That took the biggest turn of any TV show I've ever seen. Welcome back to the channel, everybody. For those of you who are new around here, my name is Michael, aka Dr. Cellini, and I am a radiologist in my final year subspecializing in interventional radiology in New York City. On today's video, we are going to be doing something that I haven't done in a very long time, and that is reacting to a medical drama. Today's episode happens to be of the resident, which I haven't seen at all and know nothing about, but I assume it's a very dramatic show revolving around a group of residents. This episode of the resident allegedly has something to do with interventional radiology, which is why I'm going to react to it. It is episode four. Oh wait, what is it? Season four, episode five. Now I normally don't like to do these kind of videos because for one, they are overdone on YouTube. I feel like every YouTube doctor has done at least one reaction video to some medical drama, but since there is interventional radiology involved, and I haven't seen this episode or this series of the resident, I figured I'd give it a try and tell them what you think about it. Let's go.  Season four, episode five, starting now. I think we're at what made a smart decision. We're terrible human consequences. The land on East Chastain. The other hospitals can't possibly. Is this based in Atlanta? I'm from Atlanta. Maybe there, this is like some tie-in with Grady Hospital because they're always trying to shut down Grady Hospital in Atlanta and they have to have it for the whole Atlanta to survive down there and all the sports team and everything. I'll take it to his room. I have bad news and it's time to tell him. If those two guys are residents, I'm confused of what's going to happen to them now that the hospital shuts down. And actually this does happen because there was a hospital in Philadelphia. I forgot which one shut down. Was it Hanuman Hospital? Someone in the comments below told me which hospital shut down and they had to find positions for all the residents that were at that hospital. When that happens, you basically just have to find spots for them at other hospitals to finish out the residency. Pretty crazy, but it does happen rarely. Dr. Pradesh, I'm not blind. I can see everybody being wheeled out of here, but I've got an inoperable AVM on my heart.  Well that's news. He has an inoperable arterial venous fistula in his heart, which is very rare. Curious to see how they're going to treat that. Are you calling the cops? I'm not calling the cops. I'm just calling for help. No, don't. Can you call the cops? So you need to calm down. No, don't, don't, don't, don't, don't, don't. What? What just happened? I mean, that took the biggest turn of any TV show I've ever seen. I was like, this is a slow start. Now we're, now we're in it. Let's go. Peter, you're bleeding. You need sutures. Hold up. Hold up a minute. What is happening here?  She just straight up stapled her arm and that's not going to stop the bleeding. So I believe they call that like a cardiac thump or something. It's obviously not done in normal practice. I've never seen it done because if someone did that to a patient in the hospital, they'd probably arrest me or whoever did it. But sometimes if you pound the chest like that, it can have an effect on the circuit in the heart and restart it. I guess if you don't have a defibrillator, you don't really have much of a choice, so yeah. What are they gonna do? They're going to take her to the OR, probably do an X-Lap large incision, midline incision, open up, try to find out what's bleeding and stop it and also make sure the baby's okay as well. So they clamp the order. That's what you do in a trauma situation where you don't know where the bleeding's come from. They order the main vessel in the body that all the bleeding can come from in the abdomen and then you said there's a renal vein laceration, which they could repair as well. Honestly, they could have just came to IR and we could have fixed that too, but. There's a tear in the IVC as well. I mean, you know, I gotta be honest, he only stabbed her one time. So for there, actually, I believe that. So a right renal vein, liver laceration and a tear in the IVC that's all in the similar location over there on the right side, which was, I think that's where she got stabbed. So it's just probably, yeah, it's probably in that same area. And the good news is that's far away from the uterus. So the baby should be fine. All right, so we have three storylines going here. We have this man with the tracheostomy. We have the pregnant lady who was stabbed and then we have the guy with the heart avian. I can't tell if he's like trying to end his life because he's miserable or I don't know the backstory behind this guy. So it doesn't look like Nick is gonna wake up any time soon. Could be she suffered a catastrophic brain injury in the ER. So she was pulseless, lost a ton of blood, which means her brain may have gotten the oxygenation that it needed during those times. So she could have suffered a stroke or a neurological injury, but you won't know until the patient wakes up if they ever do. This is Kane's idea about Henry.  The question is, do we have an intervisional radiology suite that's still in town? Let's go. I was wondering when we were gonna get into the interventional radiology part of this. I mean, we're like 45 minutes in here. So you target the one one. All right, so we're in the interventional suite. So this is the interventional cardiology. Actually, it's not the interventional radiology suite unfortunately, but we have a catheter. They came from the radial approach. It's coming from above. Catheter is probably in like the left anterior descending artery. So they have a wire down the artery. They have a stent or something over. Can't really tell, but probably not glue yet. Looks like contrast with a whole bunch of stuff in here. I don't know. I don't know what they're doing. It's not positioned properly. This glue can travel to Henry's brain and leave him with a stroke. And by the way, this is actually literally glue or in butylsinoacrelate, which is essentially just like crazy glue. This is the stuff we inject in the vessels.  We just get into the vessel, inject a little like one milliliter or one CC of glue, chase it with a little D5, and it essentially shuts down that blood vessel almost immediately. And you can see the glue cast of that vessel and it works exceptionally well, but there is a big learning curve to use it. As you can see, it is very easy for that glue to go somewhere else in the body and shut down another vessel that you don't want to shut down. So you never put glue in that bit of a syringe. That looks like a three or six CC syringe, maybe a 10 CC syringe. We usually use a one CC syringe and the reason being because we use tenths of CCs to inject glue, because we're talking a very, very small portion of glue is injected to block off these blood vessels. So actually what they may have done is put D5 in the actual catheter to kind of lubricate the catheter, then put a little bit of glue like 0.1 CCs and then chase it with a full syringe of D5 after that to kind of squirt the glue out. You can see the end of the catheter here. I guess that's a catheter, I can't really tell, but this is a glue blob coming out and blocking that vessel, which is likely the AVM. They're making this very dramatic because the first thing they would have done, especially in the OR is make sure this baby is okay. They would have had a fetal heart monitor on that baby this entire time. So they went way two or three days to see if the baby was okay. That would be monitored the entire time. It's very dramatic though. Also just as an aside, I'm sure all the sonographers out there are chomping at bits to say this. Nobody holds the ultrasound probe like this or like this. No, he had it like this I think, just like this. I'm just trying to stand you. No one holds it like that. All right, so hope you all enjoyed this video or this reaction to the resident. Like I said, that was my first time watching it and they did show a little bit of interventional radiology slash interventional cardiology, but beggars can't be choosers. At least they showed our specialty on TV. So I can't be mad at it. Thanks to whoever told me about this episode. I appreciate it. If you have any more episodes or other medical dramas you want me to react to, let me know in the comments below. If you want me to do this again, let me know in the comments below. If you never want me to do this again, also let me know. On that note, make sure you smash that like, subscribe button, follow me on Instagram if you don't already. Turn on post notifications so you are notified when I post a new video, which is usually about once or twice every single week. Well, it's usually twice every week, Wednesday and Sundays. Otherwise, I'll see you all on the next video. Peace.


