You're gonna love her. All right, so let's get started with her bolos. And this is her store, the Funky Pickle Thrifter. I'm sorry, the Funky Pickle Store. I wanted to say her YouTube channel. But you can see she does have a wide variety of items. This is not gonna be just jewelry in this video. She has great titles. She has great photos. Go study her store. She is fantastic. Look at it. It's just fantastic. She is really, really a knowledgeable reseller. She's got a lot of knowledge under her belt. So go check her out, guys. Check out her store down below. You can click on the saved seller heart and that will follow her store. All right, so the first item is these antique B&W Art Deco blue cufflinks from the 1920s. Vintage snap. And it says, come apart, bear wild, bar wild. I'm not sure how to pronounce that. See, look at all those amazing Q words. How many times have I had something like this at my what not show? And I'm like, I don't know what this is. Similar styles, they're just different. And I would not know how to put a great title on the item. I wouldn't know how to date it. I just don't know that stuff. And that's why I bring almost all of my jewelry over to what not. So if you're not following me on what not, definitely check me out over there. There's a link down below. You can get $15 to shop when you join what not. And I sell tons of jewelry over there. But I just got in a bag full of vintage men's stuff like this. So I don't know what's in there, but we're gonna find out over on a future show. So she said, these were part of the same antique auction cufflink box lot that I have been steadily selling. I love selling them because each pair is unique and pretty and they are small, so easy to store and ship. All right, the next item. I cannot believe that this only sold for $39.99. This item is incredible. It's a pretty old Pawn Bear Paul Navajo Sterling Silver in Turquoise, Mother of Pearl Bolo Tie. Oh my goodness, is this stunning or what? Look at that. Oh, it's just beautiful. I would have thought that would have went for so much more. I found this at a local thrift store, paid eight for it. The Sterling Silver mark was hard to spot, but it was there. So I could tell it was Sterling for sure. The mark was tucked behind the leather strap part. So I think that's how it slipped past the thrift store people, a lucky find. And you can see right here, she showed it. Where did it go? It was under the strap right there. So with this down, you don't really see it. All right, there you have it. Always look guys, always look. A lot of nine rare beaded Alex and Ani wire wrap bracelets. 66, I'm not sure what the 66 means. Maybe that's the style of the beaded ones. Alex and Ani is a brand that I'm definitely familiar with. I have not seen the beaded ones either. So I will definitely be on the lookout for those. She said $28 is what they sold for. She said, I took a best offer on this lot. I paid 15 for these bracelets and some others that I already sold. Alex and Ani doesn't usually sell for much, but I bought these because they are the 66 line or beaded bracelets that I don't usually find. Okay, so the beaded ones are the 66 line. So that's great information. Vintage Svorsky, and I probably said that wrong. Swan Baguette's Gold-Filled Bangle Bracelet. Do you see the swan? Right down there, that is the classic symbol for the Svorsky, I can't say it, brand. Look at this stunning, stunning bracelet. Oh, she sold this for $44. She said, I found this at a local thrift store for $1. The quality of this was striking, looked like real golden diamonds. There is a swan inside, which denotes that it is a Svorsky. That's another brand that can do well and lots of people don't know about the swan thing. Pretty bracelet that I actually knew about. Can you guys believe it? I actually knew about the swan. I'm learning, I'm learning. All right, here we go. This one is Ennis Energy of the Sea Ocean Gift Pack Cologne Spray Body Lotion and Greeting Cards. And this paid $3 for this set at a thrift store. Sold it for $39.99 in the buyer paid shipping. She said, I have sold this name before and think it is or was sold on QVC. It would have sold for more, but the box had some handling where, which of course I disclosed in the description. Still happy with the profit. So would she pay for it three into 40? That's fantastic. Pink, pink. Is this Victoria's Secret Pink? No. Huh, pink. Beautiful Trauma World Tour. So is Pink the Band? I don't know. World Tour Medium Hoodie 2019. $39.99 is what it sold for. She got it at the local thrift for $5. She said, I love buying concert items from big artists like Pink. See, I didn't even know I've never even heard of the band. Oh my goodness. Pink. I've never heard of the band Pink. No clue. She said, they seem to sell really fast and this one was no exception. New with tags or, I'm sorry, new Sterling Silver Irish Charm Bracelet. My Irish jeweler, Green CZ Shamrock.  So it's not with tags, but it's in the original packaging there. How pretty is that? She said, bought this pretty Irish bracelet at the Goodwill. Two years back and paid 30 for two bracelets. I sold the other one, which was similar a while back for 70. So this one is pure profit. Sold it for $49.99 plus shipping. Look at this. Pretty, pretty. And it has the original box as well. And J. King Multi-Color Stone Necklace with dangle earrings, DRT. I'm not sure what DRT stands for. Mine Fines Silver. $49.99 is what she sold this for. She said, I got this pretty necklace and earrings set as part of an Antiques auction box lot and have made all my money back at this point. They were signed DRT. Okay, that's what they were signed, which stands for Desert Rose Trading. That is a name that usually sells well for me. Okay, there you have it. Now we know what it means. Antique lot of four, 1905, Boston Globe, Sunday, supplement, horse, tiger, elephant, and lion. So I'm not completely sure what these are. Are they just little prints? First, I thought they were postcards. I don't know what you do with them. I guess some type of ephemera? I have no idea. Well, let's see if she tells us. I stepped out of my lane a bit on these. I bought a paper doll lot from an antique auction and think I paid 20 for the whole lot, making a nice profit on some of them, including this set of four old things in excellent condition. Part of the reason I bought the lot, even though I'm not a paper doll expert, is because some of them were very old. They were colorful and pretty and they were all uncut and in excellent condition. So is it a paper doll? Cutting key. Oh yeah, yeah. So it's like a paper doll. See how it has the, right here? Interesting. Now the person buying this is gonna know what it is, obviously, but I doubt anybody's gonna cut this at this point. Just an amazing piece of history right there. She sold those for $49.99 and the buyer paid shipping. The next item is this vintage Jomaz butterfly brooch pen colorful rhinestones signed estate piece. And this is what it looks like. And she got this for $2 at a thrift store, surprising because they had just brought out a box of jewelry from the back and the lady who worked there was actually grabbing the jewelry to buy for herself before I could even look at it. I recognize this piece as soon as I saw it. Jomaz is another great jewelry brand to look for and people loved collecting butterfly jewelry. $45 this sold for. The next item here is this set of two JC penny balances. And these are vintage. She said, I think I paid 10 for four packages of these at a thrift store last year. I like to buy sheets curtains if they look pretty in our new in package. These were a lucky find because I kept two for myself and put them out. I'm sorry, put them on our front picture window. So the purchase was a win-win. Often companies like Ralph Lauren, Pottery Barn, pennies, et cetera will discontinue patterns. So these can be great money makers, 39.99. Yeah, she is correct. Discontinued patterns and prints can definitely be big money. This is a pretty 925 sterling silver mesh chevron chain bracelet. And she's got the length and the grams. And here you can see it's signed. Look how pretty this is. She has, look at that photo. That is beautiful. That is so pretty. 49.99 is what she sold it for. This heavy sterling silver bracelet was a yard sale find way back, paid a dollar or two. I find sterling pretty often at yard sales and will usually buy it if it's a dollar or two unless it feels fake or like poor quality. This was gorgeous though. I was keeping it to wear but didn't do so very often so decided to sell it. I wanna find sterling silver for a dollar or two. That's incredible. Wow. Vintage purse 1920s, 1930s, brass copper, art deco, metal handbag, chain, flower and lily. And I will say that I have found that over the years jewelry just keeps going up. And I think it's a lot because people are just really into costume jewelry right now it seems. And sterling and gold, you know, each year it seems like there's an increase in what it's worth just to scrap it out. But the sad thing is is so much jewelry gets scrapped that's beautiful and we lose like that vintage and antique items because people scrap things. I know my husband loves old watches and so many of them get scrapped and then people use like the watch parts to make jewelry and stuff like that which a lot of that jewelry is really, really great. But I feel like personally, being that my husband loves old watches that if you can save something that is vintage and antique and sell it as a piece of jewelry, I just save the vintage, save it guys, save it. Don't scrap it, don't scrap it. That's just a personal opinion. You guys can let me know how you feel about that in the comments. Are you just somebody who's taking it to a scrapper or are you gonna try to sell it for more on eBay or another platform by keeping it as a beautiful vintage or antique piece. Even if it has a broken clasp, even if it has some damage to it, there are some people that really, really just want that vintage and antique stuff just like this handbag. How incredible is this? It's just awesome. So this for 50. It is a vintage copper and brass, Art Deco metal handbag. This is rad. Check it out. Wow. Now that is definitely cool. This purse was sitting on top of a jewelry box lot at an antique auction. I think I paid 40 for the whole lot and knew I would make my money just on this old purse which I did. Oh yeah, that is awesome. That is a cool piece. Oh, look at the owls for Pier 1 Moscow mule owl mug copper color and stainless, new with tags. Found this, excuse me, found this set all new in the box for $5 at a thrift store. Pier 1 can sell well, especially since they closed their stores. I figured these would sell for sure because they were cool looking and featured an owl motif. Is that how I say that? I'm guessing that is another word for design. I think the Moscow mule trend is going strong too. There you go, $49.99 on those. New Goli gloves, GK12 pro gloves size 10, Alien German latex, new in package. Now she did take a best offer of 20 on these. And she said, I got a few of these at a local thrift store for $2 each. Totally out of my lane with these, but thought I would take a chance since they looked high quality and were all new. So not probably as good as she had hoped she had them listed for $49.99 plus shipping, but sometimes you just gotta move that inventory and take the profit. Two into 20 is still fantastic. Lovely David Siegel, Siegel, necklace, heart pendant, sterling silver, nine to five smoky quartz. She took a best offer of 60 on this beautiful necklace. Let me show you the little bag and some details of this. It's always nice when you get the bag, you know? And you've got that extra make it look super fancy with the bag.  