Hello there, it's Sandy and I'm going to show you several easy masking techniques for stamped watercolor. And this is the art impressions stamp set that's called Vegetables. I was hoping there was going to be a really big pumpkin. I wanted a big pumpkin and there wasn't a big pumpkin so there are tiny ones, all kinds of vegetables. This tree I haven't used yet, this Bible journaling tree is a really tall one and the door I thought would be kind of fun to make a mystery scene. There's not going to be a building behind it, it's just going to be the door into the forest, the door into nothing. And I'm applying some Tombow marker, some brown and some gray onto the door itself and then wiping off the corners. That is one really easy masking technique.  That's all. Super easy to do. So I've pressed the door down and I want a reflection of the door in the water down below because I'm going to do some very simple water. And I'm going to, I wiped off the top and bottom again, more of that simple wipe off technique. And I've got just the window, I only pressed that window portion so I could get a bare reflection there. And then it's just a matter of doing the pumpkins and turning them in different directions, et cetera. Same technique for them is to just color them with the markers. And I'm using some sticky notes for masking and these are not cut out fancy sticky notes. I just tore chunks of them and covered up most of the area that I didn't want to stamp in. And it was really easy to mask that way without having to stamp it, cut out all the way around and fussy cut the image, et cetera. I also wanted a moon in the sky. So I debated whether I would just draw one with a pencil and I thought, you know, that's going to take time to erase it. So I'm just going to cut one out of some masking paper, some eclipse tape, and then just paint the sky itself. I'm using Kansan XL watercolor paper because I tell people it's better for new people who are getting into stamped watercolor to use Kansan XL marker will move a little bit easier on it. But boy is it a hot mess when you're trying to do a background like this. Just getting it so that there weren't blossoms and stuff in it. It's just nearly impossible. But you know, it is what it is. So I just used an overall gray that I was that I had scribbled onto my piece of scrap acetate and use that as a palette. And I'll do the same thing here. Use it as a palette to paint the pumpkins in gray. This is going to be a very monochromatic kind of card. I don't do many spooky cards, and I was thinking this would be really cool if it was very dark black. It was really rich, really contrasty, and this paper just doesn't do it. The combination of markers with the Kansan XL, you'll just never get it to be dark unless you use a different medium with it. So if you want to get that kind of a look, then use a different medium. But nonetheless, I was this far, so I wanted to keep going, painted the overall color of the water first, and then wanted everything to dry because I needed to stamp the trees and I needed them to stamp on something really dry. So again, I'm going to use the same masking technique.  So masking, I know a lot of people think of it as really hard, but it's just a matter of thinking of what area is in the front, and then anything that's in the back gets pushed to the back by being masked out of the things that are in the front of it. So it just doesn't show through those things. So next up is really simple, it's just doing the painting portion of Art Impressions watercolor, just applying water right over top of the stamped ink that's here, so that's the only color that's ending up in the trees. You could of course take more from your faux palette and add more to the trees. And then for the water, I just made some lines that get thick and thin, so it looks like it's a little bit shimmery. I wanted the ground to get really dark and I was having trouble getting that to happen. And with the whole thing, I wanted it to be more contrasty. You guys know me in contrast. I will add some more contrast in my final step later though, because I just couldn't handle it. I just wanted to do more. So I got out a pen, and I got out a Micron pen. Pens work really well in Canson XL because the paper is smooth. That's why it doesn't work great for watercolor, because watercolor likes having that texture, so it will move along the texture of the paper. So the flip side of that though is that any kind of doodling portion that you do on Canson XL is going to work great. So I decided to add on more branches on my trees up above and then down here at the bottom I just darkened the land by doing some horizontal lines to increase the contrast in that. And then I looked for other places where the stamping got soft, because when you use as much water as I do, when you do your stamped watercolor, you'll lose some lines here and there, but it's real easy to add them back in, especially since I had all this other line work on the image. It was one whole picture that felt like it was drawn with lines rather than stamped. And then I added some stars to the sky, which I think turned out looking more like snow. So I think I made a combination winter slash fall card. I'm not really sure. You can be the judge. You can let me know in the comments down below if you find that to be a winter card instead of a fall one since I added the white dots to it. Anyway, I wanted to let you know there's also over on my blog, a whole collection of all of my art impressions stamped watercolor stuff over there, so you can go check that out. There's also all the jumpstart classes on sale during the month of September because it's back to school time. So if you've wanted to take up a new medium, this would be an excellent time to do something like that because you can get a discount. I will see you guys later. Have a great week and I'll see you on the flip side.


Hello, and welcome to my channel. My name is Christian Heer, and today we're going to have some fun asking some questions on the chatbot AIs. So I want to ask Google Bard open at chatGPT and bang AI chatbot to see if they can write a piece of Python code. Now only that, I'm going to ask them to also fix a tiny bug which I want to introduce into the same code that they provided and see what they can do. OK, so the question I want to ask them is as follows. Let's go and take a look. I'm going to ask each of them to write a recursive function in Python that will compare two lists of integers and returns only the list that has the least gap between the elements. So for example, I have N1 and N2 here. And the missing numbers, as you can see, those will determine the gaps. And this example, N1 should have the least gaps, so N1 should be returned. OK, so for bang chatbot, the open AI and Google Bard. So let's head over and ask them this question. I'm going to copy this first, so I don't have to retight this. And let's see what they can do for us. Let's give me a second here. Let me share my screen. So here is bang. I'm going to go and pick the one that says very precise. OK, I want to be as precise as possible. So let me ask first if you can write me a code. Hi, can you write Python code? And let's see what it says. Hopefully, yes. Still waiting. OK, great. OK, so I'm going to paste the question right here and see what it says. And then OK, great. Looks good. OK, a bit long. OK, let's give it a test. OK, I'm going to go and copy this. And then I'm going to go right into the chat over here. And let's test this is the bang chatbot. OK, so I'll put it right up here. I'm going to rename the function just to the underscore. OK, let's give it a try and see if this is. Oh, no, that's not correct. Actually, I'm going to change the name to my down here. All right, so let's give it a run. And OK, you got a really strange answer here. It probably made me misunderstood my question. But if you turn the wrong answer, OK, maybe it wasn't clear or something. And I'm going to see if it can fix that. OK, it's not giving the right answer. And so let's give it another spin over here. Where is Bing? Yeah, there you go. And I'm going to say, can you revise it? All right, so it's going to try to do that. I don't know if it's the same or not. It appears to be much shorter than before, as you can see. But much shorter, let's give it a try. OK, so now let's copy this and go back to the IDE. And so I'm going to comment this out now. And we'll leave this as this. We're coming this out. We'll close this and we'll add a new one right below it. So this is the new one, the same function name, I guess. Good. All right, so let's see if it's correct this time. Looks to be working fine. Yeah, much shorter. And it is giving me what I wanted. So just to be sure, this is the second one here. OK, let me clear the console here again. Run one more time. And we did prove that this is the smaller of the gap.  No, let's make this a 20. Then the smaller should be the other one. OK, so let's try again. Great, so OK, good. Finally got it at the second attempt. Let's go ask the same question to the other bots. OK, I'm going to ask the same question. We call this, copy that, and let's head over to a Google box for me, open AI. So again, I can you write Python code? And yes, oh, this is pretty quick. This response is very fast. OK, here's the same question. Yeah, very fast compared to Bing AI. OK, it includes comments as well. I guess is just as long as the other one. And it provides some explanation as well. Pretty interesting. OK, it says that assume inputs are valid and contain only integers. OK, we got that. So good, let's go and give this code a test. It's going to copy that. It's going to head over to the IDE. And now let's switch over to chatbot. So right here, we'll copy the function. It's got total gap. Replace it down here. All right, so let's give it a try and see what happens. There we go. Do run, try again. OK, it's probably had the wrong one, sorry. Least gap. That's my bad. Try again, let's clear the console. All right, so you can see it does understand what I was asking, and it did provide the correct answer as I expected. Let's test this again. Let's put a, let's make this the larger one. OK, I'm going to put here like a 20. Now that second should be the larger one. Let's run one more time. OK, so I think that's the correct one. So let's make this a 10.  