10 Interesting Facts About Ethiopia That You Didn’t Know.
10 Interesting Facts About  Ethiopia (That You Didn’t Know)  Ethiopia, known as the enthralling land of  origins, is located in North Eastern Africa   and is home to a variety of scenery, including  deserts, volcanoes, mountains, and, of course,   the famous rock-hewn cathedrals. Ethiopia is one  of the most fascinating destinations on the planet   because of its unique blend of culture, profound  history, and stunning scenery. The country may   not be the first destination that comes to mind  when planning your next vacation, but it should   be. The country has been at peace for more than  15 years, and its economy is one of Africa's and   the world's fastest growing. During the 'Scramble  for Africa,' European colonial powers controlled   nearly all of Africa, roughly 90% of it. Except  for Liberia, which had a 17-year colony, every   country in Africa was colonized at some point,  with the exception of Ethiopia. Abyssinia, also   known as the Ethiopian Empire, was a powerful and  long-lasting empire, which is one of the reasons   behind the country's distinct culture. Ethiopia,  as a country, dates back to around 980 B.C.,   making it one of the world's oldest nations.  Because of its lengthy history and unparalleled   diversity of people and cultures, the country is  frequently referred to as a "people museum." With   such a diverse population, the country is home  to a complex mix of languages and ethnicities.   Ethiopia, sometimes known as the "Land of 13  Sunshines," is widely regarded as one of Africa's   most engaging and enchanting destinations.  Africa Reloaded gives you 10 facts about Ethiopia   you definitely didn't know about, ranging from  legendary beliefs to troubling times and dates.  10. Addis Ababa is Africa’s highest capital city.  With a height of 2450 meters, Addis Ababa,  Ethiopia's capital, is the highest capital city in   Africa and the fourth tallest in the world. At  roughly 3200 meters above sea level, Mount Entoto,   the highest point on the Entoto  Mountains, gives shade to the city.   Addis Ababa is unquestionably a vast, dusty,  and overcrowded city. It is, nevertheless,   the African Union's and the United Nations  Economic Commission for Africa's headquarters.  9. There are thirteen months  in a year in Ethiopia.  Although many civilizations have their own  calendars that they prefer to the Western   Gregorian calendar, the most majority  nevertheless adhere to the unspoken rule   of "12 months to a year." Ethiopia  is not one of these countries.   Ethiopians picked up on Spinal Tap's  belief that one more is always better   many thousands of years ago, and have been  counting 13 months to their year ever since,   hoping to break the trend. What does this mean  in practice? In 2017, it's still 2009 there. As a   result, astute tourism boards may easily proclaim  that the country boasts "13 months of sunshine."  8Ethiopian time. Ethiopians also have their   own way for keeping track of the hours of the  day. For reasons that are difficult to argue,   they believe it is less confusing if the clock  starts when the day does. As a result, sunrise   occurs at 1 p.m. and sunset occurs at 12 p.m.  After then, the 12-hour night clock takes over.   Make sure to ask whether the departure  time is in Ethiopian or Western time   when purchasing bus tickets or  other kinds of transportation. 7. Ethiopia has the world’s  highest number of orphans.  With over 145 million orphans, Ethiopia has  the highest number of orphans in the world.   Almost a third of Ethiopian youngsters  are missing one or both parents. The   AIDS epidemic claimed the lives of  about a quarter of these parents.  6. Ethiopia was formerly one of  the world’s poorest countries,   but it has made remarkable  progress in recent years.  In 2006, Ethiopia was ranked 170 out of 177  poorest countries on the Human Development Index,   with 50% of the population living in poverty  and 80% living below the poverty line. Ethiopia   was the world's third poorest country in  2000, yet it expanded at the third-fastest   rate among countries with populations of  10 million or more between 2000 and 2016,   according to IMF estimates. Ethiopia's poverty  rate had reduced to 31% by 2011, and the country's   GDP per capita was predicted to expand at a  rate of 6.2 percent per year through 2022.  5. Utter independence. Ethiopia is the only African country   that has never been colonized, a fact that  people are always quick to point out. And that's   fair enough. In 1935, the Italians attempted  colonisation and were successful in militarily   occupying the country for six years, but  Ethiopian soldiers fought back the entire time,   and the country was never brought under control.  As some inhabitants put it, "we waited till   they built us railways and magnificent  buildings... and then kicked them out."  4. The first Cup of coffee. Do you take a caffeine shot in the morning?   It's thanks to some Ethiopian goats. According  to tradition, a goat herder saw his flock's   fondness for a particular bush and decided  to sample one of its fruits. As a result,   his day's herding became substantially more  efficient, and the coffee industry flourished.  3. Ethiopia is a vegetarian-friendly country. Ethiopian cuisine is among the best-tasting,   healthiest, and most diverse on the continent.  Unlike many African countries, it is also a   vegetarian's dream. The simple reason is that  most Ethiopians follow an Orthodox Christian sect   that prohibits the consumption of animal products  on Wednesdays and Fridays. For herbivores,   this means that restaurants are more likely to  have a few deliciously hot vegan stews on the menu   (which also means that when you tell you  don't eat meat, they'll actually understand,   rather than replacing chicken for the  beef you asked to be left off your pizza).  2. The Rastafarian movement’s birthplace.  Were you under the impression that was Jamaica?  Nope. While the Rastafarian movement began in   Jamaica, Ethiopia is the movement's spiritual  heartland. The term 'ras' means leader in Amharic,   and 'tafari' means Emperor Haile Selassie.  Selassie is the movement's first name,   and it sees him as a divine embodiment.  Do you require any other evidence?   Take a look at the colors of the Ethiopian  flag. Isn't this all a little too familiar?  1.The world’s oldest individuals  Several archaeological finds in Ethiopia's Afar  region support the hypothesis that Ethiopia is   the place where we all came from. Donald  Johanson and Tim D. White discovered Lucy,   a 3.2 million-year-old hominid skeleton, in  1972. Lucy was the buzz of the town for years,   touring the world for nine years  and receiving international fame.   Then Ardi, another Afar native but a million years  her senior, appeared and completely blew her away.  Ethiopia is a country that never ceases to  surprise and fascinate visitors, thanks to its   distinct culture and lengthy, intriguing past.  It is now one of Africa’s fastest developing   economies and a popular tourist destination.  Despite the country’s charms, tourism is still   minimal in Ethiopia, and the country is relatively  safe compared to most other African countries,   even in Addis Ababa.

of it thank you and to to all members in the house i know as you're entering now there's conversation going on and we do have important debate statements to make so please if you could keep the noise down and we'll continue with the member from flambero glenbrook thank you mr speaker mr speaker i rise today to express how proud i am of the measures our government has taken to ease the pressures on the health care system in my hometown of hamilton days ago our health minister announced that 60 transitional care beds will be added to st joseph's villa in dundas and i can't emphasize enough how significant this announcement is for health care in hamilton and surrounding areas 60 additional beds will alleviate the stress on acute care capacity at the two major hospital systems in our city st joseph's health care and hamilton health sciences the additional transitional beds will help reduce wait times by transferring patients out of acute care and into home or long-term care settings much faster building capacity is critical to reducing wait times at hospitals in hamilton this new reactivation center will create more care spaces in hamilton so patients can heal and return home sooner the 60 additional transitional beds will be moved into a renovated tower at st joseph's villa the community is overjoyed by this announcement they've been working on this project for more than a decade and our government is going a step further we are working with saint joseph's villa in an effort to fast-track this project st joe's villa is just one piece of a larger plan to create more than 230 transitional beds across ontario i'm so proud to be part of a government that is taking action to ease pressures on acute care hospitals and supporting ongoing efforts to end hallway health care in ontario thank you mr speaker the next statement the member for windsor west thank you speaker last week developmental services agencies and families were shocked to learn with merely one day's notice that the conservative government was seeking applications for individuals and stakeholders to take part in consultations about reforming the developmental services sector last year around this time a leaked contract showed the ford government was looking to pay an external organization up to one million dollars to help find a way to make cuts cuts that directly affect people with developmental or intellectual disabilities we know that people-minded business has been retained by the ford government to carry this out families and stakeholders were given virtually no warning about the upcoming sessions and many scrambled to submit applications by the deadline with just hours notice major organizations like community living ontario received no direct communication from the ministry about these consultations and i received numerous emails from individuals who were extremely upset by the secrecy of these consultations mr speaker agencies in the developmental services sector have not received a base funding increase in well over a decade families continue to struggle with wait lists lack of housing options poverty level odsp and scarce support services available to them there are many issues that desperately need to be addressed but secret hand-picked behind closed doors consultations for the purpose of making cuts are wrong and disrespectful paying consultants one million dollars to reduce expenditures also known as make cuts well those people well people struggling during a pandemic is disgraceful i'm urging the government to scrap this farce of a consultation and truly engage with the sector and individuals without trying to save money at their expense member statements the member for sarnia lambton thank you speaker i'm pleased to rise today and announce an important investment by the government of ontario in lambton county and sarnia as part of the government's ongoing efforts to respond to covet 19 pandemic the ministry of municipal affairs and housing will be providing immediate assistance to lambton county with over 1.2 million dollars in social service relief funding this money will go towards rent relief the expansion of short-term rental supplements emergency shelter solutions and much needed renovations to the haven youth shelter in sarnia this relief funding is in addition to over 2.8 million in funding that was directed to lambton county by the provincial government at the outside of the pandemic to support critically important social services mr speaker i'm proud to say that our government is making these investments to help protect the health and safety of the most vulnerable people in lambton county as a government we are working hard are working hand in hand with our municipal partners to make sure they have the tools and flexibility they need to keep people safe on behalf of the residents of lambton county i would like to say thank you to the minister of municipal affairs and housing for his continued support thank you thank you very much member statements the member for nickelback thank you speaker i met with members of the canadian cancer survivor network yesterday they wanted to share their new patient survey with me the report shows that the delay in cancellation of cancer care due to covet 19 has triggered another public health crisis cancer patient their caregiver and those awaiting confirmation of a cancer diagnosis are facing postpone and cancel appointment tests and treatments causing heightened fears and anxiety even as the pandemic restrictions are lifted we need to get our health care system moving again in the interest of people's health safe and timely access to cancer care including diagnosis testing and treatment must remain a top priority even during the second wave of kovid the report says that to save lives cancer care and diagnosis must continue during any public health crisis speaker ontario pandemic plan must explicitly include essential cancer care cancer can't be cancelled or postponed cancer survivors want a system that never cancels treatment tests or diagnosis procedures for cancer patients i believe we can get their speaker but i have some serious doubts in this government's ability to get us there when they seem to prioritize pinching pennies and back room deals for their friends speaker cancer can't wait member statements the member for scarborough guildwood thank you speaker it's an honor to rise in the house today to speak to an important issue facing our municipalities and the people of ontario last week the government introduced bill 218 which would revoke the right of all municipalities in ontario to hold their local elections under a ranked ballot system the government opted to revoke this right unilaterally without consultation by doing so the government is taking choice away from local governments like kingston cambridge and toronto and reversing an election process that the city of london has already adopted and invested in taking choice away from citizens who already chose to opt in to this system and to participate in it to elect their local government i urge the ford government not to rush this process it's clear that the stakeholders didn't ask for this legislation many grassroots groups have been pushing for ranked ballots for years can the government demonstrate which local municipality which mayor which counselor has asked for this to be done just last night i attended a panel organized by dave meslin founder of the ranked ballot initiative of toronto and hundreds of others i can speak firsthand to the strong opposition to schedule two of bill 218 what is the government so afraid of that they are rushing the bill through no one wants to revert back to 1867 first past the post i will be voting against bill 218 and the ford government is urged to not jam through this legislation but instead listen to ordinary people thank you member statements the member for barry innesville thank you speaker this month in canada we recognize women's history month october 18th marked the anniversary of the legal ruling that under the canadian constitution women were able to be included as qualified persons and could sit in the senate emily murphy one of the famous five who fought for this recognition was born in cookstown which is part of innisfil today innisfil has a proud legacy of female achievement lynn dolan the mayor venezuela was the recipient of the 2020 woman of influence and local government award for municipal world and former south simcoe police service deputy chief robin mccleary downer has served as audi camp for various left uh tenant governors since 2002. mclarey downers started her career in policing with the opp 1981 in 1992 she broke a glass ceiling and became the first woman to serve as a detachment commander in the rank of staff sergeant in 1999 she was named officer of the year by the international association of women police after serving as

lieutenant governor dowswell i'm very happy for her i congratulate her and i'm very proud to represent a riding that has so much history of women progressing forward thank you member statements the number for thunder bay atticoken thank you speaker for ontario's northern communities air transportation is essential a lifeline for many reasons in thunder bay our airport is a hub for most of northern ontario planes flying in and out of that airport provide essential services bringing goods and people to communities and they ensure that our residents have access to health care medivacs locums health professionals police officers trades people business people and minors are all on those planes and deserve to be safe many of our cova tests need to be flown to toronto because we don't have sufficient resources to complete them but airports across northern ontario are in trouble since the pandemic airport traffic and passenger numbers have decreased substantially and now nearly eight months later that drop in revenue have them facing large fiscal deficits as the second wave continues to spread through the province and as we move closer to winter northern airports are looking towards making hard choices about hours of operation and services frankly it's not a pretty picture well there has been some help from the federal government with wage subsidies to the airport in thunder bay it was not enough at the provincial level we need to do something for airports and ensure that vital link to health care now is the time for all of us at queen's park to step up and secure the future of airports in the north the people of thunder bay and all the people who live across northern ontario deserve nothing less next we have the member for peterborough kawartha thank you mr speaker i want to acknowledge three outstanding young men from the city of peterborough just over two weeks ago on october 13th jesse davis the oldest son of a friend of mine john davis jacked his car up to crawl underneath it to address an exhaust leak and the jack failed the car came crushing down on jesse his mother-in-law did everything she could to help but jesse was in a dire situation on the side of the road thankfully tim cody and chase nadeau happened to be driving by and realized something was wrong they stopped got out of their car and immediately upon seeing the situation jesse was in lifted the car up enough that he was able to crawl out i can't thank the nato's enough for their selfless and heroic act that day it would have been so easy for them to have just driven by had they not stopped i could be giving a eulogy this morning for jesse but instead we're celebrating their actions jesse's father john has told me that he now considers the nato's to be part of his family i know the last few months have been incredibly challenging for all of us thankfully though we still have selfless people like cody tim and chase willing to stop and help a complete stranger angels do walk among us thank you member statements member for carlton thank you mr speaker mr speaker i just wanted to take a moment to highlight a fantastic organization in my riding of carlton the osgood youth center is a non-profit association that provides services to rural youth in osgood and surrounding areas normally mr speaker students would be able to drop into their after school programs or attend summer camps when school is out but with the pandemic they just like every other organization and association in carleton and across this province have had to change how they provide their services mr speaker the one thing i can say about the osgoode youth association and in fact all associations in carleton is how resilient they are and how willing they are to adapt to meet the needs of youth and students and people in the riding who need it the most and in fact mr speaker the osgoode youth association actually started doing online programs and one of the things they did mr speaker was a virtual community cooking class i was pleased to join that virtual community cooking class on a wednesday evening a few weeks ago and share with the youth of osgood my secret chicken wing recipe and homemade coleslaw which the minister of infrastructure or sorry minister of labor my apologies minister mcnaughton is still asking for that recipe but i just wanted to thank the osgood youth association for everything they're doing and i look forward to joining them in december for my sugar cookie recipe thank you that concludes our member statements for this morning the member for

Freedom of the City of Swansea by The Royal Welch Fusiliers. St Davids Day 1994
the 23rd that is the very thing there cannot have been a fusilier who did not glow with grim pride when he learnt of the duke's onerous words maguire the bergen loneguin trigwide and gamiscavorglao their cry is on the wind their blood is in the rain [Music] former royal welsh fusiliers held their breath as tom king announced the regiments facing the axe or amalgamation but as the decision came through that wales oldest regiment was to be saved they just couldn't contain their pride and joy the following will be unaffected the devonshire and dorset regiment the royal welsh fusion the fusiliers have put all their fighting tradition into saving their regiment ever since the rumor that they may have been forced to merge with the cheshire regiment a petition with over a hundred thousand signatures was collected in just ten days and hand it to government they're the only regiment in the british army to wear the black flash and they wear it with honor 90 of recruitment comes from within wales and 45 percent speak welsh it's that tradition and belonging that's so vital to the men of wales davis what do you think your success is attributable to i think the success is attributable to the very hard work done by the commerce association also by the members of parliament of all parties and also by all the local and district councils the effort has been tremendous everybody supported us and i'm delighted with the success how on earth did you manage to get 100 000 signatures in 10 days we managed to do that by getting our comrades and our friends on the road outside the barracks outside on the main high streets of every town and getting signatures what was the feeling like when that announcement came through i loved do you think it was because of all your hard work i think the best news is sliced bread it's probably the best news the regiment has had in 300 years it is definitely and to us it's very emotional and it's going to be a night tonight i can tell you derek you soon burst into songs as soon as you heard that announcement really what does it mean in your heart of hearts for it well it means so much it wanted to look at the it's something that i won't forget because uh it's my wedding anniversary today and i intended to take my wife out tonight for a celebration but it'll be a double celebration i want it you know and i'm really going to enjoy it and i'm sure when i phone it up now in about five minutes time that she'll be coming down the club to meet me and we'll make it a good night and we'll go for a meal and enjoy ourselves work very hard in this club i'm assistant secretary here so we went up the neck in it and also rephrased a little bit of malcolm said it's my anniversary today but i forgot so i gotta face the elements when i go home but it's a wonderful day for the royal rush after 302 years of serving the colours i think it's the ultimate what was your feeling you burst into tears didn't you yes i was always the moon i really was that was all i was hoping mr barnes you joined in 1932 it must have been a very proud moment for you today when you realized the regiment was going to be saved oh yes it was definitely we joined a regiment and it turned into a family for us and we've never if they took it out of us it'd be like a bereavement to us what does it mean so much to us what does it mean to wales well it's a great thing for wales today i should imagine they've all volunteered and signed forms all through the through the principality to help us to keep our arrangement and i'll say this another great thing what happened today as they've saved the queens of goon guards i had a sun surden the queen in the desert and i think it's real great they they're the welsh cavalry wealth men again and you can't beat them and the thing is you've got such a bunch here no money if you join tomorrow you'll still be one of us obviously keeping the the fusiliers means you keep the flash keep the buttons i mean how important is that it's very very very important to us i mean a battalion on a regiment wants to keep its identity for obvious reasons the cheshire regiment as i say and i i would like to say this because i was in chester cathedral of fortnight ago because i made it my business to go up there and i was impressed by the the cheshire regiments battle on us and if we had to amalgamate with anyone well i would we would have been proud to uh have amalgamated the 22nd of foot and we are the 23rd foot the thing is that it's greatly important to all welsh people and all welshman that we retain our identity as the royal welsh fusiliers what's it what did it mean to you to join as a fusilier it meant following a tradition my father was a royal welshman before me and i followed in his footsteps do you think it was important that the fusiliers were kept for youngsters behind you definitely it's their identity is second to none in the world uh there are there are great ambassadors throughout the world wherever they wherever they serve uh they're a proud regiment and their family regiment and the loss of them would have been devastating to all of wales and the future of now of course that was the announcement you were waiting for and it was the right announcement how did you feel when that came through well i'm still feeling i'm totally shaking in my shoes and my hands are shaking and it's unbelievable it's wonderful and it's marvelous and that's all i can see really on that refusal is going to raise the roof of the club tonight well there'll be a lot of taxis booked tonight yes i think and uh some people might be late for work in the morning but i think that's that's acceptable under these circumstances in 1989 the royal welsh fusiliers celebrated their tur centenary on the birthday of their colonel in chief the queen they were double celebrations then but nothing like the celebrations being held in swansea tonight [Music] is [Applause] where the hell would the army be that was on the 23rd of july 1991 and it's now march the 1st 1994 and the royal welsh fusiliers are arriving at swansea to receive the freedom of the city and together with the comrades from many different branches will make their march of pride is okay um ah hey [Music] [Applause] oh two oh [Music] [Laughter] [Music] oh [Music] thank you [Music] um [Music] drive [Music] drugs make it standards shoulders of let's get these arms away quicker stand up stand easy and relax your weapons [Music] come on come on [Music] his voice him [Applause] 14 officers 320 otherwise

standards hey [Applause] us good morning sir a core of drums band regimental pioneers and three guards formed by the 1st and 3rd battalions are formed up in the close order there are 14 officers and 384 other ranks on parade awaiting your disposal sir uh well welsh prison hike [Music] welsh will move to the right in colorado right bye [Music] so [Music] yes [Music] oh pressing right plus [Applause] he said hype [Music] together with 15 officers and 384 soldiers of the first and third battalion of railroad shoes and 125 comrades the royal australia's conference association are a close order awaiting our inspection yes oh [Music] oh right [Music] morning oh [Music] hype [Music] offices and all of the royal welsh fusiliers ladies and gentlemen it gives me great pleasure to be here at this memorable occasion today when we see the freedom of the city of swansea being granted to the royal welsh fusiliers i am personally delighted that this event has happened during my term of offices lord mayor being a former royal welsh fusilier myself and proud of it the city council wishes to recognize the famous record of the loyola's fusiliers over many years of loyal and devoted service to sovereign and country and i cannot think of a more appropriate day than seeing david's day to grant the freedom it gives me great pleasure therefore to formally present the freedom scroll to the colonel of the regiment major general cruella with the sincere good wishes of the city of swansea today the greatest possible honor that you can give and it is with the greatest possible pride and pleasure that we receive it it's especially proud and fortunate that it should be on saint david's day not only is it the day of our patron saint but it is very much the regiment special day and to spend it with you in swansea is a rare privilege it's also a rare privilege to receive it from the hand of a royal fusilier who served with distinctions with our first battalion in burma and that is very very special i don't know quite when our first association with swansea started it shrouded in the mists of time but what i do know is that caesar davies who was born in swansea in 1786 and daniel hughes who was born in swansea in 1794 served the distinction with the regiment at the battle of waterloo the battle in which not only is our history our nation's history founded but also in which there was a moment of dreadful crisis defeat seemed imminent and a gap in the line had to be plugged when the raw welsh was offered the duke of wellington was heard to say ah the 23rd of foot are very thin and i think every soldier that day will have been proud as we are proud today to be in swansea in 1825 the regiment sailed into swansea in a man of war no doubt under full sail and a wonderful sight they took four days to march for brecken takes about an hour to get there today in 1858 we had a recruiting campaign in this area and so great was the response from swansea that it had to be called to a halt almost at once because the regiment was full and so our joint histories continue the history of sacrifice is something which we both share in many wars but particularly with 42 battalions in the first world war and i might say in passing that the whole of the british infantry is only 38 battalions today the regiment suffered dreadful casualties and of course swansea suffered dreadful casualties at the bombing of the second world war but it's a history of joint service and sacrifice indeed we have a spiritual link with the city in that one of our former officiating chaplains is director of the collegiate church of saint berries here in the city and that's a source of pride as well most recent of all we owe something very special to the city only three years ago when the army was to be reduced still further we had to launch a very fierce campaign for our survival and the city of swansea and our wonderful comrades association as with all our branches of the comrades association came very much to our rescue in that crisis we stood shoulder-to-shoulder and i'm sure now that as we later in the year come to south wales the first time a welsh battalion will have been stationed in wales since i think the late 20s or early 30s we will have an opportunity to cement this great association even more firmly i have no doubt that we will continue together the royal welsh to prosper and to serve and the city of swansea to flourish so i would end with your motto my lord there floriat swansea let swansea flourish and may i to mark this great occasion present

USMLE Step 1 | Medical Microbiology | Gram Positive Bacteria | Part 14
[Music] welcome back to our med smarter lecture series where we're taking a smarter approach to preparing future physicians before we get started if you'll take just a quick minute and click that like button and also subscribe and turn the bell on so you'll be notified when we post new videos and let's finish up our discussion of gram-positive bacteria with the disease of leprosy leprosy is caused by the bacteria mycobacterium lepre and it causes what we also know as hanson's disease leprosy specifically infects the skin and superficial nerves oftentimes it follows a glove and stocking pattern where we lose sensation in our hands and our feet where our gloves and stockings go and we can't grow leprosy in vitro so like we said earlier mycobacterium leprey is what causes leprosy and mycobacterium lepre is an acid-fast bacillus that likes cool temperatures so one of the places that we can see these often in the united states is going to be in armadillos we diagnose a leprosy infection with one of two things a skin biopsy or a tissue pcr and as you can see in this picture these are some of the cutaneous lesions that we can see with leprosy this is on the thigh of a patient and as far as leprosy goes there are about two different forms that you can see and a lot of times both of them will appear but they'll temporarily fall between these two extremes before they kind of congeal back together so there's the leper mattis and the tuberculoid forms for leprosy the lepromatic form presents diffusely over the skin with a leonine or a lion-like face and you can also remember that the lion-like face is for lepromatics so as you can see with this picture here on the left this patient kind of has that lion look to his face that is classic characteristic of the lepromatic leprosy for tuberculoid it's limited to just some hypoaesthetic or hairless skin pigments so you see some hairless and white colored skin lesions that's going to be more of your tuberculoid form the lepromatic form is communicable more so because of its high bacterial load whereas the tuberculoid form while it can be passed on it has a low bacterial load which makes it less likely to be passed on to people in the surrounding areas lepromanis is characterized by low cell mediated immunity with a large th2 cell response whereas tuberculoid is a high cell mediated immunity mostly of the th1 type response there the lepromatic is the most lethal form so you think lepromatic lion-like lethal and to treat them we treat them differently so for our tuberculoid form we're going to treat with dapsone and rifampin whereas with our lepromatic side we're going to loot we're going to use clophazzazim if you found this material helpful for your studying please like and consider subscribing to the channel also share this video so that more people can benefit from it like you have [Music] you

Category 8 - Documentary - Kathleen Senior - Changing Perspectives...
[Music] rang out at Club range what I'm say what's the problem tonight we're learning more about the victims of a deadly shooting in P County officers don't know if multiple Shooters and make no mistake about it there's nothing about politically correct in a gunfight shot fire get on the ground why did y'all shoot my son still I want to know what gave you the right to shoot my son he the gunshots on this video recorded by a tourist watch as the suspect Ernest Hayes Who police say was avoiding arrest there's nothing about politically correct when you're keeping people alive and well and safe nope and and we're not getting that in return and it's and it's starting to take its toll and it's really concerning me you start pointing guns at us you can not only plan on but you can guarantee we're going to shoot [Music] you they say officers Bleed Blue they're dedicated to keeping all of us safe often times risking their own lives however this isn't how they're being perceived recently with the rise of social media networks like Facebook and Twitter is becoming more difficult to sort fact from opinion and misinformation today we'll take a closer look at how the P County Sheriff's office has dealt with this Challenge and what they're doing to reach out to the community we'll also explore Cathleen High School's Primal Justice Academy and see how the younger generation is learning to understand and respect law enforcement we use social media every day and many companies and organizations including law enforcement have also started using platforms such as Facebook Twitter and Instagram to reach out and communicate with their customers and Community the P County Sheriff's office has been using social media for years to directly deliver information and they credit this as the reason why citizens in po County stay more informed and why faulty information isn't given a chance to spread there is such a focus on social media and the information that comes out on social media is not always correct the individuals posting on social media do not have uh all of the factors or all of the information needed to make a informed decision and sometimes I think the youth are looking at that as credible information when it's not I believe uh social media has to in the news has to do a lot with that you know they show more of the bad stuff um mean know uh the mistakes police officers make instead of the good and I think social media sees the negativity of that and seem to think that that's what all a law enforcement does there is a concern that there's a generation up and coming because they are on social media so much and they believe everything they see so what that has to do for us is that has to make us work harder especially on social media to counteract the negative stuff they're seeing in TV shows and movies Law Enforcement Officers may appear to be above the law but in real life they simply are not because they have to follow the same rules as everyone else I believe yes that we we are held to a higher standard um and at the same time we may think it's not fair at times but honestly we do have a lot of power in our job so yes we do need to be held to that higher standard law enforcement officers take an oath to protect and to serve we have very high standards when we hire somebody we do a background check we do a polygraph Integrity is our number one thing that we recruit for and we look for if you break a law and you work here at the Sheriff's Office you will be arrested we will immediately do a news release tell the media tell the public communicating with the public being transparent being open and honest is something that every law enforcement agency should do there's so much content online that is spread through social media and not all of it is true often times what may seem real is really a part of the story and the spread of these partial facts can quickly cause an uproar in a community and even a nation I think that when you look across the nation and you see stories that paint law enforcement in a negative light you can't look at this as one big picture of what's going on you have to look at each individual scenario each time something happens at a law enforcement agency that puts that agency in a negative light here at our agency we dissect that we take it apart we put it back together and we ask ourselves what would we do in that situation the pole County Sheriff's Office Works to give backs to the community and raise awareness about the positive differences that law enforce enforement brings through events like Jeeping with Jud where Grady Jud takes people mudding and on the trail with their Jeeps of course they also hold fundraisers like the spaghetti dinner held here in South Florida all the proceeds went to help the Explorers um we try to change the perception of law enforcement by um setting up activities around the county like Jing with Jud uh being on social media and helping out with the parades around the cities and the county we have a social media page on um Facebook Twitter Instagram all of these different areas and what we try to do is was we try to get the information out to the public um about the investigations um that are ongoing within our community the effort to shed positive light into our community has made its way into our local school system here at Kathleen's criminal justice program the instructors are working hard to change perspective of our youth even training some to become local Law Enforcement Officers one day this class prepares students for field work in the law enforcement career and security cluster um by teaching them the basics of criminal law civil law and then actual handson applications of law enforcement such as defensive tactics traffic stops uh and many other types of law enforcement related uh activities a lot of different situations and a lot of different techniques to handle those situations so whatever comes up I'll know what to do uh this class has prepared me to be a police officer in the future because it gives us scenarios that are what the police officers do on a daily basis and it gives us the regulations and rules of what what to do and what not to do uh this class hasn't changed perception cuz I've had a positive one throughout my life because my father's police officer and he's taught me that uh police officers are very humble and they do what they have to do to be able to protect the citizens or protect themselves but you know I try to make them smile even make them laugh you know make them feel comfortable around me so they can tell me what how can I help them and you know we try to show them respect so we can earn their respect and you know we try to show them that we do care you know we really do care we're doing our jobs but you know I mean our um we want to have a good relationship with them do you have have any message for the kids and adults watching this that are still against law enforcement I do I think the biggest message is we are on your side we are there to help you and assist you when needed but when someone makes a mistake our job is to protect society and we have to uh through the laws of the state and and through the constitutional laws of this nation we have to uh provide our communities and our state and our nation with Safety and Security I'm just telling you know you know give us a chance like I work school resour I love kids you know and I'm trying to show them a different side of us of law enforcement that we're not always Straight Arrow you know we we have feelings you know we can understand kids you know and just gives a fair chance and you know we can show you different that not law enforcement is bad they're there number one to protect you and keep you safe number two to try to show you a positive role model that Deputy is someone you can go to with any issue or any problem I know some of these school resource deputies they do so many things with these kids and they're such positive influences and if you think about that one Deputy he or she is an example of the 600 plus deputies we have out there I could put any Deputy in any school today and they would be just as good as that school resource Deputy they're there because they care about you they're the ones who are running in when everyone's running out to safety they're the ones that would take a bullet for you no matter what under the the leadership of sheriff grd Jud the P County Sheriff's office has implemented strategies to keep the community informed via social media the reference to maintain open communication to the public have resulted in a strong positive image of the department programs like Kathleen High School's Criminal Justice Academy are teaching Our Generation that law enforcement officers have a duty and code that they must uphold without them our County could be a much more dangerous [Music] place

Understanding Perspectives Compassion and Concern in the Trans Kid Debate😡😨
first thing is I always tell people um if you're trying to engage in in real true political discourse you're trying to understand people don't ever start with the assumption that people are doing like evil crazy stuff I think that um when you're when you're when you start from that perspective you've already lost the ability to understand the other side so people on the left that want like trans kids legitimately feel like or a lot of them legitimately feel like there are children that are in need that have to get some medical stuff to make their lives workable basically they and I think that probably comes from a place of compassion generally speaking I think that when people on the right are fighting against stuff related to trans kids I think they genuinely believe that there are a lot of children that can get confused and then get swept up in online communities and then start taking medication or hormones and they don't know what's going on and it's going to be damaging to them and I think it gen genuinely comes from a place of compassion I think it's important to

How to Become a Leader
hi my name is Emily town and I'm a graduate assistant within the wall College of Business and I'm a member of the wall fellows program class of 2020 in this PDA we will be diving into the topic of becoming a leader we will start by defining a leader and the qualities they possess we will then explore leadership theory followed by some examples of how you can become a leader in college we will conclude with a final takeaway for you to consider when thinking about becoming a leader have you ever wondered how to become a leader what is a leader what defines a leader or even who determines who to follow by definition a leader is a person who inspires or influences others toward achieving a goal leaders can bring people together to accomplish something that their followers may not have been able to do on their own readers have a vision and a mission that motivate others to move people who are able to move others often share similar qualities take about 30 seconds to write down qualities that you think a leader possesses you when I think of a leader I think about people like Abraham Lincoln Martin Luther King jr. Gandhi and Billy Graham people gathered around these individuals and were willing to hear what they had to say these individuals possessed many qualities of leadership including integrity gratitude communication skills empathy the ability to delegate courage self-awareness and respect they knew their values and stood by them they searched showed courage in times of objection and communicated effectively about their missions and beliefs people followed and rallied behind these individuals because they believed in what they stood for think about people throughout history who have been able to bring many people together towards achieving a common goal now consider people in your own life who are leaders do they possess these qualities think about why you follow them what makes you follow them there have been many theories that have been developed about leadership including the theories of transformational leadership servant leadership authentic leadership and Maxwell's levels of leadership experts have studied leaders for centuries in order to understand the questions of who leaders are and why people choose to follow them let's take a look at transformational leadership first leadership expert James burns said that transformational leaders are those who seek to change existing thoughts techniques and goals for better results and the greater good there are four key elements believed to make up a transformational leader idealized influence inspirational motivation intellectual stimulation and individualized consideration idealized influence pertains to the f go behavior of the leader ideally a leader would have a strong moral code that guides them and that others choose to follow or emulate in their own lives inspirational motivation is the vision and mission of the leader leaders are able to motivate their followers and as we defined earlier they inspire their followers to action intellectual stimulation involves stimulating the minds of followers and bringing in their ideas a transformational leader encourages their followers to think for themselves and develop their own opinions individualized consideration refers to how well a leader addresses the needs and talents of their individual followers they build up their followers and support them now let's take a look at the theory of servant leadership servant leadership also involves four elements service collaborative Authority mentoring and foresight servant leadership is first and foremost service a servant leader serves their followers expecting nothing in return they naturally tend to the needs of others in order to make decisions servant leaders collaborate with their followers listening to their needs and ideas they have the final authority to make the decision but consider others opinions before jumping to their own conclusions they also address the needs of their followers through mentoring mentoring involves training advising and guiding being a servant leader also involved involves foresight basically predicting what is coming based on what they have gathered from those around them servant leaders take in what others are telling them and can make a guide decision about which direction to move overall servant leaders search out ways that they can serve others and fulfill their needs the next theory leadership we are going to look at is authentic leadership authentic leadership is comprised of four main elements self-awareness relational transparency balance processing and internalized moral perspective self-awareness is as it sounds being aware of yourself or knowing yourself an authentic leader can recognize their own strengths and weaknesses and live out their values relational transparency deals with honesty and being a genuine individual an authentic leader is transparent with those around them and does not hide their true selves balanced processing is all about fairness and hearing all perspectives before jumping to a conclusion or decision authentic leaders will listen to those around them being fair-minded lastly internalized moral perspective involves doing the right thing is standing up for your values and morals even when it's not easy when you bring all these elements together self-awareness relational transparency balance processing and internalized moral perspective you get an authentic leader who is led by their values is genuine in their approach and does what they say they are going to do the final leadership theory that we are going to discuss is John Maxwell's levels of leadership John Maxwell is a leadership expert and author who has spent a great deal of his life learning about leadership and mentoring others including executives in fortune 500 companies Maxwell developed a pyramid that he has identified as the five levels of leadership at the foundation is position then permission production people development and at the top pinnacle at its foundation Maxwell asserts that someone can be a leader based on their position people follow a leader at this level because they have to either because the leader is a supervisor or has some kind of authority over the follower that is given to them based on a title or role within a relationship or organization like a manager in charge of associates at the bare minimum this level is a follower doing what they are told or required to do they may have no feeling or connection to the leader or organization in order to develop a connection with their followers leaders need to move from a position leadership to permission leadership at leadership level two people follow a leader because they want to and because they believe in the leader followers feel like they have permission to bring ideas and concerns to the leader who will show them respect and Trust there is a greater connection between leader and follower because the leader knows their team and knows how to utilize and praise them effectively this level goes beyond superior to inferior relationships and following orders it involves collaboration the next level of leadership is achieved through results at the production level of leadership people follow a leader because they see the value the leader creates and the results that they are able to produce followers respect a leader at this level and are excited by the leaders vision and goals this leader leads by example and gets work done while also recognizing the efforts of their followers in achieving the goals together being a Lear at the production level also involves helping others achieve their goals the fourth level of leadership involves people development through empowerment people follow leaders at this level because they feel empowered by the leader ultimately leaders at this level should be developing and mentoring their followers to be leaders they will be able to delegate the responsibilities and further grow themselves if a leader is successful in empowering others to be leaders at the very top of the pyramid is the pinnacle level of leadership here people follow a leader because of their reputation and charisma people are drawn to these leaders because they change organizations and even have the ability to change society examples of leaders at this level include Nelson Mandela and John F Kennedy now that we've discussed what defines a leader what the qualities of a leader are and some theories on leadership let's consider how to become a leader in college when I first decided that I wanted to be a leader in college I started by finding my niche or my place on campus there are dozens of clubs and organizations to get involved in on campus so choose a few that you are interested in and participate in their meetings or events once you figure out your niche on campus and begin to participate you can discover your role within the organization are you a planner who wants to help them plan events can you bring people together to attend events do you like working on a team to develop ideas after discovering your role within the organization the next step is to lead and to lead by example a club or organization will run the way in which its leaders lead and with the integrity that they uphold some leadership opportunities at Coastal Carolina include becoming a resident advisor joining an organization within your major joining a leadership development program and even joining student government let's dive into becoming an RA some of the responsibilities of an RA include community development engagement being a team member being a role model and helping with facilities and operations you can read more about this in the attached documents joining an organization within your major in the wall college specifically we have organizations for every major whether you are a marketing major in you want to participate in the American Marketing Association or even an accounting major and want to participate in Beta Alpha Tsai you can see the full list on the website at Coastal Carolina at Kostal edu and look for the business organizations you can also participate by being an officer with on within the college so to be a leader with these you need to be at events and take action you can help plan events for the major organizations and you can also become an officer like being president vice-president secretary or treasurer there are also a variety of leadership organizations on campus and leadership programs specifically two that come to mind within the wall college are the wall' Fellows Program and the Cobie Institute look into these programs on Coastal's web page to see more about what these programs involve and how you can learn to be a leader through them there's also student government on campus and in student government you there's a variety of levels of leadership that you can get involved with at its lowest level is becoming a senator then you can become a committee chair and be involved with the different committees that the student government has and then you can also participate on the Executive Board so in the Executive Board there's the president vice president vice president of finance and then the vice president of public relations and they also have a chief of staff position and chief of justice position so now that we've talked about leadership and how to become a leader and become involved on campus I want to leave you with this quote by Anne fudge who is a CEO of Young & Rubicam leadership is leaving something lasting whether it is how you treat people or how you deal with a problem so don't forget that even though you have may have a mission or goal in mind you must treat people well and then learn how to deal with the problem well thank you for listening and have a great day

realize that divine forces are working in our lives out of love and compassion your guardian angels will send you messages in a variety of forms but they can only intervene in our lives if we ask them for help so your guardian angels use angel numbers to send important information whether you have asked or not numbers carry information in the form of a unique vibrational frequency with meanings

Sarah Stone - Tableau Conference 2014 - theCUBE
live from seattle washington it's thecube at tableau conference 2014 brought to you by headline sponsor tableau here are your hosts john furrier and jeff kelly okay welcome back everyone we're here live in seattle washington for tableau's user technology conference data 14. this is thecube our flagship program we go out to the events they strike the silicon noise some say the espn of tech we've been called i'm john furrier the founder of siliconangle and our next guest is sarah stone marketing advertising manager for the texas rangers and i had to weave in that espn of tech comments welcome to the cube thank you the uh we love the uh doing the kind of the talk sports center kind of you know analysis but sports is about really technology these days and one of the things that we find fascinating is um you know you have the moneyball book michael lewis was the keynote here you got his autograph great stuff but that's opening up everyone's eyes to the fact that okay you can use technology now in all businesses in all verticals sports is no different than any other vertical um so tell us what's going on with you in the in the rangers their data you become the data czar with tableau tell us how it all got started well working in the front office for the texas rangers is a lot of fun and we're starting to see the channeling of the whole sabermetrics moneyball spirit from the baseball side and bringing it to the business side of operations so we sort of started out in marketing and advertising was saying hey let's look let's take a look at our past attendance and see have our media buys and advertising flights really moved attendance on certain days has placing a bobble head on a tuesday instead of a saturday driven more premium inventory to be bought so we're trying to bring that sort of analytic like let's actually look at the data approach to the business side of the front office so how did you get there was it just woke up one morning said i'm going to do this or did it come down from the top was it kind of just came together well in my previous job in political advertising i worked with tableau a lot so when i started working for the rangers a year ago i said hey i think there's this program that could help us out that could help us look at our data so it really just started honestly with looking at promotions and giveaways in the 2013 season and we actually saw a lift on tuesdays in attendance due to these all fan giveaways and we presented it at a board meeting and it was really these two slides that showed a simple fact and increase in attendance that got the kind of um the leadership thinking okay this is a software we could use yeah i was joking with the tableau guys earlier and jeff kelly who's out uh doing some interviews on the floor about this we're living in an api economy but and also this other theme we've been kicking around the notification economy you get your facebook notifications on your iphone in a way that's this is what you're doing your tableau is allowing you to present the data and and get the attention management saying hey you know bing data point notify is that the value of tableau in your opinion is that the magic yeah i think so i think one thing that's been really great um using table in the organization that it allows us to connect directly to like our ticketing database for example and although we had you know live connections and certain people could go in there and see what sales look like for a certain game being able to connect to that database with tableau and then get these live updates allows all sorts of users within the front office to go in there and get the same information so it's really disseminated this real-time information in an easily to ingest format so sarah let me get this right then you had the secret weapon in your back pocket you walked in crafted up some data showed everyone and boom home run i wouldn't say exactly like that it's really cool to see the collaboration that's taken place um in our in our office environment and i think once you show people in different departments hey like this can help you understand your data and you help them build their own dashboard say in finance or like the box office that's really kind of what caught fire and the collaboration through the whole organization has been really exciting well i think that's awesome one of the things we always say here in the cube is we're living in an era where you can measure everything now so the data's there the question is what are you going to how do you get it in and then who and what is analyzed around it so um what other insights have you have you discovered what other aha moments have you had that were like blob that blew you away like oh my god that's amazing i never would have saw that well recently um people in our iot department were looking at finance data and they were looking at our cell phone expenses and you know being in baseball scouts are traveling internationally and those are going to be really expensive cell phone bills so in a spreadsheet that would normally like not look very exciting they connected it to tableau and it came really apparent like who were the biggest offenders you know and like what departments are spinning the most and so that was kind of a recent success story for us to say hey let's apply this to like another sort of data set um and it got people excited so it's kind of a boring example of like cell phone data but it was really exciting throughout the organization but that's that's that's business operations i mean that's basically like you'd say well slap on the wrist for talking too much or hey they're doing deals right so you kind of know wait a minute you're on the phone there's no deals what's happening or just get whatsapp or maybe maybe that's not the right sanctioned approach but um what are the what are the things that that you um enjoy about tableau share the story around the collaboration because the community of tableau is pretty not pretty very strong so were you alone in this do you have co-workers has it been spreading like kool-aid thankfully um there's some key like tableau advocates some of my co-workers in different departments and we actually get together and we form our own little group like an analytics ops group we have our own kind of geeky name which is fun um but one of the things i love about tableau is that it's pretty easy to teach to people right it's really user friendly and i'm not like a data person or an iet person i'm just like in marketing and advertising but i learned how to use tableau and i can teach it to people in ticket sales in the box office and finance um i think one of the most exciting things is to see how other people once they get connected and know how to use it how they get excited um and the work we sit together will lock ourselves in an office that's not being used and just start jamming away and you know the i.t person will know well here let me write the query for that the ticket sales person will know i know what this data this like field in the database means and i could say well here let me show you how to make it in tableau and it really we all get together and make dashboards you have a tableau party you all have we do you're turning people into data geeks well we kind of well we're kind of geeky anyways we love numbers i mean baseball is a game of numbers and so it's really fun to see that on the business side yeah that's exciting so so what so we we look at the technology out there in sports teams there's a huge trend to essentially use technology across all aspects of organization operations managing the team managing club front office and then the fan experience has the tableau formula move to the fan experience piece yet looking at other data inside the stadium you know that's something we're moving forwards to we haven't really done much of that yet um one of our kind of dream goals is to have a live dashboard for game time use it has concessions data and parking data the box score weather data ticket scan data so we can know where people are what areas are congested maybe change your staffing based off of that so we haven't quite gotten there but it's where we want to head so when we were doing a live interview at uh at t park where the giants are we were kind of geeking out on all their geekness and i said i said to the uh when we were doing the broadcast i said we're going to go to all the parks and we're going to grade them on their tech so i got to ask you how would you grade the rangers on their overall tech adoption um great getting there or low well i don't know if it's quite up to silicon valley san francisco giant standards but i would say it's pretty it's pretty good i mean it's obviously a priority for us in a focus we have a great social media team who's always keeping the fans updated a really great in uh park entertainment group that's always you know trying to trying to you know include all the social media stuff during the in-game experience so i would say it's on the great side yeah yeah i mean i was talking to the guy who was cio for the dallas cowboys and he was telling me about um some coolness that they had which was like they based they have data that looks at the fan uh sentiment on wins and losses and what they do is they can raise prices of the jerseys and the drinks based upon certain things and they say certain sporting events they drink a lot so they raise the prices or when they lose they sell less jerseys so they drop the price right so it's kind of the real time kicks in there um are you guys using any real-time stuff in some of the the ad buys that you're doing are you looking at real-time data or is it more of a historical data set right now it's more historical i mean we're basing off pre-previous seasons and how the teams were formed on like you know their win-loss history and looking at certain days of the week um so we're trying to be more reactionary we can change out our creative pretty easily but you know if we wanted to say move like resources funds from one media flight to support another home stand we could totally do that so we're aware of those things we're trying to become more nimble well thanks for coming on thecube i want you to share to the folks watching um that might not be completely addicted to tableau software or had the kool-aid injection how to get started why tableau is it as good as what people say just how do they get started share some advice just on your peers right so we got started the rangers by going to tableau software.com and just downloading a trial version right so that's how this whole ball got rolling um find your favorite excel spreadsheet of data that you're used to working with that you know and connect to that through tableau they have a lot of great resources on their websites videos to watch of how-to's maybe watch a few of those connect to your favorite spreadsheet the data that you know and then start playing around and that's really the beauty in the fun of it is you can't really make any mistakes you can just go in there and experiment yeah it's really iterative it's really and the whole storytelling thing although it's a little bit kind of a marketing thing now but it really is about no one gets the story right the first time no one no one can knock the presentation out without doing a dry run so whatever your metaphor is their model of getting data and and just getting your hands on it is the right way i mean having the the you know the one answer to one query isn't the way to go um sarah thanks for coming on thecube really appreciate it uh great conference what do you think about the event this is a wonderful it's so much fun it's over the top i mean who knew a bunch of data geeks could be like this extroverted and fun it's wonderful they are fun aren't they they are a lot of fun yeah tables they play hard and work hard that's the company culture we are here live in seattle this is thecube i'm john furrier we'll be right back with our next guest after this short break foreign

Unlocking New Capabilities for the Web (Google I/O ’19)
[Music] [Applause] whoever is excited about that capabilities and project fugu whoa right awesome so my name is Tom and I'm a developer advocate at the web team at Google and I see the web as the universal development platform and when I describe my role I tend to say my job is to enable developers to do anything they want to do on the web they want to do on anything they do on the web and I expect them to do on native and I'm Pete I'm also a developer advocate on the web team I love my job because I kind of look at it as I get to take all of the sharp edges off new web tech and make it easier for you to use now I'll admit I am a little bit biased I kind of love the web I think the web is the best platform out there what I love is this scale right it reaches users all around the world essentially on any device it's easy to use and easy to share there's nothing to install it just works but most importantly it's an open ecosystem that anyone can use or build on almost everything I do today I do on the web I've got a tab open to Gmail and calendar and drive I do all my code reviews in github I'm write all of my samples and stuff to make your lives a little bit easier on a glitch to try and just its hold on the web it's kind of awesome and in the last couple of years the capabilities of the web have grown tremendously with things like web USB camera controls media recording and so much more but let's be honest the web does have some limitations and there are some apps that are just not possible to build on the web today if you want to build something that interacts with local files on the user system nope can't do it want to do something that interacts with the users contacts on their on their phone sorry nope one a register is a share target so you can receive shares sad panda and as cute as it is it's still a sad panda right we call this the app gap the gap between what's possible on the web today and what's possible on native and on the chrome team we want to change that gap we think web apps should be able to do anything that native apps can we want to remove yeah who was that who yeah all right we want to remove those limitations and so that you can build and deliver apps that were never possible before on the open web without requiring some kind of framework or anything like that just straight on the open web we've been working to close this gap for some time now and with things like the web app manifest which makes it easier to create an installed experience with service workers that allow you to get that performance and reliability that users expect from an installed experience web assembly that gets you closer to the metal and so much more but some of these features that we're gonna talk about over the next 40 minutes or so seem a little scary at first especially when you consider how they're implemented on native but the web is inherently safer than native opening a web page should never be scary right adding these new features needs to be done in a way that respects user privacy trust security and the core tenants of the web our internal code name for this project kind of alludes to that project fugu fugu is a type of fish that when it's cut properly is considered a delicacy and if you've ever gotten to try it it is pretty delicious but it's also poisonous you cut that sucker the wrong way and you're dead like that's that's it we look at these features it's the same way we need to do them in a way that is absolutely right so nothing should ever be granted access by default instead they should rely on a permission model puts the user in control right and is easily revocable it needs to be crystal clear when all of these api's are being used and how they're being used we've got a good white paper there that dives deeper into some of our thinking around this so you can check that out now obviously there's a ton more I could talk I could talk this whole session about the security model for all these things but that's not all that exciting so every one of these api's needs to be done in a way that balances the needs of you the developer with the needs of keeping our users and their data safe users should never be put at risk simply by going to a webpage now we've identified about 75 features that we think are critical to closing that app gap and I'm sure there are probably many more you can see the stuff that world currently looking at by going to see our bug comm and looking for bugs that are tagged proj fugu now guiding a feature from sort of that idea to a standard standardized shipped API is important to us and I showed this quote earlier but I want to show it again because I think it's really important as we work on these it's really important that we maintain the core tenets of the web that means that we're designing these and building them as web standards everything I'm going to talk about is a web standard and I'm really kind of psyched about the fact that other browser vendors are getting involved in this Microsoft is actively working on several new features including app icon shortcuts and Intel implemented the generic censors API and they're currently working on wakelock and web NFC so how do we do this well the first step is we identify a need all right specific use case now many of these are things that you've told us about either by talking to us directly or by filing a feature request on CR bug calm as we start to think about the API we put our initial thinking into an explainer essentially a design doc that is meant to explain the problem show some sample code about how we think this problem is gonna get solved once the explainer has a reasonable level of clarity it's time to publicize it and start to solicit feedback from you so that we can iterate on the design we need to hear from you to make sure that the use cases are actually covered properly is there anything that we're missing or like did we maybe just completely it Biff up the the whole API implementation and during this time as we get feedback from you we keep iterating on that explainer to get it better and better but we're also looking for public support at this point to get public support from you can be as simple as a tweet from an engineer saying hey that's really cool we'd use that in our app if it were available your public support a helps us to prioritize the API so we know how many people are going to use it and how important it is to you but it also tells other browser vendors how important it is to you so they can go Oh lots of people want that maybe we should do that right so once the explainers in a good state we transition from the explainer to the spec all right and where we continue to work with developers to get your feedback and other browser vendors to keep iterating on it as the design starts to stabilize we typically use an origin trial to experiment with the implementation origin trials allow us to try new features with real users and get feedback on that implementation this real-world feedback helps us shape and validate the design before it becomes a standard finally once the origin trials complete the specs been finalized and all the other launch steps are completed it's time to ship it so enough background I've talked too long let's look at some real stuff Tom you want to do the first one sure all right Thank You Pete so Bluetooth Low Energy or just ble is a very less technology that you can find in many gadgets like Hardware sensors beacons lights and also toys but many times you gonna want when you want to interact with a ble device they make you download yet another app and actually you should just be able to use a web app web Bluetooth can be used to control all sorts of devices after pairing them which is painless and quick and works via a picker for example the Batmobile from Lego can be controlled from a web app without a need to download a native app we actually have the web more view other with the Batmobile not the Batmobile the Batmobile over in the web sandbox over there so please come over and play with it before connecting to a web Bluetooth device like the Batmobile I first need to know it's ID the Bluetooth service UUID that you can see here is unique identifier that Lego gave to the Batmobile I can optionally also provide a name or a name prefix parameter you can think of these services filter as a way to not only look for certain devices but also for certain categories of devices for example to just look for heart rate sensors or just for devices whose name starts with hub which is the name the Lego gave to the Reuters controller inside of the Batmobile when I then requested advice I will see it in the connection picker where I can then pair it and start using it web Bluetooth is a very powerful API so it requires a secure connection and the connection picker only shows after use a gesture after the pairing step I can then connect to the devices server that provides the services of the device in a concrete case a Batmobile remote control service how cool is that web Bluetooth is an established standard that has been in Chrome for a while it's fully shipped and you can use it today if you have a great use case I've built a cool demo like Nields with the Batmobile control app that we've showed the sandbox do let us know awesome sharing is a critical feature for many apps and it means whatever that means let me try that again sharing it's really critical whether that means you're sharing out or you want to be able to receive shares many native apps can plug into the system sharing api's and the web should be able to do this too with the web share API you can it allows yours site to share links and text via the system share picker working with the share picker it's pretty straightforward it's best huge feature detection because it's only available on some devices right like your Windows or Mac OS device doesn't have a share so you want to fall back to the whatever this native sharing mechanism is but if it is you just provide the text title and the URL that you want to share and then call navigator chair and that's it it's pretty easy we just also added I think this one is pretty cool the ability to share files as well so you can share not only links but you can share files the other side of the equation is the ability to tell the system that you are a share target that you want to receive shares from other apps and the web share target API allows an installed web app to register with the OS as a share target so that users can easily share apps to you or share links and text to you in fact Twitter just recently implemented this if you've installed Twitter you can try sharing and see hey I want to share a link over to Twitter's install that to register as a share target you need to add the share target entry to your web app manifest and when the user chooses to share to your site it opens a link to the actions page that I've got linked there and sends over the required information so for Twitter what they do is they just compose a new tweet with the information that you provide just one pro tip here if you're gonna do this make sure you pre cache your share target page so that it loads instantly and works reliably otherwise if you do it and it's like not loading users are going to get a little cranky and they're not gonna use it so web share and web share target are available today and they provide a nice way to integrate with the system but we've also been working on web share target v2 which allows you to receive files you can now send files but you can also receive files and so I suspect that will probably land a little bit later this year around chrome 76 or so so on your computer your laptop or your desktop computer often you have media keys that you can use for playing or pausing your media content if it's giving a favor to backward for web apps these keys typically are not accessible but there's actually no reason why they shouldn't be accessible when you build a media player app you could for quite a while now use androids media controls in the control panel via the media session API and not only use rich album artwork but also obviously use the media controls to skip forward and backward pause play and so on what's new is that now you can finally also use media keys on physical hardware keyboard to control playing pausing skipping and so on of your media and this also works where the media tab is in the background or in full-screen mode to make this happen a set of action handlers in the navigated media session interface for the previous track action yeah you can applaud for that it's really cool it's a great API so you set up action handlers in the media session interface for the previous record action for the next record ssin for play and for pause the media session idea is fully shipped now and it works on Android Mac OS Windows and Chrome OS and support for Linux is under development suite alright with getusermedia getting a video stream from the users web cams pretty easy and you can use javascript libraries to do face detection or you can do QR codes and that kind of thing in fact a couple years ago in the chrome experiment movie Conti Revo that's how it worked you navigated by moving your head to move through the experience but doing shape detection in JavaScript is kind of expensive and most native platforms have api's for this built-in so the shape detection API is something that is about to land and it's got three interfaces a face detector a barcode detector and a text detector the face detector does exactly that it can find a face but it's just finding your face there's no facial recognition there and sometimes it can find landmarks so like it could find your eyes your nose in your mouth so you could use that for maybe taking a picture when everybody's looking at the camera or imagine trying on a parasite glasses or glasses before you even try them in your hand and you guys all look better you all look better when I have my glasses on so that's a good thing um the barcode detector does exactly that right it can scan all kinds of barcodes and Tom's gonna dive into that a little deeper in a minute but the text detector what do you think it does it finds text now each detector has a detect method which takes an image or a video or a blob it'll check that image and asynchronously return whatever it finds we just finished an Origin trial with the shape detection API and one of the key reasons that we do an origin trial is it allows us to validate the design in this case we realized that there were some things that we needed to change and make some update so we're updating the spec a little bit and making some of the methods a little bit simpler we also realized that text detection wasn't at a level that we were happy with so we probably won't ship that one for a little while until we get the quality level up so as you can see and Pete's demos there's some really need use cases for the shape detection API but pulling all of that together so that it will work across browsers is a bit tricky the check detection API is coming out of an origin trial but not all mobile browsers supported yet but fortunately this is a really good example of where JavaScript library can help and make life easier for you using platform IDs were available and javascript and web assembly where they aren't we're happy today to announce an early version of the perception toolkit a library that allows people to navigate your site with a camera this idea of navigating a website by pointing the camera at physical things in the world has a lot of power actually and it can help users complete tasks faster and easier for example if you want to learn more about a product sometimes instead of typing in a search box it can be way easier and way faster to just scan its barcode to find the page that you're looking for another use case is museum tours where rather than forcing your visitors to download yet another app that they will never use again after the museum visit you can just scan the actual artworks from the web and just deliver directly a rich enriched online experience the perception toolkit does planar images action which means which museums have digitized their artworks already it is a really small step for them to make these artworks recognized by the toolkit the perception toolkit does three things first a minute is a camera session for you and can detect barcodes QR codes and 2d image targets using 95s when available and as I said earlier webassembly when not next it allows you to link real-world targets like barcodes with pages on your website and this is done using structured data so it's easy to manage and finally the next user interface really easy from unwinding the user to rendering cards you have full control over the user interface but it takes care of the heavy lifting the whole thing is open source so there's a lot of flexibility to customize how everyone of it but the general idea is that you can get up and running really quickly to add camera based navigation to your site if you want to try this out we have a live demo over in the web sandbox you can do this on your own device so just go to the URL that you can see on the screens and yeah once you're on the website website blocks area try pointing the camera at physical things science logos and so on and see what's coming up suite installed apps can frequently alert users about new information either through notifications or through a badge on the icon badging makes it really easy to subtly notify the user that something might require their attention or it can indicate a small amount of information badges are less intrusive than notifications and they don't interrupt the user which means that they can be updated much more frequently and because they don't interrupt the user they don't require any special permissions to use them there plenty of great use cases for badges chat and the email could indicate progress games could let users know it's their turn and plenty more just one small thing about them they only work when the app is installed right because if it's not installed there's nothing for us to badge so setting the badge is pretty easy call window dot badge set it takes an optional number if you provide that number it uses that number if you don't provide a number it just sets it with a dot and then you can clear it with with clear it's available as an origin trial right now on Windows and Mac and we're working on Chrome OS support so you can start using it today during the origin trial though you'll need to call window dot experimental badge set if everything goes smoothly this should be available and stable around chrome 78 we're still looking for signs of public support for this so if this is something you think you might use please tweet us or let us know because this is a pretty cool one and we're getting close and want to want to see some use on that yeah all right moo moo so the last clock had four rounds of applause I think we're at four so like let's keep going this is good oh crap oh that's going Jess tonight off Oh luckily it's back so a lot of devices can keep yeah the screen on are they running for example a presentation app like PowerPoint can prevent the screen from falling asleep from turning off luckily we can sort of do the same pretty soon again on the web as well because presentation apps like Google slides have very much the same use cases so why shouldn't they be able to request something that is called a wake lock that prevents from happening what just happened so to avoid joining the battery most devices can quickly yeah go to sleep and turn a screen off and they're idle this is fine most of the time but some applications do need to keep the screen on or prevent the device from sleeping so that they can continue doing the work I mentioned keeping a screen awake during presentations but there plenty out of really good use cases for example a run tracking app turns the screen off but it needs to keep tracking where you are to record you out or maybe a game where you focus on the screen while thinking about the next turn and you don't want the screen to turn off when you think about your next turn the way API enables you to support use cases like that and new experiences that until now required a native application they pay also in aims to reduce the need for hacky and potentially power-hungry burke rhoads like looking an invisible video that people use nowadays to keep the screen on the regular api provides two types of like lock screen and system a screen my clock prevents the device from turning a screen off so that the user can see the information that's displayed on the screen and a system backlog prevents the device's CPU from entering the standby mode so that your app country can continue running and while they are treated independently one may imply the effects of the other for example a screen backlog implies that the app and therefore this system should continue running in order to use the backlog api i need to create and initialize a wakelock object for the type of wakelock i want here i am requesting a screen backlog once created the promise results with a break lock object but note the wakelock isn't active yet until you can you before you can use it you need to activate it before activating the wakelock let me first set up an inventor listener so that i can receive notifications when the wakelock stayed is changed to activate the oaxaca i need to great create a request and now finally the screen won't turn off ever again until of course i can serve a globe you probably have noticed the red ribbon in the upper right corner this means that the speck is currently being rewritten based on early feedback and the code that you can see here will change but what you can see here is also what you can actually play with today way clock is moving along really well the folks at Intel have been busy with yeah rewriting the implementation and it's available behind a flag but again please note that the current implementation will change I suspect will start something in an origin trial probably around chrome 76 maybe 77 but it could change yeah depending on how we make progress with the API and so forth sweet alright so apps that read and write local files are essentially impossible to do on the web today right you need to like upload some thing if you want to start working on it you need to download it and put it back in the Downloads folder or save it back it just doesn't work very well the native file system API aims to change that making it possible for users to be able to give to choose files or directories that a web app can interact with on the native file system single file editors like squoosh which is a PWA our team built earlier this year are an ideal use case for this control o to open a file compress it ctrl s to save it and then just repeat and of course there are plenty of other options ampuls notepad for editing text sketchup for doing drawings figma for doing prototypes all that kind of thing beyond single file editors we also want to enable the ability to work with collections of files so think like photo photo galleries or media players and the one that I'm most excited about personally I dream of the day when vs code just works as a progressive web app and I just use it straight in my browser that will be pretty amazing the one key design element of the API is that its primary entry point is a file picker that will require a user gesture to invoke this ensures that the user is in full control over what the web app has access to and we expect that some files and folders web apps just won't have access to at all as I said earlier users should never be scared about visiting a website or web app we're still iterating on the spec for this so this code might change but grab the file I want to open get the file read it into an array buffer make any changes I want then to save it get a file writer and save it to disk there's an early draft of the spec in the works but there's no code that you can try right now so this is still one of these ones that's a little bit future-looking as with our other stuff if you think this is cool and want to get involved please go check out some of these links thank you Peter so many devices such as microcontrollers or 3d printers communicate through serial data up until now these devices can't be integrated with Web Apps but what if they were a way to bridge the physical and the web worlds by allowing them to communicate together even though modern pcs rarely include the classic nine pin serial port a lot of the device is driven by microcontrollers such as robots and 3d printers communicate using serial data but nowadays commonly over USB or maybe Bluetooth so let's have a look at how the serial API will work in profit practice first I need to filter for known vendor IDs in order to request a port to the device in question here I'm filtering on the Arduino USB vendor ID remember it's all serial data so I need to agree on a board rate when opening the port that determines the communication speed that is used with the mint communicating over the channel finally I can unreal arehd err until there's no more data which the reader signals with a damn flag the actual code will look similar to what is defined in the specification but somewhat at some of the details so need to be worked out the vamoosh model will work similar to that of web USB we started the web the Sira API maybe for the capabilities project and before it's processes came into life so some of the details do need to be defined there's an implementation behind a flag but most of the work has been so far on getting the permission UI right but I can request permission to access this he reported a the object that your script gets back isn't actually useful yet but we're aiming to have proper support by end of the port so there are a whole bunch of peripherals that communicate with your computer using head the most common classes of hit devices are keyboards and mice but there are a whole bunch of devices that are not well supported by the hit driver and are often inaccessible to webpages web HID would make these devices accessible and provide better support for devices that have limited functionality so many game pads for example have decent support in the browser but they frequently miss out on some of the cool neat features that they have with web hid the device specific logic can be moved into JavaScript so providing full support and there are plenty of other use cases extra buttons on like blue 2 or thee on the telephony headsets could easily control videoconferencing gaps you could control virtual reality experiences with spatial controllers and just one note though like web hid isn't intended to get high-level input where we already may have a high level API like key presses and pointer events those are going to continue to be used with the high level IP is this sample opens up a hit device grabs that first matching device opens up a connection to it sets up a listener to be like oh hey you move the joystick and since hid is bi-directional it sends out a report to activate some of the lights on the device letting the user know that the device is ready to go there is a draft of the spec available now so but there's nothing to play with code wise so we'll see that probably around chrome 78 or so thank you this one's cool so access to the user's context has been a feature of native apps since almost the dawn of time and it's one of the most common feature requests that I hear from web developers and this is often the key reason why they still build a native application getting access to the contact there are many great use cases for a contacts figure here on the web but at the core it is designed to help you reach your friends and family easier for example in a web-based email client the picker can be used to select the recipients of an email or someone to connect with on social networks but instead of providing a site with complete and continuous access to the users contact the contact picker API is just add an on-demand picker when invoked it shows a list of a user's contacts and makes it easy for them to pick only the contacts that they want to share and users can provide access to as few or as many of the contacts as they choose and because access is on-demand each subsequent call to the API will show the picker again and designing the API we want to give developers two features that they want but we also want to ensure that their contacts and their own information is safe and they clearly understand what they are sharing that means that the contact speaker will only work when served from a secured host and it can only be shown after use a gesture users can also explicitly choose which contacts they want to share and see exactly what is being shared before they share it opening the contact speaker starts with a call to navigator that contacts dot select that I need to pass an opt options object to with information I'd like so here I just want one contact and from this contact I want the name the email and the telephone numbers the con returns a promise the resource with an array of the corner contacts that they were selected by the user so let's say the user has selected sundar Pichai why not each contact will include an array of all the properties that were requested for example our address book entry for Sundra has his name no phone numbers but it does have an email address for him so go email sender we're in the early phases of experimentation with the contacts picker API the explainer has been written and a very first implementation is available behind the flag but a lot of the details still need to be discussed for example whether they address whether where the addresses should be accessible via the API like the other ApS that we've talked about we're looking for public support so if this is something you think that you could use in your website do let us know all right well that didn't get a round of applause okay there we go yeah that one - all right so I'm going to cover this last one and then we will wrap up real quick but designers frequently have customs bonds installed on their system that they use for creating apps company standard fonts specially licensed fonts that kind of thing browsers can use them if they know about them but there's no way to get a list of those fonts the font access API has two components first it allows apps to enumerate the list of locally installed fonts so that it's easy to use them within your app and second it allows access to the details of the font such as the individual glyphs and ligature tables so that web apps can take fine-grained control of rendering using things like harf buzz getting access is pretty simple so we just called navigator fonts query and give it up query parameter in this particular case I've asked only for local fonts I can then loop over the list of fonts and add them to a font selector we're still working on an early draft of the explainer and we're looking for feedback to make sure that we've got all the use cases covered so take a look at this and let us know especially if this is something that you're really interested in so as Pete said in the last couple of years the capabilities of the web have grown tremendously today we've only covered a handful of the air guys to be shipped but that we are planning to ship later this year that will all help close the app gap where there are few other features to be working on that I want to at least quickly call out we're adding support for programmatically copying images to the clipboard which is the most popular bug and Chrome spark tracker actually more than 1101 1800 stars currently the asynchronous Clippard IPI only supports basic reading and writing of text but we will be rounding out the existing a synchronous Clippard API with support for images again helping to unlock a couple of really new creative use cases let me have the SMS receiver API that gives developers the ability to be notified when specially formatted formatted SMS messages are delivered to the users device so that they can yeah powers out OTP tokens for example this can help reduce the friction when verifying phone numbers and can be used as a mechanism to limit abuse in account creation it can in account recovery or it can being used to confirm critical operations web developers have the ability to display notifications using the web push and notifications API notification trigger is a mechanism for preparing notifications that are to be shown when certain conditions are met for example the trigger could be time-based it could be location-based or something else this makes it possible to display notifications at a particular time without involving a server and improves the reliability and yeah improves the reliability by removing the dependency on a network connection this is essential for certain types of applications like for example calendars so while most of the IP is that we describe today aren't available yet some like the web share and the web chat target API already are available and there are a few others that are in origin trial that you can all start experimenting with today I'll give you two three seconds for taking pictures of that site all right cool so if you want to participate in an origin trial with your site the list of the currently active origin trail can be found at developers don't come slash origin trials and finally if there's any features that you think we were missing like we mentioned like 75 but there might be more who knows we want to hear about them please file a feature request on bitly slash new - fugu - request so after all this we've just two links that you need to remember the first is for the code lab where you can experiment with other ready to play with AP is not everything works on all platforms yet and sometimes you may have to set a flag to use them but as the admittedly biased author of the code lab I do think it's a lot of fun and the second link is for a capabilities project landing page we will keep it up to date and it is out links to all the capabilities that we work on and that are currently in flight from there we also link to the full list of all the upcoming capabilities that we will get to in the future the web is an amazing place and we're really working hard to close that app gap so thank you very much for being part of our journey [Music] [Applause] [Music] you [Music]

FASTEST JUMPSHOT IN NBA 2K19! QUICKEST CUSTOM JUMPSHOT THAT WILL HELP YOU WIN! NBA 2K19 MYPARK
[Music] I was gonna chaga another video for today now I tried on a new random quick fast jump shot and I just want to test out for our part as you can see here my pleasure is getting a lot of my dentists and I think the reason is because I'm not really used to timing fast shots like how it wasn't 1718 ever since 2k 19 came out I just started using second to fastest but now I'm using the fastest the fast enough shot you could possibly have max speed jump shot 11 that's the base release 57 the high jump shot a quick one but I couldn't use release 70 but I know release 70 0 someone try release 57 so yeah acid um using in this gameplay as you could see I was getting a lot of magenta bro I have a lot a lot of my dentists but you're like no they still go in so it's like it's not new it's only got that jump shot landing on making sure you make your shots and you good you you know when you miss and not gonna miss so it's more like it so you see animation it's like it's green so I guess that's the difference with two kick but as you can see here I just I want one quick gameplay for y'all and if you mind my dribbles row because I'm trying out new Singh I don't want to really give you all know new things until I feel comfortable what I got so I'm just trying on a lot of new stuff because I want I want to have some smooth things that also look nasty I don't want some I want some nice cigs like I'm just going through SIG's day by day trying new stuff whenever I do get on by putting a lot of porn I'm not gonna lie to y'all because it's like we're not cut its kind of fun it's not the only option you have bro but yeah 2k I mean 2 K is fun and all that I just feel I think ok trying to kill Park I don't know why but there should be a rep system for park but you see green being right there but I don't know I thought there should be a represented four part partisan but it's so hard for us to get games my guy like especially being a 92 yard so hard game but I mom it's okay I'm okay with the UH I'm not trippin that's all I try to get the YouTube play button so I get back to that games bro so when I scream like I always have games I don't have to worry about not having a game or whatever but you can see here I'm sitting here making damn they're all my shots I did sell one of these possessions I don't know which one but you see me right here I could've shot that but I wanted to be the smarter shot you seemed trying to take it in for the easy bucket giving it to mark this man won't know what that has to stretch big but yeah job meant asking me for every outfit video asking me for the shoes so tomorrow all the custom shoes I own right now I will be making I would just have a long shoot tutorial video so if y'all want that make sure to say down below if she would tell me I don't want that bro how much I really want that and make sure to LIKE this video for me I didn't say about I said not to say y'all just like before me bro it's not hard it's like the video for me but I want the actual creator bro I got China tomorrow I'm gonna make some more shoes to that job probably haven't even seen me out come and just make them cuz I'm gonna do a whole shoot creator videos gonna be a long videos gonna be like 10 minutes I won't just make a hell with shoes I got shot bro can y'all I've really been asked me for all how do I make these how about make those how to make that but I got y'all tomorrow I promise but I'm telling y'all if y'all want me to really make you make a video y'all need some I will post it now I know a lot of y'all seen the VC glitch so that's why I really have them then posted VC glitch number one I haven't tried it yet number two I'm not trying to get banned number three because I I mean number two because I fell they're gonna ban the people who post if anything y'all not gonna get bans long you don't tell nobody is good that's why they're gonna ban people who post this last another reason early and work on anything so uh [Applause] yeah that's really the reason but if y'all don't know just look up a jump shot glitch there is a jump shot glitch I'm hook up the VC good I'm gonna be secret but look at mark gaming it right there easy game but yeah make sure that like subscribe if you're new and I'm out y'all peace another banger tomorrow

BOF: Discussing Metrics for Open Source in Light of Insights from the CHAOSS Project - Georg Link
welcome everyone so as this is a birds of a feather session feel free to open up your camera um open up your microphone if you want to chime in it's really an informal session so i'm here only to facilitate make sure that we're all adhering to the code of conduct but this is a session for you as much as for everyone so feel free to take part i prepared a few things to kick off the conversation but if you have ever been to a bird's-eye feather really it's free for all because we are at the official starting time i'm just going to let you know what i prepared i have a couple slides about the challenges that we are facing with metrics about open source projects open source communities i have a few things about how the chaos project is addressing these challenges and what we can learn from the chaos project and then i have a section for open conversations and to talk about lessons learned the lessons that we learned through the chaos project that i learned through my phd researching open source community health but also your experiences so this is why we are in an open zoom call where we can all chime in and talk and share what we have to share a little background to me for those who might not know me yet i'm georg link i'm originally from germany so it was very great very good to see that we have some from germany dialing in today and i work at pytergia a company that provides metrics analytics about open source projects about software development projects and i came to biterger because i was very involved in the chaos project and chaos is short for community health analytics open source software where we want to understand the health of open source communities and build a network of people who are interested in this topic and how do we use metrics to understand community health so metrics around open source communities and the health of projects is something that i've been working with for quite a while so thank you for joining the session today when we talk about metrics the it is on the one hand we're talking about the method of measuring something and on the other hand we're talking about the outcome the results that we get and so when we look at open source communities they have project data a lot of this data is you know automatically generated just because we are working in the open we're developing in the open all of those interactions produce footsteps or trace data that we can analyze the git log the mailing list archive the chat history on irc so those are the trace data which we need some way of getting insights from and that's where the method comes in we can also produce our own data if you wanted more qualitative data we can run surveys or interviews or sometimes we don't have the data that we want and so we have to figure out how to get it but then we have the method so once we have the data we have the method to get the insights and in my analogy here we're going from a cloudy day to a sunny day where we the clouds clear up and we can see so that's when i think of metrics really what what we're talking about what i'm talking about and i'm going to pause throughout this session because it's a personal feather session you're all welcome to chime in if you want to open your microphone and add something feel free to do so at any time you can also raise your hand or write in the chat if you want to add something i'll have an eye on that and make time for you so if you want to understand how our open source communities are doing how the project is developing evolving there are several challenges that we all are facing and those challenges i group them in legal and ethical challenges organizational challenges and technology challenges when we talk about the legal and ethical challenges this is where we think about laws like the european general data protection regulation gdpr where the european union has given all eu citizens autonomy over their data which the question often is in open source if someone participates in open source project and they're giving away their data and they know it will be publicly visible are there any concerns with analyzing that data and would you become a data controller by the gdpr law which says that if you analyze the data then you need to let the data subjects our open source community members who are who whose names or email address or contributions we're analyzing you have to let them know they need to be able to opt out we also have data privacy issues or questions is it fair to expose someone how do we do this are we letting everyone know that they can opt into the analysis or do we go the opposite way and we say hey analyzing the open source community in project is good for the community we do this and it's expected by the members that this is something we would be doing but we still given way for someone to opt out so those are legal ethical challenges and i'm gonna pause here for a second to see if anyone wants to chime in again this is a birds of feather session thank you for everyone who is here if you joined late also welcome the as a birds of feather session we are all welcome to talk and have a dialogue that's why we are in zoom today and not in the main conference platform so in the chaos project where we develop metrics for for you to choose from to if you want to analyze open source projects we recognize that these legal and ethical challenges we can give some opinions on them but we cannot solve it specifically for you because it depends on what data you're analyzing depends on who's in the community what where you're located so there are different laws that we need to pay attention to moving on to organizational challenges when you start analyzing open source projects and you find a good tool that does that which i have some recommendations later then it's often like opening a fire hose a fire hose of data and unless you have a specific question you're trying to answer or strategy for how to analyze the data and derive meaning from it you'll be overwhelmed and so a challenge is what is our strategy what do we actually want to do with the open source project with the community and how can we use the metrics to make meaningful decisions to check whether we are on track and get actionable insights if we start having data and metrics about open source communities our communities are often very opinionated themselves and they want to be in charge or they want to be asked before we do something so giving information to the community before creating a dashboard a community dashboard or something is a generally good idea we also have technical technological challenges um and again i feel free to jump in at any time if you want to add something if you have an idea and you have an example that you want to bring in please do just you can let me know that you want to speak or you can just unmute yourself and let me know as well so technical technological challenges well one is we have to actually get the data the data in open source project is as diverse as the different tools that we use we have mailing lists we have a repository on github or gitlab or we host it ourselves we have an issue tracker a forum of wiki an instant messaging service open source communities are all very diverse no two communities look alike and even if we say we all use a mailing list which there are many communities that don't do that anymore but even if we say we have mailing lists there are different different versions different providers and so getting the quality data is something that we all need to get through because we need to collect the data that we're interested in we have some solutions for that in the case project again i'll talk about the tools here in a little bit another challenge is managing identities so one reason we might be interested in having data about our communities is because we want to give active contributors a vote at the upcoming board elections or you know it's something that i've seen and being able to say hey this person [Music] xyz is the same person as y zx is really helpful just because they use work email and personal email or because they have a different username on github than they have on twitter being able to say hey this is actually the same person it's really valuable because then you can see the whole picture of what they are contributing to our open source community and then it's not just about collecting quality data always keeping up with api changes and managing the quality of data we have but our contributors the identities merging but we also need to have a way of reporting on that data and visualizing that having dashboards running regular reports so maybe we have people that we need to report to maybe we have managers that care about hey how is our community doing so being able to take the raw data and make it into something meaningful now there are some super experts that just look at open source communities and they they can tell you hey it's going really well here are the things that you can improve but for the most part if if you're normal like me then it's really hard to do that and this is where together we can be better stronger faster and this is the second part where i have some things to share about the chaos community and again if there's a birds of feather i saw new people join in you're welcome to speak up if you have something to share this is a very very open format i just have some slides too share some thoughts that i've had and unlike being in a room where i can stare at you and ask you hey do you have something to add i'm really inviting you to to speak up there's a session for all of us so if you have any questions or thoughts or examples let me know so together better stronger faster this is what we're doing with the chaos community and so going through these let's say together is the chaos community we've started at about three years ago um at the linux foundation the there's a metrics community that is older but we've started at the lynx foundation three years ago with the goal of bringing together industry academics i was earning my phd at the time tool makers like peturgia where i work now the practitioners open source foundations community members like yourself and we want to understand okay what is community health and how do we understand that through metrics building out tools that we can use so that's what we set out to do and now we're becoming better we are developing chaos practices we're talking about how do we actually analyze communities how do we use the metrics to scale up the work we do how do we reduce bias in our decision making how do we manage our communities our engagement with these communities through the data that we are collecting how do we support decision making these are all things that we are talking about in the chaos community and having this community of practice is really helpful and we produce blog posts we produce all kinds of things to share this one thing that we are producing or creating in the chaos community are metrics and this is where we become stronger because we are starting to have a unified language about how we are measuring our open source communities and projects we are becoming stronger because we can use the metrics that others have already vetted and said hey this is how you collect the data this how you analyze it here are some thoughts on what this means in chaos if you go to chaos.community metrics we have a list of almost 50 metrics now and every year we keep adding more and the way we have organized the work in the chaos community is in working groups because different people care about different things and measuring different things we have working groups one is on diversity and inclusion one working group is on risk one working group is on evolution you see the trend here value and common are other working groups and each one of them is defining metrics that they care about so code changes here the example i have on the screen is in the evolution working group and code changes is our word for commit we just chose a more neutral term code changes um so there's a buffet of metrics that you can choose from if you want we can do a deep dive into the metrics i'm just listing this here as an option of thing something we can talk about we also have going to faster so together better stronger faster if you want to start analyzing an open source community or project we have some software that you can start using and the software already solves many of the technical challenges we talked about we collect data from many different data sources we can present that data we can manage identities the grimola project which you see here at the top right is being used by big fortune 500 companies to understand their open source engagements and projects agar is something is a tool that is developed by the university of missouri as a playground where we try out new metrics and some of you on this call might have already played with this as well and found it to be useful to run queries against the data so gremolab and auger are the two big tools that we have in chaos that you can just start collecting data with but they're very different philosophies so something we can also talk about if you're interested the g with the looking glass that's uh short for oh that's the tool cricket and it's used for the kernel report and to understand basically like get blame who made changes to the source code but not at the line level with get blame you only see who edited the line with cricket you actually can see who added this variable or who last edited this function name which might be helpful to know who you can ask about it so in the chaos community we can together get better stronger faster in having metrics and analytics and understanding open source communities now is the part where i would really like to hear from you all about what have you done with metrics so far what you have you learned um i have a few more slides to spark ideas or thoughts but if you have something you want to share with others or if you have questions hey there's an open format maybe there's someone on the call who has some ideas for you maybe this is when speaking um one thing i was wondering when i hear about community health is a common understanding at least within chaos what a healthy project at least is i mean some projects maybe it might be healthy if they change over time some projects might be healthy if they don't change at all to take this metric for example and that is something we are talking about in the community as well that some projects are growing some are it's very stable and some are even declining as you said very stable the definition that i like the most is to say a community has the potential to continue developing quality software because you're putting the focus on quality software the output but you're also putting focus on the community that it can establish that and that that's the definition that i like the most that i'm using in my own work does that resonate with you swim in a way i mean this is really pretty result so i mean when looking at your work you could also think about other parameters like who are the people who are involved it's maybe also interesting aspect but i like the aspect that it's just for the result i mean this game comes with the question what is actually quality software it might have also some different layers and dimensions but absolutely and i don't have to be the only one who is answering here so if anyone wants to chime in reply to sven's question how do you define community health and some communities are not producing software i know there are many open source communities that are not producing software so there the output might be something different and or you really just have a community that is getting together and so the focus of your definition should be on other people getting out of the community what they want to get out of it and is it a good experience to be part of the community so bryce asked the question in the chat how is improper data identified and managed and bryce could you clarify for us what do you mean by improper data and do you maybe have an example in mind now i don't maybe bryce if you could add that in the chat or speak up you're muted right now okay so bryce said i apologize i have to say i'm rather ignorant but i imagine someone with not the best of intentions might have access and alter so what the thoughts that come to mind listening to or reading your question is when we have open source communities the data is often public to begin with and there are some shady characters who do analyze the data on extracted form one example is get everyone's email address and start direct marketing to the developers in the project and that is something that is improper it's unethical but i don't know if you're talking about that kind of analysis or that kind of data use so if you have something else to add please add it to the chat i'm oh no worries bryce i appreciate that you asked the question i'm just trying to figure out you know how best to answer that um and maybe i'm just not quite understanding either one thing that i i was that we talk about in the chaos community is that we have different reasons for having metrics and different points in time when we want to understand what is happening in our communities in our projects so here on the left you see a dashboard when you're driving a car you just want to see it how fast am i going and do i need to you know apply the brake or the gas to get up or down to the speed limit do i need to fill up the tank again how am i doing on gas so there are some things you need on a day-to-day operations basis as you're working in open source communities or projects then you just a quick plants easy to understand metric but sometimes your car breaks down you have smoke coming out you know everything stalls you pull over or you just have a regular maintenance check once per year and you go to a mechanic who has the vehicle inspection report that he fills out and there are many different metrics how are the brakes doing how is the um the shocks how the tires and so taking a deeper look at the car and we can do the same thing for our open open source projects and communities where we can look at the data on a day day-to-day or week-to-week basis how are we doing are we growing um is there anything that we should be paying attention to but then occasionally we do some stepping back and thinking about hey what's our overall strategy are we engaging the people that we want to engage um is there any bottlenecks that we should be focusing on and that's when reports come in so again i'm opening this up do you have any experience with dashboard metrics or report metrics um i don't want to call on in one specific i'm just opening up the floor if you have something you would like to add here so another thing that we hear or i hear a lot in the chaos community is that people would like a baseline being able to say hey we're doing better than last year and for that we actually need to know how no how did we do last year so we need to start collecting data early and have it ready for when we do want to use it so part of it is to listen and when you start the metric journey just start collecting everything that you can you don't know what you will use in the end but at least you have it now this is to start you cannot always look at all the data that's where strategy comes in which i'll talk about next but you you want to have that baseline or sometimes you're not using your own history as the baseline sometimes you want to compare yourself to other projects like here in the screenshot i compared the two chaos projects auger and grimola and i was very surprised to see that they evolve about the same even though they have completely different development teams and there's very little overlap in the contributors and what i what i think well i don't actually know what is happening but i i know that during google summer of code there's a lot more outside contributions or from outside the community so i think that those are the spikes or some of the spikes if you want to start getting uh visualizations like this i can recommend check out cauldron.io it's a service that builds on top of the chaos grimoire lab technology but you can just go to golden io put in the repositories github repositories or gitlab repositories that you want to analyze and you get information and you can compare projects you can get metrics on multiple repositories combine them into one project a really useful tool so collect everything start listening to your community have the metrics ready for when you do want to use the analysis and also some metrics you can go back in history like the git log you have the full history that you can analyze other metrics if you're interested in how your number of stars on github evolves there you have a two week time window to collect the data through the github api and so you cannot get the history of that beyond or further back through the api so you want to start collecting that to build up your graph your history again i'm opening this up is there any thoughts comments concerns questions so in addition to collecting all the data we actually need to know what we're looking for we need to know what the needle is we're looking for in the haystack and in the chaos project we are proposing or advocating for using the goal question metric approach so you start with your goals what do you actually want to do let's say we want to grow contributors then we have some questions for how we doing how many new contributors did we have last month how many active contributors do we have right now and once we have those questions we can figure out what data can answer those questions so if you want to grow the contributors our goal you want to know how many question how many new contributors we have that's the question then we can use the metric of number of new contributors for that last month or for how many active contributors do we have we can have a metric number of active contributors so going through the gold question metric approach gives us not just what metrics should we focus on but also a rationale for why we look at it and it we can start to tell the story hey number of new contributors is this and we are growing our contributors here's how we are creating value here's how we are having an impact we need to start telling these stories that are larger than the individual numbers the individual metrics any thoughts on metric strategy another thing that is interesting to look at is collaboration patterns and here this network diagram shows our chaos community the blue bars are repositories if i were to zoom in in in the dashboard which you can find on chaos.biturge.io you could actually read the label names the repository names and then the dots are individual contributors the larger dots means contributors who have more commits small dots have fewer commits and then we draw lines between the people the dots and the blue bars the repositories if a person made a commit to a specific repository and so we can see here in the middle we have one repository that has a lot of people who do contribute to it and that is our governance repository on the right we have a cluster of a few very active contributors with a lot of repositories around them and then outside of contributors and that's that cluster on the right that is our grimoire lab project and the people in the middle are the baturgia employees the company that is the main steward and maintainer of the project so you can see i can start to tell a story with this visualization with this way the data is presented and then auger is the repository at the bottom there's agar being at the university they often ask students in classes to make contributions as part of their learning experience so we sometimes see spikes of activity because students have their assignments too so collaboration patterns is for one you know what is the map of our community where do people contribute to how active are they in different parts collaboration patterns is also when are we contributing is it during work hours is it uh during weekends gives us an idea for what kind of community are we looking at is it professionals who work as part of their job on this project or is it volunteers working outside their regular work hours or what time zones are contributing where are the people located are we all in the european time zones are we all in dublin or are we spread out some from india some from north america some from asia time zone is a good or somewhat acceptable proxy to geographic location although you know we don't get the whole north versus south difference but we get an idea for how globally distributed as our community and i'm pausing again to see if anyone wants to chime in ah christopher messaged in the chat hi georg i am completely new to this field and in fact misunderstood the meaning of the title of the session i took the term health literally as i'm interested in the social application of open source but maybe that doesn't matter too much talking of stories there is a task demystifying metrics and data to the lay people so there are two things that you said here and thank you very much for making that comment um health we're not talking about medical health or the health of people here we're talking about the community health so how well are the how well is the community doing and when i heard health the first time i also only had the medical health in mind maybe that's because i was from germany originally and so english was my second language i have not heard health being used for the health of a system a health of a machine or health of a car or whatever um so yeah there are different uses and open source is being used quite a bit for so i'm totally going off on attention and christopher if you want to open up your microphone and say something please do so you can also stop me they're open so go ahead i see you unmuted no no go ahead gilg um i just wanted to you know be polite um carry on finish your point please oh i was just going to say that there are many open source projects in the medical health field libra health new health are just two projects that come to mind [Music] so yeah that was the only thing i wanted to say here okay um but i yeah i mean as i said this is this is a you know first time experience for me um but i'm fascinated by the the what seems to be a really different mentality that perhaps is just part of open source thinking um but you know as a newcomer i'm just stunned really by its um i don't know it's potential and how how how different it is from from the way standard ways of thinking that the rest of us exist in and yet you know it does have applications um at whatever level you're working on and it it seems um it seems you know so important for evolution as a as a as a planet and um but um yeah so i'm grateful to all of you but i'm also i'm also interested in how you set about um i mean other than having a you know an open door how you set about sort of um yeah telling the narrative of what you're offering to people that don't speak your language i'll stop waffling well thank you and before i take the air out of the room i'm going to pause and see if anyone else has some thoughts and wants to reply so as a facilitator i need to be very comfortable with silence but i yeah so no it's a it's a really great reminder that the way open source works and this collaborative first approach that we have developed in the open source projects and communities is something quite to cherish with a lot of potential so yeah the the thing that this birds of feather is about is how do we understand this collaboration this way of working together through metrics and how do we um help to enhance it take it to the next level and identify where the collaboration breaks down where we're losing out on the opportunities that we would have [Music] one thing that you said sorry i didn't mean to interrupt you no no no go ahead uh one thing that you said was we need to tell the story of what we are doing to others who are not familiar with our work and this is true for talking about how we as a community are doing about the health and the metrics but it's also true about the work that we're doing on the software or whatever we are producing as a community and talking with the users and this is where marketing we can learn a lot from marketing because marketing as a profession is concerned with how do you take what what you have and talk about it and involve others who are not familiar with it before who use different language identifying what words they use so those are things that come to mind from listening to what you said yeah um that's that's interesting it puts it puts marketing which can seem quite aggressive into a different light you know it's it's it's nice to think of it as a way of breaking the ice which we probably all want to do [Music] um yeah it's uh sorry yeah as you said marketing we often associate with the with the spam that we get and the letters in the mailbox and the billboards but that's just one form of communication um when i studied marketing which i i didn't study study marketing marketing was part of my education um the emphasis was really about communicating marketing is the department in a company that works on the messaging the communication so one so so moving forward i i'm happy to talk more about this um but i can also go on i have one quick thing to add if you yeah if you want um i you know getting back to uh the comment earlier about storytelling i think i think the interpretation of metrics is really important like you know i'm part of the chaos project i'm a big fan of data and metrics but but it really only tells part of the story like what looks good for one project isn't necessarily good for another and i think that there's a lot a lot that's left for interpretation and i think that interpretation and being able to explain the data i think is really important it's an important part of thinking about project health yeah thank you don another thing to consider is avoid gaming of metrics so if you're having metrics focused on people and they can do certain actions to raise on a leaderboard which maybe you recognize the image that i have here on the left it's from our current conference then you get that behavior you get what you measure and with we saw this recently or just this month with oktoberfest where the measurement was pull requests created it was not about the quality and so there was a big outcry at the beginning of this month because a lot of people started creating pull requests that were not that they were taking a lot of time from maintainers but didn't add anything to the projects um if you have been following twitter and other conversations you would have heard about that and hacktoberfest actually changed the rules um to accommodate that but you get the same thing in your communities if you value commits over other types of contributions then people will start to find ways to get more commits making smaller contributions having a different commit for every typo that gets fixed so just be mindful about what you do with the data and how you reward if there's any reward committee members based on that data so those are the things that i had brought as a seed to the discussion i want to leave you with some resources so i'm going to leave this slide up um i have one one more slide if you wanted to connect with me um feel free to reach out you can find me on twitter and linkedin you can email me but really this is what i wanted to give to you and we have a podcast where we talk about specific use cases experiences with metrics and measuring and community health we have the metrics the software and you're also welcome to join we have regular meetings we have the different working groups you have a mailing list if you go to chaos.community participate you can find a community that is talking about metrics and participating and don already said she was there which i really enjoy always when we are on the same zoom calls talking about metrics so this my invitation to you and i'm again opening this up what thoughts what questions do you have i don't actually know how much time we have left this against when speaking i'm still trying to grasp um what every what is covered by chaos and what is maybe not um so one thing or what i really like is when you were talking about this dashboard and made this um example with the car and maybe also the car test for cars i think it's pretty easy you have a checklist of things that you want to take like tire pressure and then you know okay the car is healthy or working but do you have something like those checklists for open source projects or is it even possible from your perspective to do something like that that's an excellent question and ever since we started chaos as our community of practice where we talk about these things the we've been asked hey just give us the 10 things the five things that we should be measuring and tell us whether it's in a good range or not and we cannot have these here's what a good project looks like here's what a problematic project looks like because every community works different and is different and so you really need a domain expert someone who is in the community who can say yes the numbers are how they are because we work in this way so just because projects use github and they share that technology they have different ways that they're using github some make it very clear that you need to link poll requests to issues others are more loose about that where you don't need an issue to create a pull request or some use don't even use the issue tracker in github they use the issue tracker over in jira so what we can have is a checklist of saying hey you want to make sure your community is doing well so you look at the activity metrics we can't help you say you have 500 commits that's good or bad but we can say hey the number of commits is something to look at and if there's a change in your number of commits that is something you know you need to understand as a community is that why is that happening and tell the story interpret that so you want to look at the community um the academic research shows that code quality can be a sign of community health resources do we have financial support do we have all the tools and necessary diversity and inclusion if you're talking about how welcoming and inclusive do people feel are they enjoying being part of the community are we welcoming new people in do we have a good rotation of people coming and leaving because not most people don't stay forever in the community what's our bus factor do we have too few people who carry the bulk of the work um so we do have these questions and if you go to the chaos metrics you can see them and we're building out more and more of those so sven did that help you get the difference of what chaos does and what does not do this really leads me in the right direction i mean there's a lot of work uh some work on those issues also on how to build those community like social architecture said something other singer so i feel something in that direction maybe background of my question was um i had situations where i was thinking of new uh of open source projects or maybe starting projects then a manager would ask me okay why is it successful and so the question here is okay what is actually success tell me what you consider success and i can tell you why it will be successful and i feel somehow goes in the direction of community health as well because maybe sometimes you there's such a situation where you really want only two or three people really working on the project or it's maybe the best solution sometimes it's not so yes absolutely that's where the gold question metric approach comes in you define what does success mean to you or your manager and then you figure out how do we show that oh thank you don for sharing the link in the chat well we are out of time i really appreciate you all coming to this birds of feather and having a conversation about how we understand community health and how we use metrics um again if you were well if you're interested in keeping this conversation going join us in the chaos project feel free to reach out if you have questions to me and i wish you all a good rest of your open source summit europe conference thanks for facilitating george thanks thank you christopher take care you

♎ Libra: The call came in. Will you answer? ♎ #tarot #BornwithoutBoundaries #Libra
Libra this is all about you this is your weekly Oracle and tarot card reading from the one without boundaries lift oh you see that mood lighting it was totally accidental I'm not that technically advanced when it comes to filming I literally just push the button on the camera that's pretty much all I know how to do all right Libra let's get into your reading this is your weekly oracle and tarot card reading this is the full oracle card spread here if you want the complete tarot card reading the extended link is in the description box below including the love and romance predictions for the week but you also have the romantic Tarot right ahead you can get a little bit of insight into what's coming next weekend towards you Libra this is probably a--perlier this is libra energy libra sun moon rising this is Libra energy so wherever Libra influences your natal chart you can plug in these energies for the next seven days Libra remember if it doesn't fit don't squeeze it we are not Cinderella's stepsisters we do not try to make something fit when it doesn't resonate with us because that just leads to irritating comments that I really don't have time for not necessarily a Libra thing but yeah guys you would not you cannot believe you would not believe I just sometimes I can't believe how much energy people put into what doesn't work for them do you know what I'm saying it's a little odd how you wouldn't just kind of just let pass by this is really interesting take the lead has come out as your crowning energy I think you're contemplating your direction in life there is a sense of because it's backwards in Reverse it is taking root finding where you want to plant yourself and upright is literally being tapped by spirit almost like communication from spirit of finding your direction but this was in between so I feel like you I feel like there is a contemplation necessarily knowing for sure or being certain of what your direction is or where you want to take routes Libra we have this issue right I'm a Libra rising it is very different because we see both sides so clearly it is difficult for us to finally choose to make that choice even when it concerns our own passions even when it's about discovering and finding our own passions we get so influenced by what other people are into or what other people are thinking or what other people need and I think that that blocks no it doesn't block does it it is who we are it is our direction to find to give other people balance so it is that in-between where we actually rule it's Libra if you look at the scales that represent the sign we are not one side and the other we are the center we are the scale itself that helps to point out where there is imbalance and so this week there seems to be that really really huge calling and I think it's because of this Aquarian New Moon energy sort of filling you up right accentuating that air ability for you to see clearly where others can't and if you find yourself sort of in the center over the next week in the center of a lot of craziness it's because you're meant to be there it's not because you deserve it or because it has anything to do with anything but those are the situations that need you most to help things level out and to use your ability for a greater good and I'm talking about this would be you know you at work being the the voice of compromise or the voice of reason this would be you being that family member that says that it helps one side understand the other and both sides understand each other there is that call to understanding your place on a larger scale that's the energy crowning your reading this week no small energy Libre but it is where you belong it's not something that you're not prepared for you for Libra Libra lots of things coming out caught in the past or influenced by the past maybe being tethered to something that is still like it's almost like being tethered to something that still is holding your roots where they don't want to be anymore because it's almost like you've decided to move on but you're not allowed to or somehow it's almost like the morality of the situation is denying you the right to do so there's a lot of reversals here this is you feeling torn apart and upside down hold on interesting energy the abundant universe will provide know there's a huge sacrifice that you're being asked to make and it could be of the very security hold on let's keep getting because I don't want to assume too much from one card you are never alone a huge sacrifice you have to make for the sake of home and hearth and happiness or somebody else's happiness okay slow and steady wins the race for emotional security and stability somebody else needs you somebody else needs you and is expecting you to stay even when you want to go open to infinite possibilities this is your star card the central energy you really do want to be in the spotlight but this is also a query and energy of truth the truth is going to come out Aquarius I mean it's not query is Libra the Aquarius energy is going to bring the truce and it's going to shine this light the truth about who you are that you're sort of yourself but I think like you're you're you're being bought into the spotlight to some capacity hold on hold on there's a lot out here out here reclaim your power something that's making you feel drained a circumstance or a situation that's making you feel like you lost yourself and you're stuck in an old situation that won't let you move forward time for a deep dive almost like it's almost like you're stuck in the shallows you're stuck in the beginnings instead of being allowed to move forward and you're being pulled back based on the good Oh like what's best for others because of what's best for others or because of what others want or desire or a pace that somebody else has set take a leap of faith ooh this is interesting this is almost like a shot in the dark an opportunity that arises or a thought or an idea that arises that says to you leap now or forever hold your peace truth transcends illusion this is more Aquarian energy of the truth revealing itself in the truth coming out in other words whether you like it or not here it comes the truth of what's really important to you Libra is coming out trust in divine detours this is the energy of creation because it adds up to seven something is going to be presented to you this week it's just gonna be presented to you and I feel like it's going to almost look like a light in the dark almost like a lifeline because where you are right now it's almost like yourself who you are is keeping you stuck in a circumstance or a situation where you're obligated to continue to ride out the stream of what is better for somebody else but centrally speaking it's ready it's time or you're ready or maybe some up somebody else it's almost like I don't know this could be a reverse scenario where you're drawing on somebody else's energy and they've had enough like they're the ones that are helping you shine and they're starting to feel diminished and dead inside like their life isn't going anywhere take time out you want some sort of escape you want some sort of break hold on make your dreams real no this is manipulative energy have you or somebody else this is basically the energy of you or somebody else whoever who's evers energy this is because we can always reverse it right this is the energy of somebody essentially saying I'm taking a break from you in order to manipulate you like threatening to leave someone in order to manipulate your sensitivity and proclivity toward wanting to make people happy and wanting to help other people out wanting to be a good thing wanting to be a helpful thing in other words somebody is this is major guilt trip somebody is trying to make you feel guilty for moving on with your life and stepping into the spotlight and it's working it's got you stuck rooted where you are knowing where you want to move forward that's exactly what's happening that's the energy and I really feel like you know it's almost bought you to this point Libra of because you've been struggling with this this has been a constant pull sort of on who you are sort of you know trying to find that balance you know trying to find that balance between what you're considering to be right and wrong and maybe this is the thing Libre it's not about right and wrong because right and wrong is different than balanced and unbalanced right balance unbalanced is good and bad right and wrong can be kind of subjective and they usually are subjective to what's right and wrong for a person so this week there is a clash between what somebody else wants and what you want and how they're manipulating energy to make you feel guilty about wanting what you want and the truth is is like the truth is it's it's working so there this has to be somebody who affects your life a good deal it could be a partner it could be a child it could be somebody who you feel obligated to some sort of family member just making you feel like like yes yes the the two things that the both of you want are clashing they're colliding but they don't feel bad that they're like understand this and I and I think I need to point this out to you because you're so fair and balanced minded they're not sitting there feeling guilty that what they want is crashing what what's with what's right for you they're just assuming that you're going to assimilate into what they want so that because what they want is right and understand Libra as usually you can get dragged into that energy you can get you can get caught up in it like yes what you want is right and you could you can be too accommodating and because of that there isn't so there's definitely a history with this circumstance or situation even if it's work even if it's your boss there's history with this circumstance or situation yeah there's there's a past and it's almost like they know they know no nothing no they expect they expect you to go along with what they want in other words there must have been some behavioral pattern set by you to always go along with them and the issue is you or at an impasse now this divine detour this lifeline that's thrown with you thrown at you is saying hey Libra come out here be the star you're the one that can make the breakthrough but leave all this other behind and it's almost like you really want to take it but you're almost not gonna take it because because you you you you might you you you are you are teetering I'm not taking what could be the biggest opportunity of your life because somebody else is making you feel bad about it hold on I want to flip the camera around and there you go see this and this is what's telling me this is what's telling me that there is an energy here that's almost like being defensively aggressive like take time out somebody or somebody is trying to keep you from walking away from them and taking time out or taking a break but it's almost like they're trying to pull your strings and in order to keep you where they want you or in order to in order to make you not walk away or there it's almost like they're they could be threatening you with walking away and taking time out of this relationship which makes you feel like you're failing it makes you feel like you're failing that the truth is you're not failing you're not failing at all this is definitely a much more personal situation than I imagined it to be this is the week of choosing do you want to serve your higher purpose do you want to serve your largest and fullest potential or you want to be in constant service to somebody else and their dreams and their dream fulfillment because I'll tell you right now these people in your life even if it's your boss doesn't have to be your husband or wife these people in your life are not gonna relinquish the asset that you are that easily and in some cases it might seem like they feel like you owe them you owe them because they've put a lot of time and energy effort into you they feel drained after what they have contributed to what they feel is your success and now it's like pay up you owe me and you didn't realize that that was an IOU because you felt like you were compromising on other things so this is a conflict of interest on both sides but it's almost like they're there they're able to manipulate you into thinking that you're the bad one for leaving and moving on and sometimes Liebherr at the end of the day we have to just make the decision maybe I have to be the bad guy because not because we really are because that's what we settle on that's the label we settle on for ourselves and it's the only thing that we can do to sort of let go and move on and then pick it up later and and reconcile it inside of ourselves because here is to Aquarius cards there there is a bigger purpose there is a bigger opportunity coming through for you this week and the the balance that you're struggling with the decision that you're struggling with is that do you maintain your face and your look of I want to be a good person and say no to it or instead do you go ahead and just grab it and take it and and follow it leaving somebody almost ravenous and very angry behind so let's go over to Tarot I'm going to expand this reading expand it and see what the way forward is and then also do this love reading and it could actually clarify a lot of that's going on because there is two cards here that really indicate this is a strong relationship something that you either love like a job that you love but it's a very it's probably a very personal relationship maybe something that died a long time ago but just keeps holding on and it's it's it's shallow it's like it's a shallow it's a shallow version of of itself of what it used to be and yet it's it's kind of stagnated it's keeping you in place because it can to drain you it's almost like draining blood from you to like you know put into a corpse it's like it's all it's doing is reanimating and it's not necessarily really alive anymore but there's a little part of you that would feel like a failure if you didn't keep giving this little sort of blood donation every week I know that sounds weird let's go over into Tarot the link is below Libra I'll see you over there

