it is because of the generosity of people just like you that allows us to hold space and invite teachers from all over to to meet us at these intersections and i'll just add one last thing but since a lot of what we're doing is uh hoping to lay a foundation where we can have genuine conversations about race and begin to transform our conditioning around that then next time you are in that kind of conversation maybe you remember a little tongue then practice maybe experiment and see see how it goes but ideally you practice you know starting small you know i i jumped in with george floyd but you can start tumbling practice with your pet okay you can start building the muscle so with that thank you thank you so much everyone | Common Ground Meditation Center | UCw5A8RUBeBPc6PCQ2z_kLCg |

roosevelt this is a liberox recording all liberocs recordings are in the public domain for more information or to volunteer please visit librox.org recording by daisy 55. autobiography of theodore roosevelt chapter 7 the war of america the unready part 3. at san antonio we in train for tampa in various sociological books by authors of continental europe there were jeremiads as to the way in which service in the great european armies with their minute and machine like efficiency and regularity tends to dwarf the capacity for individual initiative among the officers and men there is no such danger for any officer or man of a volunteer organization in america when our country with playful light heartiness has practiced or has pranced into war without making any preparations for it i know no larger or finer field for the display of an advanced individualism than that which opened before us as we went from san antonio to tampa camped there and embarked on a transport for cuba nobody ever had any definite information to give us and whatever information we on earth on our own account was usually wrong each of us had to show an alert and not over scrupulous self-reliance in order to obtain food for his men provender for his horses or transportation of any kind for any object one lesson early impressed on me was that if i wanted anything to eat it was wise to carry it with me and if any new war should arise i would earnestly advise the men of every volunteer organization always to feed upon the belief that their supplies will not turn up and to take every opportunity of getting food for themselves tampa was a scene of the wildest confusion there were miles of tracks loaded with cars of the contents of which nobody seemed to have any definite knowledge general miles who was supposed to have supervision over everything and general schaefer who had charge of the expedition were both there but thanks to the fact that nobody had had any experience in handling even such a small force as ours about 17 000 men there was no semblance of order wood and i were bound that we should not be left behind when the expedition started when we were finally informed that it was to leave next morning we were ordered to go to a certain track to meet a train we went to the track but the train never came then we were sent to another track to meet another train again it never came however we found a cold train of which we took possession and the conductor partly under duress and partly in a spirit of friendly helpfulness took us down to the equay all kinds of other organizations infantry and calvary regular and volunteer were arriving at the quay and wandering around it and there was no place where we could get any specific information as to what transport we were to have finally wood was told to get any ship you can get which is not already assigned he borrowed without leave a small motorboat and commandeer the transport yucatan when asked by the captain what his authority was he reported that he was acting by orders of general schaefer and directed the ship to be brought to the dark he had already sent me word to be ready as soon as the ship touched the pier to put the regiment aboard her i found that she had already been assigned to a regular regiment and to another volunteer regiment and as it was evident that not more than half of the men assigned to her could possibly get on i was determined that we should not be among the men left off the volunteer regiment offered a comparatively easy problem i simply marched my men passed them to the lottery place and held the gangway with the regulars i had to be a little more diplomatic because that commandeer a lieutenant colonel was my superior rank and also doubtless knew his rights he sent word to me to make way to draw my regiment off to one side and let his take possession of the gangway i could see the transport coming in and could dimly make out woods figure thereon accordingly i played for time i sent respectful requests through his officers to the commander of the regulars entered into parlays and made protestations until the transport got near enough so that by yelling at the top of my voice i was able to get into a highly constructive communication with wood what he was saying i had no idea but he was evidently speaking in my own responsibility i translated into directions to hold the gangway and so informed the regulars that i was under the orders of my superior and of a ranking officer and to my great regret etc etc could not give way as they desired as soon as the transport was fast we put our men aboard at the double half of the regiment got on and the other half and the other volunteer regiment went somewhere else we were kept several days on the transpo which was jammed with men so that it was hard to move about on the deck then we got underway and we streamed slowly down to santiago here we disembarked higly bigly just as we had embarked different ports of different outfits were jumbled together and it was no light labor afterwards to assemble the various batteries for instance one transport has guns and the other locks for the guns the two not getting together for several days after one of them had been landed soldiers went here provisions there and who got assured first largely depended upon individual activity fortunately for us my former naval aide when i have been assistant secretary to the navy lieutenant commander sharp a first class fellow was there in command of a leadership to which i had succeeded in getting him appointed before i left the navy department he gave us a black pilot who took our transport right in shore the others flown like a flock of sheep and we disembarked with our rifles ammunition belts and not much else in theory it was out of our turn but if we had not disembarked then heaven only knows when our turn would have come and we did not intend to be out of the fighting if we could help it i carried some food in my pockets and a light waterproof coat which was my sole camp equipment for the next two or three days 24 hours after getting ashore we marched from dequai where we had landed to subuni also on the coast reaching it doing a terrific downpour rain when this was over we built a fire dried our clothes and ate whatever we had brought with us we were brigaded with the first and tenth regular cavalry under brigadier general sam young he was a fine type of the american regular like general chaffee another of the same type he had entered the army in the civil war as a private later when i was president it was my good fortune to make each of them in succession lieutenant general of the army of the united states when general young retired and general chaffey was to take his place the former sent to the latter his three stars to wear his first official presentation with a note that they were from private young to private chaffey [Music] the two fine old fellas have served in the ranks one in the calvary one in the infantry in their golden youth in the days of the great war nearly half a century before each had grown gray in a lifetime of honorable service under the flag and each closed his active career in command of the army general young was one of the few men who had given and taken wounds with the saber he was an old friend of mine and when in washington before starting for the front he told me that if we got in his brigade he would put us into the fighting all right he kept his word general young had actively superintended getting his two regular regiments or at least a squadron of each off the transports and late that night he sent his word that he had received permission to move at dawn and strike the spanish advance position he directed us to move along a ridge trail with our two squadrons one squadron haven't been left at tampa with the two other squadrons of regulars one of the first and one of the tenth under his personal supervision he marched for the valley trail accordingly wood took us along the hill trail early next morning till we struck the spaniards and begin our fight just as the regulars begin the fight in the valley trail it was a mountainous country covered with thick jungle a most confusing country and i had an awful time trying to get into the fight and trying to do what was right when in it and all the while i was thinking that i was the only man who did not know what i was about and that all the others did whereas as i found out later pretty much everybody else was as much in the dark as i was there was no surprise we struck the spaniards exactly where we had expected then wood halted us and put us into the fight deliberately and in order he ordered us to deploy alternately by troops to the right and left of the trail giving our senior major cody a west printer and as good a soldier as ever war uniform the left wing while i took the right wing i was told if possible to connect with the regulars who were on the right in theory this was excellent but as the jungle was very dense the first troop that deployed to the right vanished for with and i never saw it again until the fight was over having a frightful feeling meanwhile that i made me course marshall for losing it the next troop deployed to the left under brody then the third came along and i started to deploy it to the right as before by the time the first platoon had gotten into the jungle i realized that it likewise would disappear unless i kept hold of it i managed to keep possession of the last tune one learns fast in a fight and i march this platoon in my next two troops and call them through the jungle without any attempt to deploy until we got on the firing line this sounds simple but it was not i did not know when i had gotten on the firing line i could hear a good deal of firing some over to my right at a good distance and the rest of the left and the head i pushed on expecting to strike the enemy somewhere between soon we came to the brink of a deep valley there was a good deal of crackling of rifles way off in front of us but as they used smokeless powder we had no idea as to exactly where they were or who they were shooting at then it dawned on us that we were the target the bullets began to come overhead making a sound like the ripping of a silk dress well sometimes they kind of pop a few of my men fell and i deployed the rest making them lie down and get behind trees richard harding davis was with us and as we scanned the landscape with our glasses it was he who first pointed out to us some spanish in a trench some three quarters of a mile off it was difficult to make them out there were not many of them however we finally did make them out and we could see their conical hats for the trench was a poor one we advanced firing at them and drove them off what to do then i not had an idea the country in front fell away into a very difficult jungle field valley there was nothing but jungle all around and if i advanced i was afraid i may get out of touch with everybody and not be going in the right direction moreover as far as i could see there was now nobody in front who was shooting at us although some of the men on my left insisted that our own men had fired into us an allegation which i soon found was almost always made in such a fight and which in this case was not true at this moment some of the regulars appeared across the ravine on our right the first thing they did was to fire a volley at us but one of our first sergeants went up a tree and waved a gillion at them and they stopped firing was still going on to our left however and i was never more puzzled to know what to do i did not wish to take my men out of their position without orders for fear that i might thereby be leaving a gap if there was a spanish force which mediated an offensive return on the other hand it did not seem to me that i had been doing enough fighting to justify my existence and there was obviously fighting going on to the left i remember that i kept thinking of the refrain of the fox hunting song here's to every friend who struggled to the end in a hunting field i had always acted on this theory and no matter how discouraging appearances might be had never stopped trying to get in at the death until the hunt was actually over and now that there was work and not play on hand i tended to struggle as hard as i knew how not to be left out of any fighting into which i could with any possible priority get so i left my men where they were and started off at a trot toward where the firing was with a couple of order leads to send back for the men in case that proved advisable like most tyros i was wearing my sword which in thick jungle now and then got between my legs from that day on it always went corded in the baggage i struck the trail and began to pass occasionally dead men pretty soon i reached wood and found much to my pleasure that i had done the right thing for as i came up word was brought to him that brody had been shot and he had one sent me to take charge of the left wing it was more open country there and at least i was able to get a glimpse of my own men and exercise some control over them there was much firing going on but for the life of me i could not see any spaniards and neither could anyone else finally we made up our minds that they were shooting at us from a set of red tile ranch buildings a good way in front and these are assaulted finally charging them before we came anywhere near the spaniards who as it proved really were inside and around them abandoned them leaving a few dead men by the time i had taken possession of these buildings all firing had ceased everywhere i had not the faintest idea what had happened whether the fight was over or whether this was merely a law in the fight or whether spaniards were or whether we might be attacked again or whether we ought ourselves to attack somebody somewhere else i got my men in order and sent out small bodies to explore the ground in front who returned without finding any foe by this time as a matter of fact the spaniards were in full retreat meanwhile i was extending my line so as to get in touch with our people on the right word was brought to me that would had been shot which fortunately proved not to be true and as if this was so it meant that i must take charge of the regiment i moved over personally to inquire soon i learned that he was all right that the spanish had retreated along the main road and that colonel wood and two or three other officers were short distance away before i reached them i encountered a captain of the ninth cavalry very glum because his troopers had not been in time to take part in the fight and he congratulated me with visible effort up in my share in our first victory i thanked him quarterly not confiding in him that till that moment i myself knew exceedingly little about the victory and proceeded to where generals wheeler lawton and who had just come up in company with wood was seated on a bank they expressed appreciation of the way that i had handled my troops first on the right wing and then on the left as i was quite prepared to find i had committed some awful sin i did my best to accept this in a nonchalant manner and not to look as relieved as i felt as throughout the morning i had observed a specialist aspect of wisdom and had commandant first one and then the other wing the fight was really a capital thing for me for practically all of the men had served under my actual command and thenceforth felt an enthusiastic belief that i would lead them all right it was a week after this skirmish before the army made the advance on santiago just before this occurred general young was stricken down with fever general wheeler who had commanded the calvary division was put in general charge of the left wing of the army which fought before the city itself brigadier general sam sumner an excellent officer who had the second cavalry brigade took command of the calvary division and would took command of our brigade while to my intense delight i got my regiment therefore i had command of the regiment before the stiffest fighting occur later when wood was put in command in santiago i became the brigadier commander late in the evening we camped at el paso there were two regular officers the brigadier commandeers aids lieutenants a l mills and w e ship who were camped by a regiment each of my men had food in his have a sack but i had none and i would have gone suppleless to bed if miles and ship had not given me out of their scanty scores of big sandwich which i shared with my orderly who also had nothing next morning my body servant marshall an ex-soldier of the ninth colored calvary a fine and faithful fella had turned up and i was able in my turn to ask meals and ship who had eaten all their food the proceeding evening to take purpose with me a few hours later gallant ship was dead and mills an exceptionally able officer had been shot through the head from side to side just back of the eyes yet he lived although one eye was blinded and before i left the presidency i gave him his commission as brigadier general early in the morning our artillery began firing from the hill crest immediately in front of where our men was camped several of the regiment were killed and wounded by the shrapnel of the return fire of the spaniards one of the scrapnel bullets fell on my waist and my risk and raised a bump as big as a hurry nut but did not even break the skin then we were marched down from the hill on a muddy road through the thick jungle towards santiago the heat was great and we strolled into the fight with no definite idea on the part of anyone as to what we were to do or what would happen there was no plan that our left wing was to make a serious fight that day and as there were no plans it was naturally exceedingly hard to get orders and each of us had to act largely on his own responsibility lawton's infantry division attacked the little village of kane some miles to the right kent's infantry division and sumner's dismounted cavalry division was supposed to detain the spanish army in santiago until lawton had captured el carne spanish towns and villages however with their massive buildings are natural fortifications as the french found in a peninsula war and as both the french and our people found in mexico the spanish troops and el canadi fought very bravely as did the spanish troops in front of us and it was late in the afternoon before lawton accomplished this task meanwhile we of the left wing had by degrees become involved in a fight which toward the end became not even a colonel's fight but a squad leaders fight the cavalry division was put at the head of the line we were told to march forward cross a little river in front and then turn into the right march up alongside the stream until we connected with lawton incidentally this movement would not have brought us into touch with lawton in any event but we speedily had to abandon any thought of carrying it out the maneuver brought us within fair range of the spaniards entrenchments along the line of hills which we call the san juan hills because on one of them was a san juan block house on that day my regiment had the lead of the second brigade and we marched down the trail following entrance behind the first brigade apparently the spaniards could not make up their minds what to do as the three regular regiments of the first brigade crossed and defied along the other bank of the stream but when our regiment was crossing they began to fire at us under this flank fight it soon became impossible to continue the march the first regrade haunted deployed and finally began to fire back then our brigade was halted from time to time some of my men would fall and i sent repeated word to the word to try to get authority attacked the heels in front finally general sumner who was fighting the vision in fine shape sent word to advance the word was brought to me by mills who said that my orders were to support the regulars and an assault on the hills and that my objective would be the red tile ranch house in front on a hill which we afterwards christian kettle hill i mentioned mill saying this because it was exactly the kind of definite order the given of which does so much to ensure success in a fight as it prevents all obscurity as to what is to be done the order to attack did not reach the first brigade until after we ourselves reached it so that at first there was no doubt on a part of their officers whether they were at liberty to join in the advance i had not enjoyed the garcinia's fight at all because i had been so uncertain as to what i ought to do but the san juan fight was entirely different the spaniards had a hard position to attack it's true but we could see them and i knew exactly how to proceed i kept on horseback merely because i found it difficult to convey orders along the line as the men were laying down and it is always hard to get men to start when they cannot see whether their comrades are also gone so i rolled up and down the lines keeping them straightened out and gradually worked through line after line until i found myself at the head of the regiment by the time i had reached the lines of the regulars of the first brigade i had come to the conclusion that it was silly to stay in the valley fine at the hills because that was really where we were most exposed and that the thing to do was to try to rush the entrenchment where i struck the regulars there was no one of superior rank to mine and after asking why they did not charge and being answered that they had no orders i said i would give the order there was naturally a little reluctance shown by the elderly officer in command to accept my order so i said then let my men through sir and i marched through followed by my grinning men the young officers and the enlisted men of the regulars jumped up and joined us i waved my hat and we went up the hill and they rushed having taken it we looked across at the spaniards in the trenches under the san juan block house to our left which hawkins brigade was assaulting i ordered our men to open fire on the spaniards in the trenches memory plays funny tricks in such a fight where things happen quickly and all kinds of mental images succeed one another in a detached kind of way while the work goes on as i gave the order in question there slipped through my mind mahan's account of nelson's orders that each ship as it sailed forward if it saw another ship engaged with an enemy ship should rake the ladder as it passed when hawking soldiers captured the block house i very much elated ordered a charge on my own hook to a line of heels still farther on hardly anybody heard this order however only four men started with me three of whom were shot i gave one of them who was only wounded my canteen and water and ran back much irritated that i had not been followed which was quite justifiable because i found that nobody had heard my orders general sumner had come up by this time and i asked his permission to lead the charge he ordered me to do so and this time away we went and stormed the spanish entrenchment there was some close fighting and we took a few business we also captured the spanish provisions and ate them that night with great relish one of the items was salted flying fish by the way there were also bottles of wines and jugs of fairy spirit and as soon as possible i had these broken although not before one or two of my men had taken too much liquor lieutenant housing of the regulars and aid of general sumners brought me in order to heart where i was he could not make up his mind to return until he had spent an hour or two with us under fire the spaniards attempted a counter-attack in the middle of the afternoon but were driven back without effort all men laughing and cheering as they rose to fire because hereto they had been assaulting breast works or lying still under artillery fire and they were glad to get a chance to shoot at the spaniards in the open we lay on our arms that night and as we were drenched with sweat and had no blanket save a few we took from the dead spaniards we found even the topic night chilly before morning came during the afternoon's fighting while i was the highest officer at our immediate part of the front captain brookton and morton of the regular cavalry two as fine officers as any man could wish to have beside him in battle came along the firing line to tell me that they had heard a rumor that we might fall back and that they wish to record their emphatic protests against any such course i did not believe there was any truth in the rumor for the spaniards were utterly incapable of any effective counter-attack however late in the evening after the fight general wheeler visited us at the front and he told me to keep myself in readiness as at any moment it might be decided to fall back jack greenway was beside me when general wheeler was speaking i answered well general i really don't know whether we should obey in order to fall back we can take that city by rush and if we have to move out of here at all i should be inclined to make the rush in the right direction greenway nodded an eagle assessed the old general after a moment's pause expressed his hearty agreement and said he would see that there was no falling back he had been very sick for a couple days but sick as he was he managed to get into the fight he was a gamecock if ever there was one but he was in a very bad physical shape on the day of the fight if there had been any one in high command to supervise and press the attack that afternoon we would have gone right into santiago in my part of the line the advance was halted only because we received orders not to move forward to stay on the crest of the captured hill and hold it we are always told that fear clock in the morning courage is the most desirable kind well my men and the regulars of the calvary had just that brand of courage at about 3 o'clock in the morning after the first fight shooting began in our front and there was an alarm of a spanish advance i was never more pleased than to see the way in which the hungry tired shabby men all jumped up and ran forward to the hillcrest so as to be ready for the attack which however did not come as soon as the sun rose the spaniards again open upon us with artillery a shell burst between dave goodrich and myself blacking us with powder and killing and wounding several of the men immediately behind us next day the fight turned into a siege there was some stirring incident but for the most part it was trench work a fourth night later santiago was surrendered wood won his brigadier general ship by the capital way in which he handled his brigadier in the fight and in the following siege he was put in command of the capture city and in a few days i succeeded in the command of the brigade end of chapter 7 part 3. this recording by daisy

libarocks.org recording by daisy 55 the autobiography of theodore roosevelt chapter 7 the war of america the unready part 4 and appendix a to chapter 7. the health of the troop not good and speedily became very bad there was some descentry and a little yellow fever but most of the trouble was from a severe form of malaria fever the washington authorities had behaved better than those in actual command of the expedition at one crisis immediately after the first days fighting around santiago the latter had hinted by cable to washington that they might like to withdraw and washington had emphatically vetoed the proposal i record this all the more gladly because there were not too many gleams of good sense shown in the home management of the war although i wish to repeat that the real blame for this was rested primarily with us ourselves the people of the united states who had for years sued in military matters a policy that rendered it certain that there would be ineptitude and failure in high bases if ever a crisis came after the siege the washington show no knowledge ever of the conditions around santiago and was to keep the army there this had meant that at least three-fourths of the men would either have died or have been permanently invalided or as a virulent form of malaria widespread and there was a steady growth of dissenter and other complaints no object of any kind was to be gained by keeping the army in or near the captured city general schaefer tried his best to get the washington authorities to order the army home as he failed to accomplish anything he called a council of the division and brigade commanders and the chief medical officers to consult over the situation although i had command of a brigade i was only a colonel and so i did not attend to attend but the general for me that i was particularly wanted and accordingly i went at the council general schaefer asked the medical authorities as to conditions and they united in informing him that they were very bad and was certain to grow much worse and that in order to avoid frightful ravages from disease chiefly due to malaria the army should be sent back at once to some part of the northern united states the general then explained that he could not get the war department to understand the situation that he could not get the attention of the public and that he felt that there should be some authoritative publication which would make the war department take action before it was too late to avert the ruin of the army all who were in the room expressed their agreement then the reason for my being present came out it was explained to me by general schaeffer and by others that as i was a volunteer officer and intended immediately to return to civil life i could afford to take risks which the regular army men could not afford to take in ought not to be expected to take and that therefore i ought to make the publication in question because to incur the hostility of the war department would not make any difference to me whereas it would be destructive to the men in the regular army or to those who hoped to get into the regular army i thought this too and said i would write a letter or make a statement which would then be published brigadier general ames who was in the same position that i was also announced that he would make a statement when i left the meeting it was understood that i was to make my statement as an interview in the press the wood who was by that time brigadier general commanding the city of santiago gave me a quiet hint to put in my statement in the form of a letter to general schaefer and this i accordingly did when i had written my letter the correspondence of the associate press who had been informed by others of what had occurred accompany me to general schaefer i presented the letter to general schaefer who waved it away and said i don't want to take it do whatever you wish with it i however insisted on handling it to him whereupon he shoved it toward the correspondence of the associated press who took hold of it and i released my hope general ames made a statement direct to the correspondent and also sent the cable to the center secretary of the navy and washington a copy which he gave to the correspondent by this time the other division and brigade commanders who were present felt that they had better take action themselves they united in a round robin to general schaefer which general wood dictated and which was signed by general kent gates chaffee sumner ludlow ames and wood and by myself general wood handled this to general shaffer and it was made public by general schaefer precisely as mine was made public later i was much amused when general schaefer stated that he could not imagine how my letter and the round robin got out when i saw this statement i appreciated how wise wood had been and hinting to me not to act on the suggestion of the general that i should make a statement to the newspapers but to put my statement in the form of a letter to him as my superior officer a letter which i delivered to him both the letter and the round robin were written in general shaffer's wish and at the unanimous suggestion of all the commanding and medical officers of the fifth army corps and both were published by general shaffer general wood writes me the representative of the associated press was very anxious to get a copy of this dispatch or see it and i told him it was impossible for him to have it or see it i then went into general schaefer and stated this case to him handling him the dispatch saying the matter is now in your hands he general schaefer then said i don't care whether this gentleman has it or not and i left it then when i went back to the general told me he had given the press representative a copy of the dispatch and that he had gone to the office with it in a regiment the prime need is to have fighting men the prime virtue is to be able and eager to fight with the utmost effectiveness i have never believed that this was incompatible with other virtues on the contrary while they are of course exceptions i believe that on the average the best fighting men are also the best citizens i do not believe that a finer set of natural soldiers than the men of my regiment could have been found anywhere and they were first-class citizens in civil life also one fact may perhaps be worthy of note whenever we were in camp and so fixed that we could have regular meals we used to have a general officer's mess over which i of course decided during our entire service there was never a foul or indecent word uttered at the officer's mess i mean this literally and there was very little swearing although now and then in the fighting if there was a moment when swearing seemed to be the best method of reaching the heart of the matter it was resorted to the men i cared for most in the regiment were the men who did the best work and therefore my liking for them was obligated to take the shape of exposing them to the most fatigue and hardship of demanding from them the greatest service and of making them incur the greatest risk once i kept greenway and good rich at work for 48 hours without sleeping and with very little food fighting and digging trenches i freely sent the men for whom i cared most to where death might smite them and death more often smoke them as it did the two best officers in my regiment alan capron and buckley o'neill my men would not have respected me had i acted otherwise their creed was my creed the life even of the most useful man of the best citizen is not to be hoarded if there be need to spend it i felt and feel this is about others and of course also about myself this is one reason why i have always felt impatient contempt for the effort to abolish the death penalty on account of sympathy with criminals i am not willing to listen to arguments in favor of abolishing a death penalty so far as they are based fully on grounds of public expediency although these arguments have never convinced me but in as much as without hesitation in the performance of my duty i have again and again sent good and gallon and upright men to die it seems to me the height of a folly both mischievous and markish to contend that criminals who have deserved death should nevertheless be allowed to shirk it no brave and good man can properly shrink death and no criminal who has earned death should be allowed to shrirk it one of the best men of our regiment was the british military captain arthur lee an old friend the other military attaches were hurled together at headquarters and saw little captain lee who had known me in washington escaped and stayed with the regiment he grew to feel that he was one of us and made him an honorary member there were two other honorary members one was richard harding davis who was with us continually and who performed valuable service on a fighting line the other was a regular officer lieutenant parker who had a battery of gatlings we were with this battery throughout the san juan fighting and we grew to have the strongest admiration for parker as a soldier and the strongest liking for him as a man during our brief campaign we were closely and intimately thrown with various regular offices of the type of meals howls and parker we feel not merely fondness for them as officers and gentlemen but pride in them as americans it is a fine thing to feel that we have in the army and in the navy modest efficient gallant gentlemen of this type doing such disinterested work for the honor of the flag and of the nation no american can overpay the debt of gratitude we all of us owe to the officers and enlisted men of the army and of the navy of course with a regimen of our type there was much to learn both among the officers and the men there were all kinds of funny incidents one of my men an ex-coucher and former round-up cook a very good shot and rider got into trouble on the way down on the transport he understood entirely that he had to obey the officers of his own regiment but like so many volunteers or at least like so many volunteers of my regiment he did not understand that this obligation extended to officers of other regiments one of the regular officers on the transport ordered him to do something which he declined to do when officer told him to consider himself under arrest he responded by offering to fight him for a trifling consideration he was brought before a court martial which sentenced him to a year's imprisonment and hard labor with dishonorable discharge and the major general commanding the division approved the sentence we were on the transport there was no hard labor to do and the prison consisted of another cow puncher who kept god over him with his carbine evidently divided in his feelings as to whether he would like most to shoot him or to let him go when we landed somebody told the prisoner that i intended to punish him by keeping him with the baggage he had once came to me in great agitation saying colonel they say you're going to leave me with the baggage when the fight is on colonel if you do that i will never show my face in arizona again colonel if you would let me go to the front i promise i will obey anyone you say anyone you say colonel with the evident feeling that after this concession i could not as a gentleman refuse his request accordingly i answered shields there is no need and there is no one in his regiment more entitled to be shot than you are and you shall go to the front [Music] his gratitude was great and he kept repeating i'll never get this colonel never nor did he when we got very hard up he would now and then manage to get hold of some flour and sugar and will cook a donut and bring it round to me and watch me with a delighted smile as i ate it he behaved extremely well in both fights and after the second one i had him formally before me and remitted his sentence something of which of course i had not the slightest power to do although at the time it seemed natural and proper to me when we came to be mustered out the regular officer who was doing the mustering after all the men have been discharged finally asked me where the prisoner was i said what prisoner he said the prisoner the man who was sentenced to a years imprisonment with hard labor and dishonorable discharge i said oh i pardoned him to which he responded i beg your pardon you did what this made me grasp the fact that i had exceeded authority and i couldn't only answer well i did pardon him anyhow he has gone with the rest whereupon the mustering out officers sank back in his chair remarked he was sentenced by a court martial and the sentence was approved by the major general commanding the division you were a lieutenant colonel and you pardoned him well it was nervy that's all i'll say the simple fact was that under the circumstances it was necessary for me to enforce discipline and control the regiment and therefore to reward and punish individuals in whatever way the exchanges demanded i often explain to the men what the reasons for an order were the first time it was issue if there was any trouble on their part in understanding what they were required to do they were very intelligent and very eager to do their duty and i hardly ever had any difficulty the second time with them if however there was the slightest willful shirking of duty or insubordination i punished instantly and mercilessly and the whole regiment cordially backed me up to have punished men for faults and shortcomings which they had no opportunity to know was such would have been as unwise as to have met any of the occasional bad characters to exercise the slightest license it was a regiment which was sensitive about his dignity it was very keen alive to justice and to courtesy but which courtedly approved absence of mollycodding insistence upon the performance of duty and summary from punishment of wrongdoing in the final fighting at san juan when we captured one of the trenches jack greenway had seized a spaniard and shortly afterwards i found jack leading his captive around with a strength i told him to turn him over to a man who had two or three other captives so that they should all be taken to the rear it was the only time i ever saw jack look aggrieved why colonel can i keep him for myself he asked plaintively i think he had an idea that as a trophy of his bow and spear the spaniard would make a fine body servant one reason that we never had the slightest trouble in the regiment was because when we got down to hard pan officers and men shared exactly alike it is all right to have differences in food and the likes and times of peace and plenty when everybody is comfortable but in really hard times officers and men must share like if the best work is to be done as long as i had nothing but two heart attacks which was the allowance to each man on the morning after the san juan fight no one could complain but if i had had any private little luxuries then men would very naturally have realized keenly their own shortages soon after the gusamus fight we were put on short commons and as i knew that a good deal of food had been landed it was on the beach at sobine i marched 30 or 40 of the men down to see if i could not get some and bring it up i finally found a commissary officer and he asked me what i wanted and i answered anything he had so he told me to look out for myself i found a number of sacks of beans i think about 1100 pounds on the beach and told the officer that i wanted eleven hundred pounds of beans he used a regulation he showed me the appropriate section and subdivision which announced that beings were issued only for the officer's mess this did me no good and i told him so he said he was sorry and i answered that he was not as sorry as i was i then studied on it as barrel rabbit would say and came back over a request for 11 pounds of beans for the officer's mess he said why colonel your officers can't eat 1100 pounds of beans to which i responded you don't know what appetites my officers have he then said he would send the requisition to washington i told him i was quite willing so long as he gave me the beans he was a good fella so we finally affected a working compromise he got the requisition and i got the beans although he warned me that the price will probably be deducted from my salary under some regulation or other only the regular supply trains were allowed to act and we were supposed not to have any horses or mules in the regiment itself this was very big in theory but as a matter of fact the supply trains were not numerous enough my men had a natural genius for crying horse flesh and odd ways and i continually found that they had staked out in the bush various capture spaniards cavalry horses and cuban ponies and abandoned commissary mules putting these together i would organize a small pack train and worked it industriously for a day or two until they learned about it at headquarters and confiscated it then i would have to wait for a week or so until my men had accumulated some more ponies horses and mules the regiment we meanwhile living in plenty on what we had got before the train was confiscated all of our men were good at accumulating horses but within our own ranks i think we were inclined to award the palm of our chaplain there was not a better man in the regiment than the chaplain and there could not have been a better chaplain for our men he took care of the sick and the wounded he never spared himself and he did every duty in addition he had a natural aptitude for acquiring mules which made some admire when the regiment was disbanded proposed that we should have a special medal struck for him with only observed a mule peasant and chaplain regarded after the surrender of santiago a philadelphia clergyman whom i knew came down to general willa's headquarters and after visiting him announced that he intended to call on the rough riders because he knew their colonel one of the general wheeler's aides lieutenant steele who liked us both individually and as a regiment and who appreciated some of our ways asked the clergyman after he had announced that he knew colonel roosevelt but do you know colonel roosevelt's regiment no said the clergyman very well then let me give you a piece of advice when you go down to see the colonel don't let your horses out of your sight and if the captain chaplin is there don't get off the horse we came back to montauk point and soon after were disbanded we had been in the service only a little over four months there are no four months of my life to which i look back with more pride and satisfaction i believe most earnestly and sincerely in peace but as things are yet in this world the nation that cannot fight the people that have lost the fighting edge that have lost the viral virtues occupy existing as dangerous as it is in noble the future greatness of america in no small degree depends upon the possession by the average american citizen of the qualities which my men showed when they served under me at santiago moreover there is one thing in connection with this world which it is well that our people should remember our people who generally love the peace of righteousness the peace of justice and i would be ashamed to be other than a lover of the peace of righteousness and of justice the true preachers of peace who strive earnestly to bring near the day when peace shall obtain among all peoples and who really do help forward the cause are men who never hesitate to choose righteous war when it is the only alternative to unrighteous peace these are the men who like dr lyman abbott have backed every genuine moment movement for peace in this country and who nevertheless recognize our clear duty to war for the freedom of cuba but there are other men who put peace ahead of righteousness and who cares so little for facts that they treat fantastic declarations for immediate universal arbitration as being valuable instead of detrimental to the cause they profess to champion and who seek to make the united states impotent for international good under the pretense of making us impotent for international evil all the men of this kind and all of the organizations they have controlled since we begin our career as a nation all but together have not accomplished 100th part as much for both peace and righteousness have not done one hundredth part as much either for ourselves or for other peoples as was accomplished by the people of the united states when they fought the war with spain and with resolute good faith and common sense worked out the solution of the problems which sprang from the war our army and navy and above all our people learn some lessons from the spanish world and apply them to our own uses during the fallen decade the improvement in our navy and army was very great not in material only but also in personnel and above all in the ability to handle our forces in good size units by 1908 when our battle fleets streamed around the world the navy had become in every respect as fit a fighting instrument as any other navy in the world fleet for fleet even in size there was but one nation england which was completely out of our class and in view of our relations with england and all the english-speaking peoples this was of no consequence of our army of course as much could not be said nevertheless the improvement in efficiency was marked our artillery was still very inferior in training and practice to the artillery arm of any one of the great powers such as germany france or japan a condition which we only then begin to remedy by the workmen like speed and efficiency with which the expedition of some six thousand troops of all arms were mobilized and transported to cuba during the revolution of 1908 showed that as regards our cavalry and infantry we had at least reached a point where we could assemble and handle in first-rate fashion expeditionary forces this is mighty little to boost up for a nation of our wealth and population it is not pleasant to compare it with the extraordinary feats of contemporary japan and the balkan peoples but such as it is it represents a long stride in advance over conditions as they were in 1898 appendix a a manly letter there was a sequence to the round robin incident which caused a little stirring at the moment secretary algier had asked me to write him freely from time to time accordingly after the surrender of santiago i wrote him begging that the calvary division might be put into the puerto rican fighting preparatory to what we suppose would be the big campaign against havana in the fall in the letter i extolled the merits of the rough riders and other regulars announcing with much complacency that each of our regiments were worth three of the national guard regiments armed with the archaic black powder rifles secretary believed mistakenly that i had made public the round robin and was naturally irritated and i suddenly received from him a published telegram not alluding to the round-robin incident but quoting my reference to the comparative merits of the calvary regiments and the national guard regiments and revoking them for me the publication of the extract from my letter was not calculated to help me secure the votes of the national guard if i ever became a candidate for office however i did not mind the matter much for i had at the time no idea of being a candidate for anything while in the campaign i ate and drank and thought and dreamed regimen and nothing but regiment until i got the brigade and then i devoted all my thoughts to handling the brigade anyhow there was nothing i could do about the matter i quote this sentence for memory it is substantially correct when our transport reached montauk point an army officer came aboard and before doing anything else handed me a sealed letter from the secretary of war which ran as follows war department washington august the 10th 1898 dear colonel roosevelt you have been a mcgowan officer and in the battle before santiago showed superb soldierly qualities i would rather add to than the track from the honors you have so fairly won and i wish you all good things in a moment of aggravation under great stress of feeling first because i thought you spoke in a disparaging manner of the volunteers probably without intent but because of your great enthusiasm for your own men and second that i believed your published letter would embarrass the department i sent you a telegram which with an exact from a private letter of yours i gave to the press i would gladly recall both if i could but unable to do that i write you this letter which i hope you will receive in the same friendly spirit in which i send it come and see me at a very early day no one will welcome you more heartily than i yours very truly signed aura a auger i thought this a manly letter and paid no more heed to the incident and when i was president and general alger was senator from michigan he was my staunch friend and on most matters my supporter [Music] end of chapter 7 part 4 recording by daisy 55. chapter seven of authority of the adults

belonged to a line of hills or to only one here to compare small things with large things this was precisely as the battle of gettysburg took its name from the village of gettysburg where only a small part of the fighting was done in the battle of waterloo from the village of waterloo where none of the fighting was done when it became the political interest of certain people to endeavor to minimize my part in the santiago fighting which was merely like that of various other squadron balloting and regiment commanders some of my opponents laid great stress on the alleged fact that the cavalry did not charge up san juan hill we certainly charged some hills but i did not ask their names before charging them to say that the rough riders and the calvary division and among other people myself were not in the san juan fight is precisely like saying that the men who made pickett's charge or the men who fought at little round top in copes hill were not at gettysburg or that tin and the scott grays and the french and english guards were not at waterloo the present vice president of the united states in the campaign last year was reported in the press as repeatedly saying that i was not in the san juan fight the documents following herewith have been printed for many years and were accessible to him had he cared to know or to tell the truth these documents speak for themselves the first is the official report issued by the war department from this it will be seen that there were in the santiago fighting 30 infantry and cavalry regiments represented six of these were volunteer of which one was the rough riders the other 24 were regular regiments the percentage of loss of our regiment was about seven times as great as that of the other five volunteer regiments of the 24 regular regiments 22 suffered a small percentage of loss that we suffered two the sixth united states infantry in the 13th united states infantry suffered a slightly greater percentage of loss 26 percent and

battle of san juan cuba on july 1st 1898 colonel roosevelt by his example and fearlessness inspired his men and both at kettle hill and the ridge known as san juan he led his command in person i was an eyewitness of colonel roosevelt's action as colonel roosevelt has left the service a brevet commission is of no particular value in this case very respectfully samuel s sumner major general united states volunteers west point new york 17 december 17 1898 my dear colonel i saw you led the line up the first hill you were certainly the first officer to reach the top and through your efforts and your personally jumping to the front a line more or less thin but strong enough to take it was led by you to the san juan or first hill in this your life was placed in an extreme jeopardy as you may recall and as it proved by the number of dead left in that vicinity captain stevens then of the ninth cavalry now the second cavalry was with you and i am sure he recalls your gallanconda after the line started on the advance from the first hill i did not see you until our line was haunted under a most gallon fire at the extreme front where you afterwards entrenched i spoke to you there and gave instructions from general sumner that the position was to be held and that there would be no further advance till further orders you were the senior officer there took charge of the line scold me for having my horse so high up on the ridge at the same time you were exposing yourself most conspicuously while adjusting the line for the example was necessary as was proved when several colored soldiers about 8 or 10 24 infantry i think started at a run to the rear to assist a wounded colored soldier and you drew your revolver and play short and effective stop to such apparent stampede it quieted them that position was hot and now i marvel at you escaping there very sincerely yours robert l howells westbound new york december the 17th 1898. i hereby certify that on july the 1st 1898 colonel then lieutenant colonel theodore roosevelt first volunteer cavalry distinguished himself through the action and on two occasions during the battle when i was an eyewitness his conduct was most conspicuous and clearly distinguished above other men as followers number one at the base of san juan or first here there was a strong wire fence or entanglement at which the line hesitated under a galling fire and where the losses were severe colonel roosevelt jumped through the fence and by his enthusiasm his exam and courage succeeded in leading to the crest of the year a line sufficiently strong to capture it in this charge the calvary begrade suffered its greatest loss and a colonel's life was placed in extreme jeopardy owing to the conspicuous position he took in leading the line and being the first to reach the crest of that hill while under heavy fire of the enemy at close range number two at the extreme advanced position occupied by our lines colonel roosevelt found himself the senior and under his instructions from general sumner to hold that position he displayed the greatest bravery and placed his life in extreme jeopardy by unavoidable exposure to severe fire while adjusting and strengthening the line placing the men in positions which afforded best protection etc etc his conduct and example steady the men and on one occasion by severe but not unnecessarily measures prevented a small detachment from stampeding to the rear he displayed the most conspicuous gallantry courage and coolness in performing extraordinarily hazardous duty robert l howells captain

the awarding of barrett's medals of honor etc for the santiago campaign that i state any facts within my knowledge as a junta general of the brigade in which colonel theodore roosevelt served to aid the board in determining in connection with colonel roosevelt's application for a medal of honor whether his conduct at santiago was such as to distinguish him above others i have the honor to submit the following my duties on july 1st 1898 brought me in constant observation of and contact with colonel roosevelt from early morning until shortly before the climax of the assault of the calvary division on the san juan hill the so-called kettle hill during this time while under the enemy's artillery fire at el poso and while on the march from el poso by the san juan four to the point from which his regiment moved to the assault about two miles the greater bot under fire colonel roosevelt was conspicuous above any others are observed in his regiment in the zealots performance of duty and total disregard of his personal danger and in his eagerness to meet the enemy at episode when the enemy opened on that base with artillery fire a shrapnel bullet grazed and bruised one of colonel roosevelt's wrist the incident did not lessen his hazardous exposure but he continued so exposed until he had placed his command under cover in moving to the assault of san juan hill colonel roosevelt was most conspicuously brave gallant and indifferent to his own safety he in the open led his regiment no officer could have sent a more striking example to his men or displayed greater intrepity very respectfully your obedient servant a l mills colonel united states army superintendent headquarters department of santiago de cuba santiago de cuba december the 30th 1898 to the agent general united states army washington dc sir i have the honor to make the following statement relative to the conduct of colonel theodore roosevelt late first united states volunteer cavalry during the assault upon san juan hill july 1st 1898 i have already recommended this officer for a medal of honor which i understand has been denied him on the ground that my previous letter was too indefinite i based my recommendation upon the fact that colonel roosevelt accompanied only by four or five men led a very desperate and extremely gallant charge on san juan hill thereby setting a splendid example to the troops and encouraging them to pass over the open country intervening between their position and the trenches of the enemy in leading this charge he started off first as he supposed with quite a following of men but soon discovered that he was alone he then returned and gathered up a few men and led them to the charge as above stated the charge in itself was an extremely gallant one an example said a most inspiring one to the troops in that part of the line and while it is perfectly true that everybody finally went up the hill in good style yet there is no doubt that that magnificent example said by colonel roosevelt had a very encouraging effect and had great weight in bringing up the troops behind him during the assault colonel roosevelt was the first to reach the trenches in his part of the line and killed one of the enemy with his own hand i earnestly recommend that the metal be conferred upon colonel roosevelt for i believe that he in every way deserves it and that his services on the day in question what are a great value and enough and of a most distinguished character very respectfully lynette wood major general united states volunteers commanding

brought his regiment at exactly the right time not only up to the line of regulars but went through them and headed on horseback the charge on kettle hill this being done on his own initiative the regulars as well as his own men following he then headed the charge on the next hill both regulars and the first united states volunteer cavalry following he was so eager in the entrenchments on the second hill that he shot and killed with a revolver one of the enemy before they broke completely he then led the cavalry on the chain of hills overlooking santiago where he remained in charge of all of the cavalry that was at the extreme front for the rest of the day and night his unhesitating gallantry and taking the initiative against entrenchments lined by men armed with rapid fire guns

regiment forward on horseback until he came to the men of the knife calvary lying down he let us do these and they got up and joined us he gave the order to charge on kettle hill and led us on horseback up the hill both rough riders and the knife cavalry he refers on the heel i being very nearly alongside of him some spanish riflemen were coming out of the entrenchment and he killed one with his revolver he took the men on to the crest of the year and baited them begin firing on a block house on the hill to our left the one the infantry was attacking when he took it he gave the order to charge and led the troops on kettle hill forward against the block house on our front he then had charge of all the cavalry on the hills overlooking santiago where we afterwards dug our trenches he had commanded that afternoon and night and for the rest of the time commanded our regiment at this point yours very truly h e bart shaw cambridge massachusetts march 27 1902 theodore roosevelt president of the united states washington dc this sir at your request i send you the following extracts from my diary and from notes taken on the day of the assault on san juan i kept in my pocket a small pad on which incidents were noted daily from the landing until the surrender on the day of the fight notes were taken just before grimes first fired his first gun just after the third reply from the enemy when we were masked in the road about 70 bases from grimes guns and when i was beginning to get scared and to think i would be killed at the heart just before you advance and under the shelter of the hills in the evening each time that notes were taken the page was put in the envelope addressed to my wife at the first chance they were mailed to her and on my arriving united states the story of the fight these taken from these notes was entered in the diary i kept in that book i make this lengthy explanation that you may see that everything put down was fresh in my memory i quote for my diary detention on the men was great suddenly a line of men appeared coming from my right they were advancing through the long grass deployed as skirmishes and were under fire at their head or rather in front of them and leading them rode colonel roosevelt he was very conspicuous mounted as he was the men were the rough riders so called i heard one someone calling to them not to fire unto us and seeing colonel carroll we put it to him and was told to go out and meet them and caution them as to opposition we being them and the enemy i did so speaking to colonel roosevelt i also told him we were under orders not to advance and asked him if he had received any orders he reminded that he was going to charge the spanish trenches i told this to colonel carroll and to captain dimick our squadron commander a few moments after the word passed down that our left captain taylor was about to charge captain mcbain called out we must go in with these those troops we must support taylor i called this to captain demick and he gave the order to assault the cheer was taken up and taken up again on the left and in the distant it rolled on and on and so we started colonel roosevelt of the rough riders started the whole movement on the left which was the first advance of the salt the following is taken from my notes and was hastily jotted down on the field the rough riders came in line colonel roosevelt said he would assault taylor joined them with his troops mcbain called todemic let us go we must go to support them demix said all right and so with no orders we went in i find many of my notes are ineligible illegible from spiration my authority for singing taylor in with you joined with his troop was the word as to me and repeated to cam captain demick that taylor was about to charge with you could not see his troop i have not put it in my diary but in another place i have noted that colonel carroll who was acting as brigadier commander told me to ask you if you had any orders i have the honor to be very respectfully your obedient servant henry anson barber captain 28th infantry formerly of 9th cavalry headquarters pacific division san francisco california may 11 1905. dear mr president as some discussion has arisen in the public prince regarding the battle of san juan cuba july 1st 1898 annual personal movements during that day have been the subject of comment it may not be a miss in me to state some facts coming under my personal observation as commanding general of the calvary division of which your regiment formed a part it will perhaps be advisable to show first how i came to be in command in order that my statement may have due way as an authoritative statement of facts i was placed in command of the calvary division on the afternoon of june 30th by general schaefer the assignment was made on to the severe illness of general wheeler who was the permanent commander of said division brigadier general young who commanded the second cavalry brigade of which your regiment the first volunteer cavalry formed a part was also very ill and i found it necessary to relieve him from command and place colonel wood of the rough riders in command of the brigade this change placed you in command of your regiment the division moved from his camp on the evening of june 30th and bull racket at and about el poso i saw you personally in the vicinity of el poso about 8 a.m july the first i saw you again on the road leading from el poso to the san juan river you at the head of your regiment which was leading the second brigade and immediately behind the rear regiment of the first brigade my orders were to turn to the right at san juan river and take up a lawn along that stream and try and connect with general lawton who was to engage the enemy at el cane on reaching the river we came under the fire of the spanish forces posted on san juan ridge and kettle hill the first brigade was faced to the front in line as soon as it had cleared the road and the second brigade was ordered to pass in rear of the first and face to the front when clear of the first brigade this movement was very difficult onto the heavy undergrowth and the regiments became more or less tangled up but eventually the formation was accomplished and the division stood in an irregular line along the san juan river the second brigade on the right we were subjected to a heavy fire from the forces on san juan ridge and kettle hill our position was untenable and it became necessary to assault the enemy or fall back kettle hill was immediately in front of the cavalry and it was determined to assault that hill the first brigade was ordered forward and the second brigade was ordered to support the attack personally i accompany a portion of the 10th cavalry second brigade and the rough riders were to the right this brought your regiment to the right of the house which was at the summit of the hill shortly after i reached the crest of the hill you came to me accompany i think by captain cj stevens of the ninth cavalry we were then in a position to see the line of entrenchments along san juan ridge and could see kent's infantry division engaged on our left and hawkins assault against fort san juan you asked me for permission to move forward and assault san juan ridge i gave you the order in person to move forward and i saw you move forward and assault san juan ridge with your regiment and portions of the first and tenth cavalry belonging to your brigade i held a portion of the second brigade as a reserve on kettle hill not knowing what force the enemy might have in reserve behind the ridge the first brigade also moved forward and assaulted the ridge to the right of fort san juan there was a small lake between kettle hill and san juan ridge and in moving forward your command passed to the right of this lake this brought you opposite a house on san juan ridge not fort san juan proper but a frame house surrounded by an earth work the enemy lost a number of men at this point whose bodies lay in the trenches later in the day i rode along the line and as i recall it a portion of the 10th calvary was immediately about this house and your regimen occupied in a regular semi-circular position along the ridge and immediately to the right of the house you have pits out of your front and several hundred yards to your front the spanish had a heavily outpost occupying the house with rifles surrounding it late in the day and during the following day the various regiment forming the division were rearranged and brought into tactical formation the first brigade on the left and admitted to the right of fort san juan and the second brigade on the right of the first this was a position occupied by the calvary division until the final surrender of the spanish forces on july the 17th 1898. in conclusion allow me to say that i saw you personally at about 8 a.m at el poso later on the road to san juan river later on the summit of kettle hill immediately after it's captured by the calvary division i saw you move forward with your command to assault san juan ridge and i saw you on san juan ridge where we visited your line together and you explained to me the disposition of your command i am sir with much respect your obedient servant samuel s sumner major general united states army end of chapter 7

obMcwTl_YoE | https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=obMcwTl_YoE | Reconnecting With Our White Fire Solar Angels December 2021 **ArchAngel Michaels Teachings** | wisdom teachings from archangel michael december 2021 world server groups of the future reconnecting with our white fire solar angels by rana sacred scribe overlighted by archangel michael dearest friends while i was in preparation to research the information for archangel michael's seventh book of messages the magic and majesty of ascending humanity he told me quote you have now arrived at a state of consciousness whereby it is important that you begin to relay the wisdom you have garnered from all of the teachings of the past which are now stored within your sacred mind therefore many of the messages and articles to be added in magic and majesty are to be your interpretation and i will oversee your work end quote and so in the future like this one some of the future messages will be my interpretations with excerpts from archangel michael archangel michael quote beloved masters the new group of world servers will be those who are well on their way to self-mastery this means that those aspirants who have tamed the ego desire body and their soul is now the over lighting director of their future choices and life's direction they must have gained entrance into the sacred mind and sacred heart and therefore they are attuned to their higher mental and emotional bodies as a result they will have a burning desire to serve to spread the light and the wisdom teachings of cosmic consciousness their focus will be on unity consciousness and group interaction instead of an i me or my mindset end quote there is a special group of white fire angels whose original mission was to over light groups of souls who were ready to journey out into this sub-universe as co-creator sons and daughters they helped us to create and maintain our original adam eve cadman light body these wondrous beings were waiting for us within the refined dimensional levels of our god seed adam at that incredible time when we first came forth into our individualized i am consciousness after we had refracted our soul essence many times and we moved outward into the two highest dimensional planes of the fourth dimension our white fire angel withdrew for those with the lowest levels they could refract themselves to in order to over light us they would wait for the time when we would return to those required high frequency levels so that they could once again over light and assist us in the acceleration of our reunion with our remaining soul fragments they would also assist us in refining and harmonizing our physical vessels in auric field the ancient teachings were often written in a way so that the average person could not comprehend the deeper meaning of the messages much was written about the time when a soul reached a certain level of enlightenment and initiation when a great revelation would be given to the aspirants those teachings spoke of a solar angel a sphere of radiant light that would over light them they also stated that there would be a stream of light which would emanate from the heart center of the solar angel into the sacred heart and sacred mind of the aspirant this fiery link would also radiate forth to connect with the many other souls belonging to the same soul group this was in preparation for the eventual return of unity consciousness within the group during those ancient times there were very few souls who reached the required level of vibrational frequency patterns necessary for ascension however that has changed this is a time of mass ascension therefore each solar angel will focus on an entire group those who are connected to a designated overseer of light for a particular soul family group in a number of past messages that archangel michael has transmitted to me for people over the years he has stated quote we would have you know that you are the earthly overseer of light for your extended heavenly soul family you and those like you agreed to go through the painful process of sinking into the deepest density of the ancestral family lineage of the physical family you chose to be born into this was necessary so that as you are lifted up so are those within your soul group end quote this concept is a wonderful validation of the statement quote you are in the process of returning to unity consciousness end quote vivio the white fire angel who came to me in february of 2012 told me that for those of us who are ready to accelerate the process of integrating the multiple facets of our higher self his task is to assist us to harmonize our frequency patterns to a more refined degree so that the integration process will not be so tumultuous this is necessary for in the past the process of integrating the vibrational patterns of an oversoul higher self took a very long time usually several lifetimes when we were ready to complete the last phases of the ascension process there is a fail-safe to this process those who are attuned to and are following the teachings of archangel michael are understandably at many levels and stages of the enlightenment process therefore the connection with vivio will still be made with all members of the group who are seriously striving to achieve a harmonious level of vibrational patterns however he will not send forth a fiery spirit as essence to over light you until you have reached and attuned to the required soul song frequencies of the highest fourth dimensional frequencies in preparation to ascend into the entry levels of the fifth dimension vivio is androgynous however his energy feels masculine of course this wondrous gift and the accompanying rules also apply to many different groups who are following the enlightened wisdom teachings of other great beings of light via the many dedicated messengers around the world archangel michael quote as you balance and harmonize your frequency patterns and your soul song moves into a higher octave you will gradually become acclimated to some of the more refined frequencies of light at that time your personal pyramid will automatically move into a higher dimensional level than your work pyramid your personal pyramid will also expand in size to accommodate all of the features that will be offered to you as you move deeper and deeper into the higher realms of light it could be said that your personal pyramid in the fifth dimension will become your personal city of light end quote with your mind's eye envision three crystal chairs in one of the corners of your personal pyramid you can always add another chair or more if necessary one chair is for you and the other two are for the guides and or teachers you will be working with sometimes you will have two guides who wish to work with you most often it will be one male and one female guide between the chairs there is a low crystal table with a violet flame fountain beneath it this sacred fire constantly radiates waves of violet flame energy around this special seating area there is a small four-sided pyramid floating over the table however it does not have a floor the bottom is opened there is a double terminated quartz crystal that fits into the capstone of this pyramid as with all other pyramids the top point extends out of the peak of the pyramid and the bottom point hangs slightly above the crystal table you are to only invite or work with your guides higher self or angelic helpers in this pyramid at the appropriate time a master or a being of greater light may come to you however that will be after a training and integration period do not try to rush the process be patient and allow everything to unfold at the proper time this is part of the initiation process most probably you will experience a dark night of the soul process during this time as you harmonize a major portion of your imbalanced frequency patterns as we have stated before not everyone is meant to connect with or become messengers of the masters and the beings of light from the higher realms those who do so have been in training for many lifetimes they were chosen and prepared before coming into this incarnation they had to go through an extensive training period in the higher realms as well as a rigid difficult testing period during their present lifetime before they were deemed ready to assume their predestined mission their special intuitive abilities were stored away in memory seed atoms within their diamond core god cell in their sacred mind until the time when he or she has reached the required level of balance and harmony and also has resolved or transmuted a certain amount of their past personal karma when the appropriate time comes when you have cleared much of the distortion within your personal column of light and you have integrated many of the attributes qualities and virtues from your higher self guides teachers and angelic helpers you may begin to receive advanced teachings from the cosmic council of light in order to do so you must attain the frequency levels of your higher self in the mental causal plane within this great hologram of divinity is a memory seed atom which contains all the gifts talents and knowledge that you have attained and perfected during your many lifetimes throughout this sub-universe within this hologram is a memory seat atom connecting you with your master teacher when you make that connection your life will change dramatically however you will only be able to access the cosmic information to which your energetic signature is attuned in other words as your soul song rises in frequency to higher and higher levels you will gain access to more advanced levels of cosmic wisdom end quote my master teacher's name is triton in the mid-1980s he appeared to prepare me to become a messenger for archangel michael he sent forth a memory seat atom down through my soul star and into my sacred mind which connected with and activated another memory seat atom stored there that is how i became an instant cosmic telepath and i immediately began to receive messages and past life information from him after a time of testing integration and attunement in february 1982 archangel michael also sent down and activated the memory seat adam in my sacred mind from that time onward my life has been radically different i have been blessed beyond measure archangel michael quote disciplined enlightened teachers and counselors are desperately needed during these critical times of mass awakening and it is imperative that there be a uniformity in the basic teachings of more advanced cosmic laws archangel michael quote as each soul awakens to his or her individualized divine heritage they will no longer be willing to follow the man-made restrictive individualized controlling rules and regulations designed to ensnare and emotionally enslave the people of the world self-mastery and unity consciousness will become the major theme of the mass consciousness belief system in the future unconditional love is a love that rises above the limitations and the mass consciousness belief structure of the third fourth dimensional illusion unconditional love is based on the wisdom of your sacred mind and it is radiated purely from the sacred heart for the greatest good of all it is time to turn inward and to seek the wisdom of your own divine history beloveds we are ever near to guide and direct you we are only a thought away i am archangel mikhail programming for mental emotional and spiritual abilities overlapped by archangel michael rana sacred scribe i am now integrating the power of unity and oneness and my connection with the earth and all abundance i am now integrating the power of passion with spirit as my director my desire will be to create joy peace and prosperity to enjoy and share i am now activating my personal power center i am in control of my emotions i am the master of my desires i set clearly defined boundaries with an overlay of loving energy i receive and project only harmonious energy of love light i open my heart to the divine flow of spirit and the higher refined frequencies of god-light i am now enhancing my solar power center through the power of communication and self-expression i will speak my truth with integrity and discernment i now have total access to the power of my intuitive mind i have clear insight and i listen attentively to the wisdom of my soul and my higher self i now have access to my oversoul higher self in my sacred triad which are my overlining centers of enlightenment inspiration and wisdom i am now in alignment with my rainbow bridge to unity consciousness i hereby express my desire and intention to transmute all misqualified energies as i move beyond the law of karma and into a state of grace so be it and so it is dear hearts no matter where you are in the path of ascension know that you will have all the help from your guides and teachers that the universal laws allow do not focus on what you are not but focus on the moment and the opportunities before you each and every soul is precious in the sight of our father mother god and your ascension into the higher realms is assured so please relax and enjoy the journey eternal love and angel blessings rana | Star Quest Mastery | UCypPNtst7NTJh8ATrJOGmXA | 2021-12-01

[Fruity Dance Demo+Tutorial] | this is how it got Fluttershy to dance inside FL Studio first I downloaded this simple Pony animation by oofy colorful and separated all the frames into layers to make a Sprite sheet only short animations work for this because Ethel Studio's dance plug-in requires the animation to be exactly 8 frames long since this animation is 12 frames long and the most important frames are near the edges of the animation I discarded frames 3 5 7 and 9. the next step is to take the maximum width of the animation and space the frames evenly by that width I rounded my spacing to 400 pixels you'll probably have to adjust the layer boundary size of each layer to the spacing width and center the content to prevent offset by the way you should be able to use any image manipulation program to do this but I highly recommend because it has more stability and functionality than knockoff image editors like Photoshop anyway now just export this as a PNG with transparency into the Fruity Dance artwork folder put a text file with the same file name in the folder and write the name of the action the dancer is performing inside the text file probably dance if you want to include multiple animations you can add as many rows of frames as you liked the image and an extra label to the text file to represent each one boot up Ethel studio and add Fruity Dance then click load Sprite sheet and select yours and you're done wait a minute I just noticed whoever made the transparent edit of this animation left aliased edges so I'm going to go back into the image and fix as much of that as I can by using Color selection and the rest by doing manual touch-ups while I'm at it I'll also get rid of the eye clipping because I'll be frank it doesn't look good sorry goofy everything else about this animation looks nice anyway so now I'll just load the updated file into FL and we now have a looping 8 frame animation of Fluttershy that will automatically synchronize with whatever BPM is set as a final step I recommend turning off blend mode because resampling doesn't look good now let's have some fun and make a beat for Fluttershy to dance to I'm just going to throw something together in a few minutes with FL Studio's default sounds since I made for previous songs and AJ 92's vocal track from Fluttershy's said can't dance because why not every morning [Music] if you'd like to try this out yourself and add flutter to your FL Studio Project Check out the link in the description which contains the Sprite sheet and the text file pony pony pony | Cantersoft | UCNc2HOtItuvp6zVvjzCNyxw | 2023-01-21 | Creative Commons Attribution license (reuse allowed) | en | metadata | en | 467 | 2,533 |
45NpJseilMU | https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=45NpJseilMU | Marco Silva | What Does He Bring To EFC? | welcome to toffee TV sponsored by a van Arama driving fan TV through the summer so magazine brands as in but let's let's talk about Michael silver he's at the club bass has been doing all over the research alum to to get us up to speed with what we should expect from him obviously you know we came into English football what eighteen and spent half a season with halt unfortunate to keep top in the premium then he moved to Wofford and obviously we tried to get our finger in october/november time lost his job in was it January January I knew he lost the job that I've grown up or for which Watford kindly said was because of us which is good and what would that to a lot of injuries as well that he had and but what do you see Ivan looked at while he's done in the past what do you see has as his ideology I would say coming into evident Hank the thing what's him what since Reston and you pointed that I when we don't do the action video and he started as a sport and I doubt that he played for Esther rod he was a bright back and then he'd be tired and took over as a sport and I'd actor and they'd lost of the first few games and he was quickly promoted to the manager or the head coach and that come around because as the captain which is Ronnie was he'd been able to but it endeavor D Bobby together - that all but he took over there they were struggling there the photo disabled and he quickly got in and the players from bad air that were talking about how he was able to give them confidence make them all believe in an ideology in a way of playing and the ended off win and the league that same season so they'd lost I think he'd lost the phase three and then under live I think they only lost them all that another two or three for the rest of the season and how am I promoted into the Premier League in Portugal and everyone was you know they only got a thousand funds that again that I think it olds 5000 or something so they cannot a very big club in the slightest and he went off into the top division and he finished for the next season their fifth sorry the next season and got into the Europa League and that he lost three and a top plays Afonso ended up with him a whole resume he was he was the key people said then he even often and everyone tipped them for delegation because the three kingpins had gone on the AXI finished fourth the following season finished better but he's very um very attack-minded manners yet bought and though there's been a lot and I've even I even said that his relaf ace without really low haunting to him you know is he a little bit like debate or madness but he's not if you look at and read anything through through Portugal and a Sam increase and stuff and he's very not that not the fence man that but he does look after his defense he believes that if you start from solid basis the block then it's obviously easier to win it seems transition through counter-attack and football you know to being high press team as well it however do whatever it suits you know the what I was called for on that day and I think that the big thing that's come out of it is is actual coaching methods and obviously you can only go on what people have said yeah these are plays you've each way to experience you know call on a kasam you played I think he ended up playing for fallen for a bit called the mad genius daddy is a tactical genius and you know we've seen the things about your care to stay even Ryan Mason store chain physically when the goalie drills he pulls them into the positions where they should be and I think if you can what what runs refurb least enough I've stood even under the bolts and was he's able to be the man that yet but he's also able to that's rationally and build this forces team spirit and I think few similarities there suppose with David Moyes the way he was able to be the man that he bought Everton had a strong team spirit throughout mostly through our boys disease but this fellas able to do it probably may be similar to Mourinho I know in Portugal they see him us maybe Moreno we've been called and the way Medina was able to get that or was now we can seems to fall out with plays but early on certainly in Portola TLC and even real madrid the ancillary far we Casillas um a lot of them said he was great they're getting that team's better goal names awesome also against everybody else and I think he's like that a little bit yeah it does seem to have them something about them I've heard that people you know people play is again seeing you does have a comes across as a very nice charmer mumble he does have a side to feed as well it does seem like that when you when you see him in doesn't give much away in the press conferences of not just as well at the time like a lot of Blues were around the time we were getting linked with them every press woman seems getting asked then every day he was you know he he didn't fob anyone off he just said well today we're concentrating on back game or this game and we're laying in a blob are barred and so he seems to be all about the all about business all about the business of of and you know like you just said they're players I've said about it on the train and pitch it's coming yet that's where I want yet again and stop and training sessions and going through things again again meticulous meticulous I for detail which is what all the best-managed is hard and although although Roberto Martinez with a lot of effort only ins are sort of comparing and with which I don't know where there's any evidence that that I think it's just one of those things that gets thrown out any of your team can see goals or well you must play a same way without really looking into well is it because it's not reason is that a reason it's got where's players is he is he setting up in a certain way but the plays are unable to do it but I don't think mine is washed out meticulous I just think he had an idea of how we wanted to play and set and goddess players to play like that but without the detail the detail into what what happens if you know it's all right saying that's all I haven't coach them by just saying well this is how we want to play as we go forward but how do you how do you counter that if the opposition get the ball or how'd you and I think this was a big thing that seeing me in - the second season was an address how do you deal with the opposition when you haven't got the ball you know how'd you win them all laughs that's what allows you to play that style you want to play and only that was ever addressed on the madness it was it was sort of secondary was well this is how we're gonna play women possession that's fine we'll go for one of the other bits were and that that seems to be something that this guy wants to do listen I can't sit and say it's going to be brilliant or he's a he's a genius at it but what I can say is that battle piece that's what he wants to do that's why he's he's he's getting he's teaching kids defend this or as midfielders or even as attackers how to approach the other side of the game so you can play the way he wants to play anything that's really important you know you look you took I'm not saying it's the same thing but look at the Barcelona thing look at the man says he thing about the six-second yeah you know anybody win it back that's a way of not in that Zoe's gonna play but I'm saying not subway that's a way of getting your players to understand that you can do nothing in the game unless you've got the ball and that's something that Pep Guardiola this is drilled into all those plays and Man City plays have now and now understand enough and you take it takes to see him play that well certainly not to do that I think I think that's a huge part of where Martin his even though he said he had the Barcelona philosophy completely got it wrong that he wasn't prepared to put the hours in on the training grounds of so to do that kind of thing to get that press on it to get that win the ball back at all costs and I think hopefully this is this is something that he he will implement seven bet for me I mean it that's running through three rollers team sister all it seems have played very simply and it does off the ideology of all we want to play any stick to it and I think what come out is able to get players to play you know we like to plays he trusts but he's able to get them to play in in a same way and I think you know Tom Cleverley talking about working on a flow in for 45 minutes cuz it wasn't lights and stuff like that can be boring but it makes you big difference you know win and also if you've got someone who's booking into that yeah and you tail those details can be the difference between winning and winning a game and not winning a game and you know we do member nobert on my own they're saying you don't practice Cornish what's the point where you're like well the point is if the game sign you get one you can win it you know that's the point it's get a play in all the other stuff well this fella yeah does after I mean he looked at I look at her and this wind ratios mmm it's R it was 44% to thinker Esther will it went off to 56 percent of sport this one him 79 percent sir this is ridiculous Olympia caucus and then it was 34 percent a whole I'm 31 and ended up at Watford because of the way in ended the war football people just look at the way lender the Wofford and just go oh he's no good we gotta remember back before our interference things we're breaking off behind the scenes bought they would diva do and very believed a fourth a couple of each body play those you know and and people were gone these alone outsides hit for the Champions League and all that cause the way they were playing so what I also bid was a watch the blood watched a lot while I've been away from you are tough watching em just situations for this team so when when they're attacking and and they do it depends obviously Scott complain but when it's the high press the high press properly they don't like that's like soaps and goes and does it and then if they just played and the man had gone the swarm all over it and he II he favors in generally favors a 4-2-3-1 which you've been playing for that which we've been playing but what's difference is that CY plays an utterly at UH complains a proper to some plays and he goes have seen that and a 4-3-3 and when he at Wofford for instances Tom Cleverley was this was was the difference in the two formation so when it was a 4-2-3-1 cleverly was the person who played at the tip of the ad copy and the quarry most of the time and who are able to get above the playbook cleverly the pressure in the front sheet up for players doing a high press but you still up insurance behind them in other games clever legal to go and be part of the midfield so you have you know you know three you know it's or whatever would you like to think Sigurdsson could do they get simple dude because he can play as a sense of Muirfield citizen so we'd be able to go between the two formations Thank You front three could be say Lachman soaks in and Walcott you've got pace in the wings you've got a gold school and they're guilty dropping into that try and you know making it a bomb and for picking off and lets him what cleverly was good that for them was keeping the play gold blaze getting on the ball that's what guilty will be good for us the difference where to see with Everton is there to sentiment for your place not only physically big but I able to get up and bow now Ghana can do it someone like Tom Davis can do it but stature wise the two little fellas and the thing Tom needs a little bit more coaching so that's why we were saying on another video on this usually top with him that's why it's important to get that box so yaks the other thing as well and this is running through with all of his team's is the full-backs give them the width that sounds great on the right side with Sheamus yeah you got job all day long there's a question mark over leighton baines of can Eagleton value before this one that's it again it depends maybe if he brings a normal sense about a huge quick you can call for for Bane's or come on a mom it filled this do what got off buddy used to doing and drop in so it's going to be interesting to see how he moves this squad around a little bit and he brings in what they're generally before Masons he has gone with to affluence of huge size but his favorite out of 43 one out of four three three yeah is as I say it's for me when he when he came into the Hall I was very skeptical as well over the employment generally you are when you especially with the whole sort of next marine you're kind of tag without that for a V Bay and yeah you know it's not something that sits wellbore and but a whole say anything you know you hit the the the things he did with that team were incredible really when you think about I know if you know somebody got them relegate we didn't get them relegated at all and even if he wasn't our man I said I wouldn't say that he did not kick them relegated he came in when they had one win he got rid of who well or what it was willing to let the player who was then seen as their best player and they liked Allah's Malik you know he's calling at what's his name yeah she's got against doors didn't yet in the to choke a few days before and I'm Kate Livermore who did both they took the true yeah they were their treatment best players or let so he went out and he you know he brought in the legs in the ass got mass with it markavitch from Liverpool on loss of buns well movie that before he came in and he just got as if he the winger made them you give them a little bit of hope and a little bit of excuse me of a shape and you know the event on on one was it eight league games sorry Phyllis to see with now in the games at nine league wins so the transformation you know because of the League Cup semi-final bit United you know be living for the they were they were the completely different side from what you know what they were and and then what you know when Wofford when he took over from Wofford and obviously he had something his contract that he could leave and went to Wofford and it was instant saying this with them you know went out and got with Charlson and got I God knows how he got that way maybe should be on the formal side again on you on you cooler win now and went for him and and you know you Huachuca check with chalice and I'm faced out for the season I'll see any oneself what was in which Allison was was a fantastic when he medal to Newcastle being three nil you know we just getting the coal mines and he beat Palace I'd sell his party we just fantastic they were they were it was all where him and how he wanted once away from when they came to coalition for the fast for life a star way they were really really good and then something just flipped in the game thankfully for us and and we we got the goals poor they that that our and Mitch Allison's especially they were magnificent and the way they wanted to play was with magnificent you know dope that they were really positive and yeah so it's gonna be it's gonna be interesting it really isn't and the way as I say I think he's a very is a very modern maladies you're very into managed and he's a very very much knows the job and I think having brands with them I will will allow to to get on with the job of what what he wants to do culture and not having to be sidelined with all the things and you know I think that's really important because you know as brands you know brand said no point buying players when he's not if he's not gonna pick them cuz he's he's got the he picks the 11 he's got that he's got it he's got the team sheets at the end of the day they've met thousand t before the team agreed you know Silver's out good a couple of issues with because Watford of it a similar setup except they buy the plays and a man's it's got a got a kind of feel within and Alma ROTC wasn't happy with him Quique Flores wasn't happy with it but that's the way the puzzle fun you do it and it's an Italian thing is no suppose that they brought with them and so we had some issues there but II love met with brands and sure Marcel brands will have said to him well you know what didn't wake up what foot and you know and all of you said well you know don't sell plays I want to keep and you know and I want I want to say anyway by which is which is really wants and i wha food I've said this before I seen him at Chelsea near brilliance the ended up losing the game but only cuz they've missed so many chances I watched them at Bournemouth you know and brilliant want Sunil brilliance on the console it's a fast flow and fresh and high calls and lots of problems you know T beat Arsenal it only with brilliance you know there was different things like Newcastle like you shared the you know tt-33 with Liverpool under the Constitution probably should the be sauce you know when I'm didn't what luckily for us so we say he's a forward-thinking man and he said in the press conference he wants to be if the long hair you know along to improves yet and and if he gets was playing attack on football the fans will be with him and then it's a case of build lip I don't know what's good as well as he's got he's got a we've got a clear one of this you know he's coming now yeah beginning almost like the end of last season beginning of a new season you know June the first is basically you know the day one one ends and one begins he's got a Cleveland at this now we can you know we I would imagine you can plot his own preseason you know in terms of games I mean obviously thought the what wax he happens and we'll be down to him anyway but it seems of games you've got nothing for autonomy can go in he can go in and do whatever games he wants whatever suits him in terms of like does he go for one game every couple of every three days or you know all those kind of things that are really important and I think you'd think that's but see quite key as well as that and I think we mentioned this a few months back or a couple of months back in the video I mean the scrutiny will be the next managing when we would talk about silver lista managers have got to got to lay from their mistakes you know when it if he did make mistakes its whole if he did make mistakes that's and wofford just Elaine from there yeah and it's how they lay in you know good managers just made overnight also manages don't just have a trajectory that is all John York sometimes just nouns and you know what you don't necessarily lead on the off all the time because you don't know what you don't see what's gone wrong so you don't know how to respond for me yeah yeah your honor this might sound stupid thing to say but I remember being when I was laying into Jeff and it was like the diamond started to say you want things to go wrong now you you know you know when you be doing like the five o'clock Drive a lesson when it's like rush hour and you'd be like all right the hell if they brought me out now so it's gonna go wrong I'd rather late no and then from it and they enough to make come back and it's like that for Emmys he loved experience that different experience as a whole time between his first experience of being a part of a relegation threatened seem and that was why I probably get the time that scene become bit of a strange appointments because he'd been used to being a manage on the OP okay and his face job become and it was a bit you know it was a bit by the face but he took them on a took them on you know Lisbon the same and Olympiakos the same so whole what seems like a strange strange move boy it's all about winning games and then when he's not too rough with he's got to lay in from having a lot of speculation on them all oppression on them and then ultimately you know getting sacked you know that's what hopefully what he'll come into the admin job with all that experience but then you know what fellows are the rights of them who's like will you just get on with doing what you need to do which is just the culture bar now after all and we'll we'll do this together yes it's a team isn't it and I'll know blunders in but that's one or two everyone's gotta work together lit his ideals seem to be what ever thought winners will like lots of crosses into the box then Sock'em fast play you know a sometimes it's it seems on the counter-attack to do that unique with players so you know people bemoaned but not of them a lot of fast side in transition we've you know we've all said that haven't me show you know it's gonna be really interesting I think to see who survives the call who he thinks can fit in it's not going to be a fixed in this preseason just because he comes in and gets us planes you know it might take two windows to get 18 plays you can play 19 place you can play it away another nineteen no no I mean the whole squad put littered with all the plays do you know what I mean you can play the exact way that he wants whether that's young kids developing everything and I was well and but just to have an idealism I have a pattern of play hmm have a young man is yet there you want to be yeah you know I think that you know Ronald Kooyman didn't agree and think he really wants for the be that much to think he just horrible these are all rights and it might get me closest of the bastards job you know I think he need to persuade and to be it was a disconnect with the funds in him you know it's just the way years but there was it didn't where help there was no real style of play identity for our club was that you know no no you watched it was Berkeley and look are you daily that was it then we went into the stars at last season and it did nothing way you know Walsh BB so you know on holiday so we've got a manatee now you know we must get him I mean and what I thought was funny was when the shirt you know out it's saying a team from being xx and the shots 19th cleared chances created that so we started laughing because you probably thinking well the only ways his job from there isn't it you know and he said to play a tough football to get the ball forward to create chances to get I've shot you know that's what our fans want that's not difficult you only honor you shared you only win games by a time and it's right yeah isn't it it's right so um I'm enthused listen it might be brilliancy my block that's the way it is boy I don't think we can beat him with the stick of the Wofford thing there the whole thing I think they don't that both the boat that miss you no mitigating circumstance as a whole especially how we even gave them a fighting chance as incredible as it is and what furred you know it went wrong poor like you've just said you know no manatees ever gonna take you over alpha smooth ride till they decide and win everything costly don'ts the up times when it says then there are times when it's you know your lane from your allegations in your lane from Buckland after having to juggle players and people's attitudes and different things so you know hopefully he can use all his experience and he's got some who he can you can sauce the head of them ultimately I think the most important thing is is that you're on the right path you you're on the right path from the start and things will try and upset yet and you won't win every game and but if you're on the right path then well you know a lot of things can be achieved but it's just it's just making sure you're on the right path and not getting no just knowing just knowing you're on it and I know the people around you know when you're on it and go and and whatever happens if bad things happen it's like it's okay because it's part of where we're going mm-hmm I think we've seen that it at spares early on we're punches you know I think I think we've seen that Liverpool early on not everyone will be with you as you go on that place and it's about establishing who do it they're who's not with yet sometimes you're left there leave people behind and you know what they might be cool place and you might be it's a replace and straightaway but if they're not with you if they're not part of the process there's no point there's no point having them you've got you've just gotta cut them out and you won't necessarily be go that I'd say to a are as well and might need to disappointing results but if people are laying and and also if you're not go daddy but and you go into a good side then that's the other thing you might lose games by just not being good at that way of playing yeah but if you believe in it you've got to keep going on it and if it is ultimately the right way then hopefully it will have good results and good positive results but if you've got it if you know what you want to do you can't be going to some sides and saying well we're not we're just not gonna play that way if you believe in something I suppose you've just got to stick to it and hope for the best that was a line he said last year than he really was at Wofford you don't want both it's you know I can't sell my place to play one-way bomb we and the other the next week just because of the Opposition in terms of I think he didn't necessary you can approach the game slightly differently of course he come but you're not gonna say we were gonna call off the team's up less and less and less oh no I blame on city we're not gonna place we're just gonna sit on the edge of our box because you're leaving yourself open to be destroyed we see not lassies monuments or Arsenal we played a different way and then we went so a song which is wide you know b-side three at the back or five at the bow and it just was a mess wasn't it it was an absolute mess so get after have an identity and you know rights all wrong players will ultimately decide whether your system is good you know fauna but you've got another system to know what players complement that system you know vivvy egg and clawford Danny ings a vegan and sonck so I'm here from I don't think Liverpool will be blown teams away now his system would still be the same but I don't think it well it wouldn't be anywhere near there's a successful as well in his oven salad for me you know and money so it's a ultimately plays will decide how high you go but you've got to get the thing in place and paucity you know they've added salt on sand his model he then sucked that model to Tottenham and when he shaped it they've gone on and on and okay they've uh they've been a little bit the Hurricanes send into a sense of awe without scores for fun but each complemented within that system and he bought wealth within that system and it chained it on a chain that Unchained that almond and that's why I did I did an excellence and they should be the team we identify with the most because they've done it they don't leave them most of the other teams above they're so fingers crossed such words all all those things sought to be positive now it's a new era if you want to call it balith or it's a new beginning big changes behind the scenes as well so let's talk let's believe see what happens you know that's a stall try and pull in the same direction if that faith that and these people know what to do and that's ensure you don't want too much again and enjoy being and Eversole unit it emits a pulse if that's their four inch your units isn't it and let's hope you know we won't evil wanna succeed more than anybody sure let's get behind them and vision I think I think what I think people will I think furniture I mean just finally I think yeah I mean think about it we Mark Martin Martinez comment right we let's be honest he just got wiggle relegated hmm no I'm not saying I'm not saying you know that's the the benchmark but what I'm saying isn't that well that's someone when he came in EJ you mean any give it all the Champions League and all right this is boss the infusion for the corporate brilliance I remember his first preseason game was it a concern Stanley somewhere my dad won't fall on finds my loving it all over them saying all the right things and I mean you know maybe this fellow might just be a little bit more guarded that's fine but your fans cannot sing a few yes we understand it's important to connect with the phone yeah yeah oh no I don't think he's like standoffish edge I think in naturally just a little bit more guard than just a little bit more reserved than the Wayne ones himself across what I'm saying is no fans let's let's get to get let's pull together so like you know what its first preseason game and I'm not saying fans won't be bought let's let's all be there pushing for because I understand the resistance people don't want to get bids I feel like the beam but that doesn't mean you can't go there you think about is right you be enthusiastic about the Manatee but that doesn't mean you have to be unrealistic about the moment no one after no one has to be sick ego or we've got this felony and we're gonna win everything cuz it's gonna be amazing and he's amazing and this what brands is gonna be amazing that's what we hope but we don't don't know after City and thinking that's gonna happen but that doesn't mean we still can't be enthusiastic and be like you know what to give this fellow all our support and every ever you know the preseason show them what it's like to be an Everton manager and show them that we are with them so that is like yeah these are with me and then you can point to that to the fight players come there with you the winds yeah and if there is yet then that gives us a little bit more time to get things right because the last thing we want is to be fans going into it goin yeah let's just see what happens because I think that just breeds a little bit like yeah we're not too sure about this fella and we're not too sure about then you're waiting for things to go wrong that's exactly what happened with with Al advice you know whether you like them when you didn't like him no one was gonna give him that time everyone was waiting for it to go wrong and that was a little bit like the same Cuban as well people on the star but a little bit like not sure what about this fella and because of that I think the minute it was started going wrong then people were like no we're is with - yeah it's a while it's a it's a series where we are you know after the fair season then we had the second scene which was pretty by the path when you running in your Oakley but we think a lot of people forgive them and then till the very end I know people who might know this you can still turn around because we wall entertain it around and I think you just gotta give yourself up you gotta give yourself a hole with a little bit doesn't mean you have to be a fanboy and be so so that you know can't see any dog can't see any wrong with him but that's just been let's get let's get behind them I just think if we all we all want to say we all want to see Evan good I think we've got more chance of achieving it if we're all pulling in there like dialects and let's see how we go hopefully you know I think we should be playing the lectures Aisling since Stanley enarans in the police season and I think we probably will end up just uke games play in them build the confidence or get some goals score some goals and then it gives that good feelin survive if you win like if three or four games four one three they'll for you like each quarter that he scores everyone starts getting that little bit of a good feelin I think when it's great going into tournaments against big opposition that's good eight bullets aim for that next woman when when we know what we're doing this summit I think so late along the line this has got to be the long-term plan and that's why I'm prepared to fully get behind it now because I just think we've had bits where it's the toes in the war to the Bennets we might do that now we've got some money we've got a proper bad after a football in and we got a young man at it who is done decent things in his killer yet he's out some down but he's had a lot of ups and now for me I'm just gonna go you know what let's get behind them and let's watch everything and let's enjoy watching a football club again enjoy talking about our football club again and not go on you know what I mean so because for everyone who's moaning elevates could have stayed machete could the gong you've got a safe that's alright if you get a safe again neck see it or settled it again and we'll see we're not just done that this is the flip side of a low base is the flip side is it young manager who wants to attack is the flip side anyone who was moaning or didn't like the style and this other people listened as people did like this value will not like this disappointment because because they like that guard that approach or what we got results it doesn't mainly matter how we got it he is the flip side to a low base so let's hope let's hope everything is in place for them to be success also and do you have it that is all you thought Michael Silver's in biases give you a little bit of information of what he wants to do what he likes to do let us know your thoughts in the comments as bars mentioned there this week on the choose this topic we've been

x14vI1_TLg0 | https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=x14vI1_TLg0 | UPDATED AMAZON 4K PINK CAMERA REVIEW | I don't think why can't I keep my fingers hey y'all welcome and welcome back to my channel my name is Alex Sheree if you are new here make sure you like comment and subscribe if you're a return subscriber hey boo by the title y'all should already know what's going on I'm actually getting ready to do an updated um review on the 4K pink Amazon camera um I did an unboxing a couple of months ago on my channel so if you didn't watch this if you didn't watch the review go watch that review and come back here for my honest opinion on how I really feel about the camera after using the camera um I've been like I said I've been getting a lot of questions about it so I was like you know what let me go ahead and just drop a video about it so everybody has stopped commenting under the post wondering how the camera is which I don't mind keep commenting ask us questions because I'm gonna answer them for you but this video is going to be more in depth about how I really feel about the camera so yeah let's jump into the video so we're back so this is the camera this is the 4K pink Amazon camera I'm gonna give y'all a little 360. of how it looks it actually comes out with the pop-out screen so when you're actually recording yourself from which you can actually see it which I like about the camera but before I even get into detail about how I really feel about this camera let's go ahead and write this camera I will write this camera 8 out of ten only because it is a good beginner's camera it has some pros and it has some cons to it um when I first got this camera it took me forever to figure out the settings on how to make the quality good of the camera so that's another reason why and then the built-in mic that they have for it it's not really good don't get me wrong you can hear yourself but it's not as loud so I did purchase a mic with the camera um I actually purchased it when I purchased the camera I did of course my research and my other reviews on the camera and I've seen that a lot of people was like you need to build their mic the mic the built-in mic on the camera is not good so you need an additional mic that needs to be added which I purchased and then I also purchased purchased a tripod that goes with it um so yeah overall I'll write the camera 8 out of 10. so let's start by saying um of course like you see it has the lens and it also comes with two additional lenses um the two additional lenses are the macro lens which you can unscrew this is the micro lens and then it also comes with a digital high definition super wide angle lens so yeah this is the first part of the lens and then of course you just put them together excuse me through and then you attach it to the camera so this is how the camera look with the actual lens on it it's not heavy but it makes it weighs just a little bit so I would say give or take this is no more than five pounds of a camera um so let's go ahead and turn it on so as y'all see as it comes on it gives you well it says welcome um let's see so I'm not sure if y'all can really see because of my ring light let's turn it off and see but as you can see the quality of it is pretty good don't get me wrong like I said it took me forever to work with the um it took me forever to try to figure out the settings on the camera so once I figured out the Sims on the camera it was easy peasy um if you are wanting to know what the quality of the camera looked like stop this video and go back to my last video that I dropped which is the Q a which I recorded with this camera so if you're wondering how the quality of the camera look stop this video and go watch my last video that I dropped which is the Q a and I'll probably record on this camera and insert little Clips on the screen to show y'all you know the quality of the camera so yeah it has a couple of buttons on the back I'm not sure if y'all can actually see it but let me turn it off and when you turn it off it does say goodbye on the back of the camera but back to the buttons as you can see for the buttons it has a T and A W which is for you to zoom in and zoom out it also gives you an option to delete um Power The Flash and then I never really play with this button so I'm not really sure what this button is for and then of course you have the display and then you have the menu button as well and then you do need an SD cord with this camera it actually came with one SD card but it was I think it's only an eight gigabyte which is not much so I purchased a 64 gigabyte for this camera which I have uh inside already which is a little slot that you can put the SD card in right there so yeah that's pretty convenient everything's at the bottom of course and then you have the slot for the battery which I already have a battery in here and this is how the battery looks it comes with two little small batteries the battery life on the camera I would say give or take depending on the quality uh that you're recording in like 4K and stuff like that that takes up a lot of camera and I'm not camera battery life so yeah give or take I would say the batteries last no more than 30 minutes depending on like the frame of the video the quality of the video that you're recording so I record in 4k so it doesn't last long for me but it comes from two batteries and then it also comes with the charging port for the batteries so I always pack this with me just in case never no never go wrong with it so yeah um like I said it does come with a flash a built-in flash in with it which is which is actually good I like the built-in flash as you can see um let's go ahead and turn the flash on so as you can see the flash is on and you just turn it off and then it has these different knobs like this first one um you'll see like the camera on it which is just for like pictures and then you also have like a slow-mo record and then you have record and then you have like a a playback of record and then you can go back and it'll show you everything that you recorded you know or whatever so overall like I said I will rate this camera 8 out of ten um so I did get off of Amazon I have all the links dropped under my previous video that I did the review on I'll just leave the links in this description box below just in case y'all or somebody might want to buy this camera um don't get me wrong it's a good camera a beginner's camera the camera was no more than 120 dollars something that I seen on Tick Tock it was like you know what I kind of want to you know pursue my YouTube career I wanted to take off so let's go ahead and get this little ammo this Tick Tock camera this Amazon 4K pink camera got it which I love so overall it's a good beginner's camera I don't see nothing wrong with it if you have kids and they like taking pictures and stuff like this this is a good camera um so yeah so I'm gonna go ahead and show y'all the built-in mic not the built-in mic the additional mic that I end up buying with the camera it is a mookie mc-1 um this is how it looks I use this cover for like when I'm inside you know where it's no wind if I do end up recording outside with my camera I end up putting the wind Muffler muffer I think that's what it's called so it'll block out the wind on the uh voice for the song and then additionally this is the tripod that I um also purchased like I said I'll leave all the links in the description box below so just check those out can I pronounce this but it's you Lindsay I believe um it's not a tall tripod but it actually is pretty long but it's not as long so that's the only con I think about this tripod but overall this is the tripod so yeah this is my honest review and honest opinion on this 4K pink Amazon camera once again I am rating it a 8 out of 10 only because it's a good beginner's camera and it took me a while to get my settings right so my video and pictures will be right and then the built-in mic that they have for it is not a good mic so I would suggest you buying an additional mic if you are interested in buying this camera so yeah this is the end of the Vlog hopefully I was able to explain everything right for this camera if you have any more questions leave them down in the comments below once again everything that I purchased with the camera will be in the description box below with the Amazon links So yeah thank you for watching and I will see y'all in the next video foreign | Alice Cherie | UCVRbgnrXVWzskUKn90vJ3CQ | 2022-12-04 |

fFfJMY41jDE | https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fFfJMY41jDE | Random Late Night Thoughts Full Stream | Disguised Toast - Twitch chat, etc... | [Music] okay [Music] do [Music] our first kiss just happened to be [Music] so [Music] do [Music] so [Music] do [Music] do raindrops star drops the clouds won't stop my umbrella hangs by the darkest doors flew now i swear a tiny palm rolls [Music] please [Music] all right let's get started shall we and three two [Music] one yeah one there we go hey hey everyone hi everybody it's me you know who i am yeah i just showered i took a really really i hate taking naps but sometimes you're just so tired and you take a nap and you wake up and you feel pretty bad that's what happened hey um tell us you almost had two million followers yeah it's gonna take a while since i don't regularly stream here um people don't really follow which makes sense because i don't stream here that often like once per month so the people who are in chat right now um they're just people who already follow so it's saying 2 million it's rounding up but if you uh look at the number exactly it's not two million was it like playing rust with pokey mic it was really fun um i like killing people in russ like i think the fun off for us is to kill people um so day one we just ran around killing randoms but when i say randoms i mean people we randomly come across not that they are random because it's a server filled with streamers but we just kept killing the same people over and over again doesn't feel that fun um but rust itself i think the first time it was new it was fun and that's why people liked it i i don't want i don't want to talk too much about the content actually no i do want to talk about content don't want to talk about content i don't know but um i just think about all these servers and content and collabs and it's kind of been overloading my brain a little bit um i think mostly because i have been thinking because i have a lot of free time these days about content especially now that among us is like dead ah yeah dead and i know people have tried i think i got invited to like five amongst lobbies since i stopped and i've turned it down each time um because i just i just don't i just don't believe in playing a game that you're not interested in even if it's for content even if it's for like viewership yeah do whatever you want yeah i know i mean right now i'm chilling but i'm feeling that anxiety of not doing anything and i think that's one of the reason why i'm even streaming right now because i feel like well at least i'm doing something even though i don't get any money from streaming on twitch not that i care about money that much wow we all care about money to some degree right uh i when i when i look at like the streamers space these days it's it's really different from how i left it like two years ago it's so different two years ago you know on twitch the focus was mostly on games like you had you're just chatting streamers your irl streamers like farming drama and all but that's always been around um but two years ago like it wasn't like amazing people just played games by themselves like solo games um like hearthstone league of legends but now sometimes i would open up the twitch directory and it's very it's very different it's it's very it's very different i thought about playing solo games um i don't know i thought about it but if i enjoy the game i'd play but even solo games right now aren't very popular everyone's trying to find something to play like the group collab meta was great for like the year and a half it was around but i feel burnt out by it a little bit i still like playing games with my friends a lot like it's always fun and i don't have to focus too much on my content because i'm just there to play games with friends but like big group games i have definitely reached a point where it's a little i don't know i feel like i complain too much like why even voice this out loud i guess i just want these thoughts out there a second twitter account not about making a second twitter account or just tweeting stuff on my main twitter whenever i just have thoughts about a podcast uh we're setting up a podcast i like the idea of podcasts i like talking i talking i don't like talk i i'm trying to talk less i'm making a conscious effort to talk less about past stuff because you know while it is cool to see like all the cool things you've done i feel like when you only talk about the stuff you've done or the stuff you've achieved it doesn't make you wanna keep going forward it's like you should talk about future stuff right like oh yeah i was the humongous god i was the hearthstone god but i think because right now i got nothing going on really sometimes i make my feel make myself feel better by talking about what i've done in the past but then i realized it kind of messes with me because it's like oh you know i don't have to do more stuff yeah the react meta is also a little not my style because i i don't really the things i re like have a visible reaction to are my own videos because i find myself hilarious oh my god what is this guy saying hang on half full hearthstone that's just two separate words you put together i know hoffland i know hearthstone your message just has nothing been has been nothing but play hearthstone with a hag you hague the city you created this account april 22nd and you followed april 22nd and you didn't talk for three months exactly three months by the way and all you say is half of hearthstone i'm sure there are great hearthstone streamers you can watch on that right now it's not exactly a great time to be a a blizzard content creator yeah blizzard is for those who don't know there's a recent article about the state of california the literal state government state the entire state of california uh suing was it suing blizzard for sexual harassment in the workplace it's really messed up like some of the [ __ ] that went on there and i heard and i hope this doesn't i mean warning it talks about really sensitive topics if you guys are like triggered by that um a lady like in the articles like took her own life because her supervisor was apparently like harassing her it's it's really really disturbing uh someone someone messaged me on twitter or maybe it was an email saying like toast did you know about all this is this why you stopped playing hearthstone like no i stopped playing hearthstone because hey i was just burnt out on the game and b my experience with blizzard employees is a coin flip it's always either someone who really cares about blizzard games and games in general and i just chill ass dudes and dudettes and on the flip side you have egotistical social climbing corporate stooges who actually doesn't give a [ __ ] about the game they represent like pretty much everyone i've met is like flipping a coin and it's kind of crazy to see like these two types of people try and work together on a game now even on the same team yeah it kind of sucks i can't say it really sucks um asmongo was talking about it yeah i hear blizzard doesn't like asthma gold because he's like overly critical but i always thought asmond asmongo was really fair and his takes on gaming and most things like i don't agree with all of them but he's always been really fair like when he played final fantasy he gave it like like a straight shot he didn't go in with any prejudice didn't go in with any um preconceived notion i know i think some game companies don't like having someone represent them too much like riot had something similar with tyler1 right to a point where they had to reverse their stance on tyler1 after it got leaked that it right and play was literally what was it something about calling him up calling him a homunculus and i imagine something similar with blizzard and asmongo the wow team and asmongold [Music] and it was a little a little bit of my experience with the hearthstone team and me back when i was like on the up and up i remember someone from blizzard saying they didn't like putting all their eggs in one basket which is why i got left out of some things because i mean it makes sense because if i ever had a problem with blizzard i would say blizzard sucks and all that promo they invested in me would have backfired but i don't exactly go around saying blizzards suck for no reason will you play gta rp no well i mean if i feel like it right now i'm just kind of kind of burned out of games so i'm kind of burned out of wow i mean i'm i'm burned out of pure streaming if that makes sense it's i i don't [Music] i don't think just purely streaming is the way to go as a content creator you'll make money life will always be very sustainable but we're kind of in this culture while i am at least like everyone in our friend group where we see each other just stream and stream and stream he's like oh he's streaming and you stream oh she's streaming on your stream i think our friend group has always been very like see what is successful for one person and everyone then do that and it's it's it's hard when that's the culture right and everyone's trying to find something like everyone's trying different things but in the back of my head i do feel pressure and it's not pressure that anyone is putting on me it's more just maybe i'm overthinking things but i feel pressured to find the next thing and until i do we're just kind of stuck in limbo like when i when i see people like numbers go down or when i see them try something and doesn't work and they get demoralized and they go back to playing valorent it's it makes me want to find a thing right but i i don't think i can like a thing isn't you really force but i don't know how to split my time right now between my own [ __ ] otv the individuals in otv the greater friend group i don't know tell us why not do things that make you happy the sentiment is correct but that is not helpful not even remotely and normally i let it slide but i've seen it suggested by 20 people in chat thank you i know you mean well not helpful remotely not even a little bit you know what i would put it in the negatives because seeing it makes me roll my eyes but i do appreciate the sentiment it's just like telling someone who's sad to be stop being sad on your vacation i actually don't like vacations i need something i don't need a break i've been on a break people say go take a vacation i actually don't like vacation i hate vacations like every time i go to the movies and it ends i just feel guilty because i just sat in a dark room for two hours watching a show which honestly i shouldn't because i spend hours watching twitch streams and scrolling through reddit url content i mean i think what i would want to do or what i would like to pursue isn't the traditional streamer stuff or youtube gaming stuff anymore like i want to do things with more impact and purpose eventually not right away like i'll still play games i'll still still be on random irl streams but i want to do i want to do cool stuff mentoring other streamers not really i mean i'm good at that but at the end of the day i'm just teaching someone to do something i already know and i've done it in my own way when it comes to like raising streamers and it's nice but i i want to do something that is more for myself come back to twitch and stream random games uh i don't know if that will creatively i mean if it's just streaming random games i'm not gonna be happy with that i think speaking of which well no not speaking witch i was gonna mention it's been almost two years huh since i left twitch and i know i do miss some things about twitch but right now when i look at like what's popular on twitch i don't feel like i can do that or i even want to do that because at the end of the day i really like i do like playing games like the stuff that people talk about nowadays that gets you views seems like reacting or drama or gambling or hot tub or asmr the last two is like fine to do um but it's just it wasn't the twitch that i left if that makes sense yeah i i know there's a lot of suggestions in chat and i appreciate it make a game make this do this do that but the odds of me taking suggestions from twitch chat's a little low because i mean i know what i'm interested in it's just a matter of doing it do you regret going to facebook not at all i'm really happy i did it i don't think i would have found among us without it i don't think i would have became nearly as popular as i am now if i'd stayed on twitch churning out tft content huh ah what else is on your mind what else is on my mind i'm just really aimless and i feel bad because there's this pressure from everyone that i put on myself because you're in your 30s i'm not in my 30s yet bro i'm still in my 20s but yeah i'm getting old man i don't have much youth left 29 but still technically in my 20s do you not enjoy vlogging with my friends i it's fun but it's also really hard to want to vlog because a lot of people vlog the same thing and because we all do things as a group and we're all content creators i don't like it when five people are vlogging the same thing and i'm not gonna be like hey stop vlogging the better thing would be just to vlog things that like i'm organizing or i want to vlog specifically i don't think there's anything wrong with multiple people vlogging the same event uh but i i kind of like my channel to be like more different and i don't want to make it weird because when it comes to vlogging speed is one thing as well and i don't want to tell my editor go go go go get it out get out get out right now something like jacksepticeye i did was pretty cool yeah i saw that jack um made a video about like how you felt during quarantine right the pressure the camera i like that a lot i felt similar and i'm really like i'm glad he did it because it seemed like it was a passion project for him for him to like get his feelings out there for people to know what he's going through did you watch inside by bo burnham yeah i think something like that is very well done and something within reach i just it's just about doing it and right now i'm in that space between wanting to do it but not wanting to actually put in the effort but i'm slowly getting there i just i think i get distracted by easy things i can be doing like right now like streaming like it's so easy to feel productive and feel like you're working on something because it's right there it's like i can just go live right now where like in the long term i don't think it really benefits you that much like is this stream gonna benefit me realistically well mentally it probably helps so i'm glad i'm doing it but career-wise now now there's thousands of streams thousands of streamers every day every hour all that entertainment and content is available 24 7. chat as a therapy ain't it yeah i know i would does it seem like i'm the type to take advice from chad on how to live my life no offense chad i feel like i insult you guys too much and don't take it personal but i mean if you open up chat i hope you guys understand why as a collective i don't take advice from you guys i'm sure there are smart people in chat that i'm unfairly grouping in with the with the masses show off hands if you're that person but if you're smart enough to think like that you're also smart enough to understand why i don't accept twitch chat's life advices but not you because you're you're you're different you're smarter than them you're not like the other twitch chatter yeah i think um i need to find something i find and you'll find something challenging again and when it comes to streaming i'm like i've done i would say 90 percent off like the streamer life the streamer lifestyle the streamer accomplishment did i ever hit 100k viewers now but let's say i hit 100k viewers hence like is that really gonna change my life it'll be really hype for sure and i'd probably feel good about it for a month but it's like the amount of effort or required to like get that last remaining 10 it's just not worth the time but there are other spaces right the arts directing music writing producing where i'm like zero percent i'm zero percent in those zero percent in anything artistic dancing music painting zero percent in directing zero percent in writing that it makes you think like in those particular industries those roles how much of how much can i achieve right someone said pornhub i mean even pornhub like if i want to be an adult star like how far can i go like i will for sure get a significant audience just because of who i am in the first video i ever make and that would catapult me to maybe like the top fifty percent and i i'll maybe i would challenge myself like okay how do i hit the next level do i need to make my dick bigger do i need to get more girls or more guys is the shot well is this female catering or male catering right am i gonna lean into like step mom step dad stuff like stuff like that it's a challenge to explore those but when it comes to streaming specifically uh i've seen ninety percent of the things i'm gonna see i feel like and the ten percent i'm okay with not hitting 100k viewers or doing a particular kind of content i've never done all right i would like to be more behind the scenes stuff i still like streaming like at the end of the day i got into streaming because i love playing games i got into hearthstone because i loved warcraft 3 and i was obsessed with the lore and the characters and playing diablo but i think i would always stream [Music] but i want my my time in streaming to be more impactful then hey guys welcome to today's stream we're gonna be playing some valentine for five hours and then i'm gonna [ __ ] off i'll probably still do that i mean i've been doing that but is this something i want to do i like playing games but it it's something i think that's fine if it's my free time like my free time is streaming but if it's something like this is my five hours that i'm gonna put into work and like try and achieve something it shouldn't be streaming five hours of valor rent right it's like because i'm giving you five hours to work on your career and i like hey guys today we're gonna be playing cipher on bind let me show you the sick lineup if that's the case then i'm not i'm not progressing if it's more like hey uh and i got five hours before my dinner plans so you guys want to play some valor that's fine that's just playing games with friends and then you streaming to an audience but um right now i'm not putting that five hours into anything it's more just lying in bed thinking about the things i want to do sounds like a mid-life crisis yeah i go through one of these like every six months when i lose my purpose like i lost among us i get like this because i i always need to be like focus on something but i just once among us lost interest for me i i stopped right i'm not going to stress it out and i'm worried that just purely streaming has been reaching that point with me if it's just purely streaming i like doing events i like hosting shows i like doing podcasts i like like ludwig's mogul money that was fun that was a good use of two hours uh technically three because it was like ludwig told me was in l.a and it was like the greater los angeles area and it was like an hour wave but then ludwig drives way longer to come see us for stuff so podcast for toast um i mean once the otv podcast gets going i'll have that outlet but sometimes i think about starting my own podcast but that again is just i feel like i'm just reaching for things right i think i'll get my fill of podcasting with offline tv already and it's yeah it's kind of like structured every single week me why don't you put your platform to a good cause like running for politics i always found politics to be very interesting because they make it all about like policies and laws and like rights which it is but 60 of the time i feel like it's whoever is more likable than the other guy like if you if you ask me hey toast do you think obama did a great job first of all i'm canadian but you know obama seemed really cool he seemed like a cool guy he was on uh talk shows and uh he did getting a coffee with comedians with jerry seinfeld why are those the things i remember right i think politics would be fun and challenging in trying to do pr for a politician i remember i was in canada this was my first look into how like politics marketing work i was in canada i was doing a coding competition because i'm a [ __ ] nerd it's a what would they called hackathon they were called hackathons have been so long it was like a hackathon for like medical stuff doctor stuff and i like participating in hackathons a lot this was a smaller one so i went there and i just trying to cobble together some kind of app to help doctors and a local politician came in and it's like it's classic right politician visits you know students learning to code for health care great feels good i just remember he had this assistant like i'm sure it's his like campaign manager and there was a whiteboard and it was completely empty because no one uses a whiteboard it's just there and like if we had stuff we just write on our own like sheet or whatever no one was using it and i when it was time for pictures his assistant took a marker and just starting started writing like math equations that didn't make sense it was just numbers and equals and symbols and like i think he sneaked in an element from the periodic table in there and then had the politician take a picture in front of it with the students to make it look like oh look at all this brainy student hacking [ __ ] going on and here's our politician here supporting it it's like wow that's hot that's that's cool i like that like i would love to do something like that i mean that was kind of it was like bro i don't think your politicians getting elected or reelected if there's some numbers in the back but it's all about it's all about the shot right it's all about what you feed to the masses um i always thought that was i always thought pr so such a great challenge to do like when content creators get cancelled like their responses are always very interesting like when i got my problematic i do quotations and no people on twitter are gonna get triggered problematics like oh he this [ __ ] didn't learn his lesson huh problematic pass like i remember it's like the only thing i'm gonna apologize for is if i legitimately hurt people's feelings who weren't expecting it when they watched like my la like my old otv video and other than that i'll explain my action why i did it but i'm not apologizing oh god here we go again and when i see like how different content creators handle it it's it's always interesting i think at the end of the day if you just ignore twitter your life would be fine if you if you're not on twitter and someone tried to cancel you and you just went on your day and still streamed and still made youtube videos you probably wouldn't even notice maybe there's a weird guy in chat saying like hey you're that blah blah blah and you be like who the [ __ ] are you get the [ __ ] on my chat right like i think realistically i've seen like content creators do some shitty shitty shitty things creepy things and they disappear for two months and then they come back and just upload and then it's like nothing happened just back on my old [ __ ] again so i should go on twitter less this that app is not good for my mental how how do i i need to get off twitter i don't know how to do it but i really want to get on twitter it sucks because twitter is the platform for gamers like every gamer streamer is on twitter youtuber and i really really want to stop but i am so desperate for any attentional recognition that i can't i'm addicted to that dopamine when people are talking to me it's really bad i know and yeah i need to stop i need to figure out a way to use twitter in a way that's healthy that's just not me scrolling through the timeline seeing all this [ __ ] seeing all this back and forth i mean there's some cool stuff you see on twitter it's like oh wow i didn't know this game was coming out thanks twitter but like it's either it's like i would get tweets about i just drama stuff which helps keep me up to date but at the end of the day it's like do i really benefit from reading all of this but yeah i um i need to get off twitter i but i just know i'm gonna relapse and go on twitter i need to do it in a way that won't cause me to relapse so right now i got three vices twitter reddit and twitch that if i feel like if i'm not doing anything i'll just open one of those up delete twitter like the app in general the company the lead twitter delete the whole thing [ __ ] like i still care about dms i still care if someone like tweets at me and wants to do something like that's how me and bretman connected and i'm really thankful for twitter making that happen and how me and jack connected and would have happened without twitter right so it makes me not want to delete twitter because it's how it's a way to meet people that i do want to meet that i'm glad i met ugh do you have an assistant i mean i don't really want someone to have me do i i mean like i mean i could hire someone it's like your job is to scroll through twitter for me and see if anyone talks about me or maybe chat you guys can do that and whenever someone tweets at me you just spam it in chat you guys can be my social media assistant i actually do need a i do need a personal assistant like an in person i have one that helps me manage sponsorship but i i need one in real life like in los angeles to drive me places to fetch me coffee okay i probably would never make them fetch me coffee because that's ubereats but because i don't drive i need someone to uh drive me places and i can bark at them hey pick me up and i'll pay them i'll pay them like i don't know 4k a month to be my assistant you get to meet famous people and uh what else it's like hey go rent a basketball court i don't know why that came to mind hey do a research who's the best boxing trainer in los angeles set up a meeting stuff like that only 4k i mean 4k to just run around seems pretty good eighty percent of the time would be yours it's just the 20 i'm gonna be barking at you which some would say it's a benefit i'll do it for 2 000 guys this isn't a government bidding system apparently that's how government gives out contracts and jobs it's whoever offers the less money that it costs but yeah i'll build that building for two thousand dollars i'll build that public bridge for pedestrian for one thousand dollars i'll do it for free i don't want anyone to do it for free i hate that that's like if you're gonna do a good job i'm gonna pay you handsomely money's not an issue competency is i feel bad for my editors they haven't had a job in like months i pay them like pretty well like a very well edited video is a thousand bucks but right now i just don't have content for them to do and i feel bad because they're all like really competent and really smart what was that i just have them they're just working on the second channel for highlights but i just i just yeah i think um oh god oh no my lights died oh i didn't get no light hang on let me put on a video for you guys how do you guys like that jennifer stuff right was it jcs yeah go look at this if you guys haven't seen it on 10 other streamers channels already this is 26 year old dawson mcgee sitting in a police interrogation at least pretend like you haven't seen this yet the monday night before he stabbed his own mother to death for asking him to move out of the house and get a job dawson is unaware that he is being recorded on a hidden camera in three seconds from now he will hear the sound of the door being opened by a detective and at that exact moment you will see a remarkably noticeable switch in his demeanor will that's what i'm asking you i was waiting for my brother and sister to tell me okay well um well was your sister home this weekend when do you think i suppose i'm supposed to have an attorney if you want one am i supposed to have another question well that's up to you if you if you like one but i mean we like to talk to you um it would come as no surprise that a judge deemed him fit to stand trial a jury then found him legally sane and he was sentenced to life in prison for the murder of his mother all of which was in spite of a continuous charade of mental illness similar to the one you see here dawson clearly believed that his passage through the legal system would somehow be easier if he were presumed insane which is a naive yet somewhat common misconception that many suspects make when facing serious charges they have this notion that a plea of insanity would either lower the severity of their punishment or liberate them from it altogether that instead of being sent to prison they would simply be released back into society perhaps with a free psychotherapeutic program to attend on the weekends this is of course a far cry from reality in the united states if you're found responsible for a serious offense but also found not guilty of the crime by reason of insanity you will be institutionalized at a high security psychiatric facility these institutions are without questions some of the darkest and most disturbing places in the system and if you're not actually suffering from the crippling effects yeah i mean that's that's kind of problem right it's just it's just uh oh i mean the video is interesting holy [ __ ] ray reacting to it has 400 000 that's insane that's like that's like a whole video like that itself is a video 400 000 views like 400 000 people watch her react to a video that's crazy uh oh it is bright it ends me up oh [ __ ] please don't fall okay sorry those these lights are like a thousand bucks it's not mine i stole them from offline tv i would probably say you know um these are gonna and whom she had been dating in secret for almost eight years she was eventually found out in 2010 when her parents discovered she had been living a double life and was then given an ultimatum at 24 years old she had to choose between one of two options option one was that she had to live at home under a strict regime cease all contact with her boyfriend and only leave the house to go back to school and pursue an education option two is that she could do whatever she wanted but she would then be disowned now someone else reacted that please effects of mental please start a collab with hassan i mean i don't think me and hassan talk about the same things i think he's a really chill dude though all my interactions with him has been super positive how's the meeting html that's fine really nice boy really tall oh so there you go and watch jcs now i mean it seems pretty i didn't know it was only like an hour long like with how much streamers have been watching it i thought this was like a 10 hour series or something i don't know how they stretched out over the course of 20 streams it's crazy i was like oh my god they're still watching it there are multiple videos but i swear to god i saw a streamer on that jennifer's [ __ ] for like a week you have to pause a lot right to react i can't do it i can't i can't i like that i i don't know like if it's content i like i don't mind watching it but how can i sit on my high horse poking funds at react streamer and then being a react streamer you know you know i can't do it i need to do it ironically look the only thing i have is a high horse to judge others on and look down on them rack to your pico park video huh oh wait the gray has a laser sorry [Music] no way [Music] oh yeah push it left for toast wait what happened on the left too oh the block on someone's head so bounce yeah we can oh we can shoot how does this okay now hold right no i didn't say joke why are you hearing these instructions from are these voices in your head all right you're gonna both jump at the same time perfectly perfectly all right on this is gonna be great i'm gonna say three two one go and then you're gonna both jump all right one two three go lily go let's go lily go holy [Music] i literally gave you guys step-by-step instruction it's so baffling to me it's so straightforward good times reminds me of our world of warcraft raids although i do get a little a little worried sometimes that i might um actually hurt people's feelings because it is so like baseline for me to yell at people that sometimes i forget it is like if someone you don't really know yelled at you or if you're having a bad day or if you're being sensitive not being sensitive but it's just like you know maybe you had a bad day everything kind of sucks i can't imagine like getting yelled at would be like a little hurtful or like pressured but um i think i think generally it's fine but yeah i do um after streams i i i think to myself is like that i go a little overboard and usually know like maybe a couple times in my entire like streaming career where like after i felt like i went a little too hard but yeah it's really funny for sure but you always gotta be aware of that line because not everyone's gonna always be the same move throughout every single stream right the psychonauts then okay i'm gonna ban this guy because you don't know what you're talking about as someone who was there and the fact that you're perpetuating that the sakura incident is related to me or rey like yelling at him that day and among us is [ __ ] gross because i was there i'm not sure if you know this but i was actually you know in the house with cycuno when it happened and i talked to him after and i know why he was not feeling great that day okay i saw like four other people's reference that i'm going to let them go because i'm too late to screw up scroll up but it's crazy once again i think this is one thing that burned me out of being like a public facing personality is people saying [ __ ] like that you know what i'm going to scroll i'm going to find it who's the hell said it huh what else said it oh they left damn it [ __ ] it i'll bring up the vod bring up the [ __ ] vod unless they um apologize before i see their names there where are you where are you where are you i don't know if i said it but please or i apologize [ __ ] get him [ __ ] i'm i'm going to get you i'm going to get you i'm going to get you oh there it is bok bok did this [ __ ] apologize on where the [ __ ] you at did you type do i do i see a sorry from you how do i how do i find the logs of someone where are you where are you do slash logs like this does that work [ __ ] [ __ ] check oh there you are [Music] oh i'm telling you it's me it was me i did i'm sorry i'm so sorry oh [ __ ] that's too funny can i buy can i give you a sub bro let me give you a sub man thanks for owning up to it holy [ __ ] somebody give that guy a sub oh someone gifted myself that's [ __ ] funny all right i don't have soaps on twitch oh my god what's wrong with me yo someone give them a supporter in facebook oh god yo bachbach you want to self to any other twitch channel oh [ __ ] that's funny know what some yeah no give them what's up to saikuno i'm sure he's a big cycling fan oh that was funny yes i love cyclone as you should he's a very nice boy hey hey psychonaut fan kick w come on guys that's my boy there's nothing wrong with being a cool fan i'm gonna [ __ ] ban this guy now i'm gonna ban this guy now 24 hours why can't we all just be friends huh he's gonna hold a vendetta now it's funny um people who get banned like actually banned from my chat ends up like really hating me kind of i mean kind of makes sense but i've had people who like love my content and they would get banned because they said something stupid and then they would do a 180 and like dedicate all their time and effort into hating me oh i always had this question if there's a streamer that you are very similar to are you more likely to enjoy the content or not enjoy the content right because on one hand if they're very similar it's like you can relate to them on the other hand some people might think it's like oh there's nothing special about this guy right i mean i'm like him why is he such a big deal because i i remember i have this like huge hater on like like the lsf subreddit but his history shows that he used to post like almost every day in the offline tv subreddit until he got banned because he was being he was saying some weird [ __ ] and since he got banned he just became the biggest toast hater ever and i'm always very curious like what causes people to like be like that and i went through his retirement sometimes i do that and it's like he was saying how he was a taiwanese canadian like and he's into like this the stem stuff which is kind of me i'm a taiwanese canadian who majored in mathematics it's like do i does he i've wondered like do they resent me because they're like me it's like why do i get to be famous and like when they got banned from being weird it's like does this make them want to become a super villain and like i'm gonna show you they hate us because they ain't us yeah it's like an obsession thing i swear that's like a plot to a movie or something iron man 3 or was it the incredibles that was both right because in iron man 3 like iron man kind of clowns on this scientist and he's like i'm gonna become a bigger scientist kind of was that iron man 3 wasn't that great yeah they take a real personal i can kind of relate to that when i was um when i was in university and i applied for a job i was at this company called palantir and the guy who interviewed me was like a friend of day nine who for those who don't know is um like a really big starcraft guy back in the day and a really positive guy and i recognize him because i i watched a lot of day nine stuff back then but when i got rejected from the job you know i was like god damn you day nine how could you do this to me even though he had nothing to do with it and even though i was like really under qualified for the job like this is all your fault i'm gonna become a bigger streamer one day now i understand when i got turned down from my riot interview my god [ __ ] riot i'll show you isn't that kpop band that's day six oh my god what happened to my audience that they don't know day nine and they think i'm talking about day six no no i'm not i'm not a i'm not a normie i'm not a minecraft youtuber for you to stand i'm not i'm not a kpop guy for you to stand please i love gaming and weird jokes that are inappropriate what happened i needed any i need a i need to find a happy medium between my passion and the new frogs while you're wearing earrings like a k-pop star then okay i'll be honest i thought you know okay anyone here watch it's always sunny in philadelphia please say yes oh god of chess like i know philadelphia at the state where is this state no it's a city i'm not american so the main actor in that show got really fat one season like really really fat in one season and then next season he got really ripped like really ripped and when people ask him why he did that he said he was just he thought it'd be funny that's a joke and i kind of want to do that except i'm too lazy i want to look really cool and then just say the most offensive things not on purpose not to hurt people's feelings i always i just think that that dichotomy would be funny because like when they see like cool asian guys it's usually like a k-pop star that's under a really really oppressive contract in an agency in korea or something but i can say whatever i want not that i mean not that i would ever purposely hurt people's feelings or be offensive for the sake of being offensive but i just think that'd be funny to do one day but then i forget i'm really really lazy when it comes to fitness it would be funny though there's also a lot of effort for a one-off joke you guys ever try and diet and it goes well for two days and then you just order mcdonald's because you know you had a bad day and you're like hi [ __ ] man and then you just fall off the wagon and then you try again like in a week and then it's five days but oh your friends are hanging out it's cave barbecue tonight and they got beer you ever go to the gym for five days straight and you're feeling good but oh you're busy that day and then you're busy the next day ah you already missed two days and then you go back for two days and then you just [ __ ] off and never go back pokey said someone paid for you guys at dinner what happened oh yeah a random stranger anonymously paid for dinner for nine people a few days ago in korea town we don't know who it is or any indication that was very nice of him i want to say thank you to that person i don't know who you are i wish i can take a picture with you i'll give you recognition also i would say unless you're elon musk you definitely paid for dinner for someone richer and i hope you're not a student on a budget but i appreciate the gesture but it feels bad because i can't even direct that gesture at you so if you're there if you're out there thank you and then we went to this um shaved ice cream desertery after and i think 10 people took pictures with me so i want one of the ideas i had was i want to start doing something for people when they recognize me like when someone comes up to me in public i want to like do something for them like something as simple as giving them five bucks which is like the simplest thing i feel like to here's a pen a pin or two like um hey spin this wheel and you have a chance to win a thousand bucks i mean i take i take pictures with everyone but i want to do something that i can kind of like record and it will be like the video would just be a compilation of me doing this particular thing for the entire video i just i just don't know what i would do do i just give him five bucks here you go thanks thanks for recognizing me something that makes them like feel like oh wow that was great you know like taking a picture with me i think makes them really happy already but i i kind of want to leave a good impression right to make to make their day that's pretty cringe well when you're famous for playing video games maybe you can make a suggestion that's not cringe don't do it don't don't ban him he doesn't he's just a simple child oh okay i should restraint give them merch um like a whole shirt i mean i think that's cute but i don't think it's good for like content like a video there is a middle ground how about my underwear now that'd be weird is that legal donate money to charity i mean i think that's a good cause but for the individual i don't think they would be that excited i pay for their dinner no but then i get recognized when i'm not at like a dinner place i i don't know i give them a lottery ticket and when they win my title is i gave away a million dollars oh my [ __ ] god i'm so smart wait no am i promoting gambling oh god what if we get some hook well if they what if they get hooked by that one taste of gambling because their favorite streamer encouraged them to gamble and sends them down this bad path but no i can't do that what kind of streamer would do something like that right i don't know an autograph i mean autograph kind of comes with the picture i mean people usually ask for a picture or an autograph but a wheel would make a video yeah probably a wheel like oh i'm but then i would have to carry a wheel around and then i would have to like have different things on the wheel spin this wheel you can either get five dollars or ten thousand dollars that i have in my pocket right now please don't rob me say hey guys if you ever recognize me just know that i'm carrying up to 10k in cash venmo i mean if cash app wants to sponsor me and i can pay people in cash app i'll have to ask them for like the rights to use their image right is it awkward if you guys meet me in public and i say hey can you sign this release for me to use you in my video is that weird i mean you're asking me for a picture right hey you wanna be in a disguise toast video sign this tells plushie i want i want it to be like a little more interactive but but i i think it'd be fun like these are the random ideas that i have that i just don't do tells trivia i thought about that it's like hey what's my favorite hearthstone deck and they win 100 bucks is that too much 20 bucks 20 bucks here's a 20 for ya and the next person rock paper scissors for 20 bucks now sign this nda please [ __ ] i don't want to carry around a stack of paper if you're approaching me uh okay i'm not sure how legally this works but i declared that if you ask for a picture with me i own the right to your likeness and imagery to use and distribute in my youtube videos i declared it there you go so uh man that should legally cover me 20 bucks i think 20 bucks is a good amount 100 bucks i'm gonna lose a lot of money really fast oh [ __ ] i don't know what i'm starting please i i'll let you know i'll let you guys know when i start if you find me in public and you take a picture with me don't expect 20 bucks imagine they come to you as a group i mean they will have to answer the question right i think that'd be fun i gave viewers money and it's like a trivia thing yeah i think that's nice and simple would i feel bad when they get the answer wrong nah i think that's one the nice thing if i make it 20 bucks because i make it a thousand bucks it's like oh god i could have made a thousand dollars what if strangers start coming up to me i bet what's gonna happen is like i'm gonna do that and then like a complete stranger on the side of the street sees it like hey can i get 20 bucks sir it's just trivia right i know trivia very funny that would be funny that would be funny why do viewers gave you money it feels really weird when viewers give me money both online and in real life i'm pretty sure people donated during the stream as well that i definitely did not read because i just don't do that it's not like a thing i do but let me just check that no one donated and crazy amount of money that would make me uncomfortable 25 dollars from one hour ago twitch has devolved into reality cable tv yeah kinda i mean reality tv was popular for a reason right people like watching ratchet [ __ ] and people are on twitch are no different but if you bring up like jersey shore or keep like people on lsf will turn their nose up at keeping up with the kardashian or jersey shore and then proceed to spend 12 hours of their life invested in streamer drama talking about other streamers and think somehow it's different like it's okay to like trashy content don't have a high horse about it like i like trashy content i watched the whole season of that too hot to handle show on netflix where they took really hot guys and girls and put them on an island and told them they can't have sex i'm not gonna be like yeah i only watch real reality tv not that keeping up with the kardashian garbage was it a stupid concept concept and like shallow and vapid yeah did i watch the whole season yeah because that's what like a lot of people like and that's okay my editors have been working overtime [Music] an [ __ ] would have done just fine you want no trouble you found trouble [Music] see russ is fun when you're an [ __ ] but it's definitely not fun for the other guy which really i think that's one of the downside of a streamer server is that you can't really be an [ __ ] because it's other content creators that you're probably gonna meet one day listen to my cheery tune look at my cool guitar little boy i love this way on the map come this way little boy there's a very cool cave over here that we could hide in and we could play tunes until the sun go i i think we try to make it funny but at some point you just it just feels really bad yeah there are trees russia russia [Music] jesus christ i think that rushing it down really [ __ ] works huh has invigorated me [Music] yeah rust it's like this time the rust streamers that had drops aria like painted really beautiful paintings for 90 of it and the other streamers gambled on the on the wheel for 90 of it it's just because pvp isn't encouraged it's it's weird it's not it's definitely not how the game is meant to be played i think i'll try and do rust in four months three to four months and remind me if i still care about streaming then i think i will but i i do have an idea that well hopefully fix things but honestly all these things like it's it's all just experiments but i wouldn't i would not play rust within the next four months when will minecraft be back uh like end of the year the server this time around i didn't really want to do so early but i did it to like collect data and like get an idea for what works and what doesn't that was really eye-opening but originally i wanted a minecraft server at the end of the year honestly it sucked when it didn't work out and people are making it sound like oh man toast or otv are terrible at maintaining a minecraft server but the expectation for this server was always to just let's experiment best case scenario it's really popular and it works out but my expectation was pretty low because we weren't like the mod pack wasn't coded in a way that would allow longevity it was great for ryan june wendy daf um and i'm glad they had fun and i'm glad they all like averaged 10 000 viewers for two weeks it's really nice to be able to like organize something that they excel in but yeah in an ideal world it would be something they would want to play on for the long term but the server just wasn't equipped for that and you know a big part of it was because i wasn't around because i had a lot of [ __ ] going on and also the vegas trip which points to like a deeper rooted problem that a server shouldn't die because i'm not on it like i definitely could have like maybe set it up better but it wasn't gonna be possible with the amount of time we had because we had like a week from when people say hey i don't kind of want to try minecraft it's like i'm sure we can cobble together a server with a mod pack but if you want longevity it's gonna take months to build something that like really sustains and it's sad that it died but um i don't think it's fair to knock on us or like the people behind the server just because it didn't last past two weeks because it had a good run people had good viewership that was good story and the leslie's talent show was really well done but like why [ __ ] on people for trying something different even if it didn't work out right that kind of behavior or attitude just makes people not want to try new things not want to try new games with new servers it's already hard enough for some people to stream new games because their viewership goes down i feel like i just think about things that maybe i shouldn't think about like when i look at my friends a few of them played mug today right and i see their viewership go down a bit like is it my problem no but i just it must feel really disheartening to want to play new games with your friends but to see your numbers go down and to see viewers criticize you it makes you not want to go out of your shell right yeah i'll see i try not i shouldn't think that much about streaming i should think about non-streaming stuff streaming isn't the entire world i'm just in this culture where all everyone talks about the streaming and i need to be able to like mentally section myself up about your numbers i don't really care about my numbers right now because i think i'm a little past that point or 10k now 15k does it really matter now at the height of among us i hit 40k on facebook like does that number itself mattered no like the whole humongous blob was great and that mattered but like is it like the actual number right day-to-day doesn't matter i had this revelation four years ago when i was tired of streaming hearthstone i thought to myself it's like because when i was grinding hearthstone i was streaming five hours every day and one day i'm like okay i can stream today and maybe i'll average 12k viewers what what does that translate to or if i miss the stream tomorrow why i can't miss a stream tomorrow that's crazy i brought a laptop to every hotel room i stayed at to stream i thought like what would be what happens if you missed a day or i can't miss a day because then my overall average viewership will go down because people think i'm not streaming anymore right yeah that's a it's a tough balance but um i need to i need i really need to start doing things i care about instead of getting distracted it's like oh streaming's so easy streaming is just right there we're just playing games with friends it's okay right that's okay this has been therapeutic there's a lot of thoughts off my mind ultimately nothing have changed it depends on me not being lazy but at least it's out there so probably still need a couple more months to really find my stride oh yeah should find someone to host right oh and my hosting oh my whole stay oh i got a i got a host my boy box box he's playing team fight tactics tell him that i always watch him play tft and i kind of wish he wasn't so high ranked because now we can't queue together all right bye guys you | Disguised Toast - Behind The Scenes | UC7OmeYRSxWCaleauAaDLrxQ | 2021-07-23 | Creative Commons Attribution license (reuse allowed) | en | metadata | en |

