This video was brought to you by my patrons. Thank you so much for your support Hey, I know it's been a while since I last posted here, but hear me out. I have some good news so if you've been following me on Twitter, I Pretty sure you know that I almost died last month. I got coveted So I literally almost died my case was pretty bad But I'm recovering really well. So Everything is fine during that this time so it was almost a Enforced vacation or something like that when I came back. I was really like hyped to get back to work I don't know if the medicines had anything with that because They did with other parts of my life But I plan a lot of stuff. So let me show you pick that YouTube. So since we are on YouTube Let's show YouTube stuff So I had the time to actually organize my project for YouTube before that I didn't have a schedule because I didn't actually know what to post. So everything was like, hey I want to post that so let's post that So if you see here, it would look like a mess because there are a lot of inter-project Stuff to do it like updating moon teaser for upcoming course. I will talk about that later. I Will start a podcast the pig cast I have already some guests confirmed some other not so confirmed The ones that are not confirmed. I will blur Then we have this to the list with a lot of content to actually explore. I would I want to talk about like For the productivity and other stuff. So here is the major change that I would like to talk about with you This channel is not just tutorials anymore When I feel the need of making tutorials, there are some tutorials playing here So don't worry that will be tourists, but not only for good old and more I want to make tutorials for like an LMS inkscape. I just don't have the The know-how to make tutorials for these tools yet But they are totally planned. So yeah, lots of tutorials planned here. Lots of videos planned I learned how to actually research for topics that you are actually Requesting it's not just me wanting to make my stuff like Was before now I have like a workflow to actually take the video topic and filter if either it is used for or not Now comes the real real major changing change So now I have a a Site for a branch. So big dev Now is branched into the studio which sells games and game assets and the Academy Which guess what we sell courses and educational content. So for the Academy, I'm playing something that I Don't know if I show you or not But yeah, so remember the experiments that I was making before and there are some Pretty neat stuff here planned. So yeah, it's behind schedule, but I will get to that That there is the experiments and I was thinking about using the same framework like having each Community as a forum to discuss the topics of the project using some I will explain the course structure later But the first course that I will make is based on moon teaser if you don't know which is there I will put the link in the description is a very cool game I will make some upgrades and update it to like recent changes the recent techniques and Try to make enough sales to take the money and Make a port to Android because the game was actually planned to be on mobile for that I'll be used the same structure of my Experiments so let me go to this permits project So in experiments we have what what each Provides us there is a community which I find very useful especially for learning content So we have like a lot of topics. We have some boards So we can talk about general stuff about the course We can talk about the art the design the engineering the tools the production we can share some Updates on our project and the idea of the course is that you will start with The the game which is in Jesus the base project which is in Jesus and we will go through every Decision so you know how why did I went with this design pattern? Why did I choose flat design? Why did I pick up like a mouse on space and what dinner is that game? So the course will be about making a flat design infinite runner game and Actually put it into actually publishing it You will feel the idea is that you by the end of the course you will have a Flat design infinite runner game that is yours with your with your soul on it And you will be able to sell it as well We'll use each as a platform for selling that so you can share your product on this community and stuff like this But this is not Everything I have a lot playing and as you know timing short we have a Lifespan, so we have to prioritize stuff, right? So not everything will happen In a short period of time. I will have to prioritize stuff But the priority right now is actually updating and upgrading moon teaser So when we have the time to make the course, we'll have a very very feature-rich game to explore and I think that that that's it. We will have lots of content lots of different content in this channel Not only tutorials not only go to anymore. We'll have to Grow it's time to grow I will actually sell courses This is new because I work on the request we make courses the VFX course was Basically a design by me and created by Nathan was you already bought it, right? If you didn't acquire the the VFX the good VFX course links in the description is a very very very good course You'll learn like the seat. I think that this is the name of the course to the secret to the VFX secrets Yeah, you love the secrets to make visual visual effects in good old engine Check it out So I never had the time to order the courage actually to make my own course and manage my own course project So I think that it's time. It's time to do that And that's it. I hope you enjoy these changes and I will really really need your support on that journey because Man, I will spend some time here. So that's it for now. Thank you so much for watching keep developing and until the next time


multiple different cuts because you could, you could basically like when you bought pounds of it, you'd get some bags that all smelled like the purple indica or like ultraviolet or whatever, but if you got the perps like from Tacoma, it'd have like big 20 gram colas in it, right?  And when I grew out the blueberry or the unknown cut, basically I grew it a few times and I was like, there's no way that this is the Tacoma perp cutting. I don't know if it's the ultraviolet. I don't know if it's the UW perp. I don't really know what cut it is because I don't have anything to reference it by in terms of other cuts. So I called it purple indica. That was how it got its name, right? So it became PI, right?


Ladies and gentlemen, I'm going to be talking about dealing with the price oil shock in Nigeria's country. As you know, of course, Nigeria is one of the greatest countries in the world exporting oil. Recently I've had a lot of problems and I'm going to be talking about the problems. My paper actually talks about various things in terms of the macroeconomic effects of the price oil shock, how we'll be managing revenue from oil, transparency from oil, issues about debt and all of that. But I'm not going to go into all of that. I'm going to try to zero in what I'm going to talk about by providing a very simple outline, which where in first place I'll talk about stylized fats and I'll talk about the importance of oil in the Nigerian economy and I'm going to talk about the growth of the Nigerian economy itself. And then I was then zero on the wake-up call of 2014, which is very significant for us, and then I'll talk about the policy response to the price shock, then the macroeconomic effects of the oil price shock, and lastly I will talk about trying to diversify the economy, the issues and concerns that are currently being faced in Nigeria. Well, let me start with the stylized fats. I'd like to state very clearly that Nigeria is full of paradoxes. A country in which the majority of the citizens are actually suffering in the midst of plenty. We have plenty of money before, at least that's how we thought, but apparently the money had not been adequately used to reflect what should be done in terms of priorities. Secondly, the current state of Nigeria's economy is the resultant effect of external and internal factors. The internal factors of course are zeroing. For the worst economic situation can be aggregated, all that what I'll call macroeconomic policy errors. And these errors of the past and also the recent policy makers, mainly bad mix of macroeconomic policy, traditional policies, lack of vision, misconception on the stability of oil revenue, thinking that the windfall which you get from oil revenue is really permanent income, corruption, and of course poor governance. A lot of people have put a lot of emphasis on corruption and poor governance. Indeed, somebody I