Jonah 2 - Out of the Belly of Hell
Jonah chapter 1 verse 17 it says now the Lord had prepared a great fish to swallow up Jonah and Jonah was in the belly of the fish three days and three nights now in the New Testament it tells us that fish is a whale and Jesus said of Jonah of this event that we're about to read he said that Jonah was a sign unto the Ninevites Jonah himself was part of the sign of what God was about to do so this story probably resonated not just his preaching but also the events that we're about to read here and of course we read about Jonah going down to hell we'll see that not on believe that Jonah actually went to hell because it's clear that he is still alive he's praying to God and that is part of the sign that is part of the symbology in that he went down he was down there for three days and he probably felt like it was hell you know we run into a lot of people out soul-winning that would say oh it's hell on earth no Jonah knew probably about Hell on earth he could if anybody say I think I know L honor it feels like although it had nothing to do with the heat he was in a bad situation he was a sign he went down in the earth it was all a picture of what Jesus would do for us in fact in Matthew 12:40 it says for as Jonas this is Jesus speaking was three days and three nights in the whales belly so shall the Son of Man be three days and three nights in the heart of the earth so Jesus made it clear Jonah went down for three days and three nights Jesus Christ went into hell he died went to hell for three days and three nights and of course he came back listen Jesus went to the heart of the earth that's what the Bible teaches Jesus went to hell this is what the Bible teaches and he did it to atone for our sins to pay that price you can't go to hell now because he's already paid that payment has been applied you can't lose your salvation and there are scalpers there that the Neyers that would say that that's not true Jesus didn't actually go to hell and you know they're kind of mixed up I think a lot of new people that are saved that are wrong in this doctrine and that's okay you know I mean but bible does say that the punishment for our sin is death and hell that's what it clearly says in the book of Revelation and there are other people I've had scalpers that would say Oh will you teach what what's up what some Pentecostal said I've heard some unsaved tongue talking devil Pentecostal say Jesus went to hell therefore I'm gonna say that you're teaching what they're teaching and you know I mean just because some unsaved Pentecostal got something right doesn't make them saved and it doesn't mean that I'm copying a Pentecostal the Bible is clear about this this has been the picture all along Jesus was the Lamb of God slain from the foundation of the world Jesus was a that Lamb that picture of the Lamb sacrifice that it died and they burned it that's what happened they burned that Lamb will guess what Jesus did he suffered in hell for our sin and there are people just because some Catholic talks about the Trinity that doesn't mean that we got it from the Catholics although the Catholics were 300 years after Christians they're fake Christians in the same way just because some kind of constable maybe they use some kind of consoles use the right Bible does that make them saved no of course not well the Methodists teach that Jesus is everlasting in heaven is everlasting does that make them save no does that mean we got our doctrine from the Methodists no listen there are a lot of false religions that get a little bit of the truth but they don't have the most important truths they're not believing in Jesus Christ alone for their salvation people will erroneously take the statement that Jesus made on the cross and he said it is finished and they say see that's when everything that was necessary for salvation was done however they're omitting a lot of Scripture and I've heard several pastors and preachers and want to be Christians attack this statement and say if you add to that then you're adding to salvation but the truth of the matter is they add to salvation well really they're there omitting salvation because we did not receive the Holy Spirit when Jesus died on the cross when Jesus said it is finished what he was teaching is his earthly ministry that the father had given him was finished at that point that was the end of it even after he died and went to hell and resurrected he said listen to this he said in John 20 he saith unto her touch me not for I am not yet ascended to my father but go to my brethren and say unto them I ascend unto my father and your father and to my god into your God Jesus was teaching that he had that spotless blood he still had to take it to heaven he did not yet do that so he warned them he said not to touch them and of course we know in that same passage he comes back and then he breathes on them and gives them the Holy Ghost after the blood was applied for our atonement in Hebrews 9 he says he of his own blood he entered once into the holy place having obtained eternal redemption for us listen redemption comes after the Ascension and then he gave way then he came back and gave the Holy Ghost and he spent another forty days and then he went back to heaven he ascended yet again so people that say when the Bible says it is finished that salvation was complete they're wrong there were other things that had to happen he had to take the blood and put it on the mercy seat he had to go to hell for our sins it didn't just happen at the death on the cross there are people that teach it that wrong if I was clear it says for three days he would be in the heart of the earth now there's another thing people get wrong where is the heart of the earth knows now heart is related to core we have a core inside of us art the center of who we are we call the organ in our chest the heart although that's not always what the Bible is talking about right our heart is in the center you know the center of your being who you are as to what the Bible reference is the thoughts and intentions of your heart God knows what's going on in your being in the center of who you are but the Bible says that Jesus went into the heart of the earth right like just like the belly of the whale was a picture jesus went down to hell and that is down to the center of the circle of the earth this should be kind of a no-brainer thing and you know I do not believe that the earth is a pancake or an ice cream cone or like a snow globe I know a lot of people that they say oh I think there's a flat earth and they show me something that looks like a snow globe and it's like well that's that's not really flat either you know what I mean and you know in Psalm 139 he says if I have sent up into heaven thou art there if I make my bed in hell behold thou art there where is hell down you have to descend into the lower parts of the earth hell is in the center of the circle even science would tell you that listen I don't believe the Bible over science I mean vice versa I don't believe science over the Bible I believe what the Bible says I believe the biblical record and scientists every day discover things that the Bible has already told us about nature and creation and they say well there's a there's a ball of magma there's lava at the center of the earth yeah that sounds like hell to me right Souls go down it talks about and there are a lot of people that have problems with that but you know I'm kind of old-school and I believe what the Bible says and I believe what I can see with my eyes you know science is something that we can observe you can observe the rising of the Sun you can observe the setting of the Sun you can observe how the light bounces off of the moon and you know I've had a flat earth or try to argue with me that well if you look at the moon it's its own light source however why do you see a partial moon why do you see the curve of the moon why is the moon just looked like a thumbnail sometimes wherever that curvature is you could draw a line through it and guess what you'll find the Sun that's observation that is true science science is observable knowledge science is not theory and yes there are many things that we have taken as theory that now have become you know mainstream and yes there is false information out there that we should be aware of but this the shape of the earth is in no way something that I think Christians should be arguing from in fact I think it looks it looks people look foolish and just if you would just observe the Sun in the moon it would disprove most of these Flatlanders you know what about the moon-landing wasn't that fake okay if the moon landing was fake does that in any way prove that the earth is flat does that in any way dictate the shape of the earth you know and it's silly that somebody even has to bring this up well I mean can't you send a camera up with a balloon yes and there are flat earthers that if sent cameras attached to balloons to try to disprove a a circle earth and they were made to look foolish because guess what you couldn't see the entire earth guess what you didn't see some major ice wall like they teach it's a bowl with with ice going up the sides and I say a 42 G you know it says and he sitteth upon the circle of the earth if you pull out your Spanish Bible that says globe and a flatlander would tell you I I I think you know the Bible should he use the word ball there will you take that up with God a ball is a toy a circle is a shape and when you look at a two-dimensional shape of a circle guess what in three dimensions that's a ball and you know what we're four dimensions we have time included as a dimension we have to look at time and you can't just point at two dimensions and say that defines everything it's kind of a silly argument because most most flat earthers do not believe in satellites at all they just don't believe they exist but you know I have actually worked on satellites I even stalled industrial satellites and a satellite has a guide to install it and you have to put it at a certain degree and it's based on where the satellite you're aiming at is this the receiving dish has to find that and if you're at the center of our of the of our globe right if you're around the center guess what a lot of these dishes points straight up your sound like this here if you drive by your neighbor's house hopefully your neighbor's house and they have a satellite dish for watching TV it's pointing at an angle you go to the center of the globe it's pointed up if you're shooting for that same bird guess what your angle changes depending on where you're at but most people don't they think that satellites are or a theory that they're really pointing at antennas they don't believe in magnetism or gravity and there's a lot strange science that goes behind it if you think I'm joking look it up they do not believe in gravity listen gravity was a theory and they tried to make it a law it is still a theory and it is relative to the Magnetic Pole of the earth well what does the magnetism come from well now how about the magma engine that's inside of the earth how about the molten lava that's swirling around and moving the poles of the magnetic north and south poles are moving since we've been able to observe them they are on a track they are moving why because of what's in the center of the earth the heart of the earth it's called hell Luke tani says in now Capernaum which are exalted to heaven shall be thrust down to hell there is not an accurate flatters for pancake earth or ice cream earth model whatever you want to call it they can show you a hell they all have a snow globe that's like the best one they can show you well guess what that's that's still kind of a globe but it's a flat I mean where there's no you either and most people do not believe hell is real most people want to tell you that hell is a myth or the hell is some trash heap on a hill somewhere and Israel that's not true hell is real it lasts forever and it is important part of the gospel if people don't think they're lost if they don't think there's a punishment for their sin you need to deal with that that is very important in Ephesians chapter forces now he that ascended what is it but that he also descended first into the lower parts of the earth system of Jesus Christ he's seen before spake of the resurrection of Christ that his soul was not left in Hell neither his flesh did see corruption in Ephesians 4 he goes on he that descended is the same also that ascended up far above all heavens that he might fill all things it's kind of a no-brainer Isaiah 5 it says therefore he'll have enlarged herself and open if her mouth and without measure and their glory and their multitude in their pomp and neither rejoices shall descend into it now Isaiah 5 is teaching something interesting hell is down we already know that there's plenty of verses on that but it says hell is getting larger and larger did you know that the earth is expanding did you know that the universe is expanding the earth grows larger and larger every year around the the oceans of the earth there's like the Ring of Fire where there's just crust constantly creating new volcanoes new islands and the earth is literally getting bigger and bigger and bigger because Hell has enlarged itself hell is at the middle and thousands of people who knows millions of people on a yearly basis are going to hell well guess what hell is enlarging itself that's what I believe that science that is supported by the Bible and second Kings 23 where it talks about bail warship it references they what they were worshipping the Sun when they're worshipping the devil right Bale is the devil and it talks to me says the Sun and the moon and the planets to all the hosts of heaven and of course a flatlander would say oh there it is there is no such thing as a planet well then you got a problem with your Bible maybe you got the wrong Bible because the Bible says there is a sign which is a star by the way and there is a planet those are two different things even Jesus Christ himself one of the references to him is that he is they the the morning star what star do you see in the morning the Sun the Sun is a star Jesus is also called the Sun of righteousness s UN is another Old Testament title for him so when we look at the Sun it's a representation of the light and the light that he gives us and of course those that worship the devil try to substitute and take away from Jesus Christ so there are those that would deny the plaint they say that planets are really stars they've got a lot of strange theories and but it should be a no-brainer and if you if you're a flatlander it's okay I don't hate you but I just want you to know that this is a biblical support and there's a lot more science and Bible that you can go into to believe this to see what God has said now let's go back to Jonah chapter 1 look at verse 17 where we started says now the Lord had prepared a great fish to swallow up Jonah and Jonah was in the belly of the fish three days and three nights chapter 2 verse 1 then Jonah prayed unto the Lord his God out of the fish's belly so he's in the fish's belly for three days and three nights and then he prayed unto the Lord my question is what was he gone for this first three days why did Jonah wait three days before he cried unto the Lord Jim I ever thought about that he rakesh said it's after three days then he prays unto the Lord from inside the fish's belly why would Jonah Wayne you know I think a lot of Christians a lot of people wait until they hear rock bottom until they deal with their problems you know and I think a certain part of it maybe because we as Christians we sin we break God's law we know it was wrong or you know and then we like we were feeling guilty and we don't ask your forgiveness we don't cry under the Lord we feel like maybe we're unworthy sometimes to go to the Lord petition the Lord when we know that we're guilty but you know that comes you to have to go to the Lord and say hey I was wrong it's a very humbling experience and you know we ought to be ashamed of our sin and ashamed of our mistakes and confess it to the Lord and seek forgiveness from him you know because who deserves mercy do we deserve mercy is there anybody in here that can just demand forgiveness well I deserve it because I do you do know listen it's a gift God's given us forgiveness and I find it interesting that Jonah it took him three days to humble himself before he confessed to the Lord his sin he was commanded to go preach to some people he refused to do it he went the other way God judged him he just you know almost destroyed that ship threw him down Jonah thought he was as good as dead right as a Suicider soul winner and then here now after three days of even I believe still miraculously being alive inside that whale's belly even after three days anything all this then he finally calls on the Lord I mean wouldn't you be calling on the Lord the moment that they're tossing over the ship you would think you know wouldn't you be calling at that moment that you realize you're inside of a whale inside of a creatures belly wouldn't you start calling on the name of the Lord then what do you think but look a lot of times as Christians we wait until we hit rock bottom and you know forgiveness and mercy is something that God has available to all of us especially wants us to come to him with with our petitions he says you have not because you ask not there are Christians that have baggage of sin things they did in the past things they did years ago because they're not willingness to come and ask the Lord to help them get over that listen if any of you in here struggle with some and the devil likes to whisper you know but that thing you did well remember used to run with so-and-so used to do such-and-such you know go to the Lord and ask him to just grant you forgiveness and clear your conscience it's something he died for it's not something you should be revisited with every day you know the first time that mercy is mentioned in the Bible is in Genesis chapter 19 right the famous story of the sodomites where they're dealing with a lot Genesis 19 19 it says I serve it have found that this is lost speaking grace in thy sight and thou has magnified thy mercy which thou has showed unto me in saving my life the first word the first time it's mentioned mercy in the Bible is when lot's confessing to the angel you've been merciful to me you've saved my life lot knew that he didn't deserve to be saved God wants to spare your life so that you'll work you'll work for him I mean lot ruined his family he was living in the worst part of the world like like the Tel Aviv or the Las Vegas or the San Francisco of America and do you think about like you know in law obviously he was he had a family I don't think he was a sodomite but he was there was a appealing things to the flesh if somebody in here got a job offer tomorrow in Sin City Las Vegas you're gonna make great money we're gonna give you a great car yeah there's all these wonderful shows of you can look at your eyes can lust after the desires of the world well guess what there's a bunch of perversion and sodomy and drunkenness and you may say well I'm not gonna take part in that I'm just going for the job well I believe you'd be making a mistake you'd be making a decision based on financial reasons instead of spiritual decisions look if you get that call to go to San Francisco to Las Vegas tomorrow hang up the phone shut it down don't do it here we would the outside of God's will that's why I believe why his life was spared he didn't deserve it he received mercy because because the Lord is merciful and He loves us he wants to help us look at the next verse here John a to 2 verse number 2 it says and said I cried by reason of mine affliction under the Lord and he heard me out of the belly of Hell cried I now hurts my voice out of the belly of Hell cried I and now it hurts my voice now turn to Psalm chapter 18 you know as we go through trials in life we're all going to be in difficult times we're going to have affliction and trials and here he's saying out of the belly of Hell cried I write the idea here is that what we should learn from this the takeaway is you need to cry to the Lord first and foremost you need to do it immediately you need to keep a short account with God don't ignore it when he's trying to get your attention don't wait until your life is destroyed before you're willing to turn in the flesh and get back in the will of God don't wait know that you can call on the name of the Lord in the time of need know that he wants you to call on him he sees your affliction and he's just waiting on you to call he's standing by at a moment's notice to be your Savior even in the flesh he's just waiting on you to call it's up to you will you call when you have trouble will you ask him for help will you trust him to provide that miracle listen forgiveness is reserved for us God loves us he wants us to have the best things you know maybe correction is still do as it was with Jonah he still had to be that did he had problems but you know mercy is available to all of us Christians God will be merciful and long-suffering God wants you to get back in his will and it's not his desire to see you just perish and to be punished but he will punish you he will also be merciful look here in Psalm 18 find verse number four verse number four it says the sorrows of death compass me and the floods of ungodly men made me afraid the sorrows of hell compass me about the snares of death prevented me in my distress I called upon the Lord and cried unto my god he heard my voice out of his temple and my cry came before him even unto his ears turned back to Jonah to know keep a finger in Jonah - we're gonna go back and forth there for a second we see David saying in my distress I called upon the Lord he heard my voice out of his temple right God's temple in heaven where God was that David was in distress he cried unto the Lord the Lord wanted to answer his prayer right David had a real rollercoaster of a ride of a life he made mistakes he did the wrong thing sometimes he was wrongly afflicted sometimes he was rightly Africa flicked it was of the Lord then he was being punished but God wanted him to trust in him and be willing to call on him in a time of need God wants us to know that we can go to him for help when it's needed look at verse number three Jonah two three four thou hast cast me into the deep in the midst of the Seas and the floods compass me a balla all thy billows and thy waves passed over me then said I I am cast out of thy sight yet I will look again toward thy holy temple as reeds almost identical to what we just saw in Psalm 18 but here he says something very interesting I'm cast out of thy sight listen when when the Lord behold you usually there's a blessing included I don't think that God could not see him I don't think that God was not looking at him it's clear that God was not blessing him right the curse of the Lord was on his life and in God's temple in heaven he could see Jonah and he was waning he was waiting for restoration he was waiting for Jonah to get his heart right and until then he was being corrected he was being cursed that's why he was cast out of his sight and hey that was kind of isn't that what he wanted originally to leave the side of the Lord he's gonna flee from the presence of the Lord and then God says okay you want to see what it's like to not have my presence around you you want to see what it's like to have a purse on your life because you've grieved God's Spirit instead of obeying and hearkening to it look at verse number five the waters compass to me about even to the soul the depth closed in round about me the weeds were wrapped about my head right and I believe this part is literal hey he was in the depths he's in the ocean he probably had weeds wrapped around his head maybe before the whale maybe even inside of the whale he had to had a struggle a fight from the things that the whale was eating so he's in the belly of the whale he's making these cry look at verse 6 I went down to the bottoms of the mountains the earth with her bars was about me forever yet hast thou brought up my life from corrupt from corruption Oh Lord my God remember Jesus was resurrected from corruption Neeraj omen is still alive still in the belly now I believe part of this begins to be symbolic or that sign that Jesus talked about where he's talking about hey I was at the bottoms of the mountains and maybe he was a very deep in the ocean but I don't I wouldn't say he's at the very bottoms of those mountains in the ocean but not saying the earth has her borrowers around him and I wouldn't I would definitely say that he has not fallen into corruption he was not dead he was still speaking so I believe there's a transition here where he is as he has a penitent heart he's churning and the Lord begins to fill him with his spirit he's saying things that are recorded for our benefit so that we know what happened and he's prophesying things of what would happen you know he begins to speak of the resurrection you know being restored from that corruption right he's seen this before spake of the resurrection of Christ that his soul was not left in Hell neither his flesh did see corruption it says in Acts chapter two look at verse number seven when my soul fainted within me I remembered the Lord and my prayer came in unto thee into thine holy temple hey God's in heaven he hears your prayer Christian listen to me I don't care how bad you got it if you're still alive you can fix things with God God can restore you you may look and say yeah but I've messed up so much I've done all these things wrong it doesn't matter how bad you are in the world's eyes God can still use you and that maybe maybe now you have a testimony maybe now you'll have some zeal about rebuking sin in your life and staying on track for God how how how passionate do you think he Jonah came out of the belly thinking like I got to go preach hey just stop with me no I got to go I bet he was scared to death to turn off the course why because he just experienced death why because he was at the bottom of his life he was at the rock bottom he's at the end of it he's I'm about to die lord help me save me spare me right he knew he was supposed to be working for God instead he had something else he was going and I believe that because he asked sincerely God blessed him he heard his prayer you know it's all McKean we read this it said in my distress I called upon the Lord and cried unto my god he heard my voice out of his temple and my cry came before him even to his ears God hears our every prayer hey we have not because we ask not we don't have forgiveness we don't have remission of sins sometimes because we're not willing to humble ourselves and just ask God for it hey there are people that are afraid to go to church because they know they're gonna be confronted with God with his preaching with His Word with the lifestyle they should be living and maybe there are some Christians that need to repent of their sin so they can just make it to church right the idea of preaching is so that you hear the warning you know what God expects and then you repent of that sin if you get it right there are a lot of Christians are afraid to even go you know as born-again Bible believers let me just remind you again we have access to help from the Almighty God from our Creator and you know many people cried unto Jesus can you imagine walking with Jesus and just seeing that the cripples and the the family and only just the people lord help me Lord heal me Lord forgive me Lord that you know I mean just imagine the amount of people that yell did Jesus holler like yelling crying unto Him begging him and he answered their petition he answered their prayer and now he's up in heaven he's ascended he's next to the Father he wants to answer your prayer as well hey we have an advocate with the father are you asking are you seeking are you knocking are you looking for redemption alright he's saying hey get back to work and your Lord help me with this sin as I get back to working you know I believe when you're in God's will it's easier to reject sin because you're walking with his spirit and Hebrews 4 he says let us therefore come boldly unto the throne of grace that we may obtain mercy and find grace to help in time of need listen Christian you're saved your name is written down in the book of life in heaven nothing can get it taken out of that book well guess what that means you have an advocate with the father guess what that means he has something he wants you to do and if you're not doing it you need to ask him for forgiveness you need to seek his will in your life you know you need to get on track with God he will forgive you and you need to do it boldly I think there are a lot of Christians that are too timid to ask for forgiveness whereas they need to be bold about it like I said we don't deserve it Who am I to demand anything of God but with confidence in his provision I boldly ask him to forgive my sin knowing that it's already forgiven knowing that it's taken away from my account now I have a clean slate now let's move forward now let's get back work for God look here in Jonah to look at verse number eight I love this statement here look at this this statement they that observe lying vanities for safe their own mercy they that observe lying vanities for safe their own mercy what is a lying vanity it's an idol it's a false god it's a false gospel it's a false prophet right it's a fake church what is a liability it's an idol it's your television it's rush limbaugh if that's who you go to for your source what am I gonna do today how do I know how to act how do I know what decisions to make for the future I don't know let's ask Alex Jones well guess what that's a lying vanity he doesn't know what God knows she doesn't have the source of truth like the Bible has in Psalm 31 he says I have hated them that regard lying vanities but I trust in the Lord I have hated them the trust in the idols in the false prophets in the false Bibles in the false churches I hate them right all right trust in the Lord they did observe lying vanities have forsaken their own mercy hey look there's no mercy from a false God those there's no redemption from a false God there's no restoration from a false God you know and this reminds me of the repent of your sins that's a lying vanity look at me I turn from everything and now I know that I know you don't that's a lie that is deception people that teach you have to be willing to turn from all your so you have to choose sin or Christ which one is it pick one that's a lie that's a false gospel that's the works of the devil someone 19 verse 1 36 he says I hate and abhor lying the thigh law do I love I hate Chick tracts I hate false Bibles I hate fake churches look I want to get the people saved I the false prophets now the people that are deceived I love them I'll spend all the time I need when I'm at their door when I can have it look show them out of the Bible even I want to know what it says great I'll show you right but a false prophet well why don't you go toe to toe why don't you go show those false prophets whose boss they know who's boss they forsaken him right there observing lion vanities right well he's warning us here about this I want you to turn to Jeremiah chapter 5 keeping your finger in Jonah chapter 2 we'll be back Jeremiah chapter 5 in Joshua 24 it says and if it seem evil unto you to serve the Lord choose you this day whom you will serve whether the gods which your father's served that we're on the other side of the flood or the gods of the amorite s-- in whose lands eat well but as for me and my house we will serve the Lord he goes on he says in the people answered and said god forbid that we should forsake the Lord and serve other gods right there are Christians today that are forsaken the right Bible they have forsaken the right church they've forsaken church altogether you know but look we don't want to be with them there may be people that are saved that are in in error maybe God will correct them maybe they'll get it right we don't know but they're a bunch of false Christians that have forsaken the Lord and they're serving another god they're making God into their own image well my god wouldn't hate the homos and my god you know he wouldn't send people to hell my god is just rainbows and flowers and butterflies well guess what your God is a lie lying vanity it's deception and you're sending people to hell by even spreading that doctrine we need to be warned of it we need to warn others and those that follow those types of things they literally forsake their own mercy God says hey forgiveness of sins is in my son and they say well you know I don't like some of the stuff in that Bible well then you're forsaking your mercy you're forsaking your forgiveness there are people that lie in their heart they lie in their heart but they say in their mouth well of course I believe in Jesus of course I believe in God right if you're lying about faith listen they're a Christian faith Christians people that we would look at and say well I've heard their confession they know if they obviously read the Bible there's a lot of soul-winning think of Judas he lied he was damned he did not have faith in the Lord Jesus Christ for salvation he had a crowd mentality I can please the crowd I know what the right answer is I know what to say I'm off their radar they think I'm one of them but God knows the truth they will be damned they will burn in hell listen if you know somebody that you suspect like that you need to assure them up if you are somebody that's lying in your heart about really trusting in the Lord you need to get it right I think God loves you he died for all your sin it's your decision it's your opportunity don't think you can fake somebody out God knows the truth God hates lying he warns us about lying look at Jeremiah chapter 5 where you guys are at look at verse number 7 verse number 7 how shall I pardon thee for this thy children have forsaken me and sworn by them that are no gods when I had fed them to the fool then they committed adultery and assembled themselves by troops in the harlots houses again false gods false temples false churches false Bibles false prophets we should reject that these people had forsaken God they served another God God ends up forsaking them keep your you're here turn back to Jonah chapter two I just want you to see this verse one more time well I really want to hammer this in I love this phrase and it's so deep and yet one small sentence they were say that for sake I'm sorry they that observe lying vanities forsake their own mercy it's up to us whether or not we'll have mercy it's up to us whether or not we're observing the right God go back to Jeremiah five verse number one he says run ye to and fro through the streets of Jerusalem and see now and know and seek in the broad places thereof if you can find a man if there be any that executed the judgment that seeketh the truth and I will pardon it verse 2 and though they say the Lord liveth surely they swear falsely they're lying about it they say oh I know God I'm a Christian but they're lying there they're swearing falsely look at verse 7 how shall i pardon thee for this thy children have forsaken me and sworn by them that are no gods they're swearing by something by a false God they have rejected their own mercy now I'm gonna show you so go back to Jonah - real quick and then we're gonna go to Ecclesiastes chapter 5 in Jonah chapter 2 we're gonna read verse number 9 once you get there and I want to show you something really cool I discover a long time ago about the number 5 and the word lying now this isn't some mystical Gamay trio of thematics I'm not going to teach you something out of the Talmud I found several passages in the Bible that warned us about swearing falsely making a lie or or or making a vow and not keeping our oath and they're all in chapter 5 so we're gonna look at a few of these we just read in Jeremiah chapter 5 about those that swear falsely about believing in God right he calls them liars look at Jonah 2 where you're at verse number 9 he says but I will sacrifice unto thee with the voice of Thanksgiving I will pay that I have vowed salvation is of the law now go to Ecclesiastes chapter 5 so Jonah is saying hey I've vowed to work for God and I have failed I went the other way right he prophesied in his hometown but he neglected to go prophesied to the enemy when God commanded him he said I vow I'll work for you I'll be your prophet Lord and but then it's like oh well I don't like that right can you imagine if you said Lord I'll go anywhere you want me to go I'll be your man our Lord I want to preach for you I'll be right here and they says okay go where it's hot I don't want to go go go it's cold well I don't want to go there go to the other side of the world where you where you don't have any technology well I don't want to do that right you make a vow unto the Lord and then you change your mind once you find out what God expects of you Lord I'm willing I'll do anything you want and then he wants something that's difficult in the flesh and all the sudden you start changing your mind well let's have you start breaking your vow to God listen this is a warning in Proverbs he talks about there are six things that he hates yes seven are an abomination right two of those things are lying it says a proud look a lying tongue because only says a false witness that speaketh lies God hates liars God hates it when people speak lies especially his people listen we as Christians we have found the truth we should not exaggerate we should not allow ourselves to lie even if you say something that's not quite true as it's coming out of your lips and you need if you need to call it back is that hold I'm sorry maybe I maybe I over spoke I'm sorry maybe that wasn't the truth maybe that's more of my opinion right we need to be clear and say hey this is my opinion this is what I think I could be wrong but this is what God says and I know it's true it comes out of the Bible we as Christians need to make sure that that we're saying things that are right and that are accurate you're in Ecclesiastes 5 hold on there real quick in John James 5 he says but above all things my brethren swear not neither by heaven nor by earth nor neither by any other oath but let your EA be a and your nay be nay lest you fall into condemnation if you're not sure you don't answer if somebody said well what about brother so-and-so some guy we see on the Internet are you 100% sure he's a false prophet well you know maybe ninety if I don't have enough evidence I'm not gonna say I'm 100% sure those that we can clearly see or false prophets that are preaching another gospel I'm 100% sure yeah I'll swear according to the Bible's version of the gospel and his version of the gospel they are different that's a false prophet hey it's my thing I think that guy's wrong I think he's doing the wrong way what God allows us room for opinion but sometimes as Christians we exaggerate and we don't use it he says swear not you're better off not to swear it all which means promise all I promise I'll Hale if you're not sure you can do it do not promise either say yes or no well I don't want to offend them and say no hey God says you're better off not to swear and just say no please won't you come do this no no why are you telling me no cuz I can't do it and I'm not gonna I'm not gonna lie to you now and I'm not gonna lie to you then I want to make sure I do the right thing you're in Ecclesiastes 5 look at verse number 2 it says be not rash with thy mouth and let not thine heart be hasty to utter anything before God for God is in heaven and now upon earth therefore let thy words be few be careful what you say to God be careful what you promise to the Lord this is why we don't have altar calls I'm not gonna get a bunch of music and make you emotional and come down and have you forswear yourself before God oh god I'm so tired of my sin I'm gonna stop it all tomorrow be careful you swear unto God you you say something that you can't even deliver under God he says let thy words be few don't be hasty what you promise God listen you can have forgiveness of the sin in your past without swearing that you'll do it again right what you ought to say is Lord I'll try my best but don't you dare come to God and say Lord I won't do it again whoa careful you're in the flesh you're still a human being you're on earth he's in heaven only he could make such a statement you know don't just tell God what you're gonna do just ask your forgiveness and then go do it go look for rip ecco turn your life around Oh promise something you can't deliver look at the next verse verse number three for a dream cometh through the multitude of business and a fools voice is known by the multitude of words when now those two vow unto God defer not to pay it for he had no pleasure in fools pay that which thou hast vow'd so Jonah here was not pleasing the Lord he vowed he would prophesy he bowed he'd be a man of God and then all of a sudden he was going the opposite direction and according to this verse here God has no pleasure in a fool that says he's going to do something and not do it look at the next verse better is it that thou should ask not thou then that thou should just bow and not pay if I ask you to do something don't feel guilty of telling me no don't feel guilty and saying well I'll do the best that I can but if you say yes you should do it just and that goes for me too if you ask me to do something and I'm not sure I can may now I want you to come over to my house now I'm not sure I can make it I'm gonna tell you well I'll try the best that I can I'm not trying to be evasive I just want to be honest I don't want to commit to something and then have to come back and say well I didn't do it I'm sorry I forgot I changed my mind look just say no be willing to tell people to know so you're being honest look at verse 6 suffer not thy mouth to cause thy flesh to sin neither say thou before the angel that it was an error wherefore should God be angry at thy boys and destroy the work of thine hands this is exactly what happened to Jonah he destroyed the ship he destroyed he was destroying Jonah's life to get Jonah's attention he said he would do something he did not he calls his flesh to sin he was in error God was angry at his voice listen God wants to hear from us he really does God wants to hear it hear from us to ask for forgiveness even when we bout a vow that we've broken now turn to Leviticus chapter 5 in Acts chapter 5 it says a certain man named Ananias with Sapphira his wife sold a possession and kept that part of the price his wife also being privy to it and brought a certain part and laid it at the Apostles feet but Peter said so he sold something he had said he was gonna bring it all now look he didn't have to bring any of it he didn't have to bring a dime but he said he was gonna bring it he for swears himself so his wife knew what was going on maybe he sold it for more than he thought he would get instead he just brings a portion a fraction up a part of it he says I'm gonna bring it so he brings it and look at verse 3 he says you're not there he says but Peter said Ananias why hath Satan filled thine heart to the light of the Holy Ghost they made a promise I'm bringing this money for the church and then he comes well this is yeah it's all of it it's all of it okay so he lied not to men trying to impress men though in the flesh I'm gonna press these guys imma tell him I brought it all who's he lying to the Holy Ghost Satan tempted him to lie to the Holy Ghost he says him to keep back part of the price of the land whilst it remained was it not thine own and after it was sold was it not in thine own power why hast thou conceived this thing in thine heart thou hast not lied unto men but unto God he came in saying I sold it here's all of it and he lied he's making a vow he didn't keep it he's lying before God what happened you know the story God strikes him dead his wife comes in and reaffirms the lie he does the same thing he strikes her dead it was in his power while he still had it he could have came in and said you know what I sold the land but I only brought half here's half that would have been good enough cuz he's telling the truth he could have brought none of it he coulda brought just a tide of it and that's good enough because he's being honest but when he exaggerated when he lied God saw it worthy of listen as Christians we need to let our ABA and our Navy nee this is so important if you promise god you need to do something and it's too much you need to go to him and deal with it don't just ignore him don't think you can get away with it you've made a promise a vow unto God you better keep your vows if you're a Leviticus five right look at verse number one and if the soul sin and hear the voice of swearing and as a witness whether he has seen or know of it or if he do not utter it then he shall bear his iniquity he's saying is we see somebody sin we see somebody's sin by spiced swearing you're a witness to somebody making a swear making a vow I promise I will do such and so right you are used as a witness they still use on contract you know so you know if you don't if you sign your name to a contract and it's for your buddy so you can get a cell phone and then the cell phone company called you before the court to say this is your witness your buddy got this cell phone right because now he's denying it well you cannot favor your buddy you cannot deny the truth you must say yes I was a witness yes he signed that yes he signed up for that he made that agreement right this Bible is warning us here about seeing somebody swear and then they try to get out of it and you are a witness then it becomes iniquity to you you will bear the punishment of sin if you try to go back on what you saw or if you keep quiet and don't admit what you actually saw right letting someone break promises like a cover-up is not mercy cover-up is not mercy in this step somebody comes to you says hey I need to borrow $20 you say okay here's $20 you go keep it it's a gift at that point they're off the hook now if they say no I'm gonna pay you back now meet person that's they know keep it it's a gift but tell them more than once because hey that's human things a lot of times people are just trying to be kind they want to do the right thing if they persist no I'm gonna pay you back okay you can pay me back but at that point that person is or they've made an oath they made of now they're going to pay it back if they don't pay it back it becomes a sin unto them right I wanted it to be a gift unto you instead you had to go and support swear yourself you had to make it a vowel no no I'm gonna pay you I'm gonna pay you I'm gonna make it right you know that somebody offers you a gift you should take the gift if you promise to pay something back you better pay it back or it's as good as stealing in God's eyes you're breaking his law God hates it when somebody lies look at verse number 4 Leviticus 5 verse 4 we're at the sole swear pronouncing with his lips to do evil or to do good whatsoever it be that a man shall pronounce with an oath and it be hid from him when he knoweth it right when you remember that he swore such a thing then he shall be guilty and one of those all right so if you say if you swear to do good or evil now evil means harm it does not mean wickedness if you say well I know who stole your thing I'm gonna go up there but I'm gonna do some harm to them right you shouldn't swear that but if you do and you remember it it becomes a sin because you didn't do it if you were just talking tall to look big guess what you've lied you've sinned you'll bear your iniquity if you swear I'm going to do good I'm gonna go over there and mow their grass for them if you say you're going to do it and you don't do it it becomes a sin unto you look at the next verse verse number five and it shall come to pass when he shall be guilty in one of these things that he shall confess that he hath sinned in that thing now go on to Psalm chapter five so of course you confess your sin you get it right before God you make amends so when you get when you reminded that you make that you swore to do something that you didn't do you need to make it right God doesn't want us going around and just making a bunch of promises and breaking them because look we're supposed to walk in the in the steps of Christ you're supposed to be like him he didn't lie he didn't deceive anybody he wasn't braggadocio and making claims that he couldn't back up and we should not be that way either and if you find yourself that you just have a bragging tongue or you exaggerate or you make promises you can't keep you need to fix it you need to do everything you can to fix it go to God and say Lord to help me fix it don't go say I promise I'm going to stop alright cuz in you're right back in square one where you're making a vow unto God that you can't keep don't make promises especially to God if you haven't fulfilled it make it right look at Psalm verse Psalm chapter five verse number four for thou are not a man that hath pledged have pleasure in wickedness neither shall evil dwell with thee so God he has no pleasure in wickedness earlier we saw in Ecclesiastes that he has no pleasure in a fool look at the next verse the foolish shall not stand in thy sight thou hatest all workers of iniquity thou shall destroy them that speak leasing the Lord will abhor the bloody and deceitful man now leasing is an old word for lying you can see it in context here where it talks about the deceitful man but flip back one chapter to Psalm 4 we'll see it again you can see in context leasing is a form of lying and he says he will destroy those that lie he hates the bloody and deceitful man so on 4 verse 1 it says hear me when I call o God of my righteousness thou hast enlarged me when I was in distress have mercy upon me and hear my prayer o ye sons of men how long we turn in my glory into shame how long we love vanity and seek after leasing so again these are people that change the truth into a lie they're turning his glory into shame and they're speaking lessee is deceitfulness so we've seen where in Jeremiah 5 Leviticus 5 proverbs 5 Ecclesiastes 5 acts 5 and James chapter 5 the Lord hates lying and I'm sure there are many other places we know there's a ton of places we can apply maybe there's another chapter 5 that you know about but I just find it interesting all these fives how they line up you know in the Lord said hey there are six things j7 that I hate that's what we're looking at here God hates it when we're deceitful when we lie as Christians we should not do that and I a lot of people as a little white lie or it's not that big of a deal in God's eyes telling a lie is a big deal and listen up children God hates lying God punishes liars it says he destroys the work of their hands he destroys the work of your hands children if you think it's okay to lie to mom and dad God will judge you you may pull one past mom and dad because they don't know it all but God knows it all and God will judge you God will make sure you get in trouble for something or something else God judges Hey salvations of the Lord go back to Jonah chapter 2 he said he said they that observe lying vanities forsake their own mercy there are people that are given over to these lying vanities they know it's a lie when they believe it they they're not just deceived they put their trust in a lie but salvation is of the Lord God wants us to have salvation and Jonah chapter 2 so he made a vow to serve God he prophesied in his own hometown we saw that last week and now I didn't want to go where he was supposed to go so he sent the enemy and you know that they attacked there that Jonah ran away he broke his oath God punished him and so Jonah essentially confessed it as he's here in the belly he's crying out to the Lord he's prophesying of what's happening to him and out of the belly of hell he cries under the Lord Lord hears his cry so Jonah forsakes Jonah's starts to get it right saying ok I'll keep my vow that I've made under the Lord right he's gonna go do what Jonah is saying when he brings up this vow is I'm going to go do what you've told me to do Lord I will now be obedient as I should have the beginning now look at the last verse here verse number 10 and the Lord spake unto the fish and it vomited out Jonah upon the dry land so after Jonah confessed that he had made a vow and broke his vow and he got that right then the Lord rewarded him spared his life something he did not deserve Jonah received mercy because he was observing the Lord he was not observing lying vanities listen there are many idols in the world fake Christians fake gospel the television Talking Heads those things are just lying vanities and if you observe them too much you're going to forsake your own mercy you know I think some Christians that are more worried about their a bug-out mentality I'm gonna dig a hole and I'm gonna save a bunch of food well maybe the Lord would lead you somewhere else maybe maybe you saw a disaster will strike and ruin those goods the Lord may may destroy the work of your hands because you've been observing these lying vanities but the but salvation is of the Lord right we see this pattern in Jonah he got it right he admitted he was wrong God saved him even from rock-bottom God is very loving he wants you to know that you can go to him he can spare your life in 1st John 1 he says if we say that we have no sin we deceive ourselves and the truth is not in us if we confess our sin he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and cleanse us from all unrighteousness listen Christian you have access to the Father you have access to the Almighty God that created everything do not wait until you hit rock bottom before you get things right do not listen to the false gods of the world and hearken to their voice right call on the Lord search him in his scriptures he can be found ask him for forgiveness and make it right God will bless you let's pray Lord God Almighty thank you for your word Lord thank you for this interesting story about Jonah lord I pray that you would bless our understanding as we move forward or it help us to learn from the lessons of Jonah lord help us not to walk in the path we are not lord help us rather to get a right in the way that you want us to go lord help us especially the children to learn how much God hates lying lord help us the adults not to forsake the truth and to exaggerate Lord even if we say something that we ought not lord help us to just be Christian enough to get it right and we know that you'll bless us we know that you'll forgive us Lord thank you for the forgiveness you provide thank you for your mercy we love you thank you Jesus amen all right in closing let's go to song number 327 song number 327 higher ground song number 327 [Music] [Applause] [Music] I'm pressing on the 'we new heights on game [Music] as I'm on board bound or lift me up and let me stand stable [Music] you're playing my meat on you stay where down so those made where these about we are

Azorius Control vs Gruul Werewolves | FNM 02-18-22 | Round 1
okay so round one it's actually me versus garrison it's crazy it hasn't happened in a long time yeah we did super effective i picked bulbasaur and you picked uh ranger he picked fire fire yeah steady uh sure like a wolf like you know what's in my hand nice i don't know because you you minimize the screen it's true and then move to combat trigger for the counter here going to 11. you don't get it i don't do not get a drug correct nope yeah okay go ahead oh no sorry play that go ahead [Music] everything flash first strike protection from god creatures when it enters exile to one target attacking our blocking creature until sugar leaves it okay goodbye evie would like block yep i keep reading to bring the true tokens i found them all right [Music] four i think something gives you a train so what do we want to do do anything don't think i am so turn it into a 5'3 so you take five off this one [Applause] flips that's right so you gain a life between one and then you can eleven oh eleven yeah i went the wrong one sorry i mean yeah you always draw it right your turn i forgot to use run last turn uh plus that good i don't know if there's any staple effects uh so bend this [Music] five thank you i also forgot the ranger class trigger last year holy cow uh huge combat just like it lived triggered correct no it's only until end of turn right all right it will be it will be a 500 yes okay uh trigger from here good blocks yep the seven seven it is a seven seven correct this is sensitive yeah block the seven set okay uh take five go six look at my face under your butt sure make a couple cats i don't like me it could be something no it says your turn you didn't cast anything yep dude there's something all over the edge of these tables nice you're at eight right yeah i don't know no you still only keep two yeah play land it's minus run like a tree fort uh through chariots whaler crew the because i'm not thinking i mean yeah you have this game like i have one blocker and if i block the biggest thing i'm still taking a minimum of eight yeah like you literally played around cinco pay without knowing my list the ranger class i wasn't even i wasn't even thinking about it i didn't have a three drop yeah i just had two literally always kept up one mana the entire time the entire game insight yeah zero cards free yeah of course i had two single fades too like oh he had more mana than me question is outside of combat damage and like you flash blocking how do i get rid of the what's his face the hull burger ideally i wouldn't have played that uh without protection yeah wait you jumping all over me yeah how though the thing with the creature with first strike and flash how big was that uh two two let me double check because that's literally the first time i've played it i'll be on the play i like to point out i had 25 lines and i saw nine because i've been two of them i didn't think you had that many loot triggers getting ahead because you can't miss land rover that's right i thought about running 26 lanes i was like i want more cards now i will not draw enough lands i started thinking about that like simic ramp enchantment ramp whatever you know how many lands do you play if you're playing extra land 28 i have played 27 on quite the occasion the other question is because you need some basics like some large number of basics and what is that correct number 10 because that's in a two color deck that's how many betas i have i don't i never picked up the uh islands and i don't want to now i've got i think i have five of each but only four planes gotcha i have like eight swamps eight oh i think i have ten salons 10 planes and i think actually might be a 10 on all of them except for i think i'm at like four okay which does not go very well like you're only running eight or hate basics [Applause] i will so too much hair in the sleeves still yeah it's the one thing i don't like about when you get new double sleeves and then you're gonna draw a card and like top two flip over or something and that's gonna happen anyways it's literally one up and it was in my opener and the six card oh really yeah 21. it really wants to be in your hand yeah apparently i don't want it awesome yeah are you gonna have to probably read everything enters with three charge counters pay two and tap remove a charge counter draw card if there are no charge counters on it create a treasure token and a one one colorless pilot creature with this crew creature cruise vehicles as though it's power two or greater gotcha which i believe means it can crew three yeah which we're right it's power work two greater okay we're two oh we're two greater yeah two ordered or two greater all right um and i forgot to bring treasures oh i brought clues in case someone else uses faithful absence on me i'm not treasures naturalist uh is amazing oh thanks daytime make some man attack and then you're just killing all your own stuff add green huh okay your turn yep move to combat yep destroy um trigger here put a counter on this guy so three four five six up played my land i will pass don't have anything to do with man anyways stop the bleeding even though it was basically one for one cast storm saver sure move to combat double room sure he just oh uh trigger here so oh shoots this right is it axillary one two strikes fifty yep cast anything that turn uh just activated it doesn't it doesn't matter but try to like scratch it plus mhm i thought you had another wanderer like flush it and kill it but um okay oh laughs farewell creatures and enchantments creatures and enchantments yeah sure unfortunately it doesn't exile they're destroyed just oh no they are exiled sorry they are actually i don't know that it matters and okay with this pass i mean i mean i think so sorry um make the dude level this up find us make the dude either make a dude right so i need a draw yeah is that one light blinker like you pass yeah i mean it's not a creature right now no if you need to kill him i'm sure yeah i have to try to kill him did you cast two spells i did no i didn't i doom scarred and then oh and then yeah i did two things yeah yeah yeah you did two things just not yeah um activate for four combat yes this one which just says itunes game but it's a toothpick booster which likes a lot of your attackers paul's seven seven great it just oh long enough you can't just i just can't base the power toughness it's not great at one but once it's you know chapter two and three mm-hmm one two three four five six seven so make it a 77 yes i have enchanted creatures but oh all right go to attacks go ahead and draw all sorts of all sorts of random uh this can't come back or can uh i think it does because it's a permanent yeah so put this over here yeah all right well i'm in the 4-4 yeah you did definitely have to do a bunch of math huh uh i'll pass feels like yes if there's only so many things you can take isn't going to keep drunk yes you don't whip out on the hands ever i think yeah dude you drew one lane when you drew an extra card i drew another language through an extra card uh mine is make-up i opened one because uh i'll break here and bounce my dude i had a spell sure gotcha yeah [Applause] did like my first round i'll pretend like i have counter spells did you cast there's a lot that happened right yeah i guess i have to try to rebuke that to get back player pass does not feel good like at all okay you basically have to chain together a whole bunch of stuff stand together like two creatures off the top because i don't like it i'm gonna go that also makes sense yeah one valerie stance i'm okay with the second one i did not want to pull the trigger on that but because i want i wanted to catch a wrath i just couldn't get that far behind yeah okay and then i have to replay the other one so now i'm expectedly doubling the mana cost from what the idiots what do you mean having no card draw i didn't have much harder you have ranger class you have write your classes on dragon cards no it plays off the top sure yeah yeah the pack later early not that game you didn't that was game one what'd you uh until it's huge especially if you put in some of the the new lands the channel lands yeah i i thought about it before they came and just didn't change anything yeah the green one seems like it would be okay that's a one-off believe it or not the bank buster yeah i wasn't sure how well it would do but that seems pretty good it's kind of like um what was the artifact that was like two mana and then you can tap it in scribe or you can pick two to draw a card uh map yeah no it was it just rotated oh i don't remember what it was but it was like when you when you remember the last counter you gained for life oh dude let's take a good replacement i'm sure somebody will let us know in the comment section below if they watched us for sideboarding yeah again the one of that i don't really want is in my opener um what is the keypad the one that you don't want yeah i didn't have something i guess i could have put it taken it out put something else in it yeah i didn't really have anything that i really wanted it's not nothing you wanted to put in or nothing like at least i'm on the draw on this mulligan hopefully your juju hurts yourself and not right that seems like people that run more than 25 lands i don't understand how you do it how you play valika like i float on 25 so hard and then i get screwed on 24. yeah maybe i need to do 25 of the 61 card deck i don't know or you need a couple of uh flip plans that are like spells or creatures so it only run like 23. something like that yeah because they they're a partial or something like that like out for a partial acceptable good um debatable conspiracy green i thought just sit he's part owner of one of our operations sure you didn't course yeah sure i didn't know that i really fit the criteria you know you have a lot of stuff on it you should still always apply let's turn three for everybody who's watching turn three nothing wrong with this trinity can't even afford to cast a spell because i have to keep up removal and i get people everywhere from i did call center help desktop working at burger king to i've been in the industry for 30 years and i'm doing whatever and like you're waiting for this is going to be one spell game for me go ahead get what you're asking yeah so end up going hey we'll see how it goes like if like i have to actually draw just naturally draw abort wipes and i didn't like let me think about it is right yeah the thing's like a very confrontational uncertain thing the other person i think i'm pretty sure i'm dead yeah it's 12 right yeah this is stupid i hate every single part of that deck just saying like this cards in particular and ranger class in particular are both just posted cards like i literally cast two spells well sorry three i cast valor's stance okay but yeah it's like

LEARN076 Confusion and errors
JOHN HATTIE: Well, here is something that's really so important in the classroom. And it's very sad when you look at the research on error, and that when a kid makes a mistake in a classroom, 40% to 50% of the time, the teacher corrects the error. 40% to 50% of the time, the teacher asks another kid and they correct the error. About 5% to 10% of the time, they ignore the error. And about 5% to 10% of the time, they use the error as an opportunity to understand how the person thought that way. Now of course, there's an esteem issue. You don't want to show the student he's stupid in front of his peers. And so building trust not only between the teacher and the student, but between the students is really critical. And no matter how much I've used this concept with teachers, I've struggled, because errors are always seen as a dirty word. People have used words like productive failure. We use the concept of the learning pit-- and certainly at the deep stage, not at the surface level stage. At the surface level stage, if the student is making an error, get in there and help them fix it. But at the deep stage, it's OK to wallow in the confusion. It's OK to go into the pit of learning and explore the concept of what error is and what the mistakes are. Because if you think of a lot of the science and the advancement of science that's come through error, it has not come from someone going out there just adding more blocks to the equation. Someone has looked at the whole world from a different perspective. And how do you use that? Because if you come into a situation and you don't know, then it's really important that the teacher knows what you don't know. So I cannot overemphasize the importance of errors, the opportunity to make errors, the mistakes we have, seeing that as legitimate, that we ask our students to try again. We ask them to engage in challenge. It's based on errors. We ask them to play sport. All sport is focused around mistakes the opposition make and how we as a team can make the opposition make mistakes. It's no different in the learning equation. And those students who turn out to be our best learners are the ones who say, this is hard, I want to give it a go-- not, this is hard, I can't do it. So those students who are prepared to see errors as the essence of learning are our most successful learners. Because every time we go into a situation where we're trying to get some relationships between ideas, we're trying to do deep learning, more often than not we're confused. Sometimes we have too much information and we don't know how it relates together. And then we fall over because it's just too much to learn. And we haven't made those links and relationships, which is the key of deep learning. Sometimes we just can't see how it works. We don't know what the processes are. And this is the confusion state. And certainly we would argue very strongly that, at the deep level, confusion is a very healthy level. At the surface level, teacher, please get in there and help the students. Give them the right knowledge. It's like looking up... You can look up ... but you need the skill of evaluation to find out what's right or wrong. If you keep just adding information from , you're going to fall over. But at the deep level, it's that relationship, it's that judgment about what's right and what's wrong. It's that interpretation that you're going to make about where you want to go next that's really critical. And confusion is a very healthy state. More often than not, when I'm confused, I actually learn more interesting things. I look at the world differently and I accept that confusion is a very healthy state to do that. But sometimes, at the surface level, please just fix me.

10 Home Remedies for Herpes | how to cure herpes naturally forever
[Music] herpes home remedies includes applying ice packs on effective area using apple cider vinegar using hydrogen peroxide applying garlic consuming and applying lemon balm using licorice root consuming peppermint tea using tea tree oil consuming coconut oil using aloe vera and changing your diet what is herpes and types of herpes herpes simplex 1 and 2 viruses are usually the cause of herpes outbreak the simplex one virus causes oral herpes whereas simplex 2 virus leads to the symptoms associated with herpes in your reproductive organs herpes is a highly contagious disease physical or sexual contact can also transmit the disease from one person to the other which is why herpes patients are kept in isolation oral herpes is often transferred through the infected saliva of the individual which might be transmitted through eating or drinking from the same utensils sharing personal items or through physical contact such as a kiss an infection anywhere on the face including your mouth lips or any other facial part might cause it to transmit to another person herpes and reproductive organs is caused by unprotected sex organs and is manifested through elzar's or genital sores in the initial stages of the infection the symptoms might also be accompanied by fever when the initial outbreak sub-sites the virus rests in the nervous system and might attack again bringing the onset of other illnesses compromise your immune system or cause erratic hormonal changes not many people are aware but herpes can be treated with several home remedies as well if these remedies fail to treat the symptoms adequately the severity of the condition can at least be lessened to a greater extent 10 home remedies for herpes one ice packs take an ice cube and carefully wrap it in a piece of cloth or towel now rub the effective area with this ice pack and watch the discomfort pain and uneasiness go away keep the ice on the affected area for at least 10 minutes and you will start to notice the results after a few days - apple cider vinegar apple cider vinegar is renowned for its disinfectant and inflammatory and astringent properties you can use a cotton ball just dip in a small bowl of apple cider and apply it on the effective area you might experience a tingling sensation because of the acidic nature of vinegar consuming apple cider vinegar mixed with water during flare-ups might also prove to be helpful three hydrogen peroxide hydrogen peroxide is a disinfectant and one of the most favourite home remedies for herpes it can either be used by crushing a lysine tablet or applied through a cotton ball on the affected area mixing it in water and using it as mouthwash is an ideal remedy for oral sorts repeat the process several times a day and continue doing it for several weeks or until cured for garlic a chemical present and garlic called allicin is research back to have antiviral effects furthermore garlic has anti-inflammatory and antimicrobial properties which are quite beneficial in reducing the impact of inflammation caused herpes rub garlic clove or some garlic oil over affected areas for about 10 to 15 minutes and repeat the procedure for several days garlic oil can't be made by cooking garlic cloves in olive oil until the cloves are brown then take the cloves out and use the oil left 5 lemon balm lemon balm is enriched with a compound called eugenol which is famous for its pain relieving antibacterial and antiviral properties you can also make some lemon balm tea twice or thrice a day or you can even apply the lemon balm teabagger oil on the affected area for 10 to 15 minutes for over a week do this and watch the symptoms subside avoid consuming lemon balm tea though if you have high blood pressure 6 licorice root licorice root is renowned for strengthening the immune system and fighting off herpes a specific component recently discovered in licorice root called glycerin is said to have anti-inflammatory and antiviral benefits make a paste by mixing one tablespoon of licorice root powder and half a tablespoon of water and apply it onto affected areas repeat the procedure for at least three or four times a day and keep repeating it until the blisters are completely gone seven peppermint tea peppermint tea soothes inflammation and eases the pain caused by herpes peppermint oil also contains a specific versatile compound that helps fight herpes virus you can consume peppermint tea twice or thrice a day and simultaneously dip a cotton ball in peppermint oil and apply it on the affected areas this can't provide you double protection both inside out from inflammation and discomfort caused by herpes a tea tree oil with its pain relieving antibacterial and antiviral can prove to be a highly effective remedy for inflammation caused by herpes the terpenes phenylpropanolamine act as antiviral agents against the infection you can add equal amounts of peppermint oil geranium and myrrh essential oils and apply the mixture through a cotton ball on cat herpes affected parts nine coconut oil coconut oil contains copious amounts of capric acid and lauric acid which has shown to be highly effective in killing that herpes virus tried to consume three tablespoons of virgin coconut oil twice or thrice a day and watch the symptoms of herpes faith 10 aloe vera aloe vera is also a great source of treatment for herpes caused by simplex -

013 ICAC Cotton Data Book
I now call on Dr keshav kranti Chief scientist of the ikech for his presentation on sustainability Snippets from the ike cotton Data Book thank you distinguished delegates ladies and gentlemen the ICC cotton data book was published in June this year the data book is a comprehensive compilation of data on Cotton production processing and trade in this short presentation I'll briefly describe a few Snippets related to sustainability from the cotton Data Book the icic cotton data book has 564 pages of numbers and graphs it covers production practices and trade of 38 countries with data on individual states of each of these countries the book has details on economics of cotton cultivation and production it describes components of production practices on seed processing planting nutrient management weed management Water Management insect Pest Management disease management harvesting methods engineering Etc the data book also describes cropping systems fertilizer usage pesticide usage water footprints and much more in this presentation I'll be focusing on Africa plus 11 major countries which together account for 95 percent of the global cotton production as you will soon see there's an enormous diversity in production practices across the world this presentation deals with three pillars of sustainability social economic and environmental in the next three slides I'll present some aspects on social sustainability the bars that you see here represent the number of cotton Growers more than 22 million Farmers cultivated cotton in 2020 and interestingly India China Africa and Pakistan host 95 percent of the global cotton farmers cotton farming provides sole income and supports livelihood especially for the 22 million smallholders in Asia and Africa India China Africa and Pakistan also provide Farm employment of 2.4 billion mandates every year thus cotton farming not only means livelihood but also enormous employment generation for millions of persons across the world not surprisingly countries in Asia and Africa spend a major share of their cost of cultivation on labor deployment which adds greatly to rural livelihood in the next five slides we will explore five aspects of environmental sustainability such as irrigation water fertilizers pesticides land use efficiency and soil health first let us take a look at irrigation water irrigation water is a critical input in agriculture caught it in Africa and Brazil is rain fed 85 percent of cotton area in Argentina is rainfed and 65 percent of the area in India and United States also is rainfed therefore it is not surprising that these nations have the best water footprint at this juncture it's important to mention that a greater water footprint in some countries such as Pakistan and Uzbekistan is mainly because of the low seasonal rainfall in the cotton growing regions where cotton cannot be grown economically without irrigation we'll now take a look at the fertilizer use efficiency which means the quantity of lint produced per kilogram of fertilizer used as you can see here Argentina and Africa produced more than 39 kilograms of lint per kilogram of fertilizer used and thus have highest fertilizer use efficiency data also indicates that there's an imminent need for Asian countries such as India Pakistan and Uzbekistan to focus on Precision farming to increase fertilizer use efficiency now we will take a look at expenditure on pesticides glitch on pesticides is less in Africa Argentina India and Uzbekistan compared to countries such as Brazil Greece and China now this could be because of less use of pesticides such as growth regulators defoliants and herbicides in these Advanced countries now we'll take a look at land use efficiency land use efficiency is less in countries which Harvest low yields interestingly there appears to be a direct correlation of yields with with plant population density the average plant population density is 111 000 plants per hectare in all high yielding countries that Harvest more than global average of 780 kilograms of lint per hectare conversely the planned population density is lowest in Africa and India which harvests lowest yields in the world and therefore have low land use efficiency environmental sustainability hinges a lot on soil health Recent research has shown that conservation tillage practices have the potential to rejuvenate soil health data shows that Argentina Australia Brazil China and the United States are leading the way on zero tillage and finally in the next three slides we will examine a few snippets on economic sustainability that deal with the cost of cultivation net returns and cost of producing one kilogram of seed cotton the cost of cultivation is highest in Australia and China and lowest in Africa and Argentina in fact the cost of cultivation in Argentina and Africa is about one-third of the global average cost of cultivation Brazil turkey and Australia get the best net returns Africa Greece and India have low net returns this is something that these countries must start looking at the cost of produce using one kilogram of seed cotton is lowest in Argentina thus Argentina is the most efficient in cost of producing seed cotton a cost of production is highest in Australia and China to summarize we dealt with the three main pillars of sustainability on social sustainability Africa China India and Pakistan provide livelihood to 22 million farmers and these countries also provide employment of 2.5 billion mandates economic sustainability Argentina is most efficient in cost of production Africa and Argentina have the lowest cost of cultivation Australia Brazil and turkey have the highest net returns on environmental sustainability on those five different aspects Africa and Argentina excel in fertilizer use efficiency Africa Argentina and Brazil Excel in their water footprint Africa Argentina India Pakistan and Uzbekistan spend least on pesticides Argentina Australia Brazil China and USA are leading the way on zero tillage and on conservation tillage practices Argentina Australia Brazil China Greece Mexico turkey United States and Uzbekistan have the highest land use efficiency that finishes my presentation thank you ladies and gentlemen [Applause]

Privacy, Property, Liberty and the #Monero Policy Workgroup - Andrea Togni EPI 233
the state is the monopolist on trust is the institution that wants to monopolize trust and the way it uses to monopolize trust is the education system for example it is the way the people accept the use of paper as a currency of paper that has no value just because they trust state they trust that the state can do good and work work on their behalf this is just a sad reality so education is important but unfortunately i think that at least institutional education has been has been captured by by the state do you love coffee and manera as much as we do consider making gratuitous.org your

how are you good man good good good like i said this is this is when my day really starts you know it's the ninth five is just uh me working up to the the real part of my day which is when i get into the monero things great we are monitor people so do you have like a regular day a day job unrelated to monero as well is that your your situation as well yeah exactly yeah i'm a teacher i teach history and philosophy so i have a regular job here in italy but monero and also bitcoin and privacy are my passions so this is what kind of yeah this research in the privacy space is uh the best stuff i can do awesome what uh grades do you teach uh high school high schools uh so it's like uh 14 to 18 years cool man and you teach history and philosophy so that obviously that's what you're what you studied as well you have a i think you have a phd in philosophy right yeah exactly i earned a phd in 2018 working on the philosophy of of perception since then i started teaching at an italian high school but i also went down into the privacy rabbit hole into monero into a bitcoin and so i started researching in those topics and so uh here i am what led you down the privacy rabbit was it that you went down the cryptocurrency rabbit hole and found your way to monaro or where you went down the privacy rabbit hole and found your way to manera well actually both because it's true that i worked on the philosophy of perception first but i was always interested in political philosophy especially especially in american libertarian philosophers like rothbard but walter like for for example conkey iii and stuff like that so uh of course i found uh my home in the crypto space in the original bitcoin uh mood and cypherpunk ethos and of course in the moneroitos and also i arrived at monero through the gold and silver because in 2017 i started being interested in the economics of liberty and of property so i became a gold and silver bug and then also i discovered monero and then bitcoin so uh here i am i'm i'm still a golden silver bug but uh of course monero is my favorite coin uh uh yeah why why is monero your favorite coin well yeah arrive at monero why monero why not why not bitcoin why not uh z cash yeah i think because of the same reasons uh you like monero too so because of privacy because i think that probably you cannot have good money without uh some strong privacy uh by default i don't think that privacy is just a cool feature to have for uh for the cryptocurrency uh it's not a feature among others i don't think uh either that it is a privacy from a political perspective is just a right among others like for example the right to free speech and stuff like that i think that privacy is way more important in this for example in the currency space in the money space i think that and especially in the digital money space privacy is a necessary condition for the existence of money i think that money cannot exist without strong privacy then of course we can discuss about what kind of privacy should money have and stuff like that but i think that a strong level of privacy is needed in order to be money and so this is why i'm naturally attracted to monero because of that philosophically why why is that the case that you you need privacy for money to work what's what's the reasoning there what's the logic behind that yeah because uh mainly as i try to explain it at my monero con presentation um because privacy is a condition for the enjoyment of property rights of course if you are a libertarian if you accept the libertarian background the libertarian basic concept that there is only one natural right obviously that is the right to property then you have to find uh which conditions are to be defended in order to enjoy property rights of course if you have proper if property is a natural right that doesn't mean that it cannot be attacked by enemies so you have to find ways to defend property from any enemies and i think that in the digital space privacy is the main tool not only for the defense of property right but also for the very existence of property right just making an example to make it to make it clear both in bitcoin and in monero we have we have private keys right and if those private keys are not private anymore that means that you don't own your coins anymore basically privacy is necessary at some point at some level i'm open to discuss what kind of privacy we need in order to uh to be good money but privacy is needed in order for uh in order for property to exist in the digital area so it's not just a cool feature just a feature that can be added on a layer 2 maybe i think that privacy should be really be the basic of a good currency of good money yeah i often say you know without privacy we no longer have our individuality and it's you know uh you know if you really if you really think about it in the most extreme case right uh without privacy we no longer have our our own personal thoughts our own inner thoughts our ability to communicate just between uh you know individuals of choice and if all of that erodes we are are we able to be individuals anymore and i guess that's one of the things uh one of the reasons why privacy is a fundamental right right it's it's uh literally what gives us our humanity and individuality absolutely absolutely is it is a precondition for property which is a the nature of human being or of human beings human beings cannot exist without property without the property of their own body of their own minds and of course of the goods that they earn during their lives so uh privacy is very important within that regard from an individualistic point of view but also from a social point of view privacy is trust privacy is needed in order to communicate to interact with other socially in a free manner without being cursed again just a little example when we think ab when we think about bitcoin we think about peer-to-peer money but what does peer-to-peer means peer-to-peer means that there are two peers that interact with each other there is pra and peer b but if there is a third party uh even an observer that doesn't uh that doesn't use violence against the two original peers even if it is just an observer of course the interaction between the two the two original peers is not free anymore because of course if there is someone that is looking at us we can feel some sort of chilling effect we may not feel comfortable in interacting interacting with with each other so i think that privacy is really needed in order for free interaction and uh for uh the um and for building a good society a free society and also if we apply that to money money is very important to exchange value uh inside society uh i would say that uh there wouldn't be society maybe without money money is a again a necessary condition at least for the existence of of a human society and if money is not built well then we end up with the wrong kind of society which is which is a tyrannical society a society that despises freedom so i think that if we can bring together privacy on the one hand the money on the other it will be great of course for uh for uh for all of us and monero is here with that i hope so what what did the the austrians say about privacy then just basically what you're saying is that it was it's fundamental to supporting uh property as a fundamental right without pr is that is that the analysis that's often given in that philosophical realm what's is there any other reasoning that that that they provide yeah actually uh i find it kind of surprising that uh both libertarians and uh um and australian and austin economists don't give so much space to privacy for example a class a classical libertarians like like for example rothbard is pretty clear in his text that there is not uh there is not such a thing as a right to privacy i realize as i was saying i slipped up and said the right to privacy but you you you're saying there is none well i don't know i don't know we could get into whether or not i agree with that but yeah try to convince me as to why uh it's just the right to um you know property and yeah yeah exactly i mean if you're libertarian you think that only property is a natural right okay so for example all other and that means that all other rights are derived from the right to property for example free speech is not a fundamental right at the same level as property rights in the sense that free speech is just the consequence of the fact that we own our body and our mind and therefore we are allowed to uh talk freely and to express our thoughts but it will be an error to put the freedom of speech the right to a free speech and the right to property at the same level the right to free speech is derived from the right of property the same goes for privacy for example rothbard makes this example let's say that you want to discredit my person to to talk mean about me and to other people it would be wrong for me to um forbid you to talk about my person because of course you own your mind you own your body and therefore you are free to express whatever talks you want about my person if i want to forbid you to talk about me just because i have a right to privacy or whatever that is i would in fact attack your property rights which of course will be wrong from a libertarian perspective so again privacy cannot be considered a right at the same level of property of course rod bart rodman's kinda stops here and uh and doesn't give a proper space to a privacy i think that he's correct and say that privacy is not a property right but that doesn't mean that privacy has has not a role in libertarian thoughts quite the contrary as i stated before i think that privacy is an is an is a condition for the defense of property rights and then we can discuss what kind of property rights there exists we can of course you can distinguish between the property of our of our body uh it is one thing which is different from the property of external objects like for example this laptop or the laptop that i'm using right now or your mic and stuff like that which is different from proper from property in the digital real and so on and so forth so um we can say that privacy is important to defend these different kind of properties we can discuss how it is important how it can be used to defend these different kind of kinds of property but i think that especially in the digital realm that is also in the cryptocurrency sphere i think that privacy again is not only a condition for the defense of property right it is also a condition of existence of property rights you cannot have any property any digital property without privacy in the digital realm you can you cannot have digital cash without privacy so uh i can both say that privacy is not a natural right at the same level of property rights but that doesn't mean that privacy is not important quite the contrary privacy is a very important condition for both the defense of property rights and also in some cases for the existence of property rights and so i think that for example the view of a lot of bitcoiners according to who to whom privacy is just a nice feature that can be added at a later stage is a very dangerous view because i mean without privacy you cannot really enjoy your property and also your money for example you can hold your private keys in bitcoin but if the fact that your you own bitcoin is public and is known to men with gas is published available then with guys men with gas will come at you and it will be very easy for them to strip away your property so i think that the more they privacy the better so i you know the about the argument that's that's made in in bitcoin in that it's a trade-off and that they're not willing to sacrifice uh you know auditability for you know the nice-to-have feature of privacy what's your what's your reaction to that yeah i mean everything is a trade-off of course you can choose to uh to go public and to expose the world or your financial possessions you can do that you can choose to try to be as much private as possible of course everything in the world is a trade-off but i think that at one point um privacy goes beyond the trade-off level if i say so um i like to i i really like roth partake for example uh on uh on slavery and i i try to explain why this is important also for privacy for example rothbard says that on slavery we we must be abolitionists com we cannot discuss about the fact that slavery may be good in some in some circumstance or maybe bad in some other single circumstance why well because the property of the body and the end of the mind is a natural right of the people so we cannot discuss about the importance of uh body ownership and we cannot say that well maybe slavery is a good thing is somehow a good thing i think that the same unapologetic approach should be held also with regard to privacy privacy is something that is embedded in human nature i wouldn't call it a natural right but natural for us and if you want to attack privacy you are you you want to attack human human nature in its own essence and therefore yeah maybe it is a trade-off maybe monero buys this trade-off and it is not as much auditable as uh as monero is not ma as much as auditable as bitcoin even though of course we can discuss about it we can bring up a lot of arguments and stuff like that uh but still i think that it's a trade-off uh worth doing uh and also i think that we should really stop thinking about privacy as something that can be dispensed with even hypothetically this is not the case this is not the case and i think that also the tornado cache situation shows it shows it pretty well and all the discussion that we have for about the concept of plausible deniability on the fact that we should be able to deny that we are using a privacy tool i mean this kind of discussions are are really bad for from a certain point of view and if you wanna i can expand on it later how about you know uh what what the potential negative implications are for you know perfect privacy especially for a tool for transacting um you know how do we uh justify those you know allowing a techno allowing for a technology that could be used for evil things you know so how is that justification made right uh you know national security right the funding of terrorism uh you know it could be used for all types of bad things how do you uh in a philosophical sense explain why we should essentially be okay with the fact that a tool can be used for for those purposes yeah in this case uh ofu punk uh if you read the cypherpunk manifesto by timothy may he clearly states that well a cyberpunk civil bank revolution is coming and that privacy is a crucial tool for for cypherpunks and for the technology that they were building of course privacy has this implication for example may mention the possibility that a market for uh for killing people would arise exactly because uh people that want to buy other people to kill again other people would have can have a way to pay them privately and i think that i mean this is just human nature everyone then thing everyone that thinks that human nature he's perfect is somehow good and always good i mean it's just he's just dreaming human nature is also made of this kind of bad behaviors and we need to accept it and when i hear philosophers that propose as a perfect society in a utopian society when there is a very good regulators that that cancel all the evil from the world i mean it's just very fishy because they are just promising something that cannot exist also with regard to these arguments about national securities of course we have crime in the world which is bad we must do whatever we can in order to stop to stop crime you are talking with our libertarian so i think that property is a natural right and of course i think that any aggression against property must be condemned and must be stopped as far as we can of course so i'm not defending crime but usually the people that bring up this kind of argument about national security and stuff like that i mean they're just the worst criminal in the world uh if you take for example i don't know the us government or the italian government they just do wars all around the world we are written we are witnessing them then nowadays i can mention libya syria iraq afghanistan and of course the war in ukraine i mean those people the people in power of often are the worst criminal that exists actually as an arc capitalist would say even the the tool of taxation for example is a crime in itself the government exists just because of a crime it is just robbing the people of their own property without their consent so i mean again human nature is not perfect better behavior must be condemned but we should be recur be very very careful uh regarding the people that we want to fight crime because usually the people that want a monopoly on uh legit uh on legitimate violence are the worst people of them all uh i'm convinced i i certainly agree with everything you're saying but how do we express these philosophies to the masses in a way where they start to agree as well because ultimately that's what we're up against right it's the the campaign of of government and the status versus you know the campaign of essentially uh libertarian-minded people and trying to convince the masses that you know the power is in their hands if they want it they just have to realize the importance of of liberty and and kind of vote in ways that preserves their liberty but they're often fooled into giving away uh or you know or it's taken away out of for for conveniences uh what people not realize is you know what they're sacrificing how do we get these messages across to the masses is it necessary to get it across to the masses for for things like monero to prevail what what's your what's your take there yeah that's that's a very complicated issue and um it has to do with uh the strategy for liberty that we want to that we want to deploy of course traditional libertarians are very always stress the importance of the of education what you are doing right now with your podcast and uh what you're doing with monerotopia with money or talk is very important because just spreads the message of liberty of property or of privacy of freedom so education is very important but unfortunately in this regard i'm really not that optimistic and the reason is that i'm a teacher so i work in the education field and together with institutions in the in this field and i can tell you that at least in italy um the state controls everything about education i'm i'm simplifying it we can discuss about the uh some legal aspects about the uh regarding this statement but basically all the education we we can say that most of the education is controlled by the state this is true at the elementary level at a high school level at the university level and so they did a re a very good job uh to control education and i would also say that usually the most common definition of what the state is is the state is the legitimate monopolist on violence i think that this definition is correct but there is a more important definition because i would say that the state is the monopolist on trust is the institution that wants to monopolize trust and the way it uses to monopolize trust is the education system and we are witnessing it nowadays you in america are a little bit more lucky that uh other europeans because we you have more freedom in uh in this field but i think that the education system i mean is the way the state is being able to convince people to give up their rights their privacy their liberty their property for example it is the way the people accept the use of paper as a currency of paper that has no value just because they trust state they trust that the state do good and work work on their behalf this is just a sad reality so education is important but unfortunately i think that at least institutional education has been has been captured by by the state okay of course education does not equal institutional education we can do a lot of education outside institutional uh institutional places like university and and schools and stuff like that and this is why i love the internet and this is why i listen to podcasts this is why i read a lot of stuff on twitter and stuff like that so we can still spread the word about privacy and liberty but be very careful about institutional education also but i think that in the end the most important thing about getting the message of privacy and liberty winning is about using these kind of tools using this kind of tools because if we use privacy tools for example monero or other privacy tools in other fields like i don't know messaging apps vpn store stuff like that i mean we are leading by example and yeah words are important i mean i'm a philosopher i use a lot of words maybe too much but what really matters are actions and if people act in a way that preserve the liberty and their property then then can lead by example and they can bring other people with them and in that case if enough people use those previous tool then men with gas cannot just impose their will with violence so i think that acting uh should be uh the main concern and this is the agaris lecture uh the the diego's lecture okay so this is what the black markets are are all about and also this uh this is why i don't see the banning of tornado cash and maybe the possible ban of monero as a bad thing i mean it is supposed to be to work in the black market so let's give it a try awesome yeah i i agree i agree um i don't know if you so we're trying to put together a protest in new york privacy yeah i heard of it so what do you think of that do you think that's uh a waste of of time and that you know we should just be head down cypherpunks building you know uh online dark marketplaces and just using it and and not worry and not try to fight the fight against you know the government um what's your take on that well uh not at all i think that both ways are pretty cool we can go full cipher punk and use previous tool and trip to protect our privacy and the privacy of people that we care about and i think that we can that we can um set up a protest like uh like you're doing i think that it's very important maybe uh it will convince some people of the value of privacy and even in the worst case scenario where where nobody will listen to to your speakers and to and to the proverbs and to the pro and to the protest maybe some state some statist will be pissed off so uh that will be a good result and uh in itself yeah i mean i i personally see it as a way to you know just get the message across to people that are hopefully going to witness it in some form and start to change their thinking you know start to become a thought in their mind uh it it only happens if people come across these ideas so it's just a way to to get the ideas out there yeah i mean normalize it you know start start to normalize i make those arguments as well you know like and like you said we got to use it right use it on the dark markets but we also have to um use it in the day to day and normalize it and show people that there should be absolutely nothing wrong with using monero accepting monero asking for payment in monero we shouldn't act like we're we're using an illegal tool we're using a righteous and a morally righteous tool and we should be out there using it proudly and if and if we're not allowed to that's that's the problem not that we're using it right absolutely i i completely agree i i would say that privacy is like insurance you don't need it until you need it and when you read it it's usually too late so um it's better for people to get used to the idea to to get private because otherwise it will be too late and unfortunately again the state has been able to convince people that the state is good and the people should trust the state and therefore the people usually think that men with guns will only act against other people and bad people and of course they are not among among this group but i mean i think that uh this is just uh i mean a utopic thinking as a something that uh at least it's not empirically true at uh at the very least and if i may add something and uh i think that uh uh what you were saying uh is uh is really really important i mean privacy is righteous in itself and so we shouldn't deny the fact that we are using a privacy tool like a lack monero or like or like tornado cash i i always hear this expression of of plausible deniability which is a very important concept from a legal point of view i understand the fact that legally speaking we must be able we should be able to deny the fact that we are using those privacy tools because tools because otherwise the government will will come after us and this is what happening right now with uh with with tornado cash and so i understand this kind of discussion for example you had a really a really cool discussion about this with giacomo and seth on you on your podcast it was it was a very important discussion but from an ethical and from a rhetorical point of view we should be completely unapologetic about our use of privacy tools like more error internal cash we should be ashamed we shouldn't deny anything about it we should be a very proud of our using of our use of after narrow cash because uh end of monero because basically i mean privacy is something that belongs to human nature in itself and so we are not doing we are not doing anything wrong it's again it's the same as the example of slavery libertarians in the early um early 19th century were very unapologetic about their opposition that their opposition against slavery and and and many gradualist thinkers thought that they were somehow misled they thought that well maybe we should debate how we should handle the issue of slavery and stuff like that but of course the only the the only right answer against uh regarding slavery it is to be against it and in favor of property rights and again the same olds with regard to privacy we should be completely in favor of privacy without uh being ashamed of that and also what really matters is the word plausible what is plausible what does that mean exactly because who decides what is plausible what is a plausible use of a privacy tool and what is not a plausible use of a province too of course it's the government but the government is showing that it is completely willing to change the definition of plausible [Music] in order to push their own interest for example in the case of tornado cash is it plausible that people are using tornado cash just for privacy reasons and not for laundry more and not for laundry money of course it is plausible of course it is but that that didn't stop the government from by internal cash so what exactly is plausible we should really understand that even from a legal perspective we are living in a in an era of uh offer of arbitrary legislation and here i think that there is important distinction that can be made and here i borrow from bruno leone who is an important italian-american philosopher and lawyer who distinguish who distinguishes between law on the one end and the legislation on the other end law is something like a natural law as as found in the private roman law for example law is something that is bottom-up law is a law is the rules that happen to be in place in a society that are discovered by jewish that are discovered by judges and that and that are not imposed by any authority law is something that is individual if you and me have a contra have a controversy we can choose freely to go to a third party to a judge in order to settle this controversy and it is something that we can do freely it is a again a bottom-up a bottom-up process uh leonie said as i said that a law is also fungible in there a little bit like monero uh is fungible in the sense that the jurists were not trying to impose their own reading about law but basically any judge will be interchangeable because there there is a common understanding of what the rules are so indeed in this sense the law and and jurists are are fungible so on the one hand there is law on there on the other end there is legislation a legislation is just a top down process legislation is just arbitrary rules given by arbitrary rules that is imposed that is imposed again also against the will of the people and i think that nowadays you are living in the era of legislation we should we should come to this um to uh to peace with the idea that uh law at least nowadays does not really exist and all we have is legislation and arbitrary rules and therefore we shouldn't really trust uh regulators to do the right thing because they have so much power that can afford to overstep if i say so low and to just impose their own rules and without without regard to natural rights to privacy to to basically anything so again when we use the expression plausible deniability well it it has a lot of problems and again i completely agree with you i think that we should really be proud of what we're doing here yeah let's let's get into the tornado cash more that's why i you know we reached out to you uh we know you you know you keep an eye on these things you work for the monero you do monero policy work right right for the what is the what's the group called it's called the monero policy work group right yeah exactly exactly well uh disclaimer i'm really a beginner in this space i just joined the monero policy awards group and the metrics chat recently after the monero con conference i'm not a lawyer and i'm not a legal expert i i'm not an ethereum expert so i approached the tornado cache the tornado cache issue both both because i'm curious about the regulation aspects and uh because i'm reading the metrics chat of the moneo policy work group which is very which is very very interesting and also and also because i'm a user of previous tools and basically my idea was to understand uh if and when i'm going to end up in jail basically so i'm trying to to understand if the fact that i'm using privacy will get me into trouble sooner or later this is deciding if you should attend the new york privacy protest or not you're trying to decide if it's a good thing exactly exactly exactly of course it is the good thing it is it is the good thing to do i mean so what is your take on the tournament we we did a whole show on it with peter van volckenberg saw that from coin center they've been amazing work you know reacting to it uh i've some amazing i don't know if you've been reading all the all the posts they've been putting out yeah absolutely yeah really good stuff and it's nice to see them you know saying the m word now right and we heard some great things from peter with regards to his take on monero so there seems like there's a lot of promise there and that coin center you know has monero's back um but yeah what what is your take on everything that you've been witnessing so far what's your take on tornado cash yeah i viewed your show with uh with peter i read their article they are really really great if our viewers want a legal understanding of the issue i definitely recommend to uh both watch your show and to read their their articles because uh that they are terrific they are really really well written they can bend they can be understood by also by common people uh the only thing is is that you have to take the time to read them and to watch the show that's it but i definitely advise to uh to read them and if if i can i'd like to share with you my perspective on the tornado case issue by reading the press release by the u.s treasury regarding the ban of uh of tornado cash why because i think that reading regulator's worth is definitely the most important thing that uh that we that we can do basically they are buying into another cash and therefore we must understand why they are burning and what exactly they are trying to ban and so as a user uh as a common user i i i read the document that press release and and of course other stuff i'm just sharing with you uh this but i i read the uh i read the test uh that um that statement that uh that press release and uh i have to say that there are a lot of issues in in that press release and um it opens more questions than uh than the answers that it it gives so if i can i want to share it with you and uh and to read some some passage some passages of course not all of it but and to give you some comments you have it you can read it yep it's on the stream now so it should be there okay cool okay so i'm just going to read some sentences and just to give you uh uh to give you some comments about them first of all the opening sentence the u.s treasury says today the u.s department department of the of the treasury uh office of foreign asset control of sanctioned virtual currency mix cert cash which has been used to launder more than seven billion dollars worth of virtual currencies since its creation in 2019. so here so here in the opening in the opening statement we have huge problems for example they call tornado cache a mixer but is it a mixer and i i didn't um i i didn't know tornado cache uh really well until the olfac sanctions but it took me just a few days of research in order to understand that tornado cache is not really a mixer in the common sense of the world why because users are always in full control of their own coins and a user a user like me never really touch uh touches other people's coins never and the same is true for other people other people never touches my coins when the when they use tornado cash the witness cache works is you deposit your coins ethereum tether usd seasons and stuff like that into the smart contract you get a zero knowledge proof of your deposit and you can withdraw the money from that smart contract uh uh to a different address which thanks to the zero knowledge proof is unrelated to the deposit address this is alternator cash for tonight works in really simple in really simple words so it's not a mixer it's not a mixer because uh it doesn't mix anything again any users is any user is always in full control of their own coin of their own coins also the figures that they give here 7 billion dollars worth of virtual currency is a kind of a kind of misleading because elliptic which is a h analysis firm said that actually um seven billion dollars is just the total sum of money that went through tornado cash during its history and that's a more like a more likely sum of 1.5 billion dollars was was laundered through this uh through this service so this may seems uh this is a lot of course 1.5 billion dollars of laundry money money is a lot but it also mean that but it also means that 8 80 of uh of the usage of trinado cash is legitimate and it is for privacy reason so again here we have a government agency that gives a misleading definition of what they're budding and then gives a misleading figure in order to provide an argument in favor of their of their actions let's talk about this more because i mean unfortunately you know they're they're the ones kind of calling the shots here right and uh you know they're saying so do we have do we know what a mixer is actually defined as i understand your technological argument and i i i've recently uh have come to understand tornado cache better but actually by coin centers articles on it they've explained it right very well and you just summarize it very well and but but is a mixer maybe in the eyes of regulators just this thing that you opt into to erase your transaction history now whether it's technically mixing or not uh is that's traditionally what is called a mixer this thing that erases your transaction history and is laundering literally just the action of trying to hide your transaction history i don't know is the legal i guess the legal definition has to be with the ill intent right i don't think it's it's not illegal to just uh you know erase transaction history but i guess it's illegal to do that and then for purposes of you know because you're you know for you're trying to hide it for you know whatever legal reasons right uh because you did something wrong i guess that's the definition but i but what is your what is your what would be your response there i mean could it essentially be that they just determine any any tool that you opt into to obfuscate history uh is a mixer which could be you know which would be bad news for you know for things like perhaps z cash that's opt in you know but perhaps arguably something like a monero uh you're not mixing right because you're never changing uh it's it's it's always the same state right what's your what's your take on that yeah i think that it all comes down to the definition of legislation that i gave before basically they can give whatever definition they want of what a mixer is so they definitely uh have uh the first mover advantage here but i also think but i also think that they are being ambiguous on purpose here because for example in the next centers that i underlined they put tornado cache together with blender.io which is of course a completely different tool from tornado cache from a technical point of view they say that they banned the tornado cache after the band the the banning of blender dot io but blender dot io is a of course is a custodial service is actually a mixing service in the traditional sense in the sense that you touch other people's coin and the other people touch uh touch your coins and they are dropping it uh dropping their this sentence and uh i can read it today today's action is being taken pursuant to the executive order as amended and follows ofx designation of virtual currency mixer blender dot io and here it is ambiguous because it looks like blender dot io is the same thing as tornado cash which of course it's not which of course it's not but again they are the legislators they make legislations and what they say and they can decide to change the definition of what a mixer is and with regard to the other part of your question i think that also also monero can be understood as a mixer in a very broad sense in a sense that was never used before but in a very broad sense and also an optimic mixer because well basically you choose to use monero nobody is forcing you to use monero so if you use monero you are using a tool that protects privacy and well if a mixer is bad because it protects privacy well monero protects privacy and also the usage of monero can be understood as bad by regulators from for the same reason reason so i think that there is a lot of ambigu there is a lot of ambiguity here and uh i also think that the fact that ofac didn't take time at least so far to clarify the issue here to uh to clarify what is their definition of what a mixer is is really telling is really telling did i answer your question no no yeah yeah i mean those are the those are the arguments against it it's just something to think about right and obviously uh you know this is this is what what we're trying to figure out so the government took this action and then we will we will see how it shakes out as people like coin center respond as perhaps we see you know we see these these things get tested in in court uh we see arguments getting made uh and we see how it's actually defined um but who knows you know where it's gonna go i i agree with you you know yeah essentially you know monero could then be seen as a mixer but that but the thing is monero uh is is akin to digital cash right and it's and so it's it's it's fungible by nature so that's like saying cash itself is then a mixer anytime somebody moves into cash they're moving into uh a tool for obfuscating their their their history you know so that that becomes as opposed to saying you're using this protocol that's transparent by nature and then uh at moments you're moving it into this thing to erase your history i know it gets a little a little hairy there it's it's kind of ridiculous to uh go down um but it's an interesting one so what what what are the other what's the other major thing you want to point out from the article yeah uh uh uh of course of course with regard to monero they are thinking about monero for example they say here criminals have increased their use their use of anaemia enhanced technology including mixers to help hide the movement or original funds so basically they said that they are saying that mixers are a subset of anonymity and asset technology and i mean this kind of sentence sounds like a warning also to monitor people i mean they are watching this kind of tools and uh well again monero can be used in order to uh to uh break up sedunimity to break uh to to to enforce a sorry uh pset anonymity and uh to break transparency and therefore it can be uh it can be um at risk from a regulatory perspective of course i'm not saying that it is the right thing to do to regulate monero of course i think that regulation should be avoided at all costs but i think that the government sooner or later will come at us unfortunately they are stating quite that they are stating it quite clearly for example uh for example in this uh in this sentence um and also as you pointed out there is also a war on cash raging nowadays right they are trying to abolish cash and they are trying to force everyone to towards the use of digital payment system and to our cbdc's and stuff like that so i mean we can say that they are pretty serious about this stuff and uh again it's legislation not low but still we have to deal with it so so let me ask you though so and you can continue on after um so do you think it could potentially go down in a way where the u.s government goes after only monero and not bitcoin or is it if you go after monero now you're you basically banned code you banned you know which is already now with tornado cash right but now it's an even more egregious you're banning a protocol that's arguably the same exact thing as bitcoin you're banning a decentralized you know protocol tool that that's used for communicating value uh why is why is how are you banning monero but then you're not also banning bitcoin do you or is it that they go after everything uh yeah uh well i think that the money monero is way more difficult than banning monero added them banning tornado cash because again monero is a decentralized cryptocurrency it is a they need to ban the whole network which is not the same as banning a tool that can be used on the network so it will be more graduates as as you said but again we are witnessing nowadays uh very gracious things and i i'm a bit pessimistic about it i'm not a lawyer again but my feeling is that sooner or later some sort of ban of monero will come at least in some jurisdictions this is just my of course this is just my two cents with regard to bitcoin uh i don't think that they will ban bitcoin uh because i think that it is in their interest not to ban it because bitcoin is a transparent cryptocurrency and uh actually 99 of people use bitcoin in the wrong way and therefore uh basically the government has a terrific tool for them to track people and to know everything about their finances and so if you are government why would you ban a tool that can help you in tracking your your citizens your citizens money i wouldn't ban it and i think that in this sense bitcoin may become a tool that can be used by the government for enforcing uh their uh their regulations of course this is not to say that they will not ban some tools that can be used on the money blockchain as for example i don't know whirlpool or mixers that can that exist in bitcoin but i don't think that it is in the interest of of regulators to ban bitcoin as well i don't think for example it is in the interest of regulators to buy an ethereum they didn't buy ethereum i think for the same reason because they can see everything that happens on the athenian blockchain they are burning tornado cache which makes ethereum less transparent how about something like zcash do you see a potential distinction there like you know is it more friendly to regulators uh you know the way it's currently set up with its opt-in privacy uh well i think that uh zika again uh people that use z cash in the correct way i'm not expert at all in z cash but as far as i understand the vast majority of the majority of the people uses zcash as they use bitcoin so the percentage of shielded address and shitty transaction is very low so if you're the government why should you ban a tool that can actually help you track people i wouldn't do that um doesn't this just become a redo of the privacy wars that you know happened in the 90s with pgp so they they you know how is this not become analogous to that and you know i agree don't get me wrong i i i i see i see it playing out this way too right the government isn't threatened by bitcoin it's a it's a surveillance coin right um uh maybe they're threatened by the tools that integrate with bitcoin um and i get that but we do have a constitution we do have you know we do have these things but will all that get thrown out of the out out the window for quote-unquote national security reasons uh yeah yeah yeah i know um well unfortunately here again just my two cents i'm just obviously you don't know yeah i i don't know i i can just guess that i mean in the us the constitution is something that is really important but for example uh this is not the case in most european countries where constitutional protections are way lower than uh than in the us and also i would say that even in the u.s as far as understand the constitution is not always respected so correct me if i'm wrong but in the constitution it is said it is written that the only allowed money the only constitutional money are gold and silver if i'm not wrong and still we have the federal reserve and still we have a fiat system which which some people would say is unconstitutional but i can be completely wrong so uh so please again correct me if i'm saying something uh something really stupid yeah but in general i just think that yeah i mean the constitution is important but it's becoming more and more legislation and uh they can just twist the meaning of the words in the constitution and try to use them at their own advantage unfortunately i i don't really trust so much of the law even though i think that consent her and all the people that fight the legal battle the legal battles should continue to fight them because those battles slowed them down and the cypherpunk wars were a great example of uh those successful battles and i hope that they will be successful too in the case of turret cache of course awesome you want to keep going through the document yeah yeah yeah absolutely absolutely um again another important sentence here tonight the cash has repeatedly failed to impose effective control designed to stop it from laundering funds from former issues cyber actors on a regular basis and without basic measures to address its risk again the this sentence is very weird because uh it is implying that tornado cache is an entity but actually it is not as peter said on your on your on your show today at least the tornado cache smart contracts pools uh pool smart contracts are just robots they are completely permissionless um people don't need to ask permission to anybody to a used tornado cache it is non-custodial again there is no one that take custody of users funds it is completely deterministic that tornado cache smart contracts just perform some operation in a deterministic way and therefore which cannot be changed and also those smart contracts are completely immutable they cannot be changed by anyone not even by tornado cash deaths not even by the tornado cached uh cashidae dao so the question is who exactly is supposed to impose those effective controls that the uh that author is talking about who exactly suppose that is supposed to impose those controls it's like it's like the u.s treasury is us asking something that is literally impossible and it is impossible for technical reasons that cannot be changed and so here again a very strange statement also a little uh a little parenthesis um again um among the addresses that were that were that were banned uh optional cash uh um we cannot find the uh dowsmark contract so uh some people on twitter and say and in different places said that tornado cash can be banned because there is a doubt that control the functioning of smart contracts well actually this is not true the dow cannot control the functioning the functioning of the most important smart contracts which are pull contracts which defines the rules of the quote-unquote mixing and also the smart contract that sets the roots for the dao is not banned is not sanctioned so here again there is a lot of confusion that no it is it's among the sanctioned addresses no uh i read that that it is not again this is this information is taken from an article from coin center so uh i think that the dow is not sanctioned and uh also for example now are the smart contracts that hold the pool the they're they're all my understanding is they're they're all listed as as being sanctioned my understanding is that there are 43 address addresses that are sanctioned 21 of them are the pools which are the uh the pools weren't okay you're saying that now the dao isn't one of the yeah but but the dao is not one of them that then there are other smart contracts that are that are banned uh for example two donation addresses some non-updated smart contracts some smart contracts that are not actually used some ancillary smart contracts but not the the dao smart contract also for example the token which is often talked about because i mean uh for example developers earned money uh because of tornado cash because there is this token which is called the turner well the smart contracts that cover that governs the functioning of the token is not among the ones the ones that are sanctioned so again there is a lot of confusion here because they are talking about tornado cache as as if it is a single entity but actually it is a very complex tool and uh they don't explain what exactly they banned so uh this is another point uh can i go on uh uh just very uh just very quickly yeah too much time and again another and another important sentence here why the purpose while the purported purpose is to increase privacy mixes like tornado are commonly used by illicit acts or actors to launder to launder funds again here the question that should that we should ask is what is the role of privacy according to hof to offac because they seems to consider trinado cash as a tool for laundry for laundry money and the feet and they say well yes you can also use tornado cash for privacy but basically we don't care about it because we are banning tornado cash fully completely and we are also burning the legitimate views of tornado cache because any american citizen that interact with the pools of ternary cache are interacting uh is interacting with a sanctioned entity so here they are just saying well yeah yeah we know that certain location we can uh can be used for privacy but still we don't care because for us the term education is just used by criminals and therefore we ban everything which is kind of uh telling about their understanding of uh privacy and their consideration of privacy and again other sentences that again are pretty clear in the fact that uh of seems to think that uh tornado cash is an entity that can materially assist or sponsor or support uh the users uh in order to launder funds when of course tornado cache is not an entity so this is important because i mean this kind of language is found everywhere in this document and again it brings more confusion than clarity and yeah this is the sentence that i wanted to talk about about monero but we already dealt with it and uh also also this uh this part i just have two last points to to say so uh just to uh the this uh this sentence the industry should take a risk-based approach to assess the risk associated with different virtual currency services implement measures to mitigate risk and address the challenges and analyzing anonymizing features can present to compliance with mal cft obligations as today's actions demonstrates mixers should in general be considered as high risk by virtual currency firms we should only process transactions if they have appropriate controls in place to prevent mixers from being used to use the to launder to launder illicit proceeds this is kind of interesting because here offac is making a reference a reference to the theft to the financial action task force uh guidance uh regarding uh virtual assets and virtual asset service providers we're basically a theft which is uh the gold standard of regulations about uh mal and uh and and of course the regulation of cryptocurrency um the uh outlines this kind of risk-based approach and i want just to underline the meaning of this of this term be a risk-based approach what they're saying is basically that anyone that use that uses a privacy service is a risk for example coinbase you consider should consider any customer that that interact with privacy tool not as a customer but as a risk and this is getting even even more even more outrageous with the tornado cache sanctions because it is not only that people using privacy personality tools are risk and actually high risk according to the fafsa and to uh to to offac but they are also kind of guilty by default again of bans any us citizen from interacting with tornado cash smart contracts any us citizens even lower body citizens and people that that did anything wrong that they did not do did not do anything wrong so here we are we are we are witnessing a situation in which um first of all people should be innocent by default but then people became risk by default if they use a privacy tool and then they almost beca they almost became guilty by default if they use uh if they use a privacy tool with that which i think is uh a pretty big step in the wrong in the wrong direction we should be very very careful about this because it is really a slip a slippery slope and okay and the last point that i want to make and then i stop bothering you this one this one lasts a creepy sentence the ultimate goal of sanctions is not to punish but to bring about a positive changing behavior i mean this sounds a little bit orwellian they're saying that they want to educate us they want to build their homo novus the a new kind of man they want to shape our minds i mean come on uh is the government supposed to uh bring about a positive changing behavior of the people and to change the behavior of the people and what is a positive behavior i mean uh this is i think pretty orwellian on the one hand and again i think that what sums up the approach of the government yeah they're talking about in terms of you know being removed from the sanction list which which is yeah yeah sure that's the whole thing with sanctions i mean it's strict liability like you said so uh anybody who interacts and and breaks the sanction is breaking the law whether or not they were yeah were up to no good uh doesn't matter what their motives were um but so do you just i do you agree with that whole concept just the concept of a sanction whether or not it's applied to monero or tornado cash just uh what's what's your opinion of sanctions in general the fact that uh basically the balance becomes national security versus you know uh government they're able to do whatever the hell they want because of national security i mean um do you think there is room for that and justification for for such policies like that or just the whole idea of a sanction the whole i you know is is it uh unethical and perhaps unconstitutional yeah i definitely think of course it is uh unethical in the sense that i mean money is just free speech and anyone should be allowed to transact with each other in a free manner in a completely free manner and of course that doesn't mean that we shouldn't punish as of said criminals and moneylanders but i think that it is one thing to have some evidence against one individual that did something wrong and to try to punish him and it is a completely different matter to label even label uh a privacy tool is risky because someone may in some circumstances use that privacy tool those are two very different matters i mean of course the law should go should go after actual criminals and should go after criminals only if they have evidence of guilt that's it but to sanction a tool that can be used basically by anyone because it's permissionless and uh fortunately is it's still used nowadays to know the cash is still used nowadays uh despite the existence of the existence of the sanctions well i mean it's it's just not lawful in my perspective in my perspective it's just about a natural law it's it goes against natural law and the right to property and i think also common sense awesome man um i don't know i i think we covered a lot there you went through the whole document anything else you want to bring up with regards to the topic yeah yeah um just to conclude i want to bring a little bit of optimism to uh to this conversation because i said a lot of pessimist pessimistic stuff and as this is going i mean pessimists sound smart sounds smart but optimists get money so it's important to finish with an optimist mode and i think that despite the attempt from the government to ban private privacy too privacy tools will be used tornado cache is still being used nowadays if you go on twitter for example and you look for tornado bot you see that there are a lot of money that are being moved in tornado cache smart contracts even nowadays even millions of dollars per day uh i think that um they are trying to make uh to make tornado cash an example like in the case of for example of course of rossu brics they uh the the punishment of ross ultra is of course beyond belief for a victor for for a victimless crime but they did it anyway in order to scare people but still even the fact that they uh did that to uh to rashubert didn't stop the existence of uh dark net markets of of freedom on the internet and again people can still use tornado cash what is banned actually is is the front end of tornado cash but smart people not me but technical people can can still use i can still use tornado cash and black markets will always exist just because freedom is part of human nature and if people want something well you can buy you can ban it as much as you want but i mean freedom in the end will always win so let's fight for freedom awesome man couldn't agree more thank you so much man where can people follow you learn more about uh what you're working on yeah unfortunately i don't have any social account actually i i have some social account but just for reading so i don't post anything but soon i hope there will be two academic papers from from me that will be published on some on a couple of academic journals and that they also mention monero and so if people are interested can they maybe can read those articles but unfortunately i don't have any social any active social account unfortunately what are what are these papers are they things that we touched upon yeah yeah yeah yeah okay yeah in parties in parties not the tornado cache situation one paper is on the war on privacy and is in the latest stage of the peer review peer review process and the other the other paper is the is about the definition of privacy as invisibility by default which i discussed also at monero con and uh it is in the copy editing stage so it will should it should be out soon so um very cool man what what what is what is the you know the thesis of of each of each paper if you want to give the quick uh yeah in the case of the paper on privacy invisibility by default i urge i urge your viewers to look at the video from regarding the monero com presentation uh which is not out yet but uh uh you can look at it yeah i mean i missed your presentation that day uh yeah so i saw you got your slides but yeah yeah definitely and i discuss and basically i just discussed the definition of privacy as invisibility by default and i try to uh put it in the context of classical definitions of privacy and i'm trying to give my understanding of that notion from a philosophical perspective the other paper is the war on privacy so i try to [Music] i i discussed the the word on privacy from a political and social aspect for example uh i don't know the digital uh the the digital ide stuff and uh and things like that and uh basically i discuss again why privacy is important for libertarians to fight for and the context here is the rothbardy and the theory of strategy for liberty and i just state that privacy should be the main focus of libertarians in order to fight for liberty and because so far it is uh it was it has been a little bit underrated and privacy should get the proper place in the theory of strategy

Weekly mail Freebies, Ulta, just fab, Reviews
hi guys i'm here with weekly mail actually got a couple things again this week you know I'm able to do one or two per week and that's about it I think that's where I'll just leave it the two things I got our boat from amazon review trader and they are lightning cables for my phone and I do have a new iPad that i got from school because they are they do everything on the iPad so it's just an ipad air I don't have a case or anything yet so I do need to get that but I wanted to get some extra chargers you know so I can you know charged up in the card you know have it at the school they have plugs area where and they encourage everybody to go ahead and use you know charge up your devices if you need to charge them up so I did get one of these this is a six and a half foot cable which is nice so if I'm not right next to the outlet you know I'll have plenty of give and I like that it a material wrapped cord so that's really nice and then I did get another one I applied for a few because I wasn't sure if I was going to be able to get approved for them because not always you get approved so this one here has a multipack this one is a pack of 4 it has 33 foot cables and 16 foot cable so let's see and they're just flat cables so they have the three regular ones here and then one long one so actually this would be great for this is not the right one this is not for iphone this is a micro USB cable oh well my boys are always looking for them and they wanted a long one so I guess well good thing I got the other one alright so that is for my boys oh well they don't have iphone so alright the next thing that I got here this is from swagga bowl and this is a whole food nutrition may easy green superfood I don't know if it's three different kinds in here let's see oh yeah it's all three that's pictured right here and they are there's a three dollar coupon off on the inside and here are the versions that they sent over which I don't know goji and a SI e berry lemon-lime energy and I don't know how do you mix these in I don't know if you just put them in water you mix them in with something else but we'll see you I'll definitely try it out I need all the energy and whatever I can get these other two items are things that I've purchased ulta had a twenty percent off discount code so i went ahead and used that and you can use it on anything so if you wanted to use on urban decay or whatever you wanted and i could use it on that and being a platinum member i don't have to pay for shipping ever anyway so that's really nice so whenever they have like those days of beauty or whatever it's called 31 days of beauty 20 whatever those are you can purchase every single day like if you want to get one of those ten dollar items and you don't have to pay for shipping so that is really really nice because a lot of times when you go to the store for those items they're not available they only give the store like five I went one year and the girl I went the first day and she's like oh no they only give us five and we sold those as soon as a store open I'm like um okay that doesn't make any sense but anyway so I did end up ordering online and so what I got was this professional this is the new one it's called the map rescue and I was actually going to purchase the cover effects um mattifying primer because it's amazing and it keeps my face Matt all day long I don't get all greased up anywhere i might get a little tiny bit on the forehead in the t-zone but not like i normally do it's amazing so I I saw a couple of videos on it it looks like this and they are saying that it is amazing now doesn't fill up the pores like the other professional bez but it definitely keeps you very mad and makes your skin look really good so it just has an unscrewing cap here I thought it was a flip-top but it's not and I'll put a little bit on the back of my hand so you can see it so it has like a little light green tint to it and it's like a very light gel it's not thick at all it's very very light it almost feels like it's almost watery it has a very light fragrance to it and it's just very smooth now as far as pores I think that you still need to use something else to fill in your pores I haven't used it yet but from the consistency it doesn't feel thick enough to cover no to fill in your pores if you have large pores so just to keep that in mind I'm not sure if you should use I would imagine that you would use this one first and then something as a pore filler after just because of the consistency but yeah it's it's all dry now and it feels nice so I'm excited to try this out i'm using the cover effects um mattifying one right now I'm almost out of it so I i have like what's it called I have the app shopkick if you're interested it'll have i'll have a link down below and there's a code that you can get in that link or something like that and you put in a code and you'll get something i don't know exactly what because i haven't talked about it in such a long time but anyway so i have i think i have a couple hundred dollars worth of gift cards in shopkick to use so i was planning on cashing out some sephora gift cards to get something from sephora which was going to be the mattifying primary from cover effects so I still may do that because I really love that primer is awesome I think I want to do it regardless and then I would really love to try out that Marc Jacobs foundation everybody is raving about it even people that have similar skin types in my opinion are really raving about it so I really want to try it but I don't want to pay out of pocket for it and since I do have all those gift cards available through the shopkick app um I think I'll go ahead and do it that way so um yeah that Marc Jacobs foundation is I think it's a remarkable foundation is what it's called it's like 50 something dollars so that's a lot of money I really want to try it maybe I'll just actually go into the store sephora and get a sample of it I don't know I hate going to the store we'll see alright so the next thing that was a long time I talked about that wasn't it so it says here on this side right here this is ninety-two percent said it mattifies shines instantly ninety-two percent said it feels skin feels clean and refreshed and eighty-nine percent said it absorbs excess surface oil instantly alright so the next thing that I got here is from stila and this is the stay all day liquid lipstick and this one is in the color baki by sea mejor BAC I so I did have a sample of a seal stay all day through I think it was an Ipsy bag or birchbox I can't remember which but I really liked it because it was super long lasting it did not dry out my lips but I didn't like the color was too too Bolin to too bright for me so excuse me I'm sorry I'm still sick still coughing anyway so I wanted to try a color that maybe I would really like oh my gosh it feels it's already dry on the lips like it's not just on the edges it's still drying out that's just a couple of seconds it dried really really quickly but I like this it's kind of like a a maulvi kind of pinky purple a lip color I don't think I own anything like this I really like this that's really nice alright so and they also send over samples all the time I feels like a random one not just one particular thing what is it like a mixed sample I guess so what is it they sent me only two samples of that kind of sucks this is the air patrol BB cream eyelid primer from benefit and then a Smashbox photo finish foundation primer and maybe they're saying that this is a sample I don't know is there anything else no the pellets and locks so hmm so let's see here a little little tiny bit of transfer but I had another lip color underneath um but it's just beautiful let's see I love this is so pretty it really is so so pretty all right and then from JustFab I've had a couple of credits because I slacked again and so I had two credits and I got a sweater this is one of those cardigans that have you know the front kind of hangs I'll kind of I'll pay what it looks like and then I got a pair of jeans these are black kind of stretchy stretchy jeans but the size i got it's a little bit too too big so they're really good with returns and i'm going to go ahead and return this and get the next size down I didn't know because they don't have like size 7 size a size nine tight n whatever they have like the sizes in like 30 129 so I got 31 because i read somewhere that someone wears a size 10 and they got a 31 and it fit them well and I'm like in between sizes right now because I gained I put on some some pounds and so I figured I would go and get the next size up because they always that you know if you're anyway it's better to get something that is your size a little bit bigger than to get something that's too small because then you fold out all over the place so you get something that fits you right then it will look right so I take it a 31 but it's too big so this is the sweater like this sweater a lot it's gray and it's got extra extra long sleeves so if you're like a tall person so which means you'll have longer arms and I do this will actually fit you last year so it has like it drapes like this it doesn't have buttons or anything like that but i love this i have another sweater similar to this and i love that you can just wrap yourself up all nice and cozy but it just drapes down so i'm all about comfort and being cozy and it's a little bit cool it's gonna be freezing tomorrow here in the upper 40s so here in Miami upper 40s is freezing so I just I just love this I might I don't know I like the jeans to I tried them on and I really like the fit of them except for the waist was just too too big and the clutch kind of hung down a little bit awkwardly and it didn't look cute so yeah definitely I gotta get a smaller size all right you guys so that is everything that I got in the mail this week thank you so very much for watching and leave me a comment down below if you will know any questions I don't know comments just leave them down below and i'll be sure to answer them and i will see you again in another video bye

by the way you have done everything possible in order to make this prize as great as it is now so thank you so much for everything and a warm welcome to all of you and with it we would like to move over to the films [Music] um foreign mainstream octane um foreign [Music] foreign [Music] thank you foreign [Music] thank you foreign [Music] foreign [Music] foreign [Music] [Laughter] [Music] [Laughter] foreign [Music] foreign [Music] foreign [Music] foreign [Music] [Applause] thank you lie before their friends here with us in this room and online live with us when I started studying jumana safe's life and work I also was reminded of the long-running political fights and the war in Syria it has been 12 years now that women and men in Syria started to demand on serious streets dignity Justice and freedom the violent reaction by the regime has since cost more than half a million people their lives while 130 000 became victims of false disappearances almost every family in Syria has one of their loved ones missing at least more than half of all syrians men and women were forced to leave the places and flee from them where they called home and the terrible earthquake on the 6th of February has exacerbated the suffering of those who had already been hit hardest and as I've heard again from jumana many of those were forced to leave and go there they did not leave their voluntary on their own account they were taken there I'm very well aware of the fact that many of us are not in the mood for celebrations because of the earthquake and our thoughts today also go out to the people and our partners in the region and we wish to express to all those who have lost family and friends our deepest and most sincere condolences but despite all this suffering and all this pain we need hope and that is that's exactly what our Laureate this year Joanna seif represents with her personality and her work on behalf of the rights of women for self-determination and democracy against the despotism which also hits her family despite or particularly due to the political violence used by the regime against her family jomana became committed to work for reforms during the democene Spring she studied law so as to be able to defend human rights and the deaf friends addressed against herself and her family Foster during the years of the uprisers against the Shield Assad into exile since 2013 she has been living in Berlin but digimono despite all these horrible experiences and being forced to live in Exile you have not allowed yourself to become intimidated your courage and your commitment for human rights and particularly for the rights of women as steady and steadfast as ever you found it with other activists together here in Berlin the same women's Network the sea and feminist Lobby and the Syrian women's political movement actually this one was set up in Paris so organizations which in one form or another are defending more just Syria of tomorrow in Syria where women are involved in political decision making and we're all enjoy equal lights since the Arab Revolution and its experiences her experiences to see in a position turned jumana into a feminist she was surprised to learn that everything should be rebuilt in the new Syria but women were not involved at the table that had to change since without women peace Justice and a good life cannot be achieved and that's why jamana is fighting for an involvement of women in all political processes and for them to have an indispensable part of a new Syria in a peaceful Syria in the just Syria for men women and for all human beings and she would have deserved to be awarded a prize already for this but for us as a jury there was something else that was decisive to award jamana this year's Anne Klein front price and it is her commitment for legal and judicial fights against gender-based sexualized violence as a tool of systematic political oppression and intimidation in Syria and through the application of the principle of universal jurisdiction also in other countries if such acts and crimes are also potential there sexualized violence is all of the world be used in conflicts in Wars specifically as a me an ultimate means of humiliation and it leads to irreparable damage and traumatization of the survivors who are also often ostracized by the various societies and discrimented against our foreign minister annabelberg has this year presented her principles for feminist foreign policy and one of the most important motives behind that was this extreme Damage Done by sexualized violence as a lawyer working with the European Center for human constitutional human rights ecchr jamana has so far played an extremely important role in the so-called al-khatib trial at the high Regional Court of complex couplings between 2020 and 2022 it was the first of its kind as a trial against State torture in Syria jomana accompanies the survivors of torture who testify at in the court regarding torture and sexualist violence in the al-khati branch of the secret services in Syria in her report words against silenced Germany discards which Central role the application and the use of sexual violence by Syrian Security Forces against women is being played by this and women arrested for political reasons and the text is mostly constituted of quotes by women who jamana has accompanied and these quotes show an essential difference between the station and departure of women and men women are from the very outset being humiliated and threatened because of their female sex and because of the inferior position with outrides all women expect it to be raped and they are always exposed to all kinds of sexualized violence and humiliation as one witness put it men leave the prison as Heroes while women leave it humiliated and full of this feeling disgrace and it's all the more that I owe all respect to all the women who had the courage and the energy to face this trial and this processes and who allowed yamana to use their testimonies in a very painful process and to publish it in her report we as a foundation have for a long a long time supported ecch are in the trial and for many years we are at the site of seeing civil society and we will continue to do that through our green networks and to use them so as to give a voice to those who survived in the German public in the German public sphere and we will continue to support the efforts of our Syrian partner organizations for criminal justice such as jumana and her work work on in the al-khatib trial the sentence was rendered in January 2022 the defendant was found guilty and was sentenced to lifelong imprisonment sexualized violence was thus for the first time not only considered an individual case but also a part of systematic crime against Syrian people population and thus as a crime against humanity UN General Secretary to encourage counted in 232 in all parts of the world 49 conflict parties used sexualized violence that means that rape and enforced persecution and enforced abortions and enforce sterilizations are used in many conflicts systematically as a tool in the war the victims are almost exclusively female but also queer persons non-binary and trans persons as well as men and boys are exposed to this kind of violence in 2022 a report was published under systematic application of sexualized violence during the Lebanese Civil War which is was which occurred 30 years ago and only then it became clear to many that this form of violence was hardly ever mentioned in the meters and meters of standard works on this war let alone being punished be it in the former youth labia in Rwanda in Colombia in Iran in Myanmar or Ukraine sexualist violence is a global phenomenon and if women do not enjoy rights if they are deprived of education and health care they are left to the mercy of men such as a decade in Afghanistan based on against this background we cannot but value enough jumana's achievements and accomplishments having turned sexualized violence as a constituent of criminal offense in its own right as a crime against humanity I told you in the beginning that we need hope hope for peace hope for a more just Futures in 2018 we awarded the uninclined prime first to Miles angarita engineer from Colombia because they had given a voice to women in their country who had been exposed to sexualized violence through the armed conflict there and I've now read up on their species again and I felt very much how important it is for the societal reconstruction that these humiliated women became empowered again by speaking up and being listened to and experiencing Justice and be able to get involved in peace negotiations in the womb the Electoral victory of gustavi petrol and friendship Marcus was also rendered possible by the empowerment of these women and that these are the very perspectives we're hoping for for Syria for Egypt for Iran for Ukraine after the end of the war for Belarus and the Russian Society thank you and this is what jumana represents for me she represents the force not to give up to keep fighting and struggling and demanding Justice Justice for Lama Sarah sawson and Hala for those whose testimonies we can read up on in the report words against silence and who became victims of the henchmen of the Syrian regime and with this hope and with this power one day we'll be able to build up a new Syria a more peaceful and a more just Savior for men women and for all human beings dear friends male and female I would like to invite you here today to honor a woman here today with me who fights for justice who struggles for this Justice indeed she is trying to shape actively a new and a different future for Syria and also for women all over the world the uneclient frown price is a pro is an award that wants to encourage and render things and stand in solidarity with women the members of the jury of this prize the heinished Bell foundation and me we are very happy to be able to honor you and your work and to stand beside you in solidarity warmest congratulations to you dear jumana but now I'd like to hand over the floor to today's lottery is a lawyer and she used to be the EU director between 1994 and 2021 of Human Rights Watch and currently she is the chair of the board of ecchr and we've already cooperated for a long time within the creatory board of the foundation and when we requested Lotte to speak here today she accepted immediately and I'm very happy that now here today she can in a very special way appreciate Joanna's work as a lawyer herself Lotter the floor is yours thank you very much I will speak in English so germana you can take off the earphones if you want to thank you ime thank you everyone for coming here to celebrate a remarkable lawyer friend and woman let me start with a quote the meaning of my life is to help build a democratic Syria that offers the same rights to men and women and the life in dignity only then will the struggle be over unquote these are the words of germana safe Syrian lawyer human rights campaigner women's rights campaigner who is today rewarded with the Anna with the Anna Klein women's award congratulations standing up for human rights democracy and freedom in Syria means pain a pain that jomana her family and too many syrians know all too well in Syria germana's family suffered immense persecution including torture enforced disappearances of family members and murder and eventually they were forced to flee the country from early age to Mana experienced our family members were arrested and disappeared by the regime only to never be heard of again to this day she and her family doesn't know the fate of her little brother ayed jomana's father who is also here today spent eight years behind bars his crime political opposition to the ruling Syrian regime yes standing up for democracy and rule of law is not a crime but in Syria those who peacefully Advocate political reforms they go to jail and they suffer ruthless crimes at the hands of the regime they will do anything to literally kill all descent Joanna says that she studied law to counter these attacks against her family against activists against women but now she's using her legal knowledge and training not only to defend the women's rights and human rights of syrians no today jomana Works to bring those who violate these rights who torture who rape and who disappear people to Justice I will not repeat the Myriad of heinous crimes inflicted on the people of Syria Emma already did that and while this is an evening where we celebrate the tenacity courage and Humanity of germana and her colleagues let also me start by expressing my heartfelt and deepest sympathy with everyone who have lost friends and loved ones and all the families who are kept in limbo not even knowing whether they're dear ones disappeared by the Syrian regime are still alive in preparing my remarks for my friend jomana a woman that I so greatly admire I thought about a long evening talk that we had just across the street from here in The deutsches teata Spar about a year ago it was a beautiful almost spring-like evening but the topics we were discussing were not fit for a relaxed mood and atmosphere in this wonderful place germana that evening recounted the horrifying details of evidence of torture rape and sexual violence against women and men students the medical workers the journalists the human rights activists arrested in Syria and disappeared into the regimes extensive network of Prisons attention and interrogation facilities evidence that she and her colleagues had gathered in Syria so germana said for women arrest means sexual abuse humiliation and even rape we talked about the fears of the witnesses and torture and rape survivors who had escaped these detention hellholes to tell the story the fears of reprisals from a long arm of the regime's intelligence sentiment lives marked by trauma and of a state of being on constant alert even after settling in Germany and then it struck me that germana's own biggest fear in relation to her work Gathering evidence of crimes and assisting victims was not that the worse that the world would ignore their suffering would forget about Syria that governments would simply move on and restart relations with a regime that carries the responsibility of hundreds of thousands of deaths and the suffering of Millions feared that all syrians who have been punished tortured raped and killed simply because they had the audacity to peacefully stand up and demand something that so many of us are taking for granted the right to live without fear of persecution in a country where Freedom rights and democracies respected that they would become mere numbers that we would forget their names and their stories germana feared that the Syrian political leaders and the regime thogs responsible for these despicable crimes that continue to this day would never be held accountable she feared that there will be no comprehensive Justice For The Suffering of countless syrians foreign of the Syrian regime's perch on descent and opposition and its consequent brutal yes war against civilians it was clear that although that although governments around the world strongly condemned the violations and repeatedly declared their support for the Syrian people the power to protect the victims was limited in repeated statements in U.N resolution States insisted that perpetrators would be held accountable but it was obvious that achieving Justice for the crimes was going to be a real challenge pursuing Justice for regime crimes before Syrian courts was and it remains a non-starter in Syria the courts are being used to punish people who stand up for human rights not the criminals who violate people's rights in principle the international criminal court that has the mandate to investigate and prosecute all crimes crimes against humanity and genocide when states are unwilling or unable to do so should be activated but Syria is not a member of this court and the U.N security Council was paralyzed by Russia and China that vetoed a resolution back in 2014 that would have given the court jurisdiction over atrocities in Syria so we decided that instead of banging our heads against the U.N security Council doors where Russia supported by China was set to use its veto power over and over again to protect the Syrian regime and shield its officials from the REITs of international Justice we fixed our attention on one imperative securing the evidence of crimes in a manner that would stand the test of court and we turn to the general assembly instead where all U.N members are represented and no one has a veto here we worked with like-minded states to establish a U.N mechanism that would be mandated to investigate gather analyze and secure evidence of grave International crimes in Syria for the purpose of assisting future Criminal prosecutions before courts that would observe International due process standards when the security Council failed to do its Duty and give the ICC jurisdiction we wanted to go for the second best we wanted the U.N to establish what basically would be an international prosecutor without a court and admittedly without the power to indict perpetrators but we wanted to give Syrian victims of crimes hope and we wanted perpetrators to know that evidence of their crimes would be secured and would be ready to assist criminal prosecutions when the time was right we wanted those who believed that they would get away scot-free with rape torture and killings shelling of civilians hospitals and schools to know that they would face Justice Maybe not immediately but one day there was no shortage I must say of what I would call polite skepticism expressed by very high ranking diplomats to this initiative the general assembly has never done this before it can't be done one Ambassador told me others said well don't waste your time on this initiative because Russia will surely be able to Rally enough support to bring it down do something else but honestly here's the first time for everything and we had absolutely nothing to lose so not even trying wasn't an option and step by step states started to come on board and they've actually became very powerful Advocates themselves among them was Germany and finally in the evening of December 21st 2016 to Russia's in Syria's utter dismay the U.N general assembly with overwhelming majority adopted resolution 71 248 it's smart in my brain establishing this new historic U.N investigative body for Syria and then it gave the body an impossible name they named it the international impartial and independent mechanism in short what we call the triple IM Catherine Marshall a French judge with Decades of experience working for international ad hoc tribunals was appointed to lead this important work her colleague Michelle Jarvis is with us today [Applause] to tell today Catherine and Michelle and their teams of experts are actively assisting investigations and prosecutions by more than a dozen National prosecutors acting under the principle of universal jurisdiction this principle which is enshrined in many national laws and consistent with international law provides National judiciaries with jurisdiction over crimes considered so grave that they can be prosecuted regardless of where the crimes were committed and regardless of the nationality of the victims or the suspected perpetrators Germany has one of the best laws in the world embracing this Universal jurisdiction Paradigm and it has borne fruit particularly with regards to a trustee crimes in Syria as was already mentioned on January 13 last year the first trial in the world involving the Syrian regime's crimes against humanity came to an end in call blends here the higher Regional Court found Anwar are a former Syrian intelligence officer guilty of crimes against humanity as a co-parpetrator of the murder of 27 people the deprivation of Liberty and torture of at least 4 000 people engraved sexual violence including rape both female and male detainees and the court sentenced him to life in person the coupland's court found that these crimes were grave systematic and widespread and that they were part of a state of a state policy to eliminate peaceful protest and to curb any public dissent for the first time in the world an independent Court established that these despicable crimes were part of the regime's policy at the highest level of leadership policy and I repeat crimes against humanity the conviction of Anwar followed the same courts earlier conviction of another suspect Aryan a employee of Anwar who was also found guilty of complicity and torture and severe deprivation and Liberty of at least 30 people he was sentenced to four and a half years in prison the Copeland's trial and subsequent other trials now here in Germany against Syrian regime Representatives would most likely not have happened had it not been for the tireless work and the determination and efforts by courageous Syrian lawyers like germana Syrian activists Witnesses victims and their families their efforts to gather evidence and their work with the lawyers from the European Center for constitutional and human rights here in Berlin and colleagues are here also this evening turning the evidence that had been gathered into substantial criminal complaints that were then submitted to the German Federal prosecutor is quite simply remarkable and the fact that sexual violence and rape was ultimately included in the criminal charges leveled against Anwar and the Court's ruling that these crimes were part of a state policy amounting to crimes against humanity is the direct result principled work by you germana and your ecchr colleagues thank you [Applause] the criminal complaints and motions that you and your ecchr colleagues filed are utterly Grim reading they are records of atrocity crimes that we can only imagine in our worst nightmares but they made a massive difference one of the plaintiffs in the koblen's trial was Wasim mukdad whose beautiful music you are enjoying here tonight and that music makes me cry and smile at the same time [Applause] in his closing statement in the court vasim said and I quote I stand before you today demanding Justice I do not seek revenge or retribution the Syria that I dream of and that I struggled and continue to struggle for must be based on the foundation of justice and the rule of law not on violence counter violence and revenge and vasim continued a syrians we look forward to the day when our country will be a country that respects our rights and does not attack us we are tired of the intractable situation in Syria for decades our blood has been shed without anyone being held accountable unquote after the courts ruling jomana wrote the Alcatel trial is a major step it marks the beginning of the Reckoning with the crimes of the Assad regime which has gone unpunished for more than 50 years unquote another Syrian plaintiffs in the trial told me about how it had empowered him he said in this courtroom I was not merely a victim launter torture I was there to seek Justice and the Syrian trial Observer and very dear friend told me this is the first time that I'm in a courtroom where facts and evidence matter and where the outcome of the trial is not a foregone conclusion this is actual Justice yes the coupland's trial is an important Milestone of international Justice and it sets a powerful example facts evidence and Justice it matters it can we can bring perpetrators of atrocious crimes to Justice before National courts and National courts have a vital role to play also with regards to truth-telling and historical memory about the heinous crimes of dictators and their regimes and The Bravery of Syrian activists and survivors made this happen also at this point I think it is important to give special thanks to the German Federal prosecutor's office and to the German Judiciary for their determination and for their professionalism and for and here I quote you germanna opening the pathway for justice for syrians while other Pathways were blocked and finally warm things should go to the Highlight Birch devtool to you Barbara to all your colleagues to you amen for your critically important financial and other support to the Justice efforts by syrians supported by the ecchr from the get-go you understood the importance of embarking on this Justice Journey your unwavering support made such a difference thank you [Applause] thank you the Copeland's trial also exposed a number of shortcomings including legal gaps with regards to crimes or the definition of crimes translation restrictions access to documents for members of the press and observers during the trial sorry I'm getting a cold and my nose is running insufficient support and protection of plaintiffs of witnesses of victims and it exposed the importance of trial records for historical memory and truth-telling based on these Lessons Learned germana and the ecchr submitted concrete recommendations for urgently needed improvements here in Germany to the Justice Ministry and to members of the German Parliament I'm happy to report to you that just a few days ago on February 23rd the German Justice Minister presented a list of reforms that to a large extent reflect these proposals made by germana and her colleagues Pavel yes Justice matters and we need to constantly improve law practice to ensure that Justice is actually served because impunity for atrocity crimes fuels further crimes impunity encourages those who cynically calculate that they can without any risks deploy crimes including torture rape and killings to spread Terror and fear and thereby silence dissent and eliminate opposition to their power and impunity for indiscriminate and targeted shellings of hospitals schools markets and civilian homes and infrastructure only encourages brutal dictators and their fuckish regimes to continue deploying such crimes and as effective means to achieve their goals and to solidify their unchecked power on wealth and privileges impunity for war crimes crimes against humanity genocide and the crime of aggression today will have devastating consequences for the world our children will inhabit tomorrow the Assad regime has been able to viciously crack down on syrians human rights and dreams of democracy and freedom also due to the support of Russia and Iran both countries have taken direct part in the commission of war crimes perpetrated in Syria Russian forces have bombed hospitals schools and civilian homes from the air reducing or reducing Syrian towns to Rubble Iranian militias have worked hand in glove with Syrian regime forces committing crimes on the ground and President Putin has used Russia's veto power in the in the U.N security Council to protect protect his brutal Ally in Damascus while Russia and Iran are persecuting descent at home they are engaging in atrocity crimes abroad yes Syria Russia and Iran have been and still are partners in crime crimes that continue with utter impunity when Russia launched its full-scale military invasion of Ukraine accompanied by its campaign of war crimes many declared that this blatant violation of the U.N Charter of the United of the U.N Charter our Global Constitution so to say and it's ruthless laws of war violations were not only the greatest threat to our International rules-based order but marked the end of it but is that actually the case couldn't the exact opposite be the reality fact is that in response to Putin's manifestly illegal War we are experiencing The Awakening of dormant International institutions along with national Regional and international resolve to enforce the prohibition on War and to advance Justice for this supreme crime fact is also that Russia's crime of aggression and war crimes have ignited unprecedented International Regional and National efforts to raise the cost for grave crimes of international law and to gather evidence of crimes and pursue different Justice paths to ensure that perpetrators all the way to the top will face Justice Ukraine is not a member of the international criminal court but it referred jurisdiction over all of its territory to the court already back in 2013 and 2014. the court is now actively Gathering evidence grave crimes all over Ukraine and it has received significant additional financial support from several states to conduct its investigations the international criminal court can prosecute top political leaders including possibly even the presidents of Russia and Belarus for atrocity crimes committed on the territory of Ukraine if the court can prove their command responsibility for these crimes that's difficult National courts acting Under Universal jurisdiction on the other hand have do not have the power to prosecute such sitting heads of government state and foreign ministers who enjoy yeah unwarranted immunity due to their leadership positions from the reach of national courts Ukraine's own investigative authorities assisted by experts from a number of countries are now Gathering evidence of grave crimes several National prosecutors or european prosecutors including the German Federal prosecutor are conducting structural investigations and eurojust the European Union's Agency for criminal justice Corporation acts as a focal point for all this evidence Gathering also U.N human rights experts are collecting facts about grave violations of international human rights and humanitarian law in Ukraine but an important piece of this Justice puzzle is missing there is currently no Avenue to hold Russian and possibly Belarusian political and military leaders accountable for the manifestly illegal War itself the crime of aggression against Ukraine and the Supreme crime from which all other atrocities flow icc's jurisdiction over crime of aggression is unfortunately restricted to Nationals of states that have ratified the court statute and a dedicated Amendment neither Russia nor Belarus have done so the U.N security Council of course could refer this crime the war itself against Ukraine to the ICC but Russia would surely stop that from happening so is there nothing we can do is our message to other despots now if they come to that if they can't come contemplate invading their neighbors they should just go ahead and that they would face no they would maybe face sanctions but that would be it no when the very stability of the world order is at stake we need bold multilateral Solutions and responses and in this case we need an ad hoc special International Tribunal for the crime of aggression against Ukraine [Applause] with the security Council blocked we need to once again like we did on the case of Syria turn to the UN General Assembly and this body of the U.N where all states are represented can and in my view should adopt a resolution that would pave the way for establishing such a special Tribunal which would then subsequently be set up by treaty States should however at the same time work vigorously to reform the international criminal court to finally ensure that the court will have the same jurisdiction over the crime of aggression the war as it has for all other International crimes it's time contrary to war crimes and crimes against humanity the crime of aggression is not that complicated to prove before court and criminal responsibility goes straight to the top it is a crime that only people in leadership positions can commit as professor of law Philip Sands said in an interview recently frankly the crime of aggression is a slam dunk the indictment writes itself when it comes to Ukraine there is no difficulty of proof there is no difficulty of evidence it's not only the decision to wage war it's the decision to continue waging it over and over again even after the international court of justice has said in a binding legal decision stop withdraw your troops Every Act every attack every bomb on a theater with with a thousand people is a crime of aggression I don't want to let these people off the hook with so much attention to Ukraine and the renewed International efforts to ensure Justice for crimes in relation to this manifestly illegal War some critics are rightly pointing out double standards and raising serious concerns that other conflicts and atrocity crimes in other places have been and continue to be ignored now by the very same states that are actively calling for the establishment of a special Tribunal for Ukraine they argue that victims of horrific crimes in other places around the world are being ignored and yes they have a good point but the answer to their legitimate criticism should not be to not to deny Justice for crimes in Ukraine the answer should be to redouble our efforts on behalf of Justice everywhere foreign failures to deliver Justice in the past dictate dictate failures in the future instead we should use this moment this wake-up call to reinforce International resource to protect our International rules-based order we should insist on the respect of international law and ensure Justice for violations everywhere only then can our International rules serve as credible tools to the protection of people and their human rights anywhere last summer I joined a meeting with Denny with Dr Dennis makuege the 2018 Nobel Peace Laureate he spoke about the ongoing war crimes in his home country the Democratic Republic of Congo in gruesome detail he described the suffering of women and children who have been raped and sexually abused by Rebel forces victims who are now receiving treatment for their physical and psychological scars in his pansy Hospital Dr McGregor stressed the importance of justice for these horrendous crimes intended by the perpetrators to destroy the lives of women children their families and the Very fabric of their communities he then turned his attention to the war against Ukraine and to the gruesome sexual violence and rape perpetrated by Russian soldiers there working in a hospital in the Democratic Republic of Congo where atrocities continue with utter impunity while receiving very little International attention he said one could be tempted to become jealous of the international Focus afforded to the Horus in Ukraine and the massive International commitment to pursue Justice for the victims there but Dr McGregor then passed and looked us all in the eye and with a very firm voice he said no I am not jealous I say Bravo and I say let us repeat the same commitment everywhere let's stand with victims and survivors all over the world they all have a right to see Justice Done yes Justice matters and it must be applied without discrimination we cannot insist on Justice for international crimes in one place and ignore or even deny Justice in other places we cannot ignore crimes just because those responsible may be considered allies or because demanding Justice for the victims in a particular place would not serve our national interests let us be inspired by the tenacity and the principal efforts of our amazing Syrian colleagues who have the courage the humanity and the dignity not to demand revenge for the crimes they have they and their friends have and loved ones have suffered but to insist on Justice as the only path forward let's listen to people like Dr mongue and escalate the international momentum to advance Justice for victims of grave crimes everywhere let's make sure that Russia's brutal and manifestly illegal war against Ukraine will not be the end of international law but the new starting point for our legal resolve and our political determination to ensure that perpetrators will not continue to get away with torture rape and killings whether in Europe in Africa Asia the Middle East North or South America let's commit let's commit to what I would call a comprehensive ambitious and bold agenda for justice dear germana I cannot begin to tell you how honored I am to be here this evening celebrating you your work your courage and your Humanity you inspire so many including me to do better to do more never to give up the fight for the respect of Human Rights and to insist on Justice for grave violations no matter who the victims or the perpetrators are you and your wonderful colleagues have shown us that with hard work there is a path for justice you have moved Mountains and the work continues you have taught us the importance and the value of justice for those most affected by appalling persecution and abuse and you have reminded us that for the survivors for the victims and the families Justice for atrocity crimes is not a moral luxury it is a right from the bottom of my heart thank you dear germana and warm congratulations on receiving the Anna Klein women's award thank

