Today we're doing four note-taking questions in under four minutes because I haven't made a whole lot more of these because they're so easy, you don't need to even do five of them. Let me show you how to master these note-taking questions in just a few minutes. Let's start off by looking at the question because we always wanna start by looking at the question, but in the case of note-taking questions, the question is super important. This one says here that the student wants to emphasize Australia's role in Southeast Asian immigration, okay? So I'm looking to focus on Australia and how they relate to Southeast Asian immigration. I'm going to start by looking at the responses, not the notes, okay? The responses will help because I can eliminate responses that don't focus on the topic that the question wants. So looking at my options, the first one here says immigrants from Southeast Asia, that is part of the question, have many options as to where they might go. Australia has positioned itself as the best possible option. Okay, this could be a good response. I'm gonna keep reading a little bit more. B says immigrants often face language barriers and it goes on to explain problems with them. I can already tell that that's wrong. We're not really focusing on the problems immigrants have. We're looking for Australia's role. So I'm gonna eliminate B. With C, immigrants in Australia are well-received, but may choose to move to the United States. Okay, again, right away we just went off topic. We left Australia to focus on things about the United States. I'm gonna say that's wrong. D, D says between Australia's openness towards immigrants and their customs in addition to programs that make it easier for immigrants to settle, it's become a top destination for Southeast Asians. That could also be a great answer. Now, between A and D, which one would I pick? Well, A is very general. It doesn't actually mention specific things from the notes and D is much more specific and I wanna choose the specific answer that uses the notes wherever possible. So knowing that D is a more specific answer, all I'm gonna do is try to look for that detail in the notes. Does it say anything about Australia being open towards immigrants and their customs or having programs to support them? And I can search for the word Australia to try to find that information, right? I see here in this note, for example, that it says Australia is more accepting of cultural differences and encourage immigrants to keep many of their customs. Great. So right there, I have two notes that support this answer and that's why we're marking D. Okay, so same strategy. We're gonna look at the question. It says the role of folk religion in African art. So I wanna focus on folk religion in African art. I'm gonna take a look at my answer choices. The first one talks about sculptures and all of these things that they do. That's definitely wrong because it's not focusing on religion. The second one says African art is heavily influenced by folk religion with masks and sculptures representing deities. Okay, this seems like this is probably the right answer because it's connecting the two topics that we're looking for from the question and it seems to be doing a great job of that. Let's just check the other two. C talks about masks being an essential part of religion. That's one aspect, but I feel like it's focusing strictly on the masks and not how religion plays a role in art. D talks about music kind of similar to C where there's a lot of focus on that specific kind of art but not the whole concept of art in general or religion. So just knowing that I can rule out A, C and D, I'm gonna mark B. I didn't even have to look at the notes. Like I can just see that one of those responses is really on topic. All right, the student wants to emphasize the role of cavalry in the Napoleonic Wars. Let's focus on answers that have cavalry in them. The first one says, saw some of the most famous cavalry battles in European history, good start.  Okay, it kind of just focuses on a list of battles and not really the role of cavalry, what the cavalry did in those battles. So I don't like A. B talks about Napoleon's legacy, says that he reformed the army. Okay, we haven't even talked about cavalry yet so I know B is wrong. Look at it, C, Napoleon's military strategy relied heavily on the use of cavalry. He used the mobility of his cavalry. Okay, this is the right answer. It's telling me what the cavalry did. C is the right answer. We don't even need the notes. All right, final question. We have the student wants to emphasize the environmental effects of the Industrial Revolution. If environmental effects are what I want to focus on, let's take a look at our answers. A says the Industrial Revolution in Britain created new job opportunities, improved standards of living, that is wrong. We are not focusing enough on the environment yet. The steam engine and railways greatly improved connectivity but required fossil fuels. Again, focusing on the positive before we get to the environmental part, I just don't think A or B are correct. Cities were more polluted thanks to the transition from agriculture to industry but this got better over time. I feel like this is too narrow. It's just focusing on the cities and I don't think that's the right answer. The last one says the Industrial Revolution in Britain brought with it significant environmental cost. Again, we've linked the two key concepts from the question. Due to the increased use of coal and other resources and it can be said that today's global warming began here. This is definitely the right answer. I can confirm it with the notes. It talks about how this time forward global carbon emissions rose year after year. Note taking questions are super easy, everybody. All you got to do is focus on the answers. Don't even bother reading the notes first. Just look at the answers and pick the one that is most on topic that most focuses on those key concepts or terms that are used in the question. If you're not seeing those ideas from the question in the first couple of lines of the notes, it's probably wrong because it's using off topic information and that's it.


Here are five pieces of relationship advice to enhance, I hope, your Valentine's Day experience. Number one, attention isn't love, it's just attention. Number two, chemistry is not compatibility. You can have all the chemistry in the world, but if you don't get on together, it's not gonna work. Number three, consistency is healthier than spontaneity, especially in a longer-term relationship. Number four, love-bombing is a red flag. So keep your eyes open for that stuff.  Hope that helps. Happy Valentine's, everybody. Let me know your thoughts about these five bits of wisdom in the comments. Cheers, happy Valentine's.


U.S.'s student visa, yes U.S.'s student visa is a very tough for high fees which is not affordable by everyone. J-1 visa, so U.S.A. is your job for further studies, so internship, J-1 visa is internship in U.S.A. you can earn F-1, M-1 and J-1, you can earn M-3, J-1 is the best option in internship program, you can earn almost 70-80,000 per hour, you can earn almost 80,000 per hour, and now your study permit, otherwise if you want to convert your work permit, then this is also possible, so the best part is IIT is the requirement which is almost scary in Gujarati. So for further details, you can contact Prishwish Viswagandh. Thank you very much.