Took a best offer on this. It's another one from an in-person antique auction, made all my money back on this box slot for sure. I think this was a QVC or HSN necklace. Sometimes they can sell well. Yeah, there's collectors out there for QVC items. There definitely are. This is a vintage Chinese cloisonnay necklace, pink flowers, beads, gold tone hand knotted. You guys, I think I have a necklace very similar to this. Very, very similar. And I've been hanging on to it because I did not have good keywords. And I bought it a long, long time ago in a box lot of jewelry from Donatella over, Donatella Bottolino over on YouTube. And Donatella is now on what not, selling jewelry and everything from this and that. So check her out over there as well. She said, I think this was part, she took a best, nope, I'm sorry, it sold for 68. I think this was part of a jewelry box lot from an antique auction, already made my money on the box, I believe, so pure profit. I feel like cloisonnay jewelry doesn't really get what it should, unless it's one of these old beaded necklaces. The fact that it was hand knotted was a good sign and it was beautiful. Yeah, I love cloisonnay. I just think it is so beautiful. Just the detail work on it. Look at that. Okay, this item, I just, I can't even take it right now. Unusual denture teeth ring. You guys, get out, it's a denture's ring. Look what she sold it for. $75. Are you kidding me? $75 for this. Oh wow. She says, isn't this ring a blast? Yes, it is. I got this on Etsy a few years back. Can't remember what I paid, but I bought two of them, so decided to let one go. Wasn't sure if anybody would be wacky enough, like me, to want to wear it, but it sold right away. Sometimes weird sells, it sure does. Love that one. Vintage Napier gold tone large bracelet, rare ancient coin motif statement, eight inch, there's that word again. I'm gonna have to Google that and see exactly what the definition is. Or I probably won't get around to it. So if anybody wants to enlighten me and anybody else that doesn't know, down in the comments, that would be amazing. Took a best offer on this very pretty bracelet that I paid a dollar for at a church parking lot sale. I like to buy Napier jewelry, but only if it's special looking. Ancient coin charm bracelet was, this one was, she said. Let's check it out. Check it out. There you go.  Is B&W the brand? Yes, that's the brand. Sorry guys. Purple cufflinks 1920s, these are another come apart bear wild. And again, they're marked right on the back. So that makes it really easy to know what to put in your title. But she also, oh, yep, B&W. And then it's got a patent of night. Is that, I thought it was a date, but no, I think that's the patent number. Very, very cool item. I don't know if the patent number helps you date it. Can you use a patent number to go in and date something? If anybody knows, let me know. These sold for a best offer of 40. I took a best offer on these. I paid 95 for several hundred pairs of cufflinks at an antique auction a couple years ago. They're great little money makers. I am in the profit by over, I'm sorry, about a hundred. No, about a thousand on this cufflink collection with many more left to sell. CCM Buffalo Sabres Jersey, extra large, sold it for 60. Here is yet another clothing item that I bought for $5. It seemed particularly interesting because it was autographed by number three, James Patrick, one of their players. I thought since it was signed it would be, it would have sold for more, but not complaining, nice profit. Let's see where it's signed. There it is. Deb Gayet, spinner ring. Herkimer Quartz with Box, retails for 150, HSN. So this is an HSN. So does the ring spin? Oh, how cute is that? Excellent with no issues. This ring was part of an in-person antique auction box lot. I know I am in the profit for this box lot already. Interestingly, Herkimer Quartz stones are referred to as Herkimer Diamonds, though they are not diamonds. They are found in Herkimer, New York. Huh, see? She's got all kinds of jewelry info for you. Vintage 925, ah. Ha, ha, ha, ha. Byzantine? Byzantine? I don't know if I'm saying that right. Graduated Link Sterling Silver Necklace. Look at that bad boy. That is something right there. That is stunning. Look at her photos, guys. It's fantastic. This was an old yard sale find. I paid two for it back in the day. It was heavy and wide with a pretty pattern. Byzantine pattern is a good thing to look for as it looks ornate and complicated, really eye catching. So that's the pattern. Binghampton Senators Stitched A-H-L Hockey Jersey. That is a tongue twister. This was an old yard sale find. Paid $2 for it back in the day. Oh, nope, I read the wrong one. I apologize. Sold this for $88 on auction. I bought this at the same thrift store where I found the black sweatshirt. Paid five. I quickly Google searched at the thrift store and noticed that this team in particular sells well. I think the team may be defunct. Not sure, defunct, but great little profit. I don't usually mess with sports team stuff, but since it was a lesser known team, I took a chance. Never heard of the Senators. Rare Vintage Lee Stein Paris Teapot Brooch. Iridescent, marbleized, great key words. And you can see the signature is right there. And this one, she said, I got this pretty celluloid brooch from a woman who collected Lee Stein jewelry in the 70s and 80s. I bought out her entire collection and I'm ready, already in the money. So this one was pure profit. Also, I have lots of them left to sell and keep. So this sold for $99.99 and the buyer paid shipping. Yes, she likes to keep jewelry also. So she collects as well as sells. I think she's one of those where you keep it for a while, you use it, you love it, and then you decide, okay, I think I'm gonna get rid of it. But I could be wrong, I'm just speculating. Kith for Rocky, million to one, crew neck sweatshirt size extra large. This was a thrift store find, paid five for it. I'm not a clothing buyer usually, but there was something high quality about the look and feel of this. I could tell as I was going through the clothing that this one was special. I was thinking too about the Rocky tie-in since it's such an iconic film. There you go, 99.99. Vintage Uncle Sam blow mold.  They are a pain to ship. I will say that, 49.99 plus shipping on this one, at least for me. I don't like shipping things, like big things. So it's not that it's hard, it's just time consuming and I don't enjoy it. Does that make sense? I know a lot of people have no problem at all selling big items and they make huge profits on those big items. This was a yard sale find, paid five for it, not fun to ship, but a pretty good profit. Yay, she agrees with me, but she also sells small things. So I get it, not fun to ship at all. Vintage Original by Robert Broach and Earrings Rhinestone Beautiful Signed Demi. So it is a set here. I got this at a sort of high end vintage clothing shop by my house. They occasionally sell jewelry. I think I paid 25 for the set. When there are two matching pieces, it is called a Demi Peru. I probably am saying that wrong, P-A-R-U-R-E. That's why I have the word Demi in the title. When three or more matching pieces, it is a Peru or a set. Original by Robert is great, not so easily found name brand. Let's see. Look at all that detail, guys. Wow, beautiful. And then you can see right here, she showed that there was a defect. The next item is this Rare Vintage Assessorcraft, Assessocraft 1941 Balloon Man Whimsical Novelty enamel brooch. How many of you would have looked at this and just passed by it? Let me know in the comments. And I know a lot of times at my what not jewelry sales, I always say these faux pearls. They always have scuffy wuffies. That's what I call them. Scuffy wuffies on the faux pearls. And I always mention it. And the scuffy wuffies, they always catch my eye and I always wanna tell people about the scuffy wuffies because I just wanna make sure people know. But look at all the scuffy wuffies, you guys. And this still sold for $246.94 with the scuffy wuffies. She said, I paid 35, I think for this at an antique mall. I have a YouTube video of me finding it actually. Assessocraft is always worth a second look. Some of their items sell really well. This had lots of the things I look for an old jewelry. It was colorful, quirky, vintage, designer signed, and in great condition. Nautical solid 14 karat gold bracelet, sea fish, star shell, 6.8 grams, not scrap. All right, so here is another example of what somebody may say, oh, it's gold, I'm gonna take it to a place that has eye by gold. And this beautiful piece would be lost and melted down, so sad, so, so sad. So save the vintage, save the vintage. It will sell, guys, it will sell. And it's probably gonna sell for more than scrap. You're just gonna have to be a little bit patient. $275, best offer is what she took for it. She said, I accepted a best offer on this. I got this little baggie of junk jewelry at a small thrift store. It was all the way at the bottom of the bag, which I almost didn't buy because it looked so junky, got it home and could not believe it, a lucky find. All right, guys, thank you so much for being here. Thank you for watching. Actually, let's go back over here and showcase her YouTube channel. Look at all these great, great videos. And you wanna learn about jewelry? Check her out, she's got lots and lots of jewelry. All right, she also has shows where she sells. So check her out and she knows her stuff. It won't be like me where I'm like, I don't know what this is. I don't know, but it's pretty, yeah. And check her out. All right, and also remember, if you click on save seller, you're gonna get notifications when they list new items.  So really, really important to follow sellers that you like or learn from on eBay.