launched today asked me, how are we dealing with corruption in Nigeria? How is Buhari dealing with corruption? Of course, this does not say that Nigeria is the only corrupt country in the world. There are varying degrees of corruption all around the world. Thirdly, the impact of the sharp and prolonged decline in commodity prices have been most severe and had been estimated by Vandalisim and Gangalisim in the world producing Nigel Delta, with the menace being created by what we call the Nigel Delta Avengers, attacking oil pipelines and causing a lot of disruption. For being the largest school-level producer in the region and certainly heavily dependent on oil revenue, Nigeria has started recording weak economic growth from 2015 to now. And that Nigeria is now in recession is no longer in doubt because we have steadily recorded, you know, from 2016, two quarters of negative growth rate. I'll talk about that when I get to that. Well, the adverse impact of the lower commodity prices of course were compared among other factors. By weaker export demand, the declining crude oil demand from India, China, and U.S. These are Nigeria's top export destinations for crude oil. Later, declining Nigeria's export performance in the first quarter of 2016, in the first half of 2016, for example, India and the United States slashed crude oil imports by 43 and 53 percent, respectively. This is significant for us because with the Vandalism going on, with the reduction in all these places, of course it meant less revenue, which we use in the federation account for distribution to various states. Five, the military conditions such as policy uncertainty and security conditions have estimated economic woes that Nigeria faced today. Such uncertainty, of course, are many and I'll mention some of them. Certainly, I'm going to mention the Boko Haramiju shortly. Nigeria's crude oil production, constantly lived greatly by Vandalism attacks on oil and gas facilities and pipelines. All these have had negative impacts on Nigeria's foreign exchange earnings and also on the revenue prospects for the country. The bottom line is that the present crisis shows the need for a deep rethink of Nigeria development strategy to try to diversify the economy. Develop new sources of sustainable, inclusive growth and zero tolerance for corruption. That is key and that's why I call it the bottom line for whatever it is we're going to do. Now, the importance of oil. Oil is very important to Nigerian economy and has been since oil was discovered and exported. In fact, since the oil came, Nigeria focused mainly on oil production and ignored other sources of revenue. We have been the problem that we currently facing. In order to get the economy's exposure to oil or its export dependency, one can look at oil revenue, oil exports as a share of total exports and oil as percentage of government budget through revenue and oil as percentage of GDP. Of course, what is important to us is oil, the total revenue, the percentage of oil in total exports as well as the contribution of oil to government revenue. Over time, of course, this has been very important for us because basically in terms of contribution, oil contributes between 75 to 85 percent of government revenue over time and that is it and it is very important. So of all the three criteria, the share of oil in total exports and share of oil in total government revenue stand out to be very, very important. Indeed, according to the National Bureau of Statistics, National Statistics, we call that oil revenue contribution more than 70 percent of total government revenue. In fact, the estimate most cases are between 75 and 85 percent depending on the time. So in the period between 2005 to 2014, real GDP growth in Nigeria was about 6.3 percent, making Nigeria one of the fastest growing countries in the world. But of course, the growth notwithstanding, Nigeria was able to, Nigeria was not able to create jobs for the teaming graduates from various tertiary institutions. The level of poverty had remained very high. Poverty, which was about 54 percent in 2004, rose to 69 percent in 2010. The social indicators have been very poor on employment rising, ADI country index Nigeria is 152 over 187 countries. The beginning coefficient, of course, which was 0.42 percent in 2004, rose to 45 percent in 2010. And there is no evidence that it has improved six years later. So we're still battling with the problem of inequality. Indeed, there is nothing at all. A significant share of Nigeria's wealth in the pockets of very few people, the big shots were taken care of many times. Well, the wake up call of 2014 is very significant because year 2014 was a year of contrast. In the first half of 2014, the oil price, of course, as you know, picked up at about $112 per barrel. And it was a year in which Nigeria based its GDP, making Nigeria the largest economy in Africa, between South Africa. The South Africans are still fighting over that. I think they don't like it. But that was then 20, and that was what it filled in 2014. Now in 20, in the same year, in the second half of 2014, the problem then started. The global commodity prices slumped. That was global liquidity volatility, both of which caused both export income and capital flows to Dwendu. By the end of the year, the price of oil had fallen to about $48 per barrel. Since actually the third quarter of 2014, Nigeria had had to deal with number one, this drastic drop, 70% drop in oil price. And similarly, dealing with the global slowdown and geopolitical tensions along critical trading routes in the world. So at the beginning of 2015, on certainty about the oil price, of course, dominated. There was a great challenge to fiscal policy. And because 2015 was the year of election, even 18 at all, politicians are very good at talking with two sides of their mouth. Oh, it is true. Oh, it is not true. And there was a lot of denial trying to really underestimate the proportion of the difficulty which Nigeria was facing at that time. And indeed, the uncertainty was complicated by the menace of the militant Islamic group, the Boko Haram insurgency. Which grew very active and deadly in its attacks on state and individuals, including the abduction of Shibu girls, which of course gained international attention. And as a result of the harassment and menace created by this group, indeed, elections had to be delayed for some time. Finally, elections were held, and then the APC under Buhari won the election. But then it took significant time before the administration was able to settle down to the basic issues of governance and try to address the global problem which Nigeria was facing. Therefore, this hesitation limited the scope for timely and necessary response to the crisis at hand. And at the same time, it helped to elongate the inside lack of policy. Now, the policy response to the crisis, how did we respond to the crisis? Basically, by the utilization of monetary and fiscal policy, and more monetary policy actually, the CBN responded right away in 2014 by tightening monetary policy. But as a result of the pressure that was on the exchange rate, the CBN went ahead to impose restrictions on commercial foreign exchange trading, closed the official foreign exchange auction window, and at the same time channeled these transactions to the inter-bank market. At first, the CBN tried to depreciate the Naira from $155 to the dollar, then subsequently, of course, to $168 to the dollar. And of course, at the last time, it was depreciated to $198 Naira to the dollar. Of course, this is not helped us by any chance. It continued to create a lot of hardship to a lot of people, in particular those in the profit sector, the manufacturing sector, the airlines and so on. So, why this maintaining this rate? It provided a limited for its needs to various sectors of the economy for the importation of raw materials. Naira is highly dependent on the importation of raw materials. Also, for petroleum products importation, which it was doing at that time, school fees for those whose children were abroad, mostly the children of the elite like Peter and others, we provided for them so that they can pay the school fees. And of course, my sure that also credit had also to be issued to very big manufacturers who did it. They were limited, but again, their interest had to be satisfied. As it turned out, of course, the Montreal Policy Committee at the same time increased interest rates, cash reserve liquidity ratio. And at its meeting of May 24, 2016, the Montreal Policy Committee realizing the weakened macroeconomic environment as shown by various indicators in the economy, rising inflation, contraction of real output and rising unemployment, voted