The legislative council committee is convening this morning to consider whether to continue the long-standing practice of claiming copyright on the Oregon revised statutes. The chair notes that the committee has never claimed copyright over the law itself, but on those materials added by staff in preparing each edition of the ORS. I'd like to ask council to provide a brief explanation, please, for my fellow legislators, as well as those who are in attendance here today at the meeting. Go ahead, please. Thank you, Mr. Chair and members. The materials that you have in front of you have a memo for me explaining the situation, and I'll just briefly summarize that. It has been the direction of the legislative council committee since 1953 to copyright each edition of the ORS that is prepared at the conclusion of the each regular session of the legislative assembly. We have done that since 1953. And as you all know, the legislative council office prepares and sells to the public the printed volumes of the ORS. Pursuant to your direction, since 1997, the office also enters into licensing agreements with commercial providers of legal research information. Those providers typically charge lawyers and other intensive users of legal research services, a subscription fee to access the information. In addition, pursuant to statute and your direction, since 1997, the ORS has been available without charge for free in electronic form on the legislature's website. In addition to the other legislative documents, bills, the session laws, committee agendas, and the like. Not by chance, several months ago, members of the legislative council staff came across a website operated by the Justia Company, and it is a website that provides legal research materials, also provides internet marketing services to lawyers, and is a site that has advertising that's directed primarily at lawyers posted. We noted that the ORS was posted there, actually under their copyright, and we sent them a letter asking them to take that down, which they complied with, but without objection. We then entered into a series of discussions with them about first exploring the idea of Justia entering into a traditional licensing agreement with us, as we have done with other commercial providers, and then entering into a Creative Commons-style license that is basically a license that allows the user to use the electronic database without charge, and nevertheless be in compliance with copyright claims. Justia's assertion, however, is that the ORS is not capable of being copyrighted in any form, and at the moment they are considering seeking a declaratory judgment in federal court to that effect. However, they have asked you to review the ORS copyright policy and perhaps revisit that. As I noted, it's been the policy since 1953. I'll also give you a brief update on federal law, federal copyright protection initially is grounded in the U.S. Constitution, but case law surrounding that has evolved over time. There's a significant 1991 U.S. Supreme Court case that basically has made originality the standard by which materials can be subject to copyright, and in that case basically provides that for material to be capable of copyright, it must, either in its form or in its compilation, there must be some minimal level of creativity. The facts of that case involved a telephone book, and the court decided that the listing of phone numbers and names associated with that did not meet that minimal threshold level of creativity. Subsequent case law has more oriented towards legal research materials, has also concluded that publications that list, for example, the procedural history of cases or the names of attorneys and the like are also not capable of, or parallel citations, are not capable of copyright. The ORS is, in our view, somewhat more than that, but it is not entirely clear the extent to which under this new law it is capable of copyright. I'll note in your materials the third tab in gives you some examples of what in the ORS the committee claims copyright over, and what it does not, namely the committee claims copyright over lead lines, editorial notes, the chapter organization index, and annotations. And what you're being asked to consider here is whether you, at this point, want to disclaim that copyright going forward in light of the prevalence of legal research becoming an online function rather than a book function and the prevalence of sites on the internet that provide legal research to users for free and in light of your public policy choice to provide the ORS to the public in general. This is a long-standing choice of yours as well on the legislative website. I'd be happy to take any, if you have any, questions to answer them. Any questions? I have a few, Mr. Chair. Well, then please ask them. First, what other states have similar copyright restrictions that we are seeking to implement are continued in this case? Mr. Chair, Representative Richardson, there are 26 states that claim some form of copyright, whether they enforce that or not is a different question, but there are 26 states that do and 24 that make no statement that we have been able to determine with respect to their statutes. May I continue? Sure. Is there a policy that is good for Oregon in maintaining the restrictions that are being sought to over, that are being sought by Justia to change? Mr. Chair, Representative Richardson, there perhaps would be some concern about the continued accuracy of not the laws but the additional material that staff adds to the laws. However, I should note that regardless of the decision the committee makes, the Oregon revised statutes as prepared by the Legislative Council Office will be the official version of the IRS, and it is that version that by court rules are the only version you can cite to in court proceedings. So you continue really to maintain control over the accuracy of whatever is out there for official purposes. Representative Richardson, the question, so in terms of that issue of really protecting the core integrity of the IRS, are there other ways to do that? We've attempted, we and apparently 25 other states have attempted to do that by claiming some form of copyright, are there other ways in your estimation to do that that do not involve claiming copyright? Well, Mr. Chair and Representative Hunt, in theory we could provide only the printed version of the IRS. Though technology continues to evolve in this area and it will not, in fact, the technology exists now to take the printed, even if there were no publicly available electronic version, to take the printed version, convert that into electronic text, and then have that available. So in terms of technology, the answer is no, but in terms of the practical effect of that, it isn't in anyone's interest to have inaccurate versions of the IRS out there. And because only the official version will be recognized for official legal actions such as court matters and the like, that will be strong protection. Representative Rosenbaum, you look like you want to say or say or ask a question. Thank you, Mr. President. I guess I was just following up on Representative Hunt's question because I see Dexter in your memo that there have been discussions about non-monetary licensing agreements that could be negotiated, which seem to be designed to protect the integrity of the statutes from alteration in some form. I mean, everybody hears about Wikipedia and how you can change the number of Asian elephants and whether they're an endangered species by just getting a whole bunch of people to write in and say they're not. Obviously, I'm making light of this, but it's a serious matter that we don't want the statutes out there and being changed in some form that would be harmful to the public or to the public interest. So could you come in and net a little? Sure, Mr. Chair, Representative Rosenbaum. Yes. First, there is a Creative Commons license approach that is available, and in fact, we've had discussions with Justia and the other interested parties here about that option. They actually directed us in that direction at first, but they are at this time not interested in pursuing that arrangement. I'll also note in your materials you have an article from the Oregon State Bar Journal this month's edition describing the trend of legal research being available through a Creative Commons-style license, and actually the article discusses publicresource.org, which is another entity, Carl Malamud, the founder of that organization is here today to discuss this situation as well, and you may want to follow up on that question with him. And Nelson, any questions? Nelson. Senator Verdick. Yes, Mr. Chair. Could you elaborate on how the Creative Commons concept works and why that may not be acceptable? Mr. Chair or Senator Verdick, the Creative Commons license, basically my understanding is that it is a license you can as a holder of copyright can enter into to authorize anyone in the public to use the copyrighted material, but and to pass that on to others as well, subject to each person who receives the material agreeing to the terms of the license. You can structure that in such a way so that simply by posting the terms of the license on the legislative website, for example, that would be all that would be needed to achieve that. And so that if someone were to download, for example, ORS from the legislative website, they would buy that action to agreeing to the terms of the license. Okay, so follow up, Mr. Chair. So if that were to take place, then would the holder, would the person who agreed to the terms of those license, you know, Justia, for example, would that be a legitimate source for court purposes? That would require an additional change on the part of the legislature through the through court rules and court rules, which actually is not a would be a required change in court rules that court rules in this state recognize an official version of the ORS and that is the version produced by the Office of Legislative Council. Senator Nelson, please. Thank you, Mr. President. It seems to me that, you know, we're living in age where you have open source technology, pretty much freedom of what's going on. There's no propriety, proprietary effects of even software is now diminishing. We may technically be right as I read the information that you give into us, but is it worth the risk and reward? I mean, is that really what we're talking about? What's the risk and what's the reward? And do we want to make this stuff open to the public, which it already really is? And how much money does the state actually gain by selling these books and, you know, stuff like that? It seems to me that's a legitimate question. Mr. Chair, Senator Nelson, I can provide you information regarding the funding, the specific funding if you want. I mean, to me, it's just a question of, does this fight really worth fighting? It's out of, it's in the pub now, you do a lot of it electronically right now, don't you? Don't we do that? Mr. Chair, Senator Nelson, yeah, it's posted on the legislative website right now and has been for a number of years. I'll note that the sales of the printed volume of ORS support they're provided at cost by statute at cost to the consumers of legal information. The cost involved is the cost not just of printing and distributing the physical, the bound ORS, but also the more significant cost of editing and compiling the enactments that the legislature enacts into a codified addition. And roughly we generate $2 million in ORS sales, and that equals, and round numbers, our costs of which $500,000 is the actual printing and distribution costs, and the remaining one and a half million, so about 75%, is the cost of editing and compiling the legislative enactments. Could you still sell that even though, I mean, we didn't do the copyright, you could still sell the books, or there wouldn't be anything of interest in doing that. And has anybody thought about, you know, is this going to cut into your marketplace if these folks get their copyright declared declaratory judgment sustained? That's correct, Senator. It would not, if you disclaim copyright, it would then also permit any printer who wanted to decide to market their own version of the ORS. It would allow them to do that as well. And so the $2 million that are currently generated, there's uncertainty as to what will happen in the future. Thank you. Any further questions before we go to testimonies? Okay, just one second. Okay, we're going to, we have two panels of invited testimony before we go to general public testimony. One of the panels is not here, so they have submitted a letter. So that panel will speak by letter.


