Hey, Bolo Buddies, thanks for watching. Drop my, I just broke my pen in the last video and I dropped the little piece and I was trying to find it when the video started. Sorry, okay. I think I got that from Donna. I think Donna always says that, sorry. She's got me saying it. Oh no. Oh my goodness. Okay, bread and butter. Who wants some bread and butter videos? Bread and butter, Bolo's not videos. I guess it is a video, but anyhow. All right, 23, bread and butter coming your way. Here we go. And be sure to like, comment, subscribe and share. Here's the first one. All right, children's books. I picked these up when they are cheap. I bought a huge box of children's books. I think it was like two boxes actually at a garage sale over the summer and I think they gave them all to me for like $5. So it was more than just this. I've lauded the other ones up. I lauded them up by kind of, if there were certain books like in a series or Disney books or princess books, I kind of do that. Okay, I'll put three or four together depending on how many. But this is a big lot of 38 books. I took a best offer of $20 and the buyer paid shipping on this. So it's a great bread and butter item. I do really well also on Mercari with books. This Xbox Connect, it's an Xbox 360 Connect one. It's got a controller, nine games. I did, it was untested. I don't have any idea if it worked. So I just, I list things untested and I don't want to test them. So I sell them cheap and I usually get them cheap. I think this came from a garage sale. I can't remember which one but I'm guessing I had $5 or less in it and I sold it best offer of 20 bucks plus the buyer paid shipping. So is it a huge Bolo? No, but I'm guessing maybe somebody bought this lot to resell. I don't know, maybe not. I don't know what these games go for each. I didn't want to test them. So I just sold them as a lot. So you gamers, every once in a while these things will pop up in my store but they are untested. The next item are these vintage cake toppers. I picked these up at a garage sale. I was buying some other stuff and she just said to take them. So she kind of threw them in free. I sold these for $15 and the buyer paid shipping. So they're vintage cake toppers. Again, if I wanted I probably could have lauded up just like the motorcycles there. I thought about doing this thing. It says 10 for good buddy. Like it's like a radio, it's vintage. I probably could have sold that separately. Cake toppers are, you know, people look for these when they're doing cakes. So you got the swans and the princess carriage type deal back there. There was some cute stuff in this lot. Those black shoes would be cute for like a wedding, some Christmas stuff, some baby stuff. So yeah, I could have probably lauded them in smaller lots. The next item are these OPA Red Point World War II ration tokens. There's 130 and they come in this little vintage leather purse. These were in there. I'm not sure what these are. Maybe I sold something that was worth a lot of money but they were unmarked. I doubt it, who knows. But this is the little wallet, it's pretty cute. My friend was like, you need to check that and make sure it's not silver. And I don't think it was, but it was leather. And I sold this for $30. I took a best offer of $30. It says $34.99 because I had it auction style or best offer. The first time it went through, it did not sell. So when somebody offered me $30 the second time around, I took it and just was done with it. So those came from a garage sale. I had probably a buck or two in it. Mary Kay Fig Lipstick. Discontinued Mary Kay Lipstick is