There's news inside it. I don't know if you've seen the news. It's very good. There's a nice trend to those news. Yes, I like it. I've just been trying to find a liver transplant. No, not at all. No, there's a new baby in my coat. Once again, let's get the photo on. I managed to get her plane to fly over to the hospital. No one has come up with her transplant, so maybe we can get her names on the paper again about it. Maybe I'll get the word out. That was on the hill. I'd like to see an offer. Not just a loan. All right. Mr. President, when you extend the commission on June 10th, when you should come together and give you any further ideas, it may have an implementation of their earlier recommendations. I believe we'll have a meeting today, Brandon. We'll have. Well, I want to thank you all for agreeing to do that. I know that you didn't know that you signed down for the war. Instead of just one battle, I am grateful for you and for that. I have issued some suggestions for guidance on the basis of that, the Department of Defense of the High Priority Command and Control and Communications for our strategic forces and continued modernization of the bomber force and the Triton 2D-5 missile and Triton submarine program to expand research and development in regard to defense against ballistic missiles and to deploy the 100 as everyone agreed and to immediately initiate the design of the idea for a small, single warhead ICBM and, of course, how we will deployment within the decade or the week of the next. And all the things that you recommended about the uncertainties about silo and the shelter hardness and the threat to silo and all that Captain Darker with me a bit on those points. And in letters and comments to Congress that every time I've had the chance, I've made the points about that we want to reduce the overall force levels and that modernization is essential if we're to do that and do it practically. And we've also talked to modifications of the start proposals that were suggested and I have notified General Ronny on the start talks there of new flexibility that he had. Now, we have abandoned, as a result, the 850 missile idea but we still believe and hold into a trying to a 5,000 warhead limit overall. And he had I don't feel it was necessary to personally instruct your staff. I'll take questions here and press up before I return. I'll be seeing you outside the door over there on my way to the helicopter in Camp David and I will stop. Hello there. It's good to see you. I'm very happy to be here. Yes, how are you? This is Mason. Hello there. Nice to meet you, James. James, hello. Oh, it's good to see you. How did 6,000 people last week? That was wonderful. It was glorious. It was magic. Now, where does this time, because I think that somebody did something with a print of an old picture of mine, is this that it's lost through these TV showings now? No, it wasn't that. It was really, well, it wasn't that. It was cut. In this case, there was a preview of one of those places. And it was about three and a half hours long, because at that time they thought, how do you want it? We remember when they had to get back to it. We just talked about that all the time, right? So after this, very successful, people came back. And then, surprise, surprise, it cut half an hour, at least half an hour. I think more than that. Never to be seen again. And then, worse than that, they boiled it down for the silver. At least, you know, that doesn't matter. They destroyed a lot of the negative. They destroyed the negative. But we had a hunch that if we could get into Warners Falls, I'm sure you'd like to get into Warners Falls, too. That we could find a lot of it. And we did. We found outtakes. And enough to put back a half hour on it. And it changes the film. It gives the film a real taste. Listen, I know. Why don't we do a shot here as a group, and then why don't we have a shot? Oh, good. Absolutely. Maybe move over a little bit, so no one behind the lamp there. Especially not that gentleman. Especially not really. Y'all that legit. All right. All right. You know, we're not supposed to look into the camera, except now we are. Thank you. Yes, no. Why don't you get in the middle? Oh, all right. Okay. But I took right in there. I'll tell you my story about this. We need one more individual. And they get one here. All right. Just with the first one. Oh, all right. I have to tell you what, Father Hespert from Notre Dame brought a print of the Rockman films. It's one of the only two left that have not lost so much through cutting them for commercials and doing the distribution. But they had two prints because of Notre Dame. They still run that film as an indoctrination for the incoming pressure. Oh, it's done. But they won and gave me a print of this film. We ran it here. But my favorite story has to do with that picture. There was a fella who had a small part in that picture. This happened in Hollywood. And he knew it was going to be run on television one night. And this was some years ago. And he knew the cutter at the TV studio. And I'd never known this, but right down to the goes on the air, the salesman was bringing in spot edits. No! So he said, oh boy, be sure to leave this little bit of mind in. Because he said, I've got a producer looking at it. It may mean a job for me. Well, it went out in the cutting. The next day he called the film editor and he said, you know, I asked you to and so forth and so on. And the film editor says, look, they were bringing in so many ads.  No!  Listen, we better ask Bob. It has to work. He may have some. I'm ready for coffee. I'm sorry, Bob! We really are. Out the Notre Dame one day. Well done. Now, is that going to be in general? No, we're not sure. Warners did it for us for the Academy, allowed us to go in and search for it for a year and do it as a gesture toward preservation of film. Which is this big launch we're all doing. And your director is very interested in the new head of lead. But I think now if they were and they were present last night at the reception of the audience, a standing elevation, everyone just I think people want to see the movies about people. It's about people. I think they will. We are bringing it to Washington tomorrow night at the Warner Theater. And it's elected the cities around the country. It's going, yes, to six cities. But we're working with Frank Hotsel and Fay and I on the whole preservation style. Absolutely. And you will love it. You will love it. Really. The first version that I have to tell you almost turned me around on a long drive I was a sports announcer in Iowa and the contract offer from Warner Brothers were pictures. Got in my car and started the long drive out to Hollywood from Des Moines, Iowa. When the first night out I stopped at my home and it was the first version of A Star is Born. There's a movie there. And I went to the movies and I came home back to the hotel I'm in and I said should I turn around? I wasn't I wasn't I wasn't sure I wanted to go the rest of the way. You really saw the distinction great. It was very good. I thought it was a better overall look at the story than I thought it was. It's a dramatic one. What's it? March. Oh, I think this is the great decision. I love this one. Oh, it's really good. This person I think to do us a long way. I wonder why. I wonder about the chef. Thank you. Thank you very much. Thank you very much. Good to see you. Thank you. We'll see that you all get these pictures. We appreciate that. Goodbye. Goodbye.


genocide in Gaza. South Africa's case provides the evidence for you.  You lied to your nation about the genocide in Gaza.  You're lying to the American people. You just regard a U.S. federal court. You say that genocide is good for American jobs.


