Well, thank you, ladies and gentlemen. I'd like to begin by thanking Hansen Gulchen for having had the great kindness to invite me back to the eighth conference of the Property and Freedom Society. This is my seventh conference. Sadly, I was unable to attend last year and I'm very glad to be here this morning and I'm very grateful for your attention. Now, Hans has asked me to speak on the subject of understanding England and the English, and there are various approaches that I could take to that topic. I could start off with Shakespeare, the changing of the guard, Churchill, the royal family tradition, or I could refer you to the rather sinister pantomime that preceded last year's Olympic Games, which some of you may have been unfortunate enough to have sat through. But whether I take a broadly right wing or left wing view of England, what I can say is that we English have an obsession with ourselves. We love to talk with ourselves, and we love to talk with ourselves to you foreigners. Indeed. Indeed. Some people talk about nationalism as engendering hate.  And I'm afraid that includes, indeed it particularly includes Americans. But no, no. Of course, leaving, joking aside, of course I can make a case for the proposition that there are two great nations in modern civilization, two great nations which have done more than any other to produce the civilization in what we live. One is England, and one is Germany. And of those two, England is by far the superior. But that is not at all to denigrate the Germans, because the Germans, as I said, are one of the two great nations behind modern civilization. But rather than lapse into our favorite comfort zone, talking about things like the development of the scientific method, the development of classical liberalism of representative democracy, and generally of sweetness and light and reason, I'm afraid I cannot deny the fact that something has gone badly wrong with modern England. In fact, there is a good case to be made for the proposition that the whole country has gone barking mad at some point during the last generation. It's difficult to say when the madness came on us. I think it became undeniable that something was wrong when the Princess of Wales died 16 years ago. You may remember that she was running away from some newspaper people in Paris.  Her driver was under the influence. They drove too fast, the car turned over, and that was the end of her. There are somewhat more entertaining, though perhaps less likely variants of that story. What I most remember about it, however, is the mountains of flowers that began to appear within a few hours of her death, and the horribly embarrassing fuel cortege.  The country has never been the same since then. It is impossible to say that this was the cause of our present madness. It was simply one of the symptoms of the approaching insanity. But it has continued. I could fill an entire lecture. I could fill an entire morning by talking about the multicultural lunacies in England, but I don't think it would be terribly productive to do that. What I will do instead is to talk about the, what I could call the sexual frenzy that is taking place within modern England. Let me begin with the status of homosexuals in England. Now, I can talk about this with a great deal of confidence. Some of you might say, I can talk about it with a great deal of guilt. Ever since I was 15, I have been a strong critic of the legal disabilities under which homosexuals labored in England at school when you could perhaps get roughed up in the playground and when you certainly got some funny looks from other boys and teachers alike. I was proclaiming that consenting adults had the right to do with each other exactly as they pleased and it was not the business of the law to interfere and indeed it probably wasn't the business of anyone to pass adverse comments on this. It was an indifferent matter. I went through the 1980s proclaiming this truth in which I still strongly believe and when in 1990 15 men were arrested and charged with a number of offences so this was a private sex club, a sadomasochistic sex club and these men had been gathering together men in late middle age and beating each other up and banging nails through various intimate parts of their anatomy. They were monitored by the police for quite a long time and eventually they were arrested and they were charged with various crimes under the Offences Against the Person Act 1861. One of the men was charged with the hideous offence of aiding and abetting an assault upon himself. Now, I wrote the earliest and by general agreement one of the best analyses of what is called the Spanner case and although these men were mostly found guilty and some of them went to prison for a while the law was subsequently changed to make such prosecutions not impossible in the future but less easy for the authorities to begin and I regarded this as a step in the right direction. Something that I'm afraid I did not fully anticipate was that as soon as the legal disabilities were removed from homosexuals they would be replaced by legal privileges and there are a number of cases which in their own way are as shocking and as illiberal as any of the persecutions that homosexuals and cells suffered in the past. I'll give you the most recent and the one in which I am most personally involved. A friend of mine is the Reverend Alan Clifford. He is the pastor of the Norwich Reformed Church. He is a strong Calvinist and a biblical literalist. I have a wide circle of friends and I am rather pleased that although we disagree on a number of matters of fundamental importance that Dr Clifford and I remain on very good terms of friendship.   Things of that kind.  Then Dr Clifford decided to send out copies of two of his pamphlets and just for the sake of completeness, it's the sort of thing I would certainly do because I'm an expert in the art of spanning, he added the leaders of the Norwich Gay Pride to the mailing list of these two leaflets. The directors of Norwich Gay Pride complained about this to the police and on the following Monday morning Dr Clifford was visited in his home and he was told that a homophobic incident had taken place and he had a choice. He could pay a £90 fine and accept a police caution, i.e. he could admit his guilt and be given the tiniest slap on the wrist imaginable. £90, I'm afraid, is not very much nowadays in modern England. Or he could assert his innocence, in which case the file would be passed to the Crown Prosecution Service and he might be prosecuted for a hate crime. Of course Dr Clifford said, I am not guilty of any offence. He stated the law, he quoted some Bible texts and he sat back secure in the knowledge that God would look after his own. Perhaps God will look after his own because the Crown Prosecution Service would be mad, us and mad to take Dr Clifford's court. He is not some self-hating Anglican vicar who will turn up in court begging forgiveness and saying that Jesus loves gay people and he has won himself.  Dr Clifford is a Calvinist, he is one of those people who drove the Catholic Church out of England in the 16th century and who pulled down the Stuart monarchy in the 17th century and he and his kind are not frightened of the Crown Prosecution Service or indeed Norwich Gay pride. But what you have is the legal prosecution of a street preacher, somebody who makes it part of his life's work to proclaim the word of Christ in the street. And he is not the only street preacher who has suffered the attention of the authorities. There are dozens of them. A friend of mine, John Cursey, has detailed them on the Libertarian Alliance blog. There are at least eight and there was another street preacher, an American street preacher arrested in Glasgow last week. I don't know what he's been saying but probably quoting the usual Bible texts about homosexuality. I must say that the great concern that many Christian evangelists show about homosexuality is disappointing that there are many other bad things about life in Northern England and to keep banging on about Leviticus chapter 18 verse 22 and 1 Corinthians 6, 13, et cetera, strikes me as not exactly a waste of time but perhaps a misdirection of resources. But that's not the point. The point is that Christianity is the established faith of my country and even if it weren't, people should have the right to preach what they regard as the word of God in public so long as they do not make obvious nuisance of themselves like some ridiculous man in Oxford Circus who regales people with a megaphone. But that is one example. One example of what you might regard as great sexual laxity in England. Another example is the case of Jimmy Saddle which may not, I rather hope it hasn't, which may not have travelled very far beyond England shores. Now Jimmy Saddle was a popular entertainer in the 1960s, 70s, 80s, 90s and indeed the first decade of ascension. A very popular entertainer with his bleach blonde hair, his cigar and his taste in rather questionable music. And you only had to look at him to see that he was a thoroughly nasty piece of work and probably a bit dodgy as well. Indeed, when I was in my early 20s I was told that he had connections with organised criminals and if you got seriously on his nerves he might have your legs broken. I thought that was rather entertaining because I was in no position to get on his nerves and therefore in no danger of the attention of his friends. Now when Mr, not Mr Saddle, Sir Jimmy Saddle though that may have been taken away since I'm not quite sure, let's stick with Mr. When Mr Saddle died in 2011 he was sent off by the media with a great gust of hot air about his charitable work, his great personal saintness and about how the fabric of our national life had been diminished by his loss. And that carried on for about 11 months until eventually the media published what they had known all along but for 50 years Jimmy Saddle had had a taste in underage girls not in children of 7 and 8 or anything like that but a taste for girls aged 13 and 14 which is legal in many parts of the world and which indeed was perfectly legal in England until 1885 and which was regarded as a minor foible in the 1970s when Jimmy Saddle was at the peak of his thing however he was denounced as a pedophile and the hysteria began hundreds of women came forward claiming that they had had their lives ruined by him in 1962 Eventually Mr Saddle's relatives responded to the hysteria by joining in What they did was they had his gravestone pulled away from his grave it was brown smooth of its inscription it was then smashed up into small pieces and sent off to be used for building rubble of various kinds and this was filmed and you can see the film on YouTube it was bloatantly covered by the usual newspaper in England and many people said this is only the beginning of the price that he must pay to his victims his life is ruined this will help them in their recovery process et cetera et cetera Now I don't know about you but I regard that kind