Ka4Z647S8MU | https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ka4Z647S8MU | UPTECH laser tape measure review and tool giveaway draw and new tool @ C&T episode 223 | [Music] how about a tape measure that has scale on both sides huh coming up howdy folks coffee tools here yeah let's take a look at a tape measure this is a new one from a company called uptech and they uh sent this into me to take a look at it and said it's it's new it's you know it's developed it's a really good one we want you to look at it this is all right you know what bring it on in we'll take a look uh we'll give it a shot and right away i looked at it and said okay it's got a laser any good let's find out there we go for our first test i thought well we'll just set up a long long ruler with the laser at one end now the zero for the laser is technically right back in here about well it's said to be like right back here where this is so i'm going to try to i guess we'll say duplicate that we're going to start the laser which comes with two buttons uh the first button is going to start the laser up or at least start the reading and we can do this in inches feet whatever we're going to do in inches because this seems like a fair test and at the other end of the scale i have a little block set up here which will be our target block so that should give us you know an idea as to how good or how bad now to read it there's a little uh just press it a second time the laser is now on and we will now push for a reading okay and we are showing 43.9 inches and the block is at 44 inches so we're point one of an inch off but let's try this and we'll reshoot it maybe that's where the zero is on this that's the first thing i i had a problem with us trying to figure exactly there it is 44 yeah wow hey that's actually uh correct and accurate okay so right off the beginning here at the very front of this tape measure is where i'm reading from and it's giving me an exact 44 inch reading which if we go down here to where the block is the block is you can see here i've got it set up at exactly 44 inches on the mark and it's showing let's see if we can see this see if i can show it to you yeah there you go and it's at exactly four it's showing 44 inches so that's a pretty accurate measurement at that point i don't know about you know 200 feet or something i'm not sure how that would work out but uh just seeing that is kind of intense because it's kind of like you know what yeah this might be all right it's easy enough to use to shut the system off you hit both buttons at the same time and it shuts the whole top off to the readout there's two batteries that go in the back double triple triple a batteries excuse me go in the back of the tape measure here the tape measure feels pretty light it's not too bulky or heavy got a nice you know clip on it for your belt or whatever i like this rubber piece i got at the front it's a rubberized uh front little different and it has a i guess a nice hook it doesn't have the usual you know silly teeth back here to grab into something it has a nice rubberized hook so that will hook to a bench nicely now unlike any tape measure i've ever used unless you push the button the brake is on like it's it's dragging the whole time so again a little different i think they tried to make some improvements over the uh the basic tape measure and at the same time they also added this you know interesting laser made by a company out there called uptech and i'll give you more information about them in the description below and all that and where you can find these things but uh right now this one will go up to 200 feet plus it has a nice scale here now what i don't know is how many feet the actual tape measure goes to i think it should stay here somewhere well there's only one way to do that is just pull the whole thing out it does go up to 196cm ah 100 196 almost 197 inches but 16 foot so technically this is equivalent to a 16 foot tape measure also i'm going to just back it off again here uh the other thing it has which is kind of interesting a little different again on one side we have all the metric on the other side we have the standard nice yellow background which is nylon coated which is good the scale i like because it shows very clearly and you can see clearly the the distance between the half inch and say the quarter inch breakdown so if you're going for three eighths or something you can count it off one two and three oh there's three eighths you know you can read the scale pretty good on it so i'm happy with that that's decent compared to some of the ones i have seen lately the other thing it does have is like i said is the metric now metric is not that handy for everybody but like i do use a little bit of metric with especially the 3b d builds and stuff so metric is kind of a you know an extra thing that i do use quite a bit and it is nice to have a tape measure that can do both at the same time now the laser uh for accuracy i'm a little surprised so we're going to take another test and this time we're going to uh read i guess i'm going to bring the block to 24 inches and we'll read it again just because because i can uh and we'll get the reading there it is it's measuring it and what happened all right now i hit the button again oh there we go yep 24.0 inches again accurately dead on and so that is pretty cool the only i guess i can't find anything really negative going on here everything seems to be working well and it is an easy tape measure to read i guess that's why they sent it over to me they're they're pretty happy with their stuff and we'll shut this off again now you also have a unit button which is right here and on the unit button you can actually pick decide on whether you want to measure inches or feet with inches or metric like meters that kind of thing so you can switch back to the two scales also while using the laser on the machine it's uh it's said to be up to 60 meters on the laser and the oh five meter tape or just a little over 16 feet five meters five meters that's 500 millimeter whatever it's metric we're we're in the states don't do this so yeah interesting tape measure so the tape measure uh is pretty cool tape measure it it has some features that i have not seen before in the industry at the same time we've seen these lasers before but this one here every test i made with it it was accurate and it was like well wow okay you know it's accurate good the other thing i did just for last because i see a lot of this out here is i can get up to about six feet of uh i guess we'll call it fishing pole and then she seems to let's see there's six feet there still going and it collapses so it's if you're if you have that in mind so i've seen certain tape measures that they say will go out a certain distance before it you know drops this uh non-slip uh rubber tip on it is different but i like it it doesn't have that prickly little you know thing back here so it actually will probably be a good thing because it won't mess up any work if you're pulling it and you know measuring on something that's about as much as we can say about this tape measure we really need to get into something else today that we're going to do but we're going to come back right back to this right okay here's what we're gonna do there's a draw for a chamfer planer this week this is thursday it's dry it's tool day where we draw for a winter i cut all these up this morning and we had a it doesn't look like it there's several hundred in there and everybody's name was greg for some no i'm just kidding about the great thing actually i don't think we had one greg in there this time around that i noticed anyways when we were printing off the tickets so we need to draw and see who's got the planer oh let's see okay the planer this is what we're setting up hopefully mike uh if i have time i might be able to get this thing off actually even today because uh as you can imagine we're going into something else this is the beautiful chamfer planer which i have to thank banggoods again for sending this over to us to check this out love it it's a it's a really nice tool again it's one of those ones i'd like to keep but you know my policy is everything we show on youtube we give away we just you know and there's been a lot of questions about the laser which is uh probably one of the more expensive machines that we've had in here and i've got another one behind me here in a box right there yeah and that's about a 500 machine but we'll be doing reviews and taking a look at it and hopefully we'll be giving it away too but right now we're doing the planer chamfer planer nice item and comes in this neat box with a little screwdriver kit and some instructions and stuff about using it and so let's get to the tickets uh we need a bucket and i guess we're getting the uh the good old lowe's bucket here we go all right and we're gonna do it we're gonna do it right that's what they always do all right let's take off these are all the names of the entries boom and everybody's name should have been gregg this time we had three greg's in our i think in a row with something else out of here that was like how can that possibly happen i'm stirring up all the tickets so that you know like i said i like to get a fair possible chance anybody to get something uh from the show here so we can ship it out to them and so this is wow that's a nice that's a nice looks like spaghetti now so good we'll mix it up real good we're going to draw for this and then we're going to start the draw for the next item so yeah cool huh all righty let's get this mixed up real good and let's pull out a ticket and jeff uh i won't give your last name out but you're in south hadley massachusetts so wow congratulations jeff if i look at that address you don't need this tool so what are you doing [Laughter] wow so congratulations jeff that is awesome this is going out i'll put your address here on the box with you because we're going to try to get this out to you as early as today if we don't get it today we will definitely get it friday we'll have it tomorrow in the mail to you and congratulations jeff i didn't even i'm surprised it wasn't greg i'm really disappointed three greg's [Applause] somebody actually a couple of people actually wrote in and put greg and then put their regular name in her tools and i can't blame them i am still a little surprised myself over that now the rest of these will be burned the email box has already been completely deleted deleted deleted and fact it's been so deleted that i even went into the history of the mailbox make sure that there's nothing in there deleted hopefully not even the nsa can find your name or your address in there now so we'll get rid of it all and destroy all these tickets and let's start a new one yeah it's thursday and we just finished the review on this tool which was really really nice of these uh folks here at uh uptech instruments give me and i will provide a link in the description below to where uptech instruments is actually located and they're in california i believe yeah santa clara california cool and we're going to draw for a tape now how do we do this okay same as same as we always do we're going to do i'll put it over my head here uh it's coffee and tool rewards at gmx.com and in the subject line of your email put tape t-a-p-e tape and then just as you're doing a postal return envelope something like that just put your name and your address in the email body of the letter that's it open to lower 48 and canada by the way we had a record number this uh this week of people from canada in the entries i noticed with a lot of canadian addresses there was one fellow that didn't have his uh didn't say what province he was in but you know i guess he was in a hurry but uh lower 48 in canada one house one uh entry per household i want to thank everybody that has put their names in for some of these things in the past please put you put your name in again don't worry about it that includes you sid and keith and everybody else out there chris you too you know get your name in for it um i don't even know what the value on this one is but it's a really cool tape measure and it has some like say it's it's uh has some very unusual features including the scale on both sides of the tape a lot of contractors would probably say you know i could have used that i don't know how many times i got into something and nana if i had the scale on the back side it would have been perfect so and the laser seems to be very accurate so anyways uh yeah definitely put your name in for it guys because uh and girls because that's uh that's gonna be a neat tape measure and next thursday we'll do the draw for the tape measure that we just uh reviewed today actually this has actually been going on for this review we had a lot of technical issues uh more related to other things but it actually turned into a three-day record to try to get this video pulled together not not normal no not normal and uh monday we're going to be hacking i hope i believe monday we're going to show you the tv cabinet that was five dollars that i've turned into a large television cabinet for entertainment and we'll be looking at the finish on that project uh we just put some paint on it and did some varnish work and stuff on it the other day so but i'm thinking that project has come to uh hopefully it's come to a close or it's finished you know it's great meantime congratulations jeff uh in south south hadley massachusetts can't say i've ever been there i i have done a lot of travel with my time so have been to a lot of places uh yeah pretty much all 48 plus canada and some mexico and some other places but anyways that's that's great for jeff uh i hope you can use it and enjoy it uh thank you for entering jeff you know and thank you everyone for entering the contest again this week to you know steven get this chapter uh planer we've got some more stuff coming in of course always some brand new stuff coming in from different innovators got an interesting toolkit i believe from what i'm here that's going to be in here pretty soon that's going to be an innovative toolkit and you might not think you need it but you know what i'm going to tell you why you do need it yeah and uh oh next week you also have uh something else that we have here now but we're gonna talk about again something that just about everybody we should all have one for a lot of reasons these days but meantime we're doing this the tape from uptech and uh just so you all know what happened here we've got two of these now the reason they shipped two was so that we could give one away and keep the other one here for the time being so that's what we're going to fulfill with our agreement with the company at this time is that i will have a brand new one sent out to you you will not get this one i've already opened the box and put the batteries in it so you know i'm playing with it right now but uh the one that you will receive will be a brand new one from uptech unopened box cool and as always um thank you for watching coffee and tools and please like share subscribe and uh hopefully monday man we'll see you guys monday and it'll be crazy oh yeah [Music] you | Coffee and Tools | UC0-wGG4qZI6D2M7qwkyjGnA | 2022-03-31 | Creative Commons Attribution license (reuse allowed) | en | metadata | en | 3,062 | 15,144 |

_OdUbP361P8 | https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_OdUbP361P8 | GPU Memory, and Clogged Pipes (Part 3 - PS2 and Dreamcast/PowerVR) - #GPUJune2 | this is the third and final part to a longer video on the memory architectures of the 1990s era 3d gpus you should watch the previous two videos if you have not already done so as they cover background knowledge that's relevant to understanding the examples in this video the first part began motivating how the change in graphical performance was driven by increasing memory bandwidth it also presented an idealized model of a graphics pipeline and applied it to the architecture of the playstation 1 and the nintendo 64. and the second part expanded upon a few of the different pipeline blocks as well as covered both the 3dfx voodoo1 and voodoo 5 gpus this video will continue going over pipeline examples covering the gpus in the playstation 2 and dreamcast as a reminder the specific architecture details presented are speculation based on information available before continuing you should try to recall some of the background knowledge from the previous videos mainly the rendering pipeline how the rasterizer is broken down into multiple sub blocks howdy ram works with rows in a row buffer and the difference between direct and indexed color furthermore you should recall how when using depth buffering for a single pipeline both a color buffer and a depth buffer are needed which results in the effective bandwidth of 2 pixel reads and 2 pixel writes per cycle being color and depth with that said let's start off with the playstation 2 since it still resembles the previous gpus being that it renders triangles as the commands are sent to it this is called immediate mode rendering one of the major upgrades for the playstation 2 was that unlike any other gpu at the time it sported a full 16 render pipelines this means that it could render up to 16 pixels per cycle which given the clock speed of 148 megahertz would result in a fill rate of 2.3 gigapixels per cycle compared to the 664 megapixel per cycle peak of the voodoo 5 5500 that's over three and a half times higher and similar to the voodoo 5 gpu all 16 pixels were rendered in lockstep in two rows of 8 pixels this does mean that in the case of triangle edges it's possible that not every pipeline will output a color resulting in the parallel pipelines being underutilized this was and still is a common problem with parallel pixel rendering there was one exception to this though which was when rendering triangles with textures in which case half of the pipelines could not be used this would cut the fill rate in half only allowing for two rows of four pixels to render simultaneously why was this the case well it comes down to the texture mapping unit texture mapping is done within the 16 pipeline blocks but every two pipelines effectively shared a single tmu there is conflicting information on sprite rendering however the official documentation suggests the tricks could be used when rendering sprites in this case each half tmu could produce a single sample per cycle but when the samples were unaligned or by linear filtering was needed then the two parts of the tmu had to work together to generate a single texture output likely it's implied that the pipeline utilization looked more like this but the pixel evaluations were continuous meaning that the inactive pipelines would not have left gaps in the rendering this is just to show how the pairing would have likely been done this does lead to another mystery though if the gpu here was capable of by linear texture sampling and each tmu half can only load one texel sample per cycle then where do the other two samples come from well it's implied from the documentation that the other samples come from the adjacent columns it's unclear if the middle two columns can choose a neighbor to read from or if the combination is one way with either option this has implications on the type of texture mapping that can be done implying that the pipelines will further reduce performance if the texels are not mapped in such a way that this type of sampling could work the end result being that only very zoomed in textures or textures that match the pixel size could be used leading to an extensive use of mipmapping to support the 16 possible texture samples a texture buffer was used this is somewhat similar to a texture cache though it is closer to the method used by the original voodoo gpu in which the dram row buffer served as the texture cache sony made a point to specify that this buffer behaved more similarly to a row buffer than a sram cache as such this texture buffer could only hold one dram page which led to some unique problems regarding larger textures and page breaks and to support the high number of index textures a temporary color palette buffer is needed for each pipeline this time there would be 16 of these each having a capacity of one kilobyte that would be enough for 256 colors in 32-bit index mode this is also what would have supported the high fill rate of sprites similar to the original playstation's gpu like with the texture buffer a frame store buffer is also used to support the high bandwidth read modify write operations of blending this was also mentioned to be similar to a dram row buffer only capable of holding a single page at a time that's a little different from the voodoo gpus which not only could have different pages in each dram bank but also contain frame stores which likely could have pointed to different pages by utilizing right-back tags again this led to unique performance characteristics regarding triangle alignment with the dram pages and finally there was an ultra high bandwidth linked to the vram from the internal buffers i found one source which claimed that it could move one kilobyte per cycle to or from the vram giving this interface a peak bandwidth of 151 gigabytes per second which is 3.2 times higher than the massive internal pipeline bandwidth the vram transfer rate would not have been sustainable though given that each new transaction would require a new row activation leading to a much more sensible effective bandwidth to explain how this was done we should turn to a die photo i wouldn't normally show one of these since they can be difficult to make sense of but i think this is necessary in this case to drive the point home this is an annotated die photo of the playstation 2 gpu from an article promoting the technology the key feature to notice here is that the dram is placed around the rendering portion of the gpu and on the same die this is in contrast to other gpus of the time which used an external dram for the video memory placing the video memory inside of the gpu allowed for extremely high interconnect bandwidth the disadvantages to doing this though were that it was more complicated to manufacture the die it led to lower clock speeds compared to pure logic dies and the vram capacity was limited at only four megabytes which had to be shared between the frame buffer and textures a similar approach was taken with the nintendo gamecube making the compromise to only store the frame buffer internally in addition to a large dram based texture cache the main texture memory was external allowing for larger textures than the playstation 2 could support without needing to constantly replace them with the cpu so this is what the memory system would look like not including the cpu's access port there are two sets of buffers one for the color in depth and one for the textures both being eight kilobytes in size they are joined to the four megabyte v ram through a link that can transfer one kilobyte per cycle the blend stage of the 16 pixel pipelines is connected directly to the frame store allowing for up to 128 bytes to be read and written each cycle and the 16 texture samples are connected to the texture buffer which can read up to 64 bytes per cycle we know that the frame store access requires that the pixels be accessed in blocks with a set alignment but it's unclear if the same thing is true for the texture buffer i would imagine that it would be impractical to allow for 16 simultaneous addresses so the textures likely had the same limitation as long as no more than one texel could fit within a single pixel then this type of alignment would be possible so given this extra bandwidth what could you do with the playstation 2 that you couldn't do with other gpus well the ps2 could do all of the normal triangle rendering that other gpus at the time could do including 32-bit color rendering and tri-linear filtering the tri-linear texturing was done in two cycles like with the n64 where one pixel was produced for each pipeline once every two cycles but the bandwidth and memory structure allowed for render to texture to be done easily and provided the ability to do post-processing effects this was done through the use of intermediate frame buffer computation similar to how modern gpus perform deferred shading in this case geometry would be rendered and then the entire frame would be re-rendered with different settings this allowed ps2 games to perform normal mapping with specular highlights glare and bloom effects blurring and depth of field and light scattering effects which included basic subsurface scattering the light scattering allowed for atmospheric effects and global illumination which would be a very low resolution version of screen space ray tracing and subsurface scattering is what makes translucent materials like skin and wax appear correctly these effects wouldn't be feasible to implement on other gpus until the introduction of pixel shaders making the ps2 ahead of its time with the memory structure and bandwidth discussed we can look at a more detailed diagram while the playstation 2's gpu looks similar to the original playstation there are a few notable changes the first thing to note is that this diagram shows a slice of two joint pipelines as previously mentioned here the pipeline on the top of the diagram is a bit simpler than the one on the bottom since it's only active when rendering non-textured objects or sprites this two pipeline slice is then duplicated eight times for a total of 16 render pipelines the parameter iterators are also broken up across the two pipelines within the slice where each contains a color fog and depth iterator but they both only share a single texture coordinate and inverse depth iterator furthermore it's possible that the iterators for the simpler pipeline and the texture iterators were one in the same this is because there were no cases in which both would be active at the same time similarly this was a possible configuration on the original playstation using the same hardware for different exclusive tasks will save transistors and therefore make the chip smaller and cheaper since only one of the two pipelines could do texture mapping the pair only required a single tmu this tmu was capable of bilinear and tri-linear mapping but could only access two samples per cycle to handle the case of bilinear mapping two samples could be read from this slice but the other two samples would have to come from the neighboring slices these samples would likely come from the other tmus and not directly from the texture buffer to allow for by linear sampling of index textures likely the tmu would only choose one of the two neighbors to sample from either fixed to one sampling direction or chosen based on whichever has the desired sample position how this was done and how it would be handled in the case of mipmapping is unknown potentially leading to certain graphical restrictions for a given texel patch these texels would be read from an 8 kilobyte texture buffer which is shared across all atmus the granularity of the texture buffer accesses is also unknown or it may have 16 simultaneous read ports or the texels may have certain alignment restrictions due to the complexity of 16 read ports though it's more likely that the texels were accessed in smaller chunks of say 2x4 pixels and those chunks were distributed to the pipelines as specified by the texture coordinates if in that case the coordinates did not allow for such distribution then the drawing rate would likely be reduced to emulate multiple read ports in time otherwise the result would be minor graphical glitches and similar to the original playstation each tmu would have two copies of a color palette buffer in order to access two sprite pixels using index color or to generate the two sample by linear interpolation in the same mode since the playstation 2 used 32-bit colors internally these palette buffers are each one kilobyte in size which is large enough for 256 colors like with the texture buffer there's an 8 kilobyte frame store buffer this was also shared across all 16 pipelines but only allowed contiguous and align accesses this buffer would store both depth and color information and had its own restrictions when it came to the access pattern two of the most noticeable cases were an overdraw penalty of seven cycles and a significantly higher penalty for page breaks the overdraw penalty was to maintain memory consistency and it was further implied that the frame store could not be written at the pixel granularity unlike with the other gpus that have previously been covered in the case where a single pixel was written the read data would be masked with the previous pixel values in the blend stage page breaks on the other hand would require reloading the entire 8 kilobyte frame store hence why they would be so costly and tying it all together was a memory arbiter which allowed for both the texture buffer and frame store to access the unified for megabytes of video memory the tight coupling of the memory system here is what allowed the playstation 2 to perform very efficient render to texture and therefore post-processing operations which are unrivaled by the other gpus of the time so let's look at a few drawing examples the first is rectangular regions or sprites these can either be a solid color or be covered with a sprite texture however they must be axis aligned since garage shading isn't possible in this mode only the texture coordinate iterators are active which perform contiguous access to the texture buffer in this mode a full 16 pixels per cycle can be generated and is the method used for clearing the screen between frames to do this each sprite can be given a constant depth value which can be optionally written back to the depth buffer solid and shaded triangles and lines would look similar with the exception of the tmu being used this drawing case would also be able to draw at a rate of 16 pixels per cycle texture triangles on the other hand would require both the texture and color iterators and would reduce the throughput to eight pixels per cycle this is an example of what point sampling would look like and by linear sampling would also make use of the neighboring texture samples for a total of four and finally try linear sampling with index textures would look like this notice how the texture sample data is sent back through the tmu for a second cycle this drawing mode reduces the pixel rate down to effectively 4 pixels per cycle although it's generated as 8 pixels every 2 cycles and so to summarize sprites and non-textured triangles can be drawn at a rate of 16 pixels per cycle texture triangles can be drawn at a rate of 8 pixels per cycle and trilinear textured triangles can be drawn at a rate of 4 pixels per cycle the memory fill rate provided by the video memory is supposedly sufficient for 256 pixels per cycle based on the peak frame store refill bandwidth granted the frame store is only capable of handling 64 pixels per cycle which is enough to do 32-bit color and depth for all 16 pipelines note that these fill rates are for 32-bit rendering mode where the memory fill rate increases for 16-bit rendering although the extra bandwidth is not usable the main reason to use 16-bit rendering is the reduction in frame buffer size which can be important given the comparably small video memory capacity and like with the previous gpus we can look at the memory bandwidth this gpu is an odd case where the dram bandwidth is much higher than the internal bandwidth though it's not representative due to the row activation latency since this value is not known a more accurate estimate can't be determined so instead we can look at the internal buffers which are what is typically used when quoting the memory bandwidth of the playstation 2 gpu with 47 gigabytes per second across two read and one right port similarly we can calculate the internal memory bandwidth which is increased only by the inclusion of the pallet buffers for a total of 56.4 gigabytes per second spread out over substantially more read ports although the read port count there is assuming that each texel can be accessed independently which is unlikely regardless this gpu represented the extreme of the simpler fixed function rendering pipelines which could only be further improved through more intelligent architectures that allowed for better hiding of the video memory access latencies and that leads us into the power vr gpus including the dreamcast which used to more intelligent although significantly more complex memory architecture you may recall that this is where we left off in regards to the graphics pipeline and how it accesses memory it was mentioned that one of the most bandwidth intensive tasks during rendering is the blend stage which consists of a read modify write operation for every pixel being rendered if the gpu can't generate these at a rate of one per cycle then it will have to stop drawing until the memory can keep up that motivated the reason for adding a frame store which contains a small amount of the frame buffer to accelerate drawing however it was also motivated that ensuring hits to the frame store is not practical in general the solution to this problem as previously described was binning this is where the triangle stream would be divided into smaller regions of the screen or bins and then each bin would be rendered together the power vr gpu architecture heavily relied on this idea to the point where chunks of the color and depth buffer were stored on ship and only copied to vram once that bin was completed this is called tile rendering and meant that the frame store could be replaced with a tile cache then the tile cache would only have to be written to vram once the tile had finished rendering the early power vr gpus didn't have a way to copy the color buffer back into the tile cache though which further posed restrictions on how the rendering was done also since the tile buffer couldn't be reloaded and these gpus didn't implement pixel shaders the depth buffer never had to be copied off chip further reducing bandwidth so that helps alleviate the frame buffer bandwidth but we are still limited with the textures as we saw with the playstation 2 and the 3dfx gpus the only way to scale up the number of rendering pipelines is to either add more texture mapping units or to constrain the type of access as possible these cases either require the ability to simultaneously read from many addresses or to have a very wide read port respectively neither option scales all that well especially considering how sensitive the rendering pipeline is to access latency if you increase the amount of simultaneous texture data then you also increase the chance that the read must fall back to vram causing the render pipeline to wait for the response but if you think about it for opaque triangles only the color of one triangle will appear for each pixel so why do the work of rendering every triangle for every pixel if the color result will just be overwritten in the end if instead you only had to shade a single triangle per pixel then the bandwidth problem becomes even less critical by that logic taking a decently capable render pipeline and reducing the work would significantly increase the render performance without scaling the pipeline wider this technique is called hidden surface removal or hsr in which case only the final triangles to render are drawn note that this process still requires rasterization of the full triangle but if pixels are occluded then they don't need to be forwarded to the iterators or the shading and blending stages and since the iterators aren't used in this case the rasterizer setup also becomes much simpler only requiring the intermediate computations to be performed as needed instead of for every triangle unfortunately this method won't work for transparent triangles or textures with transparency which includes sprites so it becomes a trade-off between rendering many small triangles and rendering larger triangles with transparency so bending takes a stream of triangles and sorts them into bins in screen space then each bin is drawn one after the other these bins are composed of render tiles which typically would be mapped to pages in the video memory for the powervr gpus the tiles and bins are one in the same meaning that each bin contains one tile while the desktop power vr variants could change their tile size based on the render format the dreamcast restricted the tiles to be 32 by 32 pixels in size that's a common size for modern mobile gpus as well but some are capable of rendering up to 64 by 64 pixel tiles note that the power vr tiles use 32-bit color and only down convert the frame buffer to 16 bits per pixel when copying the color buffer out to the video memory this is likely another reason to not allow for the color buffer to be reloaded on the older power vr gpus but that leads to another problem if you can't reload the color buffer then you must render every triangle for that tile in one go that means that every triangle being drawn for the given frame needs to be known at the completion of binning this method of rendering is called deferred rendering which is in contrast to immediate mode rendering or imr typically deferred rendering only occurs for gpus that also use tiling so it's commonly referred to as tile based deferred rendering or tddr to understand the difference consider a graphics pipeline which consists of two main parts the first is the geometry section in which a triangle is transformed lighting calculations are done and it's added to a display list then the second part is the rendering section where each triangle is rasterized shaded and blended to the screen in immediate mode rendering these computations can be done just in time where rendering of a triangle begins right after the geometry information is sent to the gpu in deferred rendering however all of the geometry data is collected into a single display list and rendering does not begin until the next frame one advantage to this approach other than bandwidth reduction is that the graphics pipeline ends up being better utilized meaning that you can get higher performance with less if you assume that both the imr and tbdr examples above are equally matched in performance then the tbdr frame time will be lower meaning higher frame rates since it does not have the extra dead time required to start filling the pipeline for each frame the disadvantage however comes at the latency from input to output compared to imr the tbdr case will have an extra frame of delay which essentially appears as one frame of lag in some cases though it's possible to minimize this lag by rendering the tiles in such a way that they are matched with the display output in this case the rendering latency would be equivalent to the immediate mode rendering but at the cost of scene complexity or if the tile rendering could not keep up with the display output then screen tearing would occur the dreamcast was capable of operating in either of those output modes where developers could tailor the pipeline to the type of game that they were writing note that there are other complexities and disadvantages regarding tbdr especially considering that the display list must contain all state but that was also true for some of the immediate mode gpus which included nvidia's line next we should talk about overdraw which was the problem that hidden surface removal was intended to solve if you look at how games are drawn they will often send large amounts of geometry to the gpu to draw without much consideration for what will and won't be visible in the end since that's what the depth buffer is meant to resolve the end result though is that the gpu will do more work than is necessary in the most ideal case you only need to shade every pixel on the screen once which allows for very efficient scaling to larger resolutions in principle that's not always possible due to transparency effects however for solid geometry the depth value of the triangles can be used to determine which triangle is closest to the camera for a given pixel and only shade that one triangle effectively removing any hidden triangles from the shading process hence why the method is called hidden surface removal to demonstrate this in a more understandable way this is one of the examples given by power vr on the left is a screenshot from the mobile game shadowgun and the same screenshot on the right displaying overlapping geometry with and without hsr the pixels are color coded or white represents one triangle light red is two dark red is three etc without hsr the majority of the screen is covered with at least two layers of geometry and in some cases up to six layers with hsr most of the screen ends up being covered with only a single layer of geometry which is a rough estimate would be upwards of a six times improvement in performance in other words the effective pixel fill rate with hsr would be six times higher than without interestingly we can see that the only cases where more than one layer of geometry is drawn in this example is in the case of transparency effects several of these effects are from the game user interface and the others are from what appears to be an environmental effect in the background as well as some particle effects so why wouldn't hsr work with transparency well consider the case of two intersecting planes with transparency the left image shows what the blending should look like but with hsr you end up with the result on the right in this case only one plane is drawn for every pixel where we actually want both planes to be drawn during the overlap the result being that they each need to be drawn in their entirety although this leads to another problem which unlike all of the other gpus discussed the dreamcast gpu could actually solve in hardware in this case of intersecting transparent planes what's the correct drawing order if you draw with depth there's no combination of the two planes that produces the expected result this was a problem on the gpus that lacked a depth buffer as well but the depth buffer solved it for solid geometry there the solution was to break up one of the intersecting planes in two at the intersection and then draw them in back to front order but as you can probably imagine not only is it a lot of work to sort the geometry on the processor it's also a lot of work to do clipping at each intersection so most of the time on systems like the original playstation either this type of incorrect draw order was deemed to be an acceptable bug or it was avoided at all costs to solve this problem of transparency ordering the gpu and the dreamcast implemented a method called order independent transparency amd had a demo from their hd 5770 in 2009 which showed this idea off quite nicely and yes the implication here is that the dreamcast implemented support for this a full 10 years before any of the desktop gpu companies did the reason of course was that this is a very costly technique to implement but it ended up being rather trivial with the structure of the gpu within the dreamcast again this doesn't work with hidden surface removal so it would lead to heavy overdraw but could be useful in certain cases specifically the dreamcast could implement this effect for a depth of up to 60 layers for every pixel on the screen which was useful for special effects as well as for sprites so now with the motivation out of the way let's look at how the dreamcast gpu actually implemented this architecture as usual let's start with a high level block diagram the gpu still looks similar to the others at the higher level with a few additional parts the first thing to note is how the gpu is broken up into three main blocks these are the tile accelerator or ta the image synthesis processor or isp and the texturing and shading processor or tsp the tile accelerator was responsible for translating the display list into something easier for the rest of the gpu to process as well as performing the binning this step was performed in the software driver for the older desktop power vr gpus then the display list would be read by the image synthesis processor for each tile and would perform the hidden surface removal and transparency sorting finally the visible pixels would be forwarded to the texturing and shading processor which would do the actual pixel color evaluation and blending to help with the display list processing both the ta and isp contain list buffers that were backed up by the video memory these could effectively be thought of as fifos though and were not the main source of bandwidth consumption for rendering a dedicated tile buffer was placed within the tsb which was implemented as two four kilobyte buffers these could each hold a tile of 32 by 32 pixels in a 32-bit color format given that all blending was done with this buffer though the only external bandwidth consumed here was when dumping the tile buffer to the vram for display output or for render to texture the main source of memory bandwidth came from reading texel data during shading even though the tmu was backed up by a texture cache the reduction in frame buffer bandwidth was used as a motivation to reduce the capacity effectively the capacity of the texture cache was given to the tile buffer instead resulting in a meager one kilobyte texture cache the bandwidth requirement was further reduced though by limiting all texture formats to 16 bits rather than also supporting 32-bit textures and like usual the memory system was tied together with an arbiter that connected to a dedicated dual channel video memory the dual channel configuration allowed for the display list queue frame buffer right-back and texture refills to be performed in parallel if properly segmented given the complexity of this gpu it won't be possible to present a single detailed diagram but we can instead look at each of the different processor blocks in more detail we can begin with the tile accelerator which is responsible for parameter conversion and binning the display list written by the cpu into the video memory is read into an input fifo for processing by the tile accelerator based on what i think i could identify in the dye photo this fifo appears to be 512 bytes in size which would be enough for 128 words the fifo would then feed into a triangle assembler which was responsible for breaking up large triangle strips into smaller ones while the gpu and the dreamcast could support infinitely long triangle strips the underlying gpu core could only handle strips upwards of six triangles long so these longer strips would have to be split up into smaller chunks this is also where some other primitive types were transformed into simpler primitives the simplified primitives would then pass through a parameter converter which unified the displaylist format for the gpu core to later process additionally this is where the triangle binning would occur the tile accelerator was capable of bending up to 600 tiles which were 32 by 32 pixels in size these could alternatively be 16 by 16 pixels in size when performing screen space super sampling which was done by rendering the screen at twice the resolution for reference this would result in a maximum screen size of 800 by 768 or 640 by 240 in super sampling mode the binning step itself was rather simple where bins were assigned based on a bounding box overlap this does mean that some triangles may be assigned to a bin with no actual overlap this was likely considered to be an acceptable loss in performance by not going through the computational effort of a more intelligent binning approach the output of the ta then went into two right-back cues which appeared to each be 256 bytes in length although this right-back likely consisted of an address tag in addition to each word resulting in a storage capacity of 32 words the reason for two cues would be that the triangle parameters in the bin list were stored separately in the video memory for later use by the image processor speaking of which next we have the image synthesis processor which is responsible for determining the coverage of each triangle additionally this is where the on-chip depth buffer was stored mirroring the output cues on the tile accelerator the isp appeared to have two input cues this would have been divided into a two kilobyte object list queue which contains the list of objects for each tile bin and an 8 kilobyte parameter cache which contains the actual parameters that describe each triangle in the bin the reason for the separation is that a given triangle or triangle strip may be present in multiple bins so it makes more sense not to duplicate the data unnecessarily the object q and parameter cache were both used in the triangle setup unit which split up the smaller triangle strips into individual triangles and then sorted the vertices as needed for the raster setup the raster setup on the other hand is responsible for generating the coefficients necessary to perform the coverage testing and iterating the triangle depth this was a rather expensive process requiring 14 cycles and was likely not pipelined this works out though since iterating a triangle required 32 cycles performed by the coverage processing engine array the other power vr gpus only contained one or two of these elements although there was some conflicting information which suggested that they may have contained more but the dreamcast gpu definitely contained 32 of them this meant that 32 pixels would be evaluated in parallel requiring a total of 32 cycles per triangle for the entire tile effectively the decision was to brute force the coverage for performance which is the only way the power vr architecture would have been able to compete with other consoles like the playstation 2. this is how the dreamcast had an effective pixel fill rate of 3.2 gigapixels per second each coverage processing element contained a depth iterator and a micro depth buffer the depth iterator was responsible for calculating the triangle depth for that given pixel and since the processing elements traversed over 32 pixels each the micro depth buffer only needed to store the depth value for 32 pixels for 32-bit depth values with an 8-bit triangle tag that would be 160 bytes each which seems to be consistent with the die photos the actual tag size is unknown but it seems to be implied that the isb worked on groups of 15 objects which would require a minimum of 7 bits then throw on an extra for a valid bit and you are left with an extra byte once all of the triangles in the work group were processed then the visibility list for each set of 32 pixels could be encoded and sent to a visibility sorter the visibility sorter would then write back to a pixel queue for the tsp to process which appears to consist of several memory banks totally eight kilobytes the documentation refers to these last three blocks as the run length encoder and the span sorter aside from collecting the visibility information the visibility sorter would be responsible for grouping the spans for the same triangle together which would make iterating the visible pixels much easier in the tsp furthermore this is likely where the order independent transparency sorting was performed since this is a more complicated block i wanted to make it clear how the data would flow through it during normal operation it looks complicated but it's not too bad once you realize that this is just several stages in a long pipeline and finally we have the texturing and shading processor which was responsible for generating the pixel colors and blending them with an on-chip frame buffer the tsp is driven by the pixel coverage queue that comes from the image synthesis processor which provides both the triangle id and span to draw this information is sent to the iterator setup unit which will first check to see if the required parameters have been previously calculated by looking in a local cache this cache appeared to be 4 kilobytes in size and would consist of the interpolation gradients for the given triangles if the required parameters are not within the local cache then they would have to be recalculated this would involve fetching the triangle object parameters from the parameter cache in the isp which may require falling back through to the vram if however the required parameters are found within the local cache then the iterator setup will initialize the tsp iterators which will generate the texture coordinates and the iterated color for garage shading it's unknown whether or not the depth value is transferred for each pixel within the queue but it's likely that the depth would have to be recalculated for perspective correct texture coordinate generation the texture coordinates go into a tmu which is capable of for sample by linear interpolation of indexed color to facilitate this the one kilobyte texture cache is broken up into eight banks of 128 bytes where the two sets of four banks can be used for compressed textures additionally there is a dedicated for kilobyte pallet ram located on ship to facilitate indexed color textures interestingly this palette ram appears to be distributed across four one kilobyte banks or each bank likely contains four ports to do by linear sampling the tmu then interacts with the shading block for performing garage shading and the blend unit for drawing transparent triangles the blend unit is directly connected to two for kilobyte tile buffers which are large enough for 32 by 32 pixel tiles at 32 bits per pixel only one of the tile buffers is used as the primary frame buffer however the other can be used as an auxiliary buffer to merge overlapping transparent triangles this buffer can also be used for anti-aliasing without destroying the color data stored within the primary buffer once all rendering to the secondary buffer is completed it can then be merged back with the primary buffer to complete the drawing sequence lastly the primary tile buffer can output directly to a frame scaler which can perform the screen space super sampling or image of scaling to match the display output resolution in general the opaque triangle rendering path would look like this where the iterator parameters hit in the local cache and only the primary tile buffer is used and then semi-transparent triangles with indexed color would look like this where the result is written to the secondary tile buffer before being blended with the primary tile buffer i couldn't find any information about fast filling to clear the tile buffer however it's likely that the buffers both contain a valid bit per pixel which could be easily cleared upon starting a new tile these valid bits would then be checked during blending and select a clear color if the bits are marked invalid there's a small ram below the tile buffers on the die which was likely used for this purpose with that said we can calculate the fill rates just like with the other gpus when rendering opaque triangles the dreamcast gpu could draw 32 pixels per cycle due to the hidden surface removal this number drops down to one pixel per cycle with transparent triangles and sprites though since those require alpha blending although if the sprite does not contain any transparent pixels then it could still draw at a rate of 32 pixels per cycle note that in general due to the way binning is performed on the bounding box the only way to actually achieve a fill rate of 32 pixels per cycle is to draw an opaque sprite that is axis aligned a triangle on the other hand would necessarily draw at 16 pixels per cycle in the best case of a right triangle since only half of the bounding box will be covered regardless 16 pixels per cycle would still be higher than the desktop gpus at the time and while it's not really necessary in this case we can calculate the peak memory fill rate with the tile buffer which is 64 pixels per cycle for the depth buffer and 4 pixels per cycle with the color buffers needless to say peak memory fill rate is not an issue here since this architecture was specifically designed around that constraint note that the vram bandwidth could also support a 2 pixel per cycle fill rate which would be sufficient to keep up with the 1 pixel per cycle shading rate again like with the other gpus we can look specifically at the bandwidth numbers where the vram was capable of 800 megabytes per second across two read write ports since it was dual channel the internal memory bandwidth when drawing opaque triangles was effectively 30.6 gigabytes per second across 42 read and 34 right ports this was largely dominated by the micro depth buffers in the isp and when drawing transparent triangles the internal bandwidth would have been 560 megabytes per second across 11 read and three right ports this case effectively assumes that the isp is only capable of drawing one pixel per cycle since it's limited by the throughput of the tsp clearly the dreamcast was great at opaque geometry but performed poorly with transparent geometry unlike the playstation 2. however the larger video memory capacity coupled with the more advanced transparency effects made the dreamcast powerful in its own way meanwhile the powervr architecture is still present in many modern day mobile devices and is the basis for apple's custom gpu these more modern gpus perform much better than the dreamcast though not only running faster but with more parallelism in their tsps and the ability to process multiple tiles in parallel once the binning is complete this architecture becomes incredibly parallel where each tile can be rendered independently of the others here's a summary of all of the gpus covered in this series showing the different fill rates internal and external bandwidths and the number of memory ports it's a little hard to see the trends in this form though this is the same data in line chart form showing each of the gpus on the horizontal axis all of the quantities except for vram capacity are plotted on the left axis which has to be displayed in log scale the key metric to look for here is the opaque triangle fill rate given by the orange curve which follows a clear upward trend this effectively represents the increasing gpu rendering performance and right alongside it are the effective bandwidth and internal bandwidth rising at the same time the internal bandwidth is likely the main driving factor for the increased performance but the effective vram bandwidth needs to scale accordingly to keep the internal memories filled the playstation 2 and dreamcast are outliers in their effective bandwidths due to their unique memory topology but they don't disagree with the overall trend especially when comparing against the gpu clock speeds and the vram capacity although you could probably think about this as a chicken versus egg sort of problem which came first the ability to increase the bandwidth or the architecture that could take advantage of the bandwidth available like with many areas of computer architecture it was likely a combination of the two the perfect storm where both the memory technology advanced to the point of being usable in this way and architectures were designed in such a way that they could make full use of the newly available bandwidths this combination is what made gpu technology evolve so rapidly in such a short period of time and since i originally teased the statement of where the trend was going the newest generation of nvidia gpus as of this video are about 15 times faster than the playstation 2 but have over 400 times the internal memory bandwidth not including the shader register files or instruction memory although to be fair they also have several thousand times the memory capacity but that's not really necessary for performance as we had previously motivated especially since the newer last level cache is a whopping 96 megabytes which is more than large enough to fit an entire 4k frame buffer anyway hopefully you found this series of videos interesting and as always please let me know in the comments if you spot

6Xb2M1xLssg | https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6Xb2M1xLssg | ECG Localisation of Myocardial Infarction - Dr.T.S.Srinath | they are aiming for a button for giving me this opportunity [Music] so yes this is going to the nest empty understanding its applies most media what the companies are doing supplies the posterior wall of it in across description so why do you need to locate the country Turkey first thing the difference in my I just tell one example for each of these points a lot of management becomes very very important when it comes to identifying which tell it to easy one say for example if a patient has gotten into the wall mig-31 a woman's right around and this sentiment also most of the time may have a right ventricular involvement so if there's an RPM mind which in turn represents to grasp a quadrature in such a case we're not able to identify which are three tails and you start pushing a nitroglycerin for relief of pain work was more harm then giving not giving microcosm so such scenario identifying the compressor becomes very important difference a clinical presentation clinical presentation the first according to the option to said it's not the same inferior wall mi can present to your second heart block with a simple Rachel just drops down you do an ECG and you see practically are some STI deviations and that becomes very important identifying which heart we use in God so that you can decide next one plan treatment that's very very important based on these is you can decide what will be the telecommute mortality for this gentleman identify the country degree is very very important for a person who performs an intervention so that you can decide on which tool to utilize the moment you enter into the cath lab so you have proper plan in place so you decide which block which writing after you need what are the balloons which even require which one you will require what we did the temporary pacemaker how are these you can't decide before you enter like a class or identifying the country tactic the country company becomes very very important before you administered a therapy for just a toss you over dr. Andreea to be santa needs so there are 43 countries the right coronary artery which supplies most of team Infinia I'm hosting a wall cluster a Pentagon I am the leads which point works director and reality has picked up here bleep 3 and ADF the left system the left main divides into the left hand there is something I can use runs through day and the lesser complex missions behind are so lav supplies most of the XP their body and they interacted a second if you see the circle as it supplies posterior and the most robust at one prominently this one so the leaves which type the words the high quality of the Infinity we need to three and ATM and the negativity which is from V 1 to V 5 V 6 and such a flex generally does them actually never sleeps the mostly would require some hyper extension of these piece so this is the static picture of the karate Anatomy pretending to them ECG teams so before it is I don't I think the action which is a what is meant by a very rapid dominance everybody has single object which becomes dominant either the left or right what does at that white dominant system means the cannot directly that we superior media is a branch which supplies the inferior wall of the leopard in Clearwater the decorator so this determines the dominance in a particular person most of a 55% of us up right coronary artery which is a common attack and save the 8% have left town the remaining eight person have whole dominant system where the PDA arises from both these effects so a very common system implies that the PDA is supplied with the right coronary artery mostly ninety percent start with 55 percent of net profit system PDS apply to that circle cross action so whenever eventually this inferior in part is basically the wall the left ventricle which they are mentioning so gently right when totem is mentioned as separately particularly if you send in whatever it means into the wall segment so that is what is inside picture of the day and you just understand so the past electrical can divide the vertical motion mid promotion and the basic motion so you just cut it across you see this this Fanti yet and theosophy a box so this whole area is more supply better left anterior descending artery so hence lav supplies almost 60% of the my FIM and no one waits for the middle making actually they mantle and circumflex of course small area most electoral one I mean feed a portion supply to the right just for understanding which are key supplies which the area so the most important thing particularly when it comes to the content is also you should be aware so you can happen is any problem the conduction system where the ECT and brocade exactly which are trees in water so three important things we should remember one is a synovial own way to supply the second is stay you know so the party needs supply from the sinoatrial node times a you know what most of the time comes to the right market so that is the reason Teresa walking's of the red quadrat we you won't be fair one in mind they never that may be lost because another company I love introduced money and that's very very important and proteins that I lift me up a patient a because a patient in deciding on that treatment then left by garage smoke is a bright white in a deceptive lattice come from the lady so if at all there is any occlusion of the left a lady had left from - block which can be the only presentation new accent left bundle branch block is the important manifestation of a collisional that you've got notion of a baby so remaining all this goes to the festival and basically this little radiation mostly these are all sub my favorite current reactive tranches the important things to remember would be ending or a subtype from the right coronary artery and any left back crack's supply from the array these two things we have to remember in a station in mind of a state Eurasian acute coronary syndrome so the location of this artery becomes very very important only in patients who present with St elevation I explain why the leads be month to be too we all know that except that proximal negative views remember is this is a very very important slide and we three before points to advantage and we want to mix it's just predominantly an NGO sector we five uses comes we're than one on mr.eddy are dominant are super ornate oxygen one in here the better that the most portion so high that true that's what we got myself extended to three nvm you know it is inferior 90% by oxy and 10% in a dominant surfer class we have to remember to take all these extra pins into the den whenever you are suspecting a hostile act on your mic particularly circumflex environment where you can see the distinct deviation and explain coding subsequently series so we na missed a vision this is actually for a state vision in mind with no honesty in fish in your mind which is also one important aspect the recent row where it is difficult to propel eyes which are crease in one very exactly to support particularly weak statistic impression do not reflect this indicator yes it's very very difficult to pinpoint to which there is this pivot based on history depression in that instant equation these questions also do not forget any significant territorial variation except for two exceptions which these books approach you should remember where this and wrong and even does not which I will be explaining to well etc this this balanced approach and they will person wrong these are some variants of presentation of a cheaper solution of which is a baby which is affected both these the ECG findings will be body facing debates in nineteen eighties we want the before you see by basic it's a vision there is no significant loss in Iowa and there are no significant even inversions except if you're very closely observing we will see five basic teammates symptoms suggestive of new onset angina biomarkers may be positive particularly when you're dealing with such patients if there must be a high index of suspicion because identifying such patients is very very important because approximately is the one which this is easy if you see here there is not grass destination and compared to the baseline but see the TV's here this is actually by basic TV very classic and by basic to you in in paper that we hope you won't see all those expenses it changes which just mean and I take a valium why but this is the important point Steve proximally very evolution the winter syndrome this is also convenient of evolution after previously depression of 94 millimeters and recording leads positive symmetry debates and they were being are they have a person moving over there is my state tuition of these patients and minimalist a deviation in behavior which is a very soft sign so this is also very important tasks it also signifies postulating a question if we see this ECG see this this is a very high product group type of T waves and there is not much of mystic coding which you see in this industry state of mind and see the hobby there is no agreeableness professional away from v1 to v3 and there's some reciprocal changes here in the infinities so this is even doesn't no panties to ask away its weight it is actually a solution of the Navy but without any estate division so this entire vector provide the right margin factory 90% of the cases are saying it's the PDMS it becomes a dominant Factory 60% are states of consciousness you know and behaving or ignored it is 90% is fighting I see so it's very very important so the manifest has the Imperial infection where you have a system where a Division III and AVF ST segment elevation is highest neatly fredison there's one smaller circle hundreds of complex or a dominant curve from gravity based on this is to segment elevation if we we three this more than we need to mostly uses our coronary artery and you could sleep - what then Game three then it points towards the circumference which is dominant this is all some soft signs reciprocal a state depression you can appreciate will meet one in Asia as you see in this ECG see the wrong sister innovation three ATM receipt 3sd innovations more than two and you see this icicle changes and need one and ATM okay we're all cystic aggression so this is a classical case of this division via Wi-Fi but it is included at our PMI how's it right excited just these are the mandated so whenever you have any fear I might eat system of X like that three that's very important because most of the times we were combined and present present together so we three are before I got it is actually on the side also so which show is the segment incubation so it's a continuation writing editorials running fortune becomes very important in determining the treatment of a so this is not in fact have much shorter division that St elevation is not appreciated in particularly excited weights you need to look for it because that way to the receiver when compared to that creditor so they mean function fine then you can this very much so you won't have that much of a statement deviation that's very important so there will be many many we're listening innovation week we are before every fire which we have to look for particularly in association with an incredible my life is you see in the infinity X you see process the innovation but particularly for IVF I have ever seen that much of a stage which is not compact it is so this is a very clear-cut example that that right where turtle hazard in the muscle so the transfer of a button gives rise to a significant tasty victim to 3atm particularly the monsters and expenditure authority viciousness so I'm trying to use images of Mothman is nothing some kinds of classes which I didn't since morning show some pictures thing is posted in what in mine posted over that might occur Sadat is supplying the hosted at one that is the circumference or the coronary arteries of it so ST segment depression you see in v1 to meet miss D segment depression please not this you see ST segment depression in a one-day meeting at me content area but we weren't really sure haha makes this is very important table is positive debates with pistol deficient if we want to be significant of the posterior mind these are actually that is a proper changes if you take three 1789 we would see testing innovation with the TV version okay just inverter in ctmc then we will be so now [Music] and the inferior one water hurts your body so I didn't a proximally media fusion there's slight difference and maybe of disability inclusion there's a slight difference the maybe has affected massive in fact in the morning the basic facts and terms of media and I guess because all the branches are cut off diagonals at the branch their fingers cut off there is a coccidia torsion approximate the entire branches process innovation even before meet 188 which was an extensive anterior than mine reciprocal decision equation you generate notes the infinities to create a VM or every different physics also and right by the branches off in the presence of extenuation is a good sign for us which is almost a proximal or austerity to stop your program so we be in the presence of a situation in acting which is very very significant a quotient will be the first second line first diagonal usually special internet receptor which becomes immediately participating so this is an example of him and think about the money if you see the extinguishes loss and we want to almost visas for the whole store is the education which is very very significant proximal in a conclusion you see that reciprocal changes in three fantastic admission so this is the evolution illusion mr. professor I have convinced basic parts of 90 at one so generally the assistant division seen between two b613 ever be that would not be any estimation in v1 or ATM I'm nervous about the changes so relatively better prognosis he what I indicated when he's saying so this is another example of an advocate my ECG see this generation loss sustained division that we want to be for and significant ST depression in that inferior leads so to society this is probably a little early because we see there is not much of an estimation here and there is a couple change the scale so and limits we do not master the division B 1 B 2 B 3 B 4 B of the up to be for does that so probably just immediate solution Douglas University oh that place right now most of the people circumvent supplies the basal and make parts of course tobacco box so generally posting here and the lacquer box very different the caption on the 20 BC T so we need to take the extent that not complete set V 7 V V 6 V V 1789 so in inclusive specifications let's comment as we mentioned taken is so supply steady or in ten percent of quality experts so first you get your mind to post even amidst classical of a safe solution also got posterior or in from a certain faction we see to take this assemble goes in a most efficient of a pollution basket so about the same as AC segment elevation C in b7 to be 90 that means the reciprocal ST segment depression be more between three and targets and positive are based in the same ways we have described this already had shown in any CGC this we want you to be free so you see the system equation I am presumably a million uses to test the opposite of this the recess the innovation we are significant empty question okay and now what changes main theories so this is very very important this when you are graphic and we identified in the ECG this becomes very very important because left way enough questions generally patients don't make it to the hospital because they are very unstable hypotensive and gross Armenians are very common they have cardiac arrest out of the hospital then let's say is already and it's a solution will cause massive unfortunate very powerful process we can suspect occlusion if there are some physical changes this is a diffuse ST segment depression in most of the ECG leads which classically the sensation of angina hypotension and this is one important thing which we need to move into ST segment elevation area isolated ST segment elevation area is one very very important indicator of that main equation so if you see here see there's a segmented at rest of the basis that will seems to be okay except a little area where this is it - cross-language community and if you see the few sisty depression which is not confirming to any particular territory so this is very much if you suspect depression elevation and AVR is very important another example of a we are the state deviation with diffuses to depression in all the names so if you get such a picture presentation then believe me of their pinafores and mantis type of people to reveal required immediate attention probably an urgent intervention so if you have some VC [Applause] [Music] name I was a physician [Applause] they'll start easing even a doctor is now a department ecology was tiny acid used to say before you take the ECT you think what you expected easy is to say the owner takes elitist think what you expect the next latest [Applause] | Ima Kodambakkam | UCMFxcrQVJAORh1U2NaXQsnw | 2019-08-24 | Creative Commons Attribution license (reuse allowed) | en

GDeJ9OAAMFI | https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GDeJ9OAAMFI | Camp Cretaceous review. Was it Bad? | hello and welcome to cinema Clips I'm going to be doing a series reviewing well the series Camp Cretaceous I'm going to review each episode hopefully maybe all the seasons and I've got a massive list to make sure that this series hits every single goal that I set for it um just kidding I'm too lazy to write a list anyway let's get started [Music] delay reaction I get it all the time so the series starts off with an action-packed runaway scene for in first person perspective from a T-Rex and the eyes of the person that we're looking through Sunny gets eaten by T-Rex oh sorry just a video game which personally I do think it is a good way to start a Jurassic Park series then we get introduced to our main character Darius and his older brother brand and we find out that Darius has been trying hard to win this video game that apparently would let some winner tickets to Jurassic Park or his brother shares his concerns about him trying to beat a game that could be unbeatable although deep down I'm sure all of us certainly know it isn't and says he would like to see him out and about a bit more which honestly I like the fact that they used an older sibling also his older brother was quite understanding and generally concerned for his well-being although I do think he could have gotten off the computer in a better way I mean what if you broke something important anyway skipping forward a bit I think you can guess what happens brand mom so at that we arrive at Jurassic Park and gets a first look at the characters we're going to be following around for the rest of the series and everything seems normal we've got our usual over Jolly leader but then this happens ah so sorry I'm late now I don't really know how people like this would normally act in a situation like this but I mean like what an entrance we also get introduced to our rich guy that looks like someone straight out of a heist movie greetings my dudes Kenji is here so let the party come in talk about no shame anyway they start driving to well whoever they're driving to and that's when something happens to worry about but you should all definitely stay in your seats this guy means business anyway it turns out only Spirit also done so after a quick jump scare it's cool to puts in the cage and jump down they soon arrived at the camp which honestly I like the design a bit fits very well with the whole Jurassic Park theme after a quick zipline ride we cut to bedtime [Music] and everything's been going quite well so we kind of need something to kick the plot off by waiting mode I think I see it coming now for some unknown reason at the moment Darius attempts to sneak out of the compound until things just don't go as planned hey there Dino nerd what you doing what do you think I'm doing I'm advancing the plot bruh heading out cause thirsty [Music] hungry oh honestly I did find that kind of funny now it's suspicious about catching him trying to sneak out sketchy or whatever his name is tries to get Darius to Spill the Beans in probably the most inefficient way possible oh good I just want us to be friends and friends tell each other's stuff for instance what they're doing out of bed after curfew what idiot huh so that's what toxic masculinity looks like shuts up but honestly the real question is how do they not even see her she's almost in front of them anyway Darius ends up telling both them by his love for dinosaurs and that he had been once to come here all his life and he would like to see them Pronto and what do you know both of them end up joining him on his little Adventure that they would absolutely not regret later they all sneak out and almost get caught thanks to this guy they have the phone drops into the dangerous lizard pen thanks to this guy and then climbs down into the pen and certainly won't have to get saved later thanks to this guy now early on I mentioned that he looked like some stress of a heist movie but honestly I'm kind of glad he isn't as if being in a dinosaur pen at night wasn't dangerous enough he votes that he would like to take a picture of whatever's in there I'm sure you can guess what happens next their pen houses a much more dangerous dinosaur than they had thought and now this dude is stuck with it so I mean bruh maybe it was just me but it did kind of look like he was in a narrow walkway that was between the outside Wars and the actual cage now this is definitely the part where he finds out he is weighing above his head and even distracting these meat-eating menaces is not good to do any help and the only way they can help him is to open up the main gates and we don't really know what happens because that's where the episode ends so subscribe so that you know when I release a part 2 now I hadn't actually seen the full episode until now like one of my siblings has got this the whole season and I kind of really just dropped in and out while I was on but along with the really good graphics and the storyline I think it's a really strong start for a series like this I'm going to be reviewing episode 2 and with that and cut [Applause] [Music] [Applause] | Shattered | UCnwKHvTMdUiPhJRo6AmLxFQ |

wYMulw07wo8 | https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wYMulw07wo8 | Week 2 : Lecture 5C : Significance of a Diverse and Inclusive Workplace | [Music] so I hope you must have understood and you must have recognized the importance of having diversity at workplace now we will look at how to achieve more diversity and how to do the diversity management at workplace what do we mean by diversity management diversity management is defined as specific activities programs policies and any other formal process or efforts that is designed to promote the organizational culture change related to diversity the example of diversity management initiatives are flexible working Arrangements ah promoting work-life balance initiatives Education and Training Program to reach the cultural awareness equal opportunity policies for different groups of the society there are three predominant approaches towards diversity management first is strategic diversity management second is work-life balance related diversity management and third is social justice related diversity management strategic diversity management is about valuing diversity for competitiveness and it is about cultural awareness for Workforce integration and bonding we looked at the example of IBM that is an example of strategic diversity management work life balance related diversity management that is about giving flexi time encouraging diverse thinking to Foster Innovation and creativity so we looked at the example of godrej zomato these are the examples of work life balance related diversity management social justice related example that is about going beyond the legal compliance and obligation to include people from the disadvantages or minority groups from the society in the workplace again godrej Tata organizations are proactive in ensuring the social justice and in that way they are promoting the diversity in management let us look at what is the situation in India are Indian organizations homogeneous what is the perception of people from different groups about each other so there is a simple but very interesting study conducted and published in this Asia Pacific Management review by professor kundu the summary of the finding of his study is that male employee so they conducted this cross-sectional survey in large number of organizations more than thousand ah of the data they collected and what they found is that male employees rated female employees consistently less qualified less competent less productive than females themselves rated ah General category employees perceived that Minority and socially disadvantaged employees were less competent and less productive almost all employees believed that Minority socially disadvantaged and disabled employees were provided with comparatively less organizational support in terms of working facilities promotions and salary increases even females of the general category believed that they had less chance of receiving working facilities promotions and salary increases than males from the general category further each category of employees believed themselves to be more important than others females from all categories value diversity more highly than males females from General category and both males and females from Minority disabled and socially disadvantaged categories placed higher value on employers efforts to promote diversity compared with General category males so these findings suggest that General category male look at perceive their counterparts from the different categories as less competent and people from other categories including female from General categories perceive themselves as disadvantaged groups though this study is based on mere perception we cannot neglect this perception and these kind of incidences these the data like this suggest that Indian organizations have to proactively approach the diversity management and proactively work towards making the workplace more inclusive so the next question is how we can enhance the diversity management at workplace in Indian organizations first and foremost thing is leadership support and involvement if a committee is formed by the top management and if it is headed by the departmental heads or senior managers people are likely to look at the impact of the committee's work in more favorable light the cooperation of the organizations and other managers will be much higher to those committees which are headed by senior managers diversity management is can also be and has also to be promoted by various good HR processes HR processes in all HR functions like recruitment Performance Management training and development salary and wage compensation Etc there is a need to create a suitable working environment there is a need to have the in general the values shared values and beliefs about respecting that people coming from different socioeconomic and other backgrounds objectivity and effective communication is key to make Performance Management System fear and only a performance management system which is based on the judicious combination of objective and subjective parameter gives the sense and perception of fairness amongst people and fairness is the Hallmark the sense of fairness is the Hallmark of good diversity management desirable behavior and undesirable Behavior must be identified and explicitly communicated to the people in the organization we need to specify what is the desirable Behavior which promotes diversity which nurtures diversity we also need to identify what are the undesirable Behavior what is the undesirable language what is the undesirable gestures or the decision making process which do not favor which works against diversity management and both of these behaviors must be popularized in the organization feedback process must be robust in the organization there has to be a mechanism there has to be openness in the organization to receive feedback there has to be a psychological safety a psychological environment where people do not mind people are not fearful about raising their voice against certain practices which they do not consider fair or right in the organization last but not the least only concept based diversity management cannot go very long there has to be a data based data-driven process of diversity

Z-RGEBJtAUw | https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z-RGEBJtAUw | Passover Brisket smoke | we are getting ready to smoke our brisket for Passover and um got our komato cooker all set up we're going to get the fire going and then we will put the brisket on as soon as we get up to Temp so I got my komato cooker uh it's great I love it I've got it set up with some mesite heart lump charcoal and then some hardwood Cherry chunks and I put a couple of uh little fire starter cubes in there that I'll use going to just these are great these are just these little paraffin wax cubes they give off no flavor whatsoever but you can see they just light right up and they get the lump charcoal going with the Cado cooker you never want to have used any kind of lighter fluids because the ceramic will absorb the flavor of that and now we'll just wait for it to really light up and then we will get the cooker set up for the briskets what I've got here is some just plain mustard and I'm going to slather that on I'm using a brush because I've got a dry rub which I'm going to put on top and I want to keep my hands dry but you can use your hands it works just as well simple rub today on this this brisket kind of trying two different techniques uh one as I said has was rubbed and has been sitting I wrapped in plastic here I took a really simple rub basically salt pepper paprika garlic cayenne pepper and then we're just going to sprinkle that on real liberally it's all been mixed up you can make this yourself there's some great pre-made rubs you can buy as well you want to get it all over there of course we're going to do this exactly to the other other side as well so want to make sure it's nice and evenly distributed okay smooth that out I like to wear gloves for this cuz the uh the paprika will uh make your hands a nice orange color uh slide that bad boy over put some more mustard on might need more mustard this one de side I'm not going to score cuz it doesn't have the bat cap on it and then our cooker is still lighting coming up to coming up to Temp here we're going to check that in just a bit but it looks like it's coming along really nicely it's a beautiful day great day to let a couple of briskets sit on the smoker and we have enough mustard and um going to have ourselves uh oh there we go smell those spices that garlic cayenne pepper in there for a little bit of heat obviously you know if you like it your crowd likes it a little spicier you can add more or less depending on it and you know rubs are something you can have fun with on your own make different combinations what I like to do is I make one and then I just make a note of uh how much I'm just pressing it in just to make sure that rub is sticking on there and um get the sides back here and uh anyway I saying with the rub you know I make some notes so that next time I know uh if I like that particular flavoring on the meat um I'll know what I did so it's good to have a little notepad and uh you know and then if you don't like something obviously same thing you you don't have to try that combination too much garlic little all kinds of stuff so we're just don't want to waste any of that good rub good stuff and then we're going to go check our meat and check our fire rather and see if this is ready to go and what I say nice about using the gloves is once you're done with the with the rub take those bad boys off nice clean hands for haling meat oh I see some smoke okay we're back at the kamado and we've got our temperature coming in right at 225 so we're going to get ready our fire we got some nice smoke coming out of the grill so we're going to get ready to put that meat on the grill there we've got our briskets on the grill we got one on the top and one on the bottom both are fat capat side up and we are going to close this back bad boy down and let him go so we will check in later here we are we're about 5 and 1/2 hours into this cook and um basically what we've been doing is uh keeping the temperature right at 225 uh we got the internal temp on the briskets at about 165 now U I've got two briskets going here I'm going to do them two different ways one I brought to 16 5 and then I wrapped it in some heavy duty aluminum foil I'll show you in just a sec the other one I'm going to not wrap and let the bark uh develop the difference is when you uh wrap it it it's going to be a uh not have that thick bark going to be a little bit moiser cuz you're keeping all the the collagen in we really want to get it up to uh an internal temp of about 180° to be perfectly done so do and and see what it looks like now of course there's the one in the foil see if I can zoom in and get you a better shot of loing a little bit of daylight uh so it's hard to see what that looks like I'll just get my knit on here lift it up and you can see oh that looks beautiful I'm just going to spray it up with a little of that solution oh that looks absolutely amazing going to go around back you get it and then over on this side as well close that bad boy right back up and okay our brisket got to 180° uh on the smoker uh so what we're going to do now is we're not going to eat it for a couple hours uh 180° is about the internal temperature you want that's where the fat starts breaking down uh inside the collagen we're going to wrap it up now in some foil and then I'm going to wrap that this is uh heavy duty aluminum foil which is what you want to use um really keep e their nice and then I'm going to take this going to wrap this in some uh towels TR some extra insulation and put it in a cooler and it'll keep cooking in here and it'll maintain that temperature for a couple of hours which is going to be perfect for when we carve it up and start to serve it so I just now wrap it up in a towel nice and well insulated I'm going put two towels on there and to put that in my cooler just like that and carve it up just before ready to eat here we are we got uh been sitting in the cooler looking really beautiful so tender look at that beautiful oh falls apart got a nice crust on it oh gorgeous see if you can see that smoke ring can see that nice pink smoke ring right around the edge oh really delicious | Matthew Jonas | UCSJianV16JAxxlxzrozTJMQ | 2013-03-24 | Creative Commons Attribution license (reuse allowed) | en | metadata | en | 1,277 | 6,115 |

IMaJvNYwpT8 | https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IMaJvNYwpT8 | Designated Verifier/Prover and Preprocessing NIZKs from Diffie-Hellman Assumptions | so I thank you for the introduction this is a joint work with Rio shota and Takashi are from I stand NTT so this is part three and it's only going to take about ten more minutes okay so this is our razón and what we have is that so as Jeff all told us the first one is the same for all three groups we got a designated verifier disks from the CDH assumption and the thing is that this the proof side is very well rather long so in our paper what we did is that we actually consider it like the short proof size setting and we kind of modify the setting from DV next to designate proven ni z k and pre-processing ni ZK and we got short proof size by changing the model a little bit and all these are obtained through diffie-hellman type assumptions and for the last one the third result the pre-processing ni z k we get this from the DDH assumption so the first one is already done so what we're going to be looking at is the following item to an item 3 ok so let me just tell you about the motivation a little bit more so when we consider ni z k's with proof sides which are independent of the circus size see computing this envy relation we actually only know them from rather strong assumptions such as IO fhe knowledge assumptions and so on so the question is if we don't really want to use these kind of assumptions then what do we get so without relying on these assumptions we actually don't have a lot of really compact proofs and well first of all the deviations that we were talking about so far it has to go through these FLS transforms so it has a very long proof size and the famous growth of Ostrovsky Sahai and IC k has actually proof size that is security parameters tying the circuit size and as far as we know the the shortest one without relying on the strongest option is the crs misc of growth in 2010 which is based on a factoring based assumption and this has proof size that is fully long poly log lambda times the circuit size so when you look at this all of these well ni CK's proofs when you don't rely on these stronger sumption z' we only get multiple Oh what we get is a multiplicative overhead in this circus sized scene so the question is can we make this additive and this is what we did in this work so we construct a designated prover and a pre-processing enigk based on well falsifiable pairing or pairing free group assumptions with proof signs that are additive in this circuit size so it's gonna be the circus sides plus poly lambda so this is gonna be the main thing that I'll be talking about so as a recap well it might not be a recap because nobody explained it so far but uh the DP and P P and is what is this so DP is sure for designated approver ni z case it's the quite opposite of D Venus so rather than the verifier having this secret key the prover is going to have the secret key and a pre-processing ni z came this is where it's a relaxation of GP and DV where both of them have secret keys in a pre-processing phase and after that they can do ni z case as much as they want and the reason why this DP NPP ni CK's are kind of interesting is because there was a very nice result by Kim Liu in 2018 crypto that showed that of from any context hiding homomorphic signatures or max you can convert them into a designate prover or a pre-processing ni z came so when it's a signature you get a DP disk when it's a Mac when you get a pre-processing at i zk so for the rest of this talk I'll only be talking about this context hiding homomorphic sensors or Macs and so when we get this from a different type of assumption then it means that we get a DP and P penis from that same assumption ok so what are these homomorphic signatures or Mac so let me explain this in a very informal way so in this scenario the signer is given a mess well the signer produces a lot of message and a signature pair so here it's w12 WK it constructs K messages and case signatures and the signer can just give this pairs of signatures and message fares along with this circus see and there's going to be this public evaluator which constructs and evaluated signature on this message C of W so more formally what it means is that the public evaluator is going to homomorphic lis modify these signatures and construct the Sigma C which is a signature on C W and we rely two types of security guarantees for these homomorphic signatures or max so unfortunately I won't get into detail but this is basically very similar to seizure schemes unfortunately and at a high level this provides you with soundness when you converted into ni z came and the other one is a little bit more special and unique to this setting its context hiding and what context hiding tells you is that for an evaluative signature CW and this Sigma C pair this does not leak any information of the original message W other than the fact that it computes two CW and as you can kind of see this is going to be very important for zero knowledge because W is going to be our witness and this circus C is somewhat related to this relay the circuit computing this NP relation so with zero knowledge with context hiding we get zero knowledge oh and I forgot to tell but uh when this CW and Sigma see the evaluate signature if it can be verified publicly then it's a homomorphic Center scheme otherwise it's a homomorphic Mak and finally on what Kim woo showed is that on if for all N c1 circuits this homomorphic Center or a Mac outputs a homomorphic well evaluate signature that is size poly lambda so which is independent of the circuit then by going through this chemical transformation while you get is a ni ZK with proof size which is a circus size plus poly lambda so in the end our goal is getting a homomorphic center or a Mac which has a proof size with which has a value singer size independent of this nc1 circuit size so if we get that then we get our goal and this brings us to our first result we got a new homomorphic Center scheme which as I said implies a DP ni z came and this is going to be a compact morphix changers for nc-1 circuits based on a new non-static diffie-hellman type assumption which is secured in the generate group model and the core idea is that we view the simulator used in certain key policy a b e schemes I mean the simulator used in these key policy a B security proofs as am impressed homomorphic signatures I will explain this in the next slide so after that we construct a new key policy a b e with constant size secret keys and this will lead us to this compact more fixed ranger scheme so a little bit more in detail a very high-level understanding of this is that so let's consider the proof of a selective secure security of an a b e steam so in this scenario what happens is that the adversary outputs this this X star this target attribute to the simulator and this a B simulator is supposed to simulate the real world Challenger right now so what it does what it does is that it generates this simulation trapdoor which is related to this target attribute X star and it also produces this public parameter and provides the public prime to the adversary and the adversary can query any circuit that does not satisfy this target attribute and he'll be able to get this secret key C because it's the secret key query so the simulator is going to use this simulation trapdoor T DX star to simulate this sk c and provides it back to the adversary and the thing is this is our main observation is that this simulation trapdoor TD X star we can kind of view this as a signature on this message X star and we can view this process of simulating this secret keys sk c as evaluating on this trapdoor the seemly trapdoor TDX star on this circus scene because the adversary can only query for a circuit which satis satisfy the CX star equals zero it kind of tells you that the secret key is an invalid signature for a circuit which satisfies CX R equals zero and through this kind of way of observing these security proofs we construct new homomorphic Center schemes and since these skc these seeker keys are the evaluators signature when the seeker keys are succinct when they're compact then it ends in a very compact homomorphic Center scheme and this is our second result so this we construct a new homomorphic Mac and as again this results in a pre-processing and IC came and I won't get into details but this we construct a compact homomorphic Mac for arithmetic circuits of fully bounded degree based on the DDH assumption very weak assumption and this includes nc1 circuits and the core idea is that we transform this information theoretically secure non context hiding homomorphic Mac by Catalonia and fiora into a context hiding homomorphic Mac using this special extractable fe for inner products so functional encryption schemes for inner products IP Fe so we can forget about this extractable part through this tactical technical overview but basically if we instantiate this IP Fe based on the DDH based construction of Agra labert and steal it from 2016 we get our context hiding homomorphic map from the DDH assumption and this again is a very high level overview of a result - so how did Catalano if you are gettin on context hiding homomorphic max this is a review so there the secret key was just a vector of ZP elements and to sign on a message WI what it does is that it just outputs a signature Sigma I which satisfies that kind of relation R I equals WI plus Sigma s and to evaluate on this this function f which is degree D what it does is that this if at least signature is just gonna be that vector c1 through CD where the c-130 D is actually a coefficient of the function that's well the polynomial that is evaluate on the right hand side and as you can kind of compare with the above line you can see that well without the knowledge of R and s the secret are NS you could still compute the CIS because this season C C J's are a function only of this w and Sigma which are public right now and to do this verify evaluation algorithm this verification algorithm the verifier just computes this fr and checks whether that polynomial that equation holds or not and the reason why this is not context hiding is because this ivalice signature which is this c1 through c d may leak information of the original message w because as I said the C 1 to C D are a function of this w and the Sigma e now so our main observation here like how to fix this into a context hiding Mac homomorphic Mac is that when you actually view this verification algorithm the verifier only needs to know that summation of this CJ to s J and it doesn't need to know these individuals c1 through C D so what we do is that we use a functional encryption scheme for inner products to kind of solve this problem so we're going to modify this evaluation of the signature so we're gonna output this evaluate signature as an encryption of this vector so you want to see D so we're not going to output this you want to see D in the clear we're gonna encrypt it using this IP Fe and to verify this what we're going to do is that we're going to provide as this secret key for this verifier we're going to provide him with this s2 SD vector and we're going to provide this key for this inner product functional encryption scheme so what we can do now is that the verifier can just run this decryption algorithm for this IP Fe and it will get back that that summation that I write in the red box on top and since the verifier never learns these individuals c12 CD we can argue through this IP fe that elites no information of these c12 CD and it becomes context hiding and here since we can use the DD h based I P Fe this just provides us with a home or if exchanger scheme based on the DD h assumption and that ends my session and now session like my part and any questions yeah any questions to the last speaker as well as to previous speakers alright I see you're eager for the reception now let's talk the speakers [Applause] | IACR |

DN6ptwZzhi8 | https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DN6ptwZzhi8 | Morning Sickness May Protect Mother and Child | since the beginning of time pregnant women have been known to suffer nausea and vomiting during pregnancy the term morning sickness is actually misleading since women can feel sick all day long and sometimes it can get so serious women have to be hospitalized researchers at harvard's brigham and women's hospital found that saturated fat seems to be a primary dietary risk factor for severe sickness five times the odds for each 15 grams intake of saturated fat like a quarter pound cheeseburger's worth the reason saturated fat intake may be such a strong risk factor could be through its effect on estrogen as saturated fat has been shown to increase circulating levels of estrogen why would we evolve to have such a negative reaction to saturated fat why would we evolve to get sick at all pregnancy sickness is a universal phenomenon with nausea and vomiting affecting 70 to 85 percent of all pregnant women if you include food aversions in the definition then the incidence is more like a hundred percent because pregnancy sickness is such a common phenomenon one must question why is this so is there a purpose for such a potentially devastating condition well in the past pregnancy sickness was dismissed as all in just in women's heads but recent studies have reconsidered pregnancy sickness as an embryo protective mechanism an evolutionary adaptation to protect the baby protect the baby from what maybe from meat meat is the principal source of pathogens for humans meat is also the most common type of food avoided by pregnant women so the development of an aversion to meat during pregnancy could be protective as meat may have toxins that are mutagenic carcinogenic and teratogenic meaning birth defect causing tainted meat may also be contaminated by pathogens and pregnancy is a time of relative immunosuppression you know normally we can fend off most meat pathogens however by design pregnant women are immunosuppressed to not reject the developing embryo since you know half the baby from the father's side is foreign so maybe morning sickness evolved as a way to get us to stay away from meat during this vulnerable time this would be consistent with a profound over representation of taboos against meat eating during pregnancy in sample societies around the world if this theory is true then we should be able to make five predictions if nausea and vomiting pregnancy is there to be protective then women who have it should have better pregnancy outcomes and indeed women who experience nausea and vomiting are significantly less likely to miscarry or suffer stillbirth prediction number two would be that the triggering foods contain things that could be particularly harmful to the baby and indeed of all food types animal protein including meat poultry eggs and seafood is the most dangerous meat is the source of a wide range of pathogens that pose a grave threat to pregnant women and their developing babies nausea and vomiting pregnancy should also coincide with when the embryo is most vulnerable that's between like you know weeks 5 and 15 when all the critical organ structures are being formed which is right when nausea and vomiting is peaking which is right when pregnant women find meats fish poultry and eggs most aversive and finally if this theory is true one would expect a lower frequency of morning sickness among plant-based populations and yes the few societies where you don't see such morning sickness problems are the ones that tend to have only plants as dietary staples rather than meat you | NutritionFacts.org | UCddn8dUxYdgJz3Qr5mjADtA | 2016-11-11 | Creative Commons Attribution license (reuse allowed) | en | metadata | en | 596 | 3,540 |
UfJuwI0n4yo | https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UfJuwI0n4yo | NordicWater Large | from Nordic water an Innovative Sledge removal system that delivers dramatic improvements to your plants performance and reliability introducing the Revolutionary sik bottom Sledge scraper the new standard for removing chemical and biological sludge in water and wastewater treatment plants the C scraper system is the solution to a number of common removal problems other more traditional systems actually agitate and dilute the sediment layer as they operate causing plants to handle much greater volumes of discharged sludge than necessary this reduces the overall efficiency of the entire process and raises costs it also creates disposal problems because of the additional volume the secer scraper system was designed to solve these problems by removing the more concentrated lower portions of sludge while causing virtually no disturbance to the rest of the sediment layer no other system on the market is as effective the key to this achievement is the use of a moving stainless steel Matrix having uniquely shaped hydrodynamically designed elements they actually concentrate the sludge as they move it towards the Sledge removal Zone while gliding quietly under the thickening blanket of sludge on their return stroke only the lowest and densest part of the sludge layer is removed this smaller volume of highly concentrated sludge means reduced disposal cost and greatly improved plant efficiency another Nordic water Innovation is a sec scraper unique drive system it was engineered to overcome Troublesome reliability problems that plague other systems Nordic water Engineers devis the mechanically simple system which easily outperforms the rest instead of using chains and sprockets the secet scraper uses a hydraulic piston to operate a lever system that moves the scraper grid back and forth there isn't a single link or Sprocket in the entire system to stretch jump wear out lubricate maintain or replace and there are no bearings counter pins or shear pins in fact there are only four moving Parts in the entire system a single secret scraper can be up to 13 M wide and 80 M long or up to a total area of 750 s m multiple units can be used in larger basins its low clearance makes it ideal for installation under plate or tube settlers its straightforward design allows it to be installed easily and quickly no extra concrete work is needed for overhung drives only two persons are required to install a unit and no lifting devices or other complicated equipment is needed first steel bars are are laid out along the direction of movement the wedge sections are then laid at right angles across the entire area of the tank cross bracing is also added for additional stability once the wedge sections and cross bracing have been welded to the bars highdensity polyethylene Glide strips are placed underneath and fastened to the tank bottom with nail screws the whole scraper unit is then centered before it is welded to its draw bar the hydraulic or electrical Drive Unit is connected and the system tested the secet scraper grid and lever system is constructed entirely of stainless steel for years of Dependable performance it is ideal for new construction or retrofits the secret scraper setting new standards in Sledge removal performance from Nordic water | zickertpolska | UCWElxFv4sOMmnxAc2RHDMYw | 2011-01-10 | Creative Commons Attribution license (reuse allowed) | en | metadata | en | 537 | 3,276 |
YC1EAwf0qBs | https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YC1EAwf0qBs | SAF 2012: Sack Lunch Camp Card Set | hey stamp affair summer campers this is Betsy Veldman back again for papertrey ink and right now I have a very quick and easy card set to share with you that you can make in just a few minutes and also a coordinating wrap we're going to be taking a brown paper lunch sack and creating a fun wrap using one of the edgers dies all right let's go to it alright so I'm starting off with a set of white cards here which I have pre cut the bottom edge with a edgers number three died and then I'm going to be taking a strip of pattern paper this is a five and a half by 2-inch strip of pattern paper and I'm going to be using the harvest buried I along with the harvest berry stamp set I'm going to die cut this strip I'm actually just going to cut a portion of this image from the strip about like this I'm going to position it so that it doesn't cut through the top edge of my strip I don't want it to separate into two pieces that will create a little bit more of a problem alright so i'm back i have die cut my strip and i'm going to toss away that actual die cut and we're going to be using the negative portion what's remaining from this strip so i'm going to go ahead and fold my card and then i'm going to put a little bit of a heat adhesive on the back side of this strip making sure I get all of those little edges adhered securely down alright so this is going to go right along the top edge of my card base all right now I'm going to take the coordinating stamp image from harvest berries and some pure papi ink just ink that up and I'm going to stamp this right on my card front positioning it so that those berries are those leaf images I'm sorry get nestled right inside of those die cut edges ok just like that see how that nestles right inside that die-cut just kind of a neat look very quick and easy way like i said to create a card now i'm going to take a sentiment and this is from think big favorites number sixteen i believe and i'm going to ink that up with some classic craft ink it's a with gratitude sim pump sentiment I know thank you cards are probably the most commonly most common cards I send anyway so this is going to be a thank you card set and I'm going to stamp that just right there overlapping with that leaf image and that's real that's all there is to creating the cards very simple and I'm going to make a set of these out of using some different colors of the pattern paper they're all a stinging I've got some summer sunrise enchanted evening pure poppy and simply chartreuse patterned papers and I'm going to do the same thing to create a whole set of these cards very quick and easy all right now for the coordinating wrap I'm going to take just a plain brown paper lunch sack and I'm going to be trimming off this bottom gusset the bottom the base of the of the lunch sack so I'm just going to be right back a second i'll use my paper trimmer and just slice that bottom piece right off and there we go that's what i just trimmed off with my paper trimmer then i'm going to take my edgers number three died again and I'm going to die cut the bottom and the top edges of this of this lunch sack alright so here I am back with my SAT lunch sack that I've die cut both edges and you can see I can open it up it's almost just like a tube here die cuts on both ends and now I'm going to step away and I'm going to stitch across the bottom of the of the lunch sack alright so here I am back I have stitched that bottom edge and now you can see it's almost like a flat paper bag instead alright so now I'm going to take a jumbo eyelet are some metal eyelets from we r memory keepers alright I'm going to take my crop-a-dile and I'm going to punch a hole in the bottom edge here right above my stitching in the center of the bag and then I'm going to go ahead and set that eyelet with my crocodile also there we go okay all right now we need to embellish the front of our of our bag here also so I'm going to take a piece of white card stock this is a 5 inch wide by 6 inch long piece of white card stock which I have die cut the bottom edge with my edgers number three died and i also have a strip of pattern paper which i die cut with the same method that we used for the strips on our cards and i'm going to go ahead and adhere that to the top edge of that white cardstock piece it's a 5 inch wide strip to match up with that 5 inch width of the white cardstock piece and then i'm going to take my harvest berries stamp image again with some pure poppy ink and I link that up and stamp that again just like we did on our cards nestling it in in that die-cut area this time around when i did my guy cutting i also got that smaller leaf image which is part of that of that single die both of those images are on the same die I cut a little bit of that one as well so i'm going to go ahead and stamp that image also and i'm going to add a few more of the leaf images to my card stock here i'm gonna add some summer sunrise kind of coming up off at the bottom here and then I'm going to add some blueberry sky and then I'm going to go ahead and take those little tiny three Barry image this is also from harvest fairies and I'm going to stamp some of those randomly around with some simply chartreuse ink then I also have the hand stamped for you stamp this is also again from harvest fairies and I'm going to stamp that with some blueberry skying alright and that finishes up the stamping on our front panel for our rap so i'll go ahead and i hear that to our our bag leaving that top edge of the bag so that I can go ahead and fold that over to create a flap and now we would put you put your cards right inside there and then you can fold that top flap over and then we can thread some twine through the eyelet that we set in the bottom of the bag and that can't act as a wrap it's kind of a tie to secure everything closed so go ahead and thread that through there a really long piece of twine here we'll wrap that around there a couple of times wrap it around the top and we can just go ahead and tie that in a bow which makes it very easy for the recipient to just untie the bow and take out cards and then you can retie it and there we have it a very quick and easy wrap or card set very inexpensive as well so here is a recap of our card set and coordinating wrap you could do this with all kinds of different dyes and images and like some quick and easy sets to give as gifts alright thanks for joining us I hope you're having a blast with all the stamp affair activities this has been Betsy Veldman for papertrey ink have a great day bye | PapertreyInk LLC | UCBpr-OA6fik4EocAgD-JHzA | 2012-07-21 | Creative Commons

