Alright, yo, it's good everyone. Nick Smith is back another rebuild if it started from the 76 has gone all the way up until Now the clip is so yeah, it's a clip is rebuild We're gonna rebuild the clip is well more like revamp the clip is these guys don't really need rebuilding there I playoff team obviously The aim of this team is just to make it to the NBA finals and win it all obviously because that's when we can end the series but With a few trades this team could make the NBA finals and actually win it all I mean the roster is it's a decent roster We all know what they lack and that's obviously the small forward position They've tried to go with Jeff Green traded for him during during this year's trade deadline But I don't know if he's the right guy to to go and get in order to make this a Championship team so we're gonna look to get a small forward But what I want you guys to do is first of all smash the like button for the next rebuild Comment down below Do you want me to do a face cam? for this for these series because at the moment for like the last couple of Rebuilds and revamps I've been doing facecams But let me know down in the comment section below because a lot of you guys will also saying that you don't want to see the facecams for the rebuilds and the revamps just because it Like you can't see like the conference and I know you just can't see certain stuff on the screen when when the facecams Are there so uh, let me know down below in the comment section Do you want me to do facecams on these videos or not? And so yeah, what I'm actually gonna do is I'm not gonna do a facecam for this episode Let me know what you think down below. So yeah, let's turn the facecam off All right, so we're back here facecams off right now. So let me know what you think down in the comment section down below We're gonna go after a small forward. So let's take a look at Jeff Green and Two second round picks and see what we can get not really anything so far apart from this trade Which as a heat fan, I mean, I really like the way that Josh Richardson is playing He's been balling in real life 85 shot three right there and we would get dang in a replacement for Jeff Green But it doesn't seem like the best trade. So yeah, I'm thinking that maybe we go after Rudy gay try and make a trade for Rudy gay send him to the Clippers Yeah, let's try and do that. So we'll give you CJ Wilcox and obviously the trades are going to go through But let's just see if they have a counteroffer. No counteroffer will give you two second round picks and Another first round pick of 2019 They don't like that and they don't have any counteroffers. So looks like we can't get Rudy gay So I came across this trade by the Boston Celtics And I think I'm going to make the trade only because I think Kelly Olinik is worth more and it's probably a better play than Cole Aldridge And we've got Evan Turner in a replacement spot for Jeff Green, which isn't bad They're both on one-year contracts Evan Turner's on a smaller contract, which I guess is better We lose the 2018 first-round pick and a second-round pick, which doesn't really matter to me I do have a feeling that Evan Turner's overall could go up. So yeah, we're gonna make the trade the Boston Celtics Yeah, we lose out or they lose out on Evan Turner. And yeah, he's our new starting small forward So we're gonna simulate to the halfway point of the season and I'll catch you guys there So at the halfway point of the season, we're doing pretty well I mean, we're in a tough conference. Obviously the West is pretty tough with Golden State, San Antonio, Oklahoma City Thunder But we're fourth in our conference, which I mean I'll take it the worst is stacked so being 37 or 16 isn't that bad and We if we just win like three games and these guys lose, I mean, we could be easily second So it's a pretty tough tough conference and we're doing well Let's have a look at how the players are playing Statistics play stats like Griffin is beasting right here 25 or 24 point six points ten rebounds playing really well Chris Paul 17 and 8 probably should get more assists But whatever red X doing really well same with Jamal even Turner's playing all right, but Deondre I mean he's 14 rebounds per game and 10 points 11 points 14 rebounds pretty much double-double So well, it is a double-double actually. So yeah We we have a lot of bench guys that don't really do much but The guys that do play I mean, they're playing pretty well. So I'll take that so yeah, let's just simulate till the end of the season and See how many wins we can get So going to the last game of the season. Can we get a win? Nope, but we finished with a fit. I think we finished with like 57 wins, which is pretty good MVP goes to Durant to look at strictly the six man goes to Joe Kim. No a defensive player of the year Yeah, there we go. There we go. Deondre getting dispensable to see jamming come was most improving Steve Kerr coach of the year We got no one. Okay, we didn't get anyone for anything. God damn Okay all the fences team obviously Deondre and That is pretty much it. So yeah, we're going into the playoffs right now who we up against we're up against the Houston Rockets So, uh, yeah, I think we should be able to get a win. Let's take a look at their roster real quick Obviously Dwight definitely not the old Dwight 83 overall, but they got James Harden who's a 93 which is pretty crazy But uh, yeah, let's see if we can beat this team and they've got Michael Beasley who's actually been balling in real life So, yeah, let's let's get this. Let's get this win. All right, you know what? I'm gonna simulate current round. Hopefully we can win the round and And He's injured, but I love the CPU adjust the rotation. We made it past the second round or past the first one I should say and now we're up against the Oklahoma City Thunder today. Any injuries to the Thunder have any injuries I really hope they do but they don't Unfortunately, they got everyone healthy to rent and Westbrook both 95s overall Man, let's let's see game one. We lose game one and two and We win game three and we lose game four. Let's simulate with Simcast and see if we can get a group Let's see if we grab a win right here Yeah, we're gonna lose that so we were eliminated Pretty early in in the playoff picture, but I mean we were up against the Thunder and this team is just super they even swept gold say so yeah, they're gonna win the championship obviously and Yeah, there you go at least we lost to a team that won the championship because then that makes me feel a little bit better But we literally just didn't even do anything with this team We literally just made one trade and that was to get like Kelly olinic and and obviously It was the other guy freaking guy from The Boston Celtic Evan Turner. So yeah, let's we don't have anyone the draft lottery. So I guess we Do we make any trades during the draft? I Don't I don't