to many men and women such as me and others I'm I'll keep it brief jamana it's an honor for us that you have been granted this an incline women's award and I'm offering this next piece to you which I've composed for this very occasion and you're an inspiration a source of inspiration for me myself and for a generation of men and women who fight for better and more just future thank you very much [Music] thank you [Music] foreign [Music] foreign [Music] thank you [Music] foreign [Music] foreign [Music] foreign [Music] foreign [Music] [Laughter] [Music] thank you [Music] thank you foreign [Music] foreign [Applause] please come up on stage huh [Applause] thank you [Applause] thank you [Applause] it's better the usury of the bullet to come so I'd like to ask Jerry to come up on stage as well and lost a few bit be so kind to join us [Applause] please exactly yes very emotional to take him this uh first of all I'd like to thank all of you profusely that he having come here that you are attending this event I think it was a heartfelt pleasure for me thank you very much for your interest and I'd also like to start by thinking the Heinrich both Foundation and its entire team here in Berlin and in Beirut for having awarded this prize to me which I consider a distinction granted to all Saiyan women and as a recognition of each support of Human Rights and other just courses and on behalf of your policy for all just courses dear friends male and female only a few days a few days after the announcement of the decision of the jury got in touch with me to congratulate me show it to me we are just as happy as you about this decoration it it raises our hopes that there's still people around who are interested in our course my friend Amal holds a degree in sociology and used to be working in Damascus for many years as a social worker at different high schools she sided with the Syrian Evolution and committed herself to this struggle for Freedom civil rights and the rule of law her husband was arrested in August 2013 and remains disappeared and up to this very day Amal used to fight back in Syria in Damascus for justice and she forward for knowing what had happened to her husband the journalist jihant Muhammad and that's why the security authorities started to search for her so she was forced to flee first of all she hit at different places in Syria until she ended up in antakia in Turkey where she lived in a small room with a view to an olive tree of an olive tree and grapevines and Roses that's what she told me at least and it was there that she continued her work on the issue of false disappearances and supported victims of sexual violence ammo just managed to escape from the earthquake which hit turkey and Syria on the 6th of February of this country this year but she is now once more under the shock of loss since she has lost many of her friends and neighbors who had become her new family over there was displaced once more and was forced to leave her small room which now lay in rubble with the Olive Tree The Grape Wine and the rose bushes she managed to stay with a friend in Ankara where she took refuge and she does not know what lies in stock for her in the future ammo who always used to be a source of inspiration and energy for myself and all surrounding her is no longer in a good shape nobody knows what is going to be coming in the future her very name Amal means hope in Arabic and I've always told her you live up to your name but her and our hope is threatened or is about to vanish since as syrians we are stumbling from one catastrophe into the next amount in this is similar to many of my friends male and female who have been exposed to all kinds of violations and injuries over the course of the past few years I have interviewed hundreds of survivors men and women who have been arrested tortured and expelled and many of whom have experienced sexual violence the majority of these women were expelled from their towns and villages together with hundreds of thousands of other Syrian men and women who were forcefully displaced to the northwest of Syria many of them were single mothers and had been exposed to continuous Russian Air Raids and the despotism of and the arbitraredness of groups in charge on the ground they suffer violence from disguise and now also from the ground their resistance is weak and feeble and fragile and the earthquake has yet once again rendered them homeless for five long days the areas in the north west of Syria were left to their own devices in the face of the catastrophe the Border crosses remained closed for rescue teams and international Aid while they were waiting for an authorization from Assad in Damascus from this same Assad who had bombarded bombarded these very people with chemical weapons the borders were only opened five days later when the hope of entire families to once again be able to find their loved ones under the rubble had already evaporated and excuses and regrets were no longer of any use to anyone dear friends male and female could you imagine that 90 of the Syrian population have never experienced any other rule one ruling Syria then the Assad family in this very Republic which Bashar inherited from his father me personally have never ever experienced any other person ruling Syria I was born 19 in 1970 in the very same year when half as Allah took over power in Syria which he handed down to his son in 2000 in this past 53 years Syria was turned into huge open-air prison and I've experienced this fear from disappearance torture and the rest since my very childhood and I have had the experience such as all members of my generation how the regime uses the detention and the rest as its main tool for oppression and submission Syria has since Decay mission of the massacres in Palmyra and Hammer into an Imperium of silence and when the syrians in 2011 decided to break their silence and to speak up on behalf of the dignity and their freedom Assad Jr out surpassed his father when it came to brutality and committed abhorrent crimes which are continuing to this very day since the outbreak of the Revolution who which is going to see its 12. anniversary this very month on the 12th of March she said every day syrians men and women have taken upon themselves enormous efforts to document these crimes many of them were also killed were abducted and disappeared such as my friends others risked their lives so as to take evidence out of the country and to present it to the International Community to hold the perpetrators accountable and would like to highlight here particularly the courageous photographer with the code name Caesar but despite all these efforts and sacrifices and the proofs of the proof and the evidence put forward by Syrian organizations the triple IM and international human rights organizations the doors of the international criminal court remained closed to the victims despite numerous repetitive attempts and the reason for that was the Russian and Chinese medu in March 2007 the Heinrich Bill Foundation organized in this bedroom on this very stage in information evening with my dear colleague wolf kankalic which whom back at the time I did not know personally and he discussed the principle of universal jurisdiction and the criminal trial that had been opened or a terminal investigation that had been opened by the federal public prosecutor of Germany and he discussed with survivors from Syria and despite the pain about what they reported back then I also felt the flame of Hope For Justice for Syria those seem to be opening for the recognition of the victims and the suffering and their pain that we had experienced a door that opened two Woods the truth recompensation and to a fight against impunity it started in this bedroom so it was a door towards operations and against impunity as I said a few weeks later at the federal foreign office that is a few weeks after this evening here in this bedroom I met at the federal foreign office with representatives of German Civil Society organizations who work on the Syrian course and that's why I got to know Lily Carter who offered to me to apply with the ecchr for your job where she was already working herself and that was really a strike of luck for myself I do very well recall the job interview I had with Patrick Crocker and how he smiled when I told him I would love to cooperate with you even if it were only to be on a voluntary basis because it is work I do for my very own course he's here with us Patrick so this my cause I have not only recently taken up work since I arrived in Germany but ever since I became aware of the fact that women are exposed to an enormous amount of Injustice and how the underlying mechanisms Behind These are conditioning these injustices in the beginning of my professional life I experienced through my proximity to many working women how severe the violence and the Discrimination is which women are suffering from in my country it is happening on a social judicial political and cultural level and it determines their very daily life and I became aware of the fact that this violence and discrimination is a result of the political tyranny and the complex City with other forces who have similar interests and the women are thus put in a position that they are considered below men and that's how the dictatorship succeeds to neutralize half of the Syrian population and in so doing it also relies on allies from religious circles and thus cracks down on the entire society and that is exactly what repeated itself at the beginning of the Revolution it is astonishing to see how many women participated because they saw a historic opportunity in this very moment to achieve equality and to liberate themselves from discrimination oppression and exclusion but the regime also used a particle mentally which is a very deeply rooted within the very society and it used the concept of Honor within the family and Society embodied within the very body of the women at the rested female activists and supporters of the Revolution as well as wives daughters and sisters of men who had opposed the regime knowing very well what this would mean for the women in question a woman who has been to prison is experiencing again ostracism by the society itself because many do assume that she's been raped in there and that's how the regime again manages to fragment society and to divide the uprising half in the vacant from the very conviction that Justice can only be inclusive and that nobody can should be excluded in in from the very belief that the right of formerly detained women for reparations me and my colleagues work on along several lines in the social field we have highlighted the different challenges in the social economic and judicial area which female victims of every station and social and gender-specific violence are confidential the campaign road to Justice was initiated by groups of Syrian women's organizations in order to find Pathways to achieve Justice for survivors and to alleviate their suffering in parallel with this we have fought against sexualized and sexual violence and have demanded from International organizations and supporters to make it's like psychological and health services available to victims in long-term projects on a Judicial level after years of Investigations built on a partnership with ecchr and with the same women's Network and unamo and I'm very proud of this very partnership and also with these two other organizations mentioned on behalf of seven survivors we have filed a criminal complaint with the Federal German public prosecutor in which we demanded the investigation of crimes of sexual and gender-based violence which had been committed in the detention centers of the Syrian air intelligence service and the National Security Bureau and the instigations are ongoing even up until this very day and then to in the al-hatib trial in Copelands which was launched in April 2020 at the high Regional Court of Copelands against a former high-ranking security official of the Assad regime the lawyers Patrick Coker and Sebastian Sharma our partners had filed a petition on behalf of a group of witnesses with this very high Regional Court in koblins for having the sexual violence in Syrian being recognized in their own right as the crime against human and not as individual crimes as it had been formulated initially in the indictment the petition contained more than 100 pieces of proof for these crimes and for the fact that they'd been methodically committed and during this trial the first of its kind globally against crimes of Assad as Slaughter has so succinctly point out which lasted for 21 months the courts and the world public listened through the media through upsetting harrowing testimonies of surviving courageous women and men and stating what they had lived through in Assad's jails several of whom told the press end in their concluding plebees in the court that what had made them in had motivated him to participate in their trial despite their fear of reprisals by the regime had been a feeling of responsibility towards those they had left behind in the deaf cells in Syria they wanted to expose to the entire world the truth through in impartial Judiciary and in January of last year the court passed down its historic sentence sexual violence was recognized as a crime against humanity together with murder torture and severe deprivation of Liberty it was a judgment that recognized the rights of the victims and belied the The Narrative of the criminal Assad regime which completely denies these grave violations committed in its prisons me myself I wasn't present in the very courtroom when the Judgment was announced since I had agreed with colleagues that we would leave our seats in the courtroom to family members of victims and this was what enabled me to look into the hopeful faces of those who streamed out of the courtroom after the announcement of the judgment it courageous joint plaintiff told me with a happy face that the court had now eventually recognized sexual violence as a crime against humanity and that it also had dived deeply into the Syrian history and it also explicitly mentioned the massacres committed by Hafiz al-assad and had called them the very founding basis of the dictatorship in Syria over the decades for this witness and all other victims of tyranny this felt like a gratification the koblen's judgment Rose stirred within many syrians The Hope For Justice and some of them got in touch with me afterwards hoping this this would be the very Cornerstone for path towards Justice they were hoping that the Injustice that they'd been exposed to for years without the International Community acting that this Injustice would eventually end one day and that just solution would replace this tragedy syrians men and female after 12 years of these crimes being committed and after the AF quick particularly syrians are more than ever in need of support and solidarity the time has come for fundamental just political solution that goes in line with International resolutions a solution that leads up to democratic transition for which they have sacrificed so much and they need safeguards that their sacrifices have not been in vain what we most fear today and what I do fear most today is normalization of relations with the regime and thus its rehabilitation this in tune would ignore the will and the sacrifices of the Syrian people and if this will come come to pass it was is with considered constitute a severe violation of all human rights and disgrace for mankind and particularly for domestic States since we still hope that those will provide the solution to us and to the Ukrainian and Iranian people in their fight for democracy and dignified life not let these embattled peoples down because the loss of Hope is only going to lead to nihilism and the thirst for Revenge I personally I'm not going to give up this hope dear friends journalists often ask me where do you take the energy for your very consuming work from and I didn't reply from the Syrian men and women who despite all those catastrophes which have Afflicted them are still determined to continue to resist and to make their dream come true I draw this energy from these marvelous Syrian women who have experienced arrest detention and sexual violence and to continue to struggle for just this freedom and equality foreign I draw my energy from mothers and wives of those forcefully disappeared who impress the world with their stamina and determination who make their voices being heard to know about the whereabouts about their beloved ones I draw my energy from the solidarity shown by syrians after the earthquake and the catastrophe who helped each other without any assistance from governments governing forces and without any state agenda they are an example for what is pestilian people and they give us cause for hope for a better future when the conditions are ripe it is not my free choice to not give up hope but it's rather the only possible way and thus I'm not going to give up hope so and this applies to myself just as much as it applies to many Syrian men and women who still remain firmly convinced of their just cause despite all insecurity they continue their path towards humanity and dignity in recognition of all those who have come before us and on behalf of future Generations we know that the path towards Justice is difficult hard and Tony but it is the only right path this is the only way towards Justice we are not going to give up and we're never going to give up hope please allow me to conclude with thinking the heinrichberg foundation who is commit which is committed to so many just causes in the world which supports Syria thank you very much to you thank you very much to my dear father who has taught me what commitment is and from the very beginning was my biggest supporter and still is many things go to

Super Bowl Champion Michael Bennett (Beyond the Lines)
[Music] hi I'm rusty koumori and this is beyond the lines we are broadcasting live from the beautiful think Tec Hawaii TV studio in the Pioneer Plaza in downtown Honolulu this show is based on my book also titled beyond the lines and it's about leadership creating a superior culture of excellence and finding greatness today's special guest won the Super Bowl a few years ago with the Seattle Seahawks and currently plays with the Philadelphia Eagles he is one of the most dominant defensive players in the NFL and he also makes a huge positive impact off the field with his amazing foundation he is Michael Bennett and today we are going beyond football a Michael crane having you on the show today thank you thank you it was fun watching this last Super Bowl with you but I know that it was killing you not to be in that game it was killing me and my body didn't have to fill in the eggs at the same time I just like I said I I really love you know the game of football as far as I understand in the nuances of how is play the amount of where people put into it the amount of sacrifice and amount of dedication that each individual player puts into it and then what a team puts in brings it together and how we have a mantra what we believe in together we go out there accomplish something together and I think football just looks a lot of different barriers when it comes to that it's the kind of place where we play a sport on regardless of our religion and regardless of our political beliefs on that Sunday our gender our color we believe that we have the same goal and I think if life was like that it would be a lot better you know but at the same time football is one of those things were you always go back to that you love that person next to you because you know the type of person is and the character and also to think about being in those games in you learn so much from somebody else you learn a little bit more and watching Tom Brady and the rest of those guys play you get a little jealous because you know what it feels like to be out there on that Sunday and when it's Super Bowl time that's because you were there you want it you want you're a Super Bowl champion I don't what it feels like yeah now you grew up in you were born in New Orleans no a made us a small small town oh wow ten thousand Louisiana they lose them and then you grew up in Texas agrippa Texas and when did you start playing football I don't know maybe I had a football in my cradle the times I remember mostly is like you know the times where the sport photo appeared it was when I was in my grandfather's house and he was a farmer and had a big line I loved used to play football and not least to try to mimic the guys we loved and for me the guys I loved growing up was the Tampa Bay Buccaneers which I know that I will be playing for them future yeah you know one day and and that I love Lawrence a pile of great spires I love booger McFarland I love Ronde Barber you know you know Brooks legends legends you know all these guys and to have an opportunity to you know eventually play for the organization but just playing the sport in heaven just those people that I looked up to and I call Morissette right here yeah you know I'm coming off the edge like that and I'll Sameer I said that's what I just loved that playing football earlier in my grandpa's yard and playing tackle football before we knew about concussions and yeah yeah before that now your mom and dad Michael senior and penny they what did you learn from them through these years I think I learned my moms have obviously she was a teacher so my dad was he important no technology so I think I learned a lot from them as far as actually they're on the wrong ball in there now they look like only Robbie pesto is beckon is worse to the Saints but maybe you know but it's about dedication and I was inspired by the amount of time my mom put into her job I think much of my mom is a kid and seeing her you know most teachers I only say those teachers when it's done that day's been that he lived in their life but my mom always cared about the students beyond just her job and I think me seeing in that type of dedication to your craft or dedication to the people around you it really really helped me grow as an individual and see my dad my dad was always known as neighborhood dad and kid he was always did a lot of things and so looking at him and learning how to be a father and learn how to be parents is something I was really grateful for it and that my parents were really outstanding parents yeah oh that makes sense and you're you're an outstanding father you have a beautiful family yeah your wife Pele and you have three girls yeah what values are you trying to instill in your three girls I think I familiar I just want to teach them the you know empathy and compassion for other people I think a lot of times is you know in this generation where things are all about self gratification and the Twitter Instagram and Facebook things are happening around them how can I teach them about empathy and understanding other people and other standard other people's beliefs and understanding who they are and how can they contribute to society and if possible for me in the most and the most awesome is way possible because they look awesome when I say awesome but those are things I really want to instill in them and having some beliefs in themselves and understanding their women and on top of their their minority because they are women and then on top of that they're black women and and they have a certain amount of things that they have to bear is that they have to break through and that they had that power because they have a father who you know who believes in them not because they're just kids but because of the type of people that they are growing up to be every single day and I try to instill that into them you know have empathy for people have compassion and I think when they do that it just makes them no more well-rounded and by traveling and doing those different things they learn so much through other people's culture I think Hawaii is a great place for that so great melting pot for so many different cultures and I'd love that about this place holy I love hearing all of that and Michael I heard that you were uh you worked as a lifeguard before yeah well I beat the studio I love you I thought it was one of my summer jobs and I loved doing it because it was a time I got to be in the pool I looked a waterpark I got to be in the water park for free the only thing I didn't like was having to be a babysitter for my brother's assistant and the parents are dropping that from our job was like I was trying but that didn't happen so it was the opportunity to have a good job and I love swimming there's something I like doing and was a great was fun and then you you went on a full scholarship to Texas an M for football and after graduating am what happened in the NFL Draft man I didn't get drafted it's to me that was a defining moment in my career because it's one of those things were something you put a lot of work in and it doesn't happen the way you think it should happen and you have two choices you can fall down and just quit or you can stand up to the diversity of what was happening it for me my dad and my wife and my my daughter I had too many people that were you know that had too much support to just fold over I had to stand up and face that adversity and I knew well not being drafted would be a long roll because it was one of the hardest things to do is to go out draft an NFL because you don't have the same opportunity because they have less invested in you but when are you invested in yourself doesn't matter how much people other people are invested in you because when you invest in yourself that's when you get the most dividends and for me I invested in myself and that pay it pay to pay tremendous dividend dividends because I dedicated myself to my craft I put the work in and I knew that I wouldn't be denied I'm not only because the work that I put in but because of the hunger I knew that if I went in and I did was I respected everybody around me but I didn't respect them at the same time I respected him as people but I did I knew that I was the better player and at the same time it just made me you're hungry or football player and he gave me a chip on my shoulder that I'd never written that go the whole time I was an NFL no matter how much success I had are always money more and I always felt like there was not enough and they always doubted me and then helped me and I always said when I didn't feel like I didn't have that chip anymore it'll be time for me to retire oh yeah yeah I know that definitely get keeps you motivated I mean you want to prove to everybody how great you can be yeah so I gotta say Michael you have to be the greatest non drafted free agent the NFL has ever seen yeah well I'm one of them and John Randle some other guys but definitely priests homes and there's a lot of great guys but I think those guys all have the same mindset when they came to accomplishing their goals how could I you know be here but my vision is there oh yeah and so another way to do that is have a clear you know hyper focus as coach Carrie will say to be hyper focus on your your agenda of what you think is your future and how you see yourself planning into that role and for me I saw myself in those roles and always thought myself you know being a great player and I knew if I were put in the work I could be that player and so for me being a draft it was another wall but at the same time we did jump over now Michael so at the Super Bowl with the Seattle Seahawks why did you guys win why did you guys win that Super Bowl because we respect it we respect the type men and respected their organization but at the same time we didn't respect them because we respected their work that they put him that we knew we didn't we didn't respect anything that's about it yeah Tom you know Tom Brady whoever it is but a minute we just knew that he put a lot of work in but we were better and I think the everybody around me every single game we had their collective thought that no matter where we respect those people that we would respect them I know it sounds crazy but the same time and you get out there we didn't care about the stats that they had before the Pro Bowl none of that we cared is about how are you going to compete with us today and would you go further than we would go would you play through injury would you do more for your teammate and we knew that every single Sunday there would be a team that wouldn't do that because not only because of the teaming work but because of the bond up here at the amount of time that we spend with each other outside and I think a great team is a team who can understand each other outside of what they do regardless of as a sport or the job this when you spend time with your you know your teammates outside of the workplace that you can grow as a team and I think for us we understood and we experienced marriage together we experienced death together we experienced both together for us they helped us soar as a team and I think we had these kind of bars that took us long beyond just the football field but friends forever yeah deep very deep and very like loyal and very respectful very trusting so what was you guys a team culture like it was ours about competing I think Oh skills no more thing is compete I'm Pierre the higher level never complain there's always somebody that got the worst in you after we competed every single day and I think that drove us to something that was great I think we competed at a level on our team but we had respect because sometimes coaches say compete but they forget we're athletes you got to turn to compete off when they're on the same team sometime you got to make them realize they're on the same team and some coaches can't do that because curls great ice and compete we'll also remember that we're on the same team we don't need to go farther than where we need to go then just making that play we don't need to kick each other in the ground when you throw each other in the ground one either hit the quote back we need to compete at a high level but understand to have respect for your teammates and I think that's what it was made as great because we competed every single day and we love each other so what why else was Pete Carroll such a great coach and still is a great coach I think okay I always took the Google effect I think a lot of coaches don't take the Google effect they try to find a way not to they trying to find out the way that a person be a human being you know they say things like sell you will take away your humanity I think as Kara always puts her humanity first even though was a business we seem to put your humanity first and I think that doing that he allow people to be themselves people would have a certain trust that they didn't have for other coaches and I think those care about taking that Google effect and making it seem like you were in a safe place making it seem that you were a long family and being able to bring your family to work and all these different things things that you would have to worry about when you were on other teams that you couldn't know what was going on but we had your family and the coaches and the wives all hang together it was nice and I think that's what made us such a great team because he understood the mindset and the philosophy around the organization was family first compete and I think that's what made us great makes sense now I have a question for you Michael as a defensive player have you ever scored a touchdown yes court against a new oil I said really really my best friend cliff took the ball I caught it running to the endzone I was behind me I was crazy because Drew Brees was such a great quarterback and I also just like and it was a lot of all my teammates back for me and as we're being rid of everybody does their job and won't play an interception yeah so speaking of another great quarterback Tom Brady what are your thoughts about Tom Brady is he's so great I think anybody if you read his book or his his things that he does I think he's his dedication to his craft I think you respect Tom Brady because you see the amount of work that he puts in it's very rare that a person are purchasing trends up in their later years most people start to trend down with their health and I'm not just talking about sports in general or others relationships they youngbae relationship they read it the best it is if the audience starts to go down and he's filing away the peak in the moments where everybody else seems to be declining and I think that's what makes time great it's great he finds new ways to recreate himself and everybody's not willing to recreate themselves they're not willing to you know break their old habits they're not willing to try something different you know they just I used to do this this way and I think you can be able to recreate yourself but also let yourself evolve in a positive manner like Tom Brady's done I think you can have that Griff that he's a dad on the football field yeah oh that sounds good and Michael we're gonna take a quick break and when we come back we're gonna continue going beyond football yes you're watching beyond the lines on think tech Hawaii with my special guest Super Bowl champion Michael Bennett we will be back in a quick minute hey Aloha my name is Andrew laning I'm the host of security matters Hawaii airing every Wednesday here on think tech Hawaii live from the studios I'll

along you welcome back to beyond the lines on think tech Hawaii my special guest today is one of the best players in the NFL who definitely makes an impact on the field and he also makes a huge positive impact off the field he is Super Bowl champion Michael Bennett and today we are going beyond football Michael you're now with the Philadelphia Eagles how is their team culture like right now you know they're very similar I think me moving teams as I was hired because you wonder can you commit yourself can you do these different things can you you know be the same player can you love your teammates all these different things in coming into that locker room was really cool because it was a lot of great guys like Malcolm Jenkins Fisher Cox and guys they became really good teammates to me and I'm Chris long that's a Bernie Graham so it was feels cool and there was a organization about competing and I loved that so it was a great a great organization and Carson Wentz was great guides ya know it seems like you guys have so many great players and a lot of pieces that is necessary to get to the Super Bowl again yeah we do we have a lot of great guys I think you know Carson was injured last week coming back you know get in Jay a drive back and guys like that and I think it'll really propel our chances to you know really greased a you know we stood chance to win and again I remember suppose did you lose it I don't know I was going to ask you I don't know what I said but we have a chance to get in there with the guys that we have in the defensive line that we have in the linebacker corps and get some corners back we lost a lot of corners last year you played with a lot of young guys I think that hindered us a little bit at the beginning of the season now Michael coach Doug Peterson what what do you like about him as a coach and a leader I think I like the dead played I think you have coaches who play they understand the workload no I understand that you spend away from your family they understand all these different you know variables that happened to players a lot of coaches don't understand because coaches haven't been players and I think Doug has a does a great job of you know tying in it to him being a coach and him used to be used to be a player and I think he does a great job of always believing he has a great heart I think I respect him as a man because he always you know he built he believes in his team he believes in his person not a lot of coaches believe in it every Sunday he goes out and he believes in the guys around him and I think his leadership is they get to know him I think he was one of the best second best guys oh well the top guys that the coach care wasn't my favorite coach in endeavor second oh that's that's high praise yes I know how high your standards are now Michael you read my book beyond the lines about a year ago yeah how did you like the book I left the book I think the mindset of competing and keep winning in and your thought process of all these different things I think is super important because it's not only these things that apply to sports and people always take this idea that sport doesn't apply to a real life maybe real life doesn't apply to split but support applies to realize that because you do all these different things you build these teams you're building these these mantras are these ideas and this fellowship and how do you do this in life and I think the way that you talk about it the way that you put your feelings and the things that you achieved as a coach and as a human I think it's really influential to my life but a lot of other people and I think that's why people are willing to come up and talk to you because they understand that you you're not just talking the talk you walk the walk and I think that's super powerful and I think Hawaii's lucky to have you because not a lot of people out here that are willing to share that type of information to make people better not just his own players but it shall be make them better as human especially young kids because it's not like if those out here that have that positive influence for our children and our youth and I think you definitely have that positive influence and I reached for our children well Michael talking about kids I mean your annotation is absolutely amazing and I wanna I mean that's inspiring to me be like you can you tell our viewers what you guys are doing with the Bennett Foundation I think for me like growing up and seeing athletes like Muhammad Ali in John Carlos and dr. Harry Everett's and all these different great influences as far as like we're doing what do you do those are athlete are you just do you take yourself from humanity and just consider yourself just in this bubble of life where things are safe and you want willing to push yourself beyond your comfort zones to make yourself uncomfortable to things that are happening and I think those people taught me that you know when you are athlete you have an obligation to your community you have an obligation to society to use your platform in a positive way and for me and my foundation that's the most important thing is that is the true definition of me the true definition of athlete through what we supposed to do when we have this platforming we have this Ricci our obligation is not to just sell products to people not to just sell jerseys not to just move and score touchdowns it's to move people's emotions just to move society's needle is to change our communities and positive manners and for me the beneficient is all about that how do we put ourselves in position to share how do we push ourselves in position to inspire how do we push put ourselves in position to be the leaders and teaching these young people behind us to be better leaders than where we were and the people that we had to look up to and for me and my foundation is about food it's about the issues that are happening in America right now and I think right now the things that we're doing in Hawaii as far as like when in our schools our farm-to-table programs went to 30 schools teaching teachers how to do you know teach kids how to eat and Families how to farm and all these different things that nutrition is healthy education and that next thing that we're doing right now we're just in a new curriculum around breaking barriers or baked breaking barriers to social equity to different people around whether it's Pacific Islanders Asian history Native American history on women's equality athletes and impact black and white racial issues the women's issues and showing it how do we create a quick llem in schools for schools to have so we so our kids can be better equipped to understand other cultures because when we all understand people we build we build up these walls really under these laws because we don't want to be uncomfortable and things that we don't understand so our job as human beings our inabilities on comfort levels for other people to understand their culture respect their culture maybe we don't disagree with it but we must respect them so we can have a better society I think that's what my foundation is about push into these barriers because it's a difference between philanthropy and activism well entropy me it's things that happens to all of us because we're human beings you know cancer happens to a lot of us because we're human beings you know death happens too it's because of him opinions the activism in humanitarian work it's things that happen to us because of the color of our skin because of the gender that we are because of our choices as a male or female those things or things that we must be able to be at the forefront of his athletes and for foreigners community leaders I think for me that's what my foundation is about so we do a lot of work in youth prisons and things like that and working with underprivileged people and kids you know we do we do a lot of summits for young women work around sexual assault and how do they become powerful women because you know as a as a father of daughters how do I show my daughter's that I'm I am committed to their plight as young women how I'm committed to showing and showing them that I support things that are happening around them not just by talking to talk but also by walking the walk so how do I create programs around things that are happening to them and things that are happening around society and that's my main focus is you know being leaving the world a better place then then I got it and you and you definitely are Michael I mean it's so inspiring I mean you inspire me didn't you know I want to do stuff like that to to really help impact you know society and the world now a lot of people don't know that you are a New York Times bestselling author and your book things that make white people uncomfortable yeah I absolutely love that title I have the book I'm about halfway through the book right now your brother Martellus wrote the foreword it's amazing can you can you tell everyone what it's about what compelled you to write it well the book is just a play on words but it's also about making and not just make it like feel uncomfortable but making us all uncomfortable yeah I think so things that we like to say they've been uncomfortable with but we've been comfortable with whether sexual assualt things that are happening around us police brutality different things that we say we're uncomfortable with but they haven't changed because we're comfortable yeah so my book is about breaking down those barriers of our comfort level and making us uncomfortable to making changes in our society whether it's the women's issues and the women's March police brutality like I said the issues that have happened in n-c-double-a things that happened with the PTSD and concussions those things are things that I talk about in the book and talk about my own life and how to move forward and how do we make an impact in our society through athletics and not just as individual but it's collectively and I think that's what the book is really about which is breaking down these different barriers and figuring out you know my thought process on them the things that I believe in and and I've done a lot of work I've been to Indian reservations I've been to all kinds of places around the world Haiti all these different things Africa all these different things that I see from the water issues to you know just things that are happening in humanity and you wonder how can I you know have a voice and use my voice and prepare their voice and let them more and and work with the things that are happening and speak to the people who are listening and let them know that you know we have a voice our children's have voice our children have voices our wives have voices we have our voices as people we have voices as a community and what they're continuously you know push the issues that are happening around us because if we don't they're continuously happen it's not two individuals come together and they say this is not going to happen anymore it's not - those things happen that we move forward in society and I think me that's what I really focus on in the book is talking about these things and showing that you know things are happening around us and we have to be able to pay attention to them we have to be bubbling and see the world for things that are happening Michael I am I am so happy that you wrote that book and I mean as I'm reading it I'm you remind you're reminding me of like a Martin Luther King actually I mean it's it's like that I mean the insights that you have it's it's actually I mean it's so amazing yeah I just like you know more Luther King and all these guys and who are these different people who came to earth and you wonder like why do they come to earth and why are they here - why they're so brave you know why they are so brave to really put themselves out there to really want to see things change and I'm not not at the king but at the same time I love his contribution to society and I love all the contributions to people that are making things right now know Brock Obama all these different people are doing things and who are really powerful in the way that they see community and the way that they see things changing there's so many people who here in Hawaii we're trying to make changes with full education all these different things that we should have as human beings we should have equal education we should have a tradition in our school you know I'm saying these are things that we we should have as human beings and I think people around us that are keep fighting for those just you just look up to him and you just you just say bravo because a lot of people aren't willing to you know go beyond themselves they're really selfish in you wonder how these people become so selfless and there's a lot of people out there who are like that I gotta say Bravo to you I mean Michael you definitely go beyond the lines and I want to thank you for being on the show today and really sharing all those insights I mean it's amazing thank you for an extraordinary person you're very inspiring but thank you so much for being here thank you so much man appreciate you guys and thank you for watching beyond the lines on think tech Hawaii and the special thank you to my clothing sponsor Iolani incorporated for more information please visit my web site rusty Komori comm and my book is available on

Rack Stitch | How to Crochet
[Music] hello everyone i'm sarah of ridge textures crochet and welcome today we are going to learn how to crochet the rack stitch which is a stitch that you can see here in front of you and this is a fairly fun stitch to work it's made up of three different sizes or types of shell stitches and it's interesting to look at it's pretty and it's lacy as well and it's the same on both sides i'd love to hear how you would use this stitch in in the comments of this video today for this tutorial i'm going to be using a five millimeter crochet hook as well as a little bit of the paint box cotton iran yarns and you can find links to both of these items in the description of this video also in the description you will find a link to the free written and photo tutorial for the rack stitch and it can be found on my blog at rich textures crochet dot com so thank you so much for joining me while you're here feel free to take a look around there are many other stitch tutorials as well as free crochet patterns our tutorial today is worked in rows so you're going to start by making a slip knot and then by working a foundation chain and your foundation chain needs to be a multiple of seven stitches plus four so today i'm going to chain a total of 25 stitches there's ten twenty and 25 once you have your foundation chain the desired length you're going to begin row one by working one double crochet into the fourth chain from your hook so count in one two three four into that fourth chain work one double crochet stitch you're then going to skip the next two chains and work three double

Excursions Ep. 192: Ernst Cassirer on Fascism and National Socialism
welcome to George h6 Curzon's into libertarian thought a production of libertarianism.org and the cato institute ernst Kosir on fascism and national socialism the philosopher and historian Ernst kasir was born in 1874 into a family of Polish Jews after studying at various German universities he went on to write numerous important works on science philosophy and history including his magnum opus the philosophy of symbolic forms in three volumes and the philosophy of the Enlightenment which remains one of the best overviews of Enlightenment thought ever written after being introduced to the ideas of Immanuel Kant by the brilliant sociologist Georg Simmel kassir went on to become a defender of the neo-kantian ism of the Marburg school when Hitler came to power in Germany in 1933 kassir vacated his teaching position at the University of Hamburg and moved to Sweden later fearing that Jews would be unsafe in that country he moved to England and taught at Oxford for two years then beginning in 1941 kassir taught at Yale and lastly at Columbia University New York City until his death in 1945 kassir was a classic liberal in the German tradition of Conte Goethe and Wilhelm von Humboldt in contrast to English liberalism and its stress on economic freedom and politics German liberals focused more on the cultural aspects and benefits of a free society individuality moral autonomy and cultural diversity were dominant and reoccurring themes in German liberalism until his last work the myth of the state cassia wrote very little on political subjects he began writing this book in 1944 after being commissioned by Fortune magazine to write an article on National Socialism or not see ISM kasir expanded this article into a book finishing it in 1945 just days before his death in April of that year as Edward Skidelsky said of the myth of the state the origins of Nazism are sought not in the barracks and beer cellars of Munich and Vienna but in the works of Machiavelli Hegel Carlisle and Arthur do go be no I shall not discuss the intellectual antecedents of National Socialism until my next essay here I shall focus on cashiers application of his theory of mythological thinking to modern totalitarianism kassir had a keen interest in the natural and social role of myths indeed the second volume of the philosophy of symbolic forms is titled mythical thought I shall quote liberally from the final chapter of the myth of the state the technique of the modern political myths in this summary of cashiers views as we shall see cashiers ideas not only apply to fascism or to Nazism but more broadly to totalitarian governments in general according to cashier after World War one Germany's whole social and economic system was threatened with a complete collapse this was the natural soil upon which the political myths could grow up and in which they found ample nourishment mythological thinking reaches its full force when man has to face an unusual and dangerous situation this is as true in modern civilizations and advanced stages of man's political life as it was in earlier more primitive societies in politics we are always living on volcanic soil we must be prepared for abrupt convulsions and eruptions in all critical moments in man's social life the rational forces that resist the rise of the old mythical conceptions are no longer sure of themselves in these moments the time for myth has come again for myth has not been really vanquished and subjugated it is always they're lurking in the dark and awaiting its hour and opportunity the hour comes as soon as the other binding forces of man's social life for one reason or another lose their strength and are no longer able to combat the demonic mythical powers mythological thinking according to cassia is the personification of collective wishes and when this collective desire reaches a fever pitch and when rational solutions appear hopeless people typically look for a solution in the form of a strong political leader with mystical power and authority whose will is supreme law but though civilized man shares the same violent passions as members of a savage tribe and is liable to yield to the same irrational impulses civilized man cannot entirely forget the demand of rationality in order to believe he must find some reasons for his belief he must form a theory and this theory at least is not primitive it is on the contrary highly sophisticated in contrast to the myths generated spontaneously in primitive communities modern political myths are made according to plan the new political myths do not grow up freely they are not wild fruits of an exuberant imagination they are artificial things fabricated by very skillful and cunning artisans it has been reserved for the 20th century our own great technical age to develop a new technique of myth henceforth myths can be manufactured in the same sense and according to the same methods as any other modern weapon has machine guns or airplanes that is a new thing and a thing of crucial importance it has changed the whole form of our social life it was in 1933 that the political world began to worry some what about Germany's rearmament and it's possible international repercussions as a matter of fact this rearmament had begun many years before but had passed almost unnoticed the real rearmament began with the origin and rise of the political myths the later military rearmament was only an accessory after the fact the fact was an accomplished fact long before the military rearmament was only the necessary consequence of the mental rearmament brought about by the political myths the first step in the creation of modern political myths has been to change the function of language language may be used either to convey objective information which is its semantic function or it may be used to evoke strong emotions with the intention of controlling human behavior the latter which kassir called the magical function of language bears an eerie resemblance to what we now call politically correct language additionally under totalitarian governments in which there is no private sphere independent of political life the whole life of man is suddenly inundated by a high tide of new rituals they are as regular as rigorous and inexorable as those rituals that we find in primitive societies to neglect the performance of these rituals is far more than a sin of omission it is a crime against the majesty of the leader and the totalitarian state the Nazi salutes Sieg Heil hail to victory and Heil Hitler Heil Hitler along with the rituals that accompanied the mass meetings of the Nazi Party are probably what costs here had in mind here political rituals argued Kosir Lola sleep all our active forces are power of judgment and critical discernment and take away our feeling of personality and individual responsibility moreover when a society is inundated with rituals we typically find collective responsibility in place of individual responsibility Rousseau was wrong when he depicted man in a primitive state of nature as free and unconstrained in fact his behavior was severely constrained by rituals and his responsibility to his clan or other group we might hope that modern man has transcended these constraints but that is not the case when exposed to the same forces he can easily be thrown back to a state of complete acquiescence he no longer questions his environment he accepts it as a matter of course here are men in Germany men of education and intelligence honest and upright men who suddenly give up the highest human privilege they have ceased to be free and personal agents performing the same prescribed rites they begin to feel to think and to speak in the same way their gestures are lively and violent yet this is but an artificial a sham life in fact they are moved by an external force they act like marionettes in a puppet show and they did not even know that the strings of this show and of a man's whole individual and social life are henceforward pulled by the political leaders unlike the attempts of traditional governments to compel or to prohibit certain types of actions modern totalitarian governments attempted to control how men think by inculcating political myths these political myths acted in the same way as a serpent that tried to paralyze its victims before attacking them men fell victims to them without any serious resistance they were vanquished and subdued before they had realized what actually happened modern totalitarian states suppress and destroy the very sense of freedom but at the same time they relieve men from all personal responsibilities kassir continued our modern politicians know very well that great masses are much more easily moved by the force of imagination than by sheer physical force and they have made ample use of this knowledge the politician becomes a sort of public fortune-teller prophecy is an essential element in the new technique of rulership the most improbable or even impossible promises are made the Millennium is predicted over and over again as cos you saw the matter Nazi ideology was not unnatural or inevitable outgrowth of German culture which had a long and distinguished tradition of liberalism this is not to say that kassir was oblivious to the irrationalism and statism preached by various German philosophers far from it as he said about Hegel but it was the tragic fate of Hegel that he unconsciously Unchained the most irrational powers that have ever appeared in man's social and political life no other philosophical system has done so much for the preparation of fascism and imperialism as Hegel's doctrine of the state this divine idea as it exists on earth in spite of this however kassir maintained that Nazi ideology was a regression to a mythological or pre rational way of thinking Hegel and other status philosophers did not bring about Nazism directly rather their ideas had a corrosive effect that prevented rational thinking about individual rights and politics from regaining the ground it had lost this has been excursions into libertarian thought a production

Atong Literacy Ideas 1
Mariama tomorrow trauma and otech need o2 sir Tunku me gamma now found a second row atom literacy literacy Mittleman Thomas Academy at Appleman literacy among women at Uncle took some bounder a bloomin raka the commando choice English put some balcony net so I will continue in English as I said I want to talk a little bit about literacy at daum literacy and in order to write your own language you need to have an idea about the structure of your own language you need to have an idea about how the language functions and I have written a grammar about that which is very difficult to read if you are not an academic linguist so people have asked me why don't you write something more easy like a primer that is not a simple thing to do it takes an enormous amount of time to write stuff like that and I am working on it but in the meantime I think that I cannot do something that is very important for a tone literacy I am NOT a native speaker of at all unfortunately and I think that in order for a literacy project to be successful it is necessary for the a tone people to be able to speak about their own language and the structure of their own language in their own language so for example when you want to write a tone and you need knowledge of the structure of the language it is important to know about things like analytics suffixes phrases and clauses now these are all difficult technical linguistic terms but just talking about your language in everyday language is not possible there need to be specific words to talk about that now I remember that when I learned to write my own language when I was in primary school we were taught specific technical terms linguistic terms to talk about my own language which is Dutch by the way so I think that this awareness of speaking about of the structure of your own language and this speaking about your own language has to start in primary school in your own language with the necessary technical terms so therefore it is necessary that these things like phrase and critic suffix and clause just to point out a few are translated into a dog and not not only those also when you want to talk about writing your own language you need to have words for things like full stop or periods comma colon quotation marks a question mark exclamation marks sentence those kind of words they are they're all useful and you can of course take the English words to talk about those things but then they will always remain foreign concepts and I think in order for native speakers to take control over their own language development over their own literacy development these technical terms should be translated into Adam now this is something that I can unfortunately no do I am NOT a native speaker of at dawn as I said before and I think it is necessary in this case that don't people sit down and think about this how they want to do that which words to use and then start thinking about how to use the material that is available to create lessons for children that are relevant for literacy now of course I'm very happy to help from a distance I don't know when I will be able to travel to India again I think that there is a lot of material to do to make primers of course if if you want the material I can always send it to you by email and yeah I have some or a lot of ideas of what needs to happen and I will talk about those ideas in future videos for now this is all I want to say that talking about your own language in your own language is important to take control of developing literacy the human Yama monks are born a named Luke Amanda young Jenny well with Helena arrow by Yamaha bonacic WA Danton the yellow on me video al-aini and uma Thurman long to me idea turnout me comment ran out unless I Bonet yeah well Nam at ambassador

The Sabbath teaching
slow as we just mentioned the true God been good Bible say God is the good the giver of good and perfect gifts so it's more way you can pray and ask and we see dad however let us not fool ourselves because Satan sits there and he pays on the words that you speak the Holy One said the prince of this world cometh that's been released into this world it has nothing in me so let me understand because if Satan can't play on words if Satan can enter into as he did with us a car he entered into it's a car gave mr. car I thought betrayed Jesus and in left he comes in a season that's why he does with us he'll make you say things do things and it was the first thing you say when someone asks you why did you do that I don't know not sure because that thought that Satan put there it's gone now so we have to be careful my wife tells me all the time be careful about what you put into the air because it can come back in a negative form which is true because we are a spirit and we have the ability to talk life talk death we do we have that ability John 7 and 6 the Holy One said we were and we are as gods with a lil G not a big G so you're understanding what I'd have the ability I had to affect people by my you have some people have you ever had seen some how you say something and they cry it's because your words touch their emotions or have you I'm sure we all have said something and then seen the anger in people from the results of what we said so here our words are mighty and strong and they have a purpose talk speak negative receive negative results talk strong positive words encourage and uplift others it's what I do so if we're able to encourage and uplift people that's what our charge should be always Bible says be slow to speak quick to listen and slow to respond wonder why that is so give yourself time to gather your thoughts and not just shoot from the hip say something and the first thing you want to say I didn't mean it yes you did you meant every word that you said you may not have wanted to broadcast to so boldly but yeah you meant it cuz you wouldn't say that's why I gotta say be slow to speak slow to anger but once you get angry guarantee we'll say things and do things that are hurtful harmful not only to us but to the person who is distributing that anger amongst others all you gotta do is take a look at all the pain that has occurred over the last two months three months not only here in America but worldwide how is it someone can say I'm standing for this world and this world tells me that I should go to kill all you morons that have nothing to do with the world and then go that's anger you know hey there's a little different than anger hate will make you distance yourself from others because of the way they look because of the way they talked and sometime because of the way they act but anger anger make you do things to others simply because fine line between anger hey we don't want to have anger anger is something that we do not want to display that's why God gives us that ability to quickly listen listen to what's being said she ought to respond to what's being said and then slow to anger and it's hard to do trust in the lake of why somebody is doing this running a mouth oh you want to do it put your fist in it shut them up but everyone has a right to their opinion and they do I mean some people are better off not saying what they feel or think because they don't know how to present it so they present in a very nasty negative way which causes a reproach some get violent some reproach in the same verbal assault that they just received then the ones that can control themselves they were slow to anger a quick to respond and we don't care we go we don't say what we want to say the way we want to say it to who we want to say

:TERMS: TANGIBLE-CON-TRACT OR: VOID-TANGIBLE-CON-TRACT, PART-~2.
[Music] do as i've been mentioning in some of my more recent videos i have developed a more accurate and efficient method of determining whether a word is tangible contract or non-tangible contract in relation to syntaxing because as you know and as if you if you've watched my youtube channels and you're familiar with correct set and structure communication parsing syntax grammar syntax mechanics that tangible contract words are either going to be verbs adjectives or pronouns and non-tangible contract words are going to be adverbs verbs or pronouns or to put it in a negative conditional state tangible contract words will not be adverbs and non-tangible contract words will not be adjectives and this really narrows down the syntax mechanics and gives the learner closure on an efficient method and how to do this and so what i've done along with my friend brother and mentor colin raven hyphen farhad hyphen tahiti colon after rin has developed this method using parsei so that you can know without a shadow of a doubt whether a word is tangible contract or non-tangible contrast and we're going to give you a very simple example right here he shall run now in the past i may have syntaxed it like this dpv means dangling participle however with this new and laser-like pinpoint accuracy mechanic of finding out whether a word is tangible contract or non-tangible contract this is not correct there's no closure to what this is by the way if anyone out there can tell me what their closure of shall as an adverb in the future tense email me at jasonmatthewg17 gmail.com and we can set up a meeting and you can share those closures with me because as it stands with my study and also as a language tutor grammar tutor since february of 2018 this is not the case and i'm going to explain it to you in the next section of the video and then i'm going to come back to the dry erase board and show you using these mechanics these accurate dependable reliable mechanics how the correct way to syntax this sentence would be so here we are at the beginning of our syntax and parsee journey for the sentence he shall run so what would we do what we would do to determine the tangibility and non-tangibility of those words is to look them up one at a time and because the most efficient way an accurate way to syntax is to go backwards we will start with the word run look it up the etymologyonline.com and find out where it comes from so we see it comes from run in iron in to run flow run together all come from the proto-indo-european form of the root rei which means to run to flow of streams from the 1200s machinery be in charge of ryan you're floating so we can basically validate and certify that run means to flow uh in a tangible sense we have a contract with what flowing is therefore we have a tangible contract with what running is how about shal let's look that up i owe he owes oh oh middle dutch sullen proto-germanic scowl sullen to o obligation guilt from obligation also comes from should well the form of it is should which means guilty so just for kicks let's go here past tense of c original notion of obligation so again okay so should and shall the nativity mean in grammar and language obligation so we have a tangible contract with what obligation is therefore shall is tangible contract now let's look up he he is a pronoun obviously so third person proto-germanic high he from proto-indo-european variant root of code this here this hither i don't really see a tangible contract with what this is because number one if you look at it on the surface when you look at it in google the personal pronoun changes its form to indicate a person number gender in case so as i say in the video that i'll leave a link to in the upper starboard side corner of your screen here the pronoun can represent anything in grammar okay it's represents indicative of anything so you he she it we there's no tangible contract with what that is now if we say jason shall run now we have a tangible contract with what a jason is but we don't have a tangible contract with what a he is this here those words also have this same type of mechanic behind them in that there's no closure as to what that is so he is non-tangible so to review we have run as tangible shall as tangible and he as non-tangible now that we have closure on the tangibility and non-tangibility contracts of these words let's start at the end run is a tangible contract pronoun being colored by shao which is a tangible contract adjective in the future tense which is being modified by the adverb he now the reason why he is an adverb and non-tangible contract to give you a little more closure on this is because what is an adverb an adverb is an abstract condition of state it's a concept there's no tangibility to it it's pure modification i'll leave a link to a video right here that will give you closure on that as well so therefore it's either going to be a modifier or it's going to be a verb being modified by something or it's going to be a pronoun standing by itself in this case it's an adverb which is modifying an adjective adverbs modify adjectives adverbs modify verbs adjectives modify and color pronouns pronouns may stand by themselves verbs are only modified by adverbs of course you're more than welcome to look at my youtube channel as i always say in the comments fields any question that you have you will be able to answer it if you would just spend take the time to study the videos i have taken the time to create these videos it's contingent upon you as the viewer to study them that's your investment i've already made my investment for the betterment of my fellow mankind and also you may apply if you wish for my confidential correct grammar workshops where you know there's nothing in the workshop that's secret or anything like that it's just people go to the workshops if they qualify to have a one-on-one interaction with me so that i can answer their questions on the spot and give them those closures write that in there anyways the venue for that is jason matthew g17 at gmail.com which is a confidential email contract venue of which i am the venue commander and master thank you very much for watching i'll be making uh i hope to make some more videos like this maybe getting a little more complicated as we as we roll along thank you

[Music] so it's cloak Tornadus helmet cleaver they might just lose to Terra water whoa whoa whoa all right there's to you I don't want to go hard to you I don't want to go hard into my guy yet because I would just get annihilated um I also don't want to get rid of this thing because late game aquajet's really good let's just go scream tail here to protect yeah cause Heat Wave blue and storm would just wreck me okay see what the terror is watch it's gonna be sunny day Heatwave they're a ghost okay sick so my hope is that they just Bleak when storm and don't get the speed drop heat wave yeah they blink-1 stormed and that's scarf all right don't speed drop me you miss me that'd be really cool actually I'd be so happy if you could just miss me bro let's go all right so with that revealed um I can't disable I can't disable but I can do a ton of damage here and I want to get rid of tornadoes as soon as possible the reason I can't disable is because I'm gonna get taunted but what I can do instead the big brain play get ready taunt do I do that I could I could taunt hear and protect but I think I get much less value out of that than just getting uh getting rid of to you foreign yeah because I'm gonna get taunted anyways I could have gone for taunt protect but like in the amount of time it would take me to do disable like I wouldn't have gotten much value out of that on top of that you know it's a ghost type now I can just switch so my main part is getting rid of chew you which it looks like I should be able to do actually yeah um as soon as I get rid of chi U they just lose all right and you miss one of these he also hasn't tailwinded yet can you miss nope he gets both that's fine so while they can switch Tara water just seems to go in and I still have Aqua Jet which is really big they're getting a phone call I'm busy father oh wait I just had an idea I just had an idea that's a little scary [Music] I think my play here is tarot water and I actually double attacked the Tornadus in case the AquaJet doesn't do it I think that's how I win actually air water outplay there's no way AquaJet doesn't kale with the band right I have to foul playing guess in case I get taunted in case I get taunted I have to Foul Play nice I do get that KO I get a crit I don't know how much that mattered because I'm banded um now I kind of wish I leave suited it it would have been better in the long run unless they miss got him let's kill skill based game Sorry I hate I hate to break it too skill based game this KO awesome I also have a lot of spitf I might have lived that because it's a spread movie depends on how bulky it depends on how much special attack investment they have but if they have flutter Main in the back oh they have Chien pow they just lose yeah they never won that on puff Aqua Jet whoops nice it's all a little game there it's called Little game but yeah um I think as soon as I got rid of the chi U it was basically over all right hopefully we'll get a reggae game and I want to use the muck man I really want to use the muck okay so my brain is telling me Marcos you should really just bring the watch in here because it's better into everything but my body is telling me to use the muck so we're gonna use the muck um I can lead off with the same guys but not that my body is telling me to use muck man power of alchemy muck now don't get me wrong we can lose this immediately but it'd be really cool if we didn't right wouldn't that be cool guys wouldn't that be poggers I think that'd be poggers that'd be absolutely poggers my body's telling me to use muck man all right have a nice one thanks for stopping by the Stream okay so this is how they're gonna lead if this is how they're gonna lead I actually get a lot of value out of just targeting this thing down I actually don't care if they get up trick room Eli I think I'd rather just get rid of this as soon as possible shoot a decent amount one who all right they dropped to the next one they also might drop to a psychic who knows a trick room yep nice they should also volt switch here at least that's what I would do um I'm gonna go ahead and get in Scream tail and I'm gonna go for the psychic [Music] okay let's see if they go for the volt switch for the wild charge I hope it's wild charge hold switch nice I'm gonna get a little bit of damage off on this uh ursuluna [Music] and I can actually play pretty insane board positioning here I'm not gonna I'm not gonna lie I can do some pretty insane board positioning here all right gonna get a little bit of damage here a little bit of damage let's put F drop no spit up drop um they do get the burn immediately which is kind of annoying kind of annoying what I'm in a parish song here I think I protect no I need to trap it in so assuming that screamtail goes down I perish song and then I go urshifu or actually I go muck technically and make sure I lose my mon but muck's better versus everything else in the end game um I'm gonna go muck I'm gonna assume muck goes down to like earthquake so yeah so my play here a little bit dubious you know we're gonna go for the parish song I'm gonna get in the muck assuming they want an earthquake here as long as scream tail can somehow tank this we're good if they want a facade next to neck and terrifying all right they're gonna facade I do not live that because it is the move that you're not supposed to live a skill swap away power of alchemy nope you know what I'll take it thanks buddy thanks buddy that that helped a lot actually that actually helped a ton man all right check this out so I I can practically guarantee you that here they want to go for a lunar blessing because they don't get anything out outside of that turn so what I can actually do is fake out and knock off and if I get rid of this flame orb they never get burned again which severely decreases their damage output all right lunar blessing skill swap you know what sure of alchemy awesome love it love it all right how many tears left to trick room yeah if they lunar blessing they just lose that man so what I can actually do here is protect and I'm gonna get a little bold here I just double protect it's a little bold of me go for this knockoff play but I am nothing if not the boldest the boldest you like forget that you don't have earthquake or forget that you don't have levitate an earthquake all right we're gonna lose our muck [Music] but that's fine there's a new levitator in town guys there's a new levitator in town they're no longer burned I can live with that as a matter of fact I'm quite happy with that so I'm gonna do here is go for the taunt on speaker Celia and I'm gonna lock surging strikes because Bandit surgeon strikes should chaos in this range if they're mental herb next turn I can just try to taunt again it'll be fun have I Tara watered yet oh I didn't tear yet oh I hope I don't get dazzling lived here because it would have been really done with me not to tear a water cool they're gonna head over the ursuluna if they're not mental herb I think I just straight up win it doesn't gleam I'm gonna eat that up like Reese's Puffs because of how special defensive I am because I'm a special guy all right mental herb probably yep we're gonna repeat that turn we're gonna run that back I also think I'm guaranteed a KO versus Iron hands if it comes out there's Goodra oh okay I have to taunt them [Music] hopefully they don't protect if they don't protect this is still doable with spit up drops [Music] one it does like nothing ooh all right luckily it's a two shot like a pretty clean two shot too I actually think we're in a decent spot here all right it comes down to getting uh spit up drops oh they tried to shelter but nothing can shelter them from the harsh reality that I am a I am a silly goofy guy let's get rid of this uh Cresselia and like I said it's all about these spin-off drops now would a shelter do it's iron defense bud but like you know cool why would you shelter in front of a talent user because it only has body press I can guarantee you that thank you I guess they could also have heavy Slim all right spit up drop please check it out oh they have heavy slam too okay ooh things are not looking good Obamas so I might be able to win via timer if I like play my cards very carefully [Music] but also there are 10 minutes left in the game I'm gonna go for protect here because there's no reason not to I'm gonna go for surging strikes into you if it get faked out so be it yep should be able to eat a heavy slam and a body press who just shakes off bataunt cool our next play is very straightforward after taunt you again after surging strikes Actually I don't even think they're gonna iron defense I don't think they're gonna iron defense let's just go for this damage it wouldn't make sense to iron defense here also if they're saps if we still have a chance but I'm pretty sure they're gonna be the good the good um ability all right if they're sap sipper there's still a shot every time I face one of these things it's sap sipper when I need it to be um shell armor and it's shell armor when I need it to be sap sipper let's just hope I finally got lucky [Music] all right let's find out nope they are shell armor that's game unless for some reason they tried to have you slam foreign what if they tear into a fire type right now we just auto win imagine you're so annoying to be fair we would have been fine if I didn't insist on trying to bring the muck to this game if we're being real we would have been fine I was just I was too like oh I want to bring muck to this game but now we're good they're taking a minute to click this move what if they timed out and they like iron defense here yeah LeBron James plus wochan would have just annihilated this whole team all right good game so I'll be honest you know that's the last game we're gonna play tonight but four four one is not a bad record I think this is a pretty solid team freestyle team Especially since one of those wins was versus a Kyogre so you didn't see that you know check out the previous vid but uh yeah that's gonna be it for tonight

#7 How to turn TV Appearances Into Ticket Sales
hello I'm Tom Britain I'm a theater performer here in Chicago with the danger circus and on behalf of well attended calm / blog an answer a question this time it is what do you do with press clippings and why doesn't press appearances sell tickets you went on TV in the morning show a lot of people you think saw it there the number one morning show in your community and not a single ticket was sold that's not you that's the modern landscape now I'm in my mid 40s I grew up in an era where if you did an appearance on Johnny Carson's The Tonight Show now Jimmy Fallon's The Tonight Show but when Johnny Carson was heading out things this is like the 60s through the 90s I believe but all of my youth you went on The Tonight Show you killed you worked for ten years that was it ten years in drew carey's casey went on The Tonight Show did a good set sat on the couch as a big deal of Johnny called you over to the couch you know you'd really killed your stand-up set sat on the couch and he got a sitcom the Vieux Carre show and now he's on the price is right made his career and it could do that doesn't happen anymore I'll give you a couple of examples I've heard from popular culture one is from Louis CK Louie CK storing agent is how I heard this louis ck's touring agent has often said on a few podcast interviews etc at parties at Louis CK one on the David Letterman Show now that's now I think said somebody show David Letterman's big deal really seek a big deal and killed killed and the next day sold 40 40 40 tickets and never again there was no like selling a few more the next week or the next week know even in reruns didn't tell any more tickets 40 that's what happens the exception I've heard this is Howard Stern allegedly and I just heard this in the ether to go on Howard Stern you can sell tickets to broadway 125 hundred fifty bucks each I don't know why I don't know why it how we're different than everyone else would apparently Stern is special expect that though because you're not Louis CK and you're not going on David Letterman so cut that number down you're like me you're mr. nobody the fire-eater and you're going on i'm in chicago it's a major market but did you see me no you didn't you had no idea was on WGN and wc I you and on the same week and make it out to you because I'm mr. nobody and there's smaller TV shows even in a major market so if I'm mr. nobody out in Duluth cut that down even more which mean you're going to sell negative two tickets your parents on television will cost you two sales same thing with press write-ups the other angular want to share with you was this is from all gunplay Louis black Louis black we don't know him he's a guy who's feeling the Daily Show very funny comedian very successful comedian and playwright actually in his previous life Louis black is checking into a hotel this is a story heard from him again on another podcast he's checking into a hotel and the young lady at the front desk like Kansas City Missouri Adam not a small podunk town but a place where Louis blanket you know so what she does is she looks up and goes oh my god Louis black what are you doing here as he's checking in you have to imagine his kind of gruff voice I can't do his style but right next to her is a magazine like one of the local rags and his face is on the cover of the magazine it's sitting right next to her for I don't know how many hours she didn't even look down to go all Lewis Black is coming to town that's all right there's Louis black and I know why you're here no it didn't penetrate all the visual noise didn't make a difference to her so how do you penetrate that here's how I think it works think of your Facebook page your Instagram page or your Twitter like a TV station right so you have to fill from when you start programming at 6am and you stop programming at about 11pm and then you do infomercials all night so you're a local television station so what's on at 9am your killer morning show it's two ladies drinking coffee and chat man we got Matthew McConaughey here he's got a new movie around noon you're running Western reruns something it for cheap around for the afternoon here comes your Oprah your Ellen your Rosie O'Donnell your Jerry Springer I know these must be sort of cancelled I don't watch television that often I'm not keeping up on netflix everything then you get into the 5 p.m. news to go I'm saying then the friends come on at seven or whatever Breaking Bad or web that's how you program think of your Facebook feed is that so when I went on these morning news channels they didn't sell a damn ticket they didn't even come close to selling a damn ticket they're people that are watching TV our TV watching people not theater-going people they don't gather naturally they aren't that type so I'm on it'll be begging people who work in the mines to come see my show at noon then working in the mines at noon that's what those folks do they want the day off don't waste your time take that and put it into your Facebook feed the YouTube clip or however you get it you can ask them for a copy but almost all them now put it on youtube or their station has a terrible terrible website they're putting it on put that clip on your facebook feed it legitimizes you that's what it does so now your fans your audience you've been building see you on you can say Ellen you're big time enough to go on l and you may not have beyond the problems I'm having but you go on Ellen or your local version of Ellen may be popular TV program then you drop it in your feet and your mom and your aunt Rhoda go oh look at that he's doing it more importantly all your fans go oh you know what I've been thinking about coming to see a show I'll buy a ticket I never sell tickets until I put their clip on my feed and talk about it write a blog post put it on your website get it into google so my search so and so plus fire-eater or so and so plus magician they get you this is how you turn your channel into a sales channel and I think it's the only way nowadays to make a press clipping work on behalf of well attended calm / blog and the danger circus my name is Tom Britain I hope you found this informative if you have further questions you always can contact me my phone numbers on my website I'm not a big deal thanks

FCL PROJECT: LACK OF TEXTBOOKS AT MUM'S SECONDARY .
curtains to the viewer we are mom secondary school the problem that are facing as a school is lack of textbooks not every Lena in our school has their own textbook for each and every subject a textbook is often shared in pairs or by a group of three to four lanes this presentation we're taking you through the initiative we have come up with as teachers as a solution to the problem we're facing basic education is one of the constitutional rights in South Africa thus Evelina has the right to basic and quality education however numerous schools in rural areas are of an insured of textbooks forcing the learners to share in pairs and sometimes in groups rotation of a textbook within a group may delay ones progress as they may have to study at the time not convenient for them as the book has to be passed to the next phase education is one of the basic needs for human development and to escape from poverty this is supported by Siva Kumar and Savannah Ingham on their writing of 2010 it is important for the development of the state and a successful nation according to Herman and Eden the government should use the national resources to manage the education the education should be of quality in order to have quality education there must be a quality assurance which can be achieved if the educators are properly trained and have the resources to spread the quality education the resources include textbooks and other study materials it has been experienced several times and it is well known that schools in rural areas of South Africa are faced with late delivery of learning and teaching materials including textbooks and infrastructure such as tables and chairs on the 11th of January 2017 in Poliquin News 24 reported that desperate educators at empower schools are recycling stationery from 2016 and sharing textbooks among peppers after the Education Department once again failed to deliver learning materials later on the 27th it was reported in Pollock only that the South African Democratic Teachers Union sat you in the Pope has given the Education Department three weeks to resolve issues surrounding blaming materials for both papers and teachers or it says it will force schools to toes we therefore recommended and came with a solution to our school that we should make copies to ensure that every and I can have their own copy copying and printing may be of major challenge as proper equipment may have to be purchased and maintained papers and ink cartridges will be needed every day to ensure that the copies are colored and of a high quality the budget for the school is not enough as there are some other activities such as spot and coral trips to be covered therefore to raise funds to ensure that the study materials are in place for Elena's on Fridays learners will weigh casual clothes at a payable amount of fire friends each and those who decide not to well pay ten rounds each this is exceptional for the Liana's identified as disadvantaged and may be allowed to contribute the little they can the second solution in place is to make a vegetable garden in school which was the vegitables to the community members at an affordable price accounting of attention because to ensure that principles such as ethical behavior transparency and accountability are attractive it is a logical system it's an accurate selection and recording of financial information and transactions as well as the combination analysis interpretation and communication of financial statements and managerial what for use by dentists to practice the the project is centered around a country subject because it involves analyzing recording and management of financial information in order to obtain project maximum project satisfaction financial planning preparing the financial plan which project revenues expenditures and financing needs over a given period how do we get this funding every Friday all learners are required to a casual and they will all contribute 5 grams the schoolís man hundred learners learners who are identified as being extremely poor are exempted from pay there are 50 learners who are exempted from paying the casual day heal participation in this casual day is compulsory for all Emma's unless if the ulema or the parent provide food that he or she cannot participate in school in school casualty due to religious beliefs illnesses etc in such learner's who will not be wearing cages on Friday will patient and the program will also receive funding from local businesses and donation the school will also receive income from selling food and vegetables produced in the garden in the distribution of coffee 20% of the profit will be used to purchase the twenty machines and if another 20 percent of the profit will be used to purchase Clinton expenditures such as in Antigua forty percent of the profit will be used to purchase furniture only percent of the profit will be used to maintain the garden why we distribute this income this way is that lemmas have chatot of textbook therefore the patches of printers should be able to produce cost-effective high quality shall run color printing in order to print eggs mix in the fastest possible timeframe the school like furniture and lemmas are forced to write on chairs and others on their knees it is imperative for us to maintain the garden because we'll be selling fruit and vegetable and therefore receiving income income and expenditures we estimate that when learners are paying five front each and every Friday in a quarter we'll make around for the 2,500 plans our expenses also we estimate that it will be around the nine thousand rand per quarter the remaining profit will be kept in the industry so that it will maintain the project my olessa business teacher is to come up with SWOT analysis of the project our strength is that we have leadership and management skills research and development capabilities social media skills and able to use social media to advantage by attracting people making them away about our cabinet we produce high quality food in our garden our weaknesses is that the community is poor and will be difficult to cut up and the opportunities that we go around the community as in business to help with the funds people in the community have to go far to get vegetables and food this will be our advantage because when we operate our cadnams good we will receive support from the community and able to raise enough funds the threat is that learners will have a casual day every Friday and will pay five rent some parents might think the school is spiraling out of control and not focusing on studies and teaching we produce high quality vegetables and foods and some people might not like our pricing because I'm businesses produce quantity and not quality and the prices are very low so it will be a threat to what we are hoping to achieve geography is one of the subjects known of linking human interactions with the environment the ends of geography include ensuring that learners are guided towards developing the following knowledge skills and attitudes one describing and explaining the dynamic interrelationship between the physical and human worlds creating awareness and sensitivity to inequality in the world from Social Sciences greed 90 geographically 12 lenez are taught of the importance of resources such as water and soil my duties involve ensuring that other teachers of the same subject are involved in the elena's take part in ensuring that the soil is worked on and plants are watered when topics around the soil and water usage are covered the timetable must ensure that once a week every class has geography of all social sciences pierot towards the end of the school day to ensure that learners do not have other peers to attend after working on the garden the topics around poverty and inequalities will be covered using the main goal of this - project as they expose - to reality and how to deal with social issues geography will support these projects throughout the year in grade 11 geography the garden will be an experimental zone and lanús will further help in watering the crops and making sure that the proper methods of farming have been applied as per lesson outcomes and the end of term 1 the topics involve Africa's weather and climate drought and desertification lenez will get to understand why all crops cannot be planted in one garden and it will further help them understand seasons of the year lianna's will get to understand why and discuss the causes and impacts of drought and desertification together with the precautionary measures such as irrigation and farming methods in the end of term - topics around slopes mass movement and human responses are covered lenez we'll get to understand the impacts of slopes on vegetation and why would they promote mass movement in turn three topics around development such as development issues and challenges role of development aid will be covered education is one of the indicators of development and development aids are very important to boost the development of the country the entire project creates an understanding of development barriers and what alternative development is intend for topics around resource usage and soil and soil erosion are covered importance of water and soil factors affecting soil fertility and water supplier will be explored the learners may use the garden as their case study to assess the garden throughout covered topics in geography to ensure that all the knowledge has been applied in geography in left orientation our specific aims to this project is to prepare align us to take responsibilities and opportunities to life's challenges okay it is to guide learners to make informed and responsible decisions but they are on health and well-being of others all right the end result our school is currently facing textbook issues which delays the process of length therefore as a school we have agreed to engaged in a peer-to-peer fundraising such as Ashanti and developing s cook again in order to raise funds the carry out they will be held as a weekly fundraising project that will encourage learners to come to school as the viewer indifferently this project will encourage learners to contribute financially by donating food by friend not only to raise funds but also to raise an awareness of the challenges that you are facing our program to raise money will also give learners the experience that will help them to prepare for their life after high school the school garden will give the community and the school the opportunity to access fresh fruits and vegtables which will be sold at an affordable price the school garden will get children to learn about the nutrition as the garden used to teach almost any subject from science to up the school and also teach learners business skills and so forth as a life science teacher we believe that the garden project will based on the some of the key issues in our community and I was cool in particular agriculture fits well with in our grade 11 life science so it can be used as an educational tool from our caps document in temptu we've got a topic on animal nutrition these covers issues around homeostatic control looking at different food intake energy growth and health also rent em for we've got a topic on human impact on the environment this includes the issues around population growth deforestation food security and our contribution towards the climate change establishing a garden definitely has a number of benefits be it health economic and psychological benefits let's look at some number one the garden is fairly cheaper to maintain since the community is poorer and our school is very poor as well it would not cost us a lot of money to maintain such a project number two eating freshly harvested vegetables promotes healthier living standard since the garden itself will provide us with this nutritious food that will start off with many chronic illnesses as well nourish our body so that we can live healthy number three our environment benefits immensely our off out of this project since the green the green crops and the plus that we will be planting in our garden are the ones responsible for reducing the greenhouse gases and give him back the much-needed oxygen so this will also counter the effect of the global warming and the climate change number four it should should this project be successful there will be money that will be generated this is what we need in our school as well touching on the element of the psychological benefit I'll just mention the few working in the garden will bring about an opportunity to reconcile the learners amongst themselves or the learners and the teachers by bringing what I can call a social cohesion so this will reunite the community in the school number two looking back at the the vegetables that you have grown you will have the sense of good feeling boosting yourself esteem having a sense of self-worth having accomplished something positive in life number three making a habit of going out there in the garden to work it out will be as good as a formal exercise so this is food for your health for your heart health number four being in a garden by the virtue of just being in the garden this will potentially reduce the level of stress which is our number one or one of the most health risks that we are facing in our lives today my own contribution as the history teacher to this project is premised in the understanding that the study of history supports citizenship within a democratic by upholding the values of the South African Constitution and also helping people to understand those values it also reflects the perspectives of a broad social spectrum so that race class gender and the voices of the ordinary people are presented it also encouraged civil responsibility and responsible leadership including raising current social and environmental concerns and also prepare young people for local regional national and continental and group of responsibilities and with that in mind we employ this whole understanding in terms of how we are going to contribute towards those projects because our aim is to generate enough funds to purchase textbooks by the end of the year we have taken it upon ourselves to try and raise funds not just as a school but also through other projects that we can embark on in order to generate the funds we need to buy the textbooks by the end of the year since the project runs throughout the year my subject would contribute by organizing both Casualty that will run within the school for a firing fee we will also utilize the September month as the history class in order to to cultural events these in turn will help the great Heron learners who have as one of their themes heritage and legacies under the topic transformation in southern Africa as a history teacher I have the responsibility to encourage my learners towards a civil responsibility and there was an responsible leadership and such there will be encouraged to get involved in the project by means of assisting with the casual day events and cultural day each class from grade 10 to 12 will be asked at some point to render an item during assembly in order to encourage the rest of the learners to attend and pay m5

Emil Kraepelin
emil kraepelin was a german psychiatrist Isaac's encyclopedia of psychology identifies him as the founder of modern scientific psychiatry psychopharmacology and psychiatric genetics crep alene was a strong and influential proponent of eugenics and racial hygiene and believed the chief origin of psychiatric disease to be biological and genetic malfunction his theories dominated psychiatry at the start of the 20th century and despite the later psychodynamic influence of Sigmund Freud and his disciples enjoyed a revival at century's end while he proclaimed his own high clinical standards of gathering information by means of expert analysis of individual cases he also drew on reported observations of officials not trained in psychiatry his textbooks do not contain detailed case histories of individuals but mosaic like compilations of typical statements and behaviors from patients with a specific diagnosis he has been described as a scientific manager and political operator who developed a large-scale clinically oriented epidemiological research program family and early life crep alene whose father Karl Wilhelm was a former opera singer music teacher and later successful

procedure at Munich crep aleene's major work compendium der psychiatry zum Gaborik first duty rand UND heirs a-- compendium of psychiatry for the use of students and physicians was first published in 1883 and was expanded in subsequent multi-volume additions to eine lair book der psychiatry a textbook foundations of psychiatry and neuroscience in it he argued that psychiatry was a branch of medical science and should be investigated by observation and experimentation like the other Natural Sciences he called for research into the physical causes of mental illness and started to establish the foundations of the modern classification system for mental disorders crep alene proposed that by studying case histories and identifying specific disorders progression of mental illness could be predicted after taking into account individual differences in personality and patient age at the onset of disease in 1884 he became senior physician in the Prussian provincial town of Lubas Silesia province and the following year he was appointed director of the treatment and nursing Institute in Dresden on July 1st 1886 at the age of 30 CREP alene was named professor of psychiatry at the

where he remained until 1904 . while at Dorpat he became the director of the 80 bed university clinic there he began to study in record many clinical histories in detail and was led to consider the importance of the course of the illness with regard to the classification of mental disorders in 1903 crapoly moved to Munich to become professor of clinical psychiatry at the University of Munich he was elected a member of the Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences in 1908 in 1912 at the request of the German society of Psychiatry he began plans to establish a center for research following a large donation from the Jewish German American banker James Loeb who had at one time been a patient and promises of support from patrons of science the German Institute for psychiatric research was founded in 1917 in Munich initially housed in existing hospital buildings it was maintained by further donations from lope and his relatives in 1924 it came under the auspices of the Kaiser Wilhelm Society for the Advancement of science the German American Rockefeller families Rockefeller Foundation made a large donation enabling the development of a new dedicated building for the Institute along crep aleene's guidelines which was officially opened in 1928 CREP alene spoke out against the barbarous treatment that was prevalent in the psychiatric asylums of the time and crusade against alcohol capital punishment and the imprisonment rather than treatment of the insane he rejected psychoanalytical theories that posited in eighth or early sexuality as the cause of mental illness and he rejected philosophical speculation as unscientific he focused on collecting clinical data and was particularly interested in neuropathology eg diseased tissue in the later period of his career as a convinced champion of social Darwinism he actively promoted a policy and research agenda in racial hygiene and eugenics crep alene retired from teaching at the age of 66 spending his remaining years establishing the Institute the ninth and final edition of his textbook was published in 1927 shortly after his death it comprised four volumes and was ten times larger than the first edition of 1883 in the last years of his life he crippled een was preoccupied with Buddhist teachings and was planning to visit Buddhist shrines at the time of his death according to his daughter Antony Schmidt crippling theories and classification schemes crep alene announced that he had found a new way of looking at mental illness referring to the traditional view is symptomatic into his view as clinical this turned out to be his paradigm setting synthesis of the hundreds of mental disorders classified by the 19th century grouping diseases together based on classification of syndrome common patterns of symptoms over time rather than by simple similarity of major symptoms in the manner of his predecessors crippling described his work in the fifth edition of his textbook as a decisive step from asymptomatic to a clinical view of insanity the importance of external clinical signs has been subordinated to consideration of the conditions of origin the course and the terminus which result from individual disorders thus all purely symptomatic categories have disappeared from the know so Logie psychosis and mood CREP alene is specifically credited with the classification of what was previously considered to be a unitary concept of psychosis into two distinct forms known as the creepily nian dichotomy manic depression now seen as comprising a range of mood disorders such as recurrent major depression and bipolar disorder and dementia praecox drawing on his long term research and using the criteria of course outcome and prognosis he developed the concept of dementia praecox which he defined as the sub acute development of a peculiar simple condition of mental weakness occurring at a youthful age when he first introduced this concept as a diagnostic entity in the fourth german edition of his lair buck der psychiatry in 1893 it was placed among the degenerative disorders alongside but separate from catatonia and dementia paranoids at that time the concept corresponded by enlarge with you old hackers Hiva free Nia in the sixth edition of the lair buck in 1899 all three of these clinical types are treated as different expressions of one disease dementia praecox one of the cardinal principles of his method was the recognition that any given symptom may appear in virtually any one of these disorders eg there is almost no single symptom occurring in dementia praecox which cannot sometimes be found in manic depression what distinguishes each disease symptomatically as opposed to the underlying pathology is not any particular pathognomonic symptom or symptoms but a specific pattern of symptoms in the absence of a direct physiological or genetic test or marker for each disease it is only possible to distinguish them by their specific pattern of symptoms thus crippling system is a method for pattern recognition not grouping by common symptoms CREP alene also demonstrated specific patterns in the genetics of these disorders and specific and characteristic patterns in their course and outcome generally speaking there tend to be more schizophrenics among the relatives of schizophrenic patients than in the general population while manic depression is more frequent in the relatives of manic depressives though of course this does not demonstrate genetic linkage as this might be a socio-environmental factor as well he also reported a pattern to the course and outcome of these conditions CREP alene believed that schizophrenia had a deteriorating course in which mental function continuously although perhaps erratically declines while manic depressive patients experienced a course of illness which was intermittent where patients were relatively symptom free during the intervals which separate acute episodes this led CREP alene to name what we now know as schizophrenia dementia praecox the dementia part signifying the irreversible mental decline it later became clear that dementia praecox did not necessarily lead to mental decline and was thus renamed schizophrenia by Eugen Bleuler to correct CREP aleene's misnomer in addition as crapoly n-- accepted in 1920 it is becoming increasingly obvious that we cannot satisfactorily distinguish these two diseases however he maintained that on the one hand we find those patients with irreversible dementia and severe cortical lesions on the other are those patients whose personality remains intact nevertheless overlap between the diagnosis and neurological abnormalities when found have continued and in fact a diagnostic category of schizoaffective disorder would be brought in to cover the intermediate cases crep alene devoted very few pages to his speculations about the etiology of his two major insanities dementia praecox and manic-depressive insanity however from 1896 to his death in 1926 he held to the speculation that these insanities particularly dementia praecox would one day probably be found to be caused by a gradual systemic or whole-body disease process probably metabolic which affected many of the organs and nerves in the body but affected the brain in a final decisive cascade psychopathic personalities in the 1st through 6th edition of CREP aleene's influential psychiatry textbook there was a section on moral insanity which meant then a disorder of the emotions or moral sense without apparent delusions or hallucinations and which crippling defined as lack or weakness of those sentiments which counter the ruthless satisfaction of egotism he attributed this mainly to degeneration this has been described as a psychiatric redefinition of Cesare Lombroso theories of the born criminal conceptualized as a moral defect though crippling stressed it was not yet possible to recognize them by physical characteristics in fact from 1904 Creveling changed the section heading to the born criminal moving it from under congenital feeble-mindedness to a new chapter on psychopathic personalities they were treated under a theory of degeneration four types were distinguished born criminals inborn delinquents pathological liars querulous persons and treat mention persons driven by a basic compulsion including vagabonds spendthrifts and dipsomaniacs the concept of psychopathic inferiorities had been recently popularized in Germany by Julius Ludwig Auguste cook who proposed congenital and acquired types crippling had no evidence or explanation suggesting a congenital cause and his assumption therefore appears to have been simple biology zhim others such as Gustavo schaffen Berg argued for a varying combination of causes CREP aleene's assumption of a moral defect rather than a positive drive towards crime has also been questioned as it implies that the moral sense is somehow inborn and unvarying yet it was known to vary by time and place and crapoly never considered that the moral sense might just be different Kurt Schneider criticized crep aleene's no so lucky for appearing to be a list of behaviors that he considered undesirable rather than medical conditions though Schneider's alternative version has also been criticized on the same basis nevertheless many essentials of these diagnostic systems were introduced into the diagnostic systems and remarkable similarities remain in the DSM 4 and ICD 10 dot the issues would today mainly be considered under the category of personality disorders or in terms of CREP aleene's focus on psychopathy crippling had referred to psychopathic conditions or States in his 1896 edition including compulsive insanity impulsive insanity homosexuality and mood disturbances from 1904 however he instead termed those original disease conditions and introduced the new alternative category of psychopathic personalities in the 8th edition from 1909 that category would include in addition to a separate des social type the excitable the unstable the treat mentioned driven persons eccentrics the liars and swindlers and the quarrelsome has been described as remarkable that CREP alene now considered mood disturbances to be not part of the same category but only attenuated more mild phases of manic-depressive illness this corresponds to current classification schemes Alzheimer's disease CREP alene postulated that there is a specific brain or other biological pathology underlying each of the major psychiatric disorders as a colleague of a Louise Alzheimer he was a co-discoverer of Alzheimer's disease and his laboratory discovered it's pathological basis crippling was confident that it would someday be possible to identify the pathological basis of each of the major psychiatric disorders degeneration of the race upon moving to become professor of clinical psychiatry at the University of Munich in 1903 krepo leaned increasingly wrote on social policy issues he was a strong and influential proponent of eugenics and racial hygiene his publications included a focus on alcoholism crime degeneration and hysteria crep alene was convinced that such institutions as the education system in the welfare state because of their trend to break the processes of natural selection undermined the Germans biological struggle for survival . he was concerned to preserve and enhance the German people the folk in the sense of nation or race he appears to have held Lamarckian concepts of evolution such that cultural deterioration could be inherited he was a strong ally and promoter of the work of fellow psychiatrist and pupil and later successor as director of the clinic Ernst Rudin to clarify the mechanisms of genetic inheritance as to make a so called empirical genetic prognosis Martin Brune has pointed out that CREP alene and Rudin also appeared to have been ardent advocates of a self domestication theory a version of social Darwinism which held that modern culture was not allowing people to be weeded out resulting in more mental disorder and deterioration of the gene pool crippling saw a number of symptoms of this such as weakening of viability and resistance decreasing fertility proletarianization and moral damage due to penning up people zoo salmon fur chun-hee also wrote that the number of idiots epileptics psychopaths criminals prostitutes and tramps who descend from alcoholic and syphilitic parents and who transfer their inferiority to their offspring is incalculable he felt that the well-known example of the Jews with their strong disposition towards nervous and mental disorders teaches us that they're extraordinarily advanced domestication may eventually imprint clear marks on the race Brune states that CREP aleene's no so logical system was to a great deal built on the degeneration paradigm influence CREP aleene's great contribution in classifying schizophrenia and manic depression remains relatively unknown to the general public and his work which had neither the literary quality nor paradigmatic power of Freud's is little read outside scholarly circles CREP aleene's contributions were also to a large extent marginalized throughout a good part of the 20th century during the success of Freudian ideological theories however his views now dominate many quarters of psychiatric research and academic psychiatry his fundamental theories on the diagnosis of psychiatric disorders form the basis of the major diagnostic systems in use today especially the American Psychiatric Association's DSM 4 in the World Health Organization's ICD system based on the research diagnostic criteria and earlier Feiner criteria developed by espoused neo creepily nians though Robert Spitzer and others in the DSM committees were keen not to include assumptions about causation as crep alene had crippling has been described as a scientific manager and political operator who developed a large scale clinically oriented epidemiological research program in this role he took in clinical information from a wide range of sources and networks despite proclaiming high clinical standards for himself to gather information by means of expert analysis of individual cases he would also draw on the reported observations of officials not trained in psychiatry the various editions of his textbooks do not contain detail case histories of individuals however but mosaic like compilations of typical statements and behaviors from patients with a specific diagnosis in broader terms he has been described as a bourgeois a reactionary citizen dot CREP alene wrote in a nap UND klar concise and clear style that made his books useful tools for physicians abridged in clumsy English translations of the 6th and 7th editions of his textbook in 1902 and 1907 respectively by Alan Ross Stephen Dorff 1871 1943 an assistant physician at the Connecticut Hospital for the insane at Middletown inadequately conveyed the literary quality of his writings that made them so valuable to practitioners dreams in the Heidelberg in early Munich years he edited psychologist car Beadon a journal on experimental psychology one of his own famous contributions to this journal also appeared in the form of a monograph 105 pages entitled Huber sprack storing and I'm trum on language disturbances and dreams krepo leaned on the basis on the dream psychosis analogy studied for more than 20 years language disorder in dreams in order to study indirectly schizophrenia collected are mainly his own they lack extensive comment by the dreamer in order to study them the full range of biographical knowledge available today on CREP alene is necessary you

COLD CALLING SCRIPT THAT WORKS!
so i want to go ahead and go through the script with you so you can listen to it rewind this video write it down and absolutely be able to use it so i'm going to give two different versions one is if the prospect says yes and you're going to set an appointment but two is what if they actually say no and they're not going to do anything right now how can you actually use that to build your network and develop relationships so i say a ring ring they say hello i say hi is john there and they're going to say this is john i'm going to say i actually put some out to this sometimes with the data you're using you might actually have the wrong name and so you're going to have to they're going to say oh uh no this isn't john so you have to tailor that a little bit you have to kind of get learn how to deal with that in the spot so basically say okay no problem maybe you can help me so let's say you're calling in and say hi this is john and they say oh no this you got the wrong number say oh okay well maybe you can help me my name and then you go into this next part hi this is colton lindsay with the wgr academy how you doing today and the purpose is to get them to say how are you doing back we want to solicit that now they won't always but a lot of time they will and here's why because you want to respond with i love my life thanks for asking and then you say hey listen i was just calling to say it's super simple listen i was just calling to see if you might be thinking of selling your house we get straight to the point and sometimes you're gonna actually have people say yes to this question i've made enough of these calls my team has my clients and students have that yes people are going to say yes to this you say oh wow you are in fact you're probably going to be super surprised and naturally you're going to act surprised you say you are great well let me ask when you sell your house where do you plan on moving next you want to treat them like a friend and they're going to tell you hey we're moving to salt lake city or whatever it is and you say perfect what we're taking to salt lake city and they're going to say oh it's a job transfer and you're going to be packing oh oh a job transfer that makes sense how soon this is important question how soon would something crazy like that that you'd pack up all your stuff and you'd make a move and then this is we're gonna say oh it's gonna be in six months or oh in 30 days and you're going to be able to identify if this is a hot lead or a long-term warmer lead note if they're saying in less than three months we want to go for the appointment more than that we want to schedule follow-up okay now they're gonna you're gonna say no matter what you say oh that's soon huh well let me ask if you knew 100 for certain that by doing business with me two things would happen this is the magic question i've taught it for years now one is you sell your house and two is you end up with significantly more money in your pocket than you could get any other way that's with or without an agent and i know it's a big promise but uh would you even want to hear more about it and be honest with me and then usually they're gonna say yeah i'd absolutely want to hear about that great can i tell you what most people do in your situation john and they said well what's that well usually what we do is we set up a time to get together for 20 or minutes or so and i can share with you how i do business do usually early afternoon works or typically later afternoon is better for you and he's going to say early afternoon or whatever and you say okay well i've got availability thursday at 3 or is friday at 3 better for you but what happens in the scenario if they say no and you're going to say hi is john there and they're going to say this is john hey john it's colton lindsay with the wgr academy listen um how are you doing today i'm going to say whoa doing great awesome and they can ask how you doing you say i love my life thanks for asking and if they don't ask that's okay too just go into the next part and you they're gonna you're gonna say hey listen i was just calling to see if you might be thinking of selling your home and they might say no which is very very common and you're going to say okay no problem do you have any plans of moving ever and then this is them going to say oh maybe in two years but if they say not right now we don't have any plans not even on a radar you're gonna say well that's good to know uh listen i gotta get going to my next prospecting call but anyways i have a networking program where i check in with homeowners like four times a year by phone uh to just check in about the market would something like that be of value for you and if they say yes awesome great i got your name and your address it's uh one two three just wanna perform it's one two three happy hallo confirm that by the way what's your best email address i'm gonna send you my contact information so you can reach out to me if you ever have a question that way you put it on them to call you and it's very non-invasive and then you can plug them into your email and you can drip on them and through today's technology now they've opted in so you can actually retarget them online and it doesn't even cost you any extra money to do that it just builds that network and builds your brand and with time it may develop even more relationships okay so these are an exact strategy you can use these scripts to build your network to set appointments and to ultimately generate leads for your business

is DP gen if you enjoy the video If so legendary Most Wanted BMW GTR m3e 46 yes we all know this is available if you play online multiplayer it's also within the campaign mode via a I believe it's a high heat delivery for years I haven't got to that stage yet I've seen a video on it though we get to actually well drop the car off or I don't know I don't know just escort somebody around but guys you can actually get this in the game for yourself for your own personal usage by simply buying it and just simply adding a body kit and a couple of decals it is really that simple uh showcase you in the photo mode I've got it looking actually spot on shame the um it's night but that doesn't really matter can I turn this up no I can't no can't but don't matter I'll go into my garage I go into the garage and show you exactly what we have here now actually um I knew the car was in the game via the uh East ignition or whatever it is oh look how beautiful it is it's such a beautiful car but I actually needed a car for my own races and I was just scrolling through and I come across this and I thought you know what I'm just gonna buy it I'm just gonna buy it and see if I can actually make the most wanted a GTR M3 and I did now where is the car itself it's somewhere here uh I think it's right there that is it right there that M3 E46 2006 yes I added the GTR to it uh but hey so it costs 70 grand not hard to get whatsoever and like I needed a car that was in the a category and I bought it I bought it people and I simply bought the body kit which is in the game already which is this one right here I can't remember how much this cast I think it could have been um like 17K maybe a little more um but there's some ballast ones as well that's quite sexy looking but hey if you want the the Classic this is the option we have to go with and as you can see I've tried to make it perfect as good as I can uh the rims are slightly different on mine as you can see because I just prefer these rooms over the actual legendary rooms which are in the game you just can't make the sizes any bigger um as you can see I've even done the the course of the windows you know the racing Windows you got that little opening try to add that as well hey I think even a little toe hook at the front I think it looks pretty spun I think it honestly looks pretty spun now you can see here um where are we going where are we going I didn't actually do none of this I had none of that we're going to paint and it right now the paint I use if you're curious It's that color right there which I think is probably this one or that one I'm not sure exactly because the images I was using on the internet um obviously depends on the color you screen and the buttons your screen and it's one of these colors anyway but hey it doesn't even matter I'm happy we don't want to go and that's sort of wrap guys it's actually quite easy to do um literally I mean there's not even that many layers I've used them as soon as you've done a one side you then just copy and move them all to the other side just move them over to see that option a mirror Decor you can do that to the other side and then all you got to worry about is just a front the roof and the back that is it there's nothing hard to do whatsoever now I do believe I can share this somehow I haven't quite figured that out yet um I'm gonna come out of this discard that because my commute is a lot to check out the designs care about other players I'm not sure why that is locked uh do I have to get to a certain point in the story I'm not even sure yet but hey yeah um as soon as I can share this I will I am an Xbox by the way my gamer tag is I am the PJ which you can't see stop by yeah so yeah um if you can search for that in game search that and this will be there for you just buy the car buy the body kit apply those rims and a decal will be available for you to actually get and it looks basically perfect to the one you get in a multiplayer game but what we have multiplayer version of this game so yeah guys I mean if you want this thing you may as well get it people because it does look absolutely amazing that's actually what I bought it for I've been so busy doing Collectibles I haven't even done the first qualifier yet I mean that's what I bought this car for you so yes guys this is the legendary BMW M3 GTR E46 I think in Need for Speed it may have been 2005. in this game it's 2006 I could be wrong there haven't modified this in any way in regards to its engine and performance yet so like I said I needed it for yeah the A-Class category and that's what we have well it is a base it is a beast so there we have it guys guys if you enjoyed the video leave a like who really helps out if you like what you see and want

cousin by mary f nixon roley preface washed by the blue mediterranean and kissed by the warm southern sun the iberian peninsula lies at the southwestern corner of europe to this sunny land of spain we owe much for from its hospitable shores aided by her generous queen columbus sail to discover that new world which is today our home we should therefore be very friendly to the country which helped him and american boys and girls should welcome the coming of our little spanish cousin end of preface chapter 1 of our little spanish cousin this is the librivox recording all librivox recordings are in the public domain for more information or to volunteer please visit librivox.org our little spanish cousin by mary f nixon rowley chapter 1 the christening one of the things which fernando remembered was the christening of his little sister he was five years old and had no other brother or sister to play with for pablo his wonderful big brother was away at the naval school and his older sister augustia was at school in the convent when fernando's nurse told him that he had a little sister he was delighted and begged to see her and when all his relatives on both sides of the house came to see the baby christened he was still more pleased fernando was a little spanish boy and in his country a great deal is thought of kinsfolk for the spanish are very warm-hearted and affectionate so fernando was glad to see all his aunts and uncles and cousins and all the friends who happened to be visiting them at the time fernando's father the senior don juan de guzman was a quarterly gentleman and he bowed low over the ladies hands and said the house is yours senora to each one so as the boy generally copied their fathers fernando assured his little cousins that he placed himself at their feet and welcomed them just as politely as his father had the older folk what a wonderful time he had that day first came the christian in the great cathedral which towers above granada and in which li buried the king and queen ferdinand and isabella in whose reign columbus sailed away from spain to discover america the cathedral was so grand that it always made fernando feel very strange and quiet and he thought it was shocking that the baby cried when the priest poured water on her and baptized her maria dolores concepcion is this seems a long name for such a tiny little might but there was a reason for every single name and not one could be left out nearly all spanish children are named maria whether boys or girls because the spaniards are devoted to the virgin mary and as the baby was born on the feast of the immaculate conception she was called concepcion isabel was for her aunt and inez was for her godmother and juanita for her father her name did not seem at all long to fernando for his name was fernando antonio maria alegria francisco ruiz everyone called in fernando hernando and his long name had troubled him but once in all his gay little life that time he had been naughty and had run away from his ayah the nurse who always watches little spanish children like a faithful dog and he had fallen into the deep ditch beside the great aloe edge the aloes are stalwart plants with long leaves wide extending in sawtooth and they are often planted close together so as to make hedgerows through which cattle cannot pass the leaves of the aloe are sometimes a yard long and they're very useful from them are made strong cords and also the albargatas or sandals which the peasants wear and the fibers of the leaf are separated from the pulp and made into many things to wear the central stem of the aloe grows sometimes 20 feet high and it has a number of stems on the ends of which grow yellow flowers the leaves are a bluish green in color and look like long blue swords the long headshot looked very beautiful against the soft blue of the spanish guy but little fernando did not see anything pretty in them as he lay at the bottom of the ditch roaring lustily who's there demanded an american gentleman who was traveling in spain as he came along on the other side of the hedge and fernando replied fernando antonio maria alegria francesco roigos manik if there's so many of you i should think you could help each other out said the american and when he finally extricated one small boy he laughed hardly and said as he took fernando home i should think a name like that would topple you over after that fernando always called americans the people who laugh after the baby was christian they went home through the narrow streets of the quaint old town all the horses wore bells and as they trotted along the tinkle tinkle sounded like slaying time in america the reason for this is that in many places the streets are too narrow for two characters to pass and the bells give a warning that a vehicle is coming so that the one coming from the opposite direction may find a wide spot in the road and they'll wait till the other carriage has passed as the christening party went toward the home of fernando it passed a man driving two or three goats and he stopped in front of a house from a window a witch was let down a string in a pail into this the man looked and taking out a piece of money which lay in the bottom he milked the pail full from one of the goats and the owner pulled it up to her window again it seems a strange way to get your morning's milk but it is sure to be fresh and sweet right from the goat and there is no chance to put water in it as milkman sometimes do in america the houses fernando past were all painted in many soft colors and they had charming little iron balconies to some of which palm branches were fastened blessed palms from the church at holy week which the spaniards believe will keep lightning from striking the house fernando's house was much larger than the rest for his father was a noble of one of the oldest families in spain whose ancestors had done many splendid things for the state in the olden times the house had several balconies from which hung down long sprays of blossoms for every balcony railing was filled with flower pots there grew vines and flowers nasturtiums hyacinths wallflowers pinks and violets their sweet scents filling the air when the christening party entered the house the baby was born off to the nursery and fernando no longer a baby but a big boy with a baby sister was allowed to go with the rest to the patio where breakfast was served the patio is one of the most charming things about the real spanish houses it is a court in the center of the house larger than an ordinary room with a marble floor and a huge awning which protects it from the sun yet leaves the party open to the fresh air and sweet scents of the sunny out of doors all the family gather in the patio and it is the favorite lounging place for old and young in the patio of the senorku's mom's house were orange trees and jasmine and all colors of violets bloomed around the marble rim of the fountain which was in the center what a wonderful thing that christening feast was to fernando there was much laughing and talking and such good things to eat when all were through eating little juanita's health was drunk and her godfather proposed her health and recited a poem he had composed in her honor please god my little god child that your life as pure may be as a laughing brook which through the valley runeth ever limpedly your godfather francesco wishes fervently this very much delighted everyone and so with laughter and merriment the christening feast was over end of chapter 1 chapter 2 of our little spanish cousin this is a librivox recording all librivox recordings are in the public domain for more information or to volunteer please visit librivox.org recording by michelle remington our little cousin by mary f nixon roulette chapter two school days when fernando was seven years old he began to go to school little juanita cried bitterly for she was devoted to her big brother who played such lovely games with her and she did not like to think of his being away from her nearly all day however she was told that fernando was a big boy now and that before long she would be having a governess to teach her to read and embroider so she stopped crying very quickly for she was a sunny little child and went to picking flowers in the garden quite contentedly how grown up fernando felt to be a real school boy his school days were all alike he arose at half past seven when the church bells were ringing for the daily service he had a bath said his prayers and dressed himself very neatly for he had first to be looked over by his ayah and then inspected by his mama to see if he could pass muster and was clean and neat as a little spanish gentleman should be mama being satisfied with his appearance he gave her his morning kiss and greeted the rest of the family then followed breakfast a simple wholesome meal of samola or gruel and warm milk with bread and honey and eggs after a run in the garden the io or preceptor called to take him to school fernando skipped happily away to study until 12 o'clock when dinner was served to the day borders a dinner of soup vegetables and dessert with a little play time afterward spanish boys do not take tea or coffee until they are grown up at half past four the boys are turned out of school and then comes the delight of the day to fernando his io has disappeared and in his stead has come manuel his own man who tells such delightful stories of knights and warriors and the glories of spain and who thinks that all his little master does is perfect manuel knows all about the city and he is willing to take fernando any place he wishes to go provided it is a fit place for a boy of rank he knows just where the marionettes are playing and if there is a gay crowd on the square a trained bear or a funny little monkey he will be sure to have heard about it and take fernando to see it if there is no special excitement manuel takes him to the paseo where all the boys of the town gather here they play and mimic battles and bull fights and fernando enters into everything with delight until manuel thinks it's time for the senora his mother to pass by in the carriage how delighted this little boy is to see her and how his tongue rattles as he tells her all the events of the day as he rides home with her through the long soft twilight of the soft spanish night how good his supper tastes a simple little supper of chocolate rich and dark white bread and golden honey with some little iced cakes which dear old dolores the cook has made for the little master all the servants love fernando dearly for though he has a hot temper and sometimes is very willful he is so loving that they do not mind his naughtiness after supper fernando says the rosary with his ayah goes over his lessons a little and then tumbles into bed in a happy slumber all his days are very much alike for spanish children are brought up very simply and have little excitement though they have many pleasures there are little visits paid to aunts and cousins visits remembered not too pleasantly by the pet dog and parrot of his aunt the parrot was brought from cuba by uncle enrico the priest the bird knows fernando well and scolds terribly in the most unchurchly language every time he approaches the cage the french poodle too does not greatly care for a visit from fernando for the boy cannot help teasing and the fat stupid dog his aunt isabelle's darling does nothing but lie around on silk cushions and eat comforts fernando likes animals and would never really hurt one but there is something in the calm self-satisfaction of pepino that stirs up all the mischief in him and aunt isabel has been heard to exclaim fernando will be my death he is a dear boy and if it came to choosing between him and pepo i am quite sure i would take my nephew but thank heaven i have not to choose fernando's own dog was different he found him one day close by the garden railing a poor ragged fellow lean and hungry with a lame foot but a pair of pleading and wistful brown eyes which with all their misery had yet a look of good fellowship within them which appealed to fernando's gay nature as the pitiful plight of the little fellow appealed to his tender heart the dog put a pink tongue through the railing and licked fernando's hand and that clinched the bargain henceforth the two were friends fernando persuaded manuel to bathe and tie up the wounded foot and feed the puppy that was all the boy dared at first but the next day he found the dog in the same place and fed him again every day after the little followed him to school and when school was over his yellow-haired dog ship awaited his benefactor manuel winked at the friendship and allowed mazo as fernando called him to have many a good meal at the garden gate manuel was a great stickler for the properties but he had been a boy once and there were some things that fernando's lady mother would not at all have comprehended that good old manuel understood perfectly mazo was far more interesting to fernando than the thoroughbred ladylike pets of his mother and it was a sore subject with him that mazo who was so clever who could whip the dogs of any of his school friends should be kept outside the house his mother did not seem to realize that mazo's fighting qualities were what made him valuable one fatal day when she had driven to the paseo a little earlier than usual and had seen a fight between mazzo and another little dog equally disreputable she had cried out fernando come away from that ferocious beast he must be mad and she had seemed anything but reassured when fernando had tried to calm her down by saying but mama he is not so mad i know him well he is the gentlest of beings he can whip any dog in the paseo the pride of possession getting the better of prudence thereafter manuel was most careful of mazo's appearance he captured him and washed him and let him sleep in a shed at night and by degrees the little fellow lost his trampish appearance and became a semi-respectable member of society though still ready to follow fernando like a shadow to fight at his will and to share with him an excursion into forbidden lands it was really drool to see the different errors which mazo could assume he had ever an eye upon his audience having early learned in the hard school of misfortune that his comfort depended not at all upon himself but upon the humor of those about him with the outside world his look was wary with the family of his master he was apologetic his brown eyes seemed to say i place myself at your feet most nobles in yours i pray you excuse me for living but with fernando well it was tempered with respect his heir was one of good fellowship alone even the senora herself the head of the house and authority in chief as is the case in all spanish households came to regard fernando's dog with a degree of friendliness and finding this out the servants treated him kindly and mazzo decided that his lines had fallen into pleasant places upon this however he never presumed he knew not how long it would last but felt that he was upon good behavior he restrained his desire to chase juanita's pet cat and to bark when the parrot imitated his barking though the restraint put upon himself must have been severe for he made up for it went out with manuel and fernando then he was himself again mazo the end of chapter 2 recording by michelle remington chapter 3

little spanish cousin by mary f nixon roulet chapter 3 a visit to a hacienda one day in october when the sun was shining in golden beauty the senora said to her husband i should like to go to the hacienda tomorrow and take the children with me for la nina has never seen the picking and fernando did not go last year or the year before it will give me pleasure to escort you said the senor de guzman in the courtly manner which spanish gentlemen used toward their wives at what hour will it please you to start as early as you can she answered so that we may arrive there and plenty of time to see the picking before luncheon and after a siesta drive back in the pleasant part of the afternoon we shall start at nine then said her husband and should arrive there by ten or a little after when fernando returned from school and heard that he was to accompany his mother next day he was nearly beside himself with joy juanita he cried you have no idea how delightful it is at the fruit farm i have not been there for two years but i remember it well all the oranges one can eat and such raisins you will much enjoy it i am sure he was up bright and early next day and impatient to start long before his mother was ready and even his father was waiting before the senora made her appearance she was a large woman and very slow and graceful in her movements no one had ever seen her hurried and everyone expected to wait for her so that it was nearly half past nine when they started the coachmen whipped up the horses and away they went skimming over the rough stones fernando sat with diego and manuel on the front seat of the carriage while dolores sat beside the senora holding juanita on her lap the senor rode upon his high-stepping andalusian horse beside the carriage and pointed out places of interest to the children as they drove along a gay young officer passed by them young and slim riding a handsome horse and some soldiers were maneuvering on the plaza one poor fellow once a gay soldier but now with an empty sleeve dressed in a faded army blouse and wearing a merit medal was begging in the street and the senior stopped to give him a piece of silver for spaniards are always generous and pitiful and could not resist a beggar he had served in cuba said the senor to his wife and she sighed as she thought of the many lost to spain and their dear ones in that useless war fruit vendors passed along the street and donkeys so laden with fruit and flowers that almost nothing of them could be seen but their slim little legs and their great waving ears water carriers were there carrying huge jars which looked like those used by the old moors and a traveling merchant in grey garments but with brightly dressed mules it was not so bright a party that they passed later for a peasant funeral passed by on its way to the cemetery four young men carried the beer upon which was the body of a child covered all but its face which lay exposed to the sun take your head off son said the senora always do so to a passing funeral for maybe yours will be the last salute the dead will receive on earth no sooner was the funeral past then there came a straw and charcoal merchant crying so many people in granada have no way to warm themselves except by the bracero in which charcoal is burnt that there is great need for the charcoal man and he drives a brisk trade next they saw a priest on a sick call for he bore the blessed sacrament the crowd of rugged urchins stopped in their play to kneel as he passed and fernando and his father raised their hats by this time the carriage had reached the outskirts of the city and the road wound along the banks of the darrow a rushing stream which gushes out of a deep mountain gorge and passes through the town its banks are lined with quaint old houses leaning far over the river and fernando saw women there washing their linen in the water and spreading their clothes on the stones to dry outside of the town their way lay along the beautiful vega which stretches beyond granada in green and fertile loveliness to the far away hills crossed by two rivers the darrow and the geneal the plain is dotted with whitewashed villas nestling like birds in the soft green of the olive and orange trees sloping gradually to the mountains above the vega is green as emerald and truly a fair sight beneath the turquoise sky and the mother of pearl of the snowy mountains fernando's father owned large estates upon the hillside and raised oranges and grapes the last were used for raisins the grapes from which the finest wine is made the amontillato for which spain is so famous not reaching their greatest perfection in this part of the land in an hour they reached the farm and drove down the long lane which led to the house the hacienda of santa olalia was a large low building with a broad porch and a tangle of vines and roses climbing over it huge trees spread their arms over the roof and from the balcony one could see the groves of cypress trees pines oaks and poplars beyond the fruit trees and above all the rose-colored peaks of the sierras upon the slope of the hill as it fell away toward grenada were the grapevines with huge clusters of grapes purple white and red weighing down the vines there were two terraces where the raisins dried and nearer the house were the drying sheds where an army of packers pressed the raisins under boards and carefully sorted them before packing the vineyards were beautiful but even more so were the orange groves and one who has seen a grove in full fruit never forgets the beautiful sight the trees are deep green in color and full of leaves many of them bearing at the same time flowers and green and ripe fruit the children were wild with delight and ran about eager to see the picking and sorting of the fine fruit for the oranges of santa oolalia were famous for size and quality the trees grew rather low to the ground and were covered with fruit which the pickers were gathering ladders were put up to the lower branches and each picker carried a basket swung to his neck by a cord he carefully picked the oranges one at a time and dropped them in his basket and so expert were many of them that it seemed as if they had scarcely mounted the ladder before the basket was full many young girls were employed as pickers and they were particularly skillful vine with the men in their swiftness very gay were their voices and mary just and song and live into the work until it seemed as if it were not work but play fernando and juanita hopped about like little rabbits eating the fruit which rolled to the ground for often the golden globes fell from the trees as they were shaken by the picking when the baskets were filled the oranges were carried to the sheds and left overnight to harden the skins a little when each orange was wrapped in soft tissue paper for this are employed young boys and girls and very expert they grow in the wrapping of the oranges each one being properly wrapped with but a twist of the hand the next thing is the packing and the oranges are stored away in wooden boxes and are ready to be shipped to market the children ate so many oranges that they scarcely wanted any of the lunch and prepared for them at the hacienta there was an omelet with green peppers a delicious salad some foul and tiny round potato balls all sprinkled over with chopped parsley with a huge dish of oranges and grapes for dessert the senora insisted upon a little siesta after luncheon but fernando's eyes were so wide open that he could not close them as he swung to and fro in the great hammock between two orange trees in front of the house he was delighted when his father sat down beside him in one of the big easy chairs and said you look to me like a boy who would like to hear a story indeed i would please tell me one said fernando have you ever heard about the judges of pedro the cruel no papa said fernando all interest a long time ago there ruled over andalusia a king named pedro and he was so disliked by his subjects and did so many wicked things that he was called pedro the cruel he lived in the city of sevilla and though he was cruel and often heartless still he had a strong sense of justice which would not allow the common people to be badly treated he found out one day that four of his judges had been cheating the people and taking bribes and he determined to teach them a lesson he went to his favorite gardens those of the alcazar and sent for the judges to come to him there it is a wonderful place even today and then it must have been very beautiful huge banana trees waved their rough green leaves above the tangled beauty of the flower beds where jasmine and violets and roses grew in profusion in the midst was a fountain and don pedro knelt beside it smiling wickedly as he placed upon the perfumed waters five oranges cut in halves and placed flat side down the reflection was so perfect that anyone would be deceived and think they were whole oranges floating upon the water how many oranges are there here ask the king smiling genially and the judges replied ten may it please your gracious majesty nay but it does not please my gracious majesty to have four fools for judges he said liars can you not see that there are but five and he raised two of the halves and held them together no oh unjust judges he said sternly that the king's servants must see more than the surface of things if they are to conduct that portion of the realm which it is their business to attend to and since you cannot tell a half from a whole per chance that is a reason of the tales i hear of your ill dealings with the property of some of my subjects he ordered them to be beheaded and their places filled with better men and the poor people whom they had defrauded had their property restored to them there are many other stories of king pedro which are not pleasant to tell and it is good to remember that he sometimes did kind things thank you said fernando what is the alcazar where the gardens were it is a very remarkable place and when you go to sevilla you will see it at first hundreds of years ago when the romans were in spain it was the house of cesar afterward the moors turned it into a fortress and it is a perfect example of moorish work don pedro rebuilt it and spent a great deal of money upon it making it the most beautiful palace in all spain all manner of things happened there among them the murder of don pedro's half-brother don fadrique who he was afraid would lay claim to the throne but here come your mother and juanita and i think your rest time is about over go and play and tell manuel we return at four o'clock so you must be on time so fernando spent a delightful afternoon in the orange grove and drove home through the cool twilight passing the paseo just as the band was playing the martial real the national song which he hummed until he went to bed end of