IGg9xx2pj9c | https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IGg9xx2pj9c | The Fastest Way of Installing Paver Edging Spikes | [Music] so today we're going to do a little competition between me my daughter brooke me using a three-pound sledge brook using an sds max hammer drill coupled to our quickie hammer and what you see here is i've already got the spike started and it's in our hybrid edging so obviously very unique we got our spikes going in at the 60 degree opposing angles for the stitching technology so again she's going to be using the hammer drill i'll be using the uh three pound sledge let's see how this [Music] goes [Applause] [Music] so [Music] so what you're seeing here is our hybrid edging with the 10 inch spike and what i do love about this is we're having solid connection into the earth down 10 inches also for using this on a hybrid application with an open grade base with the v-shaped hybrid stake our hammer bit also fits that and will drive that stake in these are solid connections into the earth as opposed to say you're going to use a concrete that's only biting into your top half inch or three quarters inch at the most and that's all it has connection to is that top surface so a system like this again icpi approved has much more holding power for lateral shift [Music] [Applause] [Music] so [Music] [Applause] [Music] [Applause] so you can see pretty stiff competition i i was giving it all i got my arm is still throbbing um but obviously brooke beat me by a substantial amount and me giving it all i got and uh you can see obviously towards the end i was getting really fatigued i chipped the paver i think two pavers actually had two pavers i did chip a little bit and i did snick my thumb once again i guess the point i want to make is why are we working so hard in our industry there's tools and systems out there that can help us speed up production eliminate some of these injuries again workman's comp these are one of the big ones right here it's mash thumbs carpal tunnel and also tennis elbow and again you're getting that from repetition of doing these tasks that obviously are very grueling and after a while it it wears on you and it's a lot of strain on the body so again let's work hard to take that heart out of hardscaping don't forget to check us out on pavetool.com subscribe to our youtube channel or follow us on instagram or facebook | Pave Tool Innovators | UCj04cuddj3RoCUDXG5HEJZg | 2020-12-10 | Creative Commons Attribution license (reuse allowed) | en | metadata | en | 427 | 2,269 |
mU9eE-LqumI | https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mU9eE-LqumI | Start Up Procedures SD33T | now what's happening here is having started it all weekend I was up in Flagstaff so contends ooh if it's sitting for a while tends to not to start right away so I've got to kind of hold the glow plugs for a bit longer than usual there was self regulating so they're not gonna burn out I've also got to put my foot on the pedal to send more fuel into the chambers been pretty stubborn right now I just had it going I didn't have the camera going obviously I gotta wait so what happens with the diesel vehicle if you don't know is these are called glow plugs and they heat up the chambers and the diesel works by using compression to I guess you could say explode the fuel rather than spark plugs to Bernie you can see it almost you almost took there okay this is a take 3 I guess so I'm holding now the glow plugs warming up the chambers again it's about 75 to 80 degrees out so this is actually kind of unusual if I've been driving it regularly but like I said earlier I haven't been so it's going to be a little bit a bit harder so that's been about 27 seconds and try it again don't need that anymore alright I'm very close to story mode it's actually pretty annoying now before when I first bought this vehicle I had the original starter on it which is a direct drive starter and those were used in older vehicles and I'm not sure if they still use them today but they use a lot of battery power to turn the engine problem with that is once the starter starts to go bad it'll start spinning the engine slower and slower and slower and it tends to be a bit more severe in a direct-drive starter than additional gear reduction starter which is a newer kind of starter and those use gears called a gear reduction starter to start the engine and then a significant difference with that is because it uses gears it's able to spend the engine much faster and that's why that sound that that chucking sound that's actually the starter turning the engine so that's an upgrade uh it's not available in stores so to speak you gotta kind of hunt for it it's not the cheapest thing either cuz it's a diesel and it wasn't a this engine isn't the most common out there there we go alright what's happening now is I puts actually on the gas right now because I gotta let it warm up and typically I let it warm up at around 1000 rpm for a bit and I'm actually making a lot of smoke and this will continue for about a couple minutes once it stops smoking so much at that point I know I can drive if I were to put it in gear right now with probably shut off and my neighbors are actually kind of angry right now I could tell they just ran in the house but it would actually shut off because the engines too cold when they're killed us video on that continue later | Giovani | UCyvty8-EU1aRVQ1P0yLaC_Q | 2012-04-03 | Creative Commons Attribution license (reuse allowed) | en | metadata | en | 540 | 2,748 |

so would you like to lead us into the night's recap thir thing all right uh so Isam a little bit bloodied from the battle that just happened takes a Blake to whisper something to himself and he says uh queen of Knight keeper the spaces in between Mistress of Secrets I have a whisper I wish to reach Beyond the Veil to shadira zto if you were still alive I you would be 130 today I don't know what Mysteries death holds if those who've cared for each other me in the Eternal dark but if you don't know your daughter is dead she was taken in a raid that uh was worse than the one that you died in I don't know how much of our village is left how much has rebilt but when I left far too long ago there was nothing but ashes I don't know if it was the black order that took us or if it was someone else but doesn't even matter if it was the black order who bought us who profit from thei and finance all of this brutality I tried to keep her alive as long as possible in the Arena from the sidelines and I failed it was then that the living s bought me and most recently tasked me with keeping someone else alive this time one of them is the infamous scorge of the Seas The Feathered fiend himself who confirmed actually that the octopus story was true I don't know how he managed all of those tentacles but it's impressive I don't know our job from the living STS was to intercept a carriage The Feathered fiend Jean Paul drafted a false letter from the web Wells instructing our victims to hand over their cart to to us uh once they arrived the letter was Flawless but somehow it didn't work and uh and they decided to use the notice toilet paper which can't have been very comfortable and was a very unexpected Choice um during the P initial planning process a few days ago I had been exiled to the corner so I wasn't paying very careful ATT attention but apparently in the end it involved placing The Bard the witch and the Warlock on the very front lines while the Marshall classes were in the back and the guards in the very back doing nothing um the uh the Tinker named glitch made some magic armor for kis our sanctimonious Paladin and aranes I think you'd actually like aranes the most if you had lived to meet her um long story short the weakest of us were in the front when things went poorly uh Providence the asima I find particularly disturbing asked me to keep her mentally unstable friend feain alive um to my surprise when push came to shove it was actually feain who kept me alive I a great de she's in terrible condition at the moment and I've truly done nothing for her um this was no normal transport it had a harpy painted on a side of the the carts and there was a Deadly Assassin protecting it and as much as I hate to admit it without Providence that assassin would have killed us all it was the black order the guards executed everyone before we had the chance to question them I fear that might be a sign that the living sters are up to something they don't want us to know about and the driver turned out to be some sort of creature with the ability to teleport um no one told them that we were sent by the living sters as we'v been instructed to do um but they did see us and it appears that we are marked as their enemy however much danger that that might put us in I fear what their kago is but I want to find out right fast so while everyone else is looting the bodies Isam will go to the cart and look inside all right we looting bodies I think that's where we left off we were he was like hey you guys want Loot and you guys yes but's yeah all right so you want to look in the cart you want to try to open the cart go ahead and uh try to open the cart t or Isam all right Isam is going to walk up to the door very quickly and

black hair has a nice little tan a few scars uh just kind of bound and gagged sitting in the [Music] cart and the little girl she just turns and starts running down the tunnel uh dexterity saving throw I'd like to catch this child what did you get H hold on I get a vantage on these two 18 yeah you do catch her uh just just does a t does a tin hit you no so she as you catch her she tries to bite now she's trying to actively CL get out of your arms someone someone help her I don't want to hurt a child somebody somebody come here um I can I try to Grapple the child some about not grapple the child any than we already it's okay I'm probably smaller than this child you can hit uh try to Grapple yeah uh with Advantage because Providence is already holding her cool that's Athletics yeah mhm don't worry guys I'm I'm great at these well I mean I am when I roll in that 20 so that's a total of 18 yeah you you Province hasard bikee by the chest and you going to come up and grab the legs and yall just holding this poor child Kicking and Screaming let me go kill my P and she tries to bite Providence again can't roll higher than an eight I'm just going to reach up and start just like petting her face okay we're going to go over we're going to talk to some of my friends you're okay I know this is a big change but things have happened for a reason I don't know those reasons but things are happening as you go to pull away from the child something is oh no I'm carrying her I know as you go to try to pull away with the child something is holding her there b let go the form the form reveals white hair light blue skin she just she has a deck of cards in her hand she says let go of the CH I don't know who you are who sent you the living to say thank you for their birthday gift so did the child sorry did the child change into this creature no it's the one that uh John Pierre saw and she re appeared holding the child fine the child in her disappear as she pulled a card and you no longer feel the child in your hand that was disturbing I I stopped trying to pet the child's face what's going on people keep disappearing i what does that mean that people keep disappearing some somebody just appeared they were holding on to the child and then they wanted to know who sent us so I told them and then her and the child just disappeared just vanished I'm casting detect thoughts and walking up towards where they were yeah Jan actually kis actually did cast detch thoughts earlier I did cuz I was wanting to try and figure out what the little girl was thinking but oh how far away does that reach 30t was you in 30 feet I'm walking up towards them okay so and it lasts for 10 minutes so uh you thinking well you're casting theet thoughts on her do she have to make a save uh no I just sense if they're still around are you so are you trying to sense like when they're grappling them or if you're trying to sense well after she said some lady just appeared and they both disappeared I'm I'm asking I was asking did you cast it before that happened oh yeah I cast it way back before the girl ran off okay so you would have detected her thoughts and all you would have got was like uh memories of her being a child with their uh in the arms of the parents and stuff and which ones are her parents the the one that initially talking to y'all and the other one so Bas mostly ones with the blades okay the ones that started the fight yeah the the ones that had the blades the ones that started started the fight the ones that started the fight mhm sure yeah we end fights we don't start yeah but uh those were her parents um not the big brutes whatever it was the other ones and um yeah uh who did y'all want to loot the bodies I want to make sure that those two people aren't you do not detect them anymore okay um yeah I'm going to look if any of them have light armor that's better than leather I assume I'm coming around the side of the of the of the wagon at this point it's just like hey there guys hey guys there is this uh there's this lady oh hey you guys look like you saw her uh like Smurfette right yeah yeah exactly like that yeah all right all right I don't have to explain it then while they're doing that isam's gonna enter the carriage and close the door behind him okay also kis would pick up that there's somebody alive in that Carriage right yeah with the tech thought they actually determine um if there's somebody within like what it 30 feet 30 feet so does Kayla still sense the child no he said I didn't okay thank you but you since everybody else's thoughts you want to go through what everybody else's I don't want no I I've already told them all like their thoughts of their owns I only use this for navigational um but I would have detected the thoughts in the carriage right uh does it go through walls yes unless that Carriage is made out of a photo you're going to aggravate me with this spell ain't you this whole campaign 100% I told you I'm using it for navigation are you just trying to detect to server's thoughts no I just I want to know that kis pinged that there is somebody in there there's somebody in the car so but are you trying to read their mind no okay so I don't need to give you any extra information no okay uh let's see all right let me check one more person the last stat block that y'all fault let's see if they had anything more than leather armor ah so as you who's searching the bodies me and fame fame all right give me investigations check you can do separately or one of y'all can help each other I will help you I all right I'm at plus zero so we'll see how guys I'm a I may uh what is it negative oh okay yeah Dragon of death hello there I don't know why Advantage y 16 that's not bad H 16 uh you do find that the one that was initially shooting you with the um arrows uh that one does have stuttered leather armor the rest of them have regular leather armor okay the the studed Le armor is going to have to be repaired from all the Spears and slashes that person took kind of same like a few well all those guards came up and um well fine um they have any any any um poison left on them well if you give me a second oh was is going to describe oh sorry I got excited you find 10 poison arrows hey hey hey um ex parrot man if if I get two you can have the other eight if you don't tell

pieces 15 copper pieces and 15 silver pieces must 25 gold and then 15 copper and silver yep 15 copper and then 15 silver yeah okay um and then uh there's more in the carriage but you just search the bodies MH all right and Sam you're inside the cart by yourself with a he's going to put his uh finger over his lips like this mhm and then he's going to gently lower the gag and kind of drop down to his level uh let me give yall what art he looks like if unless you have the stream open to see I've got the stream up and I see it cheating yeah I meant I was I'm trying I'll put it in Zoom I gave it to Fain I'll just put in the Discord I'll just put in the disc does anybody else remember the TV show Zoom from we were kids on PBS with all the kids that like do science stuff I missed that [Music] show oh hey there you go cam sent me a thing yeah I sent it to you but I thought I was send it to the whole party I just dropped it in the the chat all [Music] right so you did the this and yeah and then I gently lower his uh uh gag who you why am I I'm hoping possibly we can help each other but would you mind asking uh answering a couple questions first do I have a choice of course you do well let's just say it depending on the questions I might do you know where they were taking you no do you know why they so cute I have assumptions and who are you you sweat me to all this information I don't know who the [ __ ] you are you don't but it's possible that I could be better than your previous captives well you already unad me so are they still alive most of them are dead the girl the young girl was she one of your CHS as well no it's just one of the daughters of them I don't know if this take your daughter to workday or something but it's a dangerous profession I'm sorry he is he's G he's tied up still I don't know if it's take your daughter to workday or something but dangerous profession to to visit I don't know I I don't have a I don't know what did the black order want with you well we've been actively fighting him for years my order their order so you're a prisoner and why would they be bringing you to the wood wellth oh that's where I don't know who they're taking me to but I I I only can imagine that that uh the person who I worked for I never met and how why would that make you are you an enemy of the wood Wells or a friend of the wood Wells I don't know who the wood Wells are I just know who the black order is I don't know who my order are we've been our orders have been fighting each other for years I thought I answered this I was just trying to piece some things together um yeah I can only imagine I the person who inated uh inrad whatever got close got me some Shape Shifter like a they have could they turn how is uh I've only met people like this they're called changelings but uh I can imagine they probably targeted me because they're trying to get to my boss your boss who's fighting a black order a boss that I never met oh he through letters so you're like an anarchist so [Music] what uh the decentralized network that's resisting a power [Music] no my ORD ordered to gobl have you never heard of us as you said never heard of them no no I I'm afraid I hav't well my order and the black order has been in arms you know when there's a good one there's a bad one or different views whoever SES you SE does anybody else ever open the door or he's just going to y'all just going to leave him I'm near at the door so I want to open the door like I got offended that he closed the door in my face like yank open the door oh you have friends what is going on in here having a little chat that's all M um I'm sorry what was your name my name [Music] is Sir Frederick strung The Honorable it's a pleasure to meet you sir but yes uh strong strong strong like strong what does it look like when Providence heals herself with Healing Hands um for her it looks very um very radiant as if there's like a a surge of energy that builds up underneath her hands where she touches the skin and so it'll like uh sorry cam uh It'll like she'll put her hands usually on the chest and she'll just like push the energy into a person so there'll be a little bit of push and glowing underneath and her eyes glow to herself what does it look like same all right uh isam's going to kind of clasp his hands together in a largely failed attempt to be discreet and identically the same things H are going to happen like his hands will glow with this like sort of like golden Celestial Radiance like even closed between each other his eyes will glow for a moment and then he's going to step out of the carts who are you people this man is tied up right yeah first off I want help yeah he's tied up he was G but he was no longer G all right just quick question did I see what eam just did I was inside the cart okay but I think Arness would have seen it yeah I saw him we're going to talk later right now we need to get this man on tied and see why they want him while they do that isam's going to walk over to like where that rock is he's going to make I contact with uh with Providence and he's going to call the guards over I forgot the cards were there and he's going to uh he's going to activate the Vigilant blessing the one with the gods of air that he does it gives him advantage on initiative you want an initiative what kind of initiative in combat you want to fight the guards he's moving like he's going to try to move at least he's going to call them over guards I have something I want to I want show you uh and he's going to try to call them over uh so that he's at least 20 ft away from the cart uh and maybe give me deception check all right [Music] uh 177 let me see uh three of them definitely did not inight you high enough but let me see what the other one did what is the Insight that is a wisdom right yeah uh yeah she was the modifier so okay all four of them going start walking over um if PR went over there I would be aware of that wouldn't necessarily follow or anything but I it's on my radar all right where is everybody at in this moment if we're about to have combat I am in I'm with Arwin in there and I attempting to untie this man I'd be somewhere near fan I suppose I would be by the Fallen oer trying to hide arrows AR is inside the cart yep the and we didn't take a rest guys I could use two more spell slots right now sucks suck sounds like a you problem is Spain close enough for me to heal her I'm I'm fine I'm I'm doing okay are you serious like legitimately yeah I'm above half okay she means three hit points all right where's everybody else at sh here you wed around we have Glitch where y'all at there I am glitch is going to be checking on the horses all right wondering why we're not leaving Shan Pierre uh somewhere next to feain I suppose I don't know sure yeah that works just a quick check can Providence see if anybody is feeling looking like they're looking a little under Health right now I'm about half oh shoot I forgot my Max Health went up I am just just below half but still fine okay um a would you like healing or I can give it to JP I think JP is really hurt I say as I hold my backpack behind me I'll be I'll be fine hey uh feathers you doing okay yeah yeah uh yeah sure sure cuz cuz I I think you need a little I don't know just a little pickme up just you know I I should stand you're good and then she casts a healing word which is just you're good um and you get um five hit points I can't do a lot I'm not actually a cleric I I'll take what I can get suppose I'm I'm still uh have my disguised self up I should I should mention oh why don't you look like one of their parents I you don't know how I was I was like oh my God I was so tempted to do that yes what could go wrong well feathers just as a kid now cool what's one more you know yeah how many kids do uh cam Cruz have I wonder all of them you guys L A yes uh that's how it is written usually not a lot but John has 10 so I don't know if I don't know if I've mentioned this before I feel like I I feel like I have I don't you ever told us you have 10 children but that's we get we could get to that later yeah we get that later this time round ah yeah oh right yeah the other yeah all right uh what are we doing as AAR start walking over is is like like if if Providence is following him he kind of shakes his head no a little bit to her uh and he wants to get maybe if you could put him like a little bit further south I guess like towards the bottom of the camera uh he wants to call all the guards around in a circle around him no no no no no uh down the other way so around uh that way straight away from the carriage away from the carriage yes he basically wants to be out of sight from the rest of the group no uh to the right there of the right uh so the towards between the guards and the boulder south of the where you at no no just a little lower and so he's going to try to get them all within five feet of him as emotions to show them something you uh I think province is suspecting something is going to happen so she's going to circle behind you're not going to be able to get all five of them is there four or five there's only four four of them you just said five I he said within five feet of them I'm just saying you're not going to be able to get them all within five feet scoot three down and push two up uh they won't go you can't they're going to walk up to you you're not going to have they're not going to just straight out listens tell you listen to where you want them to stand can he get both a bonus action and an action as a surprise round and do them simultaneously are you twin spelling it uh no I I'll let you have one of them both of them all right then he will it would have looked cooler uh it would look cooler but you're trying to cast two Spells at the same time which they're separate spells one is a SP one is a spell and the other one is his uh would have been his uh Celestial relevation but I can save that for another day he basically wants a bon he wants a bonus round for a surprise round and in his surprise round can he do a spell and a uh class feat or a race feature oh they're both actions one is a bonus action bonus action one is an action uh I'll let you choose one and then we'll have your roll initiative and then see let's see where you place that own initiative role okay okay cuz soon as you do something they're going to [Music] react for aesthetic purposes I just I can can I ask what uh how long has it been since we finished combat like like a couple minutes okay okay so then emboldening bond is still up well that combat lasted a while though oh H 10 minutes if it if it was like three rounds that's like two minutes 18 seconds yeah no it's less than half a minute yeah so if it's only been a couple of minutes EMB Bolding boss last I'm actually going to say it's probably been I'll say You have about 2 minutes left of it okay 20 rounds guys let's not take more than 20 rounds rounds God damn it let me restart again I keep want to start the combat without you guys rolling ini it yeah uh Providence is going to cycle around behind them and she's going to grab her sword back from feain it starts glowing immediately all right uh everybody roll Initiative for me please Jan can you please move me behind the guards okay 15 I'll take it on your turn e gross no Jan we haven't started yet I like I am doing this as um okay whatever roll an Insight check to see if you catch what he's doing and I'll allow it Jes I give guidance the these are his deception check go way higher than 11 all right glitch got uh let's see Arness you got 11 uh also I have emboldening Bond up so I'm using that on my initiative oh we can do that hold on so I am an 11 for initiative as well hold up hold up so uh JP you also have emboldening Bond oh sick I think I think I gave it to you and and F I definitely had it I don't no I don't think it was it wasn't me it wasam it was Isam yeah is was no I didn't have emboldening bombs was itus it was someone nope definitely wasn't me I know that for sure it might have been glitch oh it was glitch cuz he was standing right beside me yeah there you go yeah glitch you have un Boling Bond Sean you got a 15 anybody getting natural ones no I got a two also did you get that I rolled uh one on my D4 to add to my initiative no how did you get that froming Bond oh so you get 22 mhm I'm in 11 with my total nice 11 with your total yeah I got a seven and then a four on emboldening bond me go back in here again all all righty all right uh Isam which one you're doing uh I'll just do the action then uh he is going to take some of his grave dirt out and just like sprinkle the ground he would have done one hand to do like Celestial I want to to do like dark and light at the same time and had a cool visual for it but uh go ahead fine go ahead you'reall going to need it anyway so basically with one hand he looks up and he just kind of snarls the name Anala and in Celestial uh says something like Anala give me strength but he kind of sounds angry about it and For a Moment Like This Light kind of like this Celestial flame Rises up and it's 10t circle around him and his eyes start glowing and it just kind of like starts this like like like golden male storm of fire and then at the same time he with his other hand he drops some grave dirt and out of the ground starts crawling these like skeletal smoke creatures with giant Claws and like no legs that then start spinning around and you've got like this like spinning that's in 15 ft uh that would be Spirit Guardians and uh uh so you've got like this like mix of like Darkness and Light competing with like the Flames kind of bursting through in a moment with like these like uh like Shadow skeletal creatures like also like like SW like swimming in and out of the Flames let me get some better Combat music because I didn't think we're doing this tonight you should know that we just all cause trouble all the time I'm glad I didn't take this apart I was going to take it apart I also like how how Jr was Jr was saying that our characters are impetuous and impulsive yep and he's the one that's starting a new fight immediately after a fight like not trying to say hey something just disappeared and ran off over there let's make them chase it no come over here so I can hit you he Bane mentally unstable was he wrong yes cre dangerous that's accurate though what is the everyone with everyone within 10 ft will take three points of celest of uh radiant damage and then Spirit Guardians doesn't do any damage until the start of their turn so you do damage when you first cast it no I don't think so yeah I think it's the start of their turn really yeah is when the do and the start of the turn well you are a much nicer DM than I am CU it specifically says cuz is your turn on the first on the first time of a turn it the way it says is on the first time of a turn yeah it says when they enter the space and also they're in the space so when you cast it so that's consider that's CA that's considered them entering the space when you initially cast it um I mean then then then the rest of time but then the rest of time it's on their turns does that make sense I won't let you do it every turn this is just initial casting and then every time on their turns so it's what is it I'll take it yeah wisdom saes uh yeah wisdom 16 and no matter what they're save it's difficult ter rain for 15 ft around Isam so their movement is haved uh you that space 16 16 is a save yep well one of them definitely save with a natural 20 he's going to take half damage though all right only one of them saved I'll say it's the gold one that saved for Simplicity purposes [Music] so that is uh 15 points of necrotic damage and three points to everyone of the radiant damage from I already got the three points so I ain't worried about that one and one of them I can make take an extra three as like an asset Mark what's half of 15 seven yeah unless you're rounding up then it's eight I hate you so 15 got it for most of them it'll be 18 because of the three from the all right hello Garis can I get a shout out for Garis Fe you're to top of round okay I will they haven't done anything yet right like we just saw him start attacking [Music] MH um so I'm I will uh be confused um and I'm going Tove move over to just in front of the big wheel please okay okay these some have growled don't let them Escape or is it too late for that uh don't let them Escape yeah uh I'll let you use your bonus action if you want to do that now I mean I already have use it to I can just wait till my no I'm talking about your uh reaction I meant I say bonus I me reaction no I'll save it it's okay uh you want to go where B uh in front of the big wheel over here H anywhere over there yeah 30 that's 30t right there perfect excellent um and I will I'm for my bonus action I'm going to uh grab three ball bearings and cast um Magic Stone uh and then I'll hold eldrich blast I'm not going to throw any of the stones yet because I don't know why we're suddenly being aggressive but I'm going to be ready because I want in all right but the people that I've known longer probably don't approve of us just randomly fighting people so this is I'm I'm holding it specifically if the guards get aggressive I'm going to shoot one of them with my Eldridge blasts yeah that's the one I want I want the guitars B not this one this one's kind of lame I don't like this music all right cool all right uh you're holding your action to do what um if one of if the guards get if any of the guards get aggressive I'm going to well uh F he just cast spiritual Guardians there actively hitting the guards yeah okay this is all like within a couple seconds though okay it's not actually been five minutes so I've got three magically charged rocks in my hand um that I'm not doing anything with yet and then so well for this they're up so it's some I'm not going to have them roll wisdoms cuz they just did it for your thing so without being too much of a thing so if they're going to end their turn let's see uh as you do this huh is the damage hits at the start of their turn right I know but I was saying with all that extra stuff you did because they were pretty much besides F they were first on the card anyway ah fine whatever uh fail they all [ __ ] failed that's cool so you can roll your stupid spiritual Guardian damage that's 20 20 points yeah damn all right now they're going to surround you s this one's going to run out actually you bat yourself against The Rock they can't really get around you so they just going to back out of the thing does the one it's double his movement because it's uh I know that's all they're moving to get out sweet and but the one that went around the the other guard to get to him so uh they're going to pull out these swords and two uh they're going to pull out these two I'm sorry each you're going to pull out a great sword and make two attacks with it against you here all right the first attach I'll just see how many we hit can I blast the one close to me a 20 that hits uh a 17 17 misses I think wait no no no if it meets my arm class it hits so that hits to okay uh and then the other one was a natural 17 so they all the first round of blows hit uh that is six points of damage on the first attack going to have to make a bunch of con saves I know I have warter though so at least I get advantage on that yeah uh Nas ATT attack is also no wait that's nine points of damage on the second attack third attack is eight points of slashing damage and let's see if I'm still up to make a con save I do them their second attacks natural two is going to probably miss and a natural three but one definitely hits that is seven 10 more slashing damage do I get my elrich blasts in uh and who you targeting uh just say the one closest to me the one that stepped out of the ring uh sorry the one that is aggressive towards uh Isam but closest to me okay um so the first blast is a sorry 14 to to hit okay 14 to hit yeah 14 misses okay and the second blast is a 15 to hit oh wait hold on a 17 to hit 17 misses okay these guys have plate armor on I don't think I described it to you guys but these guys have plate armor on that's fine I got magic rocks in my hand kill them and give me that armor is that in character heavy no uh the other one is going to look at uh the one in gold plate as shouting out to you guys Stand Down or die here and it's going to use leadership to the one in Gold gets a D4 to saving throws and attacks for uh for one minute uh Johan yay uh h did you save from those Assam did you save from all those yeah just barely there's four of them you had to say did you do four saves I did yeah it's with Advantage because of warcaster if it hadn't been for warcaster I definitely would not have or cast really comes oh concentrating on that let me put that marker down darn it casting fear doesn't sound like a good idea here uh let's go with the level three sorry I was wondering if I got an opportunity attack on the one that left if she was she was not in range she was 10 feet away from you unless you have a 10t reach for some reason all right uh John what you doing uh no that count guys you guys start to make more enemies yeah enemies let's go I'm going to cast disant Whispers at level three on um guard number four uh and make a wisdom saving throw DC 15 it's caught natural 20 for a total of 22 ah dang it okay uh I got 19 on the damage so that's uh they will take half round it up it's 10 oh for dising to Whispers if for Whispers that's I guess 10 that 10 second Dage number four guard number four guard number four the one that's outside 10 as you do this Shan Pierre as you cast these iners and as she shrs it off you start seeing blood trickle out of the air as she is now bloody cool uh I don't have anything for my bonus action so that will be you want to move anywhere you to stay there I'm gonna climb up into the into the driver's seat of that of the wagon okay yeah just going to just going to stand up there and yeah that's it all right uh s uh Isam is going to use his tattoos on one of the guards that the one that looked like it was the most damage but doesn't have the like golden saving throw thing and that's a dc14 strength saving throw I mean they're all about the same so which one you want to well there was one that made a save and is that was the gold one the other ones are pretty much the same except the one outside the circle that just took the most damage the other ones have taken exact exact same amount of damage all right I'll do the one to the right of isan like closer to the camera yeah if that one is is the one that that it doesn't have the gold stuff on it yeah that would be number three and the one the further south is that if I can zoom out a little bit there you go all right there we go all right uh what's the saving throw uh dc14 strength saving thr if they save nothing happens uh that is an 18 okay his tattoos Slither out and do nothing uh and then as a bonus action he is going to [Music] he's going to cast uh cure wounds on himself does a tattoo a bonus action uh the tattoo is an a oh wait shoot you're right I meant healing word is what I meant to say oh okay and he's going to take like a small insect out of on like a butterfly and crush it and absorb like wor okay what's what's amazing arus kis oh kis definitely want to see it but arnus didn't see it because she's in the cart five how much is that 9 plus 5 is 14 so that probably was a waste because I don't think he's going to survive this round all right how much health did you get uh I got that's uh 14 Health oh that's not bad not bad at all for a healing word yeah it was at level three cuz I don't have any other I have like one level one spot left and a level one isn't going to do enough to keep him up but I don't think this would either I probably should have done spiritual weapon to be honest but I didn't how you tonight beards in battle Lis can a shout out for Beard of bis please all righty that is a really cool name are you staying there or you going to run uh I am staying here I'm not going to take the opportunity ATT and I want to keep them inside spe Guardians all right uh Arnis uh what's your passive perception 15 yeah uh 15 yeah yeah uh you definitely hear one of the guards shout that and if you look out the window to your right you see the [ __ ] show that's happening [Music] um uh and you were inside yeah I'm sorry I forgot but you you and kis were inside see if you can untime he is Shackled with shackles and uh shanier I'll say you found the set of keys I forgot to tell you my bad but I don't think they told you about anybody being the car up they didn't no uh well [ __ ] I guess I'll hold [Music] action cuz I don't know what to do um if I look out the window and I see them attacking any of my friends besides any some I'm probably going to attack back apparently they're only attacking is I know they're only attacking Isam right now probably gathered that he did something yeah he did something but I'm not sure what or what's going on so so you're going to exit the cart I'll say exiting cart would be half your movement uh yeah I'll exit the cart you come out right behind the Garden in front of you okay [Music] um and you fell on your face dick stair is even through don't say that yeah save though just J drop [Music] you has you come out of the cart you see a guard right in front of the door uh [Music] um [ __ ] it I'm going to do burning hands at third level deck 16 burning hands how far is that R uh 5T it's a 15t cone yeah it's not going to hit anything but the guard so we're good yeah the guard yeah are a that save yes ah natural 19 they take 23 so why would have disadvantage plate armor why would I have disadvantage because of plate armor disadvantage for what just on steal Ste Ste but if they're not strong enough then they have a lowered movement speed uh they'll take 11 uh fire damage nice well they would have full if they had 23 what is wrong with you the [ __ ] I want freedom is that is that your turn you want to keep moving that was you still half your moment left but if you do move you take opportunity attack I take an opportunity attack so I'm not going to move um oh that's all I do all right uh Providence uh F what are we doing what are we doing what are we doing what are we doing um hit hit them because they're hitting new guy uh can I run in without provoking opportunity attack on that on that person oh yeah is there enough space okay yeah I'll run into the person that's closest to me and Isam um bonus action going to uh engage right Rous Fury for the second time today uh and that is [Music] a uh that is a I can't even read this um that is a two what is a two uh oh teleport after I moved of course after I move I get teleport is a bonus action anyway you use your bonus action to rage yeah no but it also gets me you teleport up to 30 feet to an OCC unoccupied space until your range ends no no until your range ends you can use this effect again on each of your turns as a bonus action so it activates initially I think Boulders Gate's [ __ ] me up then with the wild magic then because once I get it because it takes your bonus action to rage and it takes a bonus action to teleport yeah but it's so but as the rule is written it says you teleport up to 30 ft to an unoccupied space you can see period all there G changes up a lot of LIF up spells don't work the same so do you want to teleport now I guess I'm hopping to n I'll no I'll do it later um does it say you specifically does it specifically say you teleport now yes does it say you do or you can it says you teleport up to 30t to an unoccupied space you can see also up to can be zero feet you just true uh you can put me can you put me kind of wedged between the the two guys so I'm opposite uh Isam in between one and three yes in between one and three as close as poss yeah right there perfect uh and I am going to attack uh one uh I can use this on my sheet um hey check out your rewards you got a lot of them do I oh yeah oh yeah rewards uh I'm going to have to use some rewards I need some rewards I don't have any this is so mean uh so I'm going to um was really hoping to get in some deep lore tonight and storytelling but they just wanted to be murder hobos and ruin it for [Laughter] me literally our slave owners I'm surprised that they have that they're this strong they could have taken the black order we could have sat back the whole time um and6 you think I just gonna give you regular guards for escorting you guys there's seven of yall that is an unnatural 20 I'm using one of my rewards for my d6s and a use my emboldening bond for a plus three so it's a plus six and a plus three uh so that brings me up to a 20 unnatural very unnatural okay 20 hits unnatural uh 20 hits okay um damage is not uh never mind because you meet it breeds it they have a they have a chance to up their AC but not that high all right that's 10 damage on the person on on one plus two for oh is it two now or is it three I think it's two for what oh rage rage okay uh yeah plus two melee damage so 12 damage two more right as you cut into this one you find the the separation of the plates and I want this one uh well actually no you as you come in you clean the helmet that they have on off and that is a she and you real and you cut the back of the neck down the side of the shoulder as [Music] she that is a woman that you just struck fine women can fight too equal opportunity mhm equal rights equal fights that's what I say is that it for your turn uh bonus action movement your bonus action was rage yeah I know I'm saying bonus action movement and attack that's it oh okay all righty kis you're up and glitch yeah you're on Deck so okay uh so I'm gonna disgu and Sh you said like metal shackles shackles yeah and uh so I'm just going to shout out did anybody find a key and then I will be right back I have to figure out what's going on and I'm going to stumble away from this man and throw open the door and just yo what is happening and then that is my turn I look down and I I see the key and it's like I found the key give him over here technically he was in a carart you're on the outside yeah whatever [ __ ] it he there's got to be some kind of window right there at the front all right uh ready glitch well glitch will turn and see that there a CO boy we're leaving we're leaving the opposite of leaving right now this is how we leave he's excited for it and he's going to move his 30 feet towards the botle he 30 about right there yeah I can only see the one guy I'm guessing from my angle it looks like you can see the one and the one that's in front of arus okay I can see arinis arnus is in front just Ste out the car she's she's right behind the guard oh yeah sorry AR not I was think somebody else sorry we'll just uh how dam I'll just cast this on them which one cast heat metal on them the one closest to the yes is that a touch spell 60 foot range no crazy this is the best spell I love heat metal this this need to happen at least once in this campaign I was asking Arwin if she had it I forgot glitch might get it what is the save no save there isn't one I take the armor and I turn it into really hot there's no safe from it at all okay it's metal take his armor off the idea the idea is that you have you put you're concentrating on that though right it's a concentration concentration up to a minute yeah the is you put in their weapon they drop their weapon but they unless they have quick release armor they can't drop they can't take out their armor and how much damage was that 15 okay and it's continuous every turn it's so good unless they can take their armor off somehow takes like five minutes I have to use my bonus action to make it keep going but that's obviously it's kind of like witch I guess in a sense like that I guess kind of all right uh is that your turn yeah it is I will then give my use my bonus action defensive field to give me five temporary hit points and that's it all right top of the round Fame okay I will um I'm gonna use my bonus action to throw one of my magic rocks at the one at number one that is going to miss that's 12 to miss one an that one was it no okay I don't have a plus 11 on any of my roles thank you though okay remember I rolled the worst stats in the group um and and then I will Aldrich blast the same one I will use Advantage one of my advantages on the first blast so many marking those off for me I I'll mark it off in a second if no one else gets to it I'll get it thank you and so that is a 21 to hit that one 21 hits okay for and just at number one right uh yeah number one got it that oh well that's six damage six Force damage nice yep because I rolled a two on the d10 and then for the second blast same same one didn't you do the first one I we're level five now I get two blasts well yeah I know you did the first one that was a I threw my rock I threw one of my one of my um magic rocks a bonus action as a bonus action um but that's that's only uh oh hold on this that is a 19 to hit 19 hits oh actually no it's not a melee attack so never mind that's better that's 12 points of damage very nice and the armor is slightly dented but kaleis will never know it's severely dented as these are coming in and the the the helmet portion of this armor just got cracked into with Providence to swing all right helmet are helmets are CH I will move closer to the circle of ancestors but I will not go into it yeah as you get close to it you hear doesn't matter I wasn't going to I was not going into the ancestor Circle anyways but all right it's their turn they got to make uh wisdom sa for your uh spiritual Guardians yes natural two natural 19s and a natural 18 all of those save yeah so they are going to take and I forgot to I forgot to do the three radiant damage last time as well no I took it okay cuz you said you said it at some point and I took it so yeah so it would have been eight and that's reduced to four so four damage for those guys all righty do they do they go before me or after me yeah they go before you okay and then your surprise round kind of threw it off so he's going to look at Providence because he's going to go down this round probably uh and he's going to say don't let them have any more slaves like while they stab him to death this round well the one the one that hit Providence is going to turn around and hit Providence back we just do both attacks see if they hit uh probably yes and yes 21 and a 20 yes and yes so I'll just roll all the damage at once save some time is this where Providence goes down you take 21 points of slashing damage from this great sword as it comes into you but you're raging so it's half damage yeah so 11 yeah uh the other two is going to make their two attacks into s with the first round attacks it's a natural one so assom you get opportunity attack uh since I have um since I have War Caster I can usually use my reaction to cast a spell not for this I'm not going to do that cuz this is the home brew rule I'm just going to give you opportunity attack cuz they're not leaving your range to activate that this is just like a home brew because they rolled a that one he has never used his weapon so I have to look that up real quick hold on uh okay he ruled a uh a one yeah to attack so they're just going to cancel out all right um the SEC the his the other one attack was where at uh six points of slashing damage all right um can I use my DM's inspiration to get extra advantage or it doesn't really stack with no it does okay well there uh there's a natural two but one's a natural 20 oh I can't fix it I ran out of charges I'm sorry okay oh in that case I forgot to have the little document open would you like to roll a D20 to see what you get for your I got a five thought I pinned this thing I guess I didn't did you not I think you did no I mean like in my tabs talking about oh it's a sheet going to say how are we supposed to find it then I've got it uh a five is knocked down rendered prone what is this [Music] Pathfinder I still no you're you're not unconscious critical deck you're not down to rendered unconscious it says prone become oh never mind I was reading sit my bad guys I just narrowly missed unconscious it's not called Flat footed anymore now it's called offg guard oh all right uh you take 11 points of slashing damage all right and barely hold on to concentration yeah you got to make concentration shaves yeah I passed the first one the second one I also passed AR you get opportunity attack cuz this one's running straight towards uh glitch cuz you know stupid heat metal make two attacks on glitch um arish what'd you get you're muted natural 20 I got an natural 20 sorry what you hitting him with uh my skar all right uh do you want to do uh wound or you want to or just do the double damage take the crit damage I'll take the damage I'll take the crit damage roll crit damage then see they're even up actually uh 11 where's my counter oh we wrong one uh 11 yep arnus how would you like to kill this cuz he had eight or who is it she had eight Health when you came as she's rning by I'm going to grab my sword and kind of just slice across her back oh I'm sorry CH okay don't do it across her back she has armor there as she slices through as she slices through the armor through the back cuz a heat metal made it melting she slices through the melted heat armor into the back slices and she falls straight down in the dirt face first yay Sean you're up and some your own deck you save me from a beating all right uh I'll start out by by uh picking up these Keys uh in the front well I mean they're in your they were in your hand when you found the on the bodies and I'm I'm standing in the door I see I see pull you out oh no you you haven't exited the card huh no I'm standing in the doorway yeah okay I can't open the door on this Carriage so just use your imagination imagination theater of the Mind in my yeah the door doesn't actually open we run a hybrid game here how much more hybrid would you get with this uh okay so now yeah I guess I got him up the bodies uh then I'll I'll come back down off the off the front of the you're high horse my yes yes I'll say be half your movement or you can jump down and make it second uh I'm good at those I'll do that I'll jump down and we'll do a cool thing would it be a deck saving thr or an acrobatics check uh it's plus seven either way and that's a 20 so you're fine yeah there we go yeah so jump down I'm going to uh run closer to I'm going to run next to arus um I'll I'll toss the keys up to kis how about you hand them to me okay I will have my hand out like if I have enough movement I will I will walk up to kis and hand him to him I mean you're right there in front of the door if yall stick your hands out you can yeah 63 all right I'll just like I'll hand you up the the keys thank you you have you have the keys uh and then turn around I'll cast another uh dissonant Whispers uh we'll St on guard one that's than 30 feet right oh it's 60 uh 20 20 25 and then that's probably about 30 okay uh we'll do it on yeah we'll do it on guard number one uh distant Whispers level three uh dc15 with some saving throw is this a frighten spell uh it does not cause the frightened effect does give a disadvantage doesn't it makes them run it makes them run but it doesn't but it's not a charm or frighten effect it is not yeah it is not The Charmed or frightened effect so yeah being an elf doesn't save you from that one I guess is what he's saying well you're not L's they just had the what they call a brave they have advantage against or whatever yeah being frightened uh what the save uh wisdom wisdom uh 11 that's DC was 15 that's 25 psychic damage 25 psychic damage on one on one correct well it don't even matter because you know it has eight health so that's that's really cool of them and how they did that for me anyway uh how do that look for your G and Whi they go inside and your head explodes is that what it is kind kind of kind of yes uh so like I I I I I play I play this kind of dis discordant Melody and that's what they hear and as they like try and like run away uh due to the effects of the spell they they just kind of fall uh cuz their their their brain couldn't handle it just like a trickle of blood coming out of their like I sockets and [ __ ] nice cry a little bit of blood you know the usual anyway that's my turn got it Isam Isam is going to our on Deck uh that c trip that's the Bell one what the [ __ ] de to to the dead that's a wisdom uh saving thr dc16 for who which one uh the one that looks like they're hurting the most of the two that is a 10 okay so that's 2D2 this could be really good or really bad which one you doing it on oh [ __ ] uh damn uh that is 18 points of damage on the one that is is to my right to your right so number two so the one that's farthest away from Providence yeah two okay number two I see the numbers now I wondered why you were counting wrong all this time I was like that's not the third one so you said 12 points of damage no 18 God damn it's 2D2 if they're already injured so take uh so that one as the bells ring ding Blood starts trickling out of the ears the nose and the eyes as now this one is bloody the way he does it though is instead of like a bell he pulls out like another insect and he snaps it in his fingers and the like sound of the snap makes their bones crack that's all right uh is that your turn and then uh he's going to take actually three more radiant damage from the Asmar thing and then both of them are going to take what's the range of that damage uh I get to add three to a what's the range of your is it just five feet uh no it's uh so there's one that you get to add to a spell or attack so you get no no I'm asking what's your range of your rting oh that'll hit Providence as well so the other the other one will be so he'll take the one number two will take six more damage number three will take three more damage and a Providence will take what like one or two I don't know whether uh two cuz it rounds up I think yeah it rounds up yeah so as I'm taking this damage well but you you you have resistance to radiant damage so it's half yeah yeah that's why she's taking two instead of three oh yeah yeah that's right yeah never mind I'm tripping so she just looks at you like what the hell man and then she has like this moment like his eyes are glowing like almost in The Identical way that your eyes glow when you do your yeah and then she has this moment of clar and she's like oh oh that's how everyone else feels not everyone else arus okay I'm going to move a little bit closer to the edge of that big circle cuz I don't want to get near that any more than you flying in the air yeah no I'm good I don't want to go closer I'm going to do can I do from this far away I guess I'll use my L second level scorching Ray on number three three three is a clearer shot 18 18 is your AC okay and then do you have I've got three you get three of them yeah so for one Ray it is four damage I saw five pop up is it four it says five it's five five my bad five okay I know it wasn't crazy I saw a five pop up for damage all right second Ray oh do I roll again or do I just hit they're all separate attacks okay so 25 hits 25 yeah roll the third one see if that hits okay there's six six and yeah 23 23 hits so six and then nine very nice all on three very nice that your turn that's my turn Providence um yeah um she's going to first of all she's going to see this this this guy just drop down beside or this lady dropped down beside her and she's going to be like yeah that's right just assuming she did it um then she's going to take her sword and uh she is going to first actually she's going to bonus action um and she's going to set off the radiant consumption um so every within everybody around her will take uh three radiant damage so Jr you'll take one and a half or two one and a half yeah and I'll do a constitution or Constitution saving thing watch your roll War just [Laughter] barely I laugh my ass off you made him drop it the first one the first one was an eight and then I second one was a 10 it's so close so three three damage yep uh and then she's going to attack the person beside her and she's going to do it with Advantage I'm going to use um do I want to go Reckless they have two attacks it seems kind of Reckless but I guess that's the name of it mhm I'll go Reckless uh and row with Advantage mhm they just get advantage on you yeah I know I know I know what Reckless means like I get it um wow that's just Satan for everybody not just specifically you in case somebody didn't know what Reckless meant thank you J I appreciate it 25 we have an audience 25 hits uh okay and damage is going to be uh slightly better than last time 11 + 2 plus an additional two so 15 well it has 12 health so how do you want to kill it ah the great sword is is it a her sure that's good oh this one is a guy okay I would like the great sword to just like this is not elegant it just goes right down into the guy's neck and it gets stuck there for a second either in his bones or the armor and she has to like wedge it out uh and then I have great weapons master so I get another attack on top of this so she's going to move forward and then do another attack with Advantage om Garis ask in chat hey what does reckless mean Reckless means you attack with Advantage they get attacks on you for Advantage uh did wet's nuts ask that thanks thanks W's nuts y I think it's old man what's his nuts Fair uh second attack emotional damage I'm not off H it's a 23 and I can add un Bolding Bond if that doesn't hit 20 that's a four hits It's a 24 yeah that that probably hits it do real damage yeah 24 hits yeah uh not as good oh it's exactly the same so 15 two of it is radiant 15 you got it still up but he's barely standing yeah as you slice into the arm is that your turn yes that is my turn oh I felt good my master uh well now that I got the keys I'm going back to that man and I'm going to Fumble around fumble around and unshackle him all right get me cuz blind I can technically see it cuz blind fighting you see people or B everything anything okay yeah you can see it then all right uh you can unshackle him like I don't know what's going on out there but nobody should be in shackles thank you what's your name and then we cut all right glitcher up glit will do that his as far as you can towards the last I'm assuming you're dropping a heat metal unless you want to keep heating the metal that's on the ground melted it even I've decided that I might do that see if I can get close enough just cook them from cook them inside their armor the dead the dead corse where you want to go you see the guy barbecue go down yep perfect if I can if I'm still look like I'm still away I can't punch him oh you want to get close you want to get in oh yeah you sure can I want to attack him I didn't know how you wanted to attack him you should say go down oh sorry that's true I'm going to do the same thing I'm mad these these are all slavers he's matter of the world technically these are not slav but okay well they all are for your characters you might think they're slavers but not that they're not the slavers what's that what's that hit okay I'm going to he's going to punch him in the back twice 17 to hit 17 misses and a second attack back oh Jesus 15 15 they're both next actually well then they get their gauntlets up and yeah block each sh as frustration he'll continue barbecuing the lady all right you're up um how far am I from number two please about 30 feet okay um I'm going to run up and use magic fighting you going go into the scary I'm mad one of them hit her huh I said I'm mad one of them hit cre and she goes through the thing your as I'm running up but before I'm in melee I'm going to use my bonus action to actually no I won't I won't throw the rock I'm just going to run up and um bite yeah but I'm going to use my other advantage to try to hit so uh that is a 23 to hit yes that hits okay and Magic fighting is one F1 for nine points of uh is that a poison they always make it don't matter it has three hit points how you want to matters to me how do you want to do this I run up and jump and just bite it in the neck because I'm not biting armor I'm smart enough to know that um and rip out its throat gruesome yep I'm gruesome so there's currently two uh rating consumptions going off and I don't know if I can control mine um I was gonna say as soon as I like I might take damage from them but as soon as possible I'm booking it out of the ancestors out of combat I'll heal well hold on hold on there's still two she's right there no cuz there is two radi conceptions so we'll scroll through John you saying where you're at you're muted you're muted damn it I knew I was gonna remind my I told myself I was muted I told myself I was muted you know what I'm gonna I'm GNA just like there there's a body next to me right one of them should be dead somewhere I know no no no the body ran away and got SL actually slashed and the heat metal still going off on it too right oh that one's a little bit lower right um I'll go like stand next to it wait for that heat metal to wear off but yeah the pretty much same spot all right it's still actively going it's melting the body is like mush the metal the plate metal you can pretty much if you look at it your passive perception it's pretty worthless at this point so it's only 71 degrees cels where like the collagen in your skin starts to melt that's only like I think 160ish uh arnus what are you doing is not even there all right uh Providence give me wisdom saving throw if you're trying to end it uh sure uh so if I fail does it stay up or do I if like how does that work remember remember you have to try to seced to make it stop get control of yourself okay that's what you wanted initially no I'm I'm just so I'm just confused about what the DC is that's all uh it's a fail it's a seven yeah that's definitely a fail all right she's look she's going to look at at esam and she's like what the hell man stop it stop it that hurts so uh thing Isam what's the range of yours just 10 or 15 10t 10 10 yeah yeah so Isam and Arness not Arness feain you take what three three I now that we got resurrected yeah uh and Isam two all right kayis yep you staying in are you doing anything specifically for this right now you just staying in the cart yeah okay glitch I was going to heal this Al for nine hit points not a good role in healing thank you that is way more than I I was down to five so that's really helpful oh I skipped Assam didn't I did you drop yours Assam uh yeah I Dr on my turn what I would have done is if I can give her the help action to calm down then I would do that if not I would cast less with my very last first level spell slot to on her going cast blast instead all right uh if I can't give her the help action then I will do that yes uh I say since just met I will say no for what this is right and I'm going to cast bless on her uh that'll give her an extra D4 on saving throws and I the D4 would have helped so yeah for the next one uh and I'm going to drop the radiant consumption okay uh and he's just going to kind of study her while she's struggling with it all right f um if the ancestors are still up I am going to the ancestors are down they're down okay yeah the ancestors are gone yeah he cast bless which is another concentration spell and that'll immediately drop perfect yeah um you just casting bless on her and that's it gotcha uh yeah and dropping radiant consumption I think is my bonus action and then he's like going to try to he's studying her for a moment he's going to try to Insight her to try to figure out what's going on whenever he can it doesn't have to be this turn all right these guys are dead John I I I don't know I mean I'm just kind of standing here all right [Music] s you can do this he like makes eye contact UM and like like the bless is now in effect and he's just going to be trying to talk her talk her through it with the things that Malik had shown him as much as possible what are you going to say because this will this will give me what depends on what you says I'll give her advantage on it close your eyes and imagine a flame let it burn out and extinguish all right uh arnus skipped my turn did I yeah yeah you did Ashley Fame what you doing you asked what I was doing and then said they dropped the ancestors okay uh it's it's where did you want to go my bad well I I don't need to run out anymore I'm just going to turn to PR and be like your explosions are getting stronger and it's really cool um and I'm still just going to stand right next to her I might even move closer um I'm G to stay where I'm at cuz I'm not going to get hit with that okay for sure I just kind of watch and see if uh Isam and F can turn it down cuz f is trying to do that Asam I'm going to have you roll me a contested wisdom check with me not with you just a straight wisdom check or is it a saving through just a straight wisdom check cuz you're technically can I use my can I use my advantage DM's advantage on this sure D's inspiration that's a natural 20 very nice uh Providence as you're sitting there focusing uh I'll actually even do this you s when you say this to her you see a flicker of black go across her eyes as she's trying to listen to and follow your instructions you see the flicker of black and then you can roll Advantage Providence okay so I have advantage and a bless as well and and um emboldening Bond uh so advantage on the wisdom savings throw let's see how I I do Advantage roll that's uh 14 plus bless which is a five plus that's 19 plus a one is a unnatural 20 nice uh you say from it and you're able to keep it from happening but you do see the image of her once again in your mind trying to keep you suppressed all thank you that helped did did we take it damage this round it does happen at the end of my turn yeah so she drops it so you're fine so we're no longer in combat you can do whatever the hell you want you're so much stronger now it's awesome as I have blood on my chin oh F I'm so sorry uh and she's just going to walk up too she's going to put your hand on your chest not in a sexual way and um she's going to cast Healing Hands and or not cast uh she's going to activate Healing Hands um and she's going to yeah she's going to give you back how much is that it used to be a small amount um 3D 3 D4 also I didn't actually take damage from that unless the temp HP stopped no the temp HP lasts until it just doesn't refresh anymore when the thing disappear but I'll take it anyways that being said uh we'll pick up this after our break I just realized what time it was so we're going to go ahe and take our break guys we'll be back and follow up with this unexpected comment I was not prepared for all right thank you guys well we'll be right back yep sorry guys welcome back guys sorry guys I don't know what's going on with the sound alerts I went to the the dashboard and I was getting errors on the dashboard so I think the sound alerts are messing up but uh everything else is should be working I could get them to work on there but I can't some reason redeem them here doesn't work I don't know I was getting errors so I don't know sorry about that guys uh we'll make sure we refund

strength check go is emboldening Bond still up uh I'll say no now okay that's fine uh that is a 13 for a total of 11 I'm slowly dring dring as you try you're just completely struggling every now then like a piece of armor slides off because you're trying to drag it I stop and pile it on top and keep going it's very slow progress very slow hey you said they had great swords right yes can I see if any of them are better quality than mine uh give me investigation check always asking the Barbarian for intelligence checks you ask G to give you what it [Music] is an advantage because she knows great swords it's an eight there's still Forge cast great swords they might look cleaner than yours because or newer or fresher but they don't do any more damage just regular great shorts um we'll cut over into the cart with kis because kis he asked like what's what's your name kis what's your name I'll cut back to the battle scene for this guy's handout art so I thought you were like only giving him that much of a I did too and I was like I mean I again y all role play one word at a time time it's fine my name is Sir Frederick strung my name is I The Honorable I believe these people were taking me because of my boss and who I work for that I never met I overheard them mentioning something they're trying to get to him through me okay um well you're free now and he kind of like looks out the door and realizes that he can't see so he's listening to see if they're still fighting no oh you you hear metal dragging across the ground terribly yeah but I hear feain grunting with it yeah I would assume you're free to [Music] go okay you start standing up I like go outside be like so we're all in agreement that we're not taking this guy back to the twins right why aren't we no feain f i I think we should let him go um okay I I think I think we don't like either the web Wells or the yeah the living but we owe them money they just owe us our lives well I mean technically we owe them our lives because they paid for they enslaved us that is not so we're stealing ourselves from them and he's he says well at least now you have options you don't have to tell them what was in the cart or if anything was in the cart okay hold on uh sir Frederick what as he's starting to walk off like wait what is some ask you uh he's just asking my name [Music] and I forgot what you asked him at this point but nothing really important uh isam's going to say it might be a good idea to hang around for a moment he's like barely holding on to the Rock here even though glitch healed him he's still kind of a little bit rough in do you still need healing uh Pro is like you're fine you're fine and casts a little bit of healing um I was like I still have like a bunch of lay on hands left I said all is anyone going to tell us anyone just kis Isam what did you guys talk about uh this man they kidnapped him like they kidnapped us uhhuh he's fighting the Black Water okay by himself he said a boss that he doesn't know who his boss is okay I know my boss's name I just never met him I your boss why have you never met your boss we never meet their bosses does he have a really weird looking face is it he's one of the Elders of our order we never meet them wait wait wait they kept hidden order just are you talking about the order of goblet yes so do you not see the Goblet engraved on my metal I don't he's blind okay did they try they're trying to get to my boss his name is uh ashy I'm not going to tell you your name cuz I don't know trust you okay Craven mentioned them do you remember did he Craven yes yeah he's here I think so too where we thought he here here not here here he's in the SL trade he's the champion of down the secret evil city for at least two years or more we were going to help him get out but then we didn't so you might want to tell your order kayis give me a perception check with Advantage cuz you can hear very well well uh 14 I mean he's not far away even with that you all you catch is Mr Trinity will be pleased to hear it that he mutters that under his breath but with your heightened senses you hear that and uh L Barbarian Tes to have some way to wear heavy armor than yes you got to be proficient with heavy armor yeah I was I was joking oh sorry I'm I imagine I'm at least halfway to the carriage now so I'm not moving your minis you're fine just use your imagination how did you get kidnapped did these people kidnap you and he motions to the ground where he assumes all the bodies are laying there's a lot of bodies out here yeah we're really good okay anyway uh what is Craven what do you want with him he wants something with me I don't really understand what kind of weird kind of hot but um no let make a suggestion why don't we move to somewhere May I a suggestion cuz you look really shitty just healed him number four uh and K that one k motions to Esau like come here he's just going to stand there for a moment well you think he's a dog yeah I'm not talking to him yeah he's not he's not coming uh but he's going to he's just going to say uh listen we might be able to help each other but maybe we should relocate to somewhere safer where we can have a longer discussion where do you want to go he's going to look to Jean Pierre and glitch and the other see if they have any suggestions above table you're the one that made this attacking the guards so I think it's hilarious that you killed the guards but you look at the other people for guidance I mean he's basically all he wanted to do was make sure that when we talked about what to do with this guy he didn't know Kayla was going to release him uh that when we talked about what to do with this guy that we had all the options on the table um so he wasn't like trying to preempt it like preempt their decision making exactly but like he wasn't like presuming that they're going to run that they're going to help this guy they're not going to help this guy but he thought they there might be an alliance possibility since he's fighting the black order and Isam hates the black order as well um so he just wants to like feel things out somewhere K kind of raises his hand kayis you don't have to raise your hand yes you do why did we attack the guards that the twin sent with us they are slavers no I I I'm not upset I'm just confused we attack we we killed them because they were all attacking Isam actually that's true yeah I mean now we now we have opport opportunities to do what we want we can still go back and just say they died to the other people but so so the guards just started attacking the man that's been working for the twins longer than week yes I was inside with you I have no idea isan this man is fighting the black order and I wanted you at least to have the opportunity to by the way why why is the cart halfway inside the cliff and halfway out because we oh check this out and I walk original objective was to hijack this cart and take it back to our I hesitant to say employers owners owners owners us they're own us yeah owners why would you want half a cut that's like half what the [ __ ] come here apparently there's an illusion here I walk through the I walk through the wall what the [ __ ] did he go I come back out that's a wall it's an illusion touge it you touge it feel it it's pretty it's it's pretty cool I bet you can't even feel it what's on the other side of that a tunnel also another cart and then an underground city where a bunch of bad people live some illegal things maybe underground city Chester Bay the city that's underground I don't know I don't know what else to say you know like who is who is this guy anyway vonstein he is Sir Frederick St the're honorable The Honorable how do you get a title like that can I be the honorable lady Providence the he's The Honorable I'm the dishonorable that' be good I thought honorable with blood all down yeah you might want to clean yourself up anyway uh let's move the carts out of here all right can we go just into the middle of the field with both of the carts and then keep them forever I say we go to the side okay look Mr Mr Mr The Honorable you you're not a prisoner but you can't just leave I'm sorry we have to figure some stuff out that's the classification of a prisoner no no we have been prisoners we won't hold you but we you just said I can't leave yet yes yet she misspoke you can leave but we'd like you not to we would prefer it if you stayed and helped us answer some questions you just told me Craven that we've been looking for for years years we thought was dead as a prisoner why are you looking for him and can we have this conversation out of the middle of the road you can do whatever you want where is Craven in a city full of evil people that we just escaped from we can tell you where Craven is when I say full of evil people I mean like the whole city more than thousand like like crime isn't crime there because it's not illegal it's it's still illegal it's not illegal it's just wrong yeah it's moral it's immoral it's immoral yeah okay okay but you're allowed to do it he sound like looks like he's getting a headache and just kind of does this for a [Laughter] moment what don't you want to have this conversation just just over there how far we from any kind of civilization ation that's no but I mean it's days glitch yeah so I can come with me into the carriage and look around see if there are clues or anything or like was it just this singular man that they were transporting and a kid okay was like bring your kid to work day I think that's that was you find uh three uh glitch you find uh there's two sets there's two couches in here obviously and furniture and stuff but you only thing you find really of worth is two pieces of art of ships that have been painted they worth uh 25 oh that's why wrote down you didn't find 25 gold pieces each of the art was worth 25 gold pieces uh no my notes Clearly say we found 25 I misspoke each of the Arts is 25 gold worth gold pieces and you have found 15 copper and 15 silver so three pie I imagine JP and I have not told anyone about yeah so you do not get the 25 gold pieces you find the art work that's worth 25 gold pieces how big is it and what is it of ships three different ships one of them uh you've seen before because you transported on is the pure black with the harpies all over it which is what did I say it was the last Harpy I've never been a fan of nautical art um so why don't we hide the carriages somewhere for a moment and then we can go deeper into the forest and I there no this an open plane it's just an open plane okay well there's nowhere to hide with them uh no uh we can go a little ways away and I can cast lian's tiny Hut as a ritual uh to give us a space to safely talk in cool does that include grave dirt that will involve grave dirt don't tell F Fain you you think Fain isn't hyper aware for anytime that jar of dirt comes out I got jar dirt I got jar dirt normal people don't carry ground around everywhere we're on land uh oh work on none of us are normal people F yeah I don't trust any of your ancestors or my ancestors if there's any way to discreetly get the car like the cars out of the way maybe we can do that that and then we can go talk and I would say at least get the carriages out of the way just in case anybody that's trying to use this can okay what you going to do with the bodies oh [ __ ] um put them in put the Bodies In The Carriage that we came in okay MH and then a lot of bodies set it on five what not set it on fire let's not set it on fire no let's leave the bodies here and then if we decide to go back to the to the living STS which I'm vinant opposed to but if there's some sort of like strategic plan to do so we just tell them that the guards died in the fight and if you want tomorrow I can raise a zombie and we can send the cart with a zombie in a little note that' be fun um is anyone strong enough to use the armor on this person CU they're too heavy with it I'm gonna say yes yes okay I'm one of the pieces that fell off and throw it at kis and take another piece that fell off and throw it at glitch it's just going to like hit him in the side what the hell there's that's the kind of armor that it is but there's more take two points of blood geni damage K I have A2 strength he would not you don't control the density of this armor I control how hard I can throw it doesn't matter you throw it and instead of hitting him it just drops like one foot in front of [Laughter] you there's lots of armor around I still say we just gather all the bodies up into one cart let just leaving them in the I'm not no no burning but Gathering bodies up that way nobody just comes across all these dead bodies what if we melt them instead like why would we do that because there's a pile of goop right there that used to be one of them all right I forgot turn that off it's still sizzling it's just cooking right now kis can't see it but suddenly smells some meat I can't we're cooking Long's Al I'm proud of you a minute four cuz we're turning you into a real orc today no you you got at least like three of them today good job put metal armor onto them and do what you know needs to be done heat metal is that what she trying to say it's a D and D microwave I will I will start removing the the armor from the one that I've been dragging so that I can like have a pile of it for them to figure out who gets it and that is like the only usable set of armor out of all these rest of them were either destroyed or melted is there anything else on this person uh the great sword IET change uh I like the great swords but it's kind of nice to I don't know if I love them each have a heavy crossbow as well and we found eight gold pieces I tell no one uh well it's eight cool pieces if you're searching all of them well actually no cuz one melted that would have melted uh I'll just say if any you find eight gold pieces and two silver pieces and four copper on that guy cool I tell no one all right what do y'all doing once we've got the carts like out of the way like maybe on the sides somewhere you going move them around the other side of the mountain or the RO root side not it's not a mountain but like a rock cliff yeah yeah okay uh then we'll move both carts and you pile the bodies in the old one yes then maybe we'll move like a I don't know like a safe distance away where we're still inside of the carts but not like like we'll be in a good position to see the surrounding area and uh Isam will start like gather everyone around to make a little camp and start uh like make maybe like a little fire for Te are you keeping the cars within R eyesight yeah and then he's going to circle he's going to pull his dirt out and he's going to motion feain to come with him it's okay F just listen to me all I want to do is talk I won't activate this yet I will stay on the outside and as he's like slowly like what like like like dropping just like a little tiny pinch of dirt in the circle Fain these these aren't your ancestors and really quietly like hopefully so other people can't over here they be like a Dr tradition not an orcish tradition and they're not meant to H you only to protect no I I don't trust it if you stand on the inside you can leave and come back but when I activate this if you're on the outside you won't be able to come in it'll protect you from harm I promise I owe you a great deal you kept me alive in that last battle I would be dead if it wasn't for you I wouldn't do this if I thought it would harm you y'all could feel free to do the persuasion and all that stuff if you like to this this is pretty core for Fain anything about ancestors I don't know if and the they proba didn't make a difference I'm going to let y'all handle it I'm just saying y'all can have options to do that between each other if you would like do you want him to roll what do you think I I will I will think about it but not now well I'm casting the spell now so you're either going to be in the conversation we're going to have with a guy or you're going to be out of the conversation that you have with a guy on the other side of a impenetrable Hut so that's the thing I can be on the outside thank you you're not going to give me a persuasion check on you just be because it specifically feain has in her head that it's about ancestors um not not on this one yeah all right well keep watch for us so basically Liam's uh tiny Huts uh can hold 10 people I think uh it says nine creatures of medium size or smaller can fit inside the Dome uh all other creatures and objects are bared from passing through it spells and other magical effects can't extend through the Dome or be cast through it and the atmosphere inside the space is comfortable and dry regardless of the weather outside question does that nine or 10 people count down people dead people uh do you really want to have a nice conversation M you're mutant Jud that would be uh they would be counted as objects but they still take up a space so I would say yes cuz it's more of an area like Pro stops dragging one of the guys he was helping to pull over to the all right who's going to be inside the hut as he casts this I think I think everybody but F yeah keep keep an eye out yell if you hear anything we're see okay I'll let you know if it's safe in here okay don't die or anything please wrong don't worry although then you'll be immune like the rest of us did uh does shamp Pierre split the 15 copper pieces and 15 silver pieces we yeah we we split it yep okay but I mean I'm talking about with everybody or just y'all two yep yep oh my God uhuh just those you okay I I have I have a mouse I need to get back and he is a pirate I was there um so that's that's why I get a cut yep okay just you know what yall can handle the coin yourself all right I'm not I'm not I'm hands off all right all right uh so right now f is the only one outside you'll pile the bodies on the old cart that you came up with and how' you part the carts up against the wall so when y'all I'm asking is y'all cast a Hut are you which carts did you park how did you what order did you park them or did you park them side by side you can see both of them yeah so if there's any way to get them out of sight like behind the rock outcropping so there people coming through might not see them I'm trying to see if you have visual on both of them or not we would like to have visual on both cards yeah probably you well you not but what about everybody else yeah strategically we need to have visual on both cards got it all right the blind jokes continue always all right all right uh so you c h was is f going to be doing where is she just sitting on outside of it or what um I'll kind I will probably spend about a minute or two doing like Rounds Around The Hut and then I'll get bored of that and go and start doing little like hand puppet shows with the dead people um and like get get my Mage hand going so that I can have three hands going at once mhhm and just end up spending the time doing that and occasionally looking out over the field cuz it's it's still we're in the middle while we're at the side of a big plane right mhm yeah so I like I'm looking out enough to see if anything's coming but just kind of playing with the dead people all right uh you're now inside with [Music] sir strong Fredick strong what do youall want to do what do you want to talk about so you're looking for Craven we thought he was dead we were looking for some time and never heard knew what happened to him why he's a part of our order what does your order [Music] do my order where are the order of the Goblet that that doesn't explain that doesn't explain what you do do you just drink a lot we have locations in each City that that still doesn't say that's really let's say that let's just say let me talk before you interrupt me I'm trying to explain but if you want to interrupt me so go ahead will you take longes speech I'm trying to figure out how much I want to share to complete strangers all of it we just saved your life that saved you I mean we at least no Craven so listen none of us are friends of the black order tell us more so we can find out if we can help each other give us persuasion check right nine I have to follow the first rule of the black order do not talk about the black or I mean at the follow the first rule of order to go do not talk about order of the Goblet okay so let's just say that we are hir to do jobs for the good not for the bad we do not endorse slavery we may need to take down some corrupt people from time to time you know about that they're just a mercenary group all right you're talking an awful lot about them for not being allowed to you're also not there I just read the spell it says nothing about not being able to hear through it I just can't see through it no you can't hear through it at all either it doesn't say that I don't think you could it says nothing about hearing if you want it that way then then I will take back what I just said f can you hear us up to Julian what does it say a Jr uh cuz uh at 10 foot radius iMobile dorm of force Springs into existence around and above you and remains stationary for the duration the spell ends if you leave its area nine creatures of medium size or smaller you can fit inside the Dome with you the spell fails if its area includes a larger creature or more than nine creatures creatures and objects within the Dome when you cast the spell can move through it freely all other creatures and objects are barred from passing through it spells and other magical effects can't extend through the Dome or be cast through it the atmosphere inside the space is comfortable and dry regardless of the weather outside until the spell ends you can command the interior to become dimly lit or dark the Dome is opaque from the outside or of any color you choose but it is transparent from the inside so we can see out uh perfectly so and that is all it says guess it doesn't say anything about sound all right so I'll allow you to hear them but you cannot see them yeah no no absolutely I see a bubble you don't even see that unless he allows you to see the bubble you can't see into it no no no no I see see you see the bubble the bubble's Not Invisible it's an open you see like you'll see like some swirling Shadows like a dome of swirling Shadows how about that yeah which is not boosting my confidence in it at all um yeah I'll just call back yeah I can hear you Pro oh amazing amazing that's good that's good can you see how many fingers I'm holding up um uh five oh so close so close okay I think that your your spell is working like five out of four out of five you have some strange people with you okay back on topic so you need so Craven you believe Craven was dead and now you want to free him basically correct I was just going to go back to the order but you just told me Craven's alive what did Craven look like let's make sure we talking about the same Craven T white to red hair eyes completely black back about six' tall pale skin pale skin for sure pale skin yeah that's Craven he also has a sister but she's not nice I don't know anything about his sister I didn't know he had his sister RV was going to help us get out and we were going to help him get out but we got out without him because of circumstances changing because they died as a gold murder am gonna I am GNA make sure everyone gets out of there I know that kis is with me and and his Fame I don't know about the rest of them yeah what do you want me to do can you help us get Craven out can you help us free everybody else sounds like you guys had the plan so what do you want me to do our plan is to free people you're talking about a city I did not know existed so our plan is less of a plan and more of a goal oh it's a goal it's like aspirational yeah okay we don't know much we don't know much about the city either we do know it's extremely hard to escape the arena we have a lot to learn before Arena yeah there's a whole Coliseum down there they make us fight and yeah the bloody tened Arena they make us fight in there and Craven's the champion for them has been the last about year and a half that's a weird name for arena yeah the whole place is weird it's because there's a big thing with 10 eyes if you were being if we were told the truth and it's possible we weren't you were being taken to one of the families that makes money in part off of Bing in the arena and the spectacle it provides I believe I was taken for somebody to take form of my position to get close to my boss and this brings me back to the question I asked you earlier who took you did you not see the Harpy symbol oh you're blind I'm sorry uh did you any of any else see the harpy symbol we were aware of the group us yeah took you but is there anyone in particular that uh may have captured you that you know of did the people that were on this Carriage kidnap you yes or were they just transporting you they kidnapped you they're I don't know where they were taking me to what you just told me but I believe that someone can change their body I think they were going to take my position within the guild the order is it PO is it possible that the little girl was a changeling can changelings bite really hard because she could not she was not an orc so there is a possibility that somebody is masquerading as you right now for all I know not yet okay for all I know and when were you about two days ago and from where I did not decide that hold on I'll show you no I I did decide who he works for so um yel dvia and that I don't have the map up hold on that that Tiny Town near that weird AR us do you know I don't know give me a history check stop myy gaming oh well then I don't know I I know nothing B and I have traveled a fair bit can we can we roll you can roll a history check thank you I was like have I ever heard of it read about it 18 18 mhm nine I got a total of zero f in Providence you travel but just nowhere near there uh you see the name of this town was again yel dvia yel dvia uh if anybody watched the uh charity stream this is where it took place I was like I'm very aware you are very aware but it's your character very is not is it anywhere near thinking from ares's studies is what I'm trying to think of yeah you probably read about so arnest you've probably read about it like more like it's almost kind of like a folk tail now that uh with an 18 I'm trying to figure out how much you would know uh you you probably read that years and years ago cuz this was like 500 years ago so story would have muffled and changed that uh something stem 500 years ago to make the forest cursed north of it and it stemed from y dvia but arus would know yel dvia south of the Cur the cursed Forest of w woodhurst sorry something was happening um I I'll explain that how do you explain it in your Elven tongue in my El in Elvin what do you mean in Elvin I'm just saying how would you explain it to the party okay yeah um but yeah we do want to hear it an Elish so we're expecting a lot of it and you are older so you probably would have studied a little bit more you just call her old yeah damn okay um I read it in my study I do south of the forest that first somehow it's a Tiny Town like near like non-existent almost but it's been around for a long time longer than me what what part of the world is it in um it's the sorry I don't know how you did it so I think it's the so is uh the Y dvia is uh H is a town that is south of the curse Forest of woodhurst what continent is it on Lin Lin other side of the mountains to the west but that's where my boss was but I've never met him or seen him can we meet him how do you I've have never met him so how would you meet them how do you fight the black order from so far away we have locations in every our presences in every city if you know where to look everything how where where do you look do you wish to join us do you have a place in Southold is that one of my cities yes yes what about kirkwall yes massar too the only city I have ever been to is Elin continent no City so I just asked every city and Lin there you go that's more accurate okay like some Elves on your team to help you expand so just for clarification I was ask we get the treaty to be lifted but just for clarification I was asking about cities in in the Crystal and North oh you are treat treed what do you mean there is a how should I say this the Elven Empire and ostan Empire is not on good tones where have y'all been you'all been living on a rock for a few years for two years technically yeah she has um yeah you're the Elvin people they've like shut themselves up that's why I thought you were a princess [Music] now she she has she has brown hair the princess has blonde hair God damn [Laughter] it okay other people with eyes you see I want is look CH and go oh yeah the princess has been missing for a few years now BR we we we acknowledge like we made sure that we know that you're not the elf princess right me yeah I'm definitely not I am definitely not an elf princess I'm blonde sorry I mean that'd be cool I don't have the ears for it the Elvin the Elvin people are threatening War but nobody has seen or heard where the princess went so maybe the black order took them I don't know back to the mysterious order of the gobl you guys work for good unless you're willing to join us I can't reveal much more than what we do but yes are you good or evil can Isam inight kis to see if he's really this reductive even was sir I am sir whatever you roll yes I love Kaya so much sure fed Shon says I Am The Honorable that is my title we do honorable things for the communities we take down bad people there is we keep us discreet in the locations now if you wish to join us cuz you particularly have skills that could be useful for us if you want to join us you can learn a lot more our oress is going to say yes immediately okay hold on group puddle Mr M Mr honorable I can't see if he's looking in my direction yes I imagine it being like made out of force you're probably like yelling at the top of your lungs in order to be heard through it too oh sure uncomfortably depending on how clearly I hear you guys yeah if I don't hear you clearly I'm yelling um do do you get paid to do the the things because if it's a paid who do we lose k k that's rough but he's like the goodest of all of us does any have a cam they can throw in not this time though uh I can hold on I don't have L don't have his artwork preloaded is I am currently un employee what did you ask I asked if if if the work is for pay oh he's back he's back sweet sorry I kicked something happens we have our own currency within the order H can we can can you stand I I know this is going to be weird can you stand over there and we're going to stand over here and have a really Qui talk F can you come to the edge of the uh Sam is that your name yes I'm pretty familiar with the spell that you've done I can freely leave and come back in right yes you can okay I'll go out with the the little green one and he WS out you okay if I make decisions for us yes okay I'm just going to cross my arms and and blare at him for calling me little he just go cross his arms and lean up against oh no he will fall through it it doesn't work that way [ __ ] he can try he's just like Bane's leaning against it and then he tries to do the same thing and like actually I'm going to walk over here yeah and he walks over and where the you through the body is at he's going to grab a great sword and so he's coming up close to where I've been playing with the dead bodies perfect that works no the dead bodies are in the cart and you been by the Dome I I sure I went back to the Dome I thought the bodies were going to be closer to the Dome that's fine no we set them okay I imagine you want them far away cuz once they start smelling wo all good so it's an organization I'm assuming for good he never set out right uh he kind of did twice he did but people say things all the time he said he was honorable and they did things for the community so they did good things for the good he never said he wasn't evil I'm just saying I can use context clues I mean I've never said they obviously have resources do you think they can help us do you think they can help us get get Craven out and and save all these people I think yes especially since we know that they've been looking for Craven I'm not one to like use leverage but that is information that we have he um I don't think you've ever met Craven but he kind of a dick he is um a little bit crazy but um he has answ at any at any point Jan what when I was working in the arena would I have met him at any point or no cuz he never really needed healing oh he's that good but you know of him but you've never to treat him like I so you can see that I can do like this likey light stuff and I've seen you can you can do it too apparently we should talk about that um but Craven can too and he was much stronger than me I need answers unless you can give me answers I also need answers out of Craven but but also there's all the all the people they don't deserve to be trapped down there either even if some of them are dicks like Elanor but I like her so isn't she dead no she just was a coward um okay back on topic so are we joining or not I vote Yes I'm in for all the way uh F and I are a yes glitch John can you stick with me on this one or no if I could say something really quick before you jump to voting mhm all we know is that they say they're good and they may very well believe that this is a little Hasty I mean I won't dissuade you from joining if you want to but I would absolutely never join an organization maybe in a loose Alliance to learn more but based upon this little it's it's a really big leap of faith it's what life is and didn't you say we need help again like you see like you s just kind of blink like like it probably doesn't take much insight to know that he's like holding his tongue really hard right now as soon as Kayla says that like he like swallows something yeah having inres could be advantageous of course but I just I'd urge caution I'm not saying it's the wrong decision I'm just saying knowing more is always better than knowing less but he won't give us more I was like yeah this is a catch 22 we want to know more but we can't know more unless we join but we don't want to join because we want to know more they need us because we know more about Craven he didn't even know he was missing we hold more cards than you might think CIS I know I I I mentioned that and I said am not happy about using leverage but we do have leverage we don't have to join Craven and ask them about black these guys that means going back in there under prepared without backup yep I mean many people as possible it's not like we're trying to it's not like we're trying to go break Craven out immediately we still have the the um the viners I'm just going to come out and say the obvious I we can't go back to the living sters unless we go to kill them we're going to bring them an empty carrot cart an empty carrot in it and we've killed their guards they don't know that we've killed their guards their guards I don't think I can stand up to scrutiny and lie about that I going to be very honest about this right now you can wa out did you see it I guess I can tell them I didn't see anything my and we they understand my methods are morally questionable and I'm I'm supposed to be the head of this all plan so we'll be we'll be probably fine listen the order of the Goblet sounds like a relatively or old organization if they haven't shut down the black order the one two three four five six is it seven of us I can't count the seven of us are not going to do it in one day and without as many allies as we need as we can get we don't know what the living sters game is we don't know know what the web Wells game is we don't know who can be allies and who can't be allies we don't know almost anything about the Goblet the order of the goblin we're not going to rush in and save like John Pierre said we're not going to rush in and save uh Craven by just an straight on attack that would be suicide oh yeah and I'm not saying we say yes to this guy and then turn around and immediately go I'm assuming that there's some kind of induction that would have to happen I speaking from somebody who knows ceremony there's generally something like that that goes along with joining something as secretive as what this guy says his order a I'm I'm not trying to dissuade you I'm just saying that I won't what is our other option where are we where can we go for help this might be our but also also major question where are we that's East Haven over there [Music] that hand there's half of it we're close is to East [Music] Haven but F your friends seem to talk a lot yeah they do is just reaching into her pocket throwing a rock as far into the field if she can and then reaching into her pocket again and just doing that over and over it's a nice nice trick you have there m what are your abilities um I I can bite stuff really good and I can blast stuff and I have cool cards and and I used to have don't talk about us don't talk about us but they're just normal playing cards interesting should like to play a game where we wait no oh okay and go back to to other people sorry I like to role play too um Providence is just kind of like standing there sticking her sword in the ground and picking up scking the sword in the ground I was like our options right now are go along with this guy go back to the living stairs and try and figure our way out of whatever the situation is and work from the inside by ourselves or figure out where we are and find the closest town we don't all have to go back to the living stairs either we could close out our contract with them in some way we don't have a contract we are their property slaves it was my understanding that he was planning on transitioning into a partnership with you if we bring him but if I don't want that kind of they didn't know what was in the cart at least that's what they said are you going to honestly just believe them they did seem fairly new to this whole crime I mean I guess that's true but we also didn't know it was in the card either to be fair so he pulls out his like Dragon chest set while you guys are talking is kind of like playing with himself at the same time and he says the ideal scenario would not to have to be as to have as minimum speak English I can't uh the ideal scenario would to be to have as few enemies as possible and as the maximum amount of allies this isn't an either or scenario only Ally I can think of of is the only is Craven in that whole thing we don't know if Elanor is alive and that's okay maybe rogr because of Fame but that's it that's two with the order we might get more I know it doesn't seem ideal to jump from one to another Asam especially being in this city for so long but it's a sliver of Hope I'm saying you can have both without committing yourself to either you can still part of free that that's fine explain to me how that's what being free is I mean if we if we if we leave now we if we leave now we cut ourselves off from the living sters pretty much in forever I don't think they're going to trust us after this point you know leaving them high and dry yeah high and dry I mean they don't know they don't know this guy exists pretty much or to my knowledge so if we let him free we have a connection with him into that order whatever so we work from the inside he works from the outside we can figure something out or we can just leave that's always an option there's no one here is dobing US which [Music] I don't know what to do I don't want to go back none of us want to go backed by a city that's Kayla's big thing right now is he does not want to go back underground um I was talking them into getting me a boat so I'm kind of leaning towards them but you know what if what what if jeanpierre and I deliver the card and negotiate with them or attempt to split the party up more we've already lost someone splitting up is only going to be a death sentence for us we're stronger [Music] together that's true we all go or we don't as much as I don't want to go back down Underground I will if it's for the greater good there are things happening and I don't know how fast they're happening here's another thing if the black order thinks that the living stars are behind this assault well that might make them a natural Ally as well whether we like them or not but these are just options I don't mind going with you to the order of the goblets but I'm going to remain on the outside of the organization itself how close to night time is it it was already night when y yeah it was that when we started fighting yeah it oh that's right yeah it's it's late yeah it's getting late okay at least we should send the card back to incriminate the living stores as much as possible oh 100% of the car is going back well that was their whole plan in the first place they wanted everyone to know yeah the the living sers want people to know it was that and they didn't really care what we did with the c with what was over in the cart no no they wanted wanted the cart and everything that was in it so we could give them the painting I want the painting those are mine John we have to give him something we can't give him the dude so we have to give him at least the paintings they get the cart I get the paintings oh a could we use one of the bodies say they were Shing this person and they died and they accidentally got dead write a message in blood I like it I like where this is going make sure it's the gooey one is that not where this is going dang it tough crowd all right just make sure it's the gooey one so they can't recognize them yeah well at least the not well Butrin wellin quiet the W Wells no the web Wells the web Wells well take this thing back then seems to be the smart idea just till that guy will work from the inside this isn't an either or kis if we really are on a longer leash with the living stairs or if we're moving into a partnership we don't have to stay with them or you don't go I'm confused you don't have to stay with them at all you're like hold like above table isn't Kay free anyway no not anymore he took Manny I'm not I took Manny spot did did you take his spot like as in a job or did you take his spot like as I took his spot as in I incurred his debt to the living to the living I killed him so that you would be free you dick what is wrong with you it's called a sense of Duty to be clear that's all his doing not mine it's the only thing I have left of Manny his death his death I mean that that actually is classic Manny that panss out yeah that's on brand for sure yeah um I mean if you're the commodity maybe you don't have to physically go back all of us I don't know I mean I am fine with going back I just need to know that we have allies Ally or a at least the workings of a plan and action for what we're going to do if we're going to use the living sters to get on their good side and use them to take down an organization or have them Supply us with allies or whatever we need but also I feel like they're the kind of people that will only do this thing if it puts them in [Music] power they are corrupt Nobles that is kind of how they work I thought that was you know what I don't like the idea of helping them they they are not good they are keeping the more that we help them we are colluding with them we are enslaving other people I I morally cannot stand by [Music] that if we were working for an outside organization from the inside that's a different story you know what I think a lot of us don't want to go back in there what if this is a this is this is a weird plan I'll admit what if e and I go back in there like bring the cart to the web Wells with like you know the little uh notes on them no like like to send be like the living s were here you know what I'm saying we don't actually talk to them we just leave it in front in their front door and then we get out of there I have my I have my ways with my magic now so we're uh didn't the living sters want the C delivered to them I suppose I'm just like no I'm just asking for clarification above table not in character they did they did they did yeah so you're I just figure it's like we're not going back to the the living s if he leaves or we could leave a note in the carriage and I could animate a zombie and have the zombie like Drive the carriage back to uh the living stairs that's a thing thing you can do yes I think so right I can animate a zombie and I imagine I can instruct the zombie to like go to the living stairs 24 hours I lose control of it and it starts killing people but what is it anime dead what which one is it anime dead oh that's I didn't know you could do that that's pretty cool you know what I like that idea that's a good [Music] one I mean once given an order the creature continues to follow it until the task is complete I don't see dead on your it's a third level necromancy cleric spell he would have to like Undead servants uh choose a pile of bones or corpse we've got plenty of those uh within range your spell Imus the tar with the foul mimicry of life raising it as an UND creature I don't oh you must not have it prepared no I would have to prepare it for okay I was looking at your current spell list I was like I don't see it slot so I would have to it it would have to be in the morning it have to be tomorrow yeah do we just at this point take a long rest I think we should figure out what we're going to do before we take our rest though that's correct I'm down for the zombie idea that at least gets the carriage down there i' like to see the zombie well I mean we'll see it as it goes away I'm for this point B will be too all right and then they never said come back I mean I guess they didn't they just they never said for us uh they definitely said if you do this we can work something else out that insinuated you coming back it was it was assumed not difference we didn't see it wasn't written cont could leave we could leave a note that says we The Carriage was empty except for this body uh we look forward to Future collaboration I'm good with that that's fine yeps and then we follow the honorable man at least to civilization yep the start and we can make a decision on if we're going to use the order or not on the way are you okay with that jeanpierre I mean that you're not going to get your pirate ship yeah I think on the outside there are many more ships I guess it would Tech be their ship not mine so I'm I'll we'll find another ship and take it through questionable means and it'll be fun it'll be fun freedom and if you think the two of us should go back live I'm I'm totally okay with that plan too oh I mean I'm fine with leaving I I I didn't like him anyway but they just they just seemed like they they wanted business and didn't know how to do it it so I feel like visibly having the carage go back to the living stars is definitely in our best interests yes I like your zombie idea we just have to defend the the whole animating dead thing is but it gets the job done and Necker rancy isn't inherently evil right healing is necromancy Tada Kay let's think of it this way one person dies and then you're bringing back a new life it's like the net number of lives is basically zero I haven't seen too much me I don't think that's how that works I haven't seen also I don't think there's really anything in my ten against it actually I was wrong uh healing is evocation so I screwed that up I thought it was necromancy out this time oh I haven't seen too much of this necromancy stuff drain life and vampir touches and stuff like that there you go um I think uh revivify might actually be an NE you're literally bringing somebody B from Death necromancy yeah yeah necromancy speaking of which me and Aus need gems ASAP well civilization will help with that all right what are you guys doing have you all made a decision yes yes supp we do you calling them back in yes I will let f is is that your name yeah you're mighty beautiful forign orc you don't have tusk or anything how' that happen um I also used to have a really cool Scar and then a dragon killed us and then we got better and now we're immune to death um but the cost immune to death so so yeah how did that one happen because we got better and now we have all of the cool immune system stuff to be immune to it can I get this ability um if you want I can kill you and then we can send you to the people who bring people back thank you for I don't think that what's the thing the process it's true none of us have even died since then but like we haven't even like all in unconscious in fight since then and we used like some of the people in our group used to do that every single fight we're just immune now again I don't think that's out that was it absolutely is is anybody gonna call him because he's gonna continue talking yeah yeah I'll call over to it's like you uh whatever your name is I forgot it already get over here I'm gonna kind of jog back and be like I told Mr honorable that we're joining him oh that's that's conven actually yep Splendid yes yes so order gr have people such as your talents I'm confused is he over back with us now yeah he walked in okay thank God okay yeah hea Splendid I'm glad to hear that you guys are going to join uh him before before you continue let us elaborate on our plan um we are just said that you guys were joining us yes we have we have more a little bit before that but like you were this so first you're like 80% there 80% they're like 90% there we need like eight hours of sleep and then usually when they talk for a long time it's because they're going to go with the plan yes and I'm the one who says the plan hello um so we're gonna sleep sleep Mr cold whatever make the plan execute the plan throw away the plan but anyway after a good night's rest uh our friend isim here uh is going to animate one of the zombies and send back send the cart back with it um or it's going to drive the cart uh and send it back to there this is this is like a a whole complicated thing that is uh is more of like an inside joke to you than anything uh it doesn't really but we're going to leave in the morning that's the idea and we're going to leave a note for one of the corrupt noble families inside of that mountain I don't give a [ __ ] what to do with the noble families I'm going to go save Craven with without your help that's fair honestly I figured I'd tell you first before we get this whole stick on the road anyway we will be joining you um after that in like joining you on the road or joining him on the road on the road on the roght Godzilla how is say kblo yeah yeah all right as you settle in for your long rest we need to figure out how to get this C in the most defensible position possible uh and like where like if we're just like right at the scene of the crime well you I thought you moved it to the B side of the thing where it's not easily accessible unless somebody taking the road to go up yeah let's cover the tracks as well uh if that's keep in mind if you leave the Dome it goes away yeah I I it's already I can be casted because when oh you can okay yeah so it's is a ritual spell I just say it's 10 minutes I can also do my Dome and my Dome is invisible yeah so let's like cover our tracks as much as possible first and then cuz it's getting pretty late right now so I don't know how much more you want to do like we don't want to like we don't want to be like okay here are these Wagon Wheels leading right to where we're hiding you know so it is a bright sky so there's no clouds I was trying to see if it's going to be raining or not but it's not so I don't know does anybody have pass Without a Trace or anything uh no our winess might but she stepped away from I can cast this guy's self again I can I prepare was that we can't prepare long enough for me to have had a short rest F what's your passive perception not High um 11 I can cast flaming sphere and just burn it all oh two natural 19s that's a ball of Fire Fame yep as you're standing outside of this Dome as they're having this conversation so I rolled this a while ago MH

where we're in tonight's episode W fun but did I get a short rest in that time more for the spell slots than the hit points no because they were having a conversation uh but it didn't take an hour to have that conversation there were like two conversations that happened it's fine great condition for another fight guys I'm ready to go I'm ready guys we're we're immune to death except for like bre

tek73kf58iM | https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tek73kf58iM | Beatrice Adler-Bolton: SPK; Health Communism; Life & Death Under Capitalism | yeah the the final point and I really want to get to this because um it's been a great deal of time talking about there were several movements two of them particular there's act up um and there's some really interesting and important lessons that come from that movement um and also spk which I don't know I I really want people just to read it because it's so well like as you describe in the book it's like this is the most comprehensive thing written about this group this um movement I mean it was mind-blowing I didn't know anything about spk I think I've seen you mention it before occasionally just maybe on death panel or the social media or writings or something but like to get a comprehensive rundown of like what this group was what their aims were and what happened to them it was like holy like that was you know there's a lot there so I don't want to necessarily like take away from people wanting to read about it because it's so well written and detailed in the book but um I think maybe to frame it within the sort of maybe a lesson that I learned from that is that as you pose in the book is that this health communist um movement towards Health communism has to be International and that existing within the context like we're both in the United States the health capitalist model that is often I mean it's very much situated within the us and it emanates outside of it so it's a part of the Empire it's part of colonialism it imposes itself on other nations that have their own you know Healthcare Systems welfare systems um and you know part of the Dynamics of capitalism of global capitalism and the U.S imperialism is to impose these Dynamics these you know Health capitalist Dynamics on these populations through a variety of means right um so I think what happens is like we do often think in the Frameworks of Nations like oh man Cuba's got it good right or or you know even like you know the national uh NHS in England in the UK is awesome right like scandinavia's got a awesome Healthcare System why couldn't we have that or Canada Canada is great too like we do this thing we're constantly comparing like why can't we have that why can't we have that and as you demonstrated the book it's like Health capitalism is everywhere Mo you know I mean there might be some holdouts to some degree but nonetheless it it bleeds into every country so capitalism is international but a sort of true Health communist movement has to be internationalist and I think what's important is like maybe a responsibility that activists uh people in the U.S have is to understand that if it transforms here it would not necessarily automatically emanate outward to every other country but because the US is so Central to imposing this kind of form of Health regime or whatever on other countries Healthcare regimes it would have an effect it would have an internationalist effect that's kind of what I at least I interpreted from Reading Health communism um so in framing this discussion around these movements like act up and spk I think what happened is again different lessons were drawn from each of these but I think with spk it felt like it was incredibly it was isolated within West Germany in a sense like it became an international issue because they were framed as terrorists ultimately yes but they're lessons that we can learn from that are applicable anywhere in the world I mean so I'm sorry this is a bit of a broad huge kind of like a meta question but like having an internationalist movement of Health communist movement um and maybe learning something about like these like like uh act up or spk like if we could talk about that um yeah sorry there's a lot of thought there to kind of work no no I'm so glad you asked about this I've been like waiting for someone to ask about sbk or act up but um a lot of the discussion is obviously focused on kind of like the first third of the book and this is the back third of the book so I get it you know um and I have a tendency to be long-winded so that's also my bad but no no you're good we we have two chapters about svk which is the Socialist patients Collective out of Heidelberg Germany they're a group that formed in the 1970s um they were very inspired by sort of existentialism and the anti-psychiatry Boom meant but also a bunch of simultaneous movements that were going on globally at the time within institutions um like asylums or like large-scale State hospitals because it's important to remember you know from our perspective now I was born in 1990 the year the Americans with Disabilities Act was passed um you know I I never have lived in an era of mass institutionalization so to speak but Mass institutionalization um was the default model of care for anyone that needed a little extra care for a very very long time I mean it's it's uh really a kind of classic economy of scale argument and so for a long time people who were chronically ill disabled mad mentally ill whatever um oftentimes you found yourself living in one of these large institutions for a long period of time and what starts happening in the 1950s is that a lot of the the sort of conditions are getting more and more austere and there is a move away from this warehousing model of care that's largely led by professionals who are questioning the kind of car severality of their own authority and that's very important but what's equally important is the patient movements who are happening on the inside because while there was a sort of Revolt of professionals that led to de-institutionalization there was also a Revolt of patience inside who were organizing themselves and spk is one of um probably maybe one of the better known incidences of this even though the story of what happened to spk that most people know is wrong and so we tell a very different story of sbk in our book if you read about sbk or you watch the spk documentary that's been made you will hear that spk was a group of mental patients who organized and then became involved with the Red Army faction who was a you know it's the butter meinhoff gang um so they were sort of lumped together in the press and um ultimately uh though we take them for their word and say that there wasn't actually involvement between the two groups Beyond them having some brief contact the way that they've been framed historically was that spk was the recruitment arm of the RAF and that the Aria it was the crazy Brigade where all the you know once all of the sort of members of RAF that were competent were killed by the state that they turned to spk to kind of recruit anyone and looking back on things oh sorry RAF was like I don't know what to call them that they were like they were bombing people right like there was like things going on I don't know if bombings are correct word but like they were there was like bank robberies and things like that going on am I am I Incorrect and you there were definitely things that um there are definitely things that like uh the RAF did that were more similar to like the um whether underground in the United States okay um yeah I just wanted to just so people know like what kind of an idea of like what they were being associated with that's that's all that's why I just wanted to clarify that I would say like RAF has kind of sort of as not just like a very important terrorist movement because they were leftists but also because they were coming from within West Germany at a time where this was a project of proving that capitalism could win over communism right and so they were a militant uh the RAF was a militant um left movement at a time where Germany was Reckoning with the failure of its denotsification um you know there was a big program led by the United States where the U.S military said we're going to go through Germany we're going to find all the Nazis we're gonna put them all in trial we're going to make sure that they're pulled out of positions of power but the problem was is that there were too many Nazis once they went through to try and do that and so they left a bunch of Nazi doctors in particular installed within hospitals they left a lot of people within universities and in these positions and the Nazi kind of ideology about their being types of people that you know then this was inspired by the U.S and Eugenics movement who were biologically inferior was um still pervasive and common even after this process of denosification that happened where the U.S said we got rid of them all everybody in Germany now is totally nice and fine and it's all good to go right and so there's um this kind of History right where you you could say that okay well at this moment you have these like radical left movements who are challenging the state who are calling everybody Nazis and isn't that so ridiculous and they bombed things but like also they were right the people that they were calling out were people who were involved in the Nazi regime who still held that ideology and taught it in universities and what spk did is they um they self-organized they were doing some of their own therapy within the unit that they were in which was a low income Mental Health Care Clinic that basically was a way of diverting the like lower income patients into the old institutional warehousing models and higher income patients got you know more compassionate one-on-one care in a nicer Hospital facility and so one of the doctors Dr Wolfgang Huber who was working in this low-income Clinic he started working with his patients who were politically inclined who are inspired by definitely inspired by people like the RAF who were organizing and not just them but you know whether underground and all these other groups who you know were incorporating left politics and Praxis with you know some really aggressive critique of the capitalist State and for you know I think the reasons of uh inspiration uh being in common but also because we tend to think that people who are mentally ill are dangerous it was very quickly collapsed into one thing and spk and RAF became kind of mush together and a lot of the ways that it's talked about um in again like 99.9 of the accounts that we'll mention spk will mention that they were this recruitment arm of the RAF and the members of spk at the time said no we talked to them but like you are connecting us to the RAF because there is a law that basically allows you in Germany at this time to like arrest people and hold them without cause if you're if they're under suspicion of terrorism sure and spk's organizing was a huge challenge to one of the largest academic institutions in Germany the University of Heidelberg which was a foundation of the biopsychiatry movement this is where Dr Emil crapland like this is pre-World War one you know he's like putting together the difference between dementia precox and and manic depression and he's putting together some of these original diagnostic categories of who has quote unquote schizophrenia who is depressed and that was kind of the original um biopsychiatric pathology distinction was like kind of like determining between those two things and so in a lot of ways he's the grandfather of the DSM the diagnostic statistical manual and so the organizing that sbk was doing was happening within this institution where they had a long and storied history of psychiatric Innovation and being a well-respected institution and the patients were saying well they're divvying us up by income they're treating us like we're disposable and also the university is still full of Nazis and there has been very little that has changed between the kind of old care and the new care and for that the University was not super happy and so spk was a group that actually formed as a result of the Crackdown that happened they had their therapy taken away they had their medications ended you know like stopped without consultation with their doctor they were denied access to the kind of organizing that they were doing within the hospital and so they revolted and they occupied the hospital offices and it this began on a kind of two year long very public discussion about you know what West Germany would tolerate in terms of political dissent and ultimately what spk was criminalized for was for their critique of capitalism and for their declaration that their care was not to make them better but to make them better workers um and a lot of what they were being institutionalized for because of the time was for things like being gay or being like an art student or you know kinds of things that I guess would fall under the umbrella of like what a you know social conservative would call like anti-social Behavior listening to like rock music you know these are the kinds of things where it's like and we go through some of these statements that have been made about the doctor where they're like other doctors are like yeah Huber I don't trust him because he's got like a Trotsky beard and he wears a leather jacket and he lets his patients call him by his first name so he should be fired and we should lock all these people up and so it was really this kind of moment where you had patient organizing and there's a lot of history of of harsh Crackdown on patient organizing but patient organizing mixed with a critique of capitalism in the manner that they did it essentially resulted in extremely aggressive State Crackdown of spk um they were criminalized they were labeled as terrorists um they were put on trial many of them were arrested chased down for decades by the FBI even though the West German government was like please we don't don't extradite them we don't want them back here like even in the late 80s the FBI was like oh we might have found someone who was a part of spk once can we send them back to you so you can put them in jail and by the time even West Germany had given up on chasing these people the U.S was still like we gotta get them we gotta make sure they don't get in our borders I mean there are statements made on the floor of Congress referencing spk but if you go and try and study disability studies and patient movements you're never going to hear about spk because they're terrorists generally you know because they were criminalized and essentially the reason why they were actually criminalized is because they dared to say that they wanted to study themselves and treat themselves and they didn't want to be subject to psychiatric Authority in a hospital run by Nazis who thought that they were all worthless disposable forms of life yeah and um it was a brutal moment of State repression um I mean the people who were arrested who were members of sbk were held in conditions that were designed to try and psychologically break them like no white uh 24 hours a day and then all lights 24 hours a day playing like American pop music like the kinds of things that you hear about like as you know things that were used uh by the US government to torture people during uh the Iraq and Afghanistan Wars or like in Guantanamo you know these kinds of like psychological torture techniques they drugged people when they had the child themselves they brought the doctor in um Dr Huber and his wife and one other defendant drugged and chained to um gurneys you know so it was one of those things where it was a kind of brutal moment of State repression that when we look back at this movement um we look back at them as a cautionary tale of criminalization or people that maybe went a little too far or terrorism and and very few people actually take spk of their own word and look at some of the accounts of these accusations of terrorism and where they come from and so that's really what we do in these last two chapters is we give the history that led to spk we give the history of the Heidelberg hospital and we talk about some of their ideas and their movement and we talk about why they were criminalized and how that criminalization went on to have this life within like anti-terrorism Academia where the situation the Crackdown on spk has been used to pathologize all left movements as being uncapable of being Satisfied by demands or crazy or whatever and so we try and use it as a moment both to look towards their ideology from a positive sense because I think their critiques were incredibly Salient and for myself as someone who when I became disabled like they were a major source of inspiration for me to understand my own identity and the reasons why Society was treating me like the way that it was you know it goes Way Beyond ableism into these deep seated Frameworks of who is valuable and who is not under capitalism like we cannot separate ableism or sainism from capitalist economic valuation of life and that's really what spk argued that if all of our care is oriented towards making us better more docile workers can we really call it therapeutic yeah is it really helpful and don't we deserve care that's you know to make us feel better not just to make us you know more docile more accepting of authority more willing to put up with you know maybe conditions in the workplace you know in the context of covid and so one of the things I really wanted to show people you know uh and why Artie and I wanted to spend so much time on spk is that I think that the story of spk can teach us so much about our covid organizing both in the way that our demands can be pathologized in the ways that left movements are criminalized in the ways that left thought is sort of discounted but also in their critique of what our care is for why are carers in the forms that it is in you know why is it so important in the United States that are are the left movements debated whether or not there was room for private insurance in Medicare for all for eight years basically this was a huge debate there are lots of leftists who do not agree with me when I say that there is no room for private insurance in our society right like that's a controversial thing to say perhaps more controversial than the Declaration of Health communism ironically you know but these things we have to understand if we're ever going to move beyond the kind of organizing that we've done and so much of this kind of thought that has interrogated capitalism from the lens of exactly who and why you know who who are cares for and why it's only for certain people and not for others it's so important for covet organizing for building a left movement that can push Beyond these kinds of Frameworks and also I think it's important to understand these kinds of parallel histories of criminalization because I don't think the criminalization of RAF or spk would have happened without the criminalization of the Black Panther Party and the young Lords in the United States right and the same way that us saying like oh you know Canada if we could only have Canadian Medicare if we could only have the NHS these are zero-sum Frameworks that pretend that like if we you know win reforms in the U.S that it doesn't affect the political will and the scope of reforms elsewhere I'm not saying that the U.S needs to do some sort of Health Care model and then that's right and good and then distribute it to the rest of the world that's the exact opposite of what I'm saying um what I'm saying is that we need to look to our comrades in other countries who are engaged in similar fights because we are all living under Health capitalism and we are all living under covet no matter what borders you are living under and where you are a citizen or a taxpayer like we are all affected by this and so we have to be thinking of things as not just as the effects of things not just ending at our borders but impacting the range and scope of policy that other people and other organizing capacities are going to be able to work with so if we're not making these kinds of international connections you know and sbk has so many of these International connections early on when they got started and as they were criminalized it really scared people and all those professionals who were rebelling they disappeared you know and and they did not show up and you know for the most part the vast majority of the people who had been inspiring them corresponding with them encouraging them when spk was criminalized they were not there to support them and we do talk a little bit about the people that that showed up and how there were delegations that were sent you know from the Italian meta Psychiatry movement and de los and gatari you know even though dillas would not leave France at that point he travels to Germany with Qatari to support them all of those people are thrown out of the court trial and beaten up by the police and half of them are arrested and so it's it's one of these moments where you could imagine like okay well what did hap what would have maybe happened I know this is like a counter factual and it's not productive to engage in counter factuals but what would have happened if instead of just basically three people like Franco basaglia and the people he worked with in in Italy and then the French delegation what if instead you had broad support all the people who've been corresponding with spk and encouraging them early on if you had had Artie Lange and David Cooper and Thomas saz and all of the Americans that were involved in all of that work as well like Aaron easterling you know all these people who could have who could have followed through on their solidarity and support and they were too afraid they were too afraid of the association they were too afraid of being criminalized themselves and to losing Atari at this point they had already had the police come in and raid their own homes um you know this is this is I think it's really interesting that the people that did stand in solidarity with spk were people who had also experienced repression and criminalization in their own countries right um you know basaglia did as well and the Italian meta Psychiatry movement is really interesting if you want to read more about it highly recommend John foote's work he's awesome and he's done so much work on on that but you know it's it's important for us to think beyond our borders and boundaries because there's nothing that we can accomplish alone all good things are done together and all good things are done in resistance to the kinds of forces that are much bigger in scale than the kinds of forces that we think of as being contained within one nation's sort of fight for Liberation these are things that can't be separated from each other in the same way that you can't separate out like the U.S branch of uh Pfizer and the European branch of Pfizer right like what happens in one relates to the other and we can't put things out in the world without them affecting other movements and fights foreign [Music] | Last Born in the Wilderness Podcast |

