Okay, I wanted to develop a new flask application. We are already hosting a few flask applications. So this will be an additional one. Okay, the flask application is around fuzzy logic. It should be an interactive tool teaching how to use fuzzy logic, the specific application we have in mind is determining the level of noise in an EEG signal, particularly thinking EMG chewing artifacts detection. Okay, regards the front and the interface, we do want an interactive UI. We do not want to upload EEG at this stage. For testing, we would like to use synthetic EEG. We would like to have some sort of scroller that moves through synthetic EEG data. The data should have baseline EEG and periodically have an EMG chewing artifact. Fantastic. Dr. Beno, if you need further assistance or specific details regarding the implementation, feel free to ask. Good luck with your project. I need you to make the flask application. Creating the flask application requires several steps and I'll guide you through the process. Since I can't code the entire application for you, I'll outline the key components you need to implement. Given the complexity and specificity of your flask application, utilizing GitHub co-pilot could be highly beneficial. Okay, I want to continue developing the code. Make sure we have a scroller for moving through the EEG signal. The EEG signal should have EMG chewing artifacts presented periodically. We also would like to display how the fuzzy logic is making decisions about the probability of the signal being clean EEG or contaminated with EMG artifacts. Yes, we'd like to integrate a proper fuzzy logic system for the analysis of EEG data. We would like to look at features like amplitude and frequency in the first stage. We would like to set the membership functions using trapezoid shapes between zero and one with three trapezoid for each, low, medium and high. So we should have low frequency, medium frequency, high frequency, and the same for amplitude, low amplitude, medium amplitude, high amplitude. Next, we'll design the rule activation functions and aggregate the output using a centroid method focused on the data preprocessing, implement preprocessing of EEG data to extract amplitude and frequency features. This looks pretty good already. We haven't tested that yet though. Can we make sure the fuzzy logic is actually integrated in the code? Can we make sure that the EEG synthetic data looks realistic and it has all the necessary components? Same for the EMG. At this stage, we'll be only testing synthetic data. We will test with real data at another time. We need to make sure the front end is integrated. Yeah, this goes from windows not scaling properly. We're using chart. Oh, it's using plotly. I don't know what's better. That is the same. Yeah, before it took quite some time loading it. So let's actually check with chart.js. How many we have the EEG chart and a button? Why do we have a button? Well, we don't need any buttons at this stage. I don't think unless there's a really good reason for it. Just load synthetic data when the page loads. Make sure we have the scroller though we would like to load a segment of say 100 seconds, sampled at 250 Hertz. Yeah, let's place it in this panel. It won't work with it. We already have now by 2DS we do. FFT back is with 2, frequency is not being accessed. Why is this meant to be? That's wrong. Is it to be average frequency? Okay, that's wrong. It's the other function that's missing. Fix this one. Analyze EEG gold. Just get rid of that root. Don't get it. Let's do some rubbish. Alpha to risk. Right, at least doesn't have any obvious errors. Right, still fixing HTML. What was the problem before? All right, please make sure the CSS file starts and using the following colors throughout and save it. Did update the CSS using project colors. Seems like it did. Just make sure it's not using any other colors. It's randomly selected which color to use where, but we can fix it later. And let's see if it runs at all. Let's try again. Right, let's do something. Yeah, don't need any of the other stuff anymore. What avocados? Something missing. Something is missing. It's format document. It's only 80 lines of code. Something is missing. And before we go into the HTML, just make sure all this container can be... What? How do you comment out in the HTML? Okay, let's get rid of it. Yeah, because there's a comment in the middle, so then you can't comment the whole section. HTML is silly that why it's meant to be data in there. Let's pop this in. There's no EG data visible in the chat. Let's see if it can fix this for us. Stone load like this? No. Let's turn this into a separate section. Turn this into a separate section without using... Okay. What? And where is the... Still in the fetch EG data, don't we? Now let's accept the file path. It works, but yeah, I'll just sum up first. Yeah, originally we had this phasological application that meant to detect an input waveform. It wasn't working quite well. It was generating a lot of false detections of false positives and false negatives. So essentially, misclassify the input waveforms. So we started a new phasological application. There are a couple of things that we need to fix. First, we need to make sure the EG signal is actually visible. Currently, I only see red screen in the chat. Second, we would like to display the whole fuzzy logic, detection, decision, processing in charts, like the membership functions and the rule aggregation. So, classification and de-facification in separate charts. It's generating... Generates a big EG. It's not defined, but it is there. I think it's the water of this thing. It actually returns the output. Okay, so now we have that function still ever. You're not destroying a chart or something. How we meant to be destroying this chart. Destroy the chart. Let's try this first quickly. Right. Okay, we have the... It's actually surprising that it looks like the GTG. It's some frequency in it, but where's the scroller? The scroller is Gonski. Yeah, to the last... So it's able to... The good thing is the port. It's able to fix stuff. And this is the output I get. It looks like a legit EG. That's good. The scroller is... I think it's visible, but there is nothing to scroll through. And also, how do we make sure the EMG chewing artifacts within this synthetic EG coming in periodically as you scroll through the data. It's not quite clear, but okay. Okay, I'm going to continue this next time. See you later. Bye.


Hello, hello, hello If you are in the US It's Monday if you're in New Zealand it's Tuesday, and I swear to you people. I always said I'm never gonna like eat online like how can people do that, but I did make a live video way back When I was eating People loved it. You know what? You got to give people what they want So I am having my lunch slash Breakfast so like brunch It's 10 a.m. on Tuesday.  Good morning. Good morning, and I'm just I Didn't want to work While I was eating so you're with me. So let me show you what I have first of all I have Greek yogurt with some What is the brand? it's like Keto cereal so I have No carbs. It's just like nuts and I don't know it's good Then I don't normally eat this much, but today I am I'm starving Okay, okay, can you see okay?  I mean, you know a lot of people around the world understand that the combination of tomato and Egg go really well together, but not everybody so And I don't really need the hash brown, but today it's feeling like a hash brown day. So Now let me say what would make this perfect would be if I had Citrus like a citrus fruit. So I don't have like an orange or a grapefruit or whatever But since I don't have that I have my yogurt like I got to have it's like that sweet and salty together Mm-hmm, if you eat things That mentally you love see this is why I didn't want to do this. Thanks, Kev. Look yum Then you're always satisfied and You don't overeat and you don't You know so relatively healthy minus Hash brown, but hash brown was cooked in the air fryer. So I get a win for that. It wasn't in oil. So there we go So if you don't know I'm eating hash brown with Avocado with egg on top and so you have all of that in a bite and then you have you put some Tomato in that bite, uh-huh Mm-hmm There you go. I'm telling you I have the cafe. This is $22. Hello Kim. How are you? Oh my gosh So I'm just coming on to say hi Having a chat Happy for you to ask me any questions you want as we go. Otherwise as you know, I Have no problem talking So Yeah, oh my gosh, this is like really good you guys like I cook the hash brown long enough normally I don't have the patience Mm-hmm. Well, I could use a napkin Sorry servey yet as they say here Okay, let's get the actually a topic so you're not just like what is this about I don't know if people love this gotta give the people what they want. Yeah, I love this What am I eating for breakfast lunch? Whatever? I'm happy to tell you not a secret So machine so I don't pay for the expensive coffees. I haven't a spread Sorry, Kev wait a little bit then you can make it because who says that we can't have breakfast for dinner I love breakfast for dinner. I love breakfast, but I don't eat it that much because I'm never that hungry Mmm so Hence lunch brunch Do you think we have a posh accent? Yes, I really like the New Zealand accent and I wish I could get it but I don't have it. I have this weird midwest Little bit of new york and their accent my kids do Wow, they have both they turn them on and off depending on who they're around. Yeah, that's what kids are chameleons They adapt to their environment So yeah, it's really funny like my youngest who was sitting the back of the car with his friends and like I don't even like is that you? um okay Good question. I like that question um Okay, a little update on what's going on. Let's talk It's getting a little bit colder in New Zealand Lame Like I'm cold in my outfit. Well, I have a blanket on me um You know I'm a bit spoiled because I spent most of the This the winter here in in the summer of the u.s This is just ice water and let me tell you if you make your water cold you'll drink it. There you go There's your bonus for the day Mmm Okay What has been going on? I have lots of big things coming up Not quite secured in order for me to just like Blab about it But it's coming Probably we'll know everything by the end of the week And then I will tell you exciting Hello, hello Um, and let's see. Oh, I've recorded christie christie this weekend It was funny I don't know what the heck we even talked about but it was funny. We laughed a lot. We just talked it was like We started the video and then halfway through I was like Oh, welcome to the video Like we just talked it's literally like straight up girl talk and I recorded it um, yeah, so Da da da It's coming this sunday. Mm-hmm or monday whenever I get to it Um Oh, I hate it when the avocado falls off like I need to squish it on Um, okay, let's see what else is up. What is up? Oh, yeah, my head is clearing. I must have been hungry. Um There are still more cookbooks if you want them I think it's in the description I've been it's been funny Yesterday I was cooking the sloppy joe and I was like crap. I don't have my phone because I was just like the double checklist spices And then I'm like, oh, it's in my cookbook So I pull out my cookbook and I'm like holding it while I'm making the sloppy joe and I almost it almost catches up Because I have a gas burner and I was like that would be the funniest video that I start my own cookbook on fire It was pretty funny. I literally almost did Um, so, yeah So good I've been making the pancakes out of there every saturday and my family's freaking out Why are these so good? I told you I told you I know how to make these Um So, yeah, if you are considering a move to new zealand, I have a free 50 minute master class That just goes through all the steps for you and a lot of insider tips. So that is in The link as well. If you if that's helpful to you, I just know a lot of people that will watch this later are thinking about doing that and that's where you start If you already know that you're coming or you're just trying to get a visa can help with that too You'd have to come into my community and we'll work through it Oh my gosh, what is this sloppy joe? Oh Sorry good point Here it is To a new zealander. It's basically mince on bread but on a roll But it tastes totally different than you make it. So make mine It's actually really really really good um, so I just make a bunch of it and then It lasts for days Well, I thought so and then I came home and they had eaten a million sandwiches. So I'm like great Who likes square in a food store? I hate it a plenty of Sorry friends of mine that are like, I don't like going to food store. What's wrong with you?  