of thing as not just un-English but as deranged it is the kind of thing you would read about in ancient Egypt when some fear had offended against the ways of his priests and his mummy would ritually tawn from its wooden case and then ripped apart so that his future in the next world would be cut short I remember reading many years ago that in the 1820s some French royalists tore Voltaire's body from the Pantheon in Paris and destroyed it and again I regarded that and the historians who had described this event described it as a somewhat tasteless indeed a deranged act and yet last year in England that is almost exactly what happened with the gravestone of a dead popular entertainer as I said I could go on I could sit a whole morning I could have a whole day with examples of this on the other hand we must accept but just because something is reported in the mass media just because something is covered at great length in the mass media over many months does not mean that the great majority of people in a country agree with it or are going along with it you may have heard of a popular singer from the 1970s called Gary Glifer who was done over again for his taste in young girls now although he is regarded as one of the most evil men in history taking his place beside Hitler, Stalin, Paul Popp etc and although every time there is another paedophile mania in England the police arrest him and question him in connection with something I don't know what the fact remains that Gary Glifer has a large and active fan club in England on the carpet website and his records still sell in decent numbers one of the reasons why the Sun newspaper so hates Gary Glifer is that every time he is arrested every time he is prosecuted every time he is even sent to prison or some trumped up charge he still comes out and gets him for a nice expensive car and drives off his nice expensive house which is paid for by the continuing authorities from his records so the country could be said to have gone mad on the other hand this might be something confined to the media classes and the weak minded but undoubtedly something has gone wrong in England and what is it what has gone wrong again of the question I think one way of looking at it is to take a story a short story written by Rajat Kipting published in 1908 called The Mother High now this is a parable if you read the story it proves rather more than I would like to prove certainly this morning but it is an interesting parable nevertheless it's set in a beehive and the bees decide for whatever reason to throw off the repressive and outmoved hierarchies over the past and in future the work of these can eat the royal jelly and they can be impregnated by the unwilling drones and they also can give birth to young just as the queen has in the past and there will be no hierarchies of any kind in the future all these shall be equal and those bees who disagree with those propositions are at first shunned and then as the consequences of equality become increasingly plain dissidents have their heads nipped off in insect fashion and this continues to the point where the where the royal hatching rooms are filled with the hideously misshapen offspring of workers and where the hive is ruled by demented psychopaths and at last the beekeeper opens up the hive to see what's going on says oh dear this one's gone really bad and he gets out his can of killing spray and that's the end of the hive that's something like that has happened in England England is ruled by American-influent cultural narcissists they run politics they run the administration they run the universities they run the legal system they of course run the media they run everything their hold in England is absolutely hegemonic in America and as I said this is an American import it's very largely American import you can go on about people like Antonio Gramsci and the E. E. Altersair but all of this only came to England because it had been taken up in various American universities the Frankfurt school and the various neo-Marxists have come to England very much in American clothing now in America this mania is kept under control to some extent by a very large religious right and by a written constitution and by the fact that America is still a substantially decentralized place where it's possible for independent minded men to make money and where independently minded men are willing to spend money on causes that they support in America this stuff in America this stuff is kept to some degree under control Americans may disagree and say I'm dreadful in America let me just show this crop of news articles but it's not as bad as in England and the reason it's not as bad in America as in England is that we have no opposition we have no religious right the Reverend Alan Clifford is I suppose our equivalent of the American religious right but religion is just not very popular in England it is not something that ever gets people onto the streets I don't think it even influences voting very much we also have no written constitution whatever parliament says is the law whatever parliament says and the judges agree is certainly the law there is no stand you can take you cannot say you can't take my gun away the constitution says I can have it you can't stop me from publishing my newsletter the constitution says I can publish it you can't say it in England our authorities are absolutely sovereign and supreme now in the past the lefties and they've always been there in England although this is an American import the Americans got it from us in the 17th century so it's all part of the same family of manias in the past these people were kept under control in England by the fact that the government and administration were dominated by an hereditary land owning aristocracy and below them filling the minor administrative roles and dominating the House of Commons you had the gentry which is a junior wing of the aristocracy I don't think it has an equivalent in foreign countries these are wealthy people persons of independent means quite often landowners but non-titles and these were the people who kept the country sane these were the people who preserved the balance of the constitution and during the past hundred years those people have been pushed aside it would be untrue to say that these people no longer exist there is still a large landed aristocracy England many of the richest people in the country are landed aristocrats they own much of London they own much of the soil of England they are deeply involved in business and finance however the tacit deal at least since the second world war and perhaps since the third world war is that these people will be allowed to enjoy their wealth their titles will to some extent be respected in in social matters in return for that however they will not they shall not take any part in politics there are a number of exceptions to that I could think of a number of of landed aristocrats who were involved in the British Conservative and Libertarian movement but these are now all of them very very old sometimes in their 90s and the broad generality of the remaining aristocracy is that it keeps out of politics that is something for the middle class puritans and cultural leftists and so if you want to understand modern England if you want to know what's going on there you know what's going on there you know about the persecution of street creatures you know about the multi-racial frenzies you know about the deification of Stephen Lawrence and the raising of his mother to the House of Lords I'm sure you've heard about those things if you want to join the dogs and to explain what has happened in England the answer lies not exclusively because in something as large as this there are many causes but one of the principal causes of the imbalance in English life and the imbalance of the English constitution has been the destruction of the hereditary element in our natural life the Lords the Dukes, the Markuses the baronets the untitled gentry the people who ruled my country with great success in many centuries have been displaced, they've been moved aside and replaced by middle class cultural leftists and the title of the talk is understanding England and the English it may be interesting for this audience which is mostly foreign to have an answer to that question but it is very important I suggest for the English themselves to have some understanding of what has happened because our misfortune is that we do not know that we have suffered a revolution when the Russians had their revolution they had the stormy winter palace and the murder of a royal family the greatest German revolution history in 1945 was could be regarded as the termination of Germany the country was born flat it was invaded, it was occupied it was parceled up between the conquering with its conquering enemies many of its rulers were put on trial and hanged or locked up you could say that German history came to an end in 1945 or more optimistically you could say that whatever has happened since 1945 is a new chapter in German history but in England we have had no obvious and visible break with the past nevertheless, just as in Russia just as in Germany just as in France and most other European nations we have had a revolution and the country in which we now live is not the country into which those of us over certain age were born and um yes I finished now the if you want to understand England and the English in the 20th and 21st centuries a good place to begin is to look at the decline and fall of the hereditary Landon's glasses with those words on end thank you very much


Once your students take the quiz, you need to grade it. Go to the speed grader from the to-do list, and here's the first quiz that hasn't been graded yet. Canvas tells you which question or questions need to be graded by hand. Select it and evaluate it. This one looks good. I'll give it all three points. Remember to update scores. In addition to essay questions, which you have to grade manually, you should always look at the answers for fill-in-the-blank questions. Let's look at this student's quiz to see why. On question number three, this student gave an answer that is correct. It just wasn't one that I had listed as a possible correct answer. I'll change the score to give him back his point. For all but the simplest questions, you can't realistically enter all the possibilities for a fill-in-the-blank question. That's why you should always double-check student answers and give them the points when necessary. Let's go down to question six, the essay question, and evaluate it. It looks good to me. He gets three points. I do want to leave a comment for him. I can drag this corner here to give myself more text area to type in. And I'll tell the student, you may want to be more specific about your goals. For example, turn in assignments at least a half day early. When the student reviews the quiz, he'll see that comment. And as before, remember to update scores. And that's how you grade quizzes in Canvas.