to maintain this 20% interest rate, cash ratio of 22.5%, and of course, the liquidity ratio at that percent. Well, things were very uneasy. And it continued at that time. And the major question was, should we really allow the exchange rate to be fixed at $190 to the dollar? Finally, finally, the central bank, I guess in agreement or coalition or whatever with the power that be, decided on June 15, 2016 to go for a managed float exchange rate system. So it went ahead and announced a new market structure, market structure, where the exchange rate was allowed to, oh, yeah, I see the friendship now, five minutes. The fiscal policies, of course, were trying to adjust the budget and making sure, you know, so I have to go quickly. Now, the macroeconomic effects, what are the major macroeconomics of all of this? Let me mention some of them. The first was, of course, the foreign exchange reserves from $42.8 billion to 26.7% as of June 2016. It had gone down further a little bit. At the same time, the money that was going to the central bank had also fallen. It was falling, common revenue, of course, falling capital flows. Now, the slower GDP growth rate, of course, in the first half of 2015, real GDP, which was 3.12%. But then it started growing down. And by the time we get to the second quarter of 2016, GDP had declined again by 2.06 as opposed to what it was in the first quarter, which was 3.17%, 0.36% in the first quarter of 2016. Inflation continued to skyrocket. Of course, there was problem in payments of salaries and the movement of states under the federal structure that we do have, as a distributive pool from which states were given allocation every month. Of course, that fell, and with the fall in that, it was very difficult to pay salaries. And of course, a lot of the states were more interested in cake sharing, which is going there to collect there. There was theft and vandalization, in particular, more prominence in 2015. As a result of all this, it is not surprising that there is rise in non-performing loans by banks, because banks, of course, give customers loans and, of course, to pay back, they have to be receiving salaries, and they were not receiving salaries. Some airlines also had to leave the country because of problems. One of them was United States, and United, and the Iberia, of course, the Spanish airline had to leave. Now, the major issue is about diversification of Nigerian base, trying to look for more money. I'll order from, instead of getting it from oil, attempts are being made now to look at the various sectors, which is mainly agriculture. There is evident, or co-abundant evidence, that there is need to diversify the economy and try to increase the resource base of the economy. But, you know, I think that in order to do that, we need to take a critical look at the size of government at all levels, and we need to take a look, and I said the remunerations of the political class, which is out of alignment with what is happening in the economy, the senators, and so on, the national assembly. And also, there is need for us to create limited institutions that work. I think creating overlapping myriads of institutions creates ways and avenues for bribery and corruption, and we should try to eliminate that. Now, I think there are a number of things that we need to look at. As I said, agriculture is primary, but it's going to be value-added agriculture, and work and ask the question, what happened to the cocoa and groundnut pyramids of the earlier years? Indeed, Malaysia came to Nigeria to borrow the techniques of producing palm produce.  Whereas, Nigeria now is not doing anything. So now, Nigeria is trying to go back to those old times and try to, you know, to make sure that revenues on agriculture is improved, and at the same time, that we can feed ourselves. People are considering the introduction of that and looking at oil taxes, looking at taxes, but again, Nigeria is not noted for that because there is low tax compliance. In fact, when you look at the tax effort, tax of GDP, Nigeria is one of the lowest in Africa, and we're trying to look at that to see how we can bring that as somewhere we get more money. But again, the issue is not really getting more money. We have to worry about people who steal money, people who stole our money are brought by looters. We have to worry about capital flight, you know, from my work. Peter did not say something. This time around, I'm not talking about capital flight or globalization and so on. On FDI, which is unusual, I'm talking about a specific macro issue. But again, Nigeria is noted, it's one of the countries in the world that the highest, has a very high ratio of capital flight out there. But I think there is need for Nigeria to try to develop talents and professionalism. And specifically, I'm talking in the area of nollywood. Nollywood, some of you watch some of the entertainment industry, many of you will know. When you look at holywood and bollywood and compared to nollywood, you see Nigeria is doing very well. It's doing very, very well. And I think we should do something to make sure that no. But there is need for to develop right additional changes for efficiency in government spending and service delivery. And of course, the overall conduct should be zero tolerance for corruption. Well, I have to please Peter all the time and be my friend. So I thank you all for listening to me.


The tour of the Lake District is a 96 mile circuit, starting and finishing in the popular tourist town of Ambleside. The trail takes in each of the main Lake District valleys, along lakeshores through woodland and other remote mountain passes. Join me as I take on this winter late-land adventure with a mix of freezing wild camps and cozy country pubs. There we are, the Patadale, isn't it on the Patadale, I can't even remember, but that was chef's kiss. 50 quid, free course meal and breakfast and bed. It's unbelievable. Should have been 80 on website, but we got it for 50. They're like an old perp, people's home in there, but it was fantastic. It was proper, no frills, obviously, no frills, but just good stuff. There's a bit of chill in the air today, and this is the day. This is the weather warnings the forecasters said. It's gonna be howling it down with snow in that, but I mean, my friends in different parts of the country have said it's snowing where they are, but fingers crossed it just staves off a little bit. I don't mind near end, that'll be all right. I feel good, I only had one pint, and then me dinner and then I was in bed early doors after the previous night's frosty debacle. Right, I better just look at me map here because I think I'm going this way. Let's have a look. Red oak! I believe that's where we're heading between this gap here, I believe, and other cramp balls and turkey tails. All over this stump. Lovely stuff. Red oak! Red oak! Right, we've just crossed the river, there's a tiny little bit of road work, and now we're off. What's it like? Nice. I think just your old graviteal sort that out, will it? You get another shot at it, mate. You get another bite of the... Yes! Yes! I've been stingy with recording because I don't know when these batteries are going to go to me. But anyway, I've just been walking on thinking, I wonder where this snow is? Like, there's people at breakfast. I have heard them chatting about how we'd better get going because we don't want to get snowed into Patardale and I was thinking, yeah, I don't want to get snowed into Patardale either. I mean, I'm having a wonderful time in eating these. Well, it's like school din, as it was, but it was in a good way. And as soon as I say that, you can see a couple of little flecks of snow coming down. And I... What's this? Look. He'll give a kick, look. Yeah, that's what I like. Stand your ground, kid.  It's that colour of cloud that says snow. Can you see it? Can you see it off of my black? Maybe not. Wear and tear. If it's a white out and it's snowing and that, I'm not going to go over a red squeeze because there won't be any views. Done red squeeze a couple of times, so I'm not gunning to see it. I would like to show you, but the other way just looks as good. And if it's white out up top anyway, there's no point, is there? Right, where am I going here? Am I lost? Right, I will check in that time. Medic! I went wrong because wind keeps getting up and blowing, snowing, ice, so... I've just got to keep my head down so that the peak at cap sort of protects my eyes.  