Today we're going to learn how to do electron configurations and how these electron configurations are used to describe how the electrons are arranged within an atom. So if we go back to the periodic table and we just jog our memory about how the elements are arranged in the different levels and sub-levels, the first two columns of elements represent the elements, the N and the S block or S sub-level, the six elements on this side of the periodic table and in what we call the P block or the P sub-level, those in the middle and in the D sub-level and then those at the bottom and up in the F sub-level. So we are going to arrange our electrons by energy level and by sub-level. The period numbers on the side of the periodic table are going to indicate what energy level you're on for the S and the P sub-levels. The D sub-levels, the D block elements, the period number does not correspond to their energy level, their energy level is going to be one less than the period number. And for the F group down here, their energy level is actually going to be two levels lower than what the period number is. So to organize our electrons into an electron configuration, we have to include the energy level, the sub-level designation and the number of electrons that are in each sub-level. So if we pick an element like phosphorus, for example, phosphorus has a total of 15 electrons that we need to organize. So we have to start in level one. Level one has an S sub-level that can hold two electrons. So our first level and sub-level will be one S two because it holds two electrons. The next, after the first level is full, we come to the second level and it's going to be two S and S can hold two electrons. After two S, we follow the periodic table across to two P. Two P can hold a total of six electrons. After two P, we come to three S. S can hold a maximum of two. And after three S, if we follow the periodic table across, we come to sub-level three P. Notice that phosphorus is not at the end of the sub-level. It's in the middle. So we're going to count across one, two, three. So phosphorus is the third element in. So there are only three electrons in the three P sub-level. So this provides the energy level, sub-level and the number of electrons in each energy level and sub-level. To double-check yourself, remember phosphorus had a total of 15 electrons? Add up your superscripts and they should equal your atomic number, which is 15. So two, four, ten, twelve, fifteen. So that means that we must have the correct superscripts if it equaled our atomic number. So let's choose another element from the periodic table. How about something like nickel? Okay? Nickel has atomic number 28, which means it has 28 electrons. So we have to start with the first level and sub-level just as we did before. One S2. The next one to fill will be two S2 and then two P6. So we have finished the second row. We're on to the third. So it's going to be three S2, three P6. After three P6, we start on the fourth row. Now four S is actually going to come before three D. So that is not in order in terms of the levels, but we are going to follow the periodic table across. So four S, the first two, after four S is when we start the D block elements. And as I mentioned earlier, the energy level for the D block elements is one less than the period number. So this is actually going to be three D. And then nickel is the eighth element over in the three D sub-level. So we're going to put our level, sub-level in the number of electrons in that sub-level. And to double check yourself, again, add up your superscripts and make sure that it equals your atomic number. So two, four, ten, twelve, eighteen, twenty-eight. So if we add it up, it equals twenty-eight. That is the same as our atomic number. So we are good. So let's do one more. Let's pick another element. One that's down a little bit farther on the periodic table. How about lead? Lead has eighty-two electrons. Okay? There we go. Eighty-two electrons to organize. So that means we are going to fill everything above lead all the way down to here. So that means all the levels and sub-levels are going to be full until we get to lead on the periodic table. So just to go through it, while we're looking at the periodic table, we're going to have one S-two, two S-two, two P-six, three S-two, three P-six, four S-two. After four S, we fill three D all ten. Now we start back with the P-sub-level again. So this is going to be four P-six. After four P, we come to the fifth row, five S-two. Again the D's are one-level lower, so it's going to be four D all ten, then five P-six down to the sixth row, six S, okay? Now one thing to note, this is where the lanthanides break out on the sixth row. So after barium, you have to come down to LA and across here, okay? The F-block is two lower, energy level is two less than the period number. So we're actually on period six. This is going to be four F. So it'll be six S-two, four F, fourteen of them, back to the D-block. So that's five D, all ten of them. Now we're back to the P-block, and it's the same as the row number, so it's going to be six P, just the first two, because lead only has two electrons here. So let's write that out. One S-two, two S-two, two P-six. Completed the second row, three S-two, three P-six. Completed the third row. Fourth row is when the D start. So after four S-two, we have three D-ten, then four P-six. Completed the fourth row, we're on to the fifth row, five S-two, then for the D, it's four D-ten, then back to five P-six. After five P-six, we're on to the sixth row. So we have six S-two. That's where we break out and go down to the lengthenines. So four F-fourteen, we come back up to the Ds, five D-ten, and then four P-two. That will be our last level and sub-level. As you can see, it gets very long, the more electrons we have. To double check, you would just add up all your superscripts again and make sure that it equaled 82. So for lead, this is a great example to talk about abbreviated electron configurations. Abbreviated electron configurations help you to write the electron configurations in a more concise way. And the way we do it is by locating the noble gas that precedes the element on the periodic table. So for lead, we find the noble gas, remember noble gases are in group 8a, the last column. We find the noble gas that comes before it. So we go up a row and over. So xenon is the noble gas that precedes lead. You're going to write the noble gas in square brackets. That represents all the electrons up to xenon. And then you will continue your electron configuration on the row that your element is on. So we're going to do 6s-2, four F-fourteen, five D-ten, six P-two. And that would be how you would write the abbreviated electron configuration for lead. So the key here is that it must be the noble gas that precedes the element. It can't just be any element from the periodic table before it. It just has to be a noble gas. So that is how you can explain the organization of electrons using electron configuration or abbreviated electron configurations.