Then you forget something Mmm little burgers. Yeah But not really. I mean it's not a burger. It has different stuff in it It has onion capsicum Which is green pepper Or whatever I have some spices ketchup Brown sugar like that I am my daughter turned 16 last week. So I've been very busy Um, and we're having a murder mystery dinner for her on saturday And it's going to be like 1920 speakeasy so fun getting dressed up. I got her a whole outfit from the Rental place if you're in wellington area and need to get a costume go to totally frocked It was the most amazing experience and cheap Okay, sorry. I'm getting messages. Um, marina. Um, how's america at the moment? Lots of people leaving for new zealand Yeah, there's a lot. There's a lot of people pouring into my community Basically, I have a community that You come in I have 50 plus trainings on everything you know to To move here like before you move you're about to move you are you've arrived and it's just kind of everything You need to know to set up life here and thrive Do cultural training. I have some Maori. Um Like head of tribes Doing those. Um, and they're very good I have, uh Lots of cultural things about the workplace here and how it's different. It isn't just for americans but obviously like that's the people that I attract so I have people in the community from all over and What's great about it is that it also has Other people that are moving here. So you can talk to people and it's As a community I keep it small So that um You know It's just easier for me that way. So you come in you get all these trainings You get live q and a's with me once a month just any questions you have but you can also just post in the chat I'm on there. I'm in there every day. So whatever you need It's just kind of like all the support that you need and all the questions and Because going and moving to new zealand is a very big deal and it is not a linear process You don't just like everybody going through the same thing.  This is how it is So this is where the community is you can post how you're feeling what your questions are Little things pop up in your brain at 2 a.m. And then you can ask me the next day Like that's the benefit of the community in addition to that I am working out a I have worked out a system of getting my community members Set up with a visa with a job Getting any relocation support that they need if you need a moving company If you need to get a house if you need to get these things these are all coming up I'm going to announce how that's going to work But that is currently happening and if you're in my community can't get all of that So basically if you want to move to new zealand watch the free Masterclass it just kind of tells you everything that you need and if you even can And then if you can then you calm into the community and we get you all set up. It's full service It's everything you need. There isn't one thing that is not offered Whatever it is that you need is in there. So I am moving towards a full offer deal For my community members so And the reason why in the community is just it's cheap. It's like what 39 dollars a month It's not expensive But it what it does is it kind of gives you all of the things that you need that maybe you don't realize that you need And so um It's a big process you can come and go as you need This isn't community jail And yeah, so I have a lot of people in there and a lot of people moving here Um, you know all generally for the same reasons. Um It's chris. Yeah, it's christie coming over. Yeah, she's afraid of flying. So we haven't got over that yet um How many americans would be living in new zealand at the moment? There's not that many. It's probably the smallest market in terms of internationals that come here. It's one of the smallest. Um And You know, I don't know. Um, maybe because it's an election year that it's a bigger thing. I don't know but Um, you know, so, um Um So yeah, it's gonna be good. I'm here if you want to come It's not an easy country to give it. I'm not going to give you like false hopes, but you know for a lot of people Um, the immigration has made it a lot easier Am I allowed to vote in new zealand? Mm-hmm If you're a permanent resident You get all of the rights as a citizen When I become a citizen I will be able to you know, live and work in new Australia and if I was under 35 in the uk as well So that's the only extra benefit. You don't get anything more from becoming a citizen of new zealand besides getting a passport Good questions. Um Yeah, and If you're watching this and You're interested if you're a small business owner and wants a marketing I'm doing marketing strategy sessions 30 minutes with me for 20 dollars and I have two spots left so, um Message me if you're interested in that and I can send that to you just because I would always prefer somebody in my community I've been giving a lot of people from this community um moving over into debt because like Like I'm a personal brand and I don't I don't fit in one little box, right? I don't fit in the how to move to new zealand from the us box I am You know, I have a lot of other interests and a lot of other skills and a lot of other things that I do and so I've started to put that out and Yeah, I every single one that I've had somebody that is from my community Maybe have been watching for years. And so it's like really fun It's just like they realized that they couldn't move to new zealand, but they just enjoyed watching it and Yeah, so I'm doing those strategy sessions and just two left. Um Um, will you ever move back to I'd love I'd like to live in you in America. Am I missing something? um Would you cut no, I'm um Yeah, like my take on it is yeah If you want to move to the us and you want to try that out, you should it I'm telling you it is a completely different culture if you're from here Or australia or anyway And so that's a great experience like if you watch my most recent youtube video It was on the importance of living some of your life overseas and the perspective that you can gain and Really what it does is it is a real reflection on you and the The perspective that you have because it's not you don't really realize what you believe what you value What your perspective is until it goes up against something that's different And so if you go to a different country and it's different Then you're forced to deal with okay. What do I actually value? What do I actually believe? And you then can choose that instead of it just being chosen for you because that's all you've ever known Or that's how you grew up or whatever and so Watch the video if you haven't I spent a lot of time on I think it's really good but it's not getting a lot of views which I expected because Only if I talk about new zealand versus the us do I get views but you know Like I said, I'm more than that and so I have to talk about other things or I will die of boredom so I'm putting other information out into the world. Um, and we'll see Uh, yeah, so I do think that you should move to the us I can give you opinions about where? um based on what you like Do the mountain I say my name different because I have a different alphabet Actually, if I'm going to be completely honest with you Nobody in New Zealand says my name right they call me tara because it's spelled like tara and that's fair But it's pronounced tara And it's like it would be spelled t e r a it would be the better spelling of it, but it's t a r a And the mattery insist on saying my name right and so they're the only ones that say it right That's been my experience with work people with friends of mine. They're just very good at saying my name, right? Nobody else is so Who knows to you? I don't Really care, so it's not a big deal to me I know it is valued in their culture to say the name correctly and so they insist on that and I love that And I'm happy with that. Of course. I'd be happy with you calling me the right name Um, are your older children considering a move back to the states? Um, yep, they both live there now My daughter had finished her degree from otago overseas in the europe And then now she's back in the states and I think she's going to try and go to graduate school there And then my son's 19. He is at school where I used to go In wisconsin, so that's fun. They're both doing well and living their best life and of course when you move your kids all over the world like you fully expect that I have no idea where they're going to land and it's You know, it's their life and it's their option to do that and it's all good with me Okay question is if I moved to new zealand, can I study at university for free for the first year? Like citizens can Is there is the quality of new zealand universities? Hi. Oh, that's a good question Oh, let's see. Sorry. There's a lot of questions. Um Okay You cannot get university for free unless you've lived here consecutively five years For your first year free And you don't need to be a citizen. You just need to be a permanent resident Like I said permanent resident gets you the same as citizenship and um I feel like what was the other question? So, yeah, so you would have to once you're a permanent resident then you'll get resident Costs which are like way cheaper than international costs, but until then I believe you pay international costs although there are pathways for Uh degrees for masters. I think the higher level degrees masters or phd And then that may look quite different in terms of how much you owe for university there I'm not totally on top of that but can't find that out for you um The quality of the university is high. Um I would say they are not as high as the us and they are not as high as the uk I teach in it and that is my summary Um At the end of the day you get the same job with the piece of paper Whether you go here or there So honestly my opinion is I would get your degree as cheap as you can And go from there although I mean learning Learning and having quality education is good as well for you as a person So it's it would be up to you Would I recommend moving to los angeles? No Now i've never lived in los angeles um Obviously a lot of people like it there But when I was there recently, I mean it's it's actual like High levels of smog in the air like actual smog in the air that you can see And like for people that move there like their kids develop asthma like look into that Because I was shocked. I'm like boy. There's a lot of people that just move here and like this is a problem um So yeah Moving to the state of california in general has a lot of disadvantages in terms of tax-wise So look into that the state taxes and you know federal taxes would be the same everywhere But um, yeah, it's just not run that well And that's uber expensive so See Do I honestly believe a huge amount of people will leave if trump gets back in? What's the general view of that amongst your circle of people? Okay, so a couple things on that um, I stay out of politics almost completely because that's the benefit of not being there and Benefit of living here and that's my choice to do that. Um, do I think a lot of people will move if trump is elected? Yes, I think that that's a big factor and the people that I've been talking to um You know, so yeah That's for them to say What's yeah, the general the general view of like kiwi's living here. They don't understand what's happening. They're fascinated They're fascinated that this guy's winning that he's gonna might be reelected um that he has You know criminal charges against them like what's happening. You've got to understand like from the outside.  And it's it's it's different when you're there you understand it differently But those are the facts though the facts are actually the facts um, but yeah, so It's gonna be an interesting year um Homelessness is a huge problem in Los Angeles. It's expensive. Yeah Are you involved or at least interested in New Zealand? Yeah. Yeah, I'm more interested in New Zealand Yeah, and I'm allowed to vote I've been allowed to vote even with my um It wasn't permanent residency. It was my skilled migrant visa. I could vote so I've been voting the whole time So yeah, I'm more involved in the New Zealand politics. You know, um, I will still vote in the u.s election And always have um it just gives you a fairly good Giving yeah gives you a fairly good u.s experience Sorry Yeah, good questions you guys um, unfortunately, I probably have to go back to work Well, there's so much to do But I feel so much better, you know, like I was I've been struggling with those like headache I woke up at 3am and I just can't seem to get over and I think I was just hungry I wasn't like my stomach wasn't growling feeling hungry, but like I don't know. I think I was just like past that I think I was really hungry. So thanks for joining me for lunch and um You know always reach out With questions, uh, I'm here for you if you're thinking about moving here I'm here for you if you need some marketing help and I will talk to you guys later