know. I don't think so So yeah, well, oh man, he's with Do I really want this guy? No, I'm good. I'll keep my money and not sign this guy I think we really need him on the squad, but we'll keep olinic Well We won't keep Dawson, but we'll keep Chris move. So yeah LeBron's there de Rozen declined Powerful soul decline, but I don't think we're gonna be able to get any one of these guys anyway Because we have a pretty sold big three already Evan Turner wants to test for your agency. We're gonna. Yeah, we'll resign Jamal Crawford We'll resign Wesley Johnson And yeah, that's pretty much it. I reckon. Oh, they all accepted other offers. Well, that's just great, isn't it? You know what we'll run Krabbit small forward. Forget about James Johnson. We'll run Krabbit small forward. Yeah, I Guess I guess we're good to go until the next season. So Yeah, it's not looking good so far. The team doesn't really have that much cap space to sign anyone and Yeah, I mean, I Don't know. I don't know like This this Clippers team is a weird team because they're not good enough to make to the NBA finals But they don't have any good draft picks and they don't have I Don't know. I don't have any trade assets really I don't know. We've got CP3 reddit crab Griffin DeAndre Olinik Crawford Tucker Johnson will we don't even have like We've got you done us. Okay. We don't really have a point guard a bench point guard. So Guess that's what we'll go after What a Dennis Schroeder would come here play on the bench You know what? This is not even that bad. I'll take this chair right here. I will take this trade Thank you for coming to the for coming to the team Dennis Schroeder You're gonna be playing on the bench six man right here for Dennis Schroeder But we really really need a small forward So I'll be down to get rid of to get rid of crab and these two first round picks even They're not even gonna be worth anything but hopefully something comes up So I literally like can't make a trade Nobody wants anyone like the only trade that we made with Dennis Schroeder, which I guess I'm fine with so We'll just simulate to the halfway point of the season Hopefully we do better than last season, but I don't know hopefully like Steph Curry and Durant and Westbrook and like all those guys get injured so we can win the championship But yeah, that's that let's simulate to the halfway point of the season So the halfway point of the season who were pretty much like exactly the same as last season We're 37 under 16 third in the conference And let's actually look at the injury. Can we look at the like who's injured? I don't even know.  So no like major injuries out for any like No superstars out. So that's kind of good But at the same time we want to make the NBA finals. So yeah I'm really banking that hopefully either the Warriors or the thumb to get injured Because the Spurs they seem to be I don't know. They're not really doing too well So yeah, let's simulate to the to the end of the season because I don't know like I Want to make a trade but Dennis Schroeder's 81 Maybe we get rid of Dennis Schroeder and two first-round pigs and see what comes up But like I want to make a trade, but we just don't seem to get any good trade off. It's like look at. Oh, wow. I mean We have to get rid of Dion Dion Drey, but I Don't know like how would Like that, huh? That trade is kind of nice right there.  I'm gonna make this trade only because we can run Nicholas between with the small forward trade Kemba for a Center When we lose the Andre Jordan, you know what? We're gonna see how this works out I want to see how this works out because now chem is gone two first-round pigs Can we get a really good player for Kemba? This better work out because if it doesn't that'll be annoying. Oh Oh, we're just not gonna get anyone. Oh My goodness Wiggins though Wiggins Yeah, I'm gonna take this trade. I gotta get Andrew Wiggins. I've got to get Andrew Wiggins. Okay, so now we have two small forwards or Actually We need a center, but if we go into free agency. Oh Oh There's no really good centers. Okay. Okay. Okay. We're good. We're good. We can trade Alan Krab Alan Krab and Tyce Jones and get a good center, right good center any good centers boom bar bar Jodovich and Frank Kaminsky Yo, why are they offering us really good small forwards now? Why couldn't they offer us small forwards beforehand?  I will definitely make that trade and now Our team is looking sick. So we have one injury. That's Wesley Johnson. So that's not too bad But let's uh Yeah, let's simulate to the end of the season and see how many wins we can get All right, so we got one more game left Can we win it? We lost it last time and we win it this time So maybe that's a sign Westbrook. Where's the MVP Simmons was rookie of the year joke him again when six man of the year Deodre once again wins defense player of the year, but he doesn't play for the Clippers this time and Did we get anyone play Griffin this time in the all NBA second team? And wow we we traded Kemba Walker, but he made it to the all NBA 13. So so far I mean, I don't know it's not looking too good, but we're up against the Lakers I reckon we can simulate the round and we better win. We're up against the Lakers. Thank you very much now This this is where it gets tough We're up against the Golden State Warriors. This team is absolutely insane Steph Curry, Dreymond Green, Clay Thompson, they got no injuries as well. Oh, they don't you got Harrison Barnes engine Do we have any injuries? I don't know. We got Jamal Crawford and that's it So, uh, yeah, let's simulate game one. Wow, we win game one simulate game two We lose game two simulate game two game three. We lose game three. You know, let's simulate with some simcast We might have to hop in the game If it's closed, we're up right now. We wow, we're gonna blow the Warriors out in this one So that's awesome play Griffin almost a triple double Chris Paul. That's a double double So nice game tie the series up to two. Let's simulate with simcast once again I'm hoping it's close and we can hop into a game or it's not close and we can just blow them out Well, this game seems real They just went zero to a hundred real quick.  So now we're facing elimination for the second time Please don't lose in the second round simulate with simcast right here. I really would like to win this one Okay team. Okay team. I think we actually will win it. We do just win it Play Griffin drops 24 and 11 JJ ready drops 23. So it's into a game seven right now We're into a game seven Here it is game seven. Do they have any injuries and do we have any injuries so far? We don't have any injuries, which is really good. And what about them? Do they have any injuries? let's take a look and they Just have who they originally had in Harrison Barnes. So what about? Let's put the coaching up right here. I'm giving all my good guys Heaps of minutes.  