retired from mr melmoth's house in disgust as soon as she was able to escape but we must return to it for a short time when the guests were once in the drawing room the immediate sense of failure passed away the crowd never became so thick as had been anticipated they who were knowing in such matters had declared that the people would not be able to get themselves out of the room till three or four o'clock in the morning and that the carriages would not get themselves out of the square till breakfast time with a view to this kind of thing mr melmod had been told that he must provide a private means of escape for his illustrious guests and with a considerable sacrifice of walls and general house arrangements this had been done no such gathering as was expected took place but still the rooms became fairly full and mr melmot was able to console himself with the feeling that nothing certainly fatal had as yet occurred there can be no doubt that the greater part of the people assembled did believe that their host had committed some great fraud which might probably bring him under the arm of the law when such rumors are spread abroad they are always believed there is an excitement and a pleasure in believing them reasonable hesitation at such a moment is dull and phlegmatic if the accused one be near enough to ourselves to make the accusation a matter of personal pain of course we disbelieve but if the distance be beyond this we are almost ready to think that anything may be true of anybody in this case nobody really loved melmoth and everybody did believe it was so probable that such a man should have done something horrible it was only hoped that the fraud might be great and horrible enough melmot himself during that part of the evening which was passed upstairs kept himself in the close vicinity of royalty he behaved certainly very much better than he would have done had he had no weight at his heart he made few attempts at beginning any conversation and answered at any rate with brevity when he was addressed with scrupulous care he ticked off on his memory the names of those who had come and whom he knew thinking that their presence indicated a verdict of acquittal from them on the evidence already before them seeing the members of the government all there he wished that he had come forward in westminster as a liberal and he freely forgave those omissions of royalty as to which he had been so angry at the india office seeing that not a prince or princess was lacking of those who were expected he could turn his mind to all this although he knew how great was his danger many things occurred to him as he stood striving to smile as a host should smile it might be the case that half a dozen detectives were already stationed in his own hall perhaps one or two well dressed in the very presence of royalty ready to arrest him as soon as the guests were gone watching him now lest he should escape but he bore the burden and smiled he had always lived with a consciousness that such a burden was on him and might crush him at any time he had known that he had to run these risks he had told himself a thousand times that when the dangers came dangers alone should never cow him he had always endeavored to go as near the wind as he could to avoid the heavy hand of the criminal law of whatever country he inhabited he had studied the criminal laws so that he might be sure in his reckonings but he had always felt that he might be carried by circumstances into deeper waters than he intended to enter as the soldier who leads a forlorn hope or is the diver who goes down for pearls or as a searcher for wealth on fever-breeding coasts knows that as his gains may be great so are his perils melamod had been aware that in his life as it opened itself out to him he might come to terrible destruction he had not always thought or even hoped that he would be as he was now so exalted as to be allowed to entertain the very biggest ones of the earth but the greatness had grown upon him and so had the danger he could not now be as exact as he had been he was prepared himself to bear all mere ignominy with a tranquil mind to disregard any shouts of reprobation which might be uttered and to console himself when the bad quarter of an hour should come with the remembrance that he had garnered up a store sufficient for future wants and placed it beyond the reach of his enemies but as his intellect opened up to him new schemes and as his ambition got the better of his prudence he gradually fell from this security which he had preconceived and became aware that he might have to bear worse than ignominy perhaps never in his life had he studied his own character and his own conduct more accurately or made sterner resolves than he did as he stood there smiling bowing and acting without impropriety the part of host to an emperor no he could not run away he soon made himself sure of that he had risen too high to be a successful fugitive even should he succeed in getting off before hands were laid upon him he must bide his ground if only that he might not at once confess his own guilt by flight and he would do so with courage looking back at the hour or two that had just passed he was aware that he had allowed himself not only to be frightened in the dinner room but also to seem to be frightened the thing had come upon him unawares and he had been untrue to himself he acknowledged that he should not have asked those questions of mr todd and mr bow clerk and should have been more good humored than usual with lord alfred in discussing those empty seats but for spilled milk there is no remedy the blow had come upon him too suddenly and he had faltered but he would not falter again nothing should cow him no touch from a policeman no warrant from a magistrate no defecation of friends no scorn in the city no solitude in the west end he would go down among the electors tomorrow and would stand his ground as though all with him were right men should know at any rate that he had a heart within his bosom and he confessed also to himself that he had sinned in that matter of arrogance he could see it now as so many of us do see the faults which we have committed which we strive but in vain to discontinue and which we never confess except to our own bosoms the task which he had imposed on himself and to which circumstances had added weight had been very hard to bear he should have been good humored to these great ones whose society he had gained he should have bound these people to him by a feeling of kindness as well as by his money he could see it all now and he could see too that there was no help for spilt milk i think he took some pride in his own confidence as to his own courage as he stood there turning it all over in his mind very much might be suspected something might be found out but the task of unraveling it all would not be easy it is the small vermin and the little birds that are trapped at once but wolves and vultures can fight hard before they are caught with the means which would still be at his command let the worst come to the worst he could make a strong fight when a man's frauds have been enormous there is a certain safety in their very diversity and proportions might it not be that the fact that these great ones of the earth had been his guests should speak in his favor a man who had in very truth had the real brother of the son dining at his table could hardly be sent into the dock and then sent out of it like a common felon madame melmot during the evening stood at the top of her own stairs with a chair behind her on which she could rest herself for a moment when any pause took place in the arrivals she had of course dined at the table or rather sat there but had been so placed that no duty had devolved upon her she had heard no word of the rumors and would probably be the last person in that house to hear them it never occurred to her to see whether the places down the table were full or empty she sat with her large eyes fixed on the majesty of china and must have wondered at her own destiny at finding herself with an emperor and princess to look at from the dining room she had gone when she was told to go up to the drawing room and had there performed her task longing only for the comfort of her bedroom she i think had but small sympathy with her husband in all his work and but little understanding of the position in which she had been placed money she liked and comfort and perhaps diamonds and fine dresses but she can hardly have taken pleasure in duchesses or have enjoyed the company of the emperor from the beginning of the melmoth era it had been an understood thing that no one spoke to madame melmot marie malmott had declined a seat at the dinner table this at first had been cause of quarrel between her and her father as he desired to have seen her next to young lord knitterdale as being acknowledged to be betrothed to him but since the journey to liverpool he had said nothing on the subject he still pressed the engagement but thought now that less publicity might be expedient she was however in the drawing room standing at first by madame melmat and afterwards retreating among the crowd to some ladies she was a person of interest as the young woman who had lately run away under such strange circumstances but no one spoke to her till she saw a girl whom she herself knew and whom she addressed plucking up all her courage for the occasion this was heta carberry who had been brought hither by her mother the tickets for lady carbery and hetta had of course been sent before the elopement and also as a matter of course no reference had been made to them by the melmot family after the elopement lady carvery herself was anxious that the affair should not be considered as having given cause for any personal quarrel between herself and mr melmot and in her difficulty had consulted mr brown mr brown was the staff on which she lent at present in all her difficulties mr brown was going to the dinner all this of course took place while melmat's name was as yet unsullied as snow mr brown saw no reason why lady carbury should not take advantage of her tickets these invitations were simply tickets to see the emperors surrounded by the princes the young lady's allotment is no affair of yours mr brown had said i should go if it were only for the sake of showing that you did not consider yourself to be implicated in the matter lady carbury did as she was advised and took her daughter with her nonsense said the mother when hada objected mr brown sees it quite in the right light this is a grand demonstration in honor of the emperor rather than a private party and we have done nothing to offend the melmods you know you wish to see the emperor a few minutes before they started from wildback street a note came from mr brown written in pencil and sent from melmoth's house by a commissioner don't mind what you hear but come i am here and as far as i can see it is all right the e is beautiful and peas are as thick as blackberries lady carberry who had not been in the way of hearing the reports understood nothing of this but of course she went and heda went with her hetta was standing alone in a corner near to her mother who was talking to mr booker with her eyes fixed on the awful tranquility of the emperor's countenance when marie malmot timidly crept up to her and asked her how she was hetta probably was not very cordial to the poor girl being afraid of her partly as the daughter of the great melmoth and partly as the girl with whom her brother had failed to run away but marie was not rebuked by this i hope you won't be angry with me for speaking to you had a smile more graciously she could not be angry with the girl for speaking to her feeling that she was there as the guest of the girl's mother i suppose you know about your brother said marie whispering with her eyes turned to the ground i have heard about it said heda he never told me himself oh i do so wish that i knew the truth i know nothing of course miss carberry i love him i do love him so dearly i hope you don't think i would have done it if i hadn't loved him better than anybody in the world don't you think that if a girl loves a man really loves him that ought to go before everything this was a question that heta was hardly prepared to answer she felt quite certain that under no circumstances would she run away with a man i don't quite know it is so hard to say she replied i do what's the good of anything if you're to be brokenhearted i don't care what they say of me or what they do to me if he would only be true to me why doesn't he let me know something about it this also was a question difficult to be answered since that horrid morning on which sir felix had stumbled home drunk which was now four days since he had not left the house in welbeck street till this evening he had gone out a few minutes before lady carbury had started but up to that time he had almost kept his bed he would not get up till dinner time would come down after some half dressed fashion and then get back to his bedroom where he would smoke and drink brandy and water and complain of headache the theory was that he was ill but he was in fact utterly cowed and did not dare to show himself at his usual haunt he was aware that he had quarreled at the club aware that all the world knew of his intended journey to liverpool aware that he had tumbled about the streets intoxicated he had not dared to show himself and the feeling had grown upon him from day to day now fairly worn out by his confinement he had crept out intending if possible to find consolation with ruby ruggles do tell me where is he pleaded marie he has not been very well lately is he ill oh miss carvery do tell me you can understand what it is to love him as i do can't you he has been ill i think he is better now why does he not come to me or send to me or let me know something it is cruel is it not tell me you must know does he really care for me heta was exceedingly perplexed the real feeling betrayed by the girl recommended her hada could not but sympathize with the affection manifested for her own brother though she could hardly understand the want of reticence displayed by marie and thus speaking of her love to one who was almost a stranger felix hardly ever talks about himself to me she said if he doesn't care for me there shall be an end of it marie said very gravely if i only knew if i thought that he loved me i'd go through oh all the world for him nothing that papa could say should stop me that's my feeling about it i have never talked to anyone but you about it isn't that strange i haven't a person to talk to that's my feeling and i'm not a bit ashamed of it there's no disgrace in being in love but it's very bad to get married without being in love that's what i think it is bad said heather thinking of roger carvery but if felix doesn't care for me continued marie sinking her voice to a low whisper but still making her words quite audible to her companion now heda was strongly of opinion that her brother did not in the least care for marie melmot and that it would be very much for the best that marie melmot should know the truth but she had not that sort of strength which would have enabled her to tell it tell me just what you think said marie hatta was still silent ah i see then i must give him up eh what can i say miss melmod felix never tells me he is my brother and of course i love you for loving him this was almost more than had a meant but she felt herself constrained to say some gracious word do you oh i wish you did i should so like to be loved by you nobody loves me i think that man there wants to marry me do you know him he is lord knitterdale he is very nice but he does not love me any more than he loves you that's the way with men it isn't the way with me i would go with felix and slave for him if he were poor is it all to be over then you will give him a message from me peta doubting us to the propriety of the promise promised that she would just tell him i want to know that's all i want to know you'll understand i want to know the real truth i suppose i do know it now then i shall not care what happens to me it will be all the same i suppose i shall marry that young man though it will be very bad i shall just be as if i hadn't any self of my own at all but he ought to send me word after all that has passed do not you think he ought to send me word yes indeed you tell him then said marie nodding her head as she crept away knitterdale had been observing her while she had been talking to miss carvery he had heard the rumor and of course felt that it behooved him to be on his guard more specially than anyone else but he had not believed what he had heard that men should be thoroughly immoral that they should gamble get drunk run into debt and make love to other men's wives was to him a matter of everyday life nothing of that kind shocked him at all but he was not as yet quite old enough to believe in swindling it had been impossible to convince him that miles grindall had cheated at cards and the idea that mr melmot had forged was as improbable and shocking to him as that an officer should run away in battle common soldiers he thought might do that sort of thing he had almost fallen in love with marie when he saw her last and was inclined to feel the more kindly to her now because of the hard things that were being said about her father and yet he knew that he must be careful if he came a cropper in this matter it would be such an awful crapper how do you like the party he said to marie i don't like it at all my lord how do you like it very much indeed i think the emperor is the greatest fun i ever saw prince frederick one of the german princes who was staying at the time among his english cousins prince frederick says that he's stuffed with hay and that he's made up fresh every morning at a shop in the hay market i've seen him talk he opens his mouth of course there is machinery as well as hay i think he's the grandest old buffer out and i'm awfully glad that i've dined with him i couldn't make out whether he really put anything to eat into his jolly old mouth of course he did have you been thinking about what we were talking about the other day no my lord i haven't thought about it since why should i well it's a sort of thing that people do think about you know you don't think about it don't i i've been thinking about nothing else the last three months you've been thinking whether you'd get married or not that's what i mean said lord knitterdale it isn't what i mean then i'll be shot if i can understand you perhaps not and you never will understand me oh goodness they're all going and we must get out of the way is that prince frederick who told you about the hay he is handsome isn't he and who is that in the violet dress with all the pearls that's the princess dwarza dear me isn't it odd having a lot of people in one's own house and not being able to speak a word to them i don't think it's at all nice good night my lord i'm glad you like the emperor and then the people went and when they had all gone malmo put his wife and daughter into his own carriage telling them that he would follow them on foot to brewton street when he had given some last directions to the people who were putting out the lights and extinguishing generally the embers of the entertainment he had looked round for lord alfred taking care to avoid the appearance of searching but lord alfred had gone lord alfred was one of those who knew when to leave a falling house melmat at the moment thought of all that he had done for lord alfred and it was something of the real venom of ingratitude that stunned him at the moment rather than this additional sign of coming evil he was more than ordinarily gracious as he put his wife into the carriage and remarked that considering all things the party had gone off very well i only wish it could have been done a little cheaper he said laughing then he went back into the house and up into the drawing rooms which were now utterly deserted some of the lights had been put out but the men were busy in the rooms below and he threw himself into the chair in which the emperor had sat it was wonderful that he should come to such a fade as this that he the boy out of the gutter should entertain at his own house in london a chinese emperor and english and german royalty and that he should do so almost with a rope around his neck even if this were to be the end of it all men would at any rate remember him the grand dinner which he had given before he was put into prison would live in history and it would be remembered too that he had been the conservative candidate for the great borough of westminster perhaps even the elected member he too in his manner assured himself that a great part of him would escape oblivion non-omnis moriar in some language of his own was chanted by him within his own breast as he sat there looking out on his own magnificent suite of rooms from the armchair which had been consecrated by the use of an emperor no policeman had come to trouble him yet no hint that he would be wanted had been made to him there was no tangible sign that things were not to go on as they went before things would be exactly as they were before but for the absence of those guests from the dinner table and for the words which miles grindall had spoken had he not allowed himself to be terrified by shadows of course he had known that there must be such shadows his life had been made dark by similar clouds before now and he had lived through the storms which had followed them he was thoroughly ashamed of the weakness which had overcome him at the dinner table and of that palsy of fear which he had allowed himself to exhibit there should be no more shrinking such as that when people talked of him they should say that he was at least a man as this was passing through his mind a head was pushed in through one of the doors and immediately withdrawn it was his secretary is that two miles he said come in i'm just going home and came up here to see how the empty rooms would look after they were all gone what became of your father i suppose he went away i suppose he did said melmot unable to hinder himself from throwing a certain tone of scorn into his voice as though proclaiming the fate of his own house and the consequent running away of the rat it went off very well i think very well said miles still standing at the door there had been a few words of consultation between him and his father only a very few words you'd better see it out tonight as you've had a regular salary and all that i shall hook it i shan't go near him tomorrow till i find out how things are going by g i've had about enough of him but hardly enough of his money or it may be presumed that lord alfred would have hooked it sooner why don't you come in and not stand there said melmot there's no emperor here now for you to be afraid of i'm afraid of nobody said miles walking into the middle of the room nor am i what's one man that another man should be afraid of him we've got to die and there'll be an end of it i suppose that's about it said miles hardly following the working of his master's mind i shouldn't care how soon when a man has worked as i have done he gets about tired at my age i suppose i'd better be down at the committee room about 10 tomorrow that's the best i should say you'll be there by that time miles grendal is scented slowly and with imperfect ascent and tell your father he might as well be there as early as convenient all right said miles as he took his departure curse said melmot almost allowed they neither of them will be there if any evil can be done to me by treachery and desertion they will do it then it occurred to him to think whether the grendel article had been worth all the money that he had paid for it curves he said again he walked down into the hall and through the banqueting room and stood at the place where he himself had sat what a scene it had been and how frightfully low his heart had sunk within him it had been the defection of the lord mayor that had hit him hardest what cowards they are the men went on with their work not noticing him and probably not knowing him the dinner had been done by contract and the contractor's foreman was there the care of the house and the alterations had been confided to another contractor and his foreman was waiting to see the place locked up a confidential clerk who had been with melmot for years and who knew his ways was there also to guard the property good night crawl he said to the man in german crawl touched his hat and bad him good night melmot listened anxiously to the tone of the man's voice trying to catch from it some indication of the mind within did crawl know of these rumors and if so what did he think of them crowl had known him in some perilous circumstances before and had helped him through them he paused a moment as though he would ask a question but resolved at last that silence would be safest you'll see everything safe a crawl crawl said that he would see everything safe and melmot passed out into the square he had not far to go round through berkeley square into brewton street but he stood for a few moments looking up at the bright stars if he could be there in one of those unknown distant worlds with all his present intellect and none of his present burdens he would he thought do better than he had done here on earth if he could even now put himself down nameless famous and without possessions in some distant corner of the world he could he thought do better but he was augustus melmat and he must bear his burdens whatever they were to the end he could reach no place so distant but that he would be known and traced end of chapter 62. chapter 63 of the way we live now this is a librivox recording all librivox recordings are in the public domain for more information or to volunteer please visit librivox.org the way we live now by anthony trollope chapter 63 mr melmot on the day of the election no election of a member of parliament by ballot in a borough so large as that of westminster had as yet been achieved in england since the ballot had been established by law men who heretofore had known or thought that they knew how elections would go who counted up promises told off professed enemies and weighed the doubtful ones now confess themselves to be in the dark three days since the odds have been considerably in melmoth's favor but this had come from the reputation attached to his name rather than from any calculation as to the politics of the voters then sunday had intervened on the monday melmoth's name had continued to go down in the bedding from morning to evening early in the day his supporters had thought little of this attributing the fall to that vacillation which is customary in such matters but towards the latter part of the afternoon the tidings from the city had been in everybody's mouth and melmoth's committee room had been almost deserted at six o'clock there were some who suggested that his name should be withdrawn no such suggestion however was made to him perhaps because no one dared to make it on the monday evening all work and strategy for the election as regarded malmot and his party died away and the interest of the hour was turned to the dinner but mr elf supporters were very busy there had been a close consultation among a few of them as to what should be done by their committee as to these charges against the opposite candidate in the pulpit of that evening an illusion had been made to the affair which was of course sufficiently intelligible to those who were immediately concerned in the matter but which had given no name and mentioned no details mr elf explained that this had been put in by the sub editor and that it only afforded such news as the paper was bound to give to the public he himself pointed out the fact that no note of triumph had been sounded and that the rumor had not been connected with the election one old gentleman was of opinion that they were bound to make the most of it it's no more than we've all believed all along said the old gentleman and why are we to let a fellow like that get the seat if we can keep him out he was of opinion that everything should be done to make the rumor with all its exaggerations as public as possible so that there should be no opening for an indictment for libel and the clever old gentleman was full of devices by which this might be affected but the committee generally was averse to fight in this manner public opinion has its bar as well as the law courts if after all melmot had committed no fraud or as was much more probable should not be convicted of fraud then it would be said that the accusation had been forged for purely electioneering purposes and there might be a rebound which would pretty well crush all those who had been concerned individual gentlemen could of course say what they pleased to individual voters but it was agreed at last that no overt use should be made of the rumors by mr alf's committee in regard to other matters they who worked under the committee were busy enough the dinner to the emperor was turned into ridicule and the electors were asked whether they felt themselves bound to return a gentleman out of the city to parliament because he had offered to spend a fortune on entertaining all the royalties then assembled in london there was very much said on placards and published in newspapers to the discredit of melmot but nothing was so printed which would not have appeared with equal venom had the recent rumors never been sent out from the city at 12 o'clock at night when mr alf's committee room was being closed and when melmot was walking home to bed the general opinion at the clubs was very much in favor of mr alf on the next morning melmot was up before eight as yet no policeman had called for him nor had any official information reached him that an accusation was to be brought against him on coming down from his bedroom he had once went into the back parlor on the ground floor which mr longstaff called his study and which mr melmot had used since he had been in mr longstaff's house for the work which he did at home he would be there often early in the morning and often late at night after lord alfred had left him there were two heavy desk tables in the room furnished with drawers down to the ground one of these the owner of the house had kept locked for his own purposes when the bargain for the temporary letting of the house had been made mr melmot and mr longstaff were close friends terms for the purchase of pickering had just been made and no cause for suspicion had as yet arisen everything between the two gentlemen had been managed with the greatest ease oh dear yes mr longstaff could come whenever he pleased he malmot always left the house at 10 and never returned till 6. the ladies would never enter that room the servants were to regard mr longstaff quite as master of the house as far as that room was concerned if mr longstaff could spare it mr melmot would take the key of one of the tables the matter was arranged very pleasantly mr melmot on entering the room bolted the door and then sitting at his own table took certain papers out of the drawers a bundle of letters and another of small documents from these with very little examination he took three or four two or three perhaps from each these he tore into very small fragments and burned the bits holding them over a gas burner and letting the ashes fall into a large china plate then he blew the ashes into the yard through the open window this he did to all these documents but one this one he put bit by bit into his mouth chewing the paper into a pulp till he swallowed it when he had done this and had relocked his own drawers he walked across to the other table mr longstaff's table and pulled the handle of one of the drawers it opened and then without touching the contents he again closed it he then knelt down and examined the lock and the hole above into which the bolt of the lock ran having done this he again closed the drawer drew back the bolt of the door and sitting himself at his own desk rang the bell which was close to hand the servant found him writing letters after his usual hurried fashion and was told that he was ready for breakfast he always breakfasted alone with a heap of newspapers around him and so he did on this day he soon found the paragraph alluding to himself in the pulpit and read it without a quiver in his face of the slightest change in his color there was no one to see him now but he was acting under a resolve that at no moment either when alone or in a crowd or when suddenly called upon for words not even when the policeman with their first hints of arrest should come upon him would he betray himself by the working of a single muscle or the loss of a drop of blood from his heart he would go through it always armed without a sign of shrinking it had to be done and he would do it at 10 he walked down to the central committee room at whitehall place he thought that he would face the world better by walking than if he were taken in his own room he gave orders that the carriage should be at the committee room at 11 and wait for an hour for him if he was not there he went along bond street and piccadilly regent street and through palm mall to cheering cross with the blindly triumphant smile of a man who had successfully entertained the great guest of the day as he got near the club he met two or three men whom he knew and bowed to them they returned his bow graciously enough but not one of them stopped to speak to him of one he knew that he would have stopped had it not been for the rumor even after the man had passed on he was careful to show no displeasure on his face he would take it all as it would come and still be the blandly triumphant merchant prince as long as the police would allow him he probably was not aware how very different was the part he was now playing from that which he had assumed at the india office at the committee room he only found a few under strappers and was informed that everything was going on regularly the electors were balloting but with the ballot so said the leader of the under strappers there never was any excitement the men looked half frightened as though they did not quite know whether they ought to seize their candidate and hold him till the constable came they certainly had not expected to see him there has lord alfred been here malmot asked standing in the inner room with his back to the empty grate no lord alfred had not been there nor mr grendel the senior understaffer knew that melmot would have asked for his secretary and not for mr grendall but for the rumors it is so hard not to tumble into cilla when you are avoiding schribdus mr grandahl had not been there indeed nobody had been there in fact there is nothing more to be done i suppose said mr melmot the senior understaffer thought that there was nothing more to be done he left word that his broom should be sent away and strolled out again on foot he went up into covent garden where there was a polling booth the place seemed to him as one of the chief centers for a contested election to be wonderfully quiet he was determined to face everybody and everything and he went close up to the booth here he was recognized by various men mechanics chiefly who came forward and shook hands with him he remained there for an hour conversing with people and at last made a speech to a little knot around him he did not allude to the rumor of yesterday nor did the paragraph in the pulpit to which his name had not been attached but he spoke freely enough of the general accusations that had been brought against him previously he wished the electors to understand that nothing which had been said against him made him ashamed to meet them here or elsewhere he was proud of his position and proud that the electors of westminster should recognize it he did not he was glad to say know much of the law but he was told that the law would protect him from such aspersions as had been unfairly thrown upon him he flattered himself that he was too good an englishman to regard the ordinary political attacks to which candidates were as a matter of course subject at elections and he could stretch his back to bear perhaps a little more than these particularly as he looked forward to a triumphant return but things had been said and published which the excitement of an election could not justify and as to these things he must have recourse to the law then he made some illusion to the princes and the emperor and concluded by observing that it was the proudest most of his life to be an englishman and a londoner it was asserted afterwards that this was the only good speech he had ever been known to make and it was certainly successful as he was applauded throughout covent garden a reporter for the breakfast table who was on duty at the place looking for paragraphs as to the conduct of electors gave an account of the speech in that paper and made more of it perhaps than it deserved it was asserted afterwards and given as a great proof of melmoth's cleverness that he had planned the thing and gone to covent garden all alone having considered that in that way could he best regain a step in reputation but in truth the affair had not been preconcerted it was while in whitehall place that he had first thought of going to covent garden and he had had no idea of making a speech till the people had gathered around him it was then noon and he had to determine what he should do next he was half inclined to go around to all the booths and make speeches his success at covent garden had been very pleasant to him but he feared that he might not be so successful elsewhere he had shown that he was not afraid of the electors then an idea struck him that he would go boldly into the city to his own offices in ab church lane he had determined to be absent on this day and would not be expected but his appearance there could not on that account be taken amiss whatever enmities there might be or whatever perils he would face them he got a cab therefore and had himself driven to ab church lane the clerks were hanging about doing nothing as though it were a holiday the dinner the election and the rumor together had altogether demoralized them but some of them at least were there and they showed no signs of absolute insubordination mr grendel has not been here he asked no mr grandahl had not been there but mr cohen loop was in mr grendel's room at this moment he hardly desired to see mr cohen loop that gentleman was privy to many of his transactions but was by no means privy to them all mr cohen knew that the estate at pickering had been purchased and knew that it had been mortgaged he knew also what had become of the money which had so been raised but he knew nothing of the circumstances of the purchase although he probably surmised that melamod had succeeded in getting the title deeds on credit without paying the money he was afraid that he could hardly see cohen loop and hold his tongue and that he could not speak to him without danger he and cohen loop might have to stand in a dock together and cohen loop had none of his spirit but the clerks would think and would talk where he leave the office without seeing his old friend he went therefore into his own room and called to cohen loop as he did so he didn't expect you here today said the member for stains nor did i expect to come but there isn't much to do at westminster while the ballot is going on so i came up just to look at the letters the dinner went off pretty well yesterday a uncommon nothing better why did the lord mayor stay away malmot because he's an ass and occur said mr malmot with an assumed air of indignation alpha and his people had got hold of him there was ever so much fuss about it at first whether he would accept the invitation i say it was an insult to the city to take it and not to come i shall be even with him some of these days things will go on just the same as usual melma go on of course they'll go what's to hinder them there's ever so much been said whispered cohen loop said yes ejaculated malmot very loudly you're not such a fool i hope is to believe every word you hear you'll have enough to believe if you do there's no knowing about anybody does know and what anybody does not know said cohen loop look you hear cohen loop and now melmot also sank his voice to a whisper keep your tongue in your mouth go about just as usual and say nothing it's all right there has been some heavy pulls upon us oh dear there has indeed but any paper with my name to it will come right that's nothing nothing at all said cohen loop and there is nothing nothing at all i bought some property and have paid for it and i have bought some and have not yet paid for it there's no fraud in that no no nothing in that you hold your tongue and go about your business i'm going to the bank now cohen loop had been very low in spirits and was still low in spirits but he was somewhat better after the visit of the great man to the city mr malmo was as good as his word and walked straight to the bank he kept two accounts at different banks one for his business and one for his private affairs the one he now entered was that which kept what we may call his domestic account he walked straight through after his old fashion to the room behind the bank in which sat the manager and the managers one clerk and stood upon the rug before the fireplace just as though nothing had happened or as nearly as though nothing had happened as was within the compass of his powers he could not quite do it in keeping up an appearance intended to be natural he was obliged to be somewhat milder than his want the manager did not behave nearly as well as he did and the clerks manifestly betrayed their emotion melmot saw that it was soul but he had expected it and had come there on purpose to put it down we hardly expected to see you in the city today mr melmot and i didn't expect to see myself here but it always happens that when one expects that there's most to be done there's nothing to be done at all they're all at work down at westminster balloting but as i can't go on voting for myself i'm of no use i've been at covent garden this morning making a stump speech and if all that they say there is true i haven't much to be afraid of and the dinner went off pretty well asked the manager very well indeed they say the emperor liked it better than anything that has been done for him yet this was a brilliant flash of imagination for a friend to dine with me every day you know i should prefer somebody who had a little more to say for himself but then perhaps you know if you or i were in china we shouldn't have much to say for ourselves eh the manager acceded to this proposition we had one awful disappointment his lordship from over the way didn't come the lord mayor you mean the lord mayor didn't come he was frightened at the last moment took it into his head that his authority in the city was somehow compromised but the wonder was that the dinner went on without him then malmo referred to the report of his call there that day he would have to draw large checks for his private wants you don't give a dinner to an emperor of china for nothing you know he had been in the habit of overdrawing on his private account making arrangements with the manager but now in the manager's presence he drew a regular check on his business account for a large sum and then as a sort of afterthought paid in the 250 pounds which he had received from mr brown on account of the money which sir felix had taken from marie there don't seem to be much to matter with him said the manager when malmot had left the room he brazens it out don't he said the senior clerk but the feeling of the room after full discussion inclined to the opinion that the rumors had been a political maneuver nevertheless mr melmot would not now have been allowed to overdraw at the present moment end of chapter 63. chapter 64 of the way we live now this is a librivox recording all librivox recordings are in the public domain for more information or to volunteer please visit librivox.org the way we live now by anthony trollope chapter 64 the election mr elf's central committee room was in great george street and there the battle was kept alive all the day it had been decided as the reader has been told that no direct advantage should be taken of that loud blast of accusation which had been heard throughout the town on the previous afternoon there had not been sufficient time for inquiry as to the truth of that blast if there were just ground for the things that had been said mr malmot would no doubt soon be in jail or would be wanted many had thought that he would escape as soon as the dinner was over and had been disappointed when they heard that he had been seen walking down towards his own committee room on the following morning others had been told that at the last moment his name would be withdrawn and a question arose as to whether he had the legal power to withdraw his name after a certain hour on the day before the ballot an effort was made to convince a portion of the electors that he had withdrawn or would have withdrawn or should have withdrawn when melmot was at covent garden a large throng of men went to whitehall place with the view of ascertaining the truth he certainly had made no attempt at withdrawal they who propagated this report certainly damaged mr elf's cause a second reaction set in and there grew a feeling that mr melmot was being ill-used those evil things had been said of him many at least so declared not from any true motive but simply to secure mr alf's return tidings of the speech in covent garden were spread about at the various polling places and did good service to the so-called conservative cause mr elf's friends hearing all this instigated him also to make a speech something should be said if only that it might be reported in the newspapers to show that they had behaved with generosity instead of having injured their enemy by false attacks whatever mr elf might say he might at any rate be sure of a favorable reporter about two o'clock in the day mr alf did make a speech and a very good speech it was if correctly reported in the evening pulpit mr elf was a clever man ready at all points with all his powers immediately at command and no doubt he did make a good speech but in this speech in which we may presume that it would be his intention to convince the electors that they ought to return him to parliament because of the two candidates he was the fittest to represent their views he did not say a word as to his own political ideas not indeed a word that could be accepted as manifesting his own fitness for the place which it was his ambition to fill he contented himself with endeavoring to show that the other man was not fit and that he and his friends though solicitous of proving to the electors that mr malmot was about the most unfit man in the world had been guilty of nothing shabby in their manner of doing so mr melma he said comes before you as a conservative and has told us by the mouths of his friends for he has not favored us with many words of his own that he is supported by the whole conservative party that party is not my party but i respect it where however are these conservative supporters we have heard till we are sick of it of the banquet which mr melmot gave yesterday i am told that very few of those whom he calls his conservative friends could be induced to attend that banquet it is equally notorious that the leading merchants of the city refuse to grace the table of this great commercial prince i say that the leaders of the conservative party have at last found their candidate out have repudiated him and are seeking now to free themselves from the individual shame of having supported the candidature of such a man by remaining in their own houses instead of clustering around the polling booths go to mr melmott's committee room and inquire if those leading conservatives be there look about and see whether they are walking with him in the streets or standing with him in public places or taking the air with him in the parks i respect the leaders of the conservative party but they have made a mistake in this matter and they know it then he ended by alluding to the rumors of yesterday i scorn said he to say anything against the personal character of a political opponent which i am not in a position to prove i make no illusion and have made no allusion to reports which were circulated yesterday about him and which i believe were originated in the city they may be false or they may be true as i know nothing of the matter i prefer to regard them as false and i recommend you to do the same but i declared to you long before these reports were in men's mouths that mr melmot was not entitled by his character to represent you in parliament and i repeat that assertion a great british merchant indeed how long do you think should a man be known in this city before that title be accorded to him who knew ought of this man two years since unless indeed it be someone who had burnt his wings in trafficking with him in some continental city ask the character of this great british merchant in hamburg in vienna ask it in paris ask those whose business here has connected them with the assurance companies of foreign countries and you will be told whether this is a fit man to represent westminster in the british parliament there was much more yet but such was the tone of the speech which mr alf made with the object of inducing the electors to vote for himself at two or three o'clock in the day nobody knew how the matter was going it was supposed that the working classes were in favor of melmoth partly from their love of a man who spends a great deal of money partly from the belief that he was being ill-used partly no doubt from that occult sympathy which is felt for crime when the crime committed is injurious to the upper classes masses of men will almost feel that a certain amount of injustice ought to be inflicted on their betters so as to make things even and will persuade themselves that a criminal should be declared to be innocent because the crime committed has had a tendency to oppress the rich and pull down the mighty from their seats some few years since the basis calumnies that were ever published in this country uttered by one of the basest men that ever disgraced the country leveled for the most part at men of whose characters and services the country was proud were received with a certain amount of sympathy by men not themselves dishonest because they who were thus slandered had received so many good things from fortune that a few evil things were thought to be due to them there had not as yet been time for the formation of such a feeling generally in respect of mr melmot but there was a commencement of it it had been asserted that melmot was a public robber whom had he robbed not the poor there was not a man in london who caused the payment of a larger sum in weekly wages than mr melmot about three o'clock the editor of the morning breakfast table called on lady carberry what is it all about she asked as soon as her friend was seated there had been no time for him to explain anything at madame melmat's reception and lady carvery had as yet failed in learning any certain news of what was going on i don't know what to make of it said mr brown there is a story abroad that mr melmot has forged some document with reference to a purchase he made and hanging on to that story are other stories as to monies that he has raised i should say that it was simply an electioneering trick and a very unfair trick were it not that all his own side seemed to believe it do you believe it ah i could answer almost any question sooner than that then he can't be rich at all even that would not follow he has such large concerns in hand that he might be very much pressed for funds and yet be possessed of immense wealth everybody says that he pays all his bills will he be returned she asked from what we hear we think not i shall know more about it in an hour or two at present i should not like to have to publish an opinion but were i forced to bet i would bet against him nobody is doing anything for him there can be no doubt that his own party are ashamed of him as things used to be this would have been fatal to him at the day of election but now with the ballot it won't matter so much if i were a candidate at present i think i would go to bed on the last day and beg all my committee to do the same as soon as they had put in their voting papers i am glad felix did not go to liverpool said lady carvery it would not have made much difference she would have been brought back all the same they say lord knitterdale still means to marry her i saw him talking to her last night there must be an immense amount of property somewhere no one doubts that he was rich when he came to england two years ago and they say everything is prospered that he has put his hand to since the mexican railway shares had fallen this morning but they were at 15 pounds premium yesterday morning he must have made an enormous deal out of that but mr brown's eloquence on this occasion was chiefly displayed in regard to the presumption of mr alf i shouldn't think him such a fool if he had announced his resignation of the editorship when he came before the world as a candidate for parliament but a man must be mad who imagines that he can sit for westminster and edit a london daily paper at the same time has it never been done never i think that is by the editor of such a paper as the pulpit how is a man who sits in parliament himself ever to pretend to discuss the doings of parliament with impartiality but alf believes that he can do more than anybody else ever did and he'll come to the ground where's felix now do not ask me said the poor mother is he doing anything he lies in bed all day and is out all night but that wants money she only shook her head you do not give him any i have none to give i should simply take the key of the house from him or bolt the door if he will not give it up and be in bed and listen while he knocks knowing that he must wander in the streets if i refuse to let him in a mother cannot do that mr brown a child has such a hold upon his mother when her reason has made her to condemn him her heart will not let her carry out the sentence mr brown never now thought of kissing lady carvery but when she spoke thus he got up and took her hand and she as she pressed his hand had no fear that she would be kissed the feeling between them was changed melmot dined at home that evening with no company but that of his wife and daughter laterally one of the grendales had almost always joined their party when they did not dine out indeed it was an understood thing that miles grendal should dine there always unless he explained his absence by some engagement so that his presence there had come to be considered as a part of his duty not infrequently alfred and miles would both come as melmoth's dinners and wines were good and occasionally the father would take the son's place but on this day they were both absent madame melmot had not as yet said a word to anyone indicating her own apprehension of any evil but not a person had called today the day after the great party and even she though she was naturally callous in such matters had begun to think that she was deserted she had too become so used to the presence of the grendels that she now missed their company she thought that on this day of all days when the world was balloting for her husband at westminster that would both have been with him to discuss the work of the day is not mr grendall coming she asked if she took her seat at the table no he is not said melmot no lord alfred nor lord alfred melmot had returned home much comforted by the day's proceedings no one had dared to say a harsh word to his face nothing further had reached his ears after leaving the bank he had gone back to his office and had written letters just as if nothing had happened and as far as he could judge his clerks had plucked up courage one of them about five o'clock came into him with news from the west and with second editions of the evening papers the clerk expressed his opinion that the election was going well mr melmot judging from the papers one of which was supposed to be on his side and the other of course against him thought that his affairs altogether were looking well the westminster election had not the foremost place in his thoughts but he took what was said on that subject as indicating the minds of men upon the other matter he read elf's speech and consoled himself with thinking that mr alf had not dared to make new accusations against him all that about hamburg and vienna and paris was as old as the hills and availed nothing his whole candidature had been carried in the face of that i think we shall do pretty well he said to the clerk his very presence in ab church lane of course gave confidence and thus when he came home something of the old arrogance had come back upon him and he could swagger at any rate before his wife and servants nor lord alfred he said was scorned then he added more the father and son are two damned kers this of course frightened madame melmod and she joined this desertion of the grendales to her own solitude all the day is there anything wrong melmat she said afterwards creeping up to him in the back parlor and speaking in french what do you call wrong i don't know but i seem to be afraid of something i should have thought you were used to that kind of feeling by this time then there is something don't be a fool there's always something there is always much you don't suppose that this kind of thing can be carried on as smoothly as the life of an old maid with 400 pounds a year paid quarterly in advance so we have to move again she asked how am i to tell you haven't much to do when we move and may get plenty to eat and drink wherever you go does that girl mean to marry lord knitterdale madame melmot shook her head what a poor creature you must be when you can't talk her out of a fancy for such a reprobate as young carbury if she throws me over i'll throw her over a flogger within an inch of her life if she disobeys me you tell her that i say so then he may flog me said marie when so much of the conversation was repeated to her that evening papa does not know me if he thinks that i'm to be made to marry a man by flogging no such attempt was at any rate made that night for the father and husband did not again see his wife or daughter early the next day a report was current that mr alf had been returned the numbers had not as yet been counted or the books made up but that was the opinion expressed all the morning newspapers including the breakfast table repeated this report but each gave it as a general opinion on the matter the truth would not be known till seven or eight o'clock in the evening the conservative papers did not scruple to say that the presumed election of mr elf was owing to a sudden declension and the confidence originally felt in mr melmot the breakfast table which had supported mr malmot's candidate sure gave no reason and expressed more doubt on the result than the other papers we know not how such an opinion forms itself the writer said but it seems to have been formed as nothing is yet is really known or can be known we express no opinion of our own upon the matter mr melmot again went into the city and found that things seemed to have returned very much into their usual grooves the mexican railway shares were low and mr cohen loop was depressed in spirits and unhappy but nothing dreadful had occurred or seemed to be threatened if nothing dreadful did occur the railway shares would probably recover or nearly recover their position in the course of the day melmot received a letter from message slow and bite a while which of itself certainly contained no comfort but there was comfort to be drawn even from that letter by reason of what it did not contain the letter was unfriendly in its tone and peremptory it had come evidently from a hostile party it had none of the feeling which had hitherto prevailed in the intercourse between these two well-known conservative gentlemen mr adolphus longstaff and mr augustus melmot but there was no illusion in it to forgery no question of criminal proceedings no hint at ought beyond the not unnatural desire of mr longstaff and mr longstaff's son to be paid for the property at pickering which mr melmod had purchased we have to remind you said the letter and continuation of paragraphs which it contains simply demands for the money that the title deeds were delivered to you on receipt by us of authority to that effect from the message long staff father and son on the understanding that the purchase money was to be paid to us by you we are informed that the property has been since mortgaged by you we do not state this as a fact but the information whether true or untrue forces upon us the necessity of demanding that you should at once pay to us to purchase money eighty thousand pounds or else return to us the title deeds of the estate this letter which was signed slow and by the while declared positively that the title deeds had been given up on authority received by them from both the long staffs father and son now the accusation brought against melmoth as far as he could as yet understand it was that he had forged the signature to the young lester longstaff's letter messer's slow and by the while were therefore on his side as to the simple debt he cared little comparatively about that many fine men were walking about london who owed large sums of money which they could not pay as he was sitting at his solitary dinner this evening for both his wife and daughter had declined to join him saying that they had dined early news was brought to him that he had been elected for westminster he had beaten mr elf by something not much less than a thousand votes it was very much to be member for westminster so much had at any rate been achieved by him who had begun the world without a shilling and without a friend almost without education much as he loved money and much as he loved the spending of money and much as he had made and much as he had spent no triumph of his life had been so great to him as this brought into the world in a gutter without father or mother with no good thing ever done for him he was now a member of the british parliament and member for one of the first cities in the empire ignorant as he was he understood the magnitude of the achievement and dismayed as he was as to his present position still at this moment he enjoyed keenly a certain amount of elation of course he had committed forgery of course he had committed robbery that indeed was nothing for he had been cheating and forging and stealing all his life of course he was in danger of almost immediate detection and punishment he hardly hoped that the evil day would be very much longer protracted and yet he enjoyed his triumph whatever they might do quick as they might be they could hardly prevent his taking his seat in the house of commons then if they sent him to penal servitude for life they would have to say that they had so treated the member for westminster he drank a bottle of claret and then got some brandy and water in such troubles as we're coming upon him now he would hardly get sufficient support from wine he knew that he had better not drink that is he had better not drink supposing the world to be free to him for his own work and his own enjoyment but if the world were no longer free to him if he were really coming to penal servitude and annihilation then why should he not drink while the time lasted an hour of triumphant joy might be an eternity to a man if the man's imagination was strong enough to make him so regard his hour he therefore took his brandy and water freely and as he took it he was able to throw his fears behind him and to assure himself that after all he might even yet escape from his bondages no he would drink no more this he said to himself as he filled another beaker he would work instead he would put his shoulder to the wheel and would yet conquer his enemies it would not be so easy to convict a member for westminster especially if money was spent freely was he not the man who at his own cost had entertained the emperor of china would not that be remembered in his favor would not men be unwilling to punish the man who had received at his own table all the princes of the land and the prime minister and all the ministers to convict him would be a national disgrace he fully realized all this as he lifted the glass to his mouth and puffed out the smoke and large volumes to his lips but money must be spent yes money must be had cohen loop certainly had money though he squeezed it out of the cowards veins he would have it at any rate he would not despair there was a fight to be fought yet and he would fight it to the end then he took a deep drink and slowly with careful and almost solemn steps he made his way up to his bed end of chapter 64. chapter 65 of the way we live now this

writes home lady monogram when she left madame melmat's house after that entertainment of imperial majesty which had been to her of so very little of veil was not in a good humor sir damask who had himself affected to laugh at the whole thing but who had been in truth as anxious as his wife to see the emperor in private society put her ladyship and miss longstaff into the carriage without a word and rushed off to his club in disgust the affair from beginning to end including the final failure had been his wife's doing he had been made to work like a slave and had been taken against his wills to melmoth's house and had seen no emperor and shaken hands with no prince they may fight it out between them now like the kilkenny cats that was his idea as he closed the carriage door on the two ladies thinking that if a larger remnant were left of one cat than of the other that larger remnant would belong to his wife a horrid affair said lady monogram did anybody ever see anything so vulgar this was at any rate unreasonable for whatever vulgarity there may have been lady monogram had seen none of it i don't know why you were so late said georgiana late why it's not yet 12 i don't suppose it was 11 when we got into the square anywhere else it would have been early you knew they did not mean to stay long it was particularly said so i really think it was your own fault my own fault yes i don't doubt that i know it was my own fault my dear to have had anything to do with it and now i have got to pay for it what do you mean by paying for it julia you know what i mean very well is your friend going to do us the honor of coming to us tomorrow night she could not have declared in plain or language how very high she thought the price to be which she had consented to give for those ineffective tickets if you mean mr braggart he is coming you desired me to ask him and i did so desired you the truth is georgiana when people get into different sets they'd better stay where they are it's no good trying to mix things lady monogram was so angry that she could not control her tongue miss longstaff was ready to tear herself with indignation that she should have been brought to hear insulin such as this from julia triplex she the daughter of adolphus longstaff of caversham and lady pomona she who was considered to have lived in quite the first london circle but she could hardly get hold of fit words for her reply she was almost in tears and was yet anxious to fight rather than weep but she was in her friend's carriage and was being taken to her friend's house was to be entertained by her friend all the next day and was to see her love her among her friends guests i wonder what has made you so ill-natured she said at last you didn't used to be like that it's no good abusing me said lady monogram here we are and i suppose we had better get out unless you want the carriage to take you anywhere else then lady monogram got out and marched into the house and taking a candle went direct to her own room miss longstaff followed slowly to her own chamber and having half undressed herself dismissed her made and prepared to write to her mother the letter to her mother must be written mr braggart had twice proposed that he should in the usual way go to mr longstaff who had been backwards and forwards in london and was there at the present moment of course it was proper that mr braggart should see her father but as she had told him she preferred that he should postpone his visit for a day or two she was now agonized by many doubts those few words about various sets and the mixing of things had stabbed her to the very heart as had been intended mr braggart was rich that was a certainty but she already repented of what she had done if it were necessary that she should really go down into another in a much lower world a world composed altogether of regards melmots and cohen loops would it avail her much to be the mistress of a gorgeous house she had known and understood and had reveled in the exclusiveness of county position caversham had been dull and there had always been there a dearth of young men of the proper sort but it had been a place to talk of and to feel satisfied with as a home to be acknowledged before the world her mother was dull and her father pompous and often cross but they were in the right set miles removed from the braggarts and melmots until her father himself had suggested to her that she should go to the house in grovner square she would write one letter tonight but there was a question in her mind whether the letter should be written to her mother telling her the horrid truth or to mr bregert begging that the match should be broken off i think she would have decided on the latter had it not been that so many people had already heard of the match the monograms knew it and had of course talked far and wide the melmots knew it and she was aware that lord knitterdale had heard it it was already so far known that it was sure to be public before the end of the season each morning lately she had feared that a letter from home would call upon her to explain the meaning of some frightful rumors reaching kavisham or that her father would come to her and with horror on his face demand to know whether it was indeed true that she had given her sanction to so abominable a report and there were other troubles she had just spoken to madame melmot this evening having met her late hostess as she entered the drawing room and had felt from the manner of her reception that she was not wanted back again she had told her father that she was going to transfer herself to the monograms for a time not mentioning the proposed duration of her visit and mr longstaff in his ambiguous way had expressed himself glad that she was leaving the melmoths she did not think that she could go back to grosvenor square although mr braggart desired it since the expression of mr braggart's wishes she had perceived that ill will had grown up between her father and mr melmot she must return to kavisham they could not refuse to take her in though she had betrothed herself to a jew if she decided that the story should be told to her mother it would be easier to tell it by letter than by spoken words face to face but then if she wrote the letter there would be no retreat and how should she face her family after such a declaration she had always given herself credit for courage and now she wandered at her own cowardice even lady monogram her old friend julia triplex had trampled upon her was it not the business of her life in these days to do the best she could for herself and would she allow paltry considerations as to the feelings of others to stand in her way and become bug bears to a fright her who sent her to melmoth's house was it not her own father then she sat herself square at the table and wrote to her mother as follows dating her letter for the following morning hill street 9th july 1870 something my dear mama i am afraid you will be very much astonished by this letter and perhaps disappointed i have engaged myself to mr bregert a member of a very wealthy firm in the city called todd braggart and goldshiner i may as well tell you the worst at once mr braggart is a jew this last word she wrote very rapidly but largely determined that there should be no lack of courage apparent in the letter he is a very wealthy man and his business is about banking and what he calls finance i understand they are among the most leading people in the city he lives at present at a very handsome house at fulham i don't know that i ever saw a place more beautifully fitted up i have said nothing to papa nor has he but he says he will be willing to satisfy papa perfectly as to settlements he has offered to have a house in london if i like and also to keep the villa at fulham or else to have a place somewhere in the country or i may have the villa at fulham and a house in the country no man can be more generous than he is he has been married before and has a family and now i think i have told you all i suppose you and papa will be very much dissatisfied i hope papa won't refuse his consent it can do no good i am not going to remain as i am now all my life and there is no use waiting any longer it was papa who made me go to the melmods who are not nearly so well placed as mr braggart everybody knows that madame melmat is a jewish and nobody knows what mr melmod is it is no good going on with the old thing when everything seems to be upset in its sixes and sevens if papa has got to be so poor that he is obliged to let the house in town one must of course expect to be different from what we were i hope you won't mind having me back the day after tomorrow that is tomorrow wednesday there is a party here tonight and mr braggart is coming but i can't stay longer with julia who doesn't make herself nice and i do not at all want to go back to the melmods i fancy that there is something wrong between papa and mr melmot send the carriage to meet me by the 2 30 train from london and pray mama don't scold when you see me or have hysterics or anything of that sort of course it isn't all nice but things have got so that they never will be nice again i shall tell mr braggart to go to papa on wednesday your affectionate daughter g when the morning came she desired the servant to take the letter away and have it posted so that the temptation to stop it might no longer be in her way about one o'clock on that day mr longstaff called it lady monograms the two ladies had breakfasted upstairs and had only just met in the drawing room when he came in georgiana trembled at first but soon perceived that her father had as yet heard nothing of mr braggart she immediately told him that she proposed returning home on the following day i am sick of the melmods she said and so am i said mr longstaff with a serious countenance we should have been delighted to have had georgiana to stay with us a little longer said lady monogram but we have but the one spare bedroom and another friend is coming georgiana who knew both these statements to be false declared that she wouldn't think of such a thing we have a few friends coming tonight mr longstaff and i hope you'll come in and see georgiana mr longstaff honed in hard and muttered something as old gentlemen always do when they are asked to go out to parties after dinner mr braggart will be here continued lady monogram with a peculiar smile mr who the name was not at first familiar to mr longstaff mr braggart lady monogram looked at her friend i hope i'm not revealing any secret i don't understand anything about it said mr longstaff georgiana who is mr braggart he had understood very much he had been quite certain from lady monogram's manner and words and also from his daughter's face that mr braggart was mentioned as an accepted lover lady monogram had meant that it should be so and any father would have understood her tone as she said afterwards to sir damask she was not going to have that jew there at her house as georgiana longstaff's accepted lover without mr longstaff's knowledge my dear georgiana she said i supposed your father knew all about it i know nothing georgiana i hate a mystery i insist upon knowing who is mr braggart lady monogram mr braggart is a very wealthy gentleman that is all i know of him perhaps georgiana you will be glad to be alone with your father and lady monogram left the room was there ever cruelty equal to this but now the poor girl was forced to speak though she could not speak as boldly as she had written papa i wrote to mama this morning and mr bregert was to come to you tomorrow do you mean that you are engaged to marry him yes papa what mr braggart is he he is a merchant you can't mean the fat jew whom i've met with mr melmot a man old enough to be your father the poor girl's condition now was certainly lamentable the fat jew old enough to be her father was the very man she did mean she thought that she would try to brazen it out with her father but at the present moment she had been so cowed by the manner in which the subject had been introduced that she did not know how to begin to be bold she only looked at him as though imploring him to spare her is the man of jew demanded mr longstaff with as much thunder as he knew how to throw into his voice yes papa she said he is that fat man yes papa and nearly as old as i am no papa not nearly as old as you are he is 50. and the jew he again asked the horrid question and again threw in the thunder on this occasion she condescended to make no further reply if you do you shall do it as an alien from my house i certainly will never see him tell him not to come to me for i certainly will not speak to him you are degraded and disgraced but you shall not degrade and disgrace me and your mother and sister it was you papa who told me to go to the melmoths that is not true i wanted you to stay at cavisham a jew an old fat jew heavens and earth that it should be possible that you should think of it you my daughter that used to take such pride in yourself have you written to your mother i have it will kill her it will simply kill her and you are going home tomorrow i wrote to say so and there you must remain i suppose i had better see the man and explain to him that it is utterly impossible heavens on earth a jew an old fat jew my daughter i will take you down home myself tomorrow what have i done that i should be punished by my children in this way the poor man had had rather a stormy interview with dolly that morning you had better leave this house today and come to my hotel in german street oh papaya i can't do that why can't you do it you can do it and you shall do it i will not have you see him again i will see him if you do not promise me to come i will send for lady monogram and tell her that i will not permit you to meet mr braggart at her house i do wonder at her a jew an old fat jew mr longstaff putting up both his hands walked about the room in despair she did consent knowing that her father and lady monogram between them would be too strong for her she had her things packed up and in the course of the afternoon allowed herself to be carried away she said one word to lady monogram before she went tell him that i was called away suddenly i will my dear i thought your papa would not like it the poor girl had not spirit sufficient to upgrade her friend nor did it suit her now to asturbate an enemy for the moment at least she must yield to everybody and everything she spent a lonely evening with her father in adult sitting room in the hotel hardly speaking or spoken to and the following day she was taken down to caversham she believed that her father had seen mr braggart in the morning of that day but he said no word to her nor did she ask him any question that was on the day after lady monogram's party early in the evening just as the gentleman were coming up from the dining room mr bregert appareled with much elegance made his appearance lady monogram received him with a sweet smile miss long's longstaff she said has left me and gone to her father oh indeed yes said lady monogram bowing her head and then attending to other persons as they arrived nor did chikan descend to speak another word to mr braggart or to introduce him even to her husband he stood for about 10 minutes inside the drawing room leaning against the wall and that he departed no one had spoken a word to him but he was an even-tempered good humored man when miss longstaff was his wife things would no doubt be different or else she would probably change her acquaintance end of chapter 65. chapter 66 of the way we live now this is a librivox recording all librivox recordings are in the public domain for more information or to volunteer please visit librivox.org the way we live now by anthony trollope chapter 66 so shall be my enmity you shall be troubled no more with winifred hurdle so mrs hertle had said speaking in perfect good faith to the man whom she had come to england with the view of marrying and then when he had said goodbye to her putting out his hand to take hers for the last time she declined that nay she had said this parting will bear no farewell having left her after that fashion paul montague could not return home with very high spirits had she insisted on his taking that letter with the threat of the horse whip as the letter which she intended to write to him that letter which she had shown him owning it to be the abolition of her uncontrolled passion and had been destroyed he might at any rate have consoled himself with thinking that however badly he might have behaved her conduct had been worse than his he could have made himself warm and comfortable with anger and could have assured himself that under any circumstances he must be right to escape from the clutches of a wild cat such as that but at the last moment she had shown that she was no wild cat to him she had melted and become soft and womanly in her softness she had been exquisitely beautiful and as he returned home he was sad and dissatisfied with himself he had destroyed her life for her or at least had created a miserable episode in it which could hardly be obliterated she had said that she was all alone and had given up everything to follow him and he had believed her was he to do nothing for her now she had allowed him to go and after her fashion had pardoned him the wrong he had done her but was that to be sufficient for him so that he might now feel inwardly satisfied at leaving her and make no further inquiry as to her fate could he pass on and let her be as the wine that has been drunk as the hour that has been enjoyed as the day that has passed but what could he do he had made good his own escape he had resolved that let her be woman or wild cat he would not marry her and in that he knew he had been right her antecedents as now declared by herself unfitted her for such a marriage were he to return to her he would be again thrusting his hand into the fire but his own selfish coldness was hateful to him when he thought that there was nothing to be done but to leave her desolate and lonely in mrs pipkin's lodgings during the next three or four days while the preparations for the dinner and the election were going on he was busy in respect to the american railway he again went down to liverpool and that mr ramsbottom's advice prepared a letter to the board of directors in which he resigned his seat and gave his reasons for resigning it adding that he should reserve to himself the liberty of publishing his letter should at any time the circumstances of the railway company seem to him to make such a course desirable he also wrote a letter to mr fisker begging that gentleman to come to england and expressing his own wish to retire all together from the firm of fisker montague and montague upon receiving the balance of money due to him a payment which must he said be a matter of small moment to his two partners if as he had been informed they had enriched themselves by the success of the railway company in san francisco when he wrote these letters at liverpool the great rumor about melmot had not yet sprung up he returned to london on the day of the festival and first heard of the report at the bear garden there he found that the old set had for the moment broken itself up sir felix carberry had not been heard of for the last four or five days and then the whole story of miss melmot's journey of which he had read something in the newspapers was told to him we think that carvery has drowned himself said lord grasslau and i haven't heard of anybody being heartbroken about it lord knitterdale had hardly been seen at the club he's taken up the running with the girl said lord grasslaw what he'll do now nobody knows if i was at it i'd have the money down in hard cash before i went into the church he was there at the party yesterday talking to the girl all the night the sort of thing he never did before knitterdale is the best fellow going but he was always an ass nor had miles grendall been seen in the club for three days we've got into a way of play the poor fellow doesn't like said lord grasslau and then melma won't let him out of his sight he is taken to dine there every day this was said during the election on the very day on which miles deserted his patron and on that evening he did dine at the club paul montague also dined there and would feign have heard something from grendel as to melmoth's condition but the secretary if not faithful in all things was faithful at any rate in his silence though grasslaw talked openly enough about melmod in the smoking room miles grendale never said a word on the next day early in the afternoon almost without a fixed purpose montague strolled up to welbeck street and found heda alone mama has gone to her publishers she said she is writing so much now that she is always going there who has been elected mr montague paul knew nothing about the election and cared very little at that time however the election had not been decided i suppose it will make no difference to you whether your chairman be in parliament or not paul said that melmot was no longer a chairman of his are you out of it all together mr montague yes as far as it lay within his power to be out of it he was out of it he did not like mr melma nor believe in him then with considerable warmth he repudiated all connection with the melmot party expressing deep regret that the circumstances had driven him for a time into that alliance then you think that mr malmouth is just a scoundrel that's all you heard about felix of course i heard that he was to marry the girl and that he tried to run off with her i don't know much about it they say that lord knitterdale is to marry her now i think not mr montague i hope not for his sake at any rate your brother is well out of it do you know that she loves felix there is no pretense about that i do think she is good the other night at the party she spoke to me you went to the party then yes i could not refuse to go when my mom chose to take me and when i was there she spoke to me about felix i don't think she will marry lord knitterdale poor girl i do pity her think what a downfall it will be if anything happens but paul montague had certainly not come there with the intention of discussing melmoth's affairs nor could he afford to lose the opportunity which chance had given him he was off with one love and now he thought that he might be on with the other hedda he said i am thinking more of myself than of her or even a felix i suppose we all do think more of ourselves than of other people said heda who knew from his voice at once what it was in his mind to do yes but i am not thinking of myself only i am thinking of myself and you in all my thoughts of myself i am thinking of you too i do not know why you should do that heather you must know that i love you do you she said of course she knew it and of course she thought that he was equally sure of her love had he chosen to read signs that ought to have been plain enough to him could he have doubted her love after the few words that had been spoken on that night when lady carberry had come in with roger and interrupted them she could not remember exactly what had been said but she did remember that he had spoken of leaving england forever in a certain event and that she had not rebuked him and she remembered also how she had confessed her own love to her mother he of course had known nothing of that confession but he must have known that he had her heart so at least she thought she had been working some morsel of lace as ladies do when ladies wish to be not quite doing nothing she had endeavored to ply her needle very idly while he was speaking to her but now she allowed her hands to fall into her lap she would have continued to work at the lace had she been able but there are times when the eyes will not see clearly and when the hands will hardly act mechanically yes i do had a say a word to me can it be so look at me for one moment so as to let me know her eyes had turned downwards after her work if roger is dearer to you than i am i will go at once roger is very dear to me do you love him as i would have you love me she paused for a time knowing that his eyes were fixed upon her and then she answered the question in a low voice but very clearly no she said not like that can you love me like that he put out both his arms as though to take her to his breast should the answer be such as he longed to hear she raised her hand towards him as if to keep him back and left it with him when he seized it is it mine he said if you want it then he was at her feet in a moment kissing her hand and her dress looking up into her face with his eyes full of tears ecstatic with joy as though he had really never ventured to hope for such success want it he said had i have never wanted anything with that with real desire ahead of my own since i first saw you this has been my only dream of happiness and now it is my own she was very quiet but full of joy now that she had told him the truth she did not coy her love having once spoken the word she did not care how often she repeated it she did not think that she could ever have loved anybody but him even if he had not been fond of her as to roger dear roger dearest roger no it was not the same thing he is as good as gold she said ever so much better than you are paul stroking his hair with her hand and looking into his eyes better than anybody i have ever known said montague with all his energy i think he is but ah that is not everything i suppose we ought to love the best people best but i don't paul i do said he no you don't you must love me best but i won't be called good i do not know why it has been so do you know paul i have sometimes thought i would do as he would have me out of sheer gratitude i did not know how to refuse such a trifling thing the one who want to have everything that he wants where should i have been oh you somebody else would have made you happy but do you know paul i think he will never love anyone else i ought not to say so because it seems to be making so much of myself but i feel it he is not so young a man and yet i think that he never was in love before he almost told me so once and what he says is true there is an unchanging way with him that is awful to think of he said that he never could be happy unless i would do as he would have me and he made me almost believe even that he speaks as though every word he says must come true in the end oh paul i love you so dearly but i almost think that i ought to have obeyed him paul montague of course had very much to say in answer to this among the holy things which did exist to guild this everyday unholy world love was the holiest it should be soiled by no falsehood should know nothing of compromises should admit no excuses should make itself subject to no external circumstances a fortune had been so kind to him as to give him her heart poor as his claim might be she could have no right to refuse him the assurance of her love and though his rival were an angel he could have no shadow of a claim upon her seeing that he had failed to win her heart it was very well said at least so had a thought and she made no attempted argument against him but what was to be done in reference to poor roger she had spoken the word now and whether for good or bad she had given herself to paul montague even though roger should have to walk this consulate to the grave it could not now be helped but would it not be right that it should be told do you know i almost feel that he is like a father to me said heta leaning on her lover's shoulder paul thought it over for a few minutes and then said that he would himself write to roger heather do you know i doubt whether he will ever speak to me again i cannot believe that there is a sternness about him which it is very hard to understand he has taught himself to think that as i met you in his house and as he then wished you to be his wife i should not have ventured to love you how could i have known that would be unreasonable he is unreasonable about that it is not reason with him he always goes by his feelings had you been engaged to him oh then you never could have spoken to me like this but he will never look at it in that way and he will tell me that i have been untrue to him and ungrateful if you think paul nay listen to me if it be so i must bear it it will be a great sorrow but it will be as nothing to that other sorrow had that come upon me i will write to him and his answer will be all scorn and wrath then you must write to him afterwards i think he will forgive you but he will never forgive me then they parted she having promised that she would tell her mother directly lady carberry came home and paul undertaking to write to roger that evening and he did with infinite difficulty and much trembling of the spirit here is his letter my dear roger i think it right to tell you at once what has occurred today i have proposed to miss carvery and she has accepted me you have long known what my feelings were and i have also known yours i have known too that miss carberry has more than once declined to take your offer under these circumstances i cannot think that i have been untrue to friendship in what i have done or that i have proved myself ungrateful for the affectionate kindness which you have always shown me i am authorized by header to say that had i never spoken to her it must have been the same to you this was hardly a fair representation of what had been said but the writer looking back upon his interview with the lady thought that it had been implied i should not say so much by way of excusing myself but that you once said that should such a thing occur there must be a division between us ever after if i thought that you would adhere to that threat i should be very unhappy and headed would be miserable surely if a man loves he is bound to tell his love and to take the chance you would hardly have thought it manly in me if i had abstained dear friend take a day or two before you answer this and do not banish us from your heart if you can help it your affectionate friend paul montague roger carberry did not take a single day or a single hour to answer the letter he received it at breakfast and after rushing out on the terrace and walking there for a few minutes he hurried to his desk and wrote his reply as he did so his whole face was red with wrath and his eyes were glowing with indignation there was an old french saying that he who makes excuses as his own accuser you would not have written as you have done had you not felt yourself to be false and ungrateful you knew where my heart was and there you went and undermined my treasure and stole it away you have destroyed my life and i will never forgive you you tell me not to banish you both from my heart how dare you join yourself with her and speaking of my feelings she will never be banished from my heart she will be there morning noon and night and as is and will be my love to her so shall be my enmity to you roger carvery it was hardly a letter for a christian to write and yet in those parts roger carvery had the reputation of being a good christian henrietta told her mother that morning immediately on her return my mom mr paul montague has been here he always comes here when i am away said lady carvery that has been an accident he could not have known that you were going to message letterman leuters i am not so sure of that heather then mama you must have told him yourself and i don't think you knew till just before you were going but mama what does it matter he has been here and i have told him you have not accepted him yes mama without even asking me mama you knew i will not marry him without asking you how was i not to tell him when he asked me whether i loved him marry him how is it possible that you should marry him whatever he had got was in that affair of melmots and that has gone to the dogs he is a ruined man and for all i know may be compromised in all melmoth's wickedness oh mama do not say that but i do say it it is hard upon me i did think that you would try to comfort me after all this trouble with felix but you are as bad as he is or worse for you have not been thrown into temptation like that poor boy and you will break your cousin's heart poor roger i feel for him he that has been so true to us but you think nothing of that i think very much of my cousin roger and how do you show it or your love for me that would have been a home for us all now we must starve i suppose heather you have been worse to me even than

4xgAHAlcDN4 | https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4xgAHAlcDN4 | 04. Digital Logic : Home Solutions-1 | hello guys i'm ali multurim uh the instructor for this course and these lectures have been recorded uh in the memory of dr abdulhauser i have been taught by him so homework solutions one so in earlier lesson the homework is given this one so i will remark every homework as one two three four five six as the rest of the course so it would not be like that in the second lecture homework one it would be sequential throughout the lecture so that we could actually mark those things so homework one uh it's basically uh shown in the first example actually it's quite easy but the idea would be based on so if a is true any one of those so this one will be all true and if b and c is true b and c so if both are true this one so this one will be one so these four will be one because a is one and b and c if both of those are true then it's true and the rest of those are will be zero that's the homework one solution and for homework two let's do it so um i don't have much room here so just fold it there and write it from the homework given this one was a hallmark two and this is our bulb so let's solve it so first idea is either if either one of those is true then uh electricity goes by and uh if both of those are true then the light turns on so if either one or uh if either one of those true and uh both of those are true then the light will be on that's an idea so let me write this down s1 s2 s3 s4 so as you know uh from the previous concepts that since there are four variables so it should be 2 to the power 4 16 combinations okay so what i do is when i have more combinations i actually make divisions so that i don't make mistakes so since there are four so that's what i do so one two three four so each will contain um four of the pieces so this time i'm going to show you a faster way better faster way so we all know the this portion so these all are going to be zeros okay so these are also going to be zeros and this one will only flip if after two times so this one and this one always flip zero one and let me do the next one so this one will be zeros and this one will be all ones this time boom and if you just look at this portion this person is always repeating it is zero zero zero one one zero one one so when you do it many times it it will get into your mind you don't have to actually use those brainy concepts so this one will also going to be inferred this time boom but this one will be same the rest of the time and again here zero zero zero one one zero one and here all are going to be 1 so if you do it like this it will save you a lot of time rather than doing the first idea so 0 0 0 1 1 0 1 1. so if you use the first pattern like the interchanging 0 1 0 1 change it you'll end up with the same pattern but this time we do it many do it very fast so what would be l so first we have to determine that if s1 and s2 any one of those is true or not so in this case both of those are false so since both of those are false so there is no idea or we don't have to check many times so all of those are going to be false and here if you if you check it s two any of those is true so next idea is both of those has to be true so only this one only this one so this one will only be true and rest of those are going to be zeros okay so next okay so s1 is true so again it will be true if only if both of those s3 and 4 i choose only this one so this one will be only true and others are going to be false and uh here both of them are true doesn't matter we only have to care about this one because um this both have to be true to switch the light on so this one will only have one and others will have zeros we will have a nice set of patterns of the first one so it's really nice so if you have thank you for watching the video and if you like the video please make a blog post we would really appreciate it because that's the only appreciation that we're going to get from you guys give a thumbs up share it that's it if you don't like the video of course dislike it with the comments so that we understand what you don't like and we can make it better and the video is sponsored by developers organism so if you like us go to the facebook page and give a thumbs up that's it stay tuned | Md.

fKJ82cYOgAE | https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fKJ82cYOgAE | 07.1.8 Parallel-Chord Truss Analysis 24 Square Bays with 5-Bay Cantilevers | welcome back to our ongoing series of videos on the analysis of parallel chord trusses this particular video is based on chapter seven section one subsection 8 in which we will focus on the analysis of a 24 square bay truss with equal five bay cantilevers at each end this first slide shows half of the truss there's a support point here this is the symmetry line of the truss so basically we see this same thing mirrored over on the other side here are the five cantilevered bays and then seven of the fort of the bays the 14 bays between the support points you'll notice in the pattern we've set the diagonals in the cantilever in this direction so that they are working in tension and then on the other side of the support point between the supports we've run the diagonals in the opposite direction so that they are also working in tension we're assuming this is a steel truss we would prefer to have the long members working in tension because as we mentioned before steel is a very strong material typically we don't need very much material in the cross section as a consequence steel tends to be vulnerable to buckling because ironically because the material has such a high stress capacity we don't need very much of it in the cross section the cross section tends to be small and as a consequence in compression tends to be vulnerable to compression so we're trying to keep the compression members as short as possible so for example all these vertical members which are the short members are working in compression and the diagonals which are the long members are working in tension when we configure the truss in this way now we're going to zoom in a little bit to make it all more readable so we're going to start looking at the cantilever and we're going to begin right here because this is one of the few points where we really have enough information in order to solve the entire joint so this is joint a it has an applied load of 0.5 p downward in order to keep that joint in equilibrium this member must be pushing up on that with a 0.5 p force that means the joint is pushing back down on the member the member's in compression its equilibrium requires that the joint b be pushing up on it and then by action reaction pairs that means the member is pushing down on joint b so one way of looking at it is that as we have mentioned several times the members being two force members are more or less passing forces through so the force here has basically been transmitted down through this little column to this joint right here so we're expressing an upward force on joint a due to the member a downward force on joint b due to the member they are in turn pushing back on the member and putting it in a state of compression which we're indicating with this c and the magnitude of that force is 0.5 p now we need to continue on with joint a to resolve what's happening with this member it's clear that joint a has no applied forces in the horizontal direction if this member were applying a force it would cause point a or joint a to be unstable or to start moving so clearly that member has got to be a zero force member and we designate that in this way and sometimes i'll draw a little line along here i guess i was not consistent in this case but i'll put a line there to indicate that we have addressed the issues of equilibrium at this joint and we've addressed the impact of this member on that joint but as long as we understand this is zero force member when we get to this joint we will basically ignore the presence of this member because it's not contributing anything to the horizontal forces that are occurring at joint c so now we can jump down to joint b and we basically see that we have a half p downward force the only member that can equilibrate that is this diagonal which must have a 0.5 upward force or upward component so we draw the force along that length and in this book keeping system we put a 0.5 here to write to indicate the magnitude of the vertical component uh by the nature of the geometry of this diagonal since it's at 45 degrees the horizontal and the vertical components have to be equal in magnitude in order to create a force along the length of that member and of course we can use the pythagorean theorem or trigonometry to resolve what the total force in member b c is and it's 0.71 p and that member is in tension because that has to be the case it couldn't pull up on the joint b if it was not in tension and joint b is pulling down to the left on the member joint c is pulling up and to the right which is creating the state of tension in that member so now we need to resolve the horizontal forces here and that's pretty simple to do we had a 0.5 p component in the horizontal direction from this diagonal and that's the only horizontal force so far that we've identified on joint b so this member bd must be pushing to the left on the joint and it's in turn pushing to the right on joint d so now we've completely resolved joint b we could jump to d but we don't have enough information because we have two unknown verticals and two unknown horizontals so we're going to jump up to joint c instead when we do that we see that we have two verticals one is the supplied force of one p and then there's a downward vertical component from this diagonal of 0.5 so that's a total of 1.5 p pulling downward on c the only member that can equilibrate that is member cd which must be pushing up on joint c with a one and a half p force so uh basically that's this force right here and we jumped uh an image here and we're going to completely resolve the joint by saying that the horizontal component of this diagonal is being balanced by a pull due to this member and the one and a half p downward force due to the diagonal and the applied force is being equilibrated by this member which is pushing up with one and a half p and that completely resolves all the forces on joint c now we can jump down to joint d the vertical component dot one and a half p downward on joint d due to this vertical member has to be equilibrated by the vertical component of that member and so it has to be pulling up with 1.5 p to be along the diagonal it also has to be pulling to the right with 1.5 b and the pythagorean theorem says that the overall force in that member is 2.12 p and it's in tension now we need to resolve the horizontals here we have a and there's an arrow missing here there should have been an arrow to the right of 0.5 p and likewise we have a one and a half p from here due to the horizontal component of that diagonal so this member has to be pushing back on that joint with a 2p force so that takes care of the resolution of this joint and now we can jump up to e and we see that we have a one and a half p vertical component from the diagonal we have a 1p applied force so this member has to be pushing up with a two and a half p force in order to equilibrate that so we draw that in it must be pushing down on this joint also with a two and a half p force so we indicate that with this arrow now we need to resolve this member we have a 0.5 p force to the left due to the tension in this top chord pulling to the left on joint e the diagonal is also pulling to the left with a one and a half p horizontal component so the diagonal and the chord are conspiring together to produce a 2p force to the left on joint e and this member has to be pulling to the right with a 2p force so we draw that in and now we've taken care of all the equilibrium on this joint we can jump down to this one we see this two and a half p downward force on joint f has to be equilibrated by the diagonal which has to be pulling up and to the right and so we draw those forces in so this two and a half pe force is being equilibrated by the vertical component of this diagonal now we can resolve the horizontal forces we have a 2p force pushing to the right due to this member right here pushing to the right on joint f and then joint f is also being pulled to the right with a two and a half p force from this diagonal so that adds up to four and a half p and the only member that can equilibrate that is this one right here so it has to be pushing to the left with a four and a half p force and that means it's also pushing to the right with a four and a half p force on joint h now we can jump up to joint g and resolve the forces there with the vertical we have one p applied force two and a half p vertical downward force from the diagonal so one p plus two and a half p both downward is three and a half p this member is the only member that can equilibrate that it must be pushing up with a three and a half p force so we will indicate that with the arrow upward on joint g and an error arrow downward on joint h the magnitude of that force is three and a half p and the member can't be pushing unless something's pushing back on it so it's in a state of compression now we can finish off joint g by looking at the horizontal components we have a two and a half p horizontal component to the left from the diagonal a 2p horizontal force from the chord member both of those to the left on joint g so this member has to be pulling to the right with a four and a half d force so we indicate that arrow pulling to the right on joint g the member has to be pulling to the left on joint i and this member is in tension with a magnitude of four and a half feet now we can jump down and resolve the vertical forces at this joint we have a three and a half p downward force this diagonal is the only member that can equilibrate that it must be pulling up with a vertical component of three and a half p so when we throw that in we see a diagonal force along here upward and to the right with a three and a half p vertical component and a three and a half p horizontal component to keep it along the diagonal and the pythagorean theorem tells us that the total tension in that member has to be 4.95 p now to finish off this joint we've apparently jumped another image here also but we have a four and a half p force on joint h to the right due to the push of this bottom chord we have a three and a half p horizontal component to the right due to the tug or the pull of this diagonal those two things add together to give us an 8p force and the only member that can equilibrate it is this member which has to be pushing to the left with an 8p force we've now resolved this entire joint we can jump up to joint i and again we have a 1p downward applied force a three and a half p downward component due to the diagonal which is pulling down to the left those add up to four and a half p this is the only member that can equilibrate that so we draw that member in while we're about it we just went ahead and drew in the horizontal resolution because we have this member pulling to the left with four and a half p this member pulling to the left with three and a half p which adds up to eight p and the only member that can equilibrate that is this chord member which has to be pulling to the right with an eight p force now we can go resolve the components here there's a four and a half p downward force the diagonal has to be pulling up with a four and a half p force and it has to be pulling to the right with a four and a half p force to keep the force along the diagonal so we can draw that in and while we're about it we also threw in the horizontal resolution which was we have 8p to the right from this member pushing to the right on joint g this member on the diagonal is pulling to the right with a four and a half p and when we add eight and four and a half we get twelve and a half p now we cannot jump up to this joint because we don't have enough information but this joint is really easy to do we only have one horizontal member that can equilibrate this push to the right of 12 and a half p and that's this member right here and we only have one vertical member that can equilibrate this 12 p force and so that 12 p force has to be generated by a downward force from this member and then this force will be equilibrated by a 12 and a half p push to the left so joints like this we immediately could have started with this joint because we knew that these two horizontals had to balance each other well excuse me we knew these these vertical forces had to resolve in this way but until we'd gone all the way through solving this we didn't know what the horizontal components would be we knew they had to be equal to each other by the nature of the geometry of what's going on at this joint but we didn't know that this was 12 and a half p until we had stepped our way through the entire truss so now we resolve this joint we can resolve the vertical components up here we have a 1p downward force a 4 and a half p downward force and a 12 p upward force so if i'm doing my arithmetic right that should be a six and a half p net upward force because we got five and a half p down and we got 12 up and so when we go resolve that joint we get a six and a half p vertical component and by geometry the horizontal has to be the same and now we can resolve this member right here we have 8p to the left and four and a half p to the left which gives us 12 and a half p if i'm doing my arithmetic to the left but then we've got six and a half p to the right so 12 and a half minus six and a half leaves us with a net required force of six p to the right so let's do that one more time we got eight p and four and a half p to the left we got a six and a half p to the right that leaves us with a net of 6p to the left so this member has to be pulling to the right on this joint with a 6p force now we can jump down and resolve this joint we have a six and a half p upward force from this diagonal this member has to be pushing down with that and horizontal force wise we've got 12 and a half p to the right six and a half p to the left which leaves us with a need for a six p force to the left which can only be exerted by this member pushing to the left on that joint so we put that six p force in and now we jump up to this joint we resolve the verticals uh six and a half p up one p down so that's a net five and a half p up this diagonal has to work in tension to equilibrate that so it's pulling down with a five and a half p force and then by geometry we know that the vertical and the horizontal have to be the same so now we can jump to this member and we see that it's five and a half p to the right six p to the left that leaves a half a p force to the left so this member must be pulling to the right with a half of p force and we draw it in like that now this is a very small force and actually in some members for some geometries will actually have everything working out perfectly where we have a zero force member here but in this case that's not exactly the situation but what we did was we had a rapid build up of tensile force and then once we pass over the support we start throwing in compressive components that equilibrate some of that and so the tensile force is going down and by the time we get to the next bay it will actually be compressive force and let's see if we're showing that so here's here we're showing up through bay q so we got m and q and then to get it all in readable form in this image we've repeated m and q here so this .5 p segment is that one right there and this is where we make the transition that we're going from tension now to compression all the way through the center now one of the things i want you to note is that the 12 and a half p compressive force on the bottom here is almost equal to the 12p compressive force in the middle and so we are very close to a an almost optimal solution in terms of the cantilevers in that the the compressive force on the bottom here is about equal to the compressive force on the top there which is that sort of balanced situation that we were looking for where we slid the supports into the optimal location so that the moment at the center is equal roughly to the moment of the supports we're not perfectly there and we can't get perfectly there because it's inherent in the nature of trusses that these supports have to occur on vertices here and it would turn out that the absolute optimal point would just be slightly to the to the left of this vertex but we don't support trusses in that way so it just turns out that five uh two five bay trusses in a truss with an overall length of 24 bays is very close to the optimal cantilever all right so we can now express what that might look like in graphic form um here we have a simple span truss with huge chord forces as we begin to slide the supports in the chord forces get smaller and we start to get minute negative or reverse chord forces over the support so we have compression here on the top and compression here on the bottom and what we're looking at there by the way is is the optimal kind of situation here where we're five bays in we got a five bay cantilever here a five bay cantilever there 14 bays in between and our chord forces in compression on the bottom here about match the chord forces in compression on the top there if we keep going and we slide it into six bays we're at that point where we have 12 bays that are balanced over this support 12 bays that are balanced over that support and we essentially have zero chord forces at the center at least in the top here so these two bays are zero chord force that bay is zero chord force and that one is also on the top chord and of course if we keep sliding them in we end up with a situation where the chord forces are as bad for these cantilevers as they are for the simple span deflection wise we see similar pretty dramatic results our optimal situation has almost no deflection at the ends of the cantilevers we have very large deflection for this full simple span very large deflection for the cantilever situation where we have um the full maximum potential cantilever so this solution right here is optimal both in terms of minimizing chord forces but also minimizing movement out near the ends of the truss now sometimes we're not sort of dealing with a situation like this where we're saying let's play games with sliding the supports in sometimes we don't have that option maybe we needed a space this size but there are other ways to play this game and one of them is we can say well we need this space and we might want some cantilevers out here you know this might be a loading dock for something or a place to park cars or some kind of covered canopy for the outside so the an interesting question becomes do we want to start adding cantilevers out here and of course your first thought is well we add a cantilever and that costs money but an interesting thing is if you add enough cantilever you can very substantially reduce the loads that occur between the support so instead of this very large force in the cord member we have something substantially smaller so we can have material savings on the structure between the support that can help pay for part of this cantilever and we may decide that that's something we want to do again we have this situation where the sort of optimal cantilever which is which is down at the bottom in this case where this force and that force are about equal is the situation where we're getting the least movement out at the end of the cantilever now i mentioned earlier that we can't um we can never get the optimal cantilever in a truss because the truss is kind of a quantum system where we're going to support at a joint and that means the cantilever is either one two three four five six bays but it's not 5.87 bays but what we can do is we can look at this whole idea from a point of view of what might the optimal be so in this column what i've written up is n which is the total number of bays in the truss and i just went linearly from 10 down to 44 and then i put in 0.29 times n because that would be the optimal single cantilever and 0.207 in and basically i'm looking for something that approximates integer numbers so for example let's take a bad case if we had a 12 bay truss and we wanted to have a single cantilever that was optimal if i just multiply 0.29 times 12 it tells me that the optimum is 3.48 bays but we know we're not going to support 3.48 bays in the cantilever it's either going to be 3 or 4. so we don't have an optimal single cantilever or anything close to it for a 12 bay truss and we've got similar problems over here for a 12 bay truss with two cantilevers because when we multiply 0.207 times n where n is 12 we get 2.48 bays is optimal which is about two and a half bays but we don't support it like that so we'd have to choose either two or three but we run this number of bays from 10 to 44 and then we multiply 0.29 times that and we get a bunch of numbers here and then we multiply 0.207 times that we get a bunch of numbers here and then we look for anything that's close to an integer so for example 4.06 is fairly close to an integer so we might say well a 14 bay truss with a 4 bay cantilever is not too bad for the 17 bay truss we add 4.93 which we can say well that's pretty close to five so we'll say a five bay cantilever is close to optimal for 17 bays if we jump over here um and look at double cantilevers we get 2.07 for 10 and so a 2 bay cantilever is not very far off we know that we're looking for a 20.7 cantilever uh two bay cantilevers and a 10 bay truss are 20 which is pretty close to uh 20.7 likewise 2.9 it's close to three so for a 14 bay truss we could have two three bay cantilevers and be close to optimal and we keep that process going the one we just looked at was a 24 bay truss when we multiply 0.29 times 24 we get 6.96 which is very close to 7. so a 24 bay truss is kind of neat because a 7-bay cantilever for a simple for a single cantilever is pretty close to optimal and five bays on each end as two as a cantilever on each end is very close to optimal it's actually the optimum according to multiplying that that number times this number the optimum is 4.97 which we're rounding to 5. so in other words these numbers corroborate what we just demonstrated in our solution which is that the um two five bay cantilevers on a 24 bay truss is very close to optimum in terms of balancing the compressive forces in the top cord between the two supports versus the compressive forces over in the bottom cord over the support that ends our video on the analysis of a 24 square bay parallel cord truss with equal five bay cantilevers at each end | NCStateArchitecture | UCL9VPynKJyN5L-IEF4IG82A | 2021-08-15 | Creative Commons Attribution license (reuse allowed) | en | metadata | en | 4,537 | 22,527 |
FRYu2UtUNEI | https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FRYu2UtUNEI | Bioethical | Wikipedia audio article | bioethics as the study of the ethical issues emerging from advances in biology and medicine it is also moral discernment as it relates to medical policy and practice bioethics are concerned with the ethical questions that arise in the relationships among life sciences biotechnology medicine politics law and philosophy it includes the study of values the ethics of the ordinary relating to primary care and other branches of Medicine ethics also relates to many other sciences outside the realm of biological sciences topic etymology the term bioethics Greek BIOS life ethos behavior was coined in 1926 by Fritz yar in an article about a bio ethical imperative regarding the use of animals and plants in scientific research in 1970 the American biochemist van Rensselaer Potter used the term to describe the relationship between the biosphere and a growing human population Potter's work laid the foundation for global ethics a discipline centered around the link between biology ecology medicine and human values Sargent Shriver the spouse of eunice Kennedy Shriver claimed that he had invented the word bioethics in the living room of his home in Bethesda Maryland in 1970 he stated that he thought of the word after returning from a discussion earlier that evening at Georgetown University where he discussed with others a possible Kennedy family sponsorship of an institute focused around the application of moral philosophy to concrete medical dilemmas topic purpose and scope the field of bioethics has addressed a broad swath of human inquiry ranging from debates over the boundaries of life eg abortion euthanasia surrogacy the allocation of scarce healthcare resources eg organ donation healthcare rationing - the right to refuse medical care for religious or cultural reasons bioethicists often disagree among themselves over the precise limits of their discipline debating whether the field should concern itself with the ethical evaluation of all questions involving biology and medicine or only a subset of these questions some bioethicists would narrow ethical evaluation only to the morality of medical treatments or technological innovations and the timing of medical treatment of humans others would broaden the scope of ethical evaluation to include the morality of all actions that might help or harm organisms capable of feeling fear the scope of bioethics can expand with biotechnology including cloning gene therapy life extension human genetic engineering Astro ethics and life in space and manipulation of basic biology through altered DNA XNA and proteins these developments will affect future evolution and may require new principles that address life at its core such as biotic ethics that values life itself at its basic biological processes and structures and seeks their propagation topic principles one of the first areas addressed by modern bioethicists was that of human experimentation the National Commission for the protection of human subjects of biomedical and behavioral research was initially established in 1974 to identify the basic ethical principles that should underlie the conduct of biomedical and behavioral research involving human subjects however the fundamental principles announced in the Belmont report 1979 namely respect for persons beneficence and justice have influenced the thinking of bioethicists across a wide range of issues others have added non-maleficence human dignity and the sanctity of life to this list of cardinal values overall the Belmont report 1979 has guided research in a direction focused on protecting vulnerable subjects as well as pushing for transparency between the researcher and the subject research has flourished within the past 40 years and due to the advance in technology it is thought that human subjects have outgrown the Belmont report 1979 and the need for revision as desired another important principle of bioethics as its placement of value on discussion and presentation numerous discussion based bioethics groups exist in universities across the United States to champion exactly such goals examples include the Ohio State bioethics society and the bioethics Society of Cornell professional level versions of these organizations also exist many bioethicists especially medical scholars accord the highest priority to autonomy they believe that each patient should determine which course of action they consider most in line with their beliefs in other words the patient should always have the freedom to choose their own treatment topic medical ethics medical ethics as the study of moral values and judgments as they apply to medicine the four main moral commitments are respect for autonomy beneficence non-maleficence and justice using these four principles and thinking about what the physicians specific concern is for their scope of practice can help physicians make moral decisions as a scholarly discipline medical ethics encompasses its practical application in clinical settings as well as work on its history philosophy theology and sociology medical ethics tends to be understood narrowly as an applied professional ethics whereas bioethics has a more expansive application touching upon the philosophy of science and issues of biotechnology the two fields often overlap and the distinction is more so a matter of style than professional consensus medical ethics shares many principles with other branches of healthcare ethics such as nursing ethics a bioethicists assists the health care and research community in examining moral issues involved in our understanding of life and death and resolving ethical dilemmas in medicine and science examples of this would be the topic of equality in medicine the intersection of cultural practices and medical care and issues of bioterrorism topic perspectives and methodology bioethicists come from a wide variety of backgrounds and have training in a diverse array of disciplines the field contains individuals trained in philosophy such as h Tristram Englehart jr. of Rice University Baruch Brody of Rice University Peter singer of Princeton University Daniel Callahan of the Hastings Center and Daniel Brock of Harvard University medically trained clinician ethicists such as Marc Sigler of the University of Chicago and Joseph ins of Cornell University lawyers such as Nancy doubler of Albert Einstein College of Medicine or jerry menikoff of the federal office of human research protections political scientists like francis fukuyama religious studies scholars including James Childress public intellectuals like Amitai Etzioni of the george washington university and theologians like lisa sol cahill and stanley hor wass the field formerly dominated by formally trained philosophers has become increasingly interdisciplinary with some critics even claiming that the methods of analytic philosophy have had a negative effect on the fields development leading journals in the field include the Journal of medicine and philosophy the Hastings Center report the American Journal of bioethics the Journal of medical ethics bioethics the Kennedy Institute of ethics Journal and the Cambridge quarterly of healthcare ethics bioethics has also benefited from the process philosophy developed by alfred north whitehead many religious communities have their own histories of inquiry into bioethical issues and have developed rules and guidelines on how to deal with these issues from within the viewpoint of their respective faiths the Jewish Christian and Muslim faiths have each developed a considerable body of literature on these matters in the case of many non-western cultures a strict separation of religion from philosophy does not exist in many Asian cultures for example there is a lively discussion on bioethical issues Buddhist bioethics in general is characterized by a naturalistic outlook that leads to a rationalistic pragmatic approach Buddhists bioethicists include Damien Qian in India Vandana Shiva as a leading bioethicists speaking from the Hindu tradition in Africa and partly also in Latin America the debate on bioethics frequently focuses on its practical relevance in the context of under development and geopolitical power relations Masahiro mori oka argues that in Japan the bioethics movement was first launched by disability activists and feminists in the early 1970s while academic bioethics began in the mid-1980s during this period unique philosophical discussions on brain death and disability appeared both in the academy and journalism some argue that spirituality and understanding one another as spiritual beings and moral agents as an important aspect of bioethics and that spirituality and bioethics are heavily intertwined with one another as a health care provider it is important to know and understand varying worldviews and religious beliefs having this knowledge and understanding can empower health care providers with the ability to better treat and serve their patients developing a connection and understanding of a patient's moral agent helps enhance the care provided to the patient without this connection or understanding patients can be at risk of becoming faceless units of work and being looked at as a set of medical conditions as opposed to the storied and spiritual beings that they are topic Islamic bioethics Islamic bioethics is heavily influenced and connected to the teachings of the Quran as well as the teachings of Prophet Muhammad these influences essentially make it an extension of Sharia or Islamic law in Islamic bioethics passages from the Quran are often used to validate various medical practices for example a passage from the Quran states whosoever killeth a human being it shall be as if he had killed all humankind and whosoever saveth the life of one it shall be as if he saved the life of all humankind this excerpt can be used to encourage using medicine and medical practices to save lives but can also be looked at as a protest against euthanasia and assisted suicide in an effort to react to new technological and medical advancements informed Islamic jurists regularly will hold conferences to discuss new bioethical issues and come to an agreement on where they stand on the issue from an Islamic perspective this allows Islamic bioethics to stay pliable and responsive to new advancements in medicine the stand points taken by Islamic jurists on bioethical issues are not always unanimous decisions and at times may differ there is much diversity among Muslims varying from country to country and the different degrees to which they adhere by Sharia differences in disagreements in regards to jurisprudence theology and ethics between the two main branches of Islam Sunni and Shia lead to differences in the methods and ways in which Islamic bioethics is practiced throughout the Islamic world topic education bioethics has taught in courses at the undergraduate and graduate level in different academic disciplines or programs such as philosophy medicine law social sciences it has become a requirement for professional accreditation in many health professional programs medicine nursing rehabilitation to have obligatory training in ethics eg professional ethics medical ethics clinical ethics nursing ethics interest in the field and professional opportunities have led to the development of dedicated programs with concentrations in bioethics largely in the United States and Europe offering undergraduate majors minors graduate certificates and master's and Doctorate degrees every Medical School in Canada teaches bioethics so that students can gain an understanding of biomedical ethics and use the knowledge gained in their future careers to provide better patient care Canadian residency training programs are required to teach bioethics as it is one of the conditions of accreditation and as a requirement by the College of Family Physicians of Canada and by the Royal College of Physicians and Surgeons of Canada topic criticism as a study bioethics has also drawn criticism for instance Paul Farmer noted that bioethics tends to focus its attention on problems that arise from too much care for patients and industrialized nations while giving little or no attention to the ethical problem of too little care for the poor farmer characterizes the bioethics of handling morally difficult clinical situations normally in hospitals in industrialized countries as quandary ethics he does not regard quandary ethics and clinical bioethics as unimportant he argues rather that bioethics must be balanced and give due weight to the poor additionally bioethics has been condemned for its lack of diversity and thought particularly with regards to race even as the field has grown to include the areas of public opinion policymaking and medical decisions little to no academic writing has been authored concerning the intersection between race especially the cultural values imbued in that construct and bioethical literature John Hoberman illustrates this in a 2016 critique in which he points out that bioethicists have been traditionally resistant to expanding their discourse to include sociological and historically relevant applications central to this is the notion of white normativity which establishes the dominance of white hegemonic structures in bioethical academia and tends to reinforce existing biases however differing views on bioethics lack of diversity of thought and social inclusivity have also been advanced thought historian Heikki Saxon has argued that the diversity of thought and social inclusivity are the two essential cornerstones of bioethics albeit they have not been fully realized some criticisms have been made about the experience of disability some people in the disabled community feel that mainstream bioethics embraces AB lysed premises about medical care and resources thinkers such as Princeton's Peter Singer who has argued that parents have the right to choose healthy children over disabled ones have upset people with disabilities who feel threatened by his position topic issues areas of Health Sciences that are the subject of published peer-reviewed bio ethical analysis

PjyLxxZbaRM | https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PjyLxxZbaRM | WNF EP10 - Kiraflax (ROB) Vs. Mexican (Ike) Winners Side - Smash Ultimate | I really feel like you kind of have to play hit or dark pit a lot to the fuel the comparison and pretty much for all of December I put a lot of time in the pit [Music] winterside beste three out of here and pull your trigger brother I'm not saying it is high tier competitively Bible [Music] anyway note pit for game number one Rob is out here yeah you remember when Ike was it thing that's gonna clear from the le is really travel to many more events rarely tournaments around that earlier see them out here coming out to Santa come out Santa Anna so whatever like it's like that's really big in any place I daresay it work slightly right now 40 reflects robot and pretty good drop out to the platform next comes away with the grant he reflects in his turn right maybe we'll a foot but but but wait pretty healthy lead with rage on deck for hike what kind of lunch right now considering zone the gyro laser zoning has not really been a factor so far and I was a bigger a character like I had some rain for the speed lacking you can just kind of poke away in boat you have a lot more trouble good he's navigating it very well keep it the shower Oh take care of Lex didn't go in far by it that far from home their recovery options are eating linear though oh I mean he really went for it definitely care flag surprisingly enough did not put his controller down gyro Perry no thanks laser catches and a gyro [Music] drop down into the back here and then back to the stage the old the old trusty flex with a sizable lead but you cannot count out Gil power that is get something going those when they're up there is at 80 90 throw their arm better get shielded up is the opportunity Mexicans looking to do some work here flags breaks up the play its back towards neutral down tilt down tilt remix throws a gyro out its the grab can we bury that we mash next thing is like no master it's for the culture 20 hottest job both as a special meter gonna throw their flags try to come back of every reversal next in close for that in uh-oh pretty wild to find out 6.9 she reflexively slate shake the head now you know Ralph has some very good recovery options if you hang out there for a while but you know you know another pair of characters that can do that as well and could be a viable option here going into game number two for Kiera flex-fuel Rob nope rip can I get one feels bad man like just one in the chat like if I see two that's one [Music] back in the neutral and it's the combo going for Mexican who is all alone these tech chasers dear flex waiting for his turn to play the game patient [Music] spacey game is on point right now he just seemed to know the exact space he needs to have to fish for an option he gets a hit you can follow up oh I don't know about these forests man to chop their last one up to it this enjoy your tea reflects the opportunity to even things up but already back to before there was some back [Music] gyro by the way mixing up the recovery pushes in forward clear flex with the advantage state air dodge you've met some a gyro to Nair Jane's shooting like did April in Kaleo [Music] and I just do the lazy [Music] well educated in this match in pencil [Music] my name put draw over the gyros he grabs and the to stone pile driver [Music] Geir place the guy that has been in a few videos being extra salty game-2 Oh berries gonna commit I always forget how short the in leg is in that foot drop make it touch the ground trip a pair can get shielded up Mexican looks to know all the approach options here flags starting to bring things back those with the green gyro mom on the head get shielded their flags coming through those 73% back hair punishes the spot dark the game I could project [Music] what I know that back here strong but good green here flash witnessed a winner side has to stocks the go through to do it thanks kid is showing his all the patience in the world right now no rush he doesn't have to give up anything dear flex ask to come to him and he's looking very ready for these gyro laser eyes oh no reason Barry cost him his second stockinette alkie reflects finds his way into game number three the forward air chain says major to follow it roasted by the neutral air laser and showing a punish it's turned into a very fast-paced game too [Music] the jet now starting to do some work you from here phalanx gyro actually turns into a beat up til top air G reflects equipped to eight times zoom scope usually start the landings lazy back here that's gonna get broken up by the get up attack Mexico but for the neutral air to finish things off can't find it just yet Mexican goes for the roll their Flags trying to read [Music] careful I just push the gyro for ya [Music] yeah Mexican like sniff berry now I've seen some games and Super Smash Brothers ultimate before the new Nintendo switch made by the good folks over there then Tendo in in some very interesting ways but to see a Rob just sink like a brick randomly and then the sea I forget that he he only has the one jump and game - why don't stuff tonight yes Arriflex moving over to the dark pit for themself a bit more speeds from solid neutral options this can be a rough matchup though if Mexican is able to read out cure flags approaches because dark pit is really going into the Lions theme it's like if he goes in and fishes for an air something like that that doesn't go exactly the way compotes and shiny yellow sword is coming back at it is white stretcher their time just it down the Rope here flex trying to take ground and into the time moves forward shields Mexican answers back though is a solid weed valera no punish forward air off the ledge chair flanks once the advantage state runs up just to grab down the road and too late a follow that's mileage that's my lid certain Mexican after it all gets back on pretty much - attack solid di back to later push them off it's the arrow quick-draw by the way right forward tilt apparently Kira Flags ran in like what's he gonna do what's gonna do just for tilt me in my face doesn't pay off this time did you just try to counter the air a delayed neutral air antenna spacing sound back bachelor party Mexicans like that's one Comerica forward airspace and quick draw it all bored throw at the ledge only down 45 point 60 reflects very much in a position to take his game if you get some momentum going he's local seen his combos from dark pit and rack up the damage the double-jump drop something in there she goes by the way the parries on this team it's back to the true error three-man they're fair now I saw I saw the side become out the dark pit I feel like that could be the old ace in the hole that's two dukes and that's not fair because Kira flash can't even lease he's wearing sandals can't leave something maintenance so it's good for the ankle breakers like [Music] specialty stuff I would catch on makes it look we get the chip away percentage where you can and out risking too much especially at the ledge we're back Thank You reflexes it's the opening he's looking for down so unable to further the capital lines out of the near spot dodge gets around the ramp one two and three next get it back to a more patient style if you can wade in with the backyard it's much off it though XP today percentage [Music] grabbed off the reading route 81 you're you're not safe look I just want to say doc could ask some stuff dark-dark could ask some stuff okay | 2GGaming | UClIuCiBN-UIsTZb0WlhRo0Q | 2020-04-12 | Creative Commons

mile long always being a ludicrously long 2 and A2 miles these long hallways housing 91 rooms many locations to be lost many locations to hide and many locations for Vin to panic in oh he's breaking the door there let's get out of you could you explain how the zombie apocalypse mod affects gameplay the starters You're Not Safe you go outside you're going to get swarmed you go inside they work their way in you got some light levels 10 more will will spawn in the place of War so um I I I oh I hit my like I I would like it to become day please and I would like more frames some frames and daylight would be amazing anyone in there red friend red friend it's day one I've explored a single Lobby holy [ __ ] the noise it is fine I jumped wait is that how you jump you actually jump yes I've learned controls anyway this is a lot harder than I thought it was going to be the controls are I don't know when I'm sprinting or when I'm not sprinting and I now got my red friend who is somewhere I don't know where he is uh um he's somewhere uh that's it for day one I will see you in a few days time hopefully see you night can I say hello where where where did you go red friend I lost red friend

I'm shouting I I cannot hear anything it's kind of been like that for a moment cuz what I I can give you an example of what I hear editor which is me play what I am hearing this is my life this is what I live with and a rack on my head and then and then we go back to like what you here it's night time which means things are coming to kill me that means I survived 2 Days in VR that's twice as long as I survived before I don't know that's saying anything we need to name you I know names in the chat sketchy Vincent be theii or Frederick Lord of all destroyer of the universe we don't care if we make it the 100 days but if he doesn't make 100 days i' I've failed I've just failed there's no more detail that would just be a failure if he doesn't survive I should probably walk stop walking around with the sword if that's the casee but you know again didn't mean to do that the Halls it's a very long Hall lots of rooms can't see what's in them so I am going to be stupidly cautious per se uh is that I think the best way to do it is we have the hallway right and then we block off the bit before light up behind it and then we have a tunnel of light protecting us from the back and then blocks doing it from the thing and we work our way slowly from room to room as we go hopefully then we shouldn't get any nasty jump scares or like things sneaking up on us it should be fine that's that's that's that's my priority is is surviving it may be I maybe call me a coward I already called myself one so I win that anyway yep see you so uh looking there looking there we have now offici ran out of blocks in the future I will be using chairs there's a chair there is [Music] it help I stuck on a chair what do I do press every button button spam button spam button spam button spam button spam button spam bam spam never again do not let that happen to me again please please please I know want that happening I'm saving a qu look at him there's an arm oh my God what are you what

outside how many are there there can't be much more of you right it's making really peeling a case for like leaving outside I am so justified in wanting to leave this room still keep thinking there a

so sorry I'm just explaining I feel like if I go outside my frames will go from like 35 to like nothing have it be known I think this is stupid and I'm just I'm just going to crouch just just going to

rat out him again yeah I know you will hate me I get it I get it a lot actually a lot of people hate my accent it's fine I didn't realize I had an accent and now I'm really aware that I have an accent a lot of people find me really annoying to be fair I play Minecraft so what do you expect peekaboo I See [Music] You You Shook at me I'm all my blocks I want my blocks back for carrying all the trees do you know how hard I'm working for those trees of course you had to land all the way over there what you should do in the zombie apocalypse is live in the trees because I don't know if zombies have the muscle strength to hold the head up I don't have the musle strength to maintain good posture while doing this even though I probably should but I don't uh I see something looking at me over there oh my God it's a fuing firefly there's eyes over there and then there's just a firefly there it's fine day 10 it's looking up here as you can see I am in the tree farm I have set up a tree farm cuz I desperately need torches for my plan to work so I can get charcoal from the trees I think that's the only way I can make torches but I have literally done nothing it's day 10 which I don't know how many minutes that counts up in total I can't be bothered to do the math right now but I haven't even done the first hallway I've nearly finished the first hallway how am I going to get this all done in time I just haven't accomplished anything and I don't know how far I've really gone cuz everything looks the same can I see over I can't really see that much and get a proper B okay so now we're one block closer I love VR I can be like super sneaky anything in here of need no the flamingo the flamingo Al come on we don't want to be in there Frederick I'm sorry my boy there's nothing down here it's just exactly the same as what I've been through except from a bit more spookier is that purposeful is it purposely meant to be Mis really misleading we have got one hallway done look I am brilant I don't know how the camera is doing this but this is amazing I just have like that over there to do and it it looks exactly the same and I have no clue if that's intentional to drive me insane because I kept getting lost and there a corner there's a corner there I should not get lost cuz there is a corner I don't know how that would stop me getting lost but I have literally walked into a door and then I walked into a pillar and then my rat got stuck on a wall I hear zombies constantly I don't know if they're upstairs I don't know if they're downstairs I don't know if they're in the room next to me I don't know if they're behind me they are just everywhere and the noise is driving me insane which is probably appropriate it hurts my head anyway so when a zombie does show up it sciss the life out of me hello turn light on hide in here can I sleep there's monsters nearby who would have guessed I bet they're right here yes I was right that was a pathetic scream oh my God my rat just killed the monster and then ate it should I be worried about you do you need therapy uh I I believe it's day 15 maybe I have found out a very important Discovery it's nothing to do with that I completed the next hallway you see I I completed the next hallway and a zombie disappeared over there but it's fine more importantly Franklin the rat can kill zombies but yeah I I got this like side Ward I have to do I don't know what it's called wish me luck so how does this section work so I really don't like pressure plates cin you want to go first why do I hear a lot of zombies like a lot of zombies why do sounds have to be like did I see something moving H it was good I blocked up a door but I have found zombies breaking down a door Frederick Frederick calm down he's a killing machine I need you to be calm you can't take on all of these maybe if I go here then like I can Frederick Frederick oh my god did he just eat all the backs Frederick you are all destroyable we are such a good team and you recycle the bad guys anybody outside yes there is people outside of course there is well that looks om ominous omom ominous okay Frederick you ready to explore we've got a whole side building to explore and it's not creepy at all Frederick the MPV we just boop [Music] boop super snaky Frederick don't you agree we're like I don't know what we're like I know you're the God Eater basically you are basically fredi I'll tell you something oh hi Henderson mod was suggested to me by VIN for the mod pack initially after she had watched some ghost hunting videos the mod eily reflected the Ghost Stories of the location to an uncanny degree what what are you what are you you are freaky so you can see me through the window like most definitely right can you come in here Frederick can they come in here sounds oh my God that's [Music] horrible oh my God that's horrible I'm going in here I'm closing the door frerick frerick good boy I want torches yes this is a good thing for me they see me through doors I don't think they can see they can see me through doors frerick frerick what's going on anything in here Frederick come on we close the door we're just being safe okay we're being safe something just spawn there I want to leave this area please if there's those guys there then they might have a chance of spawning inside let's just uh close that and then uh close that and look in here night time good to know I have Frederick somewhere is fine anything anything no a nice relaxing B I feel so relaxed don't you feel relaxed I feel ever so relaxed and spawner yeah no I I don't want to be here I don't want to be here I feel like the danger levels are gone on right up right up there uh time wait a minute uh I think it's stage 21 okay I I've completed the whole half of the first floor uh insert name of wards um and I thought that would be fine I I thought that would be good and it it would be safe afterwards right uh issue I thought I'd lit everything up correctly uh there was still zombies on the way back wanting to kill me oh dear we have a lot creeping their way in I'm ready to fight for my honor to prove I am a good rat owner fine Project's probably somewhere fine actually this is time to try this out right oh that did good it's a war Fredick come in here no wins or loses I don't know what's doing more damage I'm not paying attention I think it's good eating the Flesh of your enemies has helped you survive another day Frederick you're going to poop aren't you I am very brave don't you see that is me walking past where the zombies came from there's a chicken in the wool why but I have finished the whole bottom level the bottom level is finished issue the game decided before you're going up to the next level we've got some things to throw at you cuz it's fine darling Franklin you're amazing so they decided that Franklin's awesome they decided that a blood moon was appropriate and oh my God if I didn't want to go outside before I don't want to go outside now think about it you would think you'd see more zombies right no it was like we're going to show you everything that you haven't seen yet so it has more of those guys running around on the floor you know that creepy thing that I saw that I said what are you and then disappeared we had one of those guys we had a horse SL Pig mutant thing walking around and it had lots of zombies but then they all got glowing eyes blue or pink and Reverb they somehow the power of the Moon gave them Reverb I want Reverb on full moons that'd be awesome and then there was these spider things now I thought spiders won be able to deal with them they're green and they can fly why uh no I shouldn't shout that I apologize well Bo you were the best rat oh yeah and there was another rat fighting like another thing but I thought oh it's going to all be over it would be great uh there was a guy who interrupted my fishing and he's he was freaky and now they invade my tree tunnels on a regular basis so uh I keep losing dirt which is limiting the amount of trees I can grow which isn't an issue at all for someone who needs like 20,000 torches anyway I I think I'm uh Franklin say hi to the camera no the away yeah I know are you camera shy or do you just hate me I was I was waiting for him to turn and Nod I'm fishing I feel calm and Serene let me sit down and watch the fish oh look down the window I'm fishing to stay calm because you're creepy I don't know what's still and it's what is that what's that what's that what's that are we having a blood moon we're having a Blood Moon ah I'm staying in here oh my God what was that Frederick there's a rat fighting other things I just want something kill a rat I'm looking in eyes this spiders and there's a horse thing oh F your sorry I lost my composure I'll go and have a cup of tea in a minute let's get going we need to find some stairs to the next level if I die someone take care of Frederick it's okay we're Brave day 31 I'm on second level there was another Blood Moon which was a lovely I I survived it and I I hidden here oh you can see the walls I took down hey I needed the blocks don't blame me uh and I I started exploring the next level and that's fine I am having issues that I only can film now for like an hour 15 because the nausea emotion sickness is really really getting to me I am now a wimp but it's fine I will work it out um I just need to go a lot faster cuz it's day 31 out of 100 and I've done nothing so uh I'm going to try my best to speed everything up yeah Franklin sit he's [Music] cool ow ow ow ow ow okay you can't get over walls [Music] right wa come on tippy toes tippy toes okay it's not oh my God here comes another one they're out for a mission aren't they he okay Franklin help me thank you there is definitely a spawner in there if we can work out where it is or [Music] not is it there I'm a genius I just looked for the particles who now just to clear out all the endermites in here oh my god oh flipping flu nuts oh my God what that have we just discovered jeez oh and that's the other building I don't trust weirdly shaped rooms we more cheese I'll take it a rat hole it's more rat okay so I've completed the second level and it was really really worth it while there wasn't much hauntings like it's it's the location's meant to get like haunted more you go up um I have found another rat prisilla I I don't know if I've revealed the name yet but I got another rat which is my priority now you may be thinking how was I able to get the whole thing done super super quickly well it's actually really really dumb I uh I lost all my uh footage so hi Franklin uh originally This was meant to be a play through on my computer rather than VR I wanted to do 24 hours here and then like publish two videos I lost my first run through of the footage when I died on day 98 was no it was 89 not9 because I put all the audio on one track so the whole time you just hear a like zombie noises and a microphone like non-existent so if I want to show everyone this location and all the work that went into it I have to be brave grow a pair however you want to phrase it I need to start seriously stop being scared did you hear about uh Vin sketch losing the footage for the first run through losing fo yes I heard about the footage which is a shame since some there were some good moments 33 hours 3 33 hours yes 33 hours of work lost originally I don't think I was going to be able to explore the location at all like the rest of the location at all I thought I was going to be stuck in the main building for the whole time and I thought oh it's fine because I'm only doing 24-hour VR thing to see what it's like in this I have the 100 days on the computer done even though I died uh day 89 but I was like oh people will see the whole experience and now what am I going to do yeah I remember you coming to me fairly distraught about the footage being messed up I 33 hours I know I was into editing and got all the stuff [Music] [Applause] anyway hello you have no Health compared Frederick you now have a [Music] friend you both coming Frederick and PR I'm so good at naming [Music] things both of you have horrible senses of direction I've uh I'm on the uh I'm on the third floor what day is it it's day 47 I'm on the third floor um there's a guy literally standing over and over there Ah that's also my microphone it's fine I am curious about how things are going to start changing changing the third floor is the most haunted and I did not shut up about that after watching the ghost video so the Builder is probably like out of Spike and to like you know death bin sketch mob uh we shall see what has been um added the mod also reflects sort of reported ghost Behavior including floating orbs as well as emulating various aspects of Ghost Attacks whether it's sort of random clings um just in time oh my God there's so many up here I'm happy my Rats on here they would die there a dead rat then I told you they would kill my rats I don't like you oh my god Priscilla is here Silla stay there I'm going to deal with a dangerous [Music] rascal you need to be careful these days Priscilla I don't know where Franklin is but I'm hoping he's safe oh my God okay there's a spawner there Priscilla darling you're going to get on my head cuz I don't want you to get hurt by these beasts okay Franklin not yet okay please back up Franklin Franklin it's fine he's the destroyer of the universe he wants to eat them oh my God you run so quickly at people I strike at thee Franklin really I think there's going to be a massive issue Franklin wants to be a wonger which generally I'm kind of fine with but there's pained rats everywhere oh okay see I told you Franklin's after you and Franklin is the destroyer of the universe now you may be really really creepy which you are I'll give you that but Franklin is a powerful rat he says he is so it makes him so Franklin you've only hit him half a heart there's a a spawner in there I thought they were coming from that direction though and all there is to do let deal with a spawner in there without a care with blocks I see that why has this become a musical I don't know but you could explain to me oh [ __ ] what is [Music] that there were shadow people in there right yeah there we go there's one of them you hurt me FS where did you go that's about to spawn something let's just watch it spin and then you going to disappear okay is it the fact that I'm looking at you is causing you to disappear oh come on go [Music] please oh my God that was not fine prisilla another rat hello come on why can't I get out because of you too I got get out I God get out I know how zombies feel help me okay uh it's day 62 way too long I need to step it up again but I've also found out another issue there are the the shadow creatures that resemble the ghosts they actually kill the rats and they will go to they will try and kill the rats before killing me so that is a really big issue and I need to speed this up so quickly I now got three rats I need to take care of so I will try my best TRS this is where it gets sketchy we want as much light in here as possible cuz we don't know what's in the rooms next to it your jobs is solely to protect yourself you die while I'm away I will be very [Music] unpleased my name is V sketch everybody hates me got fun good NS sorry for the strong language ha I now have access to your toes how do you feel about [Music] that disgusted as you should be what about you fine gentlemen do you want to fight me with your sass can I put wool on he's doing a lot of damage AR they I'm also not aiming for that guy either I'm aing for the one looking direct there's two looking directly at me do we go in and say hello oh my god oh you're carrying a dead rat do you have the floor this at me hey it's just a room guys nothing to be afraid of why are you scared with schedule I don't know maybe because of them there's another thing wait I should ask the plague doctors to subscribe plague doctor you you plague doctor will you subscribe sir do you need to walk into the camera that's Franklin will you subscribe if you hit the Bell they no it I didn't see them no wait a minute where's Franklin I was really worried that they would kill Franklin were you no you he didn't see that he didn't see that the plague doctor over there didn't see that did he dance with me maybe you're very tall and my voice is going with me maybe you mother know that you're out let's get copyright truck oh you are creepy no no stop looking at me please see originally I would treat you better because Franklin could eat you but these guys for some reason like killing rats and so do zombies so I'm not having that because Franklin is precious I don't care if I survived the 100 days as long as Franklin Priscilla and number three are set up life is good I heard a sound the sound wasn't a sound I liked it was you so you are a creeper like a creeper creeper you're replacing creeper creepers or you just a creeper like you're a creep I'm a creep I'm a that's also probably copyright it you creepy little thing so there's a spawner over there gentlemen would you like to despawn it for me ah that looks fun can I ask you is the theme song for Jojo bizar Adventures copyrighted po w did another one just kill the other one hello ah spider no no no no no so what we're going to do is we're going to get rid of the guy in the back how do I aim this thing I've had enough I've had enough I've had enough I'm doing something stupid did it work out am I dead gold Spong shield and carrot on Stick again I I I don't know the mechanics of the Spong Shield so copy copy cop copy copy copyright sorry I panicked SPO boop

is holy crap uh I'm going to put this way I don't want hurt Franklin St 67 rats are constantly in danger I I've left them well I did leave them in the room Franklin decided but it's fine um there's lots and lots of spawners which is an issue I've got rid of 14 so far from one side and I've only done one side the attic I got another rat which was good but uh this is taking way too long so I I got to speed it up it's fine we've got this if I keep going the pace be I might be able to get the attic done is the only problem is there's lots of rooms that way it's it's fine and oh God yeah I need to mention the reason I've had the rats away is that there are now these things plague rats that they have green particles and they give you the plague and they infect mods and I don't I want Franklin to keep being my friend rather than like a plague rat where is Franklin in fact cuz if he goes insane with the plague and starts attacking me I don't think I could take it so I'm going to deal with that myself okay I'm not letting anything okay we got this hi what are you you are a chicken head hello can you hurt me oh my God okay it's fine um this is fine have some light give me a second I'm investigating wait a minute if I use these guys [Music] okay now fight I might need a pickaxe to break that I a crazy idea right I knew there were things there wait wait wait we're going for the cool strategy hey I'm being proactive I'm trying all I'm really trying okay we're good this is my fault for deciding I wanted to try and see if I could combine a documentary and a Minecraft video haa chicken people light go away uh I'm out of torches [ __ ] your dedication to trying to kill me is admirable yes they definitely want to kill [Music] me oh my God why is there a stinky rat why was that rank a stinky stinky why was there a stinky rat I don't want to pick up stinky rat especially is this like plague stuff uh I have an idea I'm back number three Priscilla and PR good day so uh I I