Hey, we're back in the studio here at Davis Media Access for another episode of In the Studio. I'm your host, Autumn Laberino, and today I have with me some folks from the Friends of the Yolo County Archives. With me today are Anastasia Panigakos, who's the chair of the Friends, and Ryan Baum, who serves as secretary. And welcome to you both. Well, Autumn, thank you for having us, Ryan, for that pleasure. So I told you earlier, I asked a couple of folks, when you think of archives, what do you think of? That replies like dusty boxes, really old stuff. Okay, so I think there's this common perception about what archives are, and you're here to tell us really, you know, what they encompass. Ryan, you made a very interesting comment that Yolo County is one of the few counties to sponsor an archives. Can you say a bit more about that? Yes. Yolo County is one of the few California counties that actually has a county sponsored archives. Although it sits within the greater library system, it is independent and dedicated, and it's really our direct connection to our county history back to its founding in 1850. So in other areas, other counties, I imagine that it's largely a volunteer run project, if an archive exists at all. And then it's not so well integrated into the rest of the county government system. Yes, or it may just be a special collection in one of their libraries as opposed to a dedicated staff that's there as a resource to help researchers and maintain our history. Right. Well, let's talk about the archives for a second and the staff. I've met Heather Lankto, who's the, is Executive Director of her title? Her title is Archives and Records Center Coordinator. Okay, she's that, yes. And I'm not familiar with exactly how the archives is staffed. I understand the role of a friends of group to, you know, fundraise to boost awareness. So tell us a little bit about the staffing and then we'll move into what the friends do. Sure. So the archives itself is located up in Woodland on Buckeye Street, and it is pretty much the repository for all county historical documents and those kinds of things. And when it comes to staffing, Heather is sort of the main person who runs the archives. She has one other full-time staff person. And then she has probably anywhere between eight to 10 volunteers who come in on a regular basis to help process collections, and that could be anything like digitizing photographs. It could be entering data into the big database that's searchable. And then she also has some interns who are paid, and that's something that the friends helps with. So we help with staffing hours. So kind of covering those different bases. So let's take it one step back. What are archives? Let's start with a definition. What are we talking about? Well, we would really think of any records that the county has generated back to its founding. So there's a process where records that may be current, like from the court system or taxes, over time it will transfer into the archives. And so the archives has retained a lot of material both at the county level as well as some local information. What few people realize is that oftentimes the early draft boards, because they were locally administered, they have military records of those from the county that went to the Civil War or World War I, and things that are searchable by those interested. And how are the archives indexed? You mentioned searchable. So I imagine we're dealing with things from paper to microfiche to more contemporary forms of technology. Well much of the material still is in paper form, and one of the goals of our archivist is to convert it to digital. That's one of the things that we would like to assist them with, not just the searchable database so that we could search it at home, but ultimately scanning more of the information to make it available directly on the web. Because when I think of my son, for example, going through his schooling, nearly everything that he sees is on his iPad. So how do we get the archives onto his iPad? Right. Right. And then from someone doing academic research to genealogical research, there's all kinds of reasons people might want to access that information. Let's talk specifically about the role of the friends. What's your mission? Sure. So the Friends of the Ola County Archives has been around since 1986, and it was instrumental in actually helping the archives form and become what it is today. And we have three different main things that we sort of help out with at this point, which is outreach, advocacy, and then funding. And so for outreach, we've started to do, or we've tried to get more into the community, so doing things like the events such as the 150th anniversary railroad event. That would be one. We also go into the schools and try to do fun projects with primary sources with school children. So we did a fun transcription exercise with some students from Cesar Chavez Elementary here in Davis about a year ago. And so they took county board of supervisor minutes from the 1860s and 1870s, and they had to try to transcribe them. And that was really interesting as a first step into understanding history. So trying to get into the community, because like Ryan mentioned with his son, we both realized that we're not native to Yolo County, but our children are. And so it's really important to give kids a sense of place and belonging, and that this is also part of their background and their history. Things like advocacy is really important. So for example, the grand jury recently came out with a report in terms of things that should be done to improve the archives. And so that's something that we tracked closely and also responded to because there were certain things in there that needed addressing. So we try to advocate at the county level and also in the communities for the archives. And then funding, one thing for us is we also do fundraise throughout the year. We just started doing Big Day of Giving, so that's new for us. And we are a completely voluntary organization, and so we collect funds to help the archives. It could be things like sending Heather, for example, we sent her to the Society for American Archivists in Washington, D.C. at their annual meeting. She just came back from that. And so that's kind of, we like to support professional development for the staff. We do everything from buying boxes and supplies to helping with some of those staffing hours as well. Right. You mentioned the 150th anniversary of the train arriving, which was an event done August 25th. And so that's an example of your work to kind of bring the archives out into the community, kind of make history come alive. Do either of you want to talk about, there's some other events coming up, right? Well, I think that railroad event was a great example, because as Anastasia said, many of us and Davis tend to be transient in the sense that we've come in from elsewhere. Maybe we're here for a little while. But we wanted to have the community and the county realize that we're not for that event 150th year, 150 years ago, that much of the county would have developed differently. Sure. The train shaped Davis. Absolutely. And opened up the county to agriculture. And so along those lines, we've had Mel Russell, a former archivist and a volunteer the last few years, do extensive research on every man and woman who served in World War I. And so she's gone around the county and she has another series lined up here through the end of November, where she goes to local libraries. And each talk is different because it focuses on the people and the actions of that community 100 years ago. Now I understand that you are a collector of vintage and antique ephemera. I know you brought in some envelopes that aren't, unfortunately aren't going to show very well on camera, and that you're a history buff and a writer. So for you, what's the most interesting thing in the Yolo County archives? Well just to have it as a resource, so for example, I'm interested primarily in what are called Western Express Covers. And there was an express company in central Nevada in the late 1800s, but it turns out the gentleman who founded that, Mel Raum, was born in Yolo County. And so it's only through research through the archives that I was able to make that connection and with his mother, Catherine Raum, and land that they owned up by what today is Zamora. And so I was able to write an article for a journal and share that with other collectors that no one else had known before. We have something in common here because at Davis Media Access we have an archive of locally produced programs dating back to about the early 80s. And what we deal with from the video realm is the degradation of the source material. If you go back to early 80s we're talking original Betamax, you know things aren't, they're not accessible anymore or they're degrading. And I spoke a little bit with Heather at one point, that's a real challenge for the archives is how do you save things and how do you get that information online? So is there a specific push within your work that addresses that or is that what Heather is addressing? Yes. So that actually is sort of the challenge of the 21st century it seems where we have new types of ways of storing data. So and when you're going from paper which as Ryan was saying much of what's in the archives is still on paper and some of that is very old and brittle and it's not even just going from say a paper copy to a digital copy but sometimes there's an intermediary step of making things into photocopies which is interesting. So if you have like a newspaper article that's degrading you actually photocopy it onto archival quality acid free paper first. So there's an entire process. Now with Heather and we've had that we've discussed this with her as well that part of the issue is that the county doesn't yet have a digital content management system. So there's no way really to manage all the information. So the different collections that they have how they're organized, how do you search and all those things have to make sense or sort of a formula that goes along with that so that if you go into the archives and say well I want to know everything there is to know about my house which a lot of people do that. Sure. They might be interested especially if they live in an older home and they want to find they might be able to find deeds or they might be able to find information about previous owners and unless there is a really good way of doing keyword searches and doing relatable searches and all that has to come with digital management and whether it's photographs or documents and so for Heather right now that's a challenge and that was something that also came up in the grand jury report which was the idea that the county should be investing in this kind of system just to ensure the longevity of the archives that it will go into perpetuity and be there for future generations. So that's something that is very much on our minds or something that we will address. It's really interesting to learn that this issue was kind of elevated through the grand jury because I imagine honestly the archives are not the first thing the county supervisors think about when they're dealing with zoning they're dealing with road repairs they're dealing with health care delivery you know social services so and yet yeah it's our history. It is and actually the county so the county is investing two million dollars in renovating the archives and that was something that also came up in the grand jury report so they've invested money in compactable shelving which will increase storage capacity by about 40% which is very substantial yeah they've also invested in new heating and air conditioning and humidity control which as you can imagine is really important when you're trying to preserve primary documents from 1850. Absolutely. And so there is I think the county is doing as much as they can there's always room for improvement but as you said there's so many other pressing items and that's I think really where the friends comes in because we also feel that part of our job is to help promote the fact that there is an archive right because a lot of yolo county residents don't know that there is one and that's a challenge because unlike the libraries which have a storefront where you can walk into the davis library and it's this fantastic space we're really tucked away with limited hours and most people don't know where the archives is so that for us it's really nice to be here because that helps us promote the archives as well. I imagine there are challenges to having people go through old source materials you know you'd have to wear gloves you'd have to you know take care not to damage the materials. Right yeah absolutely. So like any volunteer organization I imagine that you're always looking for others to join you so how can people reach you and what kinds of needs do you have? So would you like me to address that or would you? Well I think it's great for anyone who's interested in history to join the organization as a member and so we're always looking for new members and then yes as we have these activities around the county to have volunteers and this railroad event was an example where it was just a couple of us who thought of the idea worked with the city with Union Pacific pulled people together so a lot of it is coordination and others can support. Good well I hope you'll let through me you'll let us know about some of the World War I events and we work with a lot of volunteers and interns I'm not making any promises but maybe we can get some of those recorded it's another way of helping to preserve that aspect of local history so I hope we'll be able to work together a bit. I want to thank you both for coming in today and I want to thank you for tuning in in the studio is where we highlight local issues because local voices matter it's what we here do here at Davis Media Access. This is in the studio find us online at dctv.davismedia.org and on CONCAST channel 15 here in Davis thanks so much.