This is stock number 8J118A. We are here at Summit Automotive in Fond du Lac, Wisconsin. You're new and used Jeep headquarters. Today we are checking out this super clean 2011 Jeep Grand Cherokee Laredo. From this HD video you'll be able to tell that this Jeep is extremely clean all the way around. Front bumpers in really nice condition, no major dense dings or cracks, factory fog lights. You can see just how clear those headlights are. I believe the color is natural green pro coat. Very good looking color once it's in the sunlight here. Driver's side rim is in excellent condition. It has Cooper Discover 24570R17 tires. These tires look like they have about 60% of the tread left. We shoot all of our videos in 1080p so if you have HD capabilities on your computer tablet or smartphone device or whatever you may be viewing this video on turn them on now because it's like you're right here looking at the vehicle with me. See the hood is absolutely perfect. Passengers side rim I didn't see any scuffs or scrapes on that and that tire has just as much tread as driver's side. As we go down this side of the vehicle you can see just how clean the body is, how reflected the paint is. One tiny little ding in the front door there, nothing too major but other than that very, very clean down this side of the vehicle. See just how reflective and glass like that paint is. We take these HD videos so if you are far away or even if you're close by and just cannot make the trip down you can still see the vehicle, hear the vehicle and have confidence in what you're looking at before you even get here. Back rims in nice shape as well and the back tires have just as much tread as the front tires. As we go around to the rear bumper you can see it's in really nice condition as well, no dense dings or cracks back here. The rear gate is in excellent shape. Back storage area is in really nice shape as well. No rips or tears in the carpeting. Under here we have the full size spare tire and the jack tools. Got some storage compartments on the side here and a sun shade which is a really nice feature. You can always keep your stuff out of the sun and you can keep all your valuables out of sight, out of mind so they don't get ripped off. This is a manual closed gate. The other nice thing about this one is it has the flipper glass which is a really nice feature. If you can't get into the open the gate all the way for some reason you can still get that glass open. As you go around to this side of the vehicle just as clean as the passenger side that that paint is in really nice condition. Kind of going back to the suns out here a little bit you can see that green, the metal flake in that green. It's a really good looking color in the sunlight. Has the power heated mirrors. Inside you get the Laredo package which gives you the gray cloth interior. There are no rips, there are no tears in these seats. This Grand Cherokee has never been smoked in. Has a power driver's seat with lumbar. You got factory floor mats throughout this vehicle. Carpeting is in really nice condition. Has power windows power locks and power mirrors. You have auto headlamps as well and you can see that this vehicle does have 73,972 miles. You have a compass temperature, digital speedometer as well as a mileage display in there. On the steering wheel you get bluetooth controls on that side. Leather wrapped and then cruise controls on this side. AM FM, Serious Satellite Radio Capabilities.  This one has the enter and go system which means that you get a push button start as well as the keyless entry. This one does have remote start as well. Passenger seat is very very clean. No rips no tears. Like I said smells extremely clean in here. I don't think it's ever been smoked in. Also has the home link system, map lights and your backup camera or I'm sorry your rear view mirror with your bluetooth audio microphone in it. We'll take a quick look at the back seats and then we will check out under the hood but very clean in the front. Same thing in the back seats. No rips or tears on the seats back here. It does have the latch child safety system for your car seats and the back carpeting and floor mats are in excellent condition. Very very clean back here and these seats do fall down almost completely flat and you got that little flipper right here so nothing falls in between the seats and just a really nice easy feature to use. Finally you do get a 115 volt 150 watt plug-in back here. We'll take a quick look under the hood at the 3.6 liter pentastar v6 motor. This was the first year that they put the pentastar in these grand Cherokees and it has been a fantastic motor for Chrysler Dodge Jeep and Ram. They put in just about everything that they may. It's been on Ward's top 10 engine list for four different times for reliability horsepower and overall performance.

Yes, got it. Right. OK, Naomi, please introduce yourselves and let's leave the floor up to you. Thanks, Jim. So yeah, hi, I'm Naomi Beckett. I work in the Digital Education Office at the University of Bristol. I'm a senior digital education developer. And with me today is Olivia Murgleton, Georgie Pipson, Helena Thornton, who are all student digital champions in the DEO. They study law and psychology. They're not technical subjects. They're not really sort of digital subjects, but they're all really interested in digital education. Helena, Georgie and Olivia have actually been working with us since July 2021. So coming up sort of nine months with us now. So we have sort of maybe a sort of smaller sub-team within the sort of student digital champion teams because they've been with us for such a long time. And they were really, really interested to sort of share their thoughts and experiences with sort of like-minded people. So we're just going to sort of take you through a few of the sort of highlights, experiences of the student digital champion teams of how it got set up and sort of thinking about like challenges and limitations as well. So we'll sort of run through everything and then, yeah, open to questions and please pop questions in the chat as we go through. So the student digital champion project came about in autumn 2020. So right in the middle of the pandemic, obviously, we realised that because the DEO is a very sort of staff facing team, we realised that we were actually producing a lot more student facing content and we just, there was a lot more going on that we felt like we needed sort of more of a student facing team, sub-team within the DEO. One of the big things that started this project was the results from the digital impact survey that we had done that summer. A huge part of the sort of feedback in that was how students didn't feel like they had a voice when they were sort of thinking about the digital experience and how they wanted to collaborate more. And so that was really the sort of kickoff of the project. We realised we needed to be working with students. And we actually started with the student union funding and recruiting the students for the digital education office. And we recruited 12 students across all faculties, which was quite sort of daunting at the beginning. We weren't really sure how it was going to work, but we created a team site. We ran training with them and it started from there. They were given three-month contracts with the option to extend if they wanted to. It was a paid position. They didn't need to have any technical experience. They just needed to have an interest in online learning and digital education. There wasn't an interview process. We had an application form where they answered some questions to do with digital education and their sort of experiences, and we sort of took it from there. So that's really where the project started. We're now in our third run of students of sort of student digital champions team. So we recruit 12 each time, but we have a lot of students wanting to extend, which is great because we get to work more with them and have a bit more of a working relationship with them. So that's sort of how we've done it. And the sort of main, the start of their sort of job was to sort of go out to their course reps and get that really vital feedback from the students and their peers about their sort of digital experience at the university. And the sort of very primary thing that they were doing was coming back to us with that feedback. And we were thinking about what we could do to change that. From there, it's sort of the students sort of took on their own interests. They might have picked up a bit of feedback that they thought they wanted to run with. And we sort of ran projects from there. The great thing about it was that we sort of worked in collaboration with the CEO. So obviously in sort of my team, we have a lot of people with really sort of quite a variety of experience, you know, video production or creating a sort of animation online. So the students were able to sort of go to our team and say, this is what I want to do. This is what I want to create. This is what I think the students need. And they were able to work with our team to sort of create outputs. So that was sort of the main part there, their role. Another part is just we have them as like a hive mind. So the digital education office can sort of go to the students and get those really quick bits of student insight that sort of actual like real game changes in projects that we're working in as well. So that's really how it started. After the first run, we sort of ran a sort of evaluation and it was decided then that the CEO were able to fund the project. And so we would give them the budget to run with it, which we've got through the rest of this year and hopefully sort of onwards. But it's been a really, really fun project to work with the students. And I'm just going to let the students. So I think Olivia is going to sort of start just firstly explaining a few of the sort of projects that they've been working on, just so you can get a bit of an idea of the kind of things that they've been looking at. So I'll pass over to Olivia. Hello, so I'm Olivia. So I've just talked about one of my favourite contributions to the project so far. So with coronavirus being quite a rapid change in all of university's traditional modes of teaching, moving to online learning methods, I thought it would be quite useful to reduce some of the detachment and disconnect that might be felt by the students from the university by introducing a student's voice in the form of a walkthrough guide. So I created this walkthrough to illustrate from a student's perspective the uses and functions of Microsoft Teams and then with some tips from my own experience that a new or existing student might find quite useful to know. Then the walkthrough can be found on the DEO's website for all the students to see. And I'm quite proud of it considering that previously I'd never created or voiced any videos like this before and especially proud because I've been involved since that the walkthrough got quite good feedback. So that success then led me to get involved with the digitally skilled video series. So there I voiced another, I did another voiceover for the online identity video. That was created and during that I worked a bit more closely with Chris Anthony, one of the DEO team members and I learned how to use a whole new audio editing program which I'd never come across before. It was quite detailed and technical. So I think that video also went down quite well. I'm quite confident now in creating and contributing to these student voiceover type projects. And I'm now even looking at helping out our new student digital champions who are looking to do something similar. Yeah, so that was my highlights of contributions. So I'll pass on to Georgie now who'll probably give her highlights as well. Okay, cool. Yeah, so hi, I'm Georgie. I'm gonna be talking about the accessibility survey that we created. So having been hired specifically to work on digital accessibility and how students with disabilities might struggle to access online resources, the first thing we decided to do was generate a university-wide survey that gauged students' awareness of what digital accessibility was and how accessible they considered their course to be. And we included some questions that are on the slides. Like who do you think accessibility applies to? Where do you think you can find accessibility support and ask them to rate on a scale how accessible certain resources were, like online lectures, exams and readings that they are often set. The process of generating the survey was interesting, particularly because of the specified code of conduct for student surveys that we had to consider. And we really had to tailor our questions for students and make sure it