Welcome to our student program session. Today I have with me Mr. Joe Becker, who is the provost of our Mises graduate school. I have Mr. Alex Voss, who is a current student in our Mises graduate program, and then I also have Mr. Anthony Cesario, and he is a current summer fellow, and then last but not least, I'm Felicia as you know throughout the week, and I help with our student programs. I am both the student faculty coordinator and the registrar and student services director of our Mises graduate program. Today we're just gonna give you like brief descriptions of our programs and tell you how to apply for them. And both of our students here are going to share their experiences so that you get hyped up and because I wanna see these applications. So to start with our most important week of the year, Mises University. I hope all of you have had a fantastic week. The biggest highlight of this week is that we bring in our faculty and the students from across the world where you get this one-on-one individualized attention and where you get to learn from the foremost Austrian scholars of our generation. I hope that this week for each of you students has been phenomenal and that you are able to go home with a much more in-depth knowledge than you came here with. Another highlight of Mises University and I hope that each of you go home with is you made some friends. Within libertarianism, it can be a little lonely. Sometimes back at home, we may not have other people that share our values and our intellectual journey, but each one of you here, you guys are in the same boat. And so make some friends, get to know each other and take advantage of this vast alumni network. So the second program that we have is Rothbard Graduate Seminar. This program is specifically tailored to graduate students where you get to learn from, again, our faculty but study the masterworks of Ludwig von Mises and Murray Rothbard. You will focus specifically on books such as Human Action, Man-Economy State, Economic Controversies and more. Throughout the week, if you come for RGS, you'll benefit from lectures and in-depth discussions. Next, we have our summer fellowship program. This program is tailored for students who are in PhD programs or in law school who essentially are graduate students that want to come to the Mises Institute and conduct your own research but then also benefit from our in-house faculty, Dr. Salerno and Dr. Thornton. And one of the highlights of the summer fellowship is you get free housing and a stipend and you get this really fantastic one-on-one attention from the academic vice president, the Dr. Salerno. And another highlight of the fellowship is the camaraderie among fellows.  And you are able to hang out with each other all summer and really build those close relationships. And so that's Mises University, the Rothbard Graduate Seminar and our fellowship and residence program but throughout the year, we also have other Mises Institute events where we offer student scholarships to attend. Generally, they're admission scholarships so just submit that application and we'd love to have you attend. Next are just the whole application process.  So for most of our student applications, that's the process. And so it's, yeah, super easy and we wanna see these applications. And so finally, just in general, we want you guys to come back. Stay connected with the Mises Institute. Yeah, I know we all really love coming here for David Gordon's jokes, but more than that, I would say that as an institution, as Dr. Newman spoke in our commencement speech yesterday, we want to embrace truth. We want to seek it out and speak it and be unwavering about it. So if that's what you want, keep coming back and stay connected with us. So next is Mr. Anthony Cesario. All right, so I've had an amazing week here. I've tried really, really hard to get to meet every single one of you. I'm hoping I've done a pretty good job of that. As you can tell, kind of right off the bat, one of the biggest benefits of Mises University is I'm losing my voice and that's because I've been having so many conversations with so many different people, both here at the event and elsewhere. The one thing I always try to start, because Felicia mentioned Mises University first, the one thing that I always start telling people when they start thinking about Mises U is that even though the whole week is centered around the lectures and it's all about the lectures, they really are a small percentage of the overall experience. Really what you're coming here for, because you could watch the videos online, what you're coming here for are meeting not just the faculty, but the other students. It's really, really amazing to not just have the time after the events, but even the sessions in between the events, those little 15-minute segments, you really have a lot of great opportunities to talk and meet other people. And it's just an amazing experience, as Felicia was saying, to develop those friendships, not just in the present, but also further out, you can stay connected, you can talk after Mises U, come back next year and talk about other stuff like that. In addition to Mises U, I've tried to do it all. I've been to the AERC that they've done. I've done their fellowship in residence, which I'm doing right now over the summer. I've also, because I was a fellow, I was able to do the Rothbard Graduate Seminar. All of these experiences are absolutely amazing. The one thing that I love the Mises Institute for is every single one of their events has student scholarships. Even the supporter summits, where it's like a VIP party for all of the awesome donors, they let students come to that as well.  And the way I think about it is, it doesn't seem like there's enough people who apply or who really know about it. And they're missing out on these incredible opportunities to go travel and meet some of these amazing people. So what I love about the Mises Institute is they really do a good job of taking care of students, of inspiring you guys, of really trying to get you involved in the movement, get you guys connected with the network that we have. And it's just an absolutely amazing experience. I highly recommend coming back. And yeah, it's just, it's absolutely amazing. All right. Some of you may be afraid to apply to these things because you're worried about Felicia, but let me assure you that she's much tougher as a judge in the elevator pitch competition than she is in evaluating some of these applications that come in. She does a great job as our director of student services and as our registrar. And she's working directly with the professors. But let me talk a little bit about the graduate school. I went to my first Mises U back in the late 80s and went on to do other things. But I'm very happy to be working as a provost with this new graduate program. And I'll tell you some of the reasons why I think it's, it's very good. And what sets the program apart from other schools you may, for some foolish reason, think about attending. It's purely Austrian. It's the first and only program in the United States where you get a purely Austrian perspective on every area that we teach. You know, I went to UNLV and I still, you know, with Murray and Hans, but I still had to take quantitative micro and macro with a non-Austrian. Here, everything's Austrian. Another thing is, is that if you want monetary with Dr. Salerno or you want micro with one of the clients, you don't have to move from, you know, you don't have to move from one place to another. The program's entirely online. It's asynchronous. So, you know, even if you're living on the other side of the world, some of you are, but I believe this is being live broadcast. So, for those people, you don't have to get up at three in the morning to attend a lecture. You can do the program completely asynchronously. Even the office hours have a component that'll allow you to participate in office hours asynchronously, even if you're on the other side of the world. So, it's purely Austrian. You're studying with the specialists in each of the Austrian areas. So, monetary with Dr. Salerno, micro with one of the doctors Klein. And never not having to move all around the country to do that like you would if you were in, you know, some traditional graduate school. One of the main benefits, although we don't think it's a main selling point, but it definitely helps, is that the program is heavily supported by some of the same donors that Anthony was talking about. We had to transfer a student from a competing school that charged $900 per credit hour. So, the master's degree was about $30,000, plus books and fees. This program, because of donor support, is less than $5,000 for the entire master's program, and that does include books. It includes all the fees. So, it's a great bargain. Another, somebody see this as a disadvantage, but I was reminded again yesterday why this is an advantage is we don't participate in any of the federal Department of Education stuff. I sat through a two hour continuing legal education class yesterday about the Biden administration's new, what do they call it, borrowed defense rule. This is a rule that's been in existence for a while. I think this is an interesting topic. It's a little bit of a side light, but it definitely relates to what we're doing. Because we don't participate in these programs, we're not subject to regulations that would interfere with what we think is the best way to educate blooming economists. The borrowed defense rule is a rule that allows students who feel like, they took out a federally guaranteed student loan and they feel like they didn't get their money's worth, which should really be a lot of people from a lot of schools to say, I don't wanna pay back my student loan and here's why. But the new rule is really just a way, it turns out, of allowing Biden to sort of get his student loan forgiveness program passed without, through rule making, rather through legislation, because the rules are so one sided against schools that a lot of schools are gonna have a problem, maybe even staying in existence because they no longer have any kind of due process rights under this new proposed rule to even defend themselves against the student's loans being forgiven and then the government comes after