And then I looked at my GPS and it had all gone off and it just said, you're on the wrong path or something like that, so. I've either got a trek back down here and go up to join it, or I can just randomly hike straight up this hill and I think I'm going to do and try and join the path that way because I'm off this way at the moment. As you can see, there's just no visibility and it's just going to be miserable up there, so I'm going to go this way and try and link onto my path and try not to get too wet. Weather's closing in now and back on track I had to come over here. And up here, it's pretty slippy now on these stones as I make my way up there to see why I go on. I've had to deploy these as well because I'm all over the place. Look at this. Right, Nate, top. Not going to get much colder than that here.  That looks deep enough to swim in almost. Beauty. Shall go in. Oh, no. Now I've said it, I've got that little, the call of the void is telling me to go in. Right, I'm going to have a little plunge in here, invigorate myself at final push. Let's go. All right. Can I get fruit ice? Oh, it's a bit hard. Oh, am I going to splice myself open?  Right here. Yeah. Oh, it's deep, it's deep. It's next level cold, mate. Look at that. It's going to be nice. I know it's going to be nice. I'm going to get clothes on there, which I'm going to do now, quick. Come on. What the?  There we are. Hey. Job. Job's a donut, look. Just what I needed though.  Ran new. So, see that ridge there, we're up to that ridge up and over it. I'm going to have to concentrate a little bit. So as I don't stack it too hard, not too cold. And a little bit of a path is like, just winging it a little bit here. I'll get my glove on. Oh, where am I? I don't think, there's not much of a path. It's a bit boggy. Feet have got wet now. I'm looking forward to this push up to the top just to warm me up a little bit. I doubt we'll be having any views by looks of things. Might just be getting smashed in the face by snow. But I'm having a good time. All right, I'm on the top of, I've got the top of it where I'm passing over. You can go left and off at Red Screes and round, but as you can see, it's white out up there. So the views won't be any different. So I'm just going to meander through here and down this valley. If you want to see some views of Red Screes, many moons ago, I camped up there with the intention of skinny dipping in the tan on the top during the sunrise. But unfortunately, a couple turned up in a big old tent and put it right next to tan. But yeah, so it might have to do a little bit of a stealth swim. And managed to do it all before they even woke up and I was long gone. That was a different time, different weather. We should get some views of this valley here. Look, there we go. Can you see on there? Probably not.  Never hiked this way before. And it's nice to put it in the old mental map for future reference. But before I descend, I'm going to double check my map, make sure it's the right descend to do. I'm taking refuge behind this wall. It's blowing a gale out there and it's just nice and calm here.  Why should I even tell you, I don't know. It's just, I just found out that my nan died. So it's just, it's hard for me to just, want to just be like, into a camera because I just need a little bit of time. Probably, I just need to walk. I just need to walk into there. So I just want to dedicate, I'll just guess I'm dedicating this now.  Lost my granddad to the big sea, found love again, got married again. Lost another husband to the big sea and she just soldiered on, like, she just soldiered on.  Get on with it.  And so it's kind of a little bit, like, bit of sweet in it because you don't, obviously you don't want to go, but then you know that they're not suffering anymore, so you just text edge off, then it rounds edges off a little bit in the narrative you can paint and you're nodding where you can just say, oh, at least we're in a better place now. And then, yeah. And I'm glad I went to see her again just recently and I knew, I kind of knew that that was the last, the last time I saw her was gonna be the last time I saw her and it's just. Rest in peace, nanny June. Another absent friend to add to the list of absent friends, in fact, is it disrespectful to do it with electrolytes? I don't think it is. It's what she would have wanted, fallen soldiers. I'll have a proper soup tonight. I'll have a proper soup tonight for you, Nan. Anyway, so that's just wanted to let you know that's why I'm a bit banter, banter bussing gonna be that good coming out of here because I just want to just think, I'll be all right in a mile or two, just having to think. Just feels wrong, doesn't it? Like, well, it does to me. It just feels wrong. You know, I'm just passing away and then you're like, hey, meddock or not to her, but to like animals or whatever and like giving it all, just getting excited over latches and locks and that, which seems a bit mental, doesn't it? Do you want to see this? Look. Just a bit of respite out of that, out of that wind. I ain't got too far to go now. It's clouding over, man. It's closing in quite a bit and the weather's, the snow's coming and the temperature's dropping. Blah-dee-blah, ain't it? Perspective, mate. Last thing I ever told you was that I love you, though. That's got to, thank God. And she had three daughters, loads of grandkids, loads of family visiting her and being with her in the end. And she passed away peacefully, so. You can't grumble, can you? You can't grumble at them stats. Right. Okay, we'll sit here for a little bit and then bat on into the mist. On day one, when I said, oh, you can just chuck your bits of timber in there. There it is. In action, look. That's brilliant. There it is. Humble side. We did it. We did it. There. Back in humble side. What, a journey? And it has been a journey. In many ways. And right now, I had thought that it's not ended out, I don't know. I can't really put it into perspective or can't find the words, really. It's been emotional. And yeah, it's just been emotional. I don't have any final words or anything like that at the moment, but I guess I just need time to process it and then do it justice. So we'll do that in map time. Thanks for joining me on this trail and thanks for all the support and the messages and everything. I see you all and I appreciate it very much. Let's take it to the future and finish on a map time. Bye for now. Welcome to final map time. So here we go. We woke up in Patadale after, and I'll say it again, 50 quid, three course meal, bed and breakfast. Wonderful. Off we went. It was a cold start to the morning. We cross over here, follow this lovely track along here, nice easy walking, nice and flat, all the way down. And we join on. There's a little bit of road work here, but not so much. Double back ever so slightly through this wonderful gate and up by the side of brother's water. Keep going up past this farm over these fields and around here. This is where I goofed. So I was supposed to go up here, but because it was in my eyes, I just sort of meandered down here, not thinking too much of it. And then when I realized, I thought, well, I can either double back or I could just wing it. And you can see how steep it is here look. So I winged it up here and followed up Kastam Beck.  Over we go. Up to Scandal Pass and over. The views were quite nice actually. It was quite misty, but that gave it a little bit of atmosphere and a lovely little walk down here through this valley. It was quite long. It was beautiful, but I wasn't really vlogging that much, but I managed to get some shots all the way down here following this is some lovely swimming areas down here that I've marked out for later, maybe in the summer. On we go. Keep going down and there we are look. Yeah. All the way down back. Full circle. Look, I set off that way and then I've come back in here. What a journey mate. What a journey. And what lessons have I learned? Man, I'm just, I don't know. I really don't know. At the beginning, I mean, there's a lot of lessons to be learned that I've taken from it in the beginning. It took a lot just to get to the start point and that was, that was my lesson. It's like just turn up, just get to the start point. And then after the halfway mark, it was like, right, just get to the finish, set your goal, get to the end. I think the overriding thing that I've taken from it is to maybe not think about the end and think about the start and it's just, because things change and things can be quickly put in perspective. So the lesson I've taken away from this is appreciate the moment. Just live in that moment in the day that you're in, in the minute that you're in and then nothing can really affect you. You're not going to get anxious about the future. You're not going to get depressed about the past and you can just live happily in the moment. Right, thanks so much for watching. Take care of yourselves and bye for now.