adhered to the regulations as well as carefully considering how and when to release it to avoid survey fatigue. And this background research was critical, I think, for making the survey a success. In terms of results, they were really interesting and suggested improvements included better captioning on video lectures and they suggested ways to increase engagement with asynchronous content. But most importantly, it showed that students need better direction when looking for support with accessibility and might not even realise that there is support available for them. In fact, 54% of respondents answered, I don't know, when asked where they would look for support. So I'm now looking into ways we can improve the issues raised by the respondents. For example, I'm considering how we can promote Glean, which is an innovative note-taking tool which looks to be beneficial for students with dyslexia. But significantly, the DEO used this feedback to improve their digitally-ready Blackboard course and ensure students were made aware of this information from the start of their university experience. So that's what I have to say. I'll pass over to Helena now. I'm Helena, so my focus so far, my main focus has been on digital skills resources and looking at how these can be promoted to students who might not otherwise consider them a priority. So I started by looking in-depth at the GISC Digital Skills Framework for students and investigating different ways that the framework could be made more user-friendly and really give students a good idea of where they're at and where they might want to try and improve. So I worked with a team of other digital champions to conceptualise the framework as a tree, showing foundational skills as the roots and trunk and then other categories split into branches and leaves. And so the end illustration we created with help from the DEO team is on the right and we included some examples and definitions below it, which was made available on the website. And so the hope is that this makes the framework accessible to students in a more appealing and visual way so that they're more likely to really take those elements into consideration. And then I've also helped to test the GISC Discovery tool so for more for students who wanted to look more in-depth at their digital skills. And I've also spent some time trialling and giving feedback on the Digital Lou Ready courses that our university designed for, well, the DEO designed for students, which I remember using myself as I started university. So that was really rewarding to then be able to give some feedback on the second one and look at how you can take it further. So yeah, that was really, that was also a highlight for me. And then coming to these projects from a student's perspective as someone who doesn't have many digital skills has been really useful as it's taught me a lot more. And it's also meant that I can contribute completely from a user's perspective and sort of create what I think might be helpful. Well, what I know was helpful for me. Thanks, Anna. So yeah, as you can see, sort of quite a lot of different work that the students have been doing. And that's all coming out of them going out to students in the university and asking questions and getting that feedback. And that student voice is just coming straight back into the DEO. So it's so valuable and just been really, really rewarding. So yeah, we all just wanted to like offer a bit of our reflection and thoughts of the student digital champion project because I think there's been for all of us for staff and students, there's been a lot of learning going on as the project sort of gone out and we've been running for sort of two years now almost two years. So I will let the students sort of go through their sort of sections in a minute, but from a staff perspective, it was myself and my colleague, Suzanne Collins that started the project. And it's been a huge sort of learning curve for us. I've never, I haven't worked that closely with students before, I've always worked in a very sort of staff facing roles. So being able to work with students, especially I think, you know, 2020 was a pretty horrific year. I think as a sort of learning technologist, we were put on under sort of a huge amount of pressure and it felt quite at times that nothing was going right and everything was quite difficult and working with students who are so motivated and so interested in the work that you're doing has been just wonderful. And Olivia, Georgie and Herna also all fab, but I'll let them sort of share their work, but I think one of the best things that has come out about has come out of it from the staff perspective is the skill building that we've seen the students build and that's not something that we thought of really when we first started the project, we just thought, you know, we're just getting the student voice to sort of help student experience from the DEO, for the DEO. But one of the things that we've seen is when we sort of talk to the students how much they're actually learning and they're sort of gaining digital skills but also professional skills like for their sort of future careers. So that's been a massive thing for me that's been really rewarding. But I will let Olivia sort of talk about her experience. Thank you, Naomi. Yeah, so we've already given a recap of our favorite contributions, but I also thought it would be quite useful to show what the DEO and the student digital champion role has done for us in terms of our personal development. So personally, I really enjoyed my time as a student digital champion. It's given me the chance to gain some real work experience, developing crucial skills like digital literacy and putting things like this presentation together and working completely remotely through teams. I've also been learning how to effectively communicate my ideas and collaborate with my fellow champions. It's also enhanced my ability to manage my own time effectively because it's a completely self-regulated role, as it's so to speak. So on a more personal note as well, I feel like it's really built my confidence and it's given me a strong sense of personal fulfillment because I feel like I'm part of an amazing group of people who are actually making a difference to the student experience and that my voice is actually being valued and hurt. So yeah, so that was my reflections on my personal development, but I'll pass on to Georgie who will offer us. Yeah, so I would obviously echo everything that Olivia has just said, but also I think one thing important to my personal development in this role is the environment that we work in really facilitates the generation of ideas. And I think this is probably the first job role I've had that has allowed me to pick something I'm interested in and work on it creatively and freely. And I think Naomi and Suzanne and all of the others have always said we want you to get stuff out of this position so make sure that you're putting in what you wanna get out of it. So that was always really nice. But the role has also been quite challenging at times in a good way and there are definitely situations where I think how can I improve this or what is something that we could do to help and struggle to find an answer. But those challenging situations are what we're here to advise on and help with and it is rewarding being able to work towards solutions to those problems and use your creativity and initiative to do that. But also this role has developed my practical research and analysis skills. And I've always had to research and analyze in academic scenarios but this role has required me to analyze real life issues and real life obstacles that you come across when trying to solve those issues. And like what Naomi said when she was talking about this, this has definitely had a notable impact on my graduate job applications. And I would credit this role as being one of the reasons that I received an offer. For example, it gives me great examples of when I've used my initiative, how I've worked towards real life problems and collaborated with others independently. And it also helped that the role I applied to was research-based, which is what this champion position is all about and doing the accessibility survey and analyzing the results seem to really impress potential employers. So yeah, I'll pass on to Helen now. So similar to Georgie, I think I found that like self-led initiative-driven element of the role both challenging, quite challenging but also really rewarding. I've loved that I get to choose and shape the projects that I want to be part of because I think as a student, you're not necessarily taught that level of independence. You're often, there's a lot of independent learning but you're often told what to learn and what to create. So being able to learn how to drive that yourself and work out where there are gaps and what needs to be done has been really valuable. And then again, it has been really helpful when it comes to applications and looking at sort of transferable skills. So I also love that the role gives me a voice and the opportunity to reflect on my own learning of the experiences of others around me. That's really empowering and to be able to make use of those experiences. And so the roles also prompted me to take this big interest in existing research that has been done into how digital learning practices have changed during the pandemic and then after it. And I've now spent all this time looking into that and I'm really enjoying combining that those findings with more personal experiences and considering my own takes on how the pandemic should know how the pandemic has and should alter higher education going forward, which is obviously a really time relevant discussion. So it keeps things relevant this. It's definitely led me to engage in these more relevant ideas and it's gone further than just a role. It's now much more of a personal interest for me. Thanks Helena. So yeah, really sort of good experiences from the team which is really, really nice to see. The students where with us about, they have three hours a week contracted. So it's not a huge amount of time, but the amount of work that they've been doing has just been fantastic. So yeah, it's just really nice to hear it coming from Georgie, Helena and Livia as well. So obviously, even though there's been some really great work going on, as the students mentioned, there have been quite a lot of challenges as well. When we sort of started the role, it's not always easy to get everything right straight away and every time students finish their contract, we were always making sure that we spoke to them and said what can we improve in this role in the future? And it was really important to me that we were constantly evaluating how the role was going because it was very important that the students were getting a good experience of the role. And as sort of Georgie mentioned, we were getting so much out of the students working for us that we wanted to make sure that they were getting a good amount out of their role as well. So it was just always important to be thinking about things that might not be going right and how we can sort of improve those things to sort of change. So I think it's Georgie's gonna talk about the challenges, but if I'm wrong when someone else speaks, but I'll just let that, Georgie speak and then I'll sort of talk about it from that stuff perspective. Yeah, okay. I'll go first. Yeah, so there have obviously been some like challenges and limitations and things that haven't quite gone to plan. The main thing that I've noticed is that some of our ideas don't end up being feasible in the end. For example, alongside the student survey that I mentioned, we also developed a staff survey which focused on understanding staff awareness of digital accessibility and whether or not they focus on making their content accessible. And after creating the survey, it wasn't given the green light because the rules regarding staff surveys are even more regimented than student ones with specific time periods and regulations. And so it wasn't possible at that time. And similarly, it can be a struggle to collaborate with other areas of the university. We also got quite far in the process of developing course rep training which focused on helping students with disabilities access their course materials and making course reps aware of their challenges. And again, this didn't quite materialize because communicating with those in charge of training the course reps was quite difficult. And I suppose this comes down to the bureaucracy of universities and the challenges that poses to making large scale change. So I think Helena might speak next. So I'll pass on to her. Hi, yeah, I think just