So today I will be talking on one of the most common injuries of the knee joint which is the ACL injury or also called as anterior cruciate ligament injury. So first coming to the anatomy of the knee joint. So the knee joint includes the thigh bone as well as the leg bone but the main stability is provided by four major ligaments of the knee joint. They are called the anterior cruciate ligament, the posterior cruciate ligament, the medial collateral ligament and the lateral collateral injury. So there are four ligaments, two inside the knee joint which help in providing stability and two ligaments on either side of the knee joint which provide in sideways stability. So these ligaments are the most important structures which gives stability to the knee joint. So the anatomy or what is this ACL ligament? So this ACL ligament is a band which attaches from the thigh bone going down to the leg bone and it is situated in front of the knee. There is another ligament called the PCL which again attaches from the but it is from the back of the knee. But the most common injury that occurs in the knee joint that is about 80% of the knee injuries is anterior cruciate ligament injury. So coming to the function of the anterior cruciate ligament, what is the main function? The main function of this ligament or this band is to limit the anterior movement of the knee joint. So whenever the knee bends and straightens this ligament provides stability does not allow the thigh bone to move forward or backward. The second important function of this ligament is it provides rotational stability to the knee joint. That means whenever we twist and turn it does not allow the knee to excessively rotate. So it provides rotational stability. So one is it provides front and back stability. The second is it provides rotational stability. So these two are the most important functions of the anterior cruciate ligament. What is the mechanism of injury? When does it get injured? One is whenever there is high contact or high velocity injuries there is injury to the knee joint thereby causing the tear in this ligament. Usually in high contact injuries associated with ACL injury will be a meniscal injury that is the injury to the cushion or there can be associated other ligament injuries. The second most common mechanism of injury is by non-contact injury when there is a rapid deceleration that is when a patient is running or walking very fast and then there is a sudden stop and twisting of the knee occurs and thereby causing air to this ligament. And whenever the patient lands in a very awkward position from a certain height that can also cause awkward twisting of the knee joint and thereby causing injury to the anterior cruciate ligament. So what are the symptoms? So whenever there is an injury to the knee joint there is always a popping sound which is heard in the knee joint. So this is the most common symptom and the knee swells up there is a collection of blood inside the knee joint called eumarthosis and the patient will have difficulty in walking and also bending the knee joint. And as this injury becomes chronic that is after about three weeks the patient gives history of instability or history of giving way that means and the patient is trying to walk there is a giving way of the knee joint or instability the patient suddenly feels like he is going to fall down and there is no stability in the knee joint. So these are the common symptoms that occur with anterior cruciate ligament injuries. So what are the signs? So when the patient usually comes with these symptoms to our OPD we check one is there is usually swelling in the knee joint there is a wasting of the muscles when the patient comes and presents late. The most common presentation is whenever we try to pull the leg forward so there is excessively abnormal movement of the knee joint. So the knee joint is very unstable and there is what we call as anterior droid test positive. There is a lot of laxity in the knee joint. So these tests help us to clinically determine whether there is a anterior cruciate ligament injury. There are also certain other tests called lack of test and pivot shift test which will which aids us in diagnosing this clinically. What so once we clinically suspect that there is a anterior cruciate ligament injury we ask for a certain investigation one is x-ray to see if there is any bony injury involved. But on the x-ray we cannot visualize this ligament. So always we ask for a MRI scan to determine whether there is a tear in the anterior cruciate ligament injury. So the MRI is a gold standard investigation in diagnosing the anterior cruciate ligament injury and it is a very sensitive test 90 to 98 percent of sensitivity and it also helps in identifying if there is any edema around the bone to suggest whether the injury is acute or chronic. So the MRI is the gold standard investigation where it can clearly give us the diagnosis coming to the treatment of ACL injuries. So one is conservative the other is surgical. So when do we conservatively or non-operatively treat or in patients who are willing to make lifestyle changes and avoid the activities that cause recurrent instability. So aggressive rehabilitation program and also functional knee brace can be provided in conservative treatment. But what is the disadvantage with not treating or conservatively treating anterior cruciate ligament injuries. So whenever there is ACL tear what it does is it causes instability to the knee joint. That means there is frequent friction between the thigh bone and the leg bone. So whenever the patient is trying to walk fast whenever the patient is going down the stairs or patient wants to play any sporting activity. So this causes instability in the knee joint. So there is frequent wear and tear thereby it causes cartilage damage and it causes arthritis in the knee joint. So any untreated ACL tears leads to very ugly arthritis of the knee joint. So therefore we suggest that the ideal treatment for complete ACL tears would be arthroscopic ACL reconstruction surgery. So what do we do in this arthroscopic ACL reconstruction. So the indications for surgery like I said is recurrent episodes of giving way or recurrent swelling and recurrent instability in the knee joint. So patients who complain that they are feeling the knee joint is unstable and whenever they walk it gives way and there is a lot of wobbling that happens in the knee joint. These are the patients who require definitive surgery. So when do we plan the surgery? So we always wait for at least 3 weeks from the time of injury before taking the patient up for surgery. So in this 3 weeks we allow all these swelling the hematrhosis or the blood that is collected in the knee joint to subside. The second thing is during the 3 weeks we advise the patient certain exercises so that before the surgery the patient would have achieved almost full range of motion. So this helps in faster rehabilitation post surgery. So usually we do not operate immediately after the injury we usually give about 3 to 4 weeks of time before we take up the patient for surgery from the time of injury. So what do we do in this surgery? So we reconstruct the anterior cruciate ligament that means that we provide a new graft to the patient. So where is this graft taken from? The most common is called as the autograft that means the graft is taken from the patient himself. There are also grafts that can be taken from cadaveric labs and the third one is the synthetic that is synthetically prepared implants that are available which can be used as graft. But the most common that we use is autograft that means we take a ligament other ligament from the patient's own body. So which are the commonly used autografts? So we take grafts from around the knee itself. So they are called either the hamstring graft or it is the bone patala tendon bone graft or it is also called as the other one that we use is called as the cordyceps graft. So these are the three main grafts that we take depending on the requirement of the intubizert patient but the most commonly used among graft is the hamstring graft. So what is the technique in arthroscopy? So arthroscopy is nothing but a keyhole surgery where we do not open the joint completely. There are only about two small incisions of about one centimeter made on either side of this patala tendon. So there is a telescope which is called as the arthroscop which we insert into the knee joint. So this is the viewing instrument. So once we place this into the knee joint we can visualize this on the monitor. So first is we do a diagnostic arthroscopy that means we put the arthroscope we examine for all the ligaments ACL, PCL, the menisci or the cushions and also the cartilage. So all this can be visualized. So before actually performing the surgery we first visualize and reconfirm our diagnosis and see to the anti-crochet ligament as to what extent the tear has occurred. So once this is done we take the graft from the patient. The graft is prepared as closely in resemblance to the anti-crochet ligament. After the graft is prepared we make small tunnels in the tibia as well as in the femur and so that we can pass the graft. So once the tunnels are made we pass the graft into the knee joint along the direction of the anti-crochet ligament. So it is called as anatomic fixation of the ACL graft that means in the same direction as which the native ACL was that we pass the graft in the same direction and there are various fixation methods. So once the graft is passed we have to fix it on the thigh bone as well as the leg bone. On the thigh bone most commonly we use something called as the endobutton which is held onto the thigh bone. We pull the graft, we attain the adequate length of the graft that is needed and we also achieve the adequate tension as the native ACL and on the tibial side we use something called as the bioscrew. So the bioscrew is a biodegradable screw which degrades into the bone itself. So later on there is no need to go ahead and remove the implant so it gets degraded within the bone itself. So once the surgery is done the most important part after the surgery is rehabilitation to achieve normal function. So usually what happens once the surgery is done we put the patient on something called as the knee brace or the bed. The patient is allowed to walk from the very next day itself. If it is only an ACL reconstruction surgery then we allow full weight bearing as well. So the patient is independently walking from the very next day putting full weight bearing only that he will be on a knee brace. So in phase one we also start allowing gradual knee range of motion exercises from 0 to 2 weeks it is about 90 degrees from the third to fifth week we allow full range of motion and after six weeks we ask the patient to gradually start walking without the knee brace. He is allowed to even start slight jogging or running at the sixth week. The only thing that we don't allow from six weeks to six months is any sudden twisting or turning sports. Sports activity is not allowed up to six months because the graft that we put in has to integrate into the bone. So till then they are not allowed to do sudden twisting or turning sports but they are allowed to start jogging and running from the sixth week itself. There are certain complications that occur with this surgery like stiffness there can be loosening of the graft, there can be infection, deep vein thrombosis and recurrent instability but correctly performed surgery and very strict and supervised rehabilitation will allow the patient to achieve full function and also get back to sporting activity. So arthroscopic ACL reconstruction is a very successful surgery and it allows the patient to get back to their normal activity as well as to their sporting activity. Joining this live Facebook session if you have any doubts or queries you can always comment in the comments section below and we will further meet you in the next sessions on FB Life. Thank you.