We just made these genuine faux antique mercury mirrors, and we'll show you how we did it right now What is up? Welcome back. Do you like to do a builder to make it awesome because that's what we do here So go ahead and hit that subscribe button Take that bell to be notified of our new video each week this week. We're making our own mirrors We needed something to fill up these empty spaces next to our mirror And we can't stand here all day Step one and gather all your materials So we want to attempt to make a mercury glass mirror, so it's aged-looking glass But we're gonna make that aged mirror From plain glass.  Oh, she doesn't trust me with chemicals So we don't want to take a mirror and strip off the paint. So we're going to make a mirror We're gonna make our own mirror. We found this Mirror effect Rust-Oleum. We're using a 12 by 16 panel of glass from Home Depot We gathered some trim pieces. We're trying to match a mirror You saw it. So we gathered some trim pieces that will mimic it and we got a piece of backer board ours is like that Clipboard material. Yes, it's like a clipboard material. Yep, and some liquid nails step two Make all your cuts We already cut our trim pieces and we're now going to attempt to cut a piece of glass We need an eight inch piece Eight or eight and a half Okay, since we're gonna be cutting glass It clearly states that you should use safety glasses and gloves All right, we picked this glass cutting tool up from Home Depot when we got the panels and Now we're gonna try to cut some glass says to put a little drop of oil on there So you've done that Nice even pressure all the way across Oops, all right, we're gonna flip it and tap it Yeah, step two was cutting it step three is flip it over and Use the ball of this little glass cutting tool It's a ball end and you just tap the scored line Oh a crack it breaks the glass right on your scored line And look at that a little crooked a lot crooked Yeah, you won't even see it. We'll put it at the bottom. Hey, but it came out. Okay, not bad I think that was my wobbly hand with the cutting tool Yes All right I'm gonna clean this up the rest of these panels. We're gonna use with the size as the size that they can go by 16 step three Mock them up Don't need the protection anywhere, right? Oh I guess not all right now. We're gonna mock it up put everything in place like We hope to have it All right, so should I I guess I gotta open the rest of these you're gonna mock it up with the glass panels, right? Yeah Yeah, all right, we're gonna use some liquid nails and Some tape to glue it in place. We're just moving the frame right now And then we're gonna paint everything and then glue the panes of glass in it all taped up step five Time to paint the frame and paint the glass Hey, it's a mirror. I'll see it's you Awesome step two. It's beautiful now. We're gonna age it All right, we make some apple cider vinegar and some water half and half Now we're gonna make some splashes and blockages It's going to eat through the paint a little bit and we'll get the rag and pull up some of this paint So we can see the aging through it Twisting motion pull up some of that paint. It's hard to see. There we go. Okay so now we have Kind of eaten away some of the paint the mirror paint. We're gonna let this dry We're gonna add paint to the back of this Now I'm just gonna hit them with two different color paints on the back in different areas all right Hold it still. Let me see them.  This one looks at least a hundred and fifty years old They're gonna look good This is my bright idea and he's gonna like it. It'll look good. It'll look good Time to liquid nail them down liquid nail them if you got them Are there crumbs in here? You can snack it in here.  Push it. Mmm. Okay, get it It's very snug. I Don't know if you should push it. It's in there. It's in there All right, whoo, that last one was snug All right, I'm not gonna tilt it all the way up All right, that's what we have so far We're gonna put some stuff on here to hold it down until it dries And then we're gonna hang it Not sure if you can see it. You can see the liquid nails through the glass The more you know It looks good though, man. Yeah. Yeah, good job.

Given the huge number of cell phone users these days, even small, simple adverse health effects could have major implications. The major concern is that they're usually held close to the head, resulting in significant exposure to the brain. But what other tissues are on the side of the head where the phone is usually placed? Like how about your inner ear? I mean, that's the organ most frequently and directly exposed to cell phone radiation. So what about possible adverse effects on hearing? In fact, the ear canal may provide a natural route by which, you know, emissions can go deeper into our skull. OK, well, a first natural question to ask might be, do long-term cell phone users have worse hearing? Apparently so. Cell phone users were found to have detectable hearing loss, though not enough to be noticeable, suggesting long-term cell phone use might damage the inner ear. The damage done was bilateral, detectable in both ears, which may be more consistent with a radiation effect than just a constant, loud noise in one ear effect. Now, this was comparing users to complete non-users. If you compare heavy to light users, there appears to be a dose response, meaning the longer the duration of daily cell phone use, up to four or five hours a day, the more the hearing loss. The higher the sound threshold before they could hear this hearing test tone, clearly revealing that researchers include the hazardous effects of mobile phone use on auditory function. Based on the study, they recommend that cell phones be used judiciously, as there does not seem to be any difference between non-users and those that just used it like 10 to 20 minutes a day. However, two hours a day did appear to be associated with a certain amount of hearing loss blamed on the exposure to the electromagnetic fields generated by the phones. But to make a claim like that, you can't just use observational studies like these. You need to put it to the test. To see if cell phone signals could affect the auditory nerve at all, period, they directly exposed the nerve to a cell phone hovering right over it in the middle of brain surgery for five minutes, and saw a dramatic deterioration of the nerve impulses, so much so they decided to stop the experiment early to avoid possible permanent damage. So obviously, this is a very unnatural situation, clearly far from reproducing EMF exposure, where you have things like skin, bone, blood, and brain in the way, but it does show the cell phone emissions are powerful enough to at least potentially affect nerve function. OK, but how about an interventional study on the effects of cell phones on hearing with your skull actually on? The first study ever published and 10 minutes of cell phone exposure had no effect. OK, so far so good. What about longer than 10 minutes? No effect at 15, 20, or 30 minutes, either. That's a relief. What about 60? 60 minutes did appear to have an immediate impact on hearing threshold levels at specific frequencies. Again, not to the extent someone would notice, but enough to be picked up on these hearing tests. What if you wear a Bluetooth headset? I mean, does Bluetooth radiation affect hearing? No effect on your pet rat. But what about the other members of your family? 30 volunteers were exposed to a Bluetooth headset device on standby for six hours, then full power for 10 minutes, and no changes in hearing detected. Maybe Bluetooth emissions just don't have the power to affect nerves? It's too bad that brain surgery group didn't try waving around some Bluetooth headsets, too. Oh, but they did. After showing that cell phone fields could deteriorate nerve impulses, they decided to repeat the experiment to see if the same thing happened with Bluetooth fields. Bluetooth operated higher frequencies, which at the same power might be more hazardous, but Bluetooth operates at nearly a thousand times lower strength. No surprise then that the Bluetooth device had no effect on the auditory nerve, even when it was completely exposed. Taken together, the researchers conclude these findings indicate that using a Bluetooth headset may be safer in terms of effects on the nervous system, and therefore represents a viable solution for safer cell phone operation.


