The 14th, 2003, we're taping this afternoon Betty Tilson, who was an aide to Mrs. Johnson in the White House, and my memory is that the letter she wrote for Mrs. Johnson so impressed the president that he wanted her to come down and work for him when he left office and come and work in the federal building and then in the LBJ Library. So she's been with the Johnson's for what year? 1963, 40 years almost. And she's still working for the Johnson family and for Mrs. Johnson and the LBJ Foundation. Betty, 1963, that was shortly after the president became president or were you in the White House before you came? I was in the White House before. I actually started in the last six months of the Eisenhower administration and in the social correspondence office that answered letters to the First Lady and the president that weren't about matters of real concern and worked through the Kennedy administration. And when the Johnson's came to the White House, it became a different White House, I think. I remember early on Mrs. Johnson came down to our office and told us to write the very best letters we could and to be as responsive as we could because that might be the only contact that a person would have with the government. And they invited the staff up into the family quarters, which I hadn't experienced before. And I think one of the things that I remember most vividly about those years is that my children was in Vietnam and I had three small children and I would arrive at work and leave work with here in chance of LBJ.  And it just infuriated me that people didn't support the president at any rate with Miss Johnson's programs and all that he did to help people. My admiration for them just grew and grew and grew. And as she said, he asked if we would move to Texas and if I would work for him. After they left the White House, well, we had never been to Austin. And we flew down on Air Force One on one of their trips down here in mid-December. And we really liked the city and I loved the idea of working for those two people. And so we decided that we would leave Washington, which had been my home since I was born. I came down here with them on Inauguration Day and stayed down here. I think it was a week or two. And then my husband had recently gone to work for the Veterans Administration after retiring from the Army. And there was some problem about them paying moving expenses down here. Well, I told President Johnson I really had to go home and take care of my family and get ready for the move. Well, some time passed and he became impatient. And he said, well, I will pay for the move. But I want you to get rid of everything that you don't absolutely have to have. Pack it yourselves. And so four children, my mother, my husband, and I drove down in two cars. We stayed at the guest house the first week we were down here. And I remember President Johnson bringing toys over for the children and two huge boxes of candy, which he obviously wanted opened then and there because Mrs. Johnson wasn't around to see him eat it. Anyway, the day finally came to move into the house. And I believe our moving bill was $1,497. And the President called me into the office and counted out the money. It was in hundreds. Some of it was in small bills and some of it was in dollar bills.  And he said, I had to borrow this on my life insurance policy. He was so terribly generous though. And remember another time that we were invited to dinner at one of Austin's landmark restaurants, the old Nighthawk Steakhouse. And I think there were about eight of us around the table. And President Johnson had a huge platter of onion rings that he was lustily eating. My husband was sitting next to Mrs. Johnson at the other end of the table. Mrs. Johnson asked him, asked the President, please pass the onions down to Don. And then she whispered in his ear, please eat them all. I don't want Lyndon to have any more. And I know it's been said many times that they were better together than they were apart. And she watched over his health so much, gently nudging most of the time. And President Johnson loved to tease. I remember one time at the ranch, I was sitting among a circle of people that included Dean Rusk. And President Johnson used to like to have business lunches in the suite at the Federal Building. But he didn't like the sandwiches that were being brought in. And he looked me straight in the eye and he said, you could cook for eight or ten people. And Mrs. Johnson said something like, Lyndon. And I said, Mr. President, I really keep pretty busy doing my own job. But he, and that he just laughed. He almost never gave compliments directly. You would hear them second hand from somebody. And I remember one day he told me to drive out to the ranch that he had a lot of work to do. But I knew that he was real pleased about something I'd done. I don't remember what now. But I got out to the ranch. And instead of working, we got into the helicopter and flew over to the Krim Ranch where we had a delightful afternoon. And he asked me if my mother, who took care of my children, also prepared the meals at night. And I explained to him that she had had a nervous breakdown and had been hospitalized twice. And getting dinner on the table for all those people was too much for her to handle. So I cooked when I got home. Well, he never asked me to stay late after that. And he got a real sad look on his face. And he just, he had so much compassion for people and I mean for all people everywhere. And he loved to give gifts at Christmas and sometimes a bonus or two every month and while. After the vantage point came out, I remember particularly. But one day, and I guess I shouldn't mention her by name, after the library was built, President Johnson was spending a whole lot more time at the library than he was at the Federal Building, where some of the staff still office. And she wrote him a letter and said that we were all bored. Well, that letter infuriated him and he carried it around in his pocket. Tom Johnson told me for two or three months. And one day he took his side and he showed me the letter. And I tried to explain that we weren't bored because God knows we had enough to do. But that we missed him and the excitement that his presence always brought into the office. And he seemed satisfied by that. But we didn't get our Christmas presents that year until February. Well, too soon that giant of a man was gone. I learned, I think, the greatest lesson of my life for Mrs. Johnson. Then because she focused on how grateful she was for all the years they had together, what they had experienced, and came back to the office almost immediately and sat for months responding to condolence letters, she would rarely weep. Well, when my husband died and it was a Saturday morning and he got up and said he was feeling better than he had in a long time, he turned the tape player on and played some platters music that we had loved early in our marriage, Twilight Time, and Smoke Gets in Your Eyes.  And I said a lifetime of memories and he said, oh, and aren't we lucky to have had them. And we went to the hardware store and he had a massive heart attack and was gone. But her example just helped me so much to get through that. I think my life would have been in shards had I not witnessed that because at other funerals and things I'd been to, people just went into themselves or cried incessantly. And I wanted to be an example to my children as she had been to Linda and Lucy. And she was the greatest teacher. You would have had to have a lobotomy not to learn from her graciousness, her intelligence, her insight, and her patience. I never once heard her lose her temper in the office. If you did something wrong, you knew it by hearing her say, next time let's do it this way. And she was also the most courageous person I think I knew. It took courage to make beautification her platform in the White House. And she was ridiculed and made fun of. And then when she came back to Austin, she established the Wildflower Center on her 70th birthday. And earned more criticism for that while the world has turned around in its thinking. And every spring we get letters from people telling us how beautiful the road sides are or how Washington is just alive with color. And the taxicab drivers give all the credit to Mrs. Johnson. And I got to travel with her. After President Johnson died, I worked with her on her speeches. And I got to travel with her. And especially when she was promoting the book she co-authored with Carlton Lee's called Wildflowers Across America. And we crisscrossed the country. She also took me twice, I think, up to the Mayo Clinic when she went to have her annual checkup because I was having some health problems. And I remember one night we were in the hotel room sitting on the couch with our feet propped up on the coffee table, a bowl of popcorn at hand, watching nine to five, which was a comedy about working women. And it had a sequence, kind of a dream sequence of a marijuana type. And I don't know that she understood that part of it, but she sure did laugh. And she was ever, always and forever, for years, she told the staff that she was going to slow down and she was going to retire. And she kept going and she said that she would give the center