WHOgiIYu3LQ | https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WHOgiIYu3LQ | Audrey Tang - Digital Social Innovation - Assistive Intelligence: Alignment and Accountability | [Music] so um hello everyone i'm really happy to be here virtually to talk a little bit about ai but not as in artificial intelligence but as in assistive intelligence with the context of digital social innovation so as you've heard i'm taiwan's digital minister and we deployed assistive intelligence to counter uh the pandemic with no lockdown and also counter the infodemic um with no takedown and i would like to share some stories anecdotes about how that's done and maybe some ramifications on how to take the open source of innovation communities lessons and apply it to politics through governance and so just to uh be be clear uh when i talk about ai in this talk it is not about uh something that passes the turing test it's not about something that's autonomous that can pass as a person or surpass a person because that would imply uh centralizing decision authority and my work as a minister working with the people not for the people is focused on assistive intelligence i usually explain the idea of assistive intelligence uh with my my eyeglass this one which is a assistive technology it helps me to see better but it doesn't replace me and when it's broken i get to fix it myself or take it to the repair person down the street uh i don't have to you know pay for hundreds of thousands of dollars of license fees uh just to reverse engineer how the class is done when it breaks i keep those pieces and that's the open innovation that's the open technology that enabled assistive intelligence so in the context of counter pandemic and pandemic i usually analyze it in three pillars and that's fast fair and fun and how the assistive intelligence can help to build a collective and connective intelligence so first this is the ptp the bulletin board system the leading one in taiwan for the past 25 years it has no shareholders no advertisers it's squarely in the social sector a open source uh forum actually before the term open source category is free as in freedom uh licensed in gpo v3 you can find it on github and the governance is also open so on ptt it's the only place uh at the end of 2019 when dr lee williams message spread from one to taiwan that they were in a quote there were seven uh service cases in the juan seafood market well i'm sure that other social medias around the world also receive some sort of message like this but only on ptt because people are not distracted by the anti-social corner the you know polarizing uh hate field revenge field corner of social media people acted pro socially and triaged this message so that within 24 hours we end up um not only declaring the message as legit but actually adopted it in the central epidemic monsanto so that we start flight uh passengers uh health inspections and monitors immediately on the first day of 2020 so definitely well now and the pro-social social media the digital public infrastructure that's ptt literally saved the taiwanese people and so of course it's not just for people who can't access a bulletin board system online there are people who are seniors or too young to use a personal computer so they're of course not part of the ptt but inclusion is very important so once we set up the cecc we made it very clear that the collective intelligence actually functions through this toll-free number r1922 anyone can call the 1922 from a landline or a mobile phone toll-free and instead of a voicemail or something always somebody with a lot of empathy they could come from a call center or a charity group like city in taiwan that uh listens to them with empathy and whenever anyone points out anything like that terribly when allowance message anything that's broken in our current counter epidemic efforts the very next day on the next 2 p.m the daily press conference will amplify their ideas into social innovation that's again adopted on a country-wide level so for example um as you can see this was in last year last april 13th the day before a young boy caught 1922 saying uh hey you're rationing out magical masks which is great but i'm a boy and all i got was pink ones which is not great all the boys in my class he said had navy blue medical masks to wear to school and i'm a boy he says i don't want to wear pink to school do something about it so it got escalated again within 24 hours and on the very next day next 2 p.m all the medical offices in the press conference were pink and administration xi jong our central commander of the central epidemic center said that pink panther was his childhood hero and so the boy became the most hit boy overnight because only he has a color that the heroes wear and the hero's hero i guess where um and the fashion bronze joined uh and for a while the pink moss became the most fashionable mosque in existence until the rainbow mask took over during the pride but what i'm trying to get it is that this is amplifying uh someone who's closest to the pain as well but amplifying it through digital innovation so that people can brainstorm on something again pro-social instead of condemning the bullies or something we transform the gender mainstreaming idea that pink is a cool color and empower people to wear musk not just for pandemic prevention but actually you know to to show off essentially to express themselves now the fair pillar pertains to data collaboratives people who dedicate their processing power to process data like a distributed ledger to ensure a fair distribution first of masks so last april as i mentioned we instituted mass creationing and we understood very early on that we need to get three quarters of population access to medical mark and wearing them so we distributed them in more than 6 000 pharmacies but immediately there's a problem because people could queue in line in its pharmacy only to find it out of stock for the day and then shift to another pharmacy only to discover that it also runs empty so there were panic buying and conspiracy theories and so on so we did not develop any single app instead we published as open data as part of creative commons attribution license uh every 30 seconds on the real-time inventory of how many masks there were in each pharmacy and with this real-time open api many people in our civic technologies community began to develop these interactive maps so for example this was one of the early ones from the godzilla community which looks at a digital service in taiwan always something that glv.two and change the o to a zero to fork the governments uh to make something that's more interactive and more fun more fair and then you can actually queue in line in this particular pharmacy this says it has 58 adult masks in stock and this says it has 196 uh children's mask in stock and as you queue in line as the person doing before you purchase a musk using their national health card every 30 seconds this number updates in real time and once it depletes it turns gray when it's low it turns red when it's not so low but still yellowish it turns yellow so before people go out to buy some months they can already navigate to the pharmacy that still have plenty in stock put an end to the rush pies and panic buying and if people can't use an interactive map again on the spirit of inclusion and alignment we bring the technologies to where people are in taiwan a instant messenger called line is very popular so immediately the chatbots online began to display the navigation cues even for people with seeing difficulties voice assistants were developed again on a ledger of more than 100 different tools all keeping the same type of the inventories and this also uh made sure that when data bias is detected it gets reported again on 1922 very quickly so there were even a parliamentary interpolation from mp gohan and angol from a opposition party backed by a community called the open street map because she worked with the openstreamer people to analyze the overlay of population centers and the real-time availability of mosque initially we were quite happy because we see that the population centers overlay almost perfectly with the mass distribution via pharmacies but mp goal with the openstream community discover it's actually not fair because not everyone owns a helicopter so although the kind of physical distance between each person on average pharmacies mosque is the same in the urban area that may translate to just 10 minutes of a bus ride but on the rural areas maybe three hours you don't know right so the physical distance doesn't mean much if the time the opportunity cost is actually different so uh when analyzing this open api the open streamer community worked with mpgo to interpolate uh minister chen xi jong and mp gao just explained this theory and the mp suggestion was immediately accepted by the minister the mystery chain said instead of defending anything he simply said legislator teach us so this enable interpolation and demonstration to be not just protest but essentially a pull request right so we adopted this renewed um distribution method that is more fair to the time that people takes immediately in 24 hours and we also enabled pre-registration at a convenience stores and so on and putting an end to the inequality and the bias that's shown by the data so again data bias is bound to happen but a fast iteration cycle ensures fairness now um this may when taiwan faced our real only wave so far because last year it's 10 months or so with essentially no local confirmed case and now it's been again a few months with no local confirmed case but this may there was a time when there was a real first wave in taiwan so we discovered that the contact tracing which used to take more than 24 hours to build a history of contacts of person infected need to be shortened to less than 24 minutes but again just like the masquerading map we did not design any app rather we just ask the people on give xero is there a design that can preserve the privacy of people while making sure that it's faster than signing your name and contact number on a paper and a few people from the gov zero came up with brilliant design that's based on sms that doesn't need anyone to download any app it works like this on your phone's lock screen you can swipe left i believe to pop up a camera and if you point the built-in camera to a qr code that has the sms 2 protocol it immediately pops up the sms composition window and just click send so that's like two seconds so uh there's a few things here right the 1922 number that the sms sends to is already trusted that was the toll-free number so the sms was also total free the 15 digits you see here is entirely random and only the venue owner knows uh the correspondence and this sms is not transmitted to the government it's stored like a post-it note on the telecom carrier and in taiwan all the five telecom carriers um agreed to store this for 28 days and with a caveat that it says for epidemic control use only so it must not for example be used for criminal investigation for any other like advertisement or whatever the purpose is very clear and only when somebody gets infected do the contact tracer piece together the puzzles from the five telecom carriers as well as the venue to 15 digit code mapping so this if you're in cryptography this is similar to the idea of a multi-party computation without the concept of the federated data storage individually each piece of data does not compromise privacy at all and we also have a reverse lookup system at sms.1922 the gov.tw so anyone with their phone can look up um in the past 28 days which municipalities which contact tracer with which number have accessed which day of their sms check-in so it's reverse accountability mutual accountability to make sure that it's aligned to the original contact tracing purpose and so um the lesson i guess here is that it must be fast and fair but also fun it's actually a lot of fun to use this system because really there's no need to download an app even for people with flip phones with no camera or qr code scanner they can manually text the 15 digits to 1922 to complete a check-in and of course we didn't say you have to use this you can still use pen and paper but the pen and paper is now less crowded because most people now prefer to check in via the scanning of sms because they understand this expose them to even less privacy risks as compared to pen and paper because the payment paper you know may be looked by the person during after them and uh did i mention fun uh because when each idea of counterpandemic or counter infodemic has a higher basic transmission rate than the conspiracy theory standard this information than the infodemic we make sure that people understand the clarification and the science in a way that people will also want to share with other people and this is called humor over rumor making sure that humor spreads faster than rumor remember the pink panzer the person who suggested minister chen uh who uh want to you know adopt the pink mask to respond with pink panther uh is a dedicated participation officer in charge of engagement uh in each ministry so we have a team of people in charge of engaging the public listening to their ideas and it just so happens that the participation officer in the ministry of uh health and welfare lives with this dog a very cute shiba inu so immediately you know the dodge memes and so whenever we detect a rumor we push out the humor that is based on this cute dog allowing free remixing so for example when people question the use of masks you see this particular meme from this very cute dog that says wear masks to protect your own face against your own unwashed hand so it links mask used to hang washing you can immediately try it yourself and it's just very cute so people remix this translate to different languages uh started short clips on it and so on to make sure that the science again spreads faster than the pseudoscience than the conspiracy theories uh that cute dog yeah as ken was posting a very cute shiva you know remember reminds you to cover your mouthiness when sneezing and when you're indoor please keep three cute dogs away from one another when you're outdoor please keep two uh cute dogs away from one another and so um people get into this very pro-social movement whenever people see these very cute dogs and this is not just in the ministry of health and welfare where we use mimetic engineering um to dispel the the rumor uh the ministry of education published official dictionary again under creative commons uh the presidential office along with the ministry of culture published a building models in creative commons allowing for this sort of remix i ask the photographers who want to take my portrait uh to donate their um photos into the creative commons you can find it on my flickr uh and so it became kind of an endless stream of memes just by people remixing uh the cultural links but uh in addition to the communication which of course goes viral um this way of donating the how of policy making the the why of policymaking not just what of the policies into the public domain to the creative commons leads distinctly to the people giving much better suggestions because people can't understand not just uh the exact policies but why we're making such policies you're looking at my office in the social innovation lab in the heart of taipei anyone can visit me for 40 minutes at a time if they agree that our conversation will be published into the creative commons as either a transcript co-edited after 10 days of co-editing or published as a creative commons attribution film on youtube so when any lobbyists visit me in this space they only talk about things that are for the common good they talk about sustainability better air and society for the next generations but they never lobby for something that's only good for them and bad for the next generation because they know that the transcript or video will be viewed by the next generation it will look really bad if they want to sacrifice the interests of our future generations so again radical transparency and the commons make sure that people's ideas are aligned to each other and as i mentioned uh we've long used the ai as an assistive intelligence platform to make sure that we can form shared goals again in a radically transparent fashion the first time that we used a real assistive intelligence pro-social conversation tool designed for governance was in 2015. so this is polis and now it's part of our digital public infrastructure at perlis.gov.tw uh it's again free as in freedom afro gpr verb 3. so this idea is that back in 2015 when uberx first came to taiwan people were having a lot of tensions uh some people say it's geek economy some people say sharing economy some people say it can reduce traffic congestion some people say it's um unfair to the taxi fleets um and so there's a lot of tension and controversies uh in the society and we decide to ask people not exactly what they suggest but what they feel so we publish again under the open data uh the real-time facts of however x is affecting the traffic but in three weeks time we use a ai tool uh as i mentioned polis to ask how people feel about it and there's no right or wrong about feelings around the same set of facts you may feel happy and they may feel angry it's okay but then after three weeks always some ideas emerge that take care of the most people's feelings what we in the internet confidence rough consensus or good enough consensus always emerge and then we hum virtually and produce running code in this sense legal code out of this rough consensus so the experience is like this anyone logging in has this avatar here you can see a fellow citizen feeling about uberx and they feel for example that passenger liability insurance is very important regardless of its illegality the person sitting in the passenger seat should be insured now if you agree you move toward this person if you disagree you distance away from this person but there's no room for troll to grow because there's no reply button and the distance says as much about you as about that person there's no like or dislike dynamic going on actually k-means clustering automatically groups people with similar sentiments and represents them as a area and the most divisive ideas form the x and y axis out of principle component analysis and this means that this is entirely astroturfing proof if you get 2 000 people coming in joining voting exactly the same you may see an extra zero here in group c for example it's just one single dot here it will not uh make this group larger because this measure plurality not head counts and it doesn't change the result because we hold ourselves to account only under good enough consensus the ideas and feeling that can resonate across all the different aisles and after three weeks of consultation we always end up with this shape this shape which may be the most important part of this slide shows that the divisive ideological statements like this is platform economy or this is sharing economy um dominates uh only a few percent of people's time people don't spend calories uh on this divisive ideologies rather people spend most of their time agreeing with most of their neighbors on most of their things most of the time and if you only watch the mainstream news or the more anti-social corner of social media uh people's reflection will probably be the reverse of this picture but because people can see before their analyze that they call leads into some shared form shared goals for example not undercutting existing meters that whatever uber enjoy we need to empower the local temple and church and the local fleet to also enjoy that of course insurance registration very important and so what uh uber and existing taxi fleets and their drivers all agree on this so then we invited all the stakeholders on the live stream deliberation and they hold themselves to account to this rough consensus just like you know protocol making um and just like a working group we produce the kind of consultative ideas for our legislature for our parliament to pass so now in taiwan for quite a while now for more than a year now uber is a legal taxi fleet in taiwan the q taxi pays local taxes and the temple and churches of course benefit from surge pricing and so on so everybody wins because people agree on a set of values that unites those people's ideas together and the kpi the key performance indicators are crowdsourced instead of in a traditional poll or a survey predetermined by the persons making the poll or the survey so um as a conclusion i believe that with these anecdotal stories you probably can see that when the innovations are social in nature when we empower people closest to pain so that anyone with a toll-free number with broadband as a human right we say digital access to such tools then those ideas that take care of people's feelings will amplify throughout the society and that's how we get the economic environmental and social sectors working together instead of automating each other away and so to conclude i would like to share with you my job description uh when i was digital minister for the first time uh in 2016. the cabinet office asked me so we've never had a digital minister what would you do what's your job description i'm like oh if you know the sustainable goals my work is just 1717. effective partnership through 1718 reliable data on 1706 open innovation and they're like minister i don't think that people in taiwan memorize all 169 sustainable targets you have to talk in plain language so i translated that of sorts into a poem a prayer really which is my job description it goes like this when we see the internet of things let's make it an internet of beings with the virtual reality let's make it a shared reality or we see machine learning let's make it collaborative learning when we see user experience let's make it about human experience and whenever we hear that a singularity is near well let's always remember the plurality is here all right that's my talk looking forward to the q a thank you for listening oh my goodness that's amazing that's amazing that's amazing i'm like oh my god i'm so touched especially the ending oh my goodness oh my god we've got a tons of questions running running down there and um so um i think i think what um audrey has mentioned about um putting all this um summary totally summarizes what we are as developers it's not only about technology but it's also for the humans so we actually do have to think about the humanity in there so um there we have a quite a lot of questions coming up and they are mostly uh wow a lot of them comes up in a different way the first one that they asked was do you find any pushback from your colleagues in opening up government data to citizens and how did you navigate that if so that's from cody yes the idea is to be safe and swift whenever we open up data it must reduce risk for the public service and also make the public service more efficient to save time you can't increase risk to save time or waste time to reduce risk that never works so in the mass creation example for example if we publish the data every day instead of every 30 seconds counter-intuitively that actually increase the risk because people cannot audit the data as they queue in line if they feel that the data is wrong it will put a lot of pressure on the public servants that look at the data before they publish but if we publish every 30 seconds obviously we didn't look at the data before we published we have no way to transfer the data so when there is data bias then like the openstreetmap community you can't blame the public servant for hiding the data instead you can perhaps blame uh the bias in distribution but they will simply say okay it was a better idea and then the person complaining becoming our co-creator so by making sure your procurement contract that the open api must be made just like universal access right in taiwan's procurement around the world i'm sure many people do the same uh if a vendor said i make a website only for people with eyesight but if you can't see well you can't use this website then of course they may be bond from getting government contract for being you know not considering uh discriminating against people with seeing difficulties and we say uh the linux foundation open api three spec is empowering the robots so if you make a web service in taiwan if the procuring agency asks you to provide for each human usable input output also an open api you must not decline you must not charge a lot for it otherwise you may also be banned from procuring government contracts for discriminating against robots but we don't quite say that but that's the effect so because of that we get those every 30 seconds updated api for free when we make updated or new government digital services oh wow that doesn't it everything comes out like that yes it's like mind-blowing that that is there's a lot of data in there [Laughter] okay uh um do you want to ask the other questions yes um i've got a question from um one of the audience and i also share that experience too so the question is in my experience working with governments i find a very risk adverse and often only take a waterfall approach and that that results not in the best solutions or not the best results what methods are you using to overcome this problem yeah definitely i believe that the bedrock systems the system integrators working on maybe still on db2 uh which is better than the base three i hope uh in the in the most underlying infrastructure part of the government of course they take a waterfall approach because the requirement doesn't change until the next fiscal year so when you have a requirement cycle that's defined by the parliamentary approval rate of the budget then of course you can't afford to take a waterfall approach because the spec literally doesn't change right yeah but when you're countering the pandemic or the infill damage the requirement literally changes every hour or with every 1922 call so how do we reconcile the two the open api i believe is a key part in it it allows the bedrock system to focus on the stability whereas the visualization interactive maps chatbots um whatever uh voice assistants uh can be tried out by the open source community by the startups by the people with a very agile methodologies but we didn't procure those we call it reverse procurement that is to say it's demand driven the mask interactive map actually was prototype in gov0 even before we published the open api they adopted a ushahidi like approach when people queuing in line and people in pharmacy voluntarily report that inventory of course it doesn't really scale because it relies on people to behave altruistically but it means that it can innovate without any government inputs and when it gains popularity the press discovery loved it and then it creates a pressure for the government to adapt the bedrock system to produce the kind of api that's demanded by the already very popular social sector civic technology so we are like the vendors of the civic technologies they make this back and we implement the spec the same for the sms contact tracing system it's not my idea the sms based contact tracing was prototype using twilio or something on the gov serial community but of course i talked to 192 immediately to absorb the cost but because the spec was from the privacy-minded civic technologists people uh enjoying higher legitimacy frankly than the government contractors so when we implement the spec that is defined by the social sector i call it the people public private partnership where the people crowdsource the norm the public sector amplify the norm and the private sector well implements the norm it could be waterfall at this stage because the norm part is very agile wow oh my god it's just paradigm shift for software engineering by now yes i do agree with that leaves no space for for for why so that how how can we actually work to create the reality that uh you see from data that people are more in agreement that they are divided yeah i think it's entirely um the space that defines the interactions so imagine uh that if we're all in a physical park uh or in a town hall in the university campus and so on people behave very pro-socially and have much more in agreement than they are divided but if we move the same sort of people into a bar um in a night life district and nightclub was very loud music uh and very intoxicating drinks addictive drinks with private bouncers and you have to shout or get hurt and so on then people behave very differently uh and there's much more disagreement uh brawls and so on on that sort of space now i have nothing against the entertainment sector just to uh for the record but it does show that on the digital equivalent of the town halls like the police that i shared where people uh without a reply button have to think more deeply about how they resonate with one another and visualize this uh like in ptt where there are uploads and downloads but there is no advertisers or shareholders so um people uh get uh the reward of their working with a pro-social and collective intelligence uh without getting reward on um angering or upsetting each other so again people behave much more pro socially and so which is why we hold our equivalent of town hall meetings on those digital public infrastructure and in 2016 uh on the advanced uh infrastructure bill we actually classified this digital infrastructure as infrastructure a worthy of the special budget money previously it was only for things that are concrete like made out of concrete but after 2016 we invest on these non-concrete digital public squares because we understand without these spaces people will be essentially forced to deliberate about politics on facebook which is the equivalent of holding a town hall in the night club uh and we will not get a pro-social more agreement because it was simply not a space designed for that it's totally so true about that yeah exactly yeah i mean that's how um people actually causes like um anger or or they try to protest and all this is because there's no common place for them to actually express themselves to yeah um so uh um is that another question that you're posing yes i i i have this question and it actually captures my mind um because it's actually what i'm working on so the the question is what kind of general design traits do you have to keep in mind for serving the citizens effectively like qr codes or flip phones or things like that can you share some experience with us please yes and this is really a great question uh i think one of the most important thing here is to design with the people not for the people and so i often remind myself with a poem by learner cohen uh really part of the song and it goes like this uh ring the bells that still can ring forget your perfect offering because there's a crack a crack in everything and that's how the light gets in so instead of something that's perfect which closes off future possibilities make something that's imperfect and then open up this crack for people to contribute and so for example we very quickly discovered that many people don't use a qr code scanning built in camera they prefer to use the line app to add friends to each other via qr code scanning so people pressured line in their friend adding a qr code scanning function to recognize the 182 sms as a friend essentially and send it as a mass but that would not be possible if we mend it on one single app because qr code is well understood by everyone it's an internationally open spec and because we print the 15 digits as a fallback so people have the room to try different qr code scanners to try different qr code printing services there are people who uh print the qr code with very cute cats explaining how contract tech tracing works and so on so qr code generator and qr code scanner they're all very easy to make and on both sides hundreds of different implementations appear which increase again the virality of the qr code scanning idea so on the first week we have more than two million venues uh adopting this place and since may to now there's more than a quarter billion uh sms sent this way every day is tens of millions of sms and that's because people choose the tool that is more appropriate to them instead of we think of things that fits perfectly for people it's more human testing than machine testing exactly that's right collaborative learning i mean that's also basically about open source community too it's it's all about collaboration and to transparencies to actually open up and not to be not to feel worried that someone is stealing your knowledge but to grow by sharing exactly yeah i think so inclusion yes yes so there's another question that says it's almost like an approach to force adoption and government support through public adoption how realistic is this to be adopted by other governments sure my advice to other governments who want to try something like this it's very simple is to trust your citizens um and if to to give no trust is to get no trust so if you don't trust the citizens to come up with better respects and norms and habits than you possibly could if you don't open up the necessary why and how of policy making the real-time open data for them to come up with new ideas if you hide all of the uh draft and proceedings before the final policies announced hide it behind the freedom of information requests and process then the people simply has nothing to work with and you don't get the kind of zero community so trusting the citizens maximally means uh to be humble and also to say to the citizens whatever you're seeing is the same thing as i see so if you don't like the way our policy making works well go ahead and do something but if you don't share the data in transit if you don't publish open data as soon as it's collective if you insist on red acting like not trusting the citizen enough to to hide the partial data then the citizens time will be wasted on getting the scoop right getting what actually is the data and then you will miss the opportunity of co-creation yeah i think once once people actually find that what they said is not heard they give up so they will the second or third time they won't bother to actually um provide any inputs after that so i think what what you've mentioned just now about like it's basically like no one gets left behind like what you said about the little child with the pink mask is totally about um even the smallest voice in a corner can be heard and i think this is something that's very important for uh for the community and for collaborative learning too so um do you have another question i saw that yes um this question is going to be a little bit more data oriented and it's quite interesting um how do you pre how do you filter the noise or the false information among those data that the general public provides yeah as i mentioned on the polis platform or on the citizens petition platform and so on um of course people can get their friends to vote exactly the same but because we don't compare the heck out of pearl vs com it's not a vote um so it doesn't really change the plurality what it takes is actually to suggest things that convince people across the aisle but of course if someone creates you know a hundred thousand different accounts still that will disrupt the conversation so we do uh use a real contact system again at sms so when you register on the join platform uh you have to uh respond to a one-time sms to ensure that you own a unique uh phone uh but that phone number is not revealed to other participants you can still choose a pseudonym you can still interact with a revealing real real name and this is just to prevent somebody from spamming and creating too many accounts and in taiwan of course if you want to get 5000 sim cards uh the anti-molly laundry people will discover you very quickly we kind of rely on the underlying telecom player to prevent fraud and people are associated with their sms but not with their real name and the sms is not published that's very interesting yeah so um there's actually another question um to ask about um some what are the some successful examples that taiwan exports those experiences to other countries yeah definitely yeah so uh i think one of the most successful examples uh was the map right the the mask racing map not only uh it was adopted almost verbatim in south korea just one month after in march 2020 but also inspired many similar mosque efforts uh in japan and in many other jurisdictions but because we're in virtually in thailand uh i want to also share another thing that that's uh spread to thailand and it's about the counter info damage so uh in taiwan gov zero has a effort called cofacts meaning collaborative fact checking and it's a line bought so anyone who see anything that looks like a dis information on the line platform can just forward that particular piece of information to the cofacts.org bots now the spot which i'm trying to to show via the screen share can you bring up the screen share yes so yeah uh so it basically says follow the line ads of colfax and send any suspected hoax scan rumor urban legend to verify its truths uh and what it happens is they will go to a wikipedia-like community uh which uh looks at this information that has the most number of uh people reporting it so it's just like what's fun house that's to spend and then the spam house like approach enables people to focus their fact checking to the places uh where people have a maximal interest on the this information going viral and it has spread to thailand as well at block.cofact.org so like colfax but without an s i just pasted it to the chat you can see the same idea that basically works in in thailand as well and just like other international fact-checking journalism network the ifcn also has professional journalists working with these volunteer people many of them in middle school or high school uh together in tandem so that for example in 2020 january when our three presidential candidates were having their platforms and debating with one another uh the middle schoolers working with the colfax community can type their speech in real time into transcript fact check the numbers and facts they used and if a discrepancy is discovered the time factor center working with the public tv and so on show those contributions in real time during the debate and though it empowers the middle schoolers so that it goes beyond the idea of media literacy which is about how you receive information this is media competence meaning that whatever people uh contributes to remix uh into a fact-checking report it has immediate social impact so this is a idea of humor over rumor through collaborative fact checking that has since spread to thailand wow that's one of the best examples that i think um other countries could actually adopt to it and uh can you um any country could actually use it too so um i see that you have another questions regarding the vr and ar yes um so this question is actually from me and also from one of my friends who is talking to me on facebook he's watching this this live as well so yes and the question is as virtual reality and augmented reality become integrated to social media that would actually exacerbate social problems and mental illness to the citizen what's your opinion and suggestions for the government to deal with this issue yeah uh so as i mentioned uh i draw a distinction between virtual reality and shared reality a shared reality is rooted in something that's real a real crowd of people visiting a real place except of course some people are not actually in the same time zone not in the same space but it's rooted in real human interactions and so when i use shared reality tools for example i model myself into a 3d model i used to talk to middle schoolers and some primary schoolers in their school yard modeled within the virtual reality and then lower my avatar to their height to exactly uh their height and look at their school yard from their perspective and this enables me to to feel their environments and they don't have to look up to me quite literally right they can't treat me as one of their peers and this obviously doesn't lead to mental health issues this actually has smoke from mental health problems of unequal power by kids and adults and things like that so i believe if if people have the right and the ability to customize the acoustic model the physics model the interaction model with one another they become a blurry verse right a multiverse not a matrix uh and people can then um just as we can design a space in the physical space to maximize pro-social behavior we can do the same on the digital realm as well but that relies of course again on free as in freedom software on open source and open innovations uh the reason why i can change my avatar and acoustic model was because i was using an open source uh suite of virtual and shared reality called high fidelity.io and there's more and more building blocks of this kind of augmented reality that has the same open source principles with a shared governance that is open so i believe anything that you cannot set a local instance with a full feature uh is actually not multiverse it's not blurry verse it's just um trapping you uh into a main purse that's maybe dominated by major yeah i couldn't agree more because um i was actually i used to teach and one of the most important principle is to look in the height and the view of a perspective person that you are looking at so what you said was totally true like if you want a child to listen to what you're saying squat down and kneel down at their height to see at their level because that's how they can actually see what they're seeing take a camera and look at their height where they're looking at and that's where you can actually see their perspective so audrey about the the ar and vr that you say putting on according to the height that's that's like yeah spot on spot for that yeah so there's another question here say um how can grassroots versions of the systems you have talked about best operate within authority and top-down regions yeah well taiwan used to be a authoritarian regime when i was born thailand was still in martial law so we had no freedom right but but at that time already uh people have built legitimacy from the social sector by focusing on things that are uh frankly speaking apolitical right so based on for example protecting the environment focusing on protecting one another's health on public health dispelling rumors about food and drug misuses if you microwave this will cause cancer or things like that right so by focusing on things uh with a more civil application i believe that we can't get the same sort of legitimacy within the social sector without directly uh challenging the the authoritarian government uh one case in point uh was that the kofax initiative as i mentioned in more authoritarian regimes there's also instances of colfax springing up but what they do is that they work with the authorities to make sure that the authorities counter um rumor efforts in food and drug administration and so on gets more popular and so this of course is a common good but that means that the consumer protection organization the co-ops and social entrepreneurs working with these grassroots versions also enjoy a high legitimacy by the people uh if you share my screen there is one small example when i say humor over rumor so with the help of the colfax like approach uh the authorities like food and drug administration and so on can't dispel a rumor as it goes viral in just 60 minutes and so this is one of the example when premier soojin head of our cabinet first become premier he worked himself in such a human over rumor campaign and this is something that i would suggest you uh in a grassroots campaign to to focus on so there was a rumor at the time that you'll be fined 1 million anti-dollars for plumbing your hair many times a week and this said is not true and the premier said this it's not true and i may be bold now but i used to have hair i used to look like this so i would not punish people who look like my youth and a small print that says what we've introduced is labeling requirement for hair products that takes effect on july 2022 but not punish the consumers and then this part which i didn't translate the premier as he looks now with the hair blower says however if you look that many times a week it will not damage your bank account but it will damage your hair just look at me for what will happen to your hair because that this is much more viral you can't operate quite successfully with social legitimacy even in more authoritarian societies this is actually the best way for for for people to actually um absorb information by humor because everyone loves humor actually thailand is really really really good uh with humor um media i think it's one of the best in the world but how they actually integrate humor into life but i think what what the what you have shown as an example is a great one because putting humor into yourself and show it putting it out to to the others actually does not offend the others but you yourself give the permission and everyone laughed and enjoyed about it and the information got through everyone so that's actually important of other people make fun with other people right yes i mean we we know what we can make fun of ourselves and we give the authority we sign ourselves that it's house so that's that's not a problem okay so um is there i think uh i think you just answered everything perfectly yeah and where and sorry so we're probably at time right yeah on time i've never seen anything that correct before [Laughter] is um someone who is like a collaborate collaborative learning that actually um timing there or somehow i don't know but it seems to work very well here so um is there anything else that we need to address some arm for the for this i think we i think i think we are fine with it yeah okay cool so um thank you thank you audrey for uh coming in and before we leave we would like to um thank everyone else to um to this special closing uh keynotes uh we are really really honored audrey to have you here to share um your knowledge and experience with us and i think this totally totally actually shows that um if someone has empathy and and everything no one's is too high to reach so even audrey can actually come over and listen to and and and you answer your questions that you ask and that is called the level of approachable approachability that you can actually have for each person and the importance importance of us developers to be able to do that and that's the key of uh humanity and human technology so um before we we close off i would like to thank everyone for coming and um pycon thailand is really really happy to have um to host python apac this year and um we have to share and pass our the fire of beijing to someone else next year and by chance it wasn't any intention by chance that next year pycon apac will actually be held in taiwan yes so can we actually bring up um david who is going to be uh pycon uh taiwan's uh conference lead next year hi george hi hi um hey everyone and thanks pycon talent to bring us a really great pycon fp conference is that clear yes we can hear it clearly we know that it's really really difficult for our communities to hold events and keep connection with our member in remote this year and the pandemic has changed our how we work learn and interact both personally and professionally and i hope all of you are staying healthy safe and good during this time and in the past year pycon taiwan retrospected our role as the python community platform in taiwan we have improving our agenda and events by introducing wonderful thoughts and experience from other python conference in the world to python taiwan we also enhanced the exchange of experience between local to local and the local to international python communities and kept adopting innovative plans as a platform for the python communities python taiwan invites all python users developers and promoters to join our events we are very excited to announce that we are going to host the python fpac 2022 and we want to invite all of you to join our events i really really hope to see you in person next year and until then stay safe and be well i'm david from pycon taiwan the chairperson of the pycon ipad conference 2022 see you next year wow is that all all the all the um preparation that you have from reading and it's just so perfect exactly can you see mine mine is all scribbled mine is like it's left and it's right and that's what i have here so thank you audrey so much for um for for coming here and we're so honored to have you here yep i mean um if it's if it's not now then when that we actually ask you so right so um once again again sorry so yeah i i just want to say that um i i was really happy to have received this invitation and doubly happy that some of you may be visiting taiwan so when you're in taiwan be sure to drop by the social innovation lab i may be there and we may share some cup of bubble tea in my office yeah well i love to do so i love taiwan yes she says so open and diverse and it's not what you think it is so if you have actually have the chance to go do step in and and and enjoy taiwan i think it's one of the most beautiful countries yeah so thank you um audrey and uh we will actually have to thank um and thank you david david yeah so thank you the and because pycon taiwan has came has just come in and helped us so much the the challenge of us this year to create pycon apac was really hard because online apac that means you have several languages you have people from around different regions so the only way we actually create was to ask volunteers from different countries to create moderated chat rooms and without the help of people like pycon taiwan to make sure that they have moderate the chinese room and then icon philippines in the philippines room and india for the hindi room and japan and korea oh my god this is just amazing i mean i couldn't have done it without everyone's help and that's what audrey has been saying to the one that you actually has been working on and still working on it and i think if every one of us actually work towards this direction then um the growth will be there and it will be sustainable so um not we should not um waste audrey too much time because i think she will have a lot of things ahead to do and thank you david so we'll just leave with um um to boba beer yeah yes oh my god bbb i i would i would prefer boba tea no no no boba beer is something that i would like to try well but probably i'll i'll burp out the bubbles so um before we close um everyone there's still a few other talks coming up and um yeah do not forget that uh isabella morella who whom we actually invited to um talk about keyboards for everyone who's interested in mechanical keyboards will be answering you the question live for you yeah and again my paper here um we love to actually really thank everyone you can see in a general chat look at all the names there like um yangoon from uh pycon korea you have taiwan like

year to actually set up a pycon online is again like what i said really hard and not easy to to make it happen but it did yeah and um and yes we we would like to thank our sponsors as well yes without

Paul's gospel to Timothy the fourth chapter we shall read from 7 to 16 first Timothy chapter 4 from 7 7 for refuse profane and old wives fables and exercise thyself rather unto godliness 8 for bodily exercise profiteth little but godliness is profitable unto all things having promise of the life that is it that now is and of that which is to come knowing this is a faithful saying and worthy of all acceptance 10 for therefore we both labor and suffer reproach because we trust in the Living God who is the savior of all men especially of those that believe 11 this things command and teach 12 let no man despise thy youth but be our example of the believers in Word in conversation in charity in spirit in faith in purity 13 shall I come give attendance to reading to exhortation to doctrine 14 neglect not the gift that is in thee which was given thee by prophecy with the lame of the hands of the proprietary 15 meditate upon these things give this our holy today that by profiting may appear

places I can't go but I am sure all this was it that God is real for what I feel in deep with my god history and really my soul my god is thrill for us wash I made me whole his love for me he's like your goal oh my god is world like a field deep in my soul some folk made out some folk miss corn all can't won't I leave me bowties for me I would take us far I go this world for I can't see anymore my lord astray is really in my soul my God's will for years washed I may be East lover me he's like your bird my god is rule I can feel it in my soul [Music] I cannot just how you felt when Jesus took your sins are we bosses that day yes is that AA GoDaddy real for I can see is only power my god is real is real in my soul my god is real for yes worst I made me oh he's lover me he's like your God my God is true for I can feel him in my soul [Music] Rober the scriptures this morning by going into part of what we read for the Bible reading first Timothy chapter 4 verse 70 this is a continuation of a letter written by Paul to a young minister a young man a wonderful man who I can say was like Paul's son in the gospel he was a father to Paul as he was a father to timothy 2 timothy he actually saw to it that timothy and progressed in the right way so he has this letter to write to this young man so the continuation of the letter i'm going from somewhere in verse 7 he's telling Timothy but refuse profane and old wives fables so a lot of things going around but what he tells him to do is more important he says exercise thyself rather unto godliness I want to repeat that he is instructing Timothy to do some exercise the exercise is telling Timothy to do here is exercise yourself rather unto godliness so in the short space ahead of us will be considering the topic God mercy godliness through discipline it's not easy to stand here this month is the Black History Month and I don't know why I kind of know why they have to have a Black History Month because there's some blacks who don't know their history and it's not a good thing to not know your history you've got to know where you've come from if you ask me where I've come from I can tell you I can tell you the house so I am from ok jebel number five ok jabu Hill in over on those state of Western part of Nigeria god bless you brother Dean I know where I'm from I I know my father I know my grandfather I wasn't able to meet my great-grandfather but they took me to where I'm from I know my roots so if they decide to take us all away from this country some people would not know where to go at least I know where to go how things will be there I can't see but I know where I am from are you with me but they had to bring black history in this part of the world because some people were brought over as sorry to use the word like they'd they just brought them over here in so many different ways and one of them was by the wind rush and his big ship from the West Indies an all outside of the world and they brought them here and they told them they're gonna have a great life but you all know what London is like you can build castles in the air when you're thinking about London but when you come here the system is run on hardwork and opportunities and it's the survival of the fittest and if you're not up for it nothing for you in this place every single money you earn they will take it back you gotta be disciplined or you have no savings but that's not what we're talking about today there isn't why I'm connecting this to the Black History Month is because we have some history in there prosthetic faith one of the greatest men of God we have who is an African who served God faithfully as an overseer from December the 4th 1983 when he took over from the great man of God who started the work in Nigeria whose name is Timothy Biturbo or chakra this young man called Josiah Sher Inca took over from him on the 4th of December 1983 and he held firm till September the 4th 1999 he was a true man of God and is good we know our history we can't we some of us were under his ministry and some of us are here because this man of God stood and it is my prayer that you will stand that other people will stand the hallmark of his ministry towards the end of his ministry the very thing that you know catapulted him into glory was basically he believed based on the scriptures that to get to heaven you need to have a broken and contrite heart a broken and contrite heart it doesn't matter what level you're going to in the ministry you could be an overseer you could be a pastor you could be anything if you don't pass the test of brokenness if you don't pass the test of being able to allow God to hit you at any point and that you can break down and say I'm sorry I blew it to my child I'm sorry to the person that's working under me I'm sorry I had to do that to a young person just just during the week you know messed up spoke about her to someone else instead of going to her directly she got it - got to find about it and you know it takes a while to build a relationship you know when you build a relationship for a while and all of a sudden someone sees that you've kind of like messed up they're like no I demand you what's wrong with you what's happened to you there's no need giving excuses that that - look look I blew it that's not what we were taught that's not what I'm supposed to do but I didn't I'm sorry forgive me I need to move on on this journey I can't put a car park in that place maybe we passed that test of brokenness so it was one of the hallmarks of his ministry when God was gonna make him perfect to get to heaven before he got into where he would really have be on the highway to heaven he made a slight detour the Josiah we knew wasn't the desire that was being shown everyone you know listen guys and everyone will know when you are on the road because our lives are an epistle written and read before all men if you start just in the slightest form you you you you just find out that some way you are not what you were before people will pick it people will pick it something's not right you know because God has given us the spirit of discernment something's not right and apparently he made a little slight detour just a little one just a little one just a little one off the track but you are either on the way or off the way there is no middle ground there is no middle ground and I think the danger is when we think we're we God said I will spue you out you made a hot be all for me or not for me all in or out don't try and camp a detour I'm here today tomorrow and they're like like I can't dance this you dancing with your soul you dancing with your soul go all-in go all-in give this road your best shot and you will see what God will make of you he made a detour what God helped him to retrace immediately he retraced this man of God went round every department every single department because he had built a ministry and the devil was about to wreck that ministry but God forbid god forbid that our walk and our labor in Christ will go in vain god forbid the rod of the wicked shall not rest upon the lot of the righteous less the righteous put forth their hand into iniquity as at that point the rod of the wicked rested heavily on him but Jesus decided to smash the rod because if Jesus didn't intervene aa Apostolic Faith Nigeria would have scattered you will not have a postal equate you unite some of us would not have made it here we would have gone in ten thousand directions but because this ministry is based on the rock that rock cannot fail praise God when he when he came back he will go to where they're teaching people music stuck I'm sorry this man of God at the age of 69 who prostrate I am sorry he will go to Wendy ashes are stopped I'm sorry I blew it I blew it I blew it I'm sorry forgive me forgive me you know what he was doing peeping his way to heaven baby in his way to heaven baby in his way to heaven you can go on YouTube his final sermon a broken and contrite heart last sermon he preached oh he sang it with the children the children didn't know they were seen the last of that man of God because he was saying far far away in heaven you know I remember the song but he was good away far away but I don't want to go into the song now it's not singing and I'm no good in singing I lost ruining but what we're talking about is he paved his way and there was one tagline that he had which finished the whole thing he said mission accomplished now I want to get to a place in my life where I can say mission accomplished because the man of God got to a place where he would say I have done it all down so let thy servant depart in peace he was so bold if you look what the Sermon just you need to know your history just gonna watch him it was like he was you see because you know what God is too precious to allow us to die in on this space of the earth I don't think he lived any longer he might have missed it anyway that was his right time and so he he faces the congregation it says now did he know did he know did he know come on listen you can't start this journey without having God as your navigator it will get to a point the very things that are happening in your life even though they are bad you will be seen good in them it may not seem right to every person but God has put a sad nerve inside you that will be telling you my son blessed are those foods of a righteous man for the end of those steps are peace he said let thy servant depart in peace just a couple of months after the camp meeting in August on September the 4th in Jos Jos Josiah al-abadi shrinker passed on to glory Mary makes menu and may make the portals of glory that was one of his hallmarks we're not dealing with that today but we want to pray that God who still give us the spirit of brokenness we need it we don't be told off we can be disciplined we can be big people let's listen this is one thing I don't understand like how is it that you have the Spirit of Christ in this matter how someone will corrects you you did something wrong they talk to you harshly the Spirit of God within you is supposed to be able to pipe low stop down say I'm sorry if you let that base experience something wrong with your salvation something's wrong it's not godly it has not if you look we all go on a rage when things don't walk our way it's that is childishness Paul said when I was a child I spake as a child now I need to get you know you understand me Desa look there are times in your life in a life of a human being you poo your mummy will come clean the nappy for you you play game clean the nappy don't worry with time you go to the potty and then they start you can't beep winner as an adult you understand me nobody was not then they was not promising you party no nananana we need to match all we need to pick up did I was like we need to step up this this someone is really listen why am i attaching we are showing her to this because his second hallmark apart from brokenness was discipline this salmon I'm not preaching I'm just like he's done the hard work the man of God has done the research this this piece godliness through discipline was preached to to people who like students who were about to go into university on the 10th of February 1990 he preaches to them on godliness through discipline I'm just gonna take some snippets mostly for our young people that if you want to be godly you've got to be disciplined there is no fast loose and fancy free if you think you can just be fast loose and fancy 3 you're gonna make people despise your youth this is just the truth they will despise your youth that is why Paul was telling Timothy exercise exercise is not easy those of us that have been struggling to lose weight you will know it is not easy exercise is hard and what Paul was telling Timothy is the only way to bug leanness is through a hard root if you think that godliness has become something so easy that there is no sacrifice that you have to put on in this way you are on the wrong way it there must be something there has to be some part we're gonna play it's not all grace it's not all grace it's not all grace there are parts we have to play and Timothy was very careful Paul was very careful in relativity look exercise yourself put in I call this when I go to schools to do the motivational speaking I say there's an F word all of you need to due to have a growth mindset they start telling me faith it's not telling me things I just confuse them I said the F word is effort and they go like effort effort ah effort effort you've got to put in some personal effort into making your calling and election sure if you can't do these basic disciplinary things on a day to day basis you are going to have a shipwreck of a calling you could have started on this journey I don't know when you got saved God will put some cardio in you he will give you a precious thing I don't know what how whatever God is so faithful he will give you that salvation but can you just maintain it I mean is it wrong to maintain it like for everything on the world in the earth God has given he I mean good did the bigger part of this thing he took his cross he went to the cross he was nailed to the cross he took all of it for you he did the big part now body's just asking you that now I've given you this salvation can you just also make some sacrifices for me is this too much now less reason is this too much like can you just focus on things for me can you just paid some prices let Paul said light afflictions that's what he called it even evil he didn't even feel worthy to call those things tribulations he called them light afflictions because if you are truly heaven-bound this is where the problem is if we are truly heaven-bound no price is too much the problem is a lot of us have missed the way and someone said that obstacles are what you see when you lose sight of your goals you would just see things that don't work you would just see things that don't click you just seen everything that doesn't work and everything that will never walk and you negative in your understanding and feeling that you can't ever make progress but if you go to the bottom line of your problem it is deeply rooted on laziness laziness is the one thing that God dealt seriously with me because in the past two years I've been trying to write a book and God said I told you young man you are a professional procrastinate all professional procrastinators don't finish things and for you to finish this book you have to be transformed by the renewing of your mind into a professional achiever and to do this young man you must be disciplined he's gonna cost me something yes it will for days I won't come back from my studio I'm writing writing writing I'm not used to this my body's aching I'm supposed to be painting no right I'm supposed to be right it's not comfortable now right the editor has a deadline not a guideline people like you are the banjee you did deadlines are guidelines think discipline and you will get the result through pain through tears through fights through feats I submit I define a piece if you go on Amazon now it was such on Google you say alibi jihadi Auto what am I trying to say here if things as little as this I will perish in this world all the books of this earth will be burnt in fire but if it's worth pursuing and I have to put so much in how much more my Christianity it must cost me something there has to have to feel something I just I just feel like today I just feel like dressing this way today I just feel like singing this song today I just feel like talking this way today I just feel like watching this thing today I just feel like browsing on this site today feelings will not go with heaven hello someone missed one notice on the mountaintop feeling oriented Christianity leads to hell you can't trust your feelings because emotions bodies emotions were like this there has to be a point where what you do everything you do look look how it says look at how it says it oh I love this man called Paul look at what he writes in first to meet Timothy chapter 4 verse 12 he says let no man despise thy youth that is young people again look at them today they say I think tomorrow they say don't let people talk rubbish you too don't do rubbish if you don't want people to talk rubbish don't do rubbish it's simple there's a price to pay he says let no man despise thy youth but be thou an example examples are not easy because people are watching but there's a price to pay Luca what it says he says need are an example of believers in Word in how you speak Britain discipline your tongue not everything like I did and they show you the team my head sorry let's calm down to add when we miss it we miss it it in togas run around I feel this one that one will repent restitute make your way right so that in the end that is not going to despite you from the heaviness inward it says in conversation that conversation is not only is your whole behavior the way you carry yourself your whole lifestyle everything about your life look this is the problem and let's draw it close if you are appealing to your peers and they understand what you do and that's fine like you know I do my thing as a young person the young people understand they know what's in my heart they understand me okay what about the people who don't there are some people who don't and Paul is telling Timothy be careful young man you're young don't let anyone despise your youth by the way you behave by what you do so despising would mean they would talk down not knew him so you need to find a way to discipline yourself so that you balance the equation it can't tie only down to youth you you've you have to tie it up because this young man Timothy was a pastor and it wasn't only leading young people he was also leading elders too and to balance the two he needed to make sure that he was in the middle of the road making sure the old people don't despise him and he still needed to be on par with his young people that is not an easy thing to do but if it was hard God will not require it of Timothy guys we have to be careful you know why the devil will cast a special on things we do things we say how it behave how we comport ourselves and it will bring the whole testimony crashing to the ground but we have a ministry we have a ministry to protect we have a salvation to protect it's gonna cost miss something it will you know why we had it last week I'm just gonna reiterate it from the very beginning in the Garden of Eden there was just something little that man needed to do don't eat the fruit of this place you understand me there's a permanent he's not an agreement at least you do your part and we do my but that's where the whole thing starts from there has always been a part for man to play from the time Memorial up till today this always a part is not all grace if it look if it was all grace and we had nothing to do but that might as well ship ship all of us to heaven so there's nothing to do now just get saved you haven't saved you heaven but this work to do on earth are you with me there is work to do and the work we have to do we have to be discerning and savvy of our environment we have to operate almost like a CID we are sensitive we are perceptive and we can pick things in the environment and when you are in a certain environment you just know it's not all wrong but it's also not all right so you had a way of comforting yourself you're in that situation but you're wise you're wise guys you're wise you don't just let yourself off you know at some points you just know how to just Christ did he just slipped out of their midst they could not see anything in him if they couldn't find anything in him you know why they couldn't find anything in him because there was nothing of the devil in him he said it nothing of him is in me so you can't get anything the problem where we fall is because there's something of the world in us like attracts like so if the team is boom boom boom and you don't have that you won't be moved but you don't stay there too because you have to be careful with your flesh you have to be careful with your flesh what you don't want to do if you stay there too long like Samson did it's my leg it's my chest oh it's my hair one why are you going if I just slap him where are you going just give him a in a few cards nah here are you losing it some of us lose it with forgotten that we have something precious are you with me that needs to be protected and we can't be like everyone else you are a chosen generation a royal priesthood a holy nation a peculiar person who has been called out of darkness where those people are marvellous lights don't eat can't walk you need to show them show them let your light so shine that men they will look at what you do and it will glorify your father in heaven but now the world is now showing you the most powerful man in the world was about to and lead them in the fire that had been put several times hot boys I look may we be inspired by the right things Calabar look King we are not careful to answer you in this matter but women even careful listen listen Oh King disrespect they haven't lost it be careful don't just talk nana nena to anybody to lead us to respect everyone's sorry sorry think we are not this respectable you see this thing we are not and peradventure you throw us in and about what does not deliver us we will still not worship you ah the king's head we're hot because the wall cannot contain that the man went in a rage she going through them in even demanded threw them in the fire finish them then they threw these boys into the fire the boys were moving in fire and this son of God it was actually this even King that identified and said did we not draw three people inside this place but the thought one makes similitude it's like this son of God good would be with you there's a price to pay the boy is pretty price the boy is pretty price look even in this world to get into the Hall of Fame to get into the highest levels there's a price you must pray a basic self-denial some sort of cost look at the athletes that have got to the highest level look at what they do they can't eat anyhow look they don't even rest anyhow I was watching one on YouTube he said he has this thing he called it a Mamba mentality you know the Black Mamba you just go out you're all out he plays a sport whereby he believes there's nothing that can stop him what can stop you if you believe that true if if the human spirit the ordinary human spirit can set their eyes on a goal I'm going to be the most valuable player and nothing will stop them one day this guy lost he lost a game after losing the game what does he do you would think he would go to his room he woke up the next morning and he basically dunk all day long hello for 24 hours no food no sleep no rest all day long he was dunking truing no elbows everything going him everything raining for a whole 24 hours just for an ordinary thing that will pass away how much more heaven how can you look this is the positive part because we need to we need this this was the hallmark if you if you need this sermon I can email it to anyone I actually asked people on the alumni of ABS if they had this some people still had this thank God for Brad share for Larry from America he sent her the document to me look what we're trying to say this hallmark was of discipline was brush shoe Incas belief he believed he didn't only believe in salvation he believed that there is no instant godliness quick fix instant coordinates do three steps you up you you you you you you okay those right things and you are fine no every single day you must die you look at yourself and you basically die if there is no part of you that is dying if there's no part of you that is dying and where does it die it has to dine things you love to do the tendencies of the flesh that you know you were used to you look look look look look look we had a miracle in this human body it is called habit if I start doing one thing today for the next three weeks it registers in my subconscious mind it begins to register in my subconscious mind my subconscious mind begins to believe that hmm Adam Angie is now constantly doing this then if I spend another twenty-one days that thing is becoming normal then I spend another 21 days is permanent that is how we learn to sin now we have to undo that because the tendencies will come back so when you start off you need to constantly say I lost you will fight this flesh and die to it and say look let's go to poverty every morning Jesus killed this thing in me I want to serve you I know I have the tendency to look at ladies I know I hope this I know I have that I deal with it every day I am not anywhere close to anyone but I die daily I see I will not touch you I look I will not touch you can roll it I'm shaky but look I look god bless you you got rated in his image I hope my soul like pilgrims progress they might say I don't know I must make it if you go play Polly with this theme bread dream this is where the problem is you say you don't want to do yet you are sitting there the heat is warming you if I eyes for me hey pour cold water yeah man that is wrong that is not right that is not right please please please please there is power in habit if I go to the grace every morning and say I want to run this race and playing for grace Jesus give me give me give me your spirit this morning I must come again tomorrow because yesterday is not enough for tomorrow it's not every day you come back now you don't base it on feeling I don't feel like doing it today it doesn't work with Christianity well I die it's like I don't feel like a feeling oriented Christianity leads to hell you have to base it on what God wants you to do does one the Paul was telling people to exercise myself on to godliness please please no man don't let them displace your your-your-your stand for God please please please you want him you know in the end we will make it when you when you think back on last week's sermon and as someone like this and many more sermons that are going to come they are all to shaping us so that we are fit for heaven so finally you know what I want to pray this you know this bliss this man of God he said something I'm gonna read the last paragraph but before I read that he wanted to learn how to play the piano like blackbaud me he wanted to learn how to play the organ so he just went down it's not how to lend people that but I make this teaching every Sunday I see them way too deeply look those who have done the work a happy those who have not paid the price music let me tell you there is a price it's not all fun if you want to get the results there is a price to pay who said whoever told you Christianity was not supposed to hurt is it the biggest liar if you Jesus Christ did not say that he said that will follow me must take his cross take his cross and the instrument of death is that fun that's not fun so if you have been identified with the cross where is your crown this is what Barack shrinker says here then is your answer regularly read the scriptures prayerfully do as they say according to schedule regardless of how you feel remember that oh the last point perhaps points to the biggest problem of all we give up may you not give up we give up because we don't feel like doing something again there is much that we don't feel like doing but there are only two ways to live they reflect two kinds of religion and two kinds of morality one religion and life sorry one religion and life and morality says I will live according to feeling that one doesn't work the other says I will live as God says which way do you belong are you badly if not what are you going to do about it there is only one possible way to become godly you must be disciplined toward godliness if you are truly sorry that you have ignored God and lived in your own ungodly way up to now then turn to his son in faith in faith confess it on your shortcomings and be saved he says then you may join the rest of us bless this god bless him because why he was saying this he only had nine more years to live he didn't know we don't know how short or how long so he said then you will join the rest of us who by the grace of God not our strenght by the grace of God have the unspeakable privilege and pls challenge to discipline ourselves toward godliness which is to say toward Christ himself I am wishing you a brilliant success at the end of your academic year in your various institutions of higher learning it were for students but we are all students on that Greece let's come forward dedicate our lives to God rededicate our lives to God and discipline ourselves we make the decision here but we do the walk over there and God will help us [Music] [Applause] [Music] [Applause] [Music] [Applause] [Music] [Applause] [Music] whistles father we thank you thank you for aware of their cross it is the way of righteousness and of discipline Lord we have cast our vote for you we have dedicated our lives unto you we did not choose to be a Christian by mistake now we took a deliberate decision we have decided our minds are made up we would make it to heaven regressed or discipline ourselves down this way of righteousness they crest or carry our cross and follow you na please hurry down today give everyone of us aloud equip bustable greatest mercy ability to walk the wave of world give us more of the grace to focus on us ego-self to narrow not God if there are people here that I yet to know this way of the cross Lord let this day be today same day volador let names be written in the book of life anyone and everyone let us look back from this way of the cross were asking today restore them back Allah and those that on the we're not please keep us going let us renew Paco go thank you for the prayers in Jesus name we have prayed [Music]

alaikum and uh good morning here and in nfl in rome but certainly good afternoon in bangladesh you have seen the agenda the opening session will be done by the the two gentlemen from fao and from dbs maybe the fao the assistant representative of fao would you like to start with your welcome address oh yeah thank you very much good afternoon and good morning colleagues at rome uh my name is noor khandakar i've been working as an assistant refugee representative program with the fa bangladesh so nothing to say just welcome all the trading participants and this training is being organized based on the request from the bangladesh bureau of statistics and uh thank you for the government department for nominating their officers for this training and i would like to request all the training participants kindly listen the lectures ask questions to enrich your knowledge and also i would like to thank our hq colleagues uh for you for acceptance uh to organize this training program and the resource person and thanks to the our colleague dr ramurun for coordinating with hq i wish a successful training thank you very much that's all from my side okay thank you dr noor now mr alauddin as our director of agriculture wing if you want to sell a few words of welcome please uh good afternoon and good morning in rome and assalamu alaikum i had nothing to say just to say hello and welcome like um thank you all thank you for your home and if you headquarter and have your bangladesh to earn such a program for bbs and which will help us by learning many things about the sdg indicator and i also want to thanks to uh your team mr naman mr paridhun and others team member for giving us time uh to deliver your sdz indicator 2.3.1 and 3.2 and also thanks to mr amirool to cooperate with us and for this training and i also hope that our participants will follow the norms of the training you have signed earlier how can we ask the question and which way yes and the norms of the training i think i hope that our participant will follow the norms and i also hope that this training will be fruitful for us and we will work together in future for this indicator and thank you again for parenting in this turning thank you all thank you uh [Music] mr alauddin and now we go to the introduction and objectives of the training but before we start talking about the objectives i give the floor to mr faridoon who will be the facilitator for this training all the three days this means that he will be the one dealing with all the logistical and technical issues if any participant has a difficulty please contact him and he will try to from his best to to help you so mr faridoon please talk about the rules of the virtual meeting uh so let me interrupt may i interrupt yes please if you show the participant list those who are not joining we can communicate with them but we are not seeing the participant list i have sent the participant list to dr islam no i i think he he stream in the screen in june okay okay the gym platform okay can you show that okay let me uh mr alodin you are now okay i think you are still attendees let me i will prompt you to panelist so you will be a panelist now and after some time you will see uh the list of attendees when you go to participants and you will push attendees you should see the list of attendees okay thank you you're welcome can you also send it to mr kamrul islam so you should make a mr kamrul islam also as a panelist it already no no i haven't done it i think no i see him there the punished really yeah so mr camro can you see the leaks of participants mr camron islam now you are a panelist you should see the attendees and yeah you will identify who is here or who is uh missing i replaced also to include dr ramik for the time being let him let him know let him be the penalties can you say our assistant doctor is in a panelist okay okay uh no faridoon uh dr noor is some of the the participants he's not a panelist at the moment okay okay okay now yeah sometimes it works very slow now i don't know what's wrong with this i'm trying to promote him to analysts but [Music] system doesn't allow me to do this so [Music] uh yeah shall we continue so we have two panelists for the moment who can check the list of attendees you have dr camron dean mr kamrul can you check please yes sorry we are not saying sorry sorry we are not seeing the participant list mr allahuddin i don't know but uh yeah i cannot promote you to panelists maybe there is some limitation for panelists oh no now you should uh we'll be joining panelists also also please you know as i indicated i think what he's asking is where can he see the list of uh participants sorry where can he find the list of passes okay you he needs to go to participants and push attendees which is in the right side and the attendees there are there are now 27. you can see all of them here you are also a panelist you should go to participants and push attendees oh thank you now you got it happy have you included opportunity assistance he is saying that he had some technical problems adding more panelists that's why the assistant director assistant representative was not among the panelists for the moment i don't know but it's i cannot make him panelists i don't know why but we have already three people to monitor this right yes please your side i think it should be fine i'm wrong we have uh i'm ruling nice okay yeah okay if it's okay can i continue shall we continue uh once again i would like to brief you about some uh rules uh of the meeting for uh today's ever webinar and please be attentive uh okay it's preferably if you use your laptops rather than your mobile phones or plan or tablets please make yourself comfortable and please select some silent plays you know the additional sounds do not disturb you during the webinar if you have any additional applications opened please close your applications but and uh if you see that there is some problems uh if you are the in the the panelist you should turn off your video and it will save some uh let's say megabits uh or kilobits of your internet uh it is proposed to update and your zoom before the webinar every time you should check the updates and download the new version of the application preferably if you have the headset or earphones please use them and session from the beginning until the end will be recorded so if you want if you don't want to show your uh video you should turn off your video and uh talk without the video uh please every time uh after your after your speech mute uh your uh your sound if you have any question this is relates to uh to attendees please push the q a part and write your question or there is another way there is another method to ask the question is by pushing the right hand if you will see that you have right your hand we will give you a floor so you will be able to uh to provide your question uh it's preferred that you uh properly write your name and uh for the time uh the team will ask the questions the quiz zoom please ensure that you reply all the questions uh we are planning to do this this quiz at the end of the webinar on the third day it will be some evaluation questions so please reply to this evaluation questions if you have any questions as i said uh please push the q a or raise your hand and in the chat please send the message only to me if you need help if you will need any kind of the help related to zoom yeah and if you have any technical issues as i said before uh this uh this virtual meeting with virtual training webinar will be recorded and at the end of the webinar at the end of the third day we will provide you mr naman keita will provide you all the supporting documentation this is the powerpoint presentations and other necessary documents thank you very much and good luck to everyone okay so anybody has any very very quick and short question technical question regarding how to to handle this this remote training if not we just go to the next part of the presentations okay so i i think there is no no additional question so we go to the the next item of the agenda which is the introduction the objectives of this training before that i would really like to thank all the people from dbs i see that initially we were thinking that it would be from bbs but we saw that also the minister of agriculture sent some participants and the minister of food also sent some participants which means that there is a very good interest in this training so we are very happy with that and we accept that we will have a very successful presentation training and i'm trying to open now my powerpoint okay i don't know if you can see it everybody can see my presentation yes okay so there it is okay so this is a very very short one just to to to introduce this training and what are the objectives and what we expect at the end of this training so just few words about the background of these sustainable development goals they were adopted at the un's summit in september 2015. the title of this summit was transforming our world the 2030 agenda for sustainable development and during this political high high level political meeting they adopted 17 sustainable development goals and among those 17 there is a goal number two which is ending hunger achieve food security and improve nutrition and promote sustainable agriculture so that's the the the goal which is of interest to us for this training further down this goal has been broken down into eight targets including target 2.3 the target 2.3 is to double agriculture productivity and income of small small-scale food producers now you know that all this process has been started with the political people but when it comes to monitoring those goals and targets you need to talk to the statisticians and you need to translate these political statements into actionable statistical objectives and tools and indicators so that's where the this indicator 2.3.1 and 2.3 when two comes in so after several technical meetings of the interagency group of the u.n it was decided to to select these two indicators 231 and 232 in order to monitor the target 2.3 but i think the next presentation by jakob will provide more detail on the indicators 2.3.1 and 2.3.2 again the un has decided that uh some of the institutions are custodians of a number of indicators fao is a question of 21 indicators including indicator 2.3.1 and 2.3.2 and once you you have defined the indicators the the issue is to define a detailed methodology that can be accepted by tools by all and that can be used to compile the indicator so in 20 after several discussions meetings and the consultation with member countries in 2018 indicators 2.3.1 and 2.3.2 have been reclassified as tier 2 indicators which mean that an internationally agreed methodology is available for the data collection at the required levels of disaggregation computation and reporting so this is a very very important step because without a clear methodology you cannot compile the the indicators so that's why the focus of this training will be on the methodology to to compile indicator 231 and 232 so once the methodology is defined fo has been working with the countries for the all 21 indicators that has been reached the level of chair two to try to build the capacity in the countries in order to collect uh monitor and compile the the indicators 231 and 232 because at the at the end this should be done by the countries themselves so the capacity building is a key key element in the process of monitoring of these indicators the the issue is that you know for has a long experience in capacity building but with the the unforeseen covet pandemic this resulted in restrictions in international travels so that the traditional way of doing capacity building could not be used anymore so that's why instead of face-to-face training sessions and thanks to this uh advancing technology like zoom and other platforms it is now possible to do the virtual training doing it remotely and so this is a new method with all the challenges that it goes with of course we have seen this morning and also certainly we cannot enjoy seeing each other physically but at least it's a it's an effective way of providing the training also so basically the aim of this training is to build capacity in the national statistical offices on the methodology data collection tools and reporting mechanisms for sdg 231 and 232 specifically the objectives or the trainings are for one is to build capacity of the staff in bangladesh and as i said in the beginning initially we were thinking of bbs only but now is expanded to the minister of agriculture and the minister of food on the methodology compilation and interpretation of 231 and 232 to introduce the tools for data collection including an overview of possible data sources the third day we'll talk about that and to discuss the available micro data useful to compute and report on indicators 231 and 232 so this initially we were hoping that we could have a concrete micro data level of for these indicators from bangladesh but uh we we thought that maybe it's better to to do the indicator and they take some over country data as examples and then after that maybe at another time to see to to to support bangladesh in using their own micro data because they require micro data from holding level micro data not the aggregated data we need the data at the micro level the holding level so we'll see if this kind of data is available in bangladesh and if not what are the gaps and how we can work together using the tools that fao is developing the aggregates and others in order to fill the gap the data gap so that the indicators can be calculated the outputs are 2 basically it was 37 but now we need to correct this i think i count it 41 so we will have 41 staff trend on the methodology and tools for sdg 231 and 232 and hopefully at the end of this training also if you can agree on a short action plan to summarize the actual situation regarding the availability of the data and to identify the gaps and to agree on how we can fill those gaps data gaps in order in order to be able to compute the indicators so this is uh basically the the the purpose of this training and the main points of the agenda i will not go through all of them you have seen them in the the program so basically we have after all this introduction we'll do two main thing two three main part of the training one is to define the small scale food producer this will be done today the second one with a practical exercise also so we'll make a presentation and practical exercise the second is the methodology and steps for computing the two indicators with a practical exercise also and the third one will be the data sources and questionnaires and data items that are needed to compute the the two indicators as i said at the end we hope that also we will have hear from our colleagues from bbs on what are the surveys going on now what are the data gaps and how we can work together in order to fill in these data gaps so more or less this is the objectives of this training and i am sure that we'll have a very successful training and if you have any technical or logistics problems we are all here myself i am naman retiree from fao i am acting as a senior consultant in addition we have jakob who is a statistician also at the office of the chief statistician in rome in fair headquarters in rome we have ida khalil who is also a statistician in the same office office of the chief statistician we have two other colleagues who are not present today because they are working on the the practical exercises so we have a audrey sanu who is also a statistician and we have max chang who is also a statistician now to support all this training we have of course you know already uh mr fari boon aquino who is also from the office of the chief statistician so this is from our side what we have and i will stop here so that we save some time and start with the the training itself thank you very much and now i think i give unless there is any urgent question i give the floor to jakob okay good morning everyone okay can you see my screen yes good ah so my presentation is very short we're uh i mean a little bit late uh due to different uh technical issues therefore i will try to to save some time from from my side from this presentation it's going to be very brief and short it's just the introduction introducing the these two indicators that we're really interested in for this training 2.31 and 2.332 maybe before going to that one i mean naman started talking about this issue of you know custodian agencies i know as you know we have about 231 indicators uh to measure these sdgs where the goals of the 17 course of the sdgs and the fao is responsible or custodian for 21 of the sdg indicators which mainly revolve around six of the goals in hunger gender equality clean water food loads and waste [Music] life below water and forests so about 21 indicators which is about 9 of the total indicators which is i mean compared to the mdgs it is it is uh really a large amount of indicators is is is is become a responsibility of fpo compared to the mdgs which shows that you know uh we showed that you know the the issue of uh agriculture and the mandate of fao in terms of sustainable development is becoming very clear that's what this shows so as a custodian agency what do we do well i mean as i said these two under 31 indicators are divided among different agencies to be to be to be responsible as a custodian so the first thing that as a custodian agent is that we should be doing is uh develop the methodology you know let me need the methodology development and documentation of the indicators uh for these 21 indicators we all we i was able to develop all the metallurgical developments therefore all indicate all the 21 indicators are either tier one or tier two therefore there is no any indicator and direct focus of studentship without you know methodological development therefore the minimum it is tier two and the maximum is we have started you know regenerating the data as well therefore tier one we also uh as a custodian agency are responsible to support the statistical capacity of countries to generate and disseminate data that's what we are trying to do with this 231232 today because there should be a great capacity at the country level to make sure that the data the indicators are generated we also try to help countries collect data and show their compatibility quality consistency and then finally as a custodian agency we contribute to monitoring progress at global level in particular but also at regional international level having said that even though we we really play a great role in terms of capacity technical assistance the drivings i mean the the driving seat or the countries are going to should be at the driving seat in terms of generating data required for uh measuring this sdg in indicators that's why we are trying to build the system in specifically this issue of uh 231232 is is part of a goal too to end hunger active food security and improve nutrition and promote sustainable agriculture and undergo as you know we have different goals and this indicator of 231232 is uh basically focused on target two point three which says buy to anesthetic doubles agricultural productivity and income of small scale food producers this is here is we need to to to have to to understand a lot of the technical issues to be to be to be to be understood in this simple statement first it is about small scale uh food producers who are they who are the small scale for food products how do we really differentiate the the small scale produces is this an absolute measurement to the relative measurement can we say like you know any any anybody with less than half an actor or one hectare is a small scale producer what about you know what do you mean by doubling the the the income how do we measure this income and what are the critical components that we should really take into consideration to globally you know measure this uh this increment in in income for identification of the the smallholders the identification of what components of income has to be considered to to have the standard comparability result at the end of the day is is very very important that's what we are going to discuss in this thing it's not only giving at a global or national level but we need to make sure that no one is left behind this is when we are able to to to disaggregate this indicator and in different ways like you know with respect to gender indigenous peoples family farmers pastoralists and you know in different disaggregation techniques which is very critical to to to to to make sure that no one is left behind therefore indicator two three one two three two are basically related to goal two target three and this really requires a certain two to two to make sure that we really know who are these smaller holders and how to really measure this their their incomes and productivity how do we measure this productivity what is the the best way of measuring productivity it is labor it is land these are the issues that really really to identify but there must be some consensus to be built in order to make sure that you know international comparability among different countries can be confident therefore measuring productivity in terms of what measuring uh income in terms of what type of uh critical income components if the type of discussions that we are going to have in the next three days so under this target 2.3 to to measure to measuring double the income and productivity of the the small scale holders there are two indicators derived one is two three one it talks about the volume of production per level per level it's it aims to to to to it aims to measure to measure how much volume can be produced per unit per unit of level therefore it is to make to make sure that this thing is doubled by the end of the the sdg period by 2030 therefore we need the first one measures how much volume can be produced per unit level while the second one is talks about the average income of small scale food producers very disaggregated by different types of disaggregation including sex and in indigenous status here it refers to the acute and actual net earnings that the food producers obtain from their agricultural activities as i said which type of income to be considered is we are going to to to see later on so there are two things here one is a volume of production the other is the income as as we say the target talks about double the productivity and income and we are going to measure using two indicators one dedicated to volume of production one dedicated to average income but in order to measure these two things the first critical thing we need to do to understand is who are these guys who are these small scale farmers and why are we really interested in these small scale producers uh i will come to that point uh in the next slide this indicator 2.31 it's it doesn't stand just by its uh by its own it's really interlinked with different uh uh indicators and goals in particular this uh indicates these indicators two through and three are related to [Music] goal 1 in poverty gender equality and good jobs and economic growth and content which reduce inequality for instance by promoting development policies in favor of small scale producers the local economy will be strengthened that means we are improving or we are contributing to the end of poverty therefore it's related to goal 1 of the svg the same we are going to disaggregate to make sure that you know we have this uh small scale productivity increased and disaggregated by gender in that case we are really promoting you know gender equality target 2.3 deals with average labor productivity which is really related to good jobs and economic growth which is focused of the goal aids so as i said this is not standing by its own but it's really contributes to the achievement of the other uh important goals there and there is a big of a bit of inter relationship among different goals of the sdgs as i said why why are we really interested in small scale producers now this is very very important you know here as we speak more than 500 million small small farmers are available worldwide most are related in red fed no technology no other means of production but they wait for the annual seasonal rains but they provide up to 80 percent of food consumed in the large part of the developing world therefore without considering this large population of the wallet who are contributing for the large production of food food consumed in in the wallet we are cannot really uh be sure that we as we achieved the sdgs significant number of uh people um mostly relying on rain but probably contribute to the large amount of food production therefore we did these are very important therefore we need to make sure that we have adequate policies for these guys so that they uh they improve their productivity as well as their income so that we have no one left behind in this endeavor investing in small uh smallholder women and men is important way to increase food security because they they contribute to food security among their holding level as well as in the community level as as you speak small-scale food producers are one of the main workforces and then we can't just leave this large number of workforces with this type of vulnerability with less productivity and less income in before the end of the sfgs in general supporting small-scale food producers service multiple purposes in particular securing food security sustainable rural livelihood as well as global food production therefore due to these main importance results this is important to focus on this small scale for producers that's why we have a specific target a specific indicator to monitor how they are progressing this is not a new initiative to be honest this issue of like you know improving the small-scale life livelihoods but it will it won't when it doesn't move uh as as it has been deserved why the first critical problem was absence of a common and clear definition of the target population what is who are small-scale producers there was no any standard definition to be applied globally until we have these two this this 2.3 the definition of smaller small scale holders for computing these two three one two two three two therefore that was one of the critical limitations therefore you know different countries use different type of approaches land size livestock size or income you know therefore comparability was not really impossible therefore lack of standardized definition of identification of these small scale holders hinders how to properly measure the the the productivity and income of smallholders so without this definition if you don't have such standard definition there is no systematic information about small-scale food producers because you can't collect data which what based on what type of definition are you going to collect data about this small scale formula holders therefore no standard definition it hinders an availability of data so if you don't have a timely data you know timely data and you know continuous the system of data generation based on standard definition there is no way that you can develop effectiveness and you will be able to to design effectively a policies that should uh target this this population therefore even though there are there were some attempts in different you know very dismantled way but there was no any standard things due to the three uh main and the the points that i raised absence of standard definition that lacks an ability of data and then therefore there is no any policy process in this regard now this issue of target 2.3 extraction plan is to add to to to to fill this gap and come up with a proper approach so that this can be really measured properly therefore the action plan of this target 2.3 focus in identifying small scale food producer with which in the next minutes ida will be presenting how to how to really identify the small scale producers how to collect to to to make sure that data is collected based on this uh to address to to generate data for these indicators and and then through this service fill the data gaps then once we have standard definitions once we are able to have to fill the data gaps then the next step would be to compute to to measure you know the the the the development on this small scale producers therefore this we this training will be focusing on two issues now defining small scale for uh holders and how to manage that to to generate data and compute the sdg to 3.1 indicator then the policy part will be will not be part of this this training as you as you can expect so this is what we will be covering in this two three two days of the training so when we try to report on target 2.3 it requires the regular monitoring of these two indicators to 31232 therefore we have developed methodologies that can entail in into three steps one is as i said repeatedly how do we identify the small scale skillful producers that's one component of the training the second would be how to compute indicator 2.3.1 which is output per level unit and the third one would be how to compute the income component which is 2.3.2 therefore you know we focus we spend a reasonable amount of time for in the second part the first part which is very very critical because we need to identify who are these guys who are the small skill holders therefore the the next session station will be discussing that one once we identify those things then how do we compute the productivity what are the components that we should be considering in terms of you know computing the product for productivity how do you compute this productivity per level and how do we really what are the components that we really should be considering in terms of computing the for the income as well you know which variables are critical uh in this methodological definitions that we developed therefore these are the three things that we should be first focusing finally before i close the critical problem is having the data this requires farm level data i mean the farm level data is required to make sure that we have we have we we we generate this this in this indicator this can be obtained in a regular service in many countries this is the the challenge because uh you know regular annual agricultural surveys are not a usual practice in most parts of the country for to fill these cups efforts proposing uh the integra agriculture integrated survey or agris program and in the uh the purpose of this uh aggress is to bridge the ten-year gap that normally exists between agricultural censuses and agriculture collects data every year for core module when you say core module which includes current agricultural production its value and then we can we can have a rotating model module which collects about the economy which collects about the labor which are really important to to to to to compute this to indicators therefore the the bottom line is there should be a regular uh data generation mechanism and then as naman was saying we should be hearing from you how you your system is working and then how we can really come up with an action plan to make sure that this type of data can be regularly generated so that we in a bangladesh can compute spg23123232 in a regular basis so we need some type of system which can generate this the data that's required to compute 2 3 1 2 3 2 so that we can generate data on 2 231 and 232 in a regular basis i think this is you know what i have as an introduction and the technical issue of you know discussing how to identify smaller scale for producers how to compute two three one two three two is going to follow thank you very much okay we have a question thank you jacob i see mr um that's the question okay minus please unmute your microphone and ask your question please uh your microphone is muted menace just click on the [Music] the small icon for the microphone maybe it was a mistake okay so if there is no anyway the questions you will you have some wrap up at the end and if the question we skip any question now we we have time to raise them so to for the sake of time maybe either if you are ready you can go with your presentation thank you so assalamu alaikum everyone good afternoon and thanks to all the participants to for joining us today and to naman and jacob for the nice introduction so i'm ida khalil uh a statistician from the office of digital statistician and i will present on on one of the components of the methodology methodology for indicator two three one and two 232 precisely on the definition of a small scale food producer so i will start by sharing my screen um okay can you all see my screen yeah yes perfect so um as i was saying this definition with this presentation will only focus on the identification of small-scale food producers both in theory and in practice so in this session we will see the theory behind this methodology and after the break we will do a practical exercise to put this theory in practice so uh this is the structure [Music] of the presentation first i will recap in the target 2.3 and the indicators that have been selected to monitor this target then i will give you a brief overview of all the frequently adopted criteria to define small holders that we found in the in the literature when we were developing the methodology to define small scale food producer for sdg monitoring you will see that all the approaches that are available in the literature can be either absolute or relative and we will discuss the difference between these two types of approaches and then after giving all the let's say all the background i will introduce the methodology that has been adopted by uh dfo explaining all the concepts and definition and and and discussing the data items that are needed to identify uh small orders so um during my presentation you will you will have various ways to to to ask for questions either in the chat or in the q a q a section otherwise you can raise your hand and we will let you present your questions at the end of of my presentation okay so um as jacob presented earlier the target 2.3 aims at doubling by 2030 the agricultural productivity and incomes of small-scale food producers in particular women indigenous people family farmers pastoralists and fishers including through secure and equal access to land other productive resources and inputs knowledge financial services markets and opportunities for value addition and farm employment so the the critical aspect here is to understand who these small-scale food producers are so the the income of whom we we should double and the activity of whom we should indicators indicator 231 and indicator 232 indicator 231 is about the volume of production of small scale food producer per labor unit and indicator 232 is about the income of of small scale food producers um okay so both these indicators are now in tier two so meaning that there is an international agreed methodology for their computation and uh their reporting great unfortunately is below the 50 of countries so the the reporting rate of this indicator is still very low when these two indicators were endorsed uh they were both in tier three so there was no uh international and the aggregate methodology that could be used to compute them and the main reason why methodology was missing was the lack of an international standard an international clear definition of the target population meaning the small-scale food producer so the methodology that efa was proposed covers three areas basically the identification of the target population the small scale food producer the computation of indicator 231 so the productivity and the computation of indicator 232 so the income now we will focus only on the identification of the target population so here i would like to give you a brief overview let's say of the history of the endorsement of of this definition so the dfil started working on this definition in 2016 and beginning of of 2017 and then it was submitted by the interagency and expert group on sdgs in may 2017. in august 2017 this definition was endorsed by the share of the eig sdg and and after endorsement the dfa wanted to consult member countries on the proposed definition so during the fall 2017 if you call for a global consultation thanks to which we receive feedbacks from 58 national and regional institutions uh so this uh this refinements that were included in the um in the definition and uh let's say that the 70 ig sdg meeting the methodology for the two indicators was considered acceptable but some refinements were still needed first of all uh we needed to understand if including one or not including non-professional farm uh from the target population and then um like the definition needed to be adapted to countries with a a quite homogeneous farm scale where large size farmer may end up being considered small so following an in-depth uh in-depth discussion uh an additional test test between may and july 2018 it was agreed that the small-scale food producer would be identified by using the approach proposed by the field that we will see in the in the rest of the presentation and then excluding obby farms from the from the computation so ob farms should not be included in the definition of smolders and applying a maximum cup to exclude farmers that have revenues above 25 000 euro that have been uh converted in ppp us dollars as uh 35 and 387 uh international dollars uh so this is more or less all and this methodology was approved on the seats of the standard 2018. so from that day this is the methodology that we will see during this training is the official methodology that has been agreed by the eig sdg so before entering into the details of the approach proposed by dfo i will provide a brief overview of all the alternative approaches that were found in the literature to define a small-scale food producer uh so indeed uh before proposing a definition d if you performed an extensive literature review of all the approaches that that were available both in uh let's say scientific journal but also the definitions that were used by national statistical offices or in international organization producers let's see that is uh it was a challenge to reach a consensus on uh on a definition so on who the small scale food producer are and this is because uh they have been defined in various ways depending on the con and the context so on the use of the definition that that needed to be done and on the uh specific countries so uh in the let's say generally speaking small kale a scale food producer can include farmers pastoralists artisans fishers and forest dependent communities so um some of the presumed characteristics of this population are in terms of type of production you need small scale producers are normally imagine as producers that cultivate small volumes own or use small plot of lands or use literal or new technology and rely mainly on family labor on the other side for what concerned the economic situation it is assumed that a small-scale food producer very often belong to the informal economy are vulnerable in the supply chains with relatively low revenues and often uh let's say besides the on-farm activities they have also other off-farm activities in terms of income generation so uh in the literature based on different credit based on they can be grouped on let's say four groups criteria based on the amount of factors of production for example the amount of operated land the amount of labor uh the amount of of production then there are criteria based on the share of family workers in the ordinance so the amount of family labors that is used in the audi criteria based on concepts referring to the connection between the holding and the market so the amount of on consumption or the market orientation of the origin and pre criteria based on the economic size of the holding so the the revenues generated by the holding so by reviewing all this definition we we realized that the land size so the the first type of criteria criteria based on the amount the future of production and particularly on the amount of land use was the most national definition of small scale footprint the number of uh la or the number of livestock cats so all these criteria need to be quantitative in the sense that there is a need to set thresholds that allow to separate small scale food producer from other producers um these thresholds can be set either in absolute terms of or relative terms so let's see what is the the difference before uh continuing i want just to make sure if that my connection is working well and you can hear me so if someone could confirm that you are hearing me you're good either okay thank you jakub so as i was saying all these uh criteria need to be quantitative so for example if we look at the amount of land we need to find the variables or the amount of land that can be quantified and the threshold should be established to separate small-scale food producer from other producers and these thresholds can be set in absolute or relative terms so uh an absolute treasure is that a threshold that is fixed and it's the same for all uh farmers of all countries let's say so a threshold that is the same for all countries regardless the for example the agricultural logical zone the socio-economic condition of the countries and an example of absolute threshold if you consider for example the land size approach is to for example call small all the food producers that operate less than a given number of hectares of land so for example two hectares of land a relative approach instead is a relative threshold that changed depending on the reference system so on the context so in the uh within the sdg monitoring framework the threshold would correspond to a specific percentile of the selected criterion variable in each country so for example all the production unit falling below the 25th percentile of the land distribution can be considered as part of the group so a absolute or relative approach this is the main distinction so the process of an absolute approach is that it can enhance comparability across country but at the same time it disregards difference among national context so what is small in one country could not could be big in another country let's consider for example like uh australia that operates uh or of countries like brazil that operate a big big land so all the farmers have relatively very big land so if we would set an absolute threshold we may end up with zero small scale producer in that specific country although you may have for example producers that are relatively uh [Music] small compared to the countries the the the producer in the countries on the other hand the uh the relative approaches are let's say don't allow perfect comparability but allow identifying in each country producer who are relatively disadvantaged in terms of the selected criteria so this uh these type of approaches reflect more the country specific differences so for example in a country like brazil where all the food producers operate big amounts of land you would still have small scale food producer because there will be some producer that operates an amount of land that is small if compared with the let's say for example the average size of land in the country so let's see now the approach that has been used by the fao first of all we focus on the criteria that have been used so dfo adopted a methodology based on the combination of two criteria the physical size of the farm and the economic size of the farm we will see later how these criteria are combined together but for now just let's just focus on the let's say on concept so to define the physical size of the farm we look at the size of the land and the size of earth so the number of animals in the farm uh to see the economic size of the farm instead we see the amount of revenues generated by the farm so using this criteria dfao adopted a relative approach so to identify producers who are relatively disadvantaged in terms of access to land availability of livestock and economic revenues with homogeneous criteria so uh the three criteria are combined adopting a really a relative approach and and and this was done because in in a context uh like the sdg monitoring framework where many come many like all different countries need to be put let's say on a comparable scale scale using an absolute approach uh would uh disregard national differences and and perhaps in the end turns uh in also in less comparability because as as i was saying what is big in one country may be small uh in another and here i i put a little example to to explain a paradox that we could uh incur in uh when using for example an absolute threshold such as i don't know five hectares of land to define small orders imagine like australia where everyone as big parcel of land you would have a very very very small percentage of farmers operating less than five actors perhaps only ob farms and then you would have country where like the netherlands where there are a lot of farmers operating small uh small person but using uh very productive uh agricultural systems such as i don't know greenhouses or or or these let's say uh enhanced technologies were very small parcels can be very uh productive so you would uh let's say classify a small as small scale and vulnerably 80 percent of farmers while perhaps they they are not actually so if you decided to use this uh relative approach by combining we said two criteria so the physical size of the farm which is expressed by the land size so all if we look at the land size all the producers that fall in the bottom 40 percent of the accumulated distribution of land size in actors are classified as small with respect to the land we will see late how to implement this uh this definition so producer falling in the bottom forty percent of the cumulative distribution of the land size then uh with respect to livestock you have the producer falling in the bottom forty percent of the cumulative distribution of total life stockheads and these together so the land size and the livestock type define the physical size of the farm for this small small-scale food producer definition and then we have the economic size of the farm uh where we are we classify as small all the farmers that follow a fall in the bottom 40 percent of the distribution of total revenues measured in ppp so in um in parity purchasing power with a cup of uh 35 and 387 us dollars so this was a cup that was suggested by by canada or yeah but by some developed countries that we're saying okay a farm can be small but should like should not exceed revenues of of this size because with revenues greater of this size we cannot consider a a farm as uh small so in order to be classified as small catfood producer a food producer needs to satisfy condition a one b two plus the uh cup so all together so to conclude uh we have this situation so we have the producer in the bottom forty percent of the accumulation accumulated distribution of the physical size which is given by the land size and the word size then we have the producer in the bottom 40 percent of the cumulative distribution of total revenues and the intersection of this group give us the small scale food producers so all conditions need to be satisfied okay so let's see important concepts and definitions so we we said no that we use an absolute ah sorry a relative criteria a relative approach and three criteria the physical size of the firm that looks at the land size and the word size and the economic size of the farm that look at the total revenue so here we have to understand okay how do we compute the land size what type of land do do we consider uh in this calculation when we look at the earth size we have to understand how do we compute the total number of like the lifestyle counts in an international internationally comparable way and then for the economic size we have to understand which are the components of revenues that should be considered so for what concerned the land size the definition of some small scale food producer used the terms of sorry the concept of operated land the operated blend includes only plots that are actually used for agricultural activities so these include when when you will compute the land size you will have to consider all the land that is cultivated with permanent crops then all the land that is cultivated with temporary crops and the fallow land so the land that is left uncropped and not dedicated to grazing so the land that is the let's say is left there to to rest and and use for for uh next years and it it exclude all the land rented out so the ownership of the land is not considered in this uh section you you will include also all the plots that are used for these purposes but are rented from someone else and we exclude the land that is rented out so that is used used by other farms the forest land and the land that has been abandoned prior to the reference period so these are the three components that should be included in the computation for what concern the number of livestock we needed like to to use something comparable at international level so instead of looking just at the number of cattle plus i don't know the number of buffalos cheap quotes and so on we refer to uh let's say an international scale of conversion factor that is called tropical livestock units so for each type of livestock you have a conversion factor of course these conversion factors depends on the on the region you are here so uh for example for kato you will have a conversion factor of 0.5 for buffalo 0.5 sheep 0.1 and this unit of measure standardized different likes of types in a single measurement through a conversion factor that is valid for specific livestock types in specific areas of the world so basically what you should do is when when you have the uh you look at the livestock uh stock by a in in agricultural london's biologists category uh this should be converted in tropical livestock unit before determining the uh livestock size for the definition of smallholders so then the total revenue this is the last component uh as you know like um it wouldn't make sense to consider the the economic size in terms of volume of production per se because it doesn't make much sense to some for example apple the production of apple with the production of maize or carrots and so on so looking at revenues allow us standardizing the production volume for different products so normally when you compute revenues you have the volume of production multiplied by a constant selling cost and selling price so uh in the small order definition depending of course on the data that are available from your survey so this is an important element but in theory you should include revenues from crop livestock fisheries aquaculture and forestry very often we we work with countries where only revenues from crop and livestock are available but of course if other components are available they should be included so revenues are computed with this formula so where you have the uh v e k t stands for the volume of reduction for product e of producer k during here t and then p e k t stands for the price the custom selling price received by the small scale food producer k for the electrical product t during the same here t so basically what you have to do is for a given producer you have to find let's say the volume of reduction by product in a given here multiplying it by its uh it's a constant selling price and some the value of production for each uh product to get the the total revenue of the farm so the revenue should not be expressed in your local currency unit but should be converted in purchasing power policy us dollars so that we have a comparable measure of of of these revenues like we put these revenues in an international comparable way the conversion factor to produce ppp u.s dollar revenues can be found in the link that i've put in these slides you see there's uh you you will be able to to select your country and find the uh ppp for a given uh given year so normally you have the revenues expressing your local currency unit it's enough to multiply it by the conversion factor that you will find at this link and you will get the value of revenues that you should use for the small order definition okay so now um we we can see together which are the main components of the revenues so very very often you will find yourself with the value of production directly to be multiple sorry the quantity produced minus ways to be multiplied by the price but otherwise like the revenues components are the crop sold so the quantity of crop that has been sold the quantity of crop that has been used for own consumption the quantity of crop used for feed so that have been used to feed the livestock uh crops save the seeds they crop stored for next seasons the crop used for byproducts so for example flower or straw the crop given as a gift uh the crop used for paying input so being labor rent and other input and the crop exchange in share cropping agreements similar similarly there are the components of the livestock revenues such as the livestock soul live so the animal that you sell life then the livestock given as gift the livestock products such as the meat or by products such as dung sold livestock products used for on consumption uh livestock products and by products use as pay for inputs labor and or as laundry repayment but in general to pay for any input use in agricultural production and then livestock by product that is self-use so for example and this is also considered under as a cost for crop production then we have similarly the fishery revenues and the forestry revenue so if you you have data on fishery the main components are the capture fresh fish that is salt the capital processed fish that is sold so fresh fish is just the the sales of fish while uh dd the process fisher for example uh dry fish or yeah processed fish a capture fresh fish used for on consumption capture processed fish used for our consumption then the traded fresh fish that is sold and the traded processed fish that is sold and then for what concerns the forestry revenue we as we have all the forestry products that are sold uh the forestry products for own consumption forestry products stored uh forestry product use for paying labor for paying rent for paying inputs and giving out in sharecropping agreement so after this training we will share this presentation so you will have a complete reference of all the components that should be considered for uh the revenues uh so with this my presentation on this more order definition is finished and i leave space for questions or i can also go back to specific part of the presentation if something is not clear thank you very much so i don't know if norman wants to or jakob yeah i think it would be good to give the floor for any any questions yes who wants to break the ice i think there was a lot of conceptual things which is bombarded by idea i'm sure it might be a bit difficult to capture all in this 15 minutes hello i think i was off okay now i leave it for you now man no no it's okay i was just saying that we are a little bit behind the schedule but uh we can take maybe five ten minutes for questions because this is a very very important part of the the training so uh anybody who wants to ask questions to to either from the participants just one thing for you i cannot activate my video i don't know why it says that you have uh okay thank you yeah good okay doctor uh amy rule and all participants any questions clarifications you have or not at this moment because definitions are very clear but when we will go go to the exercise so how to you know capture from the main survey question that would be very very you know learning point actually so proceed for for the timing now and when any any question is there a particular participants will raise their hands and we see one right and you can have this thing from vbs as i want to know how can you calculate the white factor for cow buffalo gold how can you calculate the white sector and by a region to south asia either you got the questions yes yes have a question how can you calculate the weight chapter for cow buffalo go gp that's who is mentioned [Music] either [Music] how can you find out the white factor for those livestocks by okay so i'm i'm not sure i understood but i will share my screen on the on this slide that you are mentioning and we gathered [Music] how can you calculate the white people the question is like you know i think the question is clear how can you develop this conversion factor you know this tnu you know for different uh okay regions you know so how how can you say like for south asia it is 0.5 it is for the hotel for before and so forth i think you can answer that one it is out the outcome of different research activities and it's a scientific research output and it's an international standard table yes yes which has been developed through different researches therefore it is not existing like you know it is related to to to computing two three one two three two this has been there through the research output and for any comparison in terms of you know for example how much livestock do you have in in in ethiopia and in india in bangladesh you know the numbers are different if you want to make an international comparison you have to bring them into uh one unit which is they call it tropical livestock unit it is an output of a research activity actually yeah basically nephew we have a department that only works on on livestock related issues also livestock statistics and they have developed this international scale that is used not only for this indicator it's used for any many other purposes and basically the the objective is for example that a cow in the us is not the same as a cow in africa or in south asia like it did for example the meat that you can get from from through macau in different ecological zones the quantity of meat is different and the size is different so there's this con this conversion scale should bring everything to uh the size of of this type of animals like cattle in the us so all refers you see the north north america for example is one yeah so everything is compared to a cattle in the u.s bangladesh have two cows yes yes exactly yes and that depends on the on the size of a cattle in bangladesh i think there is a research behind this the biological considerations of the different species of animals so there could be a link sent to yes more detail on what is behind these numbers how they come about so there is a whole body of research yeah we can share that perhaps after this session is that okay any other question okay okay i see someone else who is asking the question you are muted islam [Music] my questions yes please in bangladesh one cattle is big and one cattle is small two cattle then it is a two well then it is one then we count it is one one is big and one is small then how how do we calculate uh is it one i think you should use the conversion factor in any case because that's what's what what are the other countries do like you you find the conversion factor for south asia for all for all sides i i would say so yes okay what do you think no no i think that's a very relevant question but i think those are really kind of proxies in order to be able to overcome the idea of not adding apples and oranges so if you have a cow you have a chicken you have a pig you know the main consideration is how to add the pigs and the cows and the chicken now you are right because if you say a cow you may have different ages of the cow different yeah have a big cow a small cow etc that's another aspect of the problem but this is tackling the higher problem of adding the species together but you are right i think there should be i don't know the answer of that but i think this this is also another consideration if you consider only the cow a small cow very small cow and a big cow so the value may not be the same you know maybe i have another question how do we calculate how do we how do we find out the uh yeah okay the smallest scale food producers how do we find out is there any thresholds yes so calculating yeah yeah yeah i will show you so now i will i will go back to my slide just one thing to add on the tlus conversion factor um what i think those conversion factors represent an average size yes for example a cattle in south asia so that's why you can multiply that by i don't know what big cows and small cows because that represents the average size of cattle's in in farms in south asia so so in the end that should be fine i will share my presentation again okay let's see okay so um i think i will better answer your question with the with the practical exercise but uh just to to clarify so so this is a relative approach meaning that the threshold is not like five actors or two actors or i don't know one thousand dollars of of product is a relative threshold that will be different in bangladesh with uh and i don't know pakistan or another country uh it it could be a a relative threshold that it depends on on the data that you have attend and the threshold will be computed for land detail use so the livestock and the revenues and you will determine the threshold by identifying i will i'll show you with the example but you will identify the land size of uh the farm that divides the bottom 40 percent of the accumulated distribution of land with the remaining one so uh uh i will show you like with an example it's very simple you have to sort by the the the holding by their length size then you accumulate the the land size you identify the maximum and the four 30 percent of this maximum accumulated value and uh looking at this uh 40 percent you will identify the farm that the one farm that divides the small farms from the big one uh but i think it's it will be much clearer with a practical example okay okay okay thank you we have a question in q a yes okay i can rate the question if in bangladesh australian free zone is brought up then the tlu which glue should be used it means a specie from australia but is brought to bangladesh so what would be used okay so this is a good question i think this this issue wasn't tackled before um so more than an answer like we can have a discussion on this so far i think for any for example for any cow in bangladesh we would have used one conversion factor it's true that you have local breeds and uh like um foreign breeds so naman what do you think maybe in this case i think it needs more we take the question yeah i i myself have the the this i have some breeds from holland in my park and i have some local breeds and they are completely different so the question is really very relevant i think we have also some specialists in the room among the participants what do you think from the minister of [Music] agriculture i don't know if livestock yeah you just know mary had something yes you know just you know the individual level there may be uh big differences but as a whole country level as ida was telling the average will be exactly 0.5 to compare with other countries especially latin america so i think you know the individual level this kind of breed uh we may find okay these are difference how come how come we consider point five only but as at the national level when you calculate the indicator people this will average out as a state station i can say but anyway every five years or even three years this you know conversion factor should be revised actually so that when collectively there are so many and hybrid bits cultivated in bangladesh so this you know conversion factor will go up close to the you know latino medical level that is my understanding too yes certainly i think that's a good answer and uh as ida also was pointing out all these numbers are averages you know so and you said it rightly because it's not applying to [Music] one individual farmer which is is average out through the whole country and it's average out through all the species and so maybe this uh mitigate a little bit reduce a little bit the impact of one specific type of species yeah that's what i can say i don't know either or yeah what do you want to add yeah i think for for me it is the same like you know maybe not only this type of thing but in most of the statistics you know there are exceptions you know therefore those you know those exceptions may not be able to be treated in such a national level survey therefore two or three individuals may have some something from outside and then you know i mean bringing those type of things in this type of national level analysis it would be difficult yes it is good if it can be as accurate as possible but at the same time we need to to face the reality and we are dealing with the statistics therefore i think in general this is the conversion factor that's being available irrespective of you know where the brits coming from as long as it's a cattle in bangladesh we use this conversion factor for the time being i think okay anyway those are very very interesting questions any other question before we break okay if there is no more question i think it [Music] then we understand everything what about our compression factor yes certainly and as ida was saying the next session will be about practical exam exercises you know all these presentations uh when when it comes to the practical exercises you can put the finger on all the specific things that come into the play so if there is no more question i propose we break normally we are supposed to we are supposed to start hello no no man continue yeah so for how long for how long we should take the day exactly so again we are a little bit behind the schedule because it's for 10 minutes maybe 10 minutes yeah i would say 10 minutes okay let's take 10 minutes so now what time is it there 346 so we will resume at 356. okay and they are participants please stay connected uh so i know you are you know you will be in connection and just know uh stay alert you know we'll start exactly on 355 56 okay 356. yeah thank you and in the meantime i think either we'll send some data so for the practical exercise please check your emails and uh either we'll be sending something some material okay see not to uh log out please stay in zoom like for 10 minutes we will mute uh our uh microphones yeah after 10 minutes you will just start yeah and i think you know you can stop you're going to stop recording for the time being of course of course i will stop recording okay okay good let's start the the the next and the last session for today very very important as a ida was saying there are two main aspects with this indicator one is to identify the small holder and you you see that it can be quite a bit complex how to identify and the next that we will see tomorrow is how to compute the indicators themselves so today the the as you have seen from the questions raised the the first step is really how to identify the indicators now after the presentation ida is going to go through a practical exercises so that we all understand how this process is put in practice either you have a floor yes thank you no one uh so during the break i've sent two excel files one is called uh file for practical demonstration that's the file that i will use to to show you the exercise that we have prepared and then there's one for hands-on exercise so that file will be for you in case you want to replicate the exercise that i will present so i will use a mix of powerpoint and uh excel and then yeah again if you have questions you have the chat the q a or you can raise your hand and and we will address questions at the end of the presentation okay so i will start by sharing the presentation okay so uh for the the practical computation so the practical identification of small small order we have three main steps the data preparation the computation of thresholds to identify small scale food producers so this i hope will answer to one of the questions that was raised before of the break and then how to the third step is the combination of the trash that we need to find in step two identified small scale food product first the main concept implement the steps of course the data that i will use are simplified data so uh certainly the survey data that you will use will be much more complicated to handle than those of this fictional example because uh for this exercise i've yeah i've used a fictional country data where we have all the variables that we need already at the at the household level or the farm level but as you know you may have for example crop related information that are collected by plot or like for example item related information that may be collected by uh by parcel by by by by other subgroups so you will have to to to work at the file to bring all uh the information at the also level so let's see uh step one uh data preparation so uh the data preparation is basically go from plot level data or other level data to household level data and compute the overall farm operated land so basically you have to compute the operated land by summing the land calculated with permanent crops land cultivated with temporary crops and fallow land then you will have to include all the clothes rented in that are used for other purposes to define this total sorry used for agricultural purposes uh to identify the operated land and exclude all the uh plots that are rented out in case you cannot compute the operated land uh which normally uh depends on whether the following information on fallout land is available or not you can use the cool cultivated land as a proxy okay so these are this is the part for the land size for the earth size we have seen that by livestock category we have to first take the livestock stock at holding level by lifestyle category and then by lifestyle category converting tlu and determine the total number of tlus then we have to compute the revenues from all agricultural activities that ideally are crop life sufficiently and forestry of course this will depend on the type of data that you have so if you have only drop in livestock you will use only uh crop and livestock and then you sum all the revenues components to get the total revenues and finally this point is not included in this slide you have to convert in ppp u.s donors so either you cannot hear you i will now go to excel to see in practice so i will i will share the excel file okay so basically um this is the first step so for le for the land uh for the operated land increase the increase the size of the stream okay sorry is it better yeah now it's okay so you see here i've taken really it's a fictional data set we consider like a country with 50 holdings and for this holding so they p pu1 pu2 is the production unit numbers the key let's say and then for each holding we have the cultivated land the land with permanent crops temporary crops and fallow land so the operated land is simply given by the sun [Music] we do this this operation of course before we have to exclude all the land that is rented out and the land that is wrapped in then for livestock data okay here i've taken the conversion factors for south asia uh so we have 0.5 for cattle for buffalo then for sheep and goats we have 0.1 for peak we have 0.2 then and and so on so let's suppose that in the survey we have information on the number of cattle number of buffalo and all these livestock categories so for each livestock category and bioholding for example like this holding a f5 cattle i have to multiply the five cattles by the tlu conversion factor for carton so and this is repeated for all holdings and for all livestock category of course changing the conversion factor depending on the type of livestock that that is considered then at the end i can sum to determine the total number of life stocking stock and the total number of tlus by summing each tlu component this is quite straightforward operations then okay here again here i've skipped all the steps that go from plot level data to also level data so that i mean we would have done that with data from uh if if we would have had data from bangladesh so here we have to use a fictional example but in normal cases you will have some pre-processing operation before that but this is to say that you have to bring your data to a structure that is similar to the one that is presented here then for revenues we have seen this have to determine the crop revenues by considering all these components that are listed here when you have the revenues from crops revenues from livestock fishery and forestry you some all these components to determine the total revenues and then you multiply these total revenues by the ppp conversion factor which can be found uh from the link that uh i included in the slides presented before so you can uh easily find these conversion factors for bangladesh so this is just a fictional example you you don't have necessarily to use this also because the conversion factor change uh every year so you will for example if you have a survey for our 2016 you have to look for the conversion factor for bangladesh in 2016 uh going uh the website that is reported in the slide so once we have the operated land the total tlu these three columns that i've shown into a consolidated data set so we have the production unit number the operated landing actors so this is important the operated land should be expressed in actors not in acres for example tlu is in number and it was a revenue scene ppp usd so now uh this is what concerned the data preparation i will start a new setting okay so are there any questions on now on step one oops otherwise i will continue with uh with step two one question one question everyone have a question i have a question but the bangladesh collected the fellow lane is okay i didn't understand the type of fellow land that you have probably probably sound yes we have two types of two type of calories one is current another is permanent we collected sorry the purpose of permanent fallow land uh not a cultivate for the one year and permanent country not cultivate for the long time that is permanent so what's the difference between permanent fallow and abandoned abandoned land permanent fellow and fellow color paint this february is cultivate next year but this year he did not cultivate a permanent fellow land farmer did not cultivate for the long time they're seated as a permanent ferrule maybe three four five but uh but let me let me further qualify you know this one say for example you know there are two types one is current flow current flow means no farmers sometimes don't want to uh use this year but next year they they have plan to use that peaceful land environment for some reason it is the agricultural land anyone can cultivate there but for their own purpose or any kind of decision the for more than five years of time they these are left and uncultivated so vbs collects this kind of information so according to your you know indicator and your slides what will be your suggestion should be now combine these two and consider in the equation or they will you know leave the permanent fellow from the creation yes so in my opinion it should be included the permanent because sooner or later like jakob can correct me find wrong but sooner or later this land would be used for agricultural production so here we have we want to understand the land the possibility that the farmer has in terms of agricultural production so among how much of land he could use he could operate for his agricultural production and this is i think why also the fallout land is included because that's a a land that can potentially be used for uh agricultural production and it's not abandoned one thing is if it's an abandoned land but fellow land it's it means that it's left there but will be probably used yeah you were right you know as the soil fertility is there any time you know in future they may be under use so we can consider an equation yeah i think for the identification of the small folder probably someone who has a because the land belongs to him and he can operate at any moment so it's a part of his asset in terms of land now the difficulty may come maybe tomorrow when we calculate the indicator because the denominator and the numerator should be consistent meaning that the production should be divided by the land cultivated so if the land is not producing any any product maybe we should consider the lands that are productive let's say but for the identification i agree with either that probably we should consider that as an asset it's an asset for the older sorry no man for tomorrow will we consider the land or the labor at the denominator yes may i say something yes yes super from your e-learning course and to this presentation i understand um what mr assange said there are two types of fellow land in our country we consider in our country one is temporary and one is permanent that means it is a fellow for more than five years but you are considering the volume of production so maybe in that case you are considering the only temporary fell and not formal and fellow land but yeah forget it forget about my intervention i was because tomorrow we are not talking about the land we are talking about the labor so i yeah so so we can see you we can review this matter can we consider the formant fellow or only temporary fellow but we are saying that for the identification of the small order maybe it's better to consider permanent fellow either can can you go can you show us that table you know which one is included which is excluded the fact is that my table only talks about uh fellow fellow land but we we can further review these also perhaps we could come back on this question uh i don't know tomorrow or we could further review g [Music] this is the idea this is like england landfill this one and not not dedicated to glazing so not foreign definitely yes but is it very common in in bangladesh to have permanent uh follow sometimes you know say for example their owner owner lives in the city and he or she doesn't have the intention to you know use that piece of land for agriculture yes yes and this fellow is not dedicated for grazing right raising you know not to not dedicated to grazing it is part of the the the competition it says faro land land left uncropped it is uncropped it doesn't say that it's tank for one or two years it is uncropped but it is not dedicated for grazing so as long as it is left followed but it's not dedicated for grazing then this is an asset as naman was saying it should be part of the competition okay and then land abandoned you know prior to the reference period it is completely out there for abandon it's clear it is out then for for faroland so as long as it's not dedicated for grazing it should be part of the calculation and and the grazing component was excluded because uh in in many countries uh so still for international comparability because in many countries like the pasture land is very often like communal land so land used by uh multiple producers at the same time so it's difficult to to find let's say the define the ownership of that landlord like who is actually using that land so that's the reason why grazing land was uh was excluded i is it clear right we irrespective of whether it is temporary or permanent as long as it is not dedicated for grazing land it is part of the calculation yeah as long as it is not i think it is uh it also but in a sds indicator 501 grazing land also included in the agricultural land so there is a difference between 2 3 1 and 5 a1 now there are two two aspects one is the identification of the smallholder here we are focusing on the identification of the small order and then when we come to the to the computation of the indicator service another thing but here we are trying to see what are the assets so how do we classify a holder as a small or non small [Music] consider his assets his land and its etc so the focus here is only how to define this the the smallholder and also um yeah well you mentioned indicator 5a1 no uh i think that's referred to at the agricultural land and here we are referring to operated land which is defined through these components that we are seeing here but your agricultural land may include other components yes so grazing it is if it's not extensive grading maybe in that case and so many other things can be included in that case okay okay there is another question idea on the chat it says how you get the groups p one p u two p u c three etcetera i think you're trying to explain but you can repeat it again okay so i stopped sharing this and i shared you okay so here p p u one p u two p u three are just fictional this is the key the identifier of the holding but it could be anything it could be like one two three it's just like they they identify the key of the of the farm so um sometimes you have data that are presented already at farm level so you already have this structure some other times you may have information such as for example the components of the operated blend that are reported at plot level so you will first have to combine values reported at plot level to get the total values for the for the holding and and then you will get this so these steps of these preparatory steps are not covered by by this exercise because uh with let's say real-world data but tomorrow there will be an example for the computation of the indicator but still uh my colleague one of my colleagues will show how to go from plot level data or participant data to also level data so this will be perhaps clearer can i add something like that of course yes okay as you can see you know this this part is to identify small holders and the data the first thing have to be at the holding holder you know we need to we need to have to to identify who are the small holders therefore if your data is at the plot level level for instance you know it is a survey maybe it's a plot level if a partial field level it depends you know how you collected your survey data the first thing you need to bring is bring this data in whatsoever level that you have up to the holding level therefore you have to calculate the operator land for holding okay you have to add it no the operating lag but holding and once you have the operating line for holding you have to attach the number of livestock per holding and then you have to calculate the revenue per holding when you say the revenue performing it is a production times the price you know that's how you are going to compare therefore how much was produced in that in that whole uh only and you multiply that by the price for example if the holding is producing different crops we'll have different prices therefore we have to multiply the production of different crops by the respective prices of these crops and aggregate them together to get into the holding level that is the psu level thing therefore is depending on how you strike your your survey data is is it there then there is one step that uh that that we haven't shown in this process to bring them into this level that idea has shown which means you have to aggregate the everything at the holding level because once you have the holics we have to run that cumulative distribution to make sure that which are below the 14 percent uh cumulative below the 40 percent communicate that's what where she's heading therefore that's how we will be trying to come up with this p123 depending on how your micro data is structured when you do the your usual pure surveys thanks guys thank you jacob [Music] sorry to interview i have another question for revenue purpose uh just we can calculate the revenue for you the international conversion factor is a dollar can you use the conversion factor in our service or kind here so your question is if you can use the conversion factor in your sideway yes yes not to say the calculating yeah just when you contact the survey then we notify our international conversion currency will be considered after yes is it right [Music] currency once everything is done the column is finalized then you'll convert using the international conversion rate for bangladesh particularly on the sensory sensors here that will be used because you know year wise changes so you use exactly the similar year you know conversion factor that will then uh as they know i you know echo was telling that you know lower you know cumulative one over 40 percent will be considered okay i think that's a good answer thank you how are you yeah you clarified thank you so i would go back to the present uh someone else has a question no uh i don't uh know that you have shown as an example this is not a real habit that i think so have you tried uh the hiv data of bangladesh for this exercise um sorry i'm i'm not no maybe let me interfere i think now i got your question i'm sorry no i got it either ah you got it yeah so i naman was explaining earlier i mean when we are preparing for this training we we wish to use the actual bangladesh data to show all of these computations unfortunately we are not able to get real language data that's why we are using you know this is this data for us as an example but i mean the the bottom line is it was good if you can have you know the bangladesh data but the the pro the issue is it is it's it's just more or less the same as i said we're not we wish to have the bangladesh that would be to be to be honest and the naman was was you know exchanging emails with amy rule several times in order to get that data but it was not possible that's how yeah yeah i know yeah yeah now in the communication our you know counterpart from vbs also there and they reported that you know currently they don't have the data available yeah so now on and steam use this in proxy data but you know anyway if you understand this one pbs can you know replicate this one no problem exactly i think it's not a big problem because the idea is to understand the process so whatever data is available you can replicate the same process the big difficulty is probably what we will discuss tomorrow is how to get to to get this nice table with all samurais you know before that there is a lot of work to be done on the real data coming from the questioners the aggregations and putting them in this form once it is in this format the process of calculating the thresholds etc that's what i think ida will show now and tomorrow probably will have more more discussion on how you really go from the plus or whatever level and aggregate everything at the holding level so that because you need everything at the holding level yeah either please we have one reason and also on the third day we will see your sorry there's one question mahadeen can you okay yeah please go ahead with your question mr medhidan mute and i know go ahead with the question you raise hand and you can you can talk to us just admit yourself before that one or he has you know it was by mistake yeah okay so either please go ahead hello hello okay so i will hello hello i have a question yes you we know that the transform level landed operating land depend on operating land and livestock etc up and also have revenue status threshold my question is here that only we convert operated livestock into revenue revenue for [Music] measuring threshold is it this household is a small scale or biggest skill food production okay so let's see if i understood you have three variables now you have yeah yeah yeah yeah length size uh livestock size so operated plant use and revenues you you determine the three variables and then you have to define a threshold identify a threshold for each of these variables each one then you you combine the three so you consider a small only the farmers that satisfy the three thresholds all the three and all the rest are non small so the indicator will be computed by small and non small and and you divide this group uh with the next step that i will illustrate so identifying three thresholds one suppose uh think about this one one variable is uh one variable is uh non small another uh two is small okay this part yeah a big scale and then you have the rest that is more in this case you will have a non-small so a big farm you have to satisfy the and probably you will it will be more clear with the practical uh you will see okay and then yeah if you have questions you can be quick on the steps now and then we can see everything in excel so we we said that we saw how to prepare data no now the step one uh and and then step two is the computation of thresholds to identify small scale food producers so for the land trash these are the steps we will see it in practice in excel things with respect to the total operated land so we you will order the holdings from the smallest in terms of where the land to the biggest then you accumulate the land so you compute the cumulative distribution of the operating blend meaning that you take the first element then the second sum to the first and so on then and identify the corresponding length i will show you how how this work and then the corresponding holding area is the threshold that will allow you to identify small order so divide small orders for non-smallholders with respect to the operated land the same is done for the tlu information you run codings by the tlu from the they will be with the smallest number of tlu to the only with the biggest number of tools you can like the distribution and you take the 40 percent of this cumulative distribution and you will check what is the number of tlu that correspond to this 40 percent and these will give the threshold to identify small scale food producers with respect to livestock the same approach is adopted for revenues i go a bit quick here because i will show this in excel and it will be much much clearer and then once you have these three thresholds you go to step three so you combine the three thresholds to identify small scale food producer that will be the the food producer that satisfy the three threshold at the same time so uh this answer to the question we just received so if our farmers satisfy only two threshold but not one it will not be classified as small scale producer so let's see i will stop sharing the powerpoint and i will share the uh excel file and we see now how to continue so here i have consolidated the data to uh i identify smallholder now i have to identify the threshold for operated land the threshold for tl use and the threshold for total revenues so let's go to the the first one the land size so here i have first i have supported [Music] my arms you see that you don't have any more p1 p2 p3 before but the farm are sorted by the land size so the operated land size in actors and this for example in excel is done very simply by um highlighting these columns then going to data you sort and then you say okay you have columns on b column c you say sort by you select this and now i will by which you want to sort your to largest and this will give you the the land uh sorted then you compute the accumulated distribution so the first element will simply be sorry the first element will be equal to the first element then you have the second one that is equal to the second plus the the first so the the one that is above then you have the second plus the sum of the first two which is here and and this for for all so this is the accumulated distribution the last element of the cumulative distribution is the maximum value of the accumulated distribution so i i took this value this one okay and i brought it here okay then i want to identify the 40 of the accumulated distribution so i take this this value you see h3 so the maximum and i multiply it by 0.4 okay so and i get 101. so i go here and i check okay where i have a value that is smaller than 101. if i go here for example i don't have any more accumulated value that is smaller than 101. so this is the last possible one okay and so this means that the land size that corresponds to the 40 percent of the accumulated plant size is 5.3 so this 5.3 is my thresholds in term of land so basically here what i've done first of all is with a and if value is smaller than the forty percent put one otherwise put zero okay and i have applied this to all cells okay and i will take a threshold of operated land the the the operated land of the holding the last holding for which i have one okay so that the accumulated land size is smaller than the uh 40 percent so this is my threshold 5.3 i do the same for the livestock so what do i do i first sort the holdings with respect to the number of tlus so these are all my orderings you see again i don't have p1 p2 p3 but all things are sorted by the number of tlu i compute the accumulated distribution so i take the first element then the second element plus the accumulated value above then the third element plus the accumulated value above and so on i take here i take the maximum accumulated value you see 182 0.3 is this is this maximum value i compute the 40 percent of this maximum value okay and taking as a reference this 40 percent i look okay is this accumulated value minor then is 40 percent if yes i put one if no i put zero and i look for the last farmer with one here and this is the threshold in terms of tlu okay it's not the accumulated value but it's the size of operated land that corresponds to that specific accumulated value uh of land okay and so the basically the number of small holders with respect to livestock will be given by uh all these so all those that are small with respect to the threshold identify right then i go to revenues and i sorry i go to revenues and i do exactly the same so first i rank with respect to revenue i compute the cumulative distribution identify the maximum value of the accumulated distribution and then the 40 percent of it and identify the last firm that has accumulated distribution of revenues smaller than this 40 percent and the corresponding value like not accumulated value but the corresponding value of revenues is my threshold for the revenues okay so i have now three threshold one for the length size which is five point three what one for livestock that is four and one for uh the revenues that is the three thousand 3600 more or less okay so here i summarize my question i put again i i took this consolidated data here and i put them here and then again with an if function i i see i ask okay if for example if uh the operated length is minor or equal to 5.3 or the tlu is minus or equal to four or the revenues is minor or equal to this put one otherwise put zero and and doing this for all the cells i identify those that satisfy all the three conditions and this will be my small orders either is it or or end please sorry is you see here it's uh if and so this is the way you ask uh to accept to check all the three conditions and see that they check if they are all satisfied so it's end yeah can i ask the question obviously you you have assigned one and zero to you know all the three variables can you can we use those three variables to combine the final you know smaller scale one of course is the same if all of three that will be you know yeah yeah of course of course yes otherwise you know using this [Music] if all of the one then you can regard it as a small holder yeah you you can try but i think it's not the same because this one condition is based on the accumulated distribution you see and it only uh serves to identify 5.3 okay but yes i think you you can you can because all these land are smaller than 5.3 yeah so yes you can mm-hmm you're right it both can work yes what can work yes so you can also yes combine this one and you see which holding have all this one of course just one one consideration the the ranking of all things will be different like here you have the holding with resp the ranking with respect to the operated land so the the one like the the ed is different then here you have a ranking with respect to tlu and here you have a ranking with respect to revenues and this is why uh it was easier to look at a new consolidated data set with no ranking let's say and also like excel is just a tool that i use for this exercise you don't need necessary to use excel you can use any any software of your choice yeah okay okay no it's okay i think you may posit now so i think um i finished the presentation so now it's uh it's open for questions if there are any okay either do you also foresee that they try to participate and try we just go to the questions so we have two possibilities either they try now to replicate so i sent two files before the break one is this one that we have seen one is a similar file but with empty some empty columns to check whether you you are able to reproduce the the steps that i've implemented so we can either uh try uh you can either try now to reproduce this exercise or perhaps visa like for tomorrow uh if it's too late now and it's up to you so what time the what time do we have left it's like 14 years left 40 minutes what do you think i think you know let us consider this as the homework of the for the participants this is a simple excel let them try and tomorrow uh first few few minutes we will you know discuss you know where someone finally probably or not something like that okay that's a good idea so uh let's take let's say i don't know how many minutes 30 minutes or is it too much we have 30 minutes it will be too much you know 20 will be fine because problem will be similar actually so we give the participant a few minutes to to try to reproduce this what either shown and then we will come with questions okay no i think i i think amino is suggesting this exercise as a homework for that so that they can do the exercise and tomorrow morning before we start the new session we just reviewed that i think that's what you are saying yeah yeah yeah i just mentioned that one yeah as a homework you want you wanted this thing to be as a homework okay for the rest of the time you go for the questions yes because we have still a few few times left no a little bit for time left okay so let's go for questions in the meantime you can try to exercise on your computer in parallel and then you can identify the the difficulties and the questions so that you ask the questions but we leave it for you to try today and report tomorrow morning so any any questions from your side i see something here could you please we you have uh you have sent this calculation in the excel file but would you please could you please send us a do file with the data [Music] yeah uh we can calculate it in excel file okay but we we need do file for for large file it would be better for uh so i i need a do file as for an example if you send us your file okay so we we have uh yeah so we we don't have um i do file like specific to a data set we have a stata template so i do file that is a generic status file that you will have to adapt to your specific data so that we can do we can share uh stata template you can give us any data any data in the context of uh 2.3.1 any data and with a do file when we follow this we can calculate in our context we will manage it can i can you can you please stand the data in excel and you you remember the the routine that piero's team has shared maybe that can be shared also because this is a public note what do you think i was saying that uh there is a state of template uh that we can share but that's not uh let's say specific of what for one that does it it's just a template that then they would need then we can follow it and we will apply it in our context in our data we can follow it because in uh when the data set is large then it will handle it and itself it's complete we'll do it yeah yeah okay yeah we will uh prepare something yes yeah i i think let's do this now this is a specific question this training has been organized it's a general training type of thing okay so for some country you do a stata some other doesn't do and it's it was not like you know one size fits all for bangladesh you it comes to be like stata for instance but this might not be applied to some other countries but here in the training we are giving the conceptual in that they know that how to complete these things without being specific to the software but since you are really interested in having this thing in stata we need to work on that one and you know send you the new files as a separate thing i think there is already a standard generic routine within the the with a piero that they are sharing with countries i'm a i'm right yes so this is one and so we can just share this this is the the public fao routine that they are sharing so any country can read it and put it in any format they want in r in whatever it is but it at least show the the process and the the protocol to follow to identify the smallholder public product of fao no yes i think we anyway tomorrow also we will talk about this but you are right this was just a demonstration this was just for excellence for i don't know 10 15 20 30 holders but we know that in real surveys you have thousands and thousands of holders so excel is certainly not the tool to use for this work so you will need to work out the specific package in order to to do all the the work that is needed in order to compete now fao in parallel i think jakob can elaborate more is also working on a even better package is not yet completely adopted but that will facilitate this calculation of the indicators so certainly in in some time countries will have a package that will facilitate a lot the competition of these indicators but in the meantime the focus is is here to show the process uh how you you calculate the threshold how you identify the small orders etc and then you can translate this into a specific language for computer language that you are familiar with you know may says there's something here you know yes as you know we have already exercised the excel one and we have three days you know training but uh suddenly we cannot incorporate this data here but as the as proposed by mr tabitha islam if you have any uh data set that is handled by you know stata so along with the data and the code if you share that will give the guide for the for those who want to use that actually so that you can understand later on but for the time being as you have planned on excel so you can proceed with excel so that so far i understand you know all the methodology how the how to calculate how to condition these you know uh variables these are very much straightforward we can understand easily so if you understand this logic anyone who knows this spss or a stat or any r or something they can easily find but you can share after this training as well okay okay so [Music] are we at the end of the time we are uh nearly nearly you know nearly to be five minutes left we can just you know say quality actually if you want to okay so if there is no more questions for the time being so the data will be shared with you by ida and then tomorrow morning if some some people has tried to to reproduce the process if they are willing to to present some result or to to ask for some clarifications we can allow some few time to do that for tomorrow so tonight yeah and you know yeah yeah and before it closed you know i requested to just know whatever you share with the participants please also include my email so that i can also have those you know because currently i don't have any you know any data or anything ah okay so and for you know uh foreign one and a nomination from minister food i have just forwarded that link to the person but i will share that email with you so that you can include in your list i have i have shared the latest list that i had before we started the meeting and if someone can check that list to to make sure that uh yeah i'll check i will check and do you need you know a designation of all of the participants or you need the email addresses the emails also you need all the information okay as well uh in the file which i sent you you have a list of participants with the email addresses okay i like that one because you know yeah there were some few participants that uh islam sent yesterday i had the email and the telephone numbers but i did not have the names and the titles oh no i i deliberately didn't share with you because it will create confusion there is a there is no more questions i think it's time now to conclude the this session to me it has been a very very interesting session because uh day at least that's what we really wanted to have a an interactive session not just to come and do lectures and things like that but this is an interaction between the experts in bangladesh and the experts from fao so that we don't have the answer to all the questions and as we progress we also learn from you and we will try to refine and we take note of the the questions i hope that the rest of the two days we'll do we'll have the same type of sessions and we have taken note very carefully of the the very relevant questions that have been asked and i think that the presentation of ida was also well received so we stop here and uh see you tomorrow morning tomorrow yeah i'll request i'll request the participants please try this excel excel file on your own if you have any problem we'll share tomorrow so this is learning learning by doing so as we are on a zoom platform we are not you know in person so it will help if you just also spend some time my personal time here and again i will request i will request to our fa colleagues to address all of the questions you know whatever question is raised and it will you know clarify the whole confusion around the indicators so for today it was a it was a good session i will i expect that and this will continue for the further two days and um let us let us say say goodbye and quality day hope to see you tomorrow okay thank you goodbye thank you thank you bye-bye have a nice evening bye you | Food and Agriculture