At the beginning of the movie, the Norwegian Child Welfare Services are first closely monitoring Debaka and Unirudh's parenting of their two children. The couple moved to Norway after Debaka's marriage to Unirudh. Shubhan Shuchi, two children of the lovely couple, were born. The Norwegian Child Welfare Services did not provide any specific instructions on what the couple should do in order to be capable of raising their children. Without disclosing their future plans, they covertly make notes regarding Debaka and Unirudh's antics while interfering with Shuchi's immunization regimen. When Debaka informed her husband that Matilda and Sia had been visiting for more than four months, he expressed anxiety. He tells his wife that they must adhere to the Velford system if they want to remain in Norway before leaving for work. Unirudh's pursuit of Norwegian citizenship is his top priority, and he appears willing to go above and beyond to achieve it. The next morning, Ms. Alice Rampfjord, an Oslo senior officer, Matilda and Sia visited their house for one more inspection. Unirudh believes that completing his job and making money is sufficient, so he finds it impossible to envisage aiding Debaka with domestic duties and caring for his children. He physically abuses Debaka at home and continually insults her in public. The child welfare services in Norway abduct Debaka's children, and she suffers severe injuries while attempting to pursue them. Due to their unclean behaviors and the fact that Unirudh doesn't assist Debaka with domestic duties and childcare, it is made clear to Debaka and Unirudh that they are unfit to raise their own children, Shubh and Shuchi. A lawyer is provided for them by the Norwegian government. According to the Norwegian authorities, Mrs. Chatterjee forest-fed her children, which is illegal and is regarded as poor parenting and did so with her hands. According to Velfred, who was keeping an eye on the family, the couple hit the kids, which is considered physical punishment. The shocking part was that while these behaviors would appear commonplace to Indians, the Norwegian government has rigorous child protection legislation. Unirudh and Debaka were granted permission to see their child. She broke down in tears as a result of her emotions. The Velfred translator warned her not to cry in front of the kids and not to form family ties with her own kids because they would miss her when she was gone. Mrs. Chatterjee makes the decision to set out on a journey to define Norway's child custody laws in order to be reunited with her children. In the presence of eminent professionals, attorneys, and activists, Sunil Kapoor takes the podium at the conference. In his stirring speech, he emphasizes the necessity of changing the law around child custody in order to safeguard parental rights and maintain cultural identities. When he tells the authorities that cultural differences were to blame for the misunderstanding, his comments have a powerful impact on the audience and inspire them to become even more determined to bring about change. However, Mr. and Mrs. Chatterjee are given instructions to be better integrated with the Norwegian system and their children's upbringing, resulting in the conciliation board nullifying Velfred's order. The conciliation board decides that the mother is permitted to convey her cultural ideas with her children. Within the next 24 hours, the kids were supposed to see their parent again. As they get ready to go pick up their children, Debbie and her husband are ecstatic with the decision. However, the child welfare services overturned their decision, claiming that a fresh testimony from one of the calm others from the school had revealed that their home was unfit for raising children and that his wife was unstable. The next day, Daniel Subeck, the second attorney that the government of Norway has assigned to the Chatterjee's, takes on the welfare services. He draws attention to the fact that the welfare services lack the funding to care for the children they are snatching away, and he even claims that they are to blame for the rise in child prostitution in Norway. Daniel advises Debika to check her language since he won't take the insult lying down. Despite his desire to succeed, he is frustrated by Debika's actions and is unsure of how to get her to see how they are impacting their case. Daniel presents strong justifications for Debika, but ultimately their case is unsuccessful. Beginning of Debika's two-year separation from her son and daughter.  She also practices law, but since Norway does not recognize her degree, she owns a shop. She claimed that Velford is a very risky organization that conducts commerce under the guise of fostering children. Norway uses its wealth to entice immigrants from developing nations. Once these immigrant families arrive, they are immediately bombarded with additional laws and restrictions on top of those they already have to follow. They give their children up for adoption and place them in foster care when they don't cooperate. The welfare center, as well as the attorneys who represent and oppose them, benefit financially from this process. When Debika Chatterjee tries to warn her husband about Velford's immoral behavior, he doesn't trust her and tells her to stop following rumors. She abducts her own kids from foster care and intended to flee to Sweden in an effort to permanently reunite with her children forever but unfortunately she was caught at the airport. When her lawyer with her husband got to the airport, the officer gave the lawyer two options is either she is deported back to India or sent to jail. Debika's vision is blurry and she isn't interested in seeing anything besides the children she is holding in her arms and in front of her. Anirudh longs to leave the commotion of his native West Bengal and live as an NRI in the stunning nation of Norway. Anirudh used to be a perfect person who desired happiness for both himself and his wife. In order for them to live a wonderful life, he took her abroad. When they had their second kid, he became increasingly busy and was unable to do a single household task while she cleaned, cooked and looked after their two young children. Even though none of this is really out of the ordinary, Anirudh has a horrible habit of never owning up to his own mistakes and instead blaming the entire world for his difficulties. Debika is to blame for the kids being taken away. Due to Debika's friends' complaints of domestic violence, the child services team showed up. In addition to physically abusing his wife, Anirudh also verbally abuses her. He claims she deserves to be confined to a room in front of her parents. He silences her every time she attempts to express even a single word about wanting her children back. Returning to the courtroom, Daniel finds himself negotiating convoluted legal proceedings and questioning the status quo. Despite the language barrier and their various cultural backgrounds, Barrett Hanson, who comes from a different background than Debika, chooses to support Debika because of how far she is prepared to go to get her children back. Debika knows that she would never do anything to hurt her children. There was a video broadcast showing Mrs. Chatterjee assaulting a police officer. The judge dismisses Mrs. Chatterjee's petition after concluding that she is mentally ill and the children will remain state wards until they turn 18 years old. Debika receives frequent prodding from Anirudh's parents who should be assisting her. Debika leaves the house dressed up and pretending to go to the temple to pray for her children which her mother-in-law doesn't refrain from remarking on. However, Debika actually goes to speak to the visiting politician because she is wise enough to take advantage of the situation to save her children. After a successful attempt to win over the authorities, she returns and prepares the rice, milk, and banana meal that she gives her children before devouring it in front of her husband's entire family. As soon as the Indian Foreign Minister Vasuda Kamit learns about Debika's situation, he suspends plans for a telecom transaction that he was in Norway to complete. Because it's embarrassing for them, the Norwegian government is compelled to resolve the issue as soon as possible. An official from the government is given the case to investigate by Kamit. So that Debika can care for them after they return to India, Madhusudhan makes sure that Anirudh's brother is given custody of Debika's children. Kamit is nowhere to be found, and Madhusudhan consoles Debika after Anirudh and his family break their end of the bargain and refuse to let her see her kids. Due to the fact that Anirudh's brother is the foster father of Shubh and Shuchi, Anirudh's in-laws refuse to deliver the child to Debika despite accepting funding from the Norwegian government. Debika is coerced into divorcing Anirudh while he is in Norway. She is currently engaged in litigation with Anirudh's in-laws for the children's custody. Once more, Daniel enters the scene on behalf of the Norwegian government and makes the case that neither Anirudh's brother nor Debika are capable of caring for the kids and that they should be sent back to Norway, where they can receive the care, educational guidance, and employment opportunities that Debika and India cannot offer. Debika responds to the judge's inquiry regarding her opinions. I'm not sure if I'm a good or awful mother, but I do have children. For her children, a mother will do anything. She was raised by devoted parents in a small town in West Bengal. She chose to pursue a bachelor's in science without hesitation because she knew that her father thought she needed to go to school. She is generous and driven to provide happiness to everyone around her. Her mother then urged her to get married, which she did. Nobody ever asked Debika what she wanted, so she agreed to follow her husband's desires and relocate to Norway. She gave birth to two gorgeous children there and started to adjust to living away from home and building a life for herself in a foreign country speaking a foreign language. Her children quickly grew to be the center of her universe, but it was abruptly and unexpectedly torn from her in a matter of seconds. The sole competent attorney for Debika calls Daniel to the witness stand. She asks Daniel if adoptive parents may love their kids more, which is a highly personal question, and Daniel is positive it is possible because he was adopted. However, he is receptive to understanding Debika's love for her kids and decides to speak the truth on her behalf since he cannot bear to watch this woman be torn apart from her kids for any longer. Following three days of heated back and forth between the three parties, Pertop demonstrates that Debika is well capable of caring for Shubh and Shuchi and that she should be granted custody of them once more. This decision is supported by Daniel and unerude and his in-laws descend into personal misery. As soon as Debika is granted custody of her children, Daniel congratulates her right away. As the sun goes down, Mrs. Chatterjee's tale keeps inspiring countless people and sparked a worldwide movement to change child custody laws and defend the sanctity of families. Her name becomes a byword for valor, tenacity, and the relentless pursuit of justice. Never undervalue the strength of willpower or love. Together, we can overcome any difficulty. Thank you for watching.