OK, good. Let's make this a 8. All right. Yeah, so it is working as expected. Good for chat GPT. Now let's go try Google BARD and see what happened. So let's go over back to Google BARD. I'm going to switch over to this side. Assessing question, hi. Can you write code or Python code? And OK, it's thinking. So you can see it's a little bit slower as well. OK, you can write Python code, different Twitter. OK, good. You can also write complex code. Great, that's the same question. And see what happens. I'm shocked. OK, says I'm not trained for coding yet, so I can't help with that right now. Interesting. OK, it says it can write complex Python code, but I guess it's not as complex as a function. Let's ask to write something really simple. Write a function in Python to sort a list of unordered number. See if you can write that. OK, I'm very disappointed actually. Can't write a code, but claiming that it could actually write code, maybe a very simple one. Write a Python script to sort a list of unordered numbers. Maybe. Let's see if we can do that. OK, I'm shocked that Google BARD doesn't even can do that for me. So, well, that was a disappointment for Google BARD. It was not able to provide a code at all. It would be just a simple sorting algorithm. So that's unfortunate. Maybe in the future. But now the next thing I want to do is I'm going to give them back the same code. And I'm going to introduce a tiny syntax error in the bug in the code and see if they can detect and fix that for me. OK, so let's go back and see what we can do here. I'm going to just put an extra parentheses right here. This is a syntax error. I'm going to go back and copy this code and give it back to Bing and see what it can do. So let's go back to Bing. I'm going to say, can you? My code has an error. Or I'd be more specific, a syntax error. Can you tell me? See if you understand. Hopefully you would ask me for the code. OK, so here is the code. And let's see if we can find that for us. Wow. I'm impressed. Yeah, it defined the parentheses here. And it fixed that by removing that extra parentheses there. So this is very good. I'll give it a thumbs up. Good job on that one. OK, let's go and do the same thing for opening AI. Let's go back to its quest. It's the same code. And I'm going to copy its code. And so do the same thing. I'm going to do it's much longer, but let's put it in the same thing here. OK, yeah, here. Or let's do it right up here. I guess right here. OK, so I'm going to copy this code. And try again. Make sure I copy it right. Copy this code. And let's go back to chatGPT. All right, so here we go. I'm going to say my code has a syntax error. And you help me. OK, so here it is. Yeah, it got it too. This time looks good. It did find that there's an extra closing parentheses before the plus right here. Very precise. And it did fix that line for me as it should. So very good. Compare that to the other one. I think they're both equally good in this part. OK, so what do you think? What's your favorite? What do you like about it? So let's look at Bing first. OK, the first was a little bit slow when I asked the question. It provided the solution. And the first solution was actually not correct. Not that what I wanted. Maybe you didn't understand my question correctly. Maybe I wasn't being clear. But the second round, it actually produced a really good answer. The code is much, much shorter. It's actually working correctly. And then when I introduced the bug, it was able to fix it right away, too. So awesome for that one. ChatGPT was very, very fast. That was my first impression. I asked right away, and it starts showing the question right away, typing the solution. Not only that, the code itself has some comments or documentation. And it also explains what's going on inside the function as well. It was also able to detect the error and also fix it right away. I think the response was actually called my attention. Google Bard was very disappointed, actually. At first, I asked if you could write Python code. It said yes. You could also write complex Python code. So it said, so I introduced the question. It was not able to do that. So it basically adds another very simple question just to do a function to sort a list of arrays. It was not able to do that. Then I just asked it to write a loop. I mean, yeah, basically a loop to sort an array. It was not able to do that at all. So I guess it's still have a lot of catching up to do for Google Bard. So in my opinion, the winner is basically OpenAI ChatGPT. So tell me what's your favorite. And if there's anything that you'd like me to test, any comments you have, please let me know in the comment below. Thank you and have a wonderful day.

I don't think so awkward a 199 shame the clan of hand for the rays I think this year's rikki class is better Yeah, there's a lot more in this rookie class refractor judge yankees And it's all because of cozy So last year was j-rod wit j-rod wanya franco purple to 250 akunya for the braves God the the top end of it is is just as good, but this year has more depth All right purple akunya. We got an orange rikki auto shea langaliers a's 18 to 25 nice color Here we go a's Yeah, like j-rod adley wit josh jung, you know walker Yeah, carol yoshida total gorenado I feel like there's a lot more solid pieces in this rookie class than last year's I think that's the difference is like the depth is there trout refractor gunner henderson. There's a lot more guys in this rookie class that are going to be In starting positions or impact positions for a while I think j-rod has the highest like face of like the league potential out of both classes though if that makes sense Blue refractor to 150 yordan alvarez ashtra. It's not saying he will be that but he's that like Outfielder that is really good defensively super fast hits the ball super hard. So dude, that's That's that that's a killer dude. I'm sorry man. Aqua blue to 250 chris brian rakis Yeah, I would take I would take wit over vulpe Like regardless of how they're playing right now or whatever I'd still take him over vulpe just based on like prospect profiles and everything alone Which just like that good Refractric and fordomets part of the vulpe hype is he's a Yankee shortstop And it's the first one they've developed in forever That's true. Hey, because I'll even agree with that because like literally what's what's better Then yeah, like now And I think vulpe was developed into a good player. Yes, but is he gonna be what's level? He's like the jeremy paniel level ricky refractor auto-servin for the rapese very dependable strong player To have around but like but probably doesn't have that superstar. Yeah All star. Yes machado refractor. Yeah, so yeah I mean adley is probably the best true baseball player out of anybody in the past your classes like the best baseball player But overall he's a catcher Wanderer might be the second best overall baseball player outside of that I Although carol's nasty carol is just filthy. I feel like wander has still has that high I feel like he has the hardest one in the jeremy. He's got a high floor too. Like he doesn't like his slumps are kind of like Oh, he's hitting like 240 I don't know man. It's very good A couple of rookie rookie classes though. I'll take 23 overall sky blue to 300 yard on astros Like there's more teams that are higher priced this year in pyc's than I think there were last year So I think that that kind of tells the tale Valle Ruiz greener factor to 99 J rod for the mariners corbin carol That also might be because a lot of the good rookies last year weren't until like updates Well, yeah, it's like top like products didn't feel really good until the end of the year if you're a factor while the chuck a's That's probably Everything got pushed toward me and then obviously wonders as she was just ray green wave rookie auto max castillo to 99 for the uh royals there Yeah, it really is just the death you like the box price for 22 are going to be very healthy for like, you know The updates and like all that stuff that have those big guys in them Rookie refractor fujinami for the a's Right. Yeah, even it seemed like the a's is good this year because you have they have like six rookies And some of them are pretty solid or have decent floors Like it's not like you get there or like the rockies and like oh man Because they still have some decent rookies like tovar and stuff so Tawny headliners like Ruiz and like budae and Mm-hmm purple to 250 yard on alvarez astros. Yeah, I wonder has that high ceiling I don't know if they'll ever have like the lineup to make it look like he's having like great He like he's he might not ever have like the counting stats there refractor bachette lujes Oh, really rory Nice and aqua shimmered short and walker to 175 cardinals If you mentioned him in this his ceiling is super high I don't know why but I like going over here For just like a player for the cardinals kunya for the cardinal Or just like the overall hype around them That's probably really it. No, uh refractor mclannahand rookie refractor auto canonsmith and jig but for the pirates because even seems like Pirates have rookies the nationals have a good of good few rookies Phillies don't really have good rookies, but you still have like we saw that harper last chrome case So they still have that like that vet chase So I feel as we don't combo and chrome because you saw last case It's a long shot, but it's it's still a shot Yeah, those uh, I saw some someone show me their hits from the the top's national packs from like soccer and they were nice I was like, oh man, like the wrapper redemption stuff. I was like, I wish I would have paid attention to that stuff Headliners ripkin gunner base for some volpe base purple to 250 vato for the reds What's up the obsidian if you refractor paraza yankees Nine to go obsidian case two everybody Case one is next obsidian soccer just released today World's finest auto to 99 wander franco That's a team that doesn't have good rookies, but you got this guy Just talking about a 41 to 99 beautiful with the dominican flag there Very cool answer to have an auto of Congrats on that tampa bay. Yeah, you have a chrome. I like you have a chrome a lot though, rory I haven't ripped a box yet. I've been thinking about it But I've joined a lot of you a for chrome was the product I joined the most breaks of them by far Have any products so far in 2023 Walker refractor is wilson contraris codis senga World's finest louise robert rookie auto matthew baton padres Wonder what he's baton See him. We get mad if I said that one. All right. You guys ready for you guys are ready for 2024 when ellie de la cruz is a rookie and everything you're back to gorman for the for the cardinals His stuff is gonna be astronomical The reds are gonna cost like 40 of every break Pretty much headliners of cunha Chrome jumbo reds pricing like 600 a day one sky blue to 300 gold schmidt for the cardinals Rest some gear at mitchell Aqua shimmer to 175. You'll meet your fillies Yeah, I'm excited from early and I'm excited for all top soccer now after they after what I've seen recently Yeah, I'm excited. Even museum was great. It's great refractor crawford Yeah, Matt McClain too. Exactly. Yeah, they're gonna be they're gonna be Very uh Wait, well, is mclean does he have rookies and tops now or is I've seen like I don't think I've seen a rookie Is he call up in tops now? That's just to define the way easy way to tell nowadays 5 30. Oh, I I already did all the tops chrome that I did today Okay, he's called. Okay. Okay. Want to make sure?