Thank you and thank you very much also to the Bar Association, especially the leadership for this honor of speaking to us all on the state of the nation. Regarding whether or not we have succeeded, I think it's too early, it's early days, to say whether we succeeded in turning the pandemic into an opportunity, but I must say that the pandemic itself presents an opportunity and we as a government have seen it as such as an opportunity to do so many different things. First of all, even just in scaling up our medical response and our capacity to be able to respond to pandemics now in the future. As you know, we used to have four molecular laboratories, now we have 64 molecular laboratories. We have now capacity for far more ICU beds, we have I think now something in the order of over 300 ICU beds and over several now just in terms of other beds, bed space and hospital capacity that is also considerably high today. But we've also in terms of just improving capacity and improving our ability to respond. Just on the medical side alone, you will see that at a point we were worried about just the capacity to provide oxygen, now we have several facilities for oxygen, even oxygen production has actually gone up in Nigeria and that means that today we're able to do much more, even with our capacities in the hospitals, we now have just bed capacity alone, 7,990 beds. We have about 20,000 health workers that have been trained on infection and control. We have over 4,000 now, oxygen delivery equipment and accessories nationwide and we've also been able to provide about a minimum of about a billion to which state just to improve their capacity. Labor state alone had about 10 billion. So just in terms of improving medical capacity, a lot has happened. But then that's on the medical or the healthcare side. On the economic side, obviously you've spoken about the economic sustainability plan and this has provided again yet another opportunity of addressing some of the serious concerns that we have on the economy. I think for us as a government, one of the key worries that we had was more for how this would affect jobs and job production and job sustenance. And I think that what we saw was a very big problem with the informal workers and persons who have to work day to day for their survival and what we tended to see there was that people like, you know, just to take an example, tailors, artisans, caterers, event planners, decorators, makeup artists, hairdressers, barbers, tailors in Washiwai, printers, souvenir dealers, people like that obviously were in trouble and we needed to address the concerns that they had because these people rely on an ecosystem that had collapsed with the COVID-19 pandemic and that's aside from big industries such as hospitality, of course occupancy rates in hotels fell in some big hotels below 10 percent, even hospitals, even private hospitals, you know, experienced problems because people avoided private hospitals the same as aviation and of course we know all the problems associated with that. So we were concerned with saving those jobs and which is why we put in place what is called what we describe as a survival fund, which will cater for artisans, 42,000 per state for a start across the states and that will be in the form of support for artisans. We also have a payroll support scheme which will support persons especially in private school teachers for example and then small businesses who employ up to and not more than about 50 persons, we also have some kind of support for them at the moment when the process of compiling that data and the criteria has been set already, that committee is headed by the only minister of state for industry trade and investment and the vice chair is Mrs. Bukumawoshika, the chairperson of First Bank. So they are basically looking at the criteria for giving out this payroll support and also for several of the other support schemes that we have. So by and large, you know, we are tackling those issues, of course, we are also looking at the big issues, how do we support aviation, how do we support the hospitality industry and these are big areas where we are looking at support. Now in the first place, you are probably aware that the CBN has already put in place several mechanisms for ensuring that loans that have been taken by companies and by some of these big enterprises in the sectors that I have just mentioned, that there is some circle for them in the form of restructuring of their loans, lower interest in some cases, in some moratoriums granted and all of that. I am just picking the headlines of some of these efforts and of course the Bank of Industry has also had to reduce interest rates in many cases and restructure facilities. So there is a wide range of issues, I am sure we will get to talk about them in some detail later on. But this is just to give you a broad framework of the kinds of efforts that are going on and this is a question. So I think I will just hold on. In terms of the contraction to GDP, just as you pointed out, several of the comparator countries or the countries that will compare ourselves to have in terms of contraction been much worse than we have and so there is a sense in which we can feel happy, a bit happier with ourselves, I suppose, but again we must not forget that economies like politics is local and so you have to concern yourself with your own problems and with your own issues. I mean, while it is helpful for us to say when the UK contractor was minus 20% of GDP in France, minus 14%, in Germany, minus 10%, in Israel, minus 29%, South Africa is even projected to be between 20 and 50% while we can say so and Nigeria is only minus 6%. The truth and the reality is what the people feel. Obviously today there is considerable anxiety, there is an economic decline of the sorts that affects everyone, it affects services, it affects even lawyers, I mean lawyers will tell you that they are going through very difficult times, let alone other people in different services and all that. So the truth of the matter is that our contraction of minus 6% is good, is better than others, but it is still only part of the story. The real story of course is that we are experiencing a severe economic decline, we are experiencing a severe decline in domestic resources, in tax, etc., we are experiencing a severe decline in employment so there are many, many job losses. So our response to that is really what I think is important and that is first we are concerned with saving jobs and we are concerned with creating other jobs and the way we have chosen to go about this, especially as part of the economic sustainability plan is by ensuring or by insisting in the plan that we will focus on local industry, local production using local resources. So for example our Mass Agricultural Program is one that we expect will bring in loads of jobs, we are looking at in every state bringing between 30 and 100,000 hectares of land under cultivation and we are bringing in that many new farmers, as matter of fact as of today we have registered over 5 million farmers and we have actually attacked them to their land. So we have GIS that shows who the farmer is, where his land is and what we are doing also is that these farmers, these small farmers are now aggregated under some of our partners who are more like uncles.  Now these big farm owners are people, are already established and what they do is that they act as uncles to the small farmers. So to some extent they guarantee that the small farmers will produce and they will off-take what the small farmers produce and we have quite a few of these huge farmers who are taking on the smaller farmers and government then becomes the off-taker of last resort or the purchaser of last resort. So in the event that some of these produce cannot be bought, government will buy. This is just to ensure that production continues to ensure that their cultural sector is well resourced. We are also of course concerned with losses, with losses in the cause of, especially in the value chain, all sorts of severe losses as you know. Sometimes we lose up to 40% of production in the farms. So we are trying to ameliorate that as well as we look at the entire value chain. So we are concerned also with ensuring that the value chain is much stronger so that jobs are created all along the line. Agri-production is a serious part of the work that we are trying to do. That is for agriculture. Then we have mass housing. This again focuses on local materials. We are looking at about 300,000 housing units, local housing units. Today we already have a plan, we already have a design that will be able to bring in a small two bedroom apartment for two million naira, under two million naira. Matter of fact, we are looking at between 1.8 million and 2 million naira. Now how do we intend to do this? First is by ensuring that as much as possible we use local materials and local resources. So doors, nails, window frames, et cetera, we will source locally. Of course blocks and all of that will source locally. We have cement, all of those will be source locally. Each site would have, as it were, its own system production unit where people are making blocks, those who are making doors, making window frames, et cetera. We will provide facilities in some cases for the production of some of these things. And our family homes fund, as well as the Ministry of Housing, is actively engaged in doing this. We already have 11 states that have given up land, for this purpose, and we are looking at getting more land from each of the individual states in order to be able to do this. What I want to emphasize is that this is about local production. It is about local resources. The contractors who will be building the land will be small businesses that will register online in the different states. So these small businesses, these small building construction companies, not the huge ones, will be the ones who will be taking batches of houses and build batches of houses across the country so that we can actually engage young engineers, young surveyors, young builders, et cetera, who at this point may be out of work. Then we have a solar home system as well, solar home systems project as well. As you know, with the support of the World Bank, we are putting in five million homes solar home systems in five million homes. Now that means a huge number of jobs. First, you know, in the assembly of the home systems locally, before we begin any sort of manufacturing, we don't have that capacity yet. And then in the installation and in the running of the payment systems for the solar home systems as well. So we think that this will also create an immense amount of jobs. So really, I think that our response to the pandemic is one that I believe is robust. As you know, we are putting 2.3 million in terms of a stimulus package. And just to understand this 2.3 million is not all cash. You know, it's not as if all of that cash is available. About 1.2 trillion of it is in the form of loans and facilities supported by the CBN to be given, for example, for the solar home systems project, for the housing project, for the agriculture project as well. These are loans directly to farmers, loans directly to manufacturers and to provide off-take facilities as well. So here, you know, I think our response is robust. We need to move quickly. We need speed. And I think that with what we have in place, we really can respond in the best possible way to this and not think that our circumstances are much better than other countries. As a matter of fact, we are in relatively dire straits. And I think that we must respond in that way. Thank you. Just yesterday, the Federal Executive Council approved forensic auditors led by Ernst and Young. Ernst and Young, as you know, is an international firm of auditors. And the auditors are led by Ernst and Young. There's a fairly long list of auditors that were recommended by the Auditor General, which I'm sure you know is the law. When you want to audit a federal government enterprise, it is the Auditor General that makes the recommendation of who the auditors will be. Then it goes through the Bureau of Public Procurements and