Welcome to ToffeeTV driven for the summit by Vanna Rahmet. Loads happening bars in the last 48 hours now. It all kicked off on Monday, Tuesday, Tuesday night. I can't keep up, I'm trying to like... Tuesday night, obviously they said we'd had loads of rumours about Samala Dice and Wednesday was the D day. That was the day it was supposed to all happen. He was going to London and he was meeting up with Fadman Sherry. Tuesday night we get the announcement of the board restructure. Robert Elson out. John Woods out. Denise Barrett-Bachsendale professor. Denise Barrett-Bachsendale. Now the new chief executive. Keith Hallis, deputy. And Alexander Rajinoff. Say fast doesn't matter how you say. Say fast is also in the mix. And it just, you know, as soon as that happened it felt like, oof, it started, it started. Yeah, it's, you know, the whole restructure. We've been speaking about it for a few months now and we did the need for clarity every day. You know, we mentioned last week when the club went with the clubgander and then Robert Elson was leaving, dating and everything else. You know, we were all wondering if Fadman Sherry's waited till the end of the season. And then he came back and flew in on Tuesday from Monaco over every year. And got to work with it and it's good, it's good because it's, it looks like a clear structure now when you look at the makeup of the club. Obviously we knew, we knew Robert Elson was going. Denise professor, Denise Barrett-Bachsendale. Knows the club ever so only done fantastic work in the community. So that, I've seen people say it's a safe appointment, but you know, she's done well. She was the outstanding candidate from within the club, I believe. Yes, people will say, people will say, you know, why aren't we looking to the outside? Well maybe, I'm just playing devil's advocate here, maybe with, you know, the appointment of Keith Harris being on the board in the last year or so and now being given more responsibility, probably the stadium responsibility we'd think because he was involved with the building of Wembley. That he is maybe that outside man that we were all looking for maybe to take over as Chief Executive. Maybe and obviously, you know, I know you're going to get onto Marcel Brands in a bit, but it looks like Denise's role is very much on the business side. I think, yeah, there'll be some crossover into the playing side because there has to be. But in general, you know, it looks like, right, there's people who look accountable for things now or certainly responsible. Accountable for things the right way, but responsible for things which before and it was just the board or far out this year. He didn't actually know what he was doing, what the make-up of it was and now then looks like there's clear roles for people and that can only benefit the club. Yeah, because Robert Elton's gone on it. I don't feel sorry for him, but I think that he suffered from him having almost that too much responsibility over time. It felt like for years that it was like he was in charge of everything at the club.  So I think they've learned that, well, maybe business has just moved on. It's hard to say. He can give a clear, definite, you know, insight into the world of business when you just don't know. But it does feel like that his part of his job now being broken up. So there is, because I think football has moved on, hasn't it? It's gone from being, you know, doing these deals that at the time seem big. I think everything, everything in football for me has just got more detailed and detailed and refined and refined and refined. And you're dealing with such big things now. And obviously, every day to day, because of the stadium as well, it's almost like it's two different things now. It's a football club and they're trying to get a stadium built. It's so much happening at the same time. So I think it's important that those roles are being refined and you don't just have the one person you look to now. Definitely. You only have to look at some football clubs the way they're operated and what levels of commercial deals they get and different things like that. We still seem to be very much like a family club, which is great on one aspect of it. But when you're trying to compete with teams above you who are powerful, brands are really strong and things like that. It's difficult to jump into that. You know, the criticism, there's been criticism there because Robert Elstone built work so closely together. Frustration. The problem you've got is we've been held back by lack of funds for so long that people get angry and frustrated with the likes of Bill Kenney and Robert Elstone. And even some of the decent work they've done will get overlooked. Because this trophy drought is ridiculous for a club of everything size. And not sustain and think when you look at teams like Birmingham City, once Swansea, once trophies. Recently, you know, Evan and Owen are in that. That to me, you know, the frustration is there. But we've moved on from that. We have, the time has come, we've got a majority shareholder who's a very successful businessman and mixes with very successful business people. So he's got a clear structure of how it needs to be. I think he's tried it one way and everything we're getting, the bits of information we're now getting. He's tried it one way and he's decided now this ain't working and this is how it's going to be. Hence the new structure and let's hope that for once we've made good decisions, good choices and we can actually start to benefit. Because it has, over the last year, not on the playing side, off field stuff has improved. Sponsorship of USM Finch Farm and deals with the bank. Yeah, it seems to be going more in the right direction. Even if it is massive strides, I suppose you've got to take smaller strides. If you're trying to build out your brand. I think that going back to what you say about Elston, I think the big, you know, the likes of Elston, the big problem with him was or the club, I think at that time was, it was funny, I was talking about it before, and it's something that comes out of around at that time now is that, you know, we're getting this sort of, be careful what you wish for, sort of vibe thrown at us. And when you look at the, when you look at the book, you know, the history books and you look at where we've placed in the last 10, 15 years, we've been, you know, we've been the top six team or in top seven, whatever. But the problem is the differences now is that, and I think this is why people are like, we're watching, where do you expect to finish this? Any of the top six now can finish in the Champions League places. When we were in the top six, we managed it once and we never really pushed past that. Apart from obviously the scene under Martinis, we never really, we sometimes, you know, we finished fifth, but we never ever, we never, we were always on close. We were always a mile away from finishing fourth. With anyone in that top six can finish, so it's going to be tough to try and break into that. So I think that's a feeling of that time is now. It was like, we didn't build on it. We couldn't build on it. They all say that's not their fault, finances and all the rest of it. We didn't build on it. So I think that was one of the major frustrations that come out of that period. And it was also, and David Moyes was chief of this as well, was almost dumbing everything down a bit and going, well, we haven't got money, so we can't, you know. And that, people will say, well, that was just realism. But football isn't about being real. So you've got to dream and think big. And if you, if you start telling everybody that we're not a big club anymore, enough people start believing it. And that, that's a good point to go from for the situation on Wednesday morning. You know, we did all the rumours. We were expecting it. Some of the dicing up a quarter to ten is sacked by the club. No messing about, no mutual concern, no amical split. Sacked. Little, little, little statement from, from Professor Denise Barrabax and Dale to say, you know, thanks, but no thanks. We're moving in a different direction. We're looking to the future. And I think the response to some of the ISIS sacks in the media are all, well, say members of the media are all aghast, out there, you know, and all that. But I think, I think the, the ultimate thing comes from what you've just seen. We've lived, we've lived with that. We've lived with, you know, we don't want it. We don't want a day to try where his fans are now going. Why, why don't we day to try? You know, if the Iranian fellas got the, got the, the red easy claims he has. Why aren't we, you know, trying to push on? And I think fans are just not willing to sit there and suffer. You know, they want something fresh.  Was it, was it a clear indication of that from the fans? Definitely. I mean, we've, we want to win something.  But first and foremost, we want to enjoy watching our team play football. And we all want to get behind something that's getting built. You know, we wanted the BBI partners. He's seen that, that first season. We all, you know, some of us were cautious before he came and didn't really want him, but he quickly got on board and everything started snowbound. It looked really promising. And it, you know, it was built on sand because he didn't know how to defend. But we all wanted to be behind that. Then Kuman, Kuman was, was standoffish and things like that. And people didn't take to him really. And then nobody really wanted Sam Aladais, whether he needed to come in at that time or not. So we made up with the appointments. And he's obviously, you know, I think it was Andy Hunter that done a piece talking about, he made no effort at all to endear himself to ever something. And he didn't buy into it. You know, seeing Roger Bennett as well, from Men in Blazers saying he's never known and never managed to, to be so distant from the fans or anything. And that, that kind of thing created divide. So we want, I think a lot of people's realisation in about, probably a luck woman on the door, but certainly in about March when we were, we were safe, when we'd won at Stoke, we were safe. Yeah. Nothing changed. Two defensive midfielders, boring football. And everyone was like, well... Last game of the season, taking Stryker off. Taking Stryker off, Southampton their own, starting with two defensive midfielders. And again, it really didn't matter because we couldn't even get a seventh at that stage. It was done. So you're looking and going, this just ain't going to change. And fans are wanting to see progression. They want something to believe in. They want to see it and go, we've got a young, hungry attacker manager. We'll get behind him. It might be bumpy and it might be this, but if we're still moving forward, we'll be all over it. Whereas I think this year, despite, I think the problem with this season, the summer was so, so positive and so full of expectation and excitement that when it spiralled out of control by October, almost everyone's teams were on the floor.  