Welcome my name is Dylan Schumacher Just two weeks ago. I was promised that this was a temporary order. We're gonna have a sunset provision There's a no penalty clause. We've got to do something and now we are here two three weeks ago And we already want to extend this until March and I wonder how long before we do the same bait and switch with the no penalty clause This council of red coats is an exact in is an excellent example of why we used to tar and feather people in this country a body of petty tyrants who want to overstep their bounds the Trampling of individual civil rights to legislate its way out of a virus is a short-sighted inept and dim-witted as it sounds We have a virus with a 99% survival rate, which to my knowledge no virus anywhere has ever obeyed the laws that men make Yet we're trying to fix this with ink and high-minded deliberations If lockdowns and masks are effective Then why is every state that has had lockdowns had to re-issue them if masks were why in Minnesota where they've had mask mandates for months? Are they still having spiking in cases? I? Moved to this state specifically to avoid this kind of problem And I can't believe that I have to be the one to tell you this but part of your job is to protect my rights This is America. We have a body of government that derives its power from the consent of the government Part of your job is to form my protect my rights to life my rights liberty and my rights to happiness and Yet the cowardly rhetoric that I often hear when I when I watch the tapes back from this council is something along the lines of I believe in liberty, but in This backdoor language reveals that you have as much concern for liberties as the Tories who preceded you You can't make a law requiring face cover. I mean, yeah, we can vote on it You're gonna bang a little hammer and we're gonna write it into law. I get that But you don't have the authority. We're not serfs. We're not slaves in this country We are free citizens and we have enumerated rights that are outside of your reach. I Don't want to be here.  It's a special circumstance. It's only temporary you might please and to that I would reply that again the virus will come and go But freedom which is paid for in blood is easily lost and not soon regained And I intend with a full figure of all of my faculties to keep every ounce of liberty that's been afforded to me braver men and women than you have sacrificed more on that altar Then you could fathom and they did it to purchase what actually keeps me safe They spent it to preserve my rights and my freedoms They spent their very life blood so I could be a free man in a free nation with the free people and I would sooner join their sacrifice Then give up an iota of the precious gift that they haven't trusted us to safeguard Thank You Dylan Others would like to have input tonight


Hello everybody and welcome to TV8's annual football preview show. My name is Mike Martin and joining me as the coach Chris Wright. Chris, we have four coaches we're going to be interviewing tonight. We got a new guy and we got a Hall of Famer and a couple of regulars. Yes, of course the traditional coaches, Coach Tudis and Coach Pfeiffer from North and South respectively. And Coach Yiddish from Sheboygan Falls in a strong program. He's the Hall of Famer and Al Holsheimer has just taken over for Sheboygan Lutheran. It should be an interesting show. One of the things we're going to do during the breaks we're going to be showing the home schedules for the different teams that we're covering tonight in North, South, Sheboygan Lutheran and Sheboygan Falls. And we're also going to show our schedule for the season so make sure you're paying attention during those breaks. You're going to get some real good information. Chris, at the end of the show we're also going to do our annual predictions and if I remember correctly I think I got all mine right and you got all yours wrong. I think maybe the other way around but yeah it's always fun to kind of pick a team out of the hat and see how they do. You never know they're just kids so it's just for fun but we'll see what we can do there. I don't want to get myself in trouble like I did a couple of years ago with another season that we cover. We're going to take a short break and when we come back Chris is going to interview Al Holsheimer from Sheboygan Lutheran. Welcome back. Coach, thanks a lot for coming in. I know you're pretty busy this week with practice and first game this week. Since you're new to the football community why don't you tell us a little bit about yourself? Okay. I have a wife Michelle and three kids and I'm the principal at Emanuel Lutheran School in Sheboygan. This is my second year helping out at Sheboygan Lutheran. I spent three years at Lakeland College. It's a defensive line coach out there. And previous to that I helped out at two other high schools, one in the state and one in Illinois. So I know this was kind of late for you to get started. Job was kind of posted late and things, did that affect anything with transition or anything? Well I think it ended up, that's why I got the job. It was kind of too late to bring somebody in. I was the offensive line coach last year and I worked with coach Lynn Scalcel played football with him at Concordia, Wisconsin. And so when the opportunity came up that he left they asked if I would take over and I was able to put together a really good staff. I got two assistants that played at Lakeland as our two of our offensive coaches.  So I was able to put together a good staff which made the decision pretty easy to go ahead and do this. Well over the last few years Lutheran has basically been a power kind of running team and been pretty successful at that. What are you going to bring to the Crusader offense this fall? Well we're hoping to run the ball still. We're a little bit different formation. We're going four-wides and three-wides most of the time. The kids I brought from Lakeland are used to that type of offense and so we're spreading people out. We have a lot of quick skill kids and we're looking to get the mismatch each week and just capitalize on that. Up front we're not as strong as everybody is in the conference and so to compensate for that we have to do something a little different and take advantage of our skill positions. Well we've seen Lutheran play the last few years and there's been a lot of fun so it must be fun for the kids as well. The kids are really excited. The first scrimmage we had, we had scrimmage with the parents there, the green and gold scrimmage and the kids are really excited. The parents were excited. We went to our scrimmage last week with the three other teams and we scored the very first play of the scrimmage so that really got people excited. 40-yard touchdown pass, first play. So there is a lot of excitement right now. And on the defensive side of the ball your philosophy is? Defense level, hopefully we just told them one more time than the offense can score. We were on a 43 with a monster back and then probably a lot of cover two and cover four. Our philosophy is going to be just to attack people. Once again our sizes are a disadvantage and we're just going to try and force the issue a lot. So we're going to come after people. Has the transition been pretty good between the change of coaches with you and the players? Yes, I had a good report with the players last year and they were, from what I've heard, they were really excited about that we were taking over and we were bringing some fresh philosophies into things and so it's going to be a good change. Good to hear it. Who are some of those skill players you have? Can you name some of the young men that we might be reading about this fall or scene? Josh Binsler, he was an all area running back last year, second team. And so he's going to be quarterback for us. He's made the right reads for us. He's our backup quarterback. Ryan Schmidt graduated last year so we need somebody that had some game experience playing the position.  He's a very intelligent kid. So he's making the Blitz pickups and those things in practice and carried over in scrimmage too. TJ Radloff, he's been a sprinter, run the hurdles in the track and field and he's playing wide receiver for us and hopefully be a big play threat for us out there. Josh Korn played running back for us last year and he'll be our slot receiver and Joe Renzelman will be another wide receiver so we'll have those three guys out all the time. Tony Holm, who didn't play last year, is coming back this year. Right now he's been looking really good so far in camp and at one running back and Tyler Coleman who kicked for us and played soccer last year is going to be our other tailback. So we feel really good about our skill kids there. You say you're a little undersized on the line but who are some of these young men on the line? Eric Moldenhauer is our center. He's about 6'3, 250 and he's a senior.  Matt Brendel played fullback for us last year. He's moving to the right tackle. Matt Riesop is our left tackle, he's a junior and Kyle Bax will play the left guard. He's a senior and he's about 170.  You got some kids that can kick the ball for you? Tyler Berkicker again. He kicked the ball really well for us last year. He does a lot of directional kicking so our coverages don't have to be perfect all the time. We kind of cheat a little bit with that. So he's able to kick out of bounds and along the hashes.  