all that. But I can tell you today, that as of yesterday, a team of auditors led by Ernst and Young will be auditing the NDDC. So that I think is the answer to that. The other question that you asked is one that I am not certain what sort of facts you have, but if you say that a person is apparently corrupt, I think that concrete allegations have to be made. Those allegations have to be investigated. So far, I'm sure you are aware, we've had several individuals within our government who, against whom allegations have been made, those allegations were investigated. And in many cases, those who were accused were suspended while the investigations were going on. I think the government resolved the issue one way or the other. I'm sure you are aware of the former Secretary to Government of the Federation, the former DJ of the NIA, and others such as that. So I don't think that there is any reticence in terms of reacting to allegations of corruption. I think those allegations have to be properly investigated. There has to be fair hearing and steps then have to be taken. So I don't think that our record so far shows any reticence on our part or reluctance on our part to live up to our own stated aspirations and stated objectives as a government. Well, let me just say that that question appears to me to be loaded. And I'm not going to take the bait. Frankly, let me say to you that one learns every day, and I am learning every day and I pray that God helping us by 2023 would have learned a great deal. But I will not, of course, as you know, today I'm completely focused on what it is that we are confronted with. We are confronted as the right honorable speaker has said with possibly the greatest pandemic, the greatest public health crisis of our generation, and possibly the greatest economic decline, global economic decline of our generation. So we are challenged by these very significant issues and we are in some senses privileged and at the same time we must approach it with a great deal of humility. We are privileged to be in service at this time, to be called upon to resolve some of these great issues. So that is where my focus is today. How we learn, what I will learn, of course the coming years will be the only judge of that. Thank you very much. A lot of importance in my view because of the fact that lives are involved. I want to say that the mindless, callous killings in Southern Kaduna are heartbreaking. And again we must condone those who have lost loved ones and those injured or who have suffered loss of property. Now these tragedies are completely unacceptable and they are avoidable. I've been involved since about 2001 through the work of the Macedonian Initiative, an NGO that focused on relief materials, given relief materials to displaced persons. Since 2001 in Southern Kaduna and several other places, especially in the north-central part of Nigeria. But the deadly violence in Southern Kaduna has continued over the years. There have been judicial commissions, etc., all sorts. But the problem remains. So there is a need to address the underlying issues. There is a need to address those. I'll come to that in a moment. But what are we doing? What is the government doing? First is the improvement of security in Southern Kaduna. Now we have a military base there for the first time. We now have a military base. We also have a lot of Air Force Surveillance. We have about 500 conventional and mobile policemen in Zagun Kataf and Kauria local government. And then the combined military teams from the Army, the Navy, who are also on ground 24 hours. That's basically to just take care of the volatile situation there. The President has also had several Security Council meetings. I've attended all of those meetings where the issues have been discussed. And the possibilities of engagement have also been discussed. I've also engaged with community leaders in Southern Kaduna and also have engaged with the governor to look at what peacemaking efforts are possible. What can we do to ensure that these killings and this disgraceful human condition there is dealt with? And you know, some of the peacemaking efforts have been fairly successful. Recently, I'm sure you've heard of the rapprochement between the Zagun Kataf community and the Hausa Fulani community. And we hope that that will develop into something that not only will be permanent or will be a template for making peace in the future. But I think we must address also the fundamental issues. We can't sweep those issues under the carpet. Justice, you know, the cries of economic marginalization. The fact that we must prosecute persons responsible for these murders. Otherwise, impunity will worsen and also support those who have lost their properties and breadwinners. I think some of these issues must also be addressed as we go forward. And what we've been trying to do, the president of course has taken several steps aside from the engagements with the governor and also with the communities there. We're also working, you know, and of course one cannot disclose all of what is going on for reasons of confidentiality and security. But there's also a lot of work going on to ensure that some of these fundamental issues are addressed. And it's an evolving situation. But it's something we simply cannot afford to ignore. And it's gone on for far too long in my view. And it is repressible. It is possible for us to resolve these issues. That is on the southern Kaduna issue. The other point you made, the other question you asked was with respect to Kama, which is the company and Allied Matters Act. Let me say first that, as you know, the companies and Allied Matters Act is a very huge legislation. It has over 800 and 70 sections or so. So it's a massive legislation that covers a wide range of issues of companies, all sorts of issues on companies. General meetings, appointment of directors, etc. Now there's a small portion of it called the Incorporated Trustees section. That small section of it is the section that regulates charities. Now churches and mosques and such organizations are regarded as charities. So it is the Incorporated Trustees section of the companies and Allied Matters Act that has become controversial. And because churches are charities, the provisions in the Incorporated Trustees Act obviously affect the churches. Now what the churches are concerned about is a provision that says, I think there are about two or three provisions about the main one, is one that says that in the event that some wrongdoing is found by or perpetrated by the trustees of the particular organization or church, the registrar general can go to court, get an order to appoint interim administrators or interim trustees for the church or for whichever organization, whichever charity that may be and then, as it were, manage their affairs of such a trust. Now the concern of the churches is that it could lead to a situation where practically anybody could be appointed as a trustee to oversee a church. And a church obviously or a mosque or a religious organization is obviously a spiritual organization. And if you do not belong, if you don't share that faith or you simply do not even have any faith at all, you may be the wrong person and the wrong person may be appointed and create more trouble than was initially the matter before the trustees were appointed. Now my view, what I have also suggested to several of the groups that I have spoken to and the leaderships that I have spoken to is that we have a process by which this can be addressed. The right-hand speaker of the assembly is here. The right-hand speaker of the House of Representatives is here. We have the President of the Senate and we also have the President. What can be done is that whatever the proposals for amendment may be, whatever the views of the church leadership may be regarding the question of how the trustees and whether interim trustees or whatever can be managed, that should be put into proposals that can be brought before the National Assembly, before the National Assembly leadership. For consideration of amendments to the law, that is a process which is entirely open. And I believe that that is a process that ought to be pursued where citizens of groups have concerns, where they have serious concerns. We are in a democracy. There is a process by which this can be done. And that process is one where we bring forward amendments to the National Assembly. And the National Assembly, I'm sure, will do whatever is considered needful in the circumstances. So this is my position. I think that, yes, the controversy is one that has generated a lot of fervor, but the solution to me seems also to be quite evident. Thank you. Well, thank you, Mr. Vice President. We just have about two or three minutes. But just to dig deeper, yes, an amendment can be made. Okay. Thank you very much. First, let me say that as a general position, I do not think it is right to say that pastors do not want to be accountable. As a matter of fact, as you know, I'm a pastor. So I know that that question is also partly directed to me. But I must say that that is not the case. I believe that several Christian organizations and pastors are willing to be accountable. But I think that the problems that they may have with ensuring that processes are not abused in such a way as to compromise the entire organization. And I think that if all that is required is some process of accountability, I think it would be easier for organizations to accept that. But where there might be a takeover of the management of the organization, I think that they may, I think the fears, there may be fears as to whether such could be abused. And really what needs to be done then is to put in place checks and balances to ensure that there is no abuse in the event that such provisions are activated in any way. Or even to modify those provisions to allay everybody's fears. But I do think that is a matter of pastors being fearful of accountability. I think that all of us are subject to law and we must accept that the laws of Nigeria govern all of us and we have no choice but to submit to those laws. Unfortunately we are in a democracy so that we can also advance our own views and opinions even after the law has been passed for possible amendments. So where do I see Nigeria in the next five years? I must say that we've seen all of the challenges. We know that in the next five years our population is going to increase. The number of young people looking for jobs will increase. There will be greater pressure on our resources. But I also strongly believe that we are in the best possible time in our history. We are in the best possible time in terms of the opportunities that are available and we must