the school. And as you can probably imagine, the schools after which the federal government will be coming will not be the harbors and the state schools, it'll be the private schools, the schools that are teaching the things that the federal government doesn't really want you to know. So this is just one simple example that I learned of yesterday for two hours as I try and stay on top of this stuff that we don't have to worry about and you as students don't have to worry about that the school's gonna be shut down by the government because that's their hook into these schools is some of the financing. I guess I can talk a little bit about what we want in students and I probably should just have one of those shirts that says this is what we're looking for in a student and you'll meet Alex here in a second. You know, he's a great student. You met another student yesterday perhaps at graduation. Another very enthusiastic student but what we're looking for in the way of students is those who have ample undergraduate or even graduate courses in economics so they can be conversant in economics, terminology and concepts. The price is low but more important to us is finding people who have a particularized interest in the Austrian school. The donors who support the program wanna know that the students have a plan for what they're gonna do with the education once they get it. We aren't really looking for hobbyists or someone who's just gonna hang a trophy on the wall. Equally important is we're looking for students who understand that this is a commitment. It's about two years the way it works out a little bit less for the overzealous folks or perhaps just zealous folks you saw yesterday but it's 16, 19 hours a week of work. I mean, he may do it unless he'll tell you but it's a time commitment and it's a work commitment so we do want people who are gonna be committed to it. I think what we prepare people for in this program is a lot of different things. I mean, Austrian economics is rigorous analytical thinking that I think prepares people for a lot of things. When I went to law school, for example, after I did the graduate work in economics, some of the upperclassmen told me, well, most people come here to learn to think like lawyers, all you already learned that from your economics program, all you have to do now is memorize the law and I think even memorizing law was much easier having some yardstick by which to measure whether laws were, I could say good laws or bad laws but I might say beneficial to society or not so I had a sort of a yardstick by which to measure and I think that a reference point which made it easier to memorize the law so far so good on the bar exams but the things we think we can prepare people to do is teach, I mean, we have people in the program who are either already teaching or want to be better at teaching high school community colleges, four-year colleges because it is a graduate degree. Policy work, we have someone in the program who is a Hill staffer in Washington DC and helping the legislator for whom he works to be mindful of these kind of policy insights. Entrepreneurs, I guess I'll put in a quick plug for the economics for business program which the Institute has started as a separate project to help entrepreneurs be beneficial or make beneficial use of Austrian principles and thus we're building a network of entrepreneurs and business people who are very interested in what we're creating in the way of the graduate school that's the tie-in. Financial planners, finance investors, estate planning attorneys, public interest attorneys which is what I did, almost every legal argument I made in the constitutional law arena had to do with why I thought, or why not only I but why the constitution had to be interpreted in a free market Austrian style although not by name, you know, in a free market way. So it's a lot of work, it's a challenge, it's rigorous, it's not, you know, when I went to UNLV I thought, oh, they'll be so happy to have like-minded people there that, you know, I'll get good grades just for being there. Well, it didn't work out there with Marion Hans but this program is the same way. It's not enough to just be like-minded, you have to do the work. And I think someone who can test, well, two people can attest to that. Elias worked very hard, got through the program and worked so hard he didn't make it today. If you noticed him on your schedule. But we have Alex who's I think been in the program for, you're about at least halfway through I think, isn't that right? Why don't you share your insights and correct me if I lie to these people? Yeah, so at this point I've just completed my fifth term out of I guess 10 total terms, so about halfway done. I would say at the outset I'm an unabashed advocate of the program, I think it's been great in just about every way for myself. Maybe the way I'll start is just telling you a little bit about what the courses look like and how they work, the structure of them. So there are a couple of exceptions with writing a thesis or Rothbard graduate seminar, but the majority of the coursework is in eight week terms. These are micro, macro, monetary, all of these types of topics. The eight weeks are usually, each week I would say you're probably reading about 150 pages of Rothbard, Mises, DeSoto, things like that. You'll probably get a couple papers from your professor in that class, commenting on some of these topics. You'll probably also have something to submit each week. Five of the eight weeks is generally a discussion post. Those are the I guess relatively lighter weeks but it is a serious product that you have to produce. 500 or 1,000 words, you have to respond to a couple other people and these aren't, in my opinion, very superficial discussion boards that you might have seen in the past. These are very intellectual discussion boards. In addition, you'll take two exams, one in week four usually and one in week eight and then you'll also write a term paper usually 15 to 20 pages. So it really is quite a rigorous amount of work, both in reading but also then analyzing and being able to then produce a product, taking that information and producing it yourself. One of the things I have to admit coming in I was skeptical of is the discussion boards. They've historically not been very helpful in my educational background. I have to say I don't think that's true in this program. It helps you keep pace each week with making sure you can really synthesize what is the key point that Mises is trying to make in this chapter. So I think that those are actually quite helpful. I would say it is a very, you do have to be a bit of an independent minded person. You have to be very self-motivated. You are going to do most of the work by yourself which is probably the right way to do it. You have to read and you have to really think about this stuff. That said, there's absolutely opportunities to collaborate both with instructors as well as your classmates. I know from watching and observing the signal chat you all have no problem communicating with each other electronically. So I think you'll do just fine. And then with instructors, they usually do provide certain time slots that they're available for office hours. They're also available anytime. I've never waited more than a couple of days for a response back and those are usually over the weekends. So you quickly get feedback. You quickly say, we can hop on a call whenever it works for you. The asynchronous thing also helps in my view. I live a reasonably busy life and travel a fair amount but I can download the PDFs of man economy and state and human action on my PDF and I can read it while I'm on a three hour flight across the country. So there are ways to remain productive through the course and they do a really good job of making sure you have everything.  Electronic that's also quite easily accessible. I do agree with all of the professions you said it would be helpful for the one in particular that I think it's really equipped to help with is entrepreneurship. I think that really to me is one of the main differentiators about Austrian economics is the emphasis on the entrepreneur. And I think my interest in Austrian economics has really made me more focused on becoming an entrepreneur. And so I actually do have a little bit of a business and now two of the people that I've met just within the last year that are in my cohort in the program I actually work with now in my business. So I think that's another thing to be aware of that when you're starting a program like this you can absolutely you start a business and work with some of your cohort or they do and they wanna bring you on board. In terms of course instruction it's not a surprise to any of you all you've been here learning from many of the same professors that we have. I had Dr. Peter Klein in micro, Dr. Solano in monetary. I had Dr. Jonathan Newman in macro and then actually just finished up history of economic thought with Dr. Thornton. So you're getting elite instruction in every sense of the word and they're all extremely available as necessary. That said, if you understand everything it's not unnecessary that you spend busy time showing that you understand the material it'll show up in your discussion boards in your work product. So it's one of those things where they're as accessible as you need them to be. I think just the last couple of comments that I'd make is it is an intensive program but it's not challenging in the way you know I went to University of Chicago for undergrad and you'd sometimes get an economics problem set and you just look at it and say I have no idea how to do at least half of this. You won't be in that situation. It's not, it is very challenging but it's not that you just can't get it. It's if you're willing to put in the time, effort and energy for it you can absolutely come away from every course having understood all of it. Thank you and we have a little bit of time left. So if there aren't any questions, please raise your hand. I'm gonna start with Calvin. Okay, so when I came here I had my expectations. So I'm a bio chem major. I made an exercise science communication. So clearly it's diverse in this room. I love Austrian economics. I didn't know much about it. I had a great experience. I