Couldn't get who they wanted then. And since then, people have been critical. See, this is the thing is in it as well, you know, something like this wasn't, it wasn't first choice. You know, Silver was first choice. We know that he wanted Silver in, he wanted him in earlier. And it just came that because of, you know, the time under David Underworth, then it felt like it had gone on too long and he had to make a change.  You can understand why he wanted to get it done early and almost get that sorted. But by doing that, I think that's paved the way actually for the long-term future because I think what has actually happened off the pitch, but it looks like you can't obviously say it is, is that by getting, by being practically safe by March, well, we were actually safe in February, the Crystal Palace game really, technically. It's allowed Farhad Mishiri to go away and get his vision of what he wanted since then, without sort of letting anyone else in on the plan. I mean, I'm sure he has. He's got his, you know, the people on the board and that, but without sort of bringing Sam Aladdite into the conversation or Steve Walsh into the conversation or anyone on the football side of it, he seems to have been planning the long-term future of how he sees it since then because I think that's why, maybe that's why he did bring Sam Aladdite in to guarantee that safety by as early as possible, knowing that the season was a write-off anyway because as I say, we'd left it or gone for, you know, look at West Brom and we keep on getting told West Brom were hired and the Southampton were hired and there's when Aladdite came in, but they were still crap and they, you know, obviously Southampton waited and broke use and stayed in by, you know, Scruff, you know, Scruff of the Neck, so it took grit of teeth and West Brom brought someone in who was just shitting part of you, let's get it right. And that's allowed him to go, well, you know what, we've got March, we're safe, now we can sketch the plans, don't we? Then, and it looks like he has because I think anyone who queries with why he's brought Sam Aladdite in, I think look at the big picture, look what's happened though in the last 48 hours, look what's happened with changing the board. What he's effectively said there is this isn't Sam Aladdite. This is everything. I've got it wrong myself and I think Sam Aladdite will can take sort of half from that, that no one's putting the blame on him and that's why I think when you have these phonings and stuff and, you know, is media cronies like, oh, he's done a great job. Look at the bigger picture. It's not about Sam Aladdite. If I had my share, he's made the decision that affects Everton long-term. Sam Aladdite isn't in it for the long-term and he would he fit into what they want? Clearly no. By restructuring the board, looking for a younger manager and then with the appointment of Marcel Brands later on in the day, that shows you that he has got a wider picture and that's where the people in the media need to just have a look at that. For example, you just mentioned Andy Hunter. There's other journalists who have also seen the bigger picture. People who are closer to Everton. People who are just looking from the outside and going, oh, that's terrible on Sam. They've seen the bigger picture and I think that let's Sam off the hook because Sam for me wasn't on the hook because he did what it said on the can. Whether people like that or not, he did what he was brought in to do because he was so swift in his actions and he was by getting Big Sam being the meeting, the changed sandwich it's alright John put Bax and Dale in the sandwich in our video it shows that it's not just about him, it's a club thing and he's brought brands in as well which again, later on in the day brings brands in PSV kindly tweeted he was on his way and Everton put it out later on in the day but by being so swift in those three key elements I think it's put Everton on a completely different path and that's all for me far as I'm sure he wants it to do. Yeah, he he obviously looks like Marko Silver's the man he wants therefore the Sam Alladice thing was can we just get someone who will guarantee us that we're still going to be here because people will go we're never in danger but after Southampton we looked in danger whether we yet the players were good enough but at that time they were all over the place it really was just about sustaining sustaining the status quo and while he shot at everything else out he was a steady, safe pair of hands hasn't been great to watch we know that and he'll take things away like you didn't lose a leg to have to deliver pool and things like that things like you always had that second half against Matt City beat City 1-0 second half so he's got them for life the day and some of the way through 1-1 didn't miss a second half so he's got these but now in all series he doesn't worry what he needed to do for Farad Miss Sherry not so much for Sam Alladice I think he thought he was getting longer and wanted longer because I think he thought now from his perspective what I was going to say was it just tells me that he wasn't in the picture do you know what I mean like he Farad Miss Sherry has don't forget again something the media have completely not looked at Steve Walsh got the sack yesterday as well this is not all about Sam Alladice the media want to make it all about Sam Alladice it's not Steve Walsh got the sack as well yesterday he's out the door again thanks bye see you later he's out the door so in the space of 40 hours Everton have completely restructured the top end of the club completely that's huge massive we sat here on Tuesday and did a video for Patreon who's the most important appointment and we were sitting here talking about they've got to do this and they've got to do that the next day they've done it all they've all been done in the next day do you think they watched that on Tuesday I think Farad Miss Sherry I'll have to check some of the news they did it the next day and I think that's what's getting missed here by all these people Everton have just changed the top end this is going to be amazing they don't want to fall into that trap but it's huge and that is they've completely changed the way they want to go forward you mentioned silver there let's just stick on brands for a minute stick on brands brands has come in and you've got people who are excited and maybe you've got people who are excited but they don't know why they're excited they don't know it's boss though which we've been guilty of in the past but this is the one this is the fella he wanted this is the fella he's identified he was saying to me he wanted him before he got Walsh in so why do you think he's so key I think because of the way he sees the club Miss Sherry I think he wants someone who will run the whole football side of it at the very top end he's experienced but with the track record wanted Monty he was the best in the world at that time and Seville wouldn't let him go and brands was the next one and he didn't want to go which is fair enough for me and Doby Walsh he's had his eye on him for two years almost the best part of two years he's done extensive research on him apparently there's track records there like a PS5 one in the league again he's got a great history of it brings players through some of the players and he's a Dembele people like that sold on Wynaldum at Liverpool and kind of players that he's brought through to East Martins as well so he's got the pie he had as well a good track record loves promoting youth players into the first team and seeing that pathway he sets up those pathways as well he's a good negotiator I believe he identifies things and an ethos for the way the team will play everything we've spoke about in terms of what we'd like and what other people have said and what they'd like he kind of speaks about it he's demonstrated that in the past so I think that's key for us because he did it on his own self and he said he've had too many managers and changed too many players for it to have worked for them in a way which to me means building something I think as well people are not all sure about this about the technical director or the director of football or whatever you want to call it but I think with the way the restructure is worked what he's done as well by the looks of it is that they've restructured to give him more room to do his job people on the board are going to have responsibilities you know then he's brought it back to the day the day running Keith Harris to turn to sort of stadium the Russian fella to do all commercial stuff and get the money into the club and then you've got it's almost like it's the top but it's a line and then on that side that side you've got brands and I think then there's a hierarchy then on that side so there's a football side and there's the football, you know, the other side of it and I think with brands I think that I think the way to look at it is is that in your opinion it's not as big here you do have a lot of clubs like this, Bayern Munich do this Man City have started to do this and if you're going to look at the world's best managers and say well Pep Guardiola Manino or whatever if you're going to look at that side of it he is up there isn't he's up there as you've mentioned Monti would be the best he's up there as one of those bests and we've gone out and got him which is potentially you know fantastic I mean if it works but what you've got to remember is when we brought that system in we didn't go out and look for the best we didn't even go out and look for someone who'd done it well we tried to get it we tried to but we ended up with it effectively bringing in somebody who hadn't done the job before and said go and do that job so we didn't go out and try and get the best we did try and get the best but we ended up with someone who was like I'm not first so it's like you've gone out for the manager and once a Pep Guardiola you couldn't get him and you've said to Duncan Ferguson would you want to be the manager then you know I know you're a coach and you might be an okay coach or whatever or even David Undriff we know you're a manager you're not a Premier League manager but you're fancy having to go and doing that and that's what it almost feels like with Steve Walsh and it's almost like well I can do the or even like well I can do that job but yeah but if you want to do this you need to do that and that and when it was all pushed together he couldn't do it it's not his job but it's this fella this is his job this