feast day of the headmaster and we have a holiday may i have permission to go to the hill to see antonio not by yourself my son replied his mother and fernando said hastily oh no no madre mia manuel says that he will take me if you will permit me and if juanita's nurse could be spared we could take the nina as she has never been there and that would give her pleasure let me see his mother paused a moment the day is fine this morning i am busy but after luncheon i will drive thither with the little one and leave you for an hour while i go to the villa of senora sanchez but you must be a good boy and mind manuel yes mother and you will see antonio whom i like best of all the boys at school said fernando and he hastened a way to make ready for the great treat a drive with his mother in school hours was a pleasure seldom indulged in and a visit to the great hill which crowns granada was treat enough but to take juanita these were things so pleasant that he said to himself i think my guardian angel must have whispered in my mother's ear to give me all this pleasure it was about two o'clock as they drove through the narrow streets of the city up the steep and hilly way which led to the outskirts of the town you are going to see the nicest boy in granada and the most wonderful castle in spain nina said fernando to juanita and the two children chattered merrily as the carriage went slowly up the hill here is a riddle i heard at school nina see if you can guess it guarded in a prison straight ivory jailers round her weight venomous snake of sanguine hugh mother of all the lies that brew i do not know said his little sister wonderingly she thought all that fernando said and did was perfection what is it nando why the tongue of course he said pleased to have given a riddle which she could not guess and his mother said that is a very good riddle and i hope you will remember it for it is the tongue which makes much mischief in this world remember that a stone and a word flung do not return there is mazo following us said juanita and her mother said laughingly really fernando i don't see why you like that dog so much he is uglier than piquillo footnote paquio was a man so ugly that his name has passed into a proverb in spain he isn't handsome but you have told me that handsome is as handsome does said her son and his mother laughed again oh what is that cried juanita as the carriage made a turn and some splendid great towers came into view that is the alhambra said fernando it is the most wonderful castle in spain manuel said it was begun in 1238 in the reign of the moorish king ibn el-amar and it was years and years in building he says the moors used to have the castle and the city of granada and i read in my history of how the catholic king ferdinand came here to conquer it he fought and fought but the moors wouldn't give it up i think they were a brave people if they were beaten don't you yes my son they were very brave but they did such cruel things to the captives they took that it is not surprising that the spaniards wanted to conquer them said his mother they captured christian girls and forced them to become their wives though what they wanted with them i cannot see for they already had many wives and i should think one was enough for any man where shall we find your friend fernando if you wish i will leave you with him for an hour and continue with my drive oh thank you mother i knew you would let me stay quite fernando and juanita said please leave me two mother that i may see antonio in the great palace antonio lives within the palace mama said fernando he was born there and he and his sister papita have never been away he is to go to the english school at gibraltar but not until he is bigger may we ask someone where he is certainly he must be a nice boy to have lived always in such a place and to have you so devoted to him there is a guard ask him where the apartments of the boy's father are she said to manuel who sat upon the box with the coachman further inquiry however was not necessary for as the carriage made its way up the broad drive shaded with magnificent elm trees which the duke of wellington planted a boy came bounding toward them there he is cried fernando antonio come here we have come to see you the carriage stopped and fernando hopped out as slightly as a squirrel giving antonio a good hug for spanish boys are never ashamed of showing that they like their friends antonio's cap was off in a choice and he smiled and bowed as fernando presented him to his mother and little sister antonio was a handsome boy with eyes as dark and blue as the sapphire of the spanish skies and fair hair tossed back from an open brow all spaniards are not dark and in andalusia the province in which granada lies there are many blondes i will leave fernando and juanita with you for a visit said the senora graciously will you bring them here in an hour see senora said antonio but if you would so honor us the senora my mother has prepared a little luncheon in the garden of lindaraya at four o'clock and she would be most happy if you would partake of it with us thank you then i shall allow the children to remain with you until that time and i shall myself prolong my visit with my friends at the villa she replied when i return i shall do myself the pleasure of meeting your mother so she drove off and the children tripped happily away followed closely by manuel and dolores for spanish little ones of good family are never allowed to go about alone however one must relax a little sometimes and the two attendants saw a pleasant hour before them as they sat idly about while the children played in the wonderful gardens of the palace papita antonio's sister was about a year older than juanita and the two little girls were quite happy together and the boys did not consider themselves too big to play with them they played hide and seek through the marble halls and tag and chaser about the flower beds the little girls played house and made mud pies although dolores objected to this and told juanita that she would be as dirty as the casada de borgios if she were not more careful footnote the housewife of burgios who prided herself on her neatness yet who was seen to spit in her frying pan to see if it was hot enough juanita thought papita was wonderful because she had been born in a palace and her father was custodian of the wonderful place but it was antonio who claimed her greatest admiration he was even more marvelous than fernando she almost thought because he was bigger and his eyes had such a kind and merry look and he always carried her over the rough places in his strong young arms and lifted her over the walls as they strolled through the gardens she had never seen gardens as these of the alhambra they were full of the most beautiful flowers and there was the most delicious scent in the air antonio told her it was from the wall flowers which grew here in great profusion and were twice as large as they were in other places but besides them there were great trees of purple heliotrope the blooms as large around as juanita's big hat and geranium trees taller than a man with orange trees in bloom late though it was and with the ripe fruit upon their branches also then the children had a charming luncheon on the grass for antonio's mother set forth for them all manner of good things a dainty salad with some cold meat thick chocolate in tiny cups and cakes in the daintiest of shapes what a merry picnic it was beneath the shade of the great orange tree which antonio told them had been there for over a hundred years and from which the great american washington irving had picked fruit when he lived at the alhambra then when the party was over and his mother had not come fernando said antonio tell us a story you know some about the castle i am sure and little juanita begged do please tell us juan antonio and as nobody could ever resist the nina's wistful brown eyes antonio smilingly began the story of the three sisters end of chapter four recording by jill ingle chapter 5 of our little spanish cousin this is a librivox recording all librivox recordings are in the public domain for more information or to volunteer please visit librivox.org recording by jill ingle our little spanish cousin by mary f nixon roulette chapter 5 antonio's story once upon a time antonio began there were in the palace of the alhambra three princesses whose names were zade zaraida and zora they were daughters of the sultan for it was in the days when the moors reigned in granada and there were no christians here but captive spaniards the princesses were kept in a tower called the tower of the infantas one of the most beautiful towers of the alhambra it was fitted up in a manner befitting the home of the king's daughters the walls of the room were hung with tapestries and cloth of gold and royal blue the devons were heaped high with pillows the pillars and arches which held up the roof itself were in filigree of softest hues blue terracotta and gold the princess zade's chamber was the richest all in cloth of gold since she was the eldest in fonta that of the raid was hung with steel mirrors burnished bright for she was most fair to look upon and loved to look upon herself while that of the youngest little brown-eyed princess zorajeda was delicate in tone as if some rare jewel lay in a dainty casket upon the princesses waited the discreet cadiga an elderly dwena who never let them from her sight for a moment she watched them as a cat does a mouse but there was one thing she could not control and that was the eyes of the princesses they would look forth from the windows and indeed this cadiga never forbade for it seemed to her a pity that three such fair maidens should have so little amusement and she thought it could not possibly hurt them to gaze into the gardens below one day while the princesses were looking out the narrow windows they saw something which made them look and look again yes it was true could it be it was they were the very same the three christian princes whom they had seen at celebrena but here they were laboring as captives at the tourney to which the princesses had been taken they had seen these noble knights and had fallen in love with them and it was for this that their father had shut them up in a tower for he had said no daughter of his should marry a christian but the knights thought differently and they had come to granada in the hope of finding their princesses and had been taken captive and were compelled to hard labor it is he cried zade the knight with the scarlet tunic is the one i saw yes but the one in blue he is mine cried's a raid little zora haida said nothing but she looked with all her eyes at the third night and this was not the last time she saw him for the knights had come thither bent on rescuing the maidens and had bribed their jailer to help them to escape so one moonlight night when the moon was turning into silver beauty the orange trees of the garden and shining in fullest light into the deep ravine below the tower of the infantas the knights awaited their lady loves in the valley below and cadiga let them down by a rope ladder all escaped in safety but little zora haida and she feared to go leave me she cried i must not leave my father and at last since they could not persuade her to go they rode sadly away without her and her little white hand waved a sad farewell to them from the window there she still is so say the legends and there are those who walking in these gardens at midnight tell that they have seen a white hand wave from the tower window and a voice whisper through the murmur of the fountains or oh antonio has thou seen her cried juanita and her brother laughed and said little foolish one it is but a story but antonio tell us a tale of battle for this is but a woman's story and there have been splendid deeds done in this old castle splendid ones and sorry ones as well said antonio who was old for his 12 years and had lived so long in the atmosphere of romance that he seemed part of it in speech and manners shall i tell you of the taking of the alhambra from the moors it was a glorious fight and both sides were brave men then he told them of the conquest of granada when christian knight and moore fought valiantly for the possession of the splendid city with its gem the alhambra he told of how the noble knight juan de vega was sent to demand tribute from muli ben hassan king of granada and that fierce old monarch said return to your sovereigns o spaniard and tell them that the kings of granada who paid tribute are all dead my mint coins only swords brave words but it was his son bob dyl the unlucky who was forced to surrender the castle to the victorious enemy and who handed the keys to the spaniards as he rode through the gate of the siete suelos saying go possess these fortresses which allah has taken from me but grant me this one boon that none other shall pass under this gate from which i have come out and ferdinand granted his request and walled up the gate so that from that day to this no one has passed through that entrance these and other tales antonio told them and the afternoon passed so quickly that the children were surprised when their mother's voice warned them that it was time to go home oh mama they cried must we go and the senora smilingly waited a little chatting with antonio's mother while he picked a huge bunch of flowers for the children to carry away with them then the goodbyes were said and they drove away crying come soon to see us antonio to which he replied in pleasant spanish fashion thank you well and very much for your visit isn't he a nice boy said juanita quite a little don her mother answered smiling fernando i am glad to see that you have the sense to choose your friends so well and fernando grind boy like well pleased oh who is that juanita asked as a fantastic figure approached that is a gypsy king said her mother you know the gypsies live all huddled together there below the alhambra and they have a chief whom they call king they are a lazy set doing little but thieving and telling fortunes they live in little burrows like rabbits set into the hillsides and there are pigs goats and dogs all living together with the people that girl with the king is very pretty said fernando with her black hair and eyes and her bright skirts and the pomegranate flower behind her ear the pomegranate is the flower of granada you know said his mother and it does look pretty in her dark hair hear her call her dogs gypsy dogs are all named malampo gubalon or lubina after the shepherd dogs who followed the shepherds and saw our lord at bethlehem jesus maria jose you must not sneeze drive faster diego and dolores wrap the baby in that palencian blanket so soft and warm the nights grow cool quickly at this time of year why do we always say jesus maria jose when people sneeze asked fernando it has been accustomed so long that people have almost forgotten why it is done replied his mother but i remember my grandmother saying once that her mother told her the reason years and years ago in 1580 there was in all andalusia a terrible plague called the mosquito people sneezed once and lo they had the plague and little could save them though some few recovered so it grew to be the custom when one sneezed for those who heard him to look pittingly upon him and say dios les are you they or god help him or call upon the holy names to help him saying jesus maria jose or jesus mary and joseph see that ragged beggar mama said juanita may we not give him something as a little boy came hopping along beside the carriage crying lustily una the most now poor el amor de tio signora and alms for the love of god i have no sentiments coppers said the senora and it is not wise to give more to a beggar but you can always give politeness nina and when you have no money say perdoname usted pardon me your grace or poor el amorde dios for the love of god and thus you will not give offense to god's poor end of chapter 5 recording by jill ingle chapter 6 of our little spanish cousin this is a librivox recording all librivox recordings are in the public domain for more information or to volunteer please visit librivox.org recording by patty cunningham our little spanish cousin by mary f nixon relay chapter six the holidays fernando had been three months in school and was beginning to grow tired when it came time for the feast of christmas and he was very happy in the thought of all he was to do and see during his holiday he and juanito were very much excited in preparing their nacimiento which nearly every spanish child has at christmas time this is a plaster representation of the birth of christ there are in it many figures a manger surrounded with greens the baby our lord saint joseph and the blessed virgin the wise men worshiping the holy child and the angels hovering near as well as the patient oxen ass who were his first worshipers juanina was wild with excitement as these were all grouped and set in place she was only four and did not well remember the christmas before so that it was all new to her christmas eve there was a grand family party all the relatives coming to the home of fernando and partaking of a supper of sweet meats and wine in the morning there was of course early mass in the great cathedral where the choir sang divinely it started way up in the loft to sing the odesse fidelis the church's christmas hymn for centuries slowly coming nearer and nearer and juanita thought it was an angel choir until she saw it come into sight and the glorious voices rolled forth in a volume of song then the children had breakfast and they made their aguinaldo for every servant on the place expected a present as surely as did the old of southern days the postman the eren boy the porter the cerino who walks the street all night with his lantern trying your door to see if it is locked properly and assuring you that all as well as the hours strike all must be remembered then the senora took the carriage and the children accompanied her as she filled it with sweet meats for the poor children and such of her special proteges as could not come to the house for their aguinaldo it was a cold day for grenada grows cold in the winter time and is not like other spanish cities which have summer all the year the wind sweeps down from the sierras and brings with it a blustering hint of mountain snows and as the houses have no furnaces and seldom good stoves to heat them even the rich can suffer and the poor do suffer bitterly while the sun shines it matters not for the sun of andalusia is so warm and bright that it blesses all who lie beneath it but when the dark days come or evening's mantle falls upon the town people hover close about the resero and long for summer with fernando it mattered little for he was seldom still enough to be cold and he spent a merry christmas falling asleep to dream of delightful things and waking to the happy thought that it would soon be the feast of the circumcision this is new year's day and is celebrated with much festivity in spain the evening before there was a grand party for the grown-ups and slips of paper passed around one being drawn by each person they are in pairs so that the one who draws number one must go to supper with number one and a great merriment is made over the pairing off of the guests the gentleman has to send a bunch of flowers or sweets to the lady whose number he draws and not a few matches have been made in spain by this merry custom fernando and juanita however were quite otherwise engaged they were sent early to bed and were dreaming of the sugar plums of the morrow wondering whom they would first meet for they think in spain that what happens to you on new year's day will determine the course of the whole year if you meet a pauper you will have bad luck but if you see a man with gold in his pocket you will have money all the year merrier still was the feast of the three kings which is the day upon which little spanish children have gifts made them as american children do at christmas this is in honor of the wise men having brought presents to our lord on that day so that on the eve of january 6th the feast of the epiphany fernando and juanita set their little shoes on their balcony with a wisp of straw to feed the magi's horses and with many surmises as to what they would find on them on the morrow what wonderful things there were fernando had all the things that boys love tops marbles balls and a fine knife while juanita had a wonderful dolly and all manner of dainty things for her to wear the three kings never make one feel like the governor of cartagena said fernando as he tossed his new ball and lovingly fingered his knife but there is still another gift for thee and thy sister said his father and he led them to the door there stood a wonderful little donkey his bridle decorated with streaming ribbons and bells his kind eyes blinking as he turned his head and seemed to say hello little master are you and i going to be great friends oh papa is that for us cried fernando while juanita clapped her tiny hands with the light it took fernando but a moment to spring on the donkey's back but his mother cried warningly be careful son remember how the little prince of grenada rode too fast through the streets and fell from his pony and was killed have no fear her husband said smiling the donkey will not go fast enough to hurt him that is why i selected him and he placed juanita up behind her brother bidding manuel walked beside them while mazzo unbidden jumped around everything else that fernando had sank into insignificance when compared to the little donkey which he named baby aka in which he and juanito rode whenever they had a chance fabiaka was a kind little beast though somewhat of a rogue he seemed to know that he must play no tricks when juanita rode him and he behaved himself well but when fernando rode it was quite another matter babieco would prick up his long ears and go along quietly then stop suddenly without saying buy your leave and of course fernando would go over his head he would not hurt himself at all and the naughty little mule would look at him wonderingly as if to say now what on earth are you doing down there fernando soon grew to expect such antics and was on the lookout for them when saint anthony's day came of course bobby aka had to go with the other four-footed friends of the saint to be blessed and insured from all harm through the year the 17th of january is the day of saint anthony patron of mules horses and donkeys and a grand parade took place all the people of the town who had such animals drove them down to the church to be blessed and to get a barley wafer many of the animals were gaily decorated with streamers and ribbons and some with flowers and all along the street small booths were set up containing little images of saint anthony and barley cakes babieca behaved very well at his blessing though his refractory tongue did try to nibble the priests stole but some of the horses kicked in nade and with the brain of the many donkeys and mules there was a den not often heard in stade grenada there were no more fets for the time being and fernando a trifle spoiled by all the gaiety had to return to his studies again it was a long month before carnival time but his thoughts went forward to that delightful season and it seemed to the little boy as if it would never come however as all things come to him who will but wait the great day arrived at last and fernando was wild with joy carnival time is just before the beginning of lent and is a season of great merriment under a turquoise sky with no clouds to mar its fairness there is a pageant almost like those of the days of chivalry and fernando and juanita attended by their faithful manuel and dolores saw it all fernando dressed as a page and his sister as a court lady of the days of isabella the catholic and they were masked as are all the people who throng the streets on these gay days sunday monday and tuesday the carnival continues each year and the children are asked to little dances at the houses of friends and also to hear student choirs sing and to see plays but what they most enjoy is mingling in the crowds upon the paseo throwing confetti at those who throw at them seeing the flower decked carriages the wonderful costumes monks nuns generals court ladies flowers animals all are represented all are laughing and throwing confetti right and left children are selling confetti crying shrilly confetti five centimos a packet showers of a million colors only a perro chico oh how gay and delightful it all is juanita saw much and dolores lay down at night thanking the saints that the carnival lasted but three days but fernando saw everything and poor manuel's legs were weary as he kept pace with his little master now here now there now everywhere laughing ingesting the merriest lad in all the carnival alas it was all over ash wednesday dawned dull and heavy the weather is sad and sorry as the day fernando dragged himself to church where his brow was marked with ashes according to custom and gaze longingly at the end tierra de la sardina a bit of pork the size and shape of a sardine buried to show that the fast had begun for no one in spain eats meat on ash wednesday and very little of it in lent fernando looked so depressed at supper that his mother asked him what is the trouble little son are you ill no mama he said but it is so long till easter not if you do not think about it said his mother with a smile do your work with a will and the days will pass quickly if you are a good boy you shall have a treat at easter oh what will that be he asked and juanita cried eagerly shall i have it too both of you the mother said your father is going to take us to sevilla to see the grand easter festival and we shall see your brother and sister as well and your cousins and your aunt isabella so you must be good children indeed we will cried both joyously at the thought of so much pleasure end of chapter 6 recording by patty cunningham chapter 7 of our little spanish cousin this is a librivox recording all librivox recordings are in the public domain for more information or to volunteer please visit librivox.org our little spanish cousin by mary f nixon relay easter and sevilla what a gay and charming time it is flowers are everywhere blooming in beauty and all the people seem joyous in the thought that the long season of fasting is over fernando and juanita had arrived in the city on the saturday before palm sunday and were wild with delight at seeing their cousins marikita pepita and angel and looking forward to the delights of the week's holiday with its processions and feats beginning with the beautiful procession of the poems on palm sunday all through holy week are the processions and celebrations and the little folk thoroughly enjoy them their older brother and sister were there also and full of wonderful tales of what they had done at school fernando thought pablo was a wonderful being and that everything he did was perfect he could hardly wait until he himself was big enough to go away to college and little juanita felt quite the same way about agustia he would learn many things in the convent indeed nina she said it is pleasant at school with the girls but mother justina makes one work so hard and that the play hours are few i have embroidery to make in lessons to say and my class learns french as well as castilian but the other girls are charming most of all i like paquita de guiterrez in americana at least she comes from the island of cuba and the girls say that she is an indian and that her mother was an indian princess married to her father a noble spaniard of this i cannot say and she herself does not relate but she says in cuba the spaniards have often married the indians and have been kind to them and have not destroyed them as have the americanos in the estados unidos well nina paquita is the merriest of girls she has always some prank to pull upon someone and indeed she cares not if it is the mother superior herself so she can have her joke her aunt's good sister mercedes is always fretting for fear lest akita should be in disgrace but it worries akita not at all one night she did the funniest thing there was one girl who was very mean to the little ones always teasing them and they dare say nothing as she is the niece of mother superior and she believes nothing against her this teresa alcantara found one little girl and teased her until paquita could stand it no longer and flew at teresa and bit her hand sister turned at that moment and saw the bite but she had not seen what had gone before and would not listen to what i tried to tell her and paquita is always too proud to make excuses and just looked at sister so fiercely from her great black eyes that sister was still more displeased thou art but a savage wildcat she said and took her to mother superior for punishment she could not have any play time for a whole week and she would have to apologize to teresa too but i think she hated that the worst of anything but she got even with her as you shall hear she found out that teresa was terribly afraid of cats and one night when we were all safely tucked away in our little beds there came from behind theresa's curtain a terrible scream as she jumped out of bed and rushed up and down the dormitory such a breach of decorum was never seen before and the nuns were shocked to a degree theresa kept shrieking a wild beast is on my bed a wild beast is in my bed and after calming her down they went to investigate what do you think they found a feather duster it was tucked under the sheets and who could have put it there no one knew but everyone felt that pakita was the only one who could have thought of such mischief but the sisters did not try to find out for one of them had seen teresa teasing the little girl and knew why pakita disliked her so much and after that the big bully let us little ones alone oh it must be so nice said juanita pablo left and said that those things were girl stories and that far more exciting things happened at the naval college especially when they all went on a cruise on easter sunday morning the children went to the cathedral to see the wonderful dances which take place but three times a year fernando and juanita were struck down with the beautiful cathedral so unlike the gothic one of granada for this one at sevilla is a saracenic church built hundreds of years ago begun by the moorish sultan yavak al-onsar in 1184 how strange it seemed to see dancing in church fernando and juanita sat beside their mother on their little camp stools for there are no pews in spanish churches the whole center of the church is empty and the people kneel there during mass or if they are too tired or too little to stand they rent camp stools for half a cent and an old woman who has them in charge hobbles along with a stool which they may keep while the service lasts the men generally stand and it is interesting to see them settle themselves in a comfortable position when the sermon begins and stand there almost without moving the preacher speaks sometimes a half an hour sometimes a whole hour but the heroes do not seem to mind for these spanish monks are very fine preachers as the children gaze at the beautiful altar covered with flowers there came a sound of music violins flutes flagellates and hot boys all making a quaint harmony and with the music was mingled the sound of youthful voices fresh and sweet and a band of boys entered the chainsaw and glided down the altar steps dance quietly singing as they danced their bodies swayed to and fro in time to the music at first slowly then the time quickened castanet's clicked with the other sounds and the boys moved faster and faster still in perfect time yet did not with wild abandon but rather with dignified respect for the place for they were quaintly dressed in the court costumes of the middle ages on their heads were big spanish hats turned up at one side with a sweeping blue feather a mantle of light blue was over one shoulder their vest were of white satin and their hoes and shoes of white the boys danced on and the great bells of the gorlada rang out and then they vanished the music grew softer and softer until its last strain sounded far away like a floating wave of heavenly harmony how pretty the dance was said little juanita as they walked home from the service why did they dance in church the holy scriptures say david danced before the lord her mother answered so perhaps that is the reason the savians think this is a form of worship but you must ask your cousins to tell you how it was first done do tell me marikita said the little girl and her cousin said i do not know how it happened at first but it has been done ever since the moors were here in sevilla only once in hundreds of years has it been stopped and then an archbishop said it's not right to have dancing in church he made everyone very angry for the people said what our fathers did is good enough for us so they went to the pope and he said that he could not tell unless he saw the dance so the boys and musicians were taken to rome and their dance before the holy father who said i see no harm in this any more than the children's hosannas before our lord when he entered jerusalem let them have their dance so long as the clothes which they wear may last then they came back and so determined were they to continue it forever that they never let the clothes wear out to this day if one piece of suit shall be worn it is so quickly mended or repaired that no suit has ever worn out all at once and so these are the same suits as those worn long ago i'm so glad they still have it said fernando for i wouldn't have missed seeing it today for anything end of chapter 7 chapter 8 of our little spanish cousin this is the librivox recording all librivox recordings are in the public domain for more information or to volunteer please visit librivox.org our little spanish cousin by mary f nixon rowley chapter 18 rainy days mama would you allow me to go to the ball fight with father and pablo asked fernando next day no indeed my son a ball fight is no place for women and children his mother replied i've never been to one in all my life and juanita shall never attend i wish pablo did not care to go either but he must do as he wishes now that he's grown a boy cannot always be at his mother's girdle but you must be much bigger than now before you will see such a sight fernando sighed but he knew that there was no use saying more for the word of la madre was law he was very anxious to see a bullfight for every boy in spain desires that above all things the fights are held on all holidays but the finest one of all is at easter the immense amphitheater of sevilla holds thousands of spectators men wild with excitement over the sport and even women though the most refined ladies do not frequent the corridas the bull is turned loose in the center of the huge ring and tormented until he is ready to fight men with sharp pointed darts called bandarias tease him by throwing their barbs at him and pricking his skin until he's nearly crazy then men mounted on horseback the picadores wave scarlet cloths before his eyes exciting him still more for bull hates red worse than anything in the world he dashes at the cruel cloth and sometimes he's too quick for the man who carries it tossing him on his horns but generally it is a poor horse who is killed and the man jumps away to safety the matador is the one who slays the ball and he sometimes killed himself it is a terribly cruel affair though spaniards say it is not so cruel as our rice fighting it was late that evening when fernando went to bed and near he did so there was quite an excitement they were all seated upon the piazza of the house he and jonita his cousins and their elders when there was a great cry from the street the toro the toro and the clatter of horse's hooves all screamed loudly for to have a bull escape from the pens is a frequent occurrence and not a very pleasant one the cries became louder the horse's hoof speed nearer and nearer and as in the dusk a figure dashed down the street the senora screaming loudly called juanita to her and tried to climb the pillar at her side she was very stout and the pillar was very slippery and she could not climb with one arm so she slid down as fast as she climbed up squealing all the time el toro madre fernando was frightened too but he was a brave boy and he tried his best to push his mother up out of danger boosting her as she slipped down but not helping very much as you might suppose it seemed to him an hour but it was only a minute before servants came from the house and as they did so a horse dashed up before the pillars and stopped too hastily by his rider slid along the stones on his hind feet on his back was pablo waving his sombrero and crying what a corrida it was glorious six bulls to die and rosito never in such form that mother mia what is the matter as he sprang from his horse and assisted his mother to a seat the senora could not speak but fernando said we thought the noise was a bull escaped and i was assisting my mother to a height of safety pablo looked at the little figure speaking so gravely then threw back his head and shouted with laughter but seeing fernando's hurt expressions stopped quickly and said brother little brother thou art a good night to care for thy mother and sister better than thou his mother had regained her voice by this time thou art still the same pablo and will yet be the death of thy poor mother but pablo kissed her hand so gallantly and begged her pardon so amiably that she quite forgave him next day alas it was raining and it rained so hard all that day and nearly all of the next that the children were like little bears in a cage they played with everything they could think of but after a while they grew restless and quarreled so that the grown-up folk grew nervous too at last marikita's father gay and charming uncle rui came to the rescue who wants to take a trip into the country with me he asked and as each one squealed aye he said of course we can't go really but we can make believe and i shall take you to hacienda outside the old wall of sevilla it lies amidst orange and olive groves and all kinds of flowers and many of the things we eat come from that very place who knows how they pickle olives are olives pickled asked juanita and marikita said how queer it seems that all the things we eat have to go through so much before they can be eaten i did not know that all this had to be pickled yes me nina and we will play that we are visiting in olive grove and we can see the way the olives are picked and made ready for food see here are the trees and the fruit is picked from them and placed in baskets there are two kinds of olives used green and ripe the green ones are picked just before they begin to turn soft these are separated from the others and the bitter taste is removed by soaking in fresh water for a long time or some picklers soak them for a shorter time in a solution of potash lye this softens the skin and extracts all bitterness but the olives must be clear water which is frequently changed to get all the potash off then they are placed in weak brine and afterward in stronger until they have the salty taste which we like so much then they are put in small barrels and taken to the bottling rooms where they are bottled and labeled for the market how is the oil made asked fernando that is harder to do but it's very interesting to watch the fresh olives are carefully picked dried a little and then crushed old-fashioned stone mills are used to crush the fruit and the mass is pressed to extract the liquid which contains all the watery juice as well as oil and pop what do they do after it is pressed asked fernando they let it stand for a month and the refuse goes to the bottom then the oil is poured off and allowed to stand another month when the process is repeated after the third time the oil is ready for use the best oil is made in this way as it keeps its color and flavor better by the settling process than when it is filtered in some places the olives are placed on the platform and the millstone is placed over them this is turned around and round by means of a pole to which a donkey is hitched and the mass which is turned out is placed in rush baskets which is put under a press which is screwed down by five or six men so that the oil is squeezed out but that is a very old-fashioned way of making oil and there are better ways now they still use this however when there is a big crop and they want to get the fruit made into oil as rapidly as possible great care must be taken that everything is clean and that the oil does not become rancid or it will all be spoiled is everything we eat so interesting ask juanita the things we eat and wear too her uncle answered and nothing in all sevilla is more interesting than the way of making silk how is that done asked fernando i am afraid i could not make you understand it all unless you could go to the silk manufactory and even then it would be hard for you but i can tell you about the cocoons and that is the strangest thing about it this silkworm was first brought to europe from india in 5 30 when monks brought it to the emperor justinian the silkworm is a kind of caterpillar which feeds on the leaves of the white mulberry tree and lays his eggs in a kind of gummy substance on the leaves in the end of june to be hatched out in the following april the caterpillar is small at first about a quarter of an inch long but grows to be three inches in length by means of a substance in their mouths the silkworms spin out silky strands which form cocoons each fiber being about 800 yards long when ready for weaving the cocoons are placed in an oven at a gentle heat which kills the chrysalis so that the silk fibers can be removed and wound how do they get the silk wound doesn't it break fernando it is rather hard to do his uncle answered but they learn to be very careful and the cocoon is soaked in warm water which loosens the little filaments when the cocoons are reeled the first step has been taken and the real silk is called raw silk from which all silk products are made i wish we could see it all but perhaps we can sometime when we're here again said fernando oh it has stopped raining yes indeed and the goddard kiwa has overflowed its banks said pablo coming in at the moment there has not been such a frachet for years come along with me nando and we'll go boating in the streets i climb to the top of the giralda and the whole country looks like a great sea oh may i go with pablo and si cried fernando and his mother with many injunctions to pablo to take care of him said yes they went to the alcatha gardens those most wonderful gardens of spain and as it was early spring the flowers and insects were making mary in the sunshine which had come back with renewed force after its vacation scarcely tumbled by the rain lovely bank cirroses were climbing over the walls the rosy blossoming judas trees tinted acacias and pink almonds were in blossom and orange trees were bursting into fragrant beauty violets and tulips yellow oxalyls wild hyacinths and the scarlet dragonflower carpeted the ground while tall white lilies like fair maidens and stately iris with sword-like leaves reminding one of the knights of chivalry who once walked these paths stood sentinel down the walks fernando saw too the insects which flitted among the branches beetles with bright green coats like emeralds white and gold butterflies birds with brilliant wings and sweet voices pablo was thinking more of sport than on nature and he hurried along until they found a man in a boat to row them and what a gay sail they had right down the main streets of the town past the cathedral steps in the golden tower where columbus piled up gold brought from the new world civilian say and all the other interesting sights of the city so that fernando came home tired and happy to tell juanita of the wonderful things he had seen do not wonder that they say he whom god loves has a house in sevilla he said it is so beautiful a city truly he who has not visited sevilla has not seen a marvel said marikita boastingly but little juanita prattled in reply in the grenadino's favorite response to a granada no avisto nada who has not seen granada has seen nothing end of chapter eight chapter 9 of our little spanish cousin this is a librivox recording all librivox recordings are in

if he could never go back to school for after his week of faiths and processions and fun lessons were all dull things but he soon fell into old ways and there were so many pleasant things at home that he did not pine for sevilla at all he had a pet lamb what boy has not in springtime in spain and he was devoted to it for a while trying to feed it all manner of things manuel he said one day i do not know what is wrong with my pet lamb it will not eat the things i give it i have never seen so stubborn a thing muscle is far different it will eat anything but the lamb stands and stares at me and shuts its mouth no matter what i offer him lambs are always stubborn said manuel they do not eat much but milk when they are so young but here i have a new kite will you fly it indeed i will cried the boy in an instant the lamb was forgotten and he was skipping down the street his kite skimming the air like a gayly colored bird it was a beautiful spring in granada and fernando spent every minute outdoors unless actually compelled to be in school or in bed the family ate in a lovely patio where the flowers were beginning to blossom and the sun was not too warm to do without the awning which in summer stretched overhead if it was not kites in which he was interested it was marbles and balls or even a play bullfight and fernando was very proud when he was chosen to be toro and put his head in a basket work affair with points and horns the boys chased him with sticks running jumping and dodging when he turned and charged them as he heard that the bulls did at the real corridas best of all it was time to have his head shaved and of all things that was what he liked his mother mourned for the boy's hair was naturally curly and in winter was soft and pretty as black velvet but all spanish boys have their heads shaved in summer and fernando must be like the rest it was cut so close that it made him look very funny and his great black eyes shone like beads in his lean brown face with no soft hair to soften its harsh outlines fernando and antonio were still devoted friends they played together after school and on holidays and many delightful times did the two boys have either in the alejandra or at fernando's home where there were many city sites as interesting to antonio as to the delights of the old palace where to fernando so devoted had they become that fernando felt very sorry to leave his friend when the time came for him to accompany his mother and sister to their country home generally he had been delighted to go to the hacienda and enjoy the country school even more than the one he attended in the city but this year he felt so badly over it that his father said never mind my son i shall bring antonio to visit you when school is over and you may have a fine time together at the hacienda this made fernando more contented and he went away with his parents quite happily as they started for the country on a bright may day juanita said oh mama see that strange cow it's all dressed with flower reefs and has bells around its neck and flowers on its horns why does that young girl lead it and that old blind man walk behind and blow that horn and beat the drum that is a cow to be won in a lottery said the senura manuel stop i wish to buy a ticket how we spaniards do love a game of chance see i shall buy a ticket for each one of you and maybe your number will win the prize oh thank you mama both children cried for neither had ever had a lottery ticket before now i wish you to stop at a cigar store and buy a stamp for my letter to your aunt isabella and then we will drive on as they turned into the main street leading to the alameda juanita asks what are those people sitting in the streets making haven't you seen the ice cream makers before said the senora no i think you cannot remember last summer can you the gypsies go up to the sierras in the very early morning and get donkey loads of snow and the people make ice cream in those pails with the snow in it they sit right at their doors on the sidewalk and make fresh cream and anyone can buy a glass of it do let us have some cried the children and their indulgent mother ordered the horses stopped while they ate some of the delicious fresh cream and the carriage rolled on down the steep street so narrow that as manuel said one can hardly pass another after a full dinner the swineherd was just coming out for the day and juanita cried oh madre see the man with a pipe in his mouth what queer music he plays what is he he is the swineherd nina see he comes from his alley staff in hand the senor said watch him blow his pipe without turning his head and the pigs come after him as if he had charmed them little and big dark and light fat and scrawny there they come following him to the pasture every alley we pass adds some curly tail to the procession now he is ready to turn out of the town into that grove and see what an army of piggies follow him he never looks for any of them but they hear the music of his pipe and start because they learned long ago that it leads them to good pastures i think they are too funny for anything so the little girl does he bring them back at night yes every little piggy knows his own alley and goes right home with a little frisk of his curly tail to say goodnight said her mother smiling see those oxen are they not splendid fellows i love seeing them draw their loads so easily beautiful creamy creatures with their dark points and their great soft eyes what is that wooden thing over their heads ask juanita that is the yolk to couple them together they are the gentlest animals in the world these great horned beasts and the driver walks in front of them with his stick over his shoulder which he seldom thinks of using oh what a cunning little donkey cry the little girl as they passed a little donkey laden with panniers filled with flowers fruits vegetables bread fowls and even a water jar how pretty he is clipped all in a pattern mama said fernando some of the donkeys that the gypsies have clipped have motos and pictures on them i know a boy whose donkey has viva miamo long live my master on his side i don't like that for if the donkey doesn't love his master it is telling a story his mother laughed we will hope he has a good little master and then the donkey will care for him and not be telling a falsehood with his fur but here we are almost to the hacienda and how short the ride has seemed now if two children i know are good we shall have a delightful summer and although you are to be in the country and thou fernando will go to a country school remember the saying of thy fathers cuando fueres portes polado when you are in the wilderness do not act ill or when you are among the people you will do likewise end of chapter 9 chapter 10 of our little spanish cousin this is a librivox recording all librivox recordings are in the public domain for more information or to volunteer please

soon busy as a bee here of course to attend school where he was a country school not so strict nor so large as the city one and he enjoyed showing off his superior accomplishments to the other boys this the others did not relish and there was a grand fight to see which was the strongest and when fernando had ripped all the boys of his own size he was happy and felt that he had not disgraced the name of guzman manuel did not attend him in the country and fernando much enjoyed doing as he liked roaming about taking his own time to come home tramping about the orange groves or sailing boats in the brook when school was over and antonia came for the promised visit what mary times there were the boys went swimming at all hours they ran bareheaded all over the place mezzo after them their constant companion fernando had a few lessons to do each morning a master to teach him his french music and drawing for boys of his class in spain are accomplished as well as educated but these were soon over and then stung by the bees burned by the sun wet by the rain eating green oranges doing in fact what american boys or boys all over the world will do if let alone this was the way in which the two spanish boys spent their vacation joanita meantime was having a very happy time she too had a few lessons and her ayah was giving place to governors but she was still too young to learn much and the beautiful outdoors was a great lesson booked to her riding the beaker tagging after the boys suntan and rosie she grew strong and hearty and she never so happy as when allowed to go with her brother and antonio generally they took very good care of her and her mother felt that she was safe with the two boys fernando teased her a good deal but antonio was of a calmer mood and was always her gentle knight all manner of games were played by these happy children who with their little neighbors of the nearest hacienda made a merry group they were simple-hearted little folk and the boys had not reached the state described in the old spanish rhyme of the boys of madrid they should be robbing with us for they are only children yet but they will not play at anything except a cigarette no plays will cheer the prado in future times for them the little boys of seven will all be married men fernando and even the graver antonio entered into all the childish sports with the rest and a special favorite was a play very much like our london bridge is falling down called the gate of alcala two children are chosen to head the lines and called rose and pink they form an arch with their arms held up and their fingers locked and under this the other children pass-headed by the mother they sing gaily a little dialogue rose and pink to the wiper of love that hides in the flowers the only way lies here mother then there i pass and leave behind one little daughter dear rosen pink shall the first one or the last one be captive of our chain mother oh the first one runs so lightly the last one shall remain chorus pass on a whole pass on aliyah by the gate of alcala the last child with sequels of delight is caught in the falling arms and chooses whether she shall follow rose or pink taking her place behind one of her choice when all have been chosen there is a grand tug of war the merry party singing meantime rose and pink let the young mind make its choice as young minds chance to think now is rose your leader i'll go you with the pink let the young mind make its choice by laws the young heart knows now is thank you leader or go you with the rose chorus pass on o ho pass on aha by the gates of alcala the boys enjoyed playing soldier and would riddle toy swords out of the sticks and form in line marching and singing the catalans are coming marching two by two all who hear their drumming tiptoe for review aye aye tiptoe for a view red and yellow banners pennies very few ii pen is very few red and yellow banners the moon comes out to sea if moons had better manners she'd take me on her knee i should take me on her knee she peeps through purple shutters would i wear tall as she i i would either tell as she soldiers need not learn letters nor any schooly thing but unless they mine their betters in golden chains they swaying i i in golden chains they'll swing or sit in silver feathers presence from the king i i presence from the king the prettiest of all the games is that of the little white pigeons which all andalucian children love to play the little companions form in two rows and facing each other dance forward and slip beneath the unpraised arms of the opposite side thus they pass under the silver ox to sevilla and granada little white pigeons are dreaming of seville sun in the palm trees rose and reveal lift up the arches gold as the weather little white pigeons come flying together little white pigeons dream of granada glistening snows on sierra nevada lift up the arches silver as fountains little white pigeons fly to the mountains our little spanish cousins play nearly all the same games that american children play only the blind man's buff is called blind hen and once a corner is called cottage to rent and played with the rhyme college to rent try the other side you see this one is occupied the game of tag is called moon and the morning stars and is played by the child being chosen as the moon and falls to keep within the shadow the rest of the children being morning stars are safe only where it is light if the moon can catch a star in the shadow the star must become a moon and as the stars scamper in and out of the shadow all saying oh the moon and morning star moon and morning stars who dares to tread oh within the shadow hide and seek the children played and four feats and all manner of other games and as the sun nearly always shines in andalusia the summer was one long merry round out of door fun end of chapter 10 recording by tech savvy www.techsavvy.wordpress.com chapter 11 of our little spanish cousin

learn a great deal for the spaniards think if their girls are sweet and gentle they need not be very learned if a spanish girl of 16 knows how to read and write simple arithmetic a little history and condense and embroider well she is quite accomplished enough to marry which is what most of them intend to do things were going very quietly when there came an excitement so great for the children that they were almost wild this was the homecoming in the latter part of september of pablo just in from his long summer cruise with a fortnight's leave of absence he came home to celebrate his coming of age and there was to be a tertullia in his honor the children were to stay up to the party and as it was the first time that they had been permitted to stay up after eight o'clock they were delighted to them it was the greatest event in their lives and they were almost afraid to breathe all day for fear the treat would be cut off juanita even stood quite still to have her curls made which was generally a performance attended with agony and before the end of which her aya was sure to say mambru will certainly get you mambru is to a little spanish girl what a boogie man is to an american child and she will be very good to fear of mom brew but the day passed off pleasantly and the children were dressed and sent down to the patio to await the arrival of the guests the pleasant thing about a spanish party is that there is no fuss made and therefore everybody enjoys themselves the hostess never tires herself out preparing for her guests so that she cannot be cheerful and agreeable when they arrive the hospitality of spain is perfect a spaniard gives his friends just what is good enough for himself and never thinks of doing more so there was not a great brewing and baking on the day of the party and flushed heated faces but there were a few simple refreshments much pleasant talk and hearty laughter among old and young there were about 30 friends of the family who came in to talk and chat the parents came in with their daughters for girls never go to parties alone in spain and old and young spent the evening together someone played on the piano and the young people danced lovely trinidad del agustando dancing with pablo this juanita watched with delight trinidad was the loveliest of all the girls and she thought of course pablo should have the prettiest maiden in all the world she was as sweet as she was pretty and said to the little girl what is thy name ninja and when juanita answered sweetly juanita to serve god and you as all spanish children are taught to answer the nidad kissed her on both cheeks and gave her a rose from her girdle at this juanita was delighted and pablo sighed prodigiously the older people too seemed well pleased with pablo's choice for the girls family was as good as theirs and the two had been friends for many years juanita said fernando in a whisper i believe that pablo will bite the iron of the senorita trinidad will it not be strange to think of him beneath her window sinking of love to his guitar footnote spanish lovers stand beneath the windows of their sweethearts to serenade them every night and as the windows are greeted with iron this is called biting the iron end a footnote it will be beautiful beside the little girl for spanish children are always interested in the love affairs of their older brothers and sisters and even little girls talk about them how handsome pablo looks as he talks with her they are as fair as the lovers of te ruelle said old delores who was at the party to take care of her little charges tell us about them said juanita eagerly for she dearly loved dolores's quaint stories and then aya began in the town of tehruel there lived many years ago a spanish knight dun juan diego martinez de marcilla and he loved with all his heart dona isabel de segura alas unhappily for the fathers of the two lovers were enemies and would not listen to love between them thou art but a second son said don pedro they say gura the father of dunya isabel moreover thou hast not a fortune equal to that of my daughter who possesses thirty thousand swell those in good gold and is my soul heiress full well i know that i am in no wise worthy of thy fair daughter said don juan and upon her grace have i no claim save that she loves my unworthy self but since this is god's truth i pray you give me the chance to prove my devotion and i will furnish sufficient fortune to equal hers i go to the wars with my lord king sancho of navarre grant me five years in which to gain this fortune and give me your promise that for that length of time you will not force dona isabel to marry another dona isabel was very young and her father very fond and by this he could keep her with him five long years and moreover marry her to whom he pleased for he said to himself in that time both of them will forget and so he smilingly said your words have some reason go with god and if you return well and good my daughter shall not marry against her will for five years to this day but mark may rash youth not one day more shall she wait then the lovers bade each other farewell and don juan rode to the wars these were waged against the wicked moors and with knights and squires the armies of don alfonso of castile dom pedro of aragon and don sancho of navarre fought long and fiercely until at the great battle of las navas de torosa the moor was crushed many a valiant deed was done and on one was bravest of them all he broke through the chain which guarded the tent of the moorish king and thereby gained great glory and won for himself the right to wear a chain around the margin of his shield in honor of the day he gained great renown and fortune but alas he was sorely wounded and it was more than five years before he could return to his beloved he arrived in tehran but one short day after the time was up and found dona isabel married to another don pedro fernandez de azagra despairing he desired to see his beloved once more and climbed to her window on her wedding night finding her alone and her husband sleeping he implored her to give him one last kiss she refused him and said weeping amass you came not and i thought myself forgotten i am wedded to this good man and to him alone belong my caresses at this his heart broke and crying farewell beloved he dropped dead at her feet at that moment her husband awoke and she told him straightway the truth at which he said thou hast been cruel and unkind to this good man but to me faithful and true and i shall but love thee the more and he took the body of poor don juan and bore it secretly to his father's step and laid it down and fled away when the body of the night was found there was great mourning and he was given a grand funeral at the cathedral to which all tyruel came to do him honor there also came the unhappy dhonia isabel isabelle disguised so that none might know her and determined to give her lover in death the kiss which she had denied him in life she stooped to kiss his lips lo the eyes enclosed he smiled at her and they closed again and she fell beside him dead all were struck down with horror but don azagra came forward and told the mournful story whereupon the two bodies were buried in the same grave separated in life in death they shall be together said the generous knight who had been her husband but not her beloved and this is the sad sad story of the lovers a terrielle oh thank you dolores cried juanita and the young people who had gathered around to hear clapped their hands and thanked her too well thank you senorita ninitad would you have kissed your lover had you been dona isabel pablo asked of the young girl i should not have married the other man senor she said flushing prettily come trinidad you must sing for us cried one of her friends sing the song of santa rita and trinidad with a merry little glance at pablo sang the gay little song which spanish girls sing in jest asking santa rita to procure them a good husband [Music] send us now we pray thee fervently a millionaire for a husband in a blockhead though he be in so in so even so a millionaire for a husband a blockhead though he be end of translation everybody applauded loudly and trinidad laughing and blushing sang again the older people sat about serenely some talking others playing cards or dominoes the younger ones played sprightly games and talked like magpies and the children listened spellbound who art thou pablo laughed one and pablo answered merely saltero sin vanidad soy translation sister saltero without vanity i am lovely i am salado salado meaning charming witty gracious end of translation and everyone laughed and trinidad gave him a charming glance from under her black lashes refreshments were passed around very simple ones there were trays of water and by each glass round lumps of sugar which the guests dipped in the water and ate hard little cakes cups of thick chocolate into which finger cakes were dipped and eaten and some charming little bonbons there was no wine for although the finest wine in the world is made in spain the spaniards are great water drinkers and seldom have wine except at dinners the men all smoked but not the ladies for while mexican women sometimes smoke dentist spanish women do not later on pablo's health was drunk in tiny glasses of sherry as this was a special occasion and pleasant speeches were made to him wishing him all success in his career thou art now a man my son said his father proudly and affectionately remember that since the time of emperor charles v thy fathers have had the right to wear the golden key upon their hip footnote the noblest of the spanish grandes wear a golden key upon the hip to indicate that they have the right to enter the king's door at any time in the footnote and do nothing to disgrace thy name on the sword of my grandfather was engraved the motto do not draw me without reason nor sheth me without honor let this motto be thine own and remember that to a spaniard honor comes first the party broke up and fernando and juanita were trotted off to bed and sleepily murmured their evening prayer jesus joseph mary your little servant keep and with your kind permission i'll lay me down to sleep and they heard through the soft moonlight the tinkle of pablo's guitar as he strolled along to bite the iron beneath the greeting of the dainty senorita trinidad end of chapter 11.

Christopher Plummer on making Shakespeare accessible (Part 16 of 44)
just to get personal he made bach as accessible to me as a great actress at time yourself included make shakespeare accessible shakespeare left behind certain actors as like all these words as is bach but there was something about the clarity say of your leader it comes totally clear like glenn and bach well that's nice to know but i agree with you about glenn how do you do it i don't know i i i think with verse it started with me with my family who my mother who adored poetry and so i was used to reading poetry when very young and i used to read it in a very old-fashioned 19th century way because that was the way i'd heard other people reading it like um gilgood singing it on records and barrymore hamming it up on records and even people like uh i was lucky enough to have a recording of alexander moyesi you know the great hungarian actor who was hungarian german mix actor who was so prominent in the teens and the huge star and doing gertie in german my god you know november oh all the little uh reverbs in the voice and the tremolos and all those things and then suddenly i one day i thought this is ridiculous this is so awful why don't shakespeare particularly is so simple why don't you just read it simply because the words as long as you obey the rhythm the words are are so modern and so now why not just read it so i i started to do that in a conversational tone and i realized how effective that could be particularly the great moments which we will deal with later

How to Make Your Company Last 100 Years? | Slush 2023
[Music] good morning day two of slush hope you're all feeling well and welcome to slush John thank you what's the first uh slush impression like good good good it's good to be here it's good to be in Helsinki it's good to have snow and to have such a big audience so I'm very happy to be here thank you so usually at slush uh and events like these we talk about the new technologies the new products the new services that our entrepreneurs and Founders are building for the Next Generation but I think we're not that good as a community talking about what makes companies last what happens after founding them and after becoming uh a success story how do you make a company an organization last for 100 years and more and um we couldn't have thought of a better person than you John to join us on stage to talk about this how to make a company last for 100 years and more so we're talking about longetivity and also investing into new technology and new services to sustain and um last for 100 years yesterday last night when we met you went through a bit of the history and the founding years of a lot of the companies that are part of exor and I thought that would be a good starting point for the audience to share the same context so maybe you walk through a bit of kind of when were the companies founded that you were working with every day yeah well F first of all um Finland has has a long history of uh entrepreneurialism and uh and has companies that have been founded uh more more than 100 years ago which are still thriving and there are new companies like supercell and and many others who are younger companies but you also have companies like K and and others that have been here for a long time and are are very strong companies and great companies if if I look at uh what we are involved at exor and uh we we actually traced back over three centuries so stellantis which is a new company in in some ways as it's really been founded by the merger of FCA fat kryer and PSA uh in 2000 uh in 2021 so it's really we are in our third year of life it traces back in 810 when P was founded fat was founded in 1899 if if you look at cnhi which is agriculture equipment which are similar businesses that you have here in Finland that goes back to Jerome Cas which was an entrepreneur in Wisconsin in 1842 and Phillips which is our most recent uh company in which we've invested or the largest shareholder of Phillips is a company that traces back in 8 1891 so these are these are all companies that have been founded you know three centuries ago and and each in its own way is still in in business competing globally and and creating huge amount of innovation Ferrari is is the most recent one of them it was created the actual team sports team and I want to end with Ferrari because there's a very strong Affinity between Finland and Ferrari we were world champions the last time thanks to an incredible pilot Kimmy and Finland uh as maybe not of you know we not finish has an incredible amount of world champions in Formula 1 but not only in Motor Sports in general and and that's where uh originally Ferrari was uh founded in 1929 and then it evolved in 1947 so we celebrated the 75th Anniversary last year in into the company because the found in so ferar was really uh driven by Motorsports and he started to the company to fund his Motorsports activity yeah but that's pretty remarkable right all these companies such a history only a fraction of businesses survive this long what do you think is common for these organizations what has made them last for this long so F first of all you you need to be you need to be addressing a need in in large markets and you need to be able to compete Within within those large markets and the reality is if you last that long is that within those timelines there are many things that happen and not all the things that happen are are are good things and so the resilience that those companies and those organizations need to have is ultimately key in how they sustain success so it's not that much about how successful you are is about how much you overcome when you're not that successful and those are fundamentally both driven by internal problems but equally by external problems and the ability of the organizations of how you overcome external and internal and they could also happen at the same time is is what makes uh you you sustain over time continuing to be to be in business indeed um and it's a lot about people right the people who have the person perseverance to go through the hard times and you've of course to find it's all about the people and you've had to find these great leaders and the organizations have had to find these great leaders so what have you learned throughout these years in uh finding people who can go through both the ups and downs well I I I I I truly believe as as you do and slush is is a perfect example of what people are able to to do and and organizations are made of people and you you really need to make sure that the very frail moment is is successions and how you and how you're able to go through these succession processes and and sustain that a new group of of leadership is is able to be up for the challenges and the opportunities and and those are very delicate moments which is why our our strong believe is if you look at companies if you have an alignment between the ownership so who owns it you have an alignment between governance and you have an alignment between leadership that generally tends to to make these transitions work Founders Founders who operate their companies generally tend to be the freet together so they're the owners they run the board and they run the company so the ownership the governance leadership is combined in one person which makes it effective but as it evolves and and my great great grandfather the founder of fat used to say that a perfect board had to be uh an uneven number and three was too much and and that clearly has it it advantages in terms of speed uh and of course you you don't have much bureaucracy if if there's no one but on the other hand as organizations evolve as transition positions evolve you you somehow need to adapt to those and that is really a tricky moment where you need to try and keep that entrepreneurial Spirit but equally as as you scale you need you need more structure indeed and um it's the reality is that you will have more people than three right in your governance in your management team and ownership um what advice would you give from your Lessons Learned on how to align these interests right because there's a lot of people and they might have different kinds of interests or opinions um but you need to just get to a common ground to last right well I I feel that on one hand you need to have Clarity uh at at Inception so in some ways if you are uh if you are starting your company you need to be clear what you want to to build and and what's the timeline you you want to have and and then you need to align the ownership structure also with that and be very clear uh about how that that ultimately functions the reality is that when everything goes well it's super easy but the reality is that it never goes that well you know that never goes that way so you need to anticipate some of the real foundational questions about what what are your objectives is your is your ownership structure aligned with that is is your governance in sync and then there are difficult moments in which you also need to look at what happens inorganically like is is your company sus can it sustain itself just organically or does it need to make Acquisitions merge be acquired and and those are are really difficult uh moments where it's one decision and you need to be pretty surrounded by by making sure that when you have to make those decisions you are able to make the best possible decision for for the company and and where you put the priority in in that is is very important and and and those those do happen and they can create a lot of frictions and tensions and and if can somehow anticipate anticipate those it it is helpful yeah one thing I've learned that helps in decision- making is a clear set of values um what uh we as a company or ownership appreciate has there been a clear set of values that the family or or the ownership uh is following that would have helped in the decision making so first of all our culture is uh and I'm fth generation uh and and you can try back before that the founder of fat being being an entrepreneur and we're very much ingrained in in in being a culture of entrepreneurial spirit with financial discipline and and we feel that that's important to have those as guard rails uh are we we clearly are committed to building great companies which is the purpose we have and we have values which are really values that we feel are important because they are a way in finding the right balance so for example one of of our values is humility and ambition and often you could say that if you're ambitious youen humble or if you're humble you're not ambitious the reality is you can be both and you should be both and then it's a question of how you feel Harmony or patience and drive now often we say if you're Pati paent you don't drive if you push too hard you're not patient the reality is that you could be both and you should be both and you should be both in different circumstances yeah uh we often say it's not either or how to find the end so uh great to hear all right I think we could move on uh to talk a little bit more about technology Ventures how to invest in new you've recently set up a ventures unit right and also an early stage uh fund under or uh to invest in in new companies what led you in starting that so we um so men if if I if I look at Innovation and technology and um and and and the Venture space when when I was a student in uh engineering uh which was 25 years ago it's a long time ago and back then the two the the two biggest uh innovations that were occurring was mobile phones right mobile and internet and Finland was uh a a big a big player in it with this formidable company that was Nokia who went through a lot of transformations to really own the GSM and mobile market back then and a lot of my friends who were students were were all going in in indust that were enabled by those Technologies and um I I was also during that period very interested and involved with what was happening and uh I then ended up going and work with within our family business rather than starting something new but but that excitement of that period of time definitely remained and when Mobility a decade ago started to be this big female of innovation so from Cars went to the mobility space and and you feel today some of the pioneer istic spirits that you can trace back at the beginning of the car industry so if you look at the end of last cent 8 1890 to 1910 those 20 years when a lot of things were happening and just to give you an idea in in Italy alone you had more or less 100 car companies that were started in in those two decades um of which uh half of them were in chin which is the city uh I come from and where Fiat was was originally founded and and and that that was very vibrant in terms of what was happening in all the Innovation so we ended up being a lot approach a lot in are you interested in uh starting a company do you want to do this and so we we said to our maybe it's worthwhile being more systematic and trying to see how we actually can understand this problem is that corporate Ventures have historically been uh not performing that well so we clearly did not want to be a corporate Venture and that's what really uh people were somehow approaching us like dumb money or like the the opportunity of uh having a market on the other hand if you look at Venture Capital as an asset class is not a great asset class in aggregate what is really good with inventure capital is the the top performance inventure Capital so so when you look at the distribution of returns what what you see is that if you are in in the top performance that's where you do very well so the question is we don't want to be a corporate Venture we don't want to be inventure Capital but what we'd want to be is really to be if we if we actually are going to do this in in in the top cour at least in the top cortile and and so we started speaking with Venture funds who were in the top cortile and just trying to see in which ways we could we could participate and invest alongside and they gave us the right advice saying why would you do that just give us the money it's going to be much more simpler and then if there are interesting things we're happy to have like strategic conversations and we we felt that that made sense but on the other hand there were so many things that were coming our way and so with our colleague of mine uh Noam uh we we decided and one of our directors then was a venture capitalist called Mike vulpi uh who's one of the leaders of index and and he was very he felt we should really do that and so we decided to start and we started with with humility and it and back then we start started as a seed activity exor seeds and since then it it it has developed and we've been able to uh to form a real organization some of my colleagues are here also today and we we have now uh been been investing in different companies very much linked to the topics we're interested in Mobility healthc care uh We've also created last year and diala is is here a program in Italy called vento and V has now become the largest uh investor in in early stage in Italy and in Italian Founders and it really has two components of it early stage investing and also a venture building activity and and we're seeing a lot of traction there and and the good the good news is that within what happened in the industry with a very difficult 2022 it gave us more courage so in 23 we really decided decided to double down cuz we felt the UN Unicity of us being an entrepreneurial organization and not being a venture capital fund and neither corporate Venture Capital fund was really complimentary to what was needed in the market and and also that Founders really uh felt that what we were providing not not only more duration in terms of our Capital but Real Alignment in what they wanted to do that goes back to what we were discussing was interesting and and also finding Founders that actually were interested in building companies that would last more than 100 years exactly sounds like that uh soul searching and research period is paying off so congrats for that we don't know yet well at least it the seeds our plan venture capital is a long duration it is but you're also in the businesses of course doing research and development within the organizations and the business go through changes like um in the automobile industry electrical vehicles have become the thing of the decade I would say how did the businesses approach this change or these kinds of changes in general so the the good thing about um about change is that it forces you really to rethink what what you do and you generally have different changes you have technology changes internet or or AI you have Market changes like customer preference change and you have regulation changes and somehow within within the car industry now with a bigger definition the mobility uh industry you you basically had the free coming together right you have technology changes where Electronics is is a bigger part of of cars you have a customer preference change they want different uh experiences within the car and then you have a regulation change which are regulating towards electrification which which is really at the premise of why we we ended up creating stellantis stantis today has 15 Brands so the brands go from Jeep to pul to Fiat to Mazer and and more recently leap Motors in China so that's our 15th brand so we've we've uh actually this year uh announced that we are investing in one of the largest uh EV companies in China so we're going to be with the founders of the company their their partner and we will also be exporting those Vehicles so not only we'll compete in China which is the largest uh elect electric vehicle Market but we also will be able to export it is very exciting what we're seeing in stantis because we produce cars from a very small car like the Topolino Fiat which is the smallest Mobility device so you don't need a license fully electric uh two places great for uh but we also have the alfar TR incredible uh sports car and we also have e TS with our partnership with archer so what what is more known as flying cars the possibilities we see in Atlantis as as the mobility space grows is uh is incredible and the scale we were able to obtain through uh consolidating the market is one that today we can put to use with with the actual financial means and the talent and the capabilities to really capture exciting opportunities they're new competitors and the the biggest ones are Tesla in the western world and byd in in China and they they both are bringing incredible knowledge incredible capabilities and are making our industry very exciting so today if I speak with young Engineers or students of engineering where I used to study like when I was studying coming to work for a car company was really not that exciting and today I'd say that top of what the choices are are really to come and and and join us and join other other car companies in the industry so that's a big premise that if you have talented people wanting to work in an industry that there are interesting things that will happen that's amazing so if I'm hearing you right you're approaching this change both to through having your own teams built new technologies and you know hiring all s of new talents but then from top down seeing what technologies and new companies are being built and then working with the portfolio I think the the interesting part is really for us that we have two sides um so we we have most of of what we do is involved in companies that are evolving transforming and then we're also participating in the creation and formation of 21st century companies by the way one of our companies is is also an investment management company that we founded this year called lingotto lingotto is a jiga factory uh that was created a 100 years ago so 1923 this year is a cent Centennial and within lingotto we have very talented Investment Management uh colleagues and within lingotto we has also the Innovation fund and The Innovation fund is is run by James Anderson who is a legend and investing in technology and innovation and he has also very good team and by the way they're here uh with Morgan who works with him so there's a lot of innovation that that we end up doing in uh in in exor and and our related companies and we feel that going back to what you were mentioning about culture there is a cultural alignment so the fact that we have a scale and scope which is complex and and and getting more complex is is one that you can actually uh achieve in in in being involved in if you do have clear culture alignment because the real risk around all of this is and you all know that is if you expand too broad you become the risk is is you know becoming masters of mediocrity so you really need to be forcing yourselves and trying to really make sure that that what you end up doing is really worth well great so if I'm hearing right feels like a big part of the exort team is also here uh today and um to learn to learn but also to meet so uh if you're Keen to meet the team do reach out thanks so much for traveling all the way and spending the time with us here at slush thank you and have fun tonight I there's a big party here with a big that's it thanks all thank you sh

Migrations, Upgrades and Relaunches
all right uh so again uh welcome and excuse me if this might be a little disorganized because this talk was scheduled for tomorrow afternoon the last talk so and i found out that i had to give this talk today at 1 20 after midnight tonight so actually in the morning when i woke up uh but okay let's kick this off i'm going to talk about migrations upgrades relaunches and several other words that are associated with this universe um i want to start off with a real story that happened three weeks ago sorry that is really inappropriate maybe people wanting to know where my talk is it's a secret room okay uh a true story happened three weeks ago i was working for a company we did a job for them and i was migrating a small intranet small means like 10 gigabytes of data maybe from plone 3 to 4.3 and when i uh accepted that job i hoped okay we're going to redo the design add a lot of cool features that are new and exist in the world reorganize all that content because well that internet just looked like a data dump and that's how they used it but i was wrong on all three accounts uh because the customer was appalled by the very idea that actually anything changed while migrating this system from a four or five year old version to the newest one for example from my point of view the new tiny mce employment 4.3 is really great for the customer it was terrible because the preview button was missing in the add url form actually i like the preview button but that it's not a deal breaker but for them it almost was actually it was not then we could go online everybody was happy except for me so also the new collections in plone uh did not provoke like moans of pleasure but only ignorance but there were moans of pain when they realized that the old advanced search form from plan 3 was suddenly gone and replaced by something much more cool my point of view so what went wrong with this project is that the customer and the intermediaries did not think about this project as a relaunch but only as a version upgrade and also the customer had no idea what's possible and wishful in the 21st century in an intranet but that's nobody's fault another true story i migrated aside from plone 2.5 to 4.1 took me five minutes i just dumped the data in there and it was done so there was zero customization over the years i've migrated quite a lot of different sites from in various sizes and i'd like to present some of the lessons i've learned and some of the process um processes i'm going through with this and i beg you to please tell me the lessons that you learned from your migrations because i i'm sure you did the bigger ones so i think the primary uh job that can go wrong and most of the time does go wrong is the communication and project management which means doing such a good job that everybody's expectations are aligned in a uh sensible way and one way to do that is defining what the heck we are actually talking about when we want to update migrate or bow our site so uh the let's talk about the vocabulary here a update for example would mean from my point of view a change in content like i updated the documentation so it also covers plone 4 3.2 an upgrade is in my point of view the adding of new functionality like let's upgrade the website with the new newsletter and maybe a small intranet and stuff uh but also changing from one plus version to a new one like let's upgrade to the newest clone version so we'll become more secure faster and whatever but it's also switching to addition of the same version which has maybe more more features and a higher price like hey i just upgraded from microsoft office home prem home standard basic boring to professional super plus and migrations third word are the process of getting a plone site from one version to the other way sorry um and also the process of moving content from one one side or one system to another so these are these words are used in various ways so like let's migrate from 80 content types diploma content types or like let's migrate from sharepoint to clone and next word redesign that's kind of simple okay we're changing the visual appearance of the site and rewrite okay that's we'll have to rewrite everything from scratch because we just decided we forked clone and version one and we're not gonna be supported anymore everybody knows what i'm talking about yes okay uh so the vocabulary used to describe upgrades is opaque at best and i think uh there's two lessons to be learned from that first is uh if any of the if more than one of the words that were in the vocabulary were used you should ex you should you should want to approach the project as a relaunch and the second is don't talk in these words talk about what you actually do okay we're going to change the design we're going to change the version from to so both uh partners know what they're actually talking about because there's a lot of different types of uh migrations uh for example changing to a responsive design is that a redesign or an upgrade or migrating changing from 431 to 432 and clone is letter update upgrade or migration i wouldn't know that's why i have to talk clearly about this so why do we want to upgrade in the first place uh the main reason for me is to ease my development process for example i can't use sentry in a ford uh python 4.2 system so plan 3 has a huge pain point for me there and several others i want to use all these shiny new features that i i'm trying to write myself and i'm deploying sites that can't have them because they're older versions so i want to upgrade sites that people actually use them and also developers want to learn new stuff every time they want to touch their keyboard they're not they don't want to do repetitive stuff they're not factory workers so they also want to get rid of legacy code and use current versions of add-ons that will not be compatible with other versions so but selling this to a customer is kind of hard because customers don't care about clean code robot tests security or actually you having fun while doing the job for them customers actually care uh don't care that collections are way cool or that yeah but if you tell collections is a good example they don't they don't care about collections that you think they're cool and they have a shiny new interface but if you tell them their users might be more able uh to produce content in a faster and more uh reliable way they might actually listen because now you can give the permission to add a collection not only to managers but maybe site managers maybe editors and so on so they do care about in this specific order about design design and design and then usability maybe functionality that is important and something i learned that is really really helping to how do you say seal the deal tiny mce and index internet explorer nine actually had three migrations that were solely based on this interest okay i don't care i'm gonna do it anyway uh and they're also uh concerned about money that but that's like that's always the case so if you actually have a customer and you try to tell them you sold them on one of these five oops that was absolutely wrong i was so wrong so many levels on any of these five points plus whichever you think are interesting you'll have to finish out which sort of migration it's going to be and there are two very important questions you can ask and these are very simple what about the content and what about the design and if you get answers for these two questions you're going to learn a lot you're actually going to learn everything you're going to need for this project afterwards you're going to still going to have to manage that because if the customer starts sync thinking about changing one aspect of the page and also is not completely opposed thinking about the second aspect of the page they actually everything is up open so the um how do you say in english everything is up for grabs maybe something like that um that's just because most customers i'm talking about yeah maybe you have different different customers my customers approach a website as a unity not a mix of several things like there's content there's design there's function but this yeah it's my website yeah sure we want to change the design i told you we want to upgrade the site yes there was not initially logical for me but surely i want that so it's a lot of this is about the state of the mind of the customer and um once you find out what it is uh we have you have to do it and i'm gonna go through a virtual use case um and i'm gonna choose one of uh the well the most important step i'm going to do in place update so in clone update so i'm not going to use uh how do you say uh transmogrifier and i'm not going to move from sharepoint to plunder i have one clone site i'm gonna make a relaunch or an upgrade to the other version and it's maybe a five to ten gigabyte website or intranet i'm gonna upgrade to the news from from some clone three version i'm gonna add a diazo theme several cool functionality move content around a lot maybe move it to dexterity probably not but keep the content basically even though it moves and also most of the configuration that is users permission local roles extremely important keep all of this intact so first you need to make a plan and add a very generous timeline to that plan and while you do that or even before you do that you might present very important changes to the customer one example springs to mind tiny mce again put it in a clean website give it to a customer find out if they're happy with it because this is a huge pain point the editor a lot of customers use ck editor or whatever and when something small changes it can affect uh the outcome of the project they actually stop a project they actually stopped the project half a year ago because of some list bug in tiny mce it's just beginning to run now again so these three are important you have to know your upgrade guide in plone that is basic knowledge and then you do migrate your code but not in the site you take your eggs that you develop yourself and try to get them to run in a clean site put up a four three one side use the the newest version of your the build of your out of your choice put every all the dependencies all the stuff in that is in the actual site but no data at all and get that to run put all the code in uh that you change in especially special branches like plan four branch or whatever and try to get that to run that might actually take some time depending on your products that you wrote all the add-ons that you used so i'm gonna have to and you'll have to make sure that these products also install and reinstall and uninstall properly but that's uninstall is a bonus point for customer projects because when they have a like a custom content type for them that's been written for them that's like we really really want that and they can decide do you really want that and be have it properly and capsuled and uninstalled or not maybe they want to stick with it for the rest of their lives um so and if necessary you have to migrate uh third-party add-ons that are mission critical uh others you might just drop like slideshows there might be better slideshows there actually are better slideshows when you have a clone 3 side that definitely are better slideshows so and then you prepare for the migration yourself and you need lots of disk space that is at least four times the size of the database and at least two times or one and a half times the size of the database in the temp directory or you redirect that there's a linux magic i don't know put the temp directory somewhere else i got bitten by this so many times but that i have it in my default process now to just check can i write in the temp what customer servers my servers i can write in temp direct customer service i have 10 megabytes in a temp directory at one point 10 megabytes and a 10 gigabyte database and so that's not gonna work um so but you need to keep the original databases for comparison and keep them in a separate directory so they can run at the same time so you can why is this broken how should it look which interfaces does this implement so that's very important you need a lot of disk space and for many in-house customer deployments that is a pain point because some of them will use really expensive hardware and even like 10 gigs of this space is something you really have to argue about hey need more 10 gigs more hardsp that's crazy but it still is like this and make frequent snapshots while you do the migration um but we're not doing the migration yet well but when you do do snapshots before you just after packing the database before you migrate before you reinstall your products just keep them around because you otherwise you'd have to go back to zero and that just takes a lot of time and then take a text file very important this is an example for a text file and make notes and make every change that you have to make make a note make a new line write it down and this side this file will grow in size it might grow endlessly at but at the end of the project that file would uh be empty again so you'll have to this is all the stuff you'll have to do by hand in the beginning and then afterwards you automate it and it'll be removed from the text file again it's really important sorry so then you remove customizations all through the web stuff that might be stuck in there you clean up all the add-ons so you remove all the stuff that you don't need like fck ck editor the the galleries that i mentioned because you just try to run your code in the clean code base the the run the full code uh the full database already still has this stuff and you might have real problems on installing uh collective easy slideshow for example yes then do clear and rebuild and clean up the database pack the database and move it to a new build. cop not move it copy it make like keep it in place move it to a new directory that's the prone four directory and uh this plong4 directory uses the same products except for the ones that you threw out but just different other branches of these look mr developers your friend here's branch clone four and these are some default uh plone add-ons and you just fix some journal translations and that's what i usually do and then i don't make a release but i just use before i'm really ready i'm just going to use the source checkout so then you try to start it up and see it all go down in flames and spend a lot of time fixing all the errors that come from imports that you might have missed or components that are pro broken uh persistent utilities that i don't know got got lost on the way that takes some time maybe maybe none if you're lucky and if you did your job while migrating your add-ons well and still document everything that you have to change never forget any change never never think yeah i know i'm going to have to delete this folder later again and i'm not going to write this down you will forget it because migrations have stall phases at some points when the customer decides oh maybe this add-on is not ready to be done yet we'll still have to add a new feature to the theme to the slideshow slideshows could tell you endless stores but slideshows and then disable a lot of stuff like all the viewlets all the portlets um all the most of the actions actually because actions are hard to migrate just kick them out and do them anew and so get your site running so that you can see the data's make it so that you can find out if your data actually is still there and is accessible and then work hard to remove move all the stuff that is obsolete and do a migration of the database that is sometimes it's here sometimes it's here or here that depends on the project when when you do the actual migration of the database so now i have it actually up there uh if this fails uh run upgrade steps one at a time because the log output from the upgrade steps is a nightmare you will not easily find out which upgrade step actually failed and if one breaks and you can't find out what it is just comment it out and try to find out later when you actually can access the database at one time i had to migrate a database five times and all every time i was unable to access it afterwards it was everything was there i got into the zmi route what the moment i tried to access the database in the in the clone site i didn't get any access so i was locked out so i uncommented the step add site admin and everything was great site app because they had their own site admin and that conflicted more water then check the through the web customizations that you didn't throw away but you just uncommented them by giving them some useless name like ba k for backup for example uh adding prefixes that make sure that they don't get picked up by plone and drop all the stuff that you don't need and then automate all these things that you have in your text file write migration steps to like migrate the folder of user x who has like died 10 years ago but had weird stuff in there that is broken beyond repair put in enough long upgrades that it's actually going to only run once you don't need any tests for that you can forget that code afterwards but it has to work that one time when you do the migration so lose all that stuff in upgrade steps actually one big upgrade step and use smart tools like collective upgrade or for teamwork upgrade they're quite useful if you do complex migrations and then test the hell out of your site because you don't want to find serious bugs shortly before or after you launch i found out that when the launch of the english version of a site got postponed which is incredibly stupid and but not and not my decision because the site got launched but the english site could not launch the only thing that actually got not launched was the link to the english site but all the external links are still there and then we found out that lingua bro plone was broken with chameleon i still don't know what that actually was maybe it had something to do with the theme but we just because it's like one day after the launch they decided okay and now let's really translate the stuff to english and uh at with some content types they got weird errors so we threw out chameleon and it worked again you have to be prepared and willing to do the really dirty fixes you lose some speed but hey you've got caching so and then well this happened the the the that problem i just mentioned that hap after the real migration we in this story will still in the test migration we didn't migrate the data base and launch the new site this is the test migration on your laptop or your development machine whatever and then add the shiny new stuff add the new theme add new functionality add the new gallery do the redesign i could talk a lot about redesigns but i think i'm going to skip that because of the time and it's a little out of this scope of this talk so and then repeat the process and you can be sure that you'll have to repeat not the process of writing the upgrade steps you'll have to do that once uh but if you if you didn't do it after the first time you're actually already going to be angry with yourself because you'll have to do them twice by hand and three times by hand because i thought next time is going to be the real migration but it's not so you do everything by hand and thought ah no upgrade steps let's just do it by hand it's going to be okay it's not going to be okay write an upgrade step it saves you a lot of time um and then you'll have to really migrate the site itself and that is uh that is a very different problem that's also a little out of the scope of this talk and i really like your input there because it very much depends on how much content gets added that by day how many users are logged in at the at one certain time how much data actually there is sometimes you have like databases with 100 gigabytes that won't fit on my machine so if i tell you okay keep four times the size of the database and look at me i'm not going to find a laptop with this um actually not a macbook air with this size so these things vary a lot but what we usually do is if there is no huge content restructuration we tell the customer okay stop editing for one day maybe two maybe only half a day if it's a quick job and we're gonna get your site new up up near again and just switch the uh web server uh engine x turn it around and you don't see any any you don't the the person visiting the page won't realize what changed but you can also and that's what the recent the last project was uh they had to stop editing no they had to edit both sides uh twice so the the old site was still edited and the new site that was um already migrated all the code all the database but it's running on a different server and they were reorganizing all the content and that's where they didn't get didn't get around uh with the english content so but they already had to stop uh for two and not stop but they already had two weeks of simultaneously editing two page two two sites and they didn't want to keep doing this until they finished the english version of their site so they decided okay let's go online and reboot the english site later weird idea but so plans always go wrong because the initial plan was like seven days of migrating content but that didn't work so uh but there's also the way like you save new content into another temporary database uh some usually it's just contents text news items something like that put it in some json files somewhere or however and re-import it while editing so you put something in the old site that sucks out everything that comes in that is new and automatically writes in news in the news site if you did something like this i'd really like to know so the challenges and pitfalls in this process uh need to be named and uh the two most important are the the customer that doesn't really know what he wants and but that is kind of your fault because your mouth is so big that you tell them hey your site is going to be so new and so fast and so cool and so so much better because you get carried away with the wish of upgrading a site that you forget what act what the customer actually wants so the communication is the big challenge and pitfall there and also if the desire design needs to be kept that's a big problem because tiny things change and customers know their side side much better than you do know their side even if you might have developed them in some earlier century and they are used to what they know and they often react very negatively to even tiny changes that you might even perceive as completely irrelevant or as improvements like time emc be clear about costs and risks and say like okay your design is not going to work in ie6 and ie7 is going to look like by i8 which is great and in the ie9 now you can edit that so communicate really well and the another problem or uh more challenge is the legacy stuff so if you have old databases old content that cannot really be migrated that is problematic that is pulled from somewhere uh use diazo or deliverance and cordon just isolate this stuff and pull it in via diazo deliverance uh you save a lot of time and the customer saves a lot of money there and another problem is always multilingual because it is so much work so the time is essential the technology is there everything like with planet multilingual lingua plone actually is great except for lingua plane not running with chameleon which i didn't know maybe i don't know maybe it's actually not a bug but only in the theme but that's always a big problem and relations i usually lose relations during upgrades so i usually have to export them to a huge uh uuid list and import them again so i already got upgrade steps for this ready in my box and okay these are some lessons that i learned is that oh communication that's not even portuguese sorry that's a typo so communication project management kills projects if it's not done really good and obviously i'm not perfect at that and i like your input on how to improve that not me but the whole process there every migration case is different that's that's banal every but this is important i think every non-trivial upgrade should be approached as a relaunch so you that makes your life much easier because you can communicate changes that they might if they would not perceive or approach their migration as a relaunch that they perceive these changes as a problem and now they achieve perceive it as okay we're relaunching so we expect stuff to change and they might actually see that the collections are much better now and they see that the plone app search is a huge improvement over the old uh search uh even the advanced search although there is a package that pulls in the advanced search in the new clone four i can't remember what it's called but someone wrote that it's actually quite useful for customers who want their old stuff back and the last lesson i learned is don't experiment keep the technologies that are new to you to two or maybe only one so if you're new to diazo and new to dexterity don't try both at the same time only do one maybe do none depending on the customer and how safe you feel we tried to move a project to dexterity including migrations to diazo including the toolbar and planner widgets and well we had to throw out two of these that was kind of expected so don't try more than two new technologies at once and uh don't experiment too much because uh some things might go wrong and keep a back back up plan with the toolbar that's kind of easy you have uh and the other the customer was too cheap to for to pay us for theming the back end so we uh got another domain like edit dot blah blah and that was only approachable through virtual private network and it was unthemed and the customer is absolutely happy and we don't have to use the toolbar that is not yet 100 production ready actually i think it's production ready but only for users who think okay this is not working let's approach this another way but if you have 20 editors and they're used to like do this all that all the time and they can't go from folder contents to look at the site actually they might really be pissed off okay so time for questions and actually i have two for you oh one for you how do you you know this this happens when you get an email at half past 12 in the morning telling you you have to give a talk so how do you estimate time and cost for a migration that is one of many questions that i don't have a real answer to because i'm always kind of wrong never like tragic tragically we're not bankrupt but it's really really hard because there's so many moving pieces and on variables i'm gonna i'm not gonna have this on video please so i'm going to go back to the first slide which looks much better okay questions if you dare please you want the mic can i have the mic microphone please test yes yes can you share some of your experience on moving moving the actual contents from one plone installation to another like things like you said in the morning that you haven't used transmogrifier but i think that that for for sites the the as big as you you thought even small internal intranets like 10 gigabytes of data it's it's a little bit complicated to just go to the dmi and click export so i'm thinking you have some other kind of magic up in your sleeves uh magic well i think zmi exports that x works amazingly well i wouldn't have expected that but i used it in a lot of projects i actually migrated a whole internet from one side to another and i had virtually no problems well you have to re-build the relations but the content itself it worked pretty well so i that would be my first option try this if this fails before you start using transmogrify which i think is a really powerful tool but not easy to set up so for for a budget project that might ruin your your calculation uh maybe funnel web just parse the old page and uh have it create new content there are several tools that do that one is funnel web i think um but maybe other peop other people have other opinions on that and i actually i live with broken objects in my database at some time sometimes like if if the website has a limited life span say okay this project has funding from the government but it's going to run out in four years but they have singing and dancing in there i don't care they they just carry it around with them for the next four years afterwards the project will die i won't spend a week sleepless or working on actually i would love to if they'd pay me to migrate that side with transmogrifier and thus getting them rid out of uh from of singing dancing but i wouldn't advise them to do that even i'd take the money but that's kind of useless work i think yeah it's it's not so much a question it was just supporting your view on this i mean we are ourselves i mean we are not the top experts in clone but all our clients are actually running the latest version always and as you describe it some they have they're giving a lot of money for maintaining things and of course they somehow pay the party but it's important for us that we only have one version running because it's much easier to maintain thing and you can say by by doing the same thing repeatedly then also it's it's pretty fast to to do it in the end instead of waiting for many years and having clients on different clones so i mean my advice is just do it and also it works surprisingly well one of the things we can see helps us a lot is having pretty big servers so we have a lot of speed also in the process so it's easy to to try things out if it doesn't work and we have different servers also so it's easy to move around so we can try things on one server and simply a little um try and error and sometimes the try is enough you can say that's the nice thing yeah we only have one three right side running on our own servers uh our own hosting system customers have stuff running i wouldn't i wouldn't want to touch uh more questions or maybe input yeah i know you guys at netsight you did huge migrations using a transmogrifier and a lot of other people did we're not going to get deep into that but what do you think about the main problem being project management and communications do you agree there or is that i think particularly sorry i think i think the main problem with this uh with migrations particularly between major plane versions is estimating the work involved and um you can't do a small amount of work and then scale that up linearly or using some algae in mathematics to estimate the total amount of work you really have to do the work before you know how long it's going to take and the wider variety of content types and functionality that you have in the site such as a more complex intranet or something like that you know the the the more edge cases there are and the more complexities there are that you it's very hard to predict and i think it's actually quite a risk offering to upgrade between major plane versions without a lot of background research and and and establishing a an understanding with the customer whereby uh it's not necessarily going to be fixed price work yes i completely agree with you yes and it's also very hard to sell and upgrade as like the customer thinks we're just changing the the version if i change my word version it cost me like 100 euros why do you want 10 000 euros why and that's why i think uh best approach is the relaunch and the design with this yeah i agree i think that's worked well for us as well to consider it as a a new version of the site yes not just an upgrade okay any more questions yes a contribution to this discussion is that uh sometimes when my client i work for an internal ie department so when the user comes to me and complains about something like oh it's why is is it too hard to just change a picture here or to just reorganize the design here and why is that so hard i always i always tell them uh do you expect usually when you upgrade the the world version that you can choose what would be the logo type or the dispos the dispose the disposition of the menus you never want to customize that so that's why it's too easy to upgrade words and it's too hard to upgrade plone or any other customer heavily customized too that's a good good comparison actually word does let you change the order of the menus it's that you do that since word six that's true but you you can't say okay my save button has to be uh i don't know a flower yeah you can you can yeah okay i haven't used words since word six actually so i i skipped that other questions okay thanks for coming and have a great evening

PHI 2730 Williams The Truth in Relativism
this is the lecture for bernard williams's the truth in relativism so here we have williams uh right here and so uh the lecture starts off with it says an apology and three excuses so the apology is this is a very difficult article to read and of course we've had lots and lots of difficult things to read in this course but you know the hope is that in the second part of the course after we finish the historical stuff the hope is that it gets a bit easier to read but uh this i think is still tough because uh both the content is very difficult and also the way of writing is maybe not super clear so uh for instance here's a random sentence um it may be that some forms of relativism can be shown to be false by reference to these presuppositions themselves not on the ground which would prove nothing that the genesis of ideas such as a culture like that of relativism itself lies in a certain sort of culture but on the ground that the application of a notion of such a of such such as a culture presupposes the instantiation in the subject matter of a whole set of relations which can be adequately expressed at all only via the concepts of one culture rather than another for instance certain notions of causality so this sentence is a bit longer than maybe you would hope to see and it's very complicated construction so uh i would suggest take this very slow so um that's the apology but then so three sort of excuses for why why this so number one uh look uh reading hard stuff is good for you uh the more practice you get with it the better you get at it you know i'm at the point where i can just read this like i read anything else it makes perfect sense to me so you know you want to get there someday that would be nice uh no matter whether you read more philosophy or no matter what you do in the rest of your life the better you get at reading complicated things the better things will go for you so uh now is some time to practice number two um the so he's his style of difficult writing is uh different from a lot of the writing styles we've seen so far and some people i think will find it very interesting or um it's like an appealing way of doing philosophy both the way he writes and also just the complicated ideas that he sets up uh what he does is he sort of sets up a structure and then applies it and we'll talk a bit about this in the lecture um and so you might just find this to be an interesting article itself uh and so that's the second reason and the third reason the biggest reason is that luckily worst case scenario if you cannot make any sense of this article it is just too complicated uh that's fine because the sort of the central point is actually pretty easy to explain to you so that's what i'm going to do in this lecture so this won't be a wasted article for you because you can still get the important idea from me right now in here even if you can't get it reading the article so that's okay so what is this lecture going to do uh the rest of the lecture is going to give you the central idea of the paper and as i say in the outline up above you'll get the very simple version and then the simple version so the very simple version i'm just going to say in words right now it's not written up here it's just i'm going to explain it so what we're interested in is moral relativism and whether moral relativism is true what is relativism so relativism is the idea that look uh you there are sort of different sets of moral truths that are equally true or in other words uh there's not one common morality that's shared by everybody there are different sorts of moralities at least two you know there's probably more than two if the relativist is right but if the relativist is right there are at least two and maybe more and they are relative to some certain context so maybe they're relative to different places so maybe in india there's one morality and in botswana there's another morality maybe they're relative to certain times so maybe there's one morality right now and then 600 years ago they had a different morality maybe they're relative to cultures or religions or people maybe each individual has their own morality and you might think well obviously moral or you can of course you can combine all of these or combine different versions and you might think look obviously moral relativism is true everybody's got a different moral code but no we're interested in not whether people sort of have moral differences but whether they their moral differences are correct or justified whether there's sort of one true moral code and we can judge all the moral codes against it and they can be right or wrong or whether there are multiple true moral codes so that's the sort of question of moral relativism and the way williams specifically wants to think about it is uh are there any sorts of moral codes that uh kind of can't talk with each other or you can't really choose between the two of them so there's no basis on which to say one is better than the other so if there's no way to say one moral code is better than another moral code we'll have to accept that relativism is true about morality they're both sort of equally good or equally bad or really they're both just equal because good and bad are moral terms and we can't really use those to judge there's not like one right answer they're just different they're separate they're different and there's nothing more to say about them beyond they're different so is that true and williams is going to say yes there are different moral codes why uh he's he's basically just going to say it he just says look think about certain moral codes they are simply just different from yours they're not better or worse it just doesn't make sense to judge them morally speaking they're just so far away they're just it's so impossible for you to even imagine what it would be like to accept that moral code that it's just too different for there to be any kind of judgment from your part on their part and from them to you so if there can't be any judgment if you can't say that moral code is better or worse than mine it's all i can say is that it's different then relativism is true there isn't like one true morality or one true moral standard that we can rank all the moral codes with rather there's just different moral codes and there's nothing more we can say so that's the very simple version of williams what's his argument for it i mean again the argument is just saying it and then you're supposed to find it compelling but then he wrote this 14 page article so what exactly is going on here so here's the simple version of what's going on in this article so we start off with the question relativism and specifically moral relativism so he's interested in is uh placing certain issues in the discussion of relativism not to deal with any of them thoroughly so he just wants to sort of bring up some things related to relativism it's concerned with any kind of relativism in the sense that the questions raised are ones that should be asked with regard to relativistic views in any area whether it be the world views of different cultures shifts in scientific paradigms or differences in ethical outlook so that story i just told about moral relativism you could also have that view about shifts in scientific paradigms so we have a bunch of different scientific paradigms a bunch of different scientific theories are is there one standard which we can judge them all with or are they just different theories and we can't say one is better than another they're incompatible with each other and there's no basis on which to choose one or the other if there's no basis to choose if there's just a bunch of different theories and you can't pick one as better than the other then you are a scientific relativist or similarly world views of different cultures so you know maybe there's a bunch of different world views are any of them correct or incorrect can we choose on the basis of like whether they match correctness or not no there's just different world views and there's nothing more to say so you could be a cultural worldview relativist so he says i'm gonna sort of construct a framework that works for all of these a machinery is introduced which is intended to apply quite generally so he's going to construct a framework but the only area in which i want to claim that there is truth in relativism is the area of ethical relativism this doesn't mean that i here try to argue against its truth in any other area so he's not saying scientific relativism is false or true he's not saying a world view of cultures relativism false sex or whatever he's just going to say ethical relativism is true so that's the only argument he's going to give here and as i noted he's not really going to argue for it he's just going to state it but he's going to give us a framework that works for all relativisms and then say that it's true like this framework describes relativism in ethics so remember before when i gave the three excuses i said one of the interesting things is sort of the method that he's going through so this is kind of an interesting way of doing philosophy he's going to construct a sort of framework for dealing with relativism and then apply it to ethics and so um we see a way in which more general concerns about philosophy can be applied in one specific place which is ethics which we haven't seen a ton of we saw a bit of it in kant we saw some of it in aristotle we saw a tiny bit mill um and but yeah so this is a way of doing things so that's the question relativism and his answer is yes when it comes to moral relativism so what's how do what does he go about saying so he says look think about relativism in terms of different systems of belief so we have one system of belief and another system of belief and maybe like 7 or 12 or 100 or whatever and imagine we have confrontations between these systems of belief now a confrontation is not like a fight they're not like attacking each other it's not that kind of confrontation confrontation just means they're sort of they're both before us uh they're sort of both on the table they're both uh we're sort of judging between them we're sort of deciding between them we have to we have to look at them both in the same light in the same context we're sort of confronted with both of them or they're confronting each other in the sense that it is time now for judgment it is time to decide between these or to rank them or whatever and so you can see how this sort of confrontation of different systems of belief would be relevant to the question of relativism because the question of relativism is when there's confrontation like this does does one of the belief systems win out is there like a correct one or is there just nothing to say here are they just they're on a par and there's nothing to say when they confront each other so if relativism is true then we have two systems and there's nothing to say between them if objectivism is true then there is something to say one of these systems is correct or maybe they're both correct or maybe they're both wrong but there's like something we can say and the way he's going to articulate this is by coming up with the uh he's going to divide confrontations into two kinds of categories there are real confrontations between systems of belief and there are merely notional or we might call them nominal confrontations between systems of belief so what's the difference between a real confrontation and a notional confrontation so a real confrontation between systems of belief is when both the systems of belief are sort of real options for us or real options for the people in the systems of belief so imagine i have one system of belief that says it's great to eat potatoes in the morning and another system of belief that says it's great to eat potatoes or tomatoes at night so these are two systems of belief and we have a confrontation between them are they both real options number one yes i think i can i'm not number one like yes they seem like real options number one i can i can adopt either of those in fact i can adopt both they're compatible with each other there's no conflict there so a confrontation between them is a real confrontation in the sense that i can imagine choosing between them i can pick one or the other and in fact i don't have to choose i can pick both so those are both real options for me so when both are real options for me when i can sort of imagine or when it it's it's not about imagining when it's possible for me to endorse both of the systems of belief then we have a real confrontation a merely notional confrontation is when one or both systems of belief are not real options like i couldn't adopt this system of belief so what would this look like it can be a little hard to get examples because to get i will forget why it's hard to get examples just say there is some system of belief that you absolutely could not adopt there's just no way you could ever change yourself to adopt that system of belief if you don't have it already of course if you have it already it's got to be a real option so we're only talking now about systems of belief you don't have maybe i mean so this is potentially false but let's just assume it's true let's assume religions are uh there can only be notional confrontation between religion so let's assume religion relativism so then let's say you have a christian and a jew you have the christian system of belief and the jewish system of belief and just imagine that the christian system of belief is not an option for the jew and the jewish system of belief is not an option for the christian there's just nothing they could do to change their religion now again that's probably false but like imagine it were true imagine there was nothing they could do that would be a notional confrontation it would be a real confrontation if they could change their religions if there were options there now what do we say about confrontations between systems of belief we can have confrontations between scientific systems of belief ethical systems of belief religious systems of belief and so on what do we say william says take ethical systems of belief the kind we're interested in in this course so i don't know utilitarianism and continuism or something but probably actual systems of belief that normal people have if there's a real confrontation between these two in those circumstances moral terms moral judgments make sense so imagine you have a utilitarian and a kantian and it's possible for the utilitarian to change their mind to become a kantian it's possible for the kantian to change their mind to become a utilitarian this is a real confrontation there's a real live possibility here that they could swap if they decided to so if it's possible to change then williams thinks it's possible to have a sort of moral dialogue between these two systems utilitarianism can say oh continuism is bad for xyz it's morally objectionable for these reasons like here are my moral objections to continuism and continuism can say oh utilitarianism is bad for these reasons it doesn't respect the good will it blah blah so when you have a real confrontation moral discussion moral terms make sense we can morally judge the different theories compared to each other the different systems of belief compared to each other so that's perfectly fine williams thinks in that case you don't have relativism when you have two systems of belief that are in real confrontation there's no relativism because one or the other could maybe win out maybe there's a sort of standard we're using to judge and maybe continuism wins or maybe utilitarianism wins or maybe neither should win something else should win so when there's a real confrontation when there's a real choice to be made relativism doesn't make sense however when you have notional confrontation or merely notional confrontation when one or the other or both systems are not real options for you that is when moral terms don't make sense so i mean again it's hard to come up with examples so the example he uses um he uses a few examples but one example he uses of a is a bronze age greek chieftain or the the society that well it's not basically so uh imagine the moral system of a bronze age greek chieftain so i don't know when the bronze age is but sometime bce a long long time ago a very different context from the one you're living in right now could you adopt that moral system is that a real option for you and williams thinks the answer is no and that's just no you're there's nothing about that system that would be even the sort of thing you could ever live your life according to that's just no longer an option for really anybody but especially not you or me we just could not have that moral system and similarly it works in the other direction whatever our moral system is or whatever your moral system is or whatever my moral system is these are not real options for the bronze age greek chieftain it's just there's no real confrontation here between these two systems of belief the bronze age greek chieftain could not uh live according to you know whatever moral theory whatever moral system of belief you're living according to so williams thinks these cases notional confrontations between moral systems there's no moral judgment that can go on so you can't look at the greek system of belief moral system of belief and say oh it's morally bad or something these terms just don't make sense it's just too far away for it to make sense for you to like judge the greek using moral terms like those terms it just don't apply to something that far away something that's not a real option you can't say oh you know this moral system would be better in these ways and worse and we these other ways or my moral system is better because of it's just the comparison doesn't even make sense it's a cross too far a distance and he says this is the truth in relativism this is the true form of ethical relativism when there are two options and one or both are not real options then you have moral relativism because there's no standard to judge between the two you're stuck with yours and the greek is stuck with his and they can't change you can't adopt the greek one the greek can't adopt yours and so moral relativism is true about for instance your moral system or my moral system versus the greeks moral system there's no judgment to be made here there's just separate systems and that's all we can say they're both sort of on their own they're both equally true in the sense that like truth doesn't even makes it they're just separate there's no judgment between the two so how common is this kind of relativism for instance is kantian and utilitarianism are these real confrontations or notional confrontations uh maybe if you and i have different moral systems are these real can we have a real confrontation or is this emotional confrontation williams doesn't say he doesn't say how widespread moral relativism is his point is just that there is some so like he thinks very long ago those moral systems those are just obviously too different certainly moral relativism is true about that but what about today between different societies or even between different people he doesn't say it's up to you maybe to make a judgment about how widespread this kind of relativism is but williams does give you a tool for figuring out whether how widespread it is he says when you have two systems one of which or both of which are not real options that is when relativism comes in so if you have ethical systems and you ever find an ethical system that's not a real option relativism is therefore true about that one when compared to at least your ethical system because yours must be a real option for you that's a test for sort of finding the scope of relativism and that's his argument and he thinks one nice thing about his description version of moral relativism is that it is not vulgar relativism what is vulgar relativism well vulgar relativism is the view which combines a relativistic account of the meaning or content of ethical terms with a non-relativistic principle of toleration so the thought is on the one hand the vulgar relativist says oh you know what's right or wrong is relative to typically societies or cultures so what's right for somebody in a certain culture as whatever their culture says is right what's wrong is whatever their culture says is wrong and different cultures judge differently so one culture says this is right another culture says this is wrong and there's there's just they're both right you know this culture is right about its moral truths this culture is right about it's moral truths everybody has their own moral truths and that's okay so they say that and then they also say there's this principle of toleration which is it's wrong to impose your culture's moral truths on another culture's moral truths because look everybody's got their own separate moral truths now williams thinks this view is stupid why is it stupid well uh look on the one hand it says morals are relative to each culture and then on the other hand it has this non-relativistic toleration principle which says you shouldn't go around imposing your worlds on other cultures but if morals were truly relative to each culture then if you lived in a culture that said go impose your morals on other people like for instance colonial era british culture then it would be right it would be morally right for you to go and impose your culture on other people that is what it means to say that each culture has its own moral truths so it just doesn't make sense to say there should be this principle of toleration unless you give up the relativism you could give up the relativism and say every culture should tolerate each other but that would be an objective moral principle not a relative moral principle so that's this sort of obvious reason why vulgar relativism is bad but williams also thinks that his version of relativism is better than vulgar relativism for another reason and this is what it says up here the reason of moral reformers so uh i don't know we could read well first i'll explain it then maybe i'll read the sentence see if it makes sense so think about how moral reform happens in a society imagine you live in a society that says uh you know women should not be able to make their own decisions women should have decisions made for them by the head of the family who is a man and imagine you think and and this is like a moral judgment in the society it's morally wrong for women to take charge of their lives it's morally good for them to be controlled by the men in their family so and imagine you say this is morally bad i'm living in the society but i disagree i think morally women and men should be equal i think morally nobody should be controlled by others when you do this you're sort of expressing a hope for moral reform you're saying i don't agree with what my society says and i think my society should change i think society should be different and notice what you're doing is you have their two systems of belief you have the society-wide system of belief which is oppressive to women and then you have this system of belief that you're offering the one you believe which is not oppressive to women and you're saying these there is a real confrontation here there is these are both real options for me and for you for everybody in this society society can change there is a potential for change here and most importantly what you're saying is my system of belief is better i'm not just saying here are two options and you know pick your favorite i'm saying mine should be preferred mine is morally better than the existing society and williams thinks for that to make sense for your argument to make sense for anybody for that to be true and for us to account for societies which change on the basis of these sorts of arguments we can't be relativists about these two systems of belief we can't say oh they're just both equally good because then it wouldn't make sense to try to change society if they were both equally good why should we go with your system rather than the other system if they're both equally good it can't make sense of the arguments you're giving for your system and against the existing system because you're using moral arguments and that implies that there's a sort of common currency there there's a sort of objective standard we can judge these two systems against and yours does better so to account for moral reform and to account for moral change in a society that happens in some sort of rational process we have to give up relativism within societies or really we have to give up relativism wherever we see moral reform because moral reform is a form of progress and if progress is true relativism is false there's some objective standard out there and the better you do according to that standard the more progress you make so if you think moral progress is ever possible you have to give up relativism in that context and williams thinks yeah you know lots of societies it does seem like they make moral progress so we shouldn't be relativists about everything in morality which is what the vulgar relativist wants but you know have we made moral progress compared to the bronze age greek moral system williams just amend that that makes no sense like there's two completely different contexts there's just not any common way of judging between them so relativism is true about those cases and then the question is just sort of how widespread is it how widespread is relativism um again that's up to you so i think i won't read this sentence but uh you can read it on your own time so that's williams's argument again it's not really an argument so much as he's developing a framework and then saying it applies to morality and you get to decide whether you agree or not uh but that's the basic idea behind williams

12x_L4b_WE8 - Logarithmic Regression Steps
in this problem what I'd like to do is to walk you through the written steps to perform log rhythmic modeling on your calculator and make sure that you understand those so you've got a problem here determine if a data set can be modeled by a logarithmic function if so find that function rounding all decimals to four places so here's our data set here the X row and the Y row so let's enter that into our calculator by going into our stat and then edit and your data should look exactly like what you see here should match the rows so here's the X row is in L1 and the Y row is in L2 so if you need to pause the video to enter those values please do so remember that to clear a column you need to highlight to the top and hit clear not delete so when you're done come back to this page uh this part of the video and go on to the next step we're asked to determine if the data can be modeled by logarithmic function so let's see what our data look like we're going to go to y equals and we're going to turn on our plot our plot is not turned on right now otherwise that would be highlighted plot one I'm going to scroll up and I'm going to hit enter and if I scroll back down notice that plot one is highlighted then I'm going to go to zoom and zoom 9 is zoom stat so let's go down to zoom 9 and see what that looks like Zoom stat my calculator got a little away from me there so let's go back up to zoom 9 and hit enter and what that will do is to graph your uh data your table data on an appropriate window and you can see that the data are increasing ing but slower and slower and so this has generally the shape of a logarithmic function so we're going to say that just visually we can model these data with a logarithmic function to do that let's go to stat Cal number nine is logarithmic regression and it's actually using What's called the natural log which is a special kind of logarithm it's a logarithm base e and we're going to enter so on your screen you would have Ln rag you can ignore this part if you have other stuff on your screen just ignore it hit enter again and it will give you the information to fill in for the coefficients A and B in your logarithmic equation so you're going to fill in -2. 22744 a and 7269 84 B write your equation as you see in the row here under step four to see what that looks like graphically and how closely it matches up with the data let's go ahead and enter that equation into y1 so -2.2 274 plus 7.2 698 and then the natural log function is here we need our x and then in the parentheses now let's hit graph and we're going to see that the function that was created by our calculator using log logarithmic regression is a pretty good model for our data set

hitchhiking is soo good
i'm hints hiking to dubawara i just finished a trail here uh it was actually a work related trip um so now i'm going back and since i've built my life around bicycle i try also not to use a car even though i could have access to cars sometimes i actually do use cars which is quite rare i would say less than once a month and that being said i really love driving so that's something i also offer often to um to people when i hitchhike that i can take the wheel like i've loads of driving experience far too much for my kind but most of that i think i gathered um uh i ironically using cars in an environmental organization so um yeah hitchhiking i think is like really really good um it doesn't have the reputation it's supposed to have i believe um from what i know and that is like stories of myself stories from other stories from others including female hitchhikers which is often like somehow said like yeah but for women it's dangerous um it's possible to make hitchhiking relatively safe um like you can you have the smartphones um that can help track you or send a picture of the number plate or something like this um if you feel yeah everybody going the other direction i need to go this direction i have this waterproof paper sign with like loads of city names on it um so i think they're like eight different cities um and there's still some space a very useful sign yeah the thing about hitchhiking is of course like 1.2 people per car that's the average in finland and with hitchhiking i can get this average up um make better use of the cars and i offer something to the drivers so what the hitchhiker or first there's a car coming i need to drag it to the right i guess uh what the hitchhiker offers is like you have two sets of eyes on the road the like shared cars are statistically less involved in accidents because first of all you have shared two two pairs of ice on the road uh the driver is usually also driving a bit more responsible when there is a guest in the car and thirdly there is conversation going on with the driver so which kind of keeps the driver awake and makes the ride go faster for the driver so i always try to make it a s positive experience for the uh for the rider like for the person who gives the ride for the driver and often i offer some i don't know berries and stuff in the car so or or i might have some i don't know dates and nuts and yes so there's another car coming this video has been long enough i really recommend hitchhiking i hope we would include it more in our mobility concepts um and it can be made even that you have like kind of this local ride sharing benches imagine like a bench standing here and there's a car coming i need to take that okay giving it a try have a good time bye-bye love you

Liberty Party (United States, 1840) | Wikipedia audio article
The Liberty Party was a minor political party in the United States in the 1840s (with some offshoots surviving into the 1860s). The party was an early advocate of the abolitionist cause and it broke away from the American Anti-Slavery Society (AASS) to advocate the view that the Constitution was an anti-slavery document. William Lloyd Garrison, leader of the AASS, held the contrary view that the Constitution should be condemned as an evil pro-slavery document. The party included abolitionists who were willing to work within electoral politics to try to influence people to support their goals. By contrast, the radical Garrison opposed voting and working within the system. Many Liberty Party members joined the anti-slavery (but not abolitionist) Free Soil Party in 1848 and eventually helped establish the Republican Party in the 1850s. == Party origin == The party was announced in November 1839 and first gathered in Warsaw, New York. Its first national convention took place in Arcade on April 1, 1840. The Liberty Party nominated James G. Birney, a Kentuckian and former slaveholder, for President in 1840 and 1844. The second nominating convention was held in August 1843 in Buffalo, New York. The Liberty Party platform of 1843 resolved "to regard and to treat" the fugitive slave clause of the Constitution "as utterly null and void, and consequently forming no part of the Constitution of the United States" on grounds of "natural right" (natural law). It also contained the following plank: Resolved, That the Liberty Party ... will demand the absolute and unqualified divorce of the general [i.e., federal] government from slavery, and also the restoration of equality of rights among men, in every State where the party exists, or may exist. == Support and influence == The party did not attract much support. In the 1840 election, Birney received only 6,797 votes and in the 1844 election 62,103 votes (2.3% of the popular vote). However, it may have thrown victory from Henry Clay to James Polk in the 1844 election, with Birney having received 15,800 votes in New York and Polk winning New York by 5,100 votes. If Clay had won New York, he would have had the majority of electoral votes instead of Polk. A third nominating convention was held in Syracuse, New York in October 1847, endorsing John P. Hale of New Hampshire with 103 votes (there Gerrit Smith received forty-four votes for the nomination, with another twelve scattered votes for others). However, Hale later withdrew due to the subsequent events of 1848. === Candidates === == Relationship to the Free Soil Party == In 1848, with the political sentiment stirred up by the Wilmot Proviso controversies and the "Barnburner" faction of New York Democrats splitting off from the rest of the Democratic Party, there was the possibility of forming a much larger and more influential political grouping devoted to anti-slavery goals—but not all of whom considered themselves to be primarily abolitionists as such, or were willing to work under the Liberty Party name. Therefore, many Liberty Party members met in Buffalo, New York with other groups in August 1848 to form the Free Soil Party, a party that although opposed to slavery was not strictly speaking abolitionist. A minority which was not willing to merge with the Free Soil Party nominated Gerrit Smith as rump National Liberty Party candidate for 1848 at a convention held on June 14–15, 1848 in Buffalo. Smith went on to win 2,545 votes, less than 1% of the Free Soil vote total. The Free Soil Party later merged with the Republican Party in 1854, by which time many of the issues originally championed by the Liberty Party had become politically mainstream. A member of the Liberty Party who later rose to great political prominence as a Free-Soiler and Republican was Salmon P. Chase. Chase had joined the Liberty Party in 1841 and had a significant influence on the Liberty Party platform of 1843–1844 as well as organizing the Southern and Western Liberty Convention in Cincinnati in 1845, where a number of delegates from the Midwest and Upper South met. In order to broaden the appeal of the party, Chase advocated supplementing the almost purely religious and moral Liberty Party rhetoric of the 1840 election with political and constitutional analysis and wished the party to emphasize that its immediate goal was to withdraw all direct federal government support and recognition of slavery (or to "divorce" the federal government from slavery) as opposed to simply demanding the abolition of slavery everywhere in the United States (something which was beyond the legal power of the federal government to accomplish as the Constitution then existed). In 1847–1848, Chase was a strong supporter of the fusion movement which resulted in the formation of the Free Soil Party.The Liberty Party continued to exist many years afterwards, despite most of its supporters having left to join less-religiously-motivated parties. In the absence of Chase, religious rhetoric in the party's official addresses and platforms increased. The 1848 platform strongly condemned the perceived attempts to moderate the party. That same year, the party began openly advocating various general moralistic policies, such as prohibitions on alcohol, gambling and prostitution. Other than these religiously motivated restrictions on market activity, the party largely favored free trade and opposed tariffs. One year later, the twenty-second plank of the 1849 platform praised Lysander Spooner's book The Unconstitutionality of Slavery. In 1852, the party held its national convention on September 30 in Syracuse, New York. The presidential nominee that year was William Goodell of New York and his running mate was S. M. Bell of Virginia. The platform that year only had four planks.By 1856, very little of the Liberty Party remained after most of its members joined the Free Soil Party in 1848 and nearly of all what remained of the party joined the Republicans in 1854. The small remnant of the party renominated Gerrit Smith under the name of the "National Liberty Party". In 1860, the remnant of the party was also called the Radical Abolitionists. A convention of one hundred delegates was held in Convention Hall, Syracuse, New York, on August 29, 1860. Delegates were in attendance from New York, Pennsylvania, New Jersey, Michigan, Illinois, Ohio, Kentucky, and Massachusetts. Several of the delegates were women. Gerrit Smith, despite his poor health, fought William Goodell in regard to the nomination for the presidency. In the end, Smith was nominated for president and Samuel McFarland from Pennsylvania was nominated for vice president. The ticket won 171 popular votes from Illinois and Ohio. In Ohio, a slate of presidential electors pledged to Smith ran with the name of the Union Party. == Prominent Liberty Party members == James Appleton, Maine state legislator and Liberty Party nominee for Governor (1842) Shepard Cary, Democratic member of Congress from Maine and Liberty Party nominee for Governor (1854) Samuel Fessenden, co-founder of the Republican Party and Liberty Party nominee for Maine Governor (1847) Ezekiel Holmes, Maine state legislator and two-time Liberty Party nominee for Governor == Notes