learned a lot but for those who are not super into econ and don't wanna do the graduate program is there any way that you suggest for us to get involved if we don't wanna do the graduate program? I would say one of the best ways to get involved and stay involved is keep coming to our Mises Institute events. Like I said, we do have student scholarships but even if you just stay connected you'll never know who you're gonna meet at these events and you very well could meet someone who is well connected in the Liberty Movement who may have a job opportunity. So I would just say take advantage of the connections that you make both here this week but also at different events. And you'll have to be careful because if you keep coming you might eventually become an economist. Yeah. Do you know if there's gonna be like a movement to try to get also a PhD program as well as a master's program? The only thing I would say about that so far is that it's being talked about. So for the graduate program are economic students or graduate students preferred over like a legal, you know, somebody studying law? I can reply that. I studied law in my country. I graduated as a bachelor's in law. I applied for law school in the special program but it's not like law school itself is a master's in law. So that doesn't really mean students are going to be preferred. Econ students are going to be preferred over law students. It just means that the majority of the people who apply to the fellowship are either econ or business students. There are very few law students who apply. But yeah, they're not discriminated by any means. That comment came from our other summer fellow who's helping with the mic. You go. And I would also like to add that what we're really looking for in summer fellowship applications are those that really want to study Austrian economics and benefit from the expertise of our faculty. If you come here for a summer, we have so many resources for you. We have our Massey library with just a fantastic collection of libertarian books and something that you're not gonna find at your university's library. So I think for the fellowship, really the focus is how are you gonna apply Austrian economics to your research, whether you are an econ or whether you're in law. In the case of Hugo, I'm gonna brag on him for a sec. He has written several Misesweyer articles as well as his own research this summer just because he's so passionate about Austrian econ. So any other questions? Home with me? No, I don't think, it's not allowed. Anthony's also gonna add to the last question. Yeah, so just to add as well, it's definitely a very diverse group of people for the fellowship. It was honestly kind of surprising to see how many people were not actually studying economics specifically, but we had a couple of people doing history law and then a couple of other topics as well. So I found that very, very interesting. But as Felicia had mentioned, the biggest thing is being able to come here, you're surrounded by the best library ever. One of the coolest things about being a fellow is we have offices up on the second level where we're doors down from Joseph Solerno, from Mark Thornton, and from Joe Becker, all right next to us all day long. They've got open door policies. We can talk to them, ask questions about our research. It makes us feel spoiled. And it's a great experience like that. And then as Felicia had mentioned earlier, the scholarship aspect of it is amazing. And then there's also a whole other element of being able to build that network and be able to branch out from that with all the camaraderie and all the friendships and everything that you develop as well. So I highly recommend it. The one of the ways I think about the Mises Institute is they kind of get you here, you come for the lectures, you come here for the Austrian econ, but you stay for the community. They do a really good job of building a great community here for everyone. We have time for one more. So for the more business oriented students here, what are kind of the pros and cons of going to this master's program instead of an MBA? Since Austrian economics is probably my response to that. Really, you just have to think about what you want to do and then match the school that's best suited. And then I guess I'll say it this way, choose the vehicle that's best suited to get you where it is that you want to go. This sort of ties in the last question as well. I think half a dozen of us who studied with Hans at UNLV all became lawyers. He comments about that. Why did all my students become lawyers? But it's a very interdisciplinary school where it's useful in a lot of different things. I really think there are a lot of MBA programs and a lot of MBA graduates. And I think you can sort of separate yourself from that crowd with Austrian economics or even economics generally. You have to look at where you want to work and what you want to do and then weigh whether an MBA is, whether you want to compete against all those other MBA students for the job or what have you. I just think economics is a more rigorous discipline and it makes you stand out. I mean, do you have any comment about this, Alex? I would say, first of all, I do have another master's degree in finance. That was very much practitioner oriented if you wanted to go into investment banking or mutual fund management, hedge fund management. That was very much tailored for that. I would also say that the level of rigorous thinking is orders of magnitude lower in that type of program than in an Austrian economics program. So I think it sort of matters about exactly what you'd like to get out of it. If you want the stamp of approval that you're a practitioner in finance, maybe that is a better option, but it's going to be a way more expensive. It's going to come with a big opportunity cost as well. Most of them, unless you're going to do the evenings or the weekend program, which my understanding, and then I would say it parallels my experience, is that more or less the reason to go get an MBA is they'll teach you how to be a practitioner and then you network with a bunch of other people that are also making a major investment. And there can be benefits to that, but I think there's a lot more considered thinking a much lower cost and a much lower opportunity cost to trying this program. I also just want to add and maybe end on this note is that your time is scarce, right? As you've learned in the Austrian core this week that we don't have unlimited time.  And we hope that you would consider us a great resource and hopefully even more than that, the place to learn about Austrian economics. I think that's something that I can safely brag about, which is we are unique and as an institution and I mean, we are where you're gonna come for the foremost scholars. So definitely take advantage of what, of all these different programs, Mises University, Rothbard Graduate Seminar, our fellowships, our graduate school because they are so important and because our donors want you here, right? They have spent their hard-earned dollars to finance these programs because they believe in everything, they believe in you and they believe that each one of you here, you are the next generation of libertarian and Austrian economists and that is so precious. So thank you.


I'm Corporal Remington Hall, and this is The Core Report. This week we start off our show with not one badass, but two. Petty Officer's second class Alejandro Salabaria was awarded the Silver Star for actions as a corpsman with Marine Special Operations Command during Operation Enduring Freedom in 2014. Salabaria advanced to an injured corpsman in the middle of a firefight and literally covered him while returning fire until his shooting stopped. And Staff Sergeant Nathan Hervey was awarded the Bronze Star with Valor for actions as a scout sniper during Operation Enduring Freedom in 2011. Hervey's squad was caught in a firefight while performing surveillance in Helmand Province. He led his snipers through dangerous territory to an advantageous firing position and suppressed the enemy until reinforcements arrived. Pura, gentlemen. The CH-53K King Stallion is currently undergoing developmental testing and is scheduled to join the Fleet Marine Force in 2019. The King Stallion is set to replace the CH-53E Super Stallion. Although they look the same, the King Stallion's larger frame allows it to internally carry a Humvee and its new triple turbine engines boast 50 percent more power than the Echo, giving it a top speed of 200 knots and allowing it to carry more weight than a semi-truck. There has been a steady increase in the number of reported cases of the Zika virus. The medical officer of the Marine Corps has advised some protective measures. Marines, the Zika virus is an emerging threat. Those who plan to travel to affected areas need to be aware of its risks and the protective measures. These precautions are especially important to those who are pregnant or may become pregnant. Your health is our mission. Simple for daylight. Be sure to watch the full video with the link in the description. There's more to it than just changing your socks and taking Motrin. Commandant of the Marine Corps General Robert Kneller has issued an update to the motion requirements. Now, instead of 8 months time and grade within quarter for Lance Corporal to Corporal and 12 months time and grade within quarter for Corporal to Sergeant, it's 12 months time and grade regardless of quarter for both. I wouldn't advise using those extra few months to keep procrastinating to Corporal's course. That's all for this week. Thanks for watching everyone and we'll see you next payday right here on the Core Report.


Men's hockey beginning their season with an exhibition contest against Lakehead. Second period beavers up 1-0. Ross Armour's shot gets blocked, stays with the play, swings it out to Hampus Yodel. Barry's the one-timer in the open corner, they go up by two. Just over a minute later, another one-timer goal. Brennan Harris hits Charlie Combs top shelf and they lead 3-0. In the second beavers killing a power play, Harris breaking out of his own zone. Speeds by a man, deeks out another. Backhand roof, that's a scorer's goal. BSU cruises to a 5-1 win. Games to count starting on Friday with UND.