is what he does he's been doing it since 2005 you know I had a couple of different clubs that's what's key the fact that he's done it before that's what the difference is you know Steve Walsh coming in like you said his role was totally different at least that he was like chief scout and part of the coaching staff so he was on the training ground with the players you know he was part of that year he's back doing with Shakespeare coming here he wasn't on the training you know he'd be there time to time but his job was different and he wasn't didn't have experience so therefore processes that you're setting up that you need to be in charge of to have a full grasp of negotiating skills and stuff like that he hadn't done any of that contacts as well various other things that go on in that role he didn't have a handle on which isn't great relationship with Ronald Coombs wasn't very good I think as Coombs already said many times he didn't have the greatest relationship so you know that's what that is so this time we have got one of the best so hopefully he's going to come in and establish that side of the club so everyone's clear so the manager Marco Silva can get on with doing what he does but have a decent relationship with the director of football and the other thing is what we've said before if we can get a way of playing and players that fit that system if Marco Silva either gets poached or isn't good enough the likes of Marcel Brands will already be identifying similar managers you can come in and take over these players because the problem I think sometimes with football clubs now with the money and stuff it wasn't such a thing years ago but now the money you spend on players and different types of players the reason some clubs have real issues is they bring different coaches when Liverpool brought Jürgen Klopp Jürgen Klopp was like a highly rated European coach he came into Liverpool with Brendan Rodgers players and it was alright, they finished it because fans would be finished but he went and got people who complemented his system and he got them to fourth because he's a good coach and because he improved them and he worked them out then in the summer he went and got more they complemented so now that's why they're in the Champions League final they qualify for the Champions League again next season because it took him time to mould his team with I think the likes of Cuban went wrong he just got players who were good and I'm Welsh the pair of them no idea how everyone was fitting together and that's why I think the philosophy side of it Marcel Brand has got big input into that and trying to shape everything going forward because that should provide continuity as we move forward really that's what it should be it should be all pulling in the same direction it was like you go back to the Man City where they got the people in the back a year or so before Pep Guardiola coming they'd structured that club so that when Pep Guardiola came in it was all ready for him, how he worked because they were all his people he'd had a Barcelona anyway so all those people had already been guarded in that direction so that when he walked through the door it was all set up for them now obviously we're not going to go and get a Pep Guardiola it might be Marco Silva but at least if it is Marco Silva you know at least if it is I'm hoping if it is Marco Silva that it's always been Marco Silva do you know what I mean? because if it has been Marco Silva since day one then Marco Silva would have been to look at us and even maybe spoken to brands or Macheri or whatever and got started to get to work basically that's basically what I'm telling you started to get to work started to get to work started to look at what he's come into who are the players he's going to come into who's he going to be working with what is the structure of the club what is if it has been Silva I know they've said that then he's brought it back now and we're going to have to after a while that's just going to be the backs they some brands are supposed to be going away the manager situation the next 10 days to 2 weeks even though their jobs don't start on the 1st of June by the way but if it is Silva then I'd rather it's always been Silva because that way we've got a head start then on potentially one of the, I mean this is why it's so key we've got these things out the way anyway on one of the fastest turnovers transfer window opens today you know so it's important that we're ready to go so I'm just hoping that I'm buoyed by the fact that brands have walked in it's like yeah I've had this job for about 2 months or 3 months and I've already had a little look around and I already know where we want to go and I've already got a picture in my head and I already know the players I want and the manager who comes in you know without saying any names he'll go, he will be selected based on where I see the club going and I think that's really important because I think in the past we've all we've got this we've had for years the manager's the most important man at the club and loads of people still think he is but football's changed like we've said on sports has changed as a whole there's so much money involved but if the hierarchy's there so we don't have that well who bought him it's not a bad place Steve Walsh bought him and they will go play us you know or depending on what you've outlook on the whole thing it does seem like it'll be like well brands has the vision the manager who he selects his job is to realise that vision and between them the players and they all that as well will be selected to to do that that's what you hope you know we've seen links already with Justin Clivehead you know who Raiola is so if we can start getting people like that in through the door because of Raiola and because of brands then he's a hot property in Europe you know and that should help with so fingers crossed that it all runs smoothly yeah listen it seems complicated it seems it seems a million miles from where football used to be but I think actually this system would be less complicated than it was before because I think the most important word here is hierarchy I think it's so key do you disagree with that no for me I think it's so key but that the people within the club know their bosses but I think it's so important to us as well that we know and this is why I've said for ages why we've said for ages why brands appointment was so key because it was about it was about he's now in charge of creating the vision where I never for one minute thought Steve Vulture's job was he was just like well I'll buy the players and I'll go and get the players that you want and that's just under Kuman and him that just seemed to cause more problems than it solved whereas I think with this that I think the key thing was when they said brands underneath Bacchanel Bacchanel we'll select the manager I think that was the most key thing because when the manager walks into I don't think they have a normal interview process but when they walk into a room and the first person they meet is not so a brand and the technical director I'm in charge I'm your boss I'm your boss whereas I don't ever think I didn't think under Walsh Walsh wasn't Kuman's boss exactly so I think that's where that relationship's got to come from and I think that because if you're if you're a manager at a lot of clubs and it works at clubs of course it does but I just mean say it was the current structure you wouldn't see Farah Masheri so for you Farah Masheri the man who employs you the biggest owner and all that but you wouldn't see him every now and again whereas with Marcel Brands he's going to be based at Finch Farm so you're going to see around most day unless he's off doing stuff but he's a visible presence within the training complex the training ground running that whole thing it's very visible and I think that's important the equivalent I would say it's not really an equivalent but you know when someone's making a film or a TV programme and you have the Bayer Ekte who is, it is vision on the pitch or on the screen it's his boss and the producer can just be like this isn't going the way that we've got to sell this film I've got to get bums on the seats your vision is that's you but I know this isn't going to make any money and I think that's where it's that kind of relationship and I think that's got to be there that hierarchy's got to be there and I just think the whole thing the way it's being almost but there's a split not, there's a split and you've got the nice part of Baxnail is Top Dog on that side and Marshall Brands is Top Dog on that side you know football business even though he's the football business guy as well but you know what I mean yeah that's all it seems to make sense now obviously the proof will be in the pudding but it's good that whereas before I don't think it made I don't think the structure was in place for it to work because I just think there was too many people standing on each other's toes by the looks of it by the looks of it because you still had as well don't forget you had you had and this is, you know what it's funny because it's indicative of the team as well the team has people from Moises area who played for Martiners and the boardroom was a bit like that, it still had Bill's chief executive it still had John Woods it still had probably Bill making big decisions now it's more macherish people which makes more sense there's still parts of it and Bill's still still there for the meantime just you know like a force ghost, Obi-Wan giving the advice out but it seems now that it's macherish men and that's that's the vision now I can only be a gutting it's him getting the proper hold of the club which is what we want because I think sometimes the season people have questioned them and gone we've questioned them what's happening here because he's put a lot of money in is that it but it isn't he's brandy more of a massive thing but what I mean is it's equally important for the play inside and we have looked this season and gone where's this going, he's just going to go all the time stay in charge for a bit, just keep us afloat but it isn't he's looked at it and gone nah I want to build something this has come here to be successful didn't come here to just own a football club it's and we've said this on the flip side it's the same solution to long-term problems whereas Sam was a short-term solution for long-term problems so hopefully now people will know when they come back whether they've got futures or not the likes of Adam or the Luchman will come in come back and it might be completely different you think he'd play the young players would like to think you'd like to think so you'd like to think all the other young players will come back and obviously some players will be able to