Hello and welcome to the session. In this session we are going to discuss the following question and the question says that there are 1500 club members, 120 members their children at random to know what type of dance they like. Predict the number one of members who like hip-hop dance in all club members is the prediction appropriate. We know that chosen sample gives us the correct influences about the population if it satisfies the following conditions. And the first condition is sample should be selected at random. The second condition is it should be a representative of the population. And the third condition is it should be large enough to provide accurate data with this key idea. Let us proceed to the solution. In this question we are given that total number of club members are 1500 and a sample of 120 club members were surveyed. And out of these 120 members hip-hop is light bar 22 members, contra is light bar 40 members, tap is light bar 32 members and swing is light bar 26 members. So we are given the total number of club members are 1500 and a sample of 120 members were surveyed. And we are also given that out of these 122 members hip-hop is light bar 22 members, contra is light bar 40 members, is light bar 32 members and swing is light bar 26 members. Now according to the question we have to find the number of members who like hip-hop dance. For this first we find the fraction of members who like hip-hop dance and it is given by number of members like in hip-hop divided by total number of members in the sample. And we know that the number of members like in hip-hop is 22 and the total number of members in the sample is given by 120. So we have the fraction 22 upon 120 which on simplification gives 11 by 60. To find M we multiply the fraction with total number of members that is the fraction 11 upon 60 is multiplied with the total number of members that is 1500 and we get M is equal to 11 into 25 that is 275. So we can say that 275 members like hip-hop here we have got the number of members M as 275. Now we check whether the prediction is appropriate or not. Here as we have seen the population is given by all the 1500 club members and sample is given by 120 club members. And from the key idea we know the three conditions of reasonable samples are sample should be selected at random, it should be a representative of the population and it should be large enough to provide accurate data. And here the sample of 120 members is chosen randomly, it is also a representative of the population and it is large enough to provide accurate data. Since all the three conditions of reasonable sample are being satisfied we can say the prediction is appropriate. This completes our session, hope you enjoyed this session.


Hi everyone, Joe for jaspyscasebreaks.com coming at you with a 2021 Panini Prestige Football Fat Pack Break. This is a random team break number 12. Three different dice rolls happening here. First of all, we're going to give away five spots in this pack break. So we've sold 27 spots outright, randomizing those 27 spots, top five good extra spots.

Welcome folks, this is Tom O'Brien at TFNN. We have five days a week, we go seven hours a day, we go 24 hours a day on the internet at TFNN.com. Always remember folks, what if you think about, you bring about whatever. You focus on growth, hope everyone's having a great day, safe day, it's a TGIF folks, let's make it a great one. Cultivate wisdom. You don't need to accumulate knowledge to become wise. Anyone can become wise, when you become wise, you respect your body, you respect your mind, and you respect your soul. When you become wise, your life is controlled by your heart, not your head. Make it wise, let's take a look at it out here. We have the Dow Industries up 704 and Aztec up 300, S&P's up 98, Gold Contract flat, 18.29 an ounce. You get silver up 12 cents, $21.21 an ounce. Lights we crude up three bucks, trading at 107.43, notes and bonds. A 10-year note right now, trading at a price point, sorry about that folks. 10-year note trading at a price down 11 ticks at 117.10, 30-year up a full point, plus two ticks at 130.101 and King dollar. King dollar's down 225 ticks, trading at 104.207, Euro 105, yen 135.26, and the British pound at 122 to one US dollar. iPhone numbers 877, 9276648, give us a call folks, wanna know what's going on in your world and the world of the S&P's, let's take a look at them. What do you have? Well, you get a bounce going, you get a contraction of volume going, you're coming into the July 4th week, next week, bottom line, I suspect we're gonna run right up into July 4th. And what you have here is this. So the spies, we got 58 million shares today, you're up $9.80 and I suspect this is gonna, you know, probably more than likely go far the bottom of the first gap. Now, the first gap here is set up at 401.44 and right now you're 387.87. We go to the NDX 100, we take a look at the NDX 100. What do you have in the NDX 100? Same type of setup, bottom line, NDX 100, right now up 780, you have 39 million shares. No, yeah, we have 39 million shares traded right now. That's gonna be a huge contraction also, we did 57 yesterday. That being said, I suspect this is gonna run up into the 299, right now at 292. Now, if you've never seen how the three gap play works, folks, okay, these are pretty cool, man. I've traded these a lot. So the way a three-backed, three-gap play goes is that we had three gaps on the way down and this is going up the film. The way, the first way that the gaps go is the trend. That is basically how it works. So it's gonna be really intriguing when we get up into this price point. Bottom line, we'll see how it shakes out. I would like to see it into this price point not until basically July 5th. That's the bottom line. We'll see how this shakes out. But I suspect they're gonna get filled number one and number two that you're gonna have a contraction of volume all the way up. Gold. Gold contract came out, rejected lower price again today. We got down to a price point of $18.17. Bottom line right now is saying, okay, I don't wanna be at $18.17. And that was a fast gap down. I said, I suspect you trade the futures. A lot of folks definitely get tapped out on that one because the bottom line, it was a one-minute wonder that took place at basically nine o'clock this morning. I went from a price point of $8.23 to $8.17 and was back to $8.26 literally in a minute. So it is what it is. Kingdala. What do we have with Kingdala? Well, Kingdala basically gave the market a little relief out here today. He's out in $215.06. That being said, bottom line, this is actually a sideways move in Kingdala. That's what you have out here. Let's go take a look at some of the higher volume equities as this will. So what ended up happening is this. The, yeah, volume should come in. Well, we have a re-balancing in the small caps today at four o'clock. So the small caps are gonna have explosion of volume. We'll see what it does to the S&P and to the Nasdaq. Right now you have advanced micros up $4.00. You get, let's see, NVIDIA's up six and a half. You get Wells Fargo up two, two and a half. Tesla's up 26. Let's get inside the Dow industrials and take a look at where the strength lies. I suspect they're almost all green. You know, the only ones red is Verizon and UnitedHealth. So we take a look at point wise, what you have out here inside the Dow industrials, you get, you, Goldman Sachs is putting 102 points. You get Salesforce putting 78, Boeing 48, Visa 47. UnitedHealth's the only one really taking 59 points away from it. We go into the NDX 100. We take a look at the NDX. What do you have at the NDX? You get Airbnb up 8.4%. Facebook is up 5.8% and you got Workday up 5.6. Taken away from it. You got Lucet down 1%. Other than that, man, you are off to the races because that's very unusual when you actually take a look at something like that. Let's go to Freeport-Mac-Ran for a couple of the Tigers FCX. Man, take a look at Freeport-Mac-Ran. You know, we'll see whether they can get a bounce out of here. I don't think this, let me see. Well, Freeport came down hard. You're gonna have volume 138 million versus 106. Well, if you can get this, if we can get this rejection of $29.97 by the end of today, you might have something. It's close, man. It's a close call. Because this is a lot of volume the way this came down. There's no doubt about it. Let me just see. That swing had 125, 114, 106. Yeah, this is not good. Okay, so yeah, this is good as an ABC structure down. You got $51. This is not good, yeah, 33, 17, 18 bucks. You got Fadi 33, 23, that's 26 bucks, man. That's 26 bucks. Yeah, I'd be really careful with Freeport-Mac-Ran. Because what you have here is that we definitely broke this B point this week, and on the weekly, it's gonna have higher volume. It needed volume more than 125 million. And we got, oh, no, no, no, okay, we don't have it. That's good, one second. Now we got 106 million. Oh yeah, but no, you know what? It's a four day work week. We do. The ABC structure down. As you take it here, 125, bottom line, you already got 106. You add 25 to that, that's 126 versus 125. So I'd be careful with that, that's for sure. iPhone number's 877, 9276648. We have the Dow Industries right now trading up 691. You get the Nasdaq up 292. You get the S&Ps up 96. That is a percentage move. Folks, we have 2.2% in the Dow Industries, 2.5 in the Nasdaq, and 2.5 in the S&Ps. Stay right there, folks. That's it. Tom and Brian will come right back.