Have you ever wondered why online art tutorials are so flipping difficult to replicate? It's just hard to get the colors right and get the same look as the artists got in the video. Like what is up with that? Well, we have some ideas for you to consider that hopefully will make you feel better. So let's get going on that. If you have struggled with online tutorials and trying to follow exactly what the person did, you've got their colors, you're using their paper, you've got the same brands of everything and yet your artwork is not coming out the same and you're beating yourself up for it, you're not alone. There's a lot of us out there that struggle with the very same thing. However, there's plenty of reasons why that happens and it's not all your fault. So don't get hung up on it too much.  Here, I'm using Prismacolor pencils on Nina cardstock. If you did this on Stonehenge, you're going to get a very different result because a different amount of pigment stays on the paper than it does when it's on Nina. So there's different kinds of supply things that are an issue or if you substitute another brand of pencil, even if the colors are really close, you might not get the same kind of result. And it's just because the person has put the colors down in different order. They've used different pressure with their hand when they were applying the pencil. They've layered it in repeated different ways. There's all different kinds of things that can cause their artwork to come out different than yours.  These drawings that I'm showing you in just a few minutes took me a couple of hours to get all the content done for this video. I'm not going to sit here for hours and show you every step of everything. And that's the way most tutorials are. They show you the important bits and they explain as best they can what they're doing. What I'm trying here is to show you that I'm using the same three pencils. And I'm going to achieve three different skin tones in colored pencil using three pencils, just the same ones. I'm not going to change them out. I'm changing the amount of the pigment that goes on the paper, sometimes by using heavier pressure, sometimes by just applying it to more areas. And I'm getting a very different skin tone result. And yes, you're not crazy. I am using purple. If you're new to my channel, and I know there's a lot of you that are new, so welcome. Glad you're here. I use purples all the time when I'm shading skin tones. Why do I do that? Because purple is opposite of all of the orangey brown kinds of colors that are on the color wheel. And those are the colors in the skin tones. So I'm using the complement of them. Just go across the color wheel to find all the purples and blue violets. Blue violets tend to work a little better than red violets, because then the skin doesn't get too pink. But it creates a really different kind of a look rather than just using browns to shade skin tones. But I'm using different amounts to get different types of skin. You can see I've got very different little girls here. They're all very different, but they're using the same three colored pencils for the skin. And the large drawing there is on my Patreon page. If you want to watch that happen. Next, let's do the same thing, the same exercise in Copic Markers, because the same principles apply. I can use the same colors in three different drawings, three different colorings, and just use them in different amounts to get a very different look. And it's not only in the amount that's used on the drawing itself. There's also the color around it. The color around everything affects how it looks. There might be a green background on the one that you saw in the tutorial, and you chose to make it a pink background, but that's going to change what the skin tone looks like because it's got all that pink around it. It's just got a different color, so you may need to do some adjusting to your artwork. So my whole goal in this is to just help you to calm down about beating yourself up, because I get a lot of people who say, boy, I just wish I could do it like you. It's magic when you do it. No, it's not magic when I do it. I do it differently than you do it, and your magic is just different than my magic. We all have our own type of magic, and I want to encourage you to just keep working at it, and just keep learning, because the more you practice, the better you're going to get. You're going to develop your own style, your own sense of color. You may decide purples are crazy. Like, why would Sandy do all this purple stuff? I think it looks terrible, so you don't use it. Use something else. You need to develop your own style as well, but this is what I do. You can see in this center one, I used a lot more purple, and I put it down first instead of putting it down after the base color. So the order can often make a really big difference in the skin tone, just because you're covering one color with another, and one is eating away at the other and lifting color out, tons of things like that. Watercolor is like a whole other game in and of itself, because then you're talking about mixing pigment and water to certain consistencies, and that's a subject for a whole different video than this one. But I hope that this has been helpful to see that the same three colors can give you a really, really different look, and it really is only the amount of the color that's used on the paper, and sometimes the order, but I've got three completely different skin tones. And again, the larger drawing of this one is over on Patreon for those who wish to support my art in that way. Now there's another way you can support my art and get some tutorials for yourself, and that is with the new app that just launched. I'm so excited about it, and it's called Art Venture, and you might find it in your app store under One Word Art Venture, or it might be two words hard to tell, but you'll recognize it when you get to my logo. Once you download it, you'll see the logo there. You'll see me drawing a rose in color pencil, and then there's two buttons at the bottom. I know it only looks like one button, but the other button, I don't know why it doesn't have color on it, but it doesn't. But there's a sign up button as well as a login button. So if you are getting there for the first time, then you'll need to sign up and just create a password for yourself so that you can access things. When you get in, you'll be dumped onto the Learn page. You have three icons at the bottom, and on the Learn page is the two classes that are currently available. Eventually, I'm going to have more in there, but one is free and one is not. But let's look at the free one first, your Art Venture, and you'll notice right away that the lock buttons are there. There's a locked icon, so you need to upgrade, and I know it's free. Why should you upgrade? It's just their way of getting you to register for it, and on the page it takes you to, it should be clicked onto the free class there. So make sure it's clicked onto that and then get instant access. Now you might get sent through a loop in your app store or something to click something else, but then when you get back, you can go see all of the lessons. Well, you can see some of the lessons. This one in particular is a free class, but every couple of days after you register is when each of the other lessons becomes available. So you'll have to wait for the second one once you finish the first. Tiny tutorials. This is the reason why I created this app in the first place is to have a place to put all of these that I keep putting on social media. Again, it's locked, so you need to upgrade in order to be able to see them. And it should have, like this one does, the button for that one should be clicked. It says $2.99 a year. What a bargain to get that kind of content, and it's going to be added to