Hi everyone! I am Milhitsa Terapevska. I am working for International Organization for Migration, IOM, for more than two years now, specifically based in Skopje, North Macedonia. I am working on establishing regional remote interpretation service for languages which are rare for this region and spoken by migrants. When I delivered the trainings on the use of this service to asylum officials, to case workers, they were really amazed how a blind person can navigate through all of this using a screen reader, a computer. The feedback that I got afterwards from the training participants was that they were even more motivated to start using the service. So it's really encouraging that IOM supports people with disabilities and a diverse pool of colleagues to actually make a real impact in their work. Whenever I have a challenge, I know I have very reliable colleagues to count on, plus my determination to actually resolve a problem helps me a lot in my work life.

the health recovery boom I'm right back in the game that's pretty cheap just go on the other side call Yamcha who could forget oh how's it going everybody dotted away here bat with some more Dragon Ball fighters ranked matches this time playing the main team of Krillin Bardock and Yamcha and I am a little bit afraid of this Vigito player considering he has is a Vigito icon and his name is Vigito to God I'm already countered by everyday Vigitos but super fans of Vigito in this game that that's just a different matchup entirely for me oh but we already got a hit on him Bardock get him down in the corner with sliding oh there he goes dude that grab terrified me I wasn't even in the air and I flinched in real life to Vigito is just that scary of a character does he jump he does lock him down with Bardock a little bit of that going in oh he tried ticking me oh my goodness all right we were over this should be the end of them for now let's see if we can't take him out of the game with just two bars I'm gonna try it yes two bars will be more than enough and we get the danger character out of the way or at least I hope that's the danger character we might have gotten mixed no we should be good Yamcha thank you with the assist always looking out that's why he's the main hold on after image on the ground let me get the hard knockdown yeah getting an overhead and then going into that after image very strong tool for Krillin oh we could have done a lot with that but we're gonna have to back off freeze up oh that was nice I'm getting zoned once again though dude you know what let me just switch out to the other point character that is one of the strengths of this team well not that the ability to have two different characters that I think are equal in strength in in terms of being on point while both having really devastating assist so Bardock and Krillin really you have so much like flexibility I'm getting hit by this yeah I deserve that I deserve that you know what let me take a quick lunch break my lunch don't eat that and he stole it right out of the fridge had my name on it and everything up Frieza this is the worst thing Frieza has ever done to the saints again maybe I'm going a little far with that don't take my lunch again I'm going to be upset he we just have personal problems now alright why is Frieza the danger character no dragon rushes allowed are he's gonna try zoning let me hit him with one of my own let me hit him with one of those I'm terrified dude I am terrified this Frieza has had me locked out for too long I just want to get in I just want to start playing oh no yoncha give me the dragon rush that's a huge pace met a setter pacemaker I guess I don't know you know what let's go let's go to Bardock kind of wish we were on the space stage to see if we can get a dramatic finish but this is gonna have to do for now you're the one who's gonna die what's the mix I made it look like I was gonna run up low that's when I had to hit him with that instant air dash the most inside I took the shortcut on that one whatever you want those really quick instant air dashes just make sure you do the shortcut like that that was crazy nice clash I'll be over here if you need me dead okay that was sick I'm glad the game by the way because because of the buffs in season 3.5 that's why Android 17 is able to do those moves in the air now whoa where are you rolling to the beam catches all Krillin very strong post vanish I'm getting all the way into the corner rock okay that scared me okay I'm very scared I'm not sure what all the theatrics are for at the end of the day a raw Super Dash was what got me no 2s down to assist hold them down whoo they just that okay nice oh I'm so bad just to wait just meant okay I'm up is the option help me all right good all right if you couldn't tell I was really getting ready to throw that game away but we will take a strong game one hopefully Vegeta doesn't you know come back with a vengeance but yeah I mean so far the worst thing that happened was we lost a lot of our lunches I think every single one of our beans was collected by Frieza whoo and I'm beating about yo let me get some revenge Frieza just could not get out of my he hit both of my characters this is a very different Vegeta oh not don't set me out that would be so job okay oh no combo though that could have been a that could have been a bounce back moment but we'll get one right here do we level three you know I'm actually gonna say yes we got an extra bar for any defensive needs plus we kind of want to go for an early kill because again I am very afraid of this Vegeta no nice vanished the reaction time was good rock assist didn't get me what I needed two bars can't be killed yeah especially with the vanish but we are going to end up back in the corner Frieza my Frieza I'll take it I'll take it get Krillin out here we're gonna finish this up by bringing Vegeta back in that's right snap might be dead but if Vegeta wasn't dead did I just I'm an idiot I snapped in the wrong character you know what I wanted Android 17 I got beef with this guy he was scaring me all last round hold on this is exactly who I want oh the vanish was unexpected caught up in the air how long did you expect to get away with the gymnastics run the rocks all right I'm in a level three I'm terrified get me out of here let's go that was sick hold on the run-up aerial attack I love to see it all right hold on yeah we don't have enough bar to actually kill here so I dropped it didn't use the right after image 2h snap even with the shorter limbs Krillin can still get some 2h's in here all this corner is not where I want to be no key blast the loud the rocks stand no chance against the comment yeah alright this time we can actually kill with two bars I if I just would stop dropping that that would be great all that could have been a 2h as well I got me no the grab all right I actually think you know looking at it now with a clear head we have a lot of we have a big health lead we're gonna run the rocks again I'm looking out for the counter no counter all right that's Vigino down Krillin doesn't even have to leave oh I love these games with the main team because I feel like I could just play fighters play a really solid game of fighter oh focus on the fundamentals all right we're gonna solar flare here when he jumps in because he will jump in that was sick it has too big of a hitbox I don't want to see where you land all right that's how we just kind of that's how we just kind of hit him on me there was no mix I just jabbed all right freeza as well he's probably going to try to never mind he went in I thought he was gonna zone fine block the mix block the mix don't get scared hit him with the beam I should have been able to wrap it up that ball got me I was trying to wrap it up with a vanish but just did not hit it you know what let me get some payback for stealing my lunch okay this is not looking good for me oh my goodness yeah keep doing keep doing that see what happens punch this man do it you know nope Bardock privilege I wish that had armor like some key blast I actually don't because that would make Bardock a little bit better and I don't think the world needs that right now but it would be sick all right vanish that yeah you got a block yonks in the corner that was a difficult task for anybody but we get the first set under our belt with the mains and now we get to move on to another game great games to that opponent I I don't know why but I was terrified that whole set let's move on to the next one see who else we can find while we ran into another really unique team a hit player I'm actually really excited we're going up against a hit player he's also running Goku black and piccolo but he did such an interesting character I go up against the hit a decent bit just because C-reacts or Deon plays him and I play him a lot my hit is just a very good character in my opinion he's solid he's not a character that I would play a lot but I'd be lying if I said I have no interest in playing him just because of how cool he is hey let me get that too many reflects a reflect that day a reflect that day does not keep the Krillin away if I only I could have said that without stuttering it would have been great but a beam is even better are we gonna get the third bar of course we are Krillin post vanishes busted I still might not be enough to kill though which is fine I'm okay with buying more time off the sparking and getting bar docking besides we're gonna make a read I messed up to read I messed up to read I deserve whatever's coming to me hey not even that bad rock assist got taken out pretty quickly I'm not gonna lie but whatever we got to kill with the object the rock assist just got sniped I what's the what's the beginning round pickle oh pickle is another really buff character but unfortunately demon elbow is not enough to get away from the mix the fact that you can just mash with bar dock is crazy basic but it works all right reflect I'll respect it oh demon elbow that time I was not ready to mash whoa I see you oh not that orb man that orb is tricky I definitely wanted to press my attack oh my dead I'm not dead am I oh my goodness if that worked I was upset he just tried a special beam came in me wrong what was that yo pickle don't act like I didn't see that alright switch back out into a different point character like we were talking about before we'll just take a destructive disc he just tried to hit me with the raw special beam wow if he would have hit landed that I would have been tight I would have been upset I hit here's the main course mix them up you gotta go low I got a bit of a time skip myself it's called after image maybe you know it's not the best time skip but it's a mix up all right on the ground hi it's a high we take them out to touch and that was two touches right I don't know very basic to touch but super strong regardless we will take game one whoo I dude this is why just playing the main team from time to time is just so fun because it's just you're so familiar with it all right do we get the rematch I'm expecting yet I'm expecting a lot of adaptation this time especially from piccolo I think he's gonna I think this player is gonna see that I've reacted so poorly to that orb