door but at least don't know now I think the vision will be there to just say thanks but no this is where we're going and we don't want you to know and we can buy into that then as fans yeah because that's all we want because if you look and go this is our manager now if it's Marko Silver he's 40 he's a young manager he's actually Marko over him but it's up to him to dispel those fears for us it's up to us to back him it's up to him to dispel any fears we've got by by portraying it on the pitch and by doing that if he turned round and meant him and him don't shoot the way I play we just have to go right but he's got an idea in his head but the most important thing is for that if it is Silver and people got issues with that silver the proof would be in the pudding for me but I'm not overly convinced because he's got things as well the only person I'd be convinced by is Pep Guardiola everyone is every manager is a risk just because you're greater at one club doesn't mean you're greater at another club the fact is you need a little bit of good fortune you need different things the choices we've got I love Emery but Emery's not without his problems and he can't speak English he can be quite divisive I think some people don't like him like you said, Fonseca people are all over him can he do it in England? you wouldn't know and you know there's issues there you look at dice and you go he's a safe pair of hands but he's really excited he's asked he needs top level players do you know what I'm saying the most important thing is that who ever comes in comes in to a club now that is stable and knows where it's going and knows where it's going and gives the man who comes in all the necessary tools to do his job that would be honestly the only people that really matter it's Machiere and Brant and if they've made if it's matter no you're right because you know what we shouldn't even know the names of those three other people really do you know what I mean we shouldn't really know Denise Barrabasna is like a figurehead and she'll have a name on all the statements but we shouldn't really know who those people are they run the shop do you know what I mean you're right they shouldn't be important in terms of football because the football side should be important but it's all important I just mean Brant and Machiere are the most important and if Macho Silver's been identified a while ago and they've looked at it and gone you know when he's made he says it's definitely not some other place you know Marcel Brant is like nah you know when it's Silver like you said they know what kind of manager Silver is he might have spoke to brands and brands might be like this what I want to do and he's like that's what I want to do that's fine because that means you're getting that unity whereas Coombs in and then Walsh came in Walsh might have looked at Coombs and gone I wouldn't have employed you you know I don't actually think you're very good you know whether Walsh was qualified to do it or not just because he was put together doesn't mean if he would have had any influence in the decision he would have said Ronald Coombs the one I go for he might have looked and gone and he didn't have a style of Southampton he didn't do this but the flip side of that is Coombs would have looked at him you can't do this I don't mind he knew the job he was doing he might have looked at him and gone you know you can't get the players I am asking you for because that's the other side of it isn't it if you've got someone who's supposed to be your boss and you go you can't do that job you're not good enough to do that job that makes me look bad when I do my job that's gonna and we got that quite early on with the Snyder and we had it obviously with the Jiru thing as well and the Belford here was it Belford here was the other one but it was like Walsh was like no I have him and he was like I don't want him crap with that as well and that's where brands you go this fella knows the job he knows it doesn't he's not gonna doubt him because he's done it so if he goes we do it this way he's not gonna go why are you doing it that way because he'll just go because that's how I do it and that's how it's done job is done like this people aren't gonna go you know what it's better doing it this way with the might have said to Walsh and Walsh might have gone oh okay we don't know obviously the speculating but all you can do is get people in the shop before that's it I'm a good at it and a good at it because that's why you've gone for them so listen Mishir he's not gonna want to keep or us or whatever it is he's not gonna want to keep spunking money up the wall without saying anything well he's not is he he's gone and got Walsh he's paid enough to he's called them but that's bloody spare change if you get it right if you get it right and get a vision going and it starts to work well spent because you've tried and it hasn't really worked so it's been moving again we move against Tottenham took a wild man city took a wild to get it right and then he got it right in a big way but still took them all you know they went through a couple of managers before they were happy with you know Pellegrini and then they still been happy with him and they wanted pet that's why he stayed so long so it might take a little bit of time but as long as we're moving forward as long as there's a vision and as long you can follow the break runs which I don't think there was any then you'll feel like we're moving forward that's all we want as fans then we'll buy into it which creates a stronger evidence definitely definitely so yeah it's been a crazy crazy last few days busy busy busy let us know your thoughts in the comments on the restructuring of the board Sam Alibis getting sacked massive brands being appointed and what it all means and where we're going and who do you want for the manager let us know your thoughts in the comments thanks for watching ToffyTV we'll see you later

Ac we've put the information before the Felispiaro Bella, a kind of an emo state, telling him that lots of people have spoken up to say, this man works for an oil company, he's a respectable man in society, he has a family.  So really we have spoken to the police, well hopefully we can get them still on this matter to get more information on the facts of this particular case. But looking generally at what happens in Nigeria, how people are picked and just languishing police custody, how would you, what would be assessment of this particular situation with Ibe Kashmir? Would you say he was just lucky this time around? He was lucky because the social media helped him so much. If there was no social media I don't know where Ibe would have been today. For me too, I was picked up four years ago in 2011 and I spent four years in prison by Saqfark, and I was arrested and where I spent four years in prison. So there was no social media power like that for people to voice out for me and the rest of them. So imagine if Ibe was picked up in 2011 or 2012 when the social media was not too, presents was not much in Nigeria, Ibe would have spent six years or seven years in prison. But social media powered your TV station where everybody was involved and Ibe was released. If people were silent because of, if people were silent when Ibe's case came up to the public, Ibe, nobody would have known where Ibe is today. So for a case like this now, would you advise people like this to sue for lawful arrest and some other similar charges? I'm asking, you know, for a case like Kashmir, would you advise persons like him to sue the police? Is it possible that you can sue and get compensation? Yes, because I have to do that, but the issue here is that the judiciary is supposed to be the last group of the common man. They are on strike. So where can he stop from suing the police when the court is on strike? So you can't do anything. So if you are arrested unjustly, I want to sue the police for keeping you in cell for years or for months or for days. The courts are on strike. So nobody, where can you sue them? Usually courts can, that's why you can't get justice. But the courts are supposed to be for us, the common people in the street, they are on strike, they are not working. So for now, nobody is suing anybody. So his days in the police, because he was paraded by the police spokesman, the baller who said they picked up people, he was paraded by the baller and named him one of the hood dumps, you know. So after he is asked from the police, the players are supposed not to fight a civil suit against the police. But because they are on strike, nothing is working, everything is down. So last question for me, Harrison. Because of the nature of our society, how we know that people can just get picked up randomly for doing nothing. You know, if someone listening to us right now finds himself or herself or a family member in the situation that eBay was a few days ago, you know, being in prison or being in police custody for no cause, what do you advise them or the family members to do immediately to make sure that they are out and safe? One is for the purpose to get a lawyer. A lawyer is supposed to be your defender who comes to the police stations to hear from you and see how he can effect your release too. But right now what we do is to, we have, the police team have what they call the police complaint to me, where they, where they, where they can complain, either you call or send SMS to them and they will respond to you. The complete response of the police force is effective. Yes, I can confirm that. I'm not trying to do image making for them, but we have been working with them and they are being effective. Which time, some of these people from the street, unlawfully, unjustly, we put up a call to them and they will respond to them. Just a minute. So the CRI office should be... Harrison, do you have the number of that complaint in it? I have them, but I think I'm going to send it to you after the program. OK. The email number, the work number, the phone calls, they are very, very effective. We probably, you know, need to do more publicity for, you know, on that regard. You know, but it's also, you know, hard to imagine the class of police officers that make up the response team and then the ones that are on the streets.  But anyway, thank you very much, Harrison Gwamishu, for your time this morning. Thanks for speaking with us. And of course, we hope that there's many and many others who can be set free and allowed to go home when they've been picked up for absolutely no crimes. Thanks once again. Thank you, Harrison. And congratulations. Yeah, thanks for having me. All right, stay with us. We're, of course, taking a short break when we come back. Wally Scott, I was going to say Wally Spots, pretty much the same. Wally Scott will be joining us.