ongoing as long as they keep making these tiny tutorials. And there are sections for each medium. And within those sections you see now they're open since the class was quote unquote purchased for $2.99. And in the drawing section, there's a lot more than there are in the other sections. The reason is there might be a Copic piece of artwork in here or a watercolor piece of artwork, but it applies to every medium. So here's an example with drawing elf hats. If you want to learn how to draw elf hats on a bunny stamp, then this tutorial will help you to do that. I've got some color ideas in there for it. There's one for how to draw a turkey. So when Thanksgiving comes, get the kids and teach them how to draw a turkey. When you get done with any of these, you hit the complete button and then you'll know which ones you've already viewed. And it will take you to the next one, how to draw a rosebud. And those tutorials you can do in any medium. You don't have to be doing like drawing all the time. There is a crafter one at the end of the list, and it has three sections. The others have two and this one has three sections. There's lots of fun in the how to's on doing masking and other fun stuff. At the bottom is one called the card maker decision wheel, which is a tiny tutorial I did a while back. And the plan is to take each one of these choices that we make when we're creating a card and just start figuring out how to do a tiny tutorial around each one of them. But you could go to this page and then just randomly pick one of these and and use that for the focus of your card. I have done a couple of these blowouts of individual decisions and this one is on design and it'll give you some examples on different ways you can apply design to the card that you're making and maybe try something new and different that you haven't normally tried before. So that is the tiny tutorials class. Another thing you'll notice is that now you should have a community tab because until you register for these classes you don't get the community tab, it won't show up. So once you tap it you will see some posts in there and I've done some sections and then you can put content underneath of them. There's one where we just talk about color. Just go post a picture of the colorful things that are on your desk. What does your storage look like? That sort of thing. Not like massive numbers of pictures just show one so we can just get inspired by seeing each other's workspace. There's a introduce yourself, there's one that has to do with the first lesson that you'll get in the free class, etc. And then there's a Q&A. So if you have questions for me you can add them there. There is no direct replying in that. I'll reply in the next comments underneath, but if I have something to say to you individually, this is where they show up in the community tab. There's a messages section so I can send you a direct message and that sort of thing. So in the profile section just so you know you can add your picture and stuff, change your information there and in the settings in the upper right corner there's a place to log out if you're one of those who likes to log out of apps. I just leave myself logged in because I'm lazy so there's that as well. So links to the app both in the iOS store and the Google Play are in the doobly doo down below so check it out and I will see you again on Friday when I have a special treat for you so be sure to come back to my YouTube and I'll see you then. Bye bye.


What's up everybody? Jason here for jaspyscasebrace.com. We just sold out 2021 Panini Immaculate Football first off the line edition This is a one box break random teams number one and I got a high risk I reward everybody gets a random team in the NFL number rookie One rookie patch autograph premium edition in first off line as an exclusive You get one base emerald number to 23 and one rookie patch autograph number to 25 or less So here are the 12 customers that brought in straight up or actually more than 12 We only have to do one filler Andrew down to Carl in the last 10 spots. We sold in one filler there prism 14 and Then there's the teams guys. Let's roll it and we got ourselves a five and a four nine times. Good luck one two three four five six seven eight nine Brandon down to Michael. They go nine times here one two three four five six seven eight and Ninth and final time. There we go Got eagles down to the Steelers So brand new you have my eagles flag goes fly car with the Colts tow with the Ravens Jack with the Chiefs drilling with the Browns Jerry with the bills car with the Rams Commanders as well as the Texans Jack with the Dolphins car with Tennessee Titans and Panthers Jack with the Saints Alex with the Jaguars car with the Packers Lions Bucks Travis of the Bengals Dylan with the Giants Alex with the 49ers car with the Vikings Corey with the Chargers Jack with the Raiders Andrew with the Patriots came with the Jets Alex with the Cardinals drew with the Seahawks Harry with the Falcons Kevin with the Broncos car with the Cowboys Tommy with the Bears and Michael with the Pittsburgh Steelers So there you go If anybody wants to trade I'll give you guys a quick minute Andrew are you listening here? Well, I'm thinking trade when to close guys And again, this one is a Lucy as well. So, you know, you never know, of course We're gonna pop out of here and if we hit something massive Next we can still be just as loaded They do sell them by the case but the majority of the time max the first off the line all the big first off the line They're usually all loose So you just never know First of the line can be super super loaded Or it could be super super. Well, sometimes it can't be super bad, but I guess the big RPAs aren't the biggest, you know, but Here we go. Let go and this one out to Make sure the inventory is correct. All right. Here we go guys. Good luck First one is a breath of Ray that is a six out of 23 first off the line exclusive And that is for the Green Bay Packers and Carl to start us off. We have a jumbo Justin Fields that is a numbers patch three of 11 and That is for the Chicago birds That is Tommy you got a nice triple rally Jalen waddle for the Miami Dolphins When a jack that's 41 out of 49 nice four-color patch in the middle. We have a Little RPA I block that is a 80 out of 99 that is for shove Bateman two-color patch for the Baltimore Ravens Two more guys. Good luck Wow, how about for my eagles all-time greats Brian Dawkins? That is two out of 75 Weapon X Hall of Famer Very nice. And the last one here is the first off the line RPA and it's D'Amie Brown 17 of 18 for the Washington commanders going to Carl So we have some nice relics of Fields and waddle, but the RPA wasn't the craziest but still is first off the line exclusive So they go Carl Washington commanders there. We got beat docks We're sorry Bateman waddle Fields and Breath fibric so appreciate it guys. So again the next ones in the store. I did put up two fillers If we of course sell out the first really quickly we can always cancel the second filler and just sell straight up spots Like we did for this one. So appreciate it guys Jasper's case breaks calm