In this video, I'd like to take a look at the critical framework of new historicism. New historicism provides us with a different kind of perspective on artifacts that tells us that things are sort of relative and things need to be considered in context, so to speak. So let's take a look at what we mean. First of all, new historicism examines artifacts using a framework that considers an artifact within the context of the time period, and therefore the cultural, political, and other influences of that time. So it's saying that an artifact cannot be completely removed from the time that it was created, and that that needs to be a consideration when you're examining an artifact, an item, whatever that piece is, that we need to consider what was going on at that time, how is this a reflection of that time period, and what cultural influences and constraints were, in effect, when this piece was created. So let's take a look at some of the major premises of new historicism. First of all, and this is a really critical one, it identifies and acknowledges that human history is a human construct, that people create history. Now there are, of course, events that happen, and things that happen, and those are facts, but then when we consider those things in hindsight, so to speak, almost immediately when things happen, science tells us that our memory starts to kind of shape that event in a different way, not in a completely different way necessarily, but we start to put our own little spin on it, we see it in our own perspective, and therefore when we retell that event, or when we remember that event, it may change over time to take on more of our perspective, we may kind of smooth out some of the rougher edges, or maybe highlight some of the pieces that we want to be highlighted in that memory, and also that history is, of course, written by the victors, as the old saying goes, history is written by the victorious. So we can take a look, for example, in terms of American history, you don't have a lot of perspective from Native Americans. You don't have a lot of perspective in our current telling of American history of Native Americans or African Americans or so forth, it's really told, history is really told from the perspective of Caucasian Americans, of European settling Americans really, because we were the quote unquote victors, so to speak, at the top of the power structure. So we were able to weeping white people Caucasians were able to kind of construct that narrative for history, and so history is a human construct, it does have some perspective. So for example, we think back again, at the beginnings of the American Revolution, talk about the founding fathers, and these people, these are people who have become sort of idolized in our history, we've come to see them as sort of, you know, all good people, right, and just did nothing but wonderful things, and they did a lot of amazing things to start this country, and there were a lot of important decisions that they made and so forth. But at the same time, three of the five people in this picture were slave owners. All five of them agreed to, you know, a constitution or a basic set of set of laws initially that excluded essentially excluded women, and really oppressed in a systematic way, people of color and people of different races and nationalities and so forth, and set into in place a power structure that was almost exclusive to wealthy, landowning white men. So, I mean, there's those pieces of history that we kind of gloss over a lot of times when we're talking about the American Revolution and how things unfolded at that time, and we know from their writings that there were several of these people, several people in this picture of Washington, John Adams, for example, had serious misgivings about the institution of slavery and the oppression of really women and people of color, and yet went along, kind of went along to get along because they felt like that's what they had to do in order to get the rest of these things rolling. They didn't feel like there would be any potential for a kind of cohesive United States in that sense if they didn't go along with those things, so they gave in. I mean, they were fallible people. These were not perfect people. They were not infallible. They did maybe the best they thought they could at that time, and now we know we're paying the consequences for those choices, though, and that those choices had serious consequences and have put into place systemic policies that have been difficult to make level playing ground for anybody, but again, white men, really. We're talking about women, people of color, people of different nationalities and so forth. Anyway, but we construct this kind of idealized rose-colored version of American history where everything unfolded perfectly, right? And we know it didn't. But that's because history is a human construct that we put together, and that's an important premise when we're thinking about new historicism. Another important premise is that an artifact cannot be removed from the socio-cultural context in which it was created. It's almost impossible for us to look at the original constitution without considering the context in which it was created. We have to consider what the political climate was, the cultural climate was, and so forth, and look at it in those ways instead of putting on those rose-colored glasses, right? In a similar way, we could talk about this in the context of the Bible. When we think about the Bible, the Bible was written over a period of a lot of years, right? The Old Testament, the New Testament, and so forth. But even if we just focus our discussion on the New Testament, we can look at that in terms of... And we can understand that there was written in a specific socio-cultural context, right? That these people were living in a particular time, and so they had particular cultures and traditions and ideas about the way the world worked that would have influenced the way that they wrote. Now, of course, as Christians, we believe that there are certain God-given pieces of wisdom and guidance and direction and things like that that really shine through that and transcend that type of thing. But if we look at it in a larger context, we look at the narrative surrounding the Bible and things that we can really understand in the context, and we have to place that in context then, which helps explain why women don't play a prevalent part of the Bible because they weren't in a power position during the context of the writing of the Bible during that culture. In that culture, they were not in a real power position. They were subordinate to men. And so that's one aspect of the Bible we can look at. And we need to understand that going into it, that what was true about the views of women in biblical times may not be the case today. So there are specific things in the narratives surrounding all these other pieces that can be important to separate from the other pieces. Another thing that we can look at here kind of conversely, excuse me, and say that artifacts can be valuable resources in understanding the sociocultural context of the period. So in this sense, we can look at the Bible and say it almost serves as a sort of history book, right? We can look at this and have a better understanding of what it was like to live during those times, to be somebody who lives in those times, because we can get an idea, we get that we can see that narrative, and we can understand what their thoughts were and what their beliefs were at that time and how their culture kind of acted, how people acted in that culture, how people behaved in that culture, what the rules were and so forth. So we can gain some understanding of that period by reading these artifacts, by reading the Bible. Initially, in New Historicism, this is one of the things they learned by looking a lot at the pieces of Shakespeare, at the work of William Shakespeare. Not only did they understand that, okay, we have to look at this, at what's happening in these plays in the context of what that culture was like at that time, but then they also thought, well, we can also learn a lot about what culture was like at that time by reading these plays, by understanding that the author of these plays, so Shakespeare in this instance, is writing about what he knows and what that culture is, and so we can learn about what the culture was like during Shakespeare's time by reading his work. So it kind of goes both ways. We need to understand and place these artifacts in context of that time and that sociocultural period, but we can also look at it as a way to learn about that sociocultural period and context by reading these works or by looking at these artifacts. Interesting. So everything is relative, really, is what what New Historicism would say. Everything is relative. They're the old saying that there are three sides to every story, right? Your side, my side and the truth. Somewhere in the middle there lies the truth because everybody kind of puts their own perspective on things and sees it in their own view. And it's not that it's not true. It's just that they're different, right? Then maybe what actually happened? So everything is relative and New Historicism would have us look at artifacts in that light. So some common questions you come across in New Historicism. First of all, what language, characters, or events present in the work reflect the current events of the author's day. So trying to understand what are the context, what's the context of this in which this artifact was created and how is that present in the work here? Are there words or imagery in the artifact that have changed their meaning from the time of the writing or creation of this? So what is there that's now different? So, for example, again, in the context of the Bible, the largely large absence of women for the most part in the Bible and at least in central roles by and large in the Bible is a product of that time. And so the artifact will be influenced then by that. However, such events interpreted and presented, again, placing these in context. How are these things placed in those times based on significant events? How are these events interpreted and presented then within that context? How are the interpretation and presentation of these events a product of the culture of the author? Again, so bringing things back to the perspective of the author or the creator of this piece, how would their view of whatever event they're representing here or presenting be present there? And how would that be influenced by the culture that they were in? Does the works presentation support or condemn the event? So did they take a side on whatever had happened? And if so, what and how did that impact their work? Can it be seen to do both? You know, pretty sure. What were they on? Did it support or condemn the event? Or did the author, the creator of this artifact seem to do both both support and or condemn the event? How does this portrayal criticize the leading political figures or movements of the day? So again, how much did this piece or this author, this creator get into what was happening and did they use that as an opportunity to kind of critique or criticize the major figures or movements at that time? And how does the artifact function as part of a continuum with other historical cultural texts or artifacts of the same period? So where does this fit in with everything else? We know about that period. Where does this fit in with all the other items that come from that period? And and and how is this is? How is this a piece of a larger puzzle, in other words? So I want to give you this kind of a specific or a little more specific example of how we identify these questions, how we look at these questions. So I chose actually from something from the Bible, which we've been talking about, but I want to be more specific than that. I want to take a look. I've been personally studying the book of Romans lately. So I just I found that an interesting connection here. When I think about Romans, which of course is a letter from the Apostle Paul, right? So we know that this is a letter from Paul written to new Christians in in Rome, who were living in Rome. So writing to Christians in Rome. So that's the specific context here. So what are some things we need to consider? What language characters or events present in the work reflect the current events of the author's day? So obviously, Paul is primarily talking about the the the the fact that Christ came to earth at the Son of God and was then killed and resurrected. And, you know, but was the Messiah prophesied in Jewish history?  