make those opportunities available. First as government it is our role and I think the government's role is particularly important. As government it is our role to create the enabling environment for business to thrive and to prosper. And that means ensuring that we remove whatever the hindrances are to doing business in Nigeria. Some of the incumbrances for instance tax, we've done quite a bit with tax. If your turnover is less than 25 million a year as a company it is a zero tax policy. If you are between 25 million and 100 million you are paying 20 percent, 10 percent less than it was before. So we need to clean up the tax environment. We need to ensure that multiple taxation does not occur. For example just here in Abuja I know that the Minister of Federal Capital Territory has been working very hard alongside all of us. In ensuring that those who do business here are not exposed to multiple taxation and all sorts of other hindrances that are put in people's way. We've been working with NAFDAG. NAFDAG is an organization that registers products but sometimes it takes too long to register a product. So I want to put my product on the market because obviously several people all over the country are bringing for their products. It can take forever and a day to be able to register a product. Now if I don't register my product I can't sell my product in the supermarkets. So products that are coming in from Ghana, products coming in from elsewhere in the world that have already been registered in their own countries are on our shelves in our supermarkets where our own manufacturers are having difficulties. So we're tackling this with NAFDAG. Obviously they have their constraints and we're trying to resolve those constraints as we go forward. So we want to be a manufacturing hub for the rest of Africa. We've signed on to the AFCTA, the free trade that we met. We've signed on to that. So we want to be the hub and we can be the hub of manufacturing. We can be the hub of agriculture. We have the men, we have the resources, we have the land. So that is one. We can also be the technology hub of Africa and indeed for many parts of the world. Microsoft has already announced that it will be setting up its facility here. It's Africa facility here. Several countries are interested in technology and the potential. Now on our part as a government, we're also working hard to ensure that we do not over-regulate that space. So FinTech companies, for instance, we're ensuring that the central bank doesn't over-regulate them, allows them to perform, allows them to blossom. And the same thing we're trying to do with the creation of hubs with the support for technology. Just about a couple of weeks ago, the Ministry of Youth and Sports got a 75 billion youth fund. Now that youth fund, a substantial amount of it will be devoted to technology. We believe that we can be the technology hub of Nigeria. Frankly, I am convinced that we have everything it takes to be the kind of country that we all dream of. But we have our constraints and we're Nigerians. We know what our constraints are, petty corruption, grand corruption. Everybody is standing in the way trying to put a toll gate in your way to prevent or to take something off you before you're able to do anything. But we can resolve those issues. With more technology, it can become easier for us to get passports using technology, which is what we're investing in. We're investing in a great deal more in technology so that there is no human interference in doing a lot of what you want to do. So you don't have to go out and see someone before you can get a passport. You don't see someone before you can get a license or any kinds of approvals. The more technology we introduce, the easier it is for people to do their business without the obstacles that are all over the place. And finally, I think that one of the critical problems, one of the critical issues for us is infrastructure. This government has devoted tremendous resources to infrastructure. The railway, for example, was the railway from Lagos to Kano starting from the Apapapot in order to be able to clear the Apapapot so that we can move goods out of Lagos. And the busiest port is Lagos. The roads, Lagos in partner expressways, et cetera, and several other roads. You know, Abuja-Kaduna, so many of the different Abuja-Kano and so many of the different road networks across the country. We've been lucky that we've had the National Assembly supporting in ensuring that this infrastructure is built. We need infrastructure. We need to build infrastructure. But we need to fund infrastructure also. And we don't have the resources, which is why we're doing so many different things. Of course, we are lending money and we're putting our money in infrastructure. If you lend money, if you put it in infrastructure, that is profitable because it means that your business environment is improved. So I see a great Nigeria. I think that we have more than the potential to go where we please. And we mustn't. We mustn't in any way allow people to talk this country down. You know, we can't. We can't allow that. Because if we do, this will be the biggest, this will be the biggest drawback for us. So I believe very strongly that our country can be great and will be great. And I see that in the next five years, despite the challenges we see today, the future is certainly very, very bright. Thank you.


What's up everybody I'm The Mangoes, you are awesome and Predecessor is going to have a stress test starting on July 30th and you can come play. I recently moved and I'm only halfway set up here so I'll keep this short. You can register for the stress test via Steam. Simply search for Predecessor, scroll down to you to see a button to request access to the stress test, click it and you're good. You'll be granted access once the servers go live. Be sure to join their Discord link in the description below to find out exactly when the servers are on. Not sure how long the game will be playable, but if you've been waiting for your chance to give this one a go and compare it to some of the other Paragon Resurrection projects out there, this is your chance. So it looks like they're going to have Howitzer in this. They didn't change his voice at all, which I'm kind of sad about, Epic did a terrible job with Howitzer's voice as far as I'm concerned, but I'll cover that later on when I can actually do a full video. Till then I hope I see you there in the stress test.


Hi everybody, it's Sam at Mixed Up Craft. Thank you for watching my tutorial today. I'm going to be showing you how to use the foil technique. I've got one that may, I may use the heat gun. I'm not sure. I'm still actually making these. I've just decided to start filming. So I was inspired by Jennifer McGuire. She recently shared a tutorial on how to use foils with no heat, no machine and it reminded me about my foils that I've got that I've been sat in my drawer kind of doing nothing. So I thought I would spend a lovely afternoon with a good movie and I've made lots of cards. So I'm going to show you all the techniques. This one here is with this lovely wood veneer that I've heat embossed and then this background is all done with double-sided tape and foils. You can see there it gives you a beautiful, lovely, lovely card. This one here, I love this sentiment.  I've just used a glitter sheet as the border there. This one, I just love the finish of it. So these are the hobby base rose dies which I've slowly fallen more and more in love with and I've used three different foils. So you see there's bits of gold mixed in there. So there's the gold and the pink, gun metal and then more gold in the stem and then I've just used that love die to match the border. This one here, real different kind of colours for me these but I thought I'd give it a go. Completely different look but again I just love that foil on the background. This one here, this is using the stencil and the heat gun. Do you know what? I prefer the finish and the results you get using the double-sided tape than what you get with the sticky embossing glue which is what is this one. This one's another really good one, just all gold and I've done that as an eclipse card. So it's really catching on the light there and you can see that that's raised up there. Just really really fun and then this one, another little Valentine's inspired one, really simple but you can see the other hearts and you do get this kind of mottled effect, a bit like aged like vintage glass mirrors which again it appeals to me. I just think that's really really nice. Yeah and it's really inexpensive and fun to do. Anybody can do this. So there are the cards I've done today which is good because it's filled up my stash so I'll be making lots of envelopes tomorrow.  So what I've been using, just get this so it doesn't all fall off, so I've been using for, when I do the kind of pattern striped background, so this one here, I've just been using this roll of double-sided tape. Mine is by Scotch, again I'll share links to that, I love this, it's what I use in all my tutorials along with the wet glue and basically I just kind of put that all across on my mapped piece of card. So that's using the double-sided tape but you also get really good results using the double-sided sticky sheets. So let me just remove one from the sheet here, the pack. This one's by Stick2Anything, again I'll share the links to that company, I really like their ones and they're made in Britain so it's always good.   