Team keep it clean. Good morning. What's going on and saying graven here with another video ain't even get my full voice yet Because I'm not all the way up yet but Somebody else who a lot of people was thought was gonna be all the way up when it came to playing this week because he ramped all the Way up to being a full Participant in practice this week was running back JK Dobbins A lot of people thought that this was gonna be his long expected return to the field He even talked about it in an interview. I'm earlier this week. Well last week technically where he spoke about Playing in front of the fans for the first time in front of the home fans for the first time because if we remember Which is crazy? He hasn't really gotten to have that experience Because if you recall he was drafted in what? 2020 So would him being drafted in 2020 his rookie year was the Kobe year So there were no fans allowed and then when there were fans allowed It was only a teeny-weeny amount and then last year he was expected to be the lead back and whatnot, but He got injured in that third preseason game so JK hasn't had that full experience of Being a Ravens running back yet. He hasn't fully gotten it yet But it'll come in due time, but Adam Schefter did report this morning That JK Dobbins will not be playing Today in the game against the Miami Dolphins and let's just read it verbatim He said Ravens continue to exercise caution with running back JK Dobbins and do not Plan to play him today versus Dolphins per league sources Yeah, this is why these guys love when players have agents so much so they can get the scoop Way before the injury report comes out when the injury report comes out and the actives inactive That comes out an hour and a half before the game 90 minutes before kickoff, but if the player got an agent then these reporters like yes I don't need the way for your little kickoff report your little 90-minute pre-kickoff report. I got my own school. But anyway So yeah, JK Dobbins, he'll be out. I know there are a lot of frustrated Ravens fans Hearing that news I'm not one of them. No I'm not It's weak to like think about it. It's literally weak to and I know some there's a lot of Ravens fans They're like, ah, no, it's okay. JK will be fine. And hey, he could be But this is one thing that the Ravens are doing that I I got no problem with because I was there last year I was there last year when there was no JK Dobbins at all So the fact that we get we're gonna get JK Dobbins for week three and Moving forward instead of a no JK Dobbins for the whole year like last yeah, I'm okay with that I'm I and I think everybody should be too. I understand the frustration cuz like man JK Dobbins He's huge in our running game and he will be our best running back since Gus isn't back yet And the other guys we got my Davis last week. Hopefully that was an anomaly He'll get a chance to rebound this week though. He get an opportunity Just don't drop the ball King and Drake. He looked like he just he'd be waiting to break along and with the right block And he'll get it eventually But yeah, man, that's that so JK Dobbins is out Somebody who there had been a lot of uncertainty on Marlon Humphrey he is expected to play Let's read that report from Ian Rappaport.  Maybe it's a pain tolerance type of thing I don't know. I don't know But I just I don't know man. I just don't want them to I don't know Let's see, but that that worries me a little bit I mean, I'll be worried especially if he didn't play to either way I'll be worried if he does play he's hurt don't want to make it worse If he doesn't play then who's gonna play but this um, this could be a good game I mean a big game for the rookies Because Brandon Stevens, he might not play Marcus Peters No clue. I didn't I ain't seen nothing. That's like a definitive on Marcus Peters yet so with uh with Jalen and more Davis and and Pepe Williams This could be a big game for them They signed Daryl Warley to the active roster so he He's there as well so It'll be Marlon Humphrey Hopefully Marcus Peters. We'll see And yeah, Kyle Fuller out Stevens out or most likely I mean it ain't confirmed yet But that's what it's looking like. But hey, we got a game today and the Ravens take on the Dolphins I really think on the in this game I think it's so important that the offense start off hot early Because with your depleted secondary your depleted defense Let's try to make they try to make their job easier because it's tough right now because again a lot of people out These markets Williams he playing Chuck lock. He playing Kyle Hampton. He played So God Kyle Hampton might need to play a little corner this week or whatnot. But no, um, just Try to make their job easier Offence got to try to make defense his job easier But especially would have depleted they are if offense could run it up from jump and they they may still have a little bit Russ a little bit of rust shouldn't be as bad as last week Even though dolphins, you know dolphins gonna bring it on defense. They gonna bring it But if Ravens could run it up early score often and early and just if they could especially they could just build a lead Oh, man, they gonna be able to lead that'd be great, but I just I got a feeling it's just not gonna be that easy I will up for it to be though, but um That would help the defense out so much if they could just really try to force the dolphins to be One-dimensional as early as you possibly can Make it to where they can't run the ball Make it to if they running the ball then they got to be stressing out about time and all that stuff And I know that wouldn't really happen till later on in the game But it can start early team keep it clean. I'll see y'all later for the live string and we out


National President Ballatino's security agencies have been charged to build trust and confidence on the people to get intelligent information gathering that will help to win fight insecurity challenges confronting the country. Global Peace Foundation Nigeria gave the advice at a one-day meeting for religious leaders and security personnel in Kaduna State Northwest Nigeria, which is aimed to enhance their capacity in providing useful information at various communities and the nation at large. The country director of Global Peace Foundation Nigeria Reverend Dr. Joseph Hayab says intelligence gathering requires collaboration between security agencies and communities, hence the need for security agencies to win public trust in addressing insecurity. Tinibu and your team show Nigeria that you are committed. Those who have been appointed prove to Nigeria that you were selected on merit by doing what is right. But you know criminals don't just disappear in a day, it will take time. So what we'll simply say is that, see, Nigerians are tired of insecurity, Nigerians are tired of the killings, Nigerians want to see concrete action to bring to an end this insecurity. Need to advise that, take this calling, take this appointment serious, don't see it like the usual thing, Nigerians need a change. See, people are hungry, people have so many issues, but it should not be compounded with insecurity. If we can solve some part of it, then there will be relief.  The forum ensures that peace-building initiatives require continuous engagement among diverse interest groups in communities for growth and development in the country. We are tired of bloodshedding in this country. Undoubtedly I know between 2015 and 2023, May 29, more than 63,111 people were killed in this country. So we are tired of killings in this country. You will quite agree with me that regardless of any social leaning, we are siblings. We are Christians, we are Muslims, we are Northerners, we are Southerners, we are Haussars, we are Iboz, you understand, originally we belong to the same family, therefore what we should do is to make sure that we do all that we can to foster this human relationship. The willingness of security agencies to open and work with people is what is missing in our country. I said somewhere and I want to repeat that when people see something, they are not saying something in Nigeria because they are afraid, if they see it, they are not safe. Build trust and the confidence of people that they are secure, whatever they tell you, nothing will happen to them and it will be long you will see that criminals will have nowhere to hide. Let people have this trust and know that and believe that these people in power or these people are security agencies mean business, it's not people trying to use us to trade.