Our stories teach us about love potions, magic spells, and the hands of faith. Humans have always dreamed up magical ways to make people obsess over us, but in the absence of magic, we can look at psychology and human behavior to achieve the same goal. These are the non-magical ways you can make your crush obsessed with you. Demonstrate your best attributes We typically like to surround ourselves with good people. If you want someone to obsess over you, showing your most honorable attributes is a good way for them to feel like they know you and to build a good reputation that can make you appear desirable. Just like how we seek out partners with positive physical attributes, we also seek out partners with positive virtues. Even if you want to come across as a little edgy and mysterious, just remember there is a difference between being a bad boy and being just plain bad. Maintain a healthy lifestyle Looking after your hygiene, diet, and fitness are all great ways to appear generally attractive to those around you. But if you want to catch your crush's attention, it isn't about having the biggest abs or the firmest legs. By maintaining a healthy lifestyle, you're telling them that you value yourself, have high standards, and are committed to growing and improving. Be supportive We all could use support from time to time. Even if you think your crush is surrounded by supportive people, you can and should still be supportive. Think of it as a test run for what your crush can expect if you were together. Psychologist Duncan Kramer found that couples who are emotionally supportive not only have better relationship satisfaction, but also resolve conflict in healthier ways. By being supportive and reliable, now you can cement yourself in the mind of your crush as someone they can rely on. Be mysterious You don't want them to know everything about you just yet. Mystery builds intrigue between people. By leaving some things up to the imagination, your crush will become heavily invested in you as they yearn to uncover all of your mysteries. It's an exciting predicament to be in, but don't let that fool you into thinking that being mysterious is enough. Don't mistake mystery for being completely closed off. Don't be forward. There are few things less magical than someone who is blunt or pushy in the face of romance. While we at Psych2Go believe in the value of communication, specifically in relationships, being too open about the things that can wait might not be the strongest move right now.  Pay attention to the previous points. Be the good person your crush needs you to be, but don't expect anything in return. Don't play games. Psychological tips can be misconstrued as a strategy or a game. If you really care about your crush, you won't try to manipulate them or use any cheap tactics. Let's face it. Connections that are built upon manipulation and mind games are extremely unhealthy and will never last.  So if we can leave you with the closest thing to a magical solution, it would be this. Be the best person you can be and the right person will see that. That is the final ingredient to your ethical love potion. So I hope you aspiring witches, wizards, sorcerers, and magicians have all appreciated this lesson on how to make someone obsess over you. Remember that these things take time and no single point will work on its own. Don't expect to be nice to your crush once and they immediately fall hopelessly in love. Like I said in the beginning, it isn't really magic. If you learned something helpful today, give the video a like and remember to subscribe to Psych2Go for more tips. We hope to see you next time and good luck.


Welcome to this course on data structures and algorithms. In this session, we will look at a computer program which implements breadth first search. You will recall that the basic principle of breadth first search was discussed in the last session. Let us look at the functions and some data structures that will require to implement the breadth first search. The first function of gate vertices works exactly as it did earlier. The breadth first search is a function which will traverse the graph in the BFS fashion. We will now use a list S, but this time we will use the list S, the list construct of STL as a queue. This is also used to store outgoing nodes, but the fundamental difference is instead of stack, we are going to use this list as queue. Consequently, we will use push back function which will push the nodes in the list and pop front function to pop the nodes out of the list. These are the two functions which are different from a stack operation they implement the queue operation. Please remember a queue will always push at the back of the queue and pop will always pop from the front of the queue. The simple difference makes the search from depth first search to breadth first search. Let us look at the demonstration. Initially, we insert A in the list, pop A from the list since A is not visited, so visited. When we visit A, we will find out the outgoing edges. There are two edges B and C, they will come in that order and they will get pushed onto the list S. Next, we have list S containing B and C. We pop from the list, but note the fundamental difference. This time the pop will happen from the front of the queue because we are treating list as a queue. So, B will get popped out and only C will remain on the list. Now, since B is not visited, we will visit it. When we visit B, we will find out there is one outgoing HD and this D will now be inserted in the list and because it is a queue it will be inserted at the back. So, now the list will contain C and D and we have visited A and B so far. Next, we pop from the list. Again C will be popped and not D because this is a queue. So, popping will happen from C. Since C is popped, only D remains on the list. Since C is not visited, we will visit it. C has only one outgoing HD and therefore D will get inserted on the list. Notice that the list contains now D twice once because it was already there earlier and next because C has an outgoing HD and therefore that will get pushed back onto the list. Please note that the visiting order is A, B and C so far. Now, we follow the same steps. The list contains D and D. We popped D from the list although both are same, but just we remember that it is a queue. Therefore, this D is going to be popped out which is in the front of the queue. The list still contains D. Now, since D is not visited, we visit it. What do we find when we visit D? D has an outgoing H to E and therefore the outgoing node E will be pushed onto the list. The visited order is A, B, C and D and my list contains D and E now. Next, we again pop the element D because it is a queue. Only E remains here. Since D is already visited, we forget it. We again go to the list. We examine the next node in the list which is E. We pop E from the list. E is not visited. So, we visited. It has no outgoing H. All nodes are now traversed successfully because the list is empty. There is nothing more to do and the order is A, B, C, D, E. I would like you to remember this fact that instead of stack by simply using it as queue, we are able to implement the braid first search in exactly the same fashion that we had implemented the depth first search. The only difference is because we are treating list as a queue, the pushing happens at the back of the queue and popping happens at the front of the queue. Here is another complex example which we had shown earlier also. Again, I request you to follow the BFS algorithm and the demonstration and confirm that the nodes which get visited in the first search order are A, B, C, D, E, F, E, G instead of the other order that we saw in the depth first search. The computer program that we write is amazingly similar to the one which we had written to implement the depth first search. For example, we have the class graph. Instead of the DFS, we have now a function called BFS. All other functions are same. We have create graph nodes which is similar to what we had written earlier. Next, we have get vertices which will also work in exactly the same fashion as we had done earlier. Now, we come to the template for BFS function. Please note that in the BFS function, we do exactly same thing that we did earlier. We defined the bool array, a visited. We have the get vertices function and so on. While size is greater than 0, we now do two things differently. First, we get the node from s dot front and second, we pop front. This is the only difference that we have from the earlier algorithm. After we do this, if the visited is false, we still have to write code to perform operations if the node is not visited. So, let us look at this code. In this code, we are doing exactly the same thing that we did earlier. The pushback will automatically do the same pushing back that we had done earlier, pushing all the outgoing edges of the node in the list. Let us look at the main program. Only difference in the main program is, instead of calling BFS, we are calling BFS. I would like to conclude this session by reminding you that the power of STL is such that I can use the list either as a stack or as a queue. In so far as graph traversal is concerned, the stack interpretation of the list permits me to implement the first search and the queue implementation permits me to implement the breadth first search. Please note that in our implementation, we have used cleverly a Boolean array to retain information about which node is visited and which node is not visited, which is required as per the algorithm whether it is depth first search or breadth first search. Thank you.