So that means you're not wasting any of these sheets and if you want to use all this card you could then obviously cut off the bit that you wanted and keep that as well because that's double-sided card now that you've got to use. Sticky card, sorry. Okay, there we go. So grab, sorry I've got loads of stuff piled up on one side, I haven't got my bone tool, I've left it on my desk but basically just go over, just make sure it's all stuck down. Okay so that's all now stuck to the card and then you can peel off, just find the end there and just peel off the top piece. Now what I would say is maybe do it in stages, if you know the design you want to do then don't peel it all the backing off at once, just do it in stages because one thing you need to be careful of with the foil is don't let the, I'll make more sense in a minute, but don't let the, once the foil's stuck you'll have clear left on your rolls, don't let that clear hit the sticky because it's a bugger to get off, so it's just easy if you do it bit by bit. So I don't actually have an idea of a pattern in mind, I want to do a bit of a kind of mishmash, so because I'm going to be using lots of little bits I'm going to cut off just little sections of my foils, so the foils I've got here are a range really, these all on the tubes are from the works in the UK, very inexpensive but work brilliantly and then I've also got some from WoW and at the bottom here I've got a pack of ones from We Are Memory Keepers and they all work so there's a variety there and I'll be using a bit of all of them but this is just one of those ones off the roll and what you want to do is always place it down with the colour facing up, I know it seems a bit bizarre but basically this will once the sticks it rips it off of this clear backing that's on the top, so for example I'm just gonna let's just whack this here, stick it all down and then all you need to do is rub it with your finger and you will see it kind of lift it's just like rub-ons when you you're rubbing on those transfers and they start to lift off of the actual, it's the same as that however they don't always like this one isn't really doing that but that doesn't mean it hasn't stuck so just test a bit in the corner and I can see straight away it just peels straight off like so, now remember I said don't get that clear that's why it really does stick solid to your tape or whatever is on there so you just want to make sure that you know you can still use this but I would then go right the way down here so for example go right up there so I can get all that colour off and not waste any of this like so, so I'm going to do actually I'm going to do a bit as to quite an abstract style so I'm going to lay that back down again and this is just basically stop any accidents happening you know you don't want to end up ruining all your hard work so I'm going to go right over to this corner here and stick this again making sure I don't get any of the clear I can always trim this better again on my trimmer just a little bit there in the corner just go away with that okay so that's the red done then I'm going to use and if you do have bits left over keep them keep like a little scrap draw for your let's put some silver let's do a little bit of silver here cut a bit of this off so I'm just going to go over this whole thing until all that sticky double-sided sheet is covered with whatever foil it is so let's go down there and it will only stick to where the stick is so you can see it's not it's not adhering to the red at all it's just going to where that sticky tape is so again appeal it off and that's leaving quite a good effect actually so again I'm going to use that bit see it's really quick you can make some really really quick cards doing this I'm going to go along now and just cover this whole sheet okay so I'm just putting the last bit in the middle there the green and I absolutely adore this background it's turned out really really well I mean you couldn't get this in any other way so that's it all done I'll lift it up in a second but I just wanted to say that if you've got any bits maybe they didn't stick properly just you can dab it over always make sure you've got the the the color there you don't want to be doing it with that obviously because there's none on there so just make sure and you can just rub over it just kind of pick bits up with the colors that you've done and go over there now also the another thing you do is if you feel over it and you can feel anything sticky what you can do is just grab your anti-static powder your embossing buddy and just rub over it and it will just adhere to any of the tiny little bits that may still be sticky and it just means whoever you're giving it to the recipient and that won't have obviously anything sticky on their hands but that's another good way as well so I'm just going to lift this one up a little bit on the edge there but look really cool fun background so now that can be kept as a full background and then mounted on your card with a nice sentiment on it or you can die cut it so I will show the finished card at the end of the tutorial but that's one one way so there's like the stripes and then the pattern all the same colors they're brilliant and I've used all different ones here so this is the the cheaper brand this is the wow where was the one I used from I think that one blew off on the floor of use the ones from we are memory keepers and there's not much in it to be honest I don't think they're that different at all so that's that one so now I'm going to show you using the double-sided tape roll so I've got that one there let me just grab a base this is one I've got here and basically all you want to do is any pattern you want you might want to do a couple of stripes just on the left hand side you may want to do stripes along the top and on the bottom you might want to do a border on all four you might want to do the diagonal that I've got there just going all the way down you might want to do them going all the way up in a straight line there's just so many different ways that you can do this so let's do I'm going to do another let's see I'm going to do another one that's on an angle so basically you just want to make sure that you get a really nice and that's what I done first do the middle first so go from that corner all the way down to that corner and then you know that you'll get an equal space on each side you'll get the same amount so you just want to do one strip right now through the middle and then you can leave a gap I know Jennifer McGuire she left a white gap but I've gone right up and actually like going really close so I'm just literally hovering it until it's right next to it stick that down and just do that until your whole piece is covered okay so that now is all completely covered again it's on this mat it's easy to peel off so just make sure you're doing it on something that's peelable the silicone mats things like that you don't want to do it on any other paper and then you just want to start either end or you might if you've got a set kind of pattern so maybe I will do let's stick to I'm going to do two different kind of blues so I'm going to do this as more of a masculine card so with the stripes I'm just going to take off the very end on this it's tiny one that one but I'm going to do the strips quite long obviously they're going to stretch down that ends missing a few little bits so it's for another project so just cut that off so that very end one just need to pop it no I use this bit here just a smaller pop on the end rub it over and then that will stick down I didn't go right up to the edge I might start on the next one just lay that I'm gonna start right at the edge just so I'm using as much of this as possible back to the blue again just keep doing that but just take one off at a time don't take them all off because again you run the risk of ruining your time spent sticking it all down okay so I'm just peel that off I just need to trim it but there's another nice really fun background again I'll show you the final card when I finish that one that's really cool it's playing tune crazy things with my eyes that one is so that's that once again too really radical that's your thing I mean these are foils they're shiny they're quite out there so what should I do next let's do the heat embossing I'm just gonna clear this okay so I've just got some copy paper my mat that I'm gonna be used for my card and then I've chosen this honeycomb stencil these are I meant I've used these before and I'll feature those little tutorials I put a little icon up now but I've got an idea to use the hobby based bumblebee dies with this honeycomb and do quite a fun card with it so this one you just sit it over it doesn't quite I'll probably do this as a five by five card actually maybe no because the card the mat so I might be able to do six by six sorry talking to myself there okay so that's in place then we just need where did I put my masking washi tape and you just want to stick down the card just a little bit I'm just putting it right up to the edge there just so it doesn't really move underneath that stencil that'd be enough and then get your embossing buddy your anti-static and again just wipe over that card just to remove any grease we're going to be covering all of this it doesn't matter too much but it does just help still and then just lie that over the top and I'm just lining it up at the bottom of the mat the card underneath and then again just pop a couple of bits of washi on either side like so this is just to stop it really moving around so what we're doing now is we're gonna ink over this with our verse marks this is the watermark pad and this is what are there now a sticky embossing powder will be added to which is our powdered glue basically and then we will add the foil onto that so I'm just going over and just really making sure that that is covered now just peel off the stencil carefully yeah I can see already I'm not sure if it's picking up oh yeah is in the camera you can just see where it's obviously stuck to the card so I'm really pleased with that got nice coverage and then just carefully take off so then I'm using the so this is the Ranger sticky embossing powder so I'm just literally going to pour it all over I can hold one of the ends because I can see it's not gone right to the edge and you'll see it all stick and this will dry clear so it goes on there like a snow looks like snow and then it will like I said it will dry clear once we add our heat to it so I'm happy that that's all covered pop that one there and then just pull this back okay so then you just want to get your heat gun and just spend some time I'll try and pick it up in the camera make sure it gets nice and hot that's the key thing when you do any embossing you want this to be very very hot so I'm just kind of put my hand over it until I know it's unbearable so be very very careful and basically just start off just working down the bottom there circular motions are straight away I can see you can see it's changing in the video so although it's clear it is easy to manage and see what you're doing very fingers and already I can feel it's sticky we're blowing on my foils off my desk so like I said this is just a powdered glue when it goes on and then you when you melt it you it forms a glue so now when you touch that it's sticky okay so that's all in place and now I'm going to use gold on this because it was a honeycomb theme I'm gonna use a different one I've got this one here which has got kind of a shimmer through it picking up there yeah really nice so just prepare two bits here it doesn't matter that it doesn't all cover it because you still actually get I didn't cover that whole thanks one that's when I showed you earlier because obviously this these are only I think about three inch wide rolls you can get bigger sheets these ones here the we are memory keepers ones