He can have 30 yet Yeah, that seems that's that's good. All right Right here up against the Golden State Warriors game seven simulate. All right, let's do this Please get this win right here Clippers. Wow. We're actually winning. Don't give up the lead. We did it We actually did it Chris Paul dropped 26 and 9 The term drop 21 and 9 ready jump 18 This was a great game and we are advancing. Please be the Timberl's Oh, no now we're up against the frickin thunder. This team is crazy good like How do you stop a team that has Westbrook and Duran both frickin 95 overalls? How I mean we beat the thunder we beat the Warriors at least but still like Simulate game one we lose game one We lose game two. Let's just simulate with simcast simulate with simcast. I always seem to have one I would see look at this. I always have much better luck when I simulate with simcast grew from drop 30 and 15 So series is series is two one Simulate with simcast once again in my bed if I said like really weird. I'm a cold. So yeah Yeah, let's simulate. I already told you guys that I think but oh no like oh wow. We we have to lead We actually have to lead. Please don't lose this lead. Please don't lose this lead. Oh My good. Oh, okay. I'm hoping to the game. I'm hoping in the game one minute 30 It's it's time. I've got to get my Los Angeles Clippers never thought I'd say that But I'm going to get the Clippers to win this game Wow, oh Westbrook's injured Westbrook is injured. Please be out for a while after this game Wow, why did we leave frickin to rent wide open? Alright, you know what time it is pick and roll with Blake Griffin Let's do this right here. Good screen CP3. You're wide open. Thank you very much, Chris Paul tied game. Oh Wiggins great still by Wiggins feed it. You know what? Okay, let's throw it down. Let's hold down. Let's slow it down. Oh This is you're on DO waiters. If you don't score this right here. Thank you very much.  Oh No, don't leave actually that's their waiters. That's the only way that you know that deal waiters cannot shoot Okay, all we have to do is hold it up get a good look But I can see a huge mismatch right here Huge mismatch feed right here. That's Frank Kaminsky. Yes, do we what right here? That's Frank Kaminsky Yes, do we what had you missed that shot? How did you miss that shot?   All right, so uh, it's uh, I guess we'll go with CP3 Well, look at that putting on the moves, but I'm getting a screen from Blake Griffin right here Getting a screen from Blake Griffin. That is a good look. There it is. Oh what feed Blake Griffin? That's too easy. That is too easy I meant to pass the Blake Griffin not Frank Kaminsky instead Frank Kaminsky fees play Griffin and we win game Two that's how you win game two. Oh wait, no game four serious is tied to two But Westbrook is injured. So I want to see how long he's injured for let's look a crit No, who was that Russell Westbrook's injury? Please be out. He's out for one to two weeks This could help us a ton. Let's simulate with simcast right here. If we freaking lose Is he playing? Is he playing through the injury? He actually might be but If we lose to the thunder without Westbrook, that will be really annoying All right, we're doing pretty well. I might have to open this game if it's super close But I think we might come out with the wind and we what?  We have to win two games back to back now. Oh my goodness. Are you kidding me? Actually, it's pretty it's really close. It is so close. I can feel it. Just take the lead We took the lead. We took the lead and we win the game Let's go black Griffin played really well. Christopher got a triple double and now we'll play another game seven Already played a game seven versus thunder and the thunder actually look at this the thunder played a game seven in the second round So do we and now we're facing another? Okay, whatever game seven right here simulate with simcast Do not lose this game. Let's go Pleas just I really would love to make to the NBA fuzz. We started off so actually we're coming back We're coming back. We might be able to win this game if I can hop into this game That would be good, but we actually might be able to win it without me hopping in the game And we do we do win it. Let's go Chris. Hold up 25 points and We finally make it to the NBA finals and I tell you the awesome part is we beat the Oklahoma City Thunder We beat the Golden State Warriors and now we're up against the Charlotte Hornets Yo, if these Hornets with they have Deon Jay Jordan and Dennis Schroeder, but if these Hornets and crab But if these Hornets Beat the Los Angeles Clippers that we frickin beat the Thunder and the Warriors to come to this NBA finals That will be annoying simulate game one. We lose game one.  We win game two lose game three What are you kidding me right now? How is this possible? Oh? Wow, that's why okay. Let's lower some minutes Give JJ ready these minutes right here because these guys are all sorts of tired we'll give the two minutes and Frank community. Let's look at let's simulate game right here. We win game two Let's simulate with simcast tie the series tie the series and force the game seven Please do it and we just do it. Thank God for that. We crisp old man He almost gets a triple double and you wings played well. All right. Here it is game number seven We we have to play six games in in round one seven games around two Seven games in round three and seven games in the NBA finals simulate with simcast Don't lose to the frickin Charlotte Hornets. Look at that first quarter. All right I think we want it. I think we want it. I think we blow them out in the NBA finals Let's jump in we frickin won in our second season, which you know to be honest We could have even won in our first season, but yeah I guess we've got really lucky that roster Westbrook got injured and that's how we won because I mean I Don't even know how he meant to the NBA finals Honestly, we should have lost to the Warriors We should have lost to the Thunder and the Hornets were up 3-1 and we somehow came back I don't know don't know how it happens, but I yeah, I guess I guess we won this so Yeah, I'll see you guys once we're in the game I guess we did make a few trades, but we only really got Batoom, Marjanovic, Wiggins, Frank Kaminski and then just these guys who came to us and for agency But we didn't really like all we really got rid of was DeAndre Jordan and Jeff Green and our picks And we ended up with Batoom Marjanovic, Wiggins and Frank Kaminski, so I guess that's pretty cool to be honest like that's that's pretty cool And the awesome thing is we were facing up against DeAndre Jordan Well, actually no, I guess we did make some more trades. We just like we we we got The guy from the Hawks who's actually we're actually get we're actually playing against him, right? Yeah, we are Dennis Schroeder, but I don't know why he ready to play at the one But uh Yeah, you know what? Let's let's fade away right here.