A1Z6jO7bn9Q | https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=A1Z6jO7bn9Q | Virtual Panel Discussion: Data Protection Day 2022 | happy data protection day everyone greetings from Geneva my name is Christina vasala kokinaiki and I'm a senior legal officer with International Organization for migration I'm delighted to be with you here today to moderate this virtual panel discussion on the topic of data protection and privacy within U.N system organizations as you already know we have gathered five lawyers in data protection experts from different un entities and they are really eager to come here and join us in the virtual room so that they can share with you all the information that they can about their data protection related work delve into the challenges they're facing and maybe some opportunities for the future before though I asked them to join us I would like to give the virtual floor to iom's deputy director General Amy Pope who would also like to welcome you to this event but also share some initial thoughts about today's event good morning good afternoon and good evening to everyone joining us from different corners of the world today I am very happy to welcome you all on behalf of iom to this virtual panel discussion on data protection and privacy within un system organizations we are very pleased to be hosting this event as part of data protection day 2022. data protection day or data privacy day as it's sometimes called outside of Europe has been taking place every year across the world on the 28th of January since it was first initiated in Europe in April 2006 by the committee of Ministers of the Council of Europe it corresponds to the anniversary of the opening for Signature of the Council of Europe's convention 108 for the protection of individuals with regard to the automatic processing of personal data which has been for over 30 years a Cornerstone of data protection in Europe and Beyond at iom we've marked this day by organizing various events and activities with the goal of raising awareness both among our staff and Beyond about data protection and privacy rights the right to privacy is a universal human right its universality means it is equally applicable to those who live in peace and prosperity as well as those who are vulnerable privacy enables the enjoyment of other rights the free development and expression of an individual's personality identity and beliefs and their ability to participate in their community's life while data is important to understand migration collecting sharing and processing data can pose risks associated with a right to privacy of data subjects if we don't have the appropriate safeguards in place thus it's important to use the best resources available to enable informed migration policy while still securing fundamental privacy rights and safety of data subjects ultimately protecting personal data means protecting the people to whom this data belongs it's often overlooked and it does not solely apply to particularly vulnerable groups that we work with such as victims of trafficking but all human beings but these concepts are not mutually exclusive to find out how different U.N organizations are handling the various challenges linked to data protection and privacy we have brought together five knowledgeable experts from the United Nations in Geneva Vienna and New York to share with us their experience I have no doubt our virtual audience including me will enjoy what promises to be an enriching and fruitful discussion so I thank you very much for being part of this conversation today and I thank you for your work going forward thank you deputy director General it is indeed very important to keep in mind that data protection derives from the right to privacy which is mentioned in the Universal Declaration of Human Rights which was adopted by the United Nations General Assembly in 1948. and another very important point that you made is how protecting data is truly about protecting people when we talk about protecting data it's not about protecting in a way in personal numbers but it is about human beings so um I'm very glad to see that our panelists have our panelists have joined us in the virtual room just now I would just like to make two quick points uh before I introduce them to you so first of all very briefly to explain why is iom organizing this panel discussion today so we are in January 2022 data protection day and it has been a bit over three years since the UN system organizations adopted the UN data protection and privacy principles in 2018. so I think since more than three years have passed it's a good time to take stock about what has happened during this time and what are the plans of un system organizations for the future and one quick clarification here would be to say that the focus of the discussion will really be on the internal policies and procedures of U.N system organizations and my second point would simply be to tell you that in the next hour or so what we aim to accomplish would be to truly delve into the world of data protection within the UN to look into the challenges and identify opportunities so with this in mind I would like to start introducing our panel so I would like to introduce to you uh Giovanna bolio who is a senior legal officer with the ILO we also have with us Isabel Robin who is a legal officer with the international atomic energy agency and also Mila Romanov with a data policy and governance lead as well as a privacy specialist with a un Global pulse we also have with us Christine Adam from iom as well Deputy legal council and last but not least Francesco Messina who is a legal officer with the U.N Secretariat so again very happy to have all those experts with us here today and to really kick start the discussion I would like to to ask Mila who had quite a central role back in 2018 when the UN data protection and privacy principles were adopted to maybe explain this story to us how was the idea how did this idea come about to adopt those principles what led to their adoption and why are they import important thank you very much Christina and I'm very pleased to be here today and speaking on such an important topic um sure so a global policy the discussion initiative of the UN Secretary General um since its Inception in 2008 in response to the economic crisis was didn't with doing a lot at that point with uh with data and primarily with the new sources of data through our work we've been working a lot or engaging a lot with various uh United Nations organizations and we noticed that um there is definitely a lack of um common principles um and uh common practices of how first of all we are working with each other and how we are sharing data between the UN organizations but also we realize that it affects primarily our work with um non-un entities and as the legislation has started to come up in various countries in parts of the world we're realized together uh with the entire un system organizations that we do need to have a common standard that we could apply while working with each other so in 2016 we have established the United Nations privacy policy group with the sole goal of Simply exchanging best practices um between each other and fast forward into 2018 as more and more data protection legislation has been adopted around the world and also increasing our work with the global privacy assembly which is the international Forum of data privacy and data protection Commissioners we realized that we need to come together and produce a document an instrument that would help us um in a formal way um work and work on data protection and increase data flows and ensure protection of that data um so many organizations and then at the end all of the organizations of the United Nations system has joined this wonderful effort and over the course of about a year and a half or two years I would say we we reached the consensus through multiple negotiations to adopt the principles on the protection of personal data and privacy in 2018. um the principles were adopted by adopted through the mechanism of the high level management Committee of the United Nations ceb uh the executive board and and um and how and since then um the sole goal of the of this effort was that the principles serve at the high level uh framework for data protection across the uni donation system and um and the objective was that all other organizations that have then adopted the principles within their internal um procedures um Implement them through their own guidelines through their own policies formal policies and uh Christina you're right now we're in 2021 and unfortunately we also hit a very uh big crisis of covid-19 which also increased the necessity of using data um not just personal but overall overall data um and especially within the UN system and especially in humanitarian operations what I would say that the principles uh while adopting 2018 were important and crucial to us but more so than ever in 2020 as we were hit with Covenant we realized that we need to acknowledge the need for utilizing data and we need to acknowledge the emergency situation in which such data is being used with covid-19 the United Nations system and the UN privacy policy group have come together once again to address the issues of using data as a critical resource to address uh covid-19 crisis in their internal United Nations operations and uh of course acknowledging the importance of human rights in every approach as we are using data data in our operations the United uh the United Nations privacy policy group acknowledged the need to be not only transparent in order to develop trust while we're deploying um data in our operations but but also in implementing applicable mechanisms and procedures to ensure that we are properly managing risks in um in accordance with the principles that were adopted in 2018 one of the distinguishing factors of the joint statement as well as the United Nations principles on the protection of personal data and privacy is that it acknowledges that not only we need to protect and take into account the risks associated with the use of uh for a personal data but also non-personal data use in sensitive context which points to the fact that many United Nations system organizations are dealing with um with the group harms as is to say when we are using non-personal data but in for example emergency situations with vulnerable populations we need to think about the group harms and the and the risks that come out with the use of non-sensitive personal data even when it is aggregated um and not uh and not directly identifiable also with the use of new emerging Technologies especially with the use of artificial intelligence we're acknowledging that these risk we're becoming more more obvious um so with that the United Nations systems has a system organization have worked together um to stress the important of taking into account the group privacy as well as the group harms um while dealing with uh with data protection and privacy and while using data to enrich and to advance the United Nations system organization operations uh thank you very much Christina thank you Mila I will make a quick clarification point for our audience as well that we are already in 2022 it is January but it's this time of the year when it's difficult for all of us of course to remember what year we're in I think covid-19 has made this um a tad more difficult and January is always a tough month in this regard but thank you Milan particular about explaining um and um highlighting the importance of the work of the U.N privacy policy group I know that many people in our audience come from your own system organizations and maybe they're not all familiar about the important work of this group has done I can definitely um uh confirm its importance and so on I've been there I think since day Zero in this endeavor as well as for the Drafting and the adoption of the principles in 2018 and and for the covet statement which is also very important they're both documents that are publicly available uh for anyone who would like to uh read them we also talked about new technologies which is of course an area of um of quite a lot of of Interest since menu and system organizations are using or planning to use more and more new technologies and the advice from legal and data protection experts is crucial when the decision is being taken for those Technologies to be used and with this in mind I think we're nicely passing into our next speaker coming from an agency focusing on nuclear technologies so iaea and Isabel so Isabel I understand that the iaea has adopted or had adopted back then in 2018 the UN data protection and privacy principles so it would be interesting to hear whether this is the policy that the Ia is now following how was maybe the existing policy influenced by those principles and what type of data processing are we talking about when we talk about atomic energy over to you Isabel thank you very much Christina thank you for giving me the floor um introducing my my response here I'm just going to recall indeed that the idea is part of the urine system it's a reorganization based on a statute and relationship argument with the UN um and just uh I believe like the iom we have our own regulation and rules uh but that said of course I can directly call what what Mina was saying we adopted the UN principle and data protection privacy in 2018. and 2020 we shoot our own personal data privacy policy which is of course heavily inspired from the principal themselves but we do we did of course adapt to one legal framework that policy specifically was supplemented by additional separate procedure for instance for to record this um to to handle personal average and to pay basically I believe now everybody is is really used to it but to record virtual events as we as as we just doing now uh this is so this is the data protection policy uh really sort of in a in a stricter sense of meaning but of course we have a set of uh um pre-existing policy governing several aspects of person that the agency that that constituted broadly speaking the the data prevention protection framework and so now I can I can really refer for instance into the what we had already in place called and in the processing of personal stuff personal information uh security rules and CCTV at the at the premises at the headquarter or the rules governing archive and record management together with the retention schedules and the way that the personal data captures in this in these tools in these other retention tools foreign so the data protection policy to the principles are of course the backbone to our through policy for now this is the way it is but I can I can of course mention that we are currently drafting a new and new framework that we go very more detail the data protection governance framework probably speaking together with processes and expected redress mechanism and just touching of course now on on and I'm sure we'll talk more about this later but on third party access to their data and purposively correction deletion I just wanted to mention that we already have a set of guidelines in place that allows us to handle consistently the requests from the data subject um and so I just like to take a step back and and since you asked the question about how you know how personal data is relevant under the agency's Mandate um to understand this it's important to know that um by virtue of its mandate information security has always been at the top of the agency's agenda and specific data governance agenda um so you may know the public may know the agency has the U.N Watchdog but of course there's much more to a mandate but it's always been the case that we've worked well ensuring that the data interest is to entrusted To Us by the member states where whether it was was sexually handled and that trust was over an overarching concern when um when ensuring the verification of nuclear material on their behalf and so in that regard you know data classification has based on the level of sensitivity of this data has always been uh solidly occurred in in agency processes body speaking and so we didn't have any basically difficulty to adapt to the new requirements so to speak new but of course they've been there governing that specific category that is a personal data and so we've adapted the same sort of reflexes in terms of classification and I can say that the agencies um information security culture was the the entry point to introduce a a solid data protection culture um into the delivery of a mandate um so specifically I mentioned of course the safeguards and non-proliferation that's one part but there's another part of a mandate and that is of course more more common to other organization the agency as part of its mandate holds a high number of scientific events and trains fellow and on various aspects of the peaceful use of nuclear energy and the implementation of that application policy on that aspect entail of course revising processing and the way we process personal data of this participants and the meeting participants and issuing the relevant privacy notices in the registration process um so I can I can mention this of course these two main aspects of the of the mandates uh event organization training and and non-proliferation but that say I missed I must of course recognize that the Mandate of the agency is not geared towards service to individual beneficiaries um when staff handles for instance data on human health this would be data coming through Aggregates in the form of Aggregates so in a very de-anonymized Manner and so that wouldn't be a concern um needed to their work still in closing there on my my response I'd like to mention that data protection is no fully integrated in the delivery of all agency projects regardless of department and the area of work and this include of course the process to to ensure that for instance um data protection is taken to a current procurement processes and and any IIT probably speaking in EIT project thank you very much Isabel I think um this is extremely interesting to hear I think um myself included I was thinking of members of our audience but myself included definitely I'm a bit unfamiliar with the Mandate really of the agency of the iaea and the designation of it being the nuclear Watchdog and so on but in terms of data protection what I find very interesting is the link you made between data protection and data security and especially nowadays more cyber security um I think that these are two areas of work that of course need to go hand in hand um and and it's interesting how data security in particular is more um let's say applicable even to non-personal data no matter about the type of information as long as it is highly confidential strictly confidential it is important to keep it secure but often I would say in the legal World there would be some confusion about what is the difference between data protection and data security and isn't it the same and I know that many lawyers would say that data security is included it's part of data protection whereas ICT experts would say the data protection is under data security at least I have heard both views in a way but in any case very very interesting to hear about all of this and um it would be good now to move to another um system organization that has I think been influenced by the 2018 uh U.N principles so um I would ask then from cesco from the U.N Secretariat to talk to us about how the 2018 principles actually were taken into account by the U.N Secretariat and also to talk maybe again in terms of the the Mandate of the U.N secretary at the work that he does how is data protection relevant for your work thank you very much Christina it's a pleasure to be here and uh as you mentioned in the beginning I work in the office of legal Affairs and we have a very privileged view in the office of legal Affairs in New York as to the wide variety of data protection uh and and handling of personal data really by the whole Secretariat of the United Nations um it would be interesting in that regard to try and think about the various types of personal data that we that we employ that we actually process and the various situations in which that happens so let me start by trying to give an overview of what these situations might be first of all of course there is the intergovernmental organs every year at the end of the year there is of course the general assembly that Garners much attention in the media but beyond that of course there's the security Council the general assembly all the principal organs and and when you're talking about that you're talking about hundreds of delegates ngos participants other diplomatic conference side events in all of these situations there are personal data that are handled by our colleagues in the secret Target in one way or another then there are of course the subsidiary bodies all the bodies that have been created by the general assembly or by the security Council or through other intergovernmental processes for example in Geneva where you are there are all of the human rights treaty bodies just to give one example that fall under the Secretariat and the human rights treaty bodies means that our colleagues in Geneva would handle on a daily basis highly sensitive information about human rights violations and other potential breaches therefore sometimes a incredibly sensitive type of data in The Hague in Arusha for example you have the criminal tribunals the residual mechanisms for criminal tribunals and there you have information about accused people victims attorneys judges themselves prosecutors and in New York you have extremely sensitive Security Council sanctions and counterterrorism committees that also handle personal data and sometimes financial information and sometimes highly highly sensitive information there and all over the world really the uh what falls under the United Nations secretariats includes all of the peace support operations be the Apes keeping operations or other political mandates or operations that are all across the world where you don't have just the personal information of Staff members you also have the personal information of the troops or the or the police that are contributed to those operations you have local government officials that come into contact with those uh with those operations you have the population at large really all over the world and then the United Nations secretary organizes throughout all of its mandates uh several training and capacity building events and at those training and capacity building events whenever you're organizing them unfortunately not so much in person as we used to you would handle a lot of personal information just by the hundreds and hundreds of applications you always receive for such training events and uh in terms of the other pillars of the work of the United Nations I mentioned human rights there's of course uh the pillar of humanitarian assistance and it worked a humanitarian sorry of humanitarian work that we do and and you have beneficiaries of assistance data which is extremely sensitive and many of the agencies that are here today and colleagues that I'm sure are listening will be uh very obtuned to how complex it is to handle personal data when it comes to beneficiaries of assistance and of course the other people are sustainable development uh is is also a situation in a case where you have plenty of personal data travel data Medical Data data related to Legal claims there is pretty much all of it is there and and so what are we doing about that further to the 2018 principles that have been mentioned a key component of the Secretary General status strategies in 2020 was precisely improving on our existing policies on data protection and privacy see and so in the last couple of years we've been working on new secretary General's bulletin on data protection and privacy for the United Nations Secretariat this bulletin which is currently underway and is being is being worked on by global pulse Mila knows a lot about it of course and ohchr together with the office of legal Affairs and several other parts of the Secretariat is going to try and address uh all types of data processing within the whole Secretariat and try to create an overarching framework that would be respect respecting privacy and that will also in a very Innovative way take into account the aspect of group privacy that Mila was referring just now and so it will also refer to non-personal data in a sensitive context so I've exhausted what I have to say for now but I'd be happy to discuss more uh later on about the details of all of this but thank you thank you very much Francesco I think that the many of the people in our audience can very much relate to all the different processing operations and data subjects and so on that you referred to uh because truth is that uh within one single legal entity in the UN there is so much processing of personal data taking place whether it is from a less sensitive nature so to speak such as meeting participants from a very small event taking place in Geneva New York Vienna um to extremely highly sensitive personal data and also very happy to hear and I'm sure many of our audience members as well happy to hear that the Secretariat is um I don't say embarking but it's uh in the final stages of adopting internal guidance specific internal guidance let's say because there is already rules here and there but specific internal guidance on data protection um and jumping from this so from the Secretariat um working on this in the form of an SGS bulletin to an organization that has been doing data protection actually for quite some time so I would like to ask Christine from iom to talk to us about ioms experience so IM has had its policy since 2009 it's been more than 10 years that there have been experience in implementing that policy so I'm sure many of our listeners today would be happy to hear what iom has to say on the topic of data protection over to you Christine thanks a lot Christina um and hello and to everybody virtually and globally I'm happy to be joining this panel of data protection experts here today as we are celebrating data protection day 2022 as we were reminded um protecting individuals personal data is an integral part of protecting their right to life human dignity and well-being and that is important to iim's mandate admission IM is the leading intergovernmental organization in the field of migration and is committed to the principle that human and orderly migration benefits migrants and Society um the organization was founded in 51 and formally joined the United Nations system in 2016. um we have at the moment 174 member states and Counting 450 paid locations around the world with 23 000 Personnel so the presence of iom around the world has grown in particular over the last 10 years or so and this has been in part a reflection of the increased focus on migration governance but also due to the reality concerning the growth in displacement and the humanitarian needs of Migrant populations so we work with migrant and we process personal data of millions of beneficiaries worldwide in order to fulfill our our mandate and that for that reason that's one of the reasons that I am attached to the very significant importance to data protection so just to give you a few of the numbers I mean and the um in the IIM covid-19 response alone we were reaching out to 37 million of beneficiaries for risk communication and Community engagement and we have been providing more than 90 people with critical Water Sanitation and hygiene supplies globally we had been providing a return services to many and we have been providing Kobe tests so in some instances in This Global Response to migration issues IAM operates in situations where personal data protection legislation may be only developing or maybe non-existent or maybe not entirely enforceable the United Nations conference on trade and development estimates that 16 percent of countries worldwide are still without a data protection privacy legislation and irm is operating in a majority of them so I think that this different factors uh were responsible that iom was one of the first International organizations to develop its own internal guidance in 2009 concerning data protection the IIM data protection principles and these are mandatory for the Personnel of the organization and then in 2010 we issued the data protection manual which is publicly available and elaborates on the Practical implementation of items data protection principles so these two documents um form the backbone of ioms legal framework on data protection and along with other complementary materials guide iom stuff in processing personal data appointments there are other Frameworks too in the organization so in 2017 we adopted a migration data governance policy that provides a high level framework for dealing with all migration data so that's not only personal data but all migration data and it established a governance structure and assigns roles and responsibilities with regards to migration data and then the iom data strategy of 2020 also highlights the importance of data protection and privacy I would also like to highlight that I am as an observer to the global privacy assembly since 2016. we have been participating in the conference and we found it very useful as we were learning a lot from the regulatory data protection experts and in particular the opportunity to discuss current trends and challenges um IAM is part of the UN privacy policy group and in 2018 we joined other un system organization in adopting the personal data protection privacy policy principles that Mila and also other colleagues were already mentioned iom's legal department is the organization of Poker point for data protection and we take into account these principles when providing data protection related advice to the iom office around the world um even though the principles are not binding for us we have found them to be very um useful as they were developed after the iom principle so they are more recent and take into account the recent developments in data protection alone um a big part in our how we try to respond to data protection issues is uh training and they have been trying to focus resources on the training we have been training since the start of the of the data protection principles and at the moment we are training roughly 500 to 600 stuff per year and in addition to that in 2020 we have launched a two hours online training on iron theater protection principles which became also mandatory for all IM staff members last year and another experience I think that that that for us was important or Lessons Learned is that for us it has been crucial to focus on raising awareness and educating our personnel and also engaging early and often with senior leadership on issues of data protection and so we really would like to continue on that road and we aim to maintain and further expand hopefully the organization's data protection culture in concluding um I would like to say that while data collection and data analysis especially in our area of work in iom it's very important it's very useful to identify migration patterns and Trends and it's necessary to provide humanitarian assistance to those the needs on the other hand we need to really protect and Safeguard the Privacy rights of migrants and those rights cannot be overlooked in the process and as already mentioned by iom CDG data privacy and data protection are not about the protection of personal data but are really about the protection of the people themselves thank you thank you very much Christine I think the engagement of senior leadership that you mentioned is extremely crucial again many of our audience members can relate to that and um similar to that the creation of a data protection culture uh in an organization is very important because often it is important to have this culture in place to be able to Advocate more towards senior leadership as well and also another um important point that I think you mentioned is the I think this is what is called really an evolution in an organization that starts with the adoption of a data protection policy and later on realizes that personal data is not the only data set that we should be caring about yes it is very important of course we need to protect the right to privacy but in order even to um ensure better data protection it's good to have a data governance policy that really governs the the different data sets in a way the different data that the organization processes so and then on top of the data governance policy having a clear data strategy I think these three levels have been very um clearly elaborated in iom one after the other as it happens in all organizations from the bottom up in the past years so thank you for explaining this as well and now I would like to move to Giovanna so Giovanna Works actually in a unique tripartite organization in the UN family which I always found extremely fascinating eating this tripartite nature and understanding also that the mission of the ILO is to promote decent work for all workers around the world I think it would be interesting to hear from you Jovana how is data protection reflected in the ilo's work thank you Christina um thank you very much for the invitation to the data protection day which we've given some more attention to in recent years yes the ILO is the only tripartite organization where we bring together governments employers and workers to discuss matters of Interest related to labor standards and develop programs that promote decent work for men and women so go into the question that you asked about how the ILO has been working with data protection related to its mandate in 1997 a code of practice was elaborated with a committee of experts that was endorsed for distribution by our governing body which is our executive board now this was a remarkable piece of work because at the time it looked at different aspects that had already been examined and were the basis of work with the ecd and the EU and our resounding themes that we hear today lawful and fair processing used only for the purposes for which the information is collected data minimization Etc so although there are more than 30 years old you know I still find it um 20 years old I still find it fascinating to read the the protection of workers personal data code of practice because there are still themes that ReSound today um so that when talking to colleagues this is sometimes something that they refer to in their daily work still in the way that they would probably look at surveys um data collection uh different things that they still look back towards the ILO in 2016 did adopt a policy that is focused on the protection of personal data and those was um those again are themes that we have uh heard come out from the UN protection or privacy policy group and that talk about again the principles around authorized use adequate relevant excess and not excessive so the ILO does have a policy in place around the protection of personal data since 2016 that guides ILO officials on how data is collected and how it may be used and how it may be stored in all those aspects so when the Privacy um policy group commenced its work the ILO was a natural actor to join and we did participate actively because we saw that we had data protection issues not only internally but externally because we do advise constituents we do advise workers and employers groups and different aspects of our daily work take into account sensitive aspects such as highlighted by Francisco around labor violations labor inspections and things like that that may be sensitive and may have personal data into received by different projects that we have and so uh one of the aspects that the ILO has been Keen to focus on with us um with yourselves has always been that that ongoing discussion about the harmonization of standards across the UN system and to facilitate the accountable processing of personal data so I think that these types of conversations amongst ourselves also raise the awareness of officials so that when they're handling personal data that it's not something only implicit in their day-to-day work but that is something that has to be more structured and formal so that they can take it into account in a more um yeah in a better way in their daily work because we're all looking at ensuring that human rights and those fundamental freedoms of individuals are protected and they can lead to discrimination in the workplace um if personal data is relieved whether it's our health status we have the recommendation on HIV and AIDS in the workplace to give an example so health status would be a concern the ILO has been doing quite a bit in the sense of what we heard about data security we are an ISO 27001 certified organization that looks at the information security Management systems that looks at having the different um is a comprehensive framework for the information security systems and that help to ensure integrity and confidentiality of information we have colleagues in I.T and in other units that are looking at improving and keeping up-to-date systems and that's an ongoing conversation as a result of the interaction with the privacy policy group in 2018 we formed a an informal working group at the Iowa between legal I.T procurement Etc to begin to brainstorm how we can take into account data protection in different aspects of the ilo's work since then we've reviewed and renewed the ilo's terms and conditions that now have specific data protection language including breach notifications and other aspects that need to be taken into account with vendors for goods and services this has been a very important aspect of the work because sometimes we call upon third parties to deliver services to the ILO and they may be given information that has personal data and so we've had to agree around certain themes to be a little bit more detailed than it was in the past so that's been an area that we've looked at that's closing some gaps we've also conducted a mapping exercise with key units about where personal data is contained sometimes it's about ILO staff sometimes it's about vendors and sometimes it's about beneficiaries and that work continues because as we're all looking to see is how we can best receive and treat and maintain and safeguard that information and also discuss other areas around data minimization and using the the data for the purposes that it's been provided for but the ILO in its mandate we see continues to collect and use data not only personal data but as you highlighted is part of the UN data strategy we've collected quite a bit of data that is anonymized and there has to be that aspect that is taken into account uh that we've talked about in passing about the UN data secretary General's data strategy and that's really important because that helps the work of each organization I did want to mention one thing that you also brought up Christina is around the cyber security and uh you know there's an area there that we've been we've begun to look at through our I.T colleagues who are members of the um it's called the inter-agency security management subgroup and they've been looking at the Jiu report on cyber security that I think will have a little bit of impact on the work that you do and that we all do here this year as we're looking for looking at different aspects so presently the um data protection function is devolved to the office of the legal law officer and that officials that collect data are responsible for the management of that data so as a result we're looking at raising awareness of the colleagues and how they manage and manage while the the data that they are receiving And discussing with them different aspects so I think I'll leave it there for now thank you very much Giovanna thank you very much for taking us back to 1997 and the very important guidelines of the ILO from back then on the protection of personal data workers which of course I mean the guidelines are from 1997 but especially in relation to Health Data again now with the pandemic going on I'm sure it's a topic that we can all uh relate to as well as I really like that you highlighted the importance of building synergies within our own organizations with other departments I do know that the creation of yet another working group of another task force and so on is maybe I don't know it might not be particularly seen as um let's say welcoming for uh often in the in our respective organizations but at the same time having those synergies is very important so we need to find a way to make this work um I know we've been going on for some time now but I do have one final question from Mila to finish in a way setting the scene of data protection or respective organizations since mila talked to us earlier about the work of the unppg and the adoption of the data protection principles I would just uh but she works at the UN Global pulse I think Mila it's it's really nice if you could talk to us a bit about the work of un Global Pals specifically on data protection and following that I will start asking you the questions that have come in from the audience so Mila over to you and you're on global posts um thank you Christina I'll be brief um indeed the reason why we as I mentioned uh at the beginning of my uh introductory remarks is that the reason why we started this effort um across the UN system is because it was helpful to our internal operations and uh specifically what uh what we've noticed since I joined the team in 2012 but way before then is that we uh we needed to have um policies internally and guidelines to help us work with uh um with non-un entities because that's what Global pulses work is built on is um ensuring that the United Nations has access to data and technology and since and since day one uh the mission of United Nations Global pulse was ensure that um that we brokered the relationship with um not only governments but primarily private sector and open up unlock the use of data by the UN and as um as you know in private sector and in many other governments data protection has already data protection issues have been much on the rise and been paid attention to very increasingly um thanks to that of course many of the revelations since 20 uh 2013 uh but way way before then um so I would say that uh um in 2012 we started developing our internal guidances and procedures on data protection and I want to stay with um um admitting but actually we looked at iom even before iom joined officially the United Nations system I still remember the day when I was looking at the manual and we were looking at all the guidances and principles and actually I will admit that that informed um our own internal policy internal policies and principles uh at the UN Global pulse at that time uh back in 2012. um but since 2012 2012 a lot has changed of course um not just that we developed the internal guidelines and principles um the key of our work was actually working with the UN organizations because the core or of our work is um is working with the UN system and not just our by ourselves um hence a lot of our uh Owen policies and procedures were informed by the work of other um entities with various mandate and um as we um as we developed our guidance and received multiple feedbacks from various organizations even before they had their official privacy policies and um and principles and I would say that you know of course um a lot of the work has been done working together with our office of legal Affairs in her French earthquake here representing our office of official office of legal Affairs and I've been working at Global path as the primarily as a privacy specialist also I do have a legal background I'm an attorney but I want to stress the fact that since day one at Global pulse we acknowledge the need that it's not just the um that we need legal protection for data and that we need to engage of course the technologists the um the data scientists and because the global fast consists of data scientists and data engineers and Partnerships officers so a lot of the work a lot of the principles that we developed the and the internal operational guidelines the data mapping that we've uh that we've developed uh approach that we've developed as well as the risks harms and benefits assessment which is I would say an equivalent but a slight much more broader than the original data protection impact assessment was developed together with privacy not just legal professionals but also data scientists and data engineers and information security officers at Global pulse and within the UN system organizations and the UN privacy policy group itself which we established in 20 2016. played a crucial role in our internal policies and procedures because that was the reason actually one of the reasons of why we wanted to organize this group um and um I would say one one key point because I don't want to take a lot of the time on the global pulses work is that I think one of the biggest um uh challenges was managing the risks that come with the use of new technologists and the use of large amounts of data and Big Data old word but still very relevant to our to today everybody started talking about emerging Technologies artificial intelligence um but I do believe that it's all about data we have algorithms but they're nothing unless we have quality data used within those algorithms no matter what type of Technology we use so with that we developed risks harms and benefits assessment which is a tool to complement the um the theoretical and policy guidelines right and actually helps us implement it in practice and which is based in acknowledges the risks of group harms that I mentioned before but also acknowledges the risks to of non-used in the data um Global pulses work is is based a lot on what actually data the Secretary General data strategy is about right that we need to utilize the value of data and and so what we acknowledge through abroad and the way we approach our privacy practices is that it's not just about the individual track a privacy it's not about just the risk to individuals through the use of data but it's also managing that risk of when we are not using the data in the United Nations operations um to implement our mandates and that it is our duty to actually manage these risks so that in the end we can use the data to help uh people that we are supposed to help sorry for the redundancy but that's the truth so um the key thing I said I would say in my final words is that while we are all implementing uh privacy principles and and they are the backbone of further policies and procedures that are being developed or have already been developed they've been inspired by already a lot of the work that have been accomplished by many un organized stations prior to the adoption of the 2018 principles and I think this is just a a stepping stone right as we're moving forward in further implementing and acknowledging the new risks that are coming our way and working together as one and I think that's the key thing of um of the of the principles as well as us working together as the United Nations or system thank you thank you very much Mila I think um it is important to uh to keep in mind of course the the how useful it is for all of us to work together but also how the development of a policy as such does not solve all of our problems like um Simply Having a policy is maybe step one or step 0.1 to a very long journey to come in terms of implementation and this implementation having lawyers working hand in hand with technical Specialists data security cyber security specimens in particular is very important so thank you again very much Mila I think it's time to move to the very interesting questions that have been sent to us already from our audience um and some of them are actually coming from un entities that I'm not sure exactly whether they're starting their journey in developing data protection policies or there may be later on or thinking of revising them but one of those questions related to where should the data protection function so to speak sit should it be within a separate unit that would only be covering data protection as is the case in some organizations should it be within the legal department which is the case for example in iom and so on I'm sure there are pros and cons in each approach for this question maybe I would ask Isabelle to explain to us the perspective and the idea that IAA has followed in this respect thank you very much Christina and I will explain exactly how the agency has distributed the rules not sitting in one place specifically but this really across different layers of responsibility across the organization uh first of all of course I want to refer to the all data Protection Officer we have one Central person who's responsible for providing guidance and showing compliance with other protection policy um and and she's a an admission officer who is in one of the department who's dedicating a half of time on this function I cannot mention the structure without referring to the Chief Information Security Officer it's a huge very important part of the of the of the work on this and he is actually supporting by ensuring that personal data are adequately protected from also from technical standpoint and of course Cyber City security standpoint as well we have a privacy working group who has been steering the policy and overlooking the um the implementation and it is um it's it's it was created in 2019 so before of course the policy and uh composed of um so to take the main data stewards procurement Finance we have in there all the different departments division of Human Resources as well and and our archive Specialists and of course legal and then um we have also represented in that uh in that working group or network of privacy focal points these are the staff specifically trained and um trying to ensure and to to be focal points in the Departments to answer to address all internal questions on the on data protection at the agency and of course across the different units each a head of units can have separate roles on ensuring adequate protection of the of personal data so of course the the deputy General director who have this sort of overseeing role we have division directors who are called information stewards and they're just making decisions in terms of classification and we have our information co-student who are the one who actually are tasked with with the actual action of processing the data and they are also responsible for ensuring that uh adequate protection is uh is in place at all time and we have this broad category which is invested on all Personnel to ensure that they are protected and to to make this happen we have available training and we have a broad range of resources available to them online internally so thank you Isabel sorry to interrupt I think that many organizations can get inspired by this one specific and concrete example from the iaea I'm going to jump to the next question because I know that many have come in so I would like the panel to answer as many as possible so the next one no surprise it seems that there is still some confusion out there around the applicability so to speak um or enforcement of regional and National laws but especially the European General data protection regulation the gdpr to un system organizations so um since we do have a lawyer from the office of legal affairs from the U.N Secretariat I would ask Francesco if you could maybe settle this matter once and for all in a way thank you so much Christina Well the short answer is no the meaning that the regional and uh and and National Data protection uh regulations do not apply to the activities and the handling of data by United Nations system organizations um this is because of our privileges and immunities but more fundamentally because it would not be possible for a small subset of the membership of the 193 members or or in the case of the United Nations Secretariat of the of the United Nations General Assembly it wouldn't be possible for a small number of those to attempt to regulate the activities and the inner working of the organization's uh in relation to the handling of data and the handling of data really is everything we do in a way so it is such a fundamental uh aspect of our work that attempting to regulate it indirectly or directly and would just not be possible but just in relation to the European Union general data protection regulation it has been also accepted by the European Union look that has been going on since 2018 with the European Union institutions that the gdpr does not in fact apply to United Nations system organizations directly all of the problems practical problems that have uh that if a reason are mostly about third parties that are found of course under their own law uh by European Union law that believe that they are obliged by chapter five of the general data protection regulation to actually attempt to impose certain obligations on a U.N system organization that they come into relation with but this is something that has created a quite a bit of practical problems and uh the position of the United Nations system organizations as a matter of law is that this should not be happening and and so I hope this very briefly clarifies this very complex issue but I'm happy to discuss more when when when you're applied thank you Francisco I like having brief answers on this point like the answer of no is particularly I don't know useful uh hoping that our audience members can just take no away from that uh answer or maybe um some people watching us coming from the private sector who might be data processors of the UN might find this particularly enlightening in a way so I think this is very useful to have a short answer in this way we've had many questions coming in around challenges that the U.N system organizations are facing and especially in relation to covid-19 pandemic and so on so I would like to ask maybe Christine from iom to talk about maybe one main challenge that I am has been facing especially given the the long experience of applying um a data protection policy So Christine over to you uh thanks Christina so there are a number of challenges but maybe let me talk about the one that we are looking at right now uh for this year next year is the revision of IMS data protection principles and the manual that I was talking about before so we are starting a two-year program uh in this area and um we are very happy that we have finally received funding for this initiative but at the same time it's of course a very challenges challenging undertaking so the program looks at the complete review of our legal framework on data protection in order to update it with the latest developments in technology and in data Protection Law and we have heard that from Milan we have heard that from others so of course um the the the the development in the data protection area also in the Technologies cloud computing artificial intelligence Etc is so fast and it needs to be taking into to account and we hope that that with that new and and updated uh um manual that and principles that will take into account the recent developments we hope that that will help us to provide better and more targeted data protection advice to our operations now what is the challenge about that is that we are in like many of the organizations here and like any bigger organizations that we are an organization that is operating in so many different countries and contexts so our contexts are reaching from migration management over peace building stability to humanitarian and we need to take into account uh these these different many different aspects when When developing a new data protection guidelines and we also need to take into account that maybe it's it's not like we're not talking about a framework only for one region but it's a framework uh that is supposed to cover many countries and all our operations and evolve so it's it's it's more more thinking I think needs to go into that so we will have broad consultations with colleague in iom but also outside um up on substantive measures but also practical issues um how to take to into account the different levels of connectivity for example in different places we're working so yeah that's a little Outlook from our side thanks thank you Christine and um I will I will just move straight away to the next challenge question which is around um the impact that the pandemic has had in our data Protection work so Jovana over to you if you could Enlighten us on ilo's view on how the pandemic has impacted our data Protection work thank you Christina Well we could look at it through some examples such as the hosting of virtual meetings and transferring participant information to third-party services that has required us to inform the participants through what would have been our old registration forms out there the information is being transferred to a third-party service providers for example so just taking into account good lessons that we've been looking at and saying how are we working in the past and what we need to adapt internally there was the encouragement of officials to inform of their vaccination status however again that information goes exclusively to the medical service so the information in of itself has to be to the appropriate interlocutor taken into account what type of information that is as medical information is sensitive that only goes to the medical advisor so that wasn't much of discussion that was well understood by all that were involved in those conversations from the very beginning but also in the field you know so you may want to ensure between the headquarters and the field that there's the same understanding and the same application of rules and just always having that type of same result because data protection in the headquarters or in the field deserve the same type of of attention um online training courses is another area that we've seen because as colleagues are not able to move from one location to another um or to information to constituents or training to constituents um that goes a little bit into the meetings but one example that we were just discussing was um providing Innovative Technologies to constituents and helping them and looking at privacy by Design although the ILO and those circumstances is not collecting the information per se where databases platforms um whatever those Innovative Technologies are is that they're already designed with the Privacy by Design aspect from the very beginning that the conversations with those constituents take certain aspects on board because although we could say it's for constituent and they must apply their own national law I think there was a good point made by one of the panelists that the level sophistication at the national level or the regional level may be different and it also may not be a an enforcement mechanism may be as robust so looking at those different aspects those are challenges that we've seen with covet but still being there for our constituents and providing them services on an ongoing basis those are two or three examples thank you Christina thank you jabana and I think in particular in terms of hybrid meetings all of us as lawyers have been I'm sure asked to advise on how can we hold hybrid meetings or completely online meetings and how could member states be voting for example in our online meetings and so on so these are all very interesting areas that we've um I'm sure all been asked to give advice to there is one uh last I think question that I would like to ask from the audience that I find particularly interesting also because of the way that is phrased so I'll phrase it that way so the question is how are international data transfers handled within the UN and also how whether there are best practices in terms of internal transfers between U.N system organizations now to be honest I have not pinpointed one of you that could maybe answer that you can raise your real hand if you would like if you would be interested on answering this maybe to start with and any of you could of course complement yes Giovanna go ahead I'll just jump in here because two things come to mind is uh with data transfers um something that is reiterated by the UN by the ILO is that we would um look at transferring data to countries where the 1947 convention has been exceeded to because we're looking at the availability of our archives that's one aspect and then also um to see the necessity and inform uh what exactly is being transferred so that would be one area thank you thank you Javan I think the link between transfers and privileged immunities is something that we should always be taking into account of course as International organizations when we transfer data outside of the organization anyone else I'd like to add to this yes Christine maybe on the aspect of the internal transfer within the UN system I think that's something that we have also realized um needs some more attention I mean in iom we are don't yet have a template we don't have a standard so that's certainly something that we have seen as as a need to to work on in the future thanks Christine and Mila with your virtual hand thank you um I would say that in in terms of the data transfers um I think in the the one of the biggest steps towards data transfers at least as we see it even Global pulse um was one the adoption of the principles because in a way it kind of gave that um common standard right or a sort of push um a more Comfort level to exchange data within um but also um I mentioned it before is with the third parties I think um while the principles pushed the idea the more of a efforts within each organization to further implement it into binding policies internally within each organization it also sort of set the bar and signaled the third parties on how that they can trust the United Nations system as well as um us feeling more comfortable um imposing I would say or or setting the bar with the third parties of how we are transferring data outside to say that this is actually the standard and it's um up to date with the new you know with the new risk with the coming risks and I think the more we are keeping it up to date and um internally at internal levels right within each organization the easier it will also be um for us to transfer data with each other and also outside exchange data with outside entities foreign I just I just wanted to say I think this is an extremely difficult conversation and and one which I think we will lead a lot of work in the coming years I think we need to be there this is my personal opinion obviously I think we need to be very realistic about um the fact that each of our United Nations system organizations has its own regulatory framework and its own intergovernmental organs under underlying those regulatory Frameworks as well and therefore we cannot uh probably get to a point where we presume to impose to each other uh any particular rules beyond the ones that each of us already have adopted so it will be important I think at some point to acknowledge and recognize in our mutual transfers that each of the two entities will uh abide by their own rules on on privacy and other protection and therefore that's why it's so important the work that Mila has been doing for many years and all of us have been doing uh together of trying to harmonize and coordinate these rules through the mechanism that exist for coordination of United Nations uh family of organizations uh and and thus I would leave it at that I don't know whether colleagues agree on that or not but I think I would agree on that just because I'm as the moderator I feel like I have some executive privileges here but I would just like to in the way the question that was formulated around international data transfers and I think it is important to to state especially for the audience members watching us now who are not part of the UN system family in a way and might be a bit confused around that that when um an a U.N system organization transfers data from one office in country X let's say from New York to Geneva this is not an international transfer this is a transfer State taking place within the same jurisdiction so we're talking about an internal transfer within an organization even though in a way a border is being crossed the border is not relevant to us because we're in the same safe space so to speak in the same jurisdiction of the same organization so what um International organizations Union system organizations would call International so to speak data transfers would be more any transfer taking place from the organization externally whether it is to a state to another entity and so on I just wanted to to clarify this and I would like to jump if that's all right with everyone too um I like this title the rapid fire question which is a question that I have for all of you and I would just like all of the panelists in wrapping up this uh beautiful panel discussion today to answer extremely briefly and no surprise this question also had come from the audience but um I formulated in a bit in my own way to ask how can U.N system organizations really work together in order to progress together in the area of data protection so this is my question to all of you and I would start first with Isabel what would Isabel's answer be a very short answer coordination is key is key in having the un's voice heard globally and including with global players and important players not to prepare the important players such as the seaweed we've talked about dgdpr and we've heard Francesco's being no one 100 question so having the position heard and and fully uh implemented is is key and coordination is kinda regardless when informal informal and networking informal discussion and coordination initiatives at all levels are really extreme as well and we actually cherish the possibility to receive to to just reach out to our colleagues out there to receive feedback to be able to adjust ourselves um and like nobody wants to reinvent the wheel when such good practice exists out there um so of course it's not a one-size-fit-all that will never be the case um Everybody each organization has to be able to adjust some policy to to fix it mandate but we we shall we have to keep coordinate at whole level and including the highest one thank you Isabel Giovanna what is your answer how can we work better together I'll continue these types of conversations we see in the field that we will have projects with iom or we'll have them when you with the unhcr and that we have to share um data to assist constituents to assist beneficiaries and if we don't have uh synergies then it will be impossible to help those beneficiaries so these types of conversations help to facilitate that work on the ground to the people that need it the most so that as Francisco said we have um our own regulatory structures but we have to be able to work together for our our beneficiaries and I think that these conversations continue to assist that and we've had a lot of conversations following from the 2020 uh from the 2018 PPG so it's always good when we're able to exchange as Isabelle says thank you thanks Jovana and Mila how can we progress together they work with non-un entities because I think we're all learning from each other from within but also by working with others and I think it's crucial while we're building Partnerships with the government's Civil Society private sector in Academia it's important that we're also engaging with those critical stakeholders that's one and I think one of the forums that was mentioned before is the global privacy assembly I think it's it stays very relevant and important for us to at least uh um be part of it and observe as we have been for many years um that that's one thing and then uh second I would say importance of including in these conversations the data protection conversations um various types of skills and um and professions and I mentioned that before but outside of legal I think we do need to have um true data and technologists uh but be part of these conversations in order to succeed in managing um the current and future risks thank you thanks Mila and Francesco thank you and all work together thank you Mila for bringing in multi-stakeholder approaches which are so important to the Secretary General these days but as the lawyer allowed me to say do not necessarily create new entities we have the CB the system chief executive Boards of coordination of all United Nations system organization and those processes can actually be very helpful in trying to bring together the whole U.N family what's that short enough it was it was that's great Francisca thank you and over to Christine things um I think harmonization um working towards better harmonization because as Jovana mentioned it I mean we are working in the same countries often needing the same data wouldn't it be great if we would not need to duplicate the efforts but could easier share data amongst each other and use it so how this can be done having this kind of conversations working together looking at what can be develop in terms of agreement templates and how can we better work on a common approach things thank you Christine and I would like to add my view on this small question in the end simply to say that similar to what many of you have already said the importance of raising awareness and creating this data protection culture within all of the UN system organizations together but also raising awareness about the importance of data protection the data Protection work that we do also externally the global privacy assembly is it's definitely a very good forum for that but just to say that I do not think that U.N system organizations are so to speak really promoting all the data Protection work that they're doing and it's so much um work that is being done so I think working together and with what you already mentioned with coordination with synergies um inside outside legal and harmonization the important thing is also to to raise awareness about all this work that we're doing so I would just like to wrap up this discussion and and simply to uh to summarize in a way um all these um different areas that we have covered so we've heard from all of you legal data protection Specialists on the um on the data Protection work that your respective organizations do and I think the beauty of this panel is how the mandates of your respecting organizations are so different so I think this brings a really nice somehow Mosaic of experience in data protection and then I think we have also clearly established what the different policies exist that are already in place certain of them currently being revised and I'm sure this would be of great help to many un colleagues listening to us out there that are currently embarking on this journey but we've also heard of a lot of challenges uh that all of us are facing whether they're linked to uh their revision as such of uh data protection policies or to their actual implementation in particular when new technologies are being used and when um more technical cyber security data Security Experts are needed of course to to work with us together so that we are able to speak the same language and provide appropriate advice in these areas or whether it is challenges linked specifically to the covid-19 pandemic that we're still in those days um but last but not least those challenges could also be turned into opportunities again with working together with synergies with coordination harmonization and so on so I would like to thank all the panelists thank you very much all of you for your time today for providing your insights in your data Protection work this is very much appreciated and I'm sure that our audience has very much um appreciated listening to all of these uh different views so I would like to wish everyone a beautiful morning afternoon or evening no matter in which area of the world you're in and I truly hope to see many of you in future data protection discussions thank you all thank you dear panelists very much

jz4u4nt8MLQ | https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jz4u4nt8MLQ | LinkedList.pop(index) | hello everyone so we're going to talk about our last linked list operation which is popping from the list so uh just like a regular python list you can pop an index okay so we don't pop by value we pop by index now um popping removes the item out of the list and it returns it okay so um other than that it's actually not too different than remove so i'm going to pop over to my code hahaha right now and i've moved myself down to the bottom and i'm just going to talk through what i expect out of this operation because there's a couple of other things going on here but in truth once you handle kind of these other things separately these special cases it does look a lot like remove okay so first thing to note is just like in uh well first pop has a default parameter here pop pause gets none okay so pause is the index the position or index of the item to be popped okay now if pause is none here's the two scenarios that i'm talking about so say i've got a list and i want to pop the item at index three okay if i pop the item at index three pause is going to be equal to three okay but if i just do this list dot pop with no parameter value then the default parameter gets substituted in so pause in this case pause was assigned a three in this case pause will be a none okay so that's what happens here and this is to support calls just like again just like in a python list you can call pop by index or you can call pop with nothing at all in which case it removes and returns the very last item in the list okay so all right that's just so you understand what how this method can be called all right now what are you going to do how are you going to approach this big problem well again it's a lot like removing except we're not removing by value we're moving by index but because we are removing by index we have to take care of a few additional special cases and these special cases have to do with whether this index this position that is given is a valid one or not okay so um this is getting the input and checking to make sure if it is valid this is a pretty important concept kind of like in programming in general you need to know that the parameters you get for your functions are valid okay so how should you approach this well the main thing is let's first let's start out with one simple special case which is if the list is empty what do you do okay well i tell you right here raise an index error raise an index error so what i'm going to type down here is kind of like pseudo code for how you need to approach this i'll leave it up to you to write the actual code but i'm going to recommend to you the order that you do these things in to kind of keep things straight okay now if position is not in the range of zero to the length of the list minus one okay so we're saying look you can only pop valid index values i'm not asking you to deal with like pop negative one or pop negative two any of that just anything between zero and the last index in the list whatever that is okay um we gotta handle that and then we got to handle the case where raise a type error if the position is not an integer right so uh if someone does list dot pop steve well that's not allowed when you call pop it must be the index it must be a number okay so we've got to make sure you got to make sure um that the position is actually an integer okay so i would do that first see if it's an integer first okay make sure pause is an integer okay how do you do that right how can you do that um you you need to we showed this method earlier use the type method to your advantage okay it's up to you to figure out how to use it and how to research it but use the type method okay all right now the next thing i recommend that you do okay is what if this is none okay what if if the pause is none right pause equal equals none what do you do okay well if you call pop without an argument you need to remove and return the item at the end of the list okay so what i'll suggest to you is set the position to be popped to the index of the last item okay why um because of the next step the final thing you need to do is check if pause is in the range you know this guy okay if not raise an index error okay so this is going to take care of all sorts of special conditions right it's going to make sure that when you call pop okay that this thing is valid the parameter is valid okay that's the first thing you have to do okay so you're going to have several if statements right at the very beginning of your method that kind of does takes care of this stuff all right but i'll leave it to you to figure out what those things are what they look like in code but this is kind of what you need to do all right but also again understand why you're doing it you're making sure that this parameter is a valid integer that is an index of the list like an index that actually exists okay all right now um what are you going to do so if we get to this point at this point the pause you are going to pop is a valid integer index okay great so now how do you actually do the popping right how do you pop the thing out of the list well um if you need to pop say the fifth uh the item at index five then what do you got to do you got to walk that list down to the fifth position okay well you already know how to walk the list we're going to walk the list with cur and prev right just like you did in remove because we are going to snip things out you got to walk the list but instead of like searching because before you searched for a value now you're walking a fixed number of steps right if you need to pop the item at index four you've got to step down the list from the head for slots okay so you're going to walk the list with curves and preve the position number of times okay so you'll have a loop you'll have a while loop that walks but the condition for stopping that loop is a little bit different okay right so you and and you also have to like count right so you gotta count count the steps you take right move this up you can't see what i'm typing sorry you got to count the number of steps that you take as you walk down the list okay that gets you there right so this is like um this is like the searching step get to where you need to pop okay and up here this step check that parameter is valid okay now the final step remove and return the item okay well if you're walking current prev i got good news for you this code and if you've done everything before it correctly and you've got current pointing to the item to be removed and previewed pointing to the item before it this code is the same like line for line as the removing code in the remove method okay so this okay you won't have to worry about this part but it's this stuff okay so the code's there the process of snipping out the head the tail something in the middle it's the same the key is that you get cur and preve pointed to the same place so you can cut and paste this code it'll work just fine okay but you got to do all the stuff before it first all right so um this pop method will be a little bit challenging for you um but this is the last linked list operation that you need to implement all right see you kind of wrap up this discussion of linked lists in the next video | Lucas Layman |

AoUfIgh3hhU | https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AoUfIgh3hhU | Let's Enjoy - Dark Souls 3 #23: Only the Most Erudite Gargoyles | welcome back Dark Souls fans two more Andromeda Dark Souls 3 our man your host Chad a fury 3 3 and we remain in the grand archives probably gonna be another episode and a half here but we'll see how it goes because quite frankly my pace has been way faster than I expected I was actually expecting this would be episode 25 26 or in that range and then practice has turned out to be more like well 23 so honestly have no idea Wow crying out loud didn't get myself killed him not careful here okay so you're got you've got him tack that got you all nice and immovable yeah ah there we go okay I should have more of you around here somewhere but regardless we are as the midpoint wax bath because I've mentioned before that is standard procedure for library entrance one must be there ahead and wax as custom all right I know there's a switch I can open up to get to an area past where I am that might be a short getting to act is later for instance here this is actually another shortcut bulb sort of shortcut it oh never mind I'm gonna shortcut well okay that's that giant ball of wax so why don't you guys not letting me hit you you're being jerks like all thralls do not like the rolls so late believer should be outlawed the slaves are a pain in the butt yeah yeah yeah yeah that's higher DPS there we go they probably have pretty good magic breads to be quite frank and of course you had to do that didn't you that's fine I came back to have you all right we'll backstab you and I won't regret it wow that was the worst possible role some of these roles are having a hard time dealing with things and invasions okay well that's the thing that happens hopefully I can open up a shortcut in the meantime I mean I don't expect to survive I only have six estes and well of course honorable duels expect that you don't use estes whatsoever but i do want to have okay nevermind i can't do that apparently all right fine let's see what you do I do not like online play the lag is a pain in the butt okay this is why I don't like online play cuz it's like I I genuinely don't know what kind of lag I can expect whenever dealing with this stuff and I mean I'm being nice by of course not even deal with this I mean I guess if people actually want to do proper proper stuff they'll do it by way of you know actually organizing league type things but I have no idea how to deal with jumping like the dues jumping around how do what do I do i I don't get PvP and I don't get the appeal the PvP in this game at all to be honest I mentioned well okay not in this run but blade Symphony is a much better I mean it's kind of dead but it's much a better game if you want to do that kind of sword based action combat system I mean it doesn't mean leveling or builds or anything it's pretty straightforward combat it's basically a fighting game but to me that there's just a much better concept for how to build a game I don't think I've found in Dark Souls 3 that's halfway decent for any kind of multiplayer is the DLC undead match which is actually pretty good I mean I'm gonna give credit where it's due all right I can't move yeah you get rid of words do the DLC met our undead match is pretty cool I quite like it but that is one specific mode in the entire game and as with rest the game the combat just does not really work for me I just don't find it as fun but whatever that's the price that I'm bring up you get the extra HP you get the risk of being invaded and presumably die sheesh just relentless well regardless don't lie so I guess turnabout is fair play I will grant you and also got back to my souls no problem because shortcuts because Dark Souls design it oh right I didn't wax I like I said that's the price of admission Tiger Hidden Wax I didn't pay for it that's my bad wait where was the wax death no really where was the there was the wax Beth was like down there no it isn't you know what forget it I'll just I'll make do now I'm I guess yeah I'm here uninvited and unwelcome but yeah I find it that I'm aware that there's something over there there's actually a few things over there but this is a shortcut I was going for before I got invaded at least I think it is this is probably a shortcut it's a bridge just to pass the bridge it's definitely an area to go through or to or something I know there's gotta be something right here that's taking the a Volyn which is the thing that was on the bookshelf I I guess I could get it for completeness sake but I'm not using crossbows in this build so I'm not sure the point is and that is a shortcut because that's actually shortcut back to that everything in the grand darker suppose it called the logic castle oh no no way this is this is grand archives this is right next to the opening bonfire no this is something completely different oh oh right No is within okay now I know where we are this is at the very bottom and this is also a good shortcut and there's also a Thrall that doesn't seem to know how to get to where it wants to go but that's fine that's perfectly fine let me back stab it and get it back a bit of HP because that's what we do here we cut things and then drain the rage beat we're basically a vampire or at least we have a ring that basically makes as a vampire I also have no idea how to get to over there I think I have to drop off somewhere that is that or I'm just about to get there actually I'm not sure anyway with that shortcut I see no reason not to approach that one area in the bookshelf that I was pretty sure I would need to explore because there's an area I kinda missed it kinda sorta I mean show you in a sec where I mean because one of these bookshelves this one yeah it's this one one of these bookshelves has another outrider night I think I might have said the last time that was the last out right or night and no it is in fact the second lost I write or no okay no never mind also scholar ring actually really handy for this build surprisingly enough I guess it's not that surprising but you know int boosts on an interface build I guess I think of the Rings as ways of making up for something your build lacks but now that think about it it's actually probably a really good thing to have for maintaining I ain't no it's screwed I just bow you ow ah there we go that's an arrow to the face and another art of face I felt like of our moonlight arrows they're gonna do a treat against these enemies yeah there we go got into you that is your death so that bookshelf is open which is actually plenty nice however there should be one further up as well and that wasn't bhakti very shorted I was looking for it but like I said there should be another one I'm here that leads to an earth or an outrider night and I'm not sure that there is oh never mind that's what I'm looking for and that's the out right and I'm looking for and this is gonna be a bit of a pain in the button also this area is clearly getting invaded a lot so I might want to be careful it's not the best move okay that's two that's a three that's how well it's close there should be a third no there it is yeah darn the delayed attack something I don't like about Dark Souls 3 enemy design is that it's just there are so many tells that are very similar which is like that's kind of you need to Dark Souls 3 on it's like any of any other Souls game that does that I mean the blood-borne all old hunters DLC comes close but even then I never found it to be quite as annoying that's actually more that it just happens to maintain the more reaction oriented play that dark souls under Dark Souls 3 end up having as well but then again that's blood Warren's design Dark Souls 3 on the other hand no no that the way the enemies have very similar attacks like that is a bit of a pain but there are some really good designs as far as that goes so it varies I mean abyss Watchers was one that has been talked about and that I mean it's subtle there's subtle design cues and maybe there is one here too I mean I should probably double check I mean for all I know the outrider night when that's done their combo like spews up a bunch of frost or something might be missing something about how it does it I expect that I probably am but at the same time it's very difficult to tell okay and then it's just to get myself there's a word of put all this dealt spells on like what would happen like I can't easily see me or hear me now I can get over to free it's in Oh what-what did it just guess oh maybe my previous comment about hidden body being useless we're actually out not completely accurate to the reality of things okay ah good come on give me room to heal you jerk well I'd love to invade another world but quite frankly I can't well if you know that shoot as you know that hidden body has more use than I thought it did at the very least I can't sneak up on this thing with spooking hidden body which is very nice also grab my souls like I'm not sure it affects the targeting algorithm it seems to somewhat oh okay I mean I put on the drink the lingering dragon crisp rings I want to see if it how it affects things when it can't see me which is honestly kind of unclear okay well I mean my previous comments about combos being done are donates how was it out of range ah why can't this game be improper 3d anyone who says that that see the three es and similar systems are worthless is completely full of [ __ ] because in that situation I would've been able to tell how far away the thing was can't believe how much trouble this thing is continuing to cause me oh well okay so it doesn't see me at all with him body except can eventually kind of see me okay so yeah it it targets where I was last time it thinks it saw me but it doesn't actually target well that's pretty cool I'm glad like that's a really good piece of data I just wish I would actually win this instead of die again embarrassingly because I can't judge ranges do I do this ah there we go finally oh I gotta the outrider stuff too I guess I guess you have to kill all three of them maybe just this one who knows but hey I wonder what it's like in terms of weight and power and it's not good enough okay well that kind of sucks which isn't actually just which back to what I had before which was during gauntlets well so what's the outrider knight leggings like oh boy that's heavy I mean it's hard to say pond of tightened answers leggings are really efficient for their weight and yeah comparatively our other night is better but not for the weight and dancers I almost weight dances I can use oh right I'm optimizing for magic that's why I could use either but right I don't I have something better magic defense also soul stream actually kind of cast that can I cast that what is the level requirement of that spell it is 45 which I don't plan to get shoot higher than I intend I intend to go up to 40 I'm actually end up less than that but I intended to go to 40 with intelligence although that being said I do have the ring that increases intelligence by 5 so once I get to 40 I can make it 45 with the ring if I really wanted to use soul stream I have ways okay cool actually I'm Denis but you know my rings I could probably get I mean the thing is all the rings together is I think have all but one because you have the the knight ring the scholar ring has five each the prisoners chain which is also five each overall you can effectively have a level 145 character using the Rings granted that's three ring slots and your HP is worse but that is still extra ring or extra stats effectively a compared to a level 120 build I mean like if you were to go for a pure 120 build the downside is your absorptions not gonna be quite as good as it would be I think it drops by 10% and your I mean double check if I do that so I drop over to the prisoners chain you'll see my absorption goes from 20 ok drops by about 5% it's a bit difficult to tell because of the way that the percentages are calculated they're actually multiplied together it's actually could be dropping as much as 20% considering how much it reduces everything anyway Spock hidden bode great magic weapon and then more stabbing of the backs down you go possibly maybe it no sadly no yes eventually yes okay good a death planed and I just realized I'm pretty close to being full up on souls for leveling also can't drop down here not without dying is there any house I can go from here I think that I might have gone down a dead end well that is mildly annoying no seriously why is this here I might be missing a ladder that often happens it's not unheard of for me to miss ladders I'm missing a roof oh okay no this is a return path okay that make sense alright I am going the wrong way which means the right way likely involves going up there because I think actually don't break a window on that side alright that's fine we're done with this side anyway let's go to the other side deal with that I expect that I will probably end this off sometime before the boss fight because this area is giant so I seriously expect that I'm gonna be spending a fair amount of time just getting through here and then get to the next area oh right I didn't wash myself hang on just I'll kill you now there we go does I have moyson music killing it range and then get rid of you and then suddenly find myself invading another world which is pretty cool alright we can either watch that apparent thing which I've had here for ever and haven't had a chance to actually show off because it hasn't come up successfully so let's see how I work as an invader because I have proven time and time again I am NOT a very good in BD alright trespasser hunt oh yeah that's why watch Tiger Farren also moses oh it's 2v1 and the enemies are on my side can't kill them no I can't okay is no no soul the giant tree let's see where the enemy's going to there no that's my that's my ally where the heck is my target I must hunt you I must reduce you to find paste actually you know what in body Wow a lot of dark spears are invading here in body and spook where are ya oh wait there there Oh am i hitting body ran out well that's just perfect all right fine whatever hidden body wait what thanks here Oh what okay well that's interesting Oh duty fulfilled okay why is there but the host of members didn't die well that was bizarre okay so that's five people all in one room or all in one swab that's what the watchdog affarin does that was a remarkably bizarre event anyone continuing along with the grand archives which I have now a little further into I'm pretty sure all these things yes they are they're all curse okay where's the year's wax Beth is it up here no that is entirely a wrong answer in fact this is not a great area to be to begin with ow is it in here I actually have no idea since I kind of went half way in here and then got whisked away to the forest I'm okay that's not gonna work Oh where is the nearest wax path this is the outside area well I know where the nearest wax path is and it's a ways away alright now that I have the wax now I can deal with most of that stuff over there because I need wax for that because bookshelves bookshelves with kursi hands that make you not want to read books darn those bookshelves for perfect books and bookshelves for promoting illiteracy rather for making literacy seem like a matter of dying I'm out of life and death not with wax you don't why we should reconsider some of its policies I mean no late fees maybe you can just like getting rid of eggs is really all you have it seems kind of cruel to have hands come out and basically turn anyone to stone if they haven't got the proper paperwork and everything but hey what do I know I've never run a library ah maybe these books are really bad to read flashlight ring entering the titanite and a gem flush my ring I think is essentially a universal everything resistance up yes everything resistance up by 40 that's not bad I don't see the point right now but it's good to know and this this is the outside areas talking about and when I said there was a big outside area have to deal with this is actually just part of the outside area I was talking about and it's gonna be a bit tricky fact I should probably well why would I wanted to do but that works too probably set this up because I'm gonna be fighting some pretty tough enemies in a second a lot of those gargoyles remember these guys man capital I'm actually these guys I never really found to be too challenging especially when they forgot how to fly which I mentioned very embarrassing oh well got to deal with that at some point or cuz you know I expected a death plane yep yeah death plane okay well I guess they can only fly I guess they only jump I mean we thought gargoyles flew but it turns out they jump once and then they forget to use their wings entirely no shame for it out yeah yeah everything's almost too far away what's I touched that okay maybe I was middle of another attack I couldn't dodge it I'll grant that much man your wing is annoying I don't think that walls gonna do me any good and I'd be correct actually doesn't give me a bit of good where is it ah there it is ah now I've got you alright got you dead alright I thought there were winging Knights I might be right there might still be winged Knights it's just that's clearly not my biggest priority at the moment big priority is the apparently completely inert Tennant lizards crying out loud or it just drops to his death and gives me a sharp Jim also good are you coming down here yes you are and you have the hammer which is to me the easier open to deal with but what do I know apparently I'd be wrong but apparently you also forget how to fly very easily so yeah my point stance that the hammer builders are easier to deal with Janna probably a giant lizard so with that out of the way I think that Oh does that leave me up to the higher section not effective but we know yes yes oh ok so there is an area back here I might missed this is a very large end frankly quite confusing rooftop section and there are some areas to jump to some areas could easily miss if you just turn the wrong way a lot of hidden bits and yeah this is one of those semi hidden bits I don't remember exactly how this is arranged cuz I go down here I have to wrap around but I guess magic of editing and all that I don't have to worry about it too much oh wait that something's a shortcut oh this is good this is not so good it's a lot Rick wait no I can go with other nights though these guys before it's fine oh except I have to actually you know not be hit ah I'd be able to avoid that whatever yeah come on I don't eat your block I want backstab you perfect okay there we go and then if I do this strong attack I should be able to stagger into death there we go that is actually a technique I learned playing blood-borne it's more effective and blood-borne because you use a charged heavy attack to initiate the backstab animation essentially you parry somebody or you backstab them and then you do a charge you charged heavy attack and that'll get you the backstab as they get up and you can change backs out of that way it's a really useful technique it's kind of cheesy but the best techniques are okay I know where I am this is actually where I as expecting probably in the episode and at this point I don't know there's more to be explored outside so I might indeed in the episode here especially if I'm doing more invasions yep and I'm doing more of Asians at least melis they're working this time yeah okay well not sure what I'm gonna do regarding filming this fact I might switch out the Covenant nachos is gonna work okay you're the hunter weird why aren't you doing anything with me okay well you're the host of embers so I need you dead hell can you see me when I'm set up like this darn it I wish someone would tell me how to do PvP in this game I'm not gonna figure it out my own there's too much there's too much weird things going on in PvP honestly I don't have any idea of what I'm doing wrong all I know is that I'm not doing anything like I can't hit anything and I can't tell when things are happening it was like I don't even know hey just I don't know I don't even know why would bother I don't like PvP in this game Oh Duncan oh that's what saved me okay well how many S's fuss do I have six no I'm just gonna this wash like a Ferren thing it was kind of neat to test it because it wasn't working nothing was happening before at this point I I don't know sure was arias fingers why not I I mean I finished serious quest so I don't think it really matters no one's gonna get mad at me for if I were to invade someone and actually successfully kill them which we've established is an extremely difficult task for me to do I guess I would get some rewards for it hey and the bone shard nice could to boost my Estus flasks been a long time since that's been possible and there's a shortcut this here a ladder super-important lattice it's actually the very reason I realized this was a way to go because this way I want to I can go deal with the other rooftop stuff okay this is a different rooftop this is not the rooftop I was looking at with the black hand stuff this is this is just a rooftop I missed something no no it looks like I didn't miss anything not much down there either well okay then decoration and fighting I suppose so from here I also want to fight those black hand dudes I'm kind of stuck in I only want to fight them yet eventually yes not right now right now I want to continue on the outside wall probably finish off the black hand dudes because they actually are kind of the second last leg of this entire area once you fight them then there is a straight round for the boss although it's basically voluntario 1-1 from demon souls and the and the rest of it there's a side area where you get some miracles and you get you fight a bunch of winged Knights I do plan to go there you get a tight n slab there actually and I could use one of those but that will be in the next episode from the looks of it looks like this is going to be ending off with me fighting the black hand as I expected and then I will continue on and next episode will be the last episode of the base game so yeah we're just bad at DLC and once I get through this then it's yeah then it's all the DLC content and when the DLC content is done then that is it and I guess there's another one of them gargoyles who I did not successfully kill nope apparently they remembered how to fly two at least long and oh nevermind oh no no no right cuz the the state of the entire game restarted which means that it would have been reset back to the position they were at earlier which is the position that allows them to get to me and be an absolute pain in the butt yeah maybe now they're good they're done I can continue along here and fight the winging Knights that will follow hey guys trust me when your Knights will of course well I don't know we know it's really more than goggles okay I guess I just completely forgot everything about this area I I mean I remember there being two of things I remember they had wings I mean that much clearly was correct said I got it partially right it's just exactly what those things were and how much of a pain in the butt they are to fight because that stupid unbreakable guard and I can't see [ __ ] because they fly okay well I might be able to do this like this is kind of me going off blind of kinda luck kind of luck kind of intuition not really conscious use of my eyesight and other faculties my senses were basically being used subconsciously there but I managed after a fashion and almost out of magic but that's fine I got through a double fight I don't recall if there are more than one double fight in this area I kind of doubt it I feels like the sort of final challenge they do before giving you the last bit there you go okay well this is it this is the the area oh that's what that area is it's the landing point for this whole rooftop excursion well I see then why don't you do the rooftop excursion exactly I guess items I mean items are a good reason all right so the rooftop excursion was far less relevant than I thought it would be no drop down and we had a stroke it open we had the other stuff open and that leads nowhere and that thing's dead I am currently unwaxed but I kind of don't care however I'm also on the verge of death or at least on the verge of running out of Estes and about that I do care considerably because this area is not an easy spot to get through so shortcut usage time all right now for the out shortcut er II I'm flattered and hopefully not getting hit by spells in the process that hope is ill-founded never run out of stamina in the poops never understand I end up actually getting completely knocked off the ladder anyway head in wax just in case I don't think there's any more weird coast cursed bookshelf stuff but quite honestly I don't really care to find out so that's not okay back to match 11 I think these two will be enough because we've got a bit of a challenge up ahead that isn't those three actually they don't even notice I'm here hidden body is awesome okay so there's a limit to I don't never mind I ran out it's awesome when it still exists it has a very short last very short cat of duration that's the one leg port ah okay I think I actually nailed a caster I think I can remember fuser ones you have to kill all once or killing any one of them will keep them dead forever wow I didn't expect crystal he'll actually do anything Wow well that was a poor choice of action ah come on yes there we go like a nail a caster then I get rid of my main rival in this group and the rest of you can just die whenever you feel like it okay now I would actually get around that so the next one's clearly the axe wielder because the katana wielder is a pain in the butt and I can probably avoid most of the other ones too although to be fair maybe not maybe so hard to say ow okay that was that was part of the timing in my bed that was my bad we're coming in my party that's where I'm looking for words I'm looking for oh wow hey I actually got snagged your wall that's a first right as I die but hey the AI actually played by the rules of the wall collision I have never seen an AI enemy actually have to deal with the walls before I feel somehow vindicated my constant issues with walls the bane of my existence in this game have at least been shown to not be uniquely my own which makes me feel a bit better even though I did die and I don't have to deal with the spellcaster again I mean I probably I hadn't get anything off the spellcaster again since they dropped their staff which is likely going to be a pretty useful staff if I were to use it but again I like fast apps ooh oh wow that skills really wealth intelligence good spell buff too and otherwise it is Oh increases bones these auras are the cost of increased FP consumption for skills oh that is not good for my build unless it doesn't do that when it's equipped well hey if it doesn't when it's not being actively used because I think of our mind is most of my build is quickstep like that is a massive portion of my build is getting quickstep to work for me and this lacks is a pain in the butt be out with quickstep or without quickstep or increase that because of an on quick step that would just be painful like you're getting waxed not in a good way oh good didn't last long enough to matter so yeah in this case and I guess I have to deal with at least two of them I think I have to deal with all three I don't recall there being the permanent death of these guys okay so one thing I'm gonna do because I when again don't really need this lingering dragon crest ring is very handy for hidden body and hidden body is apparently very handy for actually doing stuff I'm genuinely surprised I didn't hide hidden body to be of use and I was rights know what's wrong well guests are dead okay cool so I can just get rid of this dude who can't even fairly see me and is the only one who can see me and their friend thinks that they're fighting a ghost damn is why I wasn't fighting in the first place the range is ridiculous like I can't easily touch them because their range is so ridiculous and I realize I'm missing my souls I'm gonna grab those also I'm gonna hang around the statue because we've shown these are clearly the only enemies in the game who share my pain when it comes to walls come on yes now like it carried you I parried you could've reposted you ah what the heck oh never mind I got an arrow in the back that's why because their friend is an archer and that means I can't be too careless otherwise I will get shot in the back which is why I was kind of hoping to kill them first and acutely aware that's probably not gonna happen oh I pose that oh that's a short boat that's right that's the troppo art that's perfectly normal yeah yes oh all right oh wow that works too got you in the jump attack oh you jerk yet heal up didn't you know I want to backstab you no that's not gonna work this might getting pretty close just need to avoid getting shot by short bow guy there what's the thing as a short bow cuz you get his sores when you kill him so I don't think there's a way to get the short bow as well unless something I'm missing with something you can get off of ashes or some other means of gaining weapons what attacking not kicking oh yeah right because I'm worried about the guy right behind me who's gonna be shooting me with arrow has been not careful oh I want to kick you there we go no yes oh I frames riposte i frame save my life now it's one-on-one and I've got you more or less dead to rights I wonder if hidden body work since they kind of know that I exist what oh that's what I wanted to do it does not okay now once they have my once I have a bead on me I'm kind of hooked or no I'm not hoops I just can't beat you close oh that is nice I mean I was thinking hidden body was useless because in an earlier run that wasn't filmed I mean I put the fight with the abyss Watchers of that run onto YouTube as a hidden video which I'll link to in a previous video I wanna look at this one but I had a man screw it I have I have better weapons for the situation anyway I tried using hidden bodies there to avoid the attention of the of the Deacons of the deep in order to get past them and start shooting at them because that was the absolute worst boss fight for a fury build okay I cannot find an opening what the heck you you aren't doing anything you're in the air that's your most vulnerable time not invulnerability well you know what fine you be fair you do have a double sword moeny used that but it's actually you're the one I want to kill the most now that I think about it alright fine we're not fighting honorable tool I realized that actually be honest your entire build is pretty cool by my standards uh if you just stop hitting me yeah that's so annoying okay good I got you and I think you're at a veces cuz most a I enemies have only two S's flats and then so am i yes you are okay good steals your fate okay well that's fine I can deal with you if you do that yeah there we go know what why is that dip why are those iframes that does not make sense to me you are in the air you aren't my dreams your damaged frames why is our hitbox on the jump I know that I can if I hit with a stray shot from a far enough distance I will hit you it's just for some reason you hit me when you do that which I can't understand I give you two a jumping attack you don't get that luxury you know what screw it why am i fight you with the same means you're fighting me what are you gonna do about it huh what are you gonna do about it you're nothing you're gonna die that's what I thought wanna curate that she that is a double curse or a double katana actually and I can't use it cuz I need one more strength ah I don't want to put it level and strength at this point yeah they do the thing which the weirdly invulnerable jumping attack like I said if I were to do this I'm pretty sure I can be interrupted at any point during that attack and that's just a weird way of doing the weapon but any right that that's been dealt with and yeah for those of you wondering this is the final run up that's back there is the air is talking about the rooftops and that's the boss fight that is the final boss fight before all the second or last boss fight in the game which will be the subject of the next episode after dealing with the detour that comes up from this staircase and then after that soul cinder and after that the base game is done in 24 episodes of varying lengths but for now this is the end of episode 23 the penultimate episode of the base game as you find that shortcut that elevator that we saw right next to the bonfire all that time ago which actually reminds me I still haven't found where that elevator is for the area inside of lothric castle unless this is this hang on because I think I saw an elevator over here tonight no I'm thinking of a different elevator alright well then that's the shirt of a shame some of these elevators have like two parts to them and this apparently is not one of them maybe the one in the side I don't know anyway no that's make any sense because that that elevator is over there oh I know where it is there's an elevator right next to the boss fight and that's the elevator I'm I'm thinking of anyway for now though hey for watching and until next time enjoy stuff | Shadowfury333 | UCY4uWX_gO4ZYBsCO1wQcgmg | 2017-09-14 | Creative Commons Attribution license (reuse

Bahnsen comments on the growing Debt Crisis and its implications | well this is one of the most important things I talk about it's low slow and no growth over time so the idea that this excessive debt has to end with a bang sometimes it can end with a whimper and be just as bad the debt level itself is not my biggest concern we grew the national debt a lot in the 80s and 90s but as a percentage of GDP it didn't move now the debt is growing at a faster Pace than the economy is we have to slow down the growth of the debt and we have to pick up the growth of the economy but I don't want to do Doomsday predictions when people were saying some of this 30 years ago we were below a trillion dollars of debt now we have 33 times that level of debt and the can can get kicked a long time but it can't get kicked to that hurting economic growth that's what I would focus on | The Bahnsen Group | UCuhO5znD0xXg9tM6ujGHlJA | 2023-12-12 | Creative Commons Attribution license (reuse allowed) | en | metadata | en | 169 | 805 |

cDeoHWzberY | https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cDeoHWzberY | Net Ionic Reaction Equations - Precipitation of Ca3(PO4)2 | okay let's try this one here so this first of all it says calcium iodide we don't know the physical state plus sodium phosphate we don't know the physical state we want to know we want to eventually write the molecular the total ionic and net ionic equations identifying also identifying the spectator ions in order to do that we need to do a few more things to analyze this equation like first we the thing we need to do is balance the equation and figure out what our products are going to be okay so the first thing we need to do remember on these types of problems is to identify you know what's going to precipitate out if anything okay so calcium iodide sodium phosphate and then what would be the other things well it would be calcium phosphate and sodium iodide right so sodium iodide is going to be nai right because i is normally minus one and n a is plus one and the other thing is going to be calcium phosphate okay that's the harder one to figure out what the equation should be or the molecular the chemical formula should be so how do we figure this out well we know that calcium has the what charge plus two right everybody should know that by now has a plus two charge and phosphate well even if you didn't know yeah it's going to be a negative 3. but even if you didn't know you could look at this compound here and it gives you that it tells you what it is right since sodium is plus one and there's three plus ones you want the whole thing to equal zero it's got to be negative three okay so now we've got to figure out a way to combine a negative three ion with a positive two ion okay so the way you to always be able to do this or think about doing this is to find what we call the common factor of the two okay in this case it's going to be six right you could think of it that way and you can add these up to six each one of them to six if you want to do that or you can just think of them okay how many plus twos do i need to get to plus three okay that's a well they don't go one to one together so we got to figure something else out so let's write another ca 2 plus can i do 4 because 2 plus 2 is 4 can we get that to 3 no right well let's try this we'll put another po4 three minus well we got six over here now can we get six to four no but if we add another calcium right that gives us an overall 6 here overall 6 there right does that make sense that's the way you always want to do it okay so now we say okay well how many calciums do i have three of them right so we got three ca2 plus and how many phosphates two two po4 three minuses right so let's erase all of this work okay so now we don't write compounds like this we kind of combine everything together so this compound is going to be ca3 po4 2 like that because why because we have three calciums and two po4s now we got to ask ourselves well what's the whoops what's the physical state of these things okay well we got to remember our our physical state rules whether something precipitates or not okay so it says here for calcium iodide it says all common chlorides bromides and iodides are soluble except for silver lead copper and mercury so that's an iodide calcium iodide is an iodide and it's not combined with silver lead copper or mercury right it's combined with calcium so we know this has to be aqueous right also we look over here and we see that all common group 1a ions lithium sodium potassium and ammonium ion are soluble right so in that case we say well this is a sodium one right it's got to be soluble this is a sodium one it's soluble this is also an iodide so it's soluble uh doubly soluble from our rules okay and what about phosphates well all common carbonates phosphates and um are insoluble all common carbonates phosphates are insoluble except those of group 1a and ammonia well this is a phosphate but it's paired with a group 1a okay this is a phosphate is that a group 1a no so it's going to be insoluble okay or solid okay so now that we've figured that out right let's go ahead and put the the equation together before it's balanced okay so we got a q there ca3 po4 solid right plus nai a q okay so is everybody cool with that let's erase this work down here and erase this over here just so we don't confuse ourselves okay now we need to balance the equation okay so let's look at this equation we see we've got calcium over here we've only got one but we've got three over here okay so we need to put a three in front here notice here we've got three sodiums and only one sodium over there right but also we've got six iodide right and we've only got one iodide over there so in order to get six we're going to have to put a six in front of that thing okay so our calciums are balanced our iodides are balanced right now let's look at our sodium here we have six sodium here we have only three sodium well this should be a two anyway sorry yeah if we put a two there right then we've got six sodiums okay so we've got three calciums six iodide six sodium three calcium six iodide six sodium how many phosphates do we have here two how many phosphates do we have here two okay so our equation is balanced yeah it's about to be a double replacement reaction okay so now we've written the molecular equation let's write the total ionic equation i fully expect you guys to be able to do this on your own by now so what i'll let you guys do is try to do it on your own while i'm doing it up here okay so remember everything that says aqueous break apart so in this case we got three calcium we've got to put aqueous three times two iodide three times two is six i minus aqueous then we move on to sodium phosphate two times three six sodiums aqueous um phosphate right how many do we have two phosphates aqueous okay so those are all our reactants let's write our products calcium phosphate it's a solid we don't break it up right and sodium iodide aqueous so we break it up six sodiums plus six iodine aqueous so that's our total ionic equation now let's go back and figure out what our net ionic equation is and our spectator ions okay so remember with the net ionic equation what did we do we looked at both sides saw what was the same on both sides and cancelled those things out calcium not the same on both sides calcium ion iodide ion same on both sides and we have the same amount six so we're going to cancel that out six n a pluses on this side six n a pluses on that sign cancel out okay all the rest is different from both sides right so we're going to write our net ionic equation as 3 c a 2 plus aqueous plus 2 po4 3 minus aqueous goes to c a three p o four two sorry i keep messing that up two so okay so that's the net ionic equation there and then if i asked you what are the spectator ions what would you say 6 i minus and 6 and a plus okay uh you know honestly if you would have just said the if i just asked for spectator ions and you just put i minus and n a plus that'd be fine with them okay any questions on this pretty straightforward huh so this is everything that we learned today and in the last couple days as a matter of fact | Professor Heath's Chemistry Channel | UC0MpKfEGamGtAU8ujZzwFhw | 2012-03-05 | Creative Commons Attribution license (reuse

8b1_7-zWSDg | https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8b1_7-zWSDg | ♐ Sagittarius September 2019 Astrology Horoscope by Nadiya Shah | get your decade ahead horoscope now at Nadia Shaw comm hello fabulous Silverstar satellite your horoscope for the month of September 2019 looking at life and love I am your astrologer nadia shaw thank you for being here what an amazing month it is we have an active and fabulous sky playing out for us right now and if you remember late last month I spoke about it then a beautiful new moon took place well that is energy that we are carrying into this month so the first days of this month very much about luck very much about change especially for you where it comes to matters of career and so much more again I spoke all about that in last month's video but as we navigate towards the middle of this month the energy will shift as energy has a tendency to do with a full moon now this full moon in contrast to last month's new moon will happen at the very foundation of your chart the bottom of your sky this is a particularly private part of the sky it has to do with home and your family of origin it has to do with feeling at home within yourself as well this is an interesting full moon it will happen close in the sky to Neptune and Neptune will be standing across the sky with precision to Mars now these two planets do stand across from each other about once every two years Neptune and Mars and when they do there tends to be a heightened sense of emotion there tends to be some intensity as well but also changeable feelings and changing reactions you add the energy of the full moon while it becomes that much more emotional that much more intense and it is a time of change now as much as Neptune can make things feel ephemeral and Mars will only add to that feeling we've also got harmonious energy connecting to this full moon thanks to Pluto and Saturn that will bring about an element of stability so it looks like things are changing on the home front for some it's gonna be as simple as wanting your environment to evolve in some way wanting it to be different but for others still this is going to represent a time of an opportunity to buy or sell or move or to take on a new roommate you do want to be a little bit mindful here because as I said the energy is so changeable you may find something you may really like it and then there's this whole other factor to consider rather quickly but for all that there is that sense of you moving in a solid direction now because Saturn and Pluto both are moving through financial parts of your sky if it is that you have a home-based business or you work with homes well that is when you start tapping into this energy that much more and you are looking at making changes for your prosperity so this can be a time when there's that much more work to do but also that much more opportunity as well for others of you this might be a time when you just want to be with your family that much more particularly your family of origin where that applies and so whether it is that you decide to go for a visit you decide to go home you decide to connect with your parents where that applies or where it is that you are reconsidering what home is gonna be for you and where home is gonna be for you well all of this becomes possible under this full moon as we navigate just four days after this full moon well right around the 18th is when Saturn will go direct so right around the middle of the month Saturn its energy Saturnian energy is especially strong in the sky and this of course is an energy of some stability and of groundedness Saturn moving through a financial part of the sky means that you will start to feel as if your finances are moving forward you are able to understand things more practically and you are able to feel as if you are gaining momentum in the process there is a sense now that whether it is financial planning or whether it is implementing strategies in place so that you can create more prosperity for yourself well those plans are finally moving forward as we navigate towards the end of the we are going to have this month's new moon and this new moon will be taking place in a very social part of your sky a part of the sky having to do with your connections with other people friendships group endeavors professional group endeavors as well are covered here wherever it is that you gather with others well that is where the focus will be under this sky now this can be especially a powerful time for you because this energy does represent a sense of vulnerability in a sense that maybe your friendships are changing maybe your alliances are changing as well that is because this particular new moon is standing across the sky from Chiron now Chiron is one of the most widely used asteroids in modern Western astrology today and it represents that sense of needing healing or becoming aware of where it is that perhaps there's something you need to address so that you can feel as if you are moving forward new moons bring new prospects and so it could be that you're interacting with people who are in some way part of an increased vulnerability for you so it could be that you are finding yourself feeling insecure and wondering what that's about why are you allowing that it could be that these new people are behaving in ways or doing things that are inviting you to look at yourself more deeply and where it is that there's more work to do within you well all of this becomes possible and ultimately what this energy says is trust your heart trust yourself know that you are worthy and if there's work that you need to do on you thank goodness that's showing up now so that you can address it you can heal it and move forward now what can also happen under this energy is that you attract people into your life who need healing in some way or who act as healers to you and really we're all here to heal each other at the end of the day and that's ultimately what we are here to do whether we do it directly or indirectly whether we do it in our split-second interactions with each other to the best of our ability or whether we don't even intend to anything can be used to move yourself towards greater love and greater wisdom and awareness of love and wisdom playing out in your life and that ultimately is healing energy now where it comes to matters of love the first half of the month it is Venus moving through the very top of your sky that has you feeling very ambitious in matters of heart and in matters of love but as we navigate it is gonna be the second half of the month where Venus is going to move into this friendship part of your sky now it isn't just about that Venus in this part of the sky can be really nice it can be a very sociable energy an energy where friendship and love mix easily which is beautiful however over the course of the last two weeks of the month it is going to be Venus that connects with Saturn and with Pluto those energies are of tension now thankfully Venus will also connect with Jupiter in harmony so it looks like what is transpiring in love is giving you a lot of hope it's giving you a lot to look forward to however at the same time it is love now that may challenge your own sense of connection to your self-esteem and your self-worth now I want to add another layer to this as well don't mix friends with money especially in the second half of the month you really don't want to be doing that it just looks like that could be a loss and if you're okay with that that's great but if you're not okay with that then that is something to take into consideration however and having said that where it comes to matters of love as well be mindful of where it is you feel like you are giving a lot more being asked to give in a way that you're not sure feels comfortable to you so if you are open to meeting someone new well it is in social situations especially in the second half of the month that love becomes that much more possible for you but at the same time it does look like within those spaces there may be deeper lessons playing out for you as well there might be some inner questions as well whether it is that you want a friend to become more or whether it is a friend that wants to connect you with someone new just know that part of this journey is going to mean healing yourself more deeply for those of you who are just starting to date someone if you're just getting to know somebody this can be a powerful time of insight especially if you're spending time with this person in the company of others you get to see another side of them and that in turn will help you to understand whether or not you want to move forward with this person I wouldn't mix love and money under energy like this but this can be a meaningful time nonetheless where you are gathering insights wanting to do fun things together considering the cost of all of this right and money yeah money may be part of the picture as well as you navigate your pathway forward for those of you in an established bond having Venus in this harmonious position can just be beautiful however do keep in mind because of some of these celestial conversations I mentioned it can feel as if love and friendship are not mixing now and so whether it is that you are needing to be present for your partner and need to change plans with your friends whether it is that friends may have a particular opinion about your partner that isn't really connecting to certain nuances that are connecting within you and your heart and your unique situation well these are the types of things that can come up under this energy now it's always up to you to decide what's right to do in light of your unique circumstance but ultimately why we are with people what they add in our lives that is a deeply personal thing and if it is you that is asked to give your opinion to a friend about what is happening for them in love well that's where you may want to be a little bit careful as well because there might be nuances that you are overlooking at the same time but for all of that you and your partner should find yourselves being able to cultivate a healthy friendship at this time and that can bring forward things within yourself that you like very much what I love about this month for you well look there is a lot here but I am going to say I love the energy of success and possibility as you are starting this month luck is very much on your side and it can feel

James's Palace but Anne could not attend the wedding because she was confined to her room with smallpox by the time she recovered Mary had already left for her new life in the Netherlands Lady Frances Villiers contracted the disease and died Anne's aunt lady Henrietta Hyde the wife of Lawrence Hite was appointed as her new governess a year later and in her stepmother visited Mary in Holland for two weeks and father and stepmother retired to Brussels in March 16 79 in the wake of anti-catholic hysteria fed by the Pope ish plot and Anne visited them from the end of August in October they returned to Britain the Duke and Duchess to Scotland and Anne to England she joined her father and stepmother at Holyrood Palace in Edinburgh from July 16 81 until May 16 82 it was her last journey outside England and second cousin George of Hanover visited London for three months from December 1680 sparking rumours of a potential marriage between them historian Edward Gregg dismissed the rumors as ungrounded as her father was essentially exiled from court and the Hanoverians planned to marry George to his first cousin Sophia Dorothea of Celle as part of a scheme to unite the Hanoverian inheritance other rumours claimed she was courted by Lord Mulgrave although he denied it nevertheless as a result of the gossip he was temporarily dismissed from court with George of Hanover out of contention as a potential suitor for Anne King Charles looked elsewhere for an eligible prince who would be welcomed as a groom by his Protestant subjects but also acceptable to his Catholic Ally louis xiv of france the danes were Protestant allies of the french and louis xiv was keen on an Anglo danish alliance to contain the power of the dutch a marriage treaty between Anne and Prince George of Denmark younger brother of King Christian v and then second cousin once-removed was negotiated by Anne's uncle Lawrence Hyde who had been made Earl of Rochester and the English Secretary of State for the northern department Robert Spencer 2nd Earl of Sunderland and father consented to the marriage eagerly because it diminished the influence of his other son-in-law William of Orange who is naturally unhappy at the bishop compton officiated at the wedding of Anne and George of Denmark on the 28th of July 1683 in the Chapel Royal although it was an arranged marriage they were faithful and devoted partners they were given a set of buildings known as the cockpit in the palace of Whitehall as their London residence and Sarah Churchill was appointed one of Anne's ladies of the bedchamber within months of the marriage and was pregnant but the baby was stillborn in May and recovered at the spa town of Tunbridge Wells and over the next two years gave birth to two daughters in quick succession Marian and Sofia topic accession of James the second and seven you when charles ii died in 1685 Anne's father became King to the consternation of the English people james began to give catholics military and administrative offices in contravention of the test acts that were designed to prevent such appointments and shared the general concern and continued to attend Anglican services as her sister Mary lived in the Netherlands and in her family were the only members of the royal family attending Protestant religious services in England when her father tried to get Anne to baptize her youngest daughter into the Catholic faith and burst into tears the Church of Rome is wicked and dangerous she wrote to her sister their ceremonies most of them plain downright idolatry and became estranged from her father and stepmother as James moved to weaken the Church of England's power in early 1687 within a matter of days and miscarried her husband caught smallpox and their two young daughters died of the same infection Lady Rachel Russell wrote that George and Anne had taken the deaths very heavily sometimes they wept sometimes they mourned in words then sat silent hand in hand he sick in bed and she the careful listener stew him that can be imagined later that year she suffered another stillbirth public alarm at James's Catholicism increased when his wife Mary of Modena became pregnant for the first time since James's accession in letters to her sister Mary and raised suspicions that the Queen was faking her pregnancy in an attempt to introduce a false heir she wrote they will stick at nothing be it never so wicked if it will promote their interest there may be foul play intended and suffered another miscarriage in April 1688 and left London to recuperate in the spa town of Bath and stepmother gave birth to a son James Francis Edward on the 10th of June 1688 and a Catholic succession became more likely and was still at Bath so she did not witness the birth which fed the belief that the child was spurious and may have left the capital deliberately to avoid being present or because she was genuinely ill but it is also possible that James desired the exclusion of all Protestants including his daughter from affairs of State I shall never now be satisfied and wrote to her sister Mary whether the child be true or false it may be it is our brother but God only knows one cannot help having a thousand fears and melancholy thoughts but whatever changes may happen you shall ever find me firm to my religion and faithfully yours to dispel rumors of a supposititious child James had 40 witnesses to the birth attend a Privy Council meeting but Anne claimed she could not attend because she was pregnant herself which she was not and then declined to read the depositions because it was not necessary topic glorious revolution William of Orange invaded England on the 5th of November 1688 in an action known as the Glorious Revolution which ultimately deposed King James forbidden by James to pay Mary a projected visit in the spring of 1687 and corresponding with her and was aware of the plans to invade on the advice of the Churchill's she refused to side with James after William landed and instead wrote to William on the 18th of November declaring her approval of his action Churchill abandoned the unpopular King on the 24th Prince George followed suit that night and in the evening of the following day James issued orders to place Sarah Churchill under house arrest at st. James's Palace and in Sarah fled from Whitehall by a back staircase putting themselves under the care of Bishop Compton they spent one night in his house and subsequently arrived at Nottingham on the 1st of December two weeks later and escorted by a large company and arrived at Oxford where she met Prince George and triumph god help me lamented James on discovering the desertion of his daughter on the 26th of November even my children have forsaken me on the 19th of December and returned to London where she was at once visited by William James fled to France on the 23rd and showed no concern at the news of her father's flight and instead merely asked for her usual game of cards she justified herself by saying that she was used to play and never love to do anything that looked like an affected constraint in January 1689 a convention Parliament assembled in England and declared that James had effectively abdicated when he fled and that the thrones of England and Ireland were therefore vacant the Parliament or estates of Scotland took similar action and William and Mary were declared monarchs of all three realms the Bill of Rights 1689 and claim of right Act 1689 settled the succession and in her descendants were to be in the line of succession after William and Mary and they were to be followed by any descendants of William by a future marriage on the 24th of July 1689 and gave birth to a son Prince William Duke of Gloucester who though ill survived infancy as King William and Queen Mary had no children it looked as though an son would avenge inherit the crown topic William and Mary you soon after their accession William and Mary rewarded John Churchill by granting him the earldom of Marlborough and Prince George was made Duke of Cumberland and requested the use of Richmond Palace and a parliamentary allowance William and Mary refused the first and unsuccessfully opposed the latter both of which caused tension between the two sisters Anne's resentment grew worse when William refused to allow Prince George to serve in the military in an active capacity the new king and queen feared that ends financial independence would weaken their influence over her and allow her to organize a rival political faction from around this time at Anne's request she and Sarah Churchill lady Marlborough began to call each other the pet names mrs. Morley and mrs. Freeman respectively to facilitate a relationship of greater equality between the two when they were alone in January 1692 suspecting that Marlborough was secretly conspiring with James's followers the Jacobites William and Mary dismissed him from all his offices in a public show of support for the Marlboros and took Sarah to a social event at the palace and refused her sister's request to dismiss Sarah from her household lady Marlborough was subsequently removed from the royal household by the Lord Chamberlain and angrily left her royal lodgings and took up residence at Sian house the home of the Duke of Somerset and was stripped of her guard of honour courtiers were forbidden to visit her and civic authorities were instructed to ignore her in April and gave birth to a son who died within minutes Mary visited her but instead of offering comfort took the opportunity to berate and once again for her friendship with Sarah the sisters never saw each other again later that year and moved to Berkeley house in Piccadilly London where she had a stillborn daughter in March 1693 when Mary died of smallpox in 1694 William continued to reign alone and became his heir apparent since any children he might have by another wife were assigned to a lower place in the line of succession and the two reconciled publicly he restored her previous honours allowed her to reside in st.