I know the last few years things have been gradually getting bigger. Is that still the case? Yes, this year we had 40 kids out. In the four years they've had the program, that's the largest amount of kids they've had. We're hoping to get two or three more freshmen when school starts. There always seems to be a couple of kids that haven't figured it out the whole football season thing so we'll welcome them to come in with open arms. I had to order more equipment this year. We ran out of equipment so it was a good problem to have. It is a good problem. Lutheran's really been moving up since they started football a few years. They've been moving up to CLC. High expectations this year? We'd like to think so. We have nine returning stars on both sides of the ball. I think we learned a lot last year. We were a young team in the first varsity season and it was just a lot of new things. The reason we switched to a different offense was so we have a chance against some of the bigger schools in our conference. That's where we're hoping to be able to compete with them. Coach, thanks so much for coming in. We look forward to seeing you. I know we won't see you until the end of the year, but good luck until then. When we come back, Marty will be with Coach Yiddish from Sheboygan Falls. Joining me is Hall of Fame head coach at Sheboygan Falls, Dan Yiddish. Dan, thanks for stopping in. Talk a little bit about this Hall of Fame thing because it's really a big deal. What it means to you and the community and the football team? Well, Mike, it certainly is a big honor. I view it as kind of an honor for all the people that have been in the program during the time that I've been there. One person doesn't do this. I've been very lucky. I've always said I've been very lucky to coach some great players at Sheboygan Falls. I've had an outstanding group of assistant coaches that have just been very true to me throughout my career. My family has been very supportive of the time I put in. Our school district and administrative staff have supported our program. Being in the Hall of Fame, I think, is a reflection on all of those individuals, but mostly I think it's the players that I've had a chance to coach. I wouldn't be here without them. You've got 23 years. You're starting your 23rd year as a head football coach. You've been at Sheboygan Falls 29 years. That's quite a run. I'm going to nail you down on one, maybe two. If you had to pick your best back in your career as a head coach, can you nail it down to one, maybe two? My best running back? Oh boy, that would really be tough. I've had so many good running backs and some two great backs on our state championship team. Nick Martin and Matt Kimmler, they rushed for over 400 yards in that state championship game, but going back into the 80s and early 90s, I've just had some great, great running backs. So it's really hard to just single out one person. I've been lucky to have a lot of good, solid running backs. Very diplomatic. Let's go to the line, because I know you've had some outstanding linemen over the course of your career. Anybody that stands out as being the best or a couple that stand out as being the best? Well, in terms of college potential, we had Tyler Adam, we received a scholarship and played with the Badgers. He played on our 87 and 88 team that were very outstanding teams. In the 90s, we had Kevin Campman. He was offered a couple of full-ride scholarships and decided he just wanted to walk on to the Badgers. So in terms of college recruiting, those two guys stand out. We just had a lot of those 205 pound guards, the Majerys Walsh group. I could list so many names that were just such phenomenal high school players. Maybe they didn't have the size to go on and play division one football, but in terms of a high school football player, they were great. One of the things that I've noticed in covering your team over the years, Dan, is pound for pound, your kids are really tough and it just hits a dog on hard. Now, how do you teach those kids that? Well, I've always said and I don't want it to change. I've always said I've been lucky that your boy and false kids are tough kids and we don't want that to change. I think a little bit of you can teach in drills, but I think some of it's just in their heart and like I say, I'm just lucky to coach those kids. Now, last year was an atypical year and there were some unfortunate situations that went on with injuries in particular. First of all, how are the injured kids doing? Are they going to be coming back? Okay, I know your son was one of them when he graduated, but it just wasn't the kind of year that you certainly expected. Well, we started out having three real key injuries by the time we got out of the first game. Andy Wolfe, one of our lead receivers coming in, broke his foot at a camp in the summer and missed about five games. And then Dieter went down with a shoulder separation in the lex cascades early in the game and then Pat Seifert had a season ending injury and that came also. He tore his ACL. So good news is Andy's playing baseball and basketball. Dieter's got a week and a half in of college football at Oshkosh. Pat's back. He's a junior. He's trying to work himself back in shape. And I don't think he's anywhere close to where he was last year, but it'll take a little time and hopefully we can get him there. When Dieter moved in as the quarterback, and I don't recall if it was a sophomore or freshman year, but anyway, once he moved in as a full-time quarterback, you changed the offense a little bit. It seemed like if you threw three or four times a game, that was pretty much. Yet when Dieter stepped in as your quarterback, you opened it up a little bit more. Now he's gone. Who's going to step in at quarterback and what's the offensive philosophy going to be? Well, we've actually changed our philosophy again. We really try to build an offense to the talent we have. One of the things people probably say, well, your son's a quarterback. You're going to throw it more. But we were blessed his junior year to have a kid like Ryan Walsh, a player of the year in our conference, who was a phenomenal wide receiver, and then Andy Wolfe on the other side. We trimmed that back a little bit last year when Andy got hurt. Once he came back, we opened it up again. But we have some very, very big offensive linemen this year. We have three juniors in our offensive line right now between 270 and 290 pounds. We've always been a wing tee, a quick hitting team. So we're kind of changing our philosophy to match the ability of the players we have. So we're going through some growing pains right now.  We'll do a little unbalanced, but that's not our base set. We're usually not an unbalanced line team. Now we talked about a little earlier about all your kids really love to hit. And of course, when you're a hitting team, usually that translates into pretty good defense. And I think that as you look at your teams over the course of your tenure at Falls, defense has really been a strong point. How does the defense look for you this year? I think you're right. I think that's the thing that we try to hang our hat on. You know, we've got a lot of young kids out there this year. You know, we lost a good senior class last year and we've got a couple of kids coming back. Eric Meinert, a defensive tackle, started for us last year. Josh Merzberger started an inside linebacker. Seth Mauer started at a half-pack last year and Dylan Stresner saw a little playing time before an injury. So we've got about four kids out there with some experience, but we're kind of up in the air right now as to who our defensive starters are going to be. We've got a lot of really close races going on for a lot of positions. So that would be a good thing because you're battling for positions. I think it's always good to have good competition. That's right. And hopefully the guy that finally gets the job is a good athlete. One of the things that stands out is you've got a really great program going and one of the things that hinges on that is your stability in the coaching staff. Talk a little bit about those guys. Yeah, I really have been lucky. You know, just this last year, Chuck Bronic, after 20 years with me, has retired from football. His son, Chuck lives in the Port Washington School District and his son is a junior on the varsity down there. And rightfully so wants to watch his son play on Friday night. So I understand that. So he's going to be out of our program for two years and whether or not we'll get him back three years down the road. We'll see how much he enjoys it. But I had Chuck for 20 years. This is the 20th year for Keith Minverse, our offensive and defensive line coach. And then Greg Priebeck, one of our JV coaches, I kind of call him the general manager of our team. He's doing all that behind the scenes stuff. He's been with me every year I've been at fault. So I've been lucky to have those people for a long time. You know what that tells me is that you must be a pretty nice guy. I don't know if that's the case or not. Let's talk a little bit about the conference because time is running short. Plymouth won it last year. I know that on the show last year we picked you as winning and of course injuries really hampered that effort. But how do you see things playing out this season? Well, like we always tell the kids, you know, things the game isn't played on paper. I think probably unanimously in our conference, you know, people will probably pick Plymouth. I think this is a year that they've been waiting for. They've got just a phenomenal group of senior athletes that have kind of gone through the freshman and JV level undefeated and then helped them win a championship last year. And while they lost some seniors, they were a very junior-orientated team. So they, you know, they'll probably get everybody, the coach is nod. And then I think you really have a pack of teams kind of in that next echelon. You know, I'm sure Campbellsport has a lot of