Okay, so you spoke of the shift from objective to subjective. So, to possibility. So we have this obsession or this focus on the object. And one could say that the entire spiritual journey basically begins with shifting from focus or attention or perception on the object to like the very very line of perception itself. And then to the very subject or the perceiver. So, nice, that that is sort of like the main part you could say of the initial part of the spiritual journey is that. And then, when you shift to the subject, and you recognize that the subject is actually the one infinite creator it's actually God, and that's the same thing that's looking out of your eyes, and out of everyone's eyes.  And this is what I wrote in high level perception that first book that I wrote that you're checking out and chapter two is called seed theory. Yeah. And so in seed theory, you have basically a analogy that you're drawing between the tree of possibility from the seed and all of the possibilities that branch. Hey one sec actually at least I don't mean to cut you off but I think it would be powerful if you shared screen if you have it pulled up there you could share screen and you can click on it because I see the illustration that you're talking about in front of me, or if you make me a co host I can share my screen for you. I think showing them. I just love how on point you are because that's going to make it so much better for sure. You know what I mean. Yeah. Okay, here we go. Boom. Sweet so that's chapter four go to chapter two. Okay. Oh you read that is chapter. Okay. See there right here. Well, it's like a map. Nice. Sweet. So, so if, if you tune into possibilities above everything, and you recognize that everything that's objective is downstream of what is subjective of what is the focus or the imagination or the will or the creativity of God of the one infinite here. So, then you feel more and more okay. So why don't I tune into that seed level the possibility space, and I make this analogy with the tree, and I see that out of all of my like possible trajectories in life that I can persistently constantly focus on and choose the preferred state and my preferred frequency which is oneness Shambhala service coming from there, and also seeing in that North Star position igniting global awakening the mission are protecting Shambhala's across the planet, and nothing being higher than that. And so then your, all of your focus in imagination is on that, and as God as the one infinite creator with the stylist painting. And so then guess what happens is within five years 10 years 15 years this entire planet is saturated with spiritual kingdoms, and then guess what happens is somebody 15 15 years later turns and asks themselves. Hey, well, how did this all happen. How did the subject or the imagination become object of Shambhala's across earth.  And so we manifest the external and so focusing on the possibility space is so critical and also focusing simultaneously on the seed level of basic needs needs being met is what enables people from around the world to be able to have clean drinking water, and have food and have shelter and not have deceit diseases, and just have energy and abundance. So that vague themselves can also turn inward and ask themselves the question who am I what is I what is my nature, and also get through any layers of separation or lack or location or these types of things. And then it becomes easier for us to prosper as a planet so the basic needs which you could say are the physicality actually fuel the subjective as well so they're in a feedback loop with each other. And then the objective. So that's why it's so important to have the simultaneity of both. Yes, yeah.

It's Easter, and Alice, Phil, William, and the children have just returned from church. Oh, I certainly was proud of you two this morning. You look positively adorable, why, everybody said you were the sweetest and prettiest things in the Easter parade. Thank you, dear. We're talking to the girls.  Thank you, Mommy. You look beautiful, too. You look so pretty in your new Easter outfit. And so young, too. The lady sitting next to me in church asked me if you were my sister. She did? Well, that was very sweet of her. How did she happen to talk to you, dear? She lost her glasses, and I was helping her look for them. She should have quit when I was ahead. You did look young, sis. Didn't she fall up? She certainly did.  Never mind. Now, I must have looked young. Even the minister commented on it. When I walked into church on your arm, he said, Happy Easter, my child. And I'm glad you brought your father this time. He said that about me, huh? Yeah. Well, just for that, when I solo with the choir, I'll sing off key from now on. From now on, he says, You haven't hit a... You haven't hit a true note since... Please, Willie, please. Alice, I may not look as young as I used to, but I noticed a lot of admiring glances cast in my direction during the parade today. And, small wonder, I was impeccable in my striped trousers, cut-away coat-and-flowered booton-a-rare. Well, I must admit you look nice, Bill, but nobody notices a man in the Easter parade. It's the women who attract attention. Some of those outfits today were dazzling. Did you notice Mrs. Cook in her flowered Hawaiian print? How could I help noticing her?  She looked like the opening of a new restaurant. I thought she looked lovely. And, Mommy, did you see Mrs. Martin? She had on a beautiful green organ-y dress. Yes, and I loved her a mylon straw-cut-wheel hat. And did you see Mrs. Roberts? She had on a beige shantung dress with that lovely mink stole. And did any of you girls notice Mrs. Consulman? No, I didn't film. What was she wearing? She looked ravishing in a Hanmacher street-linked suit of ice-blue satin and tulle with a flared peplum. And her hat was a pearl-studded cloche of matching satin and phyla-dorned with sheer allusion veiling. The blue was repeated in the shower of delphinium blossoms pinned to her lapel. Her ensemble was set off by accessories of a canvas water bucket, wrap leggings, and a leopard skin garter belt, worn on the outside. Oh, she must have looked silly. Imagine wearing a flared peplum with allusion veiling. The wrap leggings you liked, huh? I thought my girlfriend looked lovely. What girlfriend? Well, the girl I came to church with. She was sitting between me and Mrs. Johnson. I didn't like that. I thought that was Mr. Johnson. They'll stop making fun of Willie's girlfriend. I think you ought to apologize to her. All right, I'll apologize to her. Willie, I think your girlfriend, Ruda Vega, looked very pretty. Her name is Violet. Well, I knew it was something that came out of the ground. Look, Willie, I can't understand. Uh-oh, I'll get that. Happy Easter, Curly. Oh, hiya, Frankie. Happy Easter to you. What have you got there? Some presents for the family. I got some chocolate bunnies for the kids, a plant for Alice. And here's something for you, Curly. I got you three pairs of shorts. Well, that's very nice of you. What made you buy me shorts? You said you wanted them. When did I say that? When we were driving downtown in your car the other day, you said you needed some new seat covers. I wonder what would have happened if I told him my valves needed drying. Do they? I know a cheap doctor. Wait a minute, Ram. Hey, but no kidding, Ram. I appreciate you bringing those nice presents. Happy Easter, Frankie. Hello, Alice. Happy Easter. Say, you're looking mighty cute in your new spring outfit. Thank you. Uh, nobody's commenting on the way I look. This is my new Easter outfit. How do you like my yellow shoes? Oh, is that what they are? I thought you were standing in two egg yolks. You do look very nice, Frankie, but where did you get the money to buy a new outfit? I got $100 from some guy yesterday. Oh. Did he put up much