Item number SCP-2121 Object Class Safe Special Containment Procedures SCP-2121 is to be mounted on a simple square arch frame, measuring 3.5 meters in height. Once every lunar month, approximately every 28 days, a D-class personnel avowing devout faith in any religion is to be hanged using SCP-2121 in such a manner as to result in death by strangulation, rather than by breaking the neck. Interviews are allowed during this period, and any significant responses are to be recorded and included in the master log. Once deceased, the hanged individual is to remain in SCP-2121 for no less than 24 hours, or until total desiccation has occurred. At this point, remains of the body and any residual fluids are to be removed from the containment chamber and incinerated. Aside from the D-class personnel meeting the above qualifications, the only Foundation personnel allowed to have contact with SCP-2121 are confirmed atheists, rating less than 5 on the standard rating measures of religious beliefs and practices, who have never been a member of any religious organization or come to contact with any SCP item, anomalous object, or G.O.I. with significant religious or mythological connections. Description SCP-2121 is a hangman's noose composed of a variety of fleshy tissues. The tissue is resistant to all attempts to acquire samples for analysis, but visually appears to be composed of ligaments, tendons, portions of intestine, and a single 1.3-meter tongue tied and woven together into a single rope, which is itself tied in a traditional hangman's knot. The tissues appear fresh and feel wet to the touch, but do not decay or dry out, regardless of environmental conditions. If SCP-2121 is not used to hang a qualifying individual at least once every lunar month, it will begin to emit a chaotic noise composed of screaming, moans of pain, and seemingly panicked vocalizations in a variety of unidentified languages. This noise will steadily increase to a maximum of 137 dB over the course of 24 hours and will not cease until a qualifying individual is hanged using SCP-2121. The noise also has a telepathic component and can be clearly heard by any sapient being, including those who are in soundproof chambers or who are sensory-neurally deaf, up to a distance of 1.7 km. Any individuals who actively possess faith in any religious belief will become increasingly despondent as the length of exposure increases and will attempt to commit suicide via hanging at the earliest possible time. If the affected individual is aware of the existence of SCP-2121, they will attempt to use it to commit suicide, although this is not an overriding compulsion. Individuals who have committed suicide without use of SCP-2121 will not experience its other effects. Religious individuals who make physical contact with SCP-2121 outside of active broadcast experience the same effect to a lesser degree, manifesting symptoms of a variety of depressive disorders with only a slightly increased rate of suicidal ideation and attempts. Subjects hanged using SCP-2121 will remain conscious for an average of 3.7 minutes longer than expected by use of anonymous news and remain capable of speech for the entire duration prior to loss of consciousness. Vocalizations are exclusively of a religious nature and include wails of shock and despair over the apparent deaths of a variety of divine figures, curses against and insults towards an unidentified and unnamed deific figure, and pleas of mercy towards the same figure. Epithets used to describe the unknown deific figure indicate a tendency towards jealousy and violent retribution. Once an individual is deceased, the body will desiccate, with all bodily fluids exiting the body via orvices and skin pourers. Although most liquids will stream downwards off the body to pull below it, all blood will flow towards SCP-2121 into which it would be absorbed. SCP-2121 was initially brought to the attention of the Foundation by representatives of the Horizon Initiative, who stated that due to its specific properties and the nature of their organization, they were unable to either destroy or effectively contain it. They reported that it had been found near a remote village in northeastern Russia in a purportedly haunted grove of trees. The local priest of the Russian Orthodox Church, which found complicit in executing local criminals using SCP-2121 and, under interrogation, revealed that he did so in order to placate the demon within it, so that it did not consume the souls of the villagers, a task entrusted to him by its predecessor. Church records imply that SCP-2121 had been in the area for approximately 500 years, since the time of the founding of the village and the eradication of local pagan tribes.


What's up everyone take down here welcome back to another video today I'm going to be showing with you WWE's most recent releases April 15th we've seen that WWE released quite a few of their talents including 18 main roster superstars one referee one announcer a whole pile of producers and as I'm recording this video they also released a few NXT stars as of right now and there's also rumor that this is just wave one there's going to be more releases to come very soon now for me the numbers of how many people got released are insane I don't believe I've ever seen WWE release this many people at once and before you say WWE why are you releasing so many people consider the circumstances first of all every year around this time shortly after Mania we do see a few people get released from their contracts the people that not necessarily are getting a push in the WWE or maybe WWE just doesn't want to push them anymore and call up other people or sign other people to the brand and so instead of having them continued be part of it they just release them from the contract to make room for new talents they do this every year and I know it does suck especially when you're fans of quite a few of these people but whenever they release so many people at once there has to be a reason behind it so the first reason I can think of is the corona virus the global pandemic that is happening right now it is having a huge toll on the WWE we've seen other sports around the world have closed up completely they're not doing anything where WWE is having a non attendance there's no fan in attendance shows they have the WWE Raw Smackdown and NXT weekly shows along with WWE WrestleMania 36 all being held in the WWE Performance Center now a lot of people are not fans of this it doesn't have the same feel or the same experience as the live shows do because a huge role in the weekly shows and the pay per views is the audience what the audience thinks at the time the live audience in my opinion is very important so if WWE not having that they're not able to do and put on the best work that they could have however I understand why they did it the pandemic right now is insane it's going incredible and I think this is going to be happening for months and months from now it's going to continue to happen and I don't think for at least a few more months nothing's going to be open and expect to see no live audiences for the WWE with these recent releases it's not like they can really go to any other company because all of the indie scenes right now there's not really a presence because they're not doing shows and other ones unless they're having weekly shows on air and they're on tv and they're being seen that way they're not really hiring any staff and there's no attendance as well so they likely aren't going to get picked up from another company until after the pandemic so I'm hoping after the pandemic is over we see some of these guys that were released picked back up from the WWE so now I have the list of everybody that was released from the WWE I don't have all of the producers because some of them were hidden and some of them weren't announced as of yet and I don't have any of the NXT superstars that were released as the time I'm recording this video because I did not get a chance to see everybody that was released from NXT but I have the main roster releases the referee the commentator and a few of the producers I'm going to start off with the most shocking release and that is the referee that has 30 years experience being a referee in the WWE he is so incredible in the ring that is Mike Kiotta now Mike has ref matches like Batista versus Triple H Hulk Hogan versus The Rock at WrestleMania and so many more incredible moments he even had a match in the WWE back in the day as well so it's very incredible that somebody with so much experience with the WWE has been released now my theory with him being released is he is over the age of 50 maybe he just wanted time with his family during this pandemic maybe he didn't want to be working and possibly being exposed to the coronavirus which makes sense but why release him like this why not just lay him off let him go or pay him while he's away from work when he has so much to know already with the company and if it's not because the coronavirus that he wanted to be released why not release somebody that has less experience that hasn't been with the company as long as he has for him being referee I hope someday he goes in the hall of fame and I hope to see him back in the WWE after this pandemic is over but as now he has been released as far as the superstars goes some of these superstars are quite shocking to me some I understand and some I've actually predicted in my video back in January when I shared my thoughts on future WWE releases so for those superstars up first is going to be a shocking Kurtz angle now I knew that Kurtz angle did retire at WrestleMania a few years ago he is a WWE Hall of Famer after all but I knew he was signed to some sort of legends contract kind of like Edge and the Undertaker in Goldberg however he hasn't been used in quite some time he's a former Raw GM but I just don't see WWE using him anymore and I don't see him jumping ship to another company like AEW I think it's now time that he's going to sit back and enjoy his retirement with his family maybe someday be back in the WWE as a producer or backstage talent relation something like that or maybe a couple matches like Goldberg does in the ring here and there I could see him doing that I just don't see him jumping ship like some of the others on this list next up is Epico and Primo now I did predict this months ago back in January where I made that video and the main reason for that is they're doing their own thing in Puerto Rico WWE not only doesn't use them but doesn't really need them they have a pretty decent tag team division as of right now and I really wish that Epico and Primo did get pushed I know they're older now but I wish WWE gave them one last good decent run with great matches maybe a title shots but since they got released I don't see them coming back to the WWE or if they do it's going to be just for a couple matches a handful matches and then they'll be gone again so Epico and Primo have been released as well next is Leo Rush the former