I'm Marcia Chan. On behalf of the California Affiliate of Teachers of English to Speakers of Other Languages, I'd like to welcome you to an overview of the Catesaul Member League Portal, new in 2019. This section will show you how to access the portal, update your profile, ensure that your membership is current, and subscribe to the message boards for interest groups, chapters, and levels. Let's get started. First, you'll need to log in from the Catesaul homepage at www.catesaul.org, under Membership Member Portal, or you may enter the URL www.memberleague.com.slash.members.php. Next, you'll need to log in with your username and password.  Please ensure that your membership is current. You can find this out by going to my membership information, billing information, and you will find ways to extend your membership term beyond the current term and pay your membership dues and fees. Regarding renewal, if you are a current member, you may renew, that is, make another payment for the next term, or extend, that is, pay for a future term. If your membership has lapsed, you're not considered a member anymore, and you must join again. If you have any trouble with your membership, please contact catesaulsusan at gmail.com. Update your contact information annually. Do that through my membership information, member information, change, contact, profile, info. Let's take a look at that screen. Here's where you will change or enter the current contact or profile information, including your name, address, phones, email addresses, employer, position, and gender. This form continues to a certain area that we'd like to highlight. There are places for you to exclude or hide. However, catesauls strongly suggest that you not select any of these exclusions, except possibly telephone and maps. You may wonder what public member list means. It does not mean the general public. It does not mean all people in memberly. It means only dues-paying catesaul members who have access to this portal. There's one where we particularly wish for you not to select, and that is suppress broadcast emails. Why? Because if you suppress broadcast emails, you won't get any notifications from catesaul at all. Continuing on this form, you'll be able to select your interest groups, identify your positions, and your levels of interest. This is for our demographics in catesaul. This does not sign you up for anything. It only tells catesaul about the membership, who we are, and what we're interested in, where we teach, what levels, and in what roles. Add your photo so that catesaul members can connect your name to your face. Where do you do that? In my membership information, go to member information and you'll see upload or change photo. If you put a photo there, then we'll be able to put a name to a face, and that's great for connections. Now, let's talk about message boards. In the member menu under communication, select message boards. You'll see a list of all the message boards that are currently available. They are grouped as such. Board councils, chapters, interest groups, and levels. And finally, at the bottom is a section for catesaul job board. Check the box in the first column opt-in for each chapter, interest group, and level that you wish to subscribe to. If you're a group leader, please also select the appropriate board council. Beware, if you don't check a box, you won't get notifications from that group. Notifications for message boards. In this example, catesaul tell and top are checked. You can subscribe, that is opt-in, to as many message boards as you want. Click on a group name to view the topics. For example, in catesaul top, the first two topics appear in the topics list. Click on a topic to view the posts to the thread. Here's an expansion that shows a message I sent out and the first two or three respondents. Oh, we have some question marks here. A gray silhouette with a question mark indicates you have not yet uploaded your photo. Go to member menu, membership information, upload your photo. Let's make connections. Member elite message boards are email enabled. To create a new topic, submit an email to your group. For example, for teaching a pronunciation interest group, from your member email address, send email with an appropriate subject line to catesaultopatmemberleap.com. That's the board here, catesaultop, teaching a pronunciation. You can see the email catesaultopatmemberleap.com. How will you know what the email address is? Generally speaking, your chapter interest group and level coordinators will post the email address or you can find it on the message board like this. For example, this board is called catesauladult and the email address is catesauladultatmemberleap.com. This one is catesaultop, and you can see the email is catesaultopatmemberleap.com. This board is catesaultop and correspondingly the email address is catesaulccatmemberleap.com. Pretty simple, eh? Now let's talk about how to respond to a message. This might be different from other email groups that you belong to, so pay attention. To reply to everyone on the message board, simply click reply to an email. So when you click reply, don't think that you are replying to one person who sent out the message.  Now suppose you don't want to reply to the entire group. To reply to a specific member, click forward and then enter the email address of the specific member or members. If you don't know the member's email address already, you may search for it by name in the member menu. Let's take a look at that. To find a member's address in Member Leap, go to the member menu and under members, select member name search. Then enter the member's name, either the first name or the last name or a part of a name depending on how common the spelling is. And here you can see I put in an example of Burek, B-U-R-I-K. Then I see that the member search brings up Burek Anthony. Hooray! Now I can see his email address. If I want to send a message only to him, I will copy this address and then paste it in my forwarding message. So that's how you can do it too. Thank you for listening. We hope you enjoy using our new Katisal membership portal at memberleap.com. If you have any questions, please send them to Katisal at katisal.org. Bye-bye.