of a fight when you rolled him? Don't be vulgar. I got it legitimately. Okay. What are you doing with the $100, Ram? Well, I bought a whole new outfit. Underwear, shirt, suit, hat, shoes, socks, and... ...spats. As a result, I don't have too much left at $100. How much you have left? $85. Where do you buy your clothes, kid? That's Skid Row? Hey, what are you going to do with the rest of the money, Frankie? I'm going to take Alice out for dinner. I want to repay her for all the kindness she's shown me over the years. She took me in when I was broke. She clothed me. She fed me. She gave me money when I needed it. I know how you feel, Frankie. You should. I did the same thing for you. Are you taking me to dinner, too, Frank? You want to. You can tag along. Thanks, Remly. You should do worthwhile things like this. You should do them more often. What do you mean? I don't want to sound like I'm preaching a sermon, but I've heard people say the early bird catches the worm and there's a lot of good logic in that old cliche. There's certain obligations you just can't shirk. You've got to put that heat on to make that kettle perk. And if you want it to be a good day, you've got to do a good day's work. You've got to dig, dig, dig, dig for your dinner. Nothing's what you get for free. You've got to dig, dig, dig, dig for your dinner. The never was a money tree. And furthermore, my friends, I must repeat, nobody's walking down that easy street. And if you want to live where baby grow, you're going to get an awful lot of no-series. You've got to dig, dig, dig, dig for a dollar, taint as simple as you think. You can't purline a sirloin or the butcher will put you in the clink.  You've got to get off of your twig so you can afford your room and your board. And it's nice to have the price of a sig. You've got to pay that Hitler man if you want to do a jig. You've got to be as happy as a bee to be a Mr. B.I.G. And if you want some dig, dig, dignity, you've got to dig, dig, dig, dig for your dinner. Dig, dig, dig, dig, dig.  You've got to get off of your twig so you can afford your room and your board. And it's nice to have the price of a sig. You've got to pay, old Hitler man, if you want to do that jig. You've got to be as busy as a bee to be a Mr. B.I.G. And if you want some dig, dig, dignity, you've got to dig, dig, dig, dig for your dinner. Dig, dig, dig, dig, dig. Yeah, excavate. Where are you going to take us to dinner? Any place you want to go. Money's no object. Pick out the fanciest restaurant in town. Just say the word and I'll take you there. Romanoff's. Sorry, that's not the word. We want to go to a slanky place. Well, naturally, that's where I intend taking you. How about Chauncey's Midtown? I never heard of the place. Is it expensive? Oh, yeah, but it's worth it. They give you a lot of food. Why, for a dollar, you can barely carry a tray to the table. Oh, right. Never mind the cafeterias. We want you to take us to an expensive place. Why don't you take us to Pierre's French restaurant? Okay, I'll take you to Pierre's. After all, what can it cost me? Maybe 30, ouch, dollars. Oh, Bill. Bill, before we go, I want to call Mother and thank her for the flowers she sent. I'll be right back. Okay, honey. Hey, Remly, it's sure nice of you to take us out to dinner. Oh, that's all right. Wait a minute. Come in. Well, look what somebody sent us for Easter. Bugs Bunny. What do you mean Bugs Bunny? It's me, Julius. Oh, I'm sorry, kid.   The fine way to greet me after I came all the way over here to wish us a happy Easter. I even brought you these lilies. You brought those lilies for me? Oh, thanks, kid. Let me have them. Okay, lie down and I'll break them across your chest. All right, kid. Will you beat it? We ain't got no time for them smart cracks now. Mr. Remly's taking Mrs. Harris and me out to dinner. Would you mind repeating that ridiculous statement? Who's taking us out to dinner? I'm taking them out to dinner. Be at the Salvation Army soup kitchen. I'm not taking them to the Salvation. I wonder what their entree is today. Right. If you bring your drum curly, we won't have any trouble getting in. You're taking us to Pierre. I'll bring my French horn. Gee, I wish I could go with you, Mr. Remly. My folks went away and left me alone and they forgot to give me money for my Easter dinner. Oh, that's a shame, kid. I'd be glad to take you with me, Julius, except for one thing. What? I wouldn't be found dead at the same table with you. But, Mr. Remly, I'm hungry. I'm starving. I ain't got no money and if you don't take me to dinner with you, there's only one thing left for me to do. What? I'll eat at the Brown Derby and charge it. So long, you cheap scoundrel. So long, so long. How do you like that? He has a charge account at the Brown Derby. How could he? They only give charge accounts to movie stars. You probably think he's lassy. He looks like anybody. Hey, Curly, I got an idea. Pierre's is too swanky. Let's go to a restaurant that's a little less formal. I know a spot downtown with real atmosphere. I'm with you, Remly. You're buying that. You'll love this place, Curly. They have checkered tablecloths, candlelight and wine. Well, fellas, I'm ready to go. Oh, good.  What do I need music for? When we get to the restaurant, somebody might ask you to sing. Who's going to ask me to sing in the restaurant? Me. I get the meal cheaper that way. Well, I'm not going to sing in public, but if you want me to, I'll sing right now. That ain't going to save me any money, but go ahead. I hear singing and there's no one there I smell blossoms and the trees are bare All day long I seem to walk on air I wonder why I wonder why I keep tossing in my sleep at night And what's more I've lost my appetite Stars that used to twinkle in the skies Are twinkling in my eyes I wonder why You don't need analyzing It is not so surprising That you feel very strange but nice Your heart goes bitter pattern We know just once to matter Because we've been there once or twice Lucky Put your head on our shoulder You need someone who's older Down with a velvet glove That I'd love There is nothing you can take To relieve that pleasant ache You're not sick, you're just in love I hear singing and there's no one there I smell blossoms and the trees are bare Your heart goes bitter pattern You know just once to matter Because we've been there once or twice Lucky Put your head on our shoulder You need someone who's older Down with a velvet glove To relieve that pleasant ache You're not sick, you're just in love We're just We're just in love Oh, there it is, there's the sign This is the place Remly, I don't like the looks of this What's the matter? Well, look at the sign Clancy's Italian restaurant and emergency hospital Those are two separate signs The hospital's next door to the restaurant And don't worry about the food Let's go in Nobody ever died eating here Unless they don't pay to check Grog! That's here, Grog What are you doing here? I am now in a restaurant business I took this place over from Clancy Would you buy it from him? You might say that You wouldn't be right, but you might say it Grog, and you didn't force him out of business At the point of a gun No, please, I do not believe In resorting to physical violence Clancy's still around He's my, my silent partner Doesn't he have anything to say about the business? How much talking can you do from the bottom of the river?   Well, first of all, I'd like a clean tablecloth What's the matter with this one?  Oh, I suggest that you try a specialty What is your specialty?  Oui You're so dangerous You're shy, so boulevard to soire Hmm, but silly girl All right, Marie You know, we may be in a little trouble I noticed the menus are printed in French And all the waiters are talking French I only speak the language a little In that case, let me handle it Do you speak French currently?