cruiserweight champion now this one was shocking to me I know he did have beef and contract issues with the WWE months ago but I thought they were sorted out now he's somebody that I don't see coming back to the WWE Leo Rush I feel like he's going to jump ship to all elite wrestling or potentially TNA where he can thrive and he can actually perform at the level he wants to and be used quite a bit I can see that happening with him I just don't see since he had beef with the WWE in a way and contract stuff and things were said in the past I don't see him coming back anytime soon next is Aiden English he was actually the commentator that was released now Aiden English when he was in the VOD villains back in NXT decent tag team I was not a fan of them at all coming up to the main roster is tag team partner left WWE and he kind of flopped in singles competition later went and teamed up and was aligned with Rusev which was a fail because he turned heel but he never surfaced after that eventually became a commentator but for me it makes sense why he got released wasn't doing the job that WWE originally hired him for and he hasn't been doing that great as of late next is EC3 now this one is one I predicted back in January I hate to see him go because I feel like WWE could have used him on the main roster more than they did he was originally part of NXT when it was more like a competitive show later transferred over to TNA where he thrived became a main eventer in a world heavyweight champion then came back to the WWE went into NXT where he was an all-star he was awesome never won a championship though came up to the main roster and flocked WWE didn't use him they were putting him in corny sketches wasn't used worth crap and he did end up getting injured at one point I think he was 24 seven champion but not too many people are a fan of that championship and since WWE is not using him I really hope that he does not resign with the WWE in the future I'm actually hoping he goes to all elite wrestling or goes back to TNA because he can be an all elite star if he puts his mind to it and he's done it in the past WWE just missed out on this incredible opportunity next is Mike and Maria now I believe they resigned their current contracts months ago however WWE just released them now I know they had an issue with their contract they were thinking of jumping ship they did last year ask for their release and that might be part of why WWE decided to release them but I'm pretty sure WWE re-signed them a new contract but now just out of the blue released them to me that makes no sense they should have just released them back then now they ended up having to re-sign them and release them now makes no sense they're not really being used in the WWE the right way anyways so I'm happy that they are going because hopefully they get to pursue other opportunities with other companies next up is No Way Jose now I predict this back in January I'm actually happy to see him go unfortunately I know that sucks but company wise in NXT when he was there for years he didn't do much at all he was a party gimmick that was really interesting I wasn't behind it at all next is Sarah Logan which is going to cause some kind of conflict with the Viking Raiders I believe further down the line because she is married to one of the Viking Raiders I know she was part of the Riot Squad and that has been split up for a while now she hasn't been used kind of makes sense for her to be released but to have a really good tag team in my opinion having their wife one of their wives get released from the company I think there's going to be some conflict there next is going to be Rowan this is one that I knew Luke Harper when he got released it was going to be very interesting to see what happens with Rowan Rowan was teaming with Daniel Bryan at one time they became the tag team champions that was really cool gimmick in my opinion then whenever he went solo it was very interesting he is a bigger guy but in my opinion he's kind of injury prone so I don't know if he's going to get picked up at a top place or what he's going to do now that he's been released from the wwe I just don't see him coming back to the wwe what I would like to see is him go to all elite wrestling and potentially be teaming with uh Harper once again in his alliance in all elite wrestling I think that'd be very interesting now that he's gone he could do I just don't know what else he could possibly do next up is Eric Young he was a beast in tna he started off in tna as kind of a Santino Morella vibe where it was kind of a comedy wrestling esque he eventually turned heel and became a world heavyweight champion and main adventure later went to end up wwe's nxt where he joined forces and was part of the group sanity they got called up to the main roster they didn't do anything they ended up splitting and the rest of sanity went their separate ways Eric Young stayed on the main roster reinvented himself kind of did like a different gimmick than sanity was but they haven't done much so in my opinion I hope he goes back to tna or all elite wrestling or ring of honor I think he could be a great star there but wwe just wasn't using him the next one for me is the most shocking and it's one that saddens me that he got released and that is Heath Slater the last member of the nexus that was signed to the wwe and still signed to the wwe this june would have marked 10 years being on the main roster so it sucks that he got released it makes sense and I actually predicted this back in January that he would get released it just sucks because he is such a loving guy he puts his heart into it and he does stuff outside of the wwe for the wwe so he's so dedicated to the company it's just he can't get a push one thing that I think would be interesting is if he comes back like gender mahal and uh drew mac and tire did where they left the company for a few years beefed up and came back to become a world champion I feel like he might do that I don't know if it worked out but I'd be on board if he did and I really hope to see that happen and see this be his motivation to make a return for the wwe for the championship now that would be epic to see him do it just like gender mahal did and just like drew mac and tire did as well so it sucks to see him go but I can't wait to see what he will do next if he's going to do that or sign with a new company next is a tag team that I don't understand they had a match at rassomania they did good at rassomania they've been getting a push former champions and that is carol anderson and luke gallows it's kind of shocking because they're still with aj styles or were with aj styles with their team but now all of a sudden they got released that is the most shocking to me because I don't know what wwe is thinking to me they're a top tag team they could go on to do incredible things they could go on to be the tag team champions a dominant force they have a huge thing with aj styles right now who is the incredible I just don't see why they did it it makes to me no absolute sense so I see them jumping ship I don't see them coming back to the wwe in my opinion they've been here since 2016 being released now I see them going to all elite wrestling that's my prediction for them I think they're going to be beast over there and I hope they do jump ship and don't come back just because I think they can do bigger things in a different company next is drake maverick who posted an emotional video online after his release now I really wish he was used differently in the wwe but it's interesting to see what's going to happen now maybe he'll go back to tna or maybe he'll do other things but I really wish wwe used him a little bit more next up is Zach Ryder and Kurt Hawkins former tag team champions back in the day they became the raw tag team champions months ago maybe a year ago now I can't remember I think it was at last year's WrestleMania they became champions they did incredible stuff they Kurt Hawkins made his comeback after 200 plus losses in a row he finally won with Zach Ryder and teamed up with him again they do other things collecting videos for the wwe outside of the ring so this was shocking to me I really wish wwe just put them down into nxt and had them compete in the tag team division in nxt I think that would honestly have been epic but instead they just got released so I kind of hoped more for them but I want to see what they're going to do next and what they're going to go for next is Rusev which he's the last wrestler that is released as of right now other than nxt wrestlers that is on my list but it's the most saddening I know there's conflict with his contract and he wanted to resign but wwe ended up just releasing him Lena however is still signed with the wwe so I wonder how that's going to go I think she's going to be released as well in the next wave if they do have another wave because I think Rusev is way better than Lana to have Lana and release Rusev that's shocking that makes no sense Rusev could have been pushed a little bit more he could be world champion he could be a really dominant force wwe just wanted to use him as a joke to try to get him to sign back and then ended up just releasing him that's me is the worst one of somebody that has potential that just got released other than all this that got released there is a few producers now I'm not going to list them all just because some of them I don't actually know who they are but also they didn't release the full list of producers I actually had to do some research to see who got released so the four that I'm going to share today are Billy Kidman Sean Daivari Shane the Hurricane Helms who I'm a fan of those three guys I think they did great work Daivari and Shane Helms just came maybe a little over a year ago and they started doing producer work for the wwe to get released not too long after makes absolutely no sense also Lance Storm got released as a producer and he's just been a producer for maybe three or four months for the wwe so that was really really short for him just to come to the wwe just to get released months later and also a long time producer for the wwe thinly has been released to me that's the most shocking producer that has been released I didn't expect him to be released because he's been a producer for the wwe for many many years I want to say maybe close to if I had to guess 10 to 12 years now that's a long time to be a producer for the wwe just to be released so as of right now this is everybody that has been released from the wwe I am going to try to keep you guys updated if I can with anybody else that gets released maybe I'll share the nxt guys that got released or if there is a second wave of releases that comes out very soon I'll make another video for that but these were my thoughts on why wwe has done these releases and done so many releases and also everybody that has been released so it is sad to see everybody go I'm hoping after this pandemic is over most of them do get signed back to the wwe and if there is a second wave those guys do as well but some of these guys that got released I see them whenever this pandemic is over moving on to other companies and doing greater and better things in those companies than they did in the wwe because maybe they were not getting pushed in the wwe so I hope you guys enjoyed this video I hope everybody does well in their future endeavors that has been released I'm going to leave this video here please take care peace