Moving on to the latest April 2nd heart fix, we saw a buff applied to the Vladov assault rifle I don't believe I've covered in the past, so this is a first for me. How's it going guys? My name is DPJ and today I bring you another BL3 video. If you do enjoy it leaving a like really helps me out and subscribe if you do want to see more. So the April 2nd heart fix saw a whole host of changes be applied to weapons across the board. Today we check out one of those weapons and it's called The Damned. So this Vladov assault rifle belongs to a family of quite decent assault rifles like the Lucians Kul, the Dictator, the Shreddy Fire, the Phaser, the Olga and the Siko which we all know acts more like a shotgun. So one of seven assault rifles in the Vladov family but this is by far the least I've seen about, talked about, even used and this could indeed be the reason this received a buff within the April 2nd update. So the change to this weapon took it from a damage stack value of a 1.25 up to a 1.7. So it receives I believe around that 25-35% damage buff mark. Now this Damned is a weapon that comes after all elements or no elements at all like the one I'm using here and it's part of the trick as well I believe like many Hyperion weapons when you aim you get a shield. Other than that I myself couldn't find anything else this thing offered in terms of something unique and to be honest the shield isn't even unique as that's a standard feature I swear. So really going into this test and review I didn't really have much to look forward to. Now using this for a few hours in a few different places I instantly felt that this indeed was a decent assault rifle. It's one of those all-around weapons which is maybe average at everything. It hasn't got amazing damage but it's very accurate. It doesn't have a gigantic mag size but it does have a decent fire rate and in fact using it within a slot of shaft I was surprised with how it handled itself. It was doing very very well against even the toughest enemies here within a slot of shaft and many weapon I've tested here against the same enemies within the same build did fall short a lot of time. This one though was doing well well that was until it ran out of ammo and yeah did I mention that already this thing is ammo thirsty so using it for a decent period of time while I feel this weapon is it is a great backup weapon. The fact they also come offering all elements too it could indeed be worth getting a full set of for backup purposes as if you need an assault rifle for build purposes due to skills and mods etc etc there ain't many of assault rifles in this game which can help you in this case in terms of offering all elements. I can think of one off the top of my head which is also a great all-around weapon which again comes in all elements and that is a doll's chaos which I rate highly now would I say this is on par with that no I wouldn't the fact the chaos has an effective trading causing enemies to explode upon death means it's probably the best all-round assault rifle in the game which comes offering all elements but a damned ain't too far behind it's a decent weapon but unlike how I think the chaos would be a much better go to weapon this damned I feel will make it's worth being a backup weapon for any build like I said concentrating or having a room where you need a decent backup assault rifle offering a certain element that is what this is now this damned is a weapon you can find I believe across the planes of the game as it's a world drop well it's dedicated bus drop is agonized in 9000 within the guts of carnivore so if you wanted people you know where to get it so yeah my thoughts on this weapon is a decent assault rifle for sure one of the better all-round assault rifles in the game but for me its benefits come as a substitute weapon not something I believe you can base a build around but on that note guys we have come to the end of the video if you guys enjoyed it leaving a like really helps out if you're new around here want to see more borderlands be sure to subscribe and if you never want to miss a video upload you can turn notifications on by hitting that bell button but guys thanks as always for stopping by hopefully you enjoyed the video and hopefully I will see you on that next one


here for those who can't be here. Let me get into my screen sharing here. Let's go that. Get a little zoom action here. Probably put that there, I suppose. Okay. This is just a generic Moodle course shell. I created this yesterday. And all it has in it, all I've done to this course shell essentially is just renamed this news forum into what we typically call it news and announcements. And I've made 10 identical assignments on the front page. And we'll get into why and where for how I did these in a later segment. Speaking of segments though, by the way, we're only going to be meeting today about the natural aggregation today. But we've got a number of other topics. You can see, yes, this is an actual piece of paper. We're going to be covering those in the near future. So today talking about the aggregation method and later on talking about why we're making these assignments and how they appear in your grade book. So in my course shell, I go to the administration block and down to grades. This will look familiar when you see the grade spreadsheet. Excuse me. Okay. And of course, if we had students enrolled, there'd be vertically down this left column, their names, but there's no students enrolled in this course shell. You look across this row up here. There's your week one assignment, week two, et cetera, et cetera. We set these up as 10 weeks, 10 assignments, and each of those are 10 points to keep it simple. And briefly, historically, we had quite often had taken course shells into the aggregation method known as simple weighted mean of grades for a number of reasons, fairly often, to fix little niggling little issues we've had with grade book settings in the past. And sometimes we found some success in the past of moving the aggregation method over to simple weighted mean of grades. But the whole context of this webinar and the whole context of these series of webinars are going to be doing is about simplicity and responding to a lot of questions and concerns and statements, comments about the little grade book kind of getting really complex and how to use the little grade book in a simple, easy to understand fashion for both instructors and students. So we found that it's probably going to be best to move this system default aggregation method over to what was until recently known as some of grades. Now it's called natural weighting. So again, I'm in my, I see someone else just dropped in here. That's cool. Thanks. Again, I'm in this course shell is a grade book just jumped into it. And this dropdown up here under view, if I switch over to categories and items, I'll show you how you can A, make sure if you want to be on the natural application method to switch over to it and B, just to verify if you think you already are. It's a little bit varied. But again, in this course shell, all I've done is create these assignments so that they appear in the grade book. And I haven't made any grade book categories yet. We'll cover that in a future segment. But so the default overall overarching category for this course is called what the course of the self was called the webinar work bench is real creative. And over on the right under actions, I click the edit dropdown, and I go to edit settings. And once I get into there under the grade category area, I click on show more. And right here, the aggregation method. Since this course show was created yesterday, we we've reset the default setting to natural about a month to month and a half ago, maybe a little earlier. But previous to that, it might have come in existence as simple way to mean of grades. Now, this is the other part of the second most popular aggregation method on our system now. So if you want just a basically a sum of grades, it's all it's like I said earlier, it's known now as natural, the natural aggregation method for Moodle. This is the one to go with. So start with that. And of course, on here, click save changes. I shared in the chat window a few minutes ago, but doc, here's the threat that I'm going to reference here in a sec. I'll just read a couple of things about the natural aggregation method, then we'll be done essentially. So if you need that link again, if it didn't come through in the chat, let me know, I can also send it out via email. Basically, just just a brief explanation of what Moodle is calling the natural aggregation method is essentially the sum of all grades. And it's the only type of aggregation method that does not convert the grades to percentages internally. And the natural aggregation functions as a sum of apologize for my squeaky chair here, natural aggregation functions as a sum of grades when the weight boxes are left alone. And you'll see the weight boxes, we'll see those in the future segment basically. So I think wrapping up, we can say that look at the overall course aggregation method as being like the umbrella that that everything starts off with in your gradebook as far as the aggregation method goes. And again, here it is, under which if you want to go and click on cancel now, if you want to later on incorporate different aggregation methods for an individual gradeable item, or for that matter, a category of gradeable items, which again, we'll get into gradebook categories in the future segment, you're still welcome to do so. So your overarching is the default simple summing up of the students grades they've earned, underneath which optionally, if you'd like to incorporate a different aggregation method. So without risking it getting too complex at that point, we can leave it there. If you have any questions, of course, you can pop it into the chat. Or if you'd like to just continue with the email thread, I start about regarding this webinar. And with that, I think we can probably click on my stop the screen share for a sec here. Here we are again. With that that actually about wraps about what we want to cover. I didn't want to get into get into it too deep and heavy here because there's from here, there's dozens of ways we could go that would not be good for a webinar experience, basically. I encourage you to look at the Google doc that I've shared and read more up on on the simple aspect of the natural aggregation method. Just think of that is just the simple way that Moodle can calculate your grades. A lot of instructors are moving to a more simple grade book, whatever elements are using it, given Moodle, and just a simple way to calculate grades, just summing up the scores, the grades that your students earn. With that, I'll stop the recording. Any other questions follow up via the email thread. Thank you for joining and be on the lookout for next week's section segment. I believe we're going to be getting into grade book categories and how to how to deploy a good logical process for creating grade book categories of maybe assignments, the category for your quizzes, the category for other types of gradable items. So it kind of makes sense. Thanks. I'll see you next time.