Grass-fed beef doesn't taste as good as grain-fed, but you have not tasted this. So this is some beef fat. This is trim-fat, not suet, which comes from the kidneys, but both can be of exceptional quality. Now, the important thing to note here is the difference between a grain-fed and a grass-fed animal is particularly in the fat in organ meats. That's why you don't really hear people talk about it that much.   It's soft, it falls apart, it has a very pleasant, nutty, almost butter scotchy smell to it. This is the warm version. This is warmed up. This has been at room temperature for a little while. This is the color that it is when it's a little colder. It's not quite as orangey, but the warmth brings out the color of it a little bit. Grasted beef that we mainly consume for its Omega-3 fatty acid content. It's vitamin K2 content, and it does have some vitamin A as well, because all high-quality animal foods have some form of vitamin A in the form of retinoic acid. The point is that you cannot take a piece of fat off of a grain-fed animal and squeeze it and the softness of it, and it's desirable. They call it gristle on grain-fed animals. This is so delicious.  Now, by delicious, I mean, there's nothing that makes me want to spit this food out. Is it good? It's okay.  It tastes like beef fat with a hint of butter scotch. It's good. It's delicious. It's edible. It's a very nutrient-dense food. In the context of a hunter-gatherer who just killed an animal and opened up the animal, this is what would taste the best in its natural state. You try just to fight over this, they swiss, swiss that lived off of dairy cattle, used to talk about the carrots noise in the grass, giving the color, and they worshipped it. They were literally light candles with the fat and the butter from these animals.  You could, I don't put salt on it, I don't think it needs it. You could put a little bit of honey on it that makes it taste like, pretty much it's like you're eating honey, but it's beef fat. And then you're like, okay, Frank, where do I actually get this well? Any local farmer during the spring-summer months, the cows will be on higher-quality pasture, and even lower-quality grass-fed beef fat is good. It's tasty. It might not be as tasty as this, but to me, it's not as big of a deal.  And in regards to pricing, I've been able to get this beef fat for as little as a dollar a pound, and I've seen people sell it for as much as six or seven dollars a pound, but it's never been prohibitively expensive. In the United States, it might be a little bit harder to find, because I mean, I see videos of slaughtering animals in Australia and New Zealand, and those animals always have this type of fat on it. So if you're looking for this, it's not going to be like, go online and click it and order it. That's not what it is. I talk to a bunch of different farmers, I talk to a bunch of different butchers, I asked them what I could get. And even this is frozen. This is a food that you probably will never get fresh. So thank you guys for watching. If you'd like to support me, I always tell people, please just, hey, share the video, let someone know.  If they don't like carnivore diets, tell them, hey, if they're a farmer, hey, say, look at the difference between this fat and that fat. Hey, if you think I'm crazy or whatever, just for whatever reason, whatever, that you would share this video with that person, tell them that and share it to them, okay?   And then just, I think I have one thing linked right now. Just sometimes I put down other podcasts and other YouTube channels that I've been on. So again, thank you guys for watching. And please let me know if there's any questions. Try to keep the sourcing comments. Like, I've told you how already to get it, you know?  And they didn't want to give me my money back, so what are you going to do?


okay thank you say my name's Christine Gardner from the Open University and I've been working on on a data analytics project with Alan Jones David Chapman and Helen Jeffries Alan and David are both part of the TM355 module team as am I that's a communications technologies module with the Open University Helen Jeffery's is also part of our communication and our computer communication school. I'm not directly attached to the module but she does work with a lot of the Open University stuff in our school. So just to tell you a little bit about the module itself, it's a distance learning module. Most of the materials are print based but as it's a level 3 module that equates to sort of the third level at Conventional University. There are some quite difficult concepts within the module. So we've developed some online resources to supplement the printed text. The focus of this research project is actually on those online resources that supplement the written text with the module. The module itself is divided into three blocks. The first one is about signal processing and the second block is about coding and error correction of those transmitted codes. And the third block of the module is about those kinds of topics. So if we just have a quick look at the sort of outline of this research. There are two main aspects. We're using data analytics in the first part of the project. And specifically what we want to know is how students on this module engage with the technology enhanced learning and teaching tools that we've devised to help the students with those tricky topics as they get to that point in the module. We want to know whether they're using the tools at predicted points. We want to know if they go back and use those tools again. And we want to know if the kind of student engagement is changing with the different presentations of the modules because we don't know whether this previous presentation was typical, for example. But to supplement that, we also wanted to interview some of the students just to get more of an insight into how they're using the tools. Do the technology enhancing tools actually help them to understand the topics better? Or are they deterred from using these online tools because they're too complicated or they're too time consuming, et cetera? We really want to know a bit more about why they're using them or why they aren't using them. So what we actually used was this analytics tool, analytics for action, which was developed at the Open University. What we've actually been doing is looking at the analytic data, investigating specific issues and where we are at the project in the moment is identifying actions and prioritising those actions before thinking about selecting the methodologies and evaluating outcomes. So this is a walking progress report at the moment. What we're trying to do is actually see how specific students are using the online tools. But the analytics for action analytics tool actually identifies how students are using particular tools at a top level. It doesn't give us the actual detail on which students are using which actual online resources. Just to give you an example, this first example at the top is actually showing the discrete cosine transform online tool and how students are using it. If you look at the top there with the blue bar, that's actually an assessment point on the module. With this particular online tool, you can see that the students realise that this particular topic is relevant to their assessment at the end of a block and they've gone to the relevant tool and they've used it. There's a very obvious peak there. If you look at the screenshot at the bottom with Hammon codes, there's actually a different pattern use there. Again, the blue bars are indicating assessment points. The first one is the end of the first block and the second blue bar is the end of the second block. The third blue bar is the end of the third block. With this particular online tool, you can see that the students have used the Hammon codes online tool throughout the block. There's some peaks and troughs, but it's been used throughout the relevant block. Then there's a peak at the end where the students have gone back and used it for revision. What we did was actually have a look at how the students performed during the exam at the end of the module to see if it made any difference whether the students actually used the online resources of revision time and also question them to see if they didn't use them. Why aren't they being used more extensively? A lot of time and effort has gone into devising and developing the tools. We'd like to know a bit more about why they are or are not being used. The particular prompt for this research was an exam question that was set in the 2016-2017 presentation. It was based on error control codes. One was a block to topics. The exam scores for this particular question were relatively low. We knew that there was a specific online tool which would have been very helpful for the students had they used that tool in their revision. Using the analytics for action, we could actually have a look to see how that tool was used and whether it actually made a difference to those students. The particular question was not a popular choice for the students. We could have a look at the top level data. We could see this particular tool was used in the relevant block of the module. Some of the students went back and used it at revision time, but only about 20% of the student cohort actually used the relevant error control codes online resource. What we wanted to do was check the analytics data. We could see that there were a subset of students that we would like to investigate further. That is those who actually answered that particular