Insulin-like growth factor signalling, IIS, is a major regulator of aging in many organisms. In this study, researchers examined the effects of lowered IIS on the lifespans of various tissues in fruit flies. They found that lowered IIS caused changes in protein levels in several tissues, including the fat body, gut, and muscle. These changes were associated with decreased translation in the fat body and increased respiration in the gut, both of which are necessary for extending lifespan. Additionally, they found that increasing the activity of a particular proteasimal subunit in the gut was enough to extend lifespan by itself. This suggests that lowered IIS may be able to extend lifespan through multiple pathways. This article was authored by Lukestine, Robert Selka, Chirag Jain, and others.

Have you ever been to a Persian restaurant and had their crispy tatik? Well, let me show you how to do that. You could do this with jasmine or basmati rice Just make sure you wash it about four to five times before boiling it in a heavily salted water You want the rice to be cooked al dente. So when you put it between your fingers, it breaks up very easily strained and let's make the yogurt concussion add all the ingredients together I like to add an egg yolk for extra creaminess Then bring in about one cup of the rice mix the yogurt concussion really thoroughly and then add the rest of the rice Covered up and I like to put a kitchen towel on the top so it captures all this steam Let it simmer for about 45 minutes and before serving you can add butter or olive oil Flip and cross your fingers. There you have it Beautiful tatik. I hope you enjoy this


Ladies and gentlemen, we gather today with heavy hearts for our fallen firefighters. May our hearts continue to be filled with love for our great country. Please join me in the Pledge of Allegiance with your right hand over your heart. Begin. I pledge allegiance to the flag of the United States of America and to the republic for which it stands, one nation under God, indivisible with liberty and justice for it. Thank you. Please remain standing. Oh, say can you see by the dawn, sir, what's a prize? Almighty God, you gather us together this day as we take time to remember these firefighters and the lives they have given on our behalf. For the men and women of the fire service in California, we honor and pay tribute to these our beloved fallen for the sacrifices they have made to their agencies, their respective communities, and to the citizens of this great state. We recall in a special way this morning those whose names are newly etched into our California Firefighters Memorial. Our brothers Pat, Robert, Donald, Jack, Gary, David, Greg, John, Clyde, George, Frank, Daniel, Larry, David, Stephen, James, Stephen, Harvey, Mark, Hector, Joseph, Barry, Richard, Rick, Scott, Laofi, Johnny, Phil, and Arthur. First and foremost, Lord, we beg your loving care and kindness upon the families of our fallen that they may be continually comforted and supported by your presence that surrounds them through caring and generous families, friends, and communities. We pray your blessing upon the men and women of the fire service who serve throughout California that you may watch over, protect, and guide our firefighters as they care for this wonderful state. Give your loving reassurance to their family and friends who also yearn for the safety of those who have sworn to protect and care for us. And we ask your blessings up over the citizens of California that we may truly be instruments in building your peaceful reign in our Golden State. And we ask this in your sacred name, amen. Please be seated. Good morning. My name is Lou Paulson. I am the president of the California Professional Firefighters, and I have the honor of also being the chair of the California Fire Foundation, the nonprofit organization that maintains this memorial. I'd like to start by thanking Secretary of State Alex Padilla for his leading us in the Pledge of Allegiance. As always, Humberto for the Star Spangled Banner. I'd also like to thank Father Jason Lanza for his invocation. Father Jason and I were talking earlier today about all the praying that we've all done collectively to make sure that today would be just a wonderful day to have this ceremony. And we're thankful to all the combined prayers and whatever work Father Jason did to hold the weather off for a few hours so we can conduct this ceremony outside and give your loved ones a proper memorial. I'd also like to thank some of the many dignitaries that are joining us today. We're, of course, honored by Governor Jerry Brown. We've heard from Secretary of State Padilla. We're honored also to have Lieutenant Governor Gavin Newsom, State Comptroller Betty Yee, Insurance Commissioner Dave Jones, and also from the state legislature we have Senator Richard Pan, Assemblymember Jim Cooper, Assemblymember Ken Cooley, Assemblymember Devon Mathis, Assemblymember Freddie Rodriguez, Assemblymember Jim Frazier. Also joining us here today is Daniel A. Terry, President Emeritus of the California Professional Firefighters, the founding chairman of the California Fire Foundation, and the individual who thought of, dreamed of, put the paper and constructed this memorial on this site. And we're so always happy to have Dan here. I'd also like to recognize the many brothers and sisters that are on duty today. We are live streaming this ceremony to stations throughout the state of California. I know they'd like to be here, but unfortunately, they are protecting the citizens like we do every day in this great state. I know they're here with us in spirit. 12 days ago, I spoke with Jennifer Osler, wife of Ryan Osler, who recently died in the line of duty from the Ventura County Fire Department. Jennifer and her family will be sitting in your chairs next year. As we spoke, we talked about how their family was doing. And she said that her family was getting used to their new normal. That normal was not having Ryan with them any longer. The same new normal that you've all faced. And maybe some of you are trying to still deal with. But today, I'd like all of you and all of us to take a moment to think back to the old normal. The times before you lost your loved one. All those wonderful moments together. I know all of us that worked with your loved ones remember them in those terms. And how fortunate we were to have them as part of our fire service brotherhood. For me, I was lucky enough to experience Jim Martin's smile, a smile you could see a mile away. I look forward to being enveloped in Jim's smile, his good sense of humor, and his laugh. He was truly a wonderful man. And we all watched his dedication and commitment that he had to his family and to his second family, the members of the Fremont Fire Department. What he did for those brothers and sisters in Fremont will long be remembered. The 29 individuals we honor today, your loved ones, went out every day, like the 1,300 names behind me on this wall. And they changed the lives of the people of California. None of them ever considered themselves as heroes. But they lived their life with an uncommon courage that heroes have. A courage that has made our state a better place. Reach searchers have shown that people when asked how they want to be remembered, the overwhelming answer is they want to be remembered that they made a difference. You know, and I know, that the moment your loved one pinned on the badge, they started making a difference. They made a difference every day when they responded to calls. And they made a difference in how they lived their lives. We are here because the people of California want everyone to know that they made the difference in the lives of the citizens of this great state. So let us spend these moments today acknowledging the honor bestowed upon them. Let us remember the normal when they were with us. Let us be thankful for our lives with them, even if it was just for a short while. And finally, let us be at peace knowing that they have paid the ultimate sacrifice while doing the job that they loved. God bless them all. There's always some reason to feel not good enough. And it's hard. It's some distraction. Oh, beautiful relief. Oh, the world keeps on turning, but it's not like before, like each day. This memorial bears witness to the gratitude and the appreciation shown to us every day by the people of the state of California. This gratitude is shared by many people who work in the building behind us, including our next guest. This year, we're honored to have Governor Jerry Brown speak to us. It's the first opportunity I've had to thank Governor Brown, who signed two pieces of legislation to ensure that children of all fallen firefighters will be eligible to realize their dreams and have an education in our public colleges and universities. He also approved a piece of legislation that would guarantee that future generations of our fallen brothers and sisters will occupy the proper place on this memorial site. We're honored and humbled to have the governor of the state of California speaking on behalf of the people of California, Edmund G. Brown, Jr. Thank