they're bigger ones as well so but I'm showing you ways you can still do it with these ones and basically you just want to sit it over the top you don't want this to go so cold you want it to still be warm to touch and you don't want to use a bone folder I wouldn't encourage a bone folder or anything like that on it not until it's really really hard and you just want to start rubbing and you will see again it's like I said before it's kind of like that the rub-ons so once it starts moving off the top like that yeah I can see you see already it's starting to take just keep working over that until that's all stuck down so there you have it and if there's any slight little imperfections then that's fine this is you know it's the honeycomb design it's not meant to be completely perfect and again I'm just going to rub my anti-static over it and it just gets rid of any other little bits that you just can't get to and it still keeps it shine so that's that one there so I think I've kind of shown you I mean this one you can just do the these in any direction you want and then obviously die cut I've done this one as well which I didn't show this is something I done before just a strip of the pink and the red and I'm going to die cut more hearts all the way up this and do a card with that so I'll show you that one I'll show you the card for that one this one and also I think that's my favorite so there you have it there's four that I've shown you one with the heat and using a stencil and the others just using just normal double-sided tape and I really love I think this these are my favorites so I hope you enjoyed today's tutorial I've had lots of fun lots of mess now I need to tidy it all up but I hope you've enjoyed watching the tutorial and please hit the like button if you enjoyed today and subscribe to my channel to see more thanks for watching bye


It all started with food. Primal people used to grow stuff outside their caves and eat it. But the weather everywhere was different, so people were freezing to death and couldn't grow anything. So what they did was they stole food from others. Smart huh? Well, not quite. Soon enough people realized they didn't have to steal from each other. Instead they started to exchange food for things. Horses, buckets or whatever. But this did last very long. So people decided to use something else for that purpose. Something more valuable. Something rare. Something like gold. There's not much gold in the world and it's difficult to mine. Great people thought, let's get down to business. So they started to exchange everything for gold. Their food, work and sometimes even their lives. Gold is not some kind of magic metal. People decided that it had value. Also they realized that they would run out of it one day. Soon enough people got tired of carrying gold around. It was heavy and could just get them into trouble. That's when people got another idea. Why not deposit gold in banks? Governments started to print special papers called banknotes. All banknotes had different numbers written on them. This way people knew how much gold a banknote could buy. Banks became the place where people kept their precious banknotes. Unlike gold, banknotes didn't require mining. Governments could print as many as they wanted. The value of banknote started to drop. That's what we call devaluation. Bankers started to exchange different banknotes and receive huge bonuses in return. Very soon money began to rule the world. That's when a group of smart guys decided to change things. They invented a new form of currency. The one that government and banks would not control. They called it Bitcoin. To prevent forgery, they invented a complicated algorithm that would create new Bitcoins. To prevent any fraud, they decided to register all Bitcoin transactions in one digital ledger, which they called a blockchain. At first there were just a few of those smart guys. But with time more and more people saw that Bitcoin was just like gold, only better. They could buy anything with it. Meat, beer, jewelry, or even a Thai massage. This way Bitcoins became secured by the interest of smart people. So now you know how the Bitcoin came into this world. Like this video and don't forget to subscribe.

love the mission and that's why I've stayed. I've also stayed because of the people. It's such a small agency and we have such a privilege to really get to know our colleagues and it becomes a family and that's why I have stayed at the Consumer Product Safety Commission for almost 34 years and I'm really proud of that.


Hey everybody, I'm Lance Coyke and today I want to field a question that was asked to me by another trainer and that is When are you okay with letting your clients work out on their own? The subtext here is a lot of people do some exercises with questionable technique that is Risking making training not fun, right? It's like if I'm deadlifting and Round my back a lot when I do my deadlift then I'm probably gonna have a really tight back and maybe even injure my back while I do my deadlifts and you know, maybe not but Probably the likelihood goes up and so in a case like that I'm probably not gonna say hey I want you to do these deadlifts on your own if you're you know, totally green new to Lifting new to deadlifting in particular then. Yeah, I might just say hey, how about you table this and we'll go over it again next time So that's it. I mean, that's a good reason to not let that happen, but Working out is still really important fitness is still really important So I do think that everybody should do something on their own and in a case like that I might just say hey go on a Cardio machine and do some sort of continuous exercise Maybe you do some Interval work where you push really hard for 30 seconds and then you pedal really easily for a minute and a half And that allows you to really recover and that also puts some stress on your muscle and the whole time You're stressing your cardiovascular system, which we know is Very important for long-term health That's kind of my philosophy on it, right? I want you to do absolutely everything that you are willing to do and there are only a few cases where I would say no That's not okay if you as a coach, you know that They're likely to get injured then I'd say yeah, you can cut it For the most part if they do some squats and they fall forward on their toes a little bit It's okay to do squats. Okay, just say hey When you get tired, you're gonna fall forward on your toes What I want you to do is make sure that you're driving through your heels on every set of your squats Okay, especially on that third set because I know you like to relax on that third set That's when it gets really hard and you start to lose focus. So make sure you stay focused on that You just give them a directive so that they can coach themselves And I think that's a really important lesson for everyone to learn that they can do these things on their own They just need to hold themselves Accountable a little bit Hopefully that helps in deciding when to allow your clients to exercise on their own


Jesus was the first to completely wake up from the dream of time and space. And therefore, when the Spirit said through Him, I am the way, the truth and the life, no one comes through the Father but through me. That wasn't a man speaking. That was eternal Spirit taking a voice and saying, follow me, I found the gateway, I found the portal. And since Jesus is the one who spoke the words, I would say, this is the Holy Spirit or the eternal Spirit speaking, I am the way, the truth and the life. When you really start to think about it for a moment, our connection with Jesus is really our connection with ourselves. Because Jesus is a symbol that represents the self that God created, that represents our true self, our real self, that lovable, innocent self that is a perfect creation of God and Jesus is a symbol that represents that. It's a symbol that's so close to the actuality that if you really give your mind over to it, the symbol can even wash away and then you just experience this huge love and huge light. And that is the light of who you are.


On the News at 6, new lie detector technology that works by looking you right in the eye. Find out how local police plan to use it. One, from Idaho's News Channel 7, this is the News at 6. Good evening. You've probably heard the saying, the eyes are the window to the soul. And now scientists are proving that in a way with new lie detection technology. It's called eye detect. And the test gauges whether someone is being deceptive based on eye movement and eye behavior. KTVB's Gretchen Parsons got to see how it works today, so tell us Gretchen, what's it like? D, unlike a polygraph test, you're not hooked up to any wires or sensors, and there's no examiner that's in the room with the subject. The test is completely automated. The Boise Police Department just recently began using this technology to screen job candidates. Other Idaho agencies, including the Department of Corrections were at the demonstration today to see if they could also implement eye detect. There are physiological markers in the eyes that give insight on whether someone is being truthful or deceptive. So how do you detect that?  Some questions are neutral and others are to see if the person is being truthful, such as, have you ever used illegal drugs or have you ever been convicted of a crime? While an infrared monitor observes the individual's eyes. The infrared sensor takes 60 measurements per second of a wide variety of variables in each eye. Eye detect uses 16 markers in the eye that correlate with deception. That's according to scientists at the University of Utah who helped develop the test. One of the strongest is pupil dilation, but we also look at blink rate, eye movement, where the eyes fixate, which words they fixate on and other factors. For a demonstration, Harris asked volunteers to pick a number and purposely lie while taking the test to see if their deception was detected. And it worked. James Page, a polygraph examiner with Astartane Polygraph Services, says this fully automated test is a very useful alternative when a polygraph test isn't the best option. Polygraph is a technology that requires the skill of an examiner, somebody who's highly trained, they have special education. The test takes 30 minutes and results are ready in five minutes. Along with the poise police department, Harris hopes more Idaho agencies will get on board. It's anyone that wants to know the truthfulness of another individual. The eye detect is used in 34 different countries around the world, primarily in government and law enforcement agencies. Fascinating to see it Gretchen. Thank you for showing us.