adding onto that, it touches on another difficulty we've found surrounding representing properly the students from all across the university because different departments, they have made such different uses of digital tools in learning and teaching. And as a result, it's been really important to reflect on like how the students from different department need different resources and already have varying skill levels. And therefore tools, resources for tools have been of differing relevance. And I know that that's something that I really like has been taken into consideration by the DEO when hiring us is that they end to hire students from across faculty so that we've all had different experiences and different things we can bring to the mold. But it was definitely this diversity of needs was definitely something that needed to be taken into consideration across the different projects we choose to carry out and has really highlighted the importance of communicating together on what we're working on. Yeah, exactly. Yeah, a huge sort of learning lessons for us just to sort of, you know, and it was great to sort of get those sort of thoughts back from the students and the feedback. Just thinking about it in the student perspective is just completely different to how the staff would be thinking about it. So just on a sort of staff perspective, obviously, so we've been running for just coming up to two years now for the Student Issue of Champion project. And as I said, we've been constantly sort of evolving the project as it goes. There's been things like we run drop-ins every week which was something we weren't sure of at the beginning but the students were really positive about those drop-ins where they could just come in and chat to us if they needed to. So those kind of things we've carried on. A big thing that I think I've had to learn is, you know, understanding students' needs when it comes to the role. We students, I guess as, you know, even in my team we all work in very different ways and that's the same with the students and it's important to always get that right when you're working with the students and we didn't always get it right. For example, they're thinking about like group projects and things like that. And just it was always good because if a student wasn't, you know, enjoying it or wasn't having the best time they'd be able to come to us and say, I'm not sure this is working for me and we were able to look at ways to make sure that they felt like they were getting the most out of the role and they were actually having an enjoyable experience. Georgie touched on this but definitely a really difficult one for us has been on certain projects just having to say no. I think everyone probably understands that we just can't do everything and it's sometimes quite hard when students come with really great ideas from feedback that they've got from students and we just have to say that certain things aren't feasible. The really nice thing about that though, is that at the beginning we sort of think, oh, we know we had to say no, but now we're able to sort of start thinking about it more. We're able to think, okay, can we do stuff in different ways? And I think that's a really positive thing that's come from that sort of limitation is that students are sort of thinking about things differently. So if they can't, for example, do a survey, they think, well, what can I do? So that actually has been a real sort of positive outcome of those sort of situations where we can't always do what the students want to be doing. And the last thing really is just admin of the role. The student digital champion project, I manage the students, but it's not my only job within my job role. So it can take a lot of work and now we're sort of in the swing of things. It is a lot easier at the very beginning. We did feel like we were wanting to sort of check in with the students a lot and sort of make sure that they were sort of doing the right thing. Now, in the training, we really put the onus on the student. If you need to talk to us or if you need help, you need to get in touch with us. And that seems to be working really well because students will just pop in half an hour in our calendar or they're coming to the drop-in if they want to sort of some feedback on some work or they'll go through anything or they sort of, I'm not sure what to look at this week.  So again, it's been a sort of development of from the very beginning of then we sort of had a lot of admin to do. Now we have slightly less because we do say to the students they need to be doing more of the work and making sure that they're sharing their work on teams, which is where we have our sort of collaborating group site. So I guess a limitation gets a bit, it has been a bit of a challenge but we're sort of getting there with it. So we, yeah, hopefully we would love to carry the student digital champions on. I think we probably will because we get such good feedback from them. We have done a recent recruitment in March. So we're back up to our 12 student digital champion team. We wanted to do another recruitment after Christmas because it allows the first year to apply and we had a huge amount of applications from first years. So that was a really nice thing because it's just another sort of, those students have spent a year of online learning in school. So they have some really sort of differing opinions and I can mention on the slide this group of students who we have, every group is different, but this group have some really sort of fun ideas, like some quite different ideas, quite some challenging ideas. So it's been great to sort of work with them and sort of work out if we can sort of get to do the work that they want to do that they think is important. So yeah, a few of the things that we're sort of looking at, well, I know the students are actually on holiday from today, but when they're back Instagram takeovers, they're very interesting. So we're sort of going to sort of think about takeovers on the student union or the University of Bristol Career Center on pages to sort of get our reach out of sort of what support we offer. Digital skills that Olivia mentioned, we're sort of still pushing our digital skills video series, which is really important to the DEO. We have three or four post-grad in the team in this run. So they're really sort of interested in the resources for post-grad. They feel the feedback that they've got so far from their course reps is that that demographic of students maybe was missed a bit in the sort of digital experience in the last sort of couple of years. And yeah, and as Georgie mentioned, there's been quite a lot of work that's come out of the accessibility surveys. So Georgie and a few of those sort of team members are sort of starting to look at the assistive technology and sort of how they can highlight those sort of softwares and the information to students. So there's lots going on. And we have the students up until about June, July, and then we will think about doing another recruitment over the summer. But yeah, that's sort of everything from us. If there's any questions for myself or the students, then yeah, please ask, no.


What's up guys? Jay here and I'm back on Comic-gettingTV to bring you the third and final review for the series 3 Dragon Ball Super Dragon Star's action figures. As you know we've already done hit and we've already done chunks so let's jump into the next one. And that one is Super Sand Blue Goku. As you know Goku's pretty much the star of the whole Dragon Ball series. He's been Dragon Ball fighting amongst those of King Piccolo and all the other bad guys Red Ribbon Army. Here's a ton to name. That was the start of it all. That's where they introduced Goku, Bulma, Kirlin, Roshi, Tien, all these guys. Those were the main people of that show and it was awesome. I promise. A lot of people didn't like it. That's why they kind of skipped over Dragon Ball and went straight to Dragon Ball Z when it came to America all because let's face it Dragon Ball Z, one of the girdest animas of all time, right? Now this one introduces Goku as an adult. He has a child. He's Mario Dichichi. He fights Raditz, Napa, Vegeta. Very awesome. Saiyan Saga. Next he goes on to Planet Namek where he meets the Ginyu Force, fights alongside Gohan, Kirlin and Vegeta to take down Frieza. This is where Goku becomes a Super Saiyan. After that he goes on, fights Cell, dies because Cell literally becomes huge and just blows himself up. After that Gohan kills Cell, move on to an adult Gohan. Now it's funny where the Boo Saga starts because in the Boo Saga Gohan was supposed to be the main guy like the main man but fans were so upset that Goku died. The creator of the show and the manga brought him back. Goku comes back, they find Majin Buu and from there it's just an all-out battle. Buu kills everybody besides Goku on Earth and then after that Goku goes off, fights Buu, takes him down with the Spirit Bomb. At the end of that he wishes for Buu to be resurrected so that way someday Buu can come back good and they could have a sparring match. Now after this we get like almost 20 years of nothing besides some video games and then came during a Ball Z battle of gods which introduced Beerus, Wiz and the new form Super Saiyan God. After that it was all out battle of Frieza again came back from the dead had a new form was golden was really awesome you haven't seen any of these episodes go out check them out very cool they're subbed and dubbed very very awesome show now let's get into what we're here to talk about the most and that is this action figure let's open them up check them out and see what he's all about alright guys so here he is Super Saiyan blue Goku as you can see the hair looks really good it's got that blue greenish tone to it he's wearing his clothes from universe 6 and 7 tournament with Wiz's symbol right here very cool the head is pretty movable arms move really well little stiff they're still out fresh out of the package the legs been quite well like I said still a little stiff but not too bad and then you have the feet not bad I like them I give this figure about an 8 out of a 10 just due to the fact that I believe he's probably one of the best in the series alongside chunks and hit series 3 has been I think they've learned a lot from the first and the second one to where they were able to update a lot better and make a few things as you know chunks turned out really well it was cool I like him except for these I just don't understand it just due to the fact that none of the other figures really have them I mean as you can see trunks has it a little bit but not too bad other than that this series I believe I'd give it about a 7 out of a 10 compared to the other ones that I believe they've learned a lot from the head sculpts and a little bit on bending of the joints and everything as you can see their series one beers so I mean he turned out really well he was my favorite out of series one alright guys thank you very much for watching if you liked this video don't forget to hit like down at the bottom and also don't forget to subscribe to comicget and TV for even more videos thank you very much for watching you guys have a great day