you, Lou, and it's a privilege and a pleasure to be here to honor the fallen firefighters. I notice you mentioned a few of the bills. There's always more. I do want to say, because I didn't sign them all, I just want to recall I signed my last act as governor in 1982 in Oakland, the first presumption bill that allowed firefighters to recover based on the presumption that cancer was caused in the light of duty. I even think Dan Terry might have been there. Not too many are still around, Dan, so glad to see you here. Anyway, it's really moving to be just a small part of this ceremony in a time of so much acrimony and so much negative thinking and often aspersions about government as the problem. It's good to see where government is really the savior, is the inspiration, the hero, which firefighters represent. So when people talk about government, they often don't think about firefighters. But I want to claim you for government, because it makes us look better in government than we actually are. So thanks. And I also want to say something about the solidarity and the camaraderie that I can feel here and every one of you understand. There's not many parts of our society and much less parts of government service that have that bond, that connection, that spiritual tying together of people joined together in the same enterprise, protecting people at times through fires, emergency, medical situations. This is life and death. And with all the other stuff we do over there down that hall, there's a lot of paper and there's a lot of numbers. But at the end of the day, it is about life and it's about death. And while we're alive, we try to serve one another and feel that bond and that exhilaration of being able to make a difference. And that's what all of you do. And we memorialize and remember those who've gone before us. So we're all part of that. We're part of those who've come before. We're part of those who come after. It's a living stream of service and dedication and heroism. So congratulations and thank you. As the governor mentioned, as firefighters were devoted to duty, which is only matched by our devotion to each other. When we lose a firefighter, whether it's from a traumatic incident or the slow-motion death of a job-related illness, we as firefighters feel that loss as deeply as a member of our own family.  Here to offer one such story is Jeff Dondabedean, captain with the Oxnard Fire Department. It is with a mixture of pride and humility that I stand in front of you today at the California Fall and Firefighters Memorial. I was asked here today because of the passing of my friend and fellow brother, Captain Scott Carroll, of the Oxnard Fire Department. I want to talk to you about what this memorial wall means and why we do what we are doing today. Unfortunately, like many of us, we know more than just one firefighter on this memorial, an academy mate, someone from the ambulance days, or someone we used to fight wild and fires with. About a year ago, I got one of the worst phone calls in my life. I learned that my friend had passed away. Scott was the best of us, always there for anyone at the drop of a hat. He cared so deeply about his brothers and sisters in the fire service. And he set such a great example in how he cared for his family, too. He was a second generation Oxnard firefighter. And because I am one as well, I've always felt closer to Scott because we grew up in the same firehouses that our father served in. Scott also lived passionately and always put those emotions on his sleeve. It was this passion that had him traveling all across the USA to watch baseball, dragging his kids eight hours Arizona to watch one spring training game, kneeling down to console with the victim's family member after someone had passed, or grabbing his gear and equipment and leading his crew into battle and inferno. Scott taught me a couple of great life lessons while he was alive and now in death. Those lessons are to find your passion and do it 1,000%. Scott left this world way too early, like so many here on this wall. But he lived a full life and left a huge impact on all the lives he had touched. It is from my personal experience of this last year that I have a much deeper connection with this firefighter memorial. It is a place where our fallen heroes still talk to us all. They remind us all of what it is to serve, what it is to sacrifice, and what it means to be selfless. It encourages me to keep going, to keep serving to the best of my ability, to keep the people I serve safe, and to keep my skills sharp so that I may perform my duties as heroically as our fallen did. Standing in front of this wall with these firefighters' names engraved in stone for all of us to see and touch, I truly understand that we will all be judged by what we give and not what we take in this life. These brave men and women gave their all so that others may continue to live their dreams and their lives to the fullest. As sad and heartbroken as many of us may be, it is important for us to hold true to that value both now in how we live and how we grieve the loss of our brothers and sisters. As much as the memorial honored the commitment to service from all firefighters, it is also a way for us to honor the sacrifices and commitments from our families. Only those of us who wear the uniform can truly see the sacrifices our families make. The spouses and children are the real heroes of the fire service. Without them, most of us would not be the firefighters or the people that we are. This memorial also serves as a reminder to the families that you have not forgotten, for you are one of us. We immortalize your loved ones in stone for all to see and know. We honor you as much as we honor them. An amazing thing happened during the initial hours, passing weeks and months, and now year of my brothers passing. I got to witness the fire service come around us. They supported us and carried us through our darkest time. My brothers and sisters were there for us and for Scott's family. I look back now with immense pride. It reinforces why we must continue to gather here every year and why this memorial is so important for the survivors and future generations. To the families of our fallen who sacrificed so much and suffered so deeply, I hope you truly know and feel the love and support around you here today and always. You've always been there for us, and now it is our turn to be there for you, as your loved one was there for others and their times of need. As I walked through the memorial yesterday and got to see and touch my friend's name Edgedon Stone for all to see, I felt a warmth replacing the sadness. It was in that moment that I felt more connected to my friend, and this memorial became so much more than just a wall. This is a place where heroes are immortalized in honor of their family, their friends, and their colleagues. We are gathered here to remember them, but more to celebrate them and what they meant to all the life they touched. We will continue to gather here year after year to continue to honor our loved ones that have made the ultimate sacrifice. And for those that, unfortunately, will do so in the future. We will be here for your family, for you, and for each other. We will also be here to remember our fallen for the men and women they were and remember why we must continue our commitments to our communities. Thank you. The musicians who graced our ceremony today, UC Davis, a capella group who sang Angel and Mella Lee for her performance of Falling Star, a song that she and Alexander Burke co-wrote for this California firefighter memorial. Today, 29 names go up on this beautiful, polished limestone mall. To honor each of these fallen heroes, United States flags will be presented to the family members or department representatives. After all the flags are presented, CPF President Emeritus Daniel A. Terry will close our program with the traditional last alarm ceremony. I want to thank you all for joining us today as we honor our fallen colleagues and the families that they leave behind. Joining us to call this year's role of honor is Tracy Hansen, Chief of the Consumers Fire Department and President of the California Fire Chiefs Association. I'd like to take them on with a thank, Tracy. She's stepping away as president of the California Fire Chiefs Association. So this is her last ceremony. She's been a wonderful supporter of this memorial, and we thank her for her dedication, not to this memorial, but to the fire service itself. Thank you. Good morning. Thank you, Lou, for the opportunity to participate in this tribute to our fallen brothers and sisters. Today, 29 firefighters who died in the line of duty will have their sacrifice forever enshrined on the California Firefighter Memorial. For each of these fallen heroes, an American flag is being carried by a firefighter from the department for which they served. These flags will be presented to a family member, friend, or department representative. When the name of each firefighter is called, the person receiving the flag will stand to accept this remembrance and the gratitude of all Californians. Patrick Lee Carpenter, Cal Fire.