always remember folks whatever you think about you bring about whatever you focus on grow so that was having a great day safety to make it a great night folks and uh... happy veterans day to everyone out there to make it a great one and i would i want to put a really good shout out to everyone that was in the coast guard you know the coast guard folks uh... that's an all services a great the bottom line of the coast guard though is every single day man all of us even in the united states if you're on the water you know how valuable they are they're huge to do a great on a work bottom line must look at some of them all always do your best but don't overdo when you overdo you deplete your body and you go against yourself and i'll take longer to accomplish your goals my eyes let's take a look at it out here we have the dow industry was right now down one thirty four nasdaq up ninety three s&p's up four and a half gold contract up fifteen eighty trading at eighteen sixty four you get the silver market up fifty three cents twenty five dollars thirty one cents an ounce late sweet crude flat eighty one dollars twenty four cents a barrel notes and bonds the ten year note down fourteen at one thirty oh nine the thirty also down fourteen ticks at one sixty one twenty two and king dollar king dollar is trading up three hundred thirty five ticks at ninety five one eighty five yours at one fourteen yes that one one fourteen and the british pounds at one thirty three to one u.s. dollar our phone numbers eight seven seven nine two seven six six four eight it's called folks i know it's going on your world the world of the s&p's let's take a look at them what do you have well the bottom line is you get a sideways market here you get light volume get the spy trading out uh... up sixty one cents you get twenty five million shares we went downtown yesterday you get downtown with uh... sixty nine million shares so that will at least get tested i suspect we're going to do a small u-turn here folks that being said my takes me going to get back to highs to that's that's how this they seem to be shaken up and so uh... it's going to be intriguing watching this whole thing you gotta remember something that between thanks given a christmas man uh... the bottom line is a million reasons why this market can go up uh... most of them being buying and the x one hundred that came down hard yesterday that came down fifty four million shares you go sideways today with twenty four million shares that looks to me like this that that does want to get down somewhere into the uh... three or three eighty ninety right now three eighty two uh... is game the beginning of the block the breakout area the breakout area forty seven million shares traded you know so what we had done is this tuesday you go down and we went down with fifty million shares yesterday did fifty four but if you're bold what you want to see is this you want to see this baby get right if you want to get actually get out at least test the lows of yesterday because if you get out for five days in a row you can see the volume contract pretty quickly that's that's how that's how markets work gold gold contract continues to get a bit out here we have the gold contract hit uh... eighteen sixty eight right now you're eighteen sixty four uh... this baby wants to go to the top of its range that's nineteen twenty two uh... and most times when this happens folks okay it happens pretty quickly i'll show you something when we bring up the continuous contract might take is actually this runs going to actually go to twenty five hundred so you bring up this contract what you're gonna see is that you're in a large a bc structure now it is a potential structure is no doubt about that but it's a beauty man i mean the bottom line is that when you take a look at this on a monthly basis we built cars going all the way back to june of twenty twenty that's how this baby set up uh... and it's absolutely not a stretch that you would get twenty five hundred the reason i'm saying that also is this folks what i've seen is this everything that i am doing on and i'm sure if he's to keep your numbers whenever you're buying something it seems to me that everything is approximately thirty percent and gold keeps up with inflation that's the bottom line yet it can lag you know sometimes a lake for two or three years but the bottom line it keeps up with it the last high that we had gold uh... two thousand sixty three bottom line you know you put thirty percent on top of that when you got i mean it's pretty it's pretty quick uh... twenty five hundred a game and that i'm just i'm just saying that in a totally verses technically this is set this is a potential a bc structure in the way up and that's how it is set up we take a look at some of the higher volume equities out here today and you have uh... let's see uh... rivian uh... let's say that's a nineteen bucks is trading a hundred and twenty you got so-fi technology they come out with numbers last night that's up to dollars forty cents a twenty two eighty uh... let's see disney's down twelve bucks they come out with numbers market doesn't like what they had what they're doing that's for sure it's not twelve bucks it's in the bottom level go over it you get open to a technology that's up to sixty two trading twenty two fourteen uh... freeport mac moran that's a break out that's an a bc structure up let's go look at that because i know a lot of targets have this one so if we take a look at freeport mac moran you got an a bc structure on the way up it's a clean a bc you'd be point out here let me see almost forty bucks recall all this is holy cow it's a ten-buck i'm gonna say nine that's forty five bucks forty five okay so this is pretty cool so if you if you take a look folks at all these medals all these medals like freeport mac moran that wants to go up to june first that they're all going to june first that's where that that's where that baby wants to go okay you take a look at the x a u the h u i you can bring them all up and i mean they're all a bc structures on the way up uh... let's start with the h u i and c cuz we're gonna look at what kind of volume we got yesterday and i suspect they're all a bc structures on the way up they look at this oh my god you're gonna love it so the b point on the h u i was twenty million right we got thirty million uh... the b point volume was b point two sixty seven eighty two two twenty four thirty four forty four fifty four sixty four seventy four sixty four forty five forty five approximately two ninety your two seventy six two seventy six two nineties the a to b equal c to d uh... on the x a u if we take a look at the uh... h u i will hear let's go look at uh... s c c o for a couple of tags out here this is the largest copper company in the world and this is catching a bid okay it's a three seventy one that is has high volume high at sixty six on ninety you got game up there what's happening folks is that you know if you have the out of time in the trade these are classics you know you go up with volume to pull back with light volume and and then they go with volume again so you don't have the book go to amazon folks said there folks come right back


Hey everyone, welcome back to the Nintendo Prime and we've got news for you! But first, I gotta tell you about a giveaway we have going on. You know, we're giving away a $300 item back here on the wall. You see that, though? See this? That's mine. Now yours's mine. This is yours, though. See, this is the package right here. See, it's already ready to go, fragile. So fragile, don't worry, it survived. Yes, you can go down to the pinned comment or description to enter. Every day we have a new code in our videos that you get 20 extra entries. Oh, but wait a second, I'm not done with giveaways because if you're a new subscriber this month and only this month, one of our new subscribers in the month of August is gonna get a $20 eShop gift card. So go ahead and hit that subscribe button and let's get into today's news. So we all know that tomorrow there's gonna be a Splatoon 3 Direct, but you know what's really, really funny about that? Nintendo almost leaked the Direct today.  