people returning. Kiewaskim, I think, will have a very good team. I think New Holsteins' program is really taking off. And I'd like to think we could be in that next pack of teams also. And I'm not, you know, sure about some of the other teams, you know, in terms of their numbers and where they're at right now. I haven't seen any videotapes on them. One of the things you got to do over in Sheboygan Falls is get them to pipe in the TV8 so they can see that rebroadcast of the Plymouth Falls game. Coach Dan, thanks a lot for stopping it. You're a great interview and I really appreciate it. We're looking forward to doing that game of Plymouth Falls. And when we come back, Chris is going to interview Dean Tutus. So stay tuned. Welcome back, everybody. Coach Tutus, thanks for coming in. Let's get right to it. Last year, the running game really took off, especially the second half of the year with Santos Medina. You should love the potential. The number one, well, two emphasis that we went into camp with, number one was play better defense. And the other one is to run the ball. Actually, we're tired of being referred to as a finesse running team. So our running game this year, it actually started in the weight room. I've had the guys think in every rep they're taking that we're running the ball. And all summer, all last spring, you know, I'd go up to kids and ask them what they're thinking. And they'd say, run the ball. And yeah, the running game started to gel. And basically it was against Manitowoc then Preble. And we knew that was going to happen because we had three sophomores starting. And then, you know, Andy Eirik had left tackle that had never started a university game.   There were flashes of it, but just not consistent. So one of the things that we've focused on is, you know, in the weight room getting our guys stronger and, you know, transferring that to the field. And we're hoping it takes off. When we lost Sean McGee with the ACL, you know, we had to throw another sophomore in Peter Reschke. And he got the chance to start the last four games. I didn't think losing Sean would be that significant.  One of the problems we had in all those last games is when it came to crunch time we just, we couldn't convert it on a third and short or whatever. And that's, we need to be consistent and develop more continuity in the running game. So that's, it's very important. And tonight in West Bend West Game, that's going to be significant. Brian Herman's a pretty special player and well, he's a special kid too.  Yeah, I think any coach that had, you know, Brian Herman on his team would be lucky. And I think one of the good things that stems from last year and even his sophomore years, more guys in our program have kind of seen him take the lead and they've taken the lead to follow his work ethic and how he is on the field and off the field. And, you know, that's what good leaders do. He's not a, he's not a raw, raw guy. You know that Chris, but he, he just works hard and he lets his play on the field do his talking.  So yeah, I'm looking forward to it. The only thing that concerns me is his ankle. You know, it's still not, I don't think it's a hundred percent. He tells me it is. And we'll find, I've seen flashes of it, especially in the scrimmage. He went up and caught a ball that, you know, only he can do. So we'll see tonight. He's going to, he'll run the ball, catch the ball. I'm even telling him with the possibility of having him throwing the ball once in a while. Yeah, I like the way that you move him around. You move him to the slot. You move him out wide. You know, sometimes you got him carrying the ball. I like the way you use him as much as possible. Get the good players the ball and that's what a good coach does. Well, one of the things, when we first had him at X, which he's underlying scrimmage, we had three guys loading him up. So early last year after the second game, we decided to move him to Z so we can move him around. I mean, we even had him in the backfield and direct snap to him and stuff. But yeah, we got to try to find, you know, different ways to get him the ball. And I think what's going to happen now with the way that Santos tie and even Nate Pitch. Nate Pitch has really looked good. And Peter Prigge's, Peter Prigge has really surprised me at tight end with his ability to block because he's not real big and his ability to find open spots in the zone and run away from guys that are in man coverage. That it'll take some of the pressure off Brian and make him even more dangerous because they're not going to be able to overload. They're not going to be able to take two and three defenders to cover him. And at the end of the year, you know, they're doing the same thing to Nate. So, you know, they had linebackers, squatted corner and safeties over top. They're not going to be able to do that. They're going to have to keep their safeties in the run game. And that's going to make, you know, our receivers, especially Brian, more dangerous. They're not going to be able to double team him. And I wouldn't want to be a defensive guy. It's all stems on a running game, though. I know some teams take special teams kind of for granted, but I know your brother, Todd, coaches special teams. And I think it really makes your team. And there's great pride in your special teams at North. Yeah, in fact, you know, yesterday my brother came up to me and he goes, you know, we have Gooch, Todd Gutschall, on every special team. He's one of our starters. And right now he doesn't come off the field.  So we made a couple of substitutions. But yeah, you know, special teams, to me, they are special. We call them special forces. So we give them little military monikers for each one.  You need to get other. But Brian, you know, he loves special teams. He's mad because I don't have him on kickoff. But, you know, we got to give him a break. And one of the things we do, we coach up and teach our special teams, just like we do offense and defense. We do individual and then we do a group and then we do a team period. So it is, we take a significant time out of our practice, more so than a lot of other people. And, you know, it'll show up, it'll be there tonight because we've tweaked some schemes. We had to, you know, with Brian we've had to tweak our punt return and other things because they started directional kicking away. So now this year, like our punt return, we're going to have two people back that are a threat. So they're going to have a hard time kicking away, thinking that, you know, they're just going to let the ball roll around and get it down. So yeah, they are special. And, you know, that's one facet of tonight's game that is going to be, you know, crucial that we win that ball game. We're running out of time here. But one last thing I want to ask you coach, you've been around now for a little bit. Time to kind of put in your things. How do you keep kids enthusiastic with Raiderball? One of the things we try to do, our guys know that when it's time to work, we're going to work.   The other thing, our guys get involved with our camps so that they can see how coaches work and how they can give back. They fundraise. They do community service. And, you know, just hopefully they take a lot of pride in what we do and not just on the field but off the field. And I want them to be gentlemen and have class pride and discipline. And then when they get on the field, you know, get after it but still maintain the class pride and discipline, you know, that we ask for. Well, thanks so much for coming in and good luck this season. Thanks. We're looking forward to seeing you on September 10, excuse me, next week Friday. When we return, Marty will be with Suboygan South Coach Dave Pfeiffer. Joining me is Dave Pfeiffer, entering his ninth year as a head football coach at Suboygan South. And little changes here, Dave, here on that side. You're supposed to be asking me the questions. Hey, you had a really great year last year and you have a strong core of skill players coming back that should really help your team offensively this year. Why don't you go through some of those kids and what you expect from them and what positions played and those type of issues. Well, first we've got Tim Stuby. It's a three-year starter quarterback. He was first team off conference. I believe he led the conference in total offense last year. He'll be back for his third year at the helm. That's obviously a plus. Running back, we have Eric Donovan back at tailback. He led the conference in rushing and scoring. And he was back of the year. He's 20 pounds bigger and faster. I heard he was just like a Greek god now. He's got a nice physique on him. He was second team off conference. Average about 18 yards of carry and probably, or a catch, excuse me, and probably more important than that. Blocks like an offensive tackle. We have three receivers back. Andy Shane, Travis Wilson, and Danny Teller. And they're all very, very athletic. And then at the fullback position, Will Hartman's going to play some of that from the defensive side of the ball and Will's obviously an impact player on our defense but it really will help our offense as well as Jacob Billman who played there last year.  How's the offensive line stacking up this year? Well, first I really like our tackles. Trevor Klobacek is back at what we call our four tackle. He makes all the line calls. He's a more experienced, a more mature player and he's really leading on the field.  