And each of us our main purpose is to forgive. It's our only purpose. It's found on that word, because I think there's a whole lot more to it. Well, forgiveness, when I've been asked about the question, when you first, a lot of times when you first work with a chorus, you'll notice in the workbook he has like lessons where he'll say, picture someone you have a grievance against or something, you know, and he'll say, you probably have thought of him now and then, you know, surround your friend in life and then transfer the life to one you, whom you call a friend. So, he's actually got like guided visualization exercises right in the chorus that are helpful. I would call those more introductory. I mean, I think that if you really get into the chorus and you really start to say, what is forgiveness really, you know, that you start to see other things. For instance, he'll say, you forgive your brother for what he has not done to you. Not for what he has. That's not the way Ego sees it. Ego says, I've got it right here, black and white. He frowned at me first. He screened me. He called me names and he walked out. You know, there's the memory. There's the visual memory. That's a sin. Now, and it's true. The Ego says, face it. It's true. He did it. He did it. There's no denying it.  Now, basically, the Ego's forgiveness is to forgive what's true. So, here's this perception, you know, what somebody did to us and everything. And basically, the Ego kind of says, dresses it up because I'm a good course student. You know, because I'm elevated in spirituality, I was the kindest of my heart. Even though you don't deserve it. I'm able to forgive you. And Jesus kind of says, get off it. You're kind of like, have not forgiven this at all. That's the Ego's version of forgiveness. Forgive your brother for what he has not done. Now, that takes, you know, you really got to get into the metaphysics of the course. That's where this whole thing being in a projection and being illusion is really important. Because what I can't stand to look in my own mind and see, I project out in the form of a behavior. In other words, these attack thoughts that we're holding in our minds, we project out and we call forth witnesses to bring to us exactly what we think. So, if we are thinking guilty thoughts and we're thinking these attack thoughts we'll call forth witnesses and we'll see proof, you know. So, you can see where forgiveness in the end comes down to letting go of the attack thoughts. That's lesson number 23. I can escape from what I see by giving up attack thoughts. And that's as clear as you can. After he sets the groundwork on the first 22, he really comes through with that. Another thing is forgiveness is described, we've already talked about how there's, I call them forward thoughts or real thoughts in our mind, which is the Holy Spirit's thoughts. Your mind is very powerful, the Holy Spirit says. You're very powerful and your mind is causative. And the backward thoughts are, I'm a little victim in this big world and I'm teeny and I'm a hopeless victim, helpless. And those are backward thoughts. So, the more we get real clear what forgiveness really is, is just turning cause and effect around in our mind. So, we let go of all the backward thoughts and all we retain are the thoughts of the Holy Spirit. And that's been our peace. So, the other thing too about it is it seems to be a process. And I would say that as you work with the Course, it seems to be one of the most deeply rooted beliefs is the belief in linear time. So, as long as that belief is way down there, we'll say that's on the first floor of the World Trade Center. As long as that belief is anchored down there, it's going to seem like it's going to take time to do this. Now, the whole basis of the Course is to start to see that all, the Master Switch shows that all of the branches of the tree or all the floors in the World Trade Center are identical. You know, they're just different fragments of the same ego belief. As long as we believe that they're different and that some concepts and beliefs are like we were saying earlier are more valuable than others are important. That is like, I'll hold a few back from the Holy Spirit and it seems like I'll go through the tree and say, I'll give you this one, this one, this one, this one. This one, this one. As long as we retain some beliefs, it's kind of like saying that we want to hold onto some illusions. And the truth can't be reconciled with illusions at all. Jesus at one point in the Course is pretty late so as you will learn this Course entirely or not at all. It makes sense, you know, why He's so non-compromising. He knows that if there's a hundred branches on the tree and we give up 99, we're still not going to be at peace because we'll still have one quick dangling down there. You know, He's saying it just takes one complete instant. So that's really what the Course of Miracles is. It seems like a process, but the deeper you get into it, the more you see that you can recognize these backwards and forward thoughts and you say, all the backward thoughts, I don't want any of them. You know, I don't want one of them and then that's where the release takes place. So that's kind of a deeper way of looking at forgiveness than just kind of like, well, I'll say I'm sorry or I'll make amends or, you know, something at a stand level. What does David Hofmeister's mind do all day? I watch. I mean, how do you perceive the world? What do you think about it? Well, there's a quote, I was going through the Course today and there was a quote that I found on Teachers of God and this was one that really resonated with me because this is kind of how it feels for me a lot. But it says, Awareness of dreaming is the real function of God's teachers. They watch the dream figures come and go, shift and change, suffer and die. Yet they are not deceived by what they see. They recognize that to behold a dream figure as sick and separate is no more real than to regard it as healthy and beautiful. Unity alone is not a thing of dreams and it is this God's teachers acknowledge has behind the dream, beyond all seeming and gets surely theirs. That's really kind of what it comes down to more. It becomes like a natural detachment because they've talked about the Zen, the Buddhist and the Yogi's and everything and talked about a state of detachment. But the only thing about a lot of the past of the world is they've talked about you've got to do this, these rituals, meditate 14 hours a day and sit this way and hold your hands this way and this and that. And the Course is basically saying all you have to do is hold on to the purpose of forgiveness and let go of these false beliefs and you will become detached. It's not like you're detached from the forms per se but you're detached from your desire to judge the forms. Because as soon as I judge something's good and something's bad, then I make the world real. It can't be an equally illusory world if part of it's good and part of it's bad and see how that kind of denies that the world is an illusion if I do that. And so it can seem at times too that people can say, what about things like likes and dislikes and opinions? Well, pretty soon you cease to have an opinion if you cease to take sides on issues because you can see the foolishness of opinions and judgments in taking sides. People will say, but what about things like preferences? How do you live in this world without preferences? But it's like they start to fade. It's not like that they've yanked away. That was my old way of approaching things. It's kind of like if you had desires and it seemed to be so powerful instead of wrestling with them the more you stay focused on your purpose it's like they start to dry up and then you can flick them off like some dandruff instead of wrestling and battling with them which is the way it seems for a lot of us that when anybody has been in addictions in any way, shape or form that's sort of what it comes down to. Judgment is our only addiction and really all we have to do is give up judgment and everything else will take care of itself. That's good news. So do you just clear your mind and just be or just watch things as they go by and don't get involved in them or what? It's not so much passive in the sense that the Holy Spirit can work through us and a lot of times I think with a lot of the eastern approach people think of detachment and wrestling in your mind is just sitting there and not doing anything and in the very, very, very ultimate sense if you read the section in the Course called I need do nothing that's literally what it comes down to in the end when you've given up your judgments and there's nothing else to pursue then you can sink down into the light go down into the basement that you literally need to do nothing that's the happy realization that's the end but for the mind it's not trained and it's too afraid to go down into the basement there then what happens is you get onto this purpose and then the thing that you would most want to do to come to your mind from a place of non-investment then you do it just comes down to mind watching and there are times in the Course where you can say search your mind there are other times where you say don't search just let the thoughts bubble up and when they do and if I start to feel a little out of piece or whatever I do what's your name? Jim I do what Jim talked about is I bring it back to my identity attachment in other words I try to trace the the string or the cord back into my mind and what happens is when I really do that whenever I'm feeling a little out of source it's because it has something to do with this personhood identity not with my abstract mind but with my identification with this person so that's helpful too as soon as I can see it I can say oh boy oops and once you've looked at it then it's out of there Steve, so do you analyze what it is or you just notice that it's there and then you just give it out for a while? I don't think analyzing is I think at the beginning I used to do that but what happens with analyzing and analyzing is kind of breaking apart and what happens is the more I get into the Course the more it's like is it backwards or forward? if it's backwards oops you see that takes the analysis out of it if I'm starting to try to find oh compare this branch to this branch you can see how you can get it it can be amusing to the ego to start doing that so it's more of just like backwards and forward covered a lot of ground in there you talk a little bit in relation to health