That's the event that he's focusing on, which of course was a major event in that time period. So so that was the the primary situation there. It was a cause of great upheaval, political and social upheaval at that time, too. There was a lot of oppression of Christians and and and so a lot of, you know, negativity toward Christians. So I was not necessarily a popular event in some ways. And so and especially converting from Judaism to Christianity in recognition of the fact that Jesus was the Messiah was prophesied was was pretty kind of controversial. It was kind of a big step for people. So so that was the big event. So I think that Paul was referring to, obviously, and writing about in the book of Romans was the coming of the Messiah. What did that mean? How is it proved? And how did that affect people who were choosing to follow Christ? Are there words and imagery in the artifact that have changed their meaning from the time of their writing? Certainly. I mean, we have in a literal sense, we have the direct translation from the original language of that Paul wrote in into English. So there are obviously some there are always some changes there that come with that some changes in the language and things that come with that. But I also think just in terms of the context, it's important to remember that that Paul was writing largely to to essentially Messianic Jews, right? To people who had been Jewish and raised in the Jewish faith and all of that and had really either had or were on the fence about either had committed to Christ and recognizing him as the Messiah or very close to that. But we're still struggling a little bit, maybe with the idea of how does this how does this jive with everything that we know to be true from our Jewish faith and how.  And so Paul knew how to speak their language, so to speak. So but and so he was doing so in Romans struck by as I'm reading this, I'm struck by how powerful persuader Paul is and how much he's able to connect really with these people, understand the need to connect with these people and their underlying faith and the underlying Jewish faith and how that then does not contradict the coming of Christ, but in fact supports the coming of Christ and writing about that. And and obviously this this train sense, you know, for those of us in current days who who didn't start in the Jewish faith, even who, you know, but but Romans is a critical book for for us as new Christians and even as even as major Christians in understanding, you know, kind of God's will and the process of what it means to come to faith through Christ. And so anyway, but the imagery there and the language that he's using to kind of convert or or reassure Jews is a Jew, Missianic Jews in Rome at that time is still applicable here, but does change a little bit as we move into English and and have a broader understanding for ourselves. How are such events interpreted and presented? Well, he goes very, very specifically into detail about, you know, what it means and how this is connected to Jewish traditions and Jewish faith and how those translate into Christianity and so forth. And so he really does touch specifically on a lot of those events throughout the book of Romans, the letter to the Romans. And however, the interpretation and presentation of these events, a product of the culture of that author. Well, I mean, being Jewish was Paul's predominant culture for most most of his life up to his conversion. Obviously, I mean, he was a very, very committed Jew had gone to to all the best schools and done all the studying and things was actually persecuting Christians as a Jew, persecuting Christians to fight against this sort of tide of Christianity up to his conversion, of course. So that was a very, very big part of his culture and the culture of the people that he was writing to, though, right? So interpreting those through and viewing this book sort of through the eyes of somebody who is speaking to people of the Jewish heritage and Jewish culture is, I think, an important part of understanding the, you know, in context what this book says. And then there are obviously lots of things that apply to us. And as we seek to understand what it means to be committed to Christ and to make that commitment and what that process looks like and what it means for us and all that. But but in the most specific interpretation, this is really about convincing or converting people of Jewish faith at that time to to come to an understanding of and belief in Christ. Does the work presentation support or condemn the event? Obviously, he supports the event pretty, pretty strongly. And so how much question there that Paul is in support of the event of supporting the case for Christ as the Messiah can it be seen to do both not in this instance? I don't think he doesn't really condemn that event. Obviously, supporting it pretty firmly. How does this portrayal criticize the leading political figures or movements of the day? In some ways, it does. It is a direct contradiction to Jewish heritage and history and not history, but the Jewish faith not extending to seeing Christ as the Messiah. So it was it was contradicting that in a very specific way. And how does this artifact function as a part of the continuum of other with other historical cultural texts from the same period? Obviously, this one is a very clear part of a larger collection of letters and books and things like that that we that we know is the Bible. We can also view it in the context of other historical texts and and understanding of history at that time that can provide some context and background of these things. But so I think, yeah, obviously, does function as a part of a of a continuum there. So. So I think new historicism is one of the neatest critical frameworks that we have. I think understanding things in context is so important and understanding the fuller context of when these things happen and what the impact was at that time and how we view things differently. And, you know, I think now, especially today, we have a much for an understanding, for example, of of American history and the complicated aspects of American history. And and, for example, our our racial history and our history history with with women and other minorities and things that provide a great deal of context and a fuller context than that of what we may have been taught over the years. And new historicism would say that's a good thing. That's what we should be doing. We should be working and seeking to understand these things in context. If you have any questions about new historicism or any other critical frameworks, please feel free to email me and be happy to chat with you through that. But in the meantime, really, just do your best to understand that things happen in context. Things are relative and we have a lot to learn from them and a lot to learn about that culture from those things. But we need to view things in perspective. And that really is the message of new historicism.


How's it going everybody, Dato Doi here, and before the video starts I just really wanted to show off some cooler stuff, now I'm pretty sure this is old news to a lot of you, but for those of you who don't know, that cooler can get some crazy stuff in the corner off of his down heavy, cause once it hits the wall you can see the opponent falls down, and you can continue it into a 2M, into a 3H which is a unique normal for cooler, and then of course go into 5H, and this is just one combo, but there are tons out there, I recommend looking at cooler combo videos for more ways on how cooler can exploit this, or just getting into training mode and abusing it yourself. Alright, that's all from me, jumping into the ranked match now. How's it going everybody, Dato Doi here with some more ranked session vaches with Android 17 and cooler, and looks like we don't get the opportunity to go up against another orange square, but it is another Super Saiyan 3 which means there are points on the table for us to take, as well as potentially lose 4,000 a piece. Let's just hope it doesn't come to that, we got Vegeta in the back so you already know it ain't coming to it. Let the blocking begin. Alright we got him in the, whoa, I was gonna say we got him in the corner and then I looked back and it, damn what I saw disappointed me, it was me. Oh nice, I didn't get to click a button there, at least not fast enough to keep him in. Alright so Android 17 gonna take a bit of a beating here, back dash though. Oh don't even, this early in the set bro? Why did you not attack there 17? Oh here we go. Alright we're doing the bootleg version. Can't hold this against me, yeah. Now it's just a simple read. Mmm he didn't switch up. There you go. Oh very nice down medium, that was pretty gutsy.  Alright we're gonna go ahead and, we're not dying here. Oh that was, we both knew, we both knew it was Vegeta players that had to come to that. Mmm okay I like what I'm seeing here Vegeta. We're probably killing here too. Cooler, grab this man. Oh I should have went with 17, doesn't matter, doesn't matter. Who needs 17? I showed, I showed off the cooler combo at the beginning of the video by the way, so you already know what we're trying to do, let's get him to the corner. This trick is, he's gonna take us to the corner, then I'll flip the scripts on him with a little bit of this. Okay, uh uppercut, alright now he's in the corner it's just a simple mix up, alright uppercut knee, that's fine we'll block next time he has Vegeta on offense. Okay get off me, deflect that, that's pretty simple stuff, okay. It looks like rush down game is more effective, oh okay I don't think you meant to do that but we'll take it, and we're going down. Oh no, okay he didn't try to switch us out there, behind the back. I could have extended that a little more but I unfortunately messed that up. I could have extended that with Vegeta, so easily command grab, nobody ever uses that move, can you blame me? There are some moves you just get hit by because you don't see them. Like that and Goku Black, Zamasu, you see I got hit by that because I tried to quick tag Cooler in, that was a bad choice by me but that's fine, but she just couldn't come in here and clean it up. Ah you see I thought that change was coming earlier, alright let's get back on our rush down game. That ain't the rush down game I was looking for at all. Okay, oh that couldn't have lagged at a worse time.  