He's six foot five and 260. The other tackle I really like as well and that's John Lindsay. He's six, three, two, 70 and he's a junior. Those two kids I think are going to be as good as anybody in the conference. Inside we're going to be a little bit inexperienced, although not small. Justin Lamers is playing our two-guard. He's six, one, two, 90. And right now the three-guard is a sophomore, which concerns me a little bit but Tyler Courtwright has done a nice job maturing. He's six foot and he's 250 pounds. We have a couple other guys who are going to back them up. And at center we have Dan Milans, who's, he's a smaller of the guys but at our center position that's really not bad because we really like to get him to the back side. Just a point about last year's line, you don't replace a guy like Rick. You don't replace full right guys. But I really think this group is as big as our offensive line last year and I really think they're deal mature and to be in a pretty good group. I want to talk a little bit about philosophy and your line play because you don't have a right tackle and left tackle. You move them back and forth side to side. Talk a little bit about the philosophy behind that. And before you get into that, is that leading the defense to where the play is being run? Well it can if you continually run to one side you're tight inside all the time. But what, where I got that from was previous to coming to Sheboygan. I was a defensive coordinator at New Berlin West and what I found is by flopping the line, yes you have to teach the kids to go right and left with their movements that reduces the amount they have to know by half. So in essence we can run the same play to the right, flip the line, run the exact same play to the left. So the kids have to learn half as much. I like that. I try to keep things simple in that regard. It's probably more difficult for our backs to learn it initially than it is our linemen. But it keeps things pretty simple and the more simple we can keep it in the line the better so they can be more aggressive. One of the things that was really a highlight of your team last year was the explosiveness. You had that ADR touchdown run in the playoffs and Stubbe broke numerous lung gains on option plays. It looks like with those players back you should be a big play offense. Well, I hope so. I mean we've got enough team speed where if somebody misses a tackle we've got a chance to make a six yard gain into touchdown from any distance. Again part of that is I'd like to see this become a consistent team and not drop the ball on the floor and not throw interceptions and kind of beat teams up but we've got some athletes. There's no question about that. Even though your team was extremely strong offensively I still think probably the signature of your ball club last year was its defense. They were very, very good. Let's talk a little bit about that maybe starting with the line. First and foremost they led the conference in literally every statistic and we have eight starters back. In the defensive line is Gavin Majorly. He played defensive end and he'll play there as well this year.  The nose tackle right now is Peter Bettner. Six foot kid, 210 pound kid very strong, very, very aggressive and the other tackle right now is Kyle Berlin. Kyle's a little under size but a great technician, very strong stays down, doesn't get knocked off the line. We have a couple other guys John Valdez, Mike Brookens who are also battling and filling in some spots in that regard. Linebackers were a highlight of your team last year and it seems like it's been that way for the last five or six years and of course the guy that Chris and I always had a good time with was Will the man Hartman. I imagine he'll be playing some linebackers. Will will play what we call our Sam linebacker at the strong side. First team all conference, all region great player, played really well in the scrimmage. Next team will be David George those two are returning. Will's 195 pounds, 511 Dave 6-3, 210 they both run 4-7's or better. The two outside linebackers right now want to be Trent Brook for sure. Trent's more of a customized position, half D-back, half outside linebacker does a great job against pass. The other side is between Steve Chang is playing what we call our Apache up on the strong side a little bit although Ben Hendricks will play some inside linebacker and he might also play some of that outside. That's a really good group of kids, good players. Can we talk about the D-backs a little bit? Well Ben Miller's back, he was second team all conference, led the conference interceptions he's going to move to free safety. Matt Fister's back at corner and the other corner position right now is Adam Math as well as Jamal Johnson those two guys are kind of warring out for that position. I want to talk about something Dave that we haven't talked about over the last couple of years you may have thrown it in I don't remember but one of the things I think really helps your program is you've got pretty good consistency with your coaching staff but those guys our continuity has been very good the last couple of years first on the offensive side of the ball Carl Beckham's been with me eight of the nine years he does a very good job he's really invested a lot of time becoming a really good quarterback coach Jimmy Renzelman coach is our receivers I believe every year since I've been here we've had an all conference receiver that says a lot about Jim I coached the offensive line and this year we have Chris Corf who played at Whitewater he's one of the best defensive backs he'll really tame the stallions back there and we've got a chance to be pretty good with that staff defensively Chris Hine leads our defense he does an unbelievable job I believe that's been the biggest reason our program's twisted the other direction winning far more games Jamie Berlin coach is a defensive line he's been there all nine years with me and then Mike Rayn coaches the D-backs we've had good continuity we have two things that I would like to discuss yet and I think it was the Norse South game last year you held your guys after the game for like a sleepover in the gym and I thought that was a really good move on your part and keep the kids from getting out of trouble what other kinds of concerns or issues you have to deal with eligibility wise to keep the kids playing well grades are always an issue sadly that's one of the things that I'm not really happy about is we have probably five kids that are academically ineligible 100% against what I believe in I'm disappointed by that it hurts the team we have a couple kids that would definitely contribute we're going to have to make ends meet without them that I disappointed in we check that literally to all year round sometimes you can lead a horse to water but you can't make them drink and I'm afraid that's what's happened academically last question how do you see the conference playing out this year I mean you guys got to be right in the mix well I think we have a chance to be a good football team if our offensive line matures I think we could be really pretty good I think the conference from top to bottom is going to be much better than it was last year Manitowoc's got a great tradition huge kids North has got an incredible amount of athletes coming back on offense Preble is not going to be the way they were last year they had almost 20 starters back East no one's given them any credit but John Colestead wouldn't be sticking around unless he had a great group back and I've heard he does and Notre Dame is Notre Dame they're going to come at you with a bunch of great kids from their JV program and John will probably get a couple extra kids from the Green Bay area to fill in some blank sounds like you got your work cut out for you this year it's going to be a real good league this year it really is Dave thanks a lot for stopping in I really appreciate your great interview when we come back Chris and I will wrap up this evening's program so stay tuned the coaches for stopping in all the interviews really went good Chris as we look at our schedule this year we have some key games and let's talk about a couple of the games our fans should look for as the season progresses as key games for the area well this year for the first time in a number of years the North-South game is going to be right at the beginning I believe it's September 10th and that'll be a huge game and then the following week is Revenge Week Sheboygan South Green Bay Notre Dame is coming to Sheboygan this year last year that was kind of the pivotal game Sheboygan South with a couple of breaks probably could have won that game I think that's a two key games especially for Sheboygan South to get off to a good start later on in the season this year we're going to do Falls and Plymouth which we've been begging to do for years one of the biggest games maybe in the state for rivalries and things and then of course Coler and Lutheran will be towards the end of the year as well now we need to get into the key part of the whole broadcast those interviews were nothing compared to what we're going to talk about now and that's the predictions from the two gurus first of all let's talk about the central lakeshore and what do you see going on in that conference we don't cover them very much we're not very familiar with them but I know I'm going to go out on a limb here and maybe take Random Lake Random Lake's always been a very strong team over the number of years they have a nice coaching staff I know Coach Holzheimer said something about Cedar Grove this year so let's watch them well last year it was Aki won the championship Coach Coach Al mentioned that he felt it was going to be Cedar Grove so I'll go with Cedar Grove so you have who? I'm going with Random Lake and I've got Cedar Grove let's move on to the eastern Wisconsin and there we've got the big game coming up it'll be on TV8, Plymouth at Cheboygan Falls Plymouth