So the UK, Australia, and Belgium all had their live stream set for today and it got to the point that the 10 minute countdown timer was going and it was live. All of these streams got shut down at around three minutes and 34 seconds left on the timer, but if Nintendo hadn't gotten to one of those streams in that timeframe, the Splatoon Direct would have actually started and information would have leaked out directly from Nintendo. Talk about a big oopsie, several places clicking on the wrong spot on the back end, selecting the wrong date. This can happen. It happens when I'm scheduling streams as well, but you would figure there would be checks and double checks and triple checks for a Direct, but hey, they did catch it. The streams will come back up tomorrow. Kind of funny, but what are you gonna do? At least they caught it, but it's really cool I guess see that even Nintendo sometimes can make flubs like this. Our next story is about a major game that's a third party multi-platform game coming to Switch being delayed. And we're talking about Marvel's Midnight Sons, but this delay comes with new news for the Nintendo Switch version that's extremely unfortunate. So you know what? Let's get to their exact words. We have an important update to share regarding our launch date for Marvel's Midnight Sons. After discussion with the team, we've made the decision to move back the launch timing of Marvel's Midnight Sons to ensure we are delivering the best possible experience for our fans. We will launch later this fiscal year on Windows PC, Xbox Series X slash S and PlayStation 5 with the Xbox One, PlayStation 4 and Nintendo Switch versions following at a later date. We know fans are looking forward to playing Marvel's Midnight Sons and we will use this extra time to make sure we are delivering the best possible experience for everyone. Marvel's Midnight Sons is easily the biggest game we've ever made and we're incredibly appreciative of all the support players have shared with us throughout the years. Thank you and this comes from Marvel's Midnight Sons team. And in case you guys remember, Marvel's Midnight Sons is being made by Fire Axis and this would be the largest game Fire Axis themselves have ever made. Not the largest that their publisher, 2K, take two is made, but the largest that Fire Axis themselves has made. This is unfortunate news because it's not just the Switch version. It's Xbox One and PlayStation 4 as well being delayed to a later date. So while, yes, it looks like at some point by the end of December, Marvel Midnight Sons will be coming out on next gen. It's the older hardware consoles that are seeing a massive delay into 2023. And it's just unfortunate. Granted, Switch isn't being treated differently this time than Xbox One and PlayStation 4 but Switch is still a current platform. Xbox One and PlayStation 4 are not current platforms. They are officially platforms that have been replaced. Switch hasn't. So seeing Switch bundled in with them is unfortunate. And it is also something that us Switch owners have become very accustomed to. So many multi-platform third-party games will come out on other systems first, Switch later. It's just, even when they're announced at the same time, like Gollum was announced and now, hey look, the Switch version of Gollum is gonna be coming at a later time. Wouldn't be surprised that this also happens with the Harry Potter game. It's just, I hate that there seems to be a de-emphasis on the Switch version. The system with 111 million install bays seems kind of important to me that you might wanna prioritize that a little bit. You can see when Lego, Star Wars, Skywalker, Saga prioritize the Switch version and end up selling extremely well on Switch. So maybe treating the audience with a bit more respect with your release would be a better choice here. But, hey, I just think Fire Access and the studios that make these decisions just don't think the sales on Switch justify delaying everything or focusing on the Switch version. So the best made games for Switch are the ones that are given the proper attention. If you wanna actually give some credit, remember Mortal Kombat 11, day and date on Switch, ran great on Switch, sold well because of it. So yeah, there are plenty of examples out there of companies, in my opinion, doing it right versus companies that are like, hey, let's just delay this for the platform that's most popular just because we don't think it's gonna sell that well on that platform. If that's the case, just don't bring it over. I don't know, that's just my thought. Some people are gonna disagree with that. So an interesting bug. Is it a bug? Is it a glitch? I'm not really sure. Came up with Nintendo Switch's UI from a Go Nintendo user named David. Now have you ever wondered if there's actually an upper limit to how many games you can have on your Nintendo Switch? I mean, we generally think the upper limit is how big of a micro SD card do you have? Do you have a one terabyte micro SD card? And you just fill it all the way up, right? That's the upper limit then. But the thing is, what if I were to tell you that just like there's a limit to how many friends you can put on your friends list, there's actually a limit to how many games the Nintendo Switch UI can actually display? David actually ran into this problem where he now owns over 2,000 games for Nintendo Switch. And whether those games are physical or digital is sort of irrelevant, because we're actually talking about the icons for those games. Once you put that 2001 game, 2002, 2003, so that once you get above 2,000, icons start randomly disappearing from your UI. It could be physical icons, it could be digital icons, it could be recently played games, or it could be games you haven't touched in years. There doesn't seem to be a rhyme or reason to how the Switch picks out what icons to remove.  That's really weird. So he obviously goes and he checks his data. No, all the data, save data, and install data is there. So the game is still there on Switch. It's just not displaying in the UI. And the fix to this is, well, you know, go archive some games, right? You archive games, you get below 2,000, and then those icons that vanished come back. So, yeah, it is an interesting bug and a weird limitation in the Switch's UI. I also think at the time that they were making the UI, Nintendo couldn't even imagine somebody adding 2,000 plus games to their Switch without archiving, because obviously archiving is how you create space. Really, really interesting that this is a supposed bug? I mean, is it a bug? I guess we call it a bug, right? A glitch? It's something. Now that this has happened and might start happening to more users moving forward that happen to own that many games, I know for a lot of you it's hard to imagine 2,000 games. I'm sure there's a lot of indie games in there. You know, I wonder if Nintendo will eventually release a patch that will address this because it doesn't seem to matter if you organize them in folders. Like, hey, they have folders, so just put your games in folders. So maybe they disappear from the overall list, but they'll still appear in the folders. No, they just vanish from the system entirely. Yeah, Nintendo will probably patch this or maybe they won't because it's such an isolated incident. It's such a rarity. Very few people will ever see this bug so they might not prioritize it. But I have to imagine it's probably just a few lines of code in the UI. They need to be altered. There probably isn't overall 2,000 icon limiter in place that they could just increase to 9,000 or something crazy because the person that even with all those icons the Switch doesn't slow down or anything. So it's not a matter of the Switch handling it. For those who don't know, the Switch also deloads icons as you're scrolling when you have hundreds and hundreds of games. It'll deload icons that are on your screen. So that's why it doesn't really matter how many icons you have. So yeah, I think Nintendo will probably patch this. So today there was a little bit of a Monster Hunter event for Monster Hunter Rise Sunbreak, that DLC that came out, and it talked about a free update. So they gave us some new footage and I'm gonna get into all the little details here. So enjoy watching the trailer. And in there we see there's gonna be a free title update one, version 11. Weekly event quests are gonna be starting on August 18th. A complete event quest to gain exclusive rewards. There's gonna be additional paid DLC, new afflicted monsters, a new system called Anomaly Investigations, which increases the quest level to take on more powerful monsters. Quest details are determined at random and there's a new upgrade system too. Monster Hunter Rise Sunbreak version 11, free update title one releases on August 10th. So tomorrow, four new monsters. Lucent, Nargukuga, Seething, Basilgees, Silver, Rathalos, and Gold, Raytheon. Quests unlock after you reach Master Rank 10. The armor you can forge from the materials of the monsters is added in version 11. All come with new skills. There's Anomaly quest detailed. And version 11 expands Anomaly Research quest. Four new elements are added and Anomaly Investigations are detailed. And then they give an overview here where the added story elements to the game are gonna be new monsters, new afflicted monsters, new quests, new quest system, a new locale forlorn arena, new weapon trees, armor, and later in armor, new skills, a new facility called the Anomaly Research Lab. And you can now enhance your gear via the courious crafting at the Smithy. They added new system elements, including new guild card pages, awards, and titles. You can now display a badge of heroes next to your hunter's name. They added new Hunter Connect invite settings and other miscellaneous bug fixes. And then for the paid DLC, you get face paint slash makeup, Milazano menace and single stroke cheek. You get a new hairstyles called Spiribird Edge and Fiorene Short. You get a new Hunter voice in Fiorene and Galleus. You get a new sticker set called the Special Stickers 10 and you get new BGM called Monster and title music, piano, version, and Monster Hunter series, bases part two. So this is obviously a lot of content being added and they're gonna continue to add content as the DLC continues to roll out. I obviously find this to be really, really cool and I'm glad to see such an amazing game on Switch and PC getting these kind of updates moving forward. I love seeing continued updates for games both in terms of free content. And then if you bought the DLC, you know, the DLC add additions as well. This is really good stuff and kudos on Capcom, I think for actually showing the right way to do DLC. So our last story for today is more of a, thank you, Mike Odyssey. Thanks to Mike Odyssey, one of the co-hosts of the Nintendo Prime podcast. He actually put out a video today as well talking about various pieces of news, different news than I talked about, so you should go check it out. And in that video, he talks about Nintendo Directs and it's not because there's