exam question. We worked with the tel team to interrogate the analytics data more deeply. In particular, we wanted to know if those students who answered the question actually used the associated online tool. To supplement that, we also wanted to ask the students questions about whether they used the tool and also check to see if the analytics data was actually given us the type of responses that we were expecting. When we actually looked at the data, we could see which students used that particular online tool. What we found when we matched that to their exam scores was the overall exam score for that particular question was 45%. For those who didn't use the technology enhanced learning and teaching tool at all, their exam score was 30% overall. If they used that particular tool at least once, their exam score averaged at 53%. If they used the tool specifically at revision time, the average score was 52%. If they used the online tool multiple times, they actually averaged out at 58%. Although this is quite a small sample of students, it was encouraging to see that the data actually was looking like those students who used the online tools were actually performing slightly better. As it was a very small sample, we wanted to see if this particular group were any different to the cohort as a whole. We used a different predictive online tool. This is a tool that is used by the student support team to see whether our sample of students who answered that question were any different to the students who didn't answer that question. Looking at the overall predicted pass rates, our sample was very slightly weaker than the cohort that didn't answer that question. We had 0.85 probability of passing versus 0.87. There's no particular reason why those students should have performed badly on that question. What we wanted to do to follow this up was to find out a little bit more about why students were or were not using the online resources. We interviewed a small sample of students and had some quotes from them that seeing the coding in practice and having interaction actually helped with their understanding of the topic. The online resource is also very good for self-testing and that was noted by several students in the sample. One of the comments from the students was why wouldn't you use these resources? That's exactly what we were trying to find out. Obviously there were also some negative comments and a comment there, just a video clip, didn't really have anything, but overall the comments were relatively positive. What we want to do now is actually to progress this. What we think will help is to give some indication of the time needed for the activities and then add some descriptions on what kind of activities they are because some of them are interactive of different types. Give some indication of what they're like, promote them in the student forums, possibly have some sort of talking heads on how students are using the interactive tools and also mentioning them in our introductory or revision sessions that we're producing for the module. We're in this phase now of actually thinking about how that will best work. We're going to produce some descriptions of the activities and review the use of the technology-enhancing and teaching tools for the next presentation, add advice to a revision podcast and interview the next cohort of students and then see if that has actually made any difference. What we also do is consider additional guidance when we come to the mid-life review of the module itself. I'm going to say any questions. Thank you very much. Any questions for Christine? I can't seem any come through me too. Obviously you're very welcome to do that. A question here from the floor. Can we just wait for the microphone please? I'm Richard Treat also from the OU, so I'm in the total team. I was just interested. So it was just video. It didn't actually get the students to practice anything or do anything? It was interactive, so the students were using various interactive tools to input different data, for example, and actually playing with the interactive tools. So it wasn't watching videos. It was interactive. OK. So Helen's here who was also working on the project. OK. So it wasn't just interaction. One of the questions at the top. The data you showed there, the sample size isn't massive, but it does show some compelling evidence. Had you thought about carrying out some statistical analysis just to see whether or not there was a statistically significant difference between the samples? Yes, so we haven't done that because the sample size was so small. That was why it seemed to make more sense to sort of compare that cohort to the other students who answered the questions. But it's certainly something that we can look into so this is sort of a work in progress. So I think what might be useful is to actually break down that cohort of 48 students into those who did reasonably well compared to those who didn't and then review their online tool use further to see whether there's any difference there and then possibly work on that data to see if there is some significance there. Maybe one more question. Maybe I'll ask it then. You were shown aggregated data there and it was the only chance you could actually look at individual students' usage patterns to see any interesting categorisation of use. Yes, that was where we managed to get the student details from the aggregated data to go back and see how those particular students answered the exam questions. But that is something that to say we can work further on that to break it down to see who did well and who didn't do so well. Thank you very much indeed.

There are a couple of competing forces in my life, in my approach to life. One side being very open and creative and wild and free, and the other side being very orderly, controlled, methodical, and for most of my life I was heavily on the open creative side with almost no discipline, which left my output, my actual work as a confused mess. And so it's been in the last few years that I've really worked on developing order and discipline and have noticed tremendous improvements in my life through greater order and control. But the order and control and discipline in and of themselves don't provide meaning. They don't provide the answer in themselves. They are only tools that can help us to live better lives, but they don't fill life with that meaning and joy and aliveness. So there is always this tension between controlling ourselves, disciplining ourselves, living within this orderly system, which can be very effective, but then at the extreme of it is to have the feeling of robots, the feeling of going through the motions, even if we go through highly efficient and well designed motions, ultimately we still die. Ultimately living a highly disciplined orderly life does not give us a full life. So that's where that counterforces on the other side of simply being wild and free and creative and spontaneous and responding to the moment and being open to whatever comes blowing with the wind, going with the flow, and this kind of passive receptive side of life. Of course it can still be very active, but it's passive and receptive in the sense of responding to the moment, responding to what life gives us, being open to the surprises and subtleties of the moment. So there is that kind of passive receptive quality to it, whereas discipline and control is very active in the sense that we set guidelines for ourselves and we carry them out as an active program. But of course taking the open creative side to the extreme, having no discipline, no focus, then our energies are scattered, scattered and dissolved. So this contrast and this tension seems to be a permanent, continuous thing, it's a dynamic of life. It's a yin and yang, but the thought that I had today is just a little thought. I thought about minimalism, simplicity, the essentials, this kind of aesthetic, this kind of philosophy, this approach, this principle of minimal simplicity. It seems to me to have the ability to, there's something about it that brings both sides of that tension together. Minimalism contains both the orderly discipline and the chaotic creativity. Of course the act of reducing our possessions and our thoughts and all the factors in our life, reducing them to simplicity, removing the complexity and choosing the essentials and then ruthlessly eliminating distractions to focus everything on the essentials. That is highly disciplined. Of course there's enormous discipline in being able to say no to distractions, to remove distractions and to focus the will and the energy on the core things. And it's the pinnacle of orderliness to have that kind of control over ourselves and our environment to establish a program of minimalism and simplicity. So it reaches the highest ideals of orderliness and discipline and control. But then at the same time, that simplicity helps to make us open. It helps to, it removes distractions and impediments to creativity, to openness, to experience, to that spontaneity so that we establish minimalism with discipline. The life of minimalism, the life of simplicity has so much room for spontaneous creativity like a blank page, a blank canvas, a silence in which music can enter. The open space created by simplicity and the disciplines of simplicity opens us up to creative possibility and allows our minds and hearts to be free to experience whatever comes in life. So as I think about this balance between the controlled discipline side and the open creative side, I see in the practice of simplicity we can have both.