My Splatoon OCs?? | Vicvillon's November(ish) 2020 Q&A
was that me victoria beyond answering questions not on the right time for the q a never never i would never imagine myself doing that welcome to the november q a these are questions from november answered close to november but the best timing about this video is that i can answer questions about thanksgiving late and christmas early so i can answer a question like like this one right now cookie gary asks since it will be almost christmas when this is answered what is your favorite creme bliss song ah well you see it happens to be the one and only all i want for christmas is you which is why that parody exists because i couldn't help myself because it's so fun i'm one of those people that'll blast it in my car like in november in fact i did blast it in my car in november and i'll do it again i won't do it on the streams i promise but i will do it in my car fizzle says no no no breaking the fourth wall get back in your cartoon okay okay okay i'm going back and to answer your other question may haps i'll stream a hat in time i don't have priorities on streaming it anytime soon but i know it is a good game and i know some of my friends love it a lot so i definitely have it on my list of games that i'd like to stream eventually i know it's not too long of a game so i feel like it did fit really well with like my style of streaming and everything like that so i'll say yes eventually stardew says do you think there are enough arrow spray mains to start a secret aerospray society ps don't tell anybody because it's a secret uh well um the question is already in the q a so i can't really go back on that one but i will say yes i feel like there are a lot of people out there that do like the aerospray but they don't want to speak up you know because if they do then people will know that they like the aerospray so i think that's the secret aerospray society in and of itself you just gotta find the people davis asked some more thanksgiving questions saying favorite type of pie like have you ever had like a warm apple pie maybe with like a little bit of like the crumble on it you put a little bit of whipped cream on top oh best pie you can't beat that like pumpkin pie is delicious but you can't find pumpkin pie that's good reliably all year long in a lot of places but apple pie is like always around you can't go wrong i feel like it's really hard to mess up an apple pie they're all delicious give me more apple pie great gamer says what do you hate the most about the nintendo switch and the first time that i read this question i laughed really hard because i wasn't like expecting this question but i think the greatest issue the switch has is when your account is on two switches unless that switch is your primary console you can't like access certain things we had this issue when my sister and i both got switches of our own that her account was still tied to my switch so she couldn't access any games from her switch in offline mode which was ridiculous and we didn't figure out that this was a problem and how to fix it for about like eight months so uh it would have been really nice if that was easily explained somewhere and i'm sure it was and we probably just missed it but it definitely was a little bit of a damper on that experience for a while booyah says have you ever cosplayed there are the pictures i put them on the screen they're right there oh look at those boyback also asks are you artistic uh i like to draw but i don't put a lot of effort into drawing things in the sense that like i'm not really like trying to become a better artist actively but if i have to i can draw enough that people know what i'm trying to show i don't really have a finished piece but i do have like a favorite little pencil drawing that i have from a long time ago that i'm chucking on the screen right now look you get more pictures ooh and i am definitely more of a morning person than a night owl if i ever try to stay up like super late on a stream if we ever go to like one like am or something in the future i will probably reach some level of incoherency that'll make me have to stop streaming optimistic says can you do a 20 minute video with just your cats i love cats well i did make a video with my cats in it but i can also give you this hi oh you were just oh you just wanted to scare me oh it might have oh it might have worked thanks thanks class quantic asks do you have ocs splatoon or not what can you tell us about them uh within splatoon i wanted to actually have my inkling have like more of a thorough backstory and i was originally like trying to set that up when i started doing the ad stuff and i started like working in coats with sheldon but i didn't know really where to take it i've talked to people about this before and my inkling was actually supposed to have like a name like her name was supposed to be slushy because she was a sloshing machine mane and that was in my brain like yeah this is perfect you got the word play going on you can give her a personality make her work at ammo nights and then it and then it never really developed beyond that but i would really like to imagine that like my inkling oc is like an alternative version of myself like not exactly like myself but like definitely has at least a few of my own personality traits it was probably slightly a self-insert i think being an inkling she probably wouldn't actually be good at math like i am though that would definitely be one of the main things that's different drea asks what is one dream that you'll never forget lol see what i did there i see i like the pun so i kind of half forgot this dream but i found it in a text chat that's why i like haven't lost it so i'm gonna try and put it together for you the best that i can i used to have a lot of like semi-lucid dreams where i feel like i would always be like it was like watching a movie kind of where i would like see myself doing stuff and be like kind of aware of the things that were going on and like i would want to control the dream but i like i wouldn't be able to but i would have all the emotion and everything like i was living out the dream and one time i was hanging out with my friends and uh the person that i remember was in the stream for sure was actually vasco but we were all hanging out and having a fun time like like like having like a private battle and then like somebody like teleported into the room and it was kind of like in the style of one of those stupid like pop-ups you get where like you know they're like oh we're gonna put viruses in your computer and you have to pay money that's so you can get the viruses out of the computer and and i remember vasco was like oh god not that guy again and i was like oh that guy again and i i don't remember much of the dream beyond that but i remember we were all like super worried about this hacker guy taking all of our data and our files and then i woke up and i and for like a good minute or two after i woke up i was still genuinely concerned i remember i got up and like like checked my laptop just to be like safe and then i sadly never had like a follow-up dream so i never was able to find out like if it continued or not like i tried i went back to sleep to try and like reinsert myself into that story to try and like fix the problem but all i did was like fall asleep normally after that and then i woke up and i was like oh samboy asks what's your favorite villain in nintendo games honestly it's probably just bowser i know that it's like not like a very fancy villain but i just kind of always liked bowser they've done a good job at like characterizing him over the years they gave him that cute little parental controls video of bowser jr i just i hope that nintendo keeps trying to give bowser a personality because there's more to him than just being big bad guy i mean he's also like a terrible person but he's got like an interesting character that i really don't mind learning more about if that makes sense brandmation asks q a does tippy give tips at restaurants he does but it's not the kind of tips you're expecting you think he's gonna give money but sadly he is a cat so instead he gives just really sage advice and then walks away it's pretty cool grass asks what was my all-time favorite splatfest i think i've answered this one before but it's the family versus friends splatfest mostly because it was a simple time where i played a lot with my old team and we pretty much just played the whole splatfest together the whole time and it was really good i have a lot of really positive memories associated with it cap asks what is your favorite jacket that you own it's it's this one i've taken pictures with it before on purpose it's oversized but it's so good swago asks question what is your favorite block in minecraft just regular old normal glass i love to build stupid underwater domes that i almost never finished i would love to someday like build something using like all the different colors of glass i'm not even sure how you get that but next time i play minecraft i'm gonna find out because i want to michael asks what was the most difficult course you took in college if i had to pick just one it'd probably be my introduction to java course that i took in my second semester or freshman year not because it was like the most difficult course that i ever took in my life because i went into it knowing so little that i almost failed by like halfway in the semester and i had to like double down on studying for like just this course to understand how coding worked and it was worth it because like i got an a minus in the end but it was definitely like a lot of effort to get that or if i had to pick another one uh during grad school we had this like accelerated speed like hey look here's all of calculus and all of algebra in like three months and it was it was definitely something cause you forgot something they weren't going to stop to re-explain it you said to learn as you went and i was really bad with linear algebra because i only had like one course about it like really early on during my like time in undergrad so that was also very bad that one i did not survive as well but i still passed and that's all that matters you know c's get degrees i got a b-minus snowflake the legend asks question how did you first meet sheldon let me let me get into my storytelling voice here it was a dark and stormy night during 2015 i looked at my wii u game and i thought to myself oh today would be a great day to play splatoon i looked at my gear i still was only playing with a splattershot junior i felt so weak so alone and i realized in that moment that i needed to take a chance i needed to go shopping for the first time in my splatoon existence i walked up to the store and i saw a horseshoe crab in the shop and i realized the glory that was different weapons every weapon so unique so many different combinations of subs and specials and i knew in that moment that i wanted to know everything that there was about weapons so i filled out an application and i became sheldon's right hand squid and i have been happy ever since that chill agent asks what do you think about the current status of pokemon post the crown tundra i don't think pokemon is doing as bad pokemon sword and shield the storyline was really interesting it's just that it like felt like it was really rushed to like get to that conclusion point i really would have loved like more antagonists or like more build up towards what was actually gonna like happen in the story but the crown tundra portion of the game at least feels like an older school pokemon game it feels like every single thing has a purpose and one of the big things about pokemon games these days is they feel so open but there's not always like a lot to interact with in those open spaces if that gets fixed in future games i feel like future games will be really good otherwise though i really like the designs the new pokemon and i want to have faith that things can turn around i really want to know what's going to happen next year with the anniversary that's got me that's got me real ready i'd love to like record a reaction if they put a big video out or something like a direct i don't know if they will but stay tuned fries asks are you happy with your green screen and i'll say yes i recorded this little section for the tiny controller video that never came out so i'm just gonna put it right here because it's great ah what a beautiful day to make bad choices when i play splatoon 2 for the nintendo switch like do you see this pro controller here i don't think i'll be eating this today so emmy asks q a question if you could be a splatoon agent including one and two which one would you like to be i think i'd want to be agent 4 i just find like people's like re-characterizations of agent 4 to be really good i like looking at people's agent 4 ocs i wanted to make an agent 40c of my own one time it never really came into being but maybe someday i had like a song like half written for my own agent for that i was gonna put together to like make storyline for her maybe someday it'll still happen because i really still want to write that musical number liam says a question is one of your cats more annoying than the other which and then the question pretty much just devolves into show me your cats and i will say tippy is without fail the most annoying of our cats he will do anything for attention he's the most likely to steal food he breaks my stuff and he also steals uh places like chairs like in this little video right here that i took last night i'm gonna get pictures can't we turn on the light that's what he does he steals the chair right away huh you're a chair thief yeah look at this way you gotta admit to your crimes look he's even got his paw like on the blanket he's like i don't you talk about hi baby she's so tired from taking your chair gina says question if you didn't start a youtube channel what did you be doing right now so if i didn't start this youtube channel i think i would definitely be working in new york city or at least a lot closer to the city i started this youtube channel right before i started going to graduate school and then i didn't actually start really making like content that i liked until i was already in graduate school i got my master's degree last year in like may so that's may 2019 in case people are watching this video in 2021 because oh my god it is gonna be 2021 in less than a month from when i'm recording this oh so after i got that degree i used to get a job but i kept it here on the island so i could keep making content i feel like i probably would have ended up in the city otherwise because like there are a lot of job opportunities out there but i'm okay with not being in the city because like the commute would be really long and because my commute is shorter i'm able to do things like this i'm very happy living my double life of doing job stuff and then doing youtube stuff i think i'm really just glad i'm able to do this all the time autumn says question if a yee haws but hausey how will haw ye yeez ha it took me multiple times to read this question and i still don't have an answer for you so i will say that ha is gonna be very very very inspirational they're going to make a big old speech and that's how they're going to convince those years to finally haw isn't that just amazing i bet it would make a great movie justin thorne says what happens if a person on the opposite splatfest team watches one of your this team only videos you see when people do that they leave comments on the video saying like haha i'm on the other team and i'm watching the video and everyone benefits from that you get to be a funny sneaky guy and i get extra comments on my video agent octo asks q a question what would you rather do travel through time or stop time i feel like no matter which one of these you pick you're still getting older i'm assuming while you're doing these things so i feel like i would rather be able to like travel through time than stop time because if you like stop time and then you start it up again i'm assuming that you've gotten older while everyone else has stayed the same and if you keep doing that like over and over and over again throughout your lifetime there's gonna be a point where you're like accidentally like a year older than your friends or something and that seems really weird i don't i don't do that shy boy says turkey or ham ham all the way every year we buy too big of a ham and then it sits in our fridge for two weeks but here we are i can tell you that right now i have a little too much ham in the fridge red spy says when splatoon stops updating weapons and stuff then will you bring back the fictionaries maybe i would really like to do like a video series on like all the modes i feel like that's pretty simple and fun to do and i would like to do that that seems accomplishable and red spy says what game are you streaming on december 15th which i'm assuming is your birthday well it is a tuesday so it'll probably be a more random game maybe like genjin maybe like an indie game who knows we'll find out cause i don't know yet i usually plan out my streams the week of or even sometimes the day of ethan says what do you think is a bigger pain wet socks or wet sleeves i'm gonna say wet socks because if you get your sleeves wet during the day you can probably find a way to dry them off and get some like paper towels or napkins or you know like you know just shake them around a little bit but if you're in the middle of the day and got wet socks what are you gonna do take them off and then you're not wearing socks anymore and now your feet are uncomfortable in your shoes agent ruby asks q a question why why did you make this a series oh well i honestly just liked doing q and a's and i was like well if i just do one every month or so then everyone will get to answer questions because people always ask hey vic what are you gonna do a q a and now i've just kind of made it like a standard on the channel i'll do them pretty often it's also a really good excuse for me to take lots of videos of my cats or my dog like this one but speaking of q and a's this q a has come to a close you never would have guessed that'd happen right if you'd like to participate in the actual december q a just like this is the actual november q a leave a question below i usually get to around 25 or 40 questions per video so get those fingers flying and i'll pick the ones that i feel like i can answer the best the next q a will get to ring in the new year it's it'll come out ideally on december 30th that's the last wednesday slash thursday of the year i'll go back and actually add 2020 to all the q a thumbnails at some point thank you for your patience drink more water and stay safe because the content i'm looking to create will sure keep making you happy here's to a great december or whenever you're watching this video yay bye you

be left for at least 24 hours before being painted over students know when they can begin to paint over the previous message on the rock by the two smaller rocks in front of it one for the date and one for the time at which the message was painted the rock was originally placed where the fountain as today on the hill in front of the dining hall the spelling of the rock came about as a means to

topic school of education the school of Education has several graduate programs one notable one being a doctorate in philosophy PhD in educational studies with a concentration in cultural studies from the educational leadership and cultural foundations department the history of the school of education of UNCG has its roots in the founding of the university itself originally designated in 1891 as the North Carolina State Normal an industrial school UNCG was established as a school to train women educators based on the assumption that if women received training they would in turn educate their children and ultimately improve the level of education and literacy in the state founding of the Normal was a long time in coming although providing state supported higher education for women in North Carolina had been an occasional topic of discussion among educators the idea did not appear to be taken seriously until after the Civil War when the idea was first formally proposed to the states legislators all of whom were men it was overwhelmingly resisted it was not until Charles Duncan McIver reminded the General Assembly that the state's constitution asserted instruction of youth would be provided at low prices and would be encouraged at one or more universities McIver argued that women were part of its youth and were therefore rightfully entitled to an education in addition to the constitutional basis for establishing an institution for women several other factors came into play first there was an extensive need for qualified public school teachers a career path assumed to be especially attractive to women also there was overwhelming evidence that the public school system in North Carolina was among the worst in the nation for example the average national expenditure per student enrolled in the public schools was seventeen dollars and sixty-two cents but North Carolina spent only three dollars and 36 cents per student similarly the average national length of the school year was 135 days but it was only 60 days in North Carolina indeed for almost a decade after the normal was founded the curriculum involved diplomas awarded for work that was distinctly below college level at the time few public high schools turned out female graduates who were prepared to handle college-level work the curriculum was gradually modified over time and the Normal School became a full-fledged College in 1897 baccalaureate degrees followed in 1903 and graduates were awarded a diploma and life license to teach in North Carolina topic College of Visual and Performing

Amanda Literary Devices
well student uh in previous period we have seen the poem amanda and you have understood better so today we will have certain revision of the poem what exactly happened from the beginning to end and then we will go with the literary devices so what happened first uh if you see uh stanza is so what happened first a little girl amanda is biting her nails that that was the first incident then her mother asked her not to do so okay then third amanda is putting her shoulder down then again there is a there was rejection of her mother so that was in the first her mother asked her to lift up her shoulders and adopt the right posture that we have seen the first answer then there is a language ambulance and then she went into the film imagination right she went into the imagination she was thinking that she is alone in that particular uh c which is uh which has the metaphor of the emergency right emerald method uh like green color is one of the chain right and then where the soul inhabits when we see is that and c is looking like a near-mind man made me thought a creature who has upper body like cool and lower body is like a you know aquatic creature here this fish then again there was a certain question by her mother that amanda did you finish your homework amanda the did you id room amanda so another questions were there many questions were there i thought i told you to clean your shoes as well so these these were many questions by the amanda's mother to her then again she uh went in the imagination uh field of imagination she said that i am orphan girl and she's roaming like any you know free world uh then pattern of does he was doing in the sand with the bare fitted actually uh in the actual existence he could not do that so she's imagining that and what she said she has said the metaphor that silence is golden and freedom is sweet that she has told again in the third santa we have seen don't eat the chocolate amanda remember your acne amanda and then videos please look at me when i'm speaking to you amanda again many questions were there from the uh from her mother amanda that chocolate should not be eaten by you or you have acne so maybe because you are in teenage so we should not eat that otherwise again pimples will come back because of the excess oil you have to face that pimples and all because you are a girl and you have to maintain your thing maintain your many things and this is the code of conduct of the society then again uh she went to the uh her imagination world and she said i am uh rapunzel i am not uh care lifestyle is tranquil and rare i will certainly never let down my pride here and she said that i am not you know here i am right there rapunzel remember means i told at one of the princes okay fairy tale it was described here by the poetess and uh she's locked in one of the tower uh which was missy was captured by the witch that she has said and what she said i want to uh leave you there lonely so i will not lay my hair down as we have learned yesterday in this previous lecture that rapunzel was one of the fairy and she used to put her hair down and then when her beloved person used to come there and which also used to come there but now she don't want to allow anyone there she doesn't want to allow anyone there she doesn't want to allow her mother as well and in the last stanza of the poem we have seen that that uh when all this torturing thing happens with them amanda and they say nope she remained very unhappy and upset so that time her mother said stop that sucking at me and uh you are always so muriam and anyone would think that i nagged at you amanda and then mother urged her don't be upset otherwise others always think that i'm just transferring you i'm making you upset i'm making her cry so that should not be there that if you just keep quiet don't don't cry don't be upset that's what all we have seen in this poem and we have seen that uh how amanda has certain negativity about her mother about her family members and wife mother was behaving like that because she wants to follow by the amanda the code of underwater society she doesn't want that her mother doesn't want that my daughter should not become spoiled kid in the society in the measurement of the society because there are certain norms of the society where certain measurements are there then we can understand that this particular child is very good one very proper child that she wants that is why she was torturing to amanda so that's what we have seen the whole poem and yesterday i have conveyed one message to also you that how we should not uh you know that blame our parents or blame our endeavors because they are thinking good about us right so today we are going to learn uh more thing about the poem we have seen the theme we have seen the summary of the poem right now also we have taken a glance at this whole poem the summary of the poem now we will see that certain uh poetic devices are used here okay we'll see that one by one what exactly the devices are so first one is uh anaphora already we have learned that the anaphora literary devices in the ball poem anaphoram is what uh repeated use of word at the start of the consecutive two lines okay that those nfris are used here in this poem we will see that one by one as soon as the use of sound uh mobile repeatedly means for example we know that vowels are there a e i o u suppose this a e i o u are repeatedly used in one one of the line then it can be said as a and uh as soon as the meta for you i don't know directly comparison with the one thing to another for example you are land of the class miss one of the boy has been compared directly to the lawyer so like that example also we can see here metaphor we have seen that example uh for example uh silence is gold or freedom is sweet so directly it is compared or emerald uh c ocean right now brinkler directly then uh repetition with repetition of any word uh if it is found in the poem it is called repeatedly uh repetition uh literary devices or figure of speech we can say repetition is not any for example amanda amanda amanda all the many times it is repeated in the poem then you can see alliteration any particular sound is repeated for example a sound will be a naught but we can say a is repeated again and again or maybe s sound is repeated again again means any sound is repeated again again it is a alliteration so then allegiance or use of the famous fairy tale character so we can we know that it is a rapunzel one character one theory uh we have used here in this for in this are used there references so allergen is their use of the famous fairy tale character and then last one uh consonants so already we have run here assonance and then console what is the difference between these two so that makes use of vowel sound repeatedly and consonant means user most of the time uses of consonant sound regret okay so this is the basic information about literary device i have defined you what exactly frequencies these are there and then we'll go one by one in the first terms we can see don't bite your nails amanda don't hurt your shoulders amanda stop that slouching instead of straight amanda so don't bite and don't hurt so we can see here enough for our literary devices here because don't bite don't don't worry is repeated in the consecutive two lines at the beginning not in the middle so what is the repeated use of the word at start of the two more lines so it is a anaphora literary device so we can understand anaphor i use here in the first stanza don't bite your ness amanda and don't hurt your shoulder amanda okay then we can see stop that sloshing and sit up straight so s sound is repeated so here electrician any particular sound is repeated so stop that slouching and sit up straight so stop s this launching is seat s and straight s so s sound is replaced with the alteration literary devices then again amanda amanda amanda right now so here amanda so repetition also we can see so amanda v word is repeating again and again in this poem if we go in another uh third center did you finish your homework amanda did you tidy your room amanda so here did you again did you did you both the words are repeated in the two consecutive line at the beginning so again and up for literary universes we can found here then we'll go further don't eat that chocolate amanda remember you are acne amanda so amanda is repeated repetition we can understand one more thing uh you remain here i am an orphan roaming the street i pattern soft dust with my hushed bare feet i the silence is golden silence is golden so silence is directly compared with the gold so we can understand here metaphor anything is directly compared to any other thing so it is a metaphor so silence is gold gold here metaphor again freedom is sweet so freedom is compared to street things so metaphor devices are used here they will go further in the next page i am rapunzel rapunzel me sword again i told halogen use of the famous fairy tale character so it is used here it has been used here so it is a allergen okay when when in the poem any famous fairy tale character is used it is a halogen then life hand towel trunking and rare again here life in a tower tranquil and rare so tower are then tranquil are a rare r so r sound is repeated so here comes on the move to the use of the function and sound repeated so which one are sound is repeated so it has consonants and as soon as we will see one one example is there in the beginning as soon as so where o sound is repeated for example i thought in the third century i thought i told you thought oh i told oh told you then to clean your your shows so o is repetitive in that line so it is the astronauts okay so these all literary devices we have seen in this om now we will see the rhyme scheme of the poem if you see don't bite your nails amanda don't hurt your shoulders amanda stop that sloshing seat up straight amanda so you can understand don't bite your nails amanda hey don't punch her hunch your shoulders amanda a they stop that slouching and sit up straight here b because straight amanda and last one amanda again so it is a a a b a so what is the time scheme in the first a a b a a b a then then there is a language mrc where the soul inhabitant is me a mermaid drifting blissfully so all these three having e sound at the last okay so c me blissfully e so here c c c so almost in all stanzas there are uh this is the rhyming scheme for the first um stanza we can see a a b a and then the second star then c goes for the imagination that time the rhyming theme is c c c okay so the overall in whole poem uh we can see this is the driving scene so i hope that we have uh understood this literary devices throughout the poem so mostly which devices are used here anaphori is used mostly then as soon as we sort again i repeat use of the vowel sound repeatedly so always tell me which one then we can understand here question a a e i o and u suppose in any any line this a e i o u is repeated again again so it is a astronauts and after i told you that dependently any any word is used repeatedly in consecutive two lines at the beginning but at the beginning then it is a anaphora then again i repeat metaphor i told you anything is directly compared with anything then one of the things it is called a metaphor repetition any word is repeated again and again again and again then it is a repetition then alliteration means any particular sound is repeated maybe b sound repeated maybe c somewhat repeated so see how you repeated me thought word any um word from the poem with that particular line he started with the same letter in the electrician then allergen i told you the famous fairy tale uh character in the poem directly for example suppose uh gautam buddha or sri krishna is use that but fairy tale it is then consonants miss most of the youth of consonant sound again again in the poem then it is called a consonant consonant and sonos is not wobble sound repeated and consonant means consonant sound repeated so i hope that you have understood this all literary devices in the poem which we have used and also you have seen rhyme scheme a a b a and c c c so uh you just write down this all examples in your notebook of the literary devices okay so i hope that you understood very well this lecture thank you very much you

How I Would Rank Query Languages For Those New to Graph Database and Knowledge Graph Work
hey everybody so today we are going to be walking through some of the most common query languages used with graph databases and we are going to be walking through 10 different categories to understand which of these query languages best fit in those categories now I'm going to preface that does not mean these are the only graph query languages out there and it also doesn't mean that any of these graph query languages are not good for any of these categories this is really based on my own personal experience my own research and the people that I know in my community so if I missed your favorite query language or I didn't put your query language that you really enjoy in a certain category don't worry this is really just a bird's eye view of these query languages for people that are not as familiar with them other really critical thing to remember in this video your use case so any of these query languages need to be assessed through the lens of your use case alright so over here I am going to list out the query languages that we are going to be looking at today or in the case of graphql they're not actually a query language for graph Yes you heard me right if you don't know what graphql is it is not a query language on any kind of database it can be used with any database including graph and it is used oftentimes now to query graph data just not from the database it's from an API all right so that's the lineup and here are the categories that we are going to be looking at and I will explain each category as we go through starting out with which graph databases have proprietary query languages now this doesn't mean that some of the more agnostic query languages won't work with these graph databases but it does mean that these graph databases are very specifically calibrated to these query languages so it's good to know which ones go with which language if you already have a graph database that your company is using or that your company prefers because if you're just starting out you probably want to start out learning the query language that you're going to use the most in your day job all right number two is most graph database agnostic these are the languages that you would want to learn if you don't really know which graph database you are going to work with or if you want to make sure you get mileage out of the language that you choose because these are used in a lot of other graph databases they're not proprietary like the last grouping and so the property graph side of this is going to be Cipher and open Cipher there's a lot of different graph databases that use one or the other and then on the rdf and Owl side it's definitely going to be Sparkle not all of those triple stores are going to use Sparkle star but also Sparkle and Sparkle star are standards based so anything that picks the rdf and Owl standards up is going to use that Sparkle standard as well now I'll also throw in here a non-graph query language and that is graphql because it is used by a lot of folks in the graph space to get at graph data without having people know graph data so this is it just deserves an honorable mention here all right so category number three is modeling effort so no modeling is uh going to be easy but if you're just creating a base model to test any of these out anything that really Falls in that label property graph is going to be a lighter effort on the modeling side than something let's say like sparkle because Sparkle is based on rdf and rdf has a pretty high learning curve and it requires a lot more effort to actually model something for you to make query work all right so the next category is GitHub repos so if you are trying to experiment with which query language is going going to be best for you being able to go to GitHub and find open projects is probably of benefit to you and a bonus feature of this category is I'm also going to tell you which programming language is often associated with each of these query languages that does not mean there aren't a ton of private projects out there that are using other query languages I can only access the open ones of course and it also doesn't mean you can't use any programming language that I don't have listed you can of course use other programming languages I'm just talking about the ones that are the top picks according to GitHub okay the next category we're looking at is open resources so this is open data sets open tutorials uh open projects that you can go and check out an open tool so you can go and try the tools out or modeling techniques so basically if you want to go and try this out yourself what are some of the uh ways that you can do that on your your own without having to pay for something now why you might want to start with some of these query languages that have corresponding open resources is it might actually be easier for you because there are a lot of things that you can reference or you can spin up and spin down and it's low risk because you can make a lot of mistakes without having to pay for something up front so that's a big reason I wanted to add these in here going hand in hand with open resources is also communities of support so a lot of graph databases and query languages have their own communities of support people that are rallying around each other to really help those that are starting out those that are struggling with something complex I know some like Cipher have things people called ninjas where they're people that are well versed in how to use the query language and the the resources that go along with it so if you're starting something new having a community of people to turn to when you get stuck is really important now the use case here is machine learning there are tons of ways of doing that and especially with graph that's probably a whole other video but for this and the query languages I'm going to stick with what we found in the GitHub repo analysis where gsql and Cipher had the most python of course all of them also had some python mixed in Python of course is one of the main machine learning uh programming languages certainly not the only one and it's you don't always have to use Python to do machine learning there's a lot of Plug and Play tools that do that too so I also have sparkle here as an honorable mention Sparkle isn't applied to machine learning as these other two but what it does have is rdf which has an inference model associated with it now inferencing you can think of it as a form of machine learning it's not exactly that but it's similar enough that I'm going to put it here just as an honorable mention so that you are aware that sparkle does have some things that you can do in in that inferencing vein and I've also used Sparkle in uh use of a lot of machine learning projects too so it's it's definitely good for that if you want to try it out all right so the next category is SQL users so if you're not using graph quite yet now first I will point you to an honorable mention because they use SQL as their query language and that is Timber they actually allow you to use SQL queries on top of graph so that is one that I'm going to say it all is an honorable mention that I did not introduce in the beginning but it certainly wanted to go and check out if you haven't checked it out before so these query languages of course are going to be potentially easier to pick up if you are already a SQL user now keep in mind that's maybe not where you want to stop because there's a lot more to graph and what graph offers then your relational database is due but SQL is the most popular query language for relational so if you know that these might be easier for you to jump into get familiar with graph and then maybe jump to another type of graph query language that is not as SQL like later on all right and wrapping up the video I'm going to be showing which of these query languages have been featured in any of the honest reviews that I have done on the channel so I will link all of those videos down below if you want to go and check out what these might look like in practice and uh then we're also going to jump into what query languages do I use on a relatively normal basis and again this does not mean any of the ones not on my list are not good it just means that I have to pick which languages are going to be the most useful for the projects and the things that I am working on and the things that are available to me in my normal life outside of what I do in YouTube all right so I hope this rundown has really helped you get a feel for how the different query languages kind of uh rank when you put them all together all of them are great don't think this video is telling you not to look at one over another but I just wanted to make sure that if you're not familiar with this and you're kind of trying to figure out the whole landscape that you had something of a cheat sheet to help you along uh that decision-making process alright so with that I want to thank you very much and I'll catch you next time

Marking Assignments with Multiple Owners in Teams
this is a video walkthrough for anybody looking to find a way to solve uh using multiple users to mark comment or edit a work within a microsoft team so the first thing you'll do when you're going to set this up is you'll go to the particular group that your group classroom your group owner in and then you'll come up to the three dots directly to the right of the name of the group that'll give you access to the team management settings which then will actually give you uh the different members of the group now as you can see here you have two different types of members in the in any group you have owners which are if you create the team you're an owner or you can be changed to an owner from a member if you're added to the group what you'll want to do to add additional members to your group is you're going to want to select owner as uh the data security designation for that particular person the particular member that will give them access to actually editing any work that's there then when you come back into your file or files or your uh when you go to add an assignment and let me just come in here to do that come in and create an assignment just add your team to this your assignments to the team once you're in the team assignment and you've created a brand new assignment with let's say 10 points and everything is assigned for that assignment even if it's a pre-existing assignment you can once that's all done and it's assigned once you're in here anybody whether it's been returned or even if it's been returned or turned in you can add marks to it and so can anybody else who's marked an owner you can also go in and add a netic comments specific to that group um and that's how you do that if anybody has any questions please don't hesitate to ask i'll be happy to run through this walk through thank you and have a great day

Console Wars Are SO 2021! - DTNS 4204
coming up on dtns scott johnson explains why sony and microsoft's acquisitions are more about metaverse than consoles central bank digital currencies spread farther across the globe and the contender for the next big content app is also a shopping app this is the daily tech news for wednesday 2 2 20 22 in los angeles i'm tom merritt and from studio redwood i'm sarah lane in salt lake city in the frog pants studios i'm scott johnson and i'm the show's producer roger chang there's a longer version of this show called good day internet where we talk about the buzzy tv shows today you can get that at patreon.com dtns speaking of patrons let's thank a few top patrons today they include vince power john and becky johnston and chris beneteau let's start with a few tech things you should know [Music] in its uh third quarter earnings report sony said that it shipped 3.9 million ps5 consoles through the holiday quarter that's up 18 on the quarter through the end of 2021 in total sony shipped 17.3 million playstation 5 consoles 3 million fewer than at the same time from its release compared to the playstation 4. overall gaming revenue decreased eight percent on the year to 813.3 billion yen which is about a hundred ten million us dollars its image sensor division saw revenue increase though 22 percent to 57.5 billion yen spacex announced a new high performance tier for its satellite inter internet service called starlink premium coming in q2 this will use a high performance antenna that can perform better in extreme weather conditions something pertinent right now offering download speeds between 150 and 500 megabits per second and upload speeds up to 40 megabits per second the antenna hardware will cost you 2500 smackaroos and service for that tier starts at 500 a month oh wow i mean it's going to appeal to some people but boy is that not cheap the company log me in which owns gotomeeting and also lastpass announced that it will change its name to go to the company still plans to proceed with its spin-off of lastpass into an independent company ah they should have called it go to log me in oh that's what you did alphabet earned 30.69 cents a share in q4 and revenue up 30 32 uh on the year to 75.33 billion uh important part of all of that number salad is that beat analyst estimates all of it overall ad revenue was up 33 on the year youtube ads brought in 8.63 billion missing analyst estimates so a little less than they expected uh cloud revenue a big one for google grew 45 to 5.54 billion with the units operating loss down 22 on the year to 890 million so still not making them money but make losing them less than he used to it's other revenue segments our revenue up 22 uh other revenue being all the other non-google stuff ceo sundar pichai said it had an all-time sales record for pixel phones in the quarter well if you're following the apple car which isn't a thing yet but might be a thing in the future this might be interesting to you the u.s patent and trademark office granted apple a patent for a car sunroof the sunroof uses variable opacity glass to let a driver a adjust transparency you know sunny or cloudy or whatever opens in sequence with the side windows rather than being a fixed panel on its own yeah intriguing always goes with our normal patent disclaimers of patents don't even usually end up in products but hey maybe this one will all right let's talk a little more about pop-ups sarah those things are asking me about cookies they always make me hungry and frustrated yeah so in europe these are most often part of the transparency and consent framework let's call it tcf provided to sites by the international advertising bureau or aib europe belgium's data protection agency fined aib europe 250 000 euros saying that the transparency and consent framework tool violates gdpr both in the nature of consent and also the data that it collects the key contention is that the framework itself shares your preferences with third parties for purposes of knowing how many people choose which options in addition to the fine the regulator ordered any data collected under the process to be deleted and iab europe to issue a series of remedies to come into gdpr compliance in a statement the chair of the regulator's disputes chamber said quote the processing of personal data like recording user preferences under the current version of the tcf is not in accordance with the gdpr because of an inherent violation of the principle of fairness and lawfulness it asks people to give their consent when most of them don't know that their profiles are sold countless times a day to expose them to personalized ads now johnny ryan who's a senior fellow at the irish council for civil liberties says this is a pretty big deal for europe but it could also have ripple effects elsewhere for example ryan says american lawmakers and regulators have often looked at the consent spam if you want to call it that happening in europe and called it one of the worst consequences of gdpr ryan also says that this new decision exposes that spam is a violation of the law and not a fulfillment of the law maybe uh this is far from over though uh it's it's pretty clear that iab europe is going to appeal the part about data collection uh they they haven't said they will for sure but they indicate that they will and that's kind of the more damning part of this decision it's it's the idea that telling you we're going to record your cookie preferences and we might share that with third parties is far from telling you and that could be used as a fingerprint to serve you ads somewhere else when you agree to cookies elsewhere uh because then we'll know like based on your pattern who you are it's not exactly personal info but i get what what europe is saying that that looks like it's going to turn into a fight the framework part of it sounds great we're like oh right when they try to trick you into accepting cookies by making it complicated uh it'd be great if that changed but i'm guessing whatever iab europe comes up with and and submits won't be that much simpler than what we have now yeah i can't imagine that they that there's ever a scenario where um where where cookies themselves are completely removed from the scenario in the same way that other obvious tracking methods are used or other obvious data collection methods are used i just think it's too universal that genie is out of the bottle in a way that even the europeans who get much more strict on these sorts of issues i just don't think they do it because there's a lot of arguments that can be made about how cookies are not just important to the internet but maybe required these days and if people want to do business and have an open commerce platform across the web um that they can't you know get that picky there i don't know it just seems like they can't and maybe that fight will be big enough that maybe they can and maybe all the right people involved can make it happen but i don't see it yeah when i when i was kind of trying to make sense of the story this morning i i was really stuck on this whole like what is personal information versus what is not personal information sure somebody may not you know as as an advertiser that wants to target me in the future they might not get enough information to do that accurately through cookie settings but once people kind of get wind of the idea that this information is being shared and floated around it scares people yeah well and and the contention wasn't that they shouldn't be allowed to collect it the contention was they weren't making it clear what it what's done with it later yeah that's a pretty easy fix it's just one that iab europe does not appear to want to make because they would rather you not quite know uh what you're getting into right just makes it easier to collect and i think this is another example of honestly the right instinct is to say let's force those websites right we all are like yeah let's force those websites to tell us what they're doing with cookies but look what's happened when you write a law they just figure out a way around the law whereas a better way might have been to just promote plug-ins that block cookies and give you control over it rather than relying on the websites and iab europe to come up with this janky way that tries to get around the point of the law and will continue to be an issue i think we tried to tell them about those plugins they didn't listen yeah you can still use the plugins though yeah that's true tuesday we mentioned multiple tech related policies announced by india and among them was a plan to issue a central bank digital currency or cbdc the reserve bank of india plans to launch the digital rupee on april 1st and side note yes india does know about april fool's day but that's when they scheduled it it is happening yeah uh india plans india plans to follow the launch uh with strict controls on cryptocurrency so look for that but they did not give details on the technical aspects of the digital rupee so it's fair to expect this launch is going to be a pilot not an active currency right from the start but i think i figured it was a good time to check in and see where cbdcs are we've been following them on dtns for a long time now and so those of you who listened you're you're up on this uh 87 countries are in some stage of development of a cbdc nine countries have launched one at this point uh the bahamas was the first uh it launched the sand dollar in october 2020. the eastern caribbean central bank launched something called d cash in march 2021 uh and that covers multiple countries the eccb as the bank is called operates for eight member countries seven of which have adopted d cash uh that includes antigua and barbuda saint kitts and nevis monserrat dominica san lucia st vincent and the grenadines and granada uh of the eccb countries only angia has not fully launched the cryptocurrency yet and the most recent launch was the inera in nigeria that was in october of last year so india if it did launch on day one uh would be the fourth bank to launch one they probably won't launch they'll probably go into a pilot like i said uh but there are three banks covering uh nine countries that have launched one uh you might say like wait i thought china did uh china is the biggest currency that's in the pilot stage uh also in the pilot stage are anguia uh for the previously mentioned d cash jamaica sweden lithuania thailand saudi arabia south africa the united arab emirates ukraine hong kong separate from the digital yuan malaysia singapore and just at the end of january south korea finished phase one of its pilot and started phase two so those are countries that have a digital currency out there that some people can use but it's not fully launched yet of the rest of the world's biggest economies japan russia australia brazil and canada are in the development stage so they they've got something under development but it isn't even in the pilot stage yet and the us uk and most of the eu with the exception of the previously mentioned lithuania are in the research stage that's where they're writing papers about it but they haven't actually started developing one so um i have a question the uh the idea of a crypto and it's not even really a traditional cryptocurrency i don't know if you think a lot of people know that currency yeah yeah it's just a digital currency and it may be backed by some of the cool technology that cryptocurrency is benefiting from in terms of security but but it's not quite the same they're not mining coins or any of that so yeah is the idea here that if you have a digital currency backed by a government that that automatically not automatically but maybe helps ensure that it's less volatile than say you know cryptocurrency as it currently stands but bitcoin is well done it could be less volatile than that yeah i would say i would assume so right tom the idea would be it's only as volatile as the currency it's based on so a digital dollar in the us would be as volatile as the actual dollar which isn't very volatile at all these are all tied to fiat currency exactly yeah these are central bank digital currencies now sometimes they're issued in a different way uh depending on how how they're operated there's different developments but but mostly they are backed one to one by the currency of that same central bank and the other thing i didn't realize is the the main advantage here isn't blockchain in fact some of these in development don't use a blockchain they actually use a central database and you may go like well how is that different than right now when i just you know spend money with paypal and i never actually see the money in those cases every dollar let's say for simplification every dollar you spend has a dollar somewhere that represents it with a digital currency it wouldn't and so with the digital currency you need some extra technology to make sure that that's not replicable that you can't alter that record that each digital coin is unique from the other they may be fungible you know they may be replaceable for each other but that it's that you you are safely keeping the number of coins in the system uh limited and you know how many they are and who has them blockchain's very good at that that's why blockchain is used for this because it's very efficient and it's good at handling a unique digital thing that's why nfts are popular on blockchains but some people some countries are are doing it with just a database that they they're trying to say well we'll keep this database distributed we'll have multiple copies of it and we'll keep it extra secure so i was surprised to learn that not all central bank digital currencies use a blockchain although most of them do because there are advantages to keeping that system but the the the thing that's similar amongst all of them is none of them need an actual physical object backing them um yeah and you need the i guess the important thing here is if you're backed by uh blockchain tech or if you're backed by whatever distributed database you're going to use the point is you cannot make it easily um replicatable yeah you can't replicate that money the same reason that we keep redesigning our paper money so it's harder and harder to to do right uh same thing so i'm i'm personally ready for this well let's go you know i am too i i really i really feel like the the the situation where this would not go well is if this became the only option and then you have a bunch of people who don't have mobile mobile phones or otherwise aren't able to participate in digital currency not happening anytime soon but you look at a country like india where you know the the the you know the the the spread of wealth is uh not uh it's it's uh it's it's different uh depending on who you are um and it's a real big country and a lot of a lot of people there so i i know that people aren't gonna be cut off from cash uh the rupee in this in this case anytime soon but it is interesting to like where do we get how do we get to the point where this is just what money is and we all remember you know putting things in our wallets yeah and there's lots of ways to do this if you're thinking about like well not everybody has a smartphone well a whole lot more people have smartphones than you than you might think there are also ways to use digital cards to handle currency this way and one of the big advantages to a central bank digital currency is it it makes it easier for someone to just have digital currency without having to open a bank account because opening a bank account requires a whole lot more things like an address and a financial history and stuff like that you you can create digital wallets much easier that are secure without having to need a whole to bring in the whole bank infrastructure into it hey folks what do you want to hear us talk about on the show one way to let us know is our subreddit we look at our subreddit every day and see like well what are you all interested in we're going to take that into account submit stories and vote on them at dailytechnewsshow.reddit.com [Music] game company acquisitions have really had a year in 2022. uh they're not closed yet but microsoft has a deal to acquire activision blizzard sony has a deal to acquire bungie uh epic already owns fortnite uh and those three facts led the verges tom warren to conclude that we're heading for a platform war not of consoles not of hardware but of virtual worlds uh microsoft if this goes well we'll have minecraft and warcraft uh sony might have destiny and of course epic has fortnite sony uh back that up a little on an investor call saying that it plans to launch more than 10 new live service games by march 2026 they're buying bungie for its expertise and technologies in order to do that uh scott follows this space closely of course and now that we've had a few days to digest and hear these comments from sony uh scott where do you think all of this is going well it's interesting when the first when the news dropped about the microsoft acquisition of activision blizzard king my first impression was oh okay well they're just doing the let's get everything under one umbrella so we can control as much of the space as possible we've already got a good install base for our subscription service and i i kind of saw that as the play so when i would see headlines that would say microsoft bets big on the metaverse by purchasing abk i was taken aback by that kind of annoyed by it because i thought well that's not what they're doing here at all this has nothing to do with quote unquote metaverse no matter how you're defining it and that's the other problems no one really knows how to quite define it yet but i've given that some more thought and in the wake of the news that sony is interested in buying bungie i'm more convinced than ever that while microsoft might have taken a scatter shot approach to this and i don't just mean this buyout but like their bethesda by all these separate individual uh publishers and people that they bob mojang's a good example um all those guys they did that in a way to yes capture as much with one big net as possible so you've got all of this meat back here but ultimately that does push them forward in being a leader in a potential quote unquote metaverse whatever that ends up being defined as or what you know what we end up getting and the sony acquisition some of the same things were said in different headlines and articles and i was a little more um okay interesting let's see where this goes because i actually think the overpaid for bungie if you're just going to look at what bungie is today today bungie is the studio that made all the halo games but they don't own those not even the old ones microsoft owns all that stuff so what do they have they have destiny 1 and 2. destiny 1 is essentially dead destiny 2 is their active running game it's a very popular game across all platforms and was like six most played game on sony service i believe uh last reported so you know a big revenue generator but really if you look at it just as what did they get today they get a big name with a lot of cred everyone loves bungie and they know how to make great shooters but they really get one game and then whatever little secret thing they might be working on next uh which is called matter by the way we don't know exactly what that game is but there's a lot of talk about that anyway uh then i started to think well okay well what if this is a more forward thinking purchase if you're going to make worlds that are first person potentially vr potentially not potentially both like a combination of how i get into this world doesn't really matter what interface i'm using i'm just getting into it who better that to have than somebody who knows how to construct and flesh out these 3d worlds in ways that is really kind of top shelf and that's bungie for sure so now that that high dollar amount doesn't seem as high to me i think maybe that's what they're investing in and if they really are going to have 10 live services a game or live games as a service style game slash experiences ready by that date uh that tells me that this is a huge cornerstone to that effort and they were willing to pay you know top dollar for that kind of talent and the kind of management the kind of the kind of people they have over there so if this rumored ip matter got sony's attention um and they probably got it from a few ways i mean the only way we know about it is an art direction job posting which said are you uh or see are you on a mission to create games that bond players together into deeply invested communities would you like to work on something comedic with light-hearted and whimsical characters that'd be a departure for them but anyway whatever all of that means tells us they've got something that's big that's social that is potentially aimed to be an answer to things like fortnight and other you know other sort of quote unquote metaverse experiences um i spent the last two weeks in and out of speaking of meta the actual company metas uh oculus's world uh world that they're building called horizon worlds and it's in beta it's available in canada in the u.s i think it still sort of depends on who you are if you get access but i've been in there for a couple of weeks talking to various people including some game developers and some folks at meta and that'll all come out later with some other stuff but the big takeaway uh while spending my time in there was that everybody meta included and maybe foremost are really hungry to to be the space not to be the game or not to be the collection of games or whatever but to be the place where everything happens and that means games within games worlds within worlds connected worlds to other connected worlds within those worlds literally the metaverse and it was clear to me how i mean they really want it and they're in a good position to you know they're in a bit of a lead right now on the vr side um i think they all are thinking this i think microsoft wants that real bad i think sony wants it really bad and after talking to a few of these people including ex naughty dog founder jason rubin over the week um it's very clear that this is the holy grail and next step for not just tech but for the gaming business in general um and you know they've got a lot of they've got a huge pla a bunch of huge plans he's head of play at oculus by the way that's his title and this is a guy who founded one of the most successful devs of all time he doesn't even need to be there but he has enough passion for it and i could tell in his voice how stoked he is about the idea of this being the place now whether it's their place or somebody else's place they also said we'd love to see more interoperability between these spaces and places but this sony acquisition to bring it back home of course all companies it could be like oh we hope we hope to have that we're not going to help you do that yeah i mean maybe maybe not wouldn't that be nice i think they need to personally if this is all going to work but uh or at least work in the way that the hot the pie in the sky is being described to everybody oh it will someone will do it and the companies that resist it will lose out i agree if you're not inter-operating you're losing you're going to lose this because it's just the internet yeah and hearing hearing you talk scott i really do think that the way this might evolve is people go to games and start hanging out doing other things i mean we've seen that in things like uh um league of legends and and world of warcraft etc where people just they go for the game but they stick around and hang out and chat and do other things you start adding that intentionally as part of a metaverse play whether you're microsoft sony epic or somebody else they come for the game they come for the open world but they start sticking around for other things and it's when where those other things start to merge with other companies things that it becomes the metaverse we'll see we'll see if and when that happens here but i don't feel like facebook aka meta has an advantage on the software side you have an advantage on the hardware side but if they're gonna if they're gonna be a player in this they just need to be the way people access it not i don't think anyone's going to come there we have never seen people go to facebook to play games right uh we've never seen people go to oculus to play oculus's games they they go to play games in general uh so yeah i think it's the people with the content the microsoft's the sony's who have the early lead on this yeah the way i look at it i don't know if this is if my quote is going to last the test of time but they all talk metaverse but they really mean our metaverse yeah so that interoperability is still a little bit of a of a far away thing i think we'll get there but back to sony for one quick point they had a thing for playstation 3 that took on some popularity called playstation home and they ended it kind of unceremoniously and not that far into its lifespan but a lot of what they're talking about wanting to do or a lot of what all of these companies are talking about doing a lot of those ideas were happening in playstation home and it was a lot like for you know second life and second life is maybe in some ways the grandfather here but but there's no doubt in my mind that if sony has a plan moving forward it isn't just to match game pass it isn't just to match uh some install base or or or who owns what developers and how many games are they making i believe now more than ever this acquisition and others like it are all intended to say we want to be the next place that people come and hang out regardless of what games are here that's the platform now it isn't that box anymore it's whatever this is and they all want it i might watch for sony microsoft epic to partner with a decentral land to partner with one of those more second life maybe even second life itself uh like companies as like you know this is our this is our backyard you you may come to play destiny but you'll head over to decentraland to hang out and we've partnered and interoperated maybe that's where we see the beginning of interoperation because they're basically the big guys right with with these newer companies you're basically saying the internet but this and i agree 100 the internet was never going to stay in aol's backyard it was never going to stay there but they wanted it to but it didn't and they may as well get used to that idea right now or else this is all a lost cause it needs to be there needs to be at least that common public square and we can all run off and do cool stuff but let's interoperate in that way and now now you're talking and also that's when core gamers start to listen all right real quick uh just just something to keep an eye on live stream stream live stream shopping huge in china big parts of asia growing fast in the us a possible rising star to keep a lookout for is whatnot it's a formerly la but now phoenix area startup valued at 1.5 billion dollars is expected to expand its workforce from 120 to 300 people by the end of this year uh and to that end what not just acquired pastel labs in order to aqua hire the services of former pinterest growth advisor jeff chang he'll focus on expanding the creator selling side of the business whatnot also just hired a way lifts head of growth in engineering ludo antonov who will become whatnot's head of engineering uh so what is it uh whatnot is a combination of youtube and ebay for lack of a better comparison or or for older folks think of it as qvc meets twitch creators develop an online live streaming persona that folks enjoy following and then sell them stuff uh what not started as a funko pop enthusiast marketplace but has expanded to people selling all kinds of collectibles uh sports and game cards toys comics vintage games sneakers vintage fashions lp final records stuff like that i mean the idea of this is not unlike when i walk into a physical store and go oh i really like the vibe of the store i'm probably gonna get something today it's it's same thing sure it's digital virtual rather but uh well and digital probably for however you're paying for whatever but uh yeah this is the this seems to me like just the the gradual progression of how we all sort of like something how it's presented how are you selling this to me and and a lot of folks online have have reaped the rewards yeah you see this stuff like on tick tock all the time somebody's entire account is dedicated to i just got these in and i'm wearing them now and i love them and then you have this option to say well i'm gonna go find those two and buy them this integrates those two aspects of that and says oh you're wearing them right now and i'm buying it right now you know like you really close the gap and if you like the creator you don't mind yeah being sold to right that's that's the key you're there you're you want to be here hoodie and drinking out of a patreon [Laughter] it's true though you know i a lot of people would be like what i'm not going to sit there and watch somebody sell something to me what about all the people who watch garyvc you know home shopping network i mean let's let's let's get real here you don't have to but if you want to and you like the folks that you're interacting with yeah i'm using quotes then this it makes perfect sense yeah one of the next big apps following on from tick tock might come out of this space keep an eye on it well we wanted to thank a very special patron today uh who has been with us for some time and that special patron is lynell lane who happens to be my mother lanell lane is one of our top lifetime supporters for dtns thank you for all the years of support mom thank you sarah's mom yay i just i mean we we love all of our patrons but this particular patron is my favorite it was her turn on the list we didn't special yeah there's no yeah we're not cooking the books here guys this is just she's just a supporter um mom also i didn't know that you had supported in that fashion uh thank you so much wow uh also thanks to scott johnson for being with us today scott what have you been up to oh man uh part of what's been keeping me so busy has been uh all this vr stuff but also in a weird way the opposite i've been talking about retro games for the last five weeks and doing it on a brand new show called play retro and i am having such a great time i am so obsessed with things i started buying different controllers and reviewing them for how you're going to play your old games playing those old games in vr what it's like to grow up in an arcade family and my dad ran arcades if any of that sounds interesting to you and you want to get your nostalgia on check out play retro wherever you get your podcast or you can check us out on the site over at frogpants.com play retro excellent well just a reminder to everybody uh if you want to join us live if you can we are live monday through friday at 4 30 p.m eastern that's 21 30 utc find out more at dailytechnewsshow.com live and we're going to be back tomorrow doing it all again just [Music] this show is part of the frog pants network get more at frogpants.com [Music]

INFOWARS LeeAnn McAdoo interviews Richard Gage October 8th 2015
joining me now in studio is Richard gage AIA he is the founder and CEO of architects and engineers for 911 truth thank you so much for joining us in studio it's great to have you here you're on eight day eight city tour of the great southwest screening your new film firefighters architects engineers exposed 911 myths it's pretty exciting man this is an unbelievable piece of work that Eric lawyer the founder of arc firefighters for 911 truth and I put together a few years ago we finally got this edited this is new information we expose 20 different myths that people are imagining in their minds about 911 and that the government is put out and NIST the National Institute of Standards technology they have completely missed the boat they've produced a fraudulent report and Eric lawyer former firefighter with Seattle Fire Department he he tears them apart one by one and then I also provide the information that just pulls the rug out from underneath the official story proves the evidence for explosive controlled demolition in all three of these high-rise that came down on 911 course gluten including building seven right which was excluded from the official 911 Commission report there cuz you know it came down the exact same way but probably doesn't mean anything so exactly I mean I feel like that's exciting that there are now experts continuing to come out a lot of groups obviously I spoke with Rudy dent 911 firefighter last year who said that he waited such such a long time to speak out because of course a lot of them were afraid losing their pensions and things like that I feel like that has sort of passed now people are ready for some truth in this specifically with the science now you're you've actually just released a new booklet it's called beyond misinformation what science says about the destruction of the World Trade Center buildings 12 and seven tell me a little bit about what pissed information what can people find yeah this is a 50 page booklet where we've condensed all of our best evidence in 50 pages and we've now distributed this to 40,000 people already in just a month and it's it's going like hotcakes we let it go almost that cost a couple of bucks it is it is amazing what we've done is take on not just the myths but the fraud of NIST for instance they try to say that building seven came down by normal office fires due to thermal expansion well these office fires were out over an hour before this building came down office fires have never brought down a skyscraper ever in the history of much larger longer lasting and right hotter flyers so we take them on one by one in this booklet and it's a very cool it's a quality booklet now people should be getting a dozen of these and yeah the amount there aren't I good times and useful yeah it is we're very proud of it and it's effective it'll stay on people's desks instead of like brochures where people might toss them uh this this is our best effort yet to to reach academic professionals we've sent 20,000 of them to architects and engineers we expect it to go the distance and and it it is full of of the best information the for instance the free fall of building 7 into its own footprint on the afternoon of 911 in under seven seconds this this can't be denied and where were blown away by by the the number of structural engineers for instance that say that they've they didn't even know about this building third-worst structural failure in modern history right and you would think that they would want to know what happened there so they could avoid that mistake or why hasn't anyone come after you know tried to sue any of the engineers there with the structural deficiencies there in the building so there's obviously some some issues there with that now what I'm really interested in before you start at this aight city tour you were doing some educational outreach at the structural engineering summit there was a more than a thousand structural engineers and attendance you had a booth set up there for some education on this what happened about that it's pretty exciting because just like you see on the screen we've got building seven going down at to freefall acceleration and we show the structural engineers did you know a third tower came down on 911 at our booth and it stops them in their tracks it's really exciting because they go no what are you talking about you go yeah well look at it tell me is this building coming down by fire or controlled demolition and they look at it they think well that's obviously controlled demolition ninety percent of them say this then we go then we have a conversation because they we go will hey this happened on 911 this was the third tower to come down this is the third were structural failure in modern history and you and I didn't know about this why aren't we being told why haven't the structural engineering codes changed and we ended up signing a quarter the people we talked to excuse me we we talked we've got 25 new structural engineers on the site signed up calling for a new investigation joining 2350 structural and structural engineers architects and many other technical building professionals wow that's that's pretty exciting so obviously people are still learning still waking up still expanding their minds with this this situation obviously is not going away you know regardless of how how much they try to bury this what do you think it is with the cognitive dissonance there how can people just accept this oh well they said it's science and and you're thinking we'll know thousands of professionals are saying that's never happened before or since it'll never happen again yeah well we were put into a state of shock on 911 and this is true as much for structural engineers as others we found out some of them will just say oh yeah fire could bring down that building freefall no problem they'll that they'll actually bypass their neocortex because not one of those eighty two columns gave any resistance which means it could they could only have been removed which can only be done explosively for which there's forensic evidence found by officials for thermite cutter charges it's all that can be this molten iron produced by thermal 2800 degrees required to melt iron the fires are only a quarter of that temperature in this building so they go straight to their limbic system the reptile brain and to whatever they have two comes out of their mouth is reinforcing their worldview and that's the way we work psychologically sometimes until we kind of something shakes us like nine years ago for me my whole worldview just turned upside down hearing this information from david ray griffin its cognitive dissonance and it takes years for some of us to get out of it right and end Matt Rogers here and he talked about the sickness of the American people and so sick to the point that they would elect Hillary's brain in a jar instead it on the Oval there in the Oval Office and let her run the country just her brain in a jar and that's how I feel sometimes thinking about this people are just still being fed spoon fed all of this BS with this story and you can look at the old videos that are there in the old newscast that they only aired one time and with the internet it's not going to go away all you've got to do is just do a simple internet search and say Pentagon plane 911 and where's the plane and so there's just this you know I just I don't know what it is with people so I really am super appreciative of the fact that you have just taken this on as your mission to get this information out there so this is austin here this is i guess what your sixth day of the southwest tour where else you're going what else is next for you pretty exciting we're jumping straight into after Austin we go to Houston and we'll be screening the the film firefighters architects engineers exposed 911 myths and and that then we go to Denver and if we're fortunate we're going to fly to Washington DC and film a public television talk show with the famous talk show host there in DC on the unburied sighting opportunity for us and then we start over in New England where will Tony zambo destructor structural engineer is actually mechanical engineer who does mostly structural work he and I will be teaching a group of a cup hundred civil engineers at the New Jersey Institute of New Jersey Institute of Technology in Newark this the first time we actually had civil engineers many of which are structural that will be showing building 72 will be showing how it comes down as fast as a bowling ball off the side of the tower with no resistance from those columns will be asking them to think can fire do this fire is an organic process moves through the building every 20 minutes or so and this building is fireproof bullet fireproof you couldn't even get hot enough to sag or fail in any respect so everybody knows once they start looking at the evidence like these civil engineers are going to do in New Jersey and hopefully we'll get most of them signed up onto our petition as well but then we take this film to 10 cities in New England Woodstock New York Southampton Portsmouth main Hanover will be at Dartmouth College that's going to be so exciting you're actually having to teach a class to teach people how to think about this reality well Richard gage thank you so much for being in studio exciting find out more AE 911 truth org and beyond misinformation org

Google CTF OCR Capture the Flag 3
okay again in this video series we are looking at the Google CAPTCHA flat for 2018 again shoutouts to live or flow and John Hammond because they're the ones that brought this to my attention no they didn't actually contact me bring to my attention ice watch their videos and liked it and I'd go through this and today we're gonna be looking at this one right here OCR is cool again I've made a script that automates through this if you go to my git lab page get lab comm for such male x1000 forward slash capital CTF you can download that and look at my scripts which automate it and give you the flag and then you can walk through those and see how I did it and before I did this one I actually watched John Hammonds video on it and he did good but III went a different route just to be different and I'll show you why because here it even gives you a hint again if you read the story here Caesar once said don't stab me and this is gonna be a reference to what you need to do to solve the code if you don't know what a Caesar cipher is a Caesar cipher is basically when you letter shift codes so if I write you a message I shift all the letters by a certain number so if I go you know a if I say shift by three ub b c d so anytime there's a d in my letter it's supposed to be an A and so forth and so on and there's actually a program part of the package on Linux systems called BSD games and once you install that package there's a program called Caesar which will shift letters for you which is how I John hemmond did it and I was like oh I'm sorry yeah Hammond Hammond and which was awesome I'm glad to know about this program but I didn't want to make like a video that's the same as his video plus I wanted to although we are going to be using some OCR tools and other things that aren't installing default system I wanted to try to see if I could do the cipher shift the the Caesar shift without installing without using that program using tools that are built into pretty much every Linux distribution so I googled it you know shifting letters over and I found and add it to my script instead of using the Caesar program I just use TR which is for replacing programs and it uses a print F and then it shifts and we'll look at that in a moment but I just did that to be different than him and make it one less package for people running my script need so let's go ahead and switch over to the shell here and I'm going to move into the OCR folder from my git lab project and in here let me go ahead and run my script there's already some files now I don't know if I made the script clean things up but you run it one second please right now it's Reis I download the image resizes the image runs OCR in it makes a few Corrections on my-my-my manually and then it gives you that's why it takes some second and I gave it the message so please one second please so let's go ahead and look at my code so again is it gotta give it passage ah so I'm gonna use test Iraq to decode the image so when you right now my script at the beginning removes any pngs and just dumps any error output to so if you don't have test rack installed my my script will say you check it and say you have to please install it and then says you'll probably want to you know aptitude if you're on a system runs aptitude test Iraq - OCR to install it and then exits one meaning that it failed to run because you need to install it anyway after that we make sure that we clear out any pngs that exists and then we download the zip file and unzip it from the website and then we say one second please again everything else here runs so imagemagick also needs to be installed and may not be by default but is on a lot of systems and here I did something a little different than John Hammond he scaled it to 300 he took the image and scaled it up to see if he got better results and he got close results but he still had to manually change a number of the characters but but real quick let's look at display OCR so this is the the image you get and if you just look at it you can see it's just a jumble of letters and it's an image so we have to either manually type this stuff out or use OCR to convert it to text and then we can run our script on it but looking through this it's kind of obvious again this is a beginners capture-the-flag all the the flags start with CTF and then have a code inside curly braces well right here you can see V my curly braces some letters Croesus so right away we know that this is our code and we already know that it's a seat it's like the Caesar cipher so here I can go okay we no need to do the alphabet the q r s t u T X Y Z where am i s v QRS TUV wxy Z ABC okay so just counting up my fingers from there from V wrapping around to C is 7 so we already know that our Caesar cipher is a shift of 7 I mean so at this point you can do it by hand but of course we don't want to do that we have one on it cuz because again if I was do em like you go and opq rst oh that's our second letter C T and then the next layer should be F why XYZ ABCDE F yeah so it's a seven shift cipher so you could you just manually write this down not that hard but we're gonna try to automate it as much as possible here but that's our code right there and that's all we really care about is this ciphering these words right here okay so looking back at my code here I'm using imagemagick to scale it up double the size double the resolution and I try a bunch of different resolutions for this image and I found that 200 did a pretty good job and I also went to the tesseract website and search for best size and they said the tesseract works best if you have a dpi of 300 so I changed density to 300 I don't know how these two you know effect each other when you're running on coal I guess but I ran that and then I put it to the same file and then I dumped the output of that of test iraq into a variable called txt and i was very very close there were two characters that i just could not get to completely convert but here what i do is even though i know it's a 7-7 shift cipher or whatever you want to call I'm shifting seven seven layers I want to cycle through all of them which is what John Hammond did on his website but I again did different he used a loop and he used the Caesar program he run looping I'm using a sequence 225 now another thing and I'm just picking on anjaan henman at this point he actually in his video use Caesar and he cycled from 0 to 26 because of 26 letters but really he only needed to cycle from 1 to 25 because a zero shift gives you nothing and if he went all way to 26 he's back at the beginning again so really he did two cycles that he didn't need to it doesn't make a difference I'm just giving him a hard time about that but no so here I'm saying you know sequence 25 so I'm shifting it one through 25 here and I'm echoing that number and text our text that we grab from test Iraq and I am typing that into TR and then we're going to run a sub command here of print F and we're using that variable so that's going to be our shift we're shifting and we're piping that into TR again but then the original TR command is taking all the capital and lowercase letters and shifting them this number I I know it looks a little confusing and the Caesar program is a lot easier I understand but again I want to do it trying to use a program that is built into every Linux system out there so that's what I did after some googling I did not know how to do this originally and then if we look back at our original image so when you're using an OCR program optical character recognition we're taking image and you're trying to convert the characters in that image to actually actual text characters on your computer different fonts it's like you can program your OCR to work with different fonts but here I'm just using the default you know tesseract and what I was realizing well one I always get this the letter O might come out as a number o or a lowercase o my commands capital o or the other way around same with peas peas might be capital peas or lowercase Peas it's hard to tell so you can usually clean that up by running it through some like you know spell checks and stuff like that to working with actual words but we're working with a long string there's words in there but they're they're all jumbled together so I did notice that when I ran it through test rack my code here a lot of letters were uppercase and if we again you

Daily Debrief: Gaza truce extended by two days
the truth between Israel and Hamas has been extended for two more days the original truth had lasted 4 days this comes after intense International pressure on Israel which carried out a genocidal war on Gaza for 48 days now this war is of course not over Israeli officials have indicated their intent to continue the assault after the truce but at least there will be a bit of a breather for the citizens of Gaza who have suffered this horrific assault we go to Abdul for details about the truths and what is likely to happen in the future a major Global meet on TV was held recently what were the conclusions this is the daily debrief these are your stories for the day and before we go any further if you're watching this on YouTube please hit that subscribe [Applause] [Music] button Abdul thank you so much for joining us so a very significant develop the extension of the troops for two more days so before we get into some of the details Could you actually tell us what the terms of this extension are and how did it come about the term are by and large the same as it was for the previous uh truths for four days uh Israel will release around 60 odd Palestinian prisoners in exchange Hamas is expected to release uh 20 for 2 10 on each day uh Israeli captive uh from its uh captivity uh apart from that the number of a trucks will continue to uh be the same uh pouring in inside the Gaza Strip from Egyptian border and so these are the basic uh uh conditions which have been the same of course it came about because of the pressure created by the uh uh Global community and a large number of uh popular pressure basically which we have seen through the demonstrations all across the world uh force uh even the US to basically exert its uh pressure on Israel to basically extended uh so Qatar and Egypt continue to be the mediators and because of their interventions immediate interventions this extension has come about yeah right Abdul of course uh this is just a bit of a temporary solution but could you also maybe give us an over outline of how the the first four days of the truths went you know the number of uh the people released the humanitarian situation also details of the increase the extent of the attack or the impact of the Israeli offensive on Gaza well uh for for first four days as it was agreed initially one is Israel released around 150 uh Palestinians from its prison most of them were women and children um uh in exchange Hamas released around 50 plus uh 50 as for the deal uh uh but uh additional captives which were basically requested by uh countries like Iran and other uh countries which have some uh influence on Hamas in in some way or other they also convinced Hamas to release additional prisoners uh so uh they were also released uh Israel allowed uh around 200 odd uh Aid trucks to basically go to Gaza and that basically to some extent of course restored some of the Civil uh civil uh Services which were which are completely destroyed uh uh in last 48 days uh in more than 48 days bombings and ground offensive particularly in Northern Gaza so uh some of the hospitals uh also received some fuel but a large number of them remained because the number of the amount which is allowed is not adequate to kind of fulfill all the needs uh uh needs in the Gaza uh as far as the overall destruction is concerned if you see most of the Civil infrastructure as inside Gaza is completely destroyed the Gaza universities in Gaza the schools uh uh the uh dispensaries the uh bakeries which basically provide food apart from that amus Parks like Gaza zoo and most of them have completely gone so we should remember that Gaza was already uh under blockage for more than uh 16 years which basically already had kind of destroyed the Civil infrastructure there it was all whatever was there was under pressure uh because of the huge population which lives in that small Enclave more than 2.3 uh million people over and above that the bombings have destroyed whatever was remaining there so even if in the last 4 days there was some relief some Aid pouring in some food some medicine uh uh fuel going in that is not that was not enough to kind of even uh restore the 10 to 20% of the whatever is required and that has resulted into now reports coming from different parts of Gaza of disease outbreak uh and then there are still people uh trapped inside uh the uh the ruins of the buildings which were basically bombed uh by uh by Israel and uh during these uh 4 days around 150 uh people uh basically bodies were recovered from inside those Dees uh and there are more people there are thousands of people missing and and most of them are feared to be trapped inside those Dees which were created due to the bombings on the residential uh areas by Israel uh for for over almost close to one and a half month so yeah that was the overall condition right Abdul of course uh we're talking about the extension of the truce but what really is the need of the hour is the SE is a ceasefire and of course like you said that has been the call uh from the streets around the world including in in the global North as well uh that has been the call from relief agencies but statements from Israel do not seem to indicate that they're in any mood for anything more than a temporary truce at this point of time and it doesn't even look like some of these the global North countries the biggest back backers are in any mood to also push for a ceasefire despite the fact that close to 15,000 people have died exactly uh if you see Israeli defense minister other officials have repeatedly said that they don't want to extend this truth Beyond s few days which basically will secure the release of the hostages whatever hostages uh Hamas has and that is their immediate Target uh they want to release as many people as possible and once it is done they basically want to continue their offensive inside Gaza so their object stated objective of kind of quote unquote destroying hamas's infrastructure in Gaza uh basically they want to fulfill it and uh this is also uh if you see follow the Israeli politics domestic politics there is a strong sentiment for that but also because the family of the host es taken have also created some kind of pressure so the Israeli government was in very in in a situation where it had to look for some ways to uh kind of make sure that maximum number of hostages are released so so these temporary truths and the extension which it got which it has got and maybe it will be extended for to to to two three days more in future nobody knows basically is with the objective to kind of uh release as many hostages as possible and uh as of now there is a pressure of course on Israel from the global uh uh powers from us from European Union if you see the statements made in last few days by some of the European leaders saying that there there is a need of uh permanent peace sorry permanent ceasefire in in Gaza um that pressure is there but that whether that pressure will work or not whether that pressure will remain the way it is now it also depends on on how Israel sees uh uh the overall situation in terms of um hostages one and the second thing of course uh Israeli Army was of course uh in a was over stretched because it the offensive went on for 48 days and it is not a easy fight for them so they also wanted to recuperate their forces to some extent and the truth is primarily seen as an strategic move to kind of provide some kind of break uh to the uh overstretched Israeli forces once they are their energy is restored it seems uh Israel is willing to uh continue the offensive and given the larger Politics as we have discussed already uh there is no reason that is Israel will the pressure will continue to be the uh be the same Abdul thank you so much for the analysis we'll come back to you as uh develop further developments take place on the show we have consistently reported on Humanity's fight against TB a disease which kills too many people even to this day the global South Bears the brunt of this disease and while there's been a return to prepandemic levels of reporting of cases people still struggle to access medicines and care it's in this context that the annual Union World Conference on lung Health was held from November 14th to 18th it brought together a diverse set of stakeholders to discuss issues around TB but the conference also brought out some interesting contradictions in this battle we go to jna Singh for more jna thank you so much for joining us like I said uh this TB is an issue we talk about very often on this show uh its various dimensions and the effect it has on millions of lives uh very unfortunate and here we have another Conference of course and I think many of these conferences are important because of of course some of the topics they discussed but also each of them presents its own uh you know version of challenges some of the questions that come up so maybe could you take us through this conference itself what is this confence confence why was why are we talking about it today uh yeah uh thanks happy to be back um so the union conference is an annual conference which is organized uh uh in collaboration with uh various funders um it can be civil society organizations some are actually big Pharma companies or diagnostic companies and they come together uh uh but also it provides space to uh the TB Community TB affected people and they have fought for this space uh and um that's why you can see them sitting on the table at times with the government and therefore in the union conference also um and it discuss a lot of things uh which are relevant for TB for that particular year um and um so so that's what we saw we saw a lot of presence of uh sessions related to science this time because many new uh scientific trials regarding medicines Etc happened for example the endtb Tri for uh drug resistant TP and how to shorten the time period to for the medicines to be given to patients uh so that they can recover faster and better um so so there were those presentations that happened um there was also uh a separate section of community connect where the TB survivors and the TB Community itself uh they were present and they would hold their own uh sessions and the issues and advocacy and Communications um and also talking about their daily lives uh so so these are the things that happened this time uh there was also a session and uh interesting presentations on the link between nutrition and TB and as many of us know that this year a landmark study came out um on TV which was conducted in jarand and India which actually clearly showed that if you are able to provide uh good nutrition to the patients and their families then not only you have uh better outcomes for the patients but because family is also eating better the transmission of TB and uh is less so less people because it's an infectious disease lesser number of people get infected by uh uh the TB affected population so so so there were these presentations and uh that's what it uh was very interesting to see yeah Jo also I believe quite a few controversies which also say something about how some of these conferences are organized so maybe could you take us to that as well uh yes um so uh I mean I have participated in a few of the Union conferences in the past this year I wasn't there uh but the issues remain the same and and I think this is becoming very frustrating and challenging for the TB community and the activists uh to sort of deal with uh because you keep getting discriminated against again and again uh so for example one major major issue that emerged was denial of Visas so the conference was in uh Paris in France and a lot of TB survivors they were not given the Visa and uh actually the reason given in some cases was that what if they go to the country and never came come back and these are the people who had full funding they had some of them had letter from the union conference also uh so there is and this has happened in the past also and there is a demand that the Union conf conference management has to speak to the governments wherever they are organizing and it is a rotation thing it gets organized across the world in various countries uh but it they have to choose places which are far more accommodating for people for diversity and you cannot have such racist uh U you know reasons for people not being able to attend in fact the main speaker for the plenary session the keynote speaker who was a TB Survivor could not get the visa and reach Paris um so so these were the major problems and that is uh the other thing which you see and again we have witnessed in the past uh is how the community the very use of the space the physical space uh and which is so discriminatory so the where the community is given the boots uh to organize and put their own stuff and do their advocacy it is always towards the dead end of the uh entire space and not where the the people would be passing so it's more like there is a space uh as if it's a they are a different people and not uh within the science within the experts uh space where people discuss like big things right science and all so this kind of a discrimination is really problematic um even the room where the activists and the survivors gather to to talk and that was absolutely really far this time as well uh so these are some of the demands that the community is making that we got to be in integrated everywhere we do not want tokenism uh and U we are the ones who are the stakeholders we are not a separate entity U so that so that is uh something and it becomes controversial every year uh and um the union is not finding Solutions the other thing was but it also provided a space uh to the activists to protest against some of the very high prices there was a huge protest during the uh uh opening session inaugural session uh where the activists went on the stage and the major demand this year with regard to pricing was bringing down the price of the diagnostics for the drug resistant TB so uh CIT which has been it's a diagnostic company which was also one of the funders by the way and they had a session where also there was a protest uh during the the union conference uh but they uh so they uh diagnostic the expert test as it is called it's very costly and of course they have the Monopoly over it uh and it C it has been is has been taken over by Den her this other corporation uh but uh so they uh uh the price was $1 uh dollar per test uh till uh a few months ago they uh but the experts they have uh some researchers have calculated it should not be more than $5 per test so there has been in demand uh to reduce the price to half so it's time for five uh that slogan has been there for many many years the see if it brought the prices down for a little bit for uh multi-drug resistant TB but for extreme drug resistant TB which is a much worse form of TB they have still not brought the price down so that was the demand that it has to come down to five because that corresponds to the production cost and U the it also involves reasonable profit for the company and there were lot of protest and let's hope something happens because uh there was one good news at least this year earlier uh this time when um Johnson and Johnson the company makes bacin and uh they are not enforcing their secondary patents uh uh at in countries in the world and that has happened because there has been pressure constantly on Johnson and Johnson on their pricing of the medicine and Monopoly over the medicine so we hope that would happen in the space of Diagnostics also um so hopefully hopefully these protests that have happened will yield some results in near future right Jo thank you so much for the analysis an issue we'll keep definitely coming back to because of its impact like I said on millions of lives thank you so much and that's all we have in today's episode we'll be back tomorrow with another episode in the meanwhile visit our website peoples dispatch.com [Music]

English Usage: Grammar-2 Nouns & Pronouns
welcome to a deserted calm your partner in education in this lecture we'll discuss nouns and pronounce the first two parts of speech the start of discussion about those now there are the names of anything say it in person place thing animal object name of anything as known as a now while we were young we used to play a game Norah's name plays animal thing where and we had to name either of these things that started with a single common litter this game was based on the concept of nouns nouns can be named like that of a guy Bob ROM Shawn Ali or it could be the names of the countries like India Pakistan China United States of America or anything or it could be the names of mountains kanchenjungha Mount Everest Mount Andy or it could be the name of the general things like table chair pen pencil or even a mobile anything the name of anything is known as a noun now consider these sentences we say Ashoka was a great king Sita is a beautiful girl Kolkata is a metro city or police dispersed the crowd we see that Ashoka is a now because it's the name of something even Keng Keng is a noun because it is the name of the designation that Ashoka had he was the king so it's the name of that designation becomes a noun likewise Sita in the name of the girl and even girl as a noun because it's the name of the community or the thing or her belongingness towards a group of people which are known as girls likewise City is a noun as well as Kolkata is also a noun please all those people were involved in guarding and helping the people alone as policemen so police isn't round here it's the name of the set of those people who helped in regulating the rules thus it is a noun like with crowd is also unknown thus nouns are the names of any and everything now is there are five types of nouns namely proper love common now abstract now collective noun am material now we start with proper knows the name of a very particular thing or place is no other property for example Rob Shan Sita Gita these are proper nouns likewise if I say London London even London is a proper noun or I say D Great Britain even this is a proper noun so the names of very particular things are known as proper nouns the names of general things or generic name of a common set of things are known as common nouns for example boy so there are many in this world boy is a noun or a name of any person who has those attributes or qualities so this thing is known as a boy so boy becomes a common now the other such examples would be City man girl or even table and chair these are common nouns abstract means anything that can only be filled it cannot be touched it cannot be seen so such things are abstract things and the names given to such things are known as abstract nouns for example goodness or bravery the stories of the bravery of the military men are often told to us now hair bravery it can only be felt or imagined in it it cannot be seen it cannot be touched it has no form thus bravery becomes an f-sharp now the names of things that are together now there is a collection of things we call this collection of something so that that name is known as a collective noun for example crowd mob team or a bunch now I say a bunch of flowers so there bunch becomes a collective noun the names of the things that are used for the construction construction of further things are known as material names the names of the materials are known as material nouns for example iron wood plastic or even gold silver these are material nouns now we can also differentiate the nouns based on countable and uncountable nouns countable nouns that you can head count of for example boys if I say there are 50 boils in the class so boys is a countable now why because it is like you can count them one two three four so you could head count them so this becomes countable uncountable the things that can only be measured you cannot eat or you can just estimate how much it would be for example if there's some milk in this char so you cannot count it's like 50 milk or sixty milk now you can say it's fifty liter of milk but you cannot set fifty milk or sixty milk her liter is the defining unit I'm even unit it is an abstract quantity that is used to represent something so here it needs a unit these things are known as uncountable nouns which need or which which can be just measured or need a unit for their counting so these things are known as uncountable now for example milk will sugar or even honesty honesty is an abstract now but it is uncountable you cannot count on honesty right click it's eighty honesty or ninety honesty now one thing which we must all understand is that countable nouns do have a pool for example I say fifty boys but one boy so I just said 50 boys and one boy so it as and when it becomes fifty that is more than one it takes an additional s whereas uncountable nouns do not have a pure form it is fifty litter of milk and if I increase it it becomes hundred liter of milk one even if I decrease it it becomes one litter of milk it does not change two milks anywhere now certain things that we've already discussed in this session of articles will repeat them here that articles are never used before the proper nouns or even before the abstract nouns or material now so for example in this sentence I said Oprea is a pretty good it becomes incorrect because priya is a proper know likewise d honesty is the best policy it is incorrect why because these never used in front of the abstract now so here it is an abstract now it was a proper noun and the chair is made of word what is the name of materials who will not put their hair since it is used before the material another thing that we must always remember is that whenever we're using a proper noun in a sentence it will always start with a capital letter it will never stop it'll smoke for example I say I live in Ludhiana so not say right in Hana with a small letter and write it as a capital it like whether it's London it's not London even in the running hand it will be London yes we have done certain exceptions to the given rules for example if somebody is named as being used as an adjective we can use the D in front of the name for example he is the luqman of his age or we say he is d Amitabh Bachchan of our class he is the Amitabh Bachchan of our class now here I am comparing this guy to Amitabh Bachchan based on some acting skills or personality thus I am using a macabre chin as an adjective not right though here like with the names that are unique or of heavenly bodies take for example the Sun the earth and the Himalayas since these are the unique as well as heavenly body names so we write do in front of them luckly so material noun is being used other adjectives we write during front of it for example I said the plastic bag now hair plastic is not a noun it is an objective it tells you the quality of the back that what sort of bag it is it is a plastic bag to better understand it if I write the plastic bag and parallely I write those drawn back now you get to understand what do I mean when I look at this second sentence as he strong is telling you the quality of the web what sort of man it is it is a strong back so it isn't in check tough family have written this sentence where I see its deep lasting value what are the quality of the bag it is made of plastic so it is not a noun it is an objective and we can use the in front of adjectives so it becomes correct we can classify the nouns as masculine or feminine based on their gender as the names suggest masculine in the gender that associates two men whereas feminine is the gender that associates two women there are things that do not have any gender for example a table or a chair what gender do they have they cannot be classified on the basis of masculine or gender or feminine gender we generally say these things have neuter gender that is non neutral in the terms of gender now certainly there may be some cases where women need to put a noun like we meet we may be there as a need of classifying the gender of some of the other noun but we do not know what is the gender for example there's a sentence like a doctor must be aware of - patients and I need to fill either his or her or it's in the sentence now what would be the correct option - wizard I can fill his but what is it's a women doctor if I write his hair and I say a doctor must be aware of his patients then that means if it's a woman doctor if it's a lady doctor she might not be aware and that is okay but that is not the case like if I write her hair the thing goes in for a man now if it's a guy doctor he need not to be very about the patient's health only if it's a woman doctor she needs to be worried about the patient's health again that would be incorrect I cannot write it fair because it is always used with use with those things that are neutral or a model or the things that do not have like a doctor obviously lives then what do I write here well in such cases we generally say that the gender of such a noun that is here in this case that would be a doctor will take it to be the masculine now so I write his now obviously that does not mean he if there is a women doctor she need not to be aware of her patients she also needs to be aware of the her patient's but in the general sentences will simply write his to solve the purpose likewise there are certain designations that are only filled by women or there are certain professions that are filled by women only that are followed by women only for example an air hostess or a bed now a guy can never be a maid or he can never be an air hostess so for such cases we'll write her with these sentences now for example I say a maid must do - job nicely now obviously it's a maid and maids are only women - I write her hair and not his so in case if we need to fill in the blank with the gender we'll always associate masculine gender with the genders that we are unaware of but if the thing is a feminine thing that is it is done only by women we'll put a feminine gender there likewise we can if we have personifying certain things the things that are associated to strength and violence are said to be men so for example we say son is a god whereas the thing that are related to beauty and gentleness we relate them to women we say moon is a goddess we said the collective nouns are the nouns that refer to certain things together thus we can say that when it comes to a number of similar things we may use different or similar Norman creature that has a similar or different now for example if it's only one person we say it is a boy but if there are many person we say it is these are boys thus we write an additional s in front of des now like whether it's a tree we write and read each the less it becomes trees certainly there may be cases with very our person our purpose cannot be solved by adding an additional s for example in the case of a man we cannot write man's as the plural of man that would be incorrect we write men we change the spelling and write men likewise for a woman becomes a woman likewise we have to check certain Spelling's for example if it as a mango so the correct plural will not be mangoes that goes incorrect we write ma ng o e s so this e s means that there are many mangoes if it's a cherry the plural would be share reason status and remove this Y and write AI e s here certain times we cannot change the spelling based on adding an additional S or ES or IES or changing a to e for example in the case of fish if I write the of fishes fishes that goes and correct why because fishes refers to the variety of fish for example in a in an aquarium if there are eight different types of fishes I say there are fishes but if it's only one fish there but multiple number of that similar search for example an aquarium has 13 Nemo fishes what do I say I cannot say there are 13 Nemo fishes I will say it is a shoal of fish likewise it's a herd of sheep or you may say it's a school of shark there are certain things that are singular as well as plural there is no need to change the spelling of that thing for example hair even if it's a single hair I say it's hair or up the most you can call it as a strand of hair but we generally say to be hair hair is plural a uses as well as singular the certain things are plurals but they are treated as singular for example if I say this school is closed on Monday does that mean that the only building would be closed and the internal operations would go on or if I say class is absent does that mean only a single person is absent obviously not if I say class is absent means that all the students are studying in the class are absent this means that there are certain things which are plurals but they are treated as singular like school class nation army nearly poultry likewise if I say my pants are torn does that mean all my pants are torn like if I have 30 pairs of pants all of them are top obviously No it's just the one that I'm talking about what I say pass me those pair of scissors does that mean there are 30 pairs lying there and you need to pass them all of them no there's only one and that you need to pass to me this means that there are certain singulars so it's a certain signals that are treated as plural for example pants trousers spectacles scissors these are the singulars that are treated as plurals likewise we said there are plurals are treated as signals like nation army poultry likewise there are singles there are seeds in schools for example pants trousers or spectacles in the names of that are complex for example brother-in-law or if I say sister-in-law if I have to write plural of such a name I cannot write brother-in-law's because if I write brother in law's so the rule Laurel here would be law that is there's only one person and there are multiple number of laws according to which he is your brother-in-law's that goes and correct so the right one is brothers-in-law so I will say one of my brothers in law or commanders-in-chief now we discuss this subject and object case offer now for example consider this sentence like John threw a stone now we have two noun fair John and stone now the person who does the work is the subject that is he's doing the work an object will be noun or the person or the think that is affected by the work this means that the effect of the worm comes upon the object where are the subject dusty work does in this sentence John tree or stone we have to see now these are John and stone John Truett that is he is doing the work so John becomes the subject whereas he through stone that is the stone is effected by throwing it so it is the object in the other terms we may call it as normative or accusative normative is the subject and accusative is the object so if there is any sentence you need to find out which is the subject and which is the object the best way is ask the question who to find the subject so the answer to the question who would be given by subject and answer to the question any other question like where how with whom etc is given by object no for example consider the sentence I say son now eats now who eats son Aerys thus and becomes the subject I rewrite the sentences Sarnia eats and apple we have two nouns here now apple and Santino ask the question who who eats Sunnah since the answer asana it becomes the subject right and what does feed sheets an apple so it becomes the object right if is intense as Sonia eats Sonia and Bob eat now who eat we get two answers Sonia and Bob both of them eat so both of them are subjects and since there's nothing mentioned there's no mention about what do they eat a we're due date and become not done it follows that there is no check to consider the sentence like son huh ate an apple in the room we have three nouns here Sanna apple and room now who ate the apple son I did so this means son as the subject what did cheat sheet an apple and since it's answered by what it becomes the object likewise where did she did she did she ate it in a room so again it is answered by anything else apart from who becomes the object so this indents has one subject and to object and here we said that there were two subjects thus any sentence may have n number of subjects like when it may have n number of objects now consider the sentence like Sonya come along with pop comma eat we have two nouns that Sonya and Bob now who ate the answer is not Sunna along with Bob the answer is only Sonya thus the subject is only Sonya with whom did she eat she ate at word with Bob thus Bob is being answered by the question whom and not who thus he becomes the object and not D subject another tank not considers intense like Sonia eats and ascendant like Sonia eat apple and lastly ascendance eat apples not clearly we can see the dissonance the third sentence is incorrect why because it is incomplete whereas these two sentences are correct here we have a verb that is eating son of the subject here we have son as subject eat a verb and apples as object thus we get to know that any sentence is only complete if it has a subject plus a word an object is optional this intense may or may not have an object but it ought to have a subject and a verb lastly we have possessive case of a noun now if I say this is my pen or the penis mine now I'm showing the ownership of the pen by the use of my or mine like well if I say this is Rob's pen or the pen belongs to ROM if I write the sentence of the pen belongs to ROM obviously that would not show the ownership as much as the this is Bob spenders now I have written this in tens are this is Bob's ten hair bob is a noun which is showing the ownership of the pen by the use of this apostrophe s so thus this is the case of possesses or genitive now where and is showing the belongingness of something belonging us nests of a known to some other now that this pen belongs to somebody which is Bob this apostrophe is deposit possessive case of Bob now we continue our discussion about the pronouns now the words that are used instead of nouns are known as pronounced for example he/she a day them us we you I mean etc all of them are pronounced it looks really clumsy while you're writing or speaking about someone X Sanne is a good girls understudies an ABC school Sonia wants to become a doctor know every time rather than speaking Sonia Sonia Sonia just mention a name once that asana is a good girl and then I start speaking she instead of Sonia because then obviously she what point two sons also pronounce basically I used to substitute the use of nodes the pronounce may be classified as personal pronouns and based on this classification I can say that pronoun may be a first person to know it might be a second person pronoun or it might be a third person Brown for example a first person well known as I or V whereas a second boss belong with you and the third person known as he/she a day etc how do we doesn't change midway while in the communication the speaker is the first person so all those pronouns that this thicker will use who are the first person to know for example I we mean myself mine the person who is talking to that is the listener is the second-person so all those pronouns that I use for this lesson for example you you your these all are the second person problems and suppose indeed the communication they are referring to someone else now this someone else is the third person to the communication so all those pronouns that I used for this third person or third person and also example he she it they etc now we said that a noun is divided in three different tiles based on the gender as masculine feminine and neuter so we use he with all the masculine nouns apart from he may use his or him likewise we use G with the Seminole nouns apart some she we may use her or generally as her or herself and it is used for non living things that is the neuter gender it is also used with animals it is you who places such as it is a big place your it as a small place lastly it is used with the young children or the adults oh the children below the age of five are referred using it now this is a very important wait the reason is that it is very difficult to decide the gender of a such a young child based on the visual sight now I cannot say that a baby in the hand of the mother whether it is a guy or a girl so I use it with that baby so if a sentence is like while playing the child broke his leg so this sentence is incorrect why because we knew it with the child and we ride in slack Catholic the nouns pronouns also have cases the subject and the object case that are present in the case of pronounce as well for example consider a sentence like Bob what a gift for son and another sentence like son bought a gift for Bob now in these two sentences like if I consider the first sentence here Bob is the subject and the small s denotes subject and Santa is the object small or denotes the object in the second sentence sonya becomes the subject and bob becomes the object i believe like let's suppose that bob is a man and sonia is a woman now if I want to replace Bob with any pronoun what should I write I write he for ball and if I want to replace Sonia with any Poonam what should I write I write her for son likewise if I want to write any pronoun for son and the second sentence I will have to write XI and here I'll write to you I'll have to write him now I see that the same person when he comes in this subject case he takes a different renowned whereas he takes a very different for now in the object case and same happens with son now if I remove any of these and write my own name again I'll have to say I bought a gift for Sonia and Sonia bought a gift for me so this happens to me as well this means that all the pronouns that come in these subject case are different and all the pronouns that come in the object case are different the table hair defines the same all the pronouns that come in these subject cases are different whereas all the pronouns that come in the object cases are different so if I need to say I'm talking about myself I'll say I when I copy the subject whereas me when I come in the object likewise he she we they it and you are the subject cases whereas the object cases are me him/her ask them it remains it and the object case a velocity U also remains you in the object case these two are exceptions now I go back to I I go back to the previous type of slide let's consider today's like I have Sam's book now if I want to replace Sam with Sam pronoun believing that Sam is a guy what should I write I'll have to write his now if I check through the table I find that his is neither a subject case nor an object case he'll shows the possession of the book that is the possessive case of the pronoun thus it becomes a possessive pronoun in the general senses is said to be a effective program the synthetic pronoun is the possessive case of any pronoun or now so likewise I have I me and in the process of K that becomes mine he/him/his she her hers or her here also we may have my our or ours theirs its these are the processes not and we were discussing you so the possessive case of you becomes your or yours again I go back to the previous slide and I rewrite my sentence as Bob bought a gift for now this time he bought a gift for himself that as he bought a gift for boy if I die if I write a pronounce for Bob hair it would be he but hair it would neither be he nor him nor his it would be him selves so I see that in this case where the subject and the object have the same person that is the verb turns back to this subject I'll have to write a fourth form of a default case of pronoun which is known as the reflexive pronoun thus reflexive known as nothing but a case where the subject and the object are the same person or a technical definition would say reflexive pronoun as the pronoun where the verb turns back to the subject now it is true for anybody puts under in place of Bob I'd say she bought a gift for herself if I put my name there I'll say I bought a gift for myself thus in the case of reflexive pronouns I'll have to write self in front of ourselves in front of the possessive case it becomes my self himself/herself ourselves there sells itself in case of you it becomes yourself now you can fill in this sentence with various forms of cases you and I went to the market to buy clothes for either myself or me or himself or anything two things that we must always keep in her first if a symptoms starts with lead the object case has to be filled in the case of subject for example let - do the work now if I am going to do the work I'll write me hair and not eye reason being since the sentence starts would let the subject will turn to the object from now it will take the object for now same as the case of him/her it anything secondly FNS intends there are all these he pronounced that in the first person the second person and the third person coming together the chronological sequence could be second person then these third person and lastly the first person that will be you he and I will do something or will go to the market you just discussed the difference between the reflexive and M cetera so reflexive pronoun is used when the action done by the subject turns back on the subject or in simple language where the reflexive reflexive pronoun is the pronoun where subject becomes equal to the object an emphatic renounce shows the ownership over something heaven we can differentiate between the case of who and who you remember when we were discussing the subject in the object case I said the question who answers the subject whereas any other question including whom gives the object now the reason is that who itself is the subject question whereas whom is the Insecta quest for example whom does depend belong to now the answer is it belongs to him and since him is the object case whom also is the object the best way to memorize this is that whatever the answer if the answer is a subject so the question would also be a subject but if answer is an object the question is also an object it's a right whosoever it concerns so this would be incorrect why because it concerns him so the correct sentence would be whomsoever it concerns we have demonstrated pronounced these are for a number namely this that these those they these is the plural form of this whereas that those is the plural form of that now for example you standing here and there are certain things lying here answer the number of things lying there so it's one here and one here you this is something that is near and that is something that is sorry if there are n number of things here and number of saying there just becomes DS and it becomes though so there are the things that are far are that or do where other things that are near are this or deeds lastly we have indefinite or distributive pronouns we start discussion with indefinite pronouns these are the pronouns that point to something in general if I say one must be aware of one's deed there one asking for any person so indefinite brown pronouns are used for general purposes distributive who knows where in there is a collection of people it's a collecting demand you're referring to one at a time for example each student know there are multiple students and you taking one each student is a defaulter this means you pick any among these and one of them any one among these and he would be or she would be a defaulter so does each either neither these are the distributed pronounced distributive around would show one at a time case this gets us to the end of the discussion of nouns infernos i hope you have enjoyed this thank you so much and have a nice day

listen for some reason a month of january hates me hates me but i am here to say that january is an awesome month to be a wrestling fan not only do we have the rumble not only do we have the mayhemis

nobody ever heard of unless you're wrestle douche i i also have never heard of them the guy that i don't know tried to get a hold of steel horse before the match to get the basics of their match and well it didn't go well still horse side note i need a new name for my [ __ ] and this guy started doing stuff and the guy after this guy started doing stuff and the guy after steel horse did something started throwing stiff shots one after another the match ends up ends and well michonne grew a vagina and wound up calling the cops because the guy went off the script no seriously the guy went to jail for going off script as this is an indie show of course nobody had a damn camera so the creative people the youtubes created this parody of the actual event that happened don't ask me why clockwork orgs we're facing mario luigi and luigi and there's a link until next time steel horse vagina fits better riz who yawned oh that was me oh see that's why rizz won't be host of the year he made he made lunchbox yawn also also because he's not nominated for host of the year but yeah oh he won't win co-hosts of the year one of several reasons that he won't be i love you rizz i went to the gym today i'm sleepy i thought you were about to say i went to the gym because of you yes i'm trying to tone for the room fantastic aj do you have that uh up now aj oh he's drinking water i muted my mind because i'm eating some pretzels i don't want to crunch in everyone's ear as an audio listener no eating on the show that's right that's yeah i'm sorry would you have a chance to bring up that email sir i can do it i do i did i did go ahead mayhemer's assemble this is your boy alex k with some thoughts on this second show i can cross off of my list saturday morning slammiversary i did did tna start a pay-per-view on saturday mornings now no i didn't think so in short this show dot dot dot existed it wasn't great but it wasn't terrible it was there my main issue with the show is they've apparently eliminated the things that made the show unique like when the miz told kids his five tips on how to be awesome the show i watched this past saturday was two matches and the woman who wrestled in the first match interviewing what they could have and quite frankly should have had someone else doing the interview for the simple fact that i could not suspend my disbelief that natalya had just wrestled a grueling match with always she wrestled alicia fox never mind bring back the slam segments wwe i don't care if we only get one match out of the show if i wanted to watch matches with no interesting segments whatsoever i'd watch this stuff on youtube alex cars there you go name right all right up next up next we got the el gran azul email for our spanish demographic hola amigos es me es me esl grand azul la wwe i wrestlemania learning spanish for the first time oh yeah uh me favorito canado del royale rambo es empate andre rey mysterio so el beto del rio pelo eso ya lo is and the google translated version hello friends it's me it's me it's el granazul olay the wwe has been less than great as of late but i am confident they will pick up the pace now that we are on the road to wrestlemania camino to wrestlemania wrestlemania from the camino to wrestlemania my favorite royal rumble winner is a tie between rey mysterioso and alberto but you already knew that who was your favorite royal rumble winner until next time this is an el gran azul reminding you that it takes two to tango and zero to fandango away yeah what happened to him oh he didn't say his name was fandango yeah you can start yeah exactly all right what's up next wait a minute wait a minute wait a minute wrestle fan do you know how to roll your r's no no you fail as a texan the [ __ ] do you get to read those listen okay listen proximity it's purely proximity we're going to teach you can you make the d sound what is it what sound does a d make d da da da da da da da do what you're done i'll do it a bunch in a row i don't know what riccardo those things okay aj is like radiating through my headphones right now put the headphones on the [ __ ] wait what wait a second i think you have something to read right i do i do are you ready yeah hey hey hey hey it is mayhem crew it's me it's me it's the quote fan of the year at big pip pc probably will only get one vote so congrats on seven years and indeed seven more years seven more years missy and dog remedy were entertaining it would have been cooler though if chachi would interact it more is wrong that i think church is more entertaining than possibly others mentioned previously i think not moving on wow so dna is crazy with hogan's prop dude it makes you sick when stinging huggins over the low dude brother i remember when there was no hook to dna good times uh shield destroyed the rock it was good stuff if the shield interferes with punk matched rumble and punk is stripped of the title unfortunately it seems like rock is going to get the title either a trouble or elimination i hope not but it is what it is cesaro versus orton great match but orton won face orton is not good and has ruined and notion for me to want to be heal or care stale and boring like the rock box punk promos were good per usual sheamus vs barrett was good match as well beat the clock thing is stupid so you get to pick either spot one or spot two in rumble if the person won the peak the clock challenge well he'll lame dumb and pointless congrats golf dolph beat someone anyway soon so and then he re-runs down the entire card for the rumble questions this week who would you like to see a surprise entrant into rumble this year what other match would you like to see since the diva match or something else i say number one contender for either ic title or is title four or four or four tag titles maybe tyson kid and gabriel versus prime time players now i think about uh why is ryback and shield not in rumble will have a match anyways till next week vote for me fan of the year and take care don't spike your hair you know it's me it's me it's big ppc ps great job per usual mayhem crew sent from my iphone oh i forgot to stop it there we go i would just like to uh before we go into the questions i would just like to thank big ppc for joining my faction uh the greatest of all time uh it's it's a it's consisting of all the mayhem winners because you weren't paying attention just throwing it out there all right what were those questions again there alby who would you like to see as a surprise entrant in the rumble this year aj is surprised uh dilo brown but he's working for tna still i think so was shot so is kevin nash the last time we heard him and all of a sudden he shows up as [ __ ] diesel and everyone does that little stare down [ __ ] with big show that we all read into and then nothing happened and everybody was like [ __ ] diesel everybody was all excited so d lebron can come back with the [ __ ] chest protector and no one would know the difference lunchbox uh this is just people we want to see not people that actually have a chance right yes shane mcmahon oh man i would kill for that that's not who i picked but i would kill for that russell fan uh and does that also count people that haven't necessarily debuted yet sure fandango sorry i'm voting for a movie ticket company to be in the wrestlemania royal rumble match or whatever uh you know what max moon what's up uh my mom said that ah is it maximum dead oh yeah uh i'm i'm going with uh yes he is dead bro ready for this that's what i think you just can't walk pete rose peter i'm going with pete rose and royal rumble can't put it on honestly honestly i wouldn't be surprised with that especially with the stuff they're doing with kane and daniel bryan right now right especially with he's got especially because he's got a tv show he's got a reality show on some channel right now where he's dating a 20 something year old uh asian playable model amazing uh i found out about this today since i apparently picked somebody that may or may not have died via jetpack accident uh let me let me well let's see i don't know i mean i'm not like a flowrider fan but i think it'd be cool for the celebrity involvement and it looks like he could go you know i mean i'll do something cheap with it we all said bastian booger don't know alexander cars said uh steve the turtle weiner or freight train uh mad mike said max moon and someone above them said colt cabana have a great call yeah next question is what other match would you like to see on the rumble yeah uh i'm gonna start this off with a shocker now that caitlyn's the the divas champion i wouldn't want to see a divas match against uh whoever my penis so desires actually i would like to see her wrestle aj there you go there you go me too that would be a good match what's going on oh gosh oh gosh oh i think aj needs new pants oh gosh wait wait wait wait wait you're excited about wrestling kaitlyn weren't you the one talking about how like she had work done to her face no lunchbox and i was caitlyn is the most authentic looking women's wrestler in the wwe thank you i agree this is true however we we saw that listen it was pointed out by lunchbox and i looked and it looked like according to what we saw on television and then pictures we looked up on the internet that were tastefully done that she may or may not have had some work on that's it's fine wheels is in here we also looked at photos of jamie keys and how she apparently has zero ass that's absolutely true ass no ass no no it was really concave ass with that girl seriously this is the curve of her butt it is this is no control it's unbelievable just straight down what are you holding up for the audio listeners uh this is a remote control oh this is also a giant phone you know yeah get me 20 shares i don't know i call the phone anymore wow i don't know how to hold a phone anymore you know i'm on speaker phone all day just shouting 20 shares 100 shares i told you to buy not sell with that i believe that is all our fan mails for the moment right well there's what oh yeah you finished off uh you guys didn't answer the question the only chats you did only i did oh and then oh that's like [ __ ] this we're moving on yeah what other match would you like to see oh whatever match i'm sorry i i don't know i i'm there for the rumble and they put the rock on there i mean that's what else is there we got a last man standing rematch i'll tell you what [ __ ] i'd like to see antonio cesaro versus the miz and lucky me it will happen yeah they just added it and the pre-show nice oh oh can we talk about what else they added on the pre-show what zac ryder is going to do a live performance of his hit hoskey uh husky music that's it not watching the rumble i thought i'm really glad that i appreciate it i don't care i am super glad that i have to be at a work function that night at that time not not the whole thing i'm hopeful that i can still see the rumble on the rock well here's the question okay now let's throw this out there does punk rock close the show or is it to the rumble let's let's follow that up with i it's we can say punk rock yeah i i had that i thought of that yesterday wow because now we should have a punk concert where it's just uh cm punk coming out and screaming at everyone i would watch that yeah and i would watch it it'll end with the rumble because they always do the stare at the uh stare at they destroyed the ring with like undertaker angle or something like that and uh so they obviously put that on so oh i remember that the pay-per-view ended with kurt angle and mark henry yeah oh yeah yeah yeah they obliterated the ring um yeah so there's that although they've destroyed the ring before and continued yeah they did that was kind of interesting um well then okay so now okay what's who has the terrible terrible job of having to be the filler match between the two did they do a filler that time did they match they had a tag team match that time no no i'm saying they'll have a tag key match if it's filling i'm saying like punk versus rock and then there has to there's gonna be something and then there's gonna be the rumble i don't think that's necessary because i i feel like there was title match royal rumble like the time we went you know i don't think they do filler before the rumble sometimes because it builds too no matter what they put in front of the rumble the next thing up is the rumble well you're gonna have the crowd going nuts for punk rock for punk versus rock no keep saying punk rock please for punk rock you're gonna have you're gonna have the you're gonna have a super hot crowd for rock and punk punk rock and then you're going to have to have something in the middle you got to have some cool period like go piss because you're going to watch 30 dudes come out here yeah that's true that's true i'm pulling up the last three rumbles to see if they've done anything anything like that um let's see i'm looking at what year is this 2012. um and according to this order uh it was cm punk defeated dolph ziggler straight into the royal rumble now grant that's not punk rock obviously um and we go to 2011 and there's a divas match for the fatal four-way for the divas belt a five-minute ten-second match where eve beat natalya layla and michelle after a uh 20 minute miz and uh randy orton uh for the wwe championship so there was a filler there uh and in 2010 i don't know because i clicked the wrong button you had you had uh sheamus beating orton by just by dq for the wwe belt then you have a mickey james beating michelle mccool and layla for the divas belt in 20 seconds apparently yeah you have taker beating mysterio for the world heavyweight title and then the rumble where edge came back so it could go either way it really could go either way and this is the one i think we went to at madison square garden they had to do eddie edge defeated jeff hardy though no dq for the wwe championship and then the royal rumble yeah then uh the year before that uh edge beating yeah edge beating jeff hardy and then uh the 2000 and then the rumble so they could go on a dark match on that sadly jimmy wang yang to beating paul virgil remember when they were employed wow a pirate versus a cowboy agent so i ain't more answers to that question here before we move on i don't know it's a i don't know where to go with that one yeah i have one for the uh the first one uh cayenne thai oh so they can throw taco over again and have him land on his face there you go what you don't remember that i mentioned okay lantern on his face it was like two thousand taco [ __ ] like lands on right on his face and they replay it like five times during the match wrestling's real guys wrestling's real because jerry lawler thought it was funny watch his asian guy laying on his face his eyes are slamming because he's been slammed into the floor [ __ ] you jerry on that note i think that's all the fan interactions we got right here um let's go to we got uh we've been trying to have some interviews here of course you know chachi and i we go to almost twice a month now uh to live pro wrestling which is live yeah sure let's do that opportunity to sit down with the rwa champion uh he he's made an appearance here on the show when he uh interrupted an interview that wheels did uh previously uh with g raver so this is our proper sit down interview uh with him after the rwa uprising five the fourth anniversary show that happened over this past weekend so uh let me toss this and uh we'll be right back with the andy minute with a wrestle fan hey guys it's sorg here mayhem on location after uh the crazy fourth anniversary show of the rwa the reinkett wrestling alliance so we uh of course filming here with storytron media uh a crazy main event with the man with me right here notorious shane taylor of course the rwa heavyweight champion still still still uh over uh strider who strider who's been a long time favorite here of course with rwa and everything uh so uh of course i have comments about uh how one being on the top of the card here you were here last year not for a belt or anything for the anniversary show one year ago when we started shooting with you guys uh but you're on top again one year ago to the day it was uh me and ryan mitchell you know and i just gotten in to the company want to make a name for myself and uh my whole life i've always gone after the biggest and the best and uh i wasn't gonna climb any ladders i wasn't gonna wait in line and do all this other stuff that people like to do in the wrestling business i wanted my shot so i found the best guy here and i went after him you know and uh a year ago today we had one of the best matches that rwa has ever seen you know and uh i i came up short that night but uh as you can see things always work out for the best i guess that's not what i'm holding this uh you're a guy that we've been watching for a while we've seen uh iwc uh pwg other places in cleveland and uh western pa um i'm sure anywhere in between um and you've always been kind of a supporting role it seemed or an attack team or some kind of group or something and rwa like we've seen this before like this is where we first uh uh you know personally we saw like guys like jason gorey kind of shine you know on his own here uh that seems to be what's going on here with you uh for rwa especially over this past year well you know when you get into this business you want to just kind of have whatever role that you're given you want to be appreciative of everything you know so with the guys that trained me j-rock ray-ro what's up uh you know that's what i did you know i'd be their bodyguard i i do whatever they needed me to do you know and uh as we went went around the country went around the world my skills kept growing but not a lot of promoters wanted to show me in that light i started as a bodyguard they wanted to keep me as a bodyguard they always wanted to keep me in the background shane taylor is nobody's background i'm a star i deserve to be treated like a star and i deserve the opportunities that stars are given and in rwa they've let me do that since day one they say you want to be the man go prove it it's enough said it's enough said now this isn't the first time you've been on the show here with wrestling mayhem we kind of uh interrupted uh a little bit of an interview we were doing with g-raver first when we were first trying to this wheels was picking up wheels yeah friend of the show wheels uh is he still in the chair i don't think the prognosis is good no he's still in the chair yeah pretty sure yeah yeah so still still doing sound so let me lose some i guess you know i guess so i guess so so um um hey how long have you been uh in the business here you eventually you were training with uh ray ro jrock again friends of the show they broke me in 2006. uh this is going on my sixth year of wrestling now you know and i'm getting better and better you know it takes a while to start honing your craft start honing your style things that you like to do and uh i've kind of got mine down to a science you know i just it's quite simple really it's kind of a mike tyson effect you hit people really hard till they drop you know and it's been working for me uh if you guys if there's guys out there just starting out it's a good one to have just hit people really hard till they drop it works we see especially today there seems to be a lot of it seems like the bulk of people uh training coming into wrestling are kind of the smaller i want to say scrawny but like smaller guys they end up being cruiserweights you're definitely a representative of the the large man you know in pro wrestling uh you have any advice for anybody coming in that is kind of of your stature the bigger guys that aren't going to be doing moonsaults and stuff although mr rbi kind of surprises me sometimes i mean see this is the thing with that i can do everything those small guys do everything you can do a moonsault yeah yeah i can they don't pay me enough to do them here no no no of course i can do them i'm kind of afraid of the structure of the building at that point here you're seeing the people running around in the crowds smart guy you trying to get smart now i'm just saying i'm just saying i'm just saying i feel the vibrations in the back when they're pounding the floor and i think there's anything good vibrations come on man like i said if you just shut up i can do everything those small guys can do you know in this business it's all predicated on your look it's all predicated on you know being in the gym you know 28 days you know 28 days a month and you know 30 hours a day and like you got to be super jacked all the time like that's great man if you want to sit here and you know have other people stare at you that's fine but i'm a wrestler that's what i do i wrestle and i entertain me being super jacked me you know politicking and all that that that doesn't affect how i perform in the ring my performance in the ring is what people talk about my performance in the ring is what gets me noticed so my advice to bigger guys that want to get into this business you know if if your goals are to get to a certain place and you feel like you need to take whatever path take that path then fine but for people that don't want to compromise their integrity don't want to you know just fit a certain mold you can be the best and not have to be a cookie cutter mold you can be the best and still be you and that's all that's all there is man of course uh the only show we're kind of all over the place uh some people probably not check you out yet here in the western pa ohio area or wherever else you've traveled here uh what do you think is your best match that people should go seek out is the best example of what shane taylor can do out there every match is the best that shane taylor can do i mean but uh i mean the match match tonight that i had with strider was good the the match with mitchell like i said before you know even though i came up short i mean that's that's one of the best matches this company has ever had and the the feeling of a climb on that match that feeling in there you guys had security lined up it has been billing for months i know i had been away from rwa for a couple months came in and i was like wow and the crowd was insane oh yeah i mean mitchell for all is for all his faults and for what anybody wants to say about the guy you know the guy can go he pushed me to my lo he pushed me to the absolute break and you know he got me on that night but i think i proved something not only to myself to him to everybody that was here but to anybody that's watched that match and that's you know you you can be a big guy you can you know you you can be big and you can hang with the best and you can go out there and perform at a top level perform like a star you know and uh so that so that match there would be one of the ones that i'm very proud of one last major question here uh this has been a staple we've got it does look good it was a good nice nice lighting um so this is this question it's kind of a left field question it's kind of a personality question like throw out there we've got a whole range of answers to this uh so we want to know you notorious shane taylor if you were a vegetable what vegetable would you be who writes this i did actually oh they're the cameraman you should be fired um he's actually quit several times if i was a vegetable what vegetable would i be you know i've never been asked that question so not to think about that i don't know that's why it's a big question i guess it would be i don't know man i guess potato i don't know potato i think it says we might have had a potato before i think i think it's our first repeat potato uh we'll have to let you know who had who was the other potato i think it might have been logo and chulo i feel like well i beat him already so i definitely know i'd be the better the better you know yes you're the best spud i guess if you want to say that it's the dumbest question ever who writes this i think joe dabrowski got violently angry with us when we asked him that so yeah he did he did joe dombrowski's character i just that's all i'm gonna say about that he's character get stuck in a car for three hours with that guy no i'm not gonna be stuck anywhere with that guy oh there you go there you go we once heard him call for two hours of sudoku puzzle he's trying to call uh finish anyways thederrick.com check it out um anywhere when people check you out are you on twitter machine you're on facebook you're on anything like this the notorious shane taylor look me up you know uh i'll have all my matches and stuff up there just drop me a line or whatever i'm looking for biggest and the best you want a shot come get it i'm not hard to find there you go notorious shane taylor here on the mayhem show check him out and go back to the studio and catch what's next in the mayhem they prepared an interview and i hit him with the curve ball with the vegetable question yeah because it's funny yeah because i hate i hate interviews where i hear the same thing over and over and over again i really dislike that where you just oh you know what do you think your match coming up insert promo here yeah what if you could be if you were a vegetable and their brains just freeze and they lock up what the [ __ ] was that exactly and that like when he said i should be fired listen i have a job to do you have a job to do too you have to go out there you have to cut promos and beat ass that's what you do for me i have to help entertain the mayhem regionalization or whatever we want to call this we have to i have to help entertain that so i bring a question like if you could be a vegetable what vegetable would you be and why boom done now people are entertained because they want to hear that answer to that question there's like 10 to 12 people who want to hear the answers there's like a reaction that happens too that that's really interesting you know and that's that's that's the thing you know and and whether they're doing it like personally if they're it they're the you know the guys are going in character do we pull them out of the character for a second you know and really kind of throw them curveball you know he did that too yeah exactly i'm still like he wanted he wanted he said he wanted to hurt me or something like that i forget but he's great even getting that reaction is entertaining you know evoking that you know brings you funny period end of story i i'm open to more questions like that you know if you got something else that like would be a you know curveball question that we can ask on a regular basis uh and again we got uh we're scheduled slated to the talk with aiden vale uh here this weekend at iwc payback which we'll talk about a little bit here in the any minute uh so please tweet us at mayhem show let us know what should we ask these people uh you know aidenville's uh uh interesting he's uh i i know i'm already gonna ask him about his affinity for uh john cena and uh and and he's a drummer so we'll go somewhere with that you know and i don't know especially after a show like this after we've been running around doing the show uh they've been doing their matches you know and that's when uh you know you're you never know what you're gonna get out of these guys so with that wrestle fan tell me what's going on in uh untelevised wrestling this week on televised wrestling this week it is time my friends for the indie minute for this week and since sword brought it up i'm going to start things off with our good friends at iwc international wrestling cartel they got their big event coming up this weekend on the 26th uh this saturday iwc payback the first iwc event of 2013. uh silvertron media will be there filming for the dvds and such uh and the big match uh main event match that has been announced john mcchesney defending the iwc heavyweight title against roh star unbreakable michael elgin uh and that is going to be an awesome awesome encounter uh it's it's it's i'm cha-chi needs to uh next week give me a report on his thoughts on michael elgin and how possibly scared he'll be behind the uh the camera ringside um so that's going to be a good one a lot of a lot of great iwc stars will be there a lot of friends of the show uh with and it's going to be a lot of great action so you can check them out at iwc wrestling.com and go get your tickets for that event uh not to interrupt you um but i'm not scared of the wrestlers when i'm behind the camera i'm scared of the matches that the wrestlers are in when i'm behind the camera well i don't think i don't think you have to worry about mike elgin doing moonsaults outside the ring i'm not afraid uh i think it'll be a little more grounded so so that's probably what you're kind of aiming for right yes well i'll give you that okay but but uh it'll definitely be interesting to see so go by and check out the sword of trump maybe a crew that will be there also as we mentioned uh national pro wrestling day is coming up national pro wrestling days coming up so pro wrestling day is coming up and like uh since we mentioned iwc the point i do want to make is that the match for iwc was announced this past weekend and it's going to be for the iwc heavyweight title john mcchesney versus logan shulo two friends of the show going at it uh as the iwc representative match at national pro wrestling day so i would definitely encourage you to check them out like i said it's nationalprowrestlingday.com uh go hopefully attend that event in philadelphia pa but if you cannot attend it you can always order it on i pay per view from smart mark video so definitely go check it out see some people you've seen before see some people you haven't and uh celebrate a national day of professional wrestling and if you are there i got word it sounds like there will be a joint orgatron media iwc wrestling booth uh there i i imagine it will be i don't know if it will be the entire day or at least of course be for that evening show that's featuring the iwc guys uh so it looks like i will be in attendance so please say hi uh if you are a listener of the show or i owe you money someone sort of put a hit out on someone it is philadelphia yeah that's true um but yeah so definitely go check that out uh nationalprowlwrestingday.com for more information.com nationalprogressingname.com we're going to be so sad when this is over what are we going to say what are we going to repeat you know after this you remember national pro wrestling day national pro wrestling day oh boy um uh okay so the next thing i do want to mention uh is the events that i talked about last week on the mayhem show that happened this past weekend in the texas area the first was the company that i mentioned for the first time this past show was for branded outlaw wrestling in san antonio texas which was an absolutely amazing event a lot of great action a lot of great local stars and and former wwe stars including rob conway and funaki uh it was it was a really fun time uh a lot of great matches including uh two friends at the show going at it and probably definitely matching tonight probably something i think people need to check out and that was ray ro taking on ach and that was an intense contest if i ever seen one uh i would i i mentioned it before i think that match needs to happen just about everywhere like someone in the pittsburgh or ohio area needs to bring back rairo and needs to get that match going because it's going to be it it'll open some people's eyes i think uh their next event is i believe february 9th where they will have former ecw star tommy dreamer in attendance uh if you want more information you can go to branded outlaw wrestling dot com but as i mentioned last week on the show go ahead there's not much information here that's the thing there's not much information on there um i would definitely encourage you to go to their facebook page brandon wrestling they don't need to lock the facebook page well no no not there uh if you if you search for them on facebook yeah yeah i do that's the one thing i do think they need to improve their uh their presence on the internet apparently you sell tickets here uh wait well this is interesting because there's a place to buy tickets but they don't tell you the date of the show so i'm not going to share them that's a little yeah i in addition to you will not get booked can we can we get have a you will not have friends in attendance they draw a good crowd but i do think they need you know i do think they need a bit more internet presence and you know someone to hammer that in there yeah that's great there's just nothing functional yeah i just sorry i deal with web stuff so yeah it says sort i mean sorry for now i should like yeah i should like consult to like wrestling websites or something um yeah you know like here here you go you know if your uh figure you're probably doing it wrong come to me i'll tell you exactly 500 dollars screw that i'll give them squarespace as much as wordpress has been uh helping us lately with the downtime during the show here no no i think i'm the square p square space or bust from now on so but that's another conversation for another podcast wrestle fan uh and then uh the next night in austin texas was also another big event uh anarchy championship wrestling all good friends there had their guilty by association seven event uh a very great night a lot of new champions a lot of great matches and uh what ended the show the final match in acw for jerry lynn a very very emotional night uh it was an awesome match and i encourage anybody to check it out when the dvd does come out uh like i mentioned go to anarchychampionshipwrestling.com uh go check them out their next event is february i want to say it's february 21st i may be wrong on the date um but uh it's going to be back at the mohawks in austin featuring colt cabana will be coming in for that event also i believe the friday of that event colt cabana will be doing a comedy show at the new movement in austin texas uh which i'm hoping to attend that so uh i definitely uh that would definitely be interesting to see it will be great to see cole cabana and he'll also be out there for the anarchy championship wrestling event that's sunday of uh so if you want more information go to anarchy championshipwrestling.com also go to smart market video and smart mark video on demand because they have their two august shows uh up there on on that site that you can go check out uh and go support some of the great local texas guys the uh before i do get off that uh we we mentioned uh a lot of times on the show before that we we we love our fans here we want to take the initiative to make make us as interactive as possible so we we encourage uh our uh if you see us at shows you know any of us hit us hit us in the chest beat the [ __ ] out of us um wait hold on stop uh don't hit me at least all right except sashi because he's working okay that one shots he's on the job okay wrestle fan i thought the i thought the idea was that the fans would see you as shows and jerk you off with their mouths that was the idea yes thank you thank you chuck we have to work our way up to that okay you can't just you can't just let it all out there i mean come on start with a handshake wrestle fans apparently some kinky [ __ ] hit me and then we'll see where it goes from there oh lord but uh the point i'm trying to make uh our good friend uh who we've seen in the chat room every week texas anarchy obviously was at that event uh taking uh photos that you can find on texasanarchy.com uh and he decided to be the first taker in that initiative cue video hello wrestling manager fans it's the russell van here i've been a long night in the middle hawks in austin texas for american championship president spoke by association i'm standing here from the man you may know from the western hampshire you can japanese at texasnrt.com for all your texas and he said you want to check me so we love our fans so we'll see them i'm going to chop these he said that he was going to chop me for cha-chi ah it makes me happy a young new generation of mayhem yeah remember remember when we did the uh the the podcamp session where we just chopped the crap out of each other for a couple years there yep almost all of them uh i believe that uh the the whole reason that i'm i'm on the show is because chachi chopped me at uh what was that red star yeah something like that there's video of that somewhere on the internet if you want to see me getting chopped in the chest chashi got a good like i'm turning the side so you can see this like the full like chop coming in and the turn at the end to slap god i had a welt on my chest this [ __ ] hurt oh i got i tell you what if you just go to youtube and and type wrestling mayhem show chopped uh let's see there's spoon getting shot at paw camp there's a mad mike getting shot uh after an iwc show uh there's we did a chop class at somebody's party there's a wrestle fan getting chopped in cleveland another pod camp there's my back porch uh there's that there's part two of that session uh and then there's i think i think this is uh lb getting chopped after we wooed from across the street in the parking garage um yeah there's wow crappy then it gets into some mud wrestling which is also kind of interesting uh but uh first of all the first time the first time i ever met mike wojcik uh it was me violently hitting him in the chest the first 12 videos are us chopping people so so that is the legacy of the mayhem show uh and these are dating back uh wow this one says six years ago uh that's vim that's when vim was here um two years ago three years ago christmas cards so anyways is there more uh indie minute there sir uh the only thing that i do want to mention last time in a minute is pwg uh just released their dvd trailer and you can now buy their dvd for their uh ddt4 event their annual tag team tournament which featured the final match of el generico um in in his uh home company