Hello and welcome to Music and More where we talk about great music with great musicians while having a lot of fun. My name is Elliot Moore and I'm the conductor of the Longmont Symphony Orchestra. We have got a great show lined up for you today. We're going to be speaking with the world-renowned composer Bright Sheng. Also, we're going to have a performance from 2017 of Dvorak's New World Symphony, The Finale. Also, we're going to continue to take a closer look at how a conductor studies a score in preparation to conduct it. But first, as you can tell, I am not coming to you today from my home, but rather from one of my all-time favorite establishments here in Longmont. Please join me at La Vita Bella. I have always loved La Vita Bella here in Longmont. It is one of my all-time favorite restaurants. And also, it reminds me so much of all the places that I used to go to in Switzerland. It is a wonderful place to dine. Todd, I'm doing great. How are you doing? Great. Thanks for coming in again. Yeah, of course. Some wonderful new dishes here that you might want to look at. And I guess I'll start you with your usual appetizer. I'll take the carpaccio. Coming right up, sir. Thank you very much. I come here all the time to study my music. But because I'm the only person here right now, I can forego wearing my mask and talk to you all about how I study a score. Once I've marked the harmonies, the next thing that I do is I put in all of the bowings. It's a very time-consuming task to put in all of these bowings to bow each and every single string part. And there's a lot that goes into it. And in fact, maybe now is a good time to explain a few fundamental things about how you bow. Here is a down bow. And here is an up bow. And when you have a slur, you play many notes under one bow like this. That's a slur on a down bow. And here's a slur on an up bow. And a down bow tends to get softer. And an up bow tends to get louder. And that's because you have more weight in your hand here. And so when you're at this part of the bow, at the tip of the bow, it tends to be softer because you don't have as much weight. You have to pronate a little bit more. That's basically how bowings work. If there are no slurs, then it's assumed that all the notes are separated starting down. Like that. Here it is a little bit slurred. That just gives a little bit of an idea between slurs and ups and downs. Then there are some tricks. For example, what happens if I want something to be very powerful and emphatic? I could go like this. But I could actually do all downs too. Here is that same music played with all downs. Do you see how that becomes more emphatic? So there are some tricks that also you can do with the bow. Knowing how bowings work is critical for how a conductor can shape their performance. Now I am going to begin actually putting the bowings into my score. Here we go. Oh, thank you so much, Todd. I really appreciate it. Hey, I thought we were alone today. We should be, as much as I know. You know, I thought I heard some really heavy footsteps. Do you know if anyone else is in here? Do you want to maybe investigate? Listen, you do that. I'm going to keep going with my bowings. Thanks, Todd. I'll secure the premises. Thanks. I appreciate it. Sir? Excuse me, sir, how did you get in the building? Sir? Excuse me, sir? Are they told me? Are they told me in my restaurant? This is unbelievable. This is alive. I can't believe it. Where can I get you? Hungry! I've got some incredible special dishes, barmed to a table. Farm to a table? What else would it be? I mean, doesn't come from a factory. Wow. Some things have changed since the 1800s. I have something special for you. I'm going to write it up. And that wraps up how bowings impact the symphonic work. Now, a word from our sponsor. Are they told me? I hope you enjoyed your meal. Oh, wunderbar. Fantastic. I love to hear that. Music to my ears. And here's the fun part. Here is your bill. Oh! With cash or credit card. Oh! Mein! Ich habe kein Geld! Where are they? Please, when you put this, if it organizes, just like you do with all your great compositions, I'm sure you'll find this the most simple steps. I'll be back to check on you. What are you doing? This is not playtime. It's work time. Get back to work. I can't hear you. Please, when you're favorite, and put the glasses right in there, and you can just watch it. Thank you. Maestro Breitscheng is regarded as one of the foremost composers of our lifetime. His works have been performed all throughout North America, Europe, as well as in Asia. The ensembles that have commissioned some of his works include such ensembles like the New York Philharmonic, the Chicago Symphony, the San Francisco Symphony, just to name a few. Also, his collaborators have included such people like Leonard Bernstein and Yo-Yo Ma, Kurt Mazur, as well as Michael Tilson Thomas. It is my distinct pleasure to welcome Maestro Breitscheng to Music and More. Well, Breitscheng, thank you so much for joining us. It's an honor to have you on Music and More, so thank you for joining us. And how are you doing? I'm okay with, you know, given all the situations. I can't just spend a lot of time with my family, otherwise I wouldn't. Normally my schedule is about six months on the road somewhere. You were born in China. You have spent most of your adult life in the United States. And I'm wondering how you've been able to find your musical voice, given these two very different places where that are such a part of you. Can you talk about how you've managed to do that? Would you like to long answer or short answer? Well, let's go with the long one. I think it's fascinating to tell you the truth. Well, let me start with a short answer. The short answer is just like me. I'm talking English and I'm bilingual. I can watch a Chinese movie and talking to you in English on the phone. And get both. And it took me a while to get there, of course. When I first came, I need to translate a sentence in Chinese and into English before I could speak. So that goes with the Western and Chinese music. They're quite different, but there are a lot of things in common. And so what I end up doing is, what I would like to call that by now, I feel that I'm 100% Chinese and 100% American. So in a way, in the most humble way, that because I consider myself have a deep understanding of both cultures. And through years of studying and continuously studying. And that, to me, and all these knowledge and life experience that filter through me, whatever comes out, comes out. I don't really think too much about this is sounding too Chinese or too Western. I want it more Western sounding. I want it more Chinese. I just think when I write, I just think whatever comes out. I, as an audience member, I would love this, the music. I would get thrilled to hear this music. And I was fortunate because I was at Lener Bernstein, who was my teacher and mentor, and did that, the same to me. I'm wondering if you can talk to us a little bit about what you got from Lener Bernstein, and if you'd be willing to share maybe a funny story or two about him that maybe we don't know from any books. I don't know if I can share a funny story.   I think it's more important to understand the common ground being a human and as an artist, and its function to the society. You know, there is a story now that just occurred to me. This is, I met him and I was studying with him periodically whenever he was in town. And then I had my first break in New York. I had nothing to do with Lenny, actually another conductor, Gerard Schwartz, who had been champion of my music in the early days, still to this day. And he had a group in New York, a new music group called Music Today. He commissioned my first New York commission. I was still a student at Columbia University, working on my doctorate. He wanted a piece and I wrote a small 13 instrument piece. At the time, everybody was writing a piece for 13 instruments. You know, that was kind of the chamber, they have Schoenberg and so on and so forth. I wrote the piece and I got my first New York Times review, which is a favorable review by John Rockwell. And it's not a glorifying review, but it's a very positive review. So I was kind of happy and Lenny called me and said, oh, I read your review. Oh, you are famous now. I would like to hear the piece. So I brought the score, I brought the recording, cassette tape and I was happy to show him kind of a little bit elated, so to speak. And I played the recording and he ended the silence. He didn't praise, he didn't say anything about whether the piece good or bad. And then he said, for whom it is written?  Because this is the piece I was commissioned and, you know, I said, I don't know how to answer this question. He said, well, what is this for? Did you write this piece for the conductor, Gerard Schwartz or you write for the audience or for the New York Times critic or for the musicians, your music friend or for your composer friends or for your teacher at Columbia or for yourself for whom it is written. And he took out a red pencil to cover this line. I still have the cover. And that was a very important question. It took me a long time to figure it out. What really he meant. So to me, he was asking a very important question because when I first came to New York, I was, you know, penniless, no language, no money and not much. It's kind of a spotty music education. Although, my professor in Shanghai probably thought that was a very discriminating comment. But it is because there was, you know, western music was quite different taught in China. It's like the Chinese food you eat here. So it's not quite when you go to China. So it's a big eye-opening for me. And then I met that who was the pinnacle of classical music and he taught me a lot of things. So I was learning all this and it was struggling, you know. And then here I go, have my first break. In other words, my first time my music was played in the U.S. by professional musicians.  So then I was, in another way, I was supported as an artist. And the question is now what do you do? He was asking what would you do in return? In other words, for whom it is written? So to me I think artists now, now I believe that artists have people like you, a performer too, has a responsibility to the society. And that's very important because once you have that, that doesn't matter what you do. It doesn't matter what social condition you are, circumstances, a pandemic, a post-pandemic, pre-pandemic. It doesn't really matter. What is your responsibility? Now we know we argue the great art society should support arts. And now they do. You got your commission, whether it's public or private, it doesn't matter. Society supported you. What is your what is your responsibility now? In return to the support. So that question stayed with me for all those years and sort of guided me for my professional life as a composer, pianist or conductor. Everything I do in music. In so many ways, we're all the same. We all have hopes, aspirations, dreams, fears. We all want love. And in many ways, what we're talking about or what you've been talking about is this how culture the role that culture plays in connecting us all. Well, culture is very important. That is part of the, I think the most important part of a civilization without culture you could have a great country, but it becomes it just not civilized simply. I want to change TAC a little bit here. Last year I was working with a very talented youth orchestra in the region and a student came up to me in the break and he asked me, he said do you have any advice, of course me, somebody who wants to become a composer? And so I gave him my answer, but I'm wondering what your answer would be to you know, let's say a high school aged student who's saying to you I'd like to become a composer. What advice do you have? I would say terrific. Then I'll ask what kind of music, what kind of composer, whose music do you admire? What kind of music you would like to write? You might not be able to write at this moment. It's just the same thing with a conductor or a pianist. Whom do you want to be? You want to be Martha Arbridge. You want to be Lang Lang. If you set up those goals and we can achieve that, I help you. There is a specific track will help you to get there with a lot of work and guidance and TLC. I feel like we know, you and I know and I think a lot of people that are watching this show, they have an idea sort of how American orchestras are doing during the pandemic. What I'm curious about is how are Chinese orchestras doing during the pandemic? Are things beginning to lift now in China in terms of audiences being able to come to performances? Is that very far off? Do you know about that? In China orchestras are basically back to normal. Not completely normal. They reduce seasons. I have a couple of commissions, co-commissions with Chinese orchestras and the premiere has been postponed. Part of the reason is foreigners now they really don't work with international artists because of the quarantine requirement and all that. But I think by the end of this year things are going to improve. Things will open up. But they are doing concerts for sure. In a limited way they don't have foreign orchestras and visiting orchestras and they don't travel much. So it's still very cautious. We're kind of seeing the light at the end of the tunnel which is wonderful. I know that we're all so excited to get back to making music in person instead of doing things over Zoom sessions. But let me at least express to you how grateful I am that you were on the TV show and we're looking forward to hearing some of your music and hopefully we'll be able to get you down here in Longmont before too long. So thank you so much Bray. I look forward to that day. Thank you. In the spirit of Bray Chang's music being a fusion between American and Chinese culture I thought that I would play another work that is a fusion of that composer's homeland which is Anthony Dvorak's The Czech Republic and American culture. And in his Ninth Symphony he actually uses the song of Hiawatha, the poem as the basis for his entire Ninth Symphony. Here is a recording from 2017 of the Longmont Symphony Orchestra performing the finale of Dvorak's Ninth Symphony from the New World.