and they're just gonna hit me with it a lot more if we get the rematch this is a long time okay who I think I just got iced or you know the pizza ride you got to go into the door I cannot it's it could be a lot of factors all right those orbs are coming we blocked which made the orb go away that was my one saving grace my bardock who normal attack I can respect it six and we block those the orb pressure no why I was not ready for that all right in the corner don't level three me appreciate it okay I was gonna say you didn't open up I should have done something with the rock assist before that oh come on oh my assist wasn't up yeah that's I'm I knew something I didn't know what exactly he was gonna hit me with but I knew it was going to be like an opening there so I wanted to did I just drop that okay I didn't whoo thought I was gonna have to spend an extra bar I'm glad I matched there though I didn't expect dragon rush but I did expect like a 6m or something even slicer that part about piccolo is he can attack in any time that's crazy all right down on my luck we love to see it hi low I actually could use a sense you being right about now so I'm going to do a little oh I messed up what that doesn't matter since you be look at the health recovery boom I'm right back in the game that's pretty cheap just go on the other side call you option who could forget oh would you look at this I did I that's questionable maybe I don't know what that was I don't know what that was that seemed like a rage quit but I don't think so I don't know but you get banned for rage quitting now is it worth it I don't think that would be worth it that can't be a rage quit okay we are back for a third time the rare the rare triple run back but we have returned Bardock assist yeah we're gonna I am throwing all my assist out the window now it has been a fun session of fighters I can't I still am up in the air about whether or not that was a rage quit you guys can let me know it it could have been a disconnect I honestly have no idea but it did look a little suspicious but I've had that happen to me too I've definitely gotten combo before my game just like blue screen I guess that was back on PS4 though I don't know what blue screening looks like on PS5 now that you know what that's a topic for a different time let me go wow that looked really smooth for some reason that it looked like Krillin micro dash and then jab I wasn't even trying to do all of that overhead walk that oh I was just too out of range sick I know what it's like that's stubby normals I've I've definitely felt that pain before unfortunately though I'm going to go ahead and cash out here hope you don't mind me doing that you're the one who's gonna die yeah I'm gonna take this damage I wonder if there was a cheaper way to do that I definitely didn't optimize that very well but we'll go ahead and take a character while we have it now it's going to be Bardock up against Bardock you know he read the Bardock handbook he knows how we got to start really come on man it's on the first page if you're in a Bardock mere match you got to do the double area it's just respect all right no assist to continue this oh that didn't even combo I got to do light oh keep last rocks oh I didn't combo off of that's fine we do get the the hit afterwards dang I really wish I would have combed off of that a well-timed larry there would have been nice jumping larry I want to punish those super dashes all right rocks that is so sick the rock assist is so good at controlling that neutral I don't want to spend three bars to be honest defense you know what I'm gonna go ahead and say that was questionable I know I'm the one that benefit in front of it but I'm gonna go ahead and say that that was questionable I'm not gonna look at it the I though sparking read let's go you had to know I was coming for the sparking read I had to spend one of my own to get it but that is fine with me triple destructo I only got to but this I love doing those reads all right now oh dude I the confidence is at an all-time high heading into this last batch I am a fly hot not even fake confidence this is real confidence right now all confidants let's go all right let's go see if I can't get near there no no Joe wow that was nice oh larry to keep me in check six emmer dragon rush really nothing either oh I wasn't expecting that was not expecting that blue VG does assist back up to be honest I don't know what assist he's rocking I've been loosely paying attention to blue VG does assist I feel like he was mainly on point see assist oh also see us nope be assisted I'm not a big I just unlocked blue VG to so what do I know right I just unlock blue VG I should play him to celebrate oh the after image is still so sick you gotta respect it I don't think this kills let's just save the bar gotta let him out what an air-to-air nice I really do want to get Bardock back out though so we're wasting a lot of good time right now caught my Super Dash with a Super Dash of his own yeah the time to get Bardock back in is kind of left unfortunately now with the auto combo now we got a bit of comeback work to do oh no I don't know if I can get what happened on my comment it just drained so quickly I was flying high before now it's not even the same I'm just getting hit by this Vegeta blue alright let me bounce back up there we go oh no it's gonna come down to Bardock I mean Yamcha I can't believe how poorly we played right there didn't get the combo ran up and got sweet okay it's not over yet we still have we still have anchor Yamcha he is the anchor of the team six bars I'm just jumping into hits seven bars I don't even think we can go for Shenron it's going for Shenron with two dragon balls would be crazy I meant to spark but I'll take it yeah we're gonna go ahead and say I meant to do that one even though I did not alright it started with a drag okay that's fine kill we gotta get the kill we'll save sparking for when he I get Super Dash that cuz we know he's probably going to Super Dash at me at some point in this upcoming fight between Bardock and Yamcha that's when we'll that's when we'll spark and hopefully we won't get Super Dash then there we go we're gonna spark now yes it put us right behind him he came with the lights can we make this a two bar I probably might have been a two bar I well we still got the kill so I can't be upset I didn't trust it though I did not trust that at all let's go oh please nice I think we definitely do level three here and then read the sparking is going for another sparking read too much to ask for we gotta trust that I'm reading the spark I am committing to the sparking read oh no oh no it's punishing get that to age that's it yes vanish does kill through the regeneration we're going to take it to oh even though it was spotty wow and that is going to bring us to the end of a really long video or at least I think that was a long video I don't know it felt like we played so many games but we are making quite substantial gains in the rank race to rank up hopefully you all enjoyed that

Now not every workout will go this way, but I do like to use an interval timer. If you need one, I made one, mastering.fitness-timer. And before we do that, you know, we've generally got a warm-up. Don't have to necessarily, depending on the type of workout you're doing, but for something like this, the work periods are going to be pretty intense.  As far as what to do for your warm-up, I've got a blog post about that that goes into more detail. But essentially, you want to restore any mobility that you might need. That might be some directed specific mobility exercise or even a stretch if you need them. And then you're just going to take your body through every motion that it's going to need for the workout. Finishing off with, as you see, a little sweating. It's worth pointing out that we used no equipment for the warm-up. And you'll see this first block is eight rounds of 10-second sprints with 50 seconds of rest, and I'm just running in place. I call them high knees because we're trying to bring my knees up to about hip level. We don't always get there. Be careful, Lance. Tie those shoes. So something like this can get pretty boring if you are the type of person that really seeks that novelty. But honestly, I would consider that a weakness. Like I want to be able to be bored, especially with social media and the stimulus that we have everywhere. It's good to take your exercise and not only turn it into a physical workout, but also a mental workout. So not every workout is like this, but this one in particular has this oscillation. So we have a lot of these repeated high-intensity sprints that you already saw, and then we do some core work for a few minutes as a way to do some active recovery, challenging the core, building some central body endurance, but also allowing your heart rate to come back down and your muscles to recover from the sprints so that we can do some more of them. All right, I've talked about minimal equipment, and here is the thing that just does everything for me. This is called an adjustable dumbbell. This specific brand is PowerBlock. Elite EXP. EXP means it's expandable up to 90 pounds. So each dumbbell, I've got two of them, each dumbbell can be up to 90 pounds. This is the only thing you need in a gym, in your home gym, to be effective and fit. These dumbbells have some drawbacks, as might be apparent to some of you. If you're pretty strong, I guess like I am, you can outgrow those two 90s pretty quickly. So if I'm doing deadlifts with dumbbells, I'm stuck with 180 pounds, which is really not very close to the, you know, 510 that I've done before.  I do like them. I'll add a link in the description to an Amazon affiliate link. I bought mine on Amazon, and if you decide to purchase them, I get a little bit of kickback with no additional cost to you. So if you do that, thank you. You'll see a lot of these core exercises are centered around proper diaphragmatic breathing. If you can get a good diaphragmatic breath, that's not a belly breath, where only the belly expands. What we're looking for is full expansion from the belly and the chest, even into the back, as you might have seen in the warmup. And what that does is it promotes mobility. It reduces the tension that your brain sends down to your muscles, relieving the joints of any restriction and allowing them to execute their full movement excursion. I should mention I put a thin band in there in this workout as well. It's a nice addition.  I would recommend them, but you don't even need them. You can just hold the arm diagonal in the same position just without the resistance for this exercise. All right, that's it. I hope this video showed you that you don't really need hardly any equipment. I really think you don't need any. It just gets kind of boring. You get more variety out of having some stuff. So it's time to clean up. If you enjoyed what you saw, leave a comment starting with okay or not okay. I want to know if you're okay with this amount of equipment for your workouts or if you're not okay and you need a lot more stuff. Feel free to ask any questions. I will do my best to answer absolutely everything that I can and take care.