the stuff going on uh this past weekend with rwa rwa live dot com want to find out what's coming up with them um now is the time where we like to look back i remember why we're in the wrestling the things we love sometimes the things we hate it's time for remember when this week on remember when of course it's that time lb was uh uh spread his excitement earlier in the episode uh about what's coming up this uh it's like it should be a wrestling national holiday it's the it's the you know what this is lb now i think about it this is the halloween elimination chambers the thanksgiving the not as fun but kind of the middle holiday and then wrestlemania is your your christmas right yeah i could see that yeah a little uh i'll swing it around okay i love it i love the hell out of thanksgiving and i don't want to see thanksgiving put to uh elimination chamber because i like the i love the royal rumble far more than i love uh the uh than elimination i love royal rumble more than elimination chamber and i love turkey more than i love candy that's a fact savory over sweet i'm with aj i'm i'm a thousand percent with aj but still it's the beginning of the season is what i'm saying it is i'll go i'll give you from a chronological standpoint chronologically yes it's the beginning of three months of the best of wrestling we're gonna get with a clear focus and a clear endpoint coming up and a fan fest and and we get to see our family of wrestling if you're if you're going down there uh it really is a wrestling family that likes to beat us as we were seeing on gold yes um so let's look back your favorite uh rumble match or moment from rumble moment from rumble sounds right sounds right alby this is your holiday uh initially uh uh wha wha what's your favorite rebel moment elsorg as you said it is my holiday my favorite time of the year my number one aces favorite pay-per-view um and uh so in preparation for this most glorious of wrestling holiday seasons i've been watching previous royal rumbles and this might not be my favorite moment i'm sure there's another one i like but man this is up there um i didn't actually write down what year it was i think it was 2007 royal rumble but it doesn't matter cm punk was uh deep into the straight edge society gimmick at the time and uh he came out early in the rumble and he eliminated people where he was the only one then he got a microphone and he sat down in the middle of the ring and he started preaching and then someone else would come out and he would eliminate them and sit down and continue to preach it was incredible and it was fantastic he had a big giant beard and long cm punk hair and it was just one of the many phases of uh cm punk's fantastic career thus far i think he did like a 10-minute promo mid-rumble i think that's what it ended up being it was like a solid like well then in the middle of all of that he got the straighted society to come out with him like towards the end of the promo the straighter society was in there with him i want to i want to throw that actually uh it was at that time or was it the time where he was leading the nexus nope that was uh that was a strange society okay because that happened with the nexus as well right he may have done it with nexus so much preaching when he was part of the nexus yeah yeah yo it was kind of like a spin-off ish straight ahead society deal i think so everyone drank and stuff yeah yeah yeah so uh what about you aj my favorite moment is is the all-time classic the first time i saw uh shawn michaels skin the cat with the one foot on the ground and they were like only one foot touched my childhood brain went and just exploded into tiny bits because i was like nine when that happened i think and i i lost it i was like that's the best stuff i've ever seen in my life nothing's gonna top that and you know what up until cm punk reaching it was it was touch and go um i'm trying to i'm trying to remember what that was the one where he beat bulldog right yep um yeah he i'm trying to find the where is it he won it two years sean michaels won it two years in a row uh i think it was royal rumble 95 that he did um entrances and eliminations yeah british bulldog and sean michaels went and went in that match went number one and went uh came out first and finished it was a and he and bulldog was number two so basically that was a shawn michaels versus the british bulldog match for 38 minutes and 41 seconds with the other part about the royal rumble is that that i love about the royal rumble and one of my favorite moments is that you always get like random dudes who get to be in a in a match where you literally think that hey maybe just maybe random card dude could win maybe just maybe you think that there's like a legitimate chance that a guy like stephen dunn could come out yeah i mean i remember uh we would always get the uh the the the grocer only carried like the programs like for royal rumble and stuff like that so that's the wrestling magazine i'd end up getting at the time uh and i remember like man man i really wonder if dean douglas is gonna pull this off you know uh you know because they've just listed everybody right so but but you look at that that the winner list here and it's brock vince mcmahon steve austin sean sean michaels uh luger and heart the one year uh flair hogan stud like before the first two years were like jim duggan and big john stutt but it's before they had title shots so yeah i mean you get i mean you literally get like yokozuna luke and brendar shawn michaels austin mcmahon the rock austin triple h lesnar benoit batista i mean you're only getting top-notch guys or guys who are on the cup yeah the guys are like on their way they're like okay who are they gonna give this to like who's gonna be pushed to the next level and it was like batista or even if you look at him like the last couple guys like batisa and cena i think were the last guys that one year and they both ended up in title matches right that was the year that vince ruined his legs yep yep man man so yeah there you go i wanna now uh now i wanna look back at some of these like storylines now that you're reading like what happened because yokozuna was the one who got the um no rumble winner a title shot i didn't realize that i as many times as i've watched wrestlemania 9 because it was for better and worse it's one of my favorites to watch and i was mine the the greek romans yeah the roman the roman cause it was amazing i have such fun memories to watch it that was one of the first ones i saw with my grandfather at the uh we would go to this bar and uh that ordered the pay-per-views and that was one of the first ones we went and saw and it was awesome wrestle fan what about you my favorite royal rumble memory was the 2004 return [ __ ] the 2004 royal rumble which didn't end in a royal rumble match and ended with brock lesnar beating bob holly to retain the wwe championship wait that was what yeah because they totally did not have a rumble that year totally didn't look it up look it up they didn't happen oh yeah yeah yeah okay no but honestly um in all honesty my favorite was that the year after that was 2005 because that was the first pay-per-view i actually watched live um i remember i got a old friend of mine from uh uh i think it was middle i guess yeah middle school at the time uh logan what the [ __ ] um uh and uh we watched the pay-per-view and that and like lunchbox mentioned that was the one where he'd uh been to mentors quad and batista and seen a pasta finish so they had to [ __ ] uh come up with something in the end so yeah that was a that was a fun one by the way i want to point out the wrestle fan uh says that brock lesnar defeating hardcore holly for the wwe title was the uh the main event of the non-existent royal rumble match incorrect sir incorrect mm-hmm the actual main event of the non-existent royal rumble match was triple h and shawn michaels in a draw in england oh i didn't think that was the main event okay tried to make the world heavyweight championship matter for like a quick second failed no i think it mattered back then i remember they had uh didn't have was it last man standing or whatever and like they were both like completely [ __ ] up like it was it was insane a draw in a last-minute thing i'm not sure um i'm trying to see who uh benoit eliminated big chef yeah yeah like wrapped around his neck and pulled up yeah make sure like pressed him up and then he grabbed him by his neck and then like was by using like by going under the ropes and like pulling on him because he got him out yeah it was a pretty cool elimination actually so that no one will ever remember ever no uh no remember one's there uh chachi do you have a favorite mania or i'm sorry rumble moment yeah the one i went to there you go because no it's not just because i was there hey it was at madison square garden yeah okay if you're gonna watch a wrestling event it should probably be at madison square garden uh b the anticipation of the royal rumble is 10 times greater when you're there in person so definitely definitely it was awesome it was a it was amazing and then we got drunk then we got drunk i had to save chad and we had we had people chanting edge for shad and he got up on shoulders and he got pictures with asian families and yeah it was that was awesome that's my favorite royal rumble moment somewhere there's an asian family with a framed photo of them and chad saying that's the time we met edge i mean you think does he just think about that sometimes like people have pictures of me that think i'm edge i would yeah i'd be like hmm yeah yeah uh my my favorite uh is definitely uh and this is one that uh uh again just one i watched over and over again is to me is the definitive uh royal rumble match uh was the time where ric flair won the belt coming in at number three it was just the promos before and after it just that's what bobby said it just stuck with me you know so i it really it really is the the the one that i probably watched the most times ever uh yeah say bobby's on the same page um mike says that him punking out the bret heart mark at the end was fun too uh drew carey was in the rumble from uh sandy cars um and doo doo doo doo drew carey i saw a few others here ariz says luger and um the 40 man one two says cars oh i forgot about the 40 man one they did the one year what was that like two years ago right yes yeah yeah yeah that's when they did the big i think that's when like the nexus was the big thing yeah they're like oh we have to do 40. they did a few different things in that match they normally wouldn't do because they had so much time to fill uh the year mr perfect was in the final four was amazing 2002 i think uh that year still had the best commentary team ever heenan savage and jr oh i need to go dig that up in 2002 in 2002 i don't think that's right because that's the one triple h won but perfect was in the final four he was in the final four yeah no no i thought perfect that was one like like mr perfect made a return out of nowhere and it was a for real return yeah it was it was tremendous he had like a pre-show match of mania that year albania 9 had that had that uh commentary team oh okay okay wasn't gorilla monsoon in nine no no no not on commentary at least um uh no it was right it was it was it was jr savage and yeah yeah yeah that's right and and he didn't that's right that's right i i was backtracking timeline so uh i want to point out that uh scotty 2 hottie was eliminated in the 2002 royal rumble by diamond dallas page this is this is the sort of stuff that wrestling database needs i want to know i need stats you sure it doesn't oh my god there is there is a site somewhere that's nothing but insane royal rumble stats i don't remember where it is or what it's called but it exists again the only thing we've been missing this whole time like since the royal rumbles this weekend where's that giant promo video where they give us all the numbers yeah i love that video [ __ ] it's been john cena eating like chicken fajitas in a shitty bar in that shitty [ __ ] commercial i don't care what you say sawyer that [ __ ] hate well yeah it's cheesy as [ __ ] but it's exactly how it goes down in the buffalo wild wings man yeah because the lady a lady in the buffalo water wings is totally like i think ryback or the shield is going to win but i don't want you she's a stupid [ __ ] and and they're there too hey okay be nice to the nice lady in the buffalo wild wings all right it doesn't know that shield is not one person yes be nice to her on that note 532 people have been in the royal rumble the shield might actually win it could be it could be tyler back going up entire black owner wrestlemania you never know hey uh wrestle fan yeah we have some things to do here all right i need you to go to random.org random.org is that happening now is that is that happening now i'm doing it right now yeah we're doing this right now okay for those of you who have no idea what we're talking about uh last year i started the royal rumble pool where uh we picked uh a bunch of i i generated 30 random numbers put them in a list in excel and basically randomize the entire rumble so that russell fan gotta got three i got three sword got three lady lunchbox got three lunchbox got three bobby and riz each got three i think and we watched the rumble and whoever won got bragging rights because what we're doing here it's to it all of us are kicking in ten bucks and if you'd like to be in uh tweet the mayhem show and say you would like to be in at mayhem show on twitter or send us an email at goodtimewrestlemayhamshow.com good times that was a hell of a delay and and let us know that you want to be in so here's the deal we're doing ten dollars for three spots so that means there's ten slots for the royal rumble from the pool standpoint all 100 of your american dollars no euros no pounds no franks no limas uh whatever they are dinars dinars is another one pesos uh what have you loons uh all 100 of them are i swear to god you [ __ ] give me any loonies or toonies and i will shove them straight up your non-american ass i was gonna i was gonna say you know benevolently and all that other stuff but you had to say you're gonna shove canadian currency into rectums and that's not nice for the kids for kids all right i guess i can accept fake money for the kids this is for the chillins uh we're gonna give all 100 of those dollars to uh chashi plays uh so he can play video games for charity and we can help out sick kid in the pittsburgh area so give me your money no no it's for our programs now russell yes i'm putting a link in the chat room for you to go to random.org integers that's math wrestle fan that's math math math part is generate 30 random 30 random integers uh these are whole numbers uh between infinity and infinity uh so it's 30 random integers each individual each integer should have a value between 1 and 30. again and format in one column and then click get numbers and you will get a string of numbers and i need you to email them to good times at wrestling mayhem show.com where then sword can probably email them to me these numbers aren't supposed to repeat are they are they repeating oh they are repeating something because there's five number fives or like three number fives um yeah i saw like a bunch of 22s in the one that i ran i thought that was it well we'll figure it out i want wrestle fan to run this so that so that there's no uh uh things here because he was very upset about his numbers no no no i got jinda mahal road dog and michael cole last year that's the dream team man i don't know what you're talking about the worst was because that's the year that you had all the commentary team go out because it was booker t jerry lawler michael cole oh yeah and booker t goes up and jerry lala goes up and then i say in my head if michael cole is my last pick i'm going to lose my [ __ ] and it was michael [ __ ] cole i would just also like to point out that uh mad mike has generously decided that for every pens win from now until chachi plays he's giving me five bucks that 2-0 start looks nice wrestle fan i've placed another link okay chat room this is the sequence is one not just random integers this looks much better this looks much better yep and uh so you generate that email whatever you got to uh sorg and we'll put it together and it's just gonna be uh the uh we're just gonna put names in we're just gonna name and then repeat in the names and then repeat so everybody's just gonna get those and there's no like real randomized and by the way i'm pointing this out now these are only the slots i have no idea who comes out first or last i don't know who comes out at number 17 so there's no way that you could possibly be sad that you got you know one seven and 22 or something like that you can't be mad about it you just got numbers there you go there and if you're mad anyhow it's for the children grow up there you go there you go and with that let's toss two mad mics hold on what do you want to point something out that we were we were playing for for chachi's charity but we're also playing for bragging rights and for a two-peat this year i'm not gonna back sheamus look at it last year because that would be silly uh but yes no i i i encourage everyone to uh to attempt to topple me from my throne and give chachi as much money as uh as as you can there you go and the numbers are sent so we are down yeah so uh also we need to figure out how many people uh have said that they are in yes yes all right uh with that let's go to mad mike's minute to mayhem and we'll be right back ladies and gentlemen boys and girls fans and friends across the land it's mad mike once again with your minute of mayhem guys it's the royal rumble time who isn't [ __ ] excited for the royal rumble who doesn't love the goddamn royal rumble i'll tell you who communists and people who vote for chachi for host of the year anyway and by the way those are one the same just in case you didn't get my meaning um the rumble the rumble now i know john cena really looks like he's going to win and god that'll be boring but if i may i propose an alternate solution that still gets us to rock cena maybe someone else at wrestlemania um see i personally think it's gonna be a triple threat match i think it's going to be i want it to be i'm going that's what i want to see if vince mcmahon i know you're watching make this happen please because this will be amazing and this will actually make the rumble unpredictable for once okay so royal rumble first of all before i get into this brad maddox who we'll play in later in my little scenario has been awesome i don't know if you guys saw main event last week i did um after miz was taken out i believe by the shield brad max just slid in did commentary of michael cole and i mean he was only on raw for a very short while last night holy [ __ ] was he hilarious of michael cole on the main event he was like referencing things that didn't make sense he was talking about wrestlemania 5 or 12 or 13 or one of them it was very very funny um watch main event seriously best programming wwe put out every week every single week may have been special so anyway this royal rumble idea i had rock versus punk you know you get a rough bump then brad maddox slides in with the referee shirt punk gets the win and boom punk continues on his wwe champion however because it wasn't the shield interference vince mcmahon says fine you know what that's okay cm punk we're going to give the rocker rematch elimination chamber one on one so rock doesn't get in the chamber but vince says that you know the rumble winner whoever it may be has chosen to go for the world heavyweight title so at elimination chamber there will be a chamber match with oh i don't know you got tons of guys cena ziggler ms barrett uh let's throw in kofi and i don't know someone like tensai i don't know someone like that and you have them all fight for the number one contendership for the wwe championship at elimination chamber rock beats punk clean i know none of us like that but it's gonna happen regardless so it might as well happen in a cool way then the next time raw obviously seeing the wind see number one contenders match in the chamber obviously so then the next night um raw is advertised that you'll see the contract signing between john cena and the rock twice in a lifetime for the wwe championship and then and then as they're about to sign the lights come out the shield and brad maddox attack rock and john cena rock and john cena are able to fight them off until cm punk comes out grabs the wwe championship and knocks both of them out he signs the contract and says he is instigating his rematch clause for wrestlemania so now the main event is wrestlemania triple threat rock cena punk that would be awesome it's way too creative i doubt wwe is going to do it cena will probably just win the rumble rock will probably just win the championship match and we're off and running oh well um one last thing tna i know this is long sword i apologize but there was a lot of [ __ ] going on this week tna wedding of the century taz as he aces and hates member actually kind of works for me it's fine i wasn't expecting it it was a nice reveal i don't know what they're gonna do with it but taz was really a good reveal for ace and nate's even though he can't fight but you know he's a way better amount of beasts than devon and also if you didn't watch impact and you like breasts even if they're brook hogan's you may want to watch impact i'm just saying all right well that's the minute vote for mad mike because of over mad mike is a vote for boobs bacon and freedom and who doesn't love all three of those communists and people who vote for chachi all right it's the minute peace [ __ ] such consequences dire you had this coming dearest monkey karma thanks man mike for that minute so mayhem i i i hey i'm i'm glad that you're behind me an event though um the show that chachi doesn't know exists uh no no seriously i saw the promise of it the first like week i i'm really glad that people are kind of getting on to that um maybe they could get on nxt i might have an article on wrestlingmayhemshow.com if it's still up uh about that as well uh including my my new diva crush page uh but no yeah oh the see you could roll your tongue [ __ ] yeah you know what's going on yeah yeah bo diggity knows how to do that [ __ ] for the ladies yeah kale pale ladies it's great for imitation as well um it's cold down here uh anyways uh we also have uh bobby do you just want me to read these i i suppose aj was commissioned to read was he okay i didn't know you were the okay what what's happening bobby all right uh bo bobby bo diggity north bow day in the fj town the f is full oh no no no no no no i know where you were going there and i'm going to stop it because i can't i can't claim john's town no i can't not from there on family there i can't claim it okay so this is this is uh uh uh bo f diggity the f is for flood town and this is comments from the unwashed masses and by the way we read these in 100 verbatim just as they're written i will be confused i have not pre-rubbed these so it is written so set cm punk can't win a fair fight fair f-a-r-e i agree with the boss if the shields enter far in the match cm punk should be strip because the shields and cm punk are working together i just hated these three guys so bloody much there's no words to explain my guts feel i saw a rock bringing evil sick these guys are teaching and spreading terrorism to the nation children this is not a sport dot dot dot if it's a sport it should be banned indefinitely my guts field to explain my gut's feeling i saw the rock bringing up blood it makes me feel evil sick the shield are terrorists and this has been comments from the unwashed masses thank you very much well i never wanted it to end thank you very much for watching uh so i had something marked here uh again we did a good talk about royal rumble and everything but there is something interesting happening tna something concerning friends of the show uh uh wrestlers we are fans of uh there is this tna gut check uh voting vodafone what what's going on here russell fan uh basically uh for those that don't know gut check is not just a funny like reality show thing they do on tv they have you know seminars that you can go to and i guess you know sort of have a try out of sorts for tna at various different locations where they do their house shows um and basically everyone that has uh been a part of that and has been to uh one of the gut checks at the house shows is in a poll right now and you can vote for them uh on who you think should advance in the poll and eventually get a shot on gut check now the most interesting and the way that i found out about this is the uh the campaign that facade has been doing um uh vote facade for the good what's that champagne campaign that's right that's right all right so so he's had this big thing he's invited everybody to it he's got 397 people going to this event etc he's invited like 2 000 people uh you see all kinds of graphics are going on uh uh here that fans are putting together it looks like um actually no i'm mistaken because actually this is actually the guy the other guy that put up put together the uh the event with him it looks like um so telling him you know go do this you know vote for go vote for such and such in which bracket and everything here's a straight link to it and it's really good that he's doing this because um when you look at this a lot of these names are not going to be familiar like uh that is not michael facade that you see there that you should be voting for and there's a few others in here and i'm going to put maybe i see another vote in here and it seems to be working let's see if these are doing as good as they were when they looked last night uh when the voting open you see okay okay let's see oh wait who well one the brackets are weird because they say they give you the letters and you have to go see what like h is and look there's decayed there's focade with 952 votes with 36 of the entire voting nobody's even touching him so far now voting is open until i think the first week of march there's plenty of time and every and everyone's in brackets so if you see multiple people that you like you can vote for them in their specific bracket yeah exactly exactly that [ __ ] gonna be on tv oh yeah oh yeah i hope so and that's the thing and there's a lot and you know facade's one i really hope this gets on i know bobby fish is also on there a lot of texas talents on there um there are parts of this thing that for me are a little [ __ ] like uh sort of the fact that you know i couldn't fight figure out how to get to the polling in the first place and also the fact that they're using their real names and they you know you have to like scroll through everyone's profiles like there's like 20 people in each bracket so it's just yeah there's um gregory irons on this uh yeah he's also doing fantastic in his is his poll when i looked last night but uh well i thought what's his real name rick smith i think it is so you have to go look up greg smith it's in a different bracket um sammy callahan i can't remember sammy something sammy johnston i want to say sammy johnston is on there bobby fish is there under his real name but bobbyfish is signed with roh uh there's another guy on here that his then you can put a youtube video on here like facade has one that's like a sizzle reel that he had he's had put together with all kinds of aiw iwc all kinds of other footage going on in there um and other people just have like really crappy here's a camera in the crowd of my match kind of situation yeah and then one guy has his jobber match against vance archer from www uh there's a couple referees i found when i started looking through the first and that's another problem i have how the [ __ ] are you gonna gut check a referee yeah yeah it's real simple listen listen to me listen yes you only have to be able to count to three but i i want to see believable kick out motions i want to see believable twos i want to see i want to see strong movements i don't want a referee who's going to go one two three it was it was yeah well also side note can we basically take i i i would be totally fine if they fired all tna's regular referees and replaced them with all these referees that are on gun check because they would there's a 95 percent chance they would be so much better now can they take bumps every week there you go that that's that's that's why you need to be in there that is where the gut check is and there's also the gut check can you take a bump you mentioned bobby fish that's in there that's currently signed with ring of honor which is kind of weird there's also mercedes kb i know these are in the wrestling name i don't know what her actual name is that she has on there she's on there uh and she's sasha banks in nxt oh wow that's [ __ ] yeah she's gonna be winning she's one i've been hearing about like that may be popping up on the main roster and as she was on like two weeks in a row the nxt that i've watched uh well here is a little bit of an additional uh it came from facebook joe dabrosky friend of the show drink uh i i i spotted this while getting ready for the show today uh to everyone campaigning for gut check votes we will do this like any other voting process in america i will cast my vote for the person and persons uh who i can bribe the easiest to carry out my own personal agenda this means sneaking several mentions of prime wrestling the montreal screwjob and dunkaroos on to uh tna programming convincing them convincing them to rehire my hero don west and getting me a job there only for me to turn around and plot against you behind your back so i can take your spot i voted you into in the first place that wasn't all in a tweet was it no that was facebook okay good now here's here's the thing prime wrestling sure the screwdrive has already been covered by wwe no no no no no there's there's a documentary coming out about the screw job okay there isn't already one out that there's another documentary coming out about the screwdrive that what the [ __ ] what the [ __ ] you need to know it's like well i'll explain later i thought wrestling with shadows had that [ __ ] covered uh there's there's there's a conspiracy theory one coming out oh great hold on hold on here hold on hold on hold on uh i couldn't make this hand motion earlier but i can make it now rinka dinka dinka dinka dinkako it's a project that's been on the table for a while like we started shooting like in 2010 and things happened and and it's finally getting done that's why we're going to wrestle con um so there you go so there's that what's that so anyways uh but gut check yeah um i can't do this you know i'd like to see some of these faces pop up on tna hopefully do something with them you know that's great it's tv exposure great to see how much uh uh facade and and and gregory iron stuff support they actually have compared to some of these other guys i think it kind of puts them in context at least people that can use uh their social media uh notoriety or whatever uh to get out there so yeah that's that's fantastic it's great seeing that with one of these guys so uh so let's see where this goes i don't know if it's you know they do one once a month so how many people are they gonna get in there right so yeah we'll see how they do so uh all right what else is coming up anything else we want to touch on uh raw last night happened yeah uh i have a question for everyone about raw last night okay um i cut out early because uh it wasn't very good um and then apparently john cena lost his mind can anyone enlighten you john cena was like on the world's amount of acid last night jesus it wasn't that bad it was a pretty bad sword like he he he points to like some kid in the crowd and like talks about like how you know he likes to i bet you like to go home from school and all but you gotta do your homework but then you want to get on xbox and uh what he said that his name his xbox name was skidmark something something and then he pointed a woman in there who actually exists yeah yeah um but and then he pointed a woman in the crowd and said something about how like she likes romantic movies or whatever and then she pointed some dude in the crowd that brought a fat head sign about how he uh has three uh two blow up doll girlfriends and blah blah and then somehow that promo was about him winning the royal rumble yeah yeah i came back around came back around somehow and then everybody started saying i don't know and then everybody started coming in saying that they were gonna they're gonna win the royal rumble and then eventually just everybody came in the ring and started fighting okay that promo yeah i was watching that i was watching that on mute and i'm sitting there going what the hell is he talking about i'm watching it on you i can't even hear him i'm just seeing him like point in the crowd and then do his like john cena look in the camera fourth wall face you ever notice that one when he's like look at this guy you know he's probably gay and then he like goes off on this thing it was pretty bad that's it's just i was watching that going like but i'm on mute and i'm like where is where are we going here and then like at the end i just saw him i came on marine lifts this was entirely on mute and i all i saw was yeah yeah he just yells he's gonna win the royal rumble okay and i'm like all right so this was just general john cena promo got it walking away okay and then we well then everyone starts walking out and cutting about a promo about how um they're gonna win the role like a two-second promo about how they're gonna win the royal rumble um and but with my favorite being the prime time players and darren young busting out the ain't nobody got time for that line so the big the big swerve will be well the person that wins the royal rumble be one of the persons that actually said something or it'll be the rest of the jobbers it'll be kurt hawkins but no no okay we i thought that pro we like completely went crazy for that whole segment not because it was good or because it was interesting or memorable but because of the fact that apparently wwe has an abundance of microphones yeah that's the thing that blew my mind i'm like how many microphones do they have the best part it got to like 10 people in and they all just dropped their microphones when they got in the ring on the steps so there's just a pile of microphones on the steps that's so awesome there was like there was a solid like 12 or 13 mites just piled all over the place as if someone has had like a microphone pinata and his smash kit and all of these microphones had fallen out but no it was it was not good my favorite part was um because the pro like they would cut a promo for like two seconds and then the next person's music would hit and they would come out like randy orton said something like i'm going to win the royal rumble and someone's music hit but he just keeps walking to the ring doesn't even acknowledge it like it's a surprise or anything like it's just it felt so like planned out like clearly planned out it was just a it was just a promo to get it was a promo and then a setup and a premise just to get people to the ring exactly and then they could do the big exactly well you get everybody in there it's like oh this is what it's like to remember what we're going to see except it's actually going to end and uh you know we got the same thing before the survivor series whatever two factions are fighting on the survivor series end up in the ring and and fighting all at the same time you know uh that's that's what happens well you get the main event at wrestlemania they they face off on the on on the raw right before we fade out before wrestlemania whoever's supposed to be on the top of the card cena miz roxina whatever the [ __ ] it is right uh this is just you know this is by the book and there's nothing more exciting going on the rumble match itself because we forgot it's there because of the rock well here listen they have michael cole says that and he's like this is gonna this is what it's gonna be like on sunday i'm like no it's not at the most you're going to have like 10 people in that ring only one black guy that these are the rules this is how the world really works you've got too many [ __ ] in that ring and they need a couple need to get eliminated free no no no this is true this is how this works there's too many people in that ring people are in the ring and they need to leave in order for this to be a realistic preview of what really happens in the wwe scripted royal rumble come on now i'm being i'm being honest all right let's let's touch base i think this is one thing we can recap here before we head out of here what are the unspoken rules of the road for one no more than one black guy in the ring at the at the same time it's just these observed things that we've seen what what else is there uh let's see is that the only one in the company will face off in the ring they don't have a stare down okay and neither of them will win greg kelly's gonna get eliminated by like eight people yeah there will always be a spot where four or five people are working on the same giant guy i want to get him out of the ring you know what i either okay sorry either greg kylie's gonna be eliminated by eight people or he's gonna be eliminated by one person there will be several state states of of watching uh somebody trying to be eliminated the wrong way yes uh because because then i can stop by holding onto the ropes like this for instance you know the wide you know grab or something like that didn't didn't uh didn't ezekiel jackson like get a push because he eliminated the great kali like on his own something like that yeah that's right yeah yeah i think you're right what happened to him he's on my deathbed i think i'm sorry firewatch there has to be somebody who gets eliminated very very quickly there's always at least one that's like oh he was only in there for like 30 seconds he came in he got tossed right out or something like that the santino uh warlord rule really uh rizz brings up a good point biggie langston will eliminate kali there you go there you go can we talk about how [ __ ] amazing biggie langston is like he is the [ __ ] greatest have you watched nxt yet i haven't watched you know that was pinched off at the head oh no watch watch the sheamus barrett match watch dolph aj and biggie celebrate afterwards it's the funniest [ __ ] thing you will ever get a call we got call from the chat room mad mike says uh um jinder m i'm sorry no i read that wrong uh cesaro will have the most eliminations you guys yeah i think i think this is gonna be a big uh rev a big big jump up for cesaro he i mean i mean look a few weeks ago he had a tag team match with like orton and big show and sheamus he's he's they're considering him for top end at this point that's tremendous they should he's been doing ridiculous [ __ ] in the ring you know between the stuff he's done with kali and and everybody else produce clay and everything i mean they're really really grooming this guy and i love that i love seeing that happen he's a guy that deserves it and he's he's been great for years you know um you know another one of those indie guys that we've seen for years and he's finally you know popping up there um you know kofi going to do something crazy goofy going to do something on his hands again now you're totally doing that yeah now you're to the point where every rumble there's always some like crazy elimination save yeah yeah i think you know what i think it goes to gabriel this year oh yeah why not he's in that kind of spot you know i can see him doing that he needs something yeah he doesn't have tyson kidd anymore yeah because he's got the aids he's what that's not why that's all right

CNN: Fox News is The Enemy Of The People
it's a whole host and you know who's playing into the hubs people like you and the fake news media that we have in this country and I say in many cases the corrupt media because you corrupt much of the media in this country is not just fake it's corrupt and you have some very fine people - great journalists great reporters but it's to a large extent it's [Music] what we really mean is promoting a conspiracy theory based on a bunch of lies that are being dredged up on the wind there was a time many years ago that I actually enjoyed watching CNN MSNBC CBS and the rest if for nothing else then to just hone my debate skills it was around that time that I started posting my first media bias content on YouTube although I had been posting on discussion forums like lively calm something awful calm and above top secret like I said it was fun and enjoyable back then but something has changed it is downright painful to sit through the blatantly hypocritical partisan diatribe that spews from people who present themselves as true secret patriot journalists who are valiantly defending democracy it was particularly tedious to sit through the latest propaganda hour with brian Stelter and his sidekick Oliver Darcy a man who's known for his work to censor the right on social media platforms the two lost their minds over Fox News is reporting of the Biden scandals and in particular the reporting about Democrats requesting dirt on Trump from Ukraine I noticed another word that I think wait a minute is that is that Chris Reagan or Rachel Maddow what's up with those glasses the unibrow look for those without a unibrow the president doesn't have evidence for his claims about Biden what we really mean is he's promoting a conspiracy theory based on a bunch of lies that are being dredged up on the web and I and I wonder Oliver if news outlets are meeting the moment well enough if we're just saying well he's he's saying this without evidence what lies Brian I love now how they're constantly throwing out the label of conspiracy theory and lies but are never specific about what it is they mean I assume they're talking about Democrat efforts to get dirt on Trump in Ukraine you're not familiar it was revealed recently in articles from The Washington Post Fox News the hill and Politico that Barack Obama the DNC and three Democrats tried to get investigations and dirt on Trump from Ukraine in the run-up to the election this is of course very damaging to the double standards that CNN and the DNC are trying to and force on their political opposition so we get these ridiculous displays and an attempt to deflect is it just me or is brian Stelter convulsing and having seizures he must have had a few energy drinks with his doughnuts that afternoon I'm guessing that this overexcited preacher act that he's putting on is supposed to strengthen his weak deflections - this stuff is untethered from reality that this stuff comes from the internet fever swamps and the president repeats it and that does not make it an unsubstantiated allegation necessarily it means it's just a distorted it's really poison it is the best way to describe it uh-huh of course Darcy's first instinct is that the media needs to drill a message into their viewers heads to convince them that reality is whatever CNN and the DNC says it is this is not the behavior of hard-hitting journalists this is the behavior of political operatives not at all surprising from a guy who's worked very hard to get his political opposition banned from the social media platforms these are the same people who claimed a smirking silent kid was somehow the aggressor when two groups of extremist adults descended on them the same people that backed up and promoted Jesse small that's claims the same people that promoted that fake Russian news story the same people that claim that Trump was a Russian agent for two years the very same people that claimed you couldn't read the WikiLeaks releases that you had to go to CNN to find out what's in them so you remember it's illegal to possess these stolen documents it's different for the media so everything you learn about this you're learning from us these are the same people who claim that Trump was worse than Stalin and Mao and a laundry list of other debunked fever swamp poison masquerading as unbiased journalism a lot of what we saw last week was a lot of these talking points really fall apart when they entered the real world hmm whereas they still are allowed to thrive on Fox and you know you just played that clip where people are talking about coos and civil wars it's really disturbing stuff and I actually kind of wonder Lachlan Murdoch you know the head of Fox how does he really look at himself in the mirror every morning okay first of all the stories that are out there about Democrats asking Ukraine to open investigate into Trump and requesting dirt on Trump were reported by several different outlets including those that leaned left like Washington Post and Politico he doesn't mention them just FoxNews because this guy's a liar and a deceiver whose job it is to destroy their business and political opposition second he mentions talk about coos and civil wars and puts the blame on the head of Fox News what he doesn't mention are all the leftist pundits in the media constantly talking about uprisings and civil war for example there have been several pundits on MSNBC who have claimed that we're on the verge of civil war without any hand-wringing or concern from the likes of Oliver Darcy Donald Trump we will not have a peaceful transition he will tell his people to take the streets I know that sounds extreme I believe Donald Trump is not beyond starting a civil war I don't know where Donald Trump is wants to take this but it's it's wherever it is it's going to be dangerous it could lead to some sort of horrible Civil War trust me just do an internet search and see for yourself all of the networks have had pundits talking about civil war and why wouldn't they the country is clearly split into two increasingly divergent sides something that I believe is occurring as a direct result of the media's biased coverage their tactics are so obvious they simply accuse their opposition of what they're currently engaged in at this point I'm honestly not sure if they're just stone-cold liars or if they really are just this blindly partisan that's all I have for you today please hit that like button I'm told it will help my video to get recommended while you're at it go ahead and hit that subscribe button and the bail notification while you're at it so you can be alerted to all my new content as always thank you for watching and keep coming back [Music]

Bondage of the Will | Martin Luther | Christianity - Other | Soundbook | English | 5/10
sections 59 through 75 of the bondage of the will by Martin Luther translated by Henry Cole this LibriVox recording is in the public domain discussion first part continued section 59 there is that of Isaiah 1:19 if he be willing and obedient ye shall eat the fat of the land where according to the judgment of the diatribe if there be no Liberty of the will it would have been more consistent had it been said if I will if I will not the answer to this may be plainly found in what has been said before moreover what consistency would there then have been had it been said if I will ye shall eat the fat of the land does the diatribe from it's so highly exalted wisdom imagine that the fat of the land can be eaten contrary to the will of God or that it is a rare and new thing that we do not receive of the fat of the land but by the will of God so also that of Isaiah 30:21 if you will inquire inquire ye return come to what purpose is it saith the diatribe to exhort those who are not in any degree in their own power it is just like saying to one bound in chains move thyself to this place nay I reply to what purpose is it to cite passages which of themselves prove nothing and which by the appendage of your conclusion that is by the perversion of their sins ascribe all unto freewill when a certain endeavor only was to be ascribed into it and to be proved the same may be said you observe concerning that of Isaiah 45 20s embolus elves and come turn ye unto me and ye shall be saved and that also of Isaiah 52 1 through 2 awake awake shake thyself from the dust loosed the bands of thy neck and that of jeremiah 1519 if thou wilt turn then will I turn thee and if thou shalt separate the precious from the vile thou shalt be as my mouth and Malachi more evidently still indicates the endeavor of free will and the grace that is prepared for him who endeavors turn ye unto me saith the Lord and I will turn unto you saith the Lord Malachi 3 7 section 60 in these passages our friend diatribe makes no distinction whatever between the voice of the law and the voice of the gospel because forsooth it is so blind and so ignorant that it knows not what is the law and what is the gospel for out of all the passages from Isaiah it produces no one word of the law save this if thou wilt all the rest is gospel by which as the word of offered grace the bruised and afflicted are called in consolation whereas the diatribe makes them words of the law but I pray thee tell me what can that man do in theological matters and the sacred writings who has not even gone so far as to know what is law and what is gospel or who if he does know condemns the observance of the distinction between them such an one must confound all things heaven with hell and life with death and will never labor to know anything of Christ concerning which I shall put my friend diatribe a little in remembrance in what follows look then first at that of Jeremiah and Malachi if thou wilt turn then will I turn thee and turn ye unto me and I will turn unto you does it then follow from turn ye therefore ye are able to turn does it follow also from love the Lord thy God with all thy heart therefore thou art able to love with all thine heart if these arguments stand good what do they conclude but that free will needs not the grace of God but can do all things of its own power and then how much more right would it be that the words should be received as they stand if thou shalt turn then will I also turn thee that is if thou shalt cease from sinning I also will cease from punishing and if thou shalt be converted and live well I also will do well unto thee and turning away thy captivity in thy evils but even in this way it does not follow that man can turn by his own power nor do the words imply this but they simply say if thou wilt turn by which man is admonished of what he ought to do and when he has thus known and seen what he to do but cannot do he would ask how he is to do it we're it not for that Leviathan of the diatribe that is that appendage in conclusion it is here tacked on which comes in and between and says therefore if man cannot turn of his own power turn ye is spoken in vain but of what nature all such conclusion is and what it amounts to has been already fully shown it must however be a certain stupor or lethargy which can hold that the power of free will is confirmed by these words turn ye if thou wilt turn and the like and does not see that for the same reason it must be confirmed by this scripture also thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thine heart seeing that the meaning of him who commands and requires is the same in both instances for the loving of God is not less required than our conversion and the keeping of all the commandments because the loving of God is our a real conversion and yet no one attempts to prove free will from that command to love although from those words if thou wilt if thou wilt hear turn ye and the like all attempt to prove it if therefore from that word love the Lord thy God with all thy heart it does not follow that free will is anything or can do anything it is certain that it neither follows from these words if thou wilt if thou wilt hear turn ye and the like which either require less or require with less force of importance than these words love God love the Lord whatever therefore is said against drawing a conclusion in support of free will from this word love God the same must be said against drawing a conclusion in support of free will from every other word of command or requirement for if by the command to love the nature of the law only be shown and what we ought to do but not the power of the will or what we can do but rather what we cannot do the same is shown by all the other scriptures of requirement for it is well known that even the school men accept the scrutiny ins and moderns assert that man cannot love God with all his heart therefore neither can he perform any one of the other precepts for all the rest according to the testimony of Christ hang on this one hence by the testimony even of the doctors of the schools this remains as a settled conclusion that the words of the law do not prove the power of free will but show what we ought to do and what we cannot do section 61 but our friend diatribe proceeding to still greater lengths of inconsiderateness not only infers from that passage of Malachi 3 7 Turin ye unto me and indicative sense but also goes on with zeal to prove there from the endeavor of free will and the grace prepared for the person endeavoring here at last it makes mention of the endeavor and by a new kind of grammar to turn signifies with it the same thing as to endeavour so that the sense is turn ye unto me that is endeavour ye to turn and I will turn unto you that is I will endeavour to turn unto you so that at last it attributes an endeavour even unto God and perhaps would have grace to be prepared for him upon his endeavoring for if turning signify endeavoring in one place why not in every place again it says that from Jeremiah 1519 if thou shalt separate the precious from the vile not the endeavor only but the liberty of choosing is proved which before it declared was lost and changed into a necessity of serving sin you see therefore that in handling the Scriptures the diatribe has a free will with a witness so that with it words of the same kind are compelled to prove endeavor in one place and liberty in another just as the turn suits but threw away with vanities the word turn is used in the scriptures in a two-fold sense the one legal the other evangelical in the legal sense it is the voice of the eggs actor and commander which requires not an endeavor but a change in the whole life in this sense Jeremiah frequently uses it saying turn ye now every one of you from his evil way and turn ye unto the Lord in which he involves the requirement of all the commandments as is sufficiently evident in the evangelical sense it is the voice of the divine consolation and promise by which nothing is demanded of us but in which the grace of God is offered unto us of this kind is that of Psalm 126 1 when the Lord shall turn again the captivity of Zion and that of Psalm 116 7 turn again unto thy rest o my soul hence Malachi and a very brief compendium has set forth the preaching both of the law and of grace it is the wholesome of the law where he saith turn ye unto me and it is Grace where he saith I will turn unto you wherefore it as much as freewill is proved from this word love the Lord or from any other word of particular law just so much is it proved from this word of summary law turn ye it becomes a wise reader of the scriptures therefore to observe what our words of the law and what our words of grace that he might not be involved in confusion like the unclean Sophists and like this sleepily yawning diatribe section 62 now observe in what way the diatribe handles that single passage in Ezekiel 1823 as I live saith the Lord I desire not the death of a sinner but rather that he should turn from his wickedness and live in the first place if it says the expressions shall turn away hath done have committed be so often repeated in this chapter where are they who deny that man can do anything only remarked I pray the excellent conclusion it set out to prove the endeavor and the desire of free will and now it proves the whole work that all things are fulfilled by free will where now I pray are those who need Grace and the Holy Spirit for it pertl ER used thus saying Ezekiel says if the wicked man shall turn away and shall do righteousness and judgment he shall live therefore the wicked man does that immediately and can do it whereas Ezekiel is signifying what ought to be done but the diatribe understands it as being done and having been done thus teaching us by a new kind of grammar that ought to be is the same as having been being exacted the same as being performed and being required the same as being rendered and then that voice of the all-suite gospel I desire not the death of a sinner and so forth it perverts thus would the righteous Lord deplore that death of his people which he himself wrought in them if therefore he wills not our death it certainly is to be laid to the charge of our own will if we perish for what can you lay to the charge of him who can do nothing either of good or evil it was upon this same thing that Pelagius harped long ago when he attributed to free will not a desire nor an endeavor only but the power of doing and fulfilling all things for as I have said before these conclusions prove that power if they prove anything so that they make with equal may with more force against the diatribe which denies that power of free will and which attempts to establish the endeavor only then they do against us who deny free will altogether but to say nothing of the ignorance of the diatribe let us speak to the subject it is the gospel voice in the sweetest consolation to miserable sinners where Ezekiel saith I desire not the death of a sinner but rather that he should be converted and live and it is in all respects likened to that of Psalm 35 for his wrath is but for a moment in his willingness is life and that of Psalm 36 7 how sweet is thy loving-kindness O God also for I am merciful and that of Christ Matthew 11:28 come unto me all ye that labor and are heavy laden and I will give you rest and also that of exodus 26 I will show mercy unto thousands of them that love me and what is more than half of the holy scripture but mere promises of grace by which mercy life peace and salvation are extended from God unto men and what else is the whole word of promise but this I desire not the death of a sinner is not this sane I am merciful the same as saying I am NOT angry I am unwilling to punish I desire not your death my will is to pardon my will is to spare and if there were not these divine promises standing by which conscience is afflicted with a sense of sin and terrified at the fear of death and judgment might be raised up what place would there be for pardon or for hope what sinner would not sink in despair but as freewill is not proved from any of the other words of mercy of promise or of comfort so neither is it from this I desire not the death of a sinner and so forth but our friend diatribe again making no distinction between the words of the law and the words of the promise makes this passage of Ezekiel the voice of the law and expounds it thus I desire not the death of a sinner that is I desire not that he should sin unto death or should become a sinner guilty of death but rather that he should be converted from sin if he have committed any and thus live for if it do not expound the passage thus it will make nothing to its purpose but this is utterly to destroy and take away that most sweet place of Ezekiel I desire not to the death if we in our blindness will read and understand the Scriptures thus what wonder if they be obscure and ambiguous whereas God does not say I desire not the sin of man but I desire not the death of a sinner which manifestly shows that he is speaking of the punishment of sin of which the sinner has a sense on account of his sin that is of the fear of death and that he is raising up and comforting the sinner lying under this affliction and desperation that he might not break the bruised Reed nor quench the smoking flax but raise him to the hope of pardon and salvation in order that he might be further converted that is by the conversion unto salvation from the fear of death and that he might live that is might be in peace and rejoice in a good conscience and this is also to be observed that as the voice of the law is not pronounced but upon those who neither feel nor know their sins as Baal saith by the law is the knowledge of sin Romans 3:20 so the word of grace does not come but unto those who feeling their sins are distressed and exercised with desperation therefore in all the words of the law you will find sin to be implied while it shows what we ought to do as on the contrary in all the words of the promise you will find the evil to be implied under which the sinners or those who are raised up labor as here I desire not the death of a sinner clearly points out the death and the sinner both the evil itself which is felt and the sinner himself who feels it but by this love God with all thine heart has shown what good we ought to do not what evil we feel in order that we might know how far we are from doing good section 63 nothing therefore could be more absurdly adduced in support of free will than this passage of Ezekiel nay it makes with all possible force directly against free will for it is here shown in what state free will is and what it can do under the knowledge of sin and in turning itself from it that is that it can only go on to worse and add to it sins desperation and in penitence II unless God soon come in to help and to call back and raise up by the word promise for the concern of God and promising grace to recall and raise up the sinner is itself an argument sufficiently great and conclusive that free will of itself cannot but go on to worse and as the scripture saith fall down to hell unless indeed you imagine that God is such a trifler that he pours forth so great an abundance of the words of promise not from any necessity of them unto our salvation but from a mere delight in loquacity wherefore you see that not only all the words of the law stand against free will but also that all the words of the promises utterly confuse it that is that the whole scripture makes directly against it hence you see this word I desire not the death of a sinner does nothing else but preach and offer divine mercy to the world which none receive with joy and gratitude but those who are distressed and exercised with the fears of death for they are they in whom the law has now done its office that is in bringing them to the knowledge of sin but they who have not yet experienced the office of the law who do not yet know their sin or field years of death despise the mercy promised in that word section 64 but why is it that some are touched by the law and some are not touched why some received the offered grace and some despise it that is another question which is not here treated on by Ezekiel because he is speaking of the preached and offered mercy of God not of that secret and to be feared will of God who according to his own counsel ordains whom and such as he will to be receivers and partakers of the preached and offered mercy which will is not to be curiously inquired into but to be adored with reverence as the most profound secret of the divine Majesty which he reserves unto himself and keeps hidden from us and that much more religiously than the mention of 10,000 caribbean caverns but since the diatribe thus pertly argues would the righteous Lord deplore that death of his people which he himself works in them this would seem quite absurd I answer as I said before we are to argue in one way concerning the will of God preached revealed and offered unto us and worshipped by us and in another concerning God himself not preached not revealed not offered unto us and worshipped by us in whatever therefore God hides himself and will be unknown by us that is nothing unto us and here that sentiment stands good what is above us does not concern us and that no one might think that this distinction is my own I follow Paul who writing to the Thessalonians concerning Antichrist saith 2nd Thessalonians 2:4 that he should exalt himself above all that is God as preached and worshipped evidently intimating that anyone might be exalted above God as he has preached and worshipped that is above the word and worship of God by which he is known unto us and has intercourse with us but above God not worshiped and preached that is as he is in his own nature and majesty nothing can be exalted that all things are under his powerful hand god therefore is to be left to remain in his own nature and majesty for in this respect we have nothing to do with him nor does he wish us to have in this respect anything to do with him but we have to do with him as far as he is clothed in and delivered to us by his word for in that he presents himself unto us and that is his beauty and his glory in which the psalmist celebrates him as being clothed wherefore we say that the righteous God does not deplore that death of his people which he himself works in them but he deplores that death which he finds in his people and which he desires to remove from them for God preached desires this that our sin and death being taken away we might be saved he sent his word and healed him it's on 107 20 but God hidden in majesty neither deplores nor takes away death that works life and death and all things nor has he in this character defined himself in his word but has reserved unto himself a free power over all things but the diatribe is deceived by its own ignorance in not making a distinction between God preached and God hidden that is between the Word of God and God himself God does many things which he does not make known unto us in his word he also wills many things which he does not in his word make known unto us that he wills thus he does not will the death of a sinner that is in his word but he wills it by that will inscrutable but in the present case we are to consider his word only and to leave that will inscrutable seeing that it is by his word and not by that will inscrutable that we are to be guided for who can direct himself according to a will inscrutable and incomprehensible it is enough to know only that there is in God a certain will inscrutable but what why and how far that will wills it is not lawful to inquire to wish to know to be concerned about or to reach unto it is only to be feared and adored therefore it is rightly said if God does not desire our death it is to be laid to the charge of our own will if we perish this I say is right if you speak of God preached for he desires that all men should be saved seeing that he comes unto all by the word of salvation and it is the fault of the will which does not receive him as he saith Matthew 23 37 how often would I have gathered thy children together and thou wouldest not but why that Majesty does not to take away or change this fault of the will in all seeing that it is not in the power of man to do it or why he lays that to the charge of the will which the man cannot avoid it becomes us not to inquire and though you should inquire much yet you will never find out as Paul saith Romans 9:22 art thou that repliest against God suffice it to have spoken thus upon the passage of Ezekiel now let us proceed to the remaining particulars section 65 the diatribe next argues if what is commanded be not in the power of everyone all the numberless expectations in the scriptures and also all the promises threatenings expostulations reproofs as separations benedictions and maledictions together with all the forms of precepts must of necessity stand coldly useless the diatribe is perpetually forgetting the subject point and going on with that which is contrary to its professed design and it does not see that all these things make with greater force against itself than against us for from all these passages it proves the liberty and ability to fulfill all things as the very words of the conclusion which it draws necessarily declare whereas its design was to prove that free will is that which cannot will anything good without grace and is a certain endeavor that is not to be ascribed to its own powers but I do not see that such an endeavor is proved by any of these passages but that as I have repeatedly said already and that only is required which ought to be done unless it be needful to repeat it again as often as the diatribe harps upon the same string putting off its readers with a useless profusion of words about the last passage which it brings forward out of the Old Testament is that of Deuteronomy 30 11 through 14 this commandment which I command thee today is not above thee neither is it far off neither is it in heaven that thou should it say who of us shall ascend up into heaven and bring it down unto us that we may hear it and do it but the word is very ngayon to thee in thy mouth and in thy heart that thou mayest do it the diatribe contends that it is declared by this passage that what is commanded is not only placed in us but is downhill work that is easy to be done or at least not difficult I think that diatribe for such wonderful error addition for if Moses so plainly declare that there is in us not only an ability but also a power to keep all the commandments with ease why have I been piling all this time why did I not at once produce this passage and assert free will before the whole world what need now of Christ what need of the Spirit we have now found a passage which stops the mouths of all and which not only plainly asserts the liberty of the will but teaches that the observance of all the commandments is easy what need was there for Christ to purchase for us even with his own blood the Spirit has no necessary in order that he might make the keeping of the commandments easy unto us when we were already thus qualified by nature nay here the diatribe itself recounts its own assertions where it affirmed that free will cannot will anything good without grace and now affirms that free will is of such power that it can not only will good but keep the greatest may all the commandments with ease only observe I pray what a mind does where the heart is not in the cause and how impossible it is that it should not expose itself and can there still be any need to compute the diatribe who can more effectually confute it then it computes itself this truly is that beast that devours itself how true is the proverb that a liar should have a good memory I have already spoken upon this passage of Deuteronomy I shall now treat upon it briefly if indeed there be any needs so far to set aside Paul who Romans 10 5 through 11 so powerfully handles this passage you can see nothing here to be said nor one single syllable to speak either of the ease or difficulty of the power or impotency of free will or of men either to keep or not to keep the commandments except that those who entangle the scriptures in their own conclusions and koja tations make them obscure and ambiguous to themselves that they might thus make of them what they please but if you cannot turn your eyes this way turn your ears or feel out what I am about to say with your hands Moses say if it is not above thee neither is it far from thee neither is it in heaven neither is it beneath the sea now what is the meaning of this above thee what of this far from thee what of this in heaven what of this beyond the sea will they then make the most commonly used terms and even grammar so obscure unto us that we shall not be able to speak anything to a certainty merely that they might establish their assertion that the Scriptures are obscure according to my grammar these terms signify neither the quality nor the quantity of human powers but the distance of places only for above thee does not signify a certain power of the will but a certain place which is above us so also far from thee in heaven beyond the sea did not signify anything of ability in man but a certain place at a distance above us or on our right hand or on our left hand or behind us or over against us someone may perhaps laugh at me for disputing and so plain away thus setting as it were already marked out lesson before such great men as though they were little boys learning their alphabet and I were teaching them how to put syllables together but what can I do when I see darkness to be sought for in a light so clear and those studiously desiring to be blind boasting Li enumerate before us such a series of ages so much talent so many Saints so many martyrs so many doctors and who was so much Authority boast of this passage and yet will not deign to look at the syllables or to command their koja tations so far as to give the passage of which they boast one consideration let the diatribe now go home and consider and say how it can be that one poor private individual should see that which escaped the notice of so many public characters and of the greatest men of so many ages this passage surely even in the judgment of a schoolboy proves that they must have been blind not very unfrequently what therefore does Moses mean by these most plain and clear words but that he has worthily performed his office as a faithful lawgiver and that therefore if all men have not before their eyes and do not know all the precepts which are enjoying the fault does not rest with him that they have no place left them for excuse so as to say they did not know or had not the precepts or were obliged to seek them elsewhere that if they do not keep them the fault rests not with the law or with the lawgiver but with themselves seeing that the law is before them and the lawgiver has taught them and that they have no place left for excuse ation of ignorance only for accusation of negligence and disobedience it is not saith he necessary to fetch the laws down from heaven nor from lands beyond the sea nor from afar nor can you frame as an excuse that you never had them or heard them for you have them nigh unto you they are they which God hath commanded which you have heard from my mouth and which you have had in your hearts and in your mouths continually you have heard them treated on by the Levites in the midst of you of which this my word and book are witnesses this therefore only remains that you do them what I pray you is here attributed unto free will what is there but the demand mean that it would do the laws which it has and the taking away from it the excuse of ignorance and the want of the laws these passages are the some of what the diatribe brings forward out of the Old Testament in support of free will which being answered that remains nothing that is not answered at the same time whether it have brought forward or wished to bring forward more seeing that it could bring forward nothing but imperative or conditional or updated passages by which is signified not what we can do or do do as I have so often replied to the so often repeating diatribe but what we ought to do and what is required of us in order that we might come to the knowledge of our impotency and that there might be rot in us the knowledge of our sin or if they do prove anything by means of the appended conclusions and similitudes invented by human reason they prove this that free will is not a certain small degree of endeavor or a desire only but a full and free ability and power to do all things without the grace of God and without the Holy Spirit thus nothing less is proved by the whole some of that copious and again and again reiterated and inculcated argumentation then that which was aimed at to be proved that is the probable opinion by which free will is defined to be of that impotency that it cannot will anything good without grace but is compelled unto the service of sin though it has an endeavor which nevertheless is not to be ascribed to its own powers a monster truly which at the same time can do nothing by its own power and yet has an endeavor within its own power and thus stands upon the basis of the most manifest contradiction section 66 now we come to the new testament where again are marshaled up in defense of that miserable bondage of free will and host of imperative sentences together with all the auxiliaries of carnal reasons such as conclusions similitudes and so forth called in from all quarters and if you ever saw represented in a picture or imagined in a dream a king of fly is attended by his forces armed with Lance's and shields of straw or hay drawn up in battle array against the real and complete army of veteran warriors it is just us that the human dreams of the diatribe are drawn up in battle array against the hosts of the Word of God first of all March is fourth in front that of Matthew 23 37 through 39 as it were the akiles of these flies Oh Jerusalem Jerusalem how often would I have gathered thy children together and thou wouldest not if all things be done from necessity says the diatribe might not Jerusalem here have justly said in reply to the Lord why does now weary they self with useless tears if out it's not will that we should kill the prophets why didst thou send them why does thou lay that to our charge which from will Envy was done of necessity by us thus the diatribe I answer granting in the meantime that this conclusion and proof of the diatribe is good and true what I ask is proved there by that probable opinion which affirms that free will cannot will good nay the will is proved to be free whole and able to do all things which the prophets have spoken and such a will the diatribe never intended to prove but let the diatribe here replied to itself if free will cannot will good why is it laid to its charge that it did not hear the prophets whom as they taught good it could not hear by its own powers why it is Christ in useless tears weep over those as though they could have willed that which he certainly knew they could not we'll hear I say let the diatribe free Christ from the imputation of madness according to its probable opinion and then my opinion is immediately set free from that Achilles of the Flies therefore that passage of Matthew either forcibly proves free will altogether or makes with equal force against the diatribe itself and strikes it frustrate with its own weapon but I here observe as I have observed before that we are not to dispute concerning that secret will of the divine majesty and that that human temerity which with incessant perverseness is ever leaving those things that are necessary and attacking and trying this point is to be called off and driven back that it employ not itself in prying into those secrets of majesty which it is impossible to attain them to seeing that they dwell in that light which is inaccessible as Paul witnesseth first Timothy 6 16 but let the man acquaint himself with the God incarnate or as Paul saith with Jesus crucified in whom are all the treasures of wisdom and knowledge but hidden for in him there is an abundance both of that which he ought to know and of that which he ought not to know the God incarnate then here speaks thus I would and thou wouldest not the God incarnate I say was sent for this purpose that he might desire speak do suffer and offer unto all all things that are necessary unto salvation although he should offend many who being either left or hardened by that secret will of Majesty should not receive him thus desiring speaking doing and offering his John 1:5 saith the light shine if in darkness and the darkness comprehended it not and again he came unto his own and his own received him not 11 it belongs also to this same God incarnate to weep to lament and to sigh over the perdition of the wicked even while that will of majesty from purpose leaves and reprobates some that they might perish nor does it become us to inquire why he does so but to revere that God who can do and wills to do such things nor do I supposed that anyone will Couvillion Lee deny that that will which here saith how often would I was displayed to the Jews even before God became incarnate seeing that they are accused of having slain the prophets before Christ and having thus resisted his will for it is well-known among Christians that all things were done by the prophets in the name of Christ to come who was promised that he should become incarnate so that whatever has been offered unto men by the ministers of the word from the foundation of the world may be rightly called the will of Christ section 67 but here reason who is always very knowing and loquacious will say this is an excellently invented scape gap that as often as we are pressed close by the force of arguments we might run back to that to be revered will of majesty and thus silence the disputant as soon as he becomes troublesome just as astrologers do who by their invented epicycles elude all questions concerning the motion of the whole heaven I answer it is no invention of mine let a command supported by the Holy Scriptures Paul Romans 919 speaks thus why therefore doth God find fault for who hath resisted his will nay but o man who art thou that contended with God hath not the Potter of power and so on and before him Isaiah 58 - yet they seek me daily and desire to know my ways as a nation that did righteousness they ask of me the ordinances of justice and desire to approach unto God from these words it is I think sufficiently manifest that it is not lawful for men to search into that will of majesty and this subject is of that nature that perverse men are here the most led to pry into that to be revered will and therefore there is here the greatest reason why they should be exhorted to silence and reverence in other subjects where those things are handled for which we can give a reason and for which we are commanded to give a reason we do not this and if anyone still persists in searching into the reason of that will and do not choose to hearken to our admonition we let him go on and like the Giants fight against God while we look on to see what triumph II will gain persuaded in ourselves that he will do nothing either to injure our cause or to advance his own for it will still remain unalterable that he must either prove that free will can do all things or that the Scriptures which he a doose's must make against himself and which so ever of the two shall take place he vanquished lies prostrate while we as conquerors stand upright section 68 another passage is that of Matthew 19:17 if thou wilt enter to life keep the commandments with what face says the diatribe can if thou wilt be said to him who has not a free will to which I reply is therefore the will according to this word of Christ free but you wish to prove that free will cannot will anything good and that without race it of necessity serves sin with what face then do you now make will wholly free the same reply will be made to that also if thou wilt be perfect if anyone will come after me he that will save his life if ye love me if he shall continue in a word as I said before to ease the diatribes labor in adducing such a load of words let all the conditional ifs and all the imperative verbs be collected together all these precepts says the diatribe stand coldly useless if nothing be attributed to the human will how old is that conjunctive if accord with mere necessity I answer if they stand coldly useless it is your fault that they stand coldly useless who at one time assert that nothing is to be attributed to free will while you make free will unable to will good and who on the contrary here make the same free will able to will all good may you thus make them to stand as nothing at all unless with you the same words and coldly useless and warmly useful at the same time while they at once assert all things and deny all things I wonder how any author candlelight and repeating the same things so continually and to be as continually forgetting his subject design unless perhaps distrusting his cause he wishes to overcome his adversaries by the bulk of his book or two weary him out with the tedium and toil of reading it by what conclusion I ask does it follow that will and power must immediately take place as often as it is said if thou wilt if anyone will if thou shalt do we not most frequently imply in such expressions impotency rather and impossibility for instance if thou wilt equal virgil and seen my friend maevius thou must sing in another strain if thou wilt surpass Cicero friends kotas instead of thy subtle jargon thou must have the most exalted eloquence if thou will stand in competition with David thou must of necessity produced Psalms like his here are plainly signified things impossible to our own powers although by divine power all these things may be done so it is in the scriptures that by such expressions it might be shown what we cannot do ourselves but what can be done in us by the power of God moreover if such expressions should be used in those things which are utterly impossible to be done as being those which God would never do then indeed they might rightly be called either coldly useless or ridiculous because they would be spoken in vain whereas now they are so used that by them not only the impotency of free will is shown by which no one of those things can be done but it is also signified that a time will come when all those things shall be done but by a power not our own that is by the divine power provided that we fully admit that in such expressions there is a certain signification of things possible and to be done as if anyone should interpret them thus if thou wilt keep the commandments that is if thou shalt at any time have the will to keep the commandments though thou wilt have it not of thyself but of God who giveth it to whom he will they also shall preserve thee but to take a wider scope these expressions especially those which are conditional seem to be so placed also on account of the predestination of God and to involve that as being unknown to us as if they should speak thus if thou desire if thou wilt that is if thou be such with God that he shall deign to give thee this will to keep the commandments thou shalt be saved according to which manner of speaking it has given us to understand both truths that we can do nothing ourselves and that if we do anything God works that in us this is what I would say to those who will not be contented to have it said that by these words impotency only is shown and who will contend that there is also proved a certain power and ability to do those things which are commanded and in this way it will also appear to be truth that we are not able to do any of the things which are commanded and yet that we are able to do them all that is speaking of the former with reference to our own powers and of the latter with reference to the grace of God section 69 the third particular that moves the diatribe is this how there can be it observes any place for mere necessity there where mention is so frequently made of good works and of bad works and where there is mentioned made of reward I cannot understand for neither nature nor necessity can have merit nor can I understand anything but this that that probable opinion asserts mirror necessity where it affirms that free will cannot will anything good and yet nevertheless here attributes to it even merit hence free will gains ground so fast as the book and argumentation of the diatribe increases that now it not only has an endeavor and desire of its own though not by its own powers may not only wills good and does good but also merits eternal life according to that saying of Christ Matthew 5:12 rejoice and be exceedingly glad for great is your reward in heaven your reward that is the reward of free will for the diatribe so understands this passage that Christ and the Spirit of God are nothing for what need is there of them if we have good works and merit by free will I say these things that we may see that it is no rare thing for men of exalted talent to be blind in a matter which is plainly manifest even to one of the thick and uninformed understanding and that we may also see how weak arguments drawn from human Authority are in divine things were the authority of God alone avails but we have here to speak upon two things first upon the precepts of the New Testament and next upon merit we shall touch upon each briefly having already spoken upon them more fully elsewhere the New Testament properly consists of promises and expectations even as the old properly consists of laws and threatenings for in the New Testament the gospel is preached which is nothing else than the word by which are offered unto us the spirit grace and the remission of sins obtained for us by Christ crucified and all entirely free through the mirror mercy of God the Father thus favoring us unworthy creatures who deserve damnation rather than anything else and then follow expectations in order to animate those who are already justified and who have obtained mercy to be diligent in the fruits of the spirit and of righteousness received to exercise themselves in charity and good works and to bear courageously the cross and all the other tribulations of this world this is the wholesome of the New Testament but how little Erasmus understands of this matter is manifest from this it knows not how to make any distinction between the Old Testament and the new for it can see nothing anywhere but precepts by which men are formed to good manners only but what the new birth is the new creature regeneration and the whole work of the spirit of all this it sees nothing whatever so that I am struck with wonder and astonishment and that the man who has spent so much time and study upon these things should know so little about them this passage therefore rejoice and be exceedingly glad for great is your reward in heaven agrees as well with free will as light does with darkness for Christ is there exhorting not free will but his apostles who were not only raised above free will in Grace and justified but were stationed in the Ministry of the word that is in the highest degree of grace to endure the tribulations of the world but we are now disputing about free will and that particularly as it is without grace which by laws and threats or the Old Testament is instructed in the knowledge of itself only that it might flee to the promises presented to it in the New Testament section 70 as to merit or a proposed reward what is it else but a certain promise but that promise does not prove that we can do anything it proves nothing more than this if anyone shall do this thing or that he shall then have a reward whereas our subject inquiry is not what reward is to be given or how it is to be given but whether or not we can do those things for the doing of which the reward is to be given this is the point to be settled and proved would not these be ridiculous conclusions the prize is set before all that run in the race therefore all can so run as to obtain if Tsar shall conquer the Turks he shall gain the kingdom of Syria therefore it's our can conquer and does conquer the Turks if Free Will shall gain dominion over sin it shall be holy before the Lord therefore free will is holy before the Lord let away with things so stupid and openly absurd except that free will deserves to be proved what it is by arguments so excellent let us rather speak to this point that necessity has neither merit nor reward if we speak of the necessity of compulsion it is true if we speak of the necessity of immutability it is false for who would bestow a reward upon or ascribed merit to an unwilling workman but with respect to those who do good or evil willingly even though they cannot alter that necessity by their own power the reward or punishment follows naturally and necessarily as it is written thou shalt render unto every man according to his works proverbs 20:4 12 it naturally follows if L remain under water thou wilt be suffocated if thou swim out though will be saved to be brief as it respects merit or reward you must speak either of the worthiness or of the consequence if you speak of the worthiness there is no merit no reward for if free will cannot of itself will good but wills good by grace alone for we are speaking of free will apart from grace and inquiring into the power which properly belongs to each who does not see that good will merit and belong to grace alone here then again the diatribe descends from itself well it argues from merit the freedom of the will and with me against whom it fights it stands in the same condemnation as ever that is its asserting that there is merit reward and liberty makes the same as ever directly against itself seeing that it asserted above that it could will nothing good and then there took to prove that assertion if you speak of the consequence there is nothing either good or evil which has not its reward and here arises an error that in speaking of merits and rewards we agitate opinions and questions concerning worthiness which has not existence when we ought to be disputing concerning consequences for their remains as a necessary consequence the judgment of God and a hell for the wicked even though they themselves neither conceived nor think of such a reward for their sins may they utterly detest it and as Peter saith execrated 2nd Peter to 10 through 14 in the same manner there remains a kingdom for the just even though they themselves neither seek it nor think of it seeing that it was prepared for them by their father not only before they themselves existed but before the foundation of the world nay if they should work good in order to obtain the kingdom they never would obtain it but would be numbered rather with the wicked who with an evil and mercenary I seek the things of self even in God whereas the sons of God do good with a free will seeking no reward but the glory and will of God only ready to do good even if which is impossible there were neither a kingdom nor hell these things are I believe sufficiently confirmed even from that saying of Christ only which I have just cited Matthew 25:34 come ye blessed of my father received the kingdom which was prepared for you from the foundation of the world how can they merit that which is theirs and prepared for them before they had ever existed so that we might much more rightly say the kingdom of God merits us its possessors and thus placed the merit where these place the reward and the reward were these placed the merit for the kingdom is not merited but before prepared and the sons of the kingdom are before prepared for the kingdom but do not merit the kingdom for themselves that is the kingdom merits the sons not sons the kingdom so also he'll more properly merits and prepares its sons seeing that Christ saith the part ye cursed into eternal fire prepared for the devil and his angels Matthew 25:41 section 71 but says the diatribe what then mean all those scriptures which promise a kingdom and threaten hell why is the word reward so often repeated in the scriptures as thou hast thy reward I am by exceeding great reward again who render unto every man according to his work and Paul Romans 2/6 who by patient continuance in well-doing seeks for eternal life and many of the same kind romans 2 6 and 7 it is answered by all these passages the consequence of reward is proved and nothing else but by no means the worthiness of merit seeing that those who do good do it not from a servile and mercenary principle in order to obtain eternal life but they seek eternal life that is they are in that way in which they shall come unto and find eternal life so that seeking is striving with desire and pursuing with ardent diligence that which always leads unto eternal life and the reason why it is declared in the scriptures that those things shall follow and take place after a good or bad life is that men might be instructed admonished awakened and terrified for as by the law is the knowledge of sin Romans 3:20 and an admonition of our impotency and as from that it cannot be inferred that we can do anything ourselves so by these promises and threats there is conveyed and admonition by which we are taught what will follow sin and that impotency made known by the law but there is not by them anything of worthiness ascribed unto our merit wherefore as the of the law are for instruction and illumination to teach us what we ought to do and also what we are not able to do so the words of reward while they signify what will be hereafter are for excitation and threatening by which the just are animated comforted and raised up to go forward the persevere and to conquer that they might not be wearied or disheartened either in doing good or in enduring evil as Paul exhorts his Corinthians saying be ye stedfast knowing that your labor is not in vain in the Lord force Corinthians 15:58 so also God supports Abraham saying I am thy exceeding great reward Genesis 15 1 just as in the same manner as you would console anyone by signifying to him that his works certainly pleased God which kind of consolation the scripture frequently uses nor is it a small consolation for anyone to know that he so pleases God that nothing but a good consequence can follow even though it seemed to him impossible section 72 to this point pertain all those words which are spoken concerning the hope and expectation that those things which we hope for will certainly come to pass for the pious do not hope because of these words themselves nor do they expect such things because they hope for them so also the wicked by the words of threatening and the future judgment are only terrified and cast down that they might cease and abstain from sin and not become proud secure and hardened in their sins but if reason should he return up her nose and say why does God will these things to be done by his words when by such words and nothing is effected and when the will can turn itself neither one-way nor the other well I see not do what he does without the word when he can do all things without the word for the will is of no more power and does no more with the word if the spirit to move within be wanting nor is it of less power nor does it do less without the word if the spirit be present seeing that all depends upon the power and operation of the Holy Spirit I answer thus it please if God not figure the spirit without the word but through the word that he might have us as workers together with him while we sound forth in the word without what he alone works by the breath of his spirit within wheresoever it pleased with him which nevertheless he could do without the word but such as not his will and who are we that we should inquire into the cause of the divine will it is enough for us to know that such is the will of God and it becomes us bridling the temerity of reason to reverence love and adore that will for Christ Matthew 11:25 and 26 gives no other reason why the gospel is hidden from the wise and revealed unto babes than this so it pleased the father in the same manner also he might nourish us without bread and indeed he has given a power which nourishes us without bread as Matthew 4:4 saith man does not live by bread alone but by the Word of God but yet it hath pleased him to nourish us by his spirit within by means of the bread and instead of the bread used without it is certain therefore that merit cannot be proved from the reward at least out of the scriptures and that moreover free will cannot be proved from merit much less such a free will as the diatribe set out to prove that is which of itself cannot will anything good and even if you grant merit and add to it moreover those usual similitudes and conclusions of reason such as it is commanded in vain the reward is promised in vain threatenings are denounced in vain if there be no free will all these I say if they prove anything prove this that free will can of itself do all things but if it cannot of itself do all things then that conclusion of reason still remains therefore the precepts are given in vain the promises are made in vain and the threatenings are denounced in vain thus the diatribe is perpetually arguing against itself as often as it attempts to argue against me for God alone by his Spirit works in us both merit and reward but he makes known and declares each by his external word to the whole world to the intent that his power and glory and our impotency and vileness might be proclaimed even among the wicked the unbelieving and the ignorant although those alone who fear god received these things into their heart and keep them faithfully the rest despised him section 73 it would be too tedious to repeat here each comparative passage which the diatribe enumerates out of the New Testament always tacking to them her own conclusions and vainly arguing that those things which are so said are to no purpose our superfluous are coldly useless our ridiculous are nothing at all if the will be not free and I have already repeatedly observed even two discussed that nothing whatever is affected by such arguments and that if anything be proved the whole of free will is proved and this is nothing less than overthrowing the diatribe altogether seeing that it set out to prove such a free will as cannot of itself too good but serve sin and then goes on to prove such a free will as can do all things thus throughout forgetting and not knowing itself it is mere cab Elysion where it makes these remarks by their fruits saith the Lord ye shall know them Matthew seven sixteen and twenty he calls works fruits and he calls them ours but they are not ours if all things are done by necessity I pray you are not those things most rightly called ours which we did not indeed make ourselves but which we received from others why should not those works be called ours which God has given unto us by his Spirit shall we then not call Christ ours because we did not make him but only received him again if we made all those things which are called ours therefore we made our own eyes we made our own hands we made our own feet unless you mean to say that our eyes our hands and our feet are not called our own Nate what have we that we did not receive sayeth Paul first Corinthians 4:7 shall we then say that those things are either not ours or else we made them ourselves but suppose they are called our fruits because we made them where then remains Grace and spirit nor does he say by their fruits which are in a certain small part their own ye shall know them this Cavill a sheen rather is ridiculous superfluous to no purpose coldly useless may absurd and detestable by which the holy words of God are defiled and profaned in the same way also is that saying of Christ upon the cross trifled with Father forgive them for they know not what they do Luke 23:34 here where some assertion might have been expected which should make for free will recourses again had two conclusions how much more rightly says the diatribe would he have excused them on this ground because they have not a free will nor can they if they willed it do otherwise no nor is that free will which cannot will anything good concerning which we are disputing proved by this conclusion either but that free will is proved by which it can do all things concerning which no one disputes to accept the Pelagians here where Christ openly saith they know not what they do does he not testify that they could not will good for how can you will that which you do not know you certainly cannot desire that of which you know nothing what more forcible can be advanced against free will than that it is such a thing of not that it not only cannot will good but cannot even know what evil it does and what good it does is there then any obscurity in this sane they know not what they do what is there remaining in the scriptures which may not upon authority of the diatribe declare for free will since this word of Christ is made to declare for it which is so clearly and so directly against it in the same easy way any one might affirm that this word declares for free will and the earth was without form and void Genesis 1 or this and God rested on the seventh day Genesis 2:2 or any word of the same kind then indeed the scriptures would be obscure and ambiguous nay would be nothing at all but to dare to make use of the scriptures in this way argues a mind that is in a signal manner a contemnor both of God and man and that deserves no forbearance whatever section 74 again the diatribe receives that word of John 1:12 to them gave he power to become the sons of God thus how can there be power given unto them to become the sons of God if there be no Liberty in our will this word also is a hammer that beats down free will as is nearly the whole of the Evangelist John and yet even this is brought forward in support of free will let us I pray you just look into this word John is not speaking concerning any work of man either great or small but concerning the very renewal and transformation of the old man who is the son of the devil into the new man who is a son of God this man is merely passive as the term is used nor does he do anything but is wholly made and John is speaking of being made he say if we are made the sons of God by a power given unto us from above not by the power of free will inherent in ourselves whereas our friend diatribe here concludes that free will is of so much power that it makes us the sons of God if not it is prepared to offer that the word of John is ridiculous and Stan's coldly useless but whoever so exalted free will as to sign on to it the power of making us the sons of God especially such a free will is cannot even will good which free will it is and that the diatribe has taken upon itself to establish but let this conclusion be gone after the rest which have been so often repeated by which nothing else is proved if anything be proved at all then that which the diatribe denies that free will can do all things the meaning of John is this that by the coming of Christ into the world his gospel by which grace was offered but not works required a full opportunity was given to all men of becoming the sons of God if they would believe but as did this willing and this believing on his name as free will never knew it nor thought of it before so much less could it then do it of its own power for how could reason then think that faith in Jesus as the Son of God and man was necessary when even at this day it could neither receive nor believe it though the whole creation should cry out together there is a certain person who is both God and man nay it is rather offended at such a saying as Paul affirms 1st Corinthians 1:17 231 so far is it from possibility that it should either will it or believe it John therefore is preaching not the power of free will that the riches of the kingdom of God offered to the world by the gospel and signifying at the same time how few there are who receive it that is from the enmity of the free will against it the power of which is nothing else than this Satan reigning over it and causing it to reject grace and the Spirit which fulfills the law so excellently do its endeavor and desire avail into the fulfilling of the law but we shall hereafter show more fully what a thunderbolt this passage of John is against the free will yet I am NOT a little astonished that passages which make so signally and so forcibly against free will are brought forward by the diatribe in support of free will whose stupidity is such that it makes no distinction whatever between the promises and the words of the law for it most ridiculously sets up free will by the words of the law and far more absurdly still confirms it by the words of the promise but how this absurdity is maybe immediately solved if it be but considered with what an unconcerned and contemptuous mind the diatribe is here disputing with whom it matters not whether grace stand or fall whether free will lie prostrate or sit in state if it can but by words of vanity serve the turn of tyrants to the odium of the cause section 75 after this it comes to Paul also the most determined enemy to free will and even he is dragged in to confirm free will or despises foul the riches of his goodness and patience and long-suffering not knowing that the goodness of God leadeth to repentance Romans 2:4 house is the diatribe can the despising of the commandment be imputed where there is not a free will how can God invite to repentance who is the author of in penitence how can the damnation be just where the judge compels unto evil doing I answer let the diatribe see to these questions itself what are they unto us the diatribe said according to that probable opinion that free will cannot will good and is of necessity compelled to serve sin how therefore can the despising of the commandment be charged on the will if it cannot will good and has no Liberty but is necessarily compelled to the service of sin how can God invite to repentance who is the author of the reason why it cannot repent while it leaves or does not leave grace to that which cannot of itself will good how can the damnation be just where the judge by taking away his aid compels the wicked man to be left in his wickedness who cannot have his own power do otherwise all these conclusions therefore recoil back upon the head of the diatribe or if they prove anything as I said they prove that free will can do all things which however is denied by the diatribe and by all thus these conclusions of reason torment the diatribe throughout all the passages of scripture seeing that it must appear ridiculous and coldly useless to enforce and exact with so much violence when there is no one to be found who can perform for the Apostles intent is by means of these threats to bring the impious and proud to a knowledge of themselves and of their impotency that he might prepare them for grace when humbled by the knowledge of sin and what need is there to speak of singly all those parts which are brought forward out of Paul seeing that they are only a collection of imperative or conditional passages or of those by which Paul exhorts Christians to the food of faith whereas the diatribe by its appended conclusions forms to itself a power of free will such and so great which can without grace through all things with Paul and his exportations prescribes Christians however are not led by free will but by the Spirit of God Romans 8:14 and to be led is not to lead but to be impelled as a saw or an ax is impelled by a carpenter and that no one might doubt whether or not Luther asserts things so absurd the diatribe recites his own words which indeed I acknowledge for I confess that that article of Wickliffe all things take place from necessity that is from the immutable will of God and our will is not compelled indeed but it cannot of itself do good was falsely condemned by the Council of Constance or that conspiracy or cabal rather nay the diatribe itself defends the same together with me while it asserts that free will cannot by its own power will anything good and that it of necessity serves sin although in furnishing this defense it all the wild designs the direct contrary suffice it to have spoken thus in reply to the first part of the diatribe in which it has endeavored to establish free will let us now consider the latter part in which our arguments are refuted that is those by which free will is utterly overthrown here you will see what the smoke of man can do against the thunder and lightning of God end of section 75

IAM by and for the Community: The CIFER Initiative
okay so it's like it's one o'clock restarted I'll share with you and so my name is Bill Thompson I'm the director identity access management practice at unicom and i'm joined with the couple colleagues teacher tingloff UCB and Billy doc for Washington multitude and we're happy to be here and share with you what's going on in a really cool initiative called cipher so the community I Danny finger for education and research my slides later if I start the beginning oh that's better ok so the quick overview of the presentation today I'm going to talk a little bit about what is slight burning that often ask that often teacher is going to give us some campus perspectives what you see be and also Penn State is going to be how they think about cyber what they're doing regards the project Billy ox going to talk through a little bit about kind of where we are generally with cypher and something that's going on in terms of organizational model sustainability and outputs a good cloud and then finally we'll talk about what else is going on and around the site for projects and I kind of stay tuned in to what's going on so what is safer so I think to understand this question you have to keep in mind kind of come to related things one is a little bit of history of where cypher came from and so I first started out a bunch of conversations about two years ago after Jason conference that was held back to back with a cam from your into middleware so basically a bunch of folks from the wider hi red open source middleware community came together and start discussing sort of the realization that you know we have a lot of success with a number of mature open source middleware components for higher education mainly cos Shibboleth and goober and boy wouldn't it be great if you know we could fill in the rest of the gaps we have something of a person registry and maybe some provisioning integration and maybe a console to kind of bring all those things together and some I am governance or configuration feature at the same time some of the commercial I am stats that folks running we're in flux there was energy consolidations and folks were particularly happy with the narrowing of options and we're looking for other solutions it's less kind of the base where cipher discussion started about two years ago at Jason Campos so the other way to look about cipher is you know Sega is a number of different things so one that's a vision for I am for education research I think probably a lot of us have been down the paths with some commercial products that aren't really built or suited for higher education and I have to kind of pain in scarves for delay mocoso so one of the things that I cipher is particularly focused on is building out and I am architecture that specific for educational researcher ciphers and architecture for how to do I am it's also a collaboration among institutions folks and projects it's a set of modular open stress components spying for our education and securing community of practice I'm going to talk a little bit about each each one of these a little bit more about the vision you know and that you have the privilege of working with Aurra Bob Morgan during the beginnings of this safer initiative and one of the during one of the conversations that we've had an email threads about what safer is Bob said the staff of the lives tonight and I thought it really kind of captured at least for me le3 personally but I think for the project you know why we get excited I am right say about this technology and I think this was a really nice way to say it and you know it's not just about Federation time was about to blow the website I think it really does apply to I am generally it really is about it enabling is high buy-in collaborations across thousands of disciplines people having the kind of impact you know both working at our local institutions and it really didn't have folks wanna you know be able to collaborate the folks and find the kind of value that we really like to see on campus regarding these current systems so so hence agreement on not just the architecture but if Ashley's authorization management application integrations are really at that that idea of an overall community of practice round add a nexus 5 reprieve for higher education so let's turn off an architecture so you're probably familiar with this diagram that came out of internet to middleware community it's got a canonical high level architecture for our day in excess management's we would like a modular cost-effective capable and evolving architecture so maybe we've got cash deployed and you've got shipped deployed or maybe you've got both the point that's for me very popular in common and so we will have some of this diagram covered already you may have Cooper deployed or maybe you're evaluating grouper and that coverage with another in part of this diagram if you've got and then maybe you're looking at open registry or CPR right so we like to have a purpose in vegetative cover stress this diagram so so really that's kind of where this whole cipher vision really would like to be is providing a full and open source set of components that can fully implement by gaining access management architecture so these are some of the components again when I saw Federation these are mature widely deployed components you don't have these employed we should go and deploy for groups and authorization hoovering and quiet daniel management are there these are ready for production deployment lots of folks have these deployed not as widely deployed as Kazon ship but i think that the next couple released of these we're going to see their adoption less on the maturity scale is open registry and CPR these are relatively do projects but certainly are ready for evaluation and adoption a couple other things that are interesting about the you know progress in cipher generally so far and kind of calm up way is that you see be that Peters going to talk about a little bit as chosen over the registry to build their book open registry and also conversations around identity match building that for not only open registry GPRS one of other key components to this idea of making these these components work well together and I think that's one of the key things and safer has been able to deliver so far so mentioned ciphers and collaboration you know the components of the projects across organizations Imperial while in your tattoo across projects individuals and institutions so this is a sampling of some of the organizations and individuals and institutions that have been involved and say for initiative so far these are i'm sure i'm missing some folks here but these are taken from internet to Winky there's a focus on participant just paying the safer conversation so far in ciphers and community of practice as I said you know its meetings like this its conferences report folks come together that are working i gaining access management higher education working with these individual components working together to make them work together and to fill in the gaps okay so that was a quick quick and show it to safer and let me turn it over to the teacher to Talk About You CBN estate let me start by just asking for our show penance how many of you forgot HYFR before the kinkos compound and I'd like I curious to know do you think of cipher more as pirated software development where an organization is taking resources money from you hundred ounces to actually build software or an opportunity where if you build stuff on your campus you might contribute it to something or do you just don't really know what safer is that's why you're here I just come trying to go set so people's impressions are deciphered Calgary how are interacting with community of people already know general impressions I think it's a pooling of resources you can't go everything ourselves the fluid resources excellent well I'm glad to hear that because we get feedback from people this is one of the main avenues that we get feedback form the sector organization group it's if it's not officially formed yes we don't have an official forum about that from bill but we do have a group of people strategy organization can use been meeting now for over a year and when we come to these conferences we have to roll with a what they know about cycle we can think about cyber it's interesting to get that perspective and it is on evolving as an effort and it is precisely as bill mentioned earlier Bill Thompson that is that a number of us felt like we're so close to an open source suite of solutions in higher end but we're not quite there and if we pull all these horses maybe we'll get there a little faster not every campus has a project dollars that they can spend at the same time the work Lee and hence date are two campuses that did in fact have some project dollars that they were spending on and I was it there's a kind of difference where on super Penn State the central person registry was a project that started long before or cipher and have been conceived on Renee show me who couldn't be at the conversating asked me to present these slides on her behalf has been working really really hard at Penn State to build a person registry that meets the needs of Penn State although she's always done so with the intent of making it available to other campuses in the inner future how she might do that was something she wasn't grabbin with because it was really a focus on how do we build something that most of Penn State so she pulled together stakeholders from all across campuses did a very very in depth requirements gathering exercise on took all the stuff to see a seat back a day or two thousand eight asked for resources which were granted and she's the rec another project ever since so from October of 2010 until March of 2012 a lot of work was on development and give me everything established they provide the registry service on the Penn State campus from last spring was it really the time after sigh pregant launch of the initiative where the fact that there was so much energy around sharing resources I think that prompted Renee and her team of developers to move a lot fashion thing otherwise would to make that code available under an open source license but other campuses could start experimenting with it see that work for them so with the cyber initiative one of the things that it did do was help respecting people with me significant investments on their campus to share their investments campuses that may not have happened otherwise so CPR code is now available you can you can download and play with it although it's not actually in production at Penn State yet and that supposed to happen over the summer and they still have a bunch of our plan in the phone to build more you I around it and so this is a time actually when if you're interested in influence with shape of the project and where I got it you can do that on there's another raesha project Vulcan registry which is an incubation project here it will Imperial only jacek and last spring there was a lot of effort put into evaluating this different nursery solutions and different campuses on there was a big conversation changes pick one registry or support both of them as site for initiatives and it was agreed that we should support both significant others have gone into both and both will be evaluated hired community at least in the initial phases in terms of talking about Berkeley UCSF my current position as we getting a identity management efforts for both campuses and we had invested in homegrown and commercial solutions for getting management in both places on the Berkeley campus we have this Lacey per lap that we call the skin code it does the identity match in auditioning for user information we stick all that data into LF we don't have a quick vote registry method a database of the form our poor person data and we decided that that would be useful for us to have right now information from our directory kits things with database life as well to campuses neither database interface but we have a kind of backwards and we want to they want to actually build a registry and make that assistant record for our corporate profile data and export would have lead to to our directory and downstream applications UCSF has a mainframe based identity national registry implementation that we need to retire when the iMini retires about three years so on working together we evaluated Penn State CPR and open registry decided for us they only mission project made more sense and um this is a situation where unlike Penn State we have been working on this for three years we haven't made a significant investment the turnover and say hey West entire community if you want you to some can we're starting to make investment now but we want to do that in a project in a way that other texts will hopefully benefit and when our researchers run out hopefully another campus come in and say okay we'll take over from here but we have a community project in a community codebase so we're all working from together so this is just a diagram that shows our next generation architecture proposed for you super and UCSF and so you can see identity by should call them they're from way our systems and record and then we have a registry that we're going to build out and building identity match engine and i'll be presenting that with preventive calling our team to one morning at ten and then for open registry we've decided a contract with the unicorn to do some development work to green open registry which was a community incubation project then deployed at rutgers a lot of custom code at Rutgers and hasn't brought back into the community to hopefully assess what who we actually bring back into the community look and we build it will make it a tool that other campuses will not start using mark so I think that's all safe and I'll turn over to Billy off talk more about the organizational business model thanks dear so I'm Billy och I'm at the University of Washington I'm also currently the chair the quali rice board quali rice has an identity and access management component to its framework called Kim was all in the slides earlier I was at that meeting two years ago that bill was mentioning at the JC conference and I met with some of the board members of JC and some of the board numbers from internet to projects and myself and earring daughter who some of you may remember a very active Jason community number we all got together and we just sort of asked ourselves you know why are we building colleagues identity and access management stuff in our own silos you know what would it look like if we come together we collaborate and coordinate our activities NAT really started this whole process of trying to figure out what would that look like what does it mean so we are actively working on defining what an organizational structure is as Deidre was mentioning there's been a strategy and organizations sub-team over that's been working on this I've been trying to help Shepherd a new charter for this this project and it's going to take the form of a consortium a consortium of multiple communities coming together to work on that and so I'm going to share with you some of the structure for that here in a second I think the good news is is that we're not starting from scratch there was a lot of great code out there already in production Kaz and shouldn't grouper in particular in quality Kim as I mentioned and the quality community is very interested in this because we have some of the systems of record you know the quality student system that we're building in the quality HR system so that would those be very much a system of record for identities as well and and we know that there have been early adopters in evaluations have gone on open registry and CPR as you as you just heard about in CPR in penn state's contributing that out in the open is a wonderful thing and the quality community is several of our members are interested in helping Penn State to build a community around that code base and so we're talking about helping them to grow the CPR there's in addition to that strategy and organization of team that I mentioned there's been other work stream teams that have formed from our various communities that have been meeting for the last couple of years to talk about what is the gaps in our solution set creating that comprehensive yet modular set of identity and access management stuff so a lot of good stuff as good as gone on and I'll talk about some of those gaps in just a second here still work to be done so here here are the gaps the the teams that we organized we organized around a couple of major areas or what we call work strings so there was an identity registry work stream an Access Management work stream authentication work stream provisioning and integration and this very ambiguously defined thing that we call it Identity and Access Management Council so I'll talk a little bit more about that in just a second but each of these work stream teams have been meeting and evaluating the existing tools that are out there already but we're still coming up there are things that we need to work on so here are some of the gaps I'm not going to read off each of these bullet points but a lot of good work that's been going on in that area some of this is actually coding and building software some of this is is also just creating good documentation and what we're calling cookbooks you know it's it's it's how do we do the actual provisioning and implementing an integration of this software together so it's actually helping to deploy a certain amount of training and support capabilities around this as well and each of our communities have our own ways of sort of supporting you know that various software out there it's created a variety of different wiki's and email distribution lists and things like that you know part of what we're talking about is trying to help create a knowledge base you know bringing those various community contributions together so that makes it easy to find and get the information and get the software the tools that you're looking for right so that's part of what we're also talking about memory I apologize for the blurriness of this the slide the shadow on this to represent very well on the screen but really the the concept here is what we're calling an alignment concept it's aligning our communities it's aligning our software and coordinating across these different community projects to build out that comprehensive and modular set of components also it's a largely a new business model it's a funding campaign and so we're trying to drive more revenue coming into all of our community projects and so by promoting cross promotion and cross marketing in all of our communities we hope to drive adoption and we hope to draw new investments into this indeed all of these upwards and if we are in most cases it's modifying or supporting the existing software out there but in some cases we may need be building new modules or components as well so if necessary we may need to band together to work on and build some new open source software but as I just mentioned a second ago it's really to try to create a community support and a knowledge base that's what it's very full-featured and easy to use so if we if we do these things we really do believe that we can help ease the implementation of all this on our campuses and I realized that the identity and access management is one of the most difficult challenging information management things that we can do in our organizations because it touches just about every system out there right so we need a lot of support in helping with those those problems of course we're doing this together as a higher ed in research communities and so it's by higher edge for higher red and it's tailored to our specific needs as Deidre mentioned part of what launched this cipher discussions was that there are some commercial vendors out there that we're offering solutions that was challenging for a lot of universities that are feeling like they're being forced to upgrade forced new fees you know supporting the software out there and so certainly making this all open source and available it's one of the main goals so if you want to get involved we're trying to make this as inclusive as possible both large schools and small schools and also appeal to other commercial affiliates and interests so I'll talk in just a second about this tiered support model part of my desk excuse me tiran participation model based on the size of your institution and we're looking for this to be I call it sort of a kickstarter funding campaign where we're asking for participation for a certain duration but it's not necessarily your typical membership fees ongoing basis you know that a lot of our community efforts are the contribution comes in so this is a direct participation with some in-kind FTE or cash participation so this is the three-tiered model and it's based on a FTE student enrolled FTE counts for your institution so that top level of supporters you know one dollar per enrolled student again this is sort of a campaign over a two-year period in font we're looking for investment or contribution over sort of that to two years at the next level it's a two dollar per roll student and the principal level into the five dollar per FTE student and roll and we know that some of your institutions may have sort of abnormal enrollment counts like some Community College State Community College system's make up large accounts of enrollment so we put various caps at each of these levels for those those kinds of situations so we again it's an inclusive model we're trying to appeal to large and small both either cash or in-kind contributions and we're still working out the specific details in the Charter as far as the membership into the board operations since but you see that there there's incentives of either elected or appointed board representatives to the consortium that that's being reflected here on the screen I'm also so this is you know driving new investment for a surge funding you know for you know concentrating on filling some of our caps we do realize that once we're through with that there needs to be some level of sustaining button is the any of the code or any of the knowledge base that that's created will need some level of ongoing support and sustainability we are looking at various options for sustaining this going forward we are intrigued by the co-operative support model that Unicom provides forecast supports and sustaining up cows it may be expanding that across some of the other projects there's the thought of maybe offering some type of certification mark for various commercial affiliates or other interested parties that want to use sort of the cypher brand or logo and be certified as as being the sustainer of this we do feel that the commercial affiliates in particular will play an apartment important part in role in sustaining was moving forward and we also realize it in the Kickstarter philosophy or model participation comes with some type of incentive or reward and so here's some possible incentive structure reward structure at the different levels obviously everything that we were doing is open and freely available in terms of the the software and the knowledge that's being created so we are looking you know to like I said create that knowledge base to make it available to anybody out there regardless of Club just participation we have sort of talked about the idea maybe an individual participation if students faculty staff members wanted to contribute you know fifteen dollars you get a psyker t-shirt you know that's sort of the philosophy of a Kickstarter model right so that that might be a part of this participation long but then what kind of rewards or incentives might be of interest to institutions that are participating is something that we're working on trying to design and document here so there is a concept of maybe providing free conference passes to annual identity summit events there's this concept of what I'm calling a readiness assessment which may not be the best term but I would maybe it's more of an environment assessment of what is your institution look like today in terms of how you're implementing Identity and Access Management solutions and you know in terms of cyber solutions how do they correlate or correspond to possible strategies that you might want to consider so there's maybe some type of contribution or reward for that and then we've even talked about for folks that are making significant investments into this there would be the concept of cipher experts being able to be on site for a day or two to help you get started get off on the right path on actually implementing cyber solutions in your institution so I mean if anybody has sort of ideas of other types of reward incentive structures that might be attractive to your institutions I'd be very interested in talking to you further about that so that I can help shape the future of this and make a cordon off so let me talk a little bit about the proposed governance of this new consortium I'm going to start at the bottom and work up so at the bottom are all those existing projects including the projects from this Community the Imperial community has an open reg in particular my community that I'm actively involved with in the quality communities is very interested in supporting this we also anticipate that internet to grouper and probably the Shibboleth consortium themselves would be the core of these cipher align projects at the bottom we don't we're not trying to change your governance structure of these existing projects we are just trying to help support them in different ways and one of the ways of supporting that is is help with participation on what were falling these work stream committees and that is working to do some of that fit gap analysis like you saw on an earlier slide its work to try to coordinate our roadmaps across our different community efforts we also put strongly sorry we also anticipate a crossed work stream coordination committee in this would also have sort of a lightweight consortium operations type of function with a program director technical director and a coordinating committee that is helping to set these strategic directions helping to direct the contributions to the existing projects and then a the board of directors consortium board and it would be representatives based on the different tiered participation levels and principal members in particular having appointed seats there i should say the existing cipher aligned projects having appointed seats and then there would be elected membership in the different tiers as well and so similar to the Shibboleth consortium there would be a consortium operator that would be the legal entity under which all of this is working and we're not talking about creating yet another new nonprofit foundation entity for cyber we are you know working to create a consortium that can operate within one of the community in nonprofit entities today internet2 is already indicated that they're willing to accept the consortium operation role for this that's so what we're currently working on as I mentioned earlier i'm working to try to finalize the consortium charter it's gone through a couple of rounds of legal review with internet to lawyers and some quality of lawyers we will be looking for whoever the initial principal members are they want to participate in this will be working to form an initial consortium board you get up and operating again internet to providing that consortium operations to give us a home the quality community has already gotten some preliminary pledges from several of our members and that is adding up to roughly about 500,000 per year for the two years so about a million dollars been new investments coming in towards cipher cause and I mentioned earlier the Penn State CPR registry we're looking to help grow the community around that so they're looking to contribute that into the quality community and then we can help sustain that move it forward as well and Deidre and I met with the appeal board yesterday and we talked about what would an imperial principal member agreement looked like and participation in to this Iker consortium and so the board is has been presented the the draft charter and the template that I created for qwali participation there they're looking at that reviewing at and considering what the Epirus participation would look like we would then form or we would appoint the program director and technical director and form that cross Coordination Committee in fact we just two weeks ago started up a coordination committee with various representatives to try to do some cross road map planning so we would anticipate continuing on with that group and we are also actively looking for volunteers to join the workstream committees that are out there today so if you have any interest especially in particular in one of those work streams again an identity registry and access management and authentication work stream provisioning an integration work stream and that to mean to find your envision that identity and access management console work stream so please seek us out if you have interest in participating in that and I just mentioned we talked to the Imperial board about becoming a principle number I would anticipate that we would go out to like I said Internet to group or should look communities and things like that and ask them to participate in mrs. role you want to show you a hand it back over you or you want me to finish it out organic okay so i just mentioned if you want to get involved on the workstream committees that would be great we do need help and just adoption of the solutions that are already there so obviously the more that you participate in working with open reg or implementing cast and your communities you're helping to you know participate in sight or whether you sort of realize it or not but we do need help in involving the overall architecture of the overall solution space continuing to build out the various components and filling in the gaps there's in addition to sort of the workstream committees you know I think the development of furthering the conference event types of activities and participating in online webinars and events there's all kinds of opportunities for people to get connected and involved in contributing in a community of practice and some flavor if you're building new things if you know out there we'd be very interested in hearing about that there's like I said it's a very complex space that we're operating in here and we know that folks have built various bits and pieces on their own that might be a worthy for consideration to be contributed into the greater Clause so we'd like to know more about what it is at your building and how you've been building it at the University of Washington we have created our own person registry we've rolled our own we've also created our own access management tool set we've also created this data governance type of framework for creating roles and permissions and things like that so we're actively thinking about maybe how we can contribute some of those different bits and pieces of good thinking of what we built to build out the cipher of solutions together okay so lots of good stuff going on here this week I think we bill actually total it all up if you look at the program agenda there's over 18 sessions that are identity and access management related which is really what up cypher is all about right there's an identity I'm not sure it's absolutely employee I yeah there's the Internet to identity access management online webinar series that you can get subscribed to which is monthly webinar there's a fall identity event being planned in San Jose that I played the second week in november yep november 11 through 15 too so keep that on your radar and block off your schedule sign up on our mailing lists to stay tuned to cipher news and events and check out our wiki space for what's being what's going on right now and think get it get a sense for the participation that you might be able to bring and this is a partial list of the various things going on here this week no and that's our story the ciphered journey has been an interesting journey to be acting as sort of an official thing in a very informal way and it's but it's been a very exciting to see the bottom-up community support from our various communities coming together and try to tackle this people big problem together questions yes it always curious to me was it the acronym first or the title first we've had some fun china at the day one is the the original acronym was OS IDM for a ESO open-source identity management for i read that was bold too long I think that cipher the acronym I think Ben may be helped with this may be a variant of fiber that in some of the things that he's done in the past so some of you may remember come to practice pretty much like this but some more meetings eventually it was called Viper and assume any time you ever trying to mean something with 10 people vs. kidding it's a horrible thing I wouldn't do it but we have one call or weird expression somebody said why don't they just go back to fight road is the name and that I think was actually I request Paul maybe suggested why don't we change I think technically me V from that perspective repack and wait a second yeah I think you're right technically speaking the acronym came first by a couple of seconds coordinate nobody like that the name I came up with a universe IAM university I a I University on this how does this relate or integrate or desert at all this project likes a little Sun or they're going after browser basting but again if you have emails if you have email to this even perhaps or something how do they all integrate their do you have any so the question is is Mozilla persona is the project and how is it related to so I don't know that particular project and you can't really comment as to the goals and jeopardise of how it might be laid here but i would say that we do see an ecosystem being built around the cipher solution set and if you think of the cipher solution said it being sort of the enterprise identity and access management capability within our institutions there's the need to support a lot of other ancillary vendor products and various other tool sets out there in the market so we anticipate a large set of connectors the doctors plug in whatever you want to call them to be able to interoperate with a lot of other industry solutions that are out there right so I have both communities find out about each other in collaboration or its you're both in development stage so yeah I think um we can do our best to reach out to them let us know we're about we're being very public about what we're doing already I don't think they're running in droves to learn more about what we're doing cuz i know i don't think they care that much to be honest um well I think I unwashed got them no I missed a padiddle not on you guys there's open open source I get any management initiatives outside of higher ed and to the extent that we can cross pollinate and learn more about way each other's doing I think it's extremely helpful it's also really good I mean it's hard enough just to do it right now also something like the most in a browser into your persona how applicable that is in a hired environment right now how readily if that would be a job I think that's a bit of a challenge I mean most campuses at this point have deployed calves worship or commercial product and a cannabis to make a shift to a new authentication solution whether it's using OAuth or using Mozilla it's a major transition and I mean campuses are more likely to say I'm good with cass and let me see how like I'm kind of plug in some gaps with open source solutions and I want to like revamp and change my whole authentication approach so I guess it's same with us it's like I'm interested in what they're doing but it's more with my time to try to build a registry solution taxes not adopt and to figure out how to start using photo so to authentication approach does that make sense yeah yeah if I can stick a quick statically you know I think the way I will do something for some it's the same way to something which is ciphers about providing the infrastructure for identity management intern we may need to leverage tinsley social identity or parental access or whatever and that's sort of a use case that intersects with psycho a sleeper structure but that kind of makes something like this not like this so it's possible that some type of component will need to support for some hands on my what a persona never goes that safely so I happy to talk more we're out of time for this session but I'm happy to talk more with anybody that thinks there may be some connection that makes sense here and you can explore that further so thanks everybody

Endure and Survive | The Last of Us Ep 5 Reaction | EMOTIONAL WRECK!!!
wet it up y'all this is Denzel be red sign on with you guys the girls so this is going to be episode 5 of The Last of Us hopefully that my video will go on without any copyright strikes on YouTube but anywho if it does this is my reaction towards it I've seen reviews on it and I heard that it was emotional gripping and I see the two brothers in here Sam and Henry now listen y'all in the game it really messed me up so as I'm watching this episode right now let's see if it's really going to give you a really emotional state if it does you'll find out but less talking and more reactions y'all ready cool action there goes Henry and Sam listen man I'm letting y'all know if they you know heard him in a certain way oh my God and I hope you see more backstory of these two brothers don't you like a soccer mom like I could see the guy with the gun that looked like a general could be in charge of the group but I don't see her and like she can be just someone on the side you know Perry I used to be putting them on trial no we are not really putting them on trial when you're done or in the bodies it's faster she made it like a soccer mom but she's a cold-hearted player once Sam and Henry so bad foreign thing Super Saiyan is he deaf in this TV show because he can speak in the game oh so listen y'all I'm letting y'all know playing the video game looking to see this is I am not ready if uh listen all right just just keep on reacting let's let's keep going oh make him feel inspired such a cute moment is it that truck ah that's how he saw a Joel okay you have to worry about what to say we don't want to hurt you you want to help you okay okay um I don't know what the next step is with something like this oh my God I'll help you because you just just put the gun down [ __ ] it's home now that's just the way he sounds he has an [ __ ] voice Helen he's okay the thing is great dude okay can I sit up [Laughter] you know it's genius that they gave him the thing to draw with to you know point out what he's going to do next tunnels just like in the game Subway no just not on the surface veggie drove them underground 15 years ago and never let them come back up so so you want us if they're down there 15 years ago and you know when they get infected a long time for people so far the TV show is so great we're loving every episode I I think it's this way you think thank you wow and you know what the sad thing is the kids were infected during this time and this is a kid's preschool room in the video games the same translated way too so I heard about playing you could imagine people went underground after they were the comic book for Ellie no way that's a reference I love the yeast gang reference really buy one of them comics why are you talking I know where you are your mom let her do all this bad mother [ __ ] no no no no oh oh at the sniper dude that's a sniper do for the game in that house yep yep Yep this is just like the game this is exactly like the game that's that's the dude that you got to go through house the house and try to get to him close yep I see you I was insane too you saw that the same sound effects too it's an old fart we're here for another hour and a game of just a young random that's all you have to do now like a dude I don't want to hurt oh I guess she got hurt ah shoot this is the and and after this this is when a truck is supposed to show up yeah there's a truck there at the truck foreign [Music] they die all the time they're not not like that lady [Music] oh oh shoot yo the bloater the freaking bloater let's go oh look at that oh look at that [Applause] thank you oh good it looks back come on that's it bro that's it oh yo oh that is terrifying oh God oh this is intense oh that is crazy y'all did that see Justice y'all did that Justice that was fire it's a good change but it worked out changed that was fire y'all know I'm not ready man oh my God ah I'll tell y'all I'm not ready man uh I'm not ready y'all I'm letting y'all know I am not ready for this I'm not ready uh [Music] yo man ah oh my God oh no I'm telling you I'm not ready for this y'all oh my God okay listen y'all oh my God foreign [Music] man oh my God listen I said I wasn't gonna do it I knew it was coming but uh God dang it man God I got anxieties right now I do the Pixar movies out ah that messed me up man I don't like that [Music] God man I don't told this it man I knew the part was coming but just seeing it again on live action that's too much I'm [Music] let's talk about it so uh episode five hard pill to swallow heart pill swallow this is gonna be two minutes of my thoughts um very accurate in every category very accurate meeting Henry and Sam and Joel and Ellie them teaming up very accurate what I love what he did in TV show that the baby brother is deaf you know instead of him talking interacting like he did in the game it was he was deaf which was a different thing but it worked out because it builds an emotional characterizations for him and I love the more character development between Sam and his baby brother and that his baby Brother Sam is looking up to Henry um as a here superhero stuff like that when he drew the red mask for his baby brother but he said he was scared about that world and everything he gave him such comfort and he's looking up to his brother older brother as a hero you know and then afterwards they team up with Joel and Ellie which was perfect and then going through the soccer bomb the lady who like a soccer mom um yeah uh who won Vengeance from Henry because Henry killed her brother as he was trying to escape for some medical things for Sam's cure or something like that you know so that made sense and everything um now let's get to the ending point of the TV show when Joel and Ellie and Henry and Sam they were at night time fall walking through the houses and stuff like that you know we saw the sniper scene now the sniper scene which we saw the game like the guy was like I say about I was like oh my God that's that was a test everything those right there maneuvering do the leaves all that stuff um but it turns out was an old man old man don't like he could hurt nobody but he says Joe asked him to give him the gun and everything instead in video game Joel Just stabs a guy because the guy attacked him and stuff like that but that's like that old man look innocent you know but who will hurt him the old man tried to shoot Joel so I was like it made sense to everything now Joe got the sniper just like the video game which was so accurate and perfect and then here comes the big giant truck that says run and the rebels and everything and then they looking for Henry and all this crazy nonsense and everything after Joe sniper the um guy in the truck just like in the game which is so perfect in truck cash in the house and everything and then she's and the lady told to Henry anybody can Revenge all that stuff that was great but the big big takeaway for me was the bloater that bloater when it came out the the trucks fell down to the sink and everything and then a big giant Wormhole all you see is a big a hole and a lot of affected people came out like roaches bro that seed was a test but it was like a whole Army and the crazy thing in that episode was it wasn't in the game but it was a six and five year old infected child that part was insane and it makes sense too because those are kids in the Pre-K um school and everything if they get bitten let's take it to the next level man and that wasn't testing everything and then afterwards they were eating all the bad guys and everything and Joel and and all the Ellie all them are caught in the middle between infected eating up all the folks and everything and when that bloater came out bro and then it ripped the head off the uh Rebel Soldier guy that part was crazy and intense because when it Blow they touched you in the video game y'all know the deal that thing just it just tears you apart and everything um and then we see you know um the the brothers gonna attack and everything I knew the part was coming I knew the part was coming everything and then Ellie stabbed the uh creature in the neck and stuff like that and then the lady who wanted revenge against Henry that kid came out nowhere it was satisfying because obviously I was never happy but I am happy to see an effective person attacking another bad guy the kid jumped on a lady and just scratched her face up and started eating her up that part was a test then Joel and then Escape now the part that I keep telling you guys you will see my reaction towards it you'll see it on video link on how I did in video game we know us Gamers know that um Sam gets infected him and Elliot is having this moment and conversation with Samus asking her are you scared what happens if you turn certain things would be the same thing just the same conversation like they had in a video game which was so perfect but um after that he in the game he doesn't show her that he's infected but in a TV show which I just watched he shows that he rolled up his leg Pan's leg and showed her that she was infected when I saw it I was like oh my God I'm not ready for this not ready for this because I know what's going to come because I hate seeing kids getting killed off and it breaks my heart when I see kids getting killed off in the um TV shows and stuff like that in movie Spirit just in general uh but then he was asking Ellie can you hold on to me I need love and everything can you be with me in the morning which was such a heartbreaking moment and she was like yes and then it's the next morning he's sitting up in bed and Ellie turns around he's like are you okay and the camera he just sits there and then she puts his hand on shoulder then girl he he turns and he started infected and he bursted the door and then his older brother like in the video game he experiences Samus attacking her and everything and then the cold-hearted part like and I can't can't describe it to you the video game is emotional and they made it more emotional on a TV show shot his baby brother in the head man that's that's devastating I don't care what listen that is the most devastated part imagine that was your brother or sister or whoever it is someone your loved one you have no choice but you have to snipe them in the head like that and his eight-year-old brother and then we know the deal just like in a video game Sam just shoots himself in the head and commits suicide man that both both parts in the video game and TV show well executed well executed hard to watch and hard to play through as well too but and then Joel and Ellie had to bury them and that's how the episode end like I told you I knew it was coming I said I wasn't going to cry the dog gone it did I cry I try not too bad blood this episode out of all episodes I thought it's going to suffer the video game curse but it did not so I will rate this episode five a five out of five stars superb executed differently in situations but it worked perfectly for the show five out of five emotional state the acting Sam the baby boy was so cute and Brilliant and the relationship between Henry and his brother man and a heartbreaking Devastator moment and the action scenes and the bloaters well done next episode now it's a few more that we gotta go through um with Ellie and Joel and everything which I know is coming up but this episode it's a hard heartbreaking man and stuff like that well there goes my reactions and thoughts about that ladies and gentlemen and ladies what are your thoughts gentlemen what are your thoughts comment below let me know nerdout talk about it also if you are new to this channel if you love what you have saw here hit

FORCED Removal From Homes Coming (GMS Austere Man)
I have breaking news you need to hear you need to share this everywhere shoutout to central banker world war 3 I will put his channel link in the description for bringing this to my attention go over there and show him love now let's watch the video and then we'll talk we are beginning a program today which will certainly grow into something larger and larger and that is a community contact tracing program we've done contact tracing all along that a contact is a person who's been exposed to someone that we document to have the kovat infection when we find someone who has a coded infection those people are immediately isolated but we also work with them to figure out who your contacts were but the purpose of this program is to bring on people we may bring on up to 50 or even more as the program grows and as we see the needs for it as we do more testing we will find more and more people who have kovat 19:00 and again will isolate every one of them and we will find every one of their contacts and we will make sure that they stay quarantined and we'll check in with them every day we're gonna do a more complete job and we're gonna do a more meticulous job of making it less and less possible for others in the county to run into someone with coded 19:00 infection it's not just our county there are gonna be thousands of people hired who will be these contact investigators throughout the state and this is occuring in many many other states as well perhaps all of the states in our country we will be giving intensive training these people identifying and finding context some of the people we find are going to have trouble being isolated for instance if they live in a home where there's only one bathroom and there are three or four other people living there and those people don't have kovat infection we're not going to be able to keep the person in that home every person who we're isolating for instance needs to have our own bathroom and so we'll be moving people like this into other kinds of housing that we have available so you heard what they said people they're going to if you have colvett and other people in your household do not if you cannot isolate properly they're just gonna take you up out of the house or if it's your child that has Kovac 19:00 they're gonna try to take your cut child and take them to God knows where possibly FEMA camps or something so he's saying this is about to start all over the country what's the video and listen and pay attention have a great night everybody ah thank you central banker for bringing that video to my attention now what do we know we know now why they staged tanks Humvees military equipment all over the country in large amounts we know why they recently moved FEMA coffins around the country again it's because of what is about to take place now they're rolling this out in California first you know how they do it if we don't go absolutely berserk about what they're doing in California they're gonna do it everywhere he says in that video it's coming to every state if someone has been diagnosed with kovat 19 they are coming to their house removing them from the home putting them in quarantine they're also going to be tracing down anyone that kovat 19 infected person has came into contact with and taking them to quarantine too no one should ever be allowed to unlawfully enter your home vaccinate you quarantine you take away your brother your sister your mother your father your child your spouse don't allow it if we don't stand up right now for California and demand that this stop it's gonna be everywhere next he said it's coming to every state go back rewind the video the California official said it is coming to every state they're gonna roll it out slowly and try to not make a big deal about it people are going to be disappearing we need to stand up right now

Nicolas Cage - Geoff's Indirect Father - Only Time With Craig Ferguson
je that that that is in fact awesome please welcome Nicholas Cage everybody Nicholas [Applause] [Music] [Applause] [Music] Cage welcome welcome nichas how are you I'm well thank you yeah don't worry about that it's awesome to be on your show oh don't I I in the in the true sense of the word not in the California sense really awesome awesome I don't know a some work to do before I go home after having a some dumb talk show to do to promote my movie a w s o m awesome yeah thank you for having me on the show what did you just rip up over yeah that was the questions to ask you what they do is they uh I don't know if you've seen the talk shows before what they do is they they put a list of questions and then they would like me to ask you them but I think you know I got I'm back basically this is much better this way it's better this way because that look if I need a list to ask a guy like you some questions then what am I but a journalist I I take that point that's we're having a normal conversation a normal conversation with I have to tell you you know uh you were in the Ghost Rider movie you're not going to bring a chupacabra no I don't have a chabra all right but I got I made this because I love that awesome awesome that is awesome that is in fact awesome wow look at that no did you really make that Craig well I didn't Jo Jo the props because it's but we we used a uh an old employee and uh uh someone who displeased me what technique did you use to uh well you know how uh molecules exist and they give the illusion of uh solidity well first I envisioned the molecules then I what and there it is you just transformed your uh colleague yeah it was because he was a very boring man can I hold that for one second yeah right wow look at that yeah look at that look at that the go yeah good isn't it it is good yeah me see what happens if you shake it what hi Craig hey yeah yeah yeah love it what was that that's Jeff Peterson over there it's my sidekick he uh he's a robot skeleton actually partially inspired by the movie a Ghost Rider which I enjoyed immensely with a hint of irony I no thank you know I I I I actually like the movie quite a bit myself I tell you something I'm we're going to go for two I'm you're going do second is going to be a new one I just made the deal today yes fantastic thank there you go in that case in that case I I wasn't going to do this but but in in that case I'd like you to accept this really yes you know what as a as long as you put it in the movie I don't know how I'm going to guarantee or promise you that but if you want to give it to me I know I'll put it in a place of honor in my home oh okay well I tell you what I'll give you that you can put it in a place of honor in your home if you put me in the second ghost rer yeah but I'm not the director who's the director well well they're the wonderful directors the team from Crank oh really n and Taylor they're they're fantastic they'll probably put me in it I think they would why not put him in the movie all right just a little bit just a little bit just like so if I go hey whoa look there's a skeleton on do that you are an accomplished actor from my understand you've done a lot of work first you were you were a film actor yeah it didn't really work out it didn't work out then you were a punk rocker yeah well I was a punk rock before that and then I was at the acting and then I worked on the DU sure which is not really acting but the uh see I had the same interest I love punk rock music I love the Sex Pistols I was I was friends with Johnny Ramon really he was one of my best friends I love the Ramon that was the one of the first albums I got was that the Ramon just the self-titled album in front of and he was a great guy we had a lot of laughs together and but actually punk rock and film acting I think go together if you because punk rock attitude in movies I think is what makes for interesting performances it makes for good actors if they have an ABS of vanity but but no no that's true I I I really believe that if if if actors are they can be as v as they like in in other places but once the camera starts in the movie they must forget that right well that's what Punk's all about isn't it's like I I don't care about what I look like you know and I like Larry King or something like that yeah TOS I want yeah but I but but it it that music holds up I mean it really I mean if you L the sex pistol today well GE is a friend of mine and the guitarist Steve Jones and the sex here yes I know say hi to him for he's a great guy did you ever do his radio show no and I wanted to we talked about it I'd is he still doing that well I think it's on the internet now but that counts yeah yeah absolutely it's all over the place yeah it is it's actually bigger than the radio station he was on before the Internet it's apparently worldwide this we it is true and Steve's good good friends with Linda Ramone Johnny's wife really yeah so they're It's a small world I I am getting a very strong sense that you are in fact much cooler than me I I don't know about that no that's assuming that I'm separate from you yeah oh molecules right right little Zen little molecules nice did you drop a lot of acid at one point I never made it to acid I never I never made it I think You' have been okay I don't know I I I was pretty sure I could get there on my own without any help well I I I did a about 30 35 times and a lot yeah it a lot and and and each time I thought this is truly awful I'm never doing it again and then I did it again and then you did do it again and then I did it again yeah I I uh it just doesn't seem like something I would enjoy very much I I don't want to lose complete control of my thinking if you know no or bubbls did that happen to you well you see I never took acid the way like the flower generation did it like they you know they'd sit around wearing dresses and by a stream and stuff I was like we've had 15

adrenaline Sports what about flying you ever fly an airplane now I understand you do that as well and I want to do that I just have a little trouble with the life insurance on that one luckily CBS don't give a rat's ass what happens to me I'm not getting for for my birthday they give me aviation fuel vouchers for the plane well they want the ratings to go on yeah they're like oh no you get up there enjoy yourself that's terrify well it's nice to feel love no it's good you think that they wouldn't allow you to fly and a not not when I'm about to do a movie and uh you know I remember once uh they made me sign a waiver that I would not race cars and it was the coolest thing I'd ever seen I thought maybe Steve McQueen got one of those I framed it I wish still kept still had it and framed it myself but yeah I I I used to love to race cars I I I turned off at Willow Springs on on turn nine hit the wall several times no no you don't want to do that yeah so I they told me to stop doing that you know I got something for you're a big advocate for uh marine life in the oceans right right I just did the shark diving in the Bahamas for shark weat do that now you I did do that once I now you were swimming with bull sharks those no no not bull uh Caribbean Caribbean uh reef sharks Caribbean Reef but there's bull shks all over the Bahamas as as well as tiger sharks uh the bull shark is the most dangerous shark of all the in freshwater and salt yeah I know there's a one in Australia that swam like 400 miles upstream or something guy in the nuts I went I I um I went um great white shark diving great white shark gon by South Africa Cooler Than Me no I don't know about that but I do know that that the the great white shark that I met was nothing like what you would imagine I think it was a female it was really well dare I say it it was a it was a sweet great white shark it just sort of looked at me it was curious and that was a great experience then I got out my friends went in the cage and then all hell broke loose the shark just went nuts and started ramming the cage and my friend was trying to get out of the cage and they wouldn't let him out he's like it's getting in my head it's getting in my head and at the end of the the the experience we went and had dinner together it was like his eyes were just dead his name was Norm go lightly and he says Nick I I I I just feel like I just I just came back from Nom because and he had a photograph I said well what did you see and he got it developed with one of those little instant cameras the the the Jaws were like wide open there was like shreds of Flesh all over the teeth right in his face it was it was a nightmare this is so awesome yeah but I didn't I didn't I didn't get to have that experience it is awesome in the true sense of the word AES the not in the California sense I thought that when I when the Sharks were the swimming around the Caribbean reef sharks are swimming around and I thought these animals are beautiful well they are they're beautiful and have that you forget when when animals are villainized to make them into monsters and stuff that they are Innocents they are innocent creatures they without guile they they eat and they make other sharks that's kind of what they do and they're beautiful they are spectacular yeah now I know you mentioned the chupacabra earlier I did yeah yeah shabra where you come out on that uh well I I haven't come out yet officially but I I well apparently the some guy in Texas caught one today yeah well like people say oh it's just a dog that has rabies and so it's not really a vampire dog it just has it's rabbit and it needs to drink blood and I said well isn't that doesn't that still make it a vampire makes it a Vampire Dog a vampire dog it's not a real vampire he doesn't have a cape I mean right he doesn't have a cape but he drinks blood and he's very scary looking and the lips go up and the fangs come out and the the fangs get elongated the chacar you want to put one of them in your ghost rider too have a che yeah yeah that I would love that on a motorcycle see I should go we should go and try to catch an actual chac Cabra I'm up for it I'm telling you I'll do it and then I'll just put it in the movie I'll do it I'll do it you and me let's go capture a chupacabra and dive with a white shark I'm up for it you rock my world Nicholas Cage [Applause] [Music] [Applause] [Music] everybody what did we learn on the should [Music] [Applause] night I got a note from the network saying I was standing too close to the camera they said it made my head look too big I think what they don't know is my head really is this big it has to be this big to match other areas of my body my feet and of course 99 everybody

HVAC Zoning Basics - Bypass Dampers and Dump Zones
Last week we did a video on zoning for residential homes. This week I wanted to touch on a little more technical side of the zoning setup. That’s coming up on Fox Family Heating and Air Conditioning. If this is your first time watching or channel, please click subscribe down below on the bottom right, and if you click that little bell next to it, you’ll be notified of all our videos as they come out. Some HVAC installers say you can’t truly setup a unitary ducted HVAC system like the ones the majority of us in the United Sates have setup in our homes. Remember, zoning is for homes who have two thermostats. One upstairs and one downstairs. They typically allow one HVAC system to heat or cool one zone or the other, but definitely not the whole house at one time. If you’re an HVAC technician, let me know in the comments down below how you like to set up bypasses and dump zones to get rid of the extra air zoning creates. I’m sure it’s a little different all around the world, and we’d love to hear about it! Trane and Carrier have some really nice setups when it comes to their variable speed systems and modulating dampers that open and close strategically allowing you to really dial in the rooms you want to condition and when. But buying one of those systems is no joke. Currently, I’d say only about 7% of the market are actually buying this high-end equipment. They really are advanced technology compared to the traditional zoning equipment Americans are used to in their homes today. But I’m sure this technology will be mainstream soon enough! Traditional zoning uses two thermostats. Those thermostats can be smart Wi-Fi stats or standard digital programmable stats. And those two stats talk to a main zone board at the furnace or air handler. That main zone board then tells the air handler when to come on, either in air conditioning or heating mode as well as which floor to have come on. Zoned systems are purposely designed to be about half a ton larger than the largest zone in the house. Last week’s example of a home with two floors, one at 1150 sq ft and one at 800 sq ft would be sized at 2.5 to 3 tons depending on insulation levels and other load characteristics. That large of a system system is capable of producing 1000 to 1200 cfms. That smaller 800 sq ft zone cools the bedrooms and bathrooms upstairs as well as the laundry room. But 1000 to 1200 cfms is way too big for 800 sq ft. So, what do we do with the extra air? We bleed it off to another area of the house. Now, we have a few choices as to where to disperse that extra air: • We can create a barometric bypass back to the return plenum or return grille. • We can create a bypass dump zone in another portion of the house. • Or my favorite, bypass the air to the other zone through dampers set up properly for this. Option #1 – A barometric bypass straight back to the return plenum. In my opinion, this is the worst way to get rid of the extra air because it sends it immediately back to the return through an 8 to 10” duct with a barometric damper that cracks open with the “extra” air pushing against it. The more “extra air” there is, the more the damper opens allowing air back to the return plenum. This superheats the return air in heating mode, and super cools the return air in cooling mode. How does that affect the system? In the heating mode, if we have 65-degree air initially entering the return side of the furnace or air handler, it goes through the furnace and gets heated up about 40 degrees to a supply air temperature of about 105 degrees, where that air exits the registers in each room. If one zone is open and the other closed, the extra air gets sent through an 8 to 12” inch duct immediately back to the return plenum and mixes with that 65-degree air, essentially raising the return air temperature to 70 to 75-degrees. This air then gets heated up to 115 degrees which now heats up the air in the return plenum to 80 to 90 degrees. On and on this goes, until the system has superheated the return air so high the high limit switch turns off the burners because the supply air is too hot. And that’s pretty hot because those high limits usually shut the burners off at 165 to 200 degrees. What does that mean the return air got to? 125 to 160 degrees! I see it all the time. The same thing happens to the evaporator coil when the cool supply air gets sent back to the return plenum and recycles over and over until that air gets so cool the evaporator coil eventually freezes and blocks the airflow, which causes even more problems. Option #2 – A dump zone In this scenario we send the extra air through a duct about 8 to 12” to a dump zone, or another section of the house. I’ve worked on crews that chose to dump the air into a living room, and others that dumped it into the foyer with a 25-foot ceiling! I’ll admit, that was pretty scary installing that one. Trusting those ceiling joist to hold me up as was I was cutting in to that 20x20 can was a little intimidating. I wasn’t the lead installer on those jobs. In fact, I was just a helper at that time. But what we eventually learned from those jobs was the air being dumped in that living area was making those rooms uncomfortably warm or cold depending on the season. Having learned our lesson, we started dumping that air to the end of the return duct to either a “wye” where the duct meets the can, or a collar cut into the return air can itself, at the ceiling. I like cutting it into the can because the cold or hot air gets to mix a little more with the return air before being drawn through the furnace or evaporator coil again. This way the superheating or supercooling doesn’t happen as fast or as easily. Option #3 – Bleed off to the other zone through dampers The option that we take at Fox Family is to bleed off the air to the other zone through a small gap left as the damper closes. See, we don’t let zone 1 or zone 2’s damper close all the way. And there are settings on the Honewell AR Dampers that meter the correct amount the installer decides. Referring back to the house that has 1150 and 800 sq ft zones. If the smaller zone is calling for cooling, the other 400 cfms is redirected to the bigger zone. This way, it won’t be dumped into one single room, but be distributed evenly throughout the larger zone through several registers. Great thing is, this air won’t overcool or overheat that unused zone, and at the same time allows the system’s static pressure to be regulated at a closer level to manufacturer specs, which will extend the life of the system. Ductless systems are becoming more and more popular in America. They’re great for zoning individual rooms one at a time. But for those of us who already have supply registers and ducts leading to every room in the house, zoning is still a complicated issue. Taking care of the HVAC system is the main priority for an HVAC installer, and there are some folks who will just hack it in, and other who try and do it right. As always, I would love to hear your strategies and comments about how you incorporate zoning into a house. All of us are a little different because we work in different parts of the world. So, let me hear about it down below in the comments section. If this is your first time watching or channel, please click subscribe down below on the bottom right, and if you click that little bell next to it, you’ll be notified of all our videos as they come out. Thanks so much for watching, and we’ll see you on the next video!