won the conference last year how do you see it panning out this year? Well as every year I take the purple birds and Coach Edis I know he's got a this is one of the best groups that he's been looking forward to for years to become seniors so I'm going to go with Falls they just have an amazing program out there the way they every year they recycle players it doesn't matter if they've got big players or small players they always seem to compete and I'm taking them again well so I don't get mugged out in the parking lot I'm going with you we both have Cheboygan Falls on that one and the Fox River Valley and South has a legitimate chance of winning conference this year they were right in the mix last year but there's always an older game right I think Coach Pfeiffer made some very good points Green Bay Preble wasn't a great football team last year but they were bringing back about 20 players this year sometimes you say well they're bringing back 20 players but just because they're 20 players it's good but I think there's somebody you should probably watch out for Green Bay Notre Dame until they get knocked off they got to be the team to pick Cheboygan Falls south excuse me is definitely their offensive line is the key but I know us on the sidelines last year they're backups for some big kids they're both Mantowock I'm not a big you know Mantowock's probably got a nice I think they have a new coach this year the third coach in probably the last five or six years right I'm gonna you know south could do it I think those first two games are just huge and they got Eric Donovan the way they play defense Coach Hines got those guys going they are not going to be overlooked this year they're going to be a decent team to compete with and hopefully Cheboygan North with their good skill players back they got a boatload of skill players maybe they can sneak in there I'm gonna go with Notre Dame but I'm gonna hope that south can maybe knock them off I'm going with Cheboygan south now our first game is going to be Port Washington at Cheboygan north that game will be September 3rd that should be a good one it's a non-conference game we'll get a good we should be able to get a good feel for what north will bring to the table this year and Chris any closing statements before we sign off no the weather outside today as we're doing is kind of chilling cold so it's time for football it's hard to believe it's the end of August already but I'm ready and I'm excited well Chris and I got to get going because we got some sleep to get tonight we got to play tennis tomorrow morning and for Chris Wright and the crew Scott Miloff our director Steve Reinhardt and Isado Hemi the two camera person my name is Mike Martin saying so long everybody thanks for watching and we'll see you down the road


The Omicron BA.2.86 subvariant has over 30 mutations in the spike protein compared to other variants, but does not significantly escape neutralizing antibodies from recent infection or residual immunity of the South African population. It shows similar viral infection dynamics as BA.2 and XBB.1.5 in cell culture and potentially evolved in Southern Africa, leading to escape from neutralizing antibodies on a similar scale to recently circulating strains.

Sixteen years ago on this day, we concluded the ninety-day wholeness program in this place on 13 September, I think. So, when I suddenly remembered this in the afternoon, I was teaching to do something. So, when we were doing the wholeness program with those sixty-and-odd people, very hardy ones, because there was no place to live. A heart was that was threatening to fall down any time, repeatedly threatening us that it's going to come down upon us. But still, we did all that we had to do there. And at that time, everybody dreamt we must build a meditation hall. It took maybe another six years or seven years before we built the Spender Hall. Today, it is such that the Spender Hall is occupied almost twenty-two, twenty-five days in a month and it's not available for anybody in Darshan, and Southern Hall is anyway bursting at the seams. So, today we started the project called Adiyogi Alayam, a south-facing, a meditation hall which is south-facing, because Adiyogi, when he sat as a guru, he sat south-facing. So, this meditation hall is south-facing and we will have a wonderful consecration which will befit him for this hall. So, you like the name Adiyogi Alayam? I've been thinking we have to have something in his name because this… this fundamental possibility has evolved from this one idea that he put in those seven people's minds. He made them thirst for something beyond the limitations of their existence. He put this hunger into their stomach. He put this hunger into their hearts that they want to be something more than what we normally know as a human being. Every creature has come with a framework and ant can do certain things. I'm sure there are some champion ants which can do little more. But within that framework, a tiger can do something, but within that framework, an elephant can do something, but within that framework, a human being can do something within that framework, a certain dimension of whatever. He put this idea that you don't have to limit yourself to your dimension, you can transcend this. There is another way to be, a completely different way to be. This idea, he not only gave the idea and the thought, he also gave a method to go there. It is that this one idea that a human being can strive to evolve beyond the dimension of his present existence which is the basis of this whole civilization and culture. It does not matter whether somebody calls himself a Hindu or a Buddhist or a Jain or a Sikh or whatever, all of them are striving for this one idea that they want to cross these limitations and attain to liberation. The idea of mukti, the whole culture is… the centerpiece is mukti, please see. Everything that we are doing here in this culture is essentially towards that, that there is a possibility of transcending all limitations and getting there. There has never been a more revolutionary idea on this planet. Since this time, nobody has come up with a more revolutionary idea than this. That you can transcend the very dimension in which you exist. When I was in United States somebody asked me who is one person in the western world who has played a big role in, you know, evolving human consciousness. Without a moment's doubt, I said Charles Darwin. They said, Charles Darwin, he is only a naturalist. I said, for the western world, he is the one who gave the idea that you can evolve. So Charles Darwin, though in no way was he spiritual, he saw this thing in nature that everything is evolving. A single-celled animal is becoming a multi-celled animal, a multi-celled animal is becoming more complex and more complex from one dimension to another. Life is evolving. So there is a possibility for a human being also to evolve beyond his present limitations. It's a natural progression of theory of evolution. For one to go beyond his limitations, even to strive, the compulsion should go. The compulsiveness should go. This compulsiveness, one dimension, one fundamental dimension of compulsiveness, is your own prarabdha. Prarabdha is the allotted karma and it is like a coil spring, it wants to find expression. It will not spare anybody. So the best thing is to exhaust the prarabdha as quickly as possible with immense activity so that if you sit, there is nothing compulsive in you.

T this is actually what I will do now. In in order to explain the relation with RDA, I need to start again, which is the objective of OpenR. So our objective is to build this open access infrastructure for research in Europe. So the goal is to create an infrastructure which means essentially a platform which provide a number of basic services that can then be used by others to build new applications. So what we have now is that we have defined a number of these basic facilities and some vse zapravene, izgovoril je značen iznočen in vsega uklupnje. However, to je ne vsega, kaj je toh, kaj je to značen, in da je to štev, da je programatico vsega, in način pogleda se način, da se bolj se izgovorila odnočen. Zato je dobro videli, da je izgleda izgleda G.I. in vse zelo je rizčen in izgleda iz vsega aplikacije v izgledovane boljej staviti, ki so taj predstavili. Tukaj, in vse zelo je vse je predstavila, da je pa pristavila koncentru, ki je dobrošljeno, v nekaj našem zelo, in tako dobrošljena je ovrdu naša. Zato však vzgledaj, da je vzgledaj doti. Zato prej ta nekaj več neče zelo, da je izgledaj, da je zelo izgledaj, da je izgledaj o vzgledaj z kvalite in vzgledaj, da je izgledaj o vzgledaj. In je to začila. In na tem infrastratiče je infrastratio forstupovana in skolarna komunikacije. Zato, lahko sližjamo, da se vsoje nalazje z vsošenjem svetu. Tukaj, da sem izgleda del, da se vse nalazje z vsošenje in vsošenje. Ta izgleda je, da se in vsošenje vsošenje je pravno. Vsošenje či se nalazje, da se in vsošenje bo, da se vsošenje, microwave that error in the result would work, but also that in the result would work, but also that who received this information is able to understand what has received. So what is happening is that now in a science which is more and more dominated by data, in order to understand the scientific result the paper, the text is not enough so the three movements that say that in order to better understand the scientific result you need a lot of different komplementarne informacije o kontekstu. V komputeroj, pa je nekaj initiv, kaj je učinil še oprečenje modelu, kaj je vse nekaj učinil še oprečenje modelu. Zelo bolim, da potrebno nekaj učinil še oprečenje modelu, ko je še oprečenje, kaj je vse nekaj učinil še oprečenje.