super simple exercise that is going to help you create the stability in your trunk. So if I'm looking at my horse's ears and if I'm slouchy in my body, can you notice how my hip doesn't function nearly as well? Now, if I look up and I'm looking where my horse is going, can you see how my hip starts to open and close and follow my horse's movement? So we're going to practice raising our hand above our head, creating that trunk stability and then getting our focus to come up.


Bonjour et bienvenue, this is La Modelliste and welcome back again to my channel. In today's tutorial, I will guide you through the sewing process of the honeymoon dress pattern we created last week. Throughout this tutorial, I will explore a range of sewing techniques that are not only vital for this project but also valuable for your future sewing endeavors. So let's get started and begin with the skirt assembly. First, I am going to cut the front circle skirt on my fabric on fold and on bias. And as you can see, I've notched the placements of the inseam pockets at the side seams.  And cut the elastic or garter casing on fold and on the bias part of the fabric as well. And next, face the casing and the back skirt together, right side to right side and pin in place. By the way, I have sewn the casing and the back skirt together by toys of an inch or 0.6 cm. Since both pieces are cut on bias, best use the smallest stitch line and avoid pulling the fabric as it will stretch. Next, I will use my compensating presser foot, push all of the seams towards the casing side and topstitch the casing onto the skirt by 1mm. And this is how the back skirt should look like. And this is where we are going to place the elastic or garter. Next, I'm going to topstitch the edge of the waistline by 1mm. And topstitch the casing onto the skirt by 0.68 inch or 0.2 cm from the waist. And now, we've completed the casing for the back skirt. For the garter, I've used the measurement of the original back waist minus 4 or 10 cm. Next, using my bodkin tool, I will insert the garter inside the casing and pin the garter from end to end. And next, I will sew or tack at each side seam so that the garter will stay in place. I've tacked the garter by 0.48 inch or 1.3 cm from the edge of the side seams. And I will topstitch the garter onto the casing by 0.48 inch or 1.3 cm from the edge of the waist. Next, I'm going to cut the pouches for the inseam pockets. I'll simply place one of the pouches at the side seam of the front skirt, matching the notches. And pin everything in place. And do it on the other side seam as well. By the way, I have a separate tutorial for inseam pockets and I'll put the link up here in case you want to check it out. Next, I'm going to gather the front waist of the front skirt. The gathers will depend with the weave of pattern number 4. Using this gathering presser foot, I will gather the front waist by 0.28 inch or 0.6 cm from the edge of the waist. And this is how the waist of the front skirt looks like. Next, I'm going to cut patterns number 1, 2, 3 times 4 on my fabric. This is for the self and for the lining. And cut the same patterns times 2 for the fusible interfacing. And fuse the interfacing to the self. For pattern number 4, cut it as well times 4 on the main fabric and times 2 for the fusible interfacing. And cut the back pattern piece times 4 for the self and lining. For patterns number 1, I am going to attach here this trap at the angle. To place this trap, I'm going to mark in the sewing allowance that I've used for this pattern, which is 2.8 of an inch or 0.6 cm and I'll mark it from the armhole side. And I'll place the strap just right beside the pencil mark of the sewing allowance and pin the straps in place. Next, I will pin the lining pieces on top, facing right side to right side with the self pieces and pin everything in place sandwiching the straps inside. And I'll sew the top areas by 2.8 of an inch or 0.6 cm. Careful not to hit the strap and move it if it's necessary and fill it while sewing. Next, I'm going to sand the seams at the lining side and topstitch the lining by 1mm and stop before reaching where the strap is placed. And do the same thing on the other side. And press the pieces for a clean finish. Next, sew the opening at the bottom by 1.8 of an inch or 0.3 cm to close it. Next, I'm going to place patterns number 2 to patterns number 3 facing them right side to right side together and pin everything in place. And I'm going to sew the pieces according to my sewing allowance. And press the seams open for a clean finish. And I'll also sew the lining pieces together. And these are the self and lining pieces. Next, I'm going to place the assembled piece facing right side to right side, matching the notch with the same line. And pin in place in preparation for sewing. And sew everything in place. And next, I will place the lining pieces facing right side to right side with the self sandwiching pattern number 1 inside. And pin the lining to the self. And don't forget to match the seam lines. And sew according to your sewing allowance. And give it a press for a clean finish. Next, I'm going to attach pattern number 4 to the self, matching the notches with the seam line. Face everything right side to right side and pin in place. And I'm going to sew everything according to my sewing allowance. And now, the top is semi-assembled. I also did the same sewing procedure for the lining. Next, I'm going to place the pieces right side to right side together. And attach the pieces at the center front. And this is how it looks like with both pieces attached together at the center front. First, I'm going to mark in 4.7 inch or 1.3 centimeters for my sewing allowance. And next, I'm going to mark in 5.8 inch or 1.6 centimeters each side. And this will serve as a channeling or opening for the strap. And next, I'm going to sew the lining and the self pieces together by 4.7 inch or 1.3 centimeters from the curved edge. And we need to press the seams open. After pressing the seams, face the pieces together wrong side to wrong side and pin in place. You can either begin or finish sewing right exactly at the marks and avoid sewing beyond as these marks will serve as the openings for the straps. And turn the back piece inside out. And give it a press. And this is how the back piece looks like. And these are the channels for the strap. Next, topstitch 5.8 of an inch or 1.6 centimeters from the curved edge. And topstitch by 2.8 of an inch or 0.6 centimeter each side. You can either begin or finish sewing right exactly at the 5.8 inch topstitch. But don't go beyond. Next, I'm going to place in the bias loops at the notches and place in the back pattern piece right exactly at pattern number 3. Face the back piece right side to right side with pattern number 3 and pin in place. And sew the back pieces and loops in place. Next, face the lining right side to right side with the self, sandwiching the back pieces and the loops. Match the under bust seams, pin in place, and sew the seams according to your sewing allowance. Turn it inside out and insert the straps into the channels. Next, let's attach the front circle skirt and the top together. But before that, on both side seams of the front skirt, mark in the sewing allowance. And place the top right exactly at the marks on each side seam and pin in place. And sew at the waist according to your sewing allowance. Next, I chose the right side seam where I will sew in the zipper. And sew in the zipper by 4.7 inch or 1.3 centimeters. Also, carefully sew the zipper and always try to open the pocket so that it won't be sewn in with the zipper. Next, sew the other side of the zipper at the back circle skirt. And lastly, I'll sew in the second tier at the hem of the circle skirt. By the way, I also have a tutorial for half-circled tiered skirt and better check it out on my channel. Et voila! So, this is my friend rocking her honeymoon dress and I am so happy she loved it and she worried in one of their date nights during their honeymoon. Anyway guys, I hope this tutorial gave you enough tips on how to create your own honeymoon dress.