Hey there friends, thanks for checking in. I have been a fan of CZ Handguns for a long time before they became extremely popular. They were not really mainstream but they kind of were used to be able to pick up a CZ75 for right around 400 bucks maybe four and a quarter and then they created a bunch of variants and people really became interested and started chasing after CZs and the price grew with those models as well. So as far as the sub-compact models go, the smallest handgun that they had for many years was the 2075 Rammy, 3-inch barrel aluminum frame, full-size feel and it shoots like a dream. It really does and a lot of people loved it but for some reason they discontinued this two years almost to the day. They discontinued it in 2021 in January and left people wondering why. The great gun, a little heavier than some of the more modern double-stack nines but every time I saw one at a gun store it was gone quickly, most likely import issues. But then they came out with the CZ-P10S and a lot of people were excited with this as well. It made an optic ready model, a non-optic ready on the smaller size but not real sub-compact and I think this shoots great too. I was so excited to get my hands on this. 12 round mags, I have an extension on there for 14 rounds and it's great but last year they came out with the CZ-P10M and a lot of people said well that is really not what we're looking for. You know it's a single stack, it's actually a staggered stack, 7 round mag with a single feed but it's small, it's lightweight, 3.4 inch barrel, not a lot of excitement. I was excited to get it but not a lot of excitement over it because what happened, the double stack sub-compact 9mm became popular. Now we know CZ has a lot of innovation. When they had their full size model of CZ-SP01 people wanted more of a race gun and they came out with, that was like the golden child of CZ, then they came out with the Phantom and then eventually they came out with what people really wanted was the Shadow II and then they made it optic ready, this one's not, I wish it was but it's a great shooting handgun and many people compete with these but the greatest question is are they going to innovate with their sub-compact models and what is it that people want? They want the sub-compact double stack mag, the sub-compact double stack mag. You know these manufacturers are cranking out the sub-compact right around the 3 inch barrel double stack mags and if you look at the difference between the P10S they would argue hey we've got the P10S and they're not wrong about that but you'll see a huge size and weight difference. This falls in line more with the FNS 9C or 509C now but they want the real sub-compact that's what people want now I am not surprised that there are so many people on this channel that say CZ is the best out there. They have not lost a handgun challenge you know this company versus that company CZ is the only one to go undefeated but when are they going to come out with a polymer frame double stack mag the size of the Rammy probably a little thinner if we look at the P365 and the Ramya on the left we'll see it's a little wider of course this has rubber grips on there if they made it a polymer perhaps a P10 Max a P10 XL a P10 you name it I don't know but a P10 double stack three inch barrel not a three and a half inch barrel very lightweight and I think that would sell like crazy now what are my thoughts I think they're most likely working on it these things take time I know a lot of people especially the CC W market they say well just take that P10M extend the grip out a little bit and shorten the barrel to a three inch barrel and just do that the engineering that takes place to make that happen is more than we know it took a while when this was first introduced it was only available overseas and people got excited because at that point they were still into single stack or stagger stack or you name it but then the double stack subcompact start coming out by other manufacturers and people said when are CZ going to get their act together and produce one and that is the question I love CZ but I am waiting impatiently for that very small subcompact three 3.2 inch barrel double stack 9 millimeter do I think it's going to happen well based on everything that I've seen so far I think it has potential I think it will but at this point they don't have it perhaps they'll you know find out in a couple days in Chacho that they came out with this but I've heard nothing of it I have to believe they're working on it I love CZ but I'm missing that handgun in their collection yeah great gun all these are I have no issues with any of them very reliable but it's that very small double stack mag handgun that I think people really want and they want it from CZ they love CZ they want that reliability the accuracy that sweet trigger and everything else that CZ offers for their everyday carry if you like videos like this please subscribe and share I always appreciate thumbs up button thanks for watching and you guys be safe


Good afternoon. I'm Elizabeth Sackler, and it's a pleasure to welcome you here today. I'd like to wish you happy holidays and happy Hanukkah. The programs that we have, the Elizabeth A. Sackler Center for Feminist Art, that we have here in the auditorium, are an extension of the center. And we use the auditorium when we know we have special programming that's going to draw a lot of people or requires a good view. And the screening that we're going to see today deserves this auditorium and many, many more. We've had an incredible two and a half years since the center opened. Come March, it will be our third anniversary. We're an exhibition space. Many of you know us as an education facility dedicated to feminist art. And our mission is to raise the awareness, public's awareness of the contributions of feminism and feminist art to our entire landscape, our political landscape, our artistic landscape, and our social and cultural landscapes. Today is a special day. It's the, I can't remember if it's the third or fourth of this year. It's the third wild card.  I care what it is because part of my agreement with the museum and putting the center together was my request and their agreement to give me three days a year or four, if it merited it, to bring in guests that I felt were particularly important that aren't necessarily connected, if you will, to the museum world. So it gives me an opportunity to bring in people associated with women's struggles and activism, with women's rights and politics. And we've had panel discussions from funding a revolution to the war that we have to wage on the global international sex trafficking problems. Our guests have included the great and wonderful Gloria Steinem, Jennifer Buffett, Carol Jenkins, Lowry Sims, and many more. And it's always wonderful and an exciting opportunity to hear some very important people. Today we are screening the award winning documentary, Pray the Devil Back to Hell, which was produced by my good friend, Abby Disney, and directed by the very talented Ginny Rettiker.   And they won a long-awaited peace. They took their country back. We talk about taking back the night. They took back their country. They ended the horrors of war where children and women were the primary targets and the victims of this horrendous period of time. Today's screening has been coordinated with UNIFEM, the United Nations International Fund for Women at work since 1976. And I would like to introduce you to the president of the Metropolitan New York Chapter of the U.S. National Committee for UNIFEM and Vice President of the National Board, Leslie Wright. And Leslie is the reason that we are here today about to experience this moving and inspirational film. UNIFEM is distributing Pray the Devil Back to Hell. And my invitation for a wild card, Leslie met it with great enthusiasm to have Pray the Devil Back to Hell. Here, let's put the devil in heaven. Maybe we'll have a changed world. Maybe that's my dream. Leslie believes, as do I, in empowering women to make a difference in the world as we know it. And Leslie believes that the world as we know it might be changed by this film. So please help me welcome Leslie Wright. Well, thank you so much for that introduction, Dr. Sackler. And I would like to thank both Dr. Sackler and Ginny Rattaker for being here today to be able to screen this film with us because the film itself almost needs no introduction at this point in time. The U.S. National Committee took on the project with many other nonprofit organizations of getting the word out about the film and of doing screenings all over the country. And in our case, we had all 12 of our national chapters screen the film in their communities. And in the case of North Carolina in New York, there have been at least 20 screenings of the film that have taken place.  A story that would have been left untold had it not been for the work of Ginny and Abby Disney really being committed to making certain that this story was researched, put together as a documentary film and distributed widely for all of us to get some inspiration from. When you see it, you'll see what I mean. Now, the U.S. National Committee, as I said, has 12 chapters. The Metropolitan New York chapter meets in the New York City community. We have several more screenings that we hope to be able to do of this film in Queens and on Long Island. And we hope that for those persons that you know who would be interested in those films that you would tell them about us. We have a website. You can find our website listed on the brochures that are out on the table in the back. There's also a sign-up sheet there if you would like to participate in any of our additional programs. We hope to have a fundraising event where we have invited Gillian Sorenson and her husband Ted Sorenson to speak about politics in the United States and how it affects women. We hope that that will take place at the end of January. In March we do our luncheon, which is where I met Abby Disney actually. I invited her to speak at our luncheon and she was so moving and inspirational that I knew that even before the film was completed that we wanted to be part of the group that really pushed to have it exposed widely in the United States. Then, in addition to that, we'll be doing a conference in June on violence against women. That's June 11th and 12th and I do invite you to put your names on the sign-up sheet if you'd like further information about any of these programs. Thank you so much and without further ado I'd really like to invite Dr. Sackler