What's up everybody? This is Jim from the Edge of Tech and I just wanted to say welcome to all the new 3D printing enthusiasts that are now in our community. About a year ago, I got my very first 3D printer. It was this Ender 3 right here. That led me on a crazy amazing journey throughout all of 2019, which led to a YouTube channel learning a ton about 3D printing. And now I'm proud to say I have about 11 3D printers. But that's not without a lot of trial and error. There's a lot to learn and you have a ton of time to do it. All you have to do is go check out the forums, check out the Discord channels and anything you can find for help. My channel and there's plenty of other really good 3D printing channels on YouTube as well. If you're just getting into this and you have some questions about how to build an Ender 3 maybe, how to put together an Ender 5, maybe how to calibrate your E-steps, maybe you don't know what that is. All you have to do is check out the playlist that this video starts. It'll go through a ton of stuff that comes straight out of Luke Hatfield's help guide. If you don't know who Luke Hatfield is, you will soon, trust me. Also, don't forget that anytime you're in any of the Facebook forums, there is a search feature on every forum. So if you're looking for something specific, try searching it first. Or try the little files section. There's plenty and plenty of profiles. There's Luke's help guide can be found in there. There's all sorts of really cool stuff that's meant for beginners like us to get to a level where we feel comfortable 3D printing. Once again, welcome to the community. I hope you love 3D printing as much as I do. If you ever have any questions, please feel free to reach out and ask. All you have to do is comment on one of my videos I try to get back to as many as I can. Also, you can find me on social media. Just reach out if you have questions. We'll definitely here to help you and we'll definitely get you rocking and rolling. There'll be plenty of stuff listed in the description below from Facebook groups to the Thingiverse link to anything you need to get started. So don't hesitate to check those links out and have a lot of fun doing what we do. Once again, welcome to the community. My name's Jim and this is The Edge of Tech.

In trying to foster innovation and entrepreneurship, policymakers all around the world are trying to understand the Silicon Valley growth model. And in Europe, for example, they're asking, where are the European Googles? Why are all these funky companies like Apple, Amazon, and Facebook coming out of the US? And the answer that we've actually heard to this question is that some countries, for example, some of the southern periphery of the eurozone, just have too much state, too much bureaucracy, which is actually impeding private venture capital, the entrepreneurs, the garage tinkers, to be able to do their thing, to be able to welcome failure. And often, this juxtaposition is very much, if you want, explicit, even in the media, where we're told, for example, that the state is a big Leviathan, which is meddling and impeding innovation because of its heavy hand. The economist, of course, is one of the proponents of this. And this has actually caused lots of innovation policy to focus on getting the state out of the way. We need less red tape, less taxation. And in arguing for this, we often hear that, yes, of course, we need some state. We need the state to correct market failures, to invest in infrastructure, skills, education. But actually, the really revolutionary spirit, which actually created Silicon Valley, really is focused in the private sector. And so what the state should do is create the conditions, facilitate that wonderful dynamism. So my question to you in the next five minutes is, where did this juxtaposition come from? Is it a fabricated image? And what is the point of this image, almost a cartoon image that we have of the state as a Caffeine bureaucracy? Is this actually impeding our ability to build what I call an entrepreneurial state to do what Silicon Valley actually did? So what actually did happen in Silicon Valley? What is revolutionary about your smartphone? What makes it smart and not stupid? Well, all these technologies behind it, which were government funded. Steve Jobs was very smart. He was a genius in putting them together in different ways. But these revolutionary technologies were not funded in the private sector. Now, when I give these examples, people often say, oh, but you're just talking about the military industrial complex. Well, no. Examples go to energy and to health. The NIH actually is responsible for the most revolutionary new drugs, these new molecular entities with priority rating. 75% of them are actually coming out of these boring, casky, and public labs. And when we look at the actual investments, the investments were not just about basic research, which is your typical public good market failure problem. It was also applied research. It was also, God forbid, early stage seed funding coming from government. Government as venture capitalists through, for example, these SBIR loans, Small Business Innovation Research Program, which you can see here in this graph, have actually become more and more important in advanced capitalism. You shouldn't be surprised as finance has become increasingly short termist. Where do you get the funds to fund innovation, which takes much longer than the venture capital cycle, which is all focused on the exit in three to five years? We need patient long term committed finance. Now what I'm basically describing to you is the state as entrepreneur in the sense of being willing and able and courageous enough to take on that upper right hand quadrant. Be one of the lead risk takers. Now one of the problems is if you've ever taken finance, there's in theory a relationship between risk and rewards. Now in thinking about the state as one of the leading risk takers, the question is, has it actually also gotten some reward back? Well, the tax system, which is the way it should be getting back that reward for its risk taking, hasn't really worked. We know that many companies which have received such huge benefits from the state through both the technologies and early stage financing do not pay back much tax. In rethinking this risk reward mechanism is fundamental. I mean, had the government just received even just 1%, it should be much higher than that percentage there, back from the internet, think how much more money today there would be to actually be funding green growth. Now unfortunately, because we privatized all those rewards and haven't thought about really specific mechanisms, for example, the government retaining perhaps a golden share of the IPR, retaining some equity, or income contingent loans. We have it for students, why not for companies? That would make growth not only smart, innovation led, but also more inclusive. Now, how do we achieve growth that is both smart and inclusive? It's not going to happen by itself. We need to think about mechanisms. And I want to encourage you to do two things. First of all, get rid of this image. It's a fabrication, which I would like to say has justified a theft, just like the image of the lazy Mexican under the palm tree justified the theft of half of Mexico by the US. If you want to look into that image, it's fascinating it happened at a very specific time in US history, this image is a false image which is currently justifying a theft from the public sector, which is funding some of the biggest risk in technological change, which we know is a key driver of growth. And my question to you is what do we do about it? What are the concrete mechanisms? Equity, golden share of the IPR, income contingent loans, let's at least have this conversation.