Now you see, the initial thing we require from all the claimants is a simple statement in three parts. What can you do under what circumstances with what accuracy? And that could be dousing, that could be flying by clapping the arms or whatever the claim may be. But under what circumstances with what accuracy? These are very important. That means that the claimant designed the protocol. All we have to do is organize it and set it out in a certain number of steps that the claimant also agrees with.  Walk us through what the next final challenge would be like. The next test would be essentially the same, but perhaps with somewhat different security depending on how the performance went. The first time on that same protocol. Or it could be that it would change completely. We've never had to deal with that problem, so we would have to design it as it comes along, I think. I think what we would do is take a look at the test, analyze it, see if there were any weaknesses there. I should strengthen it and make it a little bit more secure. And secure for both sides. Are you glad that the skeptical community is offering a price? Is there any recommendation of how you think it could be better? Because if there are these powers, we want to know about them. Well, I think Genni Randi has been well aware all the time. And I think it's easy. It's easy if you agree with the protocol. Well, it has taken some time, but it's okay. And I don't have some comments about that, because I think it's fair and easy to confirm. Connie, what your friend just said was that you were allowed to suggest an initial protocol and then it was modified. How close to your initial suggestion of a protocol was the actual challenge? Very close. The original, actually, in her application, which you guys can see in your packets, the statement after the claim said that she was able to identify letters written on tiles made out of cardboard, turned upside down on a table. So this was very close. Yes? I have a question. There's actually, for me personally, there was no fear of that. The protocol was so secure that the tester can't actually alter what happens. I've never given the level of access that would have been needed. I'm talking completely about perception. Perception. I think that would be my response to anyone who believed that. He never had the option. I think you have that perception on both sides. You can go either way. I think one, you can say, well, maybe you would do something to Hal Kahn. And then there's my background. You may look and say, well, if something was going on, Banachek might be one that I should be able to see if he's sitting right up there, because this is what I do for a living every day. So that perception can go both ways. The bottom line, there's a million dollars on the line. So I think if you're going to look and go, which way I'm going to go, you'd rather have somebody up there that, you know, could detect the trickery, rather than worry so much about the perception of somebody saying, hey, he can be helping, he can be cheating. The other thing is, it works both ways. I walked up to Randy at the very beginning and I said, Randy, I said, you know, I just want to make sure. And it was a question I had to ask, because when I worked with a scientist, they never did ask, we were magicians. And I said, Randy, this isn't like a publicity stunt. I just, I don't believe that it is, but I'm going to ask you that question. It's not to get to the first stage. And he said, no, no, no, of course it's not. And I took it to his word at that point. But it is a question I had to put out there. And I had to put it out that I wasn't being, like, Randy Ponged or something like that. I mean, I was not allowed to speak to him. I had no clue. And the other thing is it was a little scary for me, because I can think of multiple ways that somebody, if they wanted to cheat, could cheat. And so as a result, I was not allowed to exam on the cards. I was not allowed to look at those. And that was something I worried about.  But you just never know, you know, you never really know. And so it worked both ways for me. As a result, they had a very good double-line tip, you know, set. And that bothered me, but I knew that I had to be put in that position. I have a ghost always in the back of my head, but one of these things is going to take place. I think of all the possibilities, because there are so many possibilities. We magicians know what the possibilities are, and we just sit in trouble just to weave in. I wonder if we've got a rare coming in here who is actually a cousin of somebody, whatever, who has a method. I could have figured, well, we both could. Yeah, no, I already had like three ways in my head where Randy wanted to go with somebody else, or Allison, or something like that. Allison, you know, you just never know. No, thanks, Al. But you never know, and I could think of multiple ways that they could have accomplished if they were working with clients. So you think about this. So I would think that if it hadn't been a success, well, when you go into the official testing, I probably would not be the tester at that point. That equation would be taken out at that point. That very fact is a reason for the two parts, the preliminary and then the formal test, because as Steve mentioned very early on in this discussion, the preliminary test, the odds are relatively easy to be one in one thousand. And we take a great deal of care, but we tend to assume that this is not a clever wizard from across the ocean who has been trained by mystical forces and whatnot. Government agencies are going to win that million dollars we need to buy something, to blow something up with the United States. We don't think that way. We automatically make the assumption, the basic assumption, this is the honest person who believes that he or she has the powers. And that's a safe enough assumption very, very, very probably true. But that occurs when you have the second stage and that's how you see it going. Man check this little screen, but we actually have spare tests, and if you would like to actually go through the test the same way that Connie did, you're welcome to. Um... For how you like it. Jamie? Okay, thanks. No, you know the bottom line is I wouldn't do it as much as I would love to simply because I feel that we're making a mockery of the system and to be quite honest with you, it shouldn't be a mid-mockery. This is very serious to me. Honey came here, she was very serious about it. I think we need to deal with the same aspect of being just as serious and hopefully that's exactly how we're going to cross in what we did because that was my intent the entire time. So, you know, we joke about maybe going after that prize money. It wouldn't be fun just as a fun thing to try to do it, but I think it would make it more great.