Paul's Cathedral the Scot Sir John Clerk 1st baronet who else attended wrote nobody on this occasion appeared more sincerely devout and thankful than the Queen herself topic two party politics Anne's reign was marked by the further development of a two-party system in general the Tories were supportive of the Anglican Church and favoured the landed interest of the country gentry while the Whigs were aligned with commercial interests and Protestant dissenters as a committed Anglican and was inclined to favor the Tories her first ministry was predominantly Tory and contained such high Tories as Daniel Finch 2nd Earl of Nottingham and her uncle Lawrence Hyde 1st Earl of Rochester it was headed by Lord treasurer Lord go dolphin and Anne's favorite the Duke of Marlborough who were considered moderate Tories along with the Speaker of the House of Commons Robert Harley and supported the occasional conformity bill of 1702 which was promoted by the Tories and opposed by the Whigs the bill aimed to disqualify Protestant dissenters from public office by closing a loophole in the test acts legislation that restricted public office to Anglican conformists the existing law permitted nonconformists to take office if they took Anglican Communion once a year Anne's husband was placed in an unfortunate position when Ann forced him to vote for the bill even though being a Lutheran he was an occasional conformist himself the Whigs successfully blocked the bill for the duration of the parliamentary session and reinstituted the traditional religious practice of touching for the Kings evil that had been issued by William as papist superstition after the great storm of 1703 and declared a general fast to implore God to pardon the crying sins of this nation which had drawn down this sad judgment the occasional conformity bill was revived in the wake of the storm but and withheld support fearing its reintroduction was a ruse to cause a political quarrel once again it failed a third attempt to introduce the bill as an amendment to a money bill in November 1704 was also ported the Whigs vigorously supported the war of the Spanish Succession and became even more influential after the Duke of Marlborough won a great victory at the Battle of Blenheim in 1704 many of the High Tories who opposed British involvement in the land war against France were removed from office go dolphin Marlborough and Harley who had replaced Nottingham as Secretary of State for the northern department for ruling triumvirate they were forced to rely more and more on support from the Whigs and particularly from the Whig junto Lord summers Halifax Orford Wharton and Sunderland who men disliked Sara the Duchess of Marlborough incessantly badgered the Queen to appoint more Whigs and reduce the power of the Tories whom she considered little better than Jacobites and the Queen became increasingly discontented with her in 1706 go dolphin and the Marlboros forced and to accept Lord Sunderland a junto Whig in the Marlboros son-in-law as Hartley's colleague as Secretary of State for the southern department although this strengthened the ministry's position in Parliament it weakened the ministry's position with the Queen as an became increasingly irritated with go dolphin and with her former favourite the Duchess of Marlborough for supporting Sunderland and other Whig candidates for vacant government and church positions the Queen turned for private advice to Harley who is uncomfortable with Marlborough and go dolphins turned towards the Whigs she also turned to Abigail Hill a woman of the bedchamber whose influence grew his ends relationship with Sara deteriorated abigail was related to both Harley and the Duchess but was politically closer to Harley and acted as an intermediary between him and the Queen the division within the ministry came to a head on the 8th of February 1708 when go dolphin and the Marlboros insisted that the Queen had to either dismiss Harley or do without their services when the Queen seemed to hesitate Marlborough and go dolphin refused to attend a cabinet meeting Harley attempted to lead business without his former colleagues and several of those present including the Duke of Somerset refused to participate until they returned her hand forced the Queen dismissed Harley the following month Anne's Catholic half-brother James Francis Edward Stuart attempted to land in Scotland with French assistance in an attempt to establish himself as King and withheld Royal Assent from the Scottish militia bill 1708 in case the militia raised in Scotland was disloyal and sided with the Jacobites she was the last British sovereign to veto a parliamentary bill although her action was barely commented upon at the time the invasion fleet never landed and was chased away by British ships commanded by Sir George as a result of the Jacobite invasion scare support for the Tories fell and the Whigs were able to secure a majority in the British general election 17:08 the Duchess of Marlborough was angered when Abigail moved into rooms at Kensington Palace that Sarah considered her own though she rarely if ever used them in July 17 Oh 8 she came to court with a body poem written by a Whig propagandist probably Arthur Mainwaring that implied a lesbian relationship between Anne and Abigail the Duchess wrote to Anne telling her she had damaged her reputation by conceiving a great passion for such a woman strange and unaccountable Sarah thought Abigail had risen above her station writing I never thought her education was such as to make her fit company for a great Queen many people have liked the humor of their chamber maids and have been very kind to them but tis very uncommon to hold a private correspondence with them and put them upon the foot of the friend while some modern commentators have concluded Anne was a lesbian most have rejected this analysis in the opinion of Anne's biographers she considered Abigail nothing more than a trusted servant and was a woman of strong traditional beliefs who was devoted to her husband at a Thanksgiving service for a victory at the Battle of Oden art and did not wear the jewels that Sarah had selected for her at the door of st. Paul's Cathedral they had an argument that culminated in Sarah offending the Queen by telling her to be quiet and was dismayed when Sarah forwarded an unrelated letter from her husband to Anne with a covering note continuing the argument and wrote back pointedly after the commands you gave me on the Thanksgiving Day of not answering you I should not have troubled you with these lines but to return the Duke of Marlboros letter safe into your hands and for the same reason do not say anything to that nor to yours which enclosed it topic death of her husband dan was devastated by her husband's death in October 1708 and the event proved a turning point in her relationship with the Duchess of Marlborough the Duchess arrived at Kensington Palace shortly before George died and after his death insisted that Anne leave Kensington for st. James's Palace against her wishes and resented the Duchess's intrusive actions which included removing a portrait of George from the Queen's bedchamber and then refusing to return it in the belief that it was natural to avoid seeing of papers or anything that belonged to one that one loved when they were just dead the Whigs used George's death to their own advantage the leadership of the Admiralty was unpopular among the Whig leaders who had blamed Prince George and his deputy George Churchill who was Marlboros brother for mismanagement of the Navy with Whigs now dominant in Parliament and an distraught at the loss of her husband they forced her to accept the junto leaders Lord summers in Wharton into the cabinet and however insisted on carrying out the duties of Lord High Admiral herself without appointing a member of the government to take George's place undeterred the junto demanded the appointment of the Earl of Orford another member of the junto and one of prince george's leading critics as First Lord of the Admiralty and appointed the moderate Earl of Pembroke on the 29th of November 1708 pressure mounted on Pembroke go dolphin and the Queen from the dissatisfied junto Whigs and Pembroke resigned after less than a year in office another month of arguments followed before the Queen finally consented to put Orford in control of the Admiralty as First Lord in November 1709 Sarah continued to berate and for her friendship with Abigail and in October 1709 and wrote to the Duke of Marlborough asking that his wife leave off teasing and tormenting me and behave herself with the decency she ought both to her friend and queen on Monday Thursday the 6th of April 1710 and in Sarah saw each other for the last time according to Sarah the Queen was

leave the Queen less protected and declared God would be her guard and ordered Sunderland to redeploy her troops in line with Ann's views said Chevron was convicted but his sentence suspension of preaching for three years was so light as to render the trial a mockery the Queen increasingly disdainful of the Marlboros and her ministry finally took the opportunity to dismiss Sunderland in June

Harley which began to seek peace with France unlike the Whigs Harley and his ministry were ready to compromise by giving Spain to the Bourbon claimant Philip of Anjou in return for commercial concessions in the parliamentary elections that soon followed his appointment Harley aided by government patronage secured a large Tory majority in January 1711 and forced Serra to resign her court offices and Abigail took over as keeper of the Privy Purse Harley was stabbed by a disgruntled French refugee the Marquis de gasguard in March and n wept at the thought he would die he recovered

submitted to Parliament for ratification did not go as far as the Whigs wanted to curb bourbon ambitions in the house of the Tory majority was unassailable but the same was not true in the House of Lords the Whig secured the support of the Earl of Nottingham against the treaty by promising to support his occasional conformity bill seeing a need for decisive action to erase the ante peace majority in the House of Lords and seeing no alternative and reluctantly created 12 new peers even though such a mass creation of peers was unprecedented Abigail's husband Samuel Masham was made a baron although and protested to Harley that she never had any design to make a great lady of Abigail and should lose a useful servant on the same day Marlborough was dismissed as commander of the army the peace treaty was ratified and Britain's military involvement in the War of the Spanish Succession ended by signing the Treaty of Utrecht king louis xiv of france recognized the Hanoverian succession in britain nevertheless gossip that Anne and her ministers favored the succession of her half-brother rather than the Hanoverians continued despite Anne's denials in public and in private the rumours were fed by her consistent refusals to permit any of the Hanoverians to visit or move to England and by the intrigues of Harley in the Tory Secretary of State Lord Bolingbroke who were in

that and told the cabinet that he neglected all business that he was seldom to be understood that when he did explain himself she could not depend upon the truth of what he said that he never came to

Duchess of Marlborough Unduli disparaged and in her memoirs and her prejudiced recollections persuaded many biographers that Anne was a weak a resolute woman beset by bedchamber quarrels and deciding high policy on the basis of personalities the Duchess wrote of an she certainly meant well and was not a fool but nobody can maintain that she was wise nor entertaining in conversation she was ignorant in everything but what the Parsons had taught her when a child being very ignorant very fearful with very little judgment it is easy to be seen she might mean well being surrounded with so many artful people who at last compass their designs to her dishonour some modern historians view Anne more favorably in his biography of 1980 Edward Greg presents the Queen as a woman of invincible stubbornness who was the central figure of her age Greg's argument depicts her reign as a period of significant progress for the country Britain became a major military power on land the union of England and Scotland created a United Kingdom of Great Britain and the economic and political base for the Golden Age of the 18th century was established however the Queen herself has received little credit for these achievements and has long been depicted as a weak and ineffectual monarch dominated by her advisers in the opinion of historians traditional assessments of Anne as fat constantly pregnant under the influence of favourites and lacking political astuteness or interest may derive from male chauvinist prejudices against women author David Greene noted hers was not as used to be supposed petticoat government she had considerable power yet time and time again she had to capitulate Greg concluded that n was often able to impose her will even though as a woman in an age of male dominance and preoccupied by her health her reign was marked by an increase in the influence of ministers and a decrease in the influence of the crown she attended more cabinet meetings than any of her predecessors or successors and presided over an age of artistic literary economic and political advancement that was made possible by the stability and prosperity of her reign in architecture Sir

the legal business of the city the law department includes specialists in a multitude of fields of litigation land youth ethics professional responsibility contracts administrative law juvenile delinquency and legislative interpretation just to name a few they represent the city elected officials and city agencies with any and all legal issues they may confront the mayor must submit the name of the nominee for corporation council within 60 days of a vacancy to the city council for its advice and consent i want to welcome our candidate and raise your right hand please to be sworn in ms pastana do you swear to tell the truth the whole truth and nothing but the truth do you wish to make an opening statement i was wondering okay good morning chair castle it's speaker johnson and distinguished members of the rules privileges and elections committee it is a pleasure to come before you to introduce myself and answer your questions relating to my nomination for appointment as new york city's 80th corporation council having worked at the law department for more than 33 years words can't do justice to how honored i am to be before you for consideration for this appointment as the mayor and others have noted since my nomination i am the first woman and the first latina to be nominated to lead an office with such a long history the significance of those facts is humbling but to my knowledge i would also be the first attorney who progressed through the ranks of the law department and was then selected to be corporation councils subject of course to your consideration i believe my training and experience over 33 plus years as an attorney representing the city its officials including the council and its members and municipal employees in a wide variety of matters more than qualifies me to hold the position of corporation council everything that i have learned from my exceptional colleagues and supervisors as well as from my clients in multiple administrations and agencies and from my interactions with a variety of elected officials and their staffs has shaped the lawyer that i am today in my very first days at the law department my first supervisor took care to explain that my obligation is to the city as a whole and i should always keep in mind that while it is nice to win my job is to achieve the right results throughout my career that has been the guiding principle of my work sometimes it is really difficult to know what the right result is and as i progressed through the ranks of the law department it became harder and harder as the issues became more complex often involving competing legitimate interests in all cases it has been vitally important to listen to my clients while i know or i can learn the law my clients know the facts and the problems close up and are critically important to the analysis and defining the solution at the same time the law department has more distance than our clients from issues presented and has less invested in defending the way things are so that we can offer a more dispassionate assessment of problems and propose solutions throughout my career i have done my best on behalf of the city of new york and in furtherance of the rule of law my history and experience has prepared me well for the role of corporation council i respectfully request that you give me the opportunity to serve as the chief legal officer of the city of new york i'm happy to answer any questions you have thank you thank you i now want to recognize the speaker who may wish to make an opening statement and ask you some questions uh thank you chair kosowitz good morning ms pastana thank you for joining us today i want to commend you on your impressive background and thank you for your decades of service for the city that we all love as you know we are here today as the chair said because i called for a charter revision commission in 2019 and the commission recommended that the corporation council come before the city council for its advice and consent one of the reasons for this change in practice is that the corporation council is charged with serving as the lawyer for the city as a whole however since the 1989 charter made the council the mayor's co-equal branch in government there have been times when it has not seemed like the law department has given sufficient attention to the council and other independently elected officials when their interests differed from the legal positions of the mayor to start back before you were in executive positions at the law department during the giuliani administration many thought he used the law department to abuse his powers especially whenever the first amendment was involved he went after those who said and displayed things he found offensive and he used the law department to do it when there was very little support and a lot of opposition from other city elected officials then continuing under mayor bloomberg there were several instances of the law department arguing that the council and by extension the city was preempted from acting in a given area by state law there were also instances where the law department supported a mayoral position that the city lacked home rule authority to act in areas where the city had acted for decades around taxi cab medallions in fact in the case about the prevailing wage law the law department argued mayor bloomberg's position and chose not to defend a duly enacted city law then when mayor bloomberg left office the law department reversed itself and supported the new mayor's position stating that quote the administration now agrees with the council and interveners that the prevailing wage law is not preempted this was the exact opposite position from when the law department took orders from the mayor to sue the council attempting to overturn a duly enacted city law this type of legal flip-flopping undermines public confidence in the law department's ability to make decisions about the legal position of the city in a thoughtful and impartial manner fortunately we have had fewer of those instances recently but there have still been instances we feel like the council has been treated less like a client of the law department and more like an afterthought let me give you some examples we have received drafts of briefs on important cases regarding the council and city powers merely hours before comments are due and told by the law department we have a few hours to get them in or we would not be included we are not promptly notified when city council members are sued and recently were only notified that a council member was named as the defendant in a case that had been filed months earlier the law department did not give us the courtesy of telling us that a council member was being sued in briefs involving claims against the mayor and council members the arguments defending the mayor routinely are the focus of the vast majority of briefs with a short section about the council only included at the very end of those briefs the law department has refused to make persuasive legal arguments to defend city laws if the arguments are critical of the nypd the council has learned about important court opinions in some of our major cases by reading about them in the press instead of receiving them promptly from the law department who is supposed to be acting as the city council's lawyers as well if the corporation council is to fill their charter mandate as the lawyer for the entire city the council cannot be treated like this mayoral agencies may not want to be closely involved in cases that seem more routine and given your role in working with executive agency lawyers that may be justifiable at times but that is not the case with a separate and co-equal branch of government our staff here at the city council takes litigation on behalf of the council and our members with a high level of seriousness the high level of seriousness that it requires to be sure there are divisions of the law department who work amazingly well with our lawyers and consult very closely with them they even have drafted briefs together and i want to point that out i don't want to paint with a broad brush we would like that to become the norm when issues of importance to the council including our legislative powers are at stake so i'm really glad you are here today we want to make sure that all of city government sees the corporation council as their lawyer and i know some of my colleagues will explore many of these issues further but i want to jump right in with some questions if that's okay sure thank you so the first question i have is about amicus briefs the law department has prevented the city council from filing amicus briefs advancing arguments that espouse positions opposing those of the mayor why is the law department the correct actor to determine whether the council can file such a brief don't you think that the law department will always have a conflict because the law department will never want to allow the council to file a brief in opposition to your legal arguments in support of the mayor the issue excuse me the issue of amicus briefs has been a contentious one between the law department or and and the council the law department under the charter is the chief legal officer of the city and in litigation the city must speak with one voice when the council as a as a body wishes to put in opposition to a position that the city is taking in litigation the city is not speaking with one voice and in the sorry in the past that that has been an issue when the when the concern however goes to the powers of the council or the scope of its authority i agree that that is an appropriate time for the council to uh be given either party status or amicus status i think it's a different question when it's a individual council member or a group of council members not speak not the council as a body i think that individual council members have a as much right as anyone else to propose a submission of amicus brief on their own behalf and that of their constituents because they're not speak trying to speak on behalf of the city i know that's a a gray line sometimes but that that is the way i see it i understand what you're saying but but you know again the corporation council is supposed to be the lawyer for the entire city and uh when the corporation council determines that the council's position uh should not be represented in a way it doesn't feel like you are or the corporation council whoever they may be really take our role seriously as a separate and co-equal branch of government my very strong preference is to resolve those disagreements between the co-equal branches of government in inter-governmental discussions either among the principles or we work as you noted in most instances work closely and well with council's legal staff to try to work it out amongst ourselves so that and come come up with a path forward that maybe not everybody loves but everybody can live with that is my i believe that the council is as much a client as the administration as are the other elected officials and my strong preference is that my clients get along and figure out a path forward i think everybody is looking for what's best for the city of new york and it's very difficult but i think we should always make that effort and not have battling briefs in a court of law because the courts aren't in a particularly good position to decide these issues either i just don't think that's been the case in the past i understand what you're saying that's your strong preference but i don't think that the council has been treated that way by the corporation counsel's office when it comes to making sure that our views are represented if there is some differing nuance and opinion so you're making a commitment to have those conversations in a serious way with council members and with the body i i am and if there are this is not the right form to talk about particular cases that you mentioned in your opening but i would be happy to speak with your staff about those particular matters separately in a private conference okay do you think it is ever appropriate for the law department to argue that the city was preempted that the city through its local legislative body is precluded by state or federal law from legislating on a certain manner i'm talking about from passing a duly enacted local law when there is a colorable argument that the city has such a power so there's a strong presumption that duly enacted laws are valid and and there are some exceptions to that principle and if a local law is reasonably defensible then that is the action i really don't like that phrase colorable argument in my mind that's okay it passes the laugh test i don't think that's the standard any of us want our legislation to to be held to so again my preference is to try to if if there are concerns about preemption those should be thrashed out before the law it comes before the body for a vote to try to put us in the strongest defensible position as possible so that the law actually gets to take effect we don't want you to pass a law you don't want to pass a law that will be struck down colorable makes me a little it's not strong enough okay i mean in the case of the living wage legislation that i mentioned in my opening statement if once mayor de blasio assumed office the corporation counsel's office was able to see the merit in the council's legal position that the city had the authority to legislate in the area of living wages how could the law department have justified arguing for less city power in the same exact case under the previous mayor i i can't speak to that case or the decisions and arguments that were made in by my predecessors i wasn't involved in the decision making or the argument so i i can't really speak to it but i'm speaking generally if you could think generally about it doesn't go to the credibility of the law department if uh just two years earlier or three years earlier the law department was stating uh publicly and through legal briefs that the city did not have this power and then just a couple of years later the city said nope you do have the power i mean doesn't that go to the credibility of the law department it is harmful to the credibility of the law department that would break my heart yes so we shouldn't be we shouldn't be doing that we shouldn't be flip-flopping i don't i would want to avoid that and find another solution and preferably it's the solution before we get to that place where the we're challenging duly enacted law or anyone is challenging duly enacted law that we should be able to come together and defend it and i just want to uh read something a well-known columbia law professor and a former city official richard berfald who was on the convex of interest board stated about the bloomberg administration's legal legacy that quote there may be a conflict between the immediate political and policy needs of any mayoral administration with a willingness to use whatever legal tools are at hand including state preemption to advance its goals and the long-term interest of the city in being able to chart its own destiny with less interference from the state so my question after reading that statement is how can you assure us that any future consideration of arguing preemption against a local law will center on the best long-term interests of the city in being able to chart its own destiny i think that is an excellent principle to uphold we are all interested in the best long-term interests of the city no one wants to see this or argue that the city is curtailed in a way that is just is not a hard and fast uh conclusion thank you do you think it is ever appropriate for the law department to argue that the city lacks home rule authority to act in a certain area when again there is a maybe i shouldn't use the the language a colorable argument that the state legislature cannot act without a home rule request from the city i i i don't feel it's appropriate for me to make sweeping statements without sort of the actual facts in front of me but i'm i would not as as we just in sort of in this prior exchange i would not be in favor of making any arguments that would diminish the city's powers and prerogatives say that generally but i can't speak to any particular matter without sort of the whole thing well to give a specific instance that i hope you can speak to in his talk on the legal legacy of mayor bloomberg professor ber fault who i just mentioned a few moments ago said quote a particularly striking feature of the bloomberg administration's approach to home rule is the attempt to blunt home rule by invoking state law and on at least one occasion actually securing the state law to limit the scope of the city's legal authority he gave the example of the law department backing the mayor and giving back decades of city authority over taxi cab medallions how can giving up city regulations of its streets and transportation possibly serve the city in the long term and if the city had for decades considered the issuance of taxi medallions a matter of local control how could the law department at least not have tried to defend the city's authority there again i'm not familiar with the facts and and the background of that particular matter i can only say that i don't believe that we should the law department should be taking action or making arguments that would diminish the city's power and prerogatives okay many of uh the questions that i think members have and that the body has have concerned the independence of the law department from the mayor how can you assure the city council just like the attorney general of the united states supposed to be independent from whoever the president is the corporation council's again supposed to act as the law for the entire city not just for the mayor of the city of new york how can you assure the city council and the public that the law department under your leadership will be neutral as the lawyers for the city as lawyers for the city when there are disputes between the legal positions of the mayor and non-mayoral city entities so my client i think we began this with my client is the city it's not the mayor by himself and it's not the council by itself it's the city and my strong preference is that we work these things out i do not i it's a always a struggle to balance the legitimate competing interests of all of your clients when we have you know the mayor the council sometimes the comptroller sometimes borough presidents there's a lot of interest to balance and i want the law department to be the neutral to to try to balance those interests and be the the person that or the entity that tries to find a solution that is in the bet that ultimately we can say is in the best interest of the city meets the interests of um everyone is that going to be possible 100 percent of the time i probably not but we need to try and i think the law department would be a good neutral in those situations i think this the referendum that made this position subject to advice and consent adds to the credibility of the law department and their ability to do that so i for one think it's a good thing okay how can you assure us that what happened with the law department during the giuliani years will not happen under your watch one specific example that i mentioned in my opening statement that i'd like you to address was when the corporation council stood next to then mayor giuliani and said that he had the right to stop duly appropriated funds from flowing to the brooklyn museum because he found their art offensive this was contrary to the position taken by the brooklyn borough president the city council speaker the public advocate the city's sigs a former corporation council who represented the city's cultural groups and virtually every first amendment expert in the city of new york it also ended up being contrary to position of the federal courts to quote victor covner former corporation council i'm sure you know he gave this quote before the 2019 charter revision commission on the lar on the law department's position in that case he said quote i have to say it was not the finest moment for the law department how do we ensure that the law department does not in the future take a legally infirm position that is adverse to every involved city official other than the mayor because the mayor wants the law department and the corporation council to take that position i have to agree with victor kovner it was not the law department's finest hour what i can say to you forward going that my commitment as a lawyer and a lawyer for the city for over 30 years has been to the rule of law and we look at the law and we apply it evenly and with the weight of precedent and and the arguments that uh are in the best interest of our clients i have a commitment to the rule of law and um just a final uh a question on this and then i'll turn it back to the chair and can you can you really uh just say to us um you know steadfastly that the council speaker and the public advocate should uh have been prohibited from filing their amicus brief in the brooklyn museum case if michael hess had been asked and denied permission because without his permission they had no right to be heard what i'm saying is to get back to that earlier point that i made the then city council speaker and the then public advocate uh wanted to file an amicus brief and they were denied the ability to do so do you think that that is appropriate i would go have to go back and see the purpose of the brief if they were arguing that there is some impact on the scope of their authority and powers certainly you should the council and the speaker the speaker and the public advocate i'm sorry should have been given amica status again it it really depends on what the what the goal and the what's being challenged in the substance it's hard to sort of do it in the vacuum but if it goes to the powers and the scope of your authority as in as public officials i i would say yes you get to file it so the the the council ended up filing the brief uh and i believe the corporation council's office was not in favor of the council doing that again it showed that conflict between the law department uh you know taking into consideration other non-mayoral entities uh being able to have their voices heard on a very important and public matter i really appreciate you being here today i really want to um thank you for your decades of service to the city of new york i think your nomination is exciting and i'm grateful to everything that you've done i do think that again there have been many instances not just many years ago but even in recent years of the staff of the law department some staff at the law department i think not really working with the council well some staff has worked really well with us and other staff uh treats us as an afterthought does not give us proper time consideration when legal issues are arising related to the city council uh giving us just a few hours notice to get in very serious uh legal documents that are necessary not informing us when there is potential litigation or there is not potential when there's actual litigation against the council member or the city council i would like to change that i would like to you know improve the relationship between the law department and the council for the future institutionally i think it's important both for the law department and for the city council to have a working relationship where it doesn't seem where it doesn't feel like for whoever the speaker is or whoever individual council members are whoever the lawyers are that work here at the city council the city council is an afterthought that the you know that ultimately uh notice gets sent to the mayor what we're told often is oh sorry we didn't tell you that we told the mayor's office we thought they were going to tell you that is not the response but that's what we hear quite often i definitely agree with you that this is a relationship that could use some building i and either the staff of the divisions that most commonly work with the council the administrative and regulatory litigation division that works on defending a lot of your cases as well as legal counsel i know work closely with the agency the lawyers in other divisions that aren't so used to the relationship they need to be trained up and recognize that the council is a is also our client and an important one and we can work on that i also with your permission would like to speak with your staff more about the particular instances that you raised so that we can um understand um and and they we could both understand what happened there that would be great i would appreciate that thank you for being here today i want to turn it back to you madam chair thank you very much thank you i'd now like to recognize our minority leader steve matteo thank you madam chair good morning and welcome thank you um i have some questions for you so given the definition of associated persons in the conflicts of interest law do you agree that you're associated with the senior attorney at the law department yes i am and how are you associated with the person we live together i'm sorry we live together um have you ever recruited yourself from any invol matter involving this person person's employment in 2015 when you first became assistant corporation council i have been 25th no when i became a when i came onto the executive staff in 2013 i recused myself from all well all matters that he works on so you said in 2013 you said 2013 is when i got onto the executive staff and that's when the supervisory relationship at least theoretically started so how was that done was it written documentation was assigned by a supervisor it was done by me telling michael cardoza who is the corporation counsel at the time who had promoted me he was aware of the relationship but then we set up a system where at that point uh the division that he works in was overseen by a different executive len kerner so there was it would not have come up later on when that division uh and i can't remember might have been 2015 2016 came under me when len left then we set up a firewall basically a recusal that any matter that he works on goes to um the managing attorney uh muriel good true font so i don't even know when they're communicating it just happens so there was a process set up but was it written was there documentation or signed by anybody it was not written no okay so what about in 2019 or 2021 when you became acting co-op counselor it's been the same process he continues to when he need when executive staff eyes are needed on something he's working on he goes to muriel so you consulted um the law department at this council would that be fair to say uh no we did not it was we just continued the same practice that we had initiated back in 2015 that practice continued so did you consult coib at all uh we consulted koi recently and the the advice they gave was to you know as long as we kept in place the system that we put in place it was okay so when did you get that um answer from koi was that written yes that was friday friday why didn't you um get that back in 2019 or 2021 honestly it didn't occur to me to ask for that advisory opinion it was the process that we had put in place years earlier and it just continued should i have been more vigilant yes so um you said you received it last friday i got it on friday yeah and when did you contact them or request uh friday you have the same day yeah now i'm thinking was it thursday or friday it was thursday or friday but yesterday we sent them the letter and then they sent it back late that night and that's you have that in writing yes okay um did you ever ever supervise or make supervisory decisions regarding employment um including firing hiring promotion emotions salary discipline no um what about supervise any litigation matters from 2013 to the president no meetings about litigation matters um from 2013 to the president not that i recall okay so switching gears in 2019 um did you have a conversation with mayor de blasio about your interest in serving as corp council in 2019 after zack announced that he was retiring we had conversations i'm sorry i i couldn't hear you i'm sorry uh it's just like the mask and everything um in 2019 after zach said that he was going to retire the mayor and i did speak about my interests in remaining at the law department what i wanted to do what i wanted to do next after i left the law department we had a a conversation of that nature um so you know we had some pre-hearing questions that the committee sent you in advance uh being asked whether you were offered the position of corp council um no i was not no i'm sorry no what i know i was not offered the position before now okay but you had a conversation about it we we did talk about the position yes um just why didn't you disclose the conversation then in the pre-council hearing uh pre-council questions i can't why didn't you disclose the conversation in the pre-council question the pre-council question was whether i had ever been offered the position and i have not been offered the position okay so just clear but you had the conversation we talked about i mean it was a couple of like freewheeling conversations okay uh for me just just circling back so going back to the koi bishou in retrospect would you have done it differently in escort for formal opinion or letter uh when you first um you know had that supervisory position and then later when you became acting corp counsel would you have done would you have done this differently yes and and requested i would have requested the letters earlier yes okay okay thank you thank you chair the council has experienced a number of issues with the law department related to basic client services which the speaker alluded to before if confirmed do you commit to create a new mandatory training or to refine existing programs on the following topics and please answer after i ask about each one will you add training for law department attorneys i left my glasses home instructing them to inform the appropriate city council attorneys that an action has been filed in which a newly enacted city law is challenged or a council member the council or a council staffer is named as a party in their official capacity uh yes we do currently have a system when a council law is challenged we notify the chief of our legal counsel division stephen lewis and he alerts the council and and links up the lawyers that are going to work together from the council and our office with respect to notifying counsel that a member of the council has been sued in their official capacity we usually find out from the council member but we can close that loop and make sure that council legal staff is also aware but we can add that to training if that's a question about adding it to training yes will you add training for law department attorneys instructing them to promptly send all things all filings in city council cases to the appropriate city council attorneys i think we can do that for the council because you're not sued all that often so we can arrange that and thankfully not would um and that we can we can do that if they want to see every piece of paper sometimes they don't whatever they want on on the litigation would be fine okay i mean i've been here 22 years in a in capacity and i have never had to deal with the corporation council but i don't even know anybody that is in the corporation council it's like everybody keeps to themselves and isn't a part of the rest of our lawyers primarily work with your lawyers um occasionally we we meet with the council members themselves but it's really mostly lawyer to lawyer will you wear training for law department attorneys instructing them to send any letter or stipulation to the appropriate city council attorneys before sending it or filing it with the court i i will instruct our lawyers and train them that they should have conversations with city council legal staff to find out how much they want us to send them sometimes it's just a lot that's not really relevant or useful but if they want to see it that's fine so that we can we can ensure that there's that conversation that happens up front on the case will you wear training for law department attorneys instructing them to provide draft drafts of briefs to the appropriate city council attorneys for comments at least the three business days before they are due with the exception of reply briefs uh that's hard our attorneys and are usually when it's a case of substance that's important to the council our attorneys are generally working closely drafting and and preparing the arguments together so the arguments in the briefs are not going to be a surprise but three business days before they're due i just you know don't think that that is something that i can commit that we would always be able to do timelines and and pressure of work uh sometimes doesn't allow for the three days but i can say we would give you as much time as we possibly can i mean i would say with the thousand attorneys working for corporation council three days doesn't seem so hard well sometimes you only have five days all together and we have eighty thousand cases will you air training for junior lord department attorneys to describe the basic functions and structure of city government including that the city council is the legislative branch of government and is co-equal to the mayor we have a terrific training program on the structure of city government that is presented at least once a year uh we can look at it and see if it needs freshening but we've we've been developed delivering that training at least annually for a long time now okay thank you i'm going to open it up now to my colleagues councilmember powers thank you thank you chair and thank you for being here today congratulations on your nomination um just a few questions one is i want to follow up with a question the speaker had which was about the role of the council filing amicus briefs and also i think your response had noted perhaps there were instances where an individual accounts member might you might think that was a reasonable reasonable for an individual council member to file an alex's brief being that they're not representing the agency or the body here they're representing themselves and their community i just want to clarify that since it's an issue that's come up in the past and this council and in previous councils which is the role of individual council members i just want to i just wanted to maybe you could restate your opinion just so i could hear that again on what the individual role or what the role or where you think atmospheres from either the city council or from individual members would be appropriate so for individual members um i would say that or have said that if they want to submit an amicus brief for or against a position that's advanced by the city in litigation we would just like any party book you know both parties get to decide whether they're going to tell the court no don't take it but it would be evaluated as um a proposal to submit amicus like anybody else so do you have something useful to say that the court should hear and will it delay the proceedings so is it gonna yeah are you gonna say i need two weeks to submit the amicus brief that could delay things and it might be uh well if you can do it in one week but my my view is that that is a different situation than the council as a body so so a conflict where the council member the council as a body wanted to file and decide to file an amateur's brief on an issue that we feel is important the mayor and and has a disagreement or that or it's even in conflict direct conflict with or challenging a decision of the executive that would you would find that to be a conflict between them if it went to yes if it if it was a dispute or a disagreement with the administration that went to the powers of the council then we would authorize you the council depending we might we might take the council side against the mayor that that's possible too we and then the other side would be authorized to get uh retained outside council are there instances in your i think 33 year career where the law department has sided with the council against the mayor um yeah i most of my 33 years it wasn't on the executive staff so what um in the last uh let's say eight or nine years i can't really think of any the the there's not a lot of mayor versus council cases in that time period either sure i think the speaker's questions earlier though we're trying to make a point that it often feels like we are left to and unless sort of left in conflict at moments where or left to the you know the law department sides of the mayor on these instances where there might be a potent there's a conflict um just moving on though um we had recently seen a number of affirmative cases at the state level for instance with the opioids uh the good crisis where there was you know huge settlements and i i was just in light of that i was thinking about that earlier and thinking are there are there areas where you think the city would benefit from taking affirmative litigation when do you think that's important and practical um the city has does take a lot of affirmative litigation and we created um a small unit called the impact litigation unit a few years ago that is dedicated to bringing well for a long time we were dedicated to bringing cases um challenging some trump administration initiatives um one of the cases or two of the cases that we brought are against the opioid manufacturers and distributors and we're part of the settlements that were announced the amounts aren't calculated yet because it it's complicated allocation formula so we did we are involved in that and we are also have been exploring more cases under the city's consumer protection law because that's a that's a valuable tool so yes that is something that we are very interested in doing and if the council has ideas on more litigation we could bring love to hear them got it and what do you feel is the most important part of your office you've been there for a long time i'm assuming you've worked in different parts of the office what do you feel is the most important function of the law department i i think i i got to this a little bit in the in the in the discussion with the speaker that i think we could be an honest broker sometimes and that because we have so many clients with different uh powers and authorities and interests that if we can uh convince you all that we are indeed a neutral i think that that is a a role that we can play in helping to achieve consensus and and figure out a way forward for the city in some areas that and maybe people have disagreements on so i think that is a very important role and i would love to play it more got it i'll just ask two more questions out of respect for my colleagues time just settling claims against the city can you just give us some sense of your approach to that i think that different administrations have a different approaches to that giuliani versus bloomberg and so forth and so on is there a particular approach or the the the charter gives the authority to settle cases for money the money cases to the law department the corporation council and the controller together so we are litigating the case and at some point realize sometimes early sometimes late that this is a really a settlement is in the best interest of the city and we go to the comptroller's office with our proposal as to how the case ought to be settled that relationship actually works well um and there's always a respectful give and take on the amounts in and negotiation of it so i don't think that i would change that at all okay and my just my final question are there areas that you see right now where you would think about expanding the power or changing the power role or or doing something different than your predecessors when it comes to this role and how it functions how it works well from the discussions that that the speaker and raised i think that there is some repairs that need to be made to the relationship and and uh restoration of our credibility and and uh sends to give you all a better sense that we are your lawyers too we take that role very seriously and i thought um and i think that the maybe the lawyers on the ground feel that more um but i think that that is an important it would be important for me to invest time in that okay thank you for taking time and i'll hand it back to the chair thanks to your confidence thank you thank you chair um congratulations for your the nomination and i think looking at your you know resume is a very impressive record especially of your um work in the court council uh in the law department um my question is that following what uh your conversation with our speaker i mean we do look forward to sort of really working more closely together between the city council and the law department because of our legislative role and one of the things that i wanted to ask is that how many staff are are there a number of staff that are dedicated uh to work with the council on our legislation because one of the concern i have is that frustration is that oftentimes everything waits till the last minute you know the legislation that we're working on and then like we have to um what's that call with the late uh the final negotiation laid on the table the deaths and it's like always last minute and like i remember there were legislation that i had to wait stayed up until past midnight to get it finally you know settle so i guess my question to you is that since what you said it earlier i mean the corp council is the chief you know legal officer for the whole city and council is part of the city and so i hope to see that closer working relationship that will help facilitate you know passage of law that are important to our constituents our city that we really work closely on that and not like have the frustration and everything waiting till the the last minute so i'm asking to see if you can make a commitment to really working closely with council legal staff and to make sure that we get legislation done on time i know that we there are a lot of issues that have to be you know dealt with make sure that it's you know that we don't get sued on it or all those issue that comes up but in terms of timing wise there's got to be a better way of dealing with it thank you council member chin i totally agree there's got to be a better way to deal with it we have a legal council division that is a little over maybe between 20 and 25 lawyers when they're fully staffed and they share your frustration that things come at the last minute and sometimes there's a lot of things that need to be worked out and there's an aging deadline and everybody's frustrated and talking past each other so i we would love to work out a better way that where there is um longer lead time before sort of okay this is what's going to age um and the legal staff of our office and and council work together to take care of any problems and consult with the council members um so that it's not a mad question nobody is up until midnight or past midnight uh hoping that it gets done so yes we need to figure out a better way so i i guess you will make that commitment under your leadership that this will definitely improve right i'll do my part i hope the council does their part how's that well we're looking forward to improving that working relationship thank you thank you chair council member adams thank you madam chair good afternoon good afternoon miss vassar it's very nice to see you in person it's good to see you too and congratulations on your nomination we're so happy to have you um give your testimony here um to this body today along the same lines as my colleagues have asked i just have two questions for you the first one has to do with you being the leader of the entire law department and of course we know that change with change always comes a little bit of resistance so with your commitment to making your non-mayoral clients more balanced when it comes to the law department how much resistance do you foresee within the department of making that become a reality i don't foresee your resistance i i think that the lawyers at the law department are like me that they really are there because they want to do the best for the city and um and they really do think of their client as the city and not so much the mayor or the council or the borough president but it's okay what is it for the city so i don't expect resistance i think it's uh partly and i'm sorry i don't remember who raised it for anything probably the speaker making sure that the conversation is ongoing and that the voices of the council are included and heard particularly on initiate initiatives that are important um okay thank you and my last question has to do with your pre-hearing response to question nine and the question was if there is a dispute regarding a litigation tactic or suggested revisions to a brief to be filed on behalf of the city council a city council member or any other non-mayoral city entity between the relevant city attorneys on behalf of the agency and the assistant corporation council handling or i'm sorry and the assistant corporation councils handling the case how do you think such a dispute should be resolved and your response was was a little vague i would like for you to ex expound on your thought a little bit with regard to the answer to that question you state that you try very hard to resolve disagreements through thoughtful and respectful discussion and can usually come up with a satisfactory path forward but i'd like for you to expand on that thought a little bit more so it begins at the staff level the attorney's handling the matter and the accounts and the counsel at the council's staff trying to work out the the differences and the disagreements and slowly it rises up i guess in both uh at both the council and at the law department and ultimately it would co if no agreement could be reached ultimately it would come to me and as the chief legal officer i would be called upon to make the decision as to which way we would go but i you know have to take into account the concerns of my clients because as i said before the client knows the operations and what is most important to them so it's important to listen and and try to address the concerns as best we can before we we take the step forward but ultimately it is the obligation of the corporation council to make the decision okay thank you i think i just extracted what i needed to hear is that you would take the lead on that um oh yeah yeah yeah which i didn't see here so thank you very much for your testimony today thank you thank you chair councilmember rose thank you chair and i too want to offer my congratulations on your nomination thank you i have um some sort of process questions um is there are there a backlog of cases that the law department has and how long does it take for a case to actually get litigated like from the time is filed until the time of settlement so that not every case is the same and we all know that this past year has been a little strange so the courts weren't not moving as quickly so we'll we'll pay for that in the in the coming years but in the ordinary times in state court it's not unusual for a case to be five eight ten years old before it comes to conclusion in the federal courts it moves much faster usually you know two years three maybe to the conclusion and that and by the conclusion i mean that's a case that's fully litigated not necessarily settled earlier settlements is some if we see a case that needs to be settled or we decide settlement is the right result here we try to do that as early as possible to avoid um you know delay in spinning wheels and a growing growing backlog is there anything that you can do internally to expedite that these cases so that it doesn't that that time frame can be reduced it it's is it a matter of staffing is it a matter of you know it's it's i think a few different things and and you know if one thing that did come out of the pandemic is that we started meeting regularly with um the chief the deputy chief administrative judge in new york to come up with a a mediation program that might fast-track the resolution of some cases so you know we had since the courts weren't fully operational they were operational for the entire time but not people couldn't come in that was a productive thing for us to work on with them so we need to partner more with the court system to find things like that that would help eliminate some of the delays and um in terms of uh of lawsuits that are filed against the city um by a sort of repeat multiple lawsuits that we've you've had to litigate against the same person i'm speaking primarily about police officers that come before you that have had multiple lawsuits is there some sort of process that uh that they're looked at and so that the city isn't you know constantly you know being held held liable for the actions of repeat um police officers who find themselves you know being sued yes um we have a risk management unit that is that looks at things like that looks to see if there are repeat defendants um or even patterns that are arising in particular precincts or something like that and we have weekly that risk unit meets weekly with the nypd's risk unit and flags these individuals as well as any trends that we see from the incoming cases to the police department and they have an early intervention unit that also sort of digs deeper to see sort of we just have the piece that involves litigation they have they have access to more and can dig a little deeper and see what's going on there and and try to take some action um and my last question um could you just tell me what your feelings are about qualified immunity and in the law department it's hard to answer a question like that in in the abstract qualified immunity is not um i mean i think is a little bit misunderstood and in terms of how useful it is in in a typical uh police success support case it's rarely granted so i i just don't can't answer that in the abstract i'm sorry okay well thank you so much thank you councilmember lander thank you very much uh chair koslowitz and i just want to thank you uh for this hearing at all and i want to uh praise both the speaker and the members of the council staff who made sure that this got on the 2019 charter revision commission i think being able to do advice and consent with corporation council is a really good step forward for the council and for the city so thanks to you and to the council and the team and and the speaker mr stan it's great to see you here this morning congratulations on your nomination obviously the law department is a place of great esteem uh you know i'd count myself fortunate to have learned from uh for schwartz and victor covner and zach and jim johnson so it's uh and i just whatever it's just even listing them it's all men it's great to have your nomination and as you say it's great to see someone who's really spent their whole career working you know in the city legal position so um congratulations i'm enthusiastic about your nomination it seems to me there's sort of two different uh maybe kinds of issues at stake here one is are you appropriate to lead the law department about which to me it's pretty open and shut question that you're you know qualified and have the integrity and wisdom and experience to lead the law department and that's kind of our you know the main part of our advice and consent function then there are these questions about how to understand the relationship and role on which we might have some disagreements and you know i have enormous esteem for fritz and victor and jim and uh and zach but i've agreed with disagreed with some of them on these issues so that's a somewhat separate question so i'm going to continue asking a couple of these questions about the role uh but just so you know from my point of view they really are not questions about your qualifications to lead the department so i'm looking forward to voting yes on your nomination even if we don't agree on a few of the matters of sort of how to understand the role and um in some individual cases um thank you and i i guess i will say it it seems to me i mean i appreciate everything you've said about working hard to bring parties together and trying hard to represent the city and i have no doubt you will do that it does also seem to me just realistically any corporation council who's been nominated by the mayor who's working very closely with the mayor who you know when the city is sued it's generally the mayor's name on the brief you know is is going to have a a leaning toward the mayor's point of view and i don't even really have a problem with that it just seems realistic to me to understand that when different parties within the city might have legitimate different points of view we need some way of kind of figuring out how to resolve that and i really like that the first instinct will be all right let's try to get people together and let's bring lawyers to the table and see if we can't resolve it but sometimes politics makes that uh impossible or at least extra challenging and that's okay i mean these are there's a legal point of view for the city and then it's a political we elect these offices independently and so they may have a different judgment i guess that does on something like um the situation of the amicus brief make me wonder why the the simpler answer isn't to say okay first i'm going to try hard to bring people to the table to show why the legal matters reflect a common position to explain why it would be better if the mayor and the council shared the point of view but if at the end of the day in a lawsuit the council let's say by resolution i hear that you say it's different for an individual member but let's say the council feels strongly on a particular suit the city is being sued or there's some point of view you know i don't want to use a particular lawsuit because then we'll wind up in a situation but it's you know like the one that that occasioned the most recent disagreement um and the council by resolution says you know we authorize an amicus brief because we have a different point of view than the than the mayor does and you tried to bring people together uh expressed why from a legal point of view it would be better but but if politically ultimately the council were by resolution to say we have a different point of view um i guess there's two questions here because it seems to me it's reasonable for the corporation council on that case to say we are going to represent the mayor's point of view as the city's point of view it's the mayor's name who's named on the lawsuit let's say and so um but it just seems to me it would then be more straightforward to say okay because there couldn't be resolution here we deem it appropriate for the council to go ahead and and proceed and give a little leeway to do it and it feels to me like that would almost make you a more trusted broker of the city's legal position with an understanding that sometimes politics will make it hard for parties to all come together around it yeah i i do find it hard to discuss these things in the abstract um my my strong feeling is that because we are putting in a brief or a position on behalf of the city and not the mayor's position although where it's informed by the mayor's position but should be informed by the position of the other branches of government that i would be hard-pressed at that point and there could be a situation where i thought you know the council's there's something unique about the council's role or council's view that the court should hear it i will leave open that possibility but i think for the most part i would i would um say that the law department has to take the position on behalf of the city having tried to be the honest broker in the room and gotten everybody's point of view and come to a legal position on behalf of the city it's that's that's the position that we put forward and we want that inclination i have to say i wouldn't be happier if you gave an answer which was okay the corporation council is the mayor's lawyer and everyone else should get their own that's not what the charter says it would not be the how the city was best served so the goal of bringing people together to represent the city's point of view i think is important and admirable and i'm glad it's your first set of instincts um and i'll actually just maybe say i think you've given useful advice to future councils so that when they see a need to do that they'll want to articulate a rationale for why the council's power or role is implicated and not just we have a different political point of view or a different legal point of view on this on this issue so i'm not going to push any further to me it seems like there just is a tension here that it's really understand you know it's worth being realistic about it is the job to be the city's lawyer i appreciate all the ways you've outlined that you plan to do that and then sometimes parties are going to make that impossible and in the cases of those conflicts it's understandable at least that the other parties are going to think that corporation council leans toward the mayor whether a corporation counsel actually does or or doesn't and this helps having advice and consent hearing is in the direction of having us all feel that way um but you know it's that's just a political political reality so i i think it's anyway i appreciate your answer i'll take that advice under advisement in the future if it ever becomes necessary and that you're leaving some room open for that possibility and that you'll consider it even while you have the strong inclination to try to bring people together around a shared uncommon position in that vein you know i had the experience a very positive experience around what became known as the dangerous vehicle abatement program law of actually being able to work together with both council attorneys from the office of the general counsel and attorneys from the law department uh as well as department of transportation and the sheriff and agencies that was a situation where everyone had a shared goal of doing something more about the city's most reckless drivers there were real legal issues about how we could do that in a way that we would feel confident would withstand core challenge and would be appropriate and there was a willingness to all sit down together in a way that i think is not reasonable or practical for every bill that the council is pursuing i think our normal process will proceed at the volume we're doing it but in that case there was a willingness on the part of the council's attorneys um uh the speaker's office our office the agencies and the law department and it really produced an excellent process in which we reached something that there was a full agreement on uh on moving through and that passed and the mayor signed it so i don't know if you've seen opportunities like that you know to to find ways to work to you know to kind of you know in the ways that the speaker and others have talked about here to um take steps forward that enable us to work together in productive ways i i think that that's a beautiful example of how we want to work with the council going forward and i do think you're right it's not necessary in every bill some things are straightforward but i do think that something like that would address the issue that council member chin raised that sometimes it's a mad scramble at the end had there been sort of the conversation when they're when there are um when it's a complicated bill and and we all know where we want to get to but there's dispute or or disc or trouble in figuring out the best legal way to get there i think that that would uh would be an excellent tool that the example that you you've provided um for for eliminating some of the problems that that council member chin was alluding to um in terms of the aging deadline is coming in we've got a mess on our hands um thank you and i yeah i found that process very instructive so like the chair i hadn't on the one hand i i have the good fortune to have known some corporation councils but i haven't that directly myself worked with law department attorneys in the job because we work with the attorneys here and that was um you know helped a lot on that particular bill but also helped illuminate for me the broader the broader process um it's my last question um sort of builds on that but also brings in council member powers questions about um claim settlements in which case there's the you know this particular role for the office of the comptroller in that situation as i understand it you know there had been some prior not disputes but less alignment around kind of getting to shared point of view and the comptroller the current comptroller hired some new staff uh to help advise him who had experience in claim settlement and that that actually then sort of helped at least as the story has been told to me um you know the the different sets of people have good dialogue and i think there is a challenge whether it's for council members or for other comptroller borough president other office holders where on the one hand the corporation council is our lawyer and we want to work together and take that advice and on the other hand for understandable reasons we hire our own attorneys to give us advice on our own points of view and that would be that's obviously true there's a great staff of lawyers at the city council who advise us um it's true for the comptroller and the claims uh function or other functions um so you know i guess how would you encourage uh other you know elected officials other than the mayor who are going to be engaging legal counsel to help advise them in the functioning of their duties to think about that role what they're looking for what kind of advice we want and then how to um you know you know that sets up then there's going to be two sets of lawyers so maybe they'll agree sometimes so maybe they won't agree sometimes and how should how you know how would you encourage us to to proceed in uh in hiring people for those positions and then approaching the challenge of sort of reaching a common point of view yeah i'm pretty sure that there's lots of lawyer jokes about lawyers and ability to reach an agreement on most things but the i what's most important for i think the lawyers at at any of the elected's offices as well as at our agencies is a willingness to collaborate and have a a an exchange of ideas i found that the legal staff at the council and at um the comptroller's office and other uh elected officials offices are really thoughtful top-notch and have good uh contributions to make and are very valuable to get in on the ground floor when we're talking about these things so that about complicated issues or trying to resolve how do we get to the goal here um so collaboration and a willingness to hear and work with other lawyers and not uh you know i know best uh kind of attitude uh is is really what i look for all right i appreciate that i think it's a good you know to me it's all these things are true we we we've got independently elected of elected officials that's good for having a wide diversity of representation they need good advice uh and thoughtful approach and people who can advise them and then of course we want to try our best on behalf of the city that we all uh have the sacred duty to represent to try to figure out how to collaborate as much as we possibly can and get to that common position so um thank you for answering our questions today um i have no doubt you'll be a an outstanding corporation council i have no doubt there actually will be some times we disagree uh on matters and that the the thing that this will help us do is navigate that productively um and as much as we can in the best interest of the city so thank you very much good luck to you thank you good luck to you thank you and thank you to the chair and my colleagues thank you since there are no other people from the public that signed up to testify or ask questions we want to thank you miss pastana and everyone who participated in

variety of backgrounds welcome back to modern education my guest today is calling in his name's Paul mailing he has been a professional musician for almost 30 years Paul is the founder and lead guitarist of the Hot Club of San Francisco a group dedicated to performing and recording gypsy swing music they have multiple CDs available on iTunes and have appeared on at festivals throughout the world dedicated to Django Reinhardt and other jazz musicians Paul is an accomplished multi-instrumentalist and when he's not performing and recording with the hot Club of SF Paul is a contributing staff writer for frets and flatpicking guitar magazines he's been awarded a citation for excellence by the International Association for jazz education I want to get Paul here on the line and we will get started Paul are you there with me hello to radio and yeah so Paul I understand you were born in Denver but you grew up right here in Silicon Valley and went to high school in Santa Cruz all right yeah I like the high school in Pleasanton and Santa Cruz so yeah I'm your boy Oh excellent excellent and what are you doing with your time these days what are you doing with your time these days well I spend most of my time practicing the guitar and the violin which I didn't do when I was young man so now I have to do it it's better late than never oh absolutely that's great so you're playing guitar and mandolin and I know you're part of a local or a internationally recognized band but you guys are stationed locally and you do a lot of work so you've been playing gypsy jazz in the style of django reinhardt for quite a few years could you give the audience a tour of how you became interested in this lifelong pursuit for you well you know that's a good question it's going to take a little bit of time to answer but since you asked I spent the first 30 years of my professional life just playing gigs you know playing corporate gigs and any anything that would pay the bills and towards the end of that first 30 years I got have slept with my hero Dan Hicks who had a band called antics in the hotlink at which he had broken up and started a different band which I was part of called the acoustic warriors the title is was warriors because you got to be a warrior to play an acoustic instrument you know you can't just be a softy oh yeah I played with Dan for almost five years and we did a bunch of stuff including Austin City Limits which was great that was like you know the highlight in my life but it became clear to me for various reasons that Dan wasn't gonna make a record and that I needed to move on even though you know this was like the tentacle of my life I thought Dan Hicks enough and the hot licks was the greatest band ever because it was a thick thick string jazz and it sounded like Django Reinhardt music which is extreme jazz you know and so I was writing tunes for Dan and we would play Django Tunes and I noticed whenever we did this that audiences would kind of go crazy they really seemed to like acoustic string jazz even when Dan was not singing so long story short dan said to me I think you should start your own band and that's how the hot club in San Francisco was founded it's a it's a complete homage to Jango's band a hot club of France and it's supposed to be a funny title the hot Club of San Francisco it's a cumbersome name for a band but it tells the whole story to those who know about jangle a heart oh what a great story yeah yeah so it sounds like you had a real mentor there who not only helped you develop your sound but also kicked you out of the nest and sent you on your way to do bigger and better things exactly you know like a good mentorship oh absolutely now this is a lifelong pursuit for you and something that's always amazed me is the transformative effect of gaining mastery in anything seems to change the way we see the world and the way we see ourselves is there an aspect of your experience on the path to gaining master you can share that personally or as a teacher that's been transformative for you well you know they say that when the student is ready the teacher will appear and I had to get myself over to France in my 20s I was looking for ways to learn how to play django style guitar to play gypsy jazz there was nobody in America doing it there was a couple of guys down in Southern California one of which you may have heard of by the name of John Jorgenson and his buddy Ron Reynoso they were actually playing django 2 style guitars in disneyland and we all kind of traded LPS and cassettes through the mail but none of us was really mailing it you know so I got over to France to try to find some gypsies in the early 80s and I didn't really find gypsies but I made a bunch of cassette recordings of some guys that I was telling I was actually playing violin with them but I was spying on their guitar technique and so I learned how to do this I came back home and transcribed the cassettes that I had made you know and really sort of reverse-engineered the style of music and at that time I also saw other people doing it playing like jingle we you know Django had a handicapped left hand but the listeners out there that don't know tango had a mangled just horribly disfigured left hand so he played guitar basically with two fingers and nobody ever really played like him afterwards and we all thought it was because of the handicapped hand or because Django was a gypsy or because it was just some kind of gypsy magic well when I saw people doing it in France in the 80s I thought well hell it's it's doable I could do it I could learn how to do this so I slowly slowly slowly learned how to do it and and get this so this is this is to answer your question about the teacher showing up there was almost nobody for me to learn from and so I thought I should make instructional DVDs for guys like you who want to learn how to do it and so I put out a couple in the 80s on homespun tapes and because of that PBS did a short little thing on me and they dubbed me they nicknamed me The Godfather of gypsy jazz in America because of the the instructional DVDs at the time they were video cassettes but because I had sort of went with a bunch of seeds and encouraged I won't say I caught but I encouraged a lot of people to try this style then there was this crave and and my videos were only a small part of the worldwide craze for Django I think it was the beginning of the internet and everybody just started planning out about Django and all of a sudden here's music was in more movies you know Woody Allen and people like him have always used angle and their soundtracks and then after this craze started in the late eighties boom everybody started playing like Django and buying the guitars and wanting to play and this movement that I took maybe that I can take a little bit of credit for maybe 2% credit for helping create this worldwide fascination with Django that movement kind of passed me by and all these young guys came along but way better playing guitar then I was and that kicked my butt and I had to get myself into the woodshed and get better so in a way my teaching helped all these young guys learn and find other ways to learn they're playing has taught me to be a better player so I'm I'm literally you know the expression hoist on your own petard a petard is like a little cannon and when you fire it and it backfires and kicks back at you that's when you're hoist on your own petard and that that's what happened to me Wow yes it sounds like you are really describing a reciprocal learning opportunity where you put out what you know into the world and people took it adapted it and proved it and brought it back and then you found yourself having to up your game to keep up with the work that you had actually started exactly exactly that symbiotic relationship between the teacher in the student and I love it I love getting my gut ticked you know I I would prefer I would prefer to already have my technique in place and just be able to enjoy life but I spend four or five hours in the woodshed every day playing some instruments yeah absolutely well that's because you're a professional sir always right so when we're talking about I know you conduct music clinics and private private private music lessons and your staff teacher for the jazz masters workshop how long have you been doing this teaching off of video but with in-person with people you know as a teacher and my life um it's funny that that you mentioned the jazz masters thing because I actually know I should update the resume that you're looking at but now I teach it the new jazz conservatory in Berkeley which used to be called the jazz school the California jazz conservatory and in the fourth quarter they offer gypsy jazz class for people that want to sort of get familiar with the genre and I you know I love teaching teaching in the classroom I love teaching one and one on one in my home here in Oklahoma I just I don't know because I didn't have access for teachers to teach me gypsy jazz I really love teaching I don't know how to explain it that I know how to help people yeah at least and so people tell me that people tell me I'm a good teacher so I'm gonna brag I'm good teacher oh I'm sure you are I'm sure you are you know it's the the love for doing it that makes us good at it because we always want to get better and we never want to let our students down so we always bring something new and try to improve our singles so exactly yeah so along those lines I mean I know you spoke a little bit about how the videos have brought out your ideas into the world and then they came back new and improved and it's really helped you up your game but I'm curious about the actual the one-on-one teaching and the group teaching and how that has helped you towards mastery and what you take away from that opportunity to teach others well you know the relationship between a student and a teacher I have to I have to watch them and listen to them play and so we play together and I have to manage what I'm doing when I'm watching the students so that the student doesn't feel intimidated or any you know any pressure for me because you know for some people that's a hard thing to play in front of their teachers blah blah blah but once we get past that point I have to like do something to bring out the best in my students I can see how far they'd come and how far yet they have to go and you know I have to measure that and then teach them something during the lesson that they can immediately put to use and and you know sometimes when people don't have a teacher they acquire a bunch of knowledge but they don't know how to plug it in so my theory is you learn something and immediately start to implement it as soon as you can otherwise it's merely information and it's not practical knowledge so you know I learn a lot from students just by watching their resistances or their lack of confidence you know and I try to help them over those kinds of psychological hurdles and sometimes my own personal experience helps them you know if I tell them yeah I didn't use a metronome till I was thirty cuz like you I hate the metronome but once I hit thirty became you know like comfortable with a metronome it it really shortened my time in the woodshed and when I tell people that you know then they go okay I can relate to this guy he used to hate the metronome now he's giving me a good reason to use a metronome maybe I should just use a metronome and that's that one example that you know music is full of those kinds of learning opportunities yeah that's so good I'm thinking about what you just said about the power of immediate application and I think that's an important piece of learning that you just threw out for the audience here it's taking an idea and owning it immediately instead of taking an idea and waiting for the test in a few weeks and hoping that it sticks later on take it work with it do something show that you have grabbed ahold of that that's powerful even if it's you know the student can demonstrate the technique at a very slow tempo that's by you know the main thing is is that they understand the concept and their hands can execute it at some you know with some degree of ability it doesn't have to be perfect you know it doesn't have to be flashy or fast it just needs to be there you know and I don't know I really like teaching that way you know I think it's just very effective good results with that yeah that's great that's great yeah I've had the similar experience as a math and calculus tutor and all these other things and it really is amazing when you can see someone grab ahold of something that's new and challenging for them and do something powerful with it right in front of your eyes it's really inspiring as a teacher right yes so you know I'm thinking a little bit about your success and your your exposure in the world and playing in in Europe with the people who originally gypsy jazz and all this success I'm wondering doesn't usually come on its own so I'm wondering what type of mentorship or boosts you've gotten from people along the way and if you have any stories you could share about fortuitous moments where something really great came along because of somebody giving you a helping hand you know I've been really lucky that I have been embraced by the gypsy jazz community even though I'm still learning for instance for the listeners out there that know this genre one of the best living people descendents of Django Reinhardt is a guy named Borelli Legrand and I met Pirelli on several occasions and one time you know we were having dinner together and I said listen I really need to know how the Gypsy community feels about Americans appropriating their music because this is a typical American thing to do is to take somebody else's culture and steal it and and call it our own and I don't want to be doing that in this genre that was created by a gypsy you know and I'm not a gypsy so I really had the right to be playing gypsy jazz and Burleigh said no no no no we dig it we totally dig that you Americans admit because you're educating the audiences teaching them who Django is teaching them about this music and its history and culture and then when the real gypsies like me Pirelli says when the real gypsies come to America then you know there's more Americans that know who we are and we'll sell more tickets so it's a win-win for everybody you know I thought that was fantastic and then and then Borelli says to me hey did you say you had a guitar with you and I went yeah why anyway let's play whatever oh absolutely it's an honor to get to have that type of permission to access that that genre and you know you're really priming an entirely new audience for them to be able to bring their music into a different scene so I agree I think that's an amazing goal that's exactly why I started my band 30 years ago we're coming up on the 30 year anniversary next year and I started it just to teach people or to turn them on to Django Reinhardt it was literally a consciousness-raising experiment on my part having a band called the Hot Club of San Francisco and using the same instrumentation as the Hot Club of France which again for the listeners out there who don't know one of the things that made Django Reinhardt's music so distinctive and why this gypsy jazz is so distinctive as I mentioned earlier it's played only on the string instruments but it's very kinky in that you have two guitar players playing rhythm at the same time that take the place of a drum set so you have two people banging on a guitar in a rhythmic fashion in unison and then a string bass and then a violin and then an acoustic lead guitar and that's the whole band and as a teenage kid when I was growing up I was exposed to this music and when I see pictures of the band the Hot Club of France I thought man this is like a prototype for a rock band look at all these guitars these guys kind of look a little bit on the dangerous side like rock stars you know and I got so turned on by it as a little 11 and 12 year old you know and like I said then Dan Hicks and the hot licks came along and they were a contemporary group using the same instrumentation and I was like wow so yeah I didn't know that someday I'd be doing it myself but I'm glad I got bitten by the bug oh absolutely yeah I'm sure a lot of people are glad you got bitten by the bug because they get to enjoy your music I've been listening to it since we scheduled this interview and I think I'm hooked it's really fun and entertaining intricate yeah you have one more convert I believe so that's great so yeah please give us your website we just need to just yeah yeah please go ahead super easy it's hot club ss like hot club San Francisco except SS the initials H of T Co u b SS calm okay we have video check that out they can check out the videos you got downloads things like that that people can see I wanted to ask you about getting a break you know sometimes life just hands us a gold nugget when we least expect it because we're in the right place at the right time is there a moment you can think of where things just fell into place for you and helped you get to that next level when you least expected it or didn't know what was coming yeah yeah I've had a couple of those but but the best one was as I say I was just so enamored with antics and when he came back he you know he broke up the hot licks and disappeared for a few years and I was really sad The Beatles had broken up and then Dan Hicks in the hot licks broke up and I you know I was just really kind of lost musically and I threw my self headlong into traditional jazz like Louis Armstrong like Django Reinhardt Coleman Hawkins Sidney Bechet all those thirties and forties guys and they totally got into that kind of music and then I heard that Dan Hicks was on the comeback trail so I was practicing violin because I really wanted to play violin with Dan heck us practicing crazy like crazy like crazy and then a friend of mine playing violin in the band with Dan and he said hey our guitar players leaving I can't promise you anything but I can get you an audition and I thought this is net this is like the chance of a lifetime I'm going to get auditions for Dan Hickey even though it wasn't on the instrument that I wanted to play with him I'm a better guitar player than I am on ballad so it was the right thing I did the audition and I passed and got in you know and it totally I went from being like a smack town guy playing guitar for a living to being like a guy whose tour nationally and being on TV it was this huge huge change and I was ready sometimes you know opportunity knocks and you're not ready and you have to kind of stumble through it or maybe you just pass on it this was like one where I was in the right place at the right time and it worked and I'm here to tell you it was super great living through that period oh that's a great story you know the the Roman stoic philosopher Seneca said light luck is what happens when preparation meets opportunity and it seems like you had the preparation in place so that your opportunity could come together and that's beautiful when that happens yeah and I thank my lucky stars every day for that opportunity and some other cool opportunities yeah I'm curious Paul did you attend college junior college and I even studied improv and I was already a gigging musician at the time and I just thought between the stuff that they were teaching in this improv class which was a great class but it wasn't stuff that I wanted to learn and it wasn't when I considered practical stuff so I just thought you know what I'm gonna do this let's just do it so I quit college quit my day job and just started digging full-time because I got hooked up with some professional guys that were like in their seventies and eighties and I was still accepting you know so again I'm in the right place at the right time you know I got lucky but you know opportunity meets preparation right right well I don't think college really is for everybody and I think it's a problem in our country that college is represented as the only way to be successful and that really robs a lot of people of the chance to be able to follow their dreams like you've done and I'm glad we're able to highlight that for the audience that this is there's always a way to fulfill your dreams and a lot of times it's not through college although College can offer a lot of great things to a lot of people but it's not the only route so it's nice to be able to illustrate that for people one of the things that makes a good teacher is having an open mind to being a student or as we call it beginner's mind if you can if you can hold on to your beginner's mind then we can you're more effective as a teacher yeah you're better student yeah they say the worst thing for innovation is to call in an expert now I know you did some schooling in college and I'm sure you did you know grade schools and all that and I'm curious having the hindsight now being you know far removed from all of that what do you feel like you took away from you know traditional schooling and the grading system and all of that do you have any lasting memories or feelings that have endured all these years personally I was like an incorrigible kind of troublemaker kid I was really bright so I was really bored in public school and I had a lot of teachers who would seriously a lot more than three teachers in my elementary school years who would say to me you don't have to come to class just turn in your assignments and do what you want during the class time it's okay if you don't show up because you're too much trouble in the class so I had a lot of I had been given a lot of liberties and so that was kind of encouraging and I also had music teachers that really saw something in me and encouraged me even though like I said I was a bad student I was disruptive I didn't I often didn't do my assignments I often didn't you know learn what I was supposed to but I seriously maxed out on every learning opportunity that I had in my own way but if I had it to do all over again I would have played more by the rules I would have done my homework I would have you know learned how to write with like legible cursive handwriting I would have learned to read music really uncomfortably so that you know because at my age I still stumble when I read music and as I say I'm still in the woodshed practicing because I didn't practice my scales and arpeggios when I was a kid and so I even though you and other people may think I'm like a raging success story I still have a lot of humility and a lot of not regret not regret that I would encourage people out there listening to do what the teacher tells them if you want to play an instrument good a good teacher and do what they tell you to do yeah that's there's a lot of really good points you made there I mean the first thing I wanted to highlight is that this the way your teachers allowed you to take your wet own way through things I think that's rare in high school or in grade school for a teacher to recognize that in you and give you the chance and a lot of teachers out there may be able to benefit from hearing this and thinking about how many students in their class might be smart enough to do the work and capable enough to achieve but maybe don't want to follow the rules or sit through class and that's an important thing to think about you know yeah yeah what about drawbacks do you think traditional schooling can have drawbacks or take away from a person's ability to be creative and innovative like in a career yeah music or otherwise okay so exactly like I said I was in college studying improv and the teacher was a famous musician and you know it was a great class but I didn't like what he was teaching us so this is an example of where I think the what was being offered was was limiting because they were trying to shoehorn the musicians into playing bebop and learning bebop scales as if that was what jazz is all about and my understanding of jazz is that it's more melodic and more rhythmic and I think it's pre Bebop and so when I perform I have this other part of my brain in addition wanting to turn people on to music I also want to teach people teach people or give them the opportunity to learn that jazz is something that is easy to enjoy I think Americans think they don't like jazz because the jazz that they have heard have might have been off-putting and not understandable and not relatable and I think one of the things that's so great about gypsy jazz and certainly about early traditional jazz is that it's accessible it's people understand it it makes them want to tap their foot and they can hum along with the melodies as opposed to bebop which is a later more intellectual you know style of jazz I think you know for for people that are just getting to know jazz that can be really really off-putting as I say I can't think of a better word for just off-putting so I've had learning opportunities where it was limiting to me just because of the teachers worldview and that's you know that's one of the things that this makes life interesting sometimes you get a teacher that doesn't teach you what you want and you get to learn something new but I take it to the other extreme where when I'm teaching I explain to my students this is my personal belief system that this music is great and here's why and if you don't agree with me that's fine you can always find another teacher you know I like to be real up front with my students you know about where I'm coming from so that they don't feel that same square peg in a round hole feeling that I had you know when I was in the wrong class yeah your question yeah yeah and it's again it brought up a really great point as far as just any teacher in any field they it's it's a powerful technique or even a powerful way of being to just be authentic and say you know this is what I know this is what I like this is what I believe I don't think you need to be just like me I don't think you need to do it just I do but I should explain to you what I do and why I do it and then you can make the choice for yourself and it sounds like what that's what you're describing as your own approach to your students yes and being genuine you know I think that the magic word is being genuine right right yeah and people know when you're being real people know when you're when you're pulling their leg and it matters it destroys your credibility as a teacher and even maybe destroys your integrity as a person when you don't do that so it's an important piece of being able to bring that authentic self to a learning opportunity for someone else right so right yeah yeah this is all great stuff Paul thank you so much so I have a sort of funny question here I'm gonna shift gears a little bit for you but if you could leave just one voice message and that voice message was left there to tell the world about your life and a legacy for you could you record that voice message for us right now yeah you got a couple minutes on voicemail what are you gonna tell people to remember you for you have a few minutes take your time we're not running out of voicemail space please leave a message at the tone beep hi this is Paul mailing I play guitar in a style called gypsy jazz which was originated by a gypsy named Django Reinhardt it's a style of getting the maximum sound out of the instrument of an acoustic guitar that involves a radical rethinking of one's technique and when applied in context it's usually played for dance music from the 30s and 40s usually accompanied by another acoustic guitar a highly rhythmic and harmonic Lee simple yet deviously sophisticated music that is like most gypsy music is contrived to get the listener a visceral response and visceral means it should either hit you in the heart and make you feel melancholy or sadness or joy or it should hit you in the gut and take your breath away or at the very least it should hit you in the head and give you an intellectual responsive wow I never heard anybody play like that it's a little bit of something for everybody some hot and some sweet some melancholy and some bravado all of that on a simple acoustic guitar what I do alright that's amazing yeah so I wanted to ask you one more question that's similar about your your music and you have a lot of albums out I've been sort of browsing through them this week if you had one album that you could leave and all the other ones got lost in a fire or something happened to them digitally they all got wiped away what would be the one album that you would want to preserve and why Wow I'll give you three answers the first one is the least temple the best one will be the compilation record we're going to make for next year for our 30th anniversary the compilation is sort of like the best of but since that's not available I would be torn between my favorite record which was the hardest record to make and I waited all my life to make it was the one where we just covered Beatles tunes I've always loved the idea of you know playing point in a different genre with this instrumentation you know genre hopping it's like you know it's like Jim you're switching but the but then I think the first record we did which is called Q H CSS like quintet carbon San Francisco that's our very first record and it had like three original tunes and one Beatles tune and a tune by Chick Corea and three tunes by angle himself and it's just I'm so part of that record still 30 years later because we really nailed it right from the beginning you know we just got this we got it we got it all together and we pushed the envelope and I don't know it's hard to brag but I really still think that record holds up I'm super proud of it so that's that's the one I recommend the first one yeah it's something special about your first record the energy you put into it the amount of dedication you have to making sure that it turns out good as some special that'll never go away I'm sure yeah really like I said no other django bands out there in america and finding people to do it and you know the arrangements and which tunes to do and which ones to not do it just all came together honey there's a miracle yeah yeah and now it's preserved so it'll be there forever it kind of I think makes me think of the old old blues albums that were cut once on vinyl and some old backwoods shed somewhere and they've survived for all these years and been played over over and yeah yeah so it's safe to say you play primarily acoustic right yeah yeah yeah I mean sound reinforcement but I have a solid body electric guitar and I've played it maybe ten times in my life okay okay so we can safely say you are firmly in the acoustic camp right yes so now as the years have gone on and technology has become more prolific in learning and education and music especially what role has technology played in your experience as a performer and an artist technology for instance that started the band before the internet so before the internet came along there was very little information on gypsy jazz and particularly on Django right in the hot color France there was very little information so consequently the only way you get information was from LT records you know record jacket and they would often be in French because they were made in France so as a kid I took French classes mostly so I could translate the information on the album jackets for these Django Reinhardt records so technologically speaking the when the internet came along and everybody was finding out about Django see the internet it was great you know it was just like an explosion of interest and you know guitar makers that make these kinds of guitars when I got one of these guitars it was super impossible to find now you know you just open up your browser and Google you know gypsy guitar and you'll find usually like hundreds of makers for these guitars technology you know for sound reinforcement it used to be really hard to deal concert with all acoustic instruments and now it's you know it's really common for night clubs and concert halls you know they they've seen lots and lots of acoustic instruments and they know how to apply them now but it used to be really a challenge this is really hard yeah yeah so is it safe to say then that it's made your life easier and giving you more ways to be able to get your music out there and get people able to experience what you're doing that's great yeah and what about for your students as they're learning how is technology coming into play for people being able to learn a new instrument or learn a new style because because of the internet and because of CDs and cd-rom a whole generation of students has grown up learning how to play along with with with backing tracks we call them backing tracks it's like having in a company is in your computer and you just push a button and their company is plays and you can practice playing your solos against the companies that because so many students you these pre-made backing tracks they didn't learn how to become a companyís so we had a home some of the first generations of gypsy jazz guys could play great leads and great solos but they couldn't play rhythm they couldn't accompany and so their value as working musicians wasn't really as high as it might have been if they had done it the way I did it which is to learn how to be an accompanying and then you accompany somebody in person like me and observe and ask questions and listen night after night after night after night and it starts to sink in that four guys that learned from you know backing tracks where you can't interact and ask questions it's you're just limited you're not fully up to the musicians yeah yeah so it sounds like there is something lost there and not having the person-to-person dynamic and the back-and-forth that goes along with this real-time play you know yeah yeah well hopefully we'll have some new technologies that can help people get to that level but I think for now we're gonna have to realize that we can't just lean on technology for all these things Paul I'm about out of time here so I just want to thank you for making the time to come on the show thank you for all these great insights and thanks for your patience with those technical difficulties at the beginning and this has been great thank you so much this has been great for me and I appreciate the opportunity to reach all those people out there that listen today so thank you man thanks a lot ok thanks again take

Huxley's new volume is the defeat of youth the later poems in the book belonged to his subjective eccentric period were in lies are notable Emmit ists love songs are hardly mr. Huxley's line and when they do occur it sounds like the love Gamble's of the blob the nation mr. Huxley is a poet whom it is as difficult to praise outright as it is to overlook him altogether he's sending the good translation of la playa de midi dong horn almost all the reviewers like this translation if mr. Huxley could abandon his search for the rarer emotions for rareness sake and if he could be a little less ingenious or round he would be a better poet land and water mr. Huxley's great merit is that he does not attempt to conceal his sophistication his great defect is that the degree of sophistication is rather overwhelming his verse is truly elegant its rhythms are good it is incise Lee phrased it is devoid of cliches it is often ironically witty and often originally and agreeably colored he's too self-conscious to vividly aware that nearly everything has been done already it would be possible to demonstrate his power to write beautifully and well from almost any page in his volume the New Statesman scholarly and acceptable versus a literary world mr. Huxley is a poet who focuses his mind without stint in diverse a process which has its dangers but his mind is so richly stored and so quickly receptive that the result never lacks interest it is clear that any idea or emotion that comes to him as the best possible chance of surviving beautifully the times wit is the delightfully firm ground beneath or mr.