Tukaj je zelo začiniti, kaj je zelo začinit, tako ki so izjavljeni in izjavljeni se zelo. prid Save all this element. What is more difficult is that often these different pieces are not produced by the same community of the author. They have been generated in other contests because now more and more science is multidisciplinary. So you can create an article related to something that has been produced by another community. To prihleduje, da je to nekaj nekaj problemov, či prihleda in teropelivitje data. In tudi da se modimimo tudi, tudi smo prihledali, je prihledali na vseh, prepoznati na vseh zvonitv, that we will try to address which are the basic services that an infrastructure should provide for facilitating the publishing and at models, or no cost to the authors, because this is the focus of an infrastructure for these new kind of publications. So what do we want to address in this working group is actually what are the basic facilities that an infrastructure should provide na požudnji zeprav, da sem potrebno zašlen, da posluhajemo Lisa pojadni opresil, da je na nišem obječenem u kodji od ništih neko se danas najpovršaja. So on je izgledaj objernih zelo, ki smo počugali we have discussed in to propose in the context of our day. Concerninga, the contribution, other contribution that we can we as open-air can give to open-air, let me say that in our day, there are many as we have seen, candidate working group related to technology. Zdaj smo prišličili tehnologi, ki je vse objevno v 2004. V tej periodi smo nekaj nekočnih. Zdaj smo nekočnih teoretičnih nekočnih. Zdaj smo prišličili tehnologi, ki je nekaj nekaj nekaj nekaj nekaj nekočnih. V this sense, the Open誕 consortium can really give an important input to adie. I I have listed a number of candidate working groups where we can participate, bringing which is in our experience. There are register of various types, data framework, data as a service, all the different approaches to interoperability. And I've also mentioned one working group which was proposed by a person, Ian Foster, which is actually one of the father of the grid. But I think that this is very interesting, the title is Overcoming Data Friction. And the idea is that what he's proposing is a working group that want to find mechanism for simplifying the publication of data in such a way that it becomes more easy for all the scientists to publish this data as now we do with Dropbox. So it must be something that is not too complicated to do, in such a way that this data can really be published in an easy way. And also we can really contribute to terminology in Comset because we have been discussing this issue since many years. The other point that I want to raise is what we have seen this morning, that there is a working group in, candidate working group in RDA which I think that has good chances to be approved. Erika Alonsoga, she is here, one of the co-chair of this working group. And here I have just copied some of the focus, some tendencies from the focus of this working group. And the focus is overcoming intellectual property constraints on access to reuse of research data. And as I have understood, the goal is essentially to minimize the legal barriers, especially for public and publicly funded upstream factual input, that actually the stakeholders met when they have to made available their content. So to simplify as much as possible, the way in which the issue that someone that deposit the data has to overcome. Now, so this is the working group. So how open air can contribute? So we have seen this morning that there is a working group, a number of people that really are already working very in depth in the project, in the topic. And it has already been mentioned that all the problems that we have that we are experimenting in combining all the different pieces and uses of the different pieces and they are already studying this problem. I want to add two more points that actually come from our experience. So what I think is that we are in a context of a data infrastructure. So a data infrastructure is an entity that was not existing before. And the way in which we operate create new conditions. And the data providers are not ready yet, so have not yet understood the way in which we are using. So let me make an example. So we are, as infrastructure, we are using, for example, data from aggregators. So usually the aggregators are now aggregating data and publishing them through a website. And in the terms and conditions there is explicitly written, you have to, for example, explicitly cite the source where the data comes. But they don't say we have to explicitly cite our service that we are aggregating. So now we are gathering content from the aggregators. And most of the aggregators are actually complaining because they are offering a service which is the aggregation, but we don't cite them. So this is an issue that this is an example for me that comes from this different word that is being raised and that was not a problem before because, of course, everyone was consuming the data so they were visible. Another point that I want to raise is that the infrastructure is a new entity. So as an entity he also needs to have policy. So who do we allow to, for example, use the infrastructure? So what are, for example, the contract that we sign our providers? Which contract do we sign with other users? This is still, in my opinion, something that is not clear to all and we need to clarify. So this is an input from my side on the working group and also to our expert. And so I wanted to conclude actually saying that a few examples of how OpenAir can contribute to RDA. I want to conclude saying that there is another important contribution that OpenAir can give and it's related to the community that during these years OpenAir has been able to aggregate. So what happened in OpenAir is that we have established links with organizations. This organization in turn has a lot of different other contacts. So what is happening is that there is a sort of, so the problem and solution that we are discussing in the context of OpenAir actually are also being spread in a lot of other different organizations. So all these organizations in OpenAir and Vesvica. So I think that in RDA OpenAir can bring also all these different all these, the contribution and can involve all our or let's say indirect transitivity organization that we have been in some sense collaborating with. So this concludes my presentation and I say that there are more and more other ideas so I'm looking at life and I'm sure that we will be able to collaborate profitably. So thank you.


Though colonoscopies can cause serious harm in about one out of every 350 cases, sigmoidoscopies, which are shorter and smaller scopes, have 10 times fewer complications. But do colonoscopies work better, the total risk benefit better? We don't know, since we don't have any randomized controlled colonoscopy trials, and we won't until the mid-2020s. So what should we do in the meanwhile? The USPSTF, the official prevention guidelines body, considers colonoscopies just one of three acceptable colon cancer screening strategies. Starting at age 50, we should either get our stool tested for hidden blood every year, no scoping at all, or a sigmoidoscopy every five years, along with stool testing every three, or a colonoscopy every 10 years. And in terms of virtual colonoscopies or the new DNA stool testing, there's insufficient evidence to recommend either of those two. Though they recommend ending routine screening at age 75, that's assuming you've been testing negative for 25 years since your 50th birthday. If you're 75 and you've never been screened, it's probably a good idea at least into one's 80s. If there are three acceptable screening strategies, how should one decide? They recommend that patients work with their physician in selecting one after considering the risks and benefits of each option. For patients to participate in the decision-making process, though they have to be given the information, the degree to which health providers communicate the necessary information was not known until this study was published. They audiotaped clinic visits, looking for the nine elements of informed decision-making, discussing the patient's role in making the decision. What kind of decision has to be made? What are the alternatives? What are the pros and cons of each option? The uncertainties. Making sure the patient understands their options, then finally ask them what would they prefer. That's the role of a good doctor. It's your body. It's your informed decision. How many of these nine crucial elements of informed decision-making were communicated to patients when it came to colon cancer screening? Care to hazard a guess? In most of the patients, none. One. The average number addressed? One out of nine. As an editorial in the Journal of the American Medical Association put it, there are too many probabilities and uncertainties for patients to consider and too little time for clinicians to discuss them with patients. So doctors just end up making the patients mind up for them. And what do they choose? Most often, as in the survey of 1,000 physicians, doctors recommend colonoscopy. Why? Other developed countries mostly use the stool test, the FOBT test, with only a few recommending colonoscopies or sigmoidoscopies. This may be because most physicians in the world don't get paid by procedure. As one US gastroenterologist put it, colonoscopy is the goose that laid the golden egg. A New York Times expo say concluded that the reason doctors rake in so much money is less about top-notch patient care and more about business plans maximizing revenue and lobbying, marketing, and turf battles. Who sets the prices for procedures? The American Medical Association achieved lobbying group for physicians. They set the prices. No wonder gastroenterologists pull in nearly half a million dollars a year. And the American Gastroenterological Association wants to keep it that way. Referring to these exposays, the president of the association warned that gastroenterology is under attack.