Creating Infographics Using Canva A good infographic can help to simplify complex information in a concise and visually appealing manner. They are an intersection of data, text, and message, combined into one artistic representation. They are an excellent method of storytelling. It can be daunting to set out to create an infographic from scratch, but there are resources out there to help make this task simple. In this video, we will dive into Canva as an infographic creation tool with step-by-step instructions. You will find it easier to get started if you have developed your visual plan, have some design tips in mind, and have collected your images and icons ahead of time. Canva is a freemium tool, which means it includes both free-to-use and paid-to-use content. Using Canva for free means you will be limited to using the platform's free graphics, templates, and features. To begin creating in Canva, you need to first log into your account. Go to www.canva.com and press log in if you already have an account. If not, you will need to create one. To do this, click the sign up button. Now that you have access to the site, it's time to begin creating. You will first need to decide whether you want to start your project from scratch or if you would like to use a pre-populated template. Both options have their benefits and drawbacks. Although a blank canvas can seem daunting, it can also open up more possibilities. Starting from scratch allows you to choose the size and orientation of your infographic. It has the most control over your infographic's design, and you are able to build an infographic that will be unique and completely of your own design. Working off a template does not mean half your work is done. Instead, it should set you on a trajectory that you explore through modifying and customizing the base template. Working with a template can provide you with some visualization examples and inspiration. It will not allow you to resize your infographic, and will also run you the risk of submitting an infographic that looks similar to your classmates. Dedicate some time to carefully choosing your template as it is hard to switch between templates once you have started building. If you are starting from scratch, tap the Custom Size button on the homepage. Choose the unit of measurement that you wish to work with, and then define the size of your infographic. It may take a couple of tries before you find the perfect size. We recommend anywhere from 600 to 1200 pixels wide and 2000 to 5000 pixels long. If you are working with a template, on the homepage, tap Create a Design, and then Locate and tap on Infographic. Browse through the various templates and their respective categories. If you find a category that applies to your project, tap the See All button to see similar designs. Make sure the template you choose is labeled as free. Pay to use content can be identified by a crown icon beside the resource or feature of the site. For example, resizing your infographic template is a feature that is only included with Canva Pro. If you are not sure whether a picture, graphic, or template is free to use, bring it to your infographic, and then tap on the Download button. If you have used any paid content, you will see a cost to download your project. Some templates may not have a paid resource crown, but may still have paid for images embedded within the design. Once you have established whether you'll be creating from scratch or from a template, it is time to begin building and stylizing your infographic. Thinking about your infographic style early in the project can help ensure your design remains consistent. Remember your infographic is meant to communicate a message, and the design of your infographic should not hinder it from doing so. Selecting or modifying a background is generally one of the first steps one takes when crafting their infographic. Look for the Background button on the left-hand side of the screen. If you do not see it there, check the More button that is usually found at the bottom of the menu. Here you can decide if you want a solid color, a pattern, or an image as a background. To insert any text, tap on the Text button on the left-hand side. From here, you will be able to add heading, subheading, and body text by tapping on the corresponding buttons. You can also choose from several pre-created word art templates to add a bit of emphasis and excitement to your infographic. To help your design stay consistent, Canva has a wide range of font styles. Navigate to the Styles tab by clicking More, then Styles. Here you will find some prepared styles to apply to your infographic. These include a heading and a subheading font, as well as a color palette. You can browse these and select the style that works best for you. Alternatively, you can click on Colors and Fonts to create your own color palette and font style. These methods will apply to all the text on your infographic. But if you want to edit a specific text entry, you can click on the Text Entry block and use the Edit menu that appears above your infographic to edit the specific text size, color, alignment, font, and more. You can change your color palette or font style at any point of your build, so do not be afraid to experiment. The media possibilities on Canva are almost endless. You can use photos, videos, audio, graphics, charts, graphs, or tables. It can at times be difficult to find the perfect free picture or resource for your infographic. If you're not able to find something within Canva, an alternative is to find Creative Commons resources online. Canva accepts both PNG and JPEG image files. To upload an image or graphic to Canva, tap Uploads, then Upload Media. Now locate the media you wish to upload on your computer. Do not forget to cite any content that is not yours. To add elements directly from Canva, tap on the Elements button to add lines, shapes, graphics, photos, and more. Use the Search feature to help narrow down your options. Once you find a resource that you would like to use, click on the resource to import it into your infographic. If you want to visualize any data, find the format you would like to use, such as a chart or graph, then you'll be able to input the appropriate numbers or information. Just like in any academic paper, citing your resources is very important. If you used any external sources or images, you will need to cite these. Leave a bit of space at the bottom of your infographic for your citations. Unless instructed differently, you can provide an abbreviated citation that credits the person who made the resource and where you found it. Play around with the layout and design of your infographic until you have something that you're happy with. Once you have completed your infographic and have carefully reviewed it, it is time to download it from Canva. Tap the Download button. Here you will be given the choice of what format to export your infographic. For most academic assignments, we recommend exporting as a PDF print. Alternatively, you can also choose to export as a JPEG or PNG file. Once you have selected your file format, tap Download. Congratulations! You're done! Double-check that your infographic looks right in its final form and that your citations and image credits are all there. Then, share your completed infographic with the world.


You know, every time I've come into one of these conferences, I've always had kind of something on my heart and it's amazing to me how at each one of those conferences, Jesus has addressed whatever that was that was on my heart. Really provides an opportunity for us to be renewed in our relationship with the Lord and to really be given the power and the tools and the strength that we need to go forward into the world and be his disciples.  If you're looking for something that would jumpstart your faith or transform your heart or give you a fresh start in your following of God and living as a disciple, I can't recommend a better weekend than the Power of Purpose Conference. To be welcomed into this environment and to see the Holy Spirit as active as he is here is just amazing. You're going to find that the life that is really shared in this conference, ah, it really does refresh and it really does restore and it helps to bring back that love and that joy that comes from our vocation. For some people, this is just a huge retreat. Just get away and remind yourself, why am I a shepherd? How can I best serve my sheep and renew the first love inside of you? It's just, yeah, this is why I became a priest. I attended my first St. John Bosco Conference in 2008 and there I encountered people who not only knew about Jesus but who actually knew Jesus. When it comes to evangelization and catechesis, the St. John Bosco Conference is one of the greatest gifts that the church has that Francis King University has to, for us as leaders, to put ourselves in a position of possibility for God to move. All the speakers, they're so easy to understand. You know, they're all so impressive, but anybody can come. You don't have to have a degree in theology to come and learn and enjoy. The thing that really blows me away is when they point out the connections in the Bible that I've just totally missed. You know, the connections between the Old Testament and the New Testament and things that I might have read and just not seen. And there's always so many of those things. The best part of the Defending the Faith Conference is being with other people of faith, people that share your values, your views, and equipping each other to be able to move out into the world. I feel like I just have learned a lot about the Catholic faith and I feel more confident in answering questions and just feel more confident and able to say probably that I'm a Catholic.


module 26 static and dynamic aspects of demand in agricultural economics whenever we make discussion about demand for agricultural products, static demand and dynamic demand play an important role. In fact, when we talk about the demand of agricultural commodities, if our movement with reference to demand for agricultural commodities is along the curve then it is basically understanding of the demand under static site. In fact, static aspects of the demand refers to instantaneous adjustment in demand because of change in price of the commodity. So this change in quantity demand that we observe immediately because of change in price it is called as static aspects of the demand. Under static aspects of the demand, other things that can affect the demand remains constant. If we talk about any consumer whose demand for wheat there are certain factors that play some important role among those factors price of substitute, price of compliment and income of the consumer has also some role in the determination of the demand. But under static aspects we keep all these factors constant there is no there is no change in income, no change in price of compliment, no change in price of substitute only there is change in demand because of change in price of that particular commodity. But when we make discussion about the dynamic aspects it refers to change in demand that is associated with factors other than the price of that particular commodity. It involves a longer time period it might be possible because of there is some change in factors other than price and because of that change in factors other than price of the commodity there is some change in demand. It requires a long it requires relatively a longer time period and at the same time because of change in these factors there is also some change in association between price and quantity demand for that particular commodity. So under dynamic side we will consider the time horizon in the determination of demand for that particular commodity. In that horizon consumer's income will change it might be possible there is some change in price of compliment, and because of all these changes there is some change in association between price and quantity demand. In fact when demand shifts from one position to another position it is called as change in demand and it associates with dynamic side of the demand. Whenever we make discussion about change in demand there are certain factors that causes change in demand among those factors demographic factors play some role. Demographic factors relates with the usually describe the population characteristics of the population. So in the determination of the demand all these factors play some role. It might be possible if there is increase in young people over a period of time after a certain time period pose in a particular country is increasing because of that increase