The first name on the California Firefighter Memorial is that of James Welch, a San Francisco firefighter who paid the ultimate price in 1851. In Brother Welch's time, the firefighters were called to service by the ringing of a bell. It was a bell that signaled the beginning of that day's new shift. Throughout the day and night, each alarm sounded by the bell, which summoned those brave souls to fight the fire. When the fire was out, it was a bell that signaled the completion of the call. And when the firefighter had died in the line of duty, paying the supreme sacrifice, it was a mournful toll of the bell that announced his passing. Much has changed over the last 160 years, but some traditions still remain as a part of our profession. These traditions reflect honor and respect for those who have given so much and who have served so well. As a tribute to their courage and sacrifice, we ring the last alarm. A special signal of three rings, three times each. It represents the end of our comrades' duties, and then they will be returning to quarters. As it was for Brother Welch, when our state was new, we honor our 40 fallen brothers for their selfless devotion to duty with the last alarm. Their duty's well done, they're going home.


How does it affect a normal person who's a user of a product if somebody who's a security researcher has Reported a vulnerability to that company and the company never fixes it. Mm-hmm. Well, I don't know about you But I'm one of the hundred and forty three million people that lost my personal information and credit history when Equifax Decided not to patch a single vulnerability in their servers behind every data breach is a story And that story is either that people didn't know something was wrong or People knew something was wrong, but they De-prioritized the fix for it not understanding how severely it could impact them and consumers and the people whose data they're storing You talked about a coordinated vulnerable disclosure. So who's coordinating and what's being coordinated? When we talk about multiple stakeholders in a vulnerability One of the things we're talking about is not just the people who found it and the people who need to fix it but also the people who are Advocating for the consumers who may be affected by it. That's how you'll get situations like the FTC stepping in to have a conversation or two with companies that have repeatedly failed to fix Major vulnerabilities in their systems when they're protecting consumer data The EFF is a great example Tends to want to protect a larger community of people not just the researchers Not just the people working at the company, but all the people who are impacted by a vulnerability So a security researcher finds something that's wrong and reports it to a company the company's incentives Need to be aligned with the idea that they should be fixing the vulnerability not suing the researcher into silence


The ongoing battle over pension reform has become a game of moving targets for educators hoping to mobilize this week as the legislative session comes to a close. It seems the only sure thing at this point is that many schools will likely see classes canceled this Friday as educators once again descend upon the state capitol. When the state legislature comes back into session Friday they will likely be met with demonstrators just as they were nearly two weeks ago when thousands of educators and supporters packed onto the capitol grounds and with that will likely come a work stoppage. Other school districts are already calling it. We called for this on Pike County Strong, the group called for this on a Sunday and I know that teachers across the county started calling in for Friday on Sunday. Lee Collins, a co-organizer of the group Pike County Strong said this week's developments in the pension battle have changed the game, but she said educators from Pike County are prepared to take the fight back to Frankfurt and after that to the polls. And all this dust has settled whether it's this week, Friday, Saturday, or next week if special session is called or June the 30th or if we go into government shutdown if we don't have a budget. We will hit the ground running and hard campaigning for our fellow colleagues, educators across the state who are running for public office. Collins said educators only want what they have earned. So you know our pensions, we want our schools fully funded and you know we want to be treated with respect from our leader. Friday's rally in Frankfurt is set to begin at 8 a.m. and events and demonstrations are also planned for Saturday as well. In Pike County, Chris Anderson, EKB News.


So a flipped classroom, first of all, no matter what you learn, there's always two stages to learning. There's a stage where you get content. Most of the time in a traditional classroom, an instructor delivers that content to you, especially in our very intense biology courses where there's just a ridiculous amount of content. And as an instructor, like I often have the misconception that if I say it, you understand it.  Like I just totally nailed that lecture, it was incredible. And now they know it all. But we know that that's not actually the case. And getting new material is just one half of the process of learning. The other half involves doing something and you have to do something. Most instructors build in the do something as homework. So they give you the content in the form of a lecture and then they send you home to do homework. And while you're doing your homework, that's when you're actually like messing with the concepts. Well, in a flipped class, we switch that. So at home on your own, you acquire content. If you have ever been asked to read something before coming to class or like watch something or whatever, if you've been asked to come to class prepared, you did the content acquisition on your own and then you're going to do something, you're going to have a discussion or you're going to take a quiz or whatever, you're going to do something during class time. That's actually a flipped environment. So lots of people flip. I love the idea of flipping. Like I would do back flips all over the place if I could, I can't. But it'd be super awesome if I could. So I like calling my approach the flip, but really all it is is that I'm holding you accountable to come into class prepared. You acquire content on your own through a video lecture. And my video lectures are just like what you would see, like what I would actually do for you. So like this right here, I would actually be talking just like this and I'd be bouncing around. I'd probably be bouncing around a little bit more if I were in an actual classroom. I'd probably be kicking some people. I might spit on someone. I mean, that's all accident. I won't spit on you here. So that's one of the advantages of the video lecture. But then you're going to come to class where we get to like mess with the concepts. We get to play games. We get to do case studies. I get to practice exam questions on you. I get to find out what was hard, what didn't make sense to you. And so we're doing something during class instead of doing something at home. The awesome part is that, dude, I get paid a lot.  Like this is fantastic. And you get more access to me because I'm still giving you the lecture content. But then we have an hour and a half to hang out together. You can ask me any questions. You have things that were tricky. And like I said, I bring stuff for you to do. I think the most important thing to think about as to why did I do this? Because I'll tell you right now, it is not easier for me.  So really, I mean, I don't think that's your goal. I mean, if you're in the class, I assume that you would like to pass it. So no matter what, you're going to have to study on your own. And so I'm just saying study before class. Watch the videos, take notes. Come to class with some questions. And then during class time, we're going to, you're going to get to hang out with me and take advantage of my brain. That amazing thing. So look at this. This is so awesome. This is brain activity when people are in a class with a lecture. Now, this is one person, so we could definitely, you know that there are people out there who are super engaged in a lecture. They ask lots of questions. They answer all the questions that the professor asks them. But that's like three people in a class of 100.  But most of ours do. And we, even if we're writing down things like mad, we tend to have a relatively steady, it's like, look, oh, it's the same brain activity that you have when you're watching TV. And that to me was the kicker. When I saw this study, I was like, dude, this is ridiculous. Like we have to be doing something more substantial in class time, which is why I set up the flip the way that I do. One of the concerns that people often have is that it will take them more time. And like I said, it doesn't take you more time unless you are planning not to study. My classes are never classes where you cannot study, unless you're one of those really rare people who really doesn't have to study and then my class will take you more time. But you should study anyway, even if you think you don't need to study, which makes perfect sense. Okay, so in, I don't know, thing number seven in this lecture, we're going to talk about setting up a weekly plan so that you have enough time to carry out all the things that you need to do for the class. So before we get there, let's talk a little bit about the course materials. Now we're going to get into the nitty gritty, like what's actually going to happen in this class.