We just went to Congressman Jimenez's office to deliver thousands of signatures saying do not provoke war on China.  We took this sign into his office and said this is a lie where we were confronted by his staff. They kicked us out of the office saying they were calling security. We left when they said that, but in the meantime they still called security, we have a bar notice, we can't go back for a year and it says for harassing them. Telling them they're lying is harassing. Members of Congress when they say yes, we're open.


Hey, this is Brett, and this 2018 Chevy Trax LT front-wheel drive is stock number 20J265B. I am here at Summit Automotive in Fond du Lac, Wisconsin, you're new and used car headquarters. This 2018 Chevy Trax has the 1.4-liter turbocharged four-cylinder engine, puts out 138 horsepower. This vehicle has been fully-safetyed and inspected by our service shop, has a fresh oil and filter change, all the fluids have been checked and topped off, and it is 100% ready to go. I'm going to go all the way around in this video. Inside, start it up and take a look under the hood to give you the most accurate representation possible. Silver ice metallics of color, and I show all my videos in 4K. If you like the video, you can subscribe to my YouTube channel, which is youtube.com slash summit auto. Click the bell notifications to get updates on the videos I do each and every day, as well as having access to one of the largest catalogs of vehicle walk-rounds on YouTube. This one comes with these 16-inch painted alloy wheels, no major scuffs or scrapes, on that front wheel, and it has Lion Sport 4x4 HP tires. These are 205 70R16s, and they have right around half the tread left on them. Front fender is in really nice condition. The only really imperfection I saw in the whole car, one tiny little ding right there, it does have the projector lamp headlamps, LED running lights, and the front bumper is in excellent condition. Didn't see any major dents or dings on there. That's why we do the videos, because these are used cars and they're not going to be absolutely perfect, but this one is very nice condition and the hood is in very nice shape. I didn't see any dents or dings on there, and the passenger side fender is in excellent shape as well. Passenger side wheel, no major scuffs or scrapes, and this vehicle does have brand new front brakes. We did those in our safety inspection. As you go down this side of this 2018 Chevy Trax front wheel drive LT, take note of how clean that body is, how reflective and mirror-like that paint is. I take these HD videos, so if you are far away, or even if you're close buying, you just cannot make the trip down, but you're still interested in purchasing the vehicle. You can see the car, hear the car, and have confidence in the vehicle that you're looking at before you get here. So when you do get here, there's absolutely no surprises, and you can make a smart and informed buying decision from wherever you're at. If this video helps you make that buying decision, let your salesman know that you saw the video. It was helpful and that bread sent you. Back wheels in pretty nice shape, and the back tires have just as much tread as the front tires. Coming around to the back of the vehicle, rear bumper is in very nice condition as well. I didn't see any major dents, scuffs or scrapes or cracks on there. The rear gate is in nice shape as well, and that is a manual raised gate. Back storage area is very nice and clean. Comes with the sunshade, which is nice, keeping your valuables out of sight, out of mind, as well as groceries nice and cool.  Shuts nice and solidly, and coming around to the driver's side, rear quarter looks really good. Get the roof rack rails, which are nice to tie things down up there. And for full disclosure, this back wheel is just as nice as the rest. Going down the rest of the side of the car, doors look really good. Didn't see any scuffs or scrapes or dents or dings. Looks really good. You do get the power mirrors, the intelligent access entry right here. It does have the remote start on it. Inside the LT package gives you the black cloth and like vinyl-ish leather looking interior. No rips or tears on the seats. They're in really nice condition. Does have the power driver's seat, factory floor mats, auto headlamps, tilt telescopic steering wheel, and power windows, locks, and mirrors. Take a quick look at the back seats. I'll show you how these seats go up. So basically no rips or tears back here. Latch child safety system to get these seats down. Oh, you do get a 120 volt, 150 watt plug-in back here as well. These seats go down like so. And then there's a handle right here. And they go down almost completely flat. I would say that's just about as flat as any vehicle's going to get, which is nice if you have to haul a bunch of extra stuff. And those seats go back down like so. You do get factory floor mats back here. And child safety locks on the back doors. The inside and bottoms of the doors all look really good. I didn't see any corrosion or anything on them. We'll hop inside, check out the miles, the radio, and everything that this car has to offer on the interior. You can see that this one has 62,735 miles on it. Instrument cluster is very nice and clean. It does come with the leather wrap steering wheel, cruise controls on the left, Bluetooth and audio controls on the right. This one has the Chevy infotainment system. You get AM, FM, and Sirius XM radio capabilities. This one also has Android Auto and Apple CarPlay, so you can project your cell phone to the screen. So while it doesn't have the factory navigation system, you can project your cell phone to the screen. It's like you have nav right on the screen.  And you can see that the passenger side floor mat and seat are in fantastic condition. No rips or tears. It smells very clean inside this car. And the headliner is absolutely perfect as well. You get map lights up there on star and SOS buttons in the mirror. And we'll start it up and take a look under the hood. You do get the digital speedometer there, which is really nice. No check engine lights or anything like that. There is your backup camera. You can see that is working nicely as well. And we'll take a look under the hood. I would personally like thank you for checking out the video today. And hopefully from this HD video you've been able to verify the quality condition options and of course cleanliness of this Chevy Trax inside and out. Under the hood we have the 1.4 liter turbocharged four cylinder engine. 138 horsepower engine bays. Very clean runs, very smooth. Once again this vehicle has been fully-safetyed and inspected by our service shop as a fresh oil and filter change. All the fluids have been checked and topped off. Has brand new brakes in the front. And there is the emission sticker. I would highly recommend this. There you see the lights as well. LED running lights, projector lamp, headlamps. They're all working very nicely. And once again I would highly recommend this vehicle from a quality and condition standpoint. I think whoever is going to get it is going to love it.