Next week, Jamaican diver Yonah Naito-Isdame secured his qualification for a third straight Olympic Games. The 28-year-old booked his spot in the 3-metre springboard event by reaching the semifinals at the World Aquatics Championships in Doha, Qatar. He missed the 12-man final by two spots, but his 14th place finish was enough to confirm his place in Paris. Naito-Isdame, the first Jamaican male diver to compete at the Olympics, was born in Leeds, England to a Jamaican father and Barbadian mother. He decided to compete for Jamaica in 2012 and has since represented the Black, Green and Gold at two Olympic Games, reaching the semifinals of the 3-metre springboard in Rio and Tokyo. He also has a 2019 Pan-American Games silver medal in the 1-metre springboard. Let's welcome to the Sportsmax zone, Yonah Naito-Isdame. Yonah, how are you doing? I'm very well, thank you very much for having me. It must have been pretty late where you are, thanks for staying up by the way to have this chat with us. Of course, it's only 9.30, it's not too bad, it's not too late and I've got a late session tomorrow, so it's all good. It's always a pleasure to speak to people here in Jamaica and on this occasion with such a momentous achievement, it's really appreciative that I've got the interest as well. Yeah, talk to me about the achievement because of course you qualified by finishing 14th at the World Aquatics Championships, missing out on the final and I read somewhere where you were saying it was bittersweet because you're at a world championship after all, so you want to be in the medal round, but then although you weren't, you still qualified for the Olympics. Yeah, absolutely, it was bitter because I was diving well enough to be able to make it through to the final and it was a one mistake on one dive that meant that I couldn't make it through and I only missed that by 4 points, so that bit was bitter. It was sweet because I did the job that I went there to do. Of course, automatic qualification came with the top 12, but 14th place fortunately should be good enough to get myself a spot, but yeah, it would have been just that cherry on top of the cake to make the final, however now I've got something really exciting to work towards for the rest of the year and you know, I made the semi-final at the last two Olympics, so hopefully this time I can make the final this time round and you know, that's something that's really motivating me for the next few months. Yeah, it hasn't been a smooth road since the last Olympic Games and definitely not since the Commonwealth Games in 2022.  Where are you on that road to recovery and given everything that you've gone through in the last year, you must still be proud that you've been able to achieve this feat of qualifying for the Olympic Games again. Yeah, that's right. I had a serious knee injury at the end of 2022 and had to have surgery my first time going under the knife and you know, it was a scary experience because I thought it might be the end of my career. I didn't know if I'd be able to make it back from that injury and you know, I set my goal to qualify for Paris. I didn't know how realistic that would be because of all the work that I would have to go through to get back to the highest level, you know, to compete against the best irons in the world. It requires a lot and it requires 100% trust in my knee to be able to push through the springboard. You can see the amount of just pressure and power that has to go through that, so my knee has to cope. I worked really, really hard to get back my strength, to get back my competitive experience so that when it came to this qualification, to Doha, I was ready to compete and ready to hold my nerve under the pressure of the circumstances and you know, I'm very, very grateful that I was able to do that. It was a tough prelim, but you know, every single step of the journey back to this point really had purpose and I'm grateful that it came good at the right time. Yeah, very much the case. I'm interested, right? Because I remember when you had the injury, I think it happened in Edinburgh at the Scottish National Championships at the back end of 2022 and initially you had suggested that you don't think it was serious or that it would keep you for a long period. Did the knee injury end up being more serious than you initially thought? I think that was me speaking in hope more than anything, hoping that I wouldn't be too serious and wouldn't be too detrimental to my career and I took a 100% positive outlook on it. You know, within myself I didn't want to let the knee injury stop me from recovering, but I never knew what kind of hurdle might be in front of me, what setback I might have and you know, I set loads of goals and I set loads of target dates to recover for and fortunately we were able to be ahead of those dates and there was no relapse or any kind of issues that occurred. Everything just went really smoothly, everything went to plan and I was able to get back to a higher level much quicker than I thought I would be able to and yeah, the knee injury itself wasn't as serious as it could have been, but definitely my hope and positivity and belief helped me recover a little bit quicker. Yeah, just about six or seven months after the surgery you were competing at the CAC Games, Yona. Can you just quickly before we move on from the injury, you just referenced the fact that it was scary for you because at one point you thought it could have been a career threatening injury. What was the process of rehab like and what was your daily routine during the period of first of all healing from the knee injury and then getting your strength back? So fortunately I was able to have surgery within three days of the injury happening and that meant that I could get back on the rehab process really really quickly because of the nature of the injury I had to wear a brace on my knee which limited my leg to 30 degrees of flexion which is not a lot and I had to wear that for two months I wasn't allowed to bend my knee more than 30 degrees for two months for the tendon to be able to heal back fully and the scar tissue to heal around it to minimize the risk of re-rupting the future. So I did that. The challenge then once I took the brace off was actually getting the flexion back in my knee and being able to bend my knee slowly all the way to be able to contort into all the positions I need to contort into to be able to dive especially with tuck shapes. You know there's a lot of force there's a lot of resistance going through that when I'm spinning the air in the tuck shape so I had to work with my strength and conditioning coach to build back the strength in my quad because the quad had basically just deflated and I had to rebuild the muscle which was a tough journey and over the next couple of months I had to slowly bend my knee push through the pain of getting that flexion back and actually this dive that you're about to show now this will show the the intensity of the tuck shape that I need to make when I make it when I'm doing my dives and this was probably one of the hardest things to get back because of just the stretching that went on through the scar tissue and through the tendon and even now I still feel a little bit of resistance when trying to make those shapes but now you know I've got the full range back I've got the full strength back in the in the muscle and it now is more on the psychological side of things having the confidence to push through the board and trust that my knee will hold when I'm you know trying to do my dives yeah or you know your debut Olympic appearance in in Rio was a great experience for you um I was about to say four years after but it was five years after because the Tokyo Olympics were delayed weren't they so um you were in the semis 15th not making the final what are your targets for for Paris because you've got two Olympic Games experiences now behind you and I'm pretty certain that you're looking to make a bigger mark in Paris than