back to the podium to kick off this film and I do look forward so much to the talk back with Ginny Rettiker. Thank you. Thank you very much Leslie. It's wonderful that UNIFM is doing the work that it's doing. It's wonderful that they're here with us to see and screen Pray the Devil Back to Hell so if we could lower the lights and enjoy. I think you're in for a wonderful treat. Fabulous. It's just so uplifting. This is Ginny Rettiker, the director of Pray the Devil Back to Hell. It's just incredibly fabulous. Every time I see it, it's just better and better. As you know, we had promised a conversation with Ginny and myself and with Abby Disney. Abby called last night and she's had an emergency with her family so she's unable to join us today but we are going to sit down Ginny and I and talk. They're incredible. So I'm curious to know from you how you got involved, what you found when you were in Liberia and how, these are three questions, how you determined, how you, as a filmmaker, sculpted this story so that we have the full gist of it. Well, I got involved because of Abby and Abby had gone to Liberia. She's been a philanthropist and been involved with women movement for many years and she went to Liberia after Ellen Johnson Sirleaf was elected to support her presidency. And while she was there, she heard all these women talking about, oh, remember the day that we were in the field or remember the day that we confronted Taylor or the remember the day that we surrounded the peace hall and Abby kept saying, what are you talking about? Because somehow the story was not heard and Abby figured, well, if she didn't hear about it, it couldn't possibly be true. And coincidentally, Abby and I ran into each other after not having seen each other for like 12 years at our daughter's softball game. And I had been making documentary films covering many different issues for a long time. And Abby said, I think there's an incredible story about what happened in Liberia. And I had actually the same initial response that Abby did, which is this couldn't possibly be true because I actually have made other films in Africa. I knew a lot about what had happened in Liberia. And Abby said, well, would I make this film with her?  That's all you think about.  And I thought, I don't know if I could do this. And then- Before you continue, will you hold that? Because I would like to read your bio so that everybody can fully, I got so carried away with the film wanting to hear from you. But I think you'd like to know a little bit, so everybody will know. You are one of the world's leading filmmakers on women's issues. She produced Asylum, the 2004 Academy Award, nominated Short, focusing on the story of Gennian women who fled female general mutilation to seek political asylum in the U.S. And was the producer director of the 1994 Sundance Award-winning Heart of the Matter, first full-length documentary about the impact of HIV on women in the U.S. She produced and directed the 2005 Emmy Award-winning documentary Ladies First for the PBS series Wide Angle, which focuses on the role of women in rebuilding the post-genocide Wanda. For Wide Angle, she also directed the Class of 2006, which spotlights the first 50 women in Morocco to graduate from an imam academy in Rabat. And there are many other credits, many Emmy nominations. And you, oh, Michael Moore, Roger and me, that's where you started in film as an editor. And with PBS, a lot of things. So we'll talk about that later. But you were coming to this, and you and Abby did get together and Abby knew that you had all of this grit behind you. Because Abby had actually hosted a fundraising party for me for one of my first films. Okay. But I was nervous until Lima came to speak to United Nations. I think actually at the invitation of UNIFEM to speak about the importance of women in peace and security. And we met Lima at that point. And when I met Lima, I thought, oh, there's no problem. We definitely have a film. Because I realized, as you said, it wasn't just a film that was horribly depressing, but that it was a wonderfully inspiring story. And so that was kind of where we started. But we really had to document that the story was true. So the first thing that we did is we went and we did a fact-finding trip where we went, I think, in December of 2006. And we got about 20 or 30 of the women who had been involved to come and meet with us. And we invited everybody who wanted to come and talk to us. And we sat around for hours listening to women's stories. And we also shot that not with professional cameras or whatever, but to document. And it was just one of the most emotional days of my life because these women were telling incredible stories where one of them left off, the other one would start. And I felt incredibly responsible to really do the best job I could in conveying their stories. And at that point, I really made a commitment that I would not use a narrator, there would be no voice of God, that I would let these women speak in their own voice and tell their own story. And that was what we did. So since you weren't in real time, but you were reconstructing the events, how did you get all of this footage and this? So the first thing I did is actually, we took from that first meeting, and then I put all the women's stories in a chronological order. And certain events that everybody always talks about no matter what you do. And I knew those events to be true. And I got my hands on as many other documents that I could and started searching through footage. And one of the things that was interesting about it was it was incredibly easy actually to find the war footage. I have to say that I probably spent in an edit room, I think at least three weeks straight, say 40 hours a week looking at horrible images of what boys with guns and men with guns were doing. But it was incredibly difficult to find the footage of the women. That was a really hard material to find. That something we've become accustomed to hearing over and over and over again. That's one of the things that I think your film is beginning to address as we try to address here at the center. What I notice in this particularly stunning are the young ages of the boys in this. And it seems as though in the very beginning, it talks about what it is to capture boys at a certain age, prepubescent, when a lot of hormones are going and things are going, and to really bring them into a mindset. And did you meet any of the surviving boys?  They had been child soldiers. And I mean, there was kids as young as six that had guns. And some of the women tell stories of having a six-year-old boy who can't even hold the gun. So he's sitting on the ground and holding it and pointing at you and ordering you what to do. You know, just incredibly dangerous. And these kids were drugged and, you know, fed drugs. But again, what was interesting is there was, I had journalists say to me, I saw the women on the field, but I thought they were so pathetic looking that I didn't film them. So, you know, it was much, and when we stayed in Liberia, we stayed at this hotel that had stayed open the whole time during the whole war. And the hotel was had, the lobby was like decorated with cartoons of young boys with guns posing for journalists. So in some ways, the boys would play to the journalists and that the women's story was right there and people missed it. Why do you think that? Why do you think that you didn't know about the women's story? Or Abby didn't hear about it, or we didn't hear about it? I think two things. One is that this was happening exactly at the same point that we were, this country was involved in invading Iraq, exactly that point. And I think that war is told from the point of view of people with guns and what controls it. And yet, any general, anybody will tell you that the hearts and minds of the population are the most important thing. I mean, I think that we're going to watch how this unfolds now in Afghanistan. All the stories about what's happening with the guns and the surge, but what's going to happen with the civilians? I mean, I'm really curious about that. What are the women in Afghanistan going to do? So I think it's a story that people don't often follow. And what kind of distribution will this film be getting internationally? Maybe that's a Unifem question, but I'm just curious to know whether or not we're going to, the other women are going to have an opportunity to see this. The film has already played on all seven continents. We've been playing, we've played in conflict zones with Unifem. We're doing distribution with Oxfam as they asked if they can distribute the film in conflict zones around the world. Abby and I have taken it personally to places like Israel and Palestine, and it's been in Iraq, it's been shown in places in Afghanistan and Sudan, in Bosnia, in Georgia before the war started, and it's often had an incredible impact. And women have come together and started working together. And often women say, wow, I recognize this is my story. In the United States, we are going to be on WNET and Channel 13 is part of the Wide Angle series. And because of this and what's come out of this is that actually we're now going to do a four-part series, or five parts, because this will be the first, about women war and peace on a global level. Because we feel that what we saw, both the fact that there wasn't footage of it, that there wasn't coverage of this kind of story, and also that a lot of the elements of what we saw in this film, that war being the purpose of the war, not to win the war, but to keep the war going, civilians being under attack, rape being used as a tool of war, a strategy of war. The same things we're seeing happening on a global level. I had an opportunity a couple of months ago to host at the Foundation a fundraiser for women war and peace for Wide Angle for WNET. I know you're hoping to start production in January with the year start date. And just so everybody knows, I don't know if there's any place online. It seems like everything's online. But I think WNET is still continuing to look for sponsorship. And I had suggested to them that it would be a wonderful thing to have women's organizations, national women's organizations, and local women's organizations in this country band together and make contributions towards women war and peace. So that when you have the credits rolling at the end, you have a very nice, long solidarity having to do with that. I have a question for you. There are two things that are in my mind. One is about women war and peace. And I am