The House of Assembly by Affirmative Resolution Tuesday approved the Draft Value Added Tax Amendment of Schedule 3 No. 2 order, which amends Schedule 3 of the Act to exempt imports by an elected parliamentarian for the benefit of children, the vulnerable and needy persons in the constituency of the elected parliamentarian, of toys, food supplies, care packages, including items for personal use, to be given as part of the Christmas holiday season. It is one of several measures instituted by government to assist various segments of the population in mitigating the impacts of COVID-19. Minister for Commerce, Industry, Investment, Enterprise Development and Consumer Affairs, and Parliamentary Representative for Shrevelle Sultibus, Honourable Bradley Felix, threw his support behind the motion. He explained that all parliamentarians are afforded the opportunity to make use of the provision. Minister for Commerce added that the Cabinet's May 29, 2020 approval of the granting of concessions on barrels imported at Christmas provided an additional avenue for the importation of goods and food items for the underprivileged in the various constituencies. Cabinet further approved the transmission of the appropriate legal instrument to parliament to declare barrels imported during the period June 2nd, 2020 to January 44, 2020, exempt from value-added tax. Mr Speaker, the only difference in this is one, parliamentarians were identified, parliamentarians were identified, and we added the lighting. Prime Minister of St. Lucia, Minister for Finance and Parliamentary Representative for Miko South, Honourable Alan Shastney, highlighted the impact of the barrel concessions approved by Cabinet in an effort to provide relief to the poor and vulnerable people in St. Lucia. In 2019, Mr Speaker, the total number of barrels that came in between November 15 and January 31 was 16,482, and there was a CIF value of $11.83 million, and there was approximately $4.2 million in foregone tax revenues and $709,000 in foregone service charge collected. Thus, Mr Speaker, from June 1, because you remember that we went because of the extraordinary situation to allow barrels to come in from even earlier, and as was mentioned that we increased the allocation from two, which would be the norm, to three per household, and we did it on a timely basis. So thus far, Mr Speaker, as we speak as of December 1, there was 26,000 barrels that have been imported, a CIF value of $18.6 million, approximately $6.6 million in foregone duties, and $1.1 million in foregone service charge collected. So, Mr Speaker, government has foregone close to $8 million in tax revenue to help in many cases the vulnerable. Parliamentary representative for Grozile and Minister for Equity, Social Justice, Local Government and Empowerment, Hon. Leonard Montout, explained that the government, especially during the COVID-19 pandemic, has been making strides towards alleviating the burden on the poor and vulnerable. He noted that the government has increased the grants for and expanded several vulnerable groups. The minister informed that the Child Disability Grant, the allocation for the child foster care program, and the funds to beneficiaries under the Social Assistance Program, living with HIV, are a few of the groups who received increased support during the COVID-19 pandemic. He noted that the Public Assistance Program has also been expanded. Mr Speaker, that program since COVID-19 has grown from a total of 2,600 households to 3,600 households, an increase of 1,000 households, an increase of 1,000 households. Mr Speaker, we had extension officers of my ministry engage in field work, okay, going around in the rectification of the PAP program, that is Public Assistance Program, ensuring that we, in our expansion, got to the people who are most in need. The motion was passed in the lower house on Tuesday 15th December 2020.


Normally, I would only have a level 3, but guess what? We're playing on a new version of Fighters! Add in a little extra- UGH! It still didn't kill! UGH! How's it going everybody? Zoptonoi here back with some more Dragon Ball Fighters ranked matches and today we are finally checking out the team of all Blues post the big patch. Now, we already showed off some of the fun stuff you can do with Goku Blue, but the big thing that I kind of forgot about honestly was the fact that Vegeta now has a level 4, doesn't have a level 5 like his other blue counterparts, but you know, I think it's the thought that counts. Let me go ahead and power up real quick. His level 4 though, I will say, it's not as cool as it could have been. Like it's Trunks' level 2, I think is way cool. I'm 2Ming. I'm 2Ming again. Oh, I landed! I should have just believed in myself. What am I doing? I'm clicking all the wrong buttons in all the wrong places, dude. Oh, alright, that one worked out. That one worked out, but I feel like that was still accident though. Let me slide him down. I put myself in the corner and you know what? Sometimes that happens. Sometimes you just go in the corner. Oh, wow, I am losing a lot of health. Oh, wow, I'm losing a lot. Alright, we blocked that. I'm switching out. I'm not standing around. What?  Don't even play with me, bro. I will big bang attack. I will big bang attack. I got a moment's notice. I'll do it. I'll do it, dude. And don't even play with me. Get Vigito back in here. Damn it. I don't know why I wanted this. I don't know why I wanted this. Nice. I'll take that. I will definitely take that. I'm just going to take a level 3 too. I'll take a level 3, get a bit of knockdown. Oh, the reflect into 5H. That hurts. That hurts the soul. And we have two bars though. Oh, that one connected. So the first one was probably meant to connect too, but hey, don't play with me. Let me see Vigito. I'm here to fight Vigito. Over here. All right. He's always not playing any games. Ah, come on. You knew I, you knew I was going to click buttons after that. It was only a matter of time. It was only a matter of time till I started clicking buttons. I'm going to take that though. All right. Feeling good. Broly is still a colossal threat. Oh, he thought I was going behind. He thought I was going in front. Big bang attack. That's huge, huge hit stun.  Level three. Is it going to be slow? I got hit by it. My brain was working overtime because I was like, does that work? No way. That worked. Gojita. This will probably hit me. Knock me back into the slow one and you can combo and then it didn't happen. My brain ceased to function. And then, you know, that happened. So you basically saw what happened in slow. I broke it down pretty good. All right. One button. Oh, I put myself in the corner. Dude, we're just going for limit break. Vegeta, by the way, in case you're wondering why the big, the big character hasn't made his entrance. It's because I'm saving, sparking. I'm saving everything for Vegeta. Vegeta is going to win this level four for the level four is genuinely going to get me the win. Ask my prediction. When do I spark? That was the question. Oh, okay. It's going to be now. That's the question has been answered. The question is answered a long time ago. I'll just spark now. Come on. What? Why did my sparking? Why did my super dash like give up on me? Let's go. Now I'm just dealing with Broly. Let me see what Broly has to say for himself. I'm just click medium. Go. Oh, that felt so sick. Oh, is this going to kill? Normally, I would only have a level three, but guess what? We're playing on a new version of fighters. Add in a little extra. Oh, it's still didn't kill. No, Broly way. No, Broly, I wasn't questioning your damage, Broly. You got it all wrong. You got it all wrong, Broly. You got it all wrong. That wasn't what it was supposed to be. That's not what it was. That's never what it was. That's never what it was.  Take goodness. He didn't super dash. All right. Well, Majino's going to take this one thumbs up. Oh, Majino, let's not talk. Let's not talk trash. Yeah, Majino. We still got a whole nother set. We still got a whole nother game to play. Whoo. All right. So we do walk away with the win.  Uh-oh. I don't like the Majino inspired stamp. I was worried about something like that. Oh, Big Bang assist. Oh, he's just I didn't even see him snatch me. I didn't even see him snatch me. I don't even know when to happen. All right. Back down to the ground. Love to see it. That was kind of spicy though. You've got to admit that was kind of spicy though. Over here. Over here. Over here. Over here again. Damn it. I messed up like six times over here. Part two are a flag day. Okay. Okay. I didn't work out like how I wanted and I'm back in the corner. I got to stop doing that. We've been put in the corner a couple of times through that method. And I just keep making that same mistake just on the ground pressure. That's what we need to see.  I was like, oh, he dropped.  Let's go. No, it was planned. It was planned. He caught me. He caught me slipping. All right. That was unfortunate. I'm a keyblast here. Dash into a full step kick. Okay. We still have spark. We're still riding on that same. All right. He's really taking advantage of my of my thinking that he would he's dropping stuff. He's really taking advantage. I'm holding down tech for the rest of my life now.    