you did in Rio or Tokyo absolutely diving competition is really really tough because it's not always the best dives that get the best results because it comes down to such fine margins such fast decisions so I hundred percent believe that I am a good enough diver to be able to make it into the final and um to be able to you know play around with the top of the table it's very difficult to to get medals in diving because the Chinese dominates so much but I've produced shocks before in the past I've beaten some very very good divers before in the past when I've had a really good competition uh 2016 was an example of that when I won my world silver medal so um this time round I hundred percent believe that I can be in the final and once I'm in the final anything can happen I've just got to try and take advantage of that opportunity so I'd love to improve on what I've achieved in the last two Olympic games and make it through to the Paris 2024 final yeah Yona I know that you are big on building a legacy and you have done a lot to try and improve the visibility of the discipline um diving in Jamaica and and I would suspect as well just right across the Caribbean um but 12 years on from your decision to represent the land of wooden water I can't say that at this stage we see anyone else quite coming through who from a Jamaican standpoint at least seems to be on the cusp of achieving um close anything close to what you have to this point is that a disappointment for you or would it be unrealistic on all part to expect that to happen within a 12-year period um no it's not a disappointment for me for sure and also it's not unrealistic to expect that um as well I think it definitely is realistic to expect that but unfortunately um diving requires such expertise and knowledge and I have that and I need to bring that to the island um but whilst I've been focused on my own diving career I've not had the flexibility to do such a thing um because of everything that I've had to put into myself um also diving requires you know specific facilities which Jamaica don't have at the moment um there is a diving pool in Kingston but it's not quite fit for purpose for this style of diving I definitely see talented people in Jamaica that you know could well be very good at diving if there is a structure from a young age but again that's not the case there's no program um so these are the kind of things that I am really keen to bring to Jamaica after my career and you know I I took the first step on that process last summer by running a diving camp in Kingston and 14 brave people turned up who had never really dived before and they allowed me to teach them some dives and they performed the display in front of a few friends and family and it's definitely my intention to do that again this summer after the Olympics I hope to be able to come back out to Jamaica and run another camp hopefully even more people want to come and want to learn about the sport want to learn how to do the sport and slowly we can build a community of people that are interested in diving and from there eventually in the future you know once we get the facilities up to scratch once we get a full-time coach in Jamaica and once we get a program up and running you know I am 100% certain that there will be talented divers in Jamaica it just will take a little bit of time for that to happen but um you know my first Olympic Games was all about me and my achievement personally my second Olympic Games was just proving to myself that I could do it and it wasn't just a fluke and this time around it's all about trying to create the legacy and build on the legacy of my diving career and open the opportunities for for young children in Jamaica to try diving you know it's been a long time that the sport has just been track and field and football and hopefully my three Olympic Games in the row even though I don't come from the island even though I wasn't born on the island hopefully I'll inspire kids on the island to want to try diving yeah I'm two quick ones because we're fast running out of time you speak about your three Olympic Games is there the possibility of a fourth you're going to be 29 years old in May you're a young still strong black man you could go on for another one couldn't you yeah I absolutely could um however there's various difficulties that come with diving one of the main ones is financial and that's one of them been been one of the major struggles um over my career you know I have to work um as a diving coach to make money and you know there's a lot of funding that has to happen I've been very fortunate to get a lot of support over the years um but whether that can continue for another four years I don't know yet um also physically you know I'm pushing myself to the limit and I've already shown myself that I can go over the limit and cause an injury and I'm not necessarily keen for that to happen again um so you know I want to get this cycle done another way and just see what my internal feelings are um and what feels like the best option going forward yeah and in 20 seconds Yona I notice just looking at your results over the years you seem to be better at the one meter springboard than you are at any other event in diving but of course the one meter springboard is not at the Olympic Games how much would you give for that event to be at the Olympics um actually I'm way too heavy and too tall for one meter now so it's way too hard I avoid this world championship so I just focused on three meters so I think hopefully this year it's time for me to prove that I'm better on three meters than I am on one meter all right thanks very much for that Yona Knight wisdom it's been an absolute pleasure speaking with you and all the best for the remainder of the year and all the best in Paris we'll see you there for sure thank you so much I appreciate the time all right Yona Knight wisdom heading to his third Olympic Games to represent Jamaica in diving yeah lots more to come on the Sportsmax zone including a chapter about the West Indies they beat Australia by 37 runs in the third and final T20 international a consolation win but there was a record performance and some real quality bowling from the Caribbean side we'll discuss that after this


I took a tour of the Pentagon, spent some time with some very, very important people. Heard a lot of important things that, I mean, I'm just, you know, I'm constantly in awe when I'm so graciously allowed to be around senior military leaders.  I had to see all of his hockey jerseys and hear about his love for Boston. But it was the first time we got a chance to actually meet and talk and Miss Milley. That was very nice. And yeah, just kind of walking the halls and understanding the history of the Pentagon and the different branches and the DoD and everything that kind of operates out of it. And then as we're just kind of walking through and crossing people, you know, giving one of those and just stopping and shaking hands. For me, it's always meeting as many people as I can, looking them in the, having a nice conversation and just being present, just being with them because, you know, I've not even imagined, I know the work that's done here is very impactful to the well-being and lives of so many people and not just American citizens, but around the globe that for maybe 30 seconds to just catch like a little bit of a break, you know, and that kind of applies even outside of walking around here at the Pentagon, is just being outside, you know, walking the streets and bumping into anybody or being in Iraq or Afghanistan or a war zone or Walter Reed spending time at a hospital and just going like, hey, let's just talk for 30 seconds to a couple of minutes and you just take that vacation, you know. And it's always, I think it's always a nice thing to see that bit of relief for a moment and almost the kind of excitement that happens because usually I'm as excited to meet folks in the services, maybe they are to meet me. So it goes both ways.