This year we celebrate the 25th anniversary of National Volunteer Week. This year we are celebrating the power of volunteering. And when one looks across the Australian society, we see volunteer work at every level of the way in which the community operates. A particularly important group of volunteers are those who are involved in emergency service delivery and emergency management. And in particular for CFA and SES volunteers who operate within the sector. This is a time to pause, to reflect on the contribution that our wonderful volunteers and in particular our emergency service volunteers make to the community. We would all be the poorer and indeed life would be far worse without our emergency services volunteers who perform a critical role under very difficult conditions every day, 24 hours a day, 365 days of the year. This is a time to celebrate every individual who volunteers. It's a time to thank them, to thank their families, to thank their communities and to thank their employers, whoever they may be. So to all of you in CFA and to all who are involved in emergency service and emergency management volunteering. On behalf of CFA, I'd like to say thank you for a job well done. You do essential work, it is appreciated. And in this National Volunteering Week we pause to celebrate and acknowledge that vital work you do in the community. Thank you, job well done, keep up the good work.


Greetings, RISC-5 friends. I've built a tester. It uses an Adafruit FT232H board, which allows me to hook this up to USB and then send out GPIO or I squared C or SPI or whatever I need. Now I've also used these 40-bit IO expanders, so I have four of them, that's effectively 160 signals that I can send out. And those get connected to the backplane. So now I can test any card that I build by manipulating the signals, sending them out, and reading the signals by reading them in. And there's also a little power connector over here. And if you want to see a little bit more about how I constructed this, there's a live stream where the link is down below. Now I built two of these cards with the intent that one would test the other. So I would output signals from one card and receive them with the other card. And of course, if they match, then the testers test out fine. And a friend of mine wrote a program in order to test the signals. Now each one of these FT232H boards is loaded with its own serial number. And there's a whole set of instructions that I wrote up on how to get this to actually work under Windows 10 and Python 3.6 with the latest version of the FTDI libraries and so on. But in any case, I've written on the board the serial number of which board I've got hooked up to which tester. HT is just the last two characters. There's actually eight characters in the serial number. So what I've done is I've modified the program so that it basically zeros out all bits and then outputs one bit and receives it and then zeros out all the bits and outputs the next bit and receives it and so on. So this way, I'm basically testing every one of the approximately 160 connections. There are a few connections that don't map to the bus. And so let's run the program and see what happens. So as you can see, we're testing the bits and each one of these is one chip. Oh, and we just got an error. So we're just going to, and we got another error. So we're just going to go through all of the signals on all of the chips. So let's take a look at those errors and see what they actually are. So what we're seeing is a failure and this is what we expected. So for U2, so there are five ports of eight bits each and there are four chips. The five ports are labeled IO01234. So here what we see is that bit, let's see, 01234 of IO0 was set to one and yet we see bits three and four are received. So that's weird. And here is, let's see, the next case where we have IO1 bit six being set but nothing being received. Now, I think I can explain this failure. Here's a close-up of the chips and you could see how finely spaced these pins are with respect to my finger. Now, when I originally soldered these in, unfortunately, what I didn't notice is that I had some solder bridges between some of the pins. Now, on most of the pins, consecutive bits correspond to consecutive pins. So it is a little suspicious that the error that we saw was for consecutive bits. Now, here's the output stage of a typical pin on this GPIO expander. It's basically a MOSFET on the top and a MOSFET on the bottom. And that's basically all there is to it. So the idea is that if you want to send out a one, then this signal activates this transistor and this signal basically deactivates this transistor on the bottom. So that you get a path from positive to the output. And similarly, if you want to output a zero, you turn off the top transistor and you turn on the bottom transistor. And that allows current to flow that way. And that sends out a zero signal. With a solder bridge, what happens is this. We have two consecutive pins, each with their own driver. And unfortunately, their outputs are shorted. Now, what happens is when you activate one over here and you activate zero on the next pin, that forms a path between the high side transistor on one pin and the low side transistor on the other pin with no resistance in between. Now, these transistors have a maximum current capacity. And of course, just connecting them like this will definitely exceed that current capacity, which would result in damaging one or the other or both of these transistors. And of course, the same thing will happen when you output the next bit is that you will get a path from the high side transistor to the low side transistor. So it would seem that with a solder bridge running the tests would cause one or all of these transistors to be damaged. Now, here's the output again. And my theory as to what's happening is that we turn on the output. So we turn on the top transistor. Now, when we turn on the bottom transistor and turn off the top transistor of a damaged port, it's possible that this does not actually activate. So in fact, what's happening is that this transistor is deactivating, but it's damaged so that it continues to conduct for a little while longer. And if you've seen my series on MOSFETs, you'll know that the gate actually forms sort of a capacitor with the MOSFET. And in order to turn the MOSFET on, you basically have to put charge into the capacitor until the transistor turns on. In order to turn the transistor off, you have to drain that capacitor. And if you simply disconnect the gate and don't drain the capacitor, the transistor will remain on until the capacitor over here just sort of drains naturally. Now, these transistors are of course smaller being on a chip instead of being a discrete device. So the capacitance is gonna be a lot smaller. So it's not unreasonable to think that if this transistor is damaged or this wire is damaged or whatever, that this transistor will remain on until the capacitance here drains, which could be a fraction of a second later, which would appear like a stuck bit. So that's what I think might be happening. And this was all due to the fact that I had solder bridges between pins that I didn't notice and then I ran the test, thus damaging the chips. Now, of course, that's just a hypothesis. I have no idea if that's actually true. And it was a little disheartening to see the sheer number of solder bridges that I just didn't notice. So what I did was I put together a third tester and this time I checked every single pin to make sure that it was not connected to the next pin over. So there are guaranteed no solder bridges on this board. Now, I've taken the transmitting or output FT232H from the damage tester and put it onto here and no, this would not have been damaged because the only thing that this board does is speak I squared C to these chips and the I squared C bus is fine. I've also built, it kind of looks like a scoreboard. Really all it is is a board with a bunch of jumpers and LEDs on every signal on the backplane so that I can actually see the state of every signal. And if I wanna test the inputs of this board, I can actually jumper whatever signal I want. Now, I'm going to do this test by simply outputting one bit at a time and just watching the board to make sure that none of the bits get stuck. So let's see what happens. Okay, so here's the LED board. These lights are on just because they signify that power is being provided. And starting up the program now. Okay, and that was it. So of course, the last bit is on because we didn't bother clearing the rest of the bits. So this seems to be