Maharishi is carrying my team to a champion. Yeah, right-wingers and left-wingers. There's four, actually there's five key positions that in football and soccer that all of a sudden people shine at. One of them is a striker, the smooch, the person that hangs around in the front, the linaker was one, hangs around the front and they throw their foot in there and they score, right? That's one of them. Right-wingers and left-wingers, they shine in soccer as well because they work their asses off because they act as strikers and defenders, right? Carlos from Brazil was one, one of the greatest wingers. I believe it was a left-winger ever, right? I've seen him play, right? So they work their hardest. They're some of the hardest-working members of the soccer team, football team, right? Strong center midfielder is one of the strongest, one of the people that shines in soccer. Mateos from Germany was one of them, right? Very powerful and they work their asses off and the other person that shines within, they don't get a lot of bling, a lot of love from or a lot of notoriety from the fans but from the players they get a lot of notoriety and that's the sweeper in the defense, right? If you want the spotlight, those are the positions you should be going for, okay? Now taking that tangent for soccer, I'm scrolling down,


Hello, good afternoon. My name is Kamin Lin. Today I would like to share with you some of my thoughts about my own identity. I'm a retired psychiatrist, but at the age of 72, I still don't quite know who I am or what life is all about. For sure these questions went back as far as I can remember, but they took a whole different meaning in the year 1974 when I was 28. That year I moved from Taiwan to Seattle. Why Seattle? Well, my wife and I looked at the map and there was this city that's surrounded by all these snow-capped mountains, pristine lakes, and the ocean. So I asked myself what could go wrong with such a place. Little did I know what I was getting into. We arrived in late June and the city was indeed even more amazing than we imagined, but in three days the city disappeared on me. As I started working in a locked psychiatric unit surrounded by confused and confused in patients who were distraught, downtrodden, angry, and sometimes even violent. That was when I realized too late that I didn't really know English. Often I was not quite sure what people were talking about and I had this sinking feeling that they did not know what I was saying either. It was a miracle. I didn't manage to cure any of my patients as far as I know. There are many other challenges, but here I just use driving as another example. While in Taiwan I didn't know how to drive, I didn't own a car, I didn't know for freeways which didn't exist at the time there. Two weeks after arriving in Seattle I became a proud owner of a tiny car called Gremlin. That's true. Bravely, Gremlin took me to the streets. Then we got more daring and started taking on the freeways. We were doing great except when we made wrong turns, which was all the time. Then we would end up in all sorts of new neighborhoods, sometimes interesting, sometimes scary. Forty years, forty some years down onward there are still surprises and we are still adjusting. But I finally came to the conclusion that no matter how hard you try, once you cross oceans and continents, you'll never be truly at home again and in some ways you'll always remain an outsider. But if the saying that that which doesn't kill you makes you strong has some truth to it, then as long as I'm still alive I must be alright and I must also be moving ever closer to knowing who I am and what life really is all about, right? Thank you for listening.


You cannot have a genuine conversation with the narcissist, you cannot emotionally connect to them, you cannot get them to see your point of view and this is not due to a fault that you have made, it is because the narcissist is either incapable of having a genuine conversation with you or they just have no desire to do so. Narcissists are self-absorbed and lack empathy. They only care about their own needs, when you first meet them it may seem as though they are taking an interest in you, it may seem as though they actually care about what you want or how you feel but they are just using you for their own needs, they are studying you, they are trying to gather information about you so that they can then secure you as a source of supply. It has nothing to do with them wanting to get to know you, they don't even care about you, they don't even care about your feelings or your interests, it means nothing to them unless they can use it to benefit themselves in some way. That's the only time when it might seem as though they actually care about you, when then or getting their needs met or when they have to manipulate you to get what they want and it may seem as though they care, it may seem as though they are taking an interest in you but they really don't care, it's still all about them. The narcissist lacks empathy, they cannot understand you, they cannot share your feelings, they have a limited capacity to understand or feel what you are experiencing from within your frame of reference, they have a limited capacity to place themselves in your position, they cannot relate to what you are experiencing so they cannot help you, they cannot put themselves in your shoes which leaves you feeling invalidated, it leaves you feeling alone and as though your feelings do not matter, it makes you feel as though you don't even exist, rather than empathising with you or trying to understand or feel what you are experiencing, the narcissist will project their emotions onto you, empathy is seeing how others feel, the narcissist can only see how they feel and that is what they will project onto you, they will bring up their own feelings and experiences and then project them onto you, leaving you feeling invalidated, leaving you feeling as though they weren't even listening to anything you were saying and most of the time they won't be unless it relates to them in some way, if you are not directly talking about the narcissist they won't even be listening to what you are saying, they will be waiting with you to finish talking so that they can then bring up their own experiences and then project their emotions onto you, they have no interest in what you have to say, they have no interest in what you are going through unless it affects them in some way, unless they feel as though they might lose out on something, that is the only time that they will care and even then they are still going to project their emotions onto you, they are going to shift the blame onto you and make you feel as though it is your fault, you cannot have a genuine conversation with the narcissist, you cannot have a deep emotional connection, you cannot talk about the things that really matter or really mean something to you, the narcissist has no interest in anything other than themselves and they do not have the capacity to understand or share your feelings and this then leaves you feeling alone and invalidated, feeling as though you are in the relationship by yourself, thank you for watching, I hope this video resonated with you, please like, comment, share and subscribe, click the bell icon to receive notifications for my future videos, if you have liked this video then hey, my paypal links in the video description, coaching and inquiries you can email me at notforthercoaching at gmail.com, thank you for watching and I will talk to you soon.


This video is called Solving Proportions 2. What we're trying to figure out in a problem like this is what does x have to be so the fraction on the left equals the fraction on the right or so they're proportional or equivalent to each other. So remember, if you ever see two fractions with an equal sign between them, that's what you're trying to do. Figure out how those fractions can be equivalent. So always start with your cross multiplication. So it looks like we're going to have to do x minus three times the quantity of x minus seven. I put parentheses around those simply to make sure I don't forget about anything and I remember the x minus three came from one side, the x minus seven came from the other fraction and then that equals 12 times 8 which is 96. So now it looks like my next step to figure out what x is, I'm going to have to clean up that left hand side so I'll have to foil. First, outside, inside, last. So x times x gives me x squared, x times negative seven is a negative seven x, negative three times x is a negative three x and then when I multiply the last, negative three times negative seven is a positive 21. That whole thing equals 96. I'll very quickly clean up that left side a little more by combining like terms x squared minus 10x plus 21 equals 96. Now where do I go from here? How do I solve for x? Lots of students get stuck at this part and hopefully you can recognize that when you see the exponent of two that you know you have a parabola and that to solve this you're going to have to factor and in order to factor you need everything on the same side of your equation. So we're going to move the 96 over so I'll subtract 96 from both sides so I end up with x squared minus 10x minus 75 equals zero. So now to continue our factoring we're trying to figure out what multiplies to give us a negative 75 and adds to give us a negative 10. I can go ahead and get started. I'm going to split up the x squared to x and x and now I'm going to make myself a little cheat sheet. What are some factors of 75? Well we could do 75 and 1, 15 and 5, 25 and 3 are the ones I can think of. Would any of those multiply to a negative 75 and add to a negative 10? I think they do. If we had a negative 15 and a positive 5 that's going to add to a negative 10 and a negative 15 times 5 multiplies to negative 75. So I found the correct factors by using a negative 15 and a positive 5. But now I'm not quite done yet because remember I'm still trying to solve for x. I have that equal zero to take care of. So I split up my problem into two, x minus 15 equals zero and x plus 5 equals zero. So when I add 15 to both sides I get x equals 15 and when I subtract 5 from both sides I get x equals negative 5. So this problem I had two answers. We could confirm that by plugging it in back at the beginning. I'll give myself a little bit of room here. If you didn't have that written down yet just pause your video and rewind. So let's see. If x is 15 we'd have 15 minus 3 over 8 equals 12 over 15 minus 7. Well 15 minus 3 is 12 so we have 12 over 8 and 15 minus 7 is also 8. So we ended up with 12 over 8 equals 12 over 8. So we just confirmed that x equals 15 works as an answer. Let's try the same with our negative 5. I'm simply plugging negative 5 into every time I see an x from my beginning problem. Let's see what happens. Negative 5 minus 3 is a negative 8. So you end up with negative 8 over 8 which equals a negative 1. And over here negative 5 plus a negative 7 is a negative 12. 12 divided by negative 12 is also a negative 1. So you can see that both of those fractions ended up equaling the same thing. So if x equals negative 5 we've also solved the proportion. So here is an example of a problem that has two answers.