The capital expenditures budget is one of the easier budgets to prepare. Recall the capital expenditures are the outflows to construct capital projects like property, plant, and equipment. You can see that the capital expenditures budget is the eighth budget completed in the master budget process. A common format for this budget is to list the capital projects and when the expected cash expenditures will happen. So let's look at how to do this in a Excel. Notice the column letters and the row numbers. We will reference these as we build this budget in Excel. Here you can see I just entered the assumed amounts into some random quarter. We will use Excel to sum the quarterly expenditures and the total expenditure by project type.


Thanks for checking out this unboxing video. So this is for the May Snaku box I do apologize big time for this one being as late as it is. I wanted to get this done much sooner I mean maybe like as close as to two weeks ago to be honest because I've had this box for a little bit But I got sick I got very sick and then I ran out of time after I Recovered enough from being sick my wife ended up getting sick on top of that and you know It takes about a half an hour to do these unboxings So I really apologize for that all my other ones should be much more timely because hopefully I don't get sick again I always do look forward to these though and May was my birthday month So very excited to see if this ends up being my favorite box and be my birthday box anyway We'll find out Gonna pull this out Looks like in there You can see everything Look at it all look at it all and all its glory All right, let's see what we got So the theme I believe was samurai So I don't really know how that ties in how they're gonna tie everything into like Samurai I don't know if it's like Samurai cuisine or to Or a particular region that is more tied to Samurai culture or not, but They have cool artwork on these always. There's a Samurai dude. All right, so Do I'm not gonna read all the stuff at the top, but if you guys want to pause and read that Go ahead Then you can kind of get the idea of why they chose Samurai and all that but I will read the stuff for the snacks There's Looks like six of the snacks are from like the core Samurai portion And then there's a bunch of like additional ones down here. So let's go through and see what we got I just picked up the first one. I think it does. This is the Kamome egg, I believe I think Yeah, Kamome egg The Tohoku region has a long coastal region which borders the Pacific Ocean as such There are many small fishing villages that dot the coast and lots of seagulls these snacks were made to look like seagull eggs But don't worry.  So here we go. So yes, it looks like an egg like a big Big seagull egg Check that out.   I like that That's really good The combination between the white chocolate aspect and that vanilla flavor in there Tastes so good. It's creamy. It's cakey It's just like vanilla custard it tastes so good. That's really awesome. I really really really like that one I really do. Oh my gosh, oh It's um So with a lot of these snacks, they're sweet like because they're sugary They're sweet, but they're usually like not really sweet. That's one. That's on the sweeter side of what I get out of this box And I'm honestly okay with that because it tastes really good. That's really nice That's really nice. Okay. Let me see what this Put that aside What is this? Okay, I think I know I think this is a Zunda crunch. Is that what this is I? think So I don't have I don't know that's that What is this one? I'm gonna have to open it and then I can tell you Okay, so that's what this is I'm sorry. It's kind of hard to see because I have reflective it is You have to get into this and then sorry then I have to figure out what it is. Okay. Yeah, it's the Zunda crunch the On this paper the Rapper looks very different. So All right, so this is light crunchy rice puff sticks dipped in Zunda chocolate These snacks are exclusive to the Sendai area They don't look appetizing to be honest, it's like a kind of green like cereal bar You know how people would take like You know, they do like a rice crispy treat type thing, but they do it with different types of cereal It kind of looks like someone shows a different cereal that had some green to it and put like white chocolate in it What is that smell?  It smells interesting I don't know. I'll try it. So What's binding it all together Tastes kind of like a White chocolate that has a little bit of a milk chocolate mixed in It's kind of good for it.  So you're not gonna like Hurt your teeth or anything. Yeah, it definitely tastes like it's it's like a white chocolate But with a little bit of milk chocolate mixed in there I don't know why it's green to be honest because there's no sort of like vegetal flavor It's not like matcha or anything like that but It's pretty good. It's it's coming off kind of buttery too With the aftertaste a little bit buttery and I like that. It's kind of nice Sorry, when I picked that up and put it down Kind of like moves the camera a little bit. So I apologize My bad. Okay. Moving on. Here is something that looks interesting. I mean it all looks interesting, but oh I think I ooh is this the um Zunda Monju? Okay, I believe so it's got to be the Zunda Monju. Oh, I hope this isn't on the outside What I think it is. Okay, so Zunda Monju I'll show you. So it kind of looks like a Little baby donut without a hole in it. It's kind of what it looks like Sendai is famous for food that is made with Zunda, which is crushed at a mommy paste Oh Because Masamune used to eat Zunda before going to war these soft thin-skinned Rice cake filled with a slightly sweet Zunda filling Perfect with a cup of green tea. I Can see some green coming through in the bottom See It's like a green Yeah It does smell kind of vegetal Yeah, like tea kind of The inside is very potato-y In texture It's this weird kind of like a lime green I don't know why It does have a little bit of a vegetal note to it Slightly sweet But it's very potato-y To be honest, it's like so potato-y. It's kind of like You know potatoes, it's just so starch-y And it kind of because it's so heavy It has a tendency to like crush a lot of you know more Nuanced flavors that would go with it and kind of does that so it's just like a little bit sweet a little bit vegetal and Potato texture starchy. I'm not big on it It's not bad. That's not great. That color's funky though Look, I like that color It's kind of cool That they should have put that in the one for uh saint patrick's day I'm sure they don't actually celebrate saint patrick's day really in japan, but you know, that's just me being dumb All right, let's try something different. Oh, no, I want to save that one for a little bit. Let's save that one Let's do this one This should be interesting bourbon fowl cookie Fowl fowl cookie. So I don't know if there's chicken in it or turkey or something No, probably not a tasty butter cookie filled with smooth almond cream That sounds awesome. Wait, is there an extra one in here? I'm sure there is. Yeah, my wife She likes like almond stuff and cookies. So If this tastes the way it sounds like it should taste I think that she could really like this That looks cool. It looks nice. It's got like a nice little slight brown crisp to it Oh, you can smell that almond on the outside of it. Wow Very almond driven It smells buttery and almondy Oh, that smells awesome.  It's buttery and it's got a lot of like great almond flavor Yeah, my wife is gonna like this one Oh my gosh, the almond cream is amazing. It's like it's look at this at almond cream So I like almond butter, but that's better than almond butter. It's kind of like Think about like a homemade not chemical tasting um Like a peanut butter cup, but instead of it being peanut butter, it's almond butter That's kind of like what this is like. It's That's phenomenal. I like almond butter But this is like a kicked up more sugary version. This is just smooth and creamy and buttery and tasty and That thing's amazing That is an amazing snack right there um My wife is gonna love that one Wow Yeah, that's killer All right, let's see what this one is. Okay Oh, okay, so this thing I think is really Uh delicate so I need to Figure out if I have one that's not broken Because a lot of the stuff just gets broken real easily. I'm not sure I do have any that's broken So I'll just go with the one that seems least broken. This is a masamune cookie Cut cookies in the in the same Same It's it's not perfectly written that I did Incorrect words in here and stuff Cute cookies in the shape of a triangle rice ball Onigiri, but also made to look like Date masum with the iconic gold crescent moon helmet Famous samurai Oh, yeah, this one's messed up. It's not too bad though Let's see if I can get it out Without Making it break anymore.  