Standing Armies
standing armies in the Declaration of Independence Thomas Jefferson condemned King George for keeping standing armies in the colonies in peacetime writing during the Revolutionary War Jefferson understood that militaries were sometimes necessary to defend against foreign invasions but Britain's crime was in maintaining a standing army a standing army is a Perpetual military force consisting of professional salaried soldiers for most of History standing armies were unique to Empires after the fall of Rome Western Europe went Centuries with outstanding armies in 1776 the British army was less than a century old after the Seven Years War ended in 1763 Britain had decided to maintain a military presence in North America and since the Army protected the colonists Britain thought colonists should pay for it two Americans This was essentially a protection racket imagine Britain as the mafia in the colonies as neighborhood businesses in protection rackets Mobsters promise protection against robbery and vandalism for a fee but if anybody refuses to pay the Mobsters ransacked the store to extort payment from the owner this is how colonists saw the British military Boston was like the business owner who refused to be extorted so Britain used its military to make an example of the city occupying soldiers killed civilians forced their way into private homes and blocked Commerce this is the context for James Madison's statement that the means of defense against foreign danger have been always the instruments of tyranny at home Costa Ricans learned this lesson in the 20th century upon ousting their military-backed Communist Regime in 1948 they constitutionally abolished standing armies and have since enjoyed the safest and most politically stable country in Central America yet the United States controls the world's most powerful military so what changed in 1786 Revolutionary War veteran Daniel Shays led an armed protest against oppressive taxes the Articles of Confederation left the federal government powerless against the Rebellion which was suppressed by state militias Shea's Rebellion provided the impetus for the Constitutional Convention Madison warned that armies maintained under the pretext of Defending invariably Enslaved the people but Alexander Hamilton's Federalists were more afraid of insurrection the new constitution struck a compromise Congress could raise and fund an army for two years Hamilton defended the compromise by pointing to the West he endorsed is keeping a permanent core in the pay of the government garrisoned on the Western frontier a standing army was the tool that made imperialism possible but it was in the west that the American Empire was born [Music]

DIY Decorative Gable Trim - Home Improvement
so today's video is going to be a little bit different I started not to do a video on this because it's not that kind but I'm gonna be adding a decorative gable in piece to the front of my house just kind of give it some curb appeal and just kind of dress the house up a little bit but I had to figure out the pitch of my roof and the way that I did that is I took some cardboard up a ladder and I just kind of held it in place and trace behind it there was enough room there to get a pencil in to kind of get some long enough marks to where I could bring it back in the shop and then actually draw these lines longer now if this is the pitch of my roof I need to come down at least around 28 inches that's the top of that vent that's in that gable so this in this area is where I want the majority of that wood structure so I just basically traced it out like I said I cut it out with a pair of scissors I'm gonna be using some old fence panel boards from leftover from the picket fence video that you guys watched if you haven't seen it I'll put a card up and also I'll link in the description so you can go back and check in or catch up on that stuff but these are some leftover panels these are like a dollar and fifty cents apiece so they're relatively cheap and you can get them at most home stores and all of this will be held together by the structure that is inside of here it all makes sense as we as we go so let's get to it the first thing that I need to do is cut one of these boards to the appropriate angle that I found with the template I'm just lining the template up the edge of the board and striking a mark here and that's where I'll make my first cut this is about a 20 degree angle and then the other board that will meet this one is going to be at a 90 degree so just one at the 20 degree angle now the lower side of this angled cut is gonna be lined at the top of the template and then the other board is going to be slid up into place to the top of the longest part of the angled board and I'll just put this together with a couple of Brad nails I just kind of keep everything nice and tight keeping the template in place so I'll make sure I'm getting the right shape here and this is just to kind of keep everything together while I build it now the next piece that I could is going to be for the base or the bottom part that's gonna hold the previous two boards you saw in place now I'm just roughly tacking this in place with some Brad nails gonna fix and take it back off I just want to make sure this is gonna hold pretty good but I'm going to cut a decorative piece in this lower board that I just installed right now I'm just trying to figure out the design that I want and I lay another board in there and just kind of trace out you know where the cuts are gonna be made and this is gonna give me a pretty good idea of you know where this board is gonna sit and also give me a good idea on exactly where the other two boards in addition to this one is gonna fit into place so you can see my marks I've got to cut those I'm gonna do that off camera and then we'll come back with this piece and install it in just a little bit but first I went ahead and took that off and here I've got a few nails finished nails and a wooden ruler yardstick to make my curve and just cutting up cutting that at the bandsaw just kind of give some visual interest you know for the whole I guess overall structure this is gonna be the only piece that's curved so I'm just adding a little bit of visual interest so I'm gonna tack this back into place and then the piece that I just cut but right before I did that this piece here I can now install that one drilled a couple of pocket holes on the back side so you can't see it from the ground you're looking up at it there I'd start it with a couple of pocket holes screws and now I'm just gonna tap this back into the center where it should go use some Brad nails to hold it in place and I'm just using my speed square there just to give me a reference of where the edge of the board is as I mentioned I'm just figuring this out as I go so I've got another board here in place where I think I want the estimates gonna make a few marks and then take it to the band saw and cut it actually went ahead and made to drill some pocket holes so I can attach it to the lower board and that's pretty much it this thing is pretty simple so there's really no design here I just kind of built it as I went but that's the finished piece now I can sand it stain it and get ready to install it okay so I'm getting ready to go hang this gable piece that I made and I've got to climb a ladder I've got a 20-foot extension ladder of course I won't be 20 feet in the air but nonetheless I've got to climb the ladder up to the this peak of the roof on the front of my house and I've got to carry my drill I've got to carry screws the piece that I made and and work above my head so it's gonna be a little bit to handle but and that's why I like this vest I want to show you one just in case this is your first time here or you've seen me wear the vest and haven't heard me talk about it or see me use it in this situation but the drill that I use has a little clip on it the vest has webbing so I can hang on the front if I want to and I might get in the way of me climbing a ladder so sometimes I like to hang on the back of this strap here and so it's not in the way that'll allow me to use my hands of course I'm gonna be carrying this piece so I've got to be careful but that allows me to not have to worry about the drill it's hanging on my vest and I can use it once I get up to the top so but another thing that I want to do is carry some extra screws now I've got a magnetic piece here on the front of my vest I can do that or I've got an accessory here that is a magnetic wrist strap and I like to use this in projects because it's so convenient and I'm all about convenience but it's got a magnetic patch here I'm gonna carry just you know four four extra screws and they'll go right here this magnetic the patch is really strong so those will not come off unless I pull them off but they'll be out of the way they don't have to worry about them and if I need them one of the screws fall out or they break or I get kind of sideways on the screw that falls I've got extra here and I don't have to worry about digging in my pockets or carrying them in my mouth like mothers most of us do so anyway that's how I'm gonna be proactive with having extra screws and by the way this is one of my modular storage solutions I've got one over here in the other corner at the CNC sets on this is a 8 drawer system here that I have with little containers with screws and such in it and it's just really handy to have right here by the drill charging station that I also made I've got plans for the drill charging station and this modular shop storage solution so if University of those go check them out I hop links down in the description for you [Music]

Tour of the All the Cars I Have on Shelves
i'm steve from this week with cars and today is a really cold rainy day it's pretty terrible outside and so today i thought i would answer a question that i've had a few times and that was if i could give a tour of all these cars that are up on the shelves behind me i haven't given a tour of those cars yet so that's what we're gonna do today probably the number one question i get asked about them is how do i get them up there and i do that using this toyota fork truck this fork truck has a 5 000 pound capacity which is plenty for anything that i would be attempting to lift and put up on the shelf it is powered by propane and it's perfect for this use first vehicle up there is an old willy's jeep called little red the safd on the back of it that stands for south amana fire department and that's a small town that's near here basically i use that body for storing all of the used willy's jeep parts that i have anything that i think i should save off of a willy's jeep i'd throw it up there i think i've restored four of these now so any extra parts or anything that i didn't think needed to go to the dump i put it up there just in case someday i might find a use for it below the willys is in austin america this one is a 1969 it does have a manual transmission this car had gone through a restoration at one time and the engine in it doesn't have very many miles on it the local british car mechanic had built this car for his daughter and shortly after giving it to her she wrecked it so you can see the front of the car has seen better days he did tear down quite a few austin americas i have a lot of engines here for awesome america's and i do have another grill uh maybe another bumper i do have a lot of parts for this and they're all sitting inside the car in case i wanted to do something with it someday i don't know if that day will ever come maybe i'll just take the engine out of it and put it in another mini derivative and those who don't know this is a special version of the morris 1100 that was made for the american market and both of those cars can be thought of as a long wheelbase classic mini below the austin america hiding underneath all this stuff is an mgb this is a rubber bumper era mgb i bought this car with the intentions of putting it back together someday now it just houses a lot of mgb parts as you can see i have a bunch of brand new mgb panels and other parts from several different cars all piled on top here behind the mgb is a mark one austin healey sprite this is not a new paint job on this car but this car has not been on the road since it was painted the final assembly has never been finished on it so it's just waiting here waiting to get reassembled i think this car has been painted for about 15 years now i know that the car had an accident it had been bumped in the back after it was painted and then so the back end had to be repainted again you can see it doesn't quite match the doors there or the rest of the car so whoever fixed the back end of this car and then repainted it didn't do a very good job of getting everything to match here above the sprite is another rubber bumper era mgb this is also a car that i'm never going to restore it just houses a ton of mgb parts although i do have crates and crates of mgb parts up on the shelves sometimes it's easier just to throw the parts into one of these mgbs that's sitting here on the shelf and that way it's a little easy to look through it and i know where the parts are above the mgb is a dkw estate that i featured a video on it's kind of funny originally this video didn't get a whole lot of views but within the last uh month or so it's been a year since i did that video and it's been gaining a lot in popularity over the last month so that is a car that maybe i will get back to and do some more work on behind the dkw is an innocenti spider s this car does run and drive i just don't have room for it down here i was planning this winter on restoring this car and restoring another es fighter as well at the same time but other things have kind of taken precedence and i didn't get around to doing anything with this car i already have a fully restored innocente spider so since i wasn't going to be driving this one i put it up on the shelf keep it safe and keep it out of the way so that i can get other things done below the inl chanti spider is an mg this car is actually pretty complete the drivetrain is there as you can see it's wearing a few uh restored random sprite wheels or wheels i don't remember where this car came from i don't even remember if i paid anything for it i put it up there on the shelf when the shelves were built so it has been sitting there for a long time at least eight years i have thought if anyone wants to see a challenge between me and kevin over at junkyard diggs i could get this car running and we could have some sort of mg challenge his car is in pretty similar condition to this one and i don't think it would take me very long to get this one to run so if you guys think that sounds like a good idea maybe i could see if we can make that happen below that mg i have a whole bunch of parts i could put another car down here but right now i just need to organize my parts get this cleared up and then i can put another car down here i can't even remember what the last car that i had placed there was but i do remember at one time i did have a car sitting in there probably another mg moving down the line is a very last year of the mgb this mgb has also been upgraded with some performance items you can see it has a weber carburetor there it has an alloy valve cover i haven't really investigated it to see what else it has this is a car that maybe someday i will fix up and if you're wondering what that black pool underneath the mgb is this is a sunbeam alpine engine that has broken through the pallet tipped over so i need to do a little cleanup back here actually these are all three sunbeam alpine engines here so above this mgb i have another mgb this was a very very nice car at one time this was owned by a guy and he made his girlfriend or wife extremely mad and she went out and filled the car with fireworks and set it on fire so when the fire department showed up to put the fire out in this car they took crowbars and pry bars and they pried the bonnet up so the bonnet is kind of dented and the tops of the fenders are kind of dented but as you can see the wheels are in good shape there's actually a lot of stuff on this car that's still in really good shape and the engine did not really make it into the engine bay so everything inside of there is also in really good shape i have enough parts around here i don't think it would take me too long to fix this car up and make it right again above the burnt up fireworks mgb i have a simca 1100 i got this car for the price of hauling it away this is a pretty neat little car but i do not have the drivetrain for it this is of course a rear engine car besides the engine it's in pretty complete condition and it would make an interesting project maybe a really interesting repower or possibly a good candidate to convert to electric just like the next car we're going to see these were really popular rally cars i think it'd be fun to fix this car up and give it that vintage rally look behind the simca i have a renault dauphine this car is a lot more complete than the simca is this car has a drivetrain although the engine is taken apart i think it would be fun to give this car a gordini treatment since the engine is disassembled this might make a good video if anyone wants to see it i could pull this car down take a look at the engine see if it is rebuildable maybe do something with it it appears to be a pretty solid shape and these cars have a pretty good following below the renault is another mgb as you can see it's pretty rusty i'm probably never going to do anything with this car but this is uh one of the mgbs that i have not started to throw stuff into i haven't filled it with parts i've left it sitting here waiting for a restoration probably that will never happen someday if i need more room i might just tear this car down because this is probably better as just a parts car well this car has been sitting here on the shelves since the shelves were built as well below the rotten mgb is a mark one austin healey sprite race car because of all the stuff that i have in front of this car you probably haven't been able to see it in any of my videos before but right now the engine is out of this car and i have it sitting on the other side of the room i have a lot of sprite projects on my hands right now but resurrecting this race car or converting it over to be a street car might be a great project to show you guys someday i do have the seca log book for this car this is the original log book and it does show when the car was built this car was originally turned into a race car in 1972 and in the log book it lists all the races and the drivers who have driven this car behind that race car is a sunbeam alpine this car was sitting out in a cow pasture and i think i bought two sunbeam alpines from the owner of this car and he asked me if i wanted the shell as well he wasn't going to do anything he was just going to scrap it and i said of course i want it so here it is sitting on top of it there is a real original sunbeam hard top i did not get that with this car but it's a good place to store it above this sunbeam alpine so it's another sunbeam alpine this one is in considerably better shape does need rocker panels but i would consider this car something that could be rebuildable and above that sunbeam alpine is another sunbeam this time a sunbeam tiger this car is very complete although it does need a full restoration so right now it's just sitting up on the shelf and a waiting one someday i will get around to this car and when that happens i will make some videos for you we come around the corner from the three sun beams over here i do have a jaguar six cylinder with overdrive transmission hiding underneath this tile and then on the other side of that is another sunbeam tiger this car needs a lot of work and i have shown this in previous sunbeam tiger videos above the tigers it's another sunbeam alpine this is a series five it does run and drive i just don't have room on the floor for it and i have so many other sunbeams that i probably wouldn't be driving this one anyways this one is a pretty decent car so someday i'll pull it down on the shelf and fix it up some more above that series 5 alpine i have a fiat 124 this is an earlier car which would have the chrome bumpers and not the rubber ones i do not have the engine for this car i was given this car for the price of moving it out of the garage it's also missing the cowl piece in front of the windscreen i just didn't want to see the car go to the scrap yard because it does have potential to be turned into something and for those who are wondering that is not a hard top for a fiat sitting on there that's actually a hard top for a triumph i'm just storing it up there it's a good place to keep it out of the way behind the fiat i have a mini minivan this is the panel van version of the mini as you can see this was the shop truck of the local british mechanic i think he said he drove this car until one day he got in an accident at this point you can't tell where the accident was i think this damage on the side may have been due to his skid loader maybe it was due to the accident at the time i'm not quite sure but it is a pretty neat piece of local history so i'm glad that i saved it from the scrap yard below the panel van is a countryman woody wagon this is the woody station wagon version of the classic mini if you've watched my videos i have a fully restored version of this car since i have another one that runs and drives i will probably never get around to restoring this car but i also think it would be a shame to send it to the scrap yard but who knows maybe i will run into someone someday that wants to tackle this project right now i do not have another car beneath the countryman this is where i'm storing a lot of my triumph parts this is a lot of triumph tr3 and tr4 parts that's a perkins diesel generator right there though and then i kind of keep trying tr6 parts over here so i need to get this cleared up so i can put another car down here behind all those parts and behind these military tires i have a nissan z this is an old race car but they blew up the original turbo motor and so i threw a spare chevrolet v8 that i had sitting around i have never finished this project a few of my friends have gone a few years now without doing the racing thing so this project has been kind of put on hold until there's more interest in racing this car again and obviously i have a lot more engineering to go to finish this project but maybe this would be a good project for showing you guys on this week with cars on the inside you can see it is still completely full race car inside it had already been converted to using simple instruments so it would be no problem getting those to work with the chevrolet v8 above the nissan i of course have another sunbeam this is a sunbeam alpine the front end of this car was sacrificed to save another sunbeam alpine that i own i don't think i have featured that alpine on any of my videos yet but i am planning on doing that because it is a pretty interesting car above this alpine is an mgb gt this is one of four mgb gts that i bought one day a somewhat local guy was tearing the engines out of these cars and selling them to other mgb owners that needed them and he was just going to send these cars to the scrap yard so i went down and i hauled them all back up here behind the bgt is an mgb roadster this is a pretty early car it has the full metal dash this is the earliest mgb that i have ever owned and because it is such an early car i think it would be worth restoring someday beneath the roadster is another mgb gt as you can see i'm either missing the bonnet or i had used to bonnet on another car i think when the guy was taking the engines out he had the bonnets off and he just either sold the bonnets or kept them beneath this bgt is an earlier bgt this is my favorite of the bgts that i got that day i have sold one of the four already but this is the one that i definitely want to keep i do have an mgb engine that i rebuilt in the other room and it's ready to go in this car or any of these other mgbs when i actually have some time to work on them and for anyone who recognizes this this is the luggage rack that goes on the roof of my series 3 land rover but with the rack on it it will not fit in the garage at my house so usually i leave it off i think two or three times now i've gotten home and i forgot that the rack was up there and it just knocked the rack right off the roof of the land rover when i tried to pull into the garage so that was a little tour of the cars that i have up on the shelf both future projects parts cars and cars that i know i'll never do anything with at all if you have any suggestions on what i should do with any of the cars that you've seen in this video comment below and if you want to see more videos like this click the

WARNING * ARMAGEDDON! Vision: FIRE! 7 PLAGUES! LAST DAYS God's WRATH (REV. 13-19)
Pat love with Pat's two cents it looks like God wants me to deal with Armageddon I have never been told to do this before now before I start I'm going to share a quick Vision I had a few days ago I saw fire things dripping in fire it's like when you're in something that's been Ablaze for a while and things that are melting metals and woods and fabrics and they're dropping and they're full of flames and they're dropping it was like everywhere I was looking things were just dropping that was already a blaze so I don't know what that meant but this right here it scared me when God told me to read about the seven plagues so let me do what I was told to do starting Revelations chapter 13. I don't even know if there's going to be any past two cents all I know is this is what I was told to read I don't know enough about Revelations to be a master so I think I'm just going to read unless God tells me to say something other than that I'ma stick with his word on this one it's too serious okay um wow last days I guess huh Revelations chapter 13. and I stood upon the sand of the sea and so a beast rise out of the sea having seven heads and ten horns and upon his horns ten crowns and upon his heads the name of blasphemy and the beasts which I saw was like unto a leopard and his feet were as the feet of a bear and his mouth as the mouth of a lion and the dragon gave him his power and his seat and great Authority and I saw one of his heads as it were wounded to death and his deadly wound was healed and all the world wandered after the Beast and they worshiped the dragon which gave power unto the Beast and they worshiped the Beast saying who is like unto the Beast who is able to make war with him and there was given unto him a mouth speaking great things and blasphemies and power was given unto him to continue forty and two months and he opened his mouth and blasphemy against God to blaspheme his name and his Tabernacle and then that dwell in heaven and it gave it was given unto him to make war with the Saints and to overcome them and power was given him over all kindreds and tongues and Nations and all that dwell upon the Earth shall worship Him whose names are not written in the Book of Life of the lamb slain from the foundation of the world if any man has an ear let him hear he that leadeth into captivity shall go into captivity he that killeth with the sword must be killed with the sword here is the patience and the faith of the Saints and I beheld another Beast upon coming upon excuse me and I beheld another Beast coming up out of the earth and he had two horns like a lamb and he's spoken as a dragon and he exercises all the power of the first Beast before him and causeth the Earth and them which dwell therein to worship the first Beast whose deadly wound was healed and he doeth great wonders so that he maketh Fire come down from heaven on on the earth in the sight of men and deceiveth them that dwell on the Earth by the means of those Miracles which he had power to do in the sight of of the Beast saying to them that dwell on the earth that they should make an image to the Beast which had the wound by a sword and did live and he had power to give life unto the image of the Beast that the image of the Beast should both speak and cause that as many as would not worship the image of the Beast should be killed and he caused all both small and great rich and poor free and bond to receive a mark in their right hand or in in their forehead and that no man might buy or sell save that he had the Mark or the name of the Beast or the number of his name here is wisdom let him that understand it with understanding let me say that again here is wisdom let him that hath understanding count the number of beasts for it is the number of a man and his number is 603 score and six chapter 14. and I looked and lo a lamb stood on the Mount Zion and with him and 140 and 4 000 having his father's name written in their foreheads and I Heard a Voice from Heaven as the voice of many Waters and as the voice of great Thunder and I heard the voice of Harpers harping with their harps and they sung as it were a new song before the throne and before the four beasts and the elders and no man could learn that song but 140 and 4 000 which were redeemed from the Earth these are they which will not defiled with women for they were very they are virgins there are they these are they which follow the Lamb with us so ever he going these are redeemed from among men being the firstfruits unto God and to the lamb and in their mouth was found no guile for they are without fault Before the Throne of God and I saw another angel fly in the midst of Heaven having the Everlasting gospel to preach unto them that dwell on the earth and to every nation and Kindred and tongue and people saying with a loud voice fear God and give glory to him for the hour of his judgment is come and worship him that made Heaven and Earth and the Sea and The Fountains of water and they followed another Angel saying Babylon has fallen is Fallen that great City because she made all nations drink of the wine of the wrath of her fornications and the third Angel followed them saying with a loud voice if any man worshiped the Beast and His Image and receive his Mark in his forehead or in his hand the same shall drink of the wine of the wrath of God which is poured out without mixture into the cup of his indignation and he shall be tormented with fire and brimstone in the presence of the Holy Angels and in the presence of the Lamb and the smoke of their torment ascended up forever and ever and they have no rest foreign no rest day nor night whose worship who worship the Beast and His Image and whosoever receiveth the mark of his name here is the patience of the Saints here are they that keep the Commandments of God and the faith of Jesus and I Heard a Voice from Heaven saying unto me right blessed are the dead which die in the Lord from henceforth yea saith the spirit that they may rest from their labors and their Works do follow them and I looked and behold the White Cloud and upon the cloud one sat like unto the son of man having on his head a Golden Crown and in his hand a sharp sickle and another angel came out of the temple crying with a loud voice to him that sat on the cloud thrust in thy sickle and reap for the time is come for thee to reap for the Harvest of the earth is ripe and he that sat on the cloud thrust in the sickle on the Earth and the Earth was reaped excuse me and another angel came out of the temple which is in heaven he also having a sharp sickle and another angel came out from the altar which had power over fire and cried with a loud cry to him that had the sharp sickles saying thrust in thy sharp sickle and gather the clusters of Vine thrust in thy sickle and gather the clusters of the vine of the Earth for her grapes are fully ripe and the angel thrust in his sickle into the Earth and gathered the vine of the earth and cast it into the Great Vine press of the wrath of God and the vine press The Wine Press was trodden without the city outside of the city and blood came out of the wine dress even unto the horse bridles by the space of a thousand and six hundred furlongs chapter 15. and I saw a sign I saw another sign in heaven great and marvelous seven angels having the seven last plagues for and then is filled up the Wrath of God and I saw as it were a sea of glass mingled with fire and them that had gotten the victory over the Beast and over his image and over his Mark and over the number of his name stand on the sea of glass having the Hops of God and they sing the song of Moses the servant of God and the song of the Lamb sang great and marvelous are thy Works Lord God Almighty just and true are thy ways Thou King of saints who shall not fear your lord and glorify thy name for thou art thou only art holy for all nations shall come and worship before thee for thy judgments are made manifest and after that I looked and behold behold the Temple of the Tabernacle of the testimony in heaven was open and the Seven Angels came out of the temple having the seven plagues clothed in pure white linen and having their breasts girded with golden girdles and one of the four beasts gave unto the seven angels seven golden vials full of the wrath of God who liveth forever and ever and the temple was filled with smoke from the glory of God and from his power and no man was able to enter into the temple till the seven plagues of the Seven Angels were fulfilled chapter 16. and I heard a great voice out of the temple saying to the seven angels go your ways and pour out the vials of the wrath of God upon the Earth and the first went and poured out his vial upon the Earth and they fell a noisome and Grievous sore upon the men which had the mark of the beast and upon them which worshiped His image and the second Angel poured out his vial upon the sea and it became as the blood of a dead man and every living Soul died in the sea and the third Angel poured out his vial upon the rivers and Fountains of waters and they became blood and I heard the angel of the waters say thou art righteous O Lord which art and was and shalt be because thou has judged thus for they have shed the blood of the Saints and Prophets and thou has given them blood to drink for they are worthy and I heard another out of the altar say even so Lord God Almighty true and righteous are their judgments and the fourth Angel poured out his vial upon the son and power was given unto him to Scorch men with fire and men were scorched with great Heat and blasphemed the name of God which hath power over these plagues and they repented not to give him glory and the fifth angel poured out his vow upon the seat of the Beast and his kingdom was full of darkness and they gnawed their tongues for pain and blasphemed God Of Heaven because of their pains and their sores and repented not of their deeds and the sixth Angel poured out his vial upon the great river Euphrates and the water thereof was dried up that the way of the kings of the East might be prepared and I saw three unclean spirits like frogs come out of the mouth of the dragon and out of the mouth of the Beast and out of the mouth of the false prophets for they are the spirits of devils working miracles which go forth into the kings of the Earth and of the whole world to gather them to the battle of the great day of God almighty behold I come as a thief blessed is he that watches and keepeth his garments lest he walk naked and they see the shame and he gathered them together into a place called in the Hebrew tongue Armageddon and the seventh angel poured out his vial into the air and there came a great voice out of the Temple of Heaven from the throne saying it is done and there were voices and Thunders and lightnings and there was a great earthquake such as was not since men were upon the Earth so mighty an earthquake and so great and the great city was divided into three parts and the cities of the Nations fell in great Babylon came in remembrance before God to give unto her the cup of the wine of the fierceness of his Wrath and every island fled away and the mountains were not found and there fell upon men a great hail Out of Heaven every stone about the weight of a talent and Men blasphemed God because of the plague of the hell for the plague thereof was exceeding great chapter 17. and there came one of the Seven Angels which had the seven vials and talked with me saying unto me come hither I will show unto thee the Judgment of the great that sitteth upon many Waters with whom the kings of the Earth have committed fornication and the inhabitants of the Earth have been made drunk with the wine of her fornication so he carried me away in the spirit Into the Wilderness and I saw a woman sit upon a Scarlet colored Beast full of names of blasphemy having seven heads and ten horns and the woman was arrayed in purple and scarlet color and decked with gold and precious stones and Pearls having a golden cup in her hand full of Abominations and filthiness of her fornication and upon her forehead was the name written mystery Babylon the great the mother of harlots and Abominations of the Earth and I saw the woman drunken with the blood of the Saints and with the blood of the martyrs of Jesus and when I saw her I wondered with great admiration and the angel said unto me whereof it's thou Marvel I will tell thee The Mystery of the woman and of the Beast that carryth her which had the seven heads and ten horns the Beast that thou Source was and is not and shall Ascend out of the bottomless pit and go into Perdition he and they that dwell on the Earth shall wander or wonder whose names were not written in the Book of Life from the foundation of the world when they behold the Beast that was and is not and yet is and here is the mind which hath wisdom the seven heads are seven mountains on which the woman sitted and there are seven Kings five are fallen and one is and the other is not yet come and when he cometh he must continue a short pace and the Beast that was and is not even he is the eighth and is of the seven and goeth into Perdition and the ten horns which thou Source are Ten Kings which have received no kingdoms yet but receive power as kings one hour with the Beast these have one mind and shall give their power and strength unto the Beast these shall make war with the lamb and the lamb shall overcome them for he is Lord of lords and King of Kings and they that are with him are called and chosen and faithful and he saith unto me the waters which thou sourced where the horse sitting or peoples and multitudes and Nations and tongues and the ten horns which thou Source upon the Beast these shall hate the and shall make her desolate and naked and shall eat her flesh and burn her with fire for God hath put in their hearts to fulfill his will and to agree and give their Kingdom unto the Beast until the words of God shall be fulfilled and the woman which thou source is the great city which reigneth over the kings of the Earth 18. and after these things I saw another Angel come down from heaven having great power and the Earth was lightened with his glory and he cried mightily with a strong voice saying Babylon the great is Fallen is fallen and has become the habitation of devils and the hold of every foul spirit and a cage of every unclean and hateful bird for all nations have drunk of the wine of the wrath of her fornications and the kings of the Earth have committed fornication with her and the merchants of the Earth are waxed Rich through the abundance of her Delicacies and I heard another voice from Heaven saying come out of her my people that ye be not partakers of her sins and that ye receive not of her plagues for her sins have reached unto heaven and God hath remembered her iniquities reward her even as she rewarded you and double unto her double according to her works in the cup which she has filled filled to her devil how much she has glorified herself and lived deliciously so much torment and sorrow give her for she saith in her heart I sit as a queen and am no Widow and shall see no sorrow therefore shall her plagues come in one day death morning and famine and she shall be utterly burned with fire for strong is the Lord God who judges her and the kings of the earth who have committed fornication and lived deliciously with her shall bewail her and lament for her when they see the smoke of her burning standing afar off for the fear of her torment saying alas alas that great City Babylon that Mighty City for in one hour is thy judgment come and the merchants of the Earth shall weep and mourn over her for no man buyeth their merchandise anymore the merchandise of gold and silver and precious stones and of pearls and fine linen and a purple and silk and Scarlet and all thy Vine wood in all manner of vessels of ivory all matter vessels of most precious wood and of brass and iron and marble and cinnamon and odors and ointments and frankincense and wine and oil and fine flour and wheat and beasts and sheep and horses and chariots and slaves and Souls of men and the fruit the fruits that thy Soul lusteth after are departed from thee and all things which were deity and goodly are departed from thee and thou shalt find them no more at all the merchants of these things which were made Rich by her shall stand afar off for the fear of her torment weeping and wailing and saying alas alas that great city that was clothed in fine linen and purple and Scarlet and decked with gold and precious stones and Pearls for in one hour so great riches has come to not and every shipmaster and all the company and ships and sailors and as many as trade by sea stood afar off and cried when they saw the smoke of her burning saying what city it's like unto this great City and they cast dust on their heads and cried weeping and wailing saying alas unless that great City wherein was made rich all that had ships in the sea by reason of her costliness for in one hour she is she made desolate Rejoice over her thou heaven and ye Holy Apostles and Prophets for God hath Avenged you on her and Hermione Angel took up a stone like a great Millstone and cast it into the sea saying thus with violence shall that great City Babylon be thrown down and shall be found no more at all and the voice of Harpers and musicians and of Pipers and trumpeters shall be heard no more at all indeed and no Craftsman a whatsoever craft he be shall be found any more indeed and the sound of a millstone shall be heard no more at all indeed and the light of a candle shall shine no more at all in thee and the voice of the bridegroom and of the Bride shall be heard no more at all indeed for thy Merchants were the Great Men of the Earth for by thy sorceries were all these nations deceived and in her and her was found the blood of prophets and of saints and of all that was slain upon the Earth chapter 19 and I believe this is the last chapter and after these things I heard a great voice of much people in heaven saying hallelujah salvation and glory honor and power unto the Lord our God for true and righteous are his judgments for he had judged the great which did corrupt the Earth with a fornication and hath Avenged the blood of his servants at her hand and again they said Hallelujah and her smoke rose up forever and ever and the Four and Twenty elders and the four beasts fell down and worshiped God that sat on the throne saying amen halleluia and a voice came out of the throne saying praise our God all ye his servants and ye that fear Him both small and great and I heard as it were the voice of a great multitude and as the voice of many Waters and as a voice of Mighty thundering saying Alleluia for the Lord God omnipotent reigneth and let us be glad and rejoice and give honor to him for the marriage of the Lamb is come and his wife hath made herself ready and to her was granted that she should be arrayed in fine linen clean and white for the fine linen is the righteousness of saints and he saith unto me right blessed are they which are called unto the marriage supper of the Lamb and he saith unto me these are the true sayings of God and I fell at his feet to worship and he said unto me see thou do it now I am thy fellow servant and of thy Brethren that have the testimony of Jesus worship God for the testimony of Jesus is the spirit of Prophecy and I saw heaven open and behold a white horse and he that sat upon him was called faithful and true and in righteousness he doth judge and make war his eyes were as a flame of fire and on his head were many crowns and he had a name written that no man knew but he himself and he was clothed with a vesture dipped in Blood and his name is called the word of God and the armies which were in heaven followed him upon white horses clothed and fine linen white and clean and out of his mouth go with a sharp sword that with it he should Smite the Nations and he shall rule them with a rod of iron and he shredded the vine The Wine Press of the fierceness and Wrath of almighty God and he half in his Vester and on his thigh a name written king of kings and Lord of lords and I saw an angel standing in the Sun and he cried with a loud voice saying to all the fowls that fly in the midst of Heaven Come gather yourselves together upon the supper of the great God that ye may eat the Flesh of Kings and the Flesh of captains and the Flesh of Mighty Men and the Flesh of horses of them that sat on them and the Flesh of all men both free and bond both small and great and I saw the Beast and the kings of the earth and their armies gathered together to make war against him that sat on the horse and against his army and the Beast was taken and with him the false prophet that wrought Miracles before him with which he deceived them that had to see received the mark of the beast and them that

The BDSM Elves Of D&D Explained By 1d4chan
Dro more commonly known as dark elves are a common reoccurring type of Elf first introduced in Dungeons and Dragons as a matriarchal society of black-skinned and white-haired Subterranean elves who are literally allergic to sunlight unlike real-life underground species that develop pale skin drow have black skin due to the curse laid upon them when their demon goddess loath turned them away from the other Elven gods they produce adamantine equipment which falls apart in sunlight yet as badass underground take slaves are ruled by an abusive matriarchy that likes S and M have magic resistance really like spiders and hate most other elves in short they'd be [ __ ] cool were it not for the fact that 90 of all player character drow will be chaotic good and be rebelling against the evils of their race thanks to the Raging hard on underages and other trailers have for dressed as a result even though dark elf pr0 is a common B totally acceptable given their Canon behavior and C totally relevant when somebody asks for dark elf pictures CB people still get one Eon TG at anything moderately crude sure we're trying to hold back the tide of cancer but where Dark Elves are concerned it's totally good designers have mooted plenty other visions of subterranean elf sometimes superficially looking like Dro sometimes even called dro the bend the definition given above largely because of that anti-drased constituency we mentioned we'll get to those below history drow were first mentioned in the second 1978 hardback of the monster manual for advanced Dungeons and Dragons first edition and or else here the black elves or Dro are only Legend they purportedly dwell deep beneath the surface in a strange Subterranean realm the drow said to be as dark as Fair as a bright and as evil as the latter are good Tales picture them as weak Fighters but strong magic users contemporaneously they are fleshed out in G3 all of the fire giant king they truly sprang onto the world in the follow-up drow Trilogy Adventure path which with its sequel Queen of the demon web pits fleshed out the underdark drought culture and lolf they subsequently entered the fiend folio and gigax himself gave them PC stats in Unearthed duck Anna more on that in a minute the already popular villains exploded in popularity as a PC race following the release of the drizzed novels to the point of parody oversaturation and backlash there all three have died down with time and distance I guess we can't go any further without talking about the controversy can we all right so a lot of the things in drought culture are supposed to be opposites of what other races see as normal drama matriarch Circle consider clothing besides underwear to be a sign of weakness adore spiders and hate puppies and have their skin and hair colors inverted from humans oh and they're also evil yeah put all these facts together at once and you don't even need to ask the sjws what The Accidental implications are things aren't helped by the internet eternal love affair was simplifying things down into jokes so it didn't take long before drow picked up the stereotype darker skinned elves are ruled by evil feminism have a Savage half civilized culture of betrayal to tell you what you already know there's some grains of Truth to the unfortunate implications but there's also more than a little bad faith trolling at play until people who didn't know anything about them but the memes took it seriously first and foremost regarding their skin tone drow are almost never described as having any human skin tones in any sources and their facial features are usually drawn to resemble either Caucasian or Asiatic appearance rather than an African with dark skin light hair and sometimes red eyes the effect the artists were going for was photonicative rather than person of color sadly this was lost on a lot of people such as whoever drew the Pony Queen of the spider's cover where their skin was an ash and dark Tanner La South India pretty much every Japanese artist where they tend towards the coffee with latte end of the skin spectrum and one particular writer who described ralhair as curly even the evil thing wasn't supposed to dominate drow culture Drizzt was rocking the good alignment as far back as 1988 then in 1991 illustri was written into show drow word inherently evil the evil gods were just on top right now and the good ones were still clawing back territory as of a present the drow have seemingly moved ask the backlash to hit the most popular spot they've ever been in they were introduced as a core PC race for the first time in 5e albeit the only one at launched to have a built-in penalty the second major adventure line for the Edition took place in the underdark and gave them a ton of focus and was retcon to be a massive plot by their Patron goddess to boot and they tend to cameo in most other Adventure lines or Collections and get new monster versions added with each new monster manual equivalent in Universe the drow backstory mostly boils down to them being victims of the bitter breakup between corellen and lolf basically when the two Gods started fighting this led to a great elf Civil War as elves chose to follow either one God or the other when loth's side lost she and her followers were all kicked out of the Realms controlled by the selder aim and that extended to her elf followers who fled into the underdark to avoid further retribution there they still over their defeat and fully turned to the dark powers in hopes of rebuilding and one day launching a massive counter-attack to destroy those who had driven them from the surface old-school drow were implied to worship all manner of unsavory deities and Demon princes but due to the Forgotten Realms and in particular the Drizzt novels lolf eventually became the de facto henotheistic Patron goddess of all drow relations the drow don't exactly get on well with other races but they are still elves so the family tree can produce some rather odd branches famously drow are often transformed by lolth into half Dro half spider sent or creatures traditionally known as dryders in several editions they also created the chittings a race of humanoid spiders an incredibly rare mutation amongst the drow are the Zaki meaning ghost spiders drow Afflicted with albinism first appearing in the form of a prominent antagonist character in the original mastika novels who was transformed into a dreider at her end the suzaki were fleshed out in 3.5's drow of the underdark they are mechanically identical to Dro the their albinism allows them to pass themselves off as elves so they are coddled and trained as Elite infiltrators a common sacred right for drow priestesses of lolth is to bang a powerful demon known as a glabry zoo the resultant half fiend Offspring is known as a driggleth in addendi drow also had a unique half-dragon offshoot race that was half deep Dragon known simply as the drow dragon in 3E this idea was tweaked and replaced with a race of drill dragons born of shadow dragon lineage called zeko these in turn gave rise to a race called the drazakil who could chop a shift between purely drow and purely draconic forms much like how duga have the long forgotten but still under dark dwelling counterpart of gray dwarfs so to do draw have such a counterpart race the roxier elf Mr has its own unique elf race that takes the drows niche the shadow elf D and D first edition they never were drow in the Box me line this line did spin up some underworld elves incompatible with surface elves the shadow elves the shatan of them but those were Aztec or post-as Tech Shadow elves Farm spiders in like one city only leave them alone where drow did exist starting at Grayhawk gigax at first restricted them to the role of monsters due to their in-game law both drisdorden in ice wine Vale not greyhawk and arguably Not Forgotten Realms at first either and viconia Diva were exceptions with backstories to explain why they air on the surface instead of down in the underdark that said gigax wasn't entirely ignorant to his audience PC staff for drow elves appeared alongside the other under Dr Demi humans dugar and zverfnerblin in the original Unearthed Arcana IV ad in d1e they were still quite strong but nerfed from their appearance in the drow Trilogy for instance knocking out that spell resistance they were also less powerful than their two e Incarnation third edition three managed to make it almost a whole year before caving in and making the drow full and proper player character race in the 2001 Forgotten Realms campaign setting they had the usual elf Boney and flaws plus plus two int plus two jar dark vision 120 feet instead of Elf normal low light vision spell resistance of 11 plus character level plus two tool saves against spells the ability to cast Dancing Lights darkness and fairy fire a spell-like abilities one slash day proficiencies with hand crossbow Rapier and short sword instead else normal sudden bright sunlight will blind a drow for one round and the drow will be dazzled until they leave the bright light male drow have wizard as their favored class female drow have cleric of lolf as favored class the larger array of spell-like abilities they had in Adam D such as levitation are its kind in this Edition as being exclusive to drownability only that's not to say mechanics to let a PC have access to these Powers were completely unavailable they had an article on their culture in Dragon magazine number 298 that really emphasized the darker side of drought culture want a sample according to this law dra don't die out because despite their tendency to murder and torture each other they're as fertile as Orcs with females normally conceiving Twins and triplets they normally only birth a single baby though because the strongest usually kills and absorbs the others in the womb these prenatal struggles actually produce orgasms more intense than anything a drow female might feel elsewhere this sensation Chad Zack is explicitly called out as the main reason why drow women are willing to get pregnant at all considering the selfish power hungry [ __ ] they generally are ibaron has a drow sub race called The umbrojan Who possess strange mystical Powers connecting to the darkness mechanically this is represented by replacing their spell-saving throw bonus with a plus two racial bonus to hide and move silently checks swapping their weapon proficiencies for Longbow short bow longsword and Rapier and making their favorite class into warlock plus a racial restricted set of variant abilities for salknife and a bevy of racial Feats all of this appears in Dragon magazine number 330. so I hear you guys are into thick big titty Wafers while we got you covered at Nick bedier.com Co dot UK One-Stop shop for [ __ ] jar models however we do sell a lot more than just smart

manual had some explicit monsters as races in the back and the drow were one of them although they got an identical repost in the four e Forgotten Realms player's guide alongside the Genesis fittingly since FR basically created the idea of drow PCS for Dro plus two decks and plus two Char or plus two whis dark vision plus two intimidate plus two stealth Fey origin trance and one racial encounter power Loth touched that could be used as a minor action for one of two effects that last until the drow's next turn a closed burst one Darkness spell the drought can see through or a fairy fire spell that gives combat advantage against the target drow had a couple of dragon magazine articles available to them issue number 367 feature the article Children Of Darkness a setting neutral in that it was equally applicable to both the nint of veil and the Forgotten Realms guide to drow with new racial Feats a racial Paragon path the cursor born and a racial epic Destiny the redeemed drill ironically it brought back the idea having greater racial magic without touching up on the old mechanics a paragon level racial feat called high Bond Rao gave the drow third effect to their loftouched racial power webs of Darkness creates blinding webbing of solidified shadow that ensnare all enemies in a closed blast three This Was Then followed by issue number 413 which abounded a new racial themes for dro the bregan die of mercenary the Elder boy the Malay mag theater Champion the sorcerer Dept the house Priestess the Widow of erached in elith the youth Master the secret apostate and the skulker of Heron fifth edition drowar finally an outright core PC racial option in the player's handbook as an elvensa brace the usual elf advantages along with plus one jar 120 feet dark vision automatic knowing some spells the dancing lights can trip at first the fair fire one slash day at third level and darkness 1 slash day at fifth level automatic weapon proficiencies are hand crossbows rapiers and short swords they are also the only core race to receive an explicit penalty in the core book if the drow or the drowse target are in direct sunlight the drow has disadvantage on attack roles and perception roles it's not as crippling as it sounds in practice but it is annoying as hell better hope you fight indoors a lot and or play them in an adventure designed around spelunking or limited sun exposure like out of the Abyssal curse of strad zalitha's guide gave them a boost with a new racial feat dral High magic reflecting the noble drow spell-like abilities of ADD and E this feat grants a drow the ability to cast detect magic at will and both levitate and dispel magic once per long rest without a spell slot half finder Pathfinder ditches the LOL fastpect and instead makes drow line assorted demon princes instead they got playable templates for the first time in their best Eerie entry and updated versions thereof in the advanced races guide Pathfinder goes back to really really freaking old growl all by stating that there's two kinds of dro normal draw and Noble Dro you're even tougher and nastier with a lot more magical powers these were handled as separate races in the best ERA but again stare changed it to a drow race with a bunch of racial Feats to simulate Noble drabilities which is arguably more balanced fluff wise they are tied into the weird SF bent of the gallerian setting being the descendants of Elsa refused to flee the planet in the face of a catastrophe and turn to demon worship to survive first generation drow are actually the result of elves who've broken really bad physically and psychologically transforming into Dark Elves Natural Born draw aren't actually innately evil build their culture which engages in the traditional practices of slavery Human Sacrifice Etc with a lovely edition of Flesh crafting is so hideously corrupt that almost all of them end up bad anyway they aren't made of alcohol-like classic drow either just [ __ ] their dry desire well see that page I should have listened to my cousin Gala he said to me Quark I've got one word for you weapons no one ever went broke selling weapons Deep Space Nine with alien archive one the drow are back while they are still socially divided into normals and Nobles the stat difference is gone there still are souls they are still into slavery and puppy kicking cruelty but now they've Diversified into the wholesome and socially conscious industry of interstellar arms trafficking drow Society is matriarchal again although men can Han Solo their way to riches by smuggling guns Iberian have unique fluff like all elves drow were formerly slaves to zendrick's Giant Empire but they remained when the now light-skinned elves having split and left their native land of zendrick for Erin all 38 000 Years Ago by culture they are the original and normal elves of the offshoot most of them live in the jungle ruins of giant civilization on zendrick instead of underground they speak giant instead of under common and they aren't associated with spiders with the largest group of drow preferring scorpions instead there are a handful of known types of dro with each try being at one of these types but the published material explicitly States more exist beyond the known areas the qualsura nomadic tribes of Love scorpions the sulitra giant loyalists who have really ancient magic and are obsessed with fire the hand tackle or blood Hunters believe they are destined to rule xender can seek to remove the foreigners who they see is the biggest obstacle to their rule the umbrogen avoided the dragon by settling underground and selling their soul to a dark power known as Umbra the umbrage on a fighting and losing a battle with a deal kill Lord's army and seek weapons to Aid in that fight as they are too prideful to ask for help while the campaign setting says saharjan and Rao are not ideal races for player characters they actually make more sense than most campaign settings in a Barren most Dro aren't crazy religious cultists and come into conflict with Heroes because they are simply territorial people that believe that as they were Servants of the giant Empire when it fell the remains of giant civilization belong to them and all the archaeologists from the north are robbers typical NPC draw are still typically evil though city of stormreach dates that a few drow Exiles have found their way to the city and others have chosen to abandon their old ways and settle among Humanity draw who don't subscribe to their races ruthless ways come to the city to escape the cruel life of the wilds and that drow often come to the city to trade this seems to have been a fairly decent number as the demographics of storm reached eight Dro golinoids Giants and other monsters combine to make 5 of the 11 650 population so there are hundreds of drought that aren't actively hostile to humanity further secrets of zendrick explicitly states that Rao tribes beyond the known ones are likely out there past the charted parts of the continent so there may be non-hostile tribes of drought there Alexandria like in many other settings the drow Alexandria delved into the underdark at the command of the Goddess loaf unfortunately for these dark elves though the underdark of Alexandria is apparently quite a bit more dangerous the types of civilizations the drama might live in beneath the surface of other settings seem to be constantly beset by aberrations and other monster as to a overwhelming degree as a result lolth is actually becoming increasingly unpopular with the drow race who turned to Alternative Gods most prominently as an entity called the luxon worshiped by the people of the crin dynasty of the continent of world amount because the luxon reincarnates those who die into newborns within a certain range regardless of the baby's race it's led to a situation where a goblin could have been a drownable in a past life or vice versa though Sim drows still remain loyal to the Spider Queen things have gotten so dire for LOL that most of her faithful and wildermount are goblinoids with the drowhead matron mother and the continent of wildermount reduced to hiding out in a goblin-oid fortress half drow you may be curious given that the drower still elves even if they are evil slave taking bastards can they interbreed with humans too well ironically D and D never really gave that angle much attention even though ax probably would have agreed if you'd pointed it out that half drow would make far more believable PC options than pure blooded Dro being neither as overpowered as old-school drow were not able to advance and the drowse Twisted society and thus less likely to drink the Kool-Aid and be evil themselves so for the most part half-drow have been ignored throughout dnd's history the very first mention of the idea was as half casts sick in D3 for ADD and d1e leaving and spoken if these be drow human or more likely just from the dating pool drow Elf or even drow bug bear the half drow are subsequently expanded in that edition's Unearthed Arcana there human half elves they were the drows sunlight vulnerability tray slapped on top in short whilst exposed to sunlight you suffer -2 dexterity and a minus two penalty on your to hit roles and your foes get a plus two bonus to their saving throw against your attacks this decreases to a minus one to hit penalty and a plus one save bonus if you're in Shadow but your victim is in direct sunlight not exactly the kind of thing to make people interested the half drow seemed destined to be forgotten and then came at Greenwood who amongst his many other Inspirations from his belief in the free love movements of the 60s that he slipped into the Forgotten Realms found the drought a particularly tickle his fancy so after coming up with things like illustree naturally he needed a place to put in half drow enter Dam breath a region in The Shining South that he decided to make ruled over by the century a race of half drow descended from the ancient drow conquest of dam breath under the reign of a particularly foolish human King well all right technically the Centrio Melting Pot of half drow and half elf Bloodlines since they descend As Much from the half-elf clerics of Lovato who helped the drought conquer the place after all loviator is basically the Realms goddess of evil BDSM and fandom so she's got that in common with lolf to the point that lolfe even let Lovato's Faith be the state religion of danbaruth but they're still mixed human and raw Bloodlines so it counts so yes basically a magical realm of femdom fantasies where any male might be a slave to a drow on the surface and still role play later editions had the humans rise up and Slaughter the domineering knife here [ __ ] because let's face it even to a submissive honor Pastor a realistic medieval stasis setting slavery would not be a pleasant one unless he is a beautiful hunk AKA a reality ensues ironically despite the century number two e version of the half-drow stat block ever debuted not even in The Shining South Splat book that introduced ambrith to the Realms fan base but it did mean that half-draw made it into Third Edition in a gotten Realms Splat book races of farron to be precise of course like their one e counterparts they were not particularly well differentiated mechanically from their half elf Roots a three half-drowers officially a half elf with dark vision 60 feet and replacing Elf blood with drow blood so they're treated as drow for race targeting stuff instead of Elf a baron likewise States half drow exist typically results of trysts in storm reach but doesn't actually do anything with them or give them stats the implication is at half drow exist but are exceptionally rare and with the drow population that interacts peacefully with humans being the mere hundreds their Rarity likely is exceptional still a baron works on the idea that player characters are supposed to be exceptional in general and playing one isn't off limits a more mechanically invested version of the three e half drow didn't come to be until towards the end of the editions lifespan when the 3E version of the Splat book drow of the underdark it states half drow have the standard racial trays of half elves given in the player's handbook except that their favorite class is the class in which they have the most levels in addition rather than Elf blood they have drow blood since drow is abrasive elf the net effect is that they have Elf blood as well the specification of drow blood means if for all special abilities and effects particular to a Dro a half-drow is considered a draw additionally both properly half-drow characters and half-elf characters with only a little bit of drow Heritage like the drow equivalent of a tiefling or asima could take the following featuring character creation all the old moments

Fake Fans Anonymous Podcast #14: The Cameraman (1928)
hi my name's nicole and i'm a fake fan hi nicole hi my name's calvin and i'm a fig fan hi calvin hi my name's tristan i'm a fake fan the only movies i've seen are the disney georgia the jungle duology [Music] hi tristan george george say ape strong apes together strong but today we watched the cameraman i forget what year that was tristan wanna look that up because you're our our big boy our big boy with the trivia 1928 1928 so this is the silent era because if i remember correctly jazz singer when was jessinger 27 so right at the beginning of the sound era like right at the beginning buster key and is still literally grinding away at the silent movie grinding forward not back baby you can only grind forward the cameraman classic buster keaton roll tristan you want to tell us about it uh yeah it's just like me it's about buster keaton and he's one of those uh back before everybody had their phones and they could always take pictures and post it on instagram with a filter buster keaton's one of those little people on the street that's like take pictures for 10 cents then he meets a girl and that's when everything changes baby uh he meets a girl wants to get a job where she works so he can be close to her at mgm news and hijinks ensues and buster keaton goes and does all these wacky things with the camera and with the lady and uh gets caught in a chinatown war loses the footage meets a monkey he ends up getting a job and the girl so yay and the monk and the monkey he gets the monkey a new best friend this is very emblematic of a lot of other buster keaton as well as charlie chaplin roles where you're very sympathetic for him you know he's got the heart of gold even if he doesn't have all the riches in the world he he's not showy whenever bad things happen to him he eats them up and and keeps going forward and gets no praise for it until the very end when the woman realizes he has a heart of gold and takes him back so it's almost just like me i just don't got the woman sally at mgm please call me back it's because you don't have a monkey yet damn it i gotta get will oh my god let's go around and see who's the fake fan nicole are you a fake fan um yes i'm a fake fan i don't watch so much silent movies or that many silent movies because i just choose to spend my time watching other movies and a lot of them aren't even well preserved so yeah that's what the crazy thing is is um like a lot of the ones that you see are literally pieced together by pieces of film that people find but you did like uh george melies films just for oh yeah cause they're pretty you know i mean then there's technicolor you know it's just kind of like my motive colors that's all i want i am a fake fan i even have a book of buster keaton somewhere over there on that table yet i can say i haven't even seen i don't even know if i've seen any of buster keaton's films honestly like i don't know i think i may have seen one where there's like rocks falling down a hill and these rocks are actually made out of like styrofoam and paint or something like that but they look like real boulders that's the only scene i remember that could have just been a scene i'd probably even see the full movie but yep so i'm a fake fan of uh of this whole era and of buster keaton tristan are you a fake fan i am i think you gave your buster keaton book to me i was just gonna say i was like that's right yep i have the buster keaton book now which is funny because i am a fake fan of buster keaton because you because i've been like i'll talk about this in the next episode but i i like to talk about how much i love charlie chaplin even though i've only seen like two of his movies buster keaton i've seen less of i've seen the general like in high school and that's it so when you handed me the book i'm like oh buster keaton he's rad i've only seen one of his movies so yes i'm a fake fan of buster keaton and i seem to have passed the the the baton of fake fannery because i had the book and i hadn't seen any of his movies pass the shame onto me i killed the monk oh no and now we're here to end this vicious cycle i wonder if there's a picture of demonk in that book i'm gonna check that as soon as i get home where's the monk where's the monk in the glossary just looking for monk dumbo to explain the joke for the audience there is a monkey in this movie steals the show one of the one of my favorite characters i've ever seen love them bits you'll you'll love it too when you watch the movie it's it it's our favorite scene or nicole ours favorite scene tristan is your favorite scene too bro i was crying it's not even it's not like everybody loves monkeys but it's the fact that the monkey was introduced by buster keaton running and then like crushing the monkey the monkey is [ __ ] dead like it just cuts to the monkey and it's just face down and not moving i couldn't stop laughing okay so we ended up watching we watched this in the criterion collection app or website and they have a commentary version of it i don't know who did the commentary for it it was the monkey it was the monk i think it was some guy who was involved with archiving the film okay yeah he helped okay well so we wanted to like know more about that scene so we just fast forwarded them apart and they didn't use a sanded monkey or like a stand and prop like they they he said that they fell like near it so it looks like they fell on top of him well thank god the cause this was before like animals pre-code stuff okay yeah yeah cause i was like they totally would have killed that [ __ ] monkey if they wanted to like yeah buster just lay that monkey out [Laughter] so yeah so like i thought it was like a doll no it's like the monkey actually getting like kind of knocked down a little bit yeah i mean maybe if you felt like the people at home can't see what i'm doing but like if you fall and use your arms it's like a cove for little i don't know but yeah i was so worried that that monkey was actually crushed and like no i thought it's like a dog because dolk is it or like a model that's for all the fake fans out there to to fight over whether or not it was a doll or not that that's more incentive for you to watch this movie and join us in the comments below the commentator said it was wasn't one well the commentator was just involved with archiving so i don't know if he actually knows any more than we do even but i mean i don't know i don't know pray for monkey dude pray for me jason did you say that that monkey has a named credit yeah it was josephine the monkey yay jessica you're just being just she lived until 1978. whoa i don't know i don't know okay well look it up look it up you won't [Laughter] jesus um i'm guessing we are all in agreement that we like the movie funny what did you like about it nicole um i like that i could actually get through it i say this every i mean maybe because it's like a little iconic too so that's why it's good and that's why it's at the status that it is but it's one of those movies where if you just keep with it it is really really good like once you get the full circle because there's a lot of like joke implants at the beginning that become repetitive and make it more funny and like silent movies can seem daunting before you you know start watching them because you know they're silent like how could this movie without dialogue you know recorded dialogue keep me interested tristan which is so funny because i took a class on film theory and we're like reading essays from this time and everybody's like how can cinema survive if there's sound it like that's gonna bring me back to reality these movies are gonna be off i'm like shut the [ __ ] up these same people are like movies with color what are you talking about oh my god come on well i think too what's interesting about silent films is that like they know they're silent so all the stuff that you do is stepped up like you don't have super like you might have intimate scenes but they're not like heavy dialogue intimate scenes like everything is moving constantly and i think once you kind of get in tune with that pacing it's it's enjoyable there's a lot to love about silent movies because number one like you said like because they know that they can't communicate a bunch of information by talking your ear off like i don't know um the post or something like that because they know that they can't do that they craft a film around what they can do which is you know having these hilarious fight scenes in the middle of the street or having these hilarious scenes in the in the gymnasium where they're trying to just change clothes for like 15 minutes and they're struggling and like they're doing a lot of stuff that they know their limits and they're doing everything they can to keep you interested and if you think about it just like watching this back in the time 1928 and uh you're in this theater and you're all just laughing your ass off watching buster keaton do these gags like it's it's it's descended from like theater and in vaudeville like this is this is just hilarious stuff and it they really do their job i really like it what do you think tristan i got six letters for you monkey [Laughter] yeah no i liked it i did think it was really funny i do have these because you know i've studied film and i've got marvel brains so it's like i got i'm things got to move fast there are these things in silent movies that sometimes they go in like tangents that i'm i don't hate them like for example the baseball scene in this i was like okay what does this have to do with yeah like bits like i was like what does this have to do with that why is he here what's he doing oh okay the scene is gonna keep going oh okay sure like i don't hate it but i'm also like let's time is money let's move this along let's keep going but no i thought it was charming the monkey just i swear the monkey elevated this movie like 50 like it just increased the quality so much i was literally crying laughing during the monkey scene and then the fact that the monkey stuck around and the monkey saved the day i was like okay this is like this is why it's in the criterion collection uh i can't agree more just just a great movie and yeah yeah that animal is not there just for a gag that animal serves a a real role in the story they make it really rewarding that's that'll do it for today uh be sure to watch your your classic early films in history because they are great and we all found it funny and enjoyable and entertaining tristan you want to give us our send off thanks for coming to this meeting um oh no we don't have snacks today you guys i can't think of a bit so we don't have snacks today i'm sorry goodbye

Ice Fishing for Walleye on Reefs: Cover Water with the Lindy Quiver Spoon - Lindy Fishing Tackle
there we go all right i'm out here doing some reef fishing and what i look for when i'm refishing is i look for anything that would hold fish a little bump a little hump one real good spot is the edge of the reef where the rock hits the sand or the mud there's a decent eater there all right there we go perfect so what i'm sitting on here is i found uh i found a little hump this this reef most of the reef is about 20 feet and i found a couple bumps on it that are coming up to about 23 feet so that's what i'm sitting on right now and it seems to be holding plenty of walleyes one of my favorite spots to fish on the reef like i said before was the uh the area right um [Music] right at the edges of the reef where the rock hits the sand or the mud that transition all the way around the reef that's a super good spot to fish there's a nice eye right there i'm gonna let him go the lure i got on is the quiver spoon i'm using a gold quiver spoon right now uh the reason i'm using this is because so these spots um are generally only you know five to ten feet they're not real big spots i'm fishing and with this quiver spoon when i let it down it'll flutter way out to the side and it'll flood our way up to this side and i'll kind of cover that whole five to ten foot area um where i'm fishing so you can cover a little bit more water and kind of hit that whole spot at once so uh if you're out fishing reefs make sure to bounce around that reef a bunch find different little features in the reefs humps and bumps the edges are real good high spots low spots anything that might hold fish or hold bait fish next time we're out on the reef try looking for the spot on the spot

President Reagan Remarks declaring the National Andrei Sakharov Day on May 18, 1983
a brilliant scientist dissenter and defender of human rights Andrei Sakharov has been called by the Nobel Committee the conscience of mankind Andrei Sakharov has chosen a life of conscience explaining why with these simple words I felt that I did not have the right to keep silent the bold and penetrating voice of Andrei Sakharov is now in danger of being stilled not only as he denied the his freedom but his health is endangered jeopardized by constant harassment and by the lack of decent medical attention that's why we've gathered here to honor him to acknowledge the world's debt to him and to do all in our power to prevent him from being silenced members of the Congress who passed this resolution like all of you who are here are our individuals of greatly differing backgrounds and persuasions we're especially pleased to have with us today mr. sakharova's daughter Tatiana and the son-in-law Ephraim as one of the congressional sponsors of this resolution senators Dole and Moynihan and representative Kemp unfortunately representative Solaris couldn't be here with us but other members of the Congress are here as supporters of this proclamation the diversity of this distinguished group is testimony to the appeal of Andrei Sakharov life it's also a tribute to the majesty of his principles the principles he stands for it but Andrei Sakharov voice is not just the solitary voice of principle of one man with courage it is also the free voice of his people a great good and noble people who long for freedom and just ruled Andrei Sakharov speaks for those in the Soviet Union and elsewhere who yearn for fulfillment of their human right no one knows this better than those who now attempt to stifle his spirit to silence him rulers of totalitarian States however great the danger that they pose to the rest of mankind are aware of the shakiness of their rule and the fragility of their claims of legitimacy and that's why they seek to stifle dissent and that's why we must never stand by in silence as they do the words of Andrei Sakharov that I quoted earlier remind us that speaking the truth is more than a right or privilege it's an obligation and a duty in this we must follow his lead so today we bear witness to these truths that Andrei Sakharov is a man of uncommon courage and decency and that all who value freedom and human dignity must speak out now in his defense and in his behalf today we call upon the Soviet leaders to give Andrei Sakharov his freedom the world needs his learning his wisdom his nobility in observing national Andray Sakharov day May 21st we urge the American people and all the peoples of the world to speak for him for in doing so we speak for ourselves for all mankind and for all that is good and Noble in the human spirit and I shall now sign this Proclamation with great pleasure [Music] the president wasn't pressed glass shop was president Fox on some substation we're right pressure to make instead of pleasure for me to be Tuesday thank you very much sir this place thank you Chris thankfully no special [Applause]

Phineas Redux | Anthony Trollope | Historical Fiction, Romance, Suspense, Espionage | 6/14
chapter 29 of phineas redux this is a librivox recording all librivox recordings are in the public domain for more information or to volunteer please visit librivox.org recording by francis marcinkiewicz phineas redux by anthony trollope chapter 29 the spooner correspondent it will be remembered that adelaide palacer had accepted the hand of mr maul jr and that she and lady chiltern between them had dispatched him up to london on an embassy to his father in which he failed very signally it had been originally lady chiltern's idea that the proper home for the young couple would be the ancestral hall which must be there some day and in which with exceeding prudence they might be able to live as malls of maul abbey upon the very limited income which would belong to them how slight were the grounds for imputing such stern prudence to gerrard mall both the ladies felt but it had become essential to do something the young people were engaged to each other and a manner of life must be suggested discussed and as far as possible arranged lady chiltern was useful at such work having a practical turn of mind and understanding well the condition of life for which it was necessary that her friend should prepare herself the lover was not vicious he neither drank nor gambled nor ran himself hopelessly in debt he was good humored and tractable and docile enough when nothing disagreeable was asked from him he would have he said no objection to live at mall abbey if adelaide liked it he didn't believe much in farming but would consent at adelaide's request to be the owner of bullocks he was quite ready to give up hunting having already taught himself to think that the very few good runs in a season were hardly worth the trouble of getting up before daylight all the winter he went forth therefore on his embassy and we know how he failed another lover would have communicated the disastrous tidings at once to the lady but gerard maul waited a week before he did so and then told his story in half a dozen words the governor cut up rough about maul abby and will not hear of it he generally does cut up rough but he must be made to hear of it said lady chiltern two days afterwards the news reached harrington of the death of the duke of omnium a letter of unofficial nature reached adelaide from mr father gill in which the writer explained that he had been desired by mr palaser to communicate to her and the relatives the sad tidings so the poor old man has gone at last said lady chiltern with that affectation of funeral gravity which is common to all of us poor old duke said adelaide i have been hearing of him as a sort of bug bear all my life i don't think i ever saw him but once and then he gave me a kiss and a pair of earrings he never paid any attention to us at all but we were taught to think that providence had been very good to us in making the duke our uncle he was very rich horribly rich i have always heard won't he leave you something it would be very nice now that you are engaged to find that he has given you five thousand pounds very nice indeed but there is not a chance of it it has always been known that everything is to go to the air papa had his fortune and spent it he and his brother were never friends and though the duke did once give me a kiss i imagine that he forgot my existence immediately afterwards so the duke of omnium is dead said lord chilton when he came home that evening adelaide has had a letter to tell her so this afternoon mr father gill wrote to me said adelaide the man who is so wicked about the foxes i don't care a straw about mr father gill and now my mouth is closed against your uncle but it's quite frightful to think that a duke of omnium must die like anybody else the duke is dead long live the duke said lady chilton i wonder how mr palacer will like it men always do like it i suppose said adelaide women do said lord chiltern lady glenn cora will be delighted to reign though i can hardly fancy her by any other name by the by adelaide i have got a letter for you a letter for me lord chilton well yes i suppose i had better give it you it is not addressed to you but you must answer it what on earth is it i think i can guess said lady chill turn laughing she had guessed rightly but adelaide palacer was still all together in the dark when lord chilton took a letter from his pocket and handed it to her as he did so he left the room and his wife followed him i shall be upstairs adelaide if you want advice said lady chiltern the letter was from mr spooner he had left harrington hall after the uncourteous reception which had been accorded to him by miss palacer in deep disgust resolving that he would never again speak to her and almost resolving that spoon hall should never have a mistress in his time but with his wine after dinner his courage came back to him and he began to reflect once more that it is not the habit of young ladies to accept their lovers at the first offer there was living with mr spooner at this time a very attached friend whom he usually consulted in all emergencies and to whom on this occasion he opened his heart mr edward spooner commonly called ned by all who knew him and not unfrequently so addressed by those who did not was a distant cousin of the squires who unfortunately had no particular income of his own for the last 10 years he had lived at spoon hall and had certainly earned his bread the squire had achieved a certain credit for success as a country gentleman nothing about his place was out of order his own farming which was extensive succeeded his bullocks and sheep won prizes his horses were always useful and healthy his tenants were solvent if not satisfied and he himself did not owe a shilling now many people in the neighborhood attributed all this to the judicious care of mr edward spooner whose eye was never off the place and whose discretion was equal to his zeal in giving the squire his due one must acknowledge that he recognized the merits of his cousin and trusted him in everything that night as soon as the customary bottle of claire had succeeded the absolutely normal bottle of port after dinner mr spooner of spoon hall opened his heart to his cousin i shall have to walk then said ned not if i know it said the squire you don't suppose i'm going to let any woman have the command of spoon hall they do command inside you know no woman shall ever turn you out of this house ned i'm not thinking of myself tom said the cousin of course you'll marry someday and of course i must take my chance i don't see why it shouldn't be miss palacer as well as another the jade almost made me angry i suppose that's the way with most of them looted exaltim metwike tanjii ferned spooner had himself preserved some few tattered shreds of learning from his school days you don't remember about the philly yes i do very well said the squire and nuptiarum experes that's what it is i suppose try it again the advice on the part of the cousin was genuine and unselfish that mr spooner of spoon hall should be rejected by a young lady without any fortune seem to him to be impossible at any rate it is the duty of a man in such circumstances to persevere as far as ned knew the world ladies always required to be asked a second or a third time and then no harm can come from such perseverance she can't break your bones tom there was much honesty displayed on this occasion the squire when he was thus instigated to persevere did his best to describe the manner in which he had been rejected his powers of description were not very great but he did not conceal anything willfully she was as hard as nails you know i don't know that that means much horus has philly kicked a few no doubt she told me that if i'd go one way she'd go the other they always say about the hardest things that come to their tongues they don't curse and swear as we do or there'd be no bearing them if you really like her she's such a well-built creature there's a look of blood about her i don't see in any of them that sort of breeding is what one wants to get through the mud with then it was that the cousin recommended a letter to lord chilton lord chilton was at the present moment to be regarded as the ladies guardian and was the lover's intimate friend a direct proposal had already been made to the young lady and this should now be repeated to the gentleman who for the time stood in the position of her father the squire for a while hesitated declaring that he was averse to make his secret known to lord chilton one doesn't want every fellow in the country to know it he said but in answer to this the cousin was very explicit there could be but little doubt that lord chilton knew the secret already and he would certainly be rather induced to keep it as a secret than to divulge it if it were communicated to him officially and what other step could the squire take it would not be likely that he should be asked again to harrington hall with the express view of repeating his offer the cousin was quite of opinion that a written proposition should be made and on that very night the cousin himself wrote out a letter for the squire to copy in the morning on the morning the squire copied the letter not without additions of his own as to which he had very many words with his discreet cousin and in a formal manner handed it to lord chilton towards the afternoon of that day having devoted his whole morning to the finding of a proper opportunity for doing so lord chilton had read the letter and had as we see delivered it to adelaide palacer that's another proposal from mr spooner lady chiltern said as soon as they were alone exactly that i knew he'd go on with it men are such fools i don't see that he's a fool at all said lord chilton almost in anger why shouldn't he ask a girl to be his wife he's a rich man and she hasn't got a farthing you might say the same of a butcher oswald mr spooner is a gentleman you do not mean to say that he's fit to marry such a girl as adelaide palacer i don't know what makes fitness he's got a red nose and if she don't like a red nose that's unfitness gerard maul's nose isn't red and i dare say therefore he's fitter only unfortunately he has no money adelaide palacer would no more think of marrying mr spooner then you would have thought of marrying the cook if i had liked the cook i should have asked her and i don't see why mr spooner shouldn't ask miss palacer she didn't take him in the meantime miss palacer was reading the following letter spoon hall 11th march 18 my dear lord chiltern i venture to suppose that at present you are acting as the guardian of miss palacer who has been staying at your house all the winter if i am wrong in this i hope you will pardon me and consent to act in that capacity for this occasion i entertain feelings of the greatest admiration and warmest affection for the young lady i have named which i ventured to express when i had the pleasure of staying at harrington hall in the early part of last month i cannot boast that i was received on that occasion with much favor but i know that i am not very good at talking and we are told in all the books that no man has a right to expect to be taken at the first time of asking perhaps miss palacer will allow me through you to request her to consider my proposal with more deliberation than was allowed to me before when i spoke to her perhaps within judicious hurry so far the squire adopted his cousin's words without alteration i am the owner of my own property which is more than everybody can say my income is nearly four thousand pounds a year i shall be willing to make any proper settlement that may be recommended by the lawyers though i am strongly of opinion that an estate shouldn't be crippled for the sake of the widow as to refurnishing the old house and all that i'll do anything that miss palace or may please she knows my taste about hunting and i know hers so that there need not be any difference of opinion on that score miss palace or can't suspect me of any interested motives i come forward because i think she is the most charming girl i ever saw and because i love her with all my heart i haven't got very much to say for myself but if she'll consent to be the mistress of spoonhole she shall have all that the heart of a woman can desire pray believe me my dear lord chilton yours very sincerely thomas platter spooner as i believe that miss palacer is fond of books it may be well to tell her that there is an uncommon good library at spoon hall i shall have no objection to go abroad for the honeymoon for three or four months in the summer the post script was the squire's own and was inserted in opposition to the cousin's judgment she won't come for the sake of the books said the cousin but the squire thought that the attractions should be piled up i wouldn't talk of the honeymoon till i'd got her to come around a little said the cousin the squire thought that the cousin was falsely delicate and pleaded that all girls like to be taken abroad when they're married the second half of the body of the letter was very much disfigured by the squire's petulance so that the modesty with which he commenced was almost put to the blush by a touch of arrogance in the conclusion that sentence in which the squire declared that an estate ought not to be crippled for the sake of the widow was very much questioned by the cousin such a word as widow never ought to go into such a letter as this but the squire protested that he would not be mealy-mouthed she can bear to think of it i'll go bail and why shouldn't she hear about what she can think about don't talk about furniture yet tom the cousin said but the squire was obstinate and the cousin became hopeless that word about loving her with all his heart was the cousin's own but what followed as to her being mistress of spoon whole was altogether opposed to his judgment she'll be proud enough of spoon hall if she comes here said the squire i'd let her come first said the cousin we all know that the phraseology of the letter was of no importance whatever when it was received the lady was engaged to another man and she regarded mr spooner of spoon hall as being guilty of unpardonable impudence in approaching her at all a red-faced vulgar old man who looks as if he did nothing but drink she said to lady chilton he does you no harm my dear but he does do harm he makes things very uncomfortable he has no business to think it possible people will suppose that i gave him encouragement i used to have lovers coming to me year after year the same people whom i don't think i ever encouraged but i never felt angry with them but you didn't have mr spooner mr spooner didn't know me in those days or there's no saying what might have happened then lady chilton argued the matter on views directly opposite to those which she had put forward when discussing the matter with her husband i always think that any man who is privileged to sit down to table with you is privileged to ask there are disparities of course which may make the privilege questionable disparities of age rank and means and of tastes said adelaide i don't know about that a poet doesn't want to marry a poetess nor a philosopher a philosopherus a man may make himself a fool by putting himself in the way of certain refusal but i take it the broad rule is that a man may fall in love with any lady who habitually sits in his company i don't agree with you at all what would be said if the curette at long royston were to propose to one of the fitzhoward girls the duchess would probably ask the duke to make the young man a bishop out of hand and the duke would have to spend a morning in explaining to her the changes which have come over the making of bishops since she was young there is no other rule that you can lay down and i think that girls should understand that they have to fight their battles subject to that law it's very easy to say no but a man won't take no and it's lucky for us sometimes that they don't said lady chilton remembering certain passages in her early life the answer was written that night by lord chilton after much consultation as to the nature of the answer that it should be a positive refusal of course there could be no doubt but then arose a question whether a reason should be given or whether the refusal should be simply a refusal at last it was decided that a reason should be given and the letter ran as follows my dear mr spooner i am commissioned to inform you that miss palacer is engaged to be married to mr gerard mull yours faithfully chiltern the young lady had consented to be thus explicit because it had been already determined that no secret should be kept as to her future prospects he is one of those poverty-stricken weedling fellows that one meets about the world every day said the squire to his cousin a fellow that rides horses that he can't pay for and owes some poor devil of a tailor for the breaches that he sits in they eat and drink and get along heaven only knows how but they're sure to come to smash at last girls are such fools nowadays i don't think there has ever been much difference in that said the cousin because a man greases his whiskers and colors his hair and paints his eyebrows and wears kid gloves by george they'll go through fire and water after him he'll never marry her so much the better for her but i hate such impudence what right has a man to come forward in that way who hasn't got a house over his head or the means of getting one old maul is so hard up that he can barely get a dinner at his club in london what i wonder at is that lady chilton shouldn't know better end of chapter 29 chapter 30 of phineas redux this is a librivox recording all librivox recordings are in the public domain for more information or to volunteer please visit librivox.org recording by francis marcin cabbage phineas redux by anthony trollope chapter regrets madam gossler remained unmatching till after the return of mr palaser or as we must now call him the duke of omnium from gatherham castle and was therefore able to fight her own battle with him respecting the gems and the money which had been left her he brought to her with his own hands the single ring which she had requested and placed it on her finger the goldsmith will soon make that all right she said when it was found to be much too large for the largest finger on which she could wear a ring a bit shall be taken out but i will not have it reset you got the lawyer's letter and the inventory madam gossler yes indeed what surprises me is that the dear old man should never have spoken of so magnificent a collection of gems orders have been given that they shall be packed they may be packed or unpacked of course as your grace pleases but prey do not connect me with the packing you must be connected with it but i wish not to be connected with it duke i have written to the lawyer to renounce the legacy and if your grace persists i must employ a lawyer of my own to renounce them after some legal form pray do not let the case be sent to me or there will be so much trouble and we shall have another great jewel robbery i won't take it in and i won't have the money and i will have my own way lady glenn will tell you that i can be very obstinate when i please lady glenn cora had told him so already she had been quite sure that her friend would persist in her determination as to the legacy and had thought that her husband should simply accept madam gossler's assurances to that effect but a man who had been chancellor of the exchequer could not deal with money or even with jewels so lightly he assured his wife that such an arrangement was quite out of the question he remarked that property was property by which he meant to intimate that the real owner of substantial wealth could not be allowed to disembarrass himself of his responsibilities or strip himself of his privileges by a few generous but idle words the late duke's will was a very serious thing and it seemed to the air that this abandoning of a legacy bequeathed by the duke was a making light of the duke's last act and deed to refuse money in such circumstances was almost like refusing rain from heaven or warmth from the sun it could not be done the things were her property and though she might of course chuck them into the street they would no less be hers but i won't have them duke said madam gossler and the late chancellor of the exchequer found that no proposition made by him in the house had ever been received with a firmer opposition his wife told him that nothing he could say would be of any avail and rather ridiculed his idea of the solemnity of wills you can't make a person take a thing because you write it down on a thick bit of paper any more than if you gave it her across a table i understand it all of course she means to show that she didn't want anything from the duke as she refused the name and title she won't have the money in jewels you can't make her take them and i'm quite sure you can't talk her over the young duke was not persuaded but had to give the battle up at any rate for the present on the 19th of march madame gossler returned to london having been at matching priory for more than three weeks on her journey back to park lane many thoughts crowded on her mind had she upon the whole done well in reference to the duke of omnium the last three years of her life had been sacrificed to an old man with whom she had not in truth possessed ought in common she had persuaded herself that there had existed a warm friendship between them but of what nature could have been a friendship with one whom she had not known till he had been in his dotage what words of the duke's speaking had she ever heard with pleasure except certain terms of affection which had been half malkish and half senile she had told phineas finn while riding home with him from broten spinneys that she had clung to the duke because she loved him but what had there been to produce such love the duke had begun his acquaintance with her by insulting her and had then offered to make her his wife this which would have conferred upon her some tangible advantages such as rank and wealth and a great name she had refused thinking that the price to be paid for them was too high and that life might even yet have something better in store for her after that she had permitted herself to become after a fashion head nurse to the old man and in that pursuit had wasted three years of what remained to her of her youth people at any rate should not say of her that she had accepted payment for the three years service by taking a casket of jewels she would take nothing that should justify any man in saying that she had been enriched by her acquaintance with the duke of omnium it might be that she had been foolish but she would be more foolish still were she to accept a reward for her folly as it was there had been something of romance in it though the romance of friendship at the bedside of a sick and selfish old man had hardly been satisfactory even in her close connection with the present duchess there was something which was almost hollow had there not been a compact between them never expressed but not the less understood had not her dear friend lady glenn agreed to bestow upon her support fashion and all kinds of worldly good things on condition that she never married the old duke she had liked lady glenn cora had enjoyed her friend's society and had been happy in her friend's company but she had always felt that lady glenn cora's attraction to herself had been simply on the score of the duke it was necessary that the duke should be pampered and kept in good humor an old man let him be ever so old can do what he likes with himself and his belongings to keep the duke out of harm's way lady glenn cora had opened her arms to madam gossler such at least was the interpretation which madame gossler chose to give to the history of the last three years they had not she thought quite understood her when once she had made up her mind not to marry the duke the duke had been safe from her as his jewels and money should be safe now that he was dead three years had passed by and nothing had been done of that which she had intended to do three years had passed which to her with her desires were so important and yet she hardly knew what were her desires and had never quite defined her intentions she told herself on this very journey that the time had now gone by and that in losing these three years she had lost everything as yet so she declared to herself now the world had done but little for her two old men had loved her one had become her husband and the other had asked to become so and to both she had done her duty to both she had been grateful tender and self-sacrificing from the former she had as his widow taken wealth which she valued greatly but the wealth alone had given her no happiness from the latter and from his family she had accepted a certain position some persons high in repute and fashion had known her before but everybody knew her now and yet what had all this done for her dukes and duchesses dinner parties and drawing rooms what did they all amount to what was it that she wanted she was ashamed to tell herself that it was love but she knew this that it was necessary for her happiness that she should devote herself to someone all the elegancies and outward charms of life were delightful if only they could be used as the means to some end as an end to themselves they were nothing she had devoted herself to this old man who was now dead and there had been moments in which she had thought that that sufficed but it had not sufficed and instead of being borne down by grief at the loss of her friend she found herself almost rejoicing at relief from a vexatious burden had she been a hypocrite then was it her nature to be false after that she reflected whether it might not be best for her to become a devotee it did not matter much in what branch of the christian religion so that she could assume some form of faith the sour strictness of the confident calvinist or the asceticism of saint francis might suit her equally if she could only believe in calvin or in saint francis she had tried to believe in the duke of omnium but there she had failed there had been a saint at whose shrine she thought she could have worshipped with a constant and happy devotion but that saint had repulsed her from his altar mr mull senior not understanding much of all this but still understanding something thought that he might perhaps be the saint he knew well that audacity in asking is a great merit in a middle-aged wor he was a good deal older than the lady who in spite of all her experiences was hardly yet thirty but then he was he felt sure very young for his age whereas she was old she was a widow he was a widower she had a house in town and an income he had a place in the country and an estate she knew all the dukes and duchesses and he was a man of family she could make him comfortably opulent he could make her mrs maul of maul abbey she no doubt was good looking mr maul senior as he tied on his crevant thought that even in that respect there was no great disparity between them considering his own age mr mahl senior thought there was not perhaps a better looking man than himself about palmol he was a little stiff in the joints and moved rather slowly but what was wanting in suppleness was certainly made up in dignity he watched his opportunity in calden park lane on the day after madam gossler's return there was already between them an amount of acquaintance which justified his calling and perhaps there had been on the ladies part something of that cordiality of manner which is want to lead to intimate friendship mr maul had made himself agreeable and madame gossler had seemed to be grateful he was admitted and on such an occasion it was impossible not to begin the conversation about the dear duke mr maul could afford to talk about the duke and to lay aside for a short time his own cause as he had not suggested to himself the possibility of becoming pressingly tender on his own behalf on this particular occasion audacity in wooing is a great virtue but a man must measure even his virtues i heard that you had gone to matching as soon as the poor duke was taken ill he said she was in mourning and had never for a moment thought of denying the peculiarity of the position she had held in reference to the old man she could not have been content to wear her ordinary colored garments after sitting so long by the side of the dying men a hired nurse may do so but she had not been then if there had been hypocrisy in her friendship the hypocrisy must be maintained to the end poor old man i only came back yesterday i never had the pleasure of knowing his grace said mr mull but i have always heard him named as a nobleman of whom england might well be proud madam gossler was not at the moment inclined to tell lies on the matter and did not think that england had much cause to be proud of the duke of omnium he was a man who held a very peculiar position she said most peculiar a man of infinite wealth and of that special dignity which i am sorry to say so many men of rank among us are throwing aside as a garment which is too much for them we can all wear coats but it is not everyone that can carry a robe the duke carried his to the last madame gossler remembered how he looked with his night cap on when he had lost his temper because they would not let him have a glass of curacao i don't know that we have anyone left that can be said to be his equal continued mr mull no one like him perhaps he was never married you know but was once willing to marry said mr mull if all that we hear be true madam gossler without a smile and equally without a frown looked as though the meaning of mr maul's words had escaped her a grand old gentleman i don't know that anybody will ever say as much for his heir the men are very different very different indeed i dare say that mr palaser as mr palacer has been a useful man but so is a coal heave or a useful man the grace and beauty of life will be clean gone when we all become useful men i don't think we are near that yet upon my word madam gossler i am not so sure about it here are sons of noblemen going into trade on every side of us we have earls dealing in butter and marquises sending their peaches to market there was nothing of that kind about the duke a great fortune had been entrusted to him and he knew that it was his duty to spend it he did spend it and all the world looked up to him it must have been a great pleasure to you to know him so well madam gossler was saved the necessity of making any answer to this by the announcement of another visitor the door was opened and phineas finn entered the room he had not seen madame gossler since they had been together at harrington hall and had never before met mr mull when riding home with the lady after their unsuccessful attempt to jump out of the wood phineas had promised to call in park lane whenever he should learn that madam gossler was not at matching since that the duke had died and the bond with matching no longer existed it seemed but the other day that they were talking about the duke together and now that duke was gone i see you are in mourning said phineas as he still held her hand i must say one word to condole with you for your lost friend mr mull and i were now speaking of him she said as she introduced the two gentlemen mr finn and i had the pleasure of meeting your son at harrington hall a few weeks since mr mull i heard that he had been there did you know the duke mr finn after the fashion in which such a one as i would know such a one as the duke i knew him he probably had forgotten my existence he never forgot anyone said madam gossler i don't know that i was ever introduced to him continued mr mull and i shall always regret it i was telling madam gossler how profound a reverence i had for the duke's character phineas bowed and madame gossler who is becoming tired of the duke as a subject of conversation asked some question as to what had been going on in the house mr mull finding it to be improbable that he should be able to advance his cause on that occasion took his leave the moment he was gone madame gossler's manner changed altogether she left her former seat and came near to phineas sitting on a sofa close to the chair he occupied and as she did so she pushed her hair back from her face in a manner that he remembered well in former days i am so glad to see you she said is it not odd that he should have gone so soon after what we were saying but the other day you thought then that he would not last long long is comparative i did not think he would be dead within six weeks or i should not have been riding there he was a burden to me mr finn i can understand that and yet i shall miss him sorely he had given all the color to my life which it possessed it was not very bright but still it was color the house will be opened to you just the same i shall not go there i shall see lady glencore in town of course but i shall not go to matching and as to gatherum castle i would not spend another week there if they would give it me you haven't heard of his will no not a word i hope he remembered you to mention your name you hardly wanted more just so i wanted no more than then it was made perhaps before you knew him he was always making it and always altering it he left me money and jewels of enormous value i am so glad to hear it but i have refused to take anything am i not right i don't know why you should refuse there are people who will say that i was his mistress if a woman be young a man's age never prevents such scandal i don't know that i can stop it but i can perhaps make it seem to be less probable and after all that has passed i could not bear that the palaceours should think that i clung to him for what i could get i should be easier this way whatever is best to be done you will do it i know that your praise goes beyond the mark my friend i can be both generous and discreet but the difficulty is to be true i did take one thing a black diamond that he always wore i would show it you but the goldsmith has it to make it fit me when does the great affair come off at the house the bill will be read again on monday the first what an unfortunate day you remember young mr mull is he not like his father and yet in manners they are as unlike as possible what is the father phineas asked a battered old bow about london selfish and civil pleasant and penniless and i should think utterly without a principle come again soon i am so anxious to hear that you are getting on and you have got to tell me all about that shooting with the pistol phineas as he walked away thought that madame gossler was handsomer even than she used to be end of chapter 30 chapter 31 of phineas redux this is a librivox recording all librivox recordings are in the public domain for more information or to volunteer please visit librivox.org recording by leanne howlett phineas redux by anthony trollope chapter 31 the duke and duchess in town at the end of march the duchess of omnium never more to be called lady glencora by the world at large came up to london the duke though he was now banished from the house of commons was nevertheless wanted in london and what funeral ceremonies were left might be accomplished as well in town as at matching priory no old ministry could be turned out and no new ministry formed without the assistance of the young duchess it was a question whether she should not be asked to be mistress of the robes though those who asked it knew very well that she was the last woman in england to hamper herself by dependence on the court up to london they came and though of course they went into no society the house in carleton gardens was continually thronged with people who had some special reason for breaking the ordinary rules of etiquette and their desire to see how lady glencora carried herself as duchess of omnian do you think she's altered much said espacia fitzgibbon an elderly spenster the daughter of lord clara and sister of lawrence fitzgibbon member for one of the western irish counties i don't think she was quite so loud as she used to be mrs bonteen was of opinion that there was a change she was always uncertain you know and would scratch like a cat if you offended her and won't she scratch now asked miss fitzgibbon i'm afraid she'll scratch often her it was always a trick of hers to pretend to think nothing of rank but she values her place as highly as any woman in england this was mrs bonteen's opinion but lady baldock who was present differed this lady baldock was not the mother but the sister-in-law of that augusta borum who had lately become sister veronica john i don't believe it said lady baldock she always seems to me to be like a great school girl who has been allowed too much of her own way i think people give way to her too much you know as lady baldock was herself the wife of a peer she naturally did not stand so much in awe of a duchess as did mrs bonteen or miss fitzgibbon have you seen the young duke asked mr rattler of barrington earl yes i have been with him this morning how does he like it he's bothered out of his life as a hin would be if you were to throw her into water he's so shy he hardly knows how to speak to you and he broke down altogether when i said something about the lords he'll not do much more i don't know about that said earl he'll get used to it and go into harness again he's a great deal too good to be lost he didn't give himself heirs what plenty powell if i know anything of a man he's not the man to do that because he's a duke he can hold his own against all comers and always could quiet as he always seemed he knew who he was and who other people were i don't think you'll find much difference in him when he has got over the annoyance mr rattler however was of a different opinion mr rattler had known many docile members of the house of commons who had become peers by the death of uncles and fathers and who had lost all respect for him as soon as they were released from the crack of the whip mr rattler rather despised peers who had been members of the house of commons and who passed by inheritance from a scene of unparalleled use and influence to one of idle and luxurious dignity soon after their arrival in london the duchess wrote the following very characteristic letter dear lord chilton mr palaser then having begun with a mistake she scratched the word through with her pen the duke has asked me to write about trumpton wood as he knows nothing about it and i know just as little but if you say what you want it shall be done shall we get foxes and put them there or ought there to be a special fox keeper you mustn't be angry because the poor old duke was too feeble to take notice of the matter only speak and it shall be done yours faithfully glencora oh madame giesler spoke to me about it but at that time we were in trouble the answer was his characteristic dear duchess of omnium thanks what is wanted is that keepers should know that there are to be foxes when keepers know that foxes are really expected there always are foxes the men laterally have known just the contrary it is all a question of shooting i don't mean to say a word against the late duke when he got old the thing became bad no doubt it will be right now faithfully yours children our hounds have been poisoned and trumped in wood this would never have been done had not the keepers been against the hunting upon receipt of this she sent the letter to mr father gill with a request that there might be no more shooting in trumpton wood i'll be shot if we'll stand that you know said mr father gill to one of his underlings there are 250 acres in trumpton wood and we're never to kill another pheasant because lord chiltran is master of the breakhounds property won't be worth having at that rate the duke by no means intended to abandon the world of politics or even the narrower sphere of ministerial work because he had been ousted from the house of commons and from the possibility of filling the office which he had best liked this was proved to the world by the choice of his house for a meeting of the party on the 30th of march as it happened this was the very day on which he and the duchess returned to london but nevertheless the meeting was held there and he was present at it mr gresham then repeated his reasons for opposing mr dabani's bill and declared that even while doing so he would with the approbation of his party pledge himself to bring in a bill somewhat to the same effect should he ever again find himself in power and he declared that he would do this solely with the view of showing how strong was his opinion that such a measure should not be left in the hands of the conservative party it was doubted whether such a political proposition had ever before been made in england it was a simple vowel that on this occasion men were to be regarded and not measures no doubt such is the case and ever has been the case with the majority of active politicians the double pleasure of pulling down an opponent and of raising oneself is the charm of a politician's life and by practice this becomes extended to so many branches that the delights and also the disappointments are very widespread great satisfaction is felt by us because by some lucky conjunction of affairs our man whom we never saw is made lord lieutenant of a county instead of another man of whom we know is little it is a great thing to us that sir samuel bobwig an excellent liberal is seated high on the bench of justice instead of that time-serving conservative sir alexander mcsilk men and not measures are no doubt the very life of politics but then it is not the fashion to say so in public places mr gresham was determined to introduce that fashion on the present occasion he did not think very much of mr dabani's bill so he told his friends at the duke's house the bill was full of faults went too far in one direction and not far enough in another it was not difficult to pick holes in the bill but the sin of sins consisted in this that it was to be passed if passed at all by the aid of men who would send against their consciences by each vote they gave in its favor what but treachery could be expected from an army in which every officer and every private was called upon to fight against his convictions the meeting passed off with dissension and it was agreed that the house of commons should be called upon to reject the church bill simply because it was proposed from that side of the house on which the minority was sitting as there were more than 200 members present on the occasion by none of whom were any objections raised it seemed probable that mr gresham might be successful there was still however doubt in the minds of some men it's all very well said mr rattler but turnbull wasn't there you know but from what took place the next day but one in park lane it would almost seem that the duchess had been there she came at once to see madame giesler having very firmly determined that the duke's death should not have the appearance of interrupting her intimacy with her friend was it not very disagreeable asked madame giesler just the day you came to town we didn't think of that at all one is not allowed to think of anything now it was very improper of course because of the duke's death but that had to be put on one side and then it was quite contrary to etiquette that peers and commoners should be brought together i think there was some idea of making sure of plantagenet and so they all came and wore out our carpets there wasn't above a dozen piers but they were enough to show that all the old landmarks have been upset i don't think anyone would have objected if i had opened the meeting myself and called upon mrs bonteen to second me why mrs bonteen because next to myself she's the most talkative and political woman we have she was at our house yesterday and i'm not quite sure that she doesn't intend to cut me out we must put her down lady glenn perhaps she'll put me down now that we're half shelved the men did make such a racket and yet no one seemed to speak for two minutes except mr gresham who stood upon my pet footstool and kicked it almost to pieces was mr finn there everybody was there i suppose what makes you ask particularly about mr finn because he's a friend that's come up again has it he's the handsome irishman isn't he that came to matching the same day that brought you there he is an irishman and he wasn't matching that day he's certainly handsome what a day that was marie when one thinks of it all of all the perils and all the salvations how strange it is i wonder whether you would have liked it now if you were the dowager duchess i should have had some enjoyment i suppose i don't know that it would have done us any harm and yet how keen i was about it we can't give you the rank now and you won't take the money not the money certainly plantagenet says you'll have to take it but it seems to me he's always wrong there are so many things that one must do that one doesn't do he never perceives that everything gets changed every five years so mr finn is the favorite again he is a friend whom i like i may be allowed to have a friend i suppose a dozen my dear and all of them good looking goodbye dear pray come to us don't stand off and make yourself disagreeable we shan't be giving dinner parties but you can come whenever you please tell me at once do you mean to be disagreeable then madame giesler was obliged to promise that she would not be more disagreeable than her nature had made her end of chapter 31 recording by leanne howlett chapter 32 of phineas redux this is a librivox recording all librivox recordings are in the public domain for more information or to volunteer please visit librivox.org recording by simon evers finnish redux by anthony trollope chapter 32 the world becomes cold a great deal was said by very many persons in london as to the murderous attack which had been made by mr kennedy on phineas finn and judd street but the advice given by mr slide in the people's banner to the police was not taken no public or official inquiry was made into the circumstance mr kennedy under the care of his cousin retreated to scotland and and as it seemed there was to be an end of it throughout the month of march various smaller bolts were thrust both at phineas and at the police by the editor of the above named newspaper but they seemed to fall without much effect no one was put in prison nor was anyone ever examined but nevertheless these missiles had their effect everybody knew that there had been a row between mr kennedy and phineas finn and that the row had been made about mr kennedy's wife everybody knew that a pistol had been fired at finn's head and a great many people thought that there had been some cause for the assault it was alleged at one club that the present member for tankerville had spent the great part of the last two years at dresden and at another that he called on mr kennedy twice once down in scotland and once at the hotel in judd street with a view of inducing their gentleman to concede to a divorce there was also a very romantic story afloat as to an engagement which had existed between lady laura and phineas finn before the lady had been induced by her father to marry the richest suitor various details were given in corroboration of these stories was it not known that the earl had purchased the submission of phineas finn by a seat for his borough of lighten was it not known that lord chilton the brother of lady laura had fought a duel with phineas finn was it not known that mr kennedy himself had been as it were coerced into quiescence by the singular fact that he been saved from garathas in the street by the opportune interference of phineas finn it was even suggested that the scene with the garatas had been cunningly planned by phineas finn that he might in this way be able to restrain the anger of the husband of the lady whom he loved all these stories were very pretty but as the reader it is hoped knows they were all untrue phineas had made but one short visit to dresden in his life lady laura had been engaged to mr kennedy before finnish had even spoken to her of his love the duel with lord chilton had been about another lady and the seat at leighton had been conferred upon phineas chiefly on account of his prowess in extricating mr kennedy from the garages respecting which circumstance it may be said that as the meeting in the street was fortuitous the reward was greater than the occasion seemed to require while all the things things were being said finnish became something of a hero a man who is supposed to have caused a disturbance between two married people in a certain rank of life does generally receive a certain mead of admiration a man who is asked out to dinner twice a week before such rumors reflate would probably receive double that number of invitations afterwards and then to have been shot at by a madman in a room and to be the subject of the venom of a people's banner tends also to fame other ladies besides madame gerstler were anxious to have the story from the very lips of the hero and in this way phineas finn became a conspicuous man but fame begets envy and there were some who said that the member for tankerville had injured his prospects with his party it may be very well to give a dinner to a man who has caused the wife of a late cabinet minister to quarrel with her husband but it can hardly be expected that he should be placed in office by the head of the party to which that late cabinet minister belonged i never saw such a fellow as you are said barrington are to him you're always getting into a mess nobody ought to know better than you how false all these calumnies are this he said because earl and lady laura were cousins of course they're calumnies but you heard them before and what made you go poking your head into the land's mouth mr bontine was very much harder upon him than was barrington earl i never liked him from the first and always knew he would not run straight no irishman ever does this was said to fight count forn a distinguished member of the liberal party who had but lately been married and was known to have very strict notions as to the bonds of matrimony he'd been hurt to say that any man who would interfere with the happiness of a married couple should be held to have committed a capital offense i don't know whether the story about lady laura is true of course it's true all the world knows it's true he was always there at lochlintern at salisbury and in portland square after he'd left her husband the mischief he has done is incalculable there's a conservative sitting in portugal at his seat for dunrossia that might have been the case anyway and nothing could have turned kennedy out don't you remember how you behaved about the irish land question i hate such fellows you know i thought it true about lady laura lord form was again about to express his opinion in regard to matrimony but mr bond team was too impetuous to listen to him he's out of the question that he should come in again at any rate if he does i won't i should tell gresham so very plainly the women will do all that they can for him they always do for a fellow of that kind phineas heard of it not exactly by any repetition of the words that were spoken but by chance phrases and from the looks of men lord cantrip who was his best friend among those who were certain to hold high office in a liberal government did not talk to him cheerily did not speak as though he phineas would as a matter of course have some place assigned to him and he thought that mr gresham was hardly as cordial to him as he might be when they met in the closer intercourse of the house there was always a word or two spoken and sometimes a shaking of hands he had no right to complain but he knew that something was wanting we can generally read a man's purpose towards us in his manner if his purpose is of much moment to us phineas had written to lady laura giving her an account of the occurrence in judge street on the 1st of march and received from her a short answer by return of post it contained hardly more than a thanksgiving that his life had not been sacrificed and in a day or two she had written a game let him know that she determined to consult her father then on the last day of the month he received the following letter dressen march the 27th my dear friend at last we have resolved that we will go back to england almost at once things have gone so rapidly that i hardly know how to explain them all but that is papa's resolution his lawyer mr foster tells him that it will be best and goes so fast to say that it is imperative on my behalf that some steps should be taken to put an end to the present state of things i will not scruple to tell you that he is actuated chiefly by considerations as to money it is astonishing to me that a man who has all his life been so liberal should now in his old age think so much about it it is however in no degree for himself it is all for me he cannot bear to think that my fortune should be withheld from me by mr kennedy while i have done nothing wrong i was obliged to show him your letter and what you said about the control of money took hold of his mind at once he thinks that if my unfortunate husband be insane there could be no difficulty am i obtaining a separation on terms which would oblige him or his friends to restore this horrid money of course i could stay if i chose papa would not refuse to find a home for me here but i do agree with mr forces that something should be done to stop the tongues of ill-conditioned people the idea of having my name dragged through the newspapers is dreadful to me but if this must be done one way or the other it would be better that it should be done with truth there is nothing that i need fear as you know so well i cannot look forward to happiness anywhere if the question of separation were once settled i do not know whether i would not prefer returning here to remaining in london papa's got tired of the place and once he says to see saul he once again before he dies what can i say in answer to this but that i will go we have sent to have the house in portman square got ready for us and i suppose we should be there about the 15th of next month papa has instructed mr foster to tell mr kennedy's lawyers that we are coming and he is to find out if he can whether in any interference in the management of the property has been as yet made by the family perhaps i ought to tell you that mr foster has expressed a surprise that you did not call on the police when the shot was fired of course i can understand it all god bless you your affectionate friend l k phineas was obliged to console himself by reflecting that if she understood him of course that was everything his first and great duty in the matter had been to her if in performing that duty he had sacrificed himself he must bear his undeserved punishment like a man that he was to be punished he began to perceive too clearly the conviction of the mr dorby must recede from the treasury bench after the coming debate became every day stronger and within the little inner circles of the liberal party the usual discussions were made as to the ministry which mr gresham would as a matter of course be called upon to form but in these discussions phineas finn did not find himself taking an assured uncomfortable part lawrence fitzgibbon his countrymen who in the way of work had never been worth his salt was eager happy and without a doubt others of the old stages men who've been going in and out ever since they've been able to get seats in parliament stood about in clubs and in lobbies and chambers of the house with all that busy magpie air which is worn only by those who have high hopes of good things to come speedily lord mount thistle was more sublime and ponderous than ever though they who best understood the party declare that he would never again be invited to undergo the cares of office his lordship was one of those terrible political burdens engendered originally by private friendship or family considerations which one minister leaves to another sir gregory grogram the great whig lawyer showed plainly by his manner that he thought himself at last secure of reaching the reward for which he been struggling all his life for it was understood by all men who knew anything that lord weasling was not to be asked again to sit on the woolsack no better advocate or effective politician ever lived but it was supposed that he lacked dignity for the office of first judge in the land the most of the old lot would come back was a matter of course there would be the duke the duke of zambungai who've had for years past been the duke when liberal administration was discussed and the second duke whom we knew so well and sahari cold foot and leggy wilson lord cantrip lord thrift and the rest of them there would of course be lord thorne mr rattler and mr earl the thing was so thoroughly settled that one was almost tempted to think that the prime minister himself would have no voice in the selections to be made as to one office it was acknowledged on all sides that a doubt existed would at last be found to be very injurious as some thought almost crushing to the party to whom would mr gresham entrust the financial affairs of the country who would be the new chancellor of the exchequer there were not a few who inferred that mr bond team would be promoted to that high office during the last two years he devoted himself to decimal coinage with azeal only second to that displayed by plantagenet paniser and was accustomed to save himself they'd almost perished under his exertions it was supposed that he would have the support of the present duke of omnium and that mr gresham who disliked the man would be coerced by the fact that there was no other competitor that mr bontin should go into the cabinet would be gall and wormwood to many brother liberals but goal and wormwood such as this have to be swallowed the rising in life of our familiar friends is perhaps the bitterest morsel of the bitter bread which you're called upon to eat in life but we do eat it and after a while it becomes food to us when we find ourselves able to use on behalf perhaps of our children the influence of those whom he had once hoped to leave behind in the race of life when a man suddenly shoots up in power few suffer from it very acutely the rise of a pit can have caused no heart burning but mr pond bontine had been a hack among the hacks had phil the usual half dozen places had been a junior lord a vice president a deputy controller a chief commissioner and a joint secretary his hopes have been raised or a based among the places of one thousand pounds one thousand two hundred pounds or one thousand five hundred pounds a year he'd hit the two accommodated at two thousand pounds and have been supposed with diligence to have worked himself up to the top of the ladder as far as the ladder was accessible to him and now he was spoken of in connection with one of the highest officers of the state of course this created much uneasiness and gave rise to many prophecies of failure but in the midst of it all no office was assigned to phineas finn and there was a general feeling not expressed but understood that his affair with mr kennedy stood in his way quintus slide had undertaken to crush him could it be possible that so mean a man should be able to make good so monstrous a threat the man was very mean and the threat had been absurd as well as monstrous yet it seemed that it might be realized phineas was too proud to ask questions even of barrington earl but he felt that he was being left out in the cold because the editor of the people's banner had said that no government could employ him and at this moment on the very morning of the day which was to usher in the great debate which was to be so fatal to mr dorbany in his church reform another thunderbolt was hurled the we of the people's banner had learned that the very painful matter to which they had been compelled by a sense of duty to call the public attention in reference to the late member federosha and the present member for tankoville will be brought before one of the tribunals of the country in reference to the matrimonial differences between mr kennedy and his wife it would in the remembrance of their readers that the unfortunate gentleman had been provoked to fire a pistol at the head of the member for tankerville a circumstance which though publicly known had never been brought unto under the notice of the police there was reason to hope that the mystery might now be cleared up and that the ends of justice will demand that a certain document should be produced which they the we have been vexatiously restrained from giving to their readers although to be most carefully prepared for publication in the columns of the people's banner then the thunderbolt went on to say that there was evidently a great move among the members of the so-called liberal party who seem to think that it is only necessary that they should open their mouths wide enough in order the sweets of office should fall into them the we were quite of a different opinion the we believed that no minister for many a long day had been so firmly fixed on the treasury bench as was mr dormany at the present moment but this at any rate might be inferred that should miss aggression by any unhappy combination of circumstances be called upon to form a ministry it would be quite impossible for him to include within it the name of the member for tankerville this was the second great thunderbolt that fell and so did the work of crushing our poor friend proceed there was a great injustice in all this at least so phineas thought injustice not only from the hands of mr slide who was unjust as a matter of course but also from those who thought to have been his staunch friends he'd been enticed over to england almost with the promise of office and he was sure that he done nothing which deserved punishment or even censor he could not condescend to complain nor indeed as yet could he say that there was ground for complaint nothing had been done to him not a word had been spoken except those lying words in the newspapers which he was too proud to notice on one matter however he was determined to be firm when barrington earl had absolutely insisted that he should vote upon the church bill in opposition to all that he'd set up on the subject of tankerville he had stipulated that he should have an opportunity in the great debate which would certainly take place of explaining his conduct or in other words that the privilege of making a speech should be accorded to him at a time in which very many members would no doubt attempt to speak and would attempt in vain it may be imagined probably still is imagined by a great many that no such pledge as this could be given that the right to speak depends simply on the speaker's eye and that energy at the moment in attracting attention would alone be of account to an eagle orator but phineas knew the house too well to trust to such a theory that some preliminary assistance would be given to the travelling of the speaker's eye in so important to debate he knew very well and he knew also that a promise from barrington earl or for mr rattler would be his best security that'll be all right of course said barrington earl to him on the evening the day before the debate we've quite counted on your speaking there had been a certain sullenness in the tome with which finnish had asked his question as they been laboring under a grievance and he felt himself rebuked by the cordiality of the reply i suppose we better fix it for monday or tuesday said the other we hope to get it over by tuesday but there's no doing at any rate you shall be thrown over it was almost on his tongue the entire story of his grievance the expression of his feeling that he was not being treated as one of the chosen but he restrained himself he liked barrington earl well enough but not so well as to justify him in asking for sympathy nor had it been his warrant in any of the troubles of his life to ask for sympathy from a man he'd always gone to some woman in old days to lady laura ottawa at effingham or to madame gersler by them he could endure to be petted praised or upon occasion even pitted but pity or praise from any man had been distasteful to him on the morning of the first of april he again went to park lane not with any formed plan of telling the lady of his wrongs but driven by a feeling that he wanted comfort which might perhaps be found there the lady received him very kindly and at once inquired as to the great political tournament which was about to be commenced yes we begin today said phineas mr dorman will speak i should say from half past four till seven i wonder you don't go and hear him what a pleasure to hear a man speak for two hours and a half about the church of england one must be very heart driven for amusement would you tell me that you like it i like to hear a good speech but you have the excitement before you of making a good speech and answer you are in the fight a poor woman shut up in a cage feels there more acutely than anyone else how insignificant a position she feels in the world you don't advocate the rights of women madame gerstler oh no knowing our inferiority i submit without a grumble but i am not sure that i care to go and listen to the squabbles of my masters you may arrange it all among you and i will accept what you do whether it be good or bad as i must but i cannot take so much interest in the proceeding as to spend my time in listening where i cannot speak and in looking where i cannot be seen you will speak yes i think so i shall read your speech which is more than i should do for most of the others and when it is all over will your turn come not mine individually madame gersler but it will be yours individually would it not she asked with energy then gradually with half-pronounced sentences he explained to her that even in the event of the formation of a liberal government he did not expect that any place would be offered to him and why not we have been all speaking of it as a certainty he longed to inquire who were the all of whom she spoke but he could not do it rather out on egotism which would be distasteful to him i can hardly tell but i don't think i should be asked to join them you would wish it yes talking to you i do not see why i should hesitate to say so talking to me why should you hesitate to say anything about yourself that is true i can hold my tongue i do not gossip about my friends who's doing is it i do not know that it is any man's doing but it must be everybody said you were to be one of them if you could get the other people out is it mr bontine likely enough not that i know anything of the kind but as i hate him from the bottom of my heart it is natural to suppose that he has the same feeling in regards to me i agree with you there but i don't know that it comes from any feeding of that kind what does it come from you've all heard of all the calumny about lady laura kennedy you do not mean to say that a story such as that has affected your position i fancy it has but you must not suppose madame gerster that i mean to complain a man must take these things as they come no one has received more kindness from friends than i have and a few perhaps more favors from fortune all this about mr kennedy has been unlucky but it cannot be helped do you mean to say that the morals of your party will be offended said madame gersler almost laughing lord thorne you know is very particular in sober earnest one cannot tell how these things operate but they do operate gradually one's friends are sometimes very glad of an excuse for not befriending one lady laura is coming home yes that will put an end to it there is nothing to put an end to except the foul-mouthed malice of a lying newspaper nobody believes anything against lady laura i'm not so sure of that i believe nothing against her i'm sure you do not madame gersler nor do i think that anybody does it is too absurd for belief from beginning to end goodbye perhaps i shall see you when the debate is over of course you will goodbye and success to your oratory then madame gersta resolved that she would say a few judicious words to her friend the duchess respecting phineas finn end of chapter 32 recording by simon evers chapter 33 of phineas redux this is the librivox recording all librivox recordings are in the public domain for more information or to volunteer please visit librivox.org recording by simon evers finnish redux by anthony trollope chapter 33 the two gladiators the great debate was commenced with all the solemnities which are customary on such occasions and which make men think for the day that no moment of greater excitement has ever blessed or cursed the country upon the present occasion london was full of clergymen the specially clerical clubs the oxford and cambridge the old university and the athenaeum were black with them the bishops and deans as usual were pleasant in their manner and happy looking in spite of adverse circumstances when one sees a bishop in the house of the distress of the church one always thinks of the just and firm a man who will stand fearless while the ruins of the world are falling about his ears but the parsons from the country were a sorry sight to see they were in earnest with all their hearts and did believe not that the crack of doom was coming which they could have borne with equanimity if convinced that their influence would last to the end but that the evil one was to be made welcome upon the earth by act of parliament it was out of nature that any man should think it good that his own order should be repressed curtailed and deprived of its power if we go among cab drivers or letter carriers among butlers or game keepers among tailors or butchers among farmers or grazers among doctors or attorneys we shall find in each set of men a conviction for the welfare of the community depends upon the firmness which which they especially they hold their own this is so manifestly true with the bar that no barrister in practice scruples to avow that barristers in practice are the salt of the earth the personal confidence of a judge in his own position is beautiful being sanitary to the country they're not unfrequently damaging to the character of the man but if this be so with men who are conscious of no higher influence than that exercised over the bodies and minds of their fellow or layman who simply uses a cab or receives a letter or goes to law or has to be tried these pretensions are ridiculous or annoying according to the ascendancy of the pretender at the moment but as the clerical pretensions are more exacting than all others being put forward with an assertion that no answer is possible without breach of duty and sin so are they more galling the fight has been going on since the idea of a mitre first entered the heart of a priest since dominion in this world has found itself capable of sustaination by the exercise of fear as to the world to come we do believe the majority among us does so that if we live and die in sin we shall after some fashion come to great punishment and we believe also that by having pastors among us who shall be men of god we may best aid ourselves and our children in avoiding this bitter end but then the pastors and men of god can only be human cannot be altogether men of god and so they have oppressed us and burned us and tortured us and hence come to love palaces and fine linen and purple and alas sometimes mere luxury and idleness the torturing and the burning as also to speak truth the luxury and the idleness have among us been already conquered but the idea of ascendancy remains what is a thoughtful man to do who acknowledges the danger of his soul but cannot swallow his past and whole simply because he's been sent to him from some source in which he has no special confidence perhaps by some distant lord perhaps by a lord chancellor whose political friend has had a son with a tutor what is he to do when in spite of some fine linen and purple left among us the provision for a man of god in his parish or district is so poor that no man of god fitted to teach him will come and take it in no spirit of animosity's religion he begins to tell himself that church and state together was a monkish combination fit perhaps for monkish days but no longer having fitness and not much longer capable of existence in this country but to the person himself to the honest hard-working conscientious priest who does in his heart of hearts believe that no diminution in the general influence of his order can be made without ruined to the souls of men this opinion when it becomes dominant is as though the world were in truth breaking to pieces over his head the world has been broken to pieces in the same way often but extreme chaos does not come the cabin and the letter carrier always expect that chaos will very nearly come when they are disturbed the barristers are sure of chaos when the sanctity of benches is in question what utter chaos would be promised to us could anyone with impunity condemn the majesty of the house of commons but of all these chaoses there can be no chaos equal to that which in the mind of a zealous oxford bred constitutional country parson must attend that annihilation of his special condition which will be produced by the disestablishment of the church of all good fellows he is the best good fellow he is genial hospitable well-educated and always has either a pretty wife or pretty daughters but he has so extreme a belief in himself that he cannot endure to be told that absolute chaos will not come at once if he be disturbed and now disturbances hey are not a dislocation and ruin were to become from the hands of a friend was it wonderful that parsons should be seen about westminster in flocks with et tu brute written on my faces as plainly as the law on the browser of a pharisee the speaker been harassed for orders the powers and prowess of every individual member had been put to the test the galleries were crowded ladies places to be balloted for with four with desperate enthusiasm in spite of the sarcasm against the house which madame gerstler had expressed two royal princes and a royal duke were accommodated within the house in an irregular swarmed manner the passages and were too happy to find standing room bishops jostled against lay barons with no other preference than that afforded to them by their broader shoulders men and especially clergymen came to the galleries loaded with sandwiches and flasks prepared to hear all there was to be heard should the debate last from 4pm to the same hour on the following morning at two in the afternoon the entrances to the house were barred and men of all ranks deans prabhan's peers sons and baronets stood there patiently waiting till some powerful nobleman should let them through the very ventilating chambers under the house were filled with courteous listeners who had all pledged themselves that under no possible provocation would they even cough during the debate a few minutes after four in a house from which hardly more than a dozen members were absent mr dorby took his heat with that air of affected indifference to things around him which is peculiar to him he entered slowly amidst cheers from his side of the house which no doubt were allowed in proportion to the dismay of the cheerers as to the matter in hand gentlemen lacking substantial sympathy with their leader found it to be comfortable to deceive themselves and raise their hearts at the same time by the easy enthusiasm of noise mr norberty having sat down and covered his head just raised his hat from his brows and then tried to look as though he were no more than any other gentleman present but the peculiar consciousness of the man displayed itself even in his constrained absence of motion you could see that he felt himself to be the beheld of all beholders and that he enjoyed the position with some slight inward trepidation lest the effort to be made should not equal the greatness of the occasion immediately after him mr gresham bustled up the center of the house amidst a roar of good human welcome we've had many ministers who've been personally dearer to their individual adherence in the house than the present lead of the opposition and late premiere but none perhaps has been more generally respected by his party for earnestness and sincerity on the present occasion there was a fierceness almost a ferocity in his very countenance to the fire of which friends and enemies were equally anxious to add fuel the friends in order that so might these recreate tories be more thoroughly annihilated and the enemies that their enemies in discretion might act back upon himself to his confusion for indeed he never could be denied that as a prime minister mr gresham could be very indiscreet a certain small amount of ordinary business was done to the disgust of expectant strangers which was as trivial as possible in its nature so arrange apparently that the importance of what was to follow might be enhanced by the force of contrast and to make the dismay of the novice stranger more thorough questions were asked and answers were given in so lower voice a mister speaker uttered a word or two in so quick and shambling of fashion that he the novice stranger began to fear that no word of the debate would reach him up there in his crowded back seat all this however occupied but a few minutes and at twenty minutes past four mr dormany was on his legs then the novice stranger found that though he could not see mr dorbany without the aid of an opera glass he could hear every word that fell from his lips mr albany began by regretting the hardness of his position in that he must with what thoroughness he might be able to achieve apply himself to two great subjects whereas the right honourable gentleman opposite has already declared with all the formality which could be made to attach itself to a combined meeting of peers and commoners that he would confine himself strictly to one the subject selected by the right honourable gentleman opposite on the present occasion was not the question of church reform the right honourable gentleman had pledged himself with an almost sacred enthusiasm to ignore that subject altogether no doubt it was the question before the house and he himself the present speaker must unfortunately discuss it at some length the right honourable gentleman opposite would not on this great occasion trouble himself with anything of so little moment and it might be presumed that the political followers of the right honourable gentlemen were equally reticent as they were understood to have accepted his tactics without a dissention voice he mr albany was the last man in england to deny the importance of the question which the right angel or gentleman would select for discussions in preference to that of the condition of the church that question was a very simple one and might be put to the house in a very few words coming from the mouth of the right honourable gentleman the proposition would probably be made in this form but this house does think that i ought to be prime minister now and as long as i may possess a seat in this house it was impossible to deny the importance of that question but perhaps he mr normandy might be justified in demurring to the preference given to it over every other matter let's that matter be of what importance it might be to the material welfare of the country he made his point well but he made it too often and an attack of that kind personal and savage in its nature loses its effect when it is evident that the words have been prepared a good deal may be done in dispute by calling a man an ass or a knave but the resolve to use the words should be made only at the moment and they should come hot from the heart there was much neatness and some acuteness in mr dorman's satire but there was no heat and it was prolix it had however the effect of irritating mr gresham as was evident from the manner in which he moved his hat and shuffled his feet a man destined to sit conspicuously on our treasury bench or on the seat opposite should ask the gods for a thick skin as a first gift the need of this in our national assembly is greater than elsewhere because the differences between the men opposed to each other are smaller when two foes meet together in the same chamber one of whom advocates the personal government of an individual ruler and the other that form of state which has come to be called a red republic they deal no doubt weighty blows of oratory to each other but blows which never hurt at the moment they may cut each other's throats if they can find an opportunity but they do not bite each other like dogs over a bone but when opponents are almost in accord as is always the case with our parliamentary gladiators they are ever striving to give madding little wounds through the joints of the harness what is there with us to create the divergence necessary for debate but the pride of personal skill in the encounter who desires among us to put down the queen or to repudiate the national debt or to destroy religious worship or even to disturb the ranks of society when some small measure of reform has thoroughly recommended itself to the country so thoroughly that all men know that the country will have it then the question arises whether its details shall be arranged by the political party which calls itself liberal or by that which is termed conservative the men are so near to each other in all their convictions and theories of life that nothing is left to them but personal competition for the doing of the thing that has to be done it's the same in religion the apostle of christianity and the infidel can meet without a chance of a quarrel but it is never safe to bring together two men who differ about a saint or a surplus mr dormany having thus attacked and wounded his enemy rushed boldly into the question of church reform taking no little pride to himself and to his party that so great a blessing should be bestowed upon the country from so unexpected a source see what we conservatives could do in fact we should conserve nothing when we find that you do not desire to have it conserved any longer quad minima rarest grayer pandata ab urbe it was exactly the reverse of the complaint which mr gresham was about to make on the subject of the church itself he was rather misty but very profound he went into the question of very early churches indeed and spoke of the misappropriation of endowments in the time of eli the establishment of the levites had been no doubt complete but changes have been affected as circumstances required he was presumed to have alluded to the order of melchizedek but he abstained from any mention of the name he roamed very wide and gave many of his heroes an idea that his erudition had carried him into regions in which it was impossible to follow him the gist of his argument was to show that audacity and reform was the very backbone of conservatism by had clearly pronounced disunion of church and state the theocracy of thomas beckett would be restored and the people of england would soon again become the faithful flocks of faithful shepherds by taking away the endowments from the parishes and giving them back in some complicated way to the country the parishes would be better able than ever to support their clergymen bishops would be bishops indeed when they were no longer the creatures of a minister's breath as to the deans not seeing a clear way to satisfy aspirants for future vacancies in the deaneries he became more than usually vague but seemed to imply that the bill which was now within the leave of the house to be read a second time contained no clause forbidding the appointment of deans that the special stipend of the office must be a matter of consideration with the new church synod the details of that part of his speech were felt to be dull by the strangers as long as he would abuse mr gresham men could listen with pleasure and could keep their attention fixed while he referred to the general conservatism of the party which he had the honor of leading there was a raciness in the promise of so much church destruction from the chosen leader of the church party which was assisted by a conviction in the minds of most men that it was impossible for unfortunate conservatives to refuse to follow this leader let him lead where he might there was a gratification in feeling that the country party was bound to follow even though he should take them to the very bowels of a mountain as the pie piper did the children of hamline and this made listening pleasant but when mr dorman stated the effect of his different clauses explaining what was to be taken and what's left with a fervent assurance of what was to be left behind would under the altered circumstances go much further than the whole had gone before then the audience became weary and began to think that it was time that some other gentleman should be upon his legs but at the end of the minister's speech there was another touch of invective which went far to redeem him he returned to that personal question to which his adversary had undertaken to confine himself and expressed a holy horror of the political doctrine which was implied he during a prolonged parliamentary experience had encountered much factious opposition he would even acknowledge that he had seen it exercised on both sides of the house though he had always striven to keep himself free from its painful influence but never till now had he known a statesman proclaim his intention of depending upon faction and upon faction alone for the result which he desired to achieve let the right honourable gentleman raise a contest on either the principles or the details of the measure and he would be quite content to abide the decision of the house but he should regard such a raid as that threatened against him and his friends by the right right-handed gentleman as unconstitutional revolutionary and tyrannical he felt sure that an opposition so based and so maintained even if being enabled by the heated feelings of the moment to obtain an unfortunate success in the house would not be encouraged by the sympathy and support of the country at large by these last words he was understood to signify that should he be beaten on the second reading not in reference to the merits of the bill but simply on the issue as proposed by mr gresham he'd again dissolve the house before he would resign now it's very well understood that there were liberal members in the house who would prefer even the success of mr dorbeny to a speedy reappearance before their constituents mr normandy spoke till nearly eight and it surmised at the time that he had crafty arranged his oratory so as to embarrass his opponent the house had met at four and was to sit continuously until it was adjourned for the night when this is the case gentlemen who speak about eight o'clock are too frequently obliged to address themselves to empty benches on the present occasion it was mr gresham's intention to follow his opponent at once instead of waiting as his usual with the leader of his party to the close of the debate it was understood that misaggression would follow mr dorbany with the object of making a distinct charge against ministers so that the vote on this second reading of the church bill might in truth be a vote of want of confidence but to commence his speech at eight o'clock when the house was hungry and uneasy would be a trial happiness would normally close an hour sooner there would with a little stretching of the favored hours have been time enough members would not have objected to postpone their dinner till half past eight or perhaps nine when their favorite orator was on his legs but with myth aggression beginning at great speech at eight dinner would altogether become doubtful and the disaster might be serious it was not probable that mr dorbany and even among his friends proclaimed any such strategy but it was thought by the political speculators of the day that such an idea had been present in his mind but misagression was not to be turned from his purpose he waited for a few moments and then rose and addressed the speaker a few members left the house gentlemen doubtless whose constitutions weakened by previous service could not endure prolonged fasting some who had nearly reached the door returned to their seats mindful of mrs roby and rattler but for the bulk of those assembled the interest of the moment was greater even than the love of dinner some of the peers departed and it was observed that a bishop or two left the house but among the strangers in the gallery hardly a foot of space was gained he who gave up his seat then gave it up for the night this aggression began with a calmness of tone which seemed almost to be affected but which arose from a struggle on his own part to repress that super abundant energy of which he was only too conscious but the calmness soon gave place to warmth which heated itself into vans before he be in a court of an hour upon his legs he soon became even ferocious in his invective and said things so bitter that he had himself no conception of their bitterness there was this difference between the two men that whereas mr norman hit always as hard as he knew how to hit having premeditated each blow and weighed its results beforehand having calculated his power even to the effect of a blow repeated on a wound already given mr gresham struck right and left and straightforward with a readiness engendered by practice and in his fury might have murdered his antagonist before he was aware that he had drawn blood he began by refusing absolutely to discuss the merits of the bill the right honourable gentleman had prided himself on his generosity as a greek he would remind the right honourable gentleman that presence from greeks had ever been considered dangerous it is their gifts and only their gifts that we fear he said the political gifts of the right honourable gentleman extracted by him from his unwilling colleagues and followers had always been more bitter to the taste than dead sea apples that such gifts should not be bestowed on the country by unwilling hands that reform should not come from those who themselves felt the necessity of no reform he believed to be the wish not any of that house but of the country at large would any gentleman on that bench accepting the right honourable gentleman himself and he pointed to the crowded fanx of the government get up and declare that his measure of church reform this severance of church and state was brought forward in consonance with his own long cherished political conviction he accused that party of being so bound to the chariot wheels of that right honourable regiment as to be unable to abide by their own convictions and as to the right honourable gentleman himself he would appeal to his followers opposite to say whether the right honorable gentleman was possessed of any one strong political conviction he had been accused of being unconstitutional revolutionary and tyrannical if the house would allow him he would very shortly explain his idea of constitutional government as carried on in this country it was based and built on majorities in that house and supported solely by that power there could be no constitutional government in this country that was not so maintained any other government must be both revolutionary and tyrannical any other government was a user patient and he would make bold to tell the right honourable gentleman that a minister in this country who should recommend her majesty to trust herself to advise us not supported by a majority of the house of commons will painly be guilty of usurping the powers of the state he threw from him with disdain the charge which would be brought against himself of hankering after the sweets of office he indulged and drawled in indulging the highest ambition of an english subject but he gloried much more the privileges and power of that house within the walls of which was centered all that was salary all that was efficacious all that was stable in the political constitution of his country it had been his pride to have acted to join nearly all his political life with that party which had commanded a majority but he would defy his most bitter adversary he would defy the right honourable gentleman himself to point to any period of his career in which he'd been unwilling to succumb to a majority when he himself had been in the minority he himself would regard the vote on this occasion as a vote of want of confidence he took the line he was now taking because he desired to bring the house to a decision on that question he himself had not that confidence in the right honourable gentleman which would justify him in accepting a measure on so important the subject as the union or severance of church and state from his hands should the majority of the house differ from home and support the second reading of the bill he would have once so far succumbed as to give his best attention to the clauses of the bill and endeavor with the assistance of those gentlemen who acted with him to make it suitable to the wants of the country by missions and additions as the clauses should pass through committee but before doing that he would ask the house to decide with all its solemnity and all its weight whether it was willing to accept from the hands of the right honorable gentleman any measure of reform on a matter so important as this now before them it was nearly 10 when he sat down and then the stomach of the house could stand it no longer and an adjournment at once took place on the next morning it was generally considered that mr dorman had been too long and mr gresham too passionate there were some who declared that mr gresham never been finer than when he described the privileges of the house of commons and others who thought that mr dorman's lucidity had been marvelous but in this case as in most others the speeches of the day were generally thought to have been very inferior to the great efforts of the past