a new rumor, a new leak, a new anything, but because there seems to be this narrative coming up that you know what, with what Nintendo's doing with the Splatoon 3 Direct, with the Xenoblade Direct, with the partner showcase, with the Splatoon 3 OLED drop, with the way they announced Kirby Dream Buffet, with the way they dropped the release date of October 28th for Bayonetta 3. Like all of this stuff happening that Nintendo just no longer needs Directs and no longer will do Directs. And he brought up a very interesting point and it's one that I think it's overlooked by many and that is really simple. We just don't have all this information that would have been in a Direct, in a Direct because there was no E3. And I know what you're saying, Nintendo shouldn't care about E3, except when there was no E3 at all in 2020, Nintendo did the same thing. When there was no E3 this year in any form, Nintendo did the same thing. When there was an E3 last year, as crappy as that E3 was, Nintendo showed up and did a Direct. So it is more likely than not that there probably will be a brand new General Nintendo Direct, if not in September, at least before the end of this year, and probably one early next year around February or March as well. And you might go, well, what's your proof of this? It's just history. That's really it. We're just looking at the history of Nintendo. Now, some people thought because the Splatoon 3 Direct is happening, oh my gosh, we can't have a General Direct in September. Splatoon 3 was never gonna be part of a General Direct in September. Directs usually happen in the middle of the month and Splatoon 3 comes out September 9th. So the only reason that they would even mention Splatoon 3 in this Direct would be because they were gonna be talking about future content coming to the game, not because they needed to talk about the game before launch. There was always gonna be a dedicated event for Splatoon 3, like there was for Xenoblade, like there will be for Breath of the Wild 2 as well. Nintendo does dedicated Directs for their biggest games. They've been doing this consistently for a decade. So I don't know why people think that's a precursor to not doing a General Direct because you know what they still need to talk about? They still need to talk about Advance Wars, Splatoon 3, Breath of the Wild 2, Metroid Prime, maybe even a remaster or something else coming this holiday. Oh, and you know, by the way, they also need to talk about 2023 games. Nintendo always uses the September Direct to not only re-advertise what's still coming the rest of the year, they also use it to actually let you know, hey, you know what? We still have stuff happening next year. So buy a Switch this holiday and be excited for what's to come. That's what the September Direct is all about. It's always been about enticing you to buy now because look at the amazing things you can play at the moment, but also what you can be able to play next year. So unless they have nothing coming next year, which we already know they have Breath of the Wild 2 at minimum, likely Advance Wars 1 plus 2 reboot camp as well, but definitely Breath of the Wild 2, they're gonna keep wanting to sell you that you should buy a Switch now confidently. So yeah, September Direct probably going to happen. You know, you can give Mike Odyssey credit for it if it does, because he's saying it definitely will happen. I'm just saying that it probably will. And you know what? If there's an E3 next year, like they're promising, you know, read Pop Run in the show, then Nintendo will probably be there and they'll probably be at a June Direct next year. I'll say confidently because Nintendo has yet to show that they won't support the ESA and support E3 because every time there's been one, they're there. They're the only company that has been wildly consistent about the things they say about the ESA and E3 and that is if there is one, we'll be there. If there's not, we're gonna do something different. So anyways, folks, thank you so much for tuning in. I am with Andrew Robojets from Nintendo Prime and you know what? I'm gonna catch all of you in the next video.


14 gold shovels broke ground for the new home of the Watermark Art Center in Bemidji. Josh Peterson was there and shows us what it will take to transform an old supermarket into an art gallery. It was a day that has been many years in the making. Friends and supporters of the Watermark Art Center gathered today at 505 Bemidji Avenue North to officially kick off the construction of the gallery's new home. Something that is expected to make Bemidji a destination for the arts. This is really proof that we are a place that we are a distinct place and a destination for the arts throughout the state of Minnesota. The Watermark new building kind of proves that point. The structure that the Watermark will call home was a fixture in the downtown Bemidji community for years. The building was home to the former downtown Lukens grocery store. Now that transition begins from supermarket to art gallery. Bones of this building are good. They're here and we can build off of them. The roof is intact. So, you know, we've actually got things in place to move it along well. For Bemidji based Zeta Construction, working on a project like this is an honor. It is truly gonna be a torchlight to Bemidji from the north and south from Paul Bunyan Drive. We're gonna be able, it's gonna showcase through the windows and the lighting, you know, the artistry of this community. So I'm proud, you know, to be part of it and our whole staff is. The project is already on a tight schedule with a grand opening expected to happen sometime this October. However, there is still plenty of work that remains to be done when it comes to fundraising. The goal is $3 million and we're currently at 73% with a 2.1 million over 2.1 million raised. So we do have work to do. In Bemidji, Josh Peterson, Lakeland News. If you would like to contribute to the Watermark Arts Center project, we've posted a link on our website at lptv.org slash news. If you've enjoyed this segment of Lakeland News, please consider making a tax deductible contribution to Lakeland Public Television.

He's who's the one I'm most excited to see if he's down here I would imagine he hangs out at Fishman Island and he talked about he said he would see them here And also it needs defending now the white beards gone Where's everybody else now? Where's hot John too? She got a nice house a nice crib. Oh, dude. There's like water right there. Wait. This is sick She sleeps in a clam, too Like different houses or what Hey, what they get somewhere by who the bone The robot in the green one Saudi, what are you saying, bro? Oh Then she say would warm them up. There's no way they're doing the NL face Oh The clothes so are these like camey's children or what's helpers the mermaid cafe. Oh No, oh no It's like disabling how bad Sanji's gotten man, I hope there's some cocoa row types down here, baby Come on. We got like a sister or something we could work with This is like the same angle what he loved Baratier Oh my gosh, whoa They're kind of teasing us. They haven't shown like an overview of of Fishman Island. Maybe we're gonna start to get one though Dang, so rent is cheap Are you poor and pop a goo? Yeah? Oh, no Okay, so he's a different part of town a rough area. Where is pop a goo? There's really Way beyond my means well if he can afford it wouldn't yeah, this doesn't make sense camey Bubble craftsman, huh? I like getting to see and discover how different every island is Whoa, that's sick Yeah, wait, what is it like in a bubble I'm guessing oh No, oh no, oh no No, he's like this is better than finding the all-blue sea. Oh my gosh Hold it together hold it together This is how I thought he would react to the all-blue sea, but now it's just women This is my oh, it's not the all-blue. My god the horniest human alive Don't touch him. Don't touch him. He's gonna overload Ma'am keep your distance.  Oh the fishman district Noah. Oh wait Noah. That's what they said those guys said they were going Oh, yeah, oh that it has to be the boss. Is that a dog? Yo his voice Yo, he's a unit He kind of looks like our long low key I mean good luck bringing Luffy there, bro But they're gonna go there anyways considering they're going to look for hot John But I'm very curious as to where the rest of the crew went 528. Let's go Yeah, how big is Fishman Island like how far away is that the fishman district from where they are I mean this place that they're at like the mermaid cove seems super chill Is that Nami's top? Oh, deal a smear I have the balance out songies horniness. I will behave myself. That's gotta be Frankie gotta be or brook running There you go. There you go. It was one of the two. He's holding someone. Oh Robin Look at his mohawk. Oh sick. I had a boy Frankie Yeah, this looks like it's close to the mermaid cove at least Where's sunny though, I'm kind of worried about that like I said though imagine Mary here, bro It would be in pieces. That's a piece brave soldier. Oh my gosh This is paradise, bro. It's just him and mermaids. He's never going to want to leave. Yeah It's not the same camey And she's blood type is rare Jim bae Jim bae princess Yes, sir the goat baby boss Yeah, dude Luffy so big time now man did Jim they really did carry Luffy there's so much of a marine board Yeah, he did say you would meet him here I want to know how big of a deal Jim bae is in Fishman Island too. I imagine he's the biggest deal He's a Fishman warlord was oh He isn't here damn Oh, that's why there's the new Fishman pirates it's what formed after Jimmy