curious to know the punctuation of women, comma, war, comma, and peace, or women, comma, war, and peace, or how is it going? Women, war, no commas, and peace, and percent, and peace. So that's the way. So with that, what described to me precisely then what, how that will manifest itself in the four parts? Well, I think actually we're still determining that because what we had decided was to not decide exactly what the stories were until we went into production because things change. But we'll really be looking at many, not only the role that women play as, and are so often seen as collateral damage or as victims, but what role women play in keeping life going, what role women are playing at the peace table. And as I said, we'll have a global perspective. So we'll be looking at, I'm sure we're going to look at Colombia because I want to do something in this hemisphere. And it's kind of unknown to people that there's more displaced people in Colombia than there are anyplace else outside of Sudan. Colombia is a terrorism. Right. Yeah. And we'll do something in Asia. I think that we have to do something in Afghanistan and we'll do a story in Africa. And we'll look at how things are related. Also, we'll really track how the absolute proliferation of weapons in this world is contributing to all of this. Yeah. Well, the second piece that I was thinking about is that when at the peace talks, the discussion or the context is made that it is bad luck or against God to see your mother naked. So that's a cultural thing. So one of the one of the power tools that these women had at that moment when they were about to be arrested and pulled out of the peace talks, which then became the turning point, was the threat to undress and that stopped them from being arrested. Do you think that worked in that culture and it might not work in other parts of the world? No. I think it would work in every single part of the world because I think what the women did first is they got women from both sides. So that Taylor's aunt could have been in that room and could have been threatening to undress. I think if Barbara Bush or Lauren Bush or Michelle would not have been successful had they not done it with all eyes in the world on them. And I think that we could do the same thing here. But I think that they really banded together. I think it's not as cultural. I think it wouldn't work anywhere. But I just want to say thank you for the plug for WNEC for forgetting people to come to our website. Oh, yeah. It's really important. I think the idea of having a series of women worn pieces is long overdue. And I think the thing that's exciting I think about this film is, I don't know for myself, is that it speaks to, it reminds us of the power that we hold and that in doing nothing what it is that we are participating in. And all of the even small work that was done, I mean there were women at every level on this, including this great strategic thinking. I mean it was just phenomenal. It was really wonderful. On October 6th, The New York Times had a front page that said, in a guinea seized by violence, women are prey. And it's the first time in my memory, and please correct me if I'm wrong, that I've seen an acknowledgement in the press of the toll that a war-torn situation is taking on women and that it's really front and center in the horror that women confront. I've heard it said that it is more dangerous to be a woman than it is to be a soldier in many countries. Well I mean I think that you know war has changed so in less I think really over the last century but really in the last 20 years and so civilians are the target and women and children are the majority of the population. And we're targeted not just to kill but in order to control a population.  So if you're trying to extract the wealth of the country and you need people to work it's a good way to do it. So I think that we're seeing that in a lot of places. Do you think the fact that the Times had this front and center on the front page means or am I being optimistic that there is maybe a global consciousness of that opening possibility for our cry for a stop against the atrocities that are. I do think that there's a momentum for it. Yes I very strongly feel that there's a momentum for that. Well that's the good news. I'd like to we have two microphones and we have 15, 10, 15 minutes. Are there some questions for Ginny or statements? Yes please Deborah. No. I would just take the mic please. It's not on. We have to turn the mic on. Oh you have to keep this. Let's turn it on and let's leave it on so we don't turn it off. There you are. Okay. I confess to knowing next to nothing about Liberia. So where does the new president Ms. Johnson, Mrs. Johnson, how does she relate to the women in that community? Did she have any involvement? Did she come from somewhere else? Was there a relationship between them before during the war? There was no relationship between them during the war. Actually Ellen Johnson Sirleaf had a long political history in Liberia but at that point she was living in exile outside the country and so she didn't really know about the women's movement and what was happening. I mean she was a delegate representing civil society at the peace talks so she certainly knew about them taking over the peace hall and then the process that was after the war when the whole period of election, I mean that period was a two and a half year transitional period to justice that was a, I think the first round of elections there was 33 people who were running for president and so it got down to the election, got down to a runoff between Ellen Johnson Sirleaf and George Weah who's a very famous and beloved soccer player and it was, you know, if the women had any doubt about who they were going to support at that point it became very clear to them that they wanted to make sure that a woman got elected and you know she had worked for the World Bank, she's a very stable, you know, very bright woman who really they felt really knew how to run the country and so it was during that period that the women in Ellen became much closer together. But it also looked like there was a lot of grassroots educating about the voting process and how, is that part of how it was rested assured that there was in fact a democratic process going on? I mean who was watching the polls? Well I think that, I mean that's true and I think it's one of the things that's very interesting is that there had been, I think in 14 years there had been as many different broken peace treaties in Liberia and one of the things that the women did was they got the benchmarks from the peace talk, from the treaty and they made sure they really held everybody's feet to the fire so if at a certain day in a certain community disarmament was supposed to happen they made sure that it happened. If a voting thing was supposed to happen the women made sure that it was that was happening. They relieved the market women from their stance that the market women could go to vote. They made sure that everybody had their voting cards. They, you know, they might have made sure that their husbands couldn't get out of the house if they didn't want to vote for Ellen. I mean I think they did whatever they could to make sure that she was alive. So in addition to Les Estrada and in work at work right here we also had major major voting education going on. Right and again I think this is something that we need that more in this country. I think this is also something that Unifem was very very involved in. Yes are there other questions? Yes please over here. Hello Linda. I just want to thank you very very much because this was so very exciting and before coming here I thought can women really counter attack the guns and can women really make a difference? And I've been in so many marches where we haven't made a difference. We've had a hundred thousand people at a march, an anti-war march and we weren't really able to make a difference. Are you inspired to to work in this country too? Yeah and what is the difference? Why can't we do it here? You know I'm definitely inspired to work in this country and I would also say that one of the most inspiring screenings that I've done of this film was about a month ago in Philadelphia with a group called Mothers in Charge and it was a group that was started by mothers whose children had been murdered in Philadelphia and again there's just such a proliferation of weapons and there was the screening there was 400 people at the screening there was men and women they made sure that there was both Muslim and Christians represented it was amazing screening where at the end of it everybody stood up and took a pledge what they were personally going to do to end violence in their community what they were going to do to end the guns in their community these women had clothes there was a gun store in Philadelphia where most of the weapons that were that were being retrieved during the crimes were coming from because someone was so loose with the paperwork so I mean I was I was like bowled away by these women and I would so I'd love to work with them here I think that that you know what what the women in Liberia had and what these women in Philadelphia it's like it's not about somebody else it's really about us and I think that that's what what was really recognized and and the fact that people of really different walks of life were coming together so I definitely am inspired to work here and I you know definitely and I think we can do things in Liberia thank you Linda in Liberia and in other countries oh who is where the guns coming from and why are they so cheap and why is there such easy access I mean I think that the guns are pretty easy to get everywhere and the the five biggest gun manufacturer these are major guns we're well there are pgs and they're light they're actually they're light they're light weapons and they're they're made in the soviet union I mean the Russia the United States France the the the five biggest members the five trafficking them well I think several things happening one is that you know there's a oh there's the arms traffickers that were used to run proxy wars the United States and the soviet union they've gone rogue so to speak and people like Victor bout who's now been captured and executive decisions that came out of South Africa there was this whole apparatus that used to keep that going and they still had the planes they sell the guns and they're they're arms trafficking and that's one of the things we're going to track and in we're going to follow also the