All right, Vigito. It's time to step up once again. What did we do last time? We just hit medium. So I'm not going to play that game with him this time. I will spark now. Not super dash. Oh, I think I've had finger super dash. I want to vanish. Oh, I want to vanish. It's okay. Sparking staying with me. We're getting a no wait. No, it's not. I forgot that's not how it works. I don't know why I always get confused. Sparking's leaving me at the moment. Oh, no, dude. Am I going to spend the rest of my life in this blender? No, I refuse. I refuse to be in the blender. Let's go. We out. All right, come on. We got this. We got I'm not giving it up, dude. I'm not giving up. And it could have been sick. Oh, we got grabbed Keyblast. He called us out on the first rotation of kicks. He plays Vigito.  Should have kicked again. Should have kicked again. Should have hit that second kick. All right. All right. All right. All right. All right. It's because of Vigito talk trash. It's because of Vigito talk trash. Can't let Vigito talk trash after game one. Oh, no, dude. He's icing us. He's icing us. Hey, come on. Hit the rematch button, bro. Dude, I'm trying to get back in there. Oh, he's iced. I'm on ice. Oh, all right. As he was placing me into the cooler, he took me out again. I'm too emmy. Let's go. Let's go, dude. Sometimes all you need is to get to him. Oh, let's go. Hey, you know, I'm dropping stuff on purpose now. Yeah. On purpose. Let's go. Got him with the reset. This guy's in Canada. Over here. Over here. Over here. Goku blue is still a lot of fun to this day.  He's immune to everything except for these hands. Let's go. He might have stopped Vigito assist, but you can't stop these hands. I tried to over here again. Oh, no, I was I was trying to give him the slip. He might level. He's going to slow level three. It's again. Broly so sick. Okay. All right. So what I was panicking is no need to make fun of me. Let's go. Nice. Let's go. No way. He actually got hit by that. I could have done much more with that. Wow, that worked. What? I don't know what's happening. Why is he getting hit by this stuff? Oh, why am I dropping this over head? You bang attack over here to age. I haven't been to ageing often, but come on. Give me a little more credit. All right. Let's let Vigito get in here, dude. Let's let Vigito finish it off. This is looking like it's going to be the end. I say while facing a limit break Broly that very well could kill me. He's moving. He's moving different. There we go. That's going to be it. Oh, kick this man. All right. I'm activating full kick mode. No. Oh, no. Well, eventually the blues are going to get the. All right. I'll take it set one a little bit chaotic. But you know what? At the end of the day, it is what it is. Honestly, it is simply what it is. We're going to take it. Ha ha. I mean that may be happy. Maybe smile. I appreciate the stamps. All right. Moving on to the next set. Great games to that opponent. Let's keep seeing if these blues can get even more wins. All right. And we are back up against the Jiren player. I'm just going to. Oh, just. I was really hoping to start with the counter. I wanted to remind him of the nerf. But no, he started with the the TOD starter for Jiren, dude. Oh, I'll take it. I don't know any switches. So we're just going to let Vigito blue go ahead. Take it. But I mean Vigito blue. I'm sad. Honestly, I feel so strong as Vegeta in this. Forgot he could do that. Forgot he could honestly do that. At least we got the combo. All right, just go down.  Focus. I'm focused right now. Hit him with the blue Goku. I don't know why we're so intent on saving Vigito for anchor. It's not like it matters that much, but I just and dude, I am saving Vigito. Oh, not the EX kick starter. The forbidden move. Oh, oh, what? What? What even just happened there? That was kind of sick, though. That was smart.  Man, that system change is so sick to me. It's something that feels like it should have been. It feels so natural. All right. Oh, I'll take it. Grab this man. All right, we're only grabbing him so that we could throw him into the corner. That's pretty much the extent to that. I don't know what to do here. We're just going to vanish. Keep him in the corner. Maybe to age that. We'll take it. L, L, L, L. Yes. All right. The kicks, some light kicks will do you just fine. And now it's Vigito versus Vigito. I'm going to start it like he did to age that. How did I drop that? All right. Not my best move, not my best moment. I must admit. Oh, I don't know if I like this. I'm holding S. Just in case he lets me super jump away. Forgot he hit me with the level four. I'm out of there, dude. I'm super jumping away. Oh, that was sick. Holding S, by the way, is the new general chains they made. If you hold S, you get a super jump now. Ah, ever try to dragon rush me because I don't tech him. I just raw level three through him. Why tech a dragon rush when you just hit level three? That's that is the question men have been trying to answer for ages. Why tech when you could just raw super? I'll take it though. You're really good. All right. That feels like a backhanded insult after what I did. Hey, I love to see that. That's not going to hit anything. Oh, I'm too quick. That's too. Oh, I thought it was too low, but it actually did hit. We just kind of we just kind of accidentally we bad gameplay that guy to death. I dropped so many things that he just kind of keeled over. He X kicks. I'll take those behind the back. Damn it. Oh, too fast. Too fast. All right. We'll just we had advantage there. Is he want to super that I feel like he wants to super dash relatively. Soon. Oh, he was he wasn't walking. I'll take it then. All right. I try to two H it him off me. I always forget how slow that is. But the headstone is too good to be ignored. The headstone is simply too good to be ignored. All right. Let me get let me get Vegeta win on this. I'm bad at the game. I am bad at the game. All right. He's going to do the new sliding. Yep. They gave that to Goku in the patch as well.  I was trying to reach for it. New sliding. Yep. I try to roll over three again. Well, I guess that type of would have been a rock level four. Damn it. That was really bad of me. All right. All right. All right. I must admit. And what is he supposed to I feel so strong in that position. Like what does he do? What does he do? Oh, I was too slow. I mean that is what he does. But it like I can cancel into a super. I can go in this big bang. I feel so good at that position. He keeps catching me off guard. I'm waiting for that situation.    I'm paying for mistakes. He got tired of seeing Vegeta blue. Oh, damn it. That was a genuine strategy to it. Just kept missing the punish. All right. All right. We we we did that to ourselves. Oh, no about that. Oh, I'm Vegeta blue. Kai to slow down because I really wanted to test my reaction. Was that game to already? It feels like it's been like only a couple seconds. No way. That was getting was that game to was that game to I don't think that was game to it was game to wow. Man, I was having so much fun. It flew by. Hopefully you enjoyed it though. If you did, let me know your favorite moment down below in the comments. What are you thinking of a Jito buffs? Honestly, I think he's relatively the same. They just gave him a level four. I think it was almost just kind of a not it was a it was fan service. I'll be honest. I think all the other blues had level five, so they wanted to give him something with what they could, but you know, it's it's it's it's a buff. It's definitely a buff. Hopefully you enjoyed it regardless. If you did, let me know like and subscribe to the channel if you want to stay up to date on all the videos. Check out the ones on your screen if you want to watch more right away. Other than that, I've been dotted away and I will see you in the next one.


Attacks of apnea, where babies temporarily stop breathing, and muscular atony, where babies go limp after exposure to cow's milk, may also be explained by extra-central activity of casomorphin, meaning outside the brain. Casomorphin, this opiate-like peptide produced by cow's milk, is also responsible for triggering pseudo-allergic reactions and other abnormalities seen in crib death. And moreover, similar to morphine, they delay the gastric emptying time and so may increase the risk of infants refluxing stomach contents back up into their lungs. Thus, it can be said that the so-called milk apnea effect may consist of several components, an opioid-induced respiratory depression, an opioid-induced pseudo-allergic histamine-related respiratory response, and influence on the peripheral nervous system, a cow's milk-induced reflux followed by aspiration-induced apnea. Sudden infant death syndrome is not the only condition linked to these morphine-like compounds. From another medical journal recently, casomorphins liberated from the cow's milk protein, beta-casin, are accused of participating in the cause of such conditions as autism, crib death, type 1 diabetes, postpartum psychosis, circulatory disorders, and food allergies. In terms of autism risk, whereas the human casomorphins, which are the only ones found in the breast milk of women who don't drink cow's milk, are associated with normal psychomotor development of muscle tone. In contrast, elevated levels of bovine casomorphin, found in cow's milk-based formula-fed infants, for example, was associated with a delay in psychomotor development and muscle spasticity. This evidence suggests that the inability of some infants to adequately eliminate bovine casomorphin may be a risk factor for delay in psychomotor development and other diseases such as autism.