No I mistimed it, mistimed, it wouldn't have killed anyway, nah it wouldn't have killed anyway. We're going to kill it the same way, watch this. Uh oh no he didn't touch the craft. Switches out he doesn't want to waste sparking for some reason, that's fine. Didn't know what to go with there. Drag him to the corner, this is looking like a dead Goku, yep. Now sparking blast isn't going to be too effective here because he is running low on health to even recover, so we'll see when he opts to go with that there here, alright so right there it's his option, oh I couldn't block it, alright we're free. Now it's all about guessing, well not guessing but, ah that was supposed to be more Hadukens but it lagged, there we go it's all over, haha it was supposed to be more, well key blast and then it lagged but, alright I said Hadukens, sorry bad fighting game trait, alright 4000 points in the bank, this could be a rank up if we play our cards right 3 and out, alright but we played pretty terribly last match, so let's go ahead and get a little more aggressive, oh Goku Black got the best of us there and I tried super dashing to get out of that, should have just held at that time, you know ever since they nerfed Vegeta I've just been clamoring to get out of it, ah yeah that was a good super dash option, probably shouldn't have unplanted my feet from the ground that would have made that a lot scary to go for, this doesn't kill no way, oh bad timing, alright we're free but that's that's gonna be a long cooldown, alright we DP our way out of there, oh I could have gotten so much more out of that and now we're in the corner, yikes yikes yikes yikes, okay he's still in the corner, nice okay we're not gonna get anything too special out of this, we do get a little extension and then we can just, how am I messing up that badly dude, I'm messing that up so badly, okay we can't get anything too crazy off there, nice simple simple stuff, we don't want to lose the corner for a little Goku Black damage I don't think, let's not even bother with it, oh mistimed the down heavy it was so easy it was right there for me, okay now Goku on the other hand that's a lot of blue health you know that's gonna be worth it and but why you dare challenge me, 17 if you could just go ahead and turn around for me there buddy, step on them toes 17, ooh that would have been bad too because I definitely clicked heavy there, wait for it see if we can't get a, oh he's not teching, all right this is, this is a kill, not a kill, yes invincible DP that was sick I crossed them, oh yeah that was nice I like what I'm seeing there without a bar to speak of though it's gonna be kind of hard, okay we just got to keep him guessing, a little bit of defense we'll get us out of here no problemo, looking for a dragon rush here that's honestly what's on my mind yep yep yep yep, invincible DP to take a little bit of the pressure off and bada bing, bada boom we are out of there, oh can you tell I've been working on my defense and not my offense, ah can you tell can you tell I'm still trash at defense, well that's a rip, okay, oh he misses the timing on that, unfortunate for this guy but very fortunate for me, oh it jumped to nine frames I know I'm asking you guys to believe a lot but please believe me there, ah I had a cheesy plan there, okay, we could probably cheese it out with Cooler if I can get him out, I don't see why we wouldn't be, I see why wouldn't, I see it now but you know we're not all psychic though, oh don't give me a window, how many times oh that was vicious, Cooler, that was just plain wrong dude, okay can we, ah we got it boys, no no no come on, ah you're gonna make me do enough, you're gonna make me find somebody else dude, alright we'll be heading into the next one, alright hop into the second game here with something a little more you know we can be found in another mage and so I guess that's good if we want to, it will be a first if we rank up and rank down in the same episode, but hey we might end up gaining some points, oh and listen to this esports music baby, you can just tell the esports budget was here, oh that was that was nice continuation okay we're just uh, try jumping there to get out of pressure but big mistake for me probably should have just continued to reflect, we're going straight back into the corner you've seen it all before with Cell, ooh TN assist to continue at big damage here goes into a level one we're gonna tech down, oh and it catches it with the craw, ah that was beautiful this is one of those games where you wish you had your your main team because you know it's just gonna be a fun one, alright miss times it with the block stun and we are able to go ahead and get out of there, oh still catches it with that that's fine, beautiful drag super dash from my opponent we don't need that corner we did need that corner, try to wall bounce didn't didn't really go too well for me, oh catches me at the very edge ah nice okay so that's not too bad we still got Vegeta and Cooler obviously we haven't put too much of the squeeze on him here ourselves, ah rolling crush continuation and it catches me oh I'm just hitting buttons where I probably shouldn't be back to the corner the scaling's pretty big on this combo that's why it's not decimating me, but right now we are gonna spark up, ah that didn't work okay mmm big deeps here big deeps that's what you want to get really, alright main goal of this combo is to just build up that bar bring Cell right back in oh he has the presence of mind to push buttons there and stop my dragon rush he's definitely seen that one before, alright good good stuff, alright nice that's a dead Vegeta all we have left is Cooler we did practice those corner combos so hey you never know I would agree Cooler this does feel like a worthy challenge oh he blocks it straight to the corner we are gonna go ahead and we're gonna go ahead and get Cell back in here he's so low that we really and since we know he likes to press buttons there we go Cell's down that was good good neutral from us we pretty much knew what our opponent was gonna do let's see if we can you know get that right with Vegeta again no knee we're gonna use our meter here defensively I wish I didn't do that but it'll give us better oaky for sure there we go that might be a kill I'm not too nice it's not especially with this leg why there we go we'll just keep spamming the knee if it works it works EX knee it's a game of knees deep spam in it TN and sparking is something to be feared by the way try to jump cuz I expected a grab to come out maybe a micro dash command grab I didn't know to be completely on oh he drops it and I I'd panic vanish into the dragon the what you would call it but that's not important right now cuz right now we're getting toasted alive that's death is that death unfortunate death chow tzu super really does not give a really does not care about scaling alright but I feel like you know that was a first round blues for me definitely you can definitely tell that I was oh we're going first to three with this guy too oh does he know wait a minute I don't know that evo'd always to be like usually people recognize the channel so maybe this dude knows me maybe that's why he knew the dragon rush was coming he's watched so many what if he knows more about me than I know about me what if he knows more about me missing combos than me okay now it's time to focus see look at the number of matches on this guy oh dragon rush nice extension no bar so he's not gonna get too much out of this fortunately he's not gonna get it be alright that's gonna oh the dragon rush I gotta keep my feet firmly on the ground here there we go you gotta be kitty what what's going on wait hold on what happened there I'm not let's keep those feet firmly planted yeah keep them firmly planted I'm giving up too much that's our turn try to click a key blast there thought I'd have enough time before the dash and I was wrong firmly planted finally I'm starting to catch it on let's see if we can't get 17 in no 17 but well we did get I don't know if that was lag or what it took a while nice nice even firmly planted he likes the Super Dash at that range I am so bad at timing that alright me oh no oh wow we hit he didn't block why didn't he block oh okay okay I was testing that out I was like can you connect level one from there you can't but hey that's just a classic Dato do your reset baby miss time the cooler says I gotta keep those feet planted even landed situations like this he loves the Super Dash ah okay let's get rid of the Vegeta assist by bringing Vegeta in oh the knee beautiful choice halfway up I expected the final flash to be completely honest final flash no down heavy ah knee I tried a backspin into EX shield okay glad that worked out for me situations like these watch for the Super Dash yep I'm not react I'm not punishing them yet because I'm not fully comfortable but give me like another round or two okay whoo it's definitely a good game I may be being too passive but judging by the health it does look like I'm bleeding him out short slowly tried to EX knee my way out of trouble eating big damage punish here chow to that's not that though what you see I made the mistake of underestimating chow to level three feet planted how many times am I gonna have to say that's myself oh no okay that I didn't expect okay that's good very good nice okay now we're in there who eight frames where did 11 for 13 for 14 frames 15 frames where's it coming from oh no random level three that's the 10 frame metagame that was so cheesy but I was afraid he hit me with one so I had to throw it out I would not okay I wouldn't agree how to be like a dude be planted ah he got the first hit and when cell gets the first hit with the G to assist up here you're just going to the corner bro hmm nice that rolling crush is so good in that situation at least against me okay switching me out again there we go okay let's try to fake this okay he didn't want he had no intention of being faked out oh okay that worked out okay he's not super dashing there missed it there we go keep those feet planted mmm there we go delay the offense and just get back in TN now that might seem like a weird idea oh wow I can't believe he was able to pick up a hit after that that was good stuff but my opponent there backdash oh no I didn't even think that hit me okay sorry had a had a little call there oh no I'm frazzled dude I'm frazzled frazzled to be sure I couldn't do anything out of it quick enough extension death no death no way that hit me oh no I tried vanishing he's gonna get Vegeta back in for sure I would I would strongly disagree with anything else and I tried to click a button cuz he missed but not enough time all right 17 and cooler definitely not 17s best uh well you know it can be all right in some situations I guess seven Vegeta sister stumps me huh we're gonna have to spark here real soon I think you knew what I was going for there no way the auto combo reaches for it okay is that gonna kill it doesn't nice ex crossover in the clutch okay we're gonna have to work super hard to get this though like it's not even looking in the realm of possibility right now and cooler just messes that up completely sick can't believe I blocked that pretty sure that was cross-up assist mashing that out and I tried down heavying but it either didn't come out or he just landed on the ground before it came out oh we're dead okay the last time we had just cooler we did all right so wow this has been intense nice come on cooler come on cooler no cooler I thought that I thought that gave me an air state or something that was an overhead and we're gonna lose the second game here or third game technically but two one oh whoa ah blew it blew it bad all right all right so we're heading to the next one third game third game jitters let's try keep us try to apply everything we've learned keep them feet planted he's definitely not super dashing as much you know which is good we don't want to be nice all right let's try to get him in that corner there we go nice I just got a block after that I just have to hold it as much as I want to apply that offensive pressure with 17 no that was supposed to be me ah that was a wall jump a very stupid one okay okay oh that's supposed to be ex me that's fine we're defending against cell now so excuse me if I go a little quiet take it nice and unfortunately the dash and jab is just catching me cooler come on baby you got to get there you got to get there in time cooler alright just hurting Vegeta we might spark just for momentum sake because I can feel me losing it haha oh that's fine there we go mm-hmm not done okay we didn't do the optimized stuff but nice good teamwork it sell out of there for the for the big lead honestly and we still have sparking no big body okay mmm I don't think so and then we're gonna do this just to get 17 in how nice to fly nice to fly sorry if this got really serious once we got into this game oh why did I stop guarding low a beautiful dragon rush to that time I was just so worried about getting caught by that overhead that I missed last time level three it won't kill it won't kill and I may choose the spark on 17th Shad there is really bad wow he goes into the legs not sure what he wanted there but it worked maybe he wanted the legs alright alright oh man this is getting dead there we go that's what we've been waiting for now we're going for the hard knock down here questionable choice for sure but we'll see what we get here oh no no no no the cool down cool down what's he doing here just for the sliding level one doesn't even get it nice perfectly spaced what am I doing that was supposed to be a quick tag oh I hate that I hate me going for quick tags and situations like that cuz it's giving up me blocking I should just hold the button yeah that was super up that one was really obvious level three yep why do you go for the cheesy stuff um there's a possibility I live hmm okay definitely not what I was hoping to see for sure oh damn it I clicked lights okay well that's gonna do it wow I've been recording for so long and I'm not even sure if I talked at all so sorry if you guys hated this last one but man I wish I had my team but we'll get there soon enough who all right well we ranked up we ranked up you gotta take it you gotta take the wins you can get you know how do I throw a stamp I still don't know how to do that on my pad which is a skill I really need to say goodbye but hopefully you guys enjoyed this if you did let me know your favorite moment from down below this is mine love the network error as always thank you so much for watching I'll be down in the comments as always and hey maybe if you're new to the channel check on some of these other video wow check out some of these other videos that should be on your screen right now again thanks so much for watching I'm Dr. Doya sorry for the poor outro and I'll see you in the next video