implications of that on women we'll follow that as part of the women war and peace series wonderful so you're going to take a thread throughout the four is this film going to be included as one of the four no it's a fifth it will be five hours all together it'll be a separate film yeah are you going to be on target with starting in January we're starting in January you are starting in January wonderful are there are the yes there are there are two three questions yeah no well wherever you are we'll catch everybody we have time the second time I've seen this film and it's still just as empowering so thank you I agree a few months ago I know the New York Times 10 article about how sexual violence against women in Liberia is still extraordinarily pervasive because not just through the last war but through generations of words all that they know do you see opportunities for the women for this movement to confront that culture moving forward I think that they are trying to confront that and you're right that that the there's actually been an increase in rape since the war ended and I think that that's actually something that there's been an increase in rape since the war ended and I think that this is something that's being seen in a lot of post conflict societies like the the men come home they have nothing that there's 80% unemployment rate in Liberia as you said that the violence is something that people have known for a long time also I understand from Leslie that that there's a market women who are trading on the borders and they're being raped at the borders it's a huge problem and not a very functioning judicial system so people are working to to address that problem but it is definitely a huge problem this is something that we we're seeing here more and more the more people women who come and speak is the war that is being waged globally against women on so many different levels I have heard that there's more women there are more women being trafficked than arms there are as we know multitude of rape camps around what happens to a culture what happens to a country what happens to a world where this kind of trauma has gone on not only for women and daughters but then for sons who are raised up with that and how do we begin to break these cycles I post that as a very big question I don't expect that Ginny is going to answer that in the next five minutes there's there was another question and in the back somebody else had their hands up with this one right here in the front and somebody else had their hand up in the back yeah thank you for a most moving and powerful film I was especially struck by a point made by one of the women at the end about peace as a process and the meaning of reconciliation in that process I'm sort of wondering where I am with that now given the information we've just had about the in the increase of rapes since the end of this conflict but it strikes me that that is that reconciliation is such a necessary element in thinking about peace certainly so absent from the processes that are in motion now in this country for example with the prospect of the trials that will be held in Manhattan for the some of the detainees at Guantanamo and to contrast that prospect with the idea of reconciliation it seems like such a huge gap I wonder what your thoughts are on the significance of a reconciliation process in the longer process of peace I think the concept that that peace is a process not an event when I heard sugar say that I was like wow that's such an interesting concept that I had never thought about it and to me not only as part of the end but as part of the beginning like we can jump in anytime and start and start working for peace and I think reconciliation must be all you know I think it must always be very difficult for people who I think and I think that people in Liberia women in Liberia are divided about it as you saw in the film and yet in order for the library to move forward they have to reconcile I mean I think that it's kind of like in after you know Hitler I don't think that there was a lot of Jews left in Germany but I think that's like in what's happening in in Liberia they all have to live together and move forward and that must be incredibly difficult in terms of the World Trade Center and the bombing and the trial I don't know that's like I haven't thought about all that in that context at all yes hi um I wanted to ask you about balancing your communication strategy I know it's very important to have success stories that come out of these places um and then at the same time there's the danger of living by these positive anecdotes that you know sometimes might leave an audience thinking that things are fine now and I was wondering when you're going through your process of creating this storyline or any other how you try to think about both sides and balance your message to make sure that people are left empowered yet with honesty at the same time um well I think that I I guess I probably made that decision about what stories I tell because I think if it's just horror horror horror horror horror I think it's just what's the point it just it's it demobilizes you it's and I can't think of any point to tell that story so I was more attracted to this story because it had some hope in it a lot of hope in it and I think in general um you know I I'd believe in redemption and I believe I believe that in and I like narrative really a lot I like stories and so I I'm always more interested in telling stories that have some glimmer there for us um I just to me it seems to me that that the rest of the press is or there's so much of negative around us that it's for me to do a positive story is enough balance if you ask me there last question yes in the back and thank you so much as everybody else has said um I was just wondering at towards the end of the film the the women were very critical of the the actions or rather inactions of the UN um but you then spoke about some of the things that that UNEFEM did in terms of democratizing the process um I was just curious to hear your sense of the role of the international community in this whole story I think it's been mixed um but I think that the UN peacekeeping force has done a fabulous job I think that that without the UN peacekeeping force there for the number the length of time and that they've been there it would have been a disaster and I think everybody in Liberia feels that way they've done I think a great job um I think that during the war you know a lot of people felt like they wish that the international forces had stepped in sooner um but I do also think that the U.S. the the U.S. the ambassador there kept the embassy open he didn't have to but he did he chose to he gave people refuge he was very involved in some of the local negotiations with people to put their guns down so I think it was um a mixed bag but I wouldn't and that day where the where communications broke down and and fighting broke out you know I've talked to the people who were involved in the UN in planning that day they agreed that they made major mistakes they then began to work with the women so I I don't think that it's been without problems but I think on the whole it's been very good. Jenny I want to thank you from the bottom of my heart for a wonderful film for coming here today. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you very much. You know thank you. When one sees this film and when I hear women in this country talking about a post-feminist era I think that even talking about a post-feminist era uh is embarrassing. Um I would like to to thank Tracy actually who's an intern here with the Department of Education she is single-handedly along with the wonderful staff but gotten us up on the stage today because a lot of people are out so I want to thank you very much Tracy and and UNIFEM where's Leslie Leslie thank you so much and thank you for distributing and thank you for everything that you're doing and have been doing for so many years I think one of the things that we're hearing here is constancy that without diligence and without constancy we can't make strides so I thank you for continuing with UNIFEM and as you leave you're going to be hearing a tape and there'll be a visual we can touch the sun which is this theme song for the U.S. National Committee for UNIFEM. I thank you all very much for coming stay dry have a happy holiday season and a happy new year thank you so much


The Chief Medical Doctor, University College Hospital Professor Jesse Ortegbio says health workers in the country are unpaid as only God can reward them for their work. Ortegbio made this known while addressing the unbound medical laboratory scientists at the International Medical Laboratory Science at the University College Hospital, Ibadon. Also speaking, the Chairman, Association of Medical Laboratory Scientists of Nigeria, a United States Chapter, Idoo Akimbollah, uploaded the United States government on how it dealt with the issue of COVID-19 in the state. Other speakers said the celebration gives the profession a day to promote and celebrate themselves as professionals. They called on the federal government to spend more on the health sector and put a stop to medical tourism. We have to do to ensure that all our hospitals are adequately equipped and also that the health workers are adequately trained and of course adequate remuneration. We are just such a huge country that it will be difficult to meet all the needs at a time and with the efforts that the current administration is putting in place, I believe things will be better. Our adequate sponsorship of manpower in terms of quality diagnostic equipment to work with. The government, the NGOs, international sponsors to actually equip our laboratories to actually make it worthwhile just are the international standard that we have. In doing this, I believe that it's going to have a way of reducing the rate of medical tourism by our leaders. Most of our laboratories, most especially when you look at the government laboratories, they are not properly equipped with the state of the heart equipment. The world is advancing on daily basis and things are changing on daily basis. The world of science is dynamic and on daily basis, new infection comes. You have to actually diagnose those new infections that you have to use, but we stick to the equipment to be able to do this. So I want to implore your state government to actually ensure that all our laboratories are properly equipped and make conducive for medical laboratories personnel to be able to work in that particular place.