left We're a lot of effects on this island yeah, like intruders I'm guessing it seems like these new Fishman pirates are kind of corrupt There's a mermaid princess, too How else are we supposed to come in bro really? Thank you. I assumed for some reason that Fishman Island would just be like super safe and welcoming You go pal. Whoa. Oh This is dramatic. Oh This is dramatic Tune three brothers Okay, it's three princes and then a mermaid princess What is happening? Where did she just put him? For the fishman island sniff sniff is getting action man. Why would she pull him in like that? First son Fuka boshi shirt. Oh, yo, he looks kind of sick Rio boshi or fish I'm not me Redo Oh Man boshi boy We just went from the top and just step down and then step down the first guy actually looks kind of intimidating but the others who are So they all love the princes trying to figure out like the social dynamic here. Oh Well, well, well look who it is. What is that with them? Is that a squirrel fish? Okay, so the new Fishman don't like the the royal family Still kind of trying to figure it out He seems like the like adult responsible brother and the other two just follow him my goodness Oh, no, oh, no dog You can't be serious He's gonna pass out the fact that this is actually like endangering them now with his horniness My god Ammo Knights, I mean these guys can try their best if they want to They ain't taking Luffy. I like how they actually brought up though. That's Sanji has some rare blood He's like, yeah, I wouldn't be able to do a transfusion.  So these guys are Neptune's army So is there a Neptune I'm guessing and then the three princes and then a mermaid princess under him Yeah, the new Fishman pirates seem like a like a small gang organization basically with a leader that's in the dark Our friend is dying.  That's not a real blood type. No, actually Oh, they're desperate. Oh, okay, cool. I figured I mean blood is blood. You just need the right type New laugh alert new laugh At least actually stopping in Oh, he laughs like hama hama. Oh my god. Hammond hama. Jeez louis man Punishment of the dark night from human haters. What? This is an organization that just hates humans What that's so specific Oh wait what The humans started it The one that uh boas told him about right? That's that's that's who she like freed a bunch of people Oh shoot And leave oh Oh, yeah, that's why the boss asked him to bring him 40 Jones We got a name drop of the leader of the new fish pirates It's like fishism or racism from humans to fishmen have created these laws You're still not you're gonna stand a chance against louis. I'm sorry bud Oh wait, they're fast. Wait. No, he hit them. Was that hockey energy that he smacked them with? Oh, no, louis gonna flex man. Oh, no, dude. He's so OP now That's what they got. Wait did camey just like yoink their ship? No way Jigashat camey. Holy Oh, there's humans. Oh So there are humans in fishmen like like island though interesting at least the entirety of like this island It's like split up to separate parts, but there's also air They don't constantly have to be in like a bubble and they just yoink this like palace thing It camey is fearless man Although these princes seem pretty chill It's like said it's a rare blood type though Letcherous feelings He's such a freak bro. Jesus man Yeah, it already did kind of uh So that seed I imagine a lot of fish people feel the same way it's told about humans though Somebody's standing in the Voyager's way. Yeah, it's the new fishmen pirates. Somebody powerful is up to something mysterious Oh, yeah, I didn't think about that. They'd be in trouble. They're just so nice Who's so out camey That one's like a liking to saunji Oh Looking for for another reason like a good reason Jinbe no Tengon mo Oh no Maybe jimbe like wanted to warn them Okay, so it seems that maybe neptune neptune's army and even the princes aren't in opposition Why didn't he just say something but they had that whole standoff and everything Lovie was begging for blood and they just stood there saying they were gonna take them in but now it seems like he's like Switching up. It's very bizarre, but okay now. We're getting a better look We're kind of seeing different dynamics that are working in fishmen island Seeing this this sort of opposition. I I kind of got an idea with this new fishmen pirates and jimbe leading with the old ones I'm guessing that this these new fishmen poets and who's their leader hordy jones Quite the name probably have this new mindset or like trying to instill this resurgence of our longs mindset of the Supremacy of like fishmen and how they should just stomp anybody else that isn't a fishman But it's also drawing back to the fact that a lot of laws set in place were set placed by humans originally too It's a very interesting dynamic and I think we're gonna just gonna be like one of the main themes throughout all of this or whatever goes down But guys that's been it for episodes 527 528 my one piece watch through drop us up on the channel if you're new And I'll catch you in the next one. Peace peace


Hi, my name is Nula O'Leary and I'm product owner for NCBI Datasets and in this video, my colleague Adam Stein, the curator at SRA, and I are going to introduce you to the latest updates for accessing NCBI data within Galaxy. So, for my part, I will explain what is the Datasets project, it's a new project and may not be known to a lot of people, and talk about how Datasets is partnering with Galaxy to get access to NCBI data. And then I'll pass it to Adam who will talk about the latest on SRA and Galaxy. So, what is it exactly is Datasets. Datasets is not actually a database, it's a resource for creating user-friendly web and programmatic access to the sequence data across NCBI. We're a new project and we're just starting out and our current scope right now includes genomes, genes, so these are mostly the reference genomes and the reference gene annotations, and a SARS-CoV-2 dataset and you can access these through our website and I have the URL for our landing page here. So, how exactly are we making this easier for users? Well, we've created a genome service where you can just come to the NCBI homepage or to the Datasets landing page and you can search by the organism that you're interested in. In this case, I'm showing a rapid opus. You search for that organism, a box will come up and it will show you how you can link over to browse for all the genomes that are available for that genus. This will take you to a table and then within that table you can select the genome assembly that you want. You can also filter it down by several properties. Once you've selected the dataset that you want, you can select the download button and it will give you choices. So, a genome dataset is a complex set. It has sequence, it has annotation and files in different formats. So, you can select the file format that you need and download the data. So, how are we partnering with Galaxy? And this is a new partnership. We are not out yet, it's coming soon. So, what we are developing is within that genome table, you will have the option to select send the Galaxy button. So, you can pick the annotation or sequence file that you need and send those to Galaxy. You can also select these assemblies from within Galaxy. Using the through and get data, there will be options for NCBI datasets and within there you'll be able to search for the assemblies that you need. And how does this connect to SRA? Well, now you'll have a way to get the latest reference genomes directly from NCBI. So, it will be the newest files and the latest annotations. And if you need to do an RNA-seq alignment to the reference genome, you'll be able to get that newest reference genome directly within Galaxy or through NCBI and send to Galaxy. So, now I'll pass over to Adam. Thanks, Nolil. For any of you that are unfamiliar with the sequence read archive, we have 23 petabases of open access data and that number is constantly growing. All of it is available for download either directly from NCBI or within commercial cloud providers of Amazon and Google. Galaxy has been using the Amazon cloud resource to provide data to users since about February of this year and it has shown improvements in speed and reliability. There are a couple of different ways that you can actually get the data from SRA into Galaxy for work. We have a button within the computing column on the upper right hand side of the SRA run selector that will allow you to send your runs into Galaxy. Or alternatively, if you are in the Galaxy tool itself, within the tools section, you can use get data and either download in specific formats or search for data to get these accessions. There is a step-by-step tutorial available on YouTube. If you search for SRA Galaxy, you should get it. It's run by the Galaxy team and it was very informative. If you signed up for the GCC training track this year, you can see a tutorial on using the new SRA Align Read Format or SARF. That does some pretty exciting new things and the file sizes end up being smaller than just the raw data. As well, with a resource this big, one of the most important things is how do you find the things that you're looking for? And one of the ways that we have tried to solve this problem is providing metadata dumps in Amazon Athena and Google BigQuery. It allows users to do SQL-like queries, which can provide some very powerful tools for finding the exact data you're looking for. If you're interested in this tutorial, it's within the science track. It is the advanced NGS analysis and it is done by John Tro from SRA. Thank you very much.