It kind of smells like my mother's oatmeal raisin cookies Is what it smells like It does smell like oatmeal with a little bit of sugar That's interesting That's right. It's very light. It's very buttery sugary It tastes like a nice light crisp sugar cookie Or no, I mean like a butter cookie That's good This is a type of cookie that A lot of people would Would want to have with like coffee or tea or something like that like it's nice and sweet It's not crazy sweet, but it's nice and sweet. It's light. It's buttery It's pretty good It's nothing like phenomenal I understand why they put it in there because it has it has the little face on it So it's kind of tied into the samurai thing, but It's not all that different from stuff you can get in the states But you know, I'm down to try stuff. All good All right, let's do this one next which is zunda sandwich Sandwich or the sandvich As I said in japan zunda sweet sand pie is what it says There you go Uh a tasty regional snack from matsushima Which is located 30 minutes north of sendai The area is famous for its bay which is dotted with small pine clad islets And has been named one of japan's most scenic areas It's also home to Ziganji one of japan's oldest buddhist temples, which was founded in 828 that is very old Find out what this is on the sandwich is really like And much like the zunda crunch There's a green coloration going on Well, you can't really see it initially so I can like crap all over me So it kind of looks like a wafer cookie with lots of salt or lots of sugar on top It smells like granola It definitely I eat a lot of granola like for breakfast. I usually granola. It smells like granola Hmm Oh Oh Oh That's really good I'm trying to think what it's like So it's kind of like it's like a really light buttery flaky pastry kind of like I'm trying to think of something similar I don't know. It's just a really awesome flaky crunchy pastry. It's really good I do And the sugar on top is not too much That's really good Okay, so basically it tastes like a really awesome homemade pie crust to be honest With some of that chocolate on the inside. That's kind of like the mix of like white chocolate with a little bit of milk chocolate mixed into it The pie crust aspect of this is just It's like nice and crispy and flaky and That's awesome. That's really good I love that one. Oh That's so good Yeah, that's Love it. Love it. Love it. Love it All right, we're getting down there. We're getting down there So next i'm gonna go for Yaki soy Lightly salted grilled soybeans A light healthy snack for when the afternoon cravings kick in Okay There we go. Sometimes these things are hard to get over. Yeah, it's just like a Like a little toasted soybean looking thing It smells Smells like a soybean a little salty vegetable It's very good There's some other flavor in there. There's like a slight soy sauce I think I like the salt level on it. There's a decent amount of salt in there Very crunchy as you can probably hear I really like that crunch. This is like a better for you Potato chip kind of this is good Yeah, it's just like a nice easy like light salty snack There's not like a crazy amount of flavor to it. It's mainly like crunchy and salty And there's a little bit of a soy soybean flavor And it reminds you of potato chips to be honest I like it. I got 100% eat these things and I will That's a real good nice This has been a really good box By and large there are a few things I'm like, oh, okay, but for the most part good good box All right. Oh this one. Okay. This I don't know about this one We'll do Okay, I always do the hard candies last there's a hard candy. So we'll do that last but Let's do this one right now buttered potato mochi So this sounds really weird and this is one that I picked up earlier and was like I'm gonna save that for a little bit later I'm gonna try this one This buttered potato mochi bite-sized mochi snack needed with buttered baked potato This sounds really weird Oh, they're like individually packaged within here. Okay, cool. And they kind of just look like, um Like a little jellies. Well, I should just take it out of this little package because You don't want to see that you don't need to see that It's nothing special I mean, it's just look yeah, it just looks like a sugared jelly See, let me put my hand behind and see a little bit better. Yeah, see it's like a sugared jelly I smell butter. I also smell potato, which is very weird All right It's a jelly So weird It tastes like a potato This is very weird Yeah, it's like a buttery It's it's like a buttery potato gel That's so weird like texturally this flavor makes no sense with it like It makes no sense. It tastes like a buttered baked potato But it's a little jelly With a little bit of sugar on it, which doesn't add that much sweetness. So it's fine It's so weird It doesn't taste bad. It actually tastes good for the flavors in there.  It just doesn't It doesn't compute properly Actually, it's not just sugar on there. It's a little bit of salt too. It's like salt and sugar, which is good um Okay, I think I that one's really weird but interesting but If you're a fan of being adventurous And tasting odd stuff like that, it's not gross. It's not gross Check check that out because it's it's it's an experience. It's definitely an experience Okay, so let me go with I don't know if these are both the same. Oh, I don't think these are the same flavors So one's one and one's the other one And they're sendai mini rolls See sendai oh which I guess I should put them this way See there you go It's like samurai on there sendai mini rolls A regional delicacy which has been made in sendai for over 100 years Soft bumkuchen cakes filled with either red bean paste or white mochi cream Oh, dude, I want the white mochi cream one Oh, I don't know which one's gonna be which I'm not gonna open them both I think this might be the white mochi cream one I have 50 50 chance. Let's try I'm gonna try for it Get what we get but oh, I think it's the white mochi cream one sweet Yeah, it just looks like a cake roll actually have had something Well a few things similar to this in the snacku before it's one of those ones where if you can see there's like multiple layers here You see you can see the multiple layers of like very thin cake Which other ones I've had kind of like this before it have been really good It smells Like vanilla Yeah, it smells like a vanilla cream and sugary. That's pretty much it Yeah Yeah, it's good That mochi cream is very nice. It's a little bit marshmallow-y.  It's really good I like that that's tasty I think my wife will dig it too. That's good, man This has been a really good box, man, and this is what I don't understand like These snacks that they had these little packaged snacks that we've been getting from japan They're always like when they're cakey like that. They're always still soft They're always nice and light and fluffy and soft and when american companies do it They're not like they get hard like real quick. So I don't know what the difference is here I guess it's ingredients based but I don't know.  I just don't eat them. So All right, so that brings us to our last thing and it is summer melon candy Have we had anything melon flavored in here? I think like maybe like one thing or something Uh refreshing melon candy, which is popular with japanese children during the summer Okay, it looks like melon candy. It's green Obviously not cantaloupe more like a honeydew if it's green Let's get this open. That's very sticky It looks like it kind of like partially melted in here and then like reformed So that's why it's sticky gross Would I be able to pick that smell out as melon?  It's it's very nice. It definitely tastes like a honeydew melon Which is really nice refreshing light flavor and um, yeah, it's really good. That's a very nice candy and once again With all the snacks in here, it's it's sugary, but it's not like over-the-top crazy sugary like they usually are in the us So I appreciate that Um, that's very melon refreshing honeydew melon Driven and I like that. That's very nice.  So Okay, quite good.

This is not a video game. The Army is now using advanced video game-like technology for realistic training. The 86th training division on Fort McCoy, Wisconsin runs several virtual trainers for CSTX-86. We have nine different sites that are simulated base of one form or another. This is one of nine that we are offering. And just to give you an idea of the emphasis that the units have on requesting this, of this entire exercise, just this lane out of six, we will train 50% of all the personnel that go through on this exercise purely just in this lane and on simulations. Let's go squad leader. You got everybody back? Keep moving, keep moving. Let's go. Let's get somebody up on the high ground. Keep moving. You can throw just about anything known to man at them. Their movements can be duplicated. Their effects, their reactions all can be monitored and recorded and it's just a fantastic trainer. I see the potential and it's limitless. And a lot of times it really fits their real-world mission. Reporting from Fort McCoy, Wisconsin for the 3-6-6 MPAD, I'm Army Sergeant Jeremiah Richardson.