This study found that pancreatic duct lavage cytology combined with a cell block method, PLCCB, had high accuracy in detecting malignant tumors in patients with possible pancreatic ductal adenocarcinomas, DAX, including pancreatic carcinoma and situ. The study also showed that four patients developed post-procedural pancreatitis, but this resolved with conservative treatment. Overall, PLCCB appears to be a safe and effective procedure for identifying malignant tumors in patients with possible DAX.

The simple secret to being crazy successful in everything you do. If you are wondering how people like Elon Musk, Bill Gates, Warren Buffett are unbelievably successful, it's because they use this little secret. If you want to know what it is, stick to the very end of this video. I want to give you a simple formula that anybody can apply to get crazy successful results. Now let me give you an example of it and see if you can start to figure it out. Matthew McConaughey tells a story about when he was working on a movie and in this particular movie they were going through scripts, they were all sitting at a conference table and as they were all sitting at the conference table, Matthew got up, got down on the floor and started doing push-ups to everybody's amazement. You know why he did that? Now I want to share with you another story, a real life story about me and some other people and I won't call out their names but I'll just tell you this that the other day I was talking to somebody on text and they were supposed to send me a couple pictures of something they made for dinner and they said, I'll send it right over. And I waited and waited and waited and the pictures never came and not long after that I was talking to this person's mother and we were texting back and forth and I said, hey, your son never sent me these pictures on this particular item they were making. I really wanted to see them and she says, no problem, I'll send them right over. Now long story short, neither one of them ever sent those pictures. Have you figured out what the one secret is to success? Now if you don't apply the secret to success, you're going to miss a lot of opportunities. These opportunities could be business opportunities, they could be relationship opportunities, they could be friendship opportunities but you're guaranteed to miss out on some things which would lead you to success in many different areas if you just applied this one secret system. Now what is this one secret system? Can you figure it out? Can you figure it out from the push-ups? Can you figure it out from the pictures that weren't sent to me? Can you figure it out? Do you know what it is? Let me share something with you first off and I want you to understand this before I get into the secret. And the one thing I want to share with you is that everything is important. Everything. You know, a lot of people will say, well, that's not that important, I'm not going to worry about it, you know. If I bring something to that party, you know, it's not a big deal if I do, if I don't. You know, hey, if I do a good job on mowing this lawn, it really doesn't matter right now because this is going to grow back anyhow and I'm going to mow it again next week. And there's a certain attitude towards all these things where certain things are important and certain things are not important. Now what would you consider important? I guess maybe rushing somebody to the hospital would be important or, you know, paying your bills every month so you don't get evicted. But why is it certain things are not that important to you? What is the difference? Now I want to share with you some of these really successful people and how they apply this success technique. And the success technique is that everything is important. Every single thing is important because every time you decide to not do something your best, what you're doing is you're taking down your self-esteem just a little bit. Even if nobody else can see what you're doing or when you're doing it, it actually hurts your own self-esteem. And when you're hurting your own self-esteem, what you're actually doing is telling yourself you're not really that good. You don't do things that well. And here's the truth. Everything is important and everything should be done immediately. So both of those things go hand in hand. If something needs to be done, it needs to be done right. It doesn't matter if it's taking out the garbage, if it's cooking dinner, if it's doing a good job, you know, at your work, it doesn't matter. It's all important. And that's the one thing that all these really highly successful people like a Warren Buffett or Elon Musk, they all know that everything is super important. Here's the truth.   Are you fair? Are you honest in every situation?   And maybe they have a big business deal on down the road. But they also see that you don't give that money back to the cashier. And they learn a little something about you in that moment there. They go, wow, he didn't do the right thing in that moment. She didn't do the right thing in that moment. Every single second you're being judged, maybe you're helping out of the charity, maybe you're helping with, I don't know, rescue animals or you're helping with a homeless. And maybe that, you know, possible loved one that you were looking at is watching you and seeing what you're doing. And if you're doing the right thing, they're judging you. They're looking at you going, hey, this person always does the right thing. Hey, this person helps people out. Hey, this person really cares about other people. And they're going to go, that's the kind of person I want to be around.  So could you be missing out on business deals? Yeah, could you be missing out on love? Yeah, could you be missing out on friendships? Yeah, you got to do the right thing at all times. And you've got to do it right away. I'm still waiting for those pictures. I don't think I'll ever get them. But the one thing I know about that individual that didn't send me the pictures is pretty much his whole life. He's never followed through on things. He's had a lot of opportunities. He has a lot of talent. He has a lot of skills. But he never really followed through on things. And that lack of following through has haunted him his entire life. And that day, when he didn't actually send those pictures to me, I looked at that situation. And I thought, well, you know, it's not that big of a deal, I guess, about the pictures. But it was to me. And, you know, then when I saw his mother saw that he didn't do it, and she's like, oh, my gosh, I'll do it. And she didn't do it. I thought, where did he learn that skill from? Where did he learn that lack of not really caring, that lack of not doing what you say you're going to do? Probably learned it from his mom. Now, that's probably a minuscule situation to you. But these little things tend to build up. And they build up and they build up. And as they build up, they become your personality. They become your persona. They become who you are.  No matter what you do, no matter if it's work, if it's relationships, if it's cooking dinner, it doesn't matter. All these things are important. And you got to do your best in all these different areas. Now, I didn't always think this way. You know, when I was younger, you know, I thought, well, some things just don't matter. And I don't care about that. But what that attitude is about, you know, not caring and that thing doesn't matter too much. It's really a degree of laziness. And in many cases, a lot of these things that we say it doesn't matter, I don't have to do my best, or I don't have to do that right now. Many times that situation can get worse. Many times that situation is going to come back again and we're going to have to do it again, or we've done it poorly and we're going to have to do it over so we have to do twice as much work. So actually this attitude of putting things off and this attitude of not doing your best at something actually will cause you to do more work and it'll probably cause you some anxiety. So, you know, if you get nothing from this video, realize that everything does matter. Everything matters. Every single thing you do matters. You got to do your best. And you should do everything when it needs to be done. You shouldn't put it off. If you can apply those two things, like a lot of these really successful people I was talking about, you're going to find that you're going to get more success. You're going to have more opportunities.  Isn't that how you really want to be judged? So I hope you enjoyed this video. I hope it's something that you can take and implement in your life. It's really, you know, I don't want to say it's a small thing because nothing is a small thing, right? But it is, it's a small change that you can do in your personality. It really is. And start applying that to everything. You're going to feel that little twinge, you know, some point today or tomorrow when you have to do something and you say to yourself, ah, it doesn't matter that much. As soon as you hear that in your mind, where you say, well, that doesn't matter that much, you've got to realize it does matter because every single thing matters.  So I don't care about this project because I know I've already gotten an A. Know it all matters. It all matters because what you're doing is you're forming your personality. You're forming what you're going to do on a daily basis. And with that attitude of, well, this doesn't matter because of this, it's going to hurt your personality. It's going to hurt your success in the future. But if you develop that personality where everything matters, I'm going to do the best I can on everything. At the end of the day, you're always going to feel better about that day. You're going to feel better about what you put into that day. You're going to feel better about how you treated people, how you did the right things, how you did your best. And here's a key to everything. If you do your best at everything, you tend to get better at things. If you do a little bit less than what you can do, you tend to get less of a person. If you think about it this way, if you could do pushups, okay? And let's say you could do five pushups. And every day you got down and you did one or two pushups, you'd probably never get to 10. But if you got down and you could do five pushups and you push yourself and you try to do six and you try to do that every single day and you did that five days a week and you did that month in and month out, could you get to 10? Well, you say, well, of course I can because I tried really hard and I pushed my limits. And that's the key right there. You got to try really hard. You got to push your limits in all areas and do it right then. If you apply that, you're going to see more success and more happiness in your life.