Should Christians care if they offend others?
brother jordan so the next question is we should hide the truth when it's possible others could get offended all right sister renee you have an answer for that one false you can you can uh say the truth in love you don't have to uh be ugly when you tell someone the truth like a lot of people ask hard questions um you know for instance luke you were talking about how larry king likes to really set up the people he has on there because he knows that the answer is going to offend people and sadly you'll have people like billy graham saying well there's a wideness well no why does the road leads to destruction uh jesus himself said uh narrow is the way and he is the way so we have to if somebody says so you mean all those in islam even though they're good people uh no they're not good people because none's good so yeah they are lost sorry i have to tell you that but there's a way to say it i have a heart for catholics i have a heart for jews um and the hatred for jewish people in the christian community growing is really evil to me uh i don't understand it jesus said salvation is of the jews because he came from judah so our savior when he manifested in the flesh was born through a tribe of israel we should not hate the jewish people i don't understand this um we don't hate other lost people why would you hate them i mean it just i don't get this so there's a way to tell the truth in love you know when we say and we expose something in the catholic church for instance uh we don't you know offend the people like say evil things about them we we say look these are antichrist doctrines this is another gospel this is work salvation we don't do this with mary this is wrong this is wrong and we show them the scriptures because the foundation of truth is the scriptures and so it's not a matter of opinion uh the truth is jesus jesus said i am the way the truth and the life and jesus does offend he said i didn't come to bring peace but a sword as a matter of fact he said that all people are going to be offended because of my name so there's no way to not offend people uh i heard someone say one time if you want everybody to like you and for you to never be offensive make sure you stand for nothing you know when you take a stand for anything you're gonna offend people and you really offend people when you take a stand for the exclusivity of salvation through jesus christ so we can say the truth we can be as loving as we can we need to be aware of what if it was you you wouldn't want somebody to preach at you like that there's a way to tell somebody i'm sorry you know you think you're good you're not there's a way to say that to them so that they can recognize why they need a savior without telling them what a wicked person they are you just got to show them god's standards so there is a way to do it in love paul said without love we are as clanging symbols no matter how much prophecy or correct doctrine or how much truth we have if we if we don't say it with love it's just a bunch of noise so no we do not hide the truth because it might offend the truth always offends all right thank you sister okay brother jordan what's your answer yeah i would say certainly false i've probably offended three people this week alone it's not it it doesn't matter how your delivery is you can be the most sincere kind-hearted person um and they're just not going to take well to it um slightly i would say probably about a week before my appearance on a church of the eternally secure i had been working with a cult and um i talked about how much i love them and you know i'm concerned for them and all these things and when i got on call with them they said like it meant a lot to them that could really feel uh my concern for them and it was something they appreciated but then right after that they continued to three versus one yell at me for an hour and a half so it doesn't matter how much love you approach a situation with if that person is coming from a spirit of darkness so we shouldn't be afraid of offending someone and if we are and if you're not offending anyone you're likely offending god so keep that in mind okay thank you brother uh well you know obviously all of us who are um outspoken for for jesus in the gospel uh we are going to offend people however i i would like to ask a question back to renee and jordan and everybody else um give you a hypothetical situation let's say that uh you're you're attending a funeral and uh you know that the person who died never believed they either were firmly in some other false religion or they're an atheist or they're anti-christian for something yeah there's no doubt they never believed and we know that their their destiny is is hell lake of fire the second death uh uh even though we've come to the conclusion that they don't have eternal torment but we know that they will perish they don't have eternal life they don't get to live forever in paradise the new heaven the new earth [Music] that's the reality of it but what if you're talking to their loved ones at the funeral is would you would you tell them at a time like that the facts the truth or do you think maybe it would be better to not not not lie or misrepresent or tell them something that just to tell them what they want to hear that oh they're i'm sure they're with the lord or they're in a better place or whatever something like that uh um you're not gonna do that but you're just remain silent on that subject well i'm not going to tell them that they're lost they're they're they're they're going to uh never have eternal life there you'll never see them again uh and uh they uh is it better to conceal that truth from them at a time like that knowing that you can all talk to them later maybe a week maybe a year maybe at some point in the future when they don't have this uh horrible uh grief they're going through because i believe if you if you tell them the truth at that time they may end up harding their heart against jesus in the bible and then never never never can be rectified i like to hear your thoughts on that yeah for me um i can never cater the message for fear that it's gonna harden someone's heart because the gospel is the power to intervene and soften someone's heart um i definitely want to come out and say yeah they're absolutely burning right now but i wouldn't because here's the thing a lot of people who are grieving there is such an alarming statistic of the people who are grieving who go out and commit suicide so will i have time to teach them the real gospel outside of their grieving period or is it possible that i can deliver the gospel message which will save them and the other people who are surrounding it so i would i at the we unless i'm there at the very last second and they're blaspheming god there's no way that i can absolutely know if they died um i would just lay out what the gospel very clearly says and i would just say i don't know what state they died in but this is the gospel of grace and it is available for everybody um and it's important to say that because you know even if somebody does harden their heart that's an active decision to reject the gospel we're all going to face circumstances in life where it would be very easy to harden our hearts against god and that's why we are called to humble ourselves trust in his wisdom not being on our own understanding and um know that he is faithful because everything is to bring him glory and honor so even if there are things that seem out of our comprehension or even this or even something that seems like it could be hurtful because at the end of the day we're never going to approach a situation where the truth is not going to be hurtful to someone um especially if they're in a situation where churning from sin means losing loved ones or um [Music] removing themselves from a situation where they once had a lot of support or um leaving their creature comforts so i cannot limit god or the gospel for the sake of someone else's comfort i would just trust that the holy spirit would intervene in me to deliver the words that i need to say it's not something i would go in without praying about thank you uh renee all right interesting your thoughts on that you there i'm sorry brother luke i had to step away for a second okay uh did you hear my uh question no no well i don't know i'm kind of lengthy to explain it again um i'm sorry the question he basically asked is let me let me explain if if i just gotta be explained again i want to put my own words here uh so you're you're at a attending a funeral and you you know that the person uh the deceased person uh was not a believer they're either [Music] avid atheist or uh they're really uh enthusiastic about their false religion and you know that they never believed and and then you're but you're talking to their loved ones uh would would you uh tell tell them that uh well they never believed so they are lost and they don't they're not going to go to heaven and they're they're going to perish and uh or you you think that maybe uh waiting for a better appropriate time under such grief that you would say this is not the proper time and place to to be making that point that maybe i i will take an opportunity late some other time to tell them the gospel so that would be has taken over the place of compassion in the church people are leaving the church and going to secular places to get compassion and to get help it's ridiculous i mean people at the worst places of suffering and grief are are just it's like more important that we be right than to comfort and i just think we can follow jesus's example we can uh preach the truth i brother luke i would never be at a person like you say let's say we're first of all i can't be certain anybody's lost i i don't how can i know that did they believe as a child and fell away i don't know that i cannot know for sure so first of all i would never say i know for sure he's in hell no matter how far he's gone i don't know that i'm not god so i would never make that statement anyway secondly if i was certain they probably didn't believe and i'm gonna maybe very slim chance they were safe why bring it up at all these people are grieving it's the most painful time in their life i would never make their pain worse that would give nothing but jesus and the church a bad name you can't recover from that kind of pain being inflicted on someone i would never do that now uh it bothers me when i hear somebody go oh he's in heaven now with the and you know he's not probably you know it bothers me when people just everybody that dies oh he's in heaven with the lord now you hear it at every funeral but it's not true and we all know it um there's not for me there's not a lot of people that know me that don't know the gospel like i'm not gonna let anybody be in my life and not know the gospel um i have a hard time with this muslim guy because he won't let me talk so but i'm working on that um so i think it would be better at the funeral not to mention it at all one you can't achieve anything with it except damage to the church you're only going to hurt someone so deeply that that they themselves that are still alive and could get saved won't get saved because they're so hurt and offended by someone claiming the name of christ so i think uh brother luke it would be wrong to say anything about where that person is i really do if we're like leaning on the side that they're lost there is nothing their family can do about that and the people that are alive i want them saved but i do not believe the time of their greatest grief is the place for me to say anything but at my son's dad's funeral i asked the pastor because people are thinking of death to give the gospel before we left and so he did so everybody at the funeral heard the good news about jesus how it's a free gift we can know where we're going you know it's sad that we have to come here knowing that he's passed on but now that we have death on our mind we really all need to know it's coming for us all and here's the gift here's the good news nobody needs to mourn or be scared where you're going because here's the good news so when we did a funeral i made sure everybody in that place heard the gospel but i i wouldn't i wouldn't hurt anyone it when you have lost someone there is a pain that takes you so far away and you feel so alone it is the worst time you could possibly offend someone and hurt their heart like that and i don't i don't know if they could ever recover from it i don't know if they could ever recover from that in order to come to faith themselves all right thank you sister yeah i um i i've had the opportunity to speak at a number of funerals and uh especially as i've gotten older the funerals i tend are more frequent now um but i would never be willing to speak at a funeral of someone that i believed and knew was or knew was lost um but though those people who i have spoken at that i've either led the lord myself or i'm i know that they were professing believers then uh what a wonderful opportunity to celebrate and and say that we we know they are where they are and this is why and present the gospel for the whole audience but if if that person was not saved and i i could not get up there and say well i know they're in a better place i can't i cannot say something that's not true i cannot try to try to just comfort them with those words that i know is not true so i have to just say i i i'm not able to to speak at this point uh but there's uh yeah the scriptures does tell us that if someone grieving we don't try to cheer them up we grieve with them and so um yeah all right any more on that one before we go to another question okay let me see is there another question in the chat room or do we have to go to one of our prepared questions here if you do have a question in the chat room we're trying to give you priority now to uh move right to your questions if not then we've got prepared questions what's that really that's a good idea that we're going to the chat questions i think it's more interactive that way very good okay if uh if you do have a question put in all caps so that we recognize it right away you just ask can a person be saved right before they die like at the moment of death okay go ahead renee why don't you go first yeah the thief on the cross was he was saved before before that while he was crucified they were they were mocking jesus and right before the thief's death he said lord remember me when you come into your kingdom so we know the knowledge he was the promised savior the king the king of the jews as promised so acknowledging that means that he acknowledged who he was meaning and jesus confirmed today you'll be with me in paradise so um yeah he was saved at the moment of his death and i do believe god and his mercy will reveal things to people i even believe it's possible he can reveal it to him if they're in a comatose or some kind of state like that i just don't ever underestimate god's mercy but i also don't leave it to chance like that i do if i'm around i feel like i'm gonna answer for not doing what he told us to do uh and that's preach the gospel that's that's the number one um the great commission that we're all given so uh yeah my son's grandpa he he was he was dying and got saved he was very angry at god because of the things he had seen in vietnam you know why do you let all those young men die like that and he was just mad at god his whole life didn't want to hear nothing about jesus because my son's grandma was a very uh very uh strong christian woman and she's the one that clarified the gospel to me 13 years ago i grew up in it and then i kind of grew up in the salvation army church and then a baptist church so it was like southern baptist so it wasn't real clear we need jesus to have your sins but you also had to be a good person so she actually clarified it for me and he wouldn't hear nothing of it he did not want to hear anything of it but as he got closer to his death pastor came and spent time and preached the gospel to him and he did get saved um so yeah it see it doesn't matter when because he's not willing and he should perish he wants everybody saved and the death bed conversion is a perfect example of god's grace and i don't understand why if you get saved and you still have 30 more years to live why the gospel is changes to people because if you ask these lordship people oh yes you can have a death conversion well he's going to die he can't do good works he can't change sin he can't get sin out of his life but he gets saved but if i live 30 years now i got to do that work why does he i got to do that work and he didn't have to do that's not fair that's not right see it it messes up the gospel when you don't simply stick to the simplicity in christ that's given to someone on the deathbed simply believe that's how all of us are saved and the gospel message doesn't say does it change whether you've got saved as a child or you get saved on your deathbed it's still by god's grace through faith and what jesus did and so nobody's gonna boast uh when they get to heaven so yeah uh it's clear you can be saved right before your death okay thank you sister well um someone a couple of people come to my mind well first of all um my brother died uh uh and when he he was very very sick and over a period of several months he was dying and i i've been with i'd witnessed to him throughout years and he really believed more in a like a new age type of beliefs but uh before he died he told me that he did believe the gospel now and uh i believe he did and so i believe he's with the lord and but that wasn't just immediately he didn't believe just a moment before he died but i remember when my father was dying in the hospital and he was uh he also uh was one of these people that was into the new age religion and uh he he once told me when i was talking about jesus and he says gee you say jesus is god i'm just as much god as jesus and and i said i was just shocked what he said i said he said well don't the bible says don't you know that ye two are gods and so you know he's right from the new age uh belief system he was very involved with the edgar cayce foundation and all that so uh i he and i had a lot of talks and i knew he didn't believe the gospel but i remember when he was in the hospital dying over a period of about eight hours you know uh i was witnessing to him and praying for him and he was conscious and uh he he couldn't really acknowledge anything but i uh i was you know telling the gospel and reading him to him the psalm that he liked and uh did he believe uh he there wasn't any way for him to tell me but i i do think that some people have told us people we know say that it's very unlikely not impossible but very unlikely for people to get saved because if they didn't care enough to believe in jesus uh all for years before all they had their whole life to uh then that their their faith as their dying is superficial faith you know they didn't they can't really be saved but uh we know that people can be saved at the last moment there is a parable that i believe is a demonstrates this and jesus told the parable about the workers in the vineyard and he said there was this rich landowner and hired people to work in his vineyard and he hired some people at the sunup at the beginning of the day and told him he would pay him you know one denarius at the end of the day and uh and then a few hours later some other people came and he heard them uh and then middle of the day he hired another group of people and the very end of the day with only less than an hour left in the day he hired some people and then when the day was over he's paying people and the people observed that everybody was paid one denarius and the people that worked all day they complained that that uh it's unfair we worked all day for and got one in areas and they only worked the very end of the day and they got the same thing and of course jesus said well the landowners said well you it's it's up to me that's if i want to pay people other than that then uh you know don't be don't be a jealous or forgot how he said it but don't begrudge me that if i want to be generous and be uh immersed and gracious to them and i i think that's uh a picture of people coming to um faith at different points in their life some people come into the faith early in their life they work their whole life in ministries and doing good works and stuff but in the end they got the same thing as the people who came in at the tail end of their life and maybe did little to no work at all for for their uh the cause of christ and yet they all got the same thing which is not a denarius but is eternal life um not everybody interprets that parable the same way but i think that's a legitimate way of teaching that parable uh brother jordan what's your answer to this question yeah well it's a difficult one for me because it's not something that i've really thought a whole lot about to be honest can you um restate the question again just so i can answer it most accurately um well let me see where did that question come from anyway uh yeah you asked it really what was it person be saved moments before their death oh see yeah okay i did have thoughts on that i i thought we got off on hell so i was like trying to pull my thoughts together and i was like looking some stuff up yes absolutely a person can be saved in um actually the thought that i was gonna branch off from renee um when she brought up the thief on the cross it's just that's such a beautiful illustration of the simplicity of the gospel and a lot of people will argue that it was under a different covenant but we have to remember that jesus died first now this was before the outpouring of the holy spirit jesus did say you'll be with me today in paradise and we know that um jesus spent three days i believe abraham muslim is the popular term for it rene probably knows this a little bit better than me but um like so we're not quite sure what entailed but we know that he did inherit eternal life through faith in jesus christ and this is a great place to go to because the thief and the cross did not speak in tongues the thief on the cross did not unpin himself and go get water baptized the thief on the cross didn't do half the things that are required for salvation so it if you have time to trust you have time to be safe absolutely all right okay thank you all right uh any more renee on that question before we go to the next one no but there's another one in the chat and all caps about yeah i i see that uh why don't you go ahead and read it renee uh yeah it says can a saved person cause their own death early due to sin like driving drunk or drug overdose okay let's give brother jordan the opportunity to go first on this one yeah absolutely they can and you know that is why see here's the thing uh our theology takes so many hits because we rely so much on eternal security that we almost forget to talk about the severity of hell we think that well as long as i'm safe from hell i'm good and that's why we get so much heat because we never choose the turn of uh talk about sin and then when we do talk about sin other free grace believers will come out and call us legalists um it's important to preach the severity of sin because like we talked about it builds layer upon layer it starts off small gets bigger and that's why any sin should be taken serious are we going to be clear of all sin not until we're in our glorified bodies i understand that i am speaking to you guys strictly as disciples i am not teaching you how to be saved i am teaching er i am teaching you how to operate as a disciple of jesus christ provide them a good testimony and live in a way where you're growing in grace it's those two examples are great like if you develop an alcohol problem and you get in an accident first of all what happens if you don't die but the other person does big problems but um and then the drug overdose and a lot of this comes from a place of shame and when we don't draw closer to god and that's why i always tell you guys to rely on convictions see it as a blessing to draw you closer to god do not fear his chastisement i mean fear god it because we should all revere god but when we let the enemy come in and create shame that distances ourselves from god what do you think is going to happen to that sin when we distance ourselves from god and the power that the great power that grace has in us to overcome that sin so it's very important that we tackle issues very early on it's important that we read our bible so we can identify um early sin and see examples of where that led people um because it's when we grow in that grace that we see deliverance from these things and those issues don't become a possibility okay thank you brother all right sister renee what's the answer yeah well yeah certainly certainly and it's so funny he mentioned that uh jordan as you know a video was released recently calling me a legalist of all people i am condemned for promoting sin because i don't talk about the consequence of sin that often the temple i've done videos warning about it how it's a trap how it brings death to your life in every area sometimes literal death so uh that's really funny to me because when you do talk about it as a grace believer you're condemned as a legalist no we're supposed to look most of the new testament is telling us how we should be living to not do these sinful things because you are people of god so we can't ignore all of the new testament because somebody thinks we're being legalists we have to say the truth it's sound doctrine uh but the problem is when you talk about a sin in a for a believer they immediately their mind goes back to law well i can't do this and don't do that and and then they get into condemnation because now they're self-focused and they're worried no we need to grow in grace and then know who we are in christ and whenever the sin temptation comes up nope that's not who i am i don't do that because that's not who i am and so it's not about oh did i sin did i do that we're not all sin conscious but we're christ christ-focused so you got to grow in grace because strangely it's clear that the strength of sin is the law and paul says sin shall not have dominion over you because you're not under law you're under grace so people are very uninformed that accuse grace to be a license to sin because it's not grace that promotes more sin it's law it strengthens sin it says it and and the law was given so the transgression might abound so the sin would get worse and be recognized by man so we see here in first corinthians they had were getting drunk and not caring for the poor and inviting them to the passover not the passover dinner the lord's supper and uh they were getting drunk and overeating being gluttons right and paul's like don't you guys have houses you can eat before you get here you know if you're going to do that mess and you shame us because you don't worry about those that have nothing so paul tells them this because they were eating and drinking of the lord's body and blood unworthily this is what happened it says for this cause many are weak and sickly among you and many sleep and we know sleep is a term for death physical death of the believer we don't say die because jesus said whosoever liveth and believe them he shall never die so sleep we're just sleeping we said they're sleeping because uh that's the way they word it in scripture also in james it says when lust has conceived it bringeth forth sin and sin when it is finished bringeth forth death and yes so sin still brings early death uh john talks about a sin unto death um so i do believe very much so that a saved person can destroy his or her life through sin uh for instance they could commit adultery and then one of the jealous husband kills you i mean it brings literal death like that to being an alcoholic and destroying your liver and dying of that so there's all kinds of ways sin brings physical early death to us absolutely and it says we're all going to stand before the judgment seat of christ to answer for what we've done in the body whether it's good or bad so uh it's not like christians uh just don't care how they live i had somebody send me a literal question that said if how we live doesn't matter with salvation who cares what like the only reason you're not doing this wicked stuff is because you're trying to stay out of hell i mean that's just that's bad like i it's a strange attitude people have about grace if if you're not being threatened with torment forever they have no motivation to to just be a decent person i mean it's crazy or to even follow jesus we should all follow jesus he's our leader he's a good shepherd so uh you know uh christie put a good verse in in psalms you know he leadeth me on the path to righteousness but first he restoreth our soul so uh yeah it is very clear in scripture that it can bring death either indirectly you know or even directly or as an act of chastisement in some way as we see in uh first corinthians with the lord's supper it was god chastising them that's why it said because of this that's he's letting them know you were chastised that's why some of you are sick and weakly and some of you have even died it was god was chastising me okay thank you um i don't know how how many of us have ever stopped to really think about why god said certain things are sin and he gave us this list of do's and don'ts let me take pleasure sins to illustrate this [Music] what about food food can be very very tasty and enjoyable and as so much so that we we may we'll over eat and be gluttonous and uh what about sex obviously that the the pleasure of sex and the drive to have sex are just built into us and and and it causes people to have this um pursue having sex and and that pleasure um so if these things are so pleasurable and they're they're built in to us as human beings they're natural why is god telling us don't do these things uh uh gluttony is a sin uh and and uh fornication um adultery sex outside of a marriage between a man and a woman is a sin uh is is god telling us not to do these things there's so so much pleasure because he wants to spoil our good time and and and like torment us that he he gives us this great desire but says don't do it is he just trying to frustrate us make us angry um now god uh wants us to have the this sexual relationship within a marriage that's the healthy way to do it but god knows that apart from that if we have an outside of a marriage or let's say between two people the same sex or all these other types of uh sex that are that the bible forbids it's forbidding it because it's bad for us it's unhealthy there are do you know that probably every sin i haven't tried to analyze every sin but i imagine every sin actually comes with its own constant consequences attached to it a lot of people think that uh because uh jesus paid for our sins and then we get uh this forgiveness and our sins were charged to jesus and his righteousness and credit for this that that's that's really not reasonable that's that's that's that's a crazy concept it doesn't seem right people have to uh have to suffer their own consequences well the truth is that none of us really get away with our sin uh we don't have to go to hell because of our sin but i don't get away with any sin when i've done something wrong the consequences have i've ended up suffering some consequences for it and uh that's what you can expect if you if you commit adultery uh don't be surprised when you come home with a sexually transmitted disease if if you're having sex and you're not married don't be surprised if you have an unplanned unwanted pregnancy uh if you commit adultery hey don't be surprised if you you get found out and and now you have a divorce and a broken family um if you steal don't be surprised if you get caught and go to jail and get a criminal record so these are the consequences that uh we have even though we don't have to pay for our sins with uh uh perishing in the lake of fire but we still have sin does bring his own consequences sometimes it consequences an early death as was part of the question yeah sickness early death uh alcoholism um the bible doesn't tell us not to drink alcohol but it tells us not to be drunks because if you're a drunk it causes bad behavior on un horrible consequences out of being foolish from being a drunk and also health issues from alcoholism so um yeah the answer to the question is yes it's true that uh uh when we sin that it can cause uh in various i forgot exactly how it was phrased but it can even cause death uh so you're not going to get away with your sin even if you are uh uh your sins were paid for by jesus and that you in between in this life until your death and you get your glorified body you're still going to have to suffer what whatever you do there is a law of not i don't want to call law i'm sorry i used to call it a law uh the principle of reaping and sowing normally when you do good things you have good health habits you end up having good health you you may you you have a good plan for you're living within your means and saving for your future then you have prosperity uh you so you reap what you sow but not always look at job you know he he wasn't at fault and yet look what he was uh reaped but that was to teach us some lessons um and how many times have you known people maybe you're one of these people where you didn't do anything wrong and for some reason you had some horrible thing happen in your life a loss a sickness some horrible thing and you know they say that quite a good thing why do bad things happen to good people well we know that no one is actually good and in the sense the bible says it and good means perfect in the bible but um in man's eyes we look at goodnesses are relative things uh people are we compare each other and some people are pretty darn good and other people are not good at all and so uh those people who are relatively good why is it that bad bad things happen in life they didn't even cause it and yet something happened um so it's not really a law it's a principle of reaping and sowing but it's not absolute sometimes that's what happens uh and uh i i don't know how that relates to the sin but um okay rey or jordan say that luke because yeah it's not really a law but it is the principle of it because there are people that live very healthily and still get lung cancer those are there are people that uh just live wicked and it's like they never get anything bad they get they're wealthy they treat people terrible they never have but you know what ultimately they will answer for it we do know that if they're not chastised on this earth for that kind of behavior it means they're under the judgment of god so he's letting them build up a judgment on themselves so you know uh i think it is more of a principle i'm glad you clarified that because i'm realizing like the words matter because uh you know it's easy to be misunderstood and we want to be careful not to make uh extreme statements or absolute statements like this never or this always you know the law never and always or this is a law of reaping and sewing it is a a principle that we see uh that happens so i i think that's uh an error that the health wealth prosperity people use this law they make it a law and if you sow this then god is somehow indebted to multiply your money like it's a ira or something you know that that's not giving that that's investing it's not a gift give a gift sow a seed of 800 and you'll get you know 100 fold well that's that's investment that's not a gift you're not you're not giving um so yeah it's a good point okay thanks uh brother jordan you want to see more about this yeah and i actually like that um point that you just made renee because i mean look at how jesus responded in the temple when they turned that into a house of merchants rather than a house of glory and that's what all these prosperity gospel creatures are teaching i do think it's important to remember that if you are going through a hard time or a chronic ailment or illness sometimes that is just a natural cause of living in a fallen world and so if there's not something that you can identify that you are being chastised for or you don't feel conviction over a certain sin just know sometimes your circumstances are a product of just being part of a lost and fallen world that's a good point i uh i've been uh as you know i keep telling everybody i've been re studying reconsidering uh eschatology this last year and um uh something i just heard today was that uh our our present uh state uh is that uh it's a state of of suffering and even even even if we do everything right it's inevitable that in our lives we will suffer because it's a fallen world and our bodies are a result of it what goes wrong with our bodies they do not function perfectly forever as we my body start to fail in various ways we need and sometimes even we have temporary problems like a sickness that we suck that we suffer sometimes we suffer an awful lot and uh incidental if you love long enough you are going to suffer and but that's because uh we we were born into this world of suffering but there's going to come a time in the resurrection in eternity where there's no more suffering there's only joy no more no more uh sickness no more death no more crying no more pain just joy and bliss

Chef Mark Miller on Food as the Ultimate Intellectual Exploration | Conversations with Tyler
welcome to this installment of conversations with Tyler today the guest is Mark Miller who's one of the most extraordinary food mins of Our Generation it's hard to even summarize what Mark has done I think of Mark as the modern founder of Southwestern Cuisine he's well known for having been the driving force behind opening Coyote Cafe which transformed the s Fe dining scene in Washington DC where we are now in the pandag gormet restaurant well Mark is best known for red sage a Southwestern Restaurant that was one of DC's best for a long time Mark has written numerous books on food on Salsas on Chili he has the very best book on tacos if you've ever seen a famous poster of all those chilies the Chili's poster well marketed that Mark's been connected with a lot of restaurants he originally studied anthropology at Berkeley and I think of Mark's contribution as synthesizing anthropology cooking studying food through books studying food through practice he's lived in 20 countries traveled in over a hundred and he understands taste and sensation and context of food it's anthropological setting combined with all this fantastic Real World experience and on top of all that Mark has been a food consultant for more companies than I can name that's just my very brief introduction to mark and it doesn't begin to do him Justice we'll start the conversation in a moment as our questioner for today's segment we also have with us Megan McCardle of Bloomberg view Megan is a long-standing friend of mine uh in addition to her writing on politics and economics Megan was arguably the first very first economics blogger and she is deeply involved in the food World Megan to me each year writes the single best guide to kitchen equipment what is new out each year anyway we'll start by chatting with Mark and then Megan will come in with some questions so food worlds I'm very interested in how you think about food worlds and this contrast between the food worlds of China Japan Tokyo and South Korea you told me you thought Saul had the most interesting and creative food world of those three and tell us why you think that I've been traveling to all three countries for approximately 40 years or more so I really seen them transform themselves and I've also seen how they ad ad apt and how they acculturate other International influences so I've been going to Japan since I was a student at Berkeley for you know since 1969 was my first trip I've in China since the 70s soul is the one that I know the least but i' I've been following it for about 15 years recently in in May I went to the the big soul food show where actually ate 100 food products I had never had before which is interesting but the other thing that happened was was I realized that Soul had moved moved in terms of its transformation of plasticity and creativity there's a restaurant called mingles that every single dish was incorporating in in Chi Korean ingredients but in a very creative modern way and they were not afraid to move their food outside of the traditional Vortex of what was seen as Korean food and they were using Korean ingredients in a new way that was authenticating a Cuisine now in Japan for instance and they were doing Pizza they're doing coffee they're doing very good pizza that's almost as good as you'd find for instance in Italy in Japan when you go to eat pizza whether it's neopol either in Tokyo or Kyoto you find that they get to a certain level of the form of it but the flavor and the Gestalt and the aesthetic they can't quite get at it they they're they remain Japanese you know their the homogeneity of Japanese culture is its strength it's also its weakness in China I I maybe I've been going there and I'm working I've seen some dat of one of the big companies that had 7,000 restaurants we're seeing that the they're using Western Restaurants in order to create an a sense of modernity and identity whether they'll really use it for their own personal things right now there is no other alternative that social space that's open from children through you know uh going out through celebrations and weddings and the Western brands or the markers for special So Korea though I was surprised that first of all they've moved so quickly and I the last time I was there was four and a half years ago I would have thought to get to this level would have taken them 20 years plus the level of Italian coffee uh Pizza um modern Korean French was all exactly where we would be in the United States we'll get to Japan and China but more in Korea the the alley food in Soul and the rest of Korea seem so good to me so if I walk down a back alley there will be 20 different play places I want to eat most of them will be outstanding it might for instance be some of the best fried chicken in the world it I would agree and but what what's the structure of the food World in Soul and other parts of South Korea that have given rise to that well I think that what has happened it's sort of like Samsung versus Sony if you actually look at those technological Giants which one has been able to maintain and innovate and for some reason you know Sony lost its way we remember when Sony was the Innovative you know Center of electronics and yet today it's Samsung I mean not given not the last one that came out but basically I I think the Koreans are forced out of their comfort zone because they have North Korea on their border they have China to compete with being aggressive and they have the the Finesse of Japan so their context of competition just in their own in their own backyard is such that it makes them that they can't be in there Japan is St is staying alone it's in its own comfort zone and it's going to stay there China wants to move and be Global but it's a big stretch so you think Japan in a way has painted itself into a corner of perfection there's less you can have very very good French food in Tokyo arguably better than Paris exctly it won't ever be getting any better but it'll be the same French food that would have eaten in in in Paris in 1980 or you can have a quite good Mexican mole in Tokyo I found or Singapore loxa you can have in Tokyo and the person who makes it might have studied in Singapore for five or six years he'll come back with the perfected recipe but there's no other connection to that food World in Mexico if we look at for instance part of Mexican food like Enrique Cos New York is embracing modern Mexican and yet doesn't want to learn you know ancient traditional Mexican and yet it's moving beyond its roots and it's becoming Mexican whereas Mexico before was trapped in looking at Spain looking at the US and looking at other identity systems to validate its own food supply and it give a good example mcow my good friend Ron Cooper outed Del M that's a company 20 years ago that Mexicans would not drink mcow because it was associated with peasant Mexican and today when you go to Mexico see the only thing you can drink is mcow because people want to be Mexican and it's trendy even in Washington DC and Cho and Korea so the other the problem was Korea was always in Japan's Shadow and they were basically beaten down and defensive and I think right now they're not so we just had a dialogue with fuchsia Dunlop who's written on Chinese cooking the food World in China now how do you see it is it getting better getting worse is it headed to become large corporations as in America making a lot of soulless food or is it still on the way up that's a difficult question because restaurants that I know and fuchia Nows Like Jesse which is an old restaurant in Shanghai I was there recently and I've been going to that same restaurant for 20 years from when it had four tables by one family now they have multiple but still the what fuchsia talked about though is going to stop them is the level of status of someone joining a cooking profession didn't I Fong the dumplings have gone down so what's happening now is even though they have this great tradition of cooking the the workforce is either coming straight from the countryside without being trained the restaurants are making a lot of money because the people who are going there don't have trained pallets and so they just open up and be better so a traditional restaurant that takes a lot of training and Mo and to go into that it's you're not going to find in the workforce so I think that they're going to go through a period right now of probably um I would call mediocrity but doesn't the low status of cooking in China in some ways protect them so it keeps pretensions out of the food World it means people from lower socioeconomic backgrounds can become Cooks you can have a grandmother or a grandfather being a cook you can walk along in Shanghai and find a place where they make dumplings and they simply roll them and no one there thinks of what they're doing as an art but that ultimately enables free entry and gives people a bit of the freedom that they don't have in Tokyo and thus I would say you should be more optimistic about food in China the dumplings that I used to see on the streets don't forget you you know I've been going to Shanghai since the 70s late 70s they were all over the place now they're very hard to find and the Chinese government by you know is afraid of of basically uh health reasons is now controlling where food is basically exhibited and where food can be bought and sold and so a lot of the shops have moved into some of the department stores for instance and are there but the there used to be one amazing bow of made out of smoked tofu and bitter greens and mustard and I would just wait for my next trip to Shanghai and you know for 15 years I would go to the same place it was in the French Quarter same corner and they had the best bow and and you know it's gone and I you know looked all over and I can't even find that bow or I can't find a noodle was where I used to put out my hand with coins and people would say they didn't have money then and I used to go to the wet markets and just look at what other people were eating and the last time I could do that was like maybe 15 years ago I haven't seen a a noodle like a hundred noodle STS in Mexico you can still see of course yeah but even there street food is being pushed out of Mexico City somewhere but you go to a bus station in Monteray and you can see 100 the most tacos in the world and we will get to that but let's anyway for Asia for now still let's say someone comes to you Mark Miller you've been to over a hundred countries eaten in them for decades they say I have two weeks to do a food tour in a Asia you should pick for me three cities what are your selections um I would pick [Music] uh I know I would pick Chong well no I would Chong I would pick I would pick soul for sure soul for sure I would probably I would pick Bangkok yeah and a tossup between and I would pick I would pick Tokyo and you would pick Tokyo yeah so Bangkok say someone's in Bangkok they don't speak Thai they're puzzled they don't know what they doing they don't have a thae friend conceptually how should they think about finding the best food in Bangkok go to the you know go to the night markets go to I mean they're they but just the food on the street is just amazing it's probably the best in the world on the street and it has the most variety it's the freshest it's the the time people also are very clean they're very they're they're I've never been sick once I've been eating food for you know on the street forever um the chu chaa Chuck the largest market in the world has 15,000 boots and probably you can just spend four hours and eat 100 dishes my record in in Bangkok one day is is 14 restaurants and 75 dishes and I actually ate them all not tasted them so just get a hotel and probably spent less than we'd spend in Washington one night get a hotel in that part of Bangkok and just go eat there yeah I I would go there are some good books there's a street Hawker guide there's some good bloggers who who are out there it's you know I but I would not be afraid and the thing is is always with street food is always go so the night food is the night food the day food is a day food but even some of that has moved into malls where the Thai people go and they'll do you know a Som for 50 cents or a dollar and a half and you might see a thousand people if a thousand people if a thousand Thai people are eating there it's it's safe to eat there but I I have a bias against malls when it comes to Southeast Asian food I tend to think malls are worse than street but in Kayla lour you know they move they went through the entire country and they picked the best street food and put it into the mall so that people could experience the best of the entire country in one place that's the reason that people go to the hotel and also when you go in Singapore you know the Hyatt and head streets they're actually they have 27 chefs each from different parts of Singapore running each station within that within that one dining room Malaysia or Singapore which has better food H well they're this they're very close so I would say panang is really interesting is and and um I would say right now though Singapore like Korea is is finally getting out of its out of its straight jacket I think there is some really modern young Korean chefs that are incorporating Southeast Asian uh Singaporean chefs you mean Singaporean chefs that are they know Chinese food they have access to the best ingredients they know Western food and they have their own tradition from you know Malaysian to uh the original um oh help me there the straight squis the um the peranakan peranakan cuisine which is I think I always think that those cuisines that are older and that you know if they have great weavings they have great Cuisine because I always say you know you're looking at one mentality if they had a rich aesthetic tradition I know that they had really interesting food so take Indonesia they have great weavings in yes I was I lived in ubo in 1970 but I'm often disappointed by street food in Indonesia it seems just the quality standard it's a bit like the Philippines they're not as but the great dishes like bines duck that has 28 ingredients in it it's amazing it's amazing dishes it's hard to those Temple Foods those Festival Foods I remember you know three days at the Feast of the temple the Feast of the coconut God Feast coconut goddess there were 127 dishes made in those three days now let let me ask you some questions about that no but the the variety and richness and we come back here to the United States and you have a hamburger and a hot dog let me ask you some questions about Chili's the area where you've probably had the greatest impact of all food areas so here I have some mulato chili if you look at a lot of food recipes if you make a Mexican mole you will use more molad than any other kind of Chile not always but quite typically say in the Rick bis recipe yeah why is that what is it about this chili well first of all do do what you want you've got to open first of all you have to open them up because 90% of old chilies are mislabeled yes that's one of the problems so that you may whatever it says on the package may may not be true the point is is that mad when you hold them up to the light right like this see it's more you see it's more purple and more reddish more Cent that is not a matat so they defrauded me yeah that's an ancho okay because a malat will be more coffee is and more dark tones so what what a molat will do is actually have those flavonoids that are coffee and chocolate and those in a mole are the undertones of the wide sort of structure the wide Foundation of those flavors that we really like now the fruit tones and the capsus saes and the spicy tones or are your basically accessories the ancho is always the Workhorse cuz it carries the most fruit the matat carries the coffee and chocolate which is those more or less fermented Umami more complex sort of flavor noids and then we throw in some guos or arows to brighten it all up and and get and get it going so if I make a Mexican mole with these fraudulent molat chilies what exactly will go wrong from you're a super taster you can tell the difference what we'll be missing well the thing is is that can I I'm going to taste this for a second we can all taste it together first of all whenever you taste the chili you notice there's a vein here you want to stay away from the veins always they contain 60% of the capin so you always stay away from the veins and even if you can't see them the other thing is this is old you know and this is a what's called a grade C chili yes it's a small and it's dried and it's last juice crop so they lose their perfume they're like flowers you know they lose so you what you end up is you end up with the capsacin so this is a little bit bitter did you notice correct like bitter tea a little bit like lapsang XU Chong there's a little bit of that Smoky Woody mushroomy flavor where is my coffee and chocolate where is it it's not here if you use this in your recipe you'll say it didn't come out well you know what you didn't do you didn't taste your ingredients so you're not going to get that wonderful warm flavor that matat is supposed to have and if I want a real molat chili how do I actually get one given that 90% of it according to you is fraud well or at least misleading or someone made a mistake you need to recognize when just the plast okay the other thing when you buy chilies the thickness of the flesh is the most important thing so all fruits where do the tannins come from Skins seeds and stems so the thicker the flesh yes the least percentage of tanin and that's what Mexicans do they look for the most pliable they look how thick it is and when you hold up to the light they can tell how ripe it was before it was dried how much fruit flavor is going to be there those are the big Primos so when you're using a mole you're really reincorporating fresh fruit complex tones into it this the people it is the Chili's the last thing they're looking for is heat that's the last thing they're looking for now two other chilies here's they and also they notice it's still bitter on the pallet yes it's like yeah and it tastes a little bit like the fruit leather that's kind of stale this one claims to be a nacho but we're happy to hear your revisionist take on it this is bigger for one bigger yeah and it's a little bit um darker it's got that really dark dark dark almost black blackish Brown look you you need to hold them up to the light because that tells you so that's that's red like an ancho okay it's pretty even inside there's no um mold if you get one moldy chili right out of 40 it'll ruin the mole one lot people don't look for them and when you rehydrate them you taste the oil so this one you the leather again fruit should taste like a fruit leather don't think chili see the the what we talking about with fuchsia the Paradigm and what you have in your head when you go after the taste is what you will taste if you think chili isn't go for heat you shouldn't you need to think fruit leather which fruit which fruit do you get tell me the fruits you get not let [ __ ] you not which fruits oh it's interesting um is it Cherry Apple blackberry blueberry it's uh it's like a maybe maybe Apple maybe Cherry not blueberry not Blackberry no but I think comes it's definitely like Cherry it's actually black cherry or sour cherry yep and it has a little bits of of what's this in this and there is this black current ciss ciss almost like the French ciss flavor at the bottom the point is is that when you work with ingredients I don't care if it's chili coriander I have four different corianders from Indian to this or cumans the when you cook an ethnic food a pores chef and I work Guama what they're doing is they're controlling their pallet it may look like that those ingredients are not important they're not expensive but they're very very important of course and that's why this is not a bad entro I would say plus okay and here's supposedly a paa tell us the difference well this be P should be longer for one thing and it should be really get those black currant black fruits Blackberry when you again think black fruits so is this just an ancho have I brought you three packages of anchos actually maybe um seems that's what yeah that's what it is that's it is everywhere a little thicker they are really wide then yeah a little bit this was the second one was the best one second one was the best one most fruitful most fruit tones freshest and less tanic which you don't want like a bitter wine or a bitter you don't want tannin and what's your economic theory of why these different chilies get mixed up and they're all anchos notice the amount of liquorish though the amount of black liquorish in this one the reason is is that the wholesalers basically uh part of it is they're run a lot of times by non-mexicans even if they're run by Mexicans they only know the chili that they grow up in their region like I'm teaching in a seminar in Mexico City at the end of the month yes and I can literally take out chilies and hand them to Mexicans that don't know what they are even though they they're from another area of Mexico how many different kinds of Chile do you know um I had once had a collection of about 250 in my garage but they're not there some of them are the same like Aral interesting story so I was traveling around Bhutan yes and I was going from town to town and I had the chili book this book with me yes and there's this there's this myth in Bhutan that Chile come from Bhutan and book there it is and so I would show them that they're not from bhown and what they are and I started tasting them then the next Village I would go in everybody was waiting for me all the kids and the chefs they would say are you can I see the chili book we Are there really chilies outside of Bhutan are there chilies in the rest of the world can you tell us about chilies and every town I went to it was the same thing but here A whole culture grows up with this history that they actually have had chili of course the the Portuguese brought them into Thailand and then they migrated through the trade routes into um into Bhutan and that's how they got there and and they're only the Cayenne varieties they're only the arales and so forth they don't have any of these chilies even if you grow these chilies for instance let's say you grow these chili in Washington DC it won't have the right um flavor because it won't have the right uh ultraviolet which has to be grown in the mountains above four or 5,000 ft and it doesn't have an alkaline volcanic soil that needs to be in the central me Central Valley of Mexico makes the best anchos and pacas in the world and when you go to the market s Louis that one Village in that one place makes the best particular in what state is that in state of Mexico state of Mexico yeah it's amazing though that they know they're chilies now there's a debate in Mexico right now you probably know about this that China is exporting cheaper chilies to Mexico but some of the Mexicans don't like this how will that play itself out what's going to Happ they they don't have the flavor profile part of it is um they they basically are undercutting the market so you see them in waka they they're anchos there I can tell um they're very very bitter they're very alkaline is um they don't have a good flavor and but people are buying them because of economic you know necessity or or that they don't really know the difference so but when I work in Sweden with the spice companies I'm not allowed to buy Mexican chilies which really offends me because of the micro levels of of of of bacteria that are on them and they're not radiated so we can only use in Europe for instance radiated things they have to come from Peru we don't buy them from Chile but we buy them from Peru but all my sauces I then have to adapt and because I don't get great Unos of great M but you can adapt now here's a jalapeno pepper very popular in the United States I can even go into a giant or Safeway supermarket and they will have these they seem to my untutored palette to at least be serviceable why is the jalapeno so popular in the United States it's probably because of basically it's the Chile of northern Mexico where most of the migrants workers come from um and it was part of the TexMex tradition it's very simple uh you can use it fresh mostly just right away it doesn't require you can you know cut it up use it in the Sal you know salsa Fresco you can put in the blender you can cook it in eggs you it's it's a very chilly it has for me a lot of flavor that is more akin to the green bell pepper with heat I prefer pablanos which I think they're richer and the pablano as you know is the predecessor we have one right here yes the pablano and this is actually where the bell peppers come you know well it's a chili you but this has much more depth it doesn't taste like green pepper it's it's not gaseous and it has what I call real green chili flavor there's only two in the world that have New Mexico the true green chili grown at high altitudes grow if you grow it at low altitudes it's the Anaheim this one again grows in Mexico roasted I think it's Supreme now interesting no one one of my favorites no in China they don't use it they don't grow it and even when I see it in the markets in China I went through China uh with the chef once and we bought the chilies and we would roast them and actually put them into China we took over the restaurant because I got tired of eating the food that they were so we were actually near kashar or something and they couldn't believe of the flavor of a roasted chili that was cleaned without washing and then strips of it put in a stir-fried lamb dish and how actually good it was here's a habanero Splendid orange color what's this good for nothing isn't it too hot well it's big which which is which bem me that it might not be the right one so well it's get good smell so okay the Habaneros and the chesi family the tropical family yes you want to use it for its tropical tone so what you do is you open it carefully and capsus and hits your nose here you don't actually have to touch it it'll you can feel it right there you should know the heat of everyone go easily across the nose now here though you get a wonderful orange mango papaya scent now this roasted and with the seeds and the veins taken out reducing the heat by 60% it's still going to be hot because I have 20% left in the flesh is going to actually round out and pull up all that beautiful tropical aromatic and that will make that pineapple or salsa or jerk that'll make it wonderful you smell the tropical this don't don't touch where it is but just smell and think orange mango fruit pineapple it's amazing what's the most underrated chili in the world most underrated chili in the world uh I would probably say the pablano the pablano yeah I can do a 100 dishes I can do 100 Salsas with this one chili how about from Peru the yahi yamaro that might be one of myoto and AI there you go absolutely and what makes them special well they don't have the depth and complexity they you know they're more jungly which they Chili's don't like high nighttime temperatures they like cool nighttime temperatures um the Roto when you have a pedito though I mean you got to be in ziche heaven when you were just down in Lima and I go there all the time um those chilies though when you make dried sauces out of them they don't they don't have a marriage of complexity like the Mex the Mexicans kind of like when you're in Bali and you're looking at a weaving from 1900 that's a triple eot the complexity of perut per this is just what Mexicans attain with their sauces you know the pre-colombian peruvians had every single method of weaving and yet the Mexicans the reason I'm attracted so much to Mexican food is that they literally have probably the most complex uses of of spices and chilies in the world no question nobody in Mexico where's the best region to eat uh I would I would still say um the three regions that I like pbla yes I'll be there in two weeks I think p is underrated I like the the the the mo ver in the morning and the mo amaros of the of the seven mes the mo amaros there is better than Waka people talk about waka waka is good but not in the city of wak it's a little overrated now you have to get outside the the place that has the p deaka The Great Smoke chili the best smoke chili in the world smoke for 3 days with seven different Hardwoods requires 9 hours in a Land Rover to get to that Village so you have that chili is is being still made by one Village in the entire world nobody makes it they won't show it to anybody even Diana Kennedy has not seen it we've all been to the Village so you still have products today in Mexico that are actually not only are they world class they don't exist anywhere else in the world and the Chinese could never duplicate it never so let's say you can pick not a city but one Village in Mexico and I'm going to send you there for a week and all you can do is eat which Village do you pick um only do is it in the old days I would have said Merida but not anymore I I uh I would still say um I like pbl today near p p yeah that area and your take on prehispanic Mexican Cuisine so it has a lot of insects it has Fried Worms it has mosquito larvae and those were as you know they cleaned the canals they actually got rid of the diseases that way the most interesting thing though you know what it's about it is we actually went to the museum yes and looked at the pre-colombian mates that were done for the Nix themal yes and guess what what they were never washed they were never washed why is that so they all they they when you NX them all corn right it be you actually it becomes more nutritional because you free up all the amino acids yes so the Italians said they got pgra yes yeah so but what happens is people talk about how fat Mexicans are and how pre-diabetic the reason is is that they are using a post-industrial diet that wasn't the probiotics weren't put back in So traditionally the metates were never washed they had levels of probiotics in there that were put back in and the women for the texture inside the tortillas would use wild grasses that actually contain the largest amount of wild yeast so the reason you look previous to 1925 in Mexico there's no diabetes is the probiotic and digestibility one of the reasons is of the Masa itself so let's say we send you back but also the flavor changes I was up in the mountains with the woman and I had the best tortilla I've ever in my life and I couldn't figure out why she was getting this flavor she had a 500y Old Farm the reason was what what happens when you use probiotics in yogurt and ice cream and te you change the flavonoids yes so essentially Not only was it about health she was making a more complex flavor and interesting dish now the reason that I study what I go to Villages for is to study those perceptional patterns of how and why are they getting more complex flavors they don't buy things on Amazon to go to the store or go to Whole Foods you know they are actually using their body as this as this window of opportunity to create complexity so I send you back to Central Mexico in the middle of the 18th century a how good is the food and how recognizably is it like 1750 let's say how recognizably is it like in your opinion what we would get in the outskirts of Waka today or near Puebla or in Guerrero well it depends what class you are we'll say that they're you know whe you're in a ranch in northern Mexico enough money yeah to buy what you want I would say it's probably very similar to what except for the except for mosa you know Masa intervention in 1925 After the Revolution because the government wanted to control the food supply and that's why tortillas are so cheap that was the same thing in France when you go to France today why buy GS of the price they are so but the food in terms of the you know what the Spanish brought was pigs they brought obviously pigs sheep you know beef unfortunately it ruined the the the ecosystem of the pre- Colombians which was not depend on rooting animals the same thing they did in the Caribbean as you know right for trade Europe could not grow its own food Europe and if you take Columbus leaving 30% of the people were starving to death without Warfare if you throw it Warfare in the end of the N 15th century would 50% of the people would have been dead in New York today why can I not get good new Mexican green chili at a restaurant can't they just put it on a plane and fly it over I would pay twice the price but it's not good why why is this the case well maybe it's not roasted then correctly maybe they're using it you you need a fire roaster it needs to be done within the same time that it's picked and it comes at the end of the season in terms of the the best time is at the end of August now there is a chili that's even better which is called the chili bado which is the red chili cuz this is from New Mexico yeah when the green turns red the rers right okay that chili before it gets dried is actually fire roasted and then peeled and then dried that chili is Sublime it's called chili pada now we're losing even in New Mexico or Mexico that tradition came up from Mexico was north of Monteray what I'm afraid of is we're beginning to lose those the pallet and those ingredients that those when you talk about a historical dish what I always think is so when we look at Masa which chef ever told you that you must put the probiotics back into a lot of ever told me that a lot of chefs in New York are talking about organic corn but they're not talking about really resurrecting the complexity of the flavor of the native people you know why because they don't go to The Villages they don't eat there and they don't use their brain to think about how are these people achieving that level of complexity they're not shopping for it chefs are Shoppers today here's a piece of purple corn I bought it in the United States but as you know in Mexico there are many colors of corn it's vastly Superior to even good corn we get in this country what's the future of corn is the future of corn that the varieties from Mexico somehow will be replicated spread evolved and innovated upon or is the future of corn a kind of monoculture where most of it is boring a few strains of it taste good but are not really that interesting and the different colors of corn in Mexico eventually disappear um I did the corn posters after the CH posters and and there are eight 862 varieties of corn and you know all of them no I don't know them but they're they're in they're in the University of Seattle in the Gen whatever the C you know the point is is that as I think that corn um has a lot the North American Indians grew 400 so corn even in the United States before the winter wheat we always ate corn bread corn was a big part of our culture not just for ethanol yes but I you're I think as soon as we I think because of what's happening in the United States about natural I think I think that once people put their pallets and really cue them up and they can tell the difference in varieties is when we're going to get much more varietal sort of differentiation the market if I give you six varieties of corn and I tell you to eat them and you can't tell the difference then you probably are not unwilling to pay for them if I gave you six varieties of red wine one is a Bordeaux from the first growth and one is basically from Trader Joe's and you can't tell the difference well you probably don't but this happens that a lot of people can't tell the difference with wine but we still Market the different strands maybe people are fooled or it's a placebo effect but people are are are interested in change today and what's happening in that place in time so let's say that the 400 varieties of Native American corn come back to the North America yes and let's say that you're in Portland there might be varieties that can only grow in Portland only grow in Maine only grow in New Mexico the point is is that corn you will probably like like for instance the microor industry we talked about that in Portland if if a community wants to engage its food culture on the community local level it can be amazing Portland is 400 beers why can't they have 30 40 varieties of corn just in Portland it'll come there'll be a corn restaurant in Portland that'll say you know what we are not growing the corn that everybody else has we do this and we have recipes from all these cultures that use corn from the Andes to Mexico and we're going to open a corn restaurant based on corn you know that grows that did grow at one of my growers in New Mexico everybody when I first open the restaurant in Santa Fe can't grow this can't do this can't do that regular you know can't do anything right well Elizabeth Barry my grower grew 482 varieties of beans without electricity on land that was essentially the Anastasia used to use in the 4th Century to these Bean Pots do we actually know how many beans or the variety of what a diet was native cultures France Boaz we get into that but he collected 254 salmon recipes a quut book would have been 3,000 recipes the the average American housewife does 79 in her lifetime so who's richer we now move to the underrated versus overrated segment of the talk okay you're free to pass on any of these but I'll just shoot out a few things you tell me if you think they're underrated or overrated the Michelin dining guide overrated now it's it's it's it's too status orientated it's dated it I I probably I bet you the average age of the inspector is over 30 I don't trust anybody in a company if the the mean age is over 305 anymore I think that they're out of touch I think they're replaying old record old old themes and I think the Michelin guide is about uh status a reification of a belief system in a particular food and culture system that was based on the aristocracy the fast food restaurant Chipotle well they they just got knocked today their stock just went down other you know I they're closing their chop houses which I knew they would they can't do that um Chipotle had a goodd space it did a lot of Education they developed Neiman Ranch for instance the problem with every big food company not just Chipotle you have 2,000 restaurants you say you're cooking the food but the food comes from two plants of a factory like Minot that does 200,000 pounds a day so the public transparency are you actually cooking the food or are you manufacturing it so I think every big food chain is probably going to face that this this this I don't know this gal of where if you're cooking you can't be a chain so I I I think that I think the era of big food companies is actually over and a company like Starbucks used to develop you would go into a town and you see Starbucks and it was familiar and known sure now all you have to do is like oh I'm in Columbus Ohio coffee oh this guy is doing fair trade interesting Guatemalan blend oh I'm going to go there are you that information you don't need Brands right you don't need Brands anymore the the consumer used to have Brands as guide and Trust today that there are other ways of of developing that we're in consumer level three this consumers are defining Brands and how Brands gets used I I think that the idea of brand is probably well you're an economist what do you think it's dated I agree the idea of Brands is in some ways on the way out uh you're a big lover of the culture of the American West so there's a lot of movies about the old west uh the movie High Noon overrated or underrated no I underrated still Cooper is amazing Gary Cooper is amazing I mean I it's in my you know I think that those are epics I think that that's our mythology of America all of America and and those are our heroes those are our our Gods from Zeus you know our Gods from Olympus and we need those we always need something like that to grow up with otherwise we're we're left with whatever's on TV maybe this is a loaded question but Southwestern Cuisine now is it overrated or underrated it's not appreciated so it's underrated and why underated because it's hard to get the right ingredient it was yeah it was just too difficult and the chefs today are not interested you have to translate three great Traditions to for me to do modern Southwest you have to know Mexican yes you have to know Native American and you have to know the history of the European influence on the western Traditions things like the cattle drive and those things which is you have to know all three traditions and all three Ing gradients and you I mean I read I I had to read 400 books just to write this book yes and it took a lifetime your red sage red s red sage book but I I think that the even chefs in my own kitchens for instance could even after 11 years could still not make some of the sauces after 11 years in the kitchen some of the sauces have 30 to 40 ingredients and each ingredient each time has to be tasted because an eggplant like a good when you're when you're in Japan yes why is why does it take 15 years to be a good temporary Chef cuz that eggplant in June is tighter has less water is less bitter than the one in August it where has a different batter different temperature so that 20 courses will require that Chef to make exactly over 75 85 decisions for each meal he does through each week of the year one my Sushi bgo he knows 1,900 ver so if you're a good Southwest Chef yes I don't think I don't you have to know at least 40 or 50 chilies you have to know all your spices your beans your vegetables uh you have to know uh game you have to know drying and roasting probably you need to have three or four 500 recipes under your belt mhm what's the most underrated European Cuisine I think I think hunger I've been going to Budapest I think it's I I would say right now the Budapest is on fire I'm having great food great wine uh I think it's uh amazing I love the peppers there too and they love the chili have you been to kashka to the chili Museum no I have not it's amazing I think that and they're doing amazing things and they you know I I would say right now the London is always exciting because it's the most inter National most open but I I have had some great food I I've had meals in Budapest for €40 that equal anything in Paris for 400 and the most overrated cuisine in Europe right now old French cuisine what French cuisine especially in the center part of Paris that's the more of the historically dated sort of tried and true I I think that even a good finding good french beastro I was in Paris if you you know it's difficult I think that the I think that I think that they're in a they're in a Iden crisis I think that the the French themselves are like are again like the [ __ ] they trying to reinvent themselves yes but they don't want to let go yes and the younger chefs the best we went to berue which is the high the hottest restaurant it's a Japanese Chef who's lived in Paris he's got this gastro modern thing that's going on three months and he's only serving cocktails no wine and and I took some older French people and they just couldn't get it they thought that it was an abomination they he had he had taken he wasn't interested in French cuisine he was reinterpreting where French dining and authenticity is in in 2016 so the younger chefs are concerned with authenticity and the authenticity of that experience for their guests is more important than an authentic technique and recipe where in the world do diners have the most advanced exploratory best pallette at the macro level not for one particular thing us us why do you say that because they're just the most they have the least Hang-Ups about identity systems with food there we used to be food morons right no we were food ignorant there food ignorant okay [ __ ] means you can't learn okay I think I think we were and we were intimidated by we were kind of colonized by the idea of European culture and in French food Chinese food and we were I came from French Canadian and I was told also as immigrant groups buy for status and power within a society they generally refer to the a third so the Italians didn't like the French you know I lived in Boston my grandmother she if she saw a piece of garlic she would have she would have disowned me you know and I think if you're but the point was I think right now as a Multicultural Society and the chefs are traveling they're opening and what's happening in the media is that they and because of the Immigrant populations people experience those level and the younger immigrants we're into our third generation so Casia for instance third generation Vietnamese in La we got the big right up in New York Times I've been there a couple times you get other chefs who are extending their own Traditions uh you know you talk about uh Slanted Door you talk about cosm in New York City right what we're beginning to understand is what I have fought for my whole life is ethnic food is as complex as any expensive French restaurant is or often more so now you teach classes in tasting appreciation is that correct pallet coaching pallet coaching yeah with companies generally and you try to teach the executives or the workers or who is taught well we try to teach everybody um depends uh most importantly if a brand is to have a brand s we won't get into branding but let's say that I'm working with the culinary department just the culinary Department some uh culinary uh what we want to do is bring the marketing people in we want to bring the consumer research people and we want to bring in the culinary people because we want a lexicon of what is what are we describing what is the experience we're not creating a product we're creating an experience and what is the consensus for what we like and don't like and what's good so women women have a different palette than men so if I'm create if I know that the the objective consumer jerky for instance more women are eating jerky women don't like to chew we know that okay the point is women also like more natural flavors not as much dramatic flavors as men so once we know this fact and we bring everybody in we create jerkies we would though go through um that's a different if we have for instance a hamburger that's something something simple sure six layers in a hamburger is 36 possibilities of eating it so one of the things like next time you eat a hamburger just put it upside down take your favorite hamburger from your favorite brand and put it upside down you'll see that it eats completely different all the fat receptors are now in a different mode it's almost like turning something to a mirror and so the experience and expression of it is completely people don't think that food do everybody I watch People in AA you know what they do they eat and they take they take a glass of beer or wine they're drowning it out I say what you do is you light up and set the stage take the beer or wine first and then use the flavors really yeah because but people have bad they have bad taste habits they're not trained to taste and what's another of a bad taste habit that a lot of Americans have that you could else no attention no attentions so I we make them put in their mouth right first of all uh texture temperature movement and flavor which one is first and second Always by the semi-automatic nervous system you have no control over tell us s okay first one is texture anything you put in the mouth second one is temperature so obviously if it's crunchy and hard and hot you're natur not going to understand the flavor your brain is just going to activate it's defense system is it too hot what is it it's a foreign object in my body okay so yeah I'm going to be really upset so am I gonna the point is is that if you get it that's why Sushi is kind of interesting because sushi comes out of this Acceptance in Japan of the body and S and sensual yes and so it's a movement into projecting sensual and know we're getting up but the sensual space of how we use our body so fuchsia talked about crunch what's interesting to me would be about the psychology of why do we have that because they choose to do something and they choose to not do something else but anyway if you put something 10 seconds in the middle right then chew because you get the retronasal there's two parts smell first first of all smell like in a wine thing get the right software in your head so is it a fruit or is it you know is it a hot dog get the Right Chew for a few seconds then stop and then the enzymatic response is 10 to 15 some flavors take 30 minutes to develop on the palette completely but I always take 10 seconds and then chart what I'm going to ask you yes is it a fast flavor or a slow flavor okay okay so lemon is fast okay pork fat is slow is it long or short mhm okay so for what do you mean long or short okay a glass of wine can be very long it can be very short but raisins we always start with raisins we take something that people know okay so is a raisin long or short actually it's long how many then we go for so it's fairly slow it's fairly long and taste occurs over time and space do not use cognitive systems for sensual perception what you're doing is vocabulary is symbolically compressed in order to be expediated in terms of the way we communicate right however it does not communicate sensual otherwise we would have no paintings poetries or music right well once you tell people not to use words that really throw that you have to activate other cognitive perceptual systems so so no words no words body temperature body temperature um don't chew don't you minimum of 15 seconds and then memory is important what I want you to do then is taste it the second time cuz what you will have missed is that basically it's gone by you're going to fill in you know when you scan and you read yes you can actually see understand by scanning the brain scans known flavors it fills in complexity you taste at 200th of a second you have 2,500 taste buds each one has 10,000 nerve endings those 2 million perceptions per second your brain is going to be have to figure out where to put them and how to categorize them unless you have preset categories and really quickly so memory you've had it and I let you do it the second time you will see that you can fill it in and you you'll be able to get the richness the complexity and the length of the flavor but by telling people taste occurs over time and space just that sentence is the first one I always start with you have to move into that perceptional way of thinking about taste it is not immediate it's not cognitive it's not electronic it's not oral it occurs and the enzymatic response of the Body for breaking down the flavonoids it takes time and what people don't give me is time they don't give you time they don't give me perceptual time so how much how much does the culinary Cutting Edge depend on context let's say we took a Mark Miller equivalent of 50 years ago and fed that person not a very young you but someone your age now 50 years ago who knew the foods of that time fed that Mark Miller The Culinary Cutting Edge of today how much would he be able to appreciate it a lot a lot a lot yeah I think because the context of using the body and perceptual space Remains the Same okay I may have changed from Alena from shapanese to Alena to you know we're toing about generations of restaurants I think that chefs or I think that what culinary art does is it moves our ability to move our perceptional sense of exploring the world just as a weaving or painting does and it creates other realities that we may not have actually realized that we're there but we're there when I talked about chilies I was the first person now H why was I the first person to write a book that chilies had flavors they've been eating Jiles for 5,000 years yes I went to Robert mandavi we did a seminar and I proved to him that they were like grapes and that when you blend chilies into mole it took as much art and complexity as a wine maker and he was actually shocked but he said I was correct yes but he had never thought but he had never tasted right sometimes so don't go in with the wrong perceptional don't think that Chile are hot for instance sometimes I wonder about this you're what in my opinion what is sometimes called a super taster you can taste fine gradations and different flavors and items a level Beyond how much other people can even people who might call themselves Foodies right you have some special sensory ability well actually this the the term and you can read how super taster is about the number of actual taste buds per centimeter on your palet and actually I am not logically a super taster in terms of the number of receptors that I have I don't think that Baron bernon you know who's one of the greatest art critics or you know or turn actually had extraordinary eyesight but you're you're maybe better than a super taster it's at the cognitive on your tongue what I try to do is what remember the book the shallows came out I I try to do deep tasting like deep reading are we looking for patterns that exist within the perceptional space that I am not that I wasn't looking for before so all of taste is about part of its memory part of its perception part of it's connecting those complexities I I am I would be also interesting enough I'm slightly handicapped because I have a little bit of auditory processing disorder so what happens is when I was a child all of the world around me was categorized into taste I don't I don't I can hear fine but it creates cognitive dissonance I can't drive the car the point was because I learned that my brain can actually look at tastes and actually make the world around me sensible that when I looked at a raisin people would said what do you mean that there's more flavors and raas says no pay attention listen listen carefully if you ever listen to a like a Harps sortis people can't they they their retention span is has to be so precise that it's a difference of a 40th of a second now when you play another electronic music you don't develop that skill set how many different flavors or kinds of soy sauce can you distinguish by taste oh I've done a panel of 40 at a time I think that I've done I've had a kitchen uh home of up to 70 at a time um and you can tell one from the other you learn by saltiness by sweetness they all they all have a characteristic profile of of complexities of uh um mamies as we might call them flavor dark Rich tones uh if you put 10 if you put if you put 15 Cabernet in front of me I can still tell you can do that anybody can do that so we generally don't think of shur soy sauces as being that complex so when we taste it we don't when we have if I tell you this is a $800 bottle of wine you turn on your complexity sort of perceptional scan but I tell you that this is a a Mexican taco you you don't turn It On You' already Prejudice I do but yes you do you do so soy SAU is to me or when you're in Japan the pickle on the table will tell me within 20 mi of where you grew up and where you live and the and the Sho at the at the sushi each great sushi house not sushi bars actually Blends their own shoo and I can tell not only whether you're from Edo but what generation are you from the 30s the 40s or the 50s of what generation did you actually grow up to actually believe that that was the style of the shoyo and if you're in Kyoto these people they you know they they Japan is really good that way because it is literally those 40 regions are so maintaining that isolation that you learn the differences from going from one to another I I can go from I can take a train of two hours in Japan and cover more culinary differences than you can in the United States thank you for those wonderful remarks Mark with that I turn the questioning over to Megan McArdle of Bloomberg uh well um huh this is it's a little weird being the only questioner uh talk about why you talked about how women and men's pallets are different how is their cooking different I mean I there's a a editor I know uh now at eer was it seor then who said that uh that male cookery was all sort of knives guts and fire um KN knives spice and fire I think was how she put it and that often seems like a fair characterization to me my guy friends really want to load up the heat they really I remember having a guy tell me that like the secret to to really good cooking was just dump Cajun seasoning all over everything um what you know how do how do women cook differ well I mean you you we're not going to get into developmental Theory here characteris I I can tell you that you know the general broad Strokes women are essentially more concerned with internal experiences they are more motivated to talk to someone in a at a dining room table and a guy will look at the television you get four guys in the four women talk to each other for you know the point is is that they early on there's there's there's a better internalization of the phenomenological world inside the body so they actually begin to recognize those characteristics of things that are what I would call Body perception so that tends to be a little bit more subtle it tends to be a little bit more in time um and they don't like the transformative process as much as understanding the the and this I'm going out but they would prefer to accept the flavor personality as is and understand it rather than change it into something that I do so like fuchsia said if you took that carrot that pork that kidney and just made it spicy that's what guys they want to take change it and transform it they want to create something new they want to actually not allow if you allowed nature to take its course then you wouldn't be cooking you don't have the heat you're not transforming the spice and so we're women except for Lydia Lydia Shire in Boston she's the only woman that I could never tell women tend to actually believe that their that the ingredients should be left alone Alis Waters or that school of of cooking and that you can literally coax natural ingredients into something that's complex and satisfying and sophisticated and healthy and it's sustainable it's even better but man you know I I believe that if we go that too far that we're not going to learn how to make moles that we're not concerned with other black beans soups I would rather learn how to make when I lived in Guatemala every woman in the village made black bean soup not one of those women ever told me you know I I I go to the I go to the market and buy organic black beans so mine's better not every woman knew how good her black bean soup was the best woman in the village she was 37 steps and she really got me going so I traded to her weel now women tend to be more focused and more creative and more subtle it doesn't mean that they're not as Rich a tradition it just means that it's a different level of recognition uh does that make sense yes absolutely Mescal or tequila uh chichicapa by Del m is my favorite mcal in the world and um when it's Tequilas I still go for silvers not the unless you repres and and a margarita you should always use Silvers because they don't have any wood and if you're using fruit whether it's a mango strawberry anything else that idea of the gold coin or the upscale that's just a marketing ploy to make more money but it makes makes them more money but it makes worse Margaritas Mescal I mean Mescal though was and is a native tradition built on Extreme attention to Nature and it's only wild Agave each one of the penes that Ron uses only can produce 400 cases a year and it's it's totally out of that Village and that tradition and even though those 20 Villages or within 100 miles they might as well be like two continents apart because they're they express the whole world of you put five painters in Paris in 1900 and you get different paintings in the same building in wmart right your favorite guilty pleasure bad food oh it's not a bad food it's ice cream ice cream is is God's gift to to depression flavor any particular oh I like them all I I I happen to like cold I have a very sensitive palette so I won't eat any hot soups or teas or or things I always eat cold uh when I when I can get it and that's preferable um that's that would be my my preference is and and if if you had to say um hot Fred Sunday how's that so uh I am someone who we talked about this a little earlier uh I have never been able to stand the taste of cooked fish and I have been trying because it's good for me and my husband loves fish but that fishy flavor makes me gag um how would you advise someone like me and you know obviously this is a broader question than just fish is someone who has something I'm generally pretty willing to eat almost anything but you have that one thing or you have a couple things where you're desperate to like be able to tolerate it how do you how do you go about learning well we talked earlier that I I don't eat cooked fish at night because the enzymes in your body change and I I eat raw fish and chish but you actually may be the Super taster because super no super tasters tend to have and that's problem of the problem with parents who don't realize the child they become very fixated and they like that don't like things because they're so powerful Sensations for them children in particular don't really know what to do with that category so if they had something that was green that was very bitter that's why they won't eat green beans and won't they associate then the entire category is something that they're going to be defensive about your question about cook fish would be have you ever tried like flame broiled you know sashimi and a sushi I can I like a seared tuna right that's basically raw inside just has yeah I can totally eat that it's when it's like a cooked salmon or something no but how far is it cooked you know how many degrees uh no I I I I'm not I'm not daring enough to cook my own fish because I hate Flav flavenoids develop and change over every two or three degrees that's why it's a Moma the more you cook meat it's going to get no the more Livery it's going to get fish is exactly the same so what you want to do is get a piece of fish and find out 130 I bet you the higher on the more more objectionable flavor noids have not developed it's cooked 135 is cooked it'll go up five but I would just go home and do salmon and hbet I would start with halet because it's has it's it could be the oils it could be a combination of oils and flavor Nos and or we could just you know make a really spicy fish when we go to Country Mar in Mexico City and just put red and green chili and throw it in the grill and I bet you would eat it it would be wonderful the Su Revolution how do you feel about this well I I've been working with it a long time I worked with American Airlines in the 8 90s I'm worked Cuisine Solutions one of the it it is an amazing technique and it tends to be overused by chefs who believe that a perfect texture is preferable to a more complex uneven now the brain actually it's wrong though because the brain doesn't know what it is it knows what it's not so te teaching flavor is not teaching what that ingredient is it's teaching what it's not so if I have a soused piece of lamb and it's not crusted and it's not browned and there's no myard and then it's not when you look at lamb and it has Rosé 50% it will start darker it'll be more my yarded it'll be cooked what the brain then has four or five different perceptional zones to actually understand and appreciate and differentiate a soused piece of lamb that's pink all the way through with one texture with no my arding and no flavor of the Lamb developed because it never went high enough well actually won't be lamby enough and it'll taste like a lamb piece of bubble gum or a sponge now I don't I I use interruptive suid so I do a Chinese squab that I put an intensity I used to brine it for 48 hours with 14 spices mainly cumin and chilies to get it all the way through the scrub then roast it and then deep fry it like the Chinese I found it by S eing it they went in by 2 hour so the fresh was squab was F then I cook it suid at a different higher temperature even after it's get BR and then I fry it deep fry it so I find that you know that what I call interruptive suit as a technique which doesn't which takes the you get intensity without preserving some freshness so let's say that I did scallops and I do them s my scallops are cooked for exactly 18 minutes and with a wine dinner I want to match the chamomile in a SV Blan well how do I do that actually I actually put in some fresh camomile with the scallops cook it suid and the aromatic profile goes through I made a little Tata do this and that and that s Blan with that is amazing what is the biggest mistake that people make when they go into a Southwestern Restaurant and sit down and Order well they want chips and Sal so that's a big mistake why so so explain this well I mean it's it's it's a phenomena that that they first of all they get it free second of all uh chip are usually done poorly and then the salsa is usually done poorly uh and it's a good excuse to sit there and drink beers and margaritas which is you know I don't need that excuse but what you're looking for is is is something that comes into um let's say buffalo we all we eat more Buffalo I was cooking Buffalo it was difficult to sell back in the 70s and 8 we know it's healthier we know it has less cholesterol so and the other thing is you want intense small portions of food you don't want to you know so when you're looking at a Southwest menu you want to look for the sauces the complexity you want to look for things that would probably take you that some things have been cured the like even red sage what was the first thing that we did we actually did a Carpaccio of wild venison we had a tartar mixed of Venison and buffalo with sage we made you know that was on the first manual red sage in 1990 now if you go around the United States 25 years later you don't find that anymore so uh if you were if answer the question but no that's a if someone came to you this is a game my family used to play in the car someone comes to you and says uh I'm a fairy you are only going to be allowed to eat three foods for the rest of your life three dishes three specific dishes so not like tacos but a kind of Taco uh you don't have to worry about nutrition you don't have to worry about calories but you have to pick three foods and those are the only three foods you can you can ever have again which three foods uh certainly Lobster CU I I grew up in in that part of the world Nova Scotia cooked in seaweed you know with butter drawn butter you know um I would say you know my short dinner which is lobster clams and you know they're all they're all the one meal they don't they're not three foods everyone always tries to live oysters oysters fried clams you know but lobster for sure I would say my second one would be yes I would oh boy I would something spicy and I I Vibe between Thai and Mexican you know is my two favorite spicy cuisines in the world and I would I would probably say a Mexican sort of you know amazing sort of Taco with great Salsas and and the right kind of you know tortilla the the third thing I might say would be surprisingly probably just a cheleta De Bu you know a 5-year-old cow Northern Spain roasted completely correctly and the Umami of each piece of meat is is better than any other meat that exists in the world would there are better richer things in Japan but that part of Northern Spain is just amazing what part of Northern Spain is that uh it's outside of borgos okay yeah and uh it's extension of The Basque area those are working cattle and you saw the film on you know the world world of stake I'm sure and um and there's one that I like in in Barcelona which actually has does the esper drills out of out of the C cucumbers to but I think that the honesty of French of Spanish food even though I went to El many times about seven or eight times Still Remains uh a Cuisine that those those we talked about the ham that fuchsia found we talked about ham in the dolomites I think that we we look culturally for our I think that we're always searching for those Foods in our environment that give us pleasure that extend the body into that space and that elongate our perceptional way of interacting with the world so when someone talks about three-year-old Hugo it's not that it's that expensive and it's that complex and that's interesting that it requires so much of you to actually perceive it that it you are more alive you are more there the ham is more there that sense of presence is there and I think that's what great P that's what a great chef can do you can stimulate that sense of being there and we're losing that the virtual reality that's happening we're losing our sense of being in presence Korean tacos Korean tacos I know Roy so that's not fair I know Roy personally I think it's a good example Le of what Roy calls authentic food he grew up in La Roy Choy is Korean he is La which has a lot of Mexican food and the sense of combining his own interior reality into a projection on that plate to me is perfect food w a chef should always be doing I'm not Mexican and the reason that I created modern Southwestern I think it would be a lie for me to do a Mexican restaurant Roberto Sant Benz at fond was a good friend and a partner of mine it's salsa company is Mexican from Mexico City and does cook great Mexican food and I think that you you can learn but you should not co-opt an entire culture or identity you you you you know I was at that I was at shap penes and I didn't want to cook like Alice Waters anymore so I was after you know it wasn't my it's nothing wrong with shapanese but it wasn't my food and I was always arguing about it sometimes but the point is when a chef really understands the world and ingredients and can bring that reality to his dining public that's an amazing amazing you know explosion of of creativity and emotion and theater and it's wonderful right if you had to sum up your food if you had to if you had to in a couple of sentences say this is what uh this is what my food was and why I needed to go do or is hopefully or is no no no when you I meant when you left shap pise this is we we all created the menus of shape pise it wasn't else but even then no I there a couple I was only because I my one of my advisers didn't say my thesis go down anyway I was supposed to be there for two weeks so um I think that my food is is a personal exploration of my own exploration of the world and I look at the world through my senses mostly through taste sometimes smell I'm not a bad nose and what I'm trying to do is understand not only the world we live in but sometimes past cultures I try to look at pre-colombian weavings I try to get a list of all the pre-colombian foods and we see for instance at Central which is a very famous restaurant Lima today that that complexity of these Chas and this and things that grow were probably used and and stimulate the problem is do we actually have the pallet to actually go back wouldn't you like to live in I don't want to just see a rembrand painting or I love the I love you know this I want to actually go back and eat the food that he was eating in the markets and the cheeses and the things that were done because I want to try to understand where that Painting came from not only the psychology of the artist so when I read a when I read a cookbook or I go to a restaurant I'm trying to understand the person or the place or the culture fast food so you know no this is the dark the dark side well but uh can it be done well it is done well I mean fast food is done well in Japan the places I go I eat udon I walk in it's being made by hand it cost $2 I decide what I'm going to put on top and I have a bowl and I timed it it's 18 seconds McDonald's it's a lifetime you know Starbucks Starbucks is 8.4 minutes that is too longes too long robot chefs I I'm this into into fast food but you know you've seen these machines now that they're going to have that's going to like dice everything and it'll you won't need any human interaction at all what do you think of that probably would anybody notice I I I I really um you know I think fast food I think that our model in the United States because of the real estate and economics of it is completely wrong I think that a chef should open a restaurant at 10 seats I think he should charge $100 and I think he should make 150 and he should not pay rent or have ex have Labor or have overhead or cost and what you should do is honor the tradition of respecting the individual so in in Japan they have this policy of not first customer what you there's a policy of not taking you because they don't know how you're going to act they don't know who you are they you're also eating with you're not eating with you're eating with seven or eight other people as an ensemble you're you're not completely separate so the idea of of re of reinstituting cultural and social space and bonds and honoring the chef is here and put something down there's no waitress there's no menu the point is is that that's the reality of you and that's a personal connection it's like your mother the point whether it's that point to me is that we have to go back to understanding that food is very part of our our psychological sense of space our body sense of space our pleasurable sense of space our own cultural identity and if we let other people take over that by organic or this or labels or price then what we've done is given that part of our lives up and I don't know that we're I'm just saying this there's 300 noodle places in Kyoto nobody charges more than $10 or12 they're all really good they're all a little bit different and guess who does doesn't do well chains that charge $10 for noodles that they have to pay highend real estate like isoya there's two of them in Kyo I've been going to K for 50 years I've never been I'm never going to go there's no reason to go chains only exist when the local community doesn't provide the same service so in in a in a a street food market it's accessible so I can eat in Thailand a quail for 75 that same quail in Washington DC and New York City will cost me like $18.95 Megan mark thank you very much thank you very much

Big Picture: Supply Mission
this is the big picture an official television report of the united states army produced for the armed forces and the american people now to show you part of the big picture here is master sergeant stuart quaint in the years before written history a famous army was stalled before the walls of a famous city finally in desperation it turned to its engineers and those early engineers built the trojan horse and changed stalemate into victory well there's not much demand in our modern army for trojan horses but the army's corps of engineers has been asked to build almost everything else in today's big picture we'd like to introduce you to the men and women whose job it is to provide combat engineers in the field with the equipment they need when they need it without this footbridge these troops would have been stopped without this floating bridge a lifeline of vital heavy equipment would have been halted a road carved out of a mountainside and an airstrip constructed almost overnight in a far corner of the world all built in combat by your army engineers here and there is a temporary sign but there are thousands of projects which are unmarked the services of those who carry out the desperate work of construction during the heat of combat or during days and nights of extreme urgency where the job must be finished regardless of danger or difficulty or fatigue or hunger this story cannot be told often enough nor can it omit the important role of those who provide the equipment and keep it in running order for the moment when it is needed in america's defense not only men but equipment the right equipment must be ready in times of peace your engineers must be instantly prepared to give aid when disaster strikes when nature goes out of control meeting the emergency and seeming perfectly designed for its location a new bridge replaces the one washed out by flood waters whenever and wherever the nation suffers large-scale destruction the engineers are on the scene but how does it happen that in addition to the men the right equipment is on hand obviously a vast well-planned system of supply is required to bring forth the right materials not only for emergencies that may occur in peace time but for the major need of national defense in depots all over the world this system of supply must have engineer equipment for the soldier on hand combat ready to see what is on hand in the storage depots overseas equipment constantly to be maintained serviced repaired and replaced is to understand part of the supply story and to see similar long lines of bulldozers and other heavy construction equipment stocked in depots in the states is to begin to recognize the size and scope of engineer supply activities phases of the supply mission such as recording and cataloging all these items and seeing to it that they are properly shipped when called for these alone are giant tasks for the seemingly superhuman job of inventory control this country has developed literally super human electronic data processing equipment this equipment has become essential for our modern army electrical machines recording depot inventories keeping stock records recording repair parts levels these process huge amounts of data at a very high speed they save time and effort and they help tremendously in speeding the delivery of engineer items to the users in the united states and overseas the system of linked business machines which among other things does away with old-fashioned file cabinets filled with bulky in various sized forms has greatly increased efficiency staffs can be smaller but must be more highly trained they are needed to process and interpret the supply data the machines turn out all information is translated into machine codes on small compact easy to store punched cards when special information is needed a sorting machine will find it thus eliminating the time and labor of rummaging through large and bulky file cabinets the newest most elaborate equipment used by the corps of engineers is the giant electronic brain the brain's memory is on reels of magnetic tape which carry the facts and figures of supply as many as 40 000 characters of information are available at any one time the brain is 100 logical and instantly reports mistakes to the operator besides analyzing data the machine is able to predict future trends and supply requirements used for inventory control the electronic brain is a time and money saver a product of american ingenuity it is a tremendous value to national defense here in the depots are the facts and figures in physical form that the brain handles and digests with such remarkable ease masses of construction equipment as far as the eye can see and all of it each item is well known and recorded in the extensive data system of engineer supply by number location and condition trucks cranes trailers ditchers all of it identified and in order bridge parts piled high for all types of bridges baileys and pontons fixed and floating when the demand arises the proper bridge can be shipped in a minimum of time where it is needed for the bridges that must be floated there must be boats these two are engineer equipment here the boats are being tested by civilian specialists before being shipped to an engineer bridge unit these boats must be tough and capable of taking plenty of punishment they are small tugs needed for a myriad of tasks such as towing and pushing floating bridge sections and ferrying equipment or men in combat they are easily handled lifted in and out of the water as simply as toys for the varied over-water tasks which the corps of engineers may be called upon to perform at a moment's notice there are several types of work boats available another collection of supplies crane parts and attachments the crane always a source of interest to the sidewalk superintendent has almost as many attachments for digging as a dentist drill buckets and hoes and shovels each type for a purpose to see even a portion of what is contained in the engineer's supply system is to understand a phase of american preparedness the large amounts of different kinds of construction equipment and supplies these are weapons too they are the very best that american industry can produce for our military construction forces they are essential to success in war because equipment must be ready for issue at all times the supply mission includes care and preservation of this equipment here is one of the shops in which this kind of work is done steam cleaning each item receives the individual treatment it requires there was a time when mothballing techniques applied to such vehicles as this baby bulldozer meant a liberal pouring of grease over everything in sight today preservatives are applied to relatively few parts of the equipment a special aluminum wrapper is being used on a piece of equipment to keep out moisture the aluminum cloth moisture barrier will protect this item indefinitely under normal storage conditions the cloth is sealed by machine delicate instruments are given this type of storage treatment one tractor protected against weather for anywhere from 18 months to three years ready to leave the care and preservation shop for storage no one knows when it may be called for it may be three weeks three months or three years it may be for the arctic or the tropics for the desert or the jungle but when the demand comes the equipment must be ready those machines returned from the field for overhaul are regarded as something of a challenge by the men in the repair shop it's a major job to strip down a bulldozer but in doing so in providing a top to bottom overhaul even to sand blasting the body and parts clean of old paint the aim is to return the machine to the user as good as or better than new after a paint job a dozer blade is attached to this model and it is ready to roll beside the big equipment that must be restored to first class working condition there are many small items that are supplied by the engineers and therefore must be repaired by them the infantryman's sniper scope is one of these capable of throwing a beam of infrared light for a considerable distance the sniper scope is used at night to allow american sharpshooters to literally see in the dark precise measurements are all important in instrument repair shops where meters and gauges themselves are repaired these tell a vital story about equipment and how it is operating the key to the maintenance and overhaul of engineer equipment is in the large number of different repair parts required inventory control of repair parts is a complex and difficult operation electronic machines greatly facilitate the work of procurement storage and issue of repair parts a request comes in in the form of a punched card the holes carry all the information requesting agency date the part required method of shipment and so on this card and others are fed into the machine and the electronic brain will locate the nearest depot storing the part issue a warehouse order and report the number of spares in stock no one need refer to the files no pages need be studied no telephone calls need to be made in a matter of minutes an order goes out to the depot nearest to the agency making the request here in an area stocking great quantities of engineer supplies a highly organized system allows the orders to be filled with remarkable speed and efficiency fundamental in the operation is the chain belt principle various types of conveyances are in motion throughout the area and in the warehouses to simplify the routing of thousands of items which are simultaneously being processed the corps of engineers uses the best methods employed by modern industry and takes pride in moving with the times every effort is made to save unnecessary steps and movements this ingenious device called a tovare makes a round trip throughout the plant every 51 minutes thus providing a long distance chain belt for carrying small items from one section of the warehouse to another oil after aisle is lined with bins in this depot there are thousands of individual bins each one storing a different repair part and in few of these bins is their time for dust to gather for almost all of them contain fast turnover items also every phase of the operation has been scientifically worked out from the standpoint of the individual worker to avoid strain and to prevent injury in the bins items are stored according to weight and size commonly drawn items are at elbow height while the light items are frequently stored at the very top the items selected are now headed for the shipping department there is no pause in filling the order from the time it is received of the many problems of storage one is the damage to equipment caused by moisture within packing cases a humidity sensing device is being used here to indicate the moisture within the box most of the problems of moving and storing large boxes are solved by the amazing little forklift trucks these are an integral part of any large warehouse operation frequently civilian employees devise ideas which aid in carrying out the supply mission a set of rollers eliminates tugging and straining in the handling of heavy boxes and here a machine called a packmaster which wraps small parts was improved upon by an employee's suggestion to the effect that the same machine could label the part as well as packet there are endless problems in packaging small parts a plastic shield protecting the operator from flying particles given off by this ceiling machine was an employee's suggestion resulting in safer operation to protect the individual and to speed the part on its way these are two important aims in this phase of engineer supply among the many methods of protecting parts is a dip in a plastic bath simple and effective the tover arrives in the shipping section with an order transmitted earlier by the electronic brain fan blades destined for a depot in france here the supplies are given final packing and are addressed everything flows along smoothly in a warehouse system second to none at many stages there are machines to carry out work that once took many man-hours banding machine quickly and neatly reinforces the box a nailing machine does its work with remarkable simplicity and efficiency the fan blades are on their way in a few hours they will be on a plane and in a few days they will be at the depot in france while most of the work at engineer depots is done by civilians the army must have military personnel capable of setting up and running depots and maintenance shops in zones of military operations these young soldiers are undergoing on-the-job training prior to serving overseas part of the training includes running their own depot participating in all the basic supply activities that are commonly found in the full-scale operation working with an assortment of supplies they become familiar with the practical problems of stock issue and control since complicated electronic equipment has become part and parcel of the engineer supply system and is to be used overseas experience with its operation is part of the on-the-job training program men have been selected on the basis of aptitude for this advanced instruction many career opportunities are present in this field national defense is expensive so we are constantly seeking ways of making it less costly let us turn now from equipment and supplies to a man whose job is saving the taxpayer hundreds of thousands of dollars every year one of the corps of engineers standardization experts mr bruce dollison not long after the end of world war ii we began dropping items which were nice to have but not really necessary we made intensive studies of identical or interchangeable items and since the korean conflict we have succeeded in dropping over one hundred thousand engineer repair part items without weakening our supply effort here is an example of economizing this familiar item gasoline tank caps used to be stocked in 87 different sizes and types we now have reduced this to six basic types and sizes some of which are shown here perhaps you have noticed in the back of your electric refrigerator small pipes these are made of copper tubing the core of engineers had over 3000 requirements for copper tubing each with a different stock number we now cut these items from bulk tubing using simple tools which are in the hands of the men in the field thus eliminating 2 500 line items when you press the little switch on the floorboard of your automobile to dim your headlights this is the little dimmer switch gadget that does the work through standardization we have succeeded in reducing several of these items with the same function to one incidentally it is a less costly item when you take your automobile to the filling station to have your car greased these little grease fittings are the port of entry for the lubricating grease note on this board are 120 grease fittings which were formerly stocked under 120 different part numbers because we bought them from different manufacturers we have now stocked these under one federal stock number and in one bin the average cost used to be 22 cents each we now pay an average of three cents each so standardization results in not only space and manpower savings but procurement savings we have succeeded in eliminating over 5 000 line items of gaskets by the use of bulk material the man in the field cuts out his own gaskets hand in hand with the program of eliminating all unnecessary repair parts by standardization we have developed a small engine program in six sizes one half one and one half three six ten and twenty horsepower designed to meet the power needs of the armed forces these six engines replace 78 now presently being supplied the military services at the present time at the continental motors plant in detroit these engines are being assembly line tested these engines will run water pumps air compressors and hundreds of other items standardization is a huge step forward in ease of maintenance for the men in the field in war you cannot purchase or place a value on time standardization constantly recognizes new ideas research and development and a better way of doing things sometimes we compare it to the daily task of shaving no matter how well you do it today it still has to be done again tomorrow our goal in standardization is a better and more economical way of supplying engineer troops whatever the secret weapons a nation might have none can perform without the support of construction power america can be proud of its ability to manufacture and ship the equipment supplies and repair parts needed to assure the construction power when called for by military units and for numberless purposes including aid to our allies in the mutual assistance program these car loads of equipment symbolize not only our industrial might but our clear recognition of the necessities of preparedness a job needs to be done it is being done and these shipments to units here and abroad suggest to the countless constructive purposes for which this type of equipment can be employed the future we do not know but the past is full of lessons for the future a shipment of supplies by truck recalls world war ii's red ball express for rushing equipment to the men in the front lines today we are continuing to think of the race against time and here for example new techniques for mass airborne transportation of heavy engineer equipment are under test the work goes on a joint effort by a civilian military team to develop the best techniques for supplying the finest equipment available to those who must use it and maintain it in the face of countless difficulties and dangers your combat engineers in war in peace whenever america can use their services united states army engineers are standing by ready when needed now this is sergeant stuart queen inviting you to be with us again next week for another look at your army in action on the big picture the big picture is an official television report for the armed forces and the american people produced by the army pictorial center presented by the united states army in cooperation