but that's always a big thing for everybody I think sometimes it's you know it is for me to try to walk my way through my feelings about it you know that fears if you get over of being sick you know and I know you know I know the theory as far as the body and all that you know but there just seems to be sometimes a space between theory and applications that you know I'm and I believe that that you know there's a point at which I wouldn't have any questions you know but sometimes you're still back in that area where you have questions and you know maybe someone maybe someone else is very ill or he's dying I try to figure this out you know in my thinking that you know in the coursework and everything but it seems to me there shouldn't be illness because that's of the mind again you know there shouldn't be that and then when you see it and you see someone die then it's very hard to reconcile that you know and you know that they were seemingly in the world at least a very right thinking person you know then in a period of years you know this is from the teacher's manual on how our healing and atonement related basically it's the one third paragraph where it basically says the idea that a body can be sick is a central concept in the ego's thought system so the idea that a body can be sick is a central concept in the ego's thought system and it seems that way in this world I mean it's a common accepted thing that symptoms are seen in that that a body is sick but he's just saying once again it's an idea this thought gets the body autonomy separates it from the mind and keeps the idea of attack in violence if the body could be sick atonement would be impossible a body that can order a mind to do as it sees fit could merely take the place of God and prove salvation is impossible so there's a question about the levels and believing that there's something causative down here at the world of form because I mean that's literally the way that the deceit mind sees things I mean it just still takes something simple like germs we've grown up we've learned that there's certain things that carry germs you know, roaches carry germs and if you leave food out and you know in the bathroom if you don't wash your hands or so and so forth you know the basic view of course is that that's how one gets the flu or cold is through germs they even study it through sneezes in the air but you see how the whole thing is basically saying that there's something that's happening on the screen that these germs are coming and somehow getting into this body and that's giving the body the flu or whatever you can see how it still doesn't jive with what the course is saying only the mind can be sick and that when the mind is sick it thinks that it's made up a self-concept that's different than the spirit it thinks that it's this teeny little self and not only that it wants to be right about this little self I'm unique I'm special I'm important


It can be a huge expense and for some of us who have to pay for that on their own, we need to see the ROI before we start forking over the dough. I'm talking about membership in a professional association in the meetings and events industry. Stick around. Hey friends, it's Leanne and I recently received the renewal notice and invoice for one of my professional membership associations. And it's really at this time of year that I start to think about the ROI that I'm getting for all the money that I shallow for this professional membership. And at one point I actually did let one of my membership slaps. I did not see the ROI in the professional association. Now I have come back and since renewed my membership and I am seeing some ROI again, but it's important to do this checklist of benefits that you should be getting from your professional association. Because if you're not seeing the ROI, it is a lot of money to spend that can potentially be spent somewhere else. So today we're going to talk about some of the reasons that you should join a professional membership association. And of course some of the benefits you should be getting in return or else the ROI isn't there. So let's go through that list together. Benefit number one is networking.  We are in an industry that people meet face to face and business gets done. Meetings mean business. And so meeting face to face and networking with people in our industry is what we're all about. If you're not meeting people or having opportunity to network with people in your association, then maybe this isn't the right association for you. It's definitely a benefit and one of the biggest indicators of your ROI. Number two is education. And I did a blog post not too long ago about all the professional development options that meeting planners have. And you can find a link to that blog post in the description for this video. And as you go through that blog post, you may notice that a lot of those education elements can be offered through a professional association, be it webinars, magazines, online education, conferences, local events. An association will put out a lot of that content. So if you're not getting education in some way, shape or form from your membership association, then maybe it's not the right membership association for you because you need to be getting some education and need to be learning some skills through that portal. Benefit number three is recognition. And I don't think this gets recognized enough. When a professional membership association recognizes you for the things that you're doing above and beyond in your job, the volunteering that you're doing, that goes a long way for you to open new doors to new opportunities, meet new people. It feeds into your personal brand. There's a lot that goes with recognition and professional membership associations should be recognizing their members. And if they're doing a good job of it, then you need to recognize that as a big benefit of being a part of that community. Benefit number four are volunteer opportunities. Now you may think a professional membership association needs volunteers, but really it's us who needs to volunteer. We need a place to maybe exercise skills that we can exercise at work every day, meet new people, meet like-minded people as we work on a project together. For some of us who work on our own, sometimes volunteer committees are the only team project work that we get to do. So we really need those volunteer opportunities versus the association needing us to volunteer.  So make sure you look at ways that you can volunteer and give back to your association. And benefit number five are career opportunities. And the four above benefits really feed into this one, right? So you're looking at meeting new people, you're looking at learning new skills, being recognized for your efforts and volunteering. And all of those go towards potential future job opportunities. You don't have to be looking for a job today to realize that you might need an open door tomorrow or a few years down the line. And your professional association will help facilitate that. So lean into those resources and into the ones, the other benefits that I mentioned, and that will help get you set up for success when you're looking for that new opportunity. I'd love to hear from you. What do you find to be the biggest benefits of belonging to a professional membership association? Will you comment below this video and share it with the community? I hope these benefits have helped you weigh the ROI of your professional membership association. And again, another benefit is having all of those great events. Steven and I keep a calendar of industry events on our newsletter and to be a part of our newsletter distribution, simply go on over to our website at conference source.net, find a contact, get in touch with us and sign up for our newsletter. Alternatively, if you download our events trends resource, you get added to the bi-weekly newsletter that way as well. Here's hoping I see you out soon at an industry event. Thanks for watching this week's video. Have a great week. Bye for now.


Adam Schefter is tweeting Bangles quarterback Joe Burrow who underwent reconstructive left knee surgery in December is all systems go. Congrats on Joe for the rehab pal. It's Joe E.B. Not easy, hey, this is a part of the sport. People have to rehab me nowhere near what others have had to do, but this is a part of the game. Rehab is a part of being in the NFL. That is not an easy feat. Congratulations on successfully getting through that rehab, Joe.


You can build a prop replica of Link's Ultra Hand from the Legend of Zelda, Tears of the Kingdom. We were inspired by Link's new ability to make a 3D printed prop that uses LED noodles.  The LEDs wrap around the arm band to resemble the ability's effect like in the game.  We made two different sizes to fit both human-sized hylians and smaller players alike. The arm band has three LED noodles powered by a 9V battery while the palm uses a single LED noodle powered by a coin-cell battery. The LED noodles are pretty bright compared to EL wire and it's even viewable during the day. Get the parts to build your own Ultra Hand from the Adafruit shop. We 3D printed the parts in copper PLA filament that looks great without having to do any post-processing. You can modify the open-source design in CAD for a precise fit. Just update the sketches to have the parametric model update so you can make an exact fitting prop. Start by soldering together the LED noodles in series with the cathode connecting to the anode. Be sure to check out the guide on the Adafruit learning system for a full step-by-step tutorial. This current limiting resistor is soldered to the ground wire of a JST connector for a plug-and-play assembly. The LED noodles are press-fitted into the built-in channels on the outside of the arm band. This joint was soldered at a right angle to accommodate the design of the channel. The wider channels allow the noodles to band on itself for a tight fit. Hot glue secures the JST cable to the inside of the arm band to keep it concealed. A separate mounting plate is secured with screws for the 9V battery holder. We'll need to replace this battery's DC jack with the JST cable so we can plug it into the wired LED noodles. Then we can place the battery holder onto the mount and snap-fit the cover over the holder to make it blend in with the prop. The battery holder features an on-off slide switch to power it on. The palm section only needs a single LED noodle with the ends fitting through the notch. Secure the coin-sealed battery mount and fit the battery holder into place with the snap-fit cover placed on top. Solder the battery cables to the noodles pins with an inline resistor. Remember to add heat shrink tubing to insulate those connections. Elastic straps or rubber bands can be used to keep the prop secure to your arm and your palm. Now you can use the slide switch to power it on. We had a lot of fun putting this one together and hope it inspires you to check out LED noodles for your next light-up prop.