ZACNhnRjy10 | https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZACNhnRjy10 | Flotilla Friday, 2022-06-10 | uh dan is uh a colleague uh we we uh we participated in this year-long um leadership course called team management leadership program um it just ended um two weekends ago um and uh yeah we got a lot out of it at least i did and um i'll share my screen i'm not sure if you guys have already seen this have you already seen this i never showed them you're into possibility wendy wendy okay great so i will share okay so let's go to the um so this is a project you know through this program that we took um it was just being able to kind of create from nothing right um you know what what really i wanted to do was bring my full self so bringing in my like data background my kind of love for creating um websites um this passion for storytelling to create um uh you know spaces for people to see how interconnected we are um so i created this website to kind of achieve all those things um and just to kind of share inner possibility a bit um inner possibility so this was something i came up with actually in the summer of 2020 when you know things were uh we had the black lives matter movement or summer um you know i was back home in georgia where i grew up with my siblings um you know because we're also in uh you know a pandemic as well couldn't really hang in new york um and i wanted to do something oh we had a big election that year as well um so my way of doing something was creating a website where i would um sell hats and those hats were kind of a play on make america great again but it was purple and it read make america love now and i use um the revenue generated from selling those hats to donate to various causes like um sunrise um there was some other initiatives that i'm thinking of but uh oh yeah campaign zero some other ones um yep someone say something i have a question um so yeah the idea around and back then it was called love now um uh and love now you know it still has the same tenets as what the name is called now inner possibility um and those tenets are we are interconnected you know we affect each other um through our actions and inactions whether we know it or not um we are whole and complete um and i'll read what we have here we each deal with insecurities fear and shame and we each are motivated by what we believe to be good and right um so that you know what i mean by that is like we have um you know our our light side and then there's also just like this kind of um i'm going to call it dark you know we have our shame we have our issues there you know that we um insecurities like we've that's and and rejecting that at least from my personal kind of journey um you know i've gotten a lot of like being more um accepting of my full self right and i'm wondering if everyone were able to do that what would the world look like so so given that we're interconnected given that we're all whole and complete we have this powerful choice to choose um to take care of ourselves and what i mean by that is is um you know promoter collective flourishing um and that could look um you know uh like different uh like it looks yeah they could go many different ways you know when it comes to all of like our um i'm not calling problems but opportunities when it comes to just like climate change um you know how we take care of each other you know we're dealing with um you know we're hopefully weaning ourselves off from a pandemic um we are um dealing with you know gun control all of the issues at least in america you know we what would it look like if we just like you know present to these these two initial tenants and i have it that we can make a powerful choice together um okay so that's the the concept now uh going back to this game i'm gonna call it a game i've been calling it a game um you know i had folks um complete a form essentially um and you know that forum is here embedded into this uh this particular page um and it i'll let everyone actually uh you know uh um complete in silo um i'll send the share the link um but at the end here the end result is you know i've created these two visualizations here it's just like a global um map where you can see participants um who uh have played this game and where they are in the world and then these uh kind of links are to like the participant and um who referred them to play this game so that's all captured through this form completing this form it takes six minutes um and then here's another visualization um so these are again all the participants who have played um and if you hover over folks you can see who they are in the world so again i don't want to spoil it um but if you do um play this game it's just another it's an opportunity to define oneself um in a different way so for me you can see me at the center here uh i think i mentioned this fully self-express inspiring and fun um and i'm based in brooklyn um i guess i'll state see there's stacy here uh honest loving and joyful from niacc united states um you can see dan you know is uh pulling off of stacy and see how dan's connected to me dan is generous loving and committed and all the people who participated from dan i love that and then we have wendy wendy i think is on the call and then we have parmjit not so wendy you are creative wise and compassionate from south sea armjit i don't know nonjudgmental affirming and fun not sure if i'm pronouncing that um so yeah so this is fun it was just a fun project and i wanted to you know i i have to say like sometimes we get i was like busy and you know it costs money to kind of you know um pay for this form um to be like live um so i discontinued it and then stacy um you know i met stacy and she said and somehow found all of like the backstory that i shared with you um you know through just google searching um and um you know was really enrolled by this project so i actually resurrected it um and we'll continue to keep it live um and the next goal is to automate it i would love to just like have someone complete this and then autumn and have the four of these visualizations automatically updated um so that's the next step now that i have a little bit more time so yeah that's that is what i'm up to here any questions concerns comments thank you i will yeah i found that i found filling out the questionnaire really lovely too it's been a little bit since i filled it out but it inspired me enough that i shared it with other people so um yeah i mean i'm i'm some of us on this call have been working on different mapping projects um and one that i'm working on i call the tapestry but it really to me it's not about how we visualize it although visualizing it is fun and tells the story as you were saying so so well to me it's about letting ourselves be seen right it's about it it's not what visual we use it's like any visual is good just helping the unseen be seen and i like the way that you phrase the questions to bring out things that are um less typically the things we ask each other when we meet each other and i really liked that too so i think if i had a question it would be what are you hoping to do with this if you had a vision for what you know besides creating just the change that comes with seeing each other there's a lot great richness right there but are you do you have a hope or that the ripple effect will eventually do something or i have lots of thoughts about that from my own stuff so i was just curious whether you had the same yeah um you know ideally i want to honestly just see it grow and have it um grow organically and auto automatically um so if i allow people to play this game it's easy for them to participate it's easy to update the this particular the visualizations that will be a huge achievement from there you know i'm i'm not sure i think you know i'm thinking about like brands you know i'm thinking about like this inner possibility and the idea as like um something i can just you know apply in different areas whether it's through just like clothing whether it's through just um you know more like one thing actually we've been dreaming about is like having um kind of similar to like um clothing houses that have like their seasonal um i guess like drops what i would do is like have a seasonal like drop of content or some sort of storytelling um uh content that i would just um release uh you know maybe like uh twice a year so it could be in any form they could think of like um something like this just like interactive um maybe it's like a short film um again that kind of promotes the idea around inner possibility um and then couple that with like um merchandise and just again ways to kind of like grow the idea um and then uh i i with my team when i was creating this we had dreams of having this be like um a physical exhibit at a museum as well um you know things like that so just kind of like growing the idea in any way that like those are some of the ideas that i've have come for me all right um i will instruction i can tell everybody's looking at your site and yeah with these intense faces yeah whether you're feeling it out or they're i think i'm the only one who's filled it out before besides stacy so i can tell they're all okay yeah you guys are playing yeah thanks thank you very much i um i like how the forum is not just about like answering the question but then you kind of make people go back this isn't a spoiler but you kind of make people go back afterwards and reflect on their answers there's a little bit of um yeah like the form kind of changes you a little bit or at least your answer yeah yeah it was it was a fun like kind of um how can i create what feels like an in-person conversation like a one-on-one conversation virtually was like something i wanted to to solve for so typeform was like the best tool to kind of the closest tool to achieve that easily cool cool and the tool you're using for the visualizations is uh flourish right for both of us exactly flourish see i don't think it should be too hard to automate from type form to flourish because i know flourish has a um a pretty good api that you could um update information after a form is submitted and maybe you could use zapier for that um it's like a first step i'm not sure familiar with apr if you've tried that yeah i i didn't see a what do we call it within jp or like an integration um i guess like could you ping a generic api yeah so basically um and this is actually just good information for anyone who's like trying to do some automations um if zapier doesn't have an integration with you know for example like flourish um what you could do is there is a um a step um which is i believe just like do a post request or do a get request like you can just do i'll tell you what it's called exactly i need to sign in um but you can basically do you could define your own api call with any um any software and it doesn't have to be like integrated in zapier you can do the same thing with um inter integra mat which i think just changed their name to something else they're a little cheaper um pete do you know what they changed their name to i do not that's news to me actually like looks like what is that make oh yeah okay i think that's it so you're new to this group kalachi but this is a very conversational group so i can tell that everyone's really dived into your face of the looks on everyone's faces and the intensity it's cool take a look at the background [Music] grappling the fact the fact that i created started creating start answering the questions and hit the back button at one point and i think i'm gone i mean i'm back to the lead page and so i don't know if i'm double creating a profile and there'll be two of me or if it doesn't thank you it should be good i think you should be good um i think the cookies should should bring you back to um where you left off let me know if that's not true yeah it i mean the cookies aren't bringing back to where i left off it's starting me at the beginning but um but no i'll just start again okay what were you just thinking wendy yeah i had a question for clatchy but he looks like he's in the middle of something so oh no ask away ask away okay okay so i'm curious if like um what kind of time you're spending like is this taking is this just kind of one of those projects that's kind of off on the side for you and you're just curious about it and put some time in every now and then or is it something that you're looking to expand right now or is it i'm wondering if like what what you might need from this group which is maybe a hard thing for you to frame because you don't know us very well but i'm kind of wondering how we can help support your work and whether there's some synergies and opportunities for weaving our efforts together yeah if you want me to describe what work you know what i'm working on and have some other people do that first we can also do that but i was just curious that would be great that'd be great because yeah i'm coming from a place of this has been kind of like a side thing and i want to see it grow and i think um it's i just have a feeling that um this group is itching to kind of take this or like combination of a lot of things to a level that i am not present to and i'm excited to learn more yeah i'd really love you all to explain what you're doing because that's really why i wanted collect you to come here because i think he can see something that i won't be able to explain so i really want you all to know each other yeah i mean i can start i think other people might still be filling out forms um i can start so i'm gonna i'm gonna i'm gonna tell a story rather than talk about the specific projects because to me it's not so much about the projects as it is like where we're all trying to go so i tend to be a person who's a mirror my background is in psychology actually not in tech or coding or anything like that i just recognize that tech has a big role to play and where we're trying to go so for me whether i'm trying to be a mirror for people to see themselves better by having sitting down and having a one-on-one conversation with them or whether i'm trying to provide encourage it some something from a tech perspective to be built to me it's doing the same thing it's providing a mirror right either me or to community right so the data visualization matters greatly right from that perspective which i'm sure can see you nodding i'm sure you appreciate too so for me the ui ux stuff is more again i don't code i'm not a ui ux designer but i appreciate that so i tend to be a weaver right so i'm looking for all the pieces to put together um whether it's the tech pieces or it's the community pieces or the facilitation pieces or the i'm i'm usually thinking in those ways and trying to provide you know a mirror board or a document or something to help people see what i'm visualizing from that perspective and to throw it into the center and to the soup to see what see what happens and see how it changes conversation and things like that in that i'm also tends to be a systems person where i'm i'm often seeing the holes and things because i'm trying to take that view so if i see a hole and i see if filling the hole would help i try to fill it you know either by connecting people together or by filling it myself so that the entire system can rise together so i i'm often looking for that aspect in the visualizations as well and seeing that one of the things that was really missing um was for me a way for community to two aspects that are missing in data visualizations from my perspective mostly as a user of the of the information one is i need to edit my own information so if you're presenting me a not you specifically but if i get a data visualization and i can't interact with it in a way or and edit it or move it or shape it in a way that speaks then speaks to me then to me it feels more like a one-shot view of something i get that story and then i move on and i was looking for something that was be more interactive and engaging so that people felt like they wanted to come back to it that it kept informing them and then the other thing was giving a holistic view of a community so that the leaders could see where synergies are well actually so individuals could too see where the synergies are and see where the gaps are right so it's a lot to ask of technology the way it's built now um to be able to have kind of a global view of things in my own personal view of things and to be able to add notes and edit things the way i want to you know it becomes more than just the visualization it becomes a whole knowledge repository it becomes right so it starts expanding and expanding so i've tried to take little bite side pieces by size pieces of it see well can we just create like this little piece of it which is hard because the second i feel like i've shown things to people they go well that's really nice but could we have like this huge thing you know it's hard to take a bite sized piece that that um actually help that works the way we want it to work technically but also helps and supports the ultimate goals at the same time it always feels like it's lacking just a little bit like like the tools that we need right now to create the tools that we need look like we need the tools to create the tools um so i'm i'm stuck in that a little bit in that little place um i work i come to this group because not only do i really love the people in this in this meeting and i've always appreciated our conversations and um it's such a nice community but we talk here about how that our the different things that we're working on can work together better and how we can use the data or use the concepts to to help each other support each other and then on the technical side which is less than me but more more of other people in this group it's also about the technical interoperabilities of things as well so um i i currently have a project running called tapestry for me i'm trying to really get simplified with it now and go okay if i use it for me what do i really want it for and right now i'm trying to weave a bunch of projects together from people that i know and i'm seeing how they fit together and i keep trying to find ways to express that really well so that other people see what i see and i'm i'm struggling and so i'm trying to use my own tool to develop my own two to a point where things that feel like they're at the fringe edges start to realize that they're actually connected i hope that made sense can you give me an example of that like um yeah if you if you don't mind if you have like details of like those those like the fringes yeah okay so someone over here is working on hollow chain someone over here is working on trail marks right how do we help them understand that even though they might have walked slightly different paths actually ending up in a very similar place and how in how do we help those two people find the synergies there and then develop a project from that and then hopefully funding comes after that so but it starts with the awareness that these two people don't know each other yet but they're in similar circles right they're already connected in some ways and how do we help them recognize that they're actually working on in on something similar now it's obviously up to them where they decide to collaborate or not right it's not about that it's really just bringing the awareness more quickly because of course that will happen over time they could meet they could talk i'm trying to have tech help us create the sin see the synergies more quickly now if they're actually just working on two parallel things and they need to keep running parallel fine like this this isn't about forcing anything it's simply about finding the potential overlaps um i know one person over here that's working on governance another person over here that's working on governance another person over here that's working on governance one's got a slightly legal bent one's got a slightly economic spent one's got a cycly slightly financial bent how do we are they working on the same thing not working on the same thing do i invite them to meet each other do i notice right if they if i could have something in tech that would they could fill out no one wants to fill it in yet another profile right but if it's something that they could fill out something simply and then maybe come back to and add on to over time then i would imagine they would start to find each other better this is i ha i haven't seen anything technologically you know designed that helps with that step right it wants to capture all my data but it's not really helping make those overlapping synergies or even better yet sometimes highlighting the gaps and things like if i'm uh if i'm running a community i want to know not only who's in my community and what maybe next step i should take as a community should i have a meeting about governance because i just learned that like half my community is actually connected to government governance in some way then maybe we should hold a summit but also just as important as we have no artists and we have no you know nobody from a spiritual side or nobody from the indigenous side and maybe it would be wise to invite those people to a diff another kind of meeting right so it's both as the leader so i see it both on an individual level and on a leader level and then even you know and then scaling it obviously is a whole another perspective but did that help it did yes thank you yeah yeah so i could see a project like you the the gift that you have and using technology to to feel more welcoming to feel more human not that it'll ever replace i don't think anybody here thinks that technology is meant to replace creativity or create right but that but to help us get just a little further down it does it that does right technology can do that we don't want to make technology more than it is but i think if if technology was designed for people not for sales right if technology was designed for efficiencies of of connection then i think we would we would be able to use it for more than we're using it for now and feel much more satisfied with the results so i that's the piece that i feel like i can see an injured possibility that is already emerging that is that is super important in this realm of how do we use tech to help connect people i got it yeah i again i was thankful oh yes thank you for sharing because i'm present to um this kind of the goal that you're getting at right is to like again not for just like profit seeking it's more of like no we want to just connect people who are moving in similar directions so that we can create efficiencies to get to where we need to go wow which is like kind of what inner possibility is like like collective flourishing oh cool i'm present yes and that's where it started for me was flourishing so my my driving question is why aren't we all already thriving because we have what we need but we're not using the resources well or we're not capitalizing on people's strength resources being very broad broad definition right we're not using people's strengths in the right places at the right times right we're not allowing people's brilliance to rise up who maybe don't have marketing degrees right so they don't right so how do we how do we bring all that how i give an opportunity to bring all that stuff to the fore and technology hasn't been designed to do that but what if what if it was marc antoine can i ask you to introduce yourself i'm going to ask you off because i want to hear it sure um i'm i did go through the process and what i'm interested in is alignment not so much what wendy was describing though i guess that's absolutely part of it but the alignment of vision alignment of understanding and so i'm very i'm a bit mindy so i'm interested in the uh representation of viewpoints and uh world views uh so that we can start comparing those world views um the i was thinking about and so i worked on a few collective intelligence tools uh id loom is an old tool sensecraft is a new tool and hyperknowledge is a kind of background research project for all of this and yeah the big question for me is good data representation for expressing the plurality of viewpoints uh other than that uh what else to say [Music] other than this work aspect i'm trying to sometimes remember that i'm a buddhist and to meditate and i live in montreal and that's most of what i have to say in terms of what you're saying about finding these gaps between projects wendy aya i would ask you what is it you don't expect to be able to do on the catalyst so let me try that question your question is where is catalyst limited for me is that what you mean like what is catalyst not doing yeah for that goal but maybe i should let other the presentation round finish but i'd really like to throw this question at you yeah so let me i'll answer quickly and then for me it's seeing the connections between things okay right it's right so vincent's troves are fabulous and but it's hard to visualize all the connections you know so it's almost like kumu on top or seriously on top or right like that's the piece okay vincent you want to go um actually i need to go check on my grandma real quick so you guys can circle back to me i'll be right back michael pete pete i'm waiting for michael to jump in um uh hi kaleshi it's nice to meet you you're doing cool stuff um so cece what what's this game again what's what games um this game that i'm asking i'm asking you to introduce yourself well so i can play that a bunch of different ways right and and you probably don't um i was embarrassed how ugly my tech looks basically looking at clutches so i had to find some tech that or i had to find some some artistic stuff so let me show you some artistic stuff that i haven't shown people much pete's an overachiever i'm just gonna throw that in here i think it is i'm finding this so it's interesting that everyone's feeling shy this is kind of cute so this i i had to find this and say yeah i've actually got a decent eye for art and i like making art and stuff like that the so the funny thing is i i like colors and patterns and stuff like that so a lot of these things make me they just make me happy just looking at them but then um i love these i was saying thank you for showing this you're welcome um so so then um then i take it took a second look and i was like uh there's i there's a whole nother thing i've been playing around with the ai um the ai image generator tools and i've i've curated like so you don't create stuff with with ai art generators your curate stuff um so the generators i've played with basically you you poke around with them with simple words um for like dozens of times and so out of a hundred things you find one or two that are like oh wow i could share this it looks interesting or or you can take it apart a little bit and put it back together a slightly different way so so then i was looking at these and go damn so these are from like 15 to 20 years ago damn did what this basically is uh i can look at these and know how they were created and stuff a lot of it is just curation um combinations of uh pallets and geometric transformations and stuff and it's it's curation so so cliche one of the things i'm really good at is curating and editorial editorial decision making um and that's a lot of what this is so so then i'm like isn't there anything that i actually made by hand and and this is a really interesting explanation of how to brighten brighten up a an image in photoshop and with some different layers and and the tricks that you use to get a nice balanced thing but i actually this is my grandmother so again this is something where i'm more curating than creating so this is a it's colorized from a black and white photo and cleaned up a lot and stuff like that so anyway um uh so um [Music] uh oh actually so let me show you the ugly stuff um uh this is a good example so um so i've got a project called uh massive mouse of wiki um and so a lot of what i do is i try to help people connect to each other and work together um so a lot of that work in my life has been working on wikis and this is i i've got a project called um massive wiki uh which um [Music] it's it's a the idea to provide classic wiki utility with uh various tools and processes that enable decentralization and federation so um so the good news is massive wiki is actually really cool and the bad news is the this is the prettiest prettiest look that it has right now which is it's totally fine but it's not great or anything like that um because architecturally it's it's uh sweet um so uh if you if you appreciate architecture there's a lot of cool stuff about it so the things um uh um i've been doing it for a long i i've been i've been in tech for since like 19 1980 or so so i've been doing a bunch of stuff lots of different stuff kind of echoing the same thing i help people communicate i help people collaborate i help people find each other i i've actually got a really strong line of narrative and story running through my weaving through all of that so i think narrative and story are really important and and the only like for instance the only way that people uh people communicate is within stories and and that's the only way they understand stuff too so you kind of need to squash things down into a story before it makes sense to anybody or you can let them kind of discover a story around an artifact or something like that but then you get interesting emerging things but not communication so so wikis is a big part of that uh helping people use tech is a big part of it um i've i've i'm good at tech and a lot of people are good at making the world better and that that doesn't always overlap so i like to find people who not so much not so much uh i i actually like to look for people who are are underserved by by talk um and who want to do something and i try to help them do what they think is most important um so the way i say that is not people who are making the world better but people have good intent so i i like to help people get into do the thing that they think is really important so most recently with this network of folks and then a bunch of interlocking networks that are larger than that the thing that i've been trying really hard to work on is [Music] decentralization and federation so helping people work together at scale without being very tightly bound to each other so uh one of the projects that's that is in this internetwork of networks is called the meta project and um i would have to say that this has been kind of a hard week so part of the reason i'm always a little bit quiet and shy um but part of the reason i'm a little bit quiet and shy today is because it's been a hard week especially with metaproject and i don't mean hard like bad i mean hard like a lot of work and not a lot of not a lot of feeling of reward yet uh there's another wendy in our group wendy alford uh and she and i spent a lot of time together so yesterday we were together for four hours on one of our regular work work sessions we had about an hour of work to do i think and we did about half an hour of it and so i have homework today um the other three and a half was working through like kind of a pretty minor detail about how people work together so meta project right now is um it's in bootstrap mode and we're kind of trying to bootstrap at a couple levels of hierarchy and scale at the same time and and it's really confusing for everybody and everybody's frustrated by it um and the the a main frustrating thank god this is uh recorded one of my homework things for wendy alford is is to have uh some short stories um for her so that she can the rest of you will understand this so she's collecting up stories from a few of us so that she can sense maker eyes them or uh lexi monster them into a visualization of see here's what we're talking about and why everybody's frustrated uh wendy alford's a wizard at doing that so um so this what i just went through parts of it or a story that i can grab from the transcript or something and give to her thank god because it's a hard hard homework project for me um anyway um [Music] it's it's i'm kind of in a double mind frustration i i this is well i feel a little bit weird having this on on recording but whatever um is it i haven't because it doesn't actually really matter i have a like a personal frustration that doesn't really matter in the large scale so usually i just don't talk about those much but i have this double bind frustration because one of my whatever the actions and avatar takes are called i don't know how you would say that but one of one of the things that i do for this community is run communication systems um and wendy uh wendy and i both finally ended up kind of like being able to talk about the same problems in a language we both co-understood yesterday after like an hour and a half or two hours and i said it's kind of like we're trying to fit i was talking about the meeting the meadow project meeting this this week we're trying to fit uh 15 pounds of of stuff into a 10-pound sack um and and really we had 25 pounds of stuff that we had to fit somewhere and we just threw away a ton of it but then we still had this problem where and she said that's a great metaphor pete and and what happens when you try to fit 15 pounds of stuff in a 10-pound sack is that it leaks out everywhere kind of so i'm trying to trying to help shepherd everybody into a very small number of communication channels ideally kind of one um and it's kind of exploded all over the place and there's little conversations happening everywhere and um which is fine i think actually there should be conversations everywhere but we're having conversations that need to be in shared space in unshared spaces um so i i love that people have conversations outside outside the shared spaces but only the conversations need to be outside the shared spaces and the ones that need to be so we we can't fit it into the 10-pound sack um and everybody's frustrated about that and and so all the stuff's spilled out and no and and we can't even put it back right and i guess you know i said you know this we can make the sack bigger in certain ways and we could put it back in but it's too messy it's all over the place and stuff like that so that's um that's this week for me um flotilla welcome to flotilla flotilla we work on the the original conceit was to work on tools for connectors and part of that is directories part of that is is uh i like a word called matchmakers matchmaking so one of the ways that people get connected i think is by humans being parts of different networks and saying hey you should just like stacy did right for you hey you should and just like you're doing with uh the visualization that you've got hey you should know this person right you should know that person so i really like that um and that's kind of in the dna of flotilla uh the other another big part of the dna of flotilla is um uh blending people and technology and then and then making sure that the technology isn't single community single tech it's actually um can fit together with many other kinds of technologies that are trying to do similar things for you know different different networks and things like that so so this is maybe a good home for you uh thanks so thank you pete thanks for sharing yeah just what i got there is um uh doing hard things could be frustrating um and but yeah kind of like um finding the essence right of like what we're trying to do and i'm just kind of teasing that through everyone's share um and uh what i'm getting is can we and with like my project right it's like could we define people through like their their essence in a way like who they are as maybe like as a possibility and then like have that away capture that you know and and have that uh as a way to kind of um connect people you know i i like that and i've i've also kind of got from from my background or my my bench or whatever my my expectation is that the way that that works best is to have a platform a space however you want to call it where people can express themselves but then for the the essence essentially to be recognized by other people and by by matchmakers [Music] so i'm big on i'm big on saying that i think the tools help you help help different humans remember what's special about people um help remember what's special about me help remember what's special about you and help remember what's special about her but that the actual like the so you can so that the the representation of the the essence is actually in other people's heads and the tools just help you remember that and articulate it and stuff like that but the the essence part is actually an emergent property of other people seeing you and thinking about you and loving you and stuff like that so then the way that you know the way that works together with people is that you say hey i love this person i think you'll love this person um and that's the that's the the matchmaking part that's the connection part that's how you can actually get the essences shown visible that's beautiful michael i think you're up well hello um i'm i'm not only inspired by what you were doing kolechi but it's it's great to hear um wendy and pete and mark antoine you know reintroduce themselves and uh you know i've been seeing them for a long time but there's a lot there's a lot i'm getting out of what they're saying um and there's a lot that overlaps with where i'm coming from um my my background is in in media making um i spent sort of like have three three phases to my professional life um and you know if you take it pre-professional there's just like sort of being uh what i thought was um an activist when i was like a little kid in berkeley california um and uh and then you know wanting to move into some way to express that and help other people express that which meant getting into publishing sort of stumbling into it and out of that i think one of the things that's really important to me is helping other people effectively communicate what they have to say i've spent a lot of time you know framing other people's messages um organizing their information coming up with signage and ways to help them you know help them be seen and and expressed and usually it's the writer the photographer the illustrator who i'm like presenting is the person whose message is important and my importance is is making sure that comes through not you know layering my message on top of that or obscuring it um [Music] and like out of a long career in in magazine making um i sort of moved into the the digital expression of those kind of legacy businesses and you know work done [Music] okay how is you know whether it was a you know timing or hearst or you know this publication or that you know how how is how is this publication going to manifest itself in digital space and it was incredibly frustrating because it was hard to get those businesses to see that they needed to um to just look at what they were doing and what their purpose was in different ways than oh we make this how does that thing express itself in a digital way like let's take these articles that we have and put them on the world wide web as opposed to this is who we are how do we be in this new space that might have nothing to do with articles it's like if we came up with the idea of being [Music] time you know what would time be if it wasn't already a magazine and it was existing in digital space which might be something completely different um and out of out of that frustration um i got into what i'm doing now uh professionally still do a little consulting but um it's a platform called called factor um which i couldn't show and tell a little bit but i'll say that um and it's a uh thanks pete that's great to do that um uh and actually uh if you are logging into that it's i think at the moment working with uh google oauth and not working with uh with just emails so i have to double check something's going on right now um and it's about um a whole lot of things that that we're all thinking about right now and that is that you know information [Music] provenance for people has gotten really mucked up it's really you know it's a great thing that you know as compared to the previous life of of content publishing that um content creation is democratized and you know everybody can do it but there's a big problem with that which is now it's democratized and everybody can do it um and and also that you know the the ownership of algorithms is is distorting the information that's being put out there and promoting stuff that's incendiary and engaging and you know clickbait and all that stuff so [Music] how do we um you know take control of what information it is that we choose to see and not be distracted by stuff that we don't really want to see but is candy you know how do we make our diet what we choose and is healthy uh not like the candy and treats and fatty stuff that somebody's sh shoving at us i mean there's lots of lots of metaphors i love to get into there but i'll stop myself um and and then on the other hand how do we take um what we have and selectively present it to the rest of the world with the control to say you know this information [Music] is mine and protected and private and just for me this is stuff i want to share with this group right here this is stuff i want to share with my family this is what i want to share with these professional peers this with you know people i'm working on a project with this with my doctor this with my you know accountant whatever you know there's all different layers of access and intimacy that we want to be able to control um and uh you know that that big project is something that i'm fully cognizant that you know i'm not the only one working on and there are many of us and and a lot of us here are are you know really concerned with those same things and how they overlap so you know i spend a lot of my time in groups um just kind of industry for lack of a better term groups um that are about um you know ethical tech and information sharing and uh you know anti-disinformation and um digital privacy and um my frustration is that in a capitalist um world we're all coming from this sort of oh how do i get my piece of the pie i you know factor i co-founded it with someone else and it was founded as a for-profit and i'm really frustrated by that i don't i don't want to seek venture capital i'm like looking for ways to merge what i'm doing with what other people are doing and the legal frameworks and the economic conditions for that are almost you know a brick wall but i'm sure there's a way through it i'm not determined to find it um so uh yeah that's a bit of a ramble but um a little bit of a framing of where i'm coming from and um you know i'm just really excited about you know i'm here in flotilla and working with metaproject and you know individually working with a lot of people here um and a lot of people who aren't here um [Music] just trying to connect us all and make individuals um more more equal not uh living in somebody else's shopping mall but you know both safe at home and able to come into a public space that's truly public and interact with each other easily so that's all thank you mike for shane and your world i know we're uh [Music] vincent my turn okay so let's see i'll try to keep this sort of short um yeah my background is in the intersection of engineering and design and so i went to an engineering school called rpi and i wanted to initially like solve problems and engineers are great at solving problems so i was like okay cool i'll create like robotic submarine systems and solve the world's greatest problems and then through like kind of going through the initial engineering courses i realized like yeah like engineers are really great at solving problems but they don't necessarily get to choose which problems are worth solving or which are the like important problems to solve and so that's kind of how i got into design and design thinking and i did a dual program with uh this degree it was um in the social sciences and it was about like how to look at technology and think about what could be the unintended consequences how do we use design in order to shape technology in ways that have more ethical outcomes that are it's more equitable for people on the planet and um yeah so through that i kind of was like in me is like very pro tech and the other half of me is like against tech and very like trying to make sure it's designed to create more positive effects than negative effects and and externalities so um yeah and and through through that i ended up discovering that i really love connecting people and i kept seeing the same problems over and over again in like every single group chat that i was in every club the part of um there would be this kind of like falling out where people would lose touch and then not have an easy way to reconnect and so um i started a club called ties and it was a group of like human matchmakers on college campus that basically um help people connect with they're looking for so we ended up um hosting different uh events and um we had a directory of people working on startups and when people would come to us and be like hey i'm looking to work on a startup we could like matchmake and so i'm really interested in how we can kind of use technology to help us do that at scale um because i experience firsthand like some of my roommates like working on the same exact problem like a desalination system where there was someone else on a campus of like you know a thousand people working on the same exact issue and they didn't know about each other um and so that was kind of the initial inspiration for the work i'm doing now with catalyst which is a combination between a social network and a digital library so it's all about like cataloging information and um tagging it it's it's very structured and organized so it's like you know a really intricate library system of like knowing where things go so that way you can either with a human matchmaker or in an automated way connect people with what they're looking for when they need it and so um instead of kind of like re creating chat systems and like notification systems like the other piece that i started working on was like how to integrate with other technologies such as discord telegram matter most that have these like streams or even like a zoom chat where this like stream of information and instead of like having another stream like how can we take information from that and organize it add some level of structure to it to make it easier to find later um and so that's kind of where the um catabot project comes in which is connected um and so been just trying to do the matchmaking and the connecting in a way that also doesn't overwhelm us with even more information and even more feeds um so it's kind of like how can you given that we already have all these feeds and ways and places that people are sharing how can we organize that information where we can connect it to people when they need it yeah i've been thinking about that for um my my work at four mile where we just want to like capture knowledge and we're all working on slack a lot of that knowledge is captured there and how do we extract it you know in a way that like you know people can easily find oh okay this particular approach to a problem has been done before um but it's like housed here in the slack red um yeah thinking about how to kind of memorialize it in a way that's easily accessible um awesome man i am inspired i okay i see what you guys are up to i'm present now so this i'm i'm enrolled i um [Music] what's next i know uh i have to jump i'm late for a call but um i want to be involved in some form of fashion i'm sure we i just like i'll join next week um and sorry to kind of take over the call i don't know how long you guys are actually on the call actually um is it for an hour i'm so glad you came and i just want to say to all of you i'm so grateful to have all of you and i appreciate you so much and like my heart is so full when i leave here and pete this was a really hard week you're i mean i think a lot of us have felt that you know maybe i'm wrong but i i do think a lot of us have felt that and so i just want to tell you that i really love you all i and i mean that i i'm not known to give away compliments when i don't mean them so and thank you collect you for coming i'm i'm so happy that you were that you came i'm so glad thank you i really hope we see you again yeah i'll be here next week 90 minutes right okay we'll have to plan accordingly alrighty i have to drop but um bye thank you guys for sharing and excited for what's next and before we get off we will have to get back to what we were talking about which was our in person get together yeah that would be really nice yeah when will that be i doubt i'll come but curious we have that topic of conversation yeah yeah maybe we could start up at something in mattermost too like just to try to we uh have there's there's the new york the new york channel the new yorkers channel and matter most we can like invite even honorary new yorkers like pete even mark marquez uh i'd love to be a honorary new yorker yes it's it's certainly easier for me to go there than west coast um i i would love to bring the conversation back around to the stuff that's happened for you guys and matter most this week you know if there's support i feel like because i was on vacation last week i got out of the loops but i'm happy to listen and be present or provide support or you know just i i'm i would love to hold space for that wherever that needs to go if that's a service you guys have did a lot of work in the last couple weeks and i know how hard that is i've been in those spaces too within matter most i mean we've all been in those spaces before i mean i'm sorry with a meta and so um just happy to happy to hold space for that one of the challenges is that jordan's um turns a little bit out actually a lot out he shouldn't be doing anything with us but um he's with uh the in-laws spending time with the family so um so that's kind of exacerbated a little bit sorry are you did i hear that you were working on interrupt among other things right now uh who are you asking you mostly but um i nothing well yeah nothing new um interop architecture and stuff like that um the the the thing that i i have been working on um [Music] uh is my little corner of decentralization which uh i think was well jordan and i are still working through it but we're doing it very asynchronously um so my my part is a little bit smaller than what jordan was thinking and they fit together but drawing the line of where drawing the edge somebody was talking about ed nora bateson and edges yesterday um anyway uh nothing super new been reading a lot on [Music] new models of crdts and how to do convergence and how to do this and how to do that it's been awesome it's like there's been new papers by uh martin klepman i could do a review of those if you're interested it's probably probably unfortunately not for me but um cccrdt is is how people have worked out technology so that you can do two things more than one person can do kind of the same thing in the same place so a classic example is google docs or hackmd where a bunch of people can type together and everybody can see the changes in real time st stays here muted so c stands for collaboration uh stands for conflict-free um kind of replicated data types yeah data type thank you okay very much conflict conflict-free replicated data types is the crdt right yeah it's complexly or convergent you may be right i'm not i think it just like which so there's a whole topic right there is it contact free or conversion you're right you're right conflict free because it's dash lowercase f so my my old my old thing i i was on team ot um operational transform for the longest time um not because i believed in n i so oh t came before right i wasn't on team ot until i'm on team ot just because joseph gentle was was uh he was like the main ot person and he did some amazing work i have a question who makes joseph gentle or maybe somebody right before him said i have this new algorithm i will call it operational transform and there's it makes sense why he called it operational transform um so then somebody else i think in parallel i don't think they were working off each other but somebody else said we need a way to have data change in multiple places at once but not create conflicts it needs to be so i've created this conflict it's replicated it's conflict-free data types they're they're really basic you know not not brand names at all but teams name themselves basically well it's it's it's nearly a project it's it's just algorithms it's algorithms but you both identified yourself as being on a team no no no emoji they were they were different separate algorithms for doing the same thing and and it blew my mind joseph gentle is this wonderful australian guy and if you saw him you would think he was a surfer dude you know um but he also did this amazing i so mark antoine is probably smart enough to understand crdts and ots and stuff like that i just can't you know i start looking at the math i i don't have enough math there's a whole interesting story about me and matt i i have i'm really good at math but it's all intuitive i don't actually understand any of it really i can just feel it separately my my oldest kid my daughter um she's actually a math genius she's a whiz and you know she can look at math and she thinks it's she and i are both good at languages in different ways and she's like oh math is just another language and i get it but anyway so i never i never understood ot um it but it's it's like magic you know you like drag and and joseph gentle used to write these couple hundred lines of javascript typescript coffeescript code and um and it's like here all you have to do is this and and magically you're doing this like conflict-free you know replicated stuff and it's like how does that even work um i i guess you know that if you don't think about it it's it's just like if you don't think about google docs and the fact that people are typing together it's like yeah okay i get it you know it's more tech the techies invented some stuff it's actually really really hard and i've read enough of the math and i've read enough diagrams and stuff like that you know it's like okay this person changed you know this this character and there's three other people and that person changed that character and how do you make sure that all of that data flows around that network and everybody ends up seeing the same thing right and and not like because the letters are coming out of order at different times and different ways and people are hitting backspace and all that kind of stuff all of that stuff is happening and making sure that everybody sees the same thing is like mind-blowingly difficult um so so ot was magic just a gentle was you know i got to see him a couple times i'm like wow this is so cool and i love that there's this person in the world and then i'm hearing this thing about crdt and i'm like you know just joseph is the the genius here i don't know why why even anybody even bothered inventing these so the mind-blowing thing was like five or ten years later joseph gentiles he posted something on twitter and blew my mind he said okay cr dt is actually the right way to do it there's like little tiny like you know pluses and minuses between them that make you know make it so that ot is not perfect like i thought it was cr dt is actually much more close to perfect than ot you know down in the like like in decimal place so it like blew my mind when joseph like to me went over to the dark side right and it turns out oh no i guess that's the light side i was i was wrong this whole time so i was very much thinking they're not neither is that complicated by the way i mean i understand reading the math no i understand reading the math can be complicated but the idea behind them is not that that's fair yeah uh i get intimidated by math fair enough reading the math is not that easy but ot and crdt are not that hard and for me it's like what's the problem with with ot because it works but yeah i did read i just was posted joseph's i was wrong crdts are the future and and i think i see why uh and it and it does show how kudos to joseph gentle for having the modesty of saying yep i got it wrong it reminds me of this uh frega and russell right it's this kind of humility intellectual humility i was on the wrong track and i think that's true and martin klitman's work is also luminous uh it's so clear it's so it just works and i've actually started playing with auto merge which is one of clipman's implementations of crdt beautiful work and yeah uh if you're interested in multi-editor and multi-mini people modifying something at once this is where it go it's going but the other basic principle before that it's uh something that was happening with calm and bloom i don't know if you remember those pete uh yeah bloom as a project didn't go anywhere but the ideas behind bloom are again extremely luminous and clear and uh a lot of those ideas end up in the newest uh clipman theoretical incarnation which is upsets by the way upsets is the new shiny thing in that world and um [Music] i think it's extremely important uh even if you're not thinking of real time if you're thinking of i'm doing something on my side you're doing something on your side and we want to combine them and see what's the common view of this this is where upsets or bloom or all these approaches are relevant to the notion of we want to combine information for for everybody else sorry we're geeking out here but um but it is actually not just google docs or hackmd and characters um it uh the it's a general purpose thing for databases or um you know even even h one of joseph gentle's uh early demos was being able to change things like drag and drop [Music] list items in a web page and multiple people could do that at the same time and you know the lists stayed in sync so it's kind of the same thing with databases and the other thing is like like mark antoine said it's not just real real time it it's also offline works really well so back in san francisco it was the um the bart tunnel between the under the bay that goes from san francisco to berkeley it's like um you want to be able to like start collaborating with somebody on a text document and then take the tunnel over to berkeley and you know with back in the day we didn't have any uh internet in the tunnel and so you pop up in berkeley and magically your text editor shows the same thing that somebody else was typing the whole time on so so it can actually be you know it can be like 5 or 10 minutes it can be like days or weeks and maybe paragraphs have moved around and things like that and you're still able to reconcile it's not a trivial problem but but again it's reconciling worldviews again it's the same problem we keep talking about whether it's the real time aspect is incidental up to a point to it being the fundamental problem we're all dealing with and that's why i'm deep in the crdt world these days it it has relationships also to get git kind of does the same thing with human health a little bit and not not much human health but a little bit and then hyper knowledge is something where you'd want different people in a way it's kind of the same thing hyperknowledge is a way for for people to layer changes on top of knowledge structures and keep them all in sync kind of it's a weird way to say it but like just uh sorry vincent this seems like a really like obvious thing but do any companies just use wiki instead of email and then have some notifications set up where like you make a wiki page or and it just sends i think there are a few companies that do that mostly not um social text the the company i ran that did um enterprise wikis our company was exactly like that it turns out you also need chat so we replaced um at the at the time the enterprise suite was outlook and and powerpoint and uh word and sharepoint and whatever share drive was before sharepoint and so we we didn't use email um and we didn't use presentations um we just had the wiki so we had a wiki but then you also needed chat which in our time was irc which is slack is basically irc made nice and matter most is basically slack and you know so everything is or jabber god i missed jabber [Laughter] just interesting we've defaulted to tools which embody which like we're like attaching files within instead of like file tools that the chat goes on top of it's very interesting if that's the defaults and i'm sure uh geary would be like pretty chad is wonderful i don't want to say chad but the problem is you need to have the two modes you need to have the the flow and you need to have the stock you need to have the conversation and then you need to build something lasting that is not just in the moment but you need both it's true you can't always be editing a document that's a fact but you can't if you're just doing chat at some point reaching back in history to know anything that was said is a stupid way to curate knowledge and so you need to transform the flow into stock that's what id loom was about but ideally was more web forum than chat because it was before slack had caught up so much so we thought you know there'll be kind of fast stuff on chat because were taught we were using chat jabber while developing we thought there would be a kind of mid-range speed conversation with forum style and the long-term ideal would curate the conversation into this outline it didn't happen because getting people to shift to another web forum tool is hard which we knew so that you know we put we tried to put uh hooks into we could hook into mail which some people still use so that works or into facebook and then facebook changes change the api too fast for us to follow because they don't really want people to get anything out of facebook that's not in their interest it's their whole interest is the wild garden and the whole question of how as you were saying michael earlier how to have something that is interoperable yet aware of privacy and who do i want to share this with is an absolutely fundamental problem i was just gonna i i i misunderstood you and in a in a serendipitous way uh i thought you said wild garden instead of um walled garden and uh and you know barbed wire garden well no i mean i i th the fact that um that facebook is not only a walled garden but a wild garden in the sense that it's impossible to find anything is to their advantage they want you to be in their wild garden and just wandering around aimlessly and distractibly another interesting thing that vincent observed there is that so you've got this however you want to call it stocks and flows or chats and files chat messages and files the we we end up in systems that conceptually conceptually are chat systems with file attachments rather than file systems with messaging um and and i think i my pop psychology interpretation of that is that um is having having spent a fair amount of time trying to sell my enterprise wiki and being successful you know largely to to companies and and people who just want to get stuff done and don't want to play around with tech um you can chat seems like a first-class object to almost everybody um whereas files are a first-class object to not many people um so when you're explaining to somebody you know um i the the a chat system with file file features is going to be acceptable to a lot more people kind of just says uh oh it's yeah obviously i need to send messages to that person and it would be great if i could fetch files most people don't go around going look at all the files i have and you know that's the thing i really care about and hey if i could message a person about this file that would be awesome that's it's just not i you know that's not the way people work so i think it's there's a there's a kind of a fake um saying you know uh everything everything uh evolves until it it has a chat system or something like that i forget that wouldn't you call the comments system in google doc a bit of a chat system though uh a bit yeah well i would point to uh social particularly facebook um [Music] as a sort of um midway model that has not been allowed to flourish in a practical way which is you know between chat at between files being the primary object and chat being the the primary thing is the post and the comments which serve as chat and the post might be a statement a question a file whatever but the fact that you have a conversation that is attached to an object rather than an object that's embedded in a conversation is great and everybody's you know comfortable with that and experiences that all the time on facebook and instagram and you know any social social space like that um and that to me is is like something i mean we've worked with that a little bit on factor you know that you're posting something and then able to like comment under it um and if if slack i i feel like there's there's some sweet spot there like both things have to exist in the sense that unlike facebook you need to be like lightning searchable to say now i want to see like all the stuff on this subject that is you know a video or whatever which facebook doesn't want you to do because they don't want you to get directly there and then jump into the asynchronous conversation about that thing not have it having disappeared up the slack matter most whatever you know chat um river i think there's i think there's something different this is the reddit niche right if the thing exists on the open web you can have a reddit conversation around it and it works really well yeah yeah it's pretty good i mean reddit is a little bit to me reddit is a little bit more the object embedded in the conversation because like a reddit um yeah a subreddit you you can't really find the obj it's not it's not object primary it's forum primary i mean it's like the conversa if you consider the forum a conversation i mean i think you're seeing that model as this is a discussion under one object which is the subject right which is yeah which is yeah which is what i'm saying but which is often a url of a document on the web sure and that way the primary you have a primary document on the web and then you have the conversation around it are you but are you talking about an entire subreddit or somebody's individual post within that subreddit that is a url no i'm speaking about a subreddit based on the url of something else right right sure sure but i think what what tends to happen on reddit and to me why i wouldn't put say it's an example of the of the i hate to use facebook as a model for anything but that that facebook model is that um the unless an entire subreddit is built around a url what you tend to get is a subreddit that is a subject that ends up being the forum is a conversation within which somebody will post a url and there'll be a little bit of discussion of that but it sort of ends up working a little bit like slack i mean it's better than slack but because it's threaded for one thing yeah yeah but um yeah i don't know another conversation i was wondering if we might want to circle back to to some of the stuff about more general um i mean it's related to this but that's going on in in uh metaphorical world sorry i got to use something no no no we all did i mean you know we were doing the collection talk and then you know um it was great i i ended up i spoke over wendy and then she didn't get to talk i was wondering what she was gonna say and she remembers um sure yeah and i'm happy to go back to that after this too i was just gonna throw in that maybe some of this has what we were talking about in terms of the difference between chat and the comments on documents and documents themselves was speaking to me i never really thought about it before and it was in terms of why people are doing what they're doing and i was thinking to me in term more in terms of sense making like so if i'm chatting there's a little more like i can just throw thoughts that thoughts out depends on the forum but yeah i can get i can throw thoughts out if somebody replies to a great if not that's fine i'm like throwing my thoughts there i don't necessarily need to reflect on them as much if i'm making a comment on a document i'm reflecting on something in the document i'm trying to add to it or i'm trying to i'm trying to bring it forward by commenting on it right and so i'm taking it's like in a meeting i'm taking there there's times when we share things and then the conversation moves on fine that's more chat like i'm in the argument i'm making here versus the time when i'm sharing something and then someone else goes oh i want to add on to that right there's there's something different that's happening when we're when we're making efforts to connect what we're saying to each other then just a bunch of info information data points thrown into the middle and then the document itself starts to be an artifact that can change for a while that probably would change for a while and then eventually it falls off and stops being changed so much the as we're having conversations somebody somebody is sense making it into a document or into an artifact that then can serve over time there's very few people are going to go through a chat and make sense out of it it it it's it's more in the moment right versus a document which is hopefully now curated to the point and since made to the point where someone else could read it and get some knowledge out of it so um that's i was starting to realize in terms of a sense making continuum i hadn't really thought about it before so to your point pete yeah like makes sense to me when i think about it that way like chat's available to everybody just i had this thought here's my thoughts here's my thoughts it's moving from that to something else and and and instead as a society we've actually moved more toward the chat you know and maybe some of that's because of that gets ads and it's easy and it's right like so from a tech perspective and from the way our capitalist society's set up it also serves the system um but it's you know be nice to move move things in the other direction too and i do think all the parts are important as well you know so i think they all have a role to play but putting it in that for me putting it in that context of sense making was helping me put it in its lanes you know it's it's absolutely important the um it's all the issue of sense making through time right the chat is the immediate reactions necessary we need to you know sense and react that's one temporality the document is crystallized the result of a crystallized thought process it's curated but the problem is it's usually curated by one or very few people because calibration is hard and it becomes harder as you add people so it's single or not that many points of view and and and as you see it stops evolving and in a way it's a good thing because if it keeps evolving it loses coherence and that's a problem with wikis make keeping wiki pages coherent as you evolve them is even harder so what you either you have successive sense making articles maybe by different people and but then it's like okay what's the sense of history and how does the later version connect to the earlier version how do multiple versions talk together and that's the part that i'm most interested in but the the whole question of you have created the document at some point you have to revisit it you you you know we took decisions we made predictions we made sense making a certain way and then new facts come and we tried things a certain way it worked it didn't work lessons learned we have to revisit without destroying the historical information the document because this is the best we could do with that information at that time and we want to know to keep knowing that having that kind of information leads to this kind of decision but by the way now with new information we get a different decision and that's now i want to go back to michael who wanted to move on to meta stuff i was just um commenting on the wiki chat post object interface um i have a quick thing maybe i can fit into the just this here which is i um the the the thing i posted uh jamie zawinski said you know everything evolves into email basically into an email client and then luke w said everything evolves into a chat system um there's there's something there those are connections too but but then i remember that jamie zawinski does these amazing rants so i have one or two collected and i can't find them right now so i was looking for rants and i found this one about kill math um it's uh by the by the way the other funny thing is in high school i was considered a math genius like like oh my god you know um and literally i was number 11. i placed number 11 in the state competition for for math it's a small state i was in nevada a big geographic state small population but anyway so then i went to caltech where they actually do math and the other thing is uh as a as a high school student i didn't they didn't have enough math so i had to go to the university of nevada reno where i was in like a junior level class and blew the curve for a bunch of med students you know and so when i say that i'm not good at math it's a weird thing right because most people think i would be really good at math but anyway i went to caltech where they really do math and bam like within like a day it was okay pete you're in remedial math 0.9 literally that was what it was called i didn't get to go to math one like everybody else you know so it worked out great because we had a great a wonderful ta who spent a lot of time with us and you know i got to learn about differential equations or whatever but but anyway so i found this rant in my collection of rants and it's really good and it's not so much about math as much as visualization and representing uh data and stuff in in a way in in a lot often visual ways so i felt like that was a worthy thing to drag back into our space because i just skimming over that long blog post i think there's a lot of articulation about stuff that we care about um i never did get good at math at caltech i was really good at physics because physics is kind of intuitively math um but the math part i just was never good at um i did not like geometric proofs although i had um in in ninth and tenth grade in high school um we had an algebra and geometry teacher who brutalized the children and i didn't know that at the time i just thought she was a little weird um but she had very little patience for for high schoolers um and so she would run through stuff and um and if you didn't get it she had no pity on you and she brutalized people really uh so there was a uh a young lady who never got the the concept of an invisible one in front of a like you know if you have x plus y it's like 2x plus 2y made sense to her but if you take away the number so there's no number she never got the concept that there's an invisible one there right so she ended up being called the teacher called her invisible one because you know she never got it there was another one that so i i took geometry from her and i think i got spoiled from about the whole geometric stuff um in general because of her um the the poor person that she brutalized in geometry was albert so we learned the angle angle side angle angle you know side whatever and then side side angle and then there's angle side side which spells ass which you're supposed to think of that as the um as the one that doesn't work right it doesn't have enough of the right components to make it work so albert never got that one and because his name was albert ass became albert says so you know albert says so that this is proper so the other funny thing about her was she kept the room at like 65 degrees to keep us all at attention you know everybody was like freezing to death the whole time anyway i really liked her because she left me alone um but i didn't realize until later that that she was a horrible teacher so i don't even know about geometry i i got you know i i like hid i didn't want to get the pizza so about something so sorry um anyway i think that blog post is interesting um and it might be worth a look and especially maybe for vincent too um or are folks doing mapping maps and visualizations and stuff which which posts the kill math one yes uh it's so it's got a catchy title kill mouth and and it makes it sound like i hate math but i don't um but it but whatever it's not really about math it's more about visualization and you know geometric geometric things and how to show those to people so apologies for the digression for people who are visual [Music] and and i totally value that but i'm not visual i'm a mat as logic person these visual things don't help me which is fine i mean i i have to ask i wanted to ask and then i talked myself out a bit i have to ask especially because it kind of gave me an opening so it turns out that i'm also a really good speller not because i'm smart which is what everybody thought you know when i was in school it's because i have visual memory for words which sounds like a really weird thing to me but um i have it and one of my daughters have it and we did not know this at all until we were driving in the car and my my wife said how do you spell and long complicated word right and my daughter and i both signed up and it's like you know you just rattle it off and she's like how do you guys do that and both of us said well you just close your eyes and you meet it off right of course of course and my wife is like no that's not a thing you know so i wonder i wonder how you guys spell complicated words sorry for my dog and if that's i have to think of writing it i'm a visual person but yeah i i don't have a visual acuity for for um for spelling i'm i'm a horrible speller horrible speller so grateful for spell check i'm really curious i'm really curious about that i feel like those muscles have atrophied but i mean i was always a really good spell you know like i won spelling bees when i was like a kid in school but um [Music] and i'm a visual person um but i don't think i don't think i picture the whole word i mean i know a word looks wrong when it's not spelled right but it's pattern recognition yeah it's different i don't know i'm an acutely non-visual person i'm very comfortable with spelling but it's not visual i had a friend who was one of the most visual person i knew amazing painter and she told she was telling me how in exams she would visualize the page from the textbook and read that in her mind while answering questions i was like i realized for me what it is is i'm such an associative thinker that i'm building maps in my head and words don't fit into the mapping just like facts for me or names for me don't fit into the mapping unless there's some sort of story around the name that makes same same same same same right so for me that it's not really a visual thing versus a non-visual thing it's more of a of a fact like facts and dates rather rather than systems kinds of things i'm just not a facts and dates person no it has to be a system if it's not a system like like i was so good at remembering biology a lot of biology because it was systems like this this is used for that except the names of bones and names of muscles right i can't yeah yeah but i remember i used to know the names of every single brain part because of course i was more interested but i knew what it was for yeah right putting it in the context yeah makes all the difference for me too yeah but anyway sorry we're really drifting but it's interesting the the variety like jeopardy don't get me in a game of jeopardy like i die it'll take me half an hour like what was the name of the person who you know i'm still i'm still trying to understand the question i remember i remember also like having visual like i had these mind maps of things that had no there was no basis for my mind map it's just the way i drew the relationships and the distances in my head like when i was a little kid i was into you know comic books and when i pictured the various titles and characters and the marvel universe and dc universe i can still remember like you know spider-man is here and fantastic four is there and daredevil is over here and avengers are there and x-men is you know i mean it's like every everything was in a place and it was very specific and it was the same way with like car companies and you know you know chrysler ford you know gm and sub brands and where they all fit in this kind of tree this map what were the basis of those locations i have no idea but that was the only way i could like go through that those bits of knowledge and get to the sub components was in that map which i've never written down but i can still see in my head i don't know random it's your it's your mind palace alice i like that fun it's a thing yeah yeah my daughter's fabulous with all of that and she's good with remembering facts and names so it's like it's incredible she's like a whole she's a walking encyclopedia kind of person it's really fascinating to watch to have a front row seat as a parent to watch someone like develop has really been fun i've learned a lot made a project yeah um i i mean um pete i don't know if if you were exactly referring to this or and i know we back channeled a little bit in the in the meta meeting about um the um the skills and passions skills and passions google doc that you know was the kind of low-hanging fruit output of our our waterfall in in a previous meeting and led to both in the the last um skills passions meeting which was funny because i mean both of these things wendy i've like seen some of the the matter most conversation and in the com in the previous conversations about this group it's like why did this group spring into existence at the time that you were on vacation and you didn't like sign up for it or anything which you would have but it's like totally tapestry related um and we've gotten into all these questions of like what what is what is the relationship between everything each of us are doing and everybody else is doing and the most basic manifestation of like here i am i am me participating in the meta project like how do i get to know my fellow members and figure out how we might collaborate and and how does that intersect with the needs that the meta project has and you know we're representing it in a bunch of different ways and like honestly i don't even mean to be representing it all i'm like into is the idea that like anybody should be able to i mean like to me google sheets is too complex let alone you know air table tapestry massive wiki catalyst you know you know anything you know factor um and how do we make it possible for people to show up with a name tag and work from there um and um and i mean i think it's it's sort of the er you know problem in information sharing and ethical tech and you know all the stuff that we were talking about before is like we all want to have an identity and you know and and be safe in our own identity and the privacy and agency that go with like me and then we all want to collaborate and connect and just first of all be able to show up the way we could show up to a space full of strangers and say here's a representation of me and i don't have to already have joined the group and subscribed to something else to be able to have my representation that exists in their centralized way not my decentralized self and like it it's it's paralleling this debate on decentralization and it it's i i see tensions developing around it and i like have heart a hard time discussing it um and i i don't want it to be about like spreadsheet versus not spreadsheet because i don't care i mean you know i what i really want is just like you know people to show up with the augmented reality of being more than a box on a zoom screen and you know this hovering thing that says hi i'm willing to share this much with these people you know i'm this is what i'm about and this is where i am or no i don't want to tell you where i am and you know whatever it is and have that be like easy and automatic um and and all around me i'm seeing like oh i've got the solution for that or you know i've got the solution for that i've got the solution for that and i'm working at it i'm going to make it all make sense and i feel like this is this is you know i i know this is getting like theoretical and impractical and stuff but it's like i keep going back to this thought and we've talked about this in flotilla before and you know i have with various of you you know the idea of the home that i am you know my home and i like you know can be found and find you based on our willingness to share our address and you know and you can always drop something in my mailbox i can't stop you from doing that and you can always see the outside of my house but maybe i'll invite you into my living room and maybe i'll invite you into you know more intimate spaces but i'm safe you're you're you i'm me you know it's all it's all prescribed in in the physical world and you know the the postal system is key in that and that's a whole sidebar um and you know making the analogy for the postal system um but uh yeah i mean i i feel like in the meta project there's this challenge of um of individuals representing themselves in an effective way i mean embodying you know avataring themselves for a weird verb you know to to just be able to walk into the room say here i am and figure out how to connect to people and that's independent of then somebody collating that information curating it acting as a matchmaker acting as a you know hr department um [Music] delegating responsibilities making contracts you know official or implicit um and i like i'm attracted to google docs only because it seems like the dumbest you know generally available language um [Music] you know doesn't involve a learning curve for most people the other thing that honestly attracts me is and i i wonder about and i don't want to say me because i mean it's just like i wonder about is like linkedin you know like if if the meta project were a group on linkedin where like people and i mean i hate the idea of a centralized platform it's just that like everybody's already there and you could or link tree for that matter where you could like you know have some way of saying i proclaim myself to be met a project and here is who i am and like i want to describe myself and my willingness to participate in some way anyway i'm dumping a bunch of stuff but um uh um yeah that's that's i'm like kind of frustrated to find myself i feel like in a little bit of engaged in something of a conflict might be too strong a word but just sort of like tension with people i have no of no disagreement with you know it's just that i'm trying to open it wide end of spiel do you want to go first wendy yeah sure um yeah i think it was no coincidence that i was away last week like i think there's a need for these processes to be tried by quite a few different people and for all of us to come together inside the frustration to try to find a better solution and i feel you i feel your pain you know it's it's it's a lot of work to even just put together a a one spreadsheet like that i'm sure it took you hours right not that no okay sure okay good um even better then um but it's one of those like one of those things about working together that we all know we need we all know that we need some we've been describing these things inside of every group if we only had this right we've been all describing that as and we all recognize it as pretty much baseline like this is just baseline there's so many other things we could do if we could get this baseline down um and yet i have found too and i heard i think i heard this in what you were saying but correct me if i'm wrong that when we go to share like adjust the seed of it right here's just the first step that we're taking and mapping this thing there immediately we get responses like yeah but it'd be great if we could like incorporate the world and if we could right and so and this isn't good enough and why couldn't you scrape linkedin why couldn't you you know and it's like um because i'm one person and i only had two hours and this is is so i'm having a hard time getting the right feedback right being and being nebulous like i don't mean to be judgey about it but it's to get feedback that will help take what there is one more step forward right not a million steps forward and not that that feedback isn't all valuable right to help paint a picture of where we need to go or what the vision is but when the scope is so huge it's hard to create a bridge that's just the next step of the bridge right we're trying to get across the grand canyon and we all know what it's going to look like on the other side we started to have a vision of what but we need a bridge and to build that bridge you know we're trying to and we don't even know what the bridge looks like we're not sure what we're making out of you know it's brand new no one's ever really figured this out we have pieces we kind of know what this bridge kind of bridge looks like that kind of bridge but we're talking about the grand canyon here none of those bridges are going to work so we need to figure we need to figure out something else and um and so we take one step and everybody goes yeah i mean the steps sort of good i guess i can't really get much out of it could you build the whole bridge like you know next week would be really great so i'm that's where i'm i'm reading into your frustration i know that's where my frustration is is and i'm coming to the conclusion like i'll just keep taking steps i'll keep taking the next right step that makes the most sense to me from what i'm hearing not because i shared it and got good feedback but because it seems like the right next step from what i'm hearing and i'll just keep doing that until eventually the bridge is far enough along that people start going oh and the conversation starts to move so i i'm i'm with you like i don't think you've i don't know i i kind of want to curious about your comment about feeling like you made some enemies i i certain you know or like people are mad at you what was the phrase you feel like people are mad at you for maybe misrepresenting or i don't know i was kind of curious about that i don't think i went that far but it's like just like being in conflict with people that you don't even think that you would be engaged yeah yeah yeah that was being what was that about yeah yeah that that sorry i mean are you are you looking for an answer there question yeah yeah yeah clear point of clarification assuming i was right with the other some of the other stuff i was saying then that would be my next question for you which is you know where what was that about a conflict piece well um i mean i guess i mean just just to story tell and maybe i'll pick this out for uh for wendy e um you know i i had the experience of being somebody who raised their hand to execute you know a task that was asked of the collective of like let's get people together and output the skills and passions and talk about how we connect people and i did that in a google doc and one group of people came together and you know and i'm i'm thinking as i as i tell this you know like it's it's interesting one person's reaction i'm telling this in in non-personified wendy e-friendly um ways you know one person said oh i can manifest this in in my tool and um and and so that out of that that first meeting you know that was sort of where we got to and then in a second meeting a totally different cast showed up and said oh this isn't the way to do this i can manifest this a different way and and you know somebody else was saying this isn't even the way we should be thinking about it and and then i came back to the person who had sort of in a way assigned the task who said well we have to show this result of that question for the task and and doctored it some more and then we showed that and then everybody converged on why it wasn't the right way to do it and like i'm not attached to the way of doing it at all i'm just i'm just like i was just fulfilling the assignment so like the tension was sort of like what i i was back channeling okay i'll end story and and say i was back channeling with pete as this was going on and i said um i feel like a pinata yeah and or like the spreadsheet was a pinata really um and so yeah that was the thing i mean i i didn't really feel like people were mad at me um it was just sort of like it raised all these all these points of frustration yeah which i totally get i mean i feel that frustration too and but it's just a funny thing um and i and i i hear what you're saying uh i'll wrap this up because i know pete and mark and someone both want to say something i'm just responding to you wendy um but what you were saying about like we need to build a bridge across the grand canyon and we're all about three feet out building separate bridges and and like you know i'm gonna and your statement of like i'm gonna keep building and and you know hope that like i i mean i'm i'm extrapolating all what you were saying a little bit but i hope that people see that i've got a good start and they coalesce around the bridge i'm building and together we can build this this bridge across but that's the same thing that everybody's saying to themselves and i and that's not not to say that's wrong and not to say that never works and and it's sort of honestly it's the way that we're used to in in capitalist world you know i mean it's sort of like everybody's you know inventing and somebody hits on the right at the right time and wins and even in in the cooperative world where you know we're wanting everybody to cooperate on a thing that we win by having come up with the way that people are going to cooperate and it's just tough it's and i understand it completely um uh and you know i don't know how to beat it you know and and part of it is economic um you know part of it is but even for um someone like me where where i'm happy to take the pieces of my bridge and give them to someone else we're not wired anymore to think about receiving that from someone else right so even when i try to offer up stuff people go oh oh yeah that's nice and move on like i'm like no no no you know it's hearing it differently too in the conversation is part of it as well but anyway i'll stop there yeah yeah no i i hear you um sorry so pete thanks um so so that's that's one of the knots from this week uh i know of like like two or three more about the same size i think one's actually bigger um and then like a few more that are smaller that are aren't so naughty so [Music] and and a lot of it is i so it so i guess i feel weird i i don't know about which one of those to talk about even because it's like they're big problems right but the meta thing for me is somehow we ended up fracturing and [Music] which um the my my story of how that uh stops happening is is i think uh naive um my story of how that stops happening is everybody just takes kind of like rule maybe not zero but one or two rule one or two is um try to try to speak in the same place all together rather than like breaking apart right it's like oh i'm talking with three people but we're standing you know uh we're standing outside um uh we're not in the room with everybody else and so obviously let's just stop talking let's go back to the room with everybody else and start talking again um there's there's some part of that which is is right and some part of that is like massively wrong so um uh i when do i like your right next step thing that's it's similar to what i've been doing um and and actually it sounds a little bit smarter than what i've been doing i think but and and i'm not sure how i would even articulate what i but i it's more like for me i guess it's everybody should figure out what's most important for them and start doing that um and you know and look across you know look across at everybody else and at least adjust your your personal what's the next right thing so that it's also starting to align with other people's most right thing right um uh and it's kind of funny i you know really originally i mean jordan was the the reason the the most attractive thing about the meadow project lionsberg and jordan for me was jordan was always really good about saying hey calm down it's okay all we have to do is like look for the the same north star that everybody else is looking at and and we'll get there we'll all get there together um so it's kind of funny that we haven't been doing that very well for i don't know a month or two or something like that um so with all the knots that arose this week and and the the harder ones are the ones that were not in the right groups and not in the right places talking um and so like it's a it's a meta problem or a meta matter problem because um and then trying to fix it turns into a meta meta problem um you know it's like because i kind of raise my hand and say okay we're doing something the wrong way but it's gonna take two two hops of the you know of this part of the bridge to get there and those parts of the bridge aren't there so you know how do we all do that together how do we like try to make it across those hops that aren't there together or at least arrive on the you know on the on the solid part of the bridge and be able to reassemble ourselves or something like that so it it seems like you know it's not only a uh it's not only like the how do we see each other part but it's like how do we even end up in the same room together to be able to see each other and how do we end up in the same room together and hear each other be able to listen to each other so that we can talk about what we do right um yeah and then more importantly how do we recognize the moments when they come that five of us need to leap together to the next right not one person but five people now need to leap together to the next platform and um and and to time that and to coordinate it right i i do see that meta from my perspective meta project that's the genius if we can figure it out it's the coordination yeah it's not the it's not what each sovereign is doing as you're pointing out we need to have the governance structure in order to see each other right and in in our sovereigns we need people also being responsible and mindful about their role right and creating a sovereign help helps do that people don't need to have a project in order to do that there's a lot of new thinking in that for people and then i think the the the beauty that comes from it the the potential that sits there is that meta project can then be the place where things get coordinated and i mean that with with a sense of purpose and a sense of true power over being an organization that has no top down you have to do what i'm telling you to do the the directive comes from the bottom up so it has to be like almost like this this magnetic field where where all this all the stuff from the sovereigns is is being discovered and being seen on a metal level even if it's not being seen by individual sovereigns right we need mapping for that and we need sensemakers for that and we need weavers for that and we need facilitators for that right and then being able to make enough sense of that that we can coordinate something create a plan and disseminate it back out so people understand what they're supposed to be doing or being in and not even as a directive but as an invitation right not everyone's going to say yes to and do that forever do that continually and i i do think that that's a possibility but we need to get through these things first and i um i i'm going to throw out here too i think the importance of the facilitators in this role right is is can't be understated i'm starting to think more and more it would be helpful to have people trained in facilitation as emergent leaders as facilitated leaders so i mean facilitation is very usually very soft kind of term i mean it in a very powerful way of people coming into the room with the intention of bringing people together with the intention of solving some of these issues around how we're listening to each other when we're listening to each other what kinds of meetings what's the agenda for the meeting how do we want to establish what kind of feeling do we want people to leave with what kind of objectives do we have i think we could be facilitating the meetings better i feel like we could be built using them to build the community that will help like i just think all that it's not bad but it could be better and the longer we go where we're not doing that the longer we go without the sense making then the longer we go feeling like we're investing our time and not getting what we want out of it and eventually that's just going to frustrate people so that's kind of like the read i've been taking nice i like it i mean there are there are communities of facilitators ready to go do you know what i mean but they're not connected yet to meta and the biggest one i know of is through trey but she's very busy i i'm assuming i could do that the question is a similar question i think to a lot of people who've touched with meta they see the potential they get excited by what could happen the question is where's the right timing right now i feel like the only person who can say the timing is is now is jordan he's the only one who's seeing all the pieces clearly enough and so and that's an issue too because it's a funnel there that that that um that we all kind of need and i and i'm not hearing enough from him so i actually started to put together a list of all the projects i've thrown into the soup and i'm waiting and i think it's numbering in like nine or ten going we could do things this way we could do things this way we could do things i think all of these pieces are important so now i'm going i think maybe i need to make a map of all the pieces and how they intersect with each other you know just to start to say here's what my bridge is looking like i haven't even built it yet here's what my but here's what a bridge could maybe look like and even then i don't think it's fully formed and i don't even know if this helps but right so that's kind of where i've been sitting um because we need to get it out of jordan's head and and i'm not sure how to do that i feel like we could just do that or or i feel like it can just be done i guess uh without jordan so i i've got i've got kind of a list like that i've got a list of my stuff and then i've got a list also of stuff that i know of yeah um [Music] yes right and to me that's what i wanted to do but we don't have it yet and i don't feel like we can wait i'm not sure we can wait i would be working on this you know without with you p or anybody else who's interested in kind of going i would love to yeah um i don't know what the right platform is for it but you would too yeah i mean one thing i wanted to mention was if um if you [Music] if you visit the odious spreadsheet spreadsheet um you will see that there's um [Music] sort of an in-progress sheet 2 and sheet 3 which include uh one of which at least includes this sort of all caps brain dump that [Music] that jordan did while we were meeting and subsequent to i mean i had a conversation with jordan the morning before the meeting where he like came up with all those categories of sort of existing sovereigns and needed sovereigns and that became the vertical um uh you know the the the categories that are along the the x-axis um and um he also kind of summarized both um the the meta project um and uh in in in jordan east um and then also said some stuff about how he saw the projects working in relation to the skills and and passions and it's in there and i i said to him look i feel like i'm i'm going to take this out of the spreadsheet itself so the spreadsheet is just the people and the and the whatever they are need slash sovereign slash um categories and um and i think this needs some development and i mean i honestly think it's sort of the seed of i don't know if it's the lionsberg or the meta project you know kind of web page primer wiki i don't know i don't i'm not exactly sure what it is but to me you know it relates to the branding and description of what it is what the hell we're all doing um and and getting it from like bracketed slightly difficult to penetrate language to to simpler language um so i i point you to that and and also say that you know i i'm moved to try and help make sense of that um together um and i think what's the about the project page am i needed yeah about the project is is i think maybe i've i've retyped some of it in not all caps yeah basically it was it was a drag because it wasn't in something where i could say oh change case unfortunately i had to retype the whole thing but that's that's jordan's language um and uh yeah i mean this is yeah and then the earlier version i see and other earlier versions what's whip and whip too uh work in progress um and uh yeah i mean i know what what means i just mean what were they are they were ones or older ones let's see um let me just look here and see what's where sorry i wasn't looking at the document as i was describing it um so uh i work in progress two is the cleanest version of what just what um uh jordan had typed but um that's the about the project but then there was another portion sorry this is another document i'll have to pull it out that was more about um the the tasks um yeah no it's there it's in whip not whip two where it's setting up the game a starting point and then it's step by step by step is that what you mean oh yeah yeah yeah yeah i see it in there yeah yeah um yeah whip just plain whip is is jordan's original typing on top of the spreadsheet so that's what i was working from yeah yeah and so you ended up basically with kind of two things would if i'm hearing you right jordan's dump right for lack of a it's a crude term but for lack of a better right his brain dump and then the the mapping of the peoples and passions and skills right for for that came from the chat stream yeah yeah i mean that's what came first was just the and that spreadsheet document had been shown initially the week before um what came from uh from jordan wednesday morning was this this brain dump into the previously existing spreadsheet i mean what you see there in the the i guess it's fourth sheet the whip sheet is what hap what had happened by the end of my conversation with jordan and then i pruned it to the people needs thing which is what we shared at the wednesday meeting and you know was in the process of separating out his brain dumped into something else because it didn't seem like the spreadsheet was the place for the whole um treatise but you know it it definitely is an important thing and we want to put that in some form that people can consume yes i mean i um when i look at this i see two things which i think you were echoing one is something you know information that ends up on a website or ends up and and um helps to explain what the meta project is um to the average person something that can be shared by members of metaproject to other people to help them know what's going on um the step-by-step scene or i guess these three things step by step is visualizing to me is almost like a flow right we need to work on a flow of onboarding of integrating of connection some some that flows through people some that throws through tools that's what's forming in my mind and has been percolating for the last couple weeks is this need for some sort of flow document to start creating the architecture both technical and interpersonal um and so that we can start to figure that piece out i think that's really detailed and and and heavy work you know that's gonna um potentially not just conceptual but like actually what you know we'll start bringing out what we need to do and who needs to do it and what the roles are and stuff which i've been reluctant to do on my own because i really want to i think that's something that would be wise to do in in a group of people so his step-by-step to me is the beginning of that and i'm happy to work on that if that feels like that that's a priority and then the last one is the the spreadsheet of needs and stuff i feel like we already have the um that could be easily integrated it would be kind of manual but i would be okay to do i would be willing to do it where we take the profile side of the information and put in included in the air table profile side of what you know what's already been curated on the air table and then take the project side of what's been shared and put it into the project connect the people and the projects together so the first one being like bill anderson and of course massive wikis to me that would be a connection from him to to the project of massive wikis right so to identify him as somebody who wants to work on massive wiki or is or canvas wiki um we have both of those threads already established inside the airfield so it would be easy to just echo it with this new information yeah not tapestry that's just you know getting it in into the place where we've already curated some other things so we can put them together into one place if that but again like there's no point in doing all that work if we're not going to use the air table in some way or if there's a different way that people want to see this right so i'm looking for feedback from this group as to whether we think that that's the next right step together i mean one thing i would say to that is that i i do think and and you know i know p pete's initial reaction to this thing was this should be an air table and and and has pulled what the initial version of it into air table um which and and it should be [Music] in the air table stuff that that is already done for sure i mean it definitely like pulling sorry so i guess there are sort of three pieces which i think i'm echoing what you were saying um wendy like there's there's the profile which individuals want to feel some ability to show up and say here's me and and where that exists and whether they have to like be comfortable in air table to give that or can give that on in whatever thing whether it's google doc or not um or you know we have a type form or something i don't know i don't i don't know what the best way and that that's a whole you know conversation in itself that super you know low barrier to entry no barrier to entry way for somebody to show up and and self-identify um and then there's um [Music] the list of projects the list of what's now you know written across the top by jordan um identified needs you know whether whether what jordan said is right or not whether some of those things need to be combined whether there are things that are missing i mean the list of of of projects and then how that matches up with the the people who might want to be involved in the with those projects that is a bit of a matchmaking job is a bit of an hr job is a bit of a self-identification i want to work on this thing uh yeah there's a there's a lot to be clarified about that then sorry i was saying that was three things there were three things that those three things were the were the first well there are those three things then separate from that there's a sort of fourth and fifth thing i guess which is the explaining what the metaproject is a piece of of you know about about the project um uh jordan's you know brain dump there and then what you were identifying as the process that is in the steps piece of jordan's jordan's brain dump which relates to those first three like you know so how do we take the people the needs and like make them flow together as as uh subprojects yeah i i have a feeling like like you know the past hour um uh i feel like we could get a a lot farther it seems seems to me that the problem that we've got is we're trying to fit everything into the a little bit it's a little bit more than this but we're trying to fit everything all the coordination into the 90 minutes of the navigation call which turns into two hours which turns into a little bit more than two hours um i if we so i in in chat you know most of these things overlap map weavers overlaps with skills and passions which overlaps and both of those overlap with the lionsburg wiki there's a thing i don't know if you guys even know about called the start page project which is me and eric and jordan knows about it to have a a guidance you know one one start page where you could get you know into the flow of of lionsburg and you know dispatch you to the right part of i need to know more about the project or i need you know the directory or i need whatever um [Music] and then uh story sovereign which i don't know somebody here must be working with wendy alford on that right so story sovereign is kind of it also overlaps with that right it's like um taking the view that just like we needed a start page we also need um an understanding of of stories and story modeling and stuff like that um and then there's social dimensions uh which i think maybe michael you don't know about but um oh cool so social dimensions is chugging along too trying to solve things and resolve things and stuff like that and then you know then there's maybe smaller things like smaller and bigger massive decentralization my little project and massive coordination which is going to be a project on top of massive decentralization um [Music] so i feel like we're we've we've been doing a lot of work but we haven't had enough meetings where we're just coordinating right this kind of stuff because we could have we should be collapsing some of this stuff um and then i i can also kind of just see that there are um i don't mean that we need to all be doing the same thing or that we need to throw out duplicates kind of but we but we should at least be coordinating the parallel projects or the close duplicates so um so for instance the start page well maybe that's a bad way to start map weavers and the skills and passions spreadsheet is kind of should be coalesced map weavers what it's doing and the lionsburg wiki are probably like like close their their siblings and they overlap some but i think you want both of those you want it you want something that's very database oriented and you want something that's kind of qualitative and hyper graph hyper or hypertexty um uh story sovereign and social dimensions are kind of attempts at um at um actually maybe there's kind of a gradient from map weavers and catalysts to the lionsberg wiki to stories where those things are all serving the same need kind of helping people understand it and since making what we're doing but in different representations and and i guess i want to make sure that i'm not i i'm really not arguing that we want to do all those together like um like we could have a wiki that does all of that um that's the wrong way to do it or we could have a directory that does all that that's the wrong way to do it or we could have just stories and that's the wrong way to do it but we haven't been doing enough cross-coordination between those projects to you know say hey here's the stuff that we're representing in in catalyst here's the the way that we're you know here's a similar set of things that were representing in massive wiki and maybe a profile wiki or something like that and here's how all of those things flow together and work together [Music] so can let me just share a screen and i have to go soon but i thought this would be useful this is where i'm starting to think about maybe mapping some stuff this isn't flow this is just mapping so before our brains go okay there's nothing about the stuff we're working on that sits in boxes i'm just gonna acknowledge that there's nothing about the stuff that we're working on sits in boxes right it's it's all interconnected however starting to understand a bit better the unique flavor of each one will help us do the discernment that i think will help us then communicate to each other hey if you could work on this piece i'll work on this piece we'll bring it back together right so to me even though a view like this one makes it seem like everyone's working separate it's also a spiral it's also a little network right so i'm just trying to help parse it um to me there you know again there's a bunch of stuff i've been i've been promoting i was trying to use the pieces that i knew existed and going okay so we've got a media piece where website's going to be built we've got a social dimensions it's really working on relationship dynamics i was trying to start up something called the wisdom council which is really trying to read the read this read the field read the community and and communicate things from there back back to the community we've got the infrastructure pieces of um doing massive wiki which is the way i understood it was a little bit of a knowledge repository kind of thing lionsberg's done a bunch of research on governance and of course we have all the stuff that you've just done on structure pete and i'm not i wasn't sure what what what to name it then we've got the request to me this is different this this is a this is more about process and less about function so this um diagram came from a couple different sources it's i created it but it's it's based on a couple different sources and really it's about how we need to make sure we're always doing requests for guidance right which is this path how we're always doing process and program management which is this path how we're always putting what we're seeing from a meta perspective back out into the community that's this path i haven't seen this one really um emerge yet i think maybe this is where wendy alford kind of sits like and i know um trey does some of this work too where it's like you get these feedback loops like you're you're doing questionnaires on and surveys and stuff so to me this is one of those it's a very tapestry kind of thing of way of thinking because of course it's me so i'm going okay how does it fit into frameworks that i know have already been created how we're with the things that we've been that have been emerging and have been starting to codify as sovereigns are fitting nicely actually into these things that have been codified by other people in the past and it's also highlighting an area that's missing that we might want to make sure we think about so it to me both both of these things are doing that i i'm feeling i'm in my mind starting to fill in all these sections now whether we do it in this view or we do it in a chart view it doesn't matter to me what it looks like but i think there's value in starting to help people see where they sit and what you know and asking the question sometimes we don't even know we think we're doing everything having to having to do with governance and then when we start talking about realize well no you have this flavor on governance and i have this flavor on governance and so we can help to see where we're complementing each other and where we're duplicating work um i i'm just yeah i don't know if that helps it's what i'm starting to play around with i like it okay i'm happy to share this mirror with everybody and we can collaborate on it if you want to do miro um we don't have to though i would um i would like to look at it i don't know how much i'll collaborate on it um i i wonder using your bridge metaphor i wonder if i i feel like let me try this i'm i'm tied at my head now i'll try it in speech um i feel like we we started seeing the meta project bridge getting built and there's a whole bunch of it that doesn't exist but the folks on this call i feel like we we're so one of the weird things about the meta project is everybody's in this different stage of of feeling good about you know even even talking about you know working together they're people who are scared to death of talking about working together they're they're really early in that that you know that thing um there are people who actually need that bridge built before they can feel safe taking many steps you know on a creaky not bridge yet then there are other folks who are a lot further ahead in feeling bridge-like so the people on this call i feel like we don't actually need the bridge or we can we can each pretend that we're like a little drone and we can make a virtual bridge across and we can kind of see you know how you can hop from drone to drone to drone and it's like look we're doing a bridge thing you know um it's just like a bridge and everybody else is like no dude it's not like a bridge that hop across looks terrible oh no it is though we're here yes so i feel like the thing that like we've been doing the drone thing and we're even doing it you know we're doing it in reasonable formation um but we haven't acknowledged that that can be part of i feel like we haven't acknowledged that that can be the meta project too because jordan has been driving this is the meta project yes jordan has been driving like we have to get the bridge built so that people can cross it and it's like yeah you know let's just do it i think we could do it i think we can just do it yes i i feel like if a couple of these patterns of processes of how we work together could get smoothed out we'd actually already have the new thing that we need and then if the focus again is on coordination i i think i'm going to start this is going to kind of be my mantra that's because it's really screaming loudly in my head by now the the gift metaproject can give is the coordination right it's like a one analogy maybe this won't work but for me it's it's a it's a good analogy it's the parent it's going to sound i don't yeah i don't know if this is going to come off quite right but the parent i think the greatest gift a parent can give to a child is to remind the child where they've been how they've gotten through something before and where they could go with it right it's that there's a coordination that happens when we say here's where we've been i'm going to remind you of your own story i'm going to tell you where we're at right now and i'm going to tell you where that could go and then off you go again right like then off you go i i love that and i like to add one more thing um here's where you could go and you have to decide you get to decide and you have to decide you have agency you're the one that yeah which is why the parent isn't quite right right because it kind of implies that if you don't do what i for a lot of people that implies if you don't do what i'm suggesting you do there's going to be a problem which it isn't it's really an invitation right here's one option right or something so it's r and and to me that's that loop those are all the all those loops of process are really meant to help support that process so each sovereign gets a visual of who they are they get an opportunity to say this is what i'm working on oh this is what you're working on oh let me give let's give you some thoughts on that oh okay now let's let's hear from you here's what we need to ask because we know it's we meta we know what's going on across the board so we need these questions answered right now so we're going to put out a survey we're going to hear back so there and then we're going to report what we hear we're going to report out to everybody so that you can make sense for yourself what your next right step is knowing it's either aligned starting to align more with meta or your choice starting to go away from meta both are fine but you can't know that if we don't tell you what's going on then we have another one that says hey of all new people all new things welcome we're going to do a little more onboarding we're going to do a little more do you have an opportunity to do a little presentation or you have it right to all the new stuff and we're back to hey report to us tell us what you're working on and we're and it just keeps going around if these four functions have been identified repeatedly in many places right then not functions processes to me it makes sense to make sure we're working those in so that we don't all go insane because otherwise it's just a bunch of sense making laying out there that's not drawing itself together and then we're back to doing that same those same processes but we're doing them for ourselves as sovereigns it's not being coordinated so to me it's that coordination piece we're not taking away the action piece that resides with the sovereigns we are going to and we're not even taking away the coordination piece we're just upping we're lifting the coordination piece to to bring it around everyone it's an it's a tall task i don't you know i think companies struggle at doing this all the time and they can tell people what to do you know i'm tired of everybody fighting and nobody getting anything done you do it get it done right and it will happen so i think if this is not this is no small feat um but i keep this is what's been patterning for me for the last it's the magic of it too yeah and and we're inventing a new way of doing it um i think you know i think it's cool that um i think it's cool that we have flotilla as a place for this conversation um and and it's funny and and i think it's the right thing that flotilla doesn't really show up on the maps yet it will be subsumed eventually that is really funny it's kind of like flotilla is it's in a way it's it's meta for the meta project or something like that and you know it's like it wouldn't show up on the mouse because it's like above the map or like below but honestly right now this isn't flotilla this is friends helping each other figure something out that's hard you know that's what i see that's you know which is very flotilla too but to me that's we're not doing specifically flotilla things right now we're friends who've gotten to know each other we have deep connection with each other we trust each other we're sharing things that may be a little bit vulnerable like i was feeling this way or is feeling that way i'm thinking this thing that i wasn't i wasn't willing to share in the large meta project yet but it's really helped me to voice it here right so thank you to my friends thank you to friends i i felt a little vulnerable bringing up the i was bringing up but you know um so thank you i'm so glad you did i'm so glad we talked about this yeah good job i'm sorry i i'm gonna have to drop off i have a meeting at 15 and i need to prep a bit for it um for those of you who know zeke oh yeah yeah i'm meeting up with him he's really taking a lead in drawing together the the people that have been surrounding him for a while and trying to coordinate it so i'm trying to see i'm actually trying to listen into what he's doing and set up a meeting with jordan was interested in and getting to know what what they're up to so i'm trying to create a bridge so um i thought you'd all be interested in that so that's my meeting at three i gotta figure out i gotta get some food my so my main takeaway is we need more working sessions like this through the week kind of at least for a little while yeah and and my main takeaway is uh maybe and i would love support from other people like a yes about this would be good is try to advocate for facilitation more active facilitation um on the wednesday meetings so that there's more like there's more of an intention for what we want to do with them and there's more intention for what we want to get out of them not that i haven't enjoyed every single one because i have it's more yeah i feel i feel like we're not i have i have an adjacent one which is i feel like we need to get we need to decide to get less done during uh the navigation meetings that's one way to write and then take all that work and and and those are in other meetings is what you're thinking yeah but even then there are patient is a big part of that yeah and there are really really great ways to create connection between people too and so if that's the goal of the wednesday meetings um i mean i would be interested to see you know a reaction from from a group of people or even just from jordan on what process are we trying to establish in the you know in the wednesday meetings which one of those four if we were to pick one is the primary goal is it on boarding new people right is it and and helping them hear and see what's going on is it feedback loops of hearing from the community what their biggest things are what is it status updates is it communicating out is it all for i kind of always saw it as we do one each week and we just rotate you know on the big meetings um but that's not my call i feel like it's not my call to make you know but we've got other i think there's one or two more additional calls along with that call so there's the africa call and then maybe one more so already we're i'm well so i think again getting less done and doing it better and then making sure that the stuff that we didn't get done there gets done other places so we need to we need to getting my mantra i think that's smart i really really do because the slowing down to go faster kind of thing yeah and slowing down to get traction yeah yeah yeah you guys are going to talk about uh in person get together in new york i don't know if you're going to do that we'll have to do that on that otherwise yeah love you guys bye i'm going to go get lunch okay stacy you said something pete before you go i cuz like what you're saying about these working sessions like why can't we just do it like why can't you just say it and we do it like i don't know like just book the time stevenson um uh no no reason yes yes basically yes um i don't mean that that we should do it and i and i i guess i you're totally right um i always watch people saying oh this is when this is a really good idea and we should do this and in my head it's like okay you just volunteered to get it done um yeah we should uh um uh the the reason not to do it right at this very moment is because it's been a long call already basically that that's the only thing stopping me i guess here's my question i'm wondering why we don't designate like office hours like regular schedule office hours and ask that like a representative from each of the overlapping calls be at those office hours and then each you know and that would almost be like you could see how it worked out at each of those sovereigns basically because they are each of those calls if you think of them as a sovereign can figure out how to make sure that at least some of them are there to coordinate and catch up with what they've done and then we can tweak it uh so by working sessions um i don't mean or maybe a different way to say that um [Music] i i think we're um wendy said when he was when he made a really good you know what what is what is jordan trying to accomplish with these calls um it's a i want to say failure but i'm trying not to say it um uh it's um it's basically a maybe i can say this it's a project management fault kind of to have a meeting without a purpose so the meetings right now don't really have a good stated purpose um and so they and jordan has got it in his head and maybe he said it in the the email out before you know here's what i think is going to happen on this call here's kind of where i want it to go um but i don't know what i mean i could maybe try to figure it out what it is i think most of us don't know why we're on that call what we're trying to accomplish um we didn't you know we didn't plan to accomplish stuff on the call and so they're they're mushy and stuff like that the it's so maybe this is there's we have a tension in meta project about getting to know each other or hanging out and getting stuff done um and it's and it's funny to me that one of the another issue another issue going on is the whole masculine energy sentiment energy thing or yin yang uh and that meme has attached itself to the let's hang out and let's get stuff done or you know let's let's figure out how we're doing stuff and let's just start doing stuff right um that that map to me is a false friend kind of um [Music] but anyway um getting to know well so maybe we do need getting to know you calls um and those might be unstructured but taking the the two or three calls that we've got already and doing more of them is not what i want so by by working working session it's like you could identify uh you know that that list i had of projects that are kind of kind of aligned map weavers skills and passions lionsburg wiki start page project um story sovereign social dimensions and decentralization those people the people running those things should get together once in a while and say hey um can we what's what's the same thing and the different thing between the wiki and map weavers you know how can we help each other how can we make sure that we're not unnecessarily duplicating effort how can when we when we are duplicating effort how can we make it most productive for both both of us right you know so and an example of that just to continue the thought in my head not because you all need it but um there is going to be a lionsburg wiki there is a catalyst there is more or less a lionsburg wiki already there is a a catalyst thing you know if somebody posts a profile in the lionsburg wiki how does it end up in catalyst when somebody posts a profile in catalyst how does it get linked or how does it get copied over to the lionsburg wiki right and and more places than that so that's the kind of it we we kind of started doing that in today's call um a lot of today's call was um griping and moaning and and and complaining because we were sad or frustrated or whatever right but we at least identified projects that are kind of doing that drone virtual bridge thing and and you you know we can start to talk about the lines that we need between them the connections that we need between them and um maybe a new thing for it's a new thing for me at least [Music] being able to articulate the difference between that virtual kind of bridge that looks to some of us like a perfectly good bridge and to other people it looks like like air and not a bridge being able to articulate the difference between that and a fully built out bridge and for the people coming in we've got people who are on on the lionsberg calls the navigation calls who are going okay i see that you guys assert that there is a bridge and all i see is air so what's up with that and why am i even here what's what are we doing you know and then there's other people who kind of get the picture look i can see the other end of the bridge is built but there's no way to get there from here and i i don't know if i'm going to come to the next call because you guys don't know how to build bridges right so we've got this confusion about levels of confidence levels of maturity levels of of doneness you know and ways of dealing with that and things like that that were really not articulating well that we started to articulate a little bit in this call so the kinds of calls where we spent an hour or 90 minutes together talking about profiles or talking about skills and passions and how do you represent skills and passions in the wiki in [Music] bilingual plex dispatch and catalyst and how do those how do we not i guess you know we're all kind of waiting i think we've all been kind of waiting for for jordan to say this needs to be done but we don't we really don't want to i mean we shouldn't we shouldn't because we're you know we're bottlenecked already and it's just going to get worse right so to your answer or to your question stacy we should just schedule some times to work together um i think the right way to do that is to schedule working sessions with people you know who are interested in i guess maybe this is a new thing for me too maybe it's cross project coordination stuff you know so so we don't we've been doing okay on map weaver's calls or wikipassive calls or things like that the thing that we haven't had and the thing that i recognized today is we need to have calls that are across you know projects that are doing similar things but different things right wikipossy and start page and and map weavers should have another call for for all of those things together rather than just individual calls and maybe that's similar to wendy when he kind of you know called out the meta project as the coordination layer for a bunch of sovereigns working together right yeah and i know this was a long call so i'll let you go but i just want to leave with the question of maybe everything doesn't have to have a goal it blows my mind because that sounds completely wrong i know but i actually was thinking about this before i came here so when i have more time to articulate it in a better way it's really a worthwhile question to ask and so i will you know i the there's i i totally agree i i love emergence i love showing up for things and just watching what happens without a goal but but when you're when you're more space for it because i want to articulate it better because i was just listening i can't think of the name the name of the man who was just talking about it he wrote a book called difficult conversations he's a former i think former nfl football player iranu or i can't think of the name he was speaking with matthew mcconaughey and he was talking about how a goal is actually limiting and i think there's something to them there's a there's a whole interesting so i totally agree goals aren't always needed when you're trying to do something or when you're spending time people's time and attention if you don't at least have a goal of we're going to hang out together and this is how long we're going to hang out together so that it's a real common fault for people to say you know let's get together and see what happens you know um and but in the back of their mind i but i want this to happen you know if you want things to happen or if you're asking people to allocate time for you then you kind of deserve to make a goal even if the goal is we're just going to hang out for 60 minutes and see what emerges and the other thing i want you to say is and maybe i'm an anomaly but and i don't want to drown but if i'm going to drown i want to drown with you guys so i'll just uh say that um i okay i agree that's why we're all here i think all right nice spending time with you but i'll let you go bye and i just put the um link uncomfortable and then i just put the link to um emmanuel ochoa who's the former nfl player who does uncomfortable conversations with a black man yeah it was really interesting talk thank you cheers bye talk to you soon um and pete i i would like to connect with you one of these days i'm gonna kill the recording real quick first okay sure | Peter Kaminski |

jKei2ncAy9Y | https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jKei2ncAy9Y | SUB ZERO NEW VARIATION! FIRST QUITALITY! | Mortal Kombat 11 Ranked Gameplay | oh no I don't have that move I don't know who's gonna guys it is your boy your main man Jemaine flashman JB's back into the video in MK 11 finally we got another money we got another one packing heat my controllers tripping does that mean picking my analog stick bro can I pick a character without it going nuts I know I just uploaded a subzero video recently but for its time is reporting the new variations just came out for the characters every character got a third variation for their tournament variations so I decided to hop back in and play some sub-zero and play his third variation see what we can do with it I literally just finished playing dragon ball no training mode no nothing so we'll see what happens hopefully I don't get slapped by the scarlet player because I asked I haven't played a scarlet in a minute and Scarlets are very scummy oh okay creeping Isis Oh God freaking crazy in the corner I go no way dude I just I said stop what is my other move Oh God geez what the Freak is that oh yeah I think this appears now every time whenever you get hit by something it disappears now what the Freak man like I said my controller is messing up so I'm getting I'm getting jumps and inputs that I don't want this is gonna be weird and this is so awkward I hate that my controllers acting like this oh my god the connections so funky I could fail it - holy crap it's complete it was so bad in the crazy part about this is that before he accepted this match this guy had an 84 ping 84 so this man was close to me it was as close as could be connection was as good as can be and this stuff just just fell apart man what the Freak all right so i'ma try to use these moves more effective because in the corner I do have a set up with creeping ice that I can use with this I don't know everybody's new variation so far all I know is Shang Tsung which I'm gonna play with because they basically made this variation for me they made it for me every time I do play Shang Tsung it's always with the ninja like every Shang Tsung video I've made oh that's sick they call it shapeshifters training that's amazing so he gets smoked her Mac reptile and rain freaking crazy I love that you know I'm gonna play that variation that was all I played when I when I played casuals with Shang Tsung what did he trying to do oh I just threw his I caught his freakin down one oh that's unfortunate I probably should have done something else but I just threw him out of the corner like a frickin dummy unfortunately was it really worth it though was it really worth getting hit by that Wow I know the title of this video wow I can't believe it dude he he left dude the first guy lags out and the second guy fine quits don't play ranked if you're just gonna frickin leave that's crazy bro that's the first quit holiday I've gotten on ever since the official release of the game I have never gotten to quit allottee and that was awesome I freaking blew him up he could not take the slides this man you didn't even try like he literally didn't even try to open me up what it's not like I'm every other scorpion player that or every other sub-zero that player that slide slide slide slide I have to slide slide slide I slide as a punished sometimes I'll slide randomly during the you know during the match to close the distance there's no limits how many times you could slide I may slide a lot sometimes but everything aside I'm glad I got a quote ality and at the time he left was amazing because his body exploded when I pushed him through the frickin hice freaking amazing dude I was naming him right now I can't believe it dude first match horrible connection second match ragequit why did he even leave though like was he upset that he was getting punished I'm doing the proper punish for a full screen freeze if anyone plays sub-zero or you have played a sub-zero that is the most optimal thing to do if you want guaranteed damage as a punish for them doing so from fullscreen and you happen to freeze them slide is the best option 100% I was never a huge fan of Jade so we'll see what happens to here I had a feeling something was coming dang it disappeared he hit me sucks whoa I didn't want that okay game Oh yep that's my freaking dress oh no I think it I didn't want that second junk oh my god or a controller is making me jump like crazy Dane that sucks bro freakin sucks ah dang it my controller kept making me jump I didn't want to keep jumping gosh it's not like Dragonball we're jumping is freaking optimal that sucks okay those those glades are catching me free it's gonna he's gonna roll every time so I need to stop that oh no I don't have that move I don't I'm so used to my my casual variation I thought ahead ah I thought I had okay so what happened was I thought I had my rising ice move dang it I don't ever play ranked on this game so I always play casual so I just make my own very dang that's frickin sucks I can't believe it man lost the game because they and then I get hit by an overhead what the freak dude dang that sucks sucks so much stop jumping please freaking controller man that's so garbage so freaking garbage dude I lost the match because of that I got to start back throwing if he's just gonna keep on doing that he's gonna keep bashing to get text I'm just gonna start back throwing as I as I as I don't back throw could you come here please come here I get to his own character but come on that's sitting back oh nice good anti-air today oh my goodness down - down - down - down - down - down - her down - can be duck though without without blocking for sure that's crazy I didn't press a button he instantly went for freaking he instantly he instantly went for what's it called yeah he's instantly going for it yeah he just gonna keep down - Inc great command I thought he's gonna do it again so cheap I hate her play style it's horrible what oh my goodness okay cut you got it well that's it actually dang that sucks and he ranked up off of that freakin jade man jade is something jade is hard to deal with for sure especially when all this went all that all he does is just jump in the air until the glaives freak it's hard to deal with and then he's got kick and then she's got that insane down to where she just throws the whole thing at you it would be nutty imagine she extended the entire freaking staff and slapped you in the chin with it we got a 50-50 chance of whoever's gonna win in this one I may make I'm probably gonna make this the last set and with this new berry I'm not even using like the the low the little low feign that he has that I could use like to make my blocks rings safe I don't even know what it is like is it down forward three oh it's wait gotcha down forward four down back forward down forward four I need to start using that move because I haven't even used it all right all right let's try to tighten up this match we actually finally got a decent match and it was against the Jade first game the connection the connection quit on the quit first game the connection quit on me the second game the god quit on Dex the IEC was able to reach me from all the way over there nope this man's got some very long range buttons dang I forgot that movement stop holy crap he's only doing forward four okay yeah yeah gotcha I know what he's he every time he throws something out its forward four okay I got you I know what you're gonna do now like this man this man has punches but he's just not using them four four four four forward four four four why is there no punished for this why is he not getting punished for that crazy dude that's by forward four that's crazy so he's got forward four I don't even think he threw a punch the only time I threw punches was at the end it was just forward four forward four three I think is what the combo string is and then the only other mix was back three that's crazy that's freaking crazy this is ranked this is exactly why I prefer casuals a lot less chuckleheads on freakin casuals low-key which is weird I just need to find a better punish because obviously what I'm doing right now is just it's not cutting you freak man I thought it's gonna grab me again dang bro dang I stood up at the exact moment that I wasn't no no no no no dang it dang it dang it dang it timidness is what got me caught right there I need to like I don't know what is gonna do it's just weird it's like it's like bro doesn't it's like he knows what he's doing with the same time it's like he does it Oh aw he's gonna roll ain't didn't expect that all right yeah put this it's four or four in grabs it's basically what I'm getting from this guy's place table the the range on that move is ridiculous stop that's all I did why didn't I get meet her why didn't I get my meter burn okay I'm getting too eager and it's in it's frustrating me freak man I'm getting too eager to press a button because this dude is just so weird crushing blow son it off [Music] hey man that Lube just beats everything I'm doing it's so it's got so much range that he's just beating me I bashed the freak out of my down one right there can I do something oh I'm a freaking dummy I'm so eager to press a freaking button that I just bashed down to and freak man sucks all right yeah that that's it for the video if he's gonna fail me is he just gonna end it oh that's afraid oh he's looking at us yeah rub it on my face too all right that's it for the video hope you guys enjoyed it this was interesting this is why I really I don't know man I just don't like rains I just don't it's just not fun to me gosh so weird I guess I just gotta adapt better it's really my fault to be honest I just got to do better when it comes to punishing when it comes to like neutral it's hard to beat forward forward for with Johnny like it's so forward advancing the freakin e^x what is it energy energy blast is projectiles I'm pretty sure that's like plus 3 or plus 5 on block and I don't really know what the Freak to do is gonna do is he gonna run up and do down back 3 4 4 is he gonna grab it's just so funky like Johnny Cage is such a weird character I mean I feel like he's not even that great of a character he's like the most important the most mad characters he's like you got your codels you got your freakin sonja's and your freakin Cassie's you're you're crazy good characters up here then you got your freakin Johnny right here this man is like right here in my opinion and Sub Zero was kind of like like this this is sub right here he's like right here he's like he's like sorta up here he's got the mix that's like his main think about him that's really good is that the high load make sucks a lot of the stuff that he was doing was just beating me he was just out spacing me with everything when I plague his people like this I tend to tense up and I really don't do anything and I kind of sit back and just end up getting myself hit with stuff that I normally wouldn't get hit with if I was just actually forward advance and try to run up and then my controller kind of screwed me over a little bit in this video but that's not really an excuse at all it really only happened in the one video in the one Tonya or whatever the frickin aim is Jade match it is what it is that it's a it's an experience I don't play ranked very much so it's a different experience I'm I preferred making my own variations that's why I feel like they should let you make variations in rate make it as if it was like a regular ranked match why does it have to be something so special where it has cut like special pre-built variations it's not like you can make anything Oh Pete it'll literally just be casual but you're fighting for a rank instead of just playing for win-loss it's interesting it's like any other ranked game where they let you pick a character that you want to pick like Dragon Ball you can pick the same characters you want to pick they all they have all their tools it's not pre-selected it's it's like that's that's as if you one variation doesn't have a comment how many hot four Goku it's just it's just weird just weird well this has been some gameplay with the new variation we did get to quality so that's the freaking highlight of this video for sure one a percent because the rest of these matches were just garbage we got a disconnect in the beginning of the match in the beginning of the video then we got the fatality pretty good we punch them into into into nothing and the freaking we blew his body up I'm just making up excuses to help myself cope with losing if you're new to the channel make sure you do subscribe we got daily fighting and content on the channel and

0EAzqui2Elg | https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0EAzqui2Elg | 180603am - Do What You Say - Judges 11:30-31 | excuse me well this morning we're looking at probably one of the most controversial passages in the scripture and that is what jephthah did when he made a vow to the Lord and what exactly he did with his daughter that's that's the question was this the perhaps one of the greatest acts of wickedness that the Bible records or was this the actual faithful carrying out of a vow and not doing something that was sinful either way whether it's a good example or a bad example this is a vow and this is essentially how it works but again there are of course things we can't doubt and we'll take that into account as well but what I'd like to do is just begin by reading the chapter it's not a short chapter now judges chapter 11 so I'm going to read it relatively quickly we're really just going to focus on the vow itself which is in verses 30 and 31 and the carrying out of that vow exactly what did Jeptha do okay but here's here are the circumstances surrounding this and again remember all of this is God's Word and it was recorded for us so that we might learn so let's pray the Lord will help us to learn what he wants us to learn through it so beginning in verse 1 now jephthah the gileadite was a valiant warrior but he was the son of a harlot in Gilead was the father of Jeff Thumb Gilley Ed's wife bore him sons and when his wife's sons grew up they drove Jephthah out and said to him you shall not have an inheritance in our father's house for you or the son of another woman so Jeptha fled from his brothers and lived in the land of top and worthless fellows gathered themselves about Jephthah and they went out with him it came about after a while that the sons of Ammon fought against Israel when the sons of Ammon fought against Israel the elders of Gilead went to get Jeptha from the land of table and they said that Jeff come and be our chief that we may fight against the sons of Ammon then Jephthah said to the elders of Gilead did you not hate me and drive me from my father's house so why have you come to me now when you are in trouble the elders of Gilead said to Jeptha for this reason we have now returned to you that you may go with us and fight with the sons of Ammon and become head over all the inhabitants of Gilead so Jeptha said to the elders of Gilead if you take me back to fight against the sons of Haman and the Lord gives them up to me will I become your head the elders of Gilead said the Jeptha the Lord has witnessed between us surely we will do as you have sent by the way that's a valve then Jeptha went with the elders of Gilead and the people made him head and chief over them and Jeptha spoke all his words before the Lord in Mizpah now Jeff has sent messengers of the king of the sons of Ammon saying what is between you and me that you have come to me to fight against my land the king of the sons of Ammon said to the messengers of Jeptha because the Israel took away my land when they came up from Egypt from the Arnon as far as the Javik and the Jordan therefore returned them peaceably now but Jephthah sent messengers again to the king of the sons of Ammon and they said to him thus says Jephthah Israel did not take away the land of Moab nor the land of the sons of Ammon for when they came up from Egypt and Israel went through the wilderness to the Red Sea and came to Kadish then Israel sent messengers to the king of Edom saying please let us pass to your land but the king of Edom would not listen and they also sent to the king of Moab but he would not consent so is Searle remained a Kadish then they went through the wilderness and around the land of Edom and the land of Moab and came to the east side of the land of Moab and they camp beyond the Arnon but they did not enter the territory of Moab for the Arnon was the border of Moab and Israel sent messengers to Sihon king of the amorite the king of Heshbon and Israel said to him please let us pass through your land to our place but Sion did not trust Israel to pass through his territory so Sion gathered all his people and camped in J has and fought with Israel the Lord the God of Israel gave Sion and all his people into the hand of Israel and they defeated them so Israel possess all the land of the Amorite 's the inhabitants of that country so they possessed all the territory the Amorite sfrom the Arnon as far as the Jabbok and from the wilderness as far as the jordan since now the Lord the God of Israel drove out the Amorite sfrom before his people Israel are you then to possess it do you not possess what ki Monsieur God gives you to possess so whatever the Lord our God has driven out before us we will possess it now are you any better than balak the son of zippor king of Moab did he ever strive with Israel or did he ever fight against them while Israel lived in heshbon in its villages and in the roar in its villages and in all the cities that are on the banks of the Arnon 300 years why did you not recover them within that time I therefore it not sinned against you but you were doing me wrong by making war against me may the Lord the judge judge today between the sons of Israel and the sons of Ammon but the king of the sons of a man disregarded the message which Jeptha sent him now the Spirit of the Lord came upon Jeptha so that he passed through Gilead and Manasseh then he passed through Misbah of Gilead and from Mizpah Gilead he went on to the sons of Ammon Jeptha made a vow to the Lord and said if you will indeed give the sons of Ammon into my hand then it shall be that whatever comes out of the doors of my house to meet me when I return in peace from the sons of Ammon it shall be the Lord's and I will offer it up as a burnt offering so Jeptha crossed over to the sons of Ammon to fight against them and the Lord gave them into his hand he struck them with a very great slaughter from a roar to the entrance of Minnis 20 cities and as far as Abel Karimun so the sons of Ammon were subdued before the sons of Israel when Jeff that came to his house at Mizpah behold his daughter was coming out to meet him with tambourines and with dancing now she was his one and only child besides her he had no son or daughter when he saw her he tore his clothes and said alas my daughter you have brought me very low and you were among those who trouble me for I have given my word to the Lord and I cannot take it back so she said to him my father you've given your word to the Lord do to me as you have said since the Lord has avenged you of your enemies the sons of Ammon she said to her father let this thing be done for me let me alone two months that I may go to the mountains and weep because of my virginity I and my companions and he said go so he sent her away for two months and she left with her companions and wept on the mountains because of her virginity at the end of two months she returned to her father who did to her according to the vow which he had made and she had no relations with a man thus it became a custom in Israel that the daughters of Israel went yearly to commemorate the daughter of Jeptha the gilja died four days in the year as I said it's a lengthy chapter may the Lord bless his word now to our understanding well this morning is he already know we had the privilege and the blessing of receiving three new members each of whom we are now to pray for and encourage in the Lord with the gifts that he has given to us as the members of the same body and they've also had the privilege and blessing of being added to the Lord's church and again what I mean by that of course is his visible Church because they entered the invisible church when they trusted in the Lord Jesus we don't have the keys to the eternal kingdom of God we only have the keys if that makes expression makes sense to you to the temporal kingdom of God either to admit or to keep out of the church membership we don't have the ability to keep people out of the kingdom of heaven of course we wouldn't want to keep people out we want to bring people in but they entered in when they trusted Jesus and now having been examined by the session and having professed their faith they have joined themselves with us now when they did this as we saw just or heard just a few moments ago they told us that there were certain things that they believed and this is their profession their profession of faith they believe the Bible is God's words they believe there's only one God who is triune they believe that Jesus is the Son of God who became a man to save us they confess that they have repented of all their sins and that they are trusting in what he has done alone for their salvation and not what they're doing that's their profession of faith but at the same time they also committed themselves to doing certain things doing what every believer will do will desire to do because they have the Spirit of God what our Lord Jesus clearly calls us to do and that is having submitted to the Lord Jesus - Jesus really as their Lord that they would turn from the world's fight against the devil put off their sins and by the strength of Lord supplies live the life he calls them to live and again we've made the same commitments haven't we now they also promised that they would faithfully attend his worship use their gifts to serve and support the fellowship and listen to the elders if they should begin to believe or do things that would be harmful to them or to others now these commitments these promises that they've made are called vows a vow is an act of worship to the Lord it's something that we are to make in the name of the Lord only with God as our witness where we ask him for his help and we promise him something in return now it may not have seemed that way when these vows were made but essentially we have because these men have have essentially asked that they might enter the Lord's church and enjoy all the privileges and blessings of the fellowship and the gifts the communion we have with one another's gifts that being a part of this church this visible church will actually bring to them and in return they have promised to give to the Lord what it is that he desires and that is their love and their service and their worship that's what the Lord desires really of each of us now many of us here as I've said have made these same vows so we have bound ourselves also to to pay these vows remember what Solomon writes I told you I was gonna bring it up again I'll bring it up here Solomon writes in Ecclesiastes 5 verses 4 & 5 when you make a vow to God did not be late in paying it for he takes no delight in Fools pay what you vow it is better that you should not vow then you then that you should vow and not pay now I read that beforehand so it's not you know surprised you have two words as to what you had just done you know you you you made these vows as we all did in the clear light of these passages and as I also told you earlier Jesus reminds us that this really applies to everything that we say every commitment we make he says in Matthew 5 verse 37 but letting your statement be yes yes or no no yes I will do this no I won't do this I had I do believe it's important as I've been emphasizing that we we keep our word and hopefully that's something we've been seeking to do I had a friend who took this very very seriously and I could not get him to commit to doing anything with me this is when I was younger we had time to do something you know you want to go dis you want to go to do that and he wouldn't answer yes or no because he knew if he said yes he would be committing himself to doing that and he didn't want to commit himself unless it was sure it was something he wanted to do and the reason why it was because of this passage okay so that's good and he's still walking with the Lord today and I'm very thankful for that if we say we're going to do something we have bound ourselves to do that thing even if it ends up costing us more than we originally thought it was going to cost us again as we'll see in our example here this morning remember what David wrote about the one who would ascend the hill of the Lord in Psalm 15 verse 4 the righteous man swears to his own hurt and does not change John Gerson was expounding this one time he says let's say you make a contract with someone you agree to do something for a certain amount of money something more lucrative comes along and you're you're tempted to ditch this opportunity so you can take this opportunity but you've already made a commitment to do this so you need to do this even if you it's going to cost you in the end that's what our Lord is really talking about here now I've already said this isn't something we do to be saved this is something we will do if we are saved this is worship this is the kind of worship the Lord desires this is the kind of spirit he is actually given to us to make us into this kind of person now let's consider as I've said the example of this in the life of Jeptha and let me just remind you in advance Jephthah is one of those men listed in the Hall of faith in Hebrews chapter 11 so that might make us begin to think okay well maybe he did do something that was right here it's been pointed out to me the samson was also in that Hall of faith yes it's true he was but I believe with all his faults Sampson was still a believer he was that well actually we're gonna bring him up a little bit later okay so let's see let's consider this example first of all who is Jetha okay well Jeff though we read from our text was a gileadites somebody who lived in Gilead and Gilead was something that perhaps is a less familiar name but it refers to that that region that is just the east of the Jordan okay remember Palestine is typically seen as everything west of the Jordan but we've just read about that land remember this is the land that was under dispute by the sons of Ammon this is the land that was taken from Sion king of the am rights this is the land that the Lord gave to the tribes of Reuben GAD and the half tribe of Manasseh that is east of the Jordan it was called Gilead now Gilead was also the name of Jeff his father which might lead us to conclude that the land of Gilead was named after him but it was actually called Gilead I think long before he was born it's more likely this this region got its name because of the many mountains in that area it's very mountainous and just so happens that the Hebrew word that means heap of stones is Gilad which varies just by essentially one valence pronunciation from Gilead now understanding that these events actually take place in gilead helps us to understand more about why the sons of Ammon were actually the aggressors in this situation Ammon is is not you know the nut that we harvest out here and in the you know actually we call them almonds but I understand they're called Amin's around here but it's a shortened form of the word or the name ben-ami which is really referring to the son of lot okay so who are the AB who are the ammonites the ammonites are lots descendants the ones he had through the two daughters which we won't get into right now that was a very sad situation but they live further east of the Gilead so they were very close and they wanted that land now they had come against the gileadites remember who are Israelites they are Jews because they claimed that they had taken that land from them when they came out of Egypt but as we read the Israelites had actually taken it from the amorite s-- when sion attacked them after they asked permission to pass through his lands by this time they had been living there for 300 years and during those three hundred years the sons of Ammon never disputed their claim but now they are the ammonites are clearly in the wrong this is just a pretense for war so they can take this land away from the Israelites now to lead them in the battle against the ammonites the elders of Gilead turned to Jeptha Jeptha we read was the son of a harlot Gilead apparently was not well it sounds like he was having the same difficulty Samson was having committing immorality but because he was that's why his half-brothers basically disinherited them him but when they were threatened by the sons of Ammon now they need him they called for him because he was a valiant warrior because he was a good military leader people tend to make decisions not based upon principle but upon self-interest rather than principle and let me ask you how does the Lord want us to make our choices self-interest or principle we need to make them on principle they should do what's right not what's Pete well they made a covenant with him if he would lead his own people against the ammonites and when they would make him their leader and Jeptha agreed so there's one covenant but that's not the covenant that we're going to look at now secondly we see that Jeptha wins the battle but we also see how he won the battle and that was through a vow that he made to the Lord the Spirit of the Lord comes upon Jeptha and when he does Jephthah goes through the land of Gilead and the land of Manasseh and he amasses to himself an army and then he goes against the ammonites but realizing his own weakness and realizing he needs something more than just his own resources he looks to the Lord for help and we read about that in verses 30 and 31 Jeptha made a vow to the Lord and said if you will indeed give the sons of Ammon into my hand then it shall be that whatever comes out of the doors of my house to meet me when I return in peace from the sons of Ammon it shall be the Lord's and I will offer it up as a burnt offering you know every time I read this I know we're just coming to one conclusion but we need to understand there are options in the language where this could be translated differently and I'm going to bring that out as we get here as we get toward the end but here are the elements of a vow lord help me if you help me this is what I will give to you so that's that's a vowel and I want you to notice here secondly because this is very important the Lord heard him and he answered his request he gave him what he desired we read in verses 32 and 33 so Jeptha cross over to the sons of em and to fight against them and the Lord gave them into his hand so the Lord helped him as he had requested he struck them with a very great slaughter from a roar to the entrance of Minnis 20 cities and as far as able Karimun so the sons of Ammon were subdued before the sons of Israel and now Jeff this part when Jeptha returned home it was time to pay the val whatever he says comes out of the doors of my house to meet me when I returned peace from the sons of Eman it shall be the Lord's and sadly the one that came out to meet him was his daughter now when he saw her he was devastated to say the least because she was his only daughter she was his only child but even though the price was steep since this would mean the end of his family line fulfilling this vow he paid it okay he paid his vow in other words when he said yes he meant yes even said to his daughter alas I promised the Lord I can't take it back I have to do what I said I would do the Lord has done his part I need to do my part now finally let's consider what it is the Jeptha actually vowed and what he did to his daughter and again let me just mention this is not a uniform across-the-board interpretation there there are questions but actually I think this this sounds very reasonable to me and I think I think it is correct well okay first of all what do you do this is an example of how about works again we need to ask the question is it a good or a bad example many scholars believe that what Jephthah vowed was to sacrifice his daughter whoever comes out of the house gonna offer that one up some see it is maybe Jeff that was expecting some kind of animal to come out of his house to meet him when he returned but some believe that whatever it was he was going to offer it and so when his daughter came out he believed that he was bound to offer her to the Lord now if that is what Jeff they actually vowed to do I think you'd have to see that's pretty dangerous to make such a vow I think that's the one thing we often think about when we think about this fell what a dangerous thing whatever comes out of the door of my house I'm gonna offer that to the Lord's that burnt offering what could feasibly come out of your house that's what I would be thinking if I was going to make a promise like this but if that's what he had actually promised we need to understand this is one promise he should not have kept this is a vow that he should not have made and even if he made it he should have never paid it because whatever we vow whatever we promise whatever we covenant to do that is against God's will we are duty-bound to break that covenant rather than keep it it would be sin to keep it now this was the view of the Westminster assembly as they were putting their section together on on OHS and vows and they they wrote this simple statements in chapter 22 verse 7 no man and that would include women children no man may vow to do anything forbidden in the Word of God we cannot vow to do that okay well did Jeptha vow to sacrifice a person a daughter what does God think about that does he approve of that well listen to what God says in actually mm okay this this well it's probably in the words of Moses Deuteronomy 12 verses 29 through 32 he says this when the Lord your God cuts off before you the nation's which you were going in to dis possess and you dispossessed them and dwell in their lands beware that you are not instead to follow them after they are destroyed before you and that you do not inquire after their gods saying how do these nations serve their gods that I also made you likewise you shall not behave thus toward the Lord your God for every abominable act which the Lord hates they have done for their gods for they even burn their sons and daughters in the fire to their gods whatever I command you you shall be careful to do you shall not add to nor take away from it God does not approve of human sacrifice and even when he told Abraham to offer Isaac because that's one thing we often think about God commanded a human sacrifice God did not never intended for Abraham to follow through with that but it was a test of his faith to see if he was willing to do it even to do something that seemed to be contrary not only to God's promises but also to his will he knew the voice of God but God did not really want him to sacrifice Isaac otherwise it would have happened now if Jeptha had offered his daughter as a burnt offering he committed a very serious sin against the Lord but I would I would raise this question is this really what he promised that he would do for God and here's where we need to put on our thinking caps here's a few things to think about first of all Jephthah made this vow when he was under the influence of God's Spirit God's Spirit came upon him and he was mustering an army and he was looking to the Lord that doesn't guarantee that he's not going to make you know a blunder but it certainly influences you when you have the Spirit of God when you're filled with the Spirit of God it influences you to do the right thing secondly this is something I think is very key that it was on the basis of the vowel that Jeptha made that the Lord gave him the victory and we have to ask ourselves the question did the Lord decide to answer Jephthah's prayer because he promised a murder the first person that came out of his out of his house that doesn't sound like something that God would do if that is what Jeptha had in mind would the Lord have accepted that and would he have given him what he wanted I think that's a pretty good question to ask thirdly Jeptha was actually vowing to give the Lord a member of his household okay he wasn't expecting an animal to come out of the door okay now again we could ask the question which is exactly what's going on in his house does he have like livestock in the house in Mizpah did he expect an ox or a goat to come out of the door to sort of be the first thing out of the door to meet him when he returned I don't think so listen again to what he says in the vowel in verses 30 and 31 if you will indeed give the sons of Ammon into my hand then it shall be that whatever comes out of the doors of my house to meet me when I return in peace from the sons of Ammon it shall be the Lord's and I will offer it up as a burnt offering I would submit to you he was expecting a person to come out of the door to meet him and by the way here's where the translation can vary it doesn't have to be whatever it's it can be whoever comes out of the door you see animals there may have been a sonic some people have argued there were animals in this house well if I'm not sure but animals don't meet you you know when you're coming home they don't come out to meet you the way that a person does I think whatever came out he was expecting to be a person and whoever came out he was intending to devote that person to the Lord now that may sound strange but realize that wouldn't have been the first time that somebody promised to give the Lord a person well maybe it would have been the first time I was thinking about this depends on when Samson lived in depends on when Samuel lived but let's just say that it is in the Bible it is a pattern what did Hannah do when she was praying you know she was childless and she would go up to worship the Lord and she would pray and she would fast and she would weep for a child right and what if she promised to do if the Lord gave her a child she made a vow to the Lord Lord if he will give me a child I will give him to you she vowed to give that person to the Lord and that person was Samuel and he was devoted to the Lord he became the Lord's and another occasion I was thinking about Sampson here when the Lord came to Manoah and his wife he said that he was going to give her a child and that this child who was Samson would be a Nazarite from the time of his birth to the time of his death and what he meant by that was that this child would be devoted to the Lord he would belong to him he would be his instrument his judge in this case against the Philistines I think Jeptha vowed to give the Lord the first person that met him and that person turned out to be his daughter and I want you to notice too that she submitted to that she believed you promised the Lord you need to do it but first she said let me go and mourn my virginity for two months and again remember the reason why she did that was because she was his only daughter she was mourning the fact that she had not borne children and that the family line was going to come to an end because her devotion to the Lord would mean that she would not marry and she would not have children rather she would serve the Lord and after the two months had passed he gave her to the Lord I believe as Hannah gave Samuel to the Lord likely to serve in the tabernacle even as Anna committed herself to serve in the temple of the Lord after her husband died remember she devoted herself to the Lord in this same way when she became a widow and we read in verse 39 at the end of the two months she returned to her father who did to her according to the vow which he had made and she had no relations with a man now think about how strange that would sound he took her and he did according to his vow if his vow was to sacrifice her and reduce her to ashes then what's the purpose of saying and she had no relations with a man well obviously she she didn't there's a lot of things she didn't do because now she's dead but if the purpose of the vow was to devote her to the Lord to serve the Lord and she wouldn't marry and have children this would make a great deal of sense so then what about the burnt offering that Jeptha promised to give to the Lord well he paid that as well the last sentence in verse 31 and I will offer it up as a burnt offering sounds like whatever comes out of the doors of my house I'm going to reduce the ashes for the Lord but that sentence can just as easily be translated and I will offer him a burnt offering whatever comes out of my house I will dedicate it to the Lord and I will offer him a burnt offering in other words it doesn't the the personal pronoun doesn't have to be it it can be basically he she or it but it's referring I will give to the Lord a burnt offering along with my daughter or whoever comes out of the house to meet me and then one last thing that can sitter is this Jeptha is listed in Hebrews chapter 11 among the heroes of the faith because he trusted the Lord and the Lord gave him victory over the ammonites he is put in the Hall of faith for this very act and the question is would the Lord again have given him that victory would he be in the Hall of faith if in fact he had promised to sacrifice his daughter to offer to the Lord something which was an abomination in his sight it really really wouldn't make any sense so it appears that Jephthah's vow was a righteous vowel but his victory came at a very high price it ended his family line but notice it was something he was willing to pay because he had promised the Lord that he was going to pay it so let me just close with with this challenge that the Lord would also encourage us to do the same and that he would give us the strength to do the same to pay our vows to the Lord to keep our word to him and to keep our word to everyone else to be men women and children of integrity that when we say yes that's what we mean is yes that we will do all that comes out of our mouths well may the Lord give us the grace to do that let's let's bow for a moment of Prayer shall we and let's pray that he would help us | Grace Church | UCZ7nyaRDdJ484POOmCh58Qw | 2018-06-03 | Creative Commons Attribution license (reuse allowed) | en

further Ado let's have a look why did I leave Christianity it's a very good question I have talked about my story of converting to Islam in in quite detailed length on a couple of other videos uh one of them is here on my YouTube channel uh called why I'm a Muslim and the other one you can find if you search in YouTube how The Bible led me to slam by Usher Evans you'll find that I think there's one that has nearly four million views that's the most popular well known if you want to go through the entire detail of it uh but I wanted to keep this more sweet and simple and short and to the point and succinct about why I left Christianity and this is to give a call out there to Christians worldwide to look into your faith and for uh my Muslim brothers and sisters you know maybe a little help of understanding why you know um I had problems within Christianity and what ended up causing me to leave uh I was born and raised in in South Carolina born and raised a Methodist became in my teenage years more Evangelical Pentecostal uh Baptist whatever you want to call that and believing in the Trinity believing the Bible the inerrant word of God and I left Christianity um when I was 17 years old and I accepted Islam when I was 18 years old uh a little bit over a year later and this was in 1998 and I've been a Muslim for the past 24 years my major problem is very interesting to hear because he's stuck with it in Germany I saw a bunch of conversions of teenagers and 20 year olds and they however dropped all of the religion later on this is why when I hear people converting in their teens or in their 20s I can't really trust it because even if I look at my life I'm my 30s now in my 20s I did many many things which I then came to turn my back up on in our 20s we do many irrational decisions this is why to see him now in his 40s 25 years later and still being a Muslim is of course impressive my major problems with Christianity I are are too and this is what caused me to leave there are many other things that I found which if you want those details watch those longer videos but these two problems I'm going to talk about today are the reason for me leaving Christianity number one they revolve around the personage of Jesus Christ um peace be upon him himself and The Trinity and him being god um and then also the veracity or the validity of the Bible as the inherent word of God fair enough I can totally relate those are my two major roadblocks as well whilst learning about my own religion Orthodox Christianity the Trinity doesn't make sense to me I talked about it plenty of times the Divinity of Jesus doesn't make sense to me either and that ultimately led me to investigate the Bible itself just to then find out that the New Testament hasn't been written by the true Apostles of Jesus Christ this for me was a huge deal breaker and led me then to study Islam and now we're here personage of Jesus I've always been a person who has reason likes to use their brain likes to think likes to for things to make sense sure and you know my whole life I was raised being taught in the Trinity that God is one but in three unique personages yes that is God the Father God the son God the Holy Spirit and these three are all God and they're all the same person yeah and this is also part of the apostolytic Creed is that the that you have God the Father God the son and God the Holy Spirit and God the father is the son God the son is the Holy Spirit the holy spirit is God the father but God the father is not the son um nor is the son the Holy Spirit knows the Holy Spirit the father if that makes sense would you does not uh but this is the understanding moreover there is a further explanation of this that there is the essence of God and out of the essence of God those three personas spring so the one God is ultimately the essence the one God would be what is known in Islam Allah this would be God however Christians understand it that God revealed himself to us so we as mere humans can understand him through his Triune nature the idea is that we understand God as the father that we understand God as the son that we understand God as the Holy Spirit in order for us to be able to relate to him otherwise there would be no personal relationship that is the theory of the Christians and is that God is one in three unique personages and for most trinitarian Christians out there they make no distinction between them they're all equally God and they will say about Jesus that Jesus was fully God in fully um and this is where the problem comes in for me because as I started reading more into the Bible in my teenage years when I was like 16 years old I I wanted to be a minister I wanted to be a pastor well I wanted to specifically be a youth Minister I wanted to go out and preach the gospel so I decided to spend a lot of time you know reading the gospel spending time in them looking at them reading I personally was thinking about becoming a monk I want to live the aesthetic lifestyle get away from this creation and live as a monk in a monastery about the life of Jesus Etc and what I came to find was in contradiction to what I was taught to believe because if you believe that Jesus is God you believe that he was fully God and fully man as this the trinitarian belief and if you believe the Bible is inherent word of God then you're going to have a lot of trouble with various verses of the New Testament as well as you know proving the validity of the Bible from the historical analytical perspective sure for instance one of my problems is to say that Jesus is God In the Flesh and that he and God are one in the same that Jesus was fully God and fully man it goes against some of the things Jesus himself says in the New Testament in the New Testament and I could go verse after verse after verse after verse after verse but this would make this quite long um this is something I implore you to do if you're watching this video and you believe that Jesus is God then go and look at what Jesus says about himself in the Bible go read the the New Testament if you don't have a red letter Edition go and get a red letter Edition and don't read anything except the red letters and which are you know reportedly to be the words of Jesus Christ himself peace be upon him and see what Jesus is saying you know throughout the entirety of the Old Testament I read that God is one a shot in in the Hebrew language uniquely one I am the Lord your God and there is none else um hero is with the Lord your God is Ashan is one um I am a jealous God uh part of the Ten Commandments you know have no other gods before for me or make nothing else it's the first commandment God is one one one one one one one one one one and then even Jesus taught when he was asked you know what what is the greatest commandment he said I can't tell you the greatest commandment without telling you the first commandment and the first commandment is hero is you're the Lord your God is one use the same word I shot one uniquely one um and to love the Lord your God with all your heart with all your might with all your strength and then love your neighbors you love yourself he said all of the law and the prophets hang upon these two principles hmm this doesn't sound like a Triune card or God Jesus trying to tell people he is God also in John 14 14 and 28 Jesus said that the father is greater than I so if they are equal amen Jesus is fully God fully man and these are three equal uh uh um gods in the Trinity why is Jesus saying that the father is greater than him so is Jesus who is also God less than God who is the father or are they equal are they different it makes no sense it doesn't make sense the core equality argument falls apart exactly at the point where Jesus says that about the last hour only the father knows and I have no knowledge this already destroys the whole core equality argument back in the day when I grew up as a kid I was told that Jesus is the son of God I believed in God one God and that Jesus was his son whatever that meant then later on people told me that God actually incarnated within Jesus so I thought about it okay there is a God and then there is the human Jesus and maybe somehow God got into the body of that Jesus could be I don't know but then when I found out about the Trinity all of that fell apart again because if you think about it okay you have God creating Jesus now somehow God enters into his creation through Jesus fair enough but how come then that this human Jesus is equal to the god that just entered Jesus no matter how you look at it it falls apart it doesn't make any sense Matthew 24 36 Jesus was asked about the day of judgment when is the hour he said of that day knoweth no man not even the angels in Heaven nor the son only the father who is in heaven knows that day so Jesus is fully God and fully man you have to stick to that principle if you believe in that principle that Jesus is fully God and fully man you have to stick to that principle yes then why did Jesus not know or tell people he did not know when the day of judgment was going to be so he knew when he lied or he didn't know therefore he does not have the same knowledge that God has therefore he is not equal unto God Therefore your Trinity concept is is broken so I started to see these things when Jesus told Mary Magdalene before his you know Ascension into the heavens he said don't touch me for I have not yet ascended right and I am going now so I am ascending into my father and your father my God and your God so Jesus is God but he has his own God who is God the father so God the father is Jesus's God or is it it started to really confuse me when Jesus went to the Garden of Gethsemane when he was being hunted um by by the the Pharisees again the explanation of the Christian doctrine here would be that Jesus was fully man and fully God at the same time somehow for whatever reason shifting consistently between godhood and manhood I really don't understand how that is explained at some point he doesn't know that the tree is not bearing fruit then at other times supposedly he is God again there is absolutely no consistency within that argument Sadducees for the crimes of calling himself the king of the Jews it wasn't because he was calling himself God he was calling himself the king of the Jews right they they accused him of calling himself the king of the Jews because the Romans who ruled Jerusalem at the time would not have cared if he was calling himself a God that that they had they had a um plethora of Gods the point was he was calling himself the king of the Jews which would rival the uh King of the Romans would rival the Romans and therefore it was a political issue so this is why they agreed to arrest him and even when Pontius Pilate in interrogated him he didn't see any fault in him but to prevent an uprising from the Jewish population of Palestine of Jerusalem at the time because they said no if you let him go we're gonna we're gonna Riot basically they they just kept saying kill him kill him kill him crucify him crucify him crucify him he did it uh uh agreed to it in order to settle down things because Pontius Pilate if he allowed this to happen in Jerusalem his head was probably be on the stick himself so this was problematic to me big time and it has always remained problematic to me when it comes to the Trinity that if you believe that God is one in three then it always Remains the Same that God will listen I absolutely agree with this but still I have a question left and the question is why since then Christianity started spreading with the doctrine of the crucifixion this is basically my last hiccup here I don't understand if it didn't happen as Islam claims why would it have become such a Doctrine such a dominant doctrine that spread for so many hundreds of years if you have any explanation to this guys please let me know in the comment section the father God the son God the Holy Spirit are equal but Jesus himself said the father is greater than I I don't know the day of judgment I ascended to my God and your God when he went The Garden of gethseman didn't pray he said father if it be thy will let this cup pass from me so number one he was praying to whom he's God who is he praying to and why is he asking for this cup to be passed from him meaning that he did not want to be crucified because he knew that if he was which then in turn would mean however that he got crucified crucified I talk about this in longer segments which you know in other videos which we might get into detail in later videos okay but the point was that he knew if he was crucified this would be a curse under the law that he said he himself came to fulfill which is the law of Deuteronomy if any man hangeth on a tree he is cursed yeah so he did not want to do this but he said nevertheless whatever is your will let it be done meaning that he was subvervient to the will of God the father so if Jesus Is God he's Suburban to God the father but I thought he was God so is he Suburban to himself and was he praying to himself to ask himself to remove himself from this cup and that if he didn't then he himself exactly right this would be my question as well because if Jesus was God why would he have to pray in the first place there would be no prayer at all he doesn't need to pray if he is God moreover why did he go to the desert to fast for 40 days and got tempted by Satan that would make any sense either because God cannot be tempted whatsoever self would submit to his own will was there yeah you can just go on and on this made no sense to me so I'm like where does this Trinity concept come from the more I dug the Mario realized that this is a Pauline theology Paul the self-proclaimed Apostle who never met Jesus never walked with Jesus never poke with Jesus never sat with him is the one who began spreading the the doctrine of the Trinity and this is why his writings make up 13 documents of the new or 13 writings of the New Testament because he is the one who went around teaching that without Christ crucified our faith is in vain Paul this this Trinity theology because he understood that the rest of the world was worshiping a Pantheon of gods therefore worshiping a Triune God which many cultures already had would not be that difficult with Jesus as absolutely you didn't even find that within Hinduism and a crucified God is something that was also taught in many Pagan religions so it was very easy to accept and then they just Blended a lot of paganism especially the pagan holidays of Easter which is Ishtar of Christmas which is saturnalia they just Blended all of these things together and it made it very easy for the people to accept Christianity so it was more of a political move on on the part of Paul the self-proclaimed possible than anything else yes it is true because Paul persecutes the Christians the early Christians the original Christians and he crucifies them until he gets his miraculous conversion and then ultimately changes everything it means to be Christian in the first place and then all of a sudden you see the spread of Christianity within the Roman Empire Paul by the way little fun fact worked for the Roman Empire so being that there was issues with me with the Trinity I started looking deeper into my second point which is the validity of the Bible itself I started getting involved into the studies of textual criticism which is the historical analytical uh uh study of the documents that make up the Bible as we know it today the more I did that especially within the New Testament and if anyone has any doubt about this please go and do your own research into the origins of the documents of what now makes up the New Testament um there are plenty of great resources out there uh Bart Ehrman who is someone I I studied much of his writings and much of his College work not just his books that he's written which you can find all over Amazon but even his college uh um textbooks that he teaches at the University of North Carolina Chapel Hill on textual criticism and other authors of technical criticism that the more you do your research the more you come to find out that the Bible is not the inerrant word of God that I was taught my entire life but it is a collection of documents that were found scattered all over the place and there has always been long debate about what is and what isn't factual even with the four gospels themselves they are Anonymous gospels there is no um concrete evidence of any sort of who wrote These gospels um these gospels as I said previously this was the biggest shocker to me when I found out that the New Testament the gospels haven't been written by the true Apostles of Christ but ultimately have been written in Greek then when you look into it you find out that the Apostles of Jesus were fishermen and therefore pretty much illiterates they couldn't have written those accounts anyways let alone in Greek of course and therefore you come to the conclusion that they've been written by Greek philosophers are not the four gospels of Matthew Mark Luke and John telling the same story there are four different stories about the life of Jesus told from four different perspectives all of them collected uh many many years after Jesus Christ peace be upon him was no longer on this Earth there has been great debate about what we should be in there what shouldn't be and things have been put in things have been taken out things have been altered things have been Rewritten this is clearly written throughout the historical documents of scribes having written older and uh if you go and look at the older collections histor um the the CODIS codex codex fanaticus codex fanaticus you'll see all of these things you just do a little digging do a little research you'll find that many biblical Scholars even said that there were certain parts of the New Testament that clearly were not in the original documents these were latter Aid later added on in the Latin Vulgate Etc so what it came down to for me is that this book even though it is isn't an attempt the best attempt that Scholars can produce to write a document about Jesus life it is not an accurate representation of what Jesus himself would have said and spoken largely logically I can how about the Gospel of Thomas then this was a document found in the hamadi library and is seen as the agnostic gospel let me know what you think about that tell you this for one reason forget about going through all the in-depth research about textual criticism Etc do that if you would like to but Jesus peace be upon Him spoke a language known as Aramaic Aramaic which is a um Semitic language Jesus every day would have used Aramaic language he would have known Hebrew and coin Greek yes but his spoken language is Aramaic the the word he would have used to call God in his own language would have been Allah and we as Muslims use the word Allah because it means the god when God the only God ashad Alone and there is no existing document in the the Aramaic language that can date back to anywhere close to the time of Jesus at all period about what he said so what we have the oldest existing documents are coin Greek so at best attempt and then those are translated into English um at best attempt we have people who wrote down what they heard Jesus was saying By Word of Mouth that was passed on for a generation or two I think Mark being the the the oldest we can go back which is like maybe 60 years after Jesus has already gone from this Earth so people are passing word of mouth about Jesus after Paul had already been around preaching about the Trinity Etc so that was what was becoming part of that was written down in the coin Greek so nobody knows anything what Jesus truly said they wrote down the things that were being said about him in coin Greek and that became um what was known as the New Testament none of those things we can say with any deniable with anyone any plausible uh without plausible denied ability without saying that we know for sure there is no document of the New Testament not a single stitch of it that we can trace back and say we know for sure and we can prove through chain of evidence that this was said by Jesus Christ that's true so therefore what you have that was a deal breaker for based up on faith and belief that it's true that's it there's there's no documental documented evidence behind it blessed are those that don't see but believe and trinitarian Christianity is based on the teachings of Paul the Apostle simple as that Jesus taught the same Oneness of God that was taught by God in the Old Testament so that was the the basically the linchpin or hinge point which I decided to leave Christianity because if the Bible is not the inherent word of God then we don't know what God really wants from us god is perfect listen to me guys men and women brothers and sisters ladies and gentlemen however you identify yourself god is perfect god is perfect with no doubt I don't think that anyone who has faith and belief in God whether you be Christian or Jew or Muslim would that would would disagree with me in saying that God is perfect therefore that's perfect anything that comes from God will be perfect by its very nature and the Bible is not a perfect book therefore this book is not from God this was my deduction and it stayed by deduction for 24 years and this is why I left Christianity on top of the fact that I knew that what Jesus taught and preached was different than what Paul taught and preached and was different than what I heard my pastors teaching and preaching and was different than what modern day trinitarian Christianity teaches and preaches he taught you're always with the Lord your God is one if love the Lord with all your heart with all your might with all your strength love your neighbors you love yourself and everything hangs upon these two principles when I was introduced to Islam for the first time I had a very ill opinion of Muslims I had a very ill opinion of Muslims I thought that they would be the Antichrist and that they were you know terrorists Etc all of the things that a lot of you that might watch this video might have an opinion upon Muslims yes not any longer but back in the day I grew up in Germany and I hated Muslims and I hated Islam I thought they are the descendants of antichrist and you know when I first went to the mosque in my local hometown the Imam tried to the preacher tried to tell me about Islam and I didn't want to hear it I wanted to know do you have some proof because after my whole debacle with the Bible I wanted proof of the validity of a religion and I was given a copy of the Quran I was given a copy of the Quran I took the whole the the Quran home and I read it and after reading it I accepted Islam now I know that was a knee-jerk reaction yes I I had not done any in-depth detailed research on the Quran yeah but reading it which is typical for that age group that's why I say you have to be very very cautious when it comes down to decisions made by teens or 20 year olds its message resonated with me that God is one in Islam's principles were very simple to me and that is why I have remained a Muslim for 24 years is that Islam's principles are simple believe in one God alone alone in Islam is called tarheed it's called Oneness Oneness one one God alone like God says I hear Israel I the Lord your God in the Quran he says say I am a God the one only one that's it we don't worship anything other than the God who created the heavens and the Earth Universe me you the the fish the animals the star the sun the moon everything that is the only God that we worship and we worship nothing else but him this is pure pure monotheism that was taught by God through all the prophets through all of the messengers through Moses through Abraham through David through Solomon through Jesus peace be upon him and through the last and final messenger Muhammad peace and blessings be upon him we worship one God alone and the Quran has stood the test of time 1400 years plus it has stood the test of time as God's inerrant word we still have original manuscripts that were written down by people who memorized the entire Quran from heart word by word from the prophet Muhammad peace be upon him and they wrote it down shortly after his death shortly after his death it was written down and verified by all of the people who had memorized it but even so without it being a book that is written is written but without him being a book it was written it is a miracle uh it is a miraculous book in that it has been memorized and it has been preserved through memorization since it was revealed there are people who learned it directly from the prophet peace be upon my Heart By Heart and they taught people and they taught people and they taught people so it has always been passed down as oral tradition The Scholar who's taught me the Quran he can tell you every single person whom he learned it from whom he learned it from whom he learned it from a verified chain all the way back to the prophet Muhammad peace be upon him and no matter where you pick up a Quran anywhere in the world whether it be in America whether it be in Saudi Arabia whether it be in Australia whether it be new I'm ignorant on this subject I heard that uthman apparently burnt a lot of core runs I'm not sure if this accurate or not please let me know yet again in the comments section I heard that there were differing versions and then a version Prevail please let me know what you think about it deal in Norway Portugal Spain it is going to be the exact same book because it has been preserved for this oral tradition if you were to destroy every single copy of the Quran today every single one of them was disappeared today Muslims could rewrite that people can have millions back in production within a week and it would be exactly the same way that it was this is the miraculous nature of the Quran and it's been preserved through oral um tradition as well as we have documented history of how it was compiled directly after the death of the Prophet Muhammad peace be upon him so this is why it has Christianity because it was against the teachings of God God has always taught that he's one Jesus always taught that he was one and that the father was greater than him and that he that it was his God and the prophet Muhammad appease upon Him taught the same thing the only difference we find in this whole link of chain is Paul the Apostle and the people who are around him that to me shows me that if you truly want to follow Jesus and that's what it means to be Christian Christian means to be christ-like if you truly want to follow Jesus then you would follow the way of believing in God alone with Oneness with Oneness and that is the way of Islam that is the way of the religion followed by nearly uh two billion Muslims on the planet Earth today so those of you watching this do your research you don't have to take my word for anything go and look it up for yourself go and read a read a red lettered edition of The Bible and see what Jesus said himself and you will find that he taught the same thing that I am teaching you now that God has won the same thing that Prophet Muhammad taught the same thing that Adam I mean excuse me Adam the same thing to Abraham the same thing that Moses the same thing to David the same thing they all taught the same thing God is one and you worship him alone and his inerrant word today is the Bible the reason I mean not the Bible the Quran uh the reason why the Bible isn't the inherent word of God is because it wasn't meant for us it was meant for the the gospel was meant for the children of Israel even Jesus himself said I was not sent but to the lost sheep of the House of Israel so that that book was meant for them it wasn't meant to be preserved for you and I but the last and final revelation of the Quran Was Meant For All Mankind it is universal book it is universal message Islam has always been a universal message since since the beginning of time worship God alone and Obey him simple as that that is what we as Muslims teach worship God alone do what he wants you to do try to live a righteous life when you make a mistake because this is where the big linchpin comes in Salvation through Christianity salvation comes through the blood of Christ or God buying for our sins God Dying God God cannot die God cannot die I would say that God is the absolute opposite to Creation therefore if you die God does not die you are temporary God is eternal you are limited God is Limitless it's very very simple if God can die we're all in trouble God cannot die in Islam salvation comes through repenting for your sins and and holding yourself accountable for yourself in this life and through repentance we find cleansing of our sins through that repentance to God because our sins are against God we repent to God if we make sins against human beings we try to make amends to them but we we turn to God and God Alone is going to decide our faith on the day that we meet him so I hope this has been some help to you if not and you don't like it that's fine I'm just here to deliver a message I am just a message a a person delivering a message I am just a parcel deliverer and just like the postman I'm just leaving you a message and um if if it helps you I I'm grateful for that and I look forward to continuing this series on some other uh topics related around Christianity in Islam Etc but until the next one take care of yourself until my brothers and sisters out there watching May the peace blessings and mercy of God be upon you all right in this search for today's video long enough as it is I'm gonna cut it off here what I liked about his message is that essentially it boils down to Simplicity I personally believe that truth is simple in its Essence it cannot be over complicated in the Bible we read as well that your lord is not a lord of confusion so therefore anything that confuses you of course brings you away from God on a daily basis and hence cannot be from God all right guys but this is it for today's video if you liked it leave the thumbs up if you haven't subscribed already guys please do so if you want to