in young people there is some change in the demand pattern of the demand of a commodity in the market. Then in the same way there are some economic factors that change the demand. Economic factors will include consumer's income, price of substitutes, price of compliment. For example if I talk in the reference of wheat it might be possible in a particular region people are meeting their demand for food by using wheat and rice. I can assume that people are meeting their food requirements while using the combination of wheat and rice. If I consider that wheat and rice are complement then what will happen is that if the price of wheat increases then at the same time it might be possible there is decrease in consumption of rice. So prices of substitutes and price of compliment has some role in the determination of the demand for food. So if I consider that wheat and rice are substitutes then what will happen is that if the price of wheat increases then what will the consumer do? It might be possible that the consumer increases the use of rice to meet its food requirement. So the demand has some role in the determination of the demand for that particular commodity. Then in the same pattern if we talk about the taste and preferences of the consumer if there is some change in taste and preferences of the consumer again there is change in demand, there is a shift in demand curve from one position to another position. Now to understand all these concepts if we assume a demand equation, why is there a equation here? Q is equal to gamma minus alpha p plus beta i. You have Greek notations, what is the first notation? Gamma. The notation with p is called alpha and with income which we denote with i what carries particular equation? The letter attached to it is called beta and what are these? These are the parameters of any demand equation. And what is this? It basically depicts an association that what is the association between demand and price and income of a commodity. If we assume that if this is demand function for beef, if price of beef increases there is a decrease in demand for beef. But at the same time if I assume that beef is a normal commodity, you will remember when we discussed consumer behavior in consumer theory that it might be possible a commodity under consideration is a normal commodity. A commodity under consideration is an inferior commodity. Then depending upon the nature of the commodity, if income increases for normal commodity there is increase in demand for that particular commodity. This equation basically reports me that demand for beef and income are positively associated. So in this case what is beef? We consider beef is a normal commodity. If there is increase or decrease in demand and there is no change in the association among variables, the values of gamma, alpha and beta remains constant then what we will say is that this is basically association between the variables at a particular point in time. But when we talk about dynamic aspects then this association between price and quantity demand will change. And when association between price and quantity demand change, value of estimated value of alpha will change. It might be possible that instantaneous adjustment because of increase in price is something like this. If price of beef is increased by 100 rupees, it might be possible demand for beef decreased by 2 kg. But over a longer period of time, what we assumed at this particular moment is that if price increases by 100 rupees, demand for beef will decrease by 2 kg. But under dynamic side it might be possible there is a change in association between these two variables. First we talked about 2 kg change. It might be possible that there is a change in 3 kg because of increase in price of beef by 100 rupees. When alpha, beta it might be possible that the values of alpha, beta and gamma changes. And when values of alpha, beta and gamma changes it is referred to as structural change in demand. It might be possible. We are considering that this is a linear association. Price will increase, quantity demand will increase in a particular way. But it might be possible there is change in functional form. It might be possible there is a nonlinear association among variables. So if there is change in the nature of the association among variables, then again there are some structural changes in the economy. In this diagram we are basically making discussion about demand for beef in 2 time periods. If we make a comparison of demand for beef in 1973 with demand for beef in 2023 we observed there is a decrease in demand for beef. This decrease in demand is attributed to the change in preferences of the consumer and preference, change in the preference of the consumer. As long as if we assume there is no change in the consumer preferences, then there will be no change in demand for commodity. There is no shift of the demand curve from one position to another position. But what happened here is demand for beef decreased in 2 time periods. It might be possible that there are some negative consequences on the health of the people. There are certain content that is contributing negatively towards the health of the people. If you use beef, there are some negative impacts on your health, you have a heart problem, your blood pressure is shooting, then because of that awareness historically what happened? In developed economies there is a decrease in demand for beef and this decrease in demand for beef that is because of structural change and that structural change is observed because of changing behavior of the consumer and that change in behavior of the consumer is because of awareness. Now if I talk about this diagram in this video, then here we are taking quantity, demand for fruits and if I talk about demand for fruits reference, demand for fruits in year 1973 is less as compared to demand for fruits in year 2023. Here we are observing that over a period of time there is increase in demand for fruits. What is the reason for this? The demand for fruits has increased in the market. It might be possible this increase in demand for fruits is because of the awareness of the consumer again, fruits are contributing positively towards the health of the consumer. So because of that increase in awareness, what we are saying is that there is increase in demand for fruits. The consumers are willing to buy more commodity, more quantity of fruits at same price in two time periods. When you saw the demand for fruits, we observed that there is increase in demand for fruits over two time periods. If we talk about this in some other quantity reference, let's take another agricultural commodity which is exposed pulses. In two time periods, here we are seeing that there is decrease in demand for pulses in two time periods.  When we say demand decreases, demand curve will shift, left world. Then one more thing which is very important is that in demand, we mostly talk about price and quantity association. But we also put a variable income in that model. Now what is the impact of income? When you talk about income, mostly income contributes positively towards the demand for a commodity. If income increases, quantity demand increases, then we say quantity under consideration is a normal commodity. But one thing that is very important here is that whenever income increases, quantity demand increases at a decreasing rate. What is this that we have made a curve relationship and what is this that we are indicating? That although income of the household increases, but there is increase in quantity demand at a decreasing rate. What is the demand I am defining here with reference to income? Beef. My assumption is that in developing countries beef act as a normal commodity. Keeping other things constant. If income increases, there is increase in demand for beef. If I go into developed economies, it might be possible that the association becomes negative. If income increases, demand for beef decreases. If all these concepts are defined precisely, then I think that is important whenever we make discussion about market demand for agricultural products. It is the price of complement and price of substitutes. And availability of different substitutes in the market with reference to commodity under consideration. If we talk about if there is increase in price of complement, then because of increase in price of complement, there is a decrease in demand for commodity under consideration. As we just talked about, if I say wheat and rice complement, people use wheat and rice and use a combination of wheat and rice to meet their food requirement. If the price of wheat increases, what will happen? It might be possible there is a decrease in demand for rice. Why? Because of my assumption, wheat and rice are complement of each other. You can also take an example that if I talk about cereal and quantity of milk, that if price of cereal increases, then demand for milk will decrease. People are using cereal and milk for their breakfast. If the price of cereal increases, people will also decrease the consumption of milk. Now, if I talk about substitutes in reference to this, then what will happen? If the price of substitutes increases, then demand for substitutes will also increase. Let's talk about beef and chicken. What is my assumption? Both commodities are substitutes of each other. If the price of beef increases, it might be possible.  In case of complement, in case of substitute, price and quantity both move in the same direction. When we talk about the development of new products, whenever new product is developed, it will increase the demand in shift in demand of existing commodity. We observed with the passage of time, there is development of the artificial fiber and because of that artificial fiber, it substituted your cotton. Existence of the substitute results in decrease in demand for wool and at the same time, the change in preferences also contributes towards the shift in demand. So, all these factors are the factors which will affect the demand of agricultural products in the market. Thank you very much.


story tonight. A community rallying behind a family who lost a father of seven. Why he'd at a mod had come to the United States just four years ago after he worked for the United States government in Afghanistan. At a mod was killed by a wrong way driver as he drove northbound on highway 101 early Sunday morning. The wrong way driver was also killed. Crown force J. R. Stone talked with the victim's 13 year old son. My dad is not here. Without him, everyone's kind of a lot of fat. And they missed him a lot. Yeah, I missed him 13 year old Yaya without his dad after that dad. Waheed at a mod was killed by a wrong way driver on highway 101. The accident happened in San Francisco early Sunday morning. Waheed was a driver for Uber and had a passenger in his car when that wrong way driver hit them. Waheed and the other driver died. His son, Yaya remembers when he was told what had happened to policemen came. They're like we have bad news for you. They took my mom and my sister in me after and said I have bad news. They're dead. That's the way years ago. Waheed worked as a translator for the US government in Afghanistan. He brought his family to the United States legally four years ago. Waheed was currently a full time student and full time worker working overnight as an Uber driver to support his wife and his seven children seen here. Many of them are too young to understand what has happened. Those at the Muslim Community Center are working to help the family. These items have been donated and online more than $200,000 has been raised in hopes of finding them permanent housing. There's a hope that officials will help too. If the county office Congress is Senator Pelosi. She's from San Francisco. If they can hear us and they can we need this family. We need help with them. We need a permanent shelter for them. We need this family. If any of these children goes astray or in the wrong direction, it will be the fault of not only the school team, people will be the part of all of this state. As for Yaya, he understands the challenges ahead. Might have passed away. Down in my family, none of them can work. All the more small and my mom she didn't speak English. Can't drive. And she has all the kids to go to school, come back, have lunch. Can't do anything. Just a heartbreaking story at last check. More than $213,000 been raised for this family in just two days. Now they are not us citizens, but those here in the community are doing what they can to try and make sure that they can stay here in the United States. In Pleasanton J. R. Stone, cron for news.