Okay, welcome back to Think Tech, I'm Jay Fidel. This is America, Energy in America, and we have Jeff Kissel on Skype on the line, from where are you, Jeff, anyway? I'm actually in Southern California, you know, the second, California produces the second largest amount of energy of any state in the Union. Yes, it's a huge state and a huge energy project all over California. So, Jeff is with EPRINC, that's the Energy Policy, what is it, give me the extension of that acronym? Energy Policy Research Foundation, out of Washington, D.C., with Lou Pooley-Racy as president. And Jeff joins us to talk about a very interesting topic, and then this is the implications of the energy implications of the contention with North Korea. Welcome, welcome back to the show, Jeff, we love having you and talking to you about these things. Well, thank you and aloha, Jay, it's nice to at least be connected by Skype, even though I can't be there in person. Well, tell me what, you know, we know that there are many implications of the North Korean contention, and some of them are scary, I would say, scary to Hawaii. But what about the energy implications? You've been researching that because you research a lot in energy, and you stay informed on global issues around energy. So what have you found about the implications of North Korea? Well, we're looking more at the specific implications to Hawaii and the Pacific region that are not political, they're resource related, they're factual. Hawaii has undergone a sea change since it became an economy that is fundamentally dependent upon tourism. It lost a lot of its sustainable infrastructure when agriculture went away. So it's got to consider what it's going to do in the event of conflict, a serious conflict breaks out in the Korean peninsula. It's a lot different from what has gone on in Vietnam and other areas in the Asia-Pacific region, because the Korean conflict, if it occurs, has the potential to interrupt vital supplies for Hawaii that are not easily replaced. Now, I brought a little slide pack to help me talk through some of these issues and show your viewers what we mean physically by what could happen if a conflict broke out. So if you look at my slides, we talk about the need for a contingency plan in Hawaii. Now, we know that Hawaii has laid elaborate civil defense plans and they're excellent plans. It's got a very caring government and they're very concerned about what happens if there's a hurricane or some other natural disaster. It also has laid contingency plans if there are other kinds of events that occur. But nobody, unfortunately, today can predict what will happen if there's a conflict in the Korean peninsula. We have a slide on the screen, or we had it a moment ago, called Asia-Pacific Energy Distribution. Is that risk? Can I connect that up for us? That's correct because Korea has the ability, if necessary, to interrupt the whole Asia-Pacific Energy Distribution complex. If you look at that complex, it is served not by Indonesia any longer because Indonesia is no longer an OPEC exporter. They simply produce enough energy to meet their own needs. Asia is not served any longer by Vietnam or China. They consume what they produce. Asia is served by the Persian Gulf and the Asian energy complex, including Hawaii, is served through the South China Sea and through the Sea of Japan and out into the Pacific and North. It's really important to understand that that is a choke point. It's a vital supply line. If you go to slide three, I talk about what we've got in Hawaii now that we no longer are producing very much of our own resources. That's great. That's slide three then? Slide three, Hawaii energy and food supplies are very limited, although its population and tourist population is at a record high. We have less than 60 days worth of food. We have 35 days at best worth of fuel. Our neighbor islands are particularly vulnerable because with the demise of sugar and pineapple, they have even fewer days supply of those critical materials. We haven't even discussed medical supplies and the like. Typically, what people do when there's a hurricane coming is they fill up their gas tanks and buy toilet paper. This is a hurricane potential on steroids. We will have limited access to Honolulu Airport because it'll be used for military purposes. We share that with Joint Base Hickam. Our commercial airlines will not be allocated fuel to fly to and from Hawaii if the fuel supplies in the Asia-Pacific region are interrupted. So we'll have difficulty evacuating our population. If you go to slide four, take a look at what the Department of Defense is saying is the potential area that a disenchanted or aggressive South Korea could impact with its weapons of war. You can see if you compare slide four to my original slide two, that they can interrupt those vital supplies of energy flowing into the Pacific. Of course, the resources would be constrained from the continental U.S. because they're necessary to deal with a potential conflict in Korea. If you just for a moment so that we can have a basis to have a little conversation, look at my slide five, you can see the trade routes in the South China Sea that would be disrupted by a Korea that chooses to influence and extend its force range, project its force sorry, by that amount. So with that, what I wanted to do is set the stage and talk about the need for a Korea facing contingency plan that would supplement what is going on in Hawaii for our natural disaster planning and other contingency plan. Yeah, that's great. That's very important. We should be thinking about that now. We can't isolate ourselves from these events around the Pacific. No, we can't. And the events around the Pacific, we can recall what happened when 9-11 occurred and air transportation went down for a number of days. We can recall what happened when the Great Recession occurred and fuel prices went up and the planes flew empty. Our supply chain was interrupted. And unfortunately, now that the shipping, the surface transportation from the continental US is limited because we've lost a couple of carriers over the last year because again there's no agriculture to be hauled back from Hawaii. And if Korea were successful in interrupting the supply lanes so that we couldn't bring in supplies from Asia and Australia, we would have a very serious problem feeding our people and remember tourists are hungry. They're actually hungrier than our resident population. Isn't that true? It's not that they want fancier meals. They don't have refrigerators and freezers in their homes. And of course, if we had to curtail power, we would lose the ability to provide the kind of refrigeration and freezing capability that would take our food supplies and stretch them beyond the 30 to 60 days that we know we've got in store. Just moving water requires energy. Again, if energy is curtailed, moving physically, moving fresh water through the pipe systems to our homes is going to be a major problem. If you look at what happened when we had the Asia-Pacific Conference, they had container loads of water stored in our parks so that they could be mobilized if there was a disaster to keep the participants in the Asia-Pacific Conference going until they could be safely evacuated. So it's a matter of planning, it's a matter of being realistic, and it's a matter of doing the math to calculate how we could stretch our energy supplies in the event of that conflict. One comparison I wonder if you could make is the comparison between how the tourists would be affected and how the population in general would be affected because there would be shortages, obviously, as you described, but there would be priorities too. And one thing and another, the people who run this island, you know, have the power to manage energy and other resources would probably be making decisions as to who gets it first and who gets it second. So can you compare for me how you think this would impact the tourists who are here and the tourist industry that is in Waikiki and other hotels around and the population in general? Years ago I served on a civil defense committee that was charged with developing allocation plans in the event those things were to occur. We actually had plans, at the time we had a plantation industry, ag industry. We actually had plans to move the tourists out of the hotels and into plantation housing because we could make water and food stretch further because the plantations were used to feeding and caring for their people, but they used fewer resources to do it than the big hotels did. Those decisions, I'm sure, being considered, I don't know how they're being considered in light of the developments on the Korean Peninsula. You might want to invite some of the civil defense planners to talk about that with you. That's a great idea. That's Jeff Kissel. He's with Ebrink, which is an energy think tank in Washington, D.C., but he joins us by Skype from the West Coast here on Energy in America every other Wednesday afternoon at 4 p.m. And today we're doing Thursday. We'll take this short break, we'll be right back and continue the development of this contingency plan that Jeff is talking about right after this break. Aloha, my name is Justine Espiritu. This is my co-host Matthew Johnson. Every Thursday at 4 p.m. on Seantech we host the Hawaii Food and Farmers series. We like to bring in folks from the whole realm of the local food supply and agriculture, anyone working on these issues, any organization or individual that has plans or projects. What kind of people have we had on? We've had farmers, we've had chefs, we've had people from government, larger institutions. Everyone who's working to help make Hawaii's local food system that much better. So you can see us every Thursday and join the conversation on Twitter and we hope to see you there. We're back here on Energy in America with Jeff Kissell, who is with E-Pring, the energy policy research organization, think tank in Washington, D.C., and he joins us by Skype from Southern California where I guess he's on travel or on business. And we're talking about today the energy implications of the contention with North Korea which could disrupt all kinds of trade and commerce and transportation in the Asia-Pacific region. So Jeff, you were talking about developing a plan to deal with this contention and the implications of it. Can you shape that plan for us, tell us what it has to consider, and what choices could and should be made to develop the plan? Yes, the issue is one of timing. We may not have time to go into a robust planning process where we get input from all of the areas of the community. I'm watching the activities in the current legislative session, things that are being considered, and some of them, of course, they're all important and I don't want to diminish the importance of them, but they are trivial in the face of a conflict in the Korean peninsula. And I think that our leaders would do well to accelerate the planning for the contingency that we have now. If you look at what has occurred, you see that the Trump administration, whether you like them or dislike them, has at least worked with the Chinese and determined, whether it's from the Chinese standpoint or not, that they have got a lot less influence on the activities of the North Korean government than we previously thought. That presents a problem that could get out of control very quickly. Now, again, civil defense planning is very advanced in Hawaii, and I don't want to for a moment suggest that the state of Hawaii is not thinking about it, that the federal government hasn't thought about it, but in terms of running out of the essential energy to operate the fuel pumps to pump the water, I think we need to have a fresh look at it, and I think the public needs to be informed about what they should do and how they should participate if in fact the crisis develops to the point where it is acute. Today the public is not educated.  