fine. Now, let's go and grab the bad board or what I hypothesize is the bad board and see if we can actually see anything. Okay, so I have put in the bad board or what I think is the bad board and I'm only testing U2 and I'm only testing port one because that was IO0, sorry, port zero because that was IO0 and that was the one that was displaying the problem. In addition, I'm having half a second per bit. So let's see what happens now. Okay, I didn't see the problem. Let me run it again. Okay, and again, I still do not see two LEDs going off at the same time. Now, this may very well be because just the load of the LED alone is enough to sort of drain that faulty transistor. That's another hypothesis. So now the next thing that I'm going to do is I'm going to take the good board, the one that I believe is perfect and test it against the input board that I was previously testing against to see maybe if the problem is with the input board. So here we go and I'm going to test it and looking for U2 specifically. Uh-huh, we got a failure. Okay, this time the failure is with bit seven of IO0 where we did not receive anything. So I do know that when I set bit seven of IO0 of U2 that I know that the LED goes off, turns on rather. So maybe the problem is with this input board in which case what I should probably do is make a totally new board and use that as the input board and make sure that there are no solder bridges that everything is perfect with it. All right, so I've gone ahead and put together a second board and tested it with the LED board and all the outputs seem to be functioning properly. This is the original good board. So now I have two good boards at least in theory and these are the hypothetical bad boards. So I'm going to set this up as the output, this up as the input and see if we can get all of the bits to work. And here we go again, testing outputs to inputs and U4 passes. So what I like to do is run this test a few more times just to make sure that there isn't some marginal output or input, okay? So I've tested that twice and it works fine. Now what I'm going to do is I'm going to swap the FT232 boards so that I swap outputs and inputs to make sure that the opposite direction is working. And there we go. All bits are working properly in both directions. So I now have two testers, which means that I can use them to test other boards, such as the ALU. And I've built the ALU. The only thing that I haven't done is program the flash ROM chips, which will flash the ALU RAM. And the other thing is that we've learned that it's extremely important on these chips to make sure that all pins are not soldered together. Solder bridges are very bad, especially when you've got two outputs that are soldered together. And when I put this board together, I was very sure to make certain that consecutive pins were not soldered together. And in fact, I will probably do a final pass through every single chip to make sure that none of the pins are soldered together because I don't want to damage this board. There are a lot of chips on here, even on the back. So hopefully next time I will have this ALU board programmed and then I hopefully will be able to use the tester to stimulate the ALU. And it looks like this episode turned into an episode of Rob Tries To Fix A Thing.


Thanks for joining us here in Geneva for the AI for Good Global Summit 2018. My next guest is Renato de Castro. He's a smart city expert. Hi, Charlotte. Thank you very much for joining us. Great pleasure. So, smart cities, it's a movement, so how does AI fit in with your vision? Yeah, well, smart city, first of all, is not just the use of technology, but society is evolving to a new perspective of economy. We're talking about the creative economy, sharing economy, circular economy, the process of co-creation. Embedding AI on this process can really empower citizens to have a more active voice in the decisions of the city. So I think that that is the core point that we've been discussing here in this event. And can you share concrete examples with us, for instance? Yeah, well, we came with a new concept yesterday. In the track of smart cities, there are a lot of space now for what we are calling empowerment as a service. It's exactly the—well, use technology to create apps, to give more opportunity for people and also to save or to solve very important problems. We saw, for example, a project yesterday for gender abuse, and they are doing their in South Africa. So the women, they have this app that not only—it's like a chatbot that talk to them when they have this kind of problem and help them to identify or to clarify that this is exactly a problem, because in some cultures, the abuse can also be misunderstood in a different way. It's cultural, but abuse, we have already a global understanding about this. So the chatbot, the artificial intelligence is helping women to get aware about this problem and also to report the problem. Because AI is only one of the different sets of technologies you can be using to deliver this smart city vision. There are plenty, and they all have to converge and get together to basically make people's lives easier, right? Yeah. Well, I have a romantic definition about smart cities, because there are a lot of technical definitions. My opinion is smart city, or under the perspective of the citizens, smart city are places where everything seems to be conspiring to make your life better. You even don't need to understand what is behind, what are the technologies being used, but you feel that your life is better than it was before, and that's smart city. Yeah. Well, talking about the technologies, it's not just AI, but we have blockchain now being applied also for smart city. Well, all the concepts of machine learning, machines can help us to structure better our lives and mainly to find the patterns in data that we are creating in order to solve problems. We are forecasting from 2015 to 2020, 370,000 people will be great daily. So these will potentialize all the urban problems that we have. And in the other way, we also are forecasting that by 2020, we are going to have almost 50 billion connections, 50 billion things and people connected. In 2008, the number of connected things already bypassed the number of connected people. So how to put everything together to make our life better? That was the goal of yesterday in our track. You've touched upon an important aspect of smart cities as well, and it's true, because you've mentioned sensors and data gathering. Smart cities, yes, but it has to be done with the engagement and the consent of citizens, hasn't it? That's important. Definitely. And there is a very important discussion about how to rule it, how to create the standards to make these, because at the end of the day, all the data are online and they are related to our geographical area called cities, but they are available to everyone. So we need to start having some global standards and that is exactly the right house to be discussing about this, ITU, because ITU understand what's happening in the world as a big picture. And ITU has come yesterday with a very interesting project in our track about the KPIs for smart cities. So how to analyze if the projects that you call smart cities are bringing really real results or social impact or real impact for the citizens and for the economy. So that's why it's important for someone like you to be here at a multi-stakeholder platform, not just to share ideas and meet people, but to actually come up with creative and innovative solutions on the ground. I'm very honored to be here. If I have to define myself or my role in this process, maybe I'm trying to be the one in the middle of the stakeholders translating different language, political language to citizens' language to, well, private sector language, who should be doing smart cities, not the governmental money, but also the private sector, because at the end of the day cities are markets, so the PPPs and all these tools that we are using now is very important to attract investments to smart cities, but putting all these stakeholders in the same level of discussion, maybe having governments as the stakeholders that are leading, but it doesn't mean that they are on the top of the relationship. So citizens, NGOs, university, academia is very, very important in this process to hot-fire and to create the new technologies and governments and citizens, at the end of the day, everyone is a citizen, right? The mayor is a citizen, the professor is a citizen, so yeah, it's really important to bring to the human perspective. Renato de Castro, thank you very much. Great pleasure.