It's not a question of reading the front of the phone book anymore, because for those few of us that have the phone book, it doesn't talk about anything like this. Timing is critical. The planning needs to be made and shared with the public on an urgent basis. People need to know what to do. It's not the kind of thing where you can duck and cover. It's the kind of thing where you actually have to change your daily lives to understand how to stretch the resources that we've got to last through a severe disruption. Do we take tourists into our homes? Do we bring our food and our other personal resources together at central points in some cases so that we can share them? What do we do about medical treatment? How do we triage the ongoing needs of the vacation for our population? Who gets it and how does it allocate? And again, energy is one of the three most important pillars of a plan. It's energy, food, and of course, infrastructure.  Number one is, you know, if we have a blinding nuclear flash coming from the western shores of Oahu, this may not be relevant because it'd be too late for most people in Oahu. On the other hand, that's not all that likely. What's more likely is some kind of violence war in the western part of the Pacific, which disrupts the South China Sea and otherwise disrupts transportation of fuel and other goods to and from Hawaii, and which shuts down our tourist industry almost immediately, as I think would be obvious. And so the question is, you know, with that disruption, how do we handle what's on the ground right here right now? Because that's the more likely scenario, and that's the scenario where we can actually have a plan that takes steps to avoid the effect of the disruption. Otherwise, there may be nothing we can do, but in that case, there is something we can do. The other thought I had, and I want to throw it at you, is that this is a plan that deals with the contention and possible war in Asia by virtue of all this contention with North Korea. But you know, the same kind of plan dealing with the same kind of disruption of energy and fuel and goods traveling through our shores, this kind of plan would apply to other disruptions as well. Let's take a short break. Oh, there you are. You're back. I don't know if you heard everything I said, but my second point, Jeff, was that this kind of plan would apply to things other than, in addition to disruption with North Korea. It might apply to any kind of disruption. What do you think? Let's go a little break. We'll come right back and deal with that question with Jeff Kissel of E-Princk in California. Aloha. You can join the Hawaii Farmer Series every Thursday from 4 to 5 on FeetTech. And I'm your co-host, Matthew Johnson, here with Justine Espirito. And we are so thankful to have this show to use as the forum to get to know all the movers and shakers in agriculture in Hawaii and hear kind of their background in history, as well as their perspective on what they're doing and also the future for agriculture in Hawaii. So join us every Thursday. You can tweet in your own comments and suggestions and be a part of the conversation at FeetTechHi. And we can... All right, that's Jeff Kissel. We're back online. I'm Jay Fidel. This is Energy in America. We're talking about the implications of the contention with North Korea. And one of the points that I made before we lost you, Jeff, is that this kind of plan you're talking about, the plan of dealing with corruption, dealing with disruption of food and fuel and other, you know, transportation to Hawaii and the loss of tourism and all that, it applies not only to contention with North Korea. It applies to anything that would disrupt these elements of our trade and our connection with the rest of the Pacific, right? We don't actually have to have a missile land in the South China Sea and explode. Anyone can threaten action, which might actually cause that disruption. Korea is the immediate threat, but anything could materialize a conflict among the nations that border that area. A revolution in, for an example, the Philippines, with someone getting a hold of significant weapons to block those ship lanes, any of that could occur. And Hawaii is one of the most vulnerable places in the whole region when it comes to that because it's so far from everywhere. And it takes so much effort to get resources in and people out. I think a lot of people in Hawaii assume that if this kind of disruption happens, whether by North Korea or otherwise, the American military station here, the joint base and elsewhere in Oahu, will save us. But that's not true, is it? They're not really prepared and organized and, you know, have the men and material and other resources to save us. We're going to have to save ourselves, don't you think? Well, we have to contribute to our own well-being because the joint base Hawaii and the other military bases and installations may be consumed by the need to defend this nation. You know, there are 300 million people that they are responsible for defending, unfortunately, not just the 1.3 million people that live in Hawaii. And they may have to take a lower priority to other events. And again, it's an issue of not starving but curtailing our resources, the use of our resources, so that we can weather the storm and recover. So from a political point of view, I mean, from a call at a governmental point of view, what foot do we put out first? I mean, it sounds like to me this is something that could come from the governor or it could come from the legislature or possibly an agency of the state to say, here's the problem and here's the potential solution. Now we need a legislative and funding steps necessary to make the solution available to us when we need it. At a level to do the planning, it needs leadership at the community and county level to implement the plans. So just as there are three pillars to the survivability of Hawaii, there are our three important steps, planning, educating and training, so that we actually know what to do and where to go when the event happens. And our population is already comfortable knowing that. The tourist industry knows that generally speaking, you will shelter in place in the event of a tsunami. You'll take the hotel guests above the ground level to a certain level of safety. The community knows what to do. Generally speaking, when an ambulance comes down the street with a siren, you pull over to the side, it is no different. This is the world we live in and it's a contingency plan that needs to be made, communicated and trained. Well, a couple of thoughts come out of that too. Right now, people are aware, by way of national news, not so much local, that we are having a serious contention. The country is having a serious contention, one thing and another, with North Korea. And North Korea is making a lot of threats on a daily basis about what they're going to do in sending missiles and blowing people up. In addition to the kinds of sub-silential things that they do on an ordinary basis, maybe hacking into bank accounts, which they do. They're a rogue nation. They do a lot of things that are not nearly as threatening as nuclear war. But I guess the question I put to you is, what role does the federal government play in making a plan like this? First of all, it seems to me that people in Hawaii are ready for a plan. They're ready to take action because they know the problem. I think they know the problem. But then who steps in and who does the education? Who marshals the assets? Well, civil defense has always been a state function in the United States, assisted by the federal government. And I'm sure that the federal government is currently working with state agencies across the country to plan for terrorist attacks and all the other eventualities. I don't want to imply for a moment that it isn't doing that. We, in Hawaii, because we are so dependent upon the energy flow through the South China Sea, need to be particularly aware that we need to provide input to the planners so that we can preserve and protect our scarce energy resources and scarce food resources. In the event the worst happens, because if something happens in the Korean Peninsula, then there are other adversaries that this country has that might use that opportunity to make more mischief for us. They might use it to create an act of terrorism somewhere else, which would divert even more resources away from Hawaii. So these are things that are important to consider. And of course, it takes a lot of effort and a lot of thought and input to do that. We may not have much time because the events are moving very, very quickly right now. Well, let's take a page out of Charles Dickens and the Christmas Carol. Let's talk about the ghost of Christmas future. Let's talk about the possibility that we do nothing. I'd like to get that clear on the record before we end the show, Jeff. Let's assume for a moment that people think that someone else will handle it. They don't want to be involved. The legislature be locked. The governor not going to do anything. Let's assume the worst case analysis. At the same time, we have this ongoing and increasing contention nationally with North Korea and through, you know, by virtue of that through Asia Pacific. And then the worst case happens. What is the worst case for Honolulu? Short, of course, of nuclear war. What is the worst case for this disruption? What happens to our lives? This is the 1907 incident. We did nothing. We stayed on oil. We then had another oil crisis in the 1980s, and we did very little. Finally, we had the oil crisis in the early 2000s, and we have finally moved off to a renewable energy platform. So we've had experience doing nothing. And I don't like it. We've had an economic disruption, but we didn't have our physical well-being at risk. Well, I'm afraid to say that if a prolonged conflict breaks out in South Asia and disrupts those supply lines, we will be physically hungry. We will be physically in need of medicine, and we will be physically in need of reducing the population in Hawaii so that the people who need it can actually service the industries and service the defense establishment so that we can survive. How serious are you? How serious should we be? How serious should our listeners take this whole cause for alarm? This is so severe. A successful parachutist has to make 1,000 out of 1,000 jumps. You cannot retire after 999 jumps if you fail on your last jump, and that's the consequence of failing here. Wow. That is memorable. Jeff Kissel on the apron, joining us by Skype from Southern California. His headquarters is Washington, DC. I hope he'll come out here next couple of weeks so we can see him and break bread with him and say hi. It's been a while. Thank you so much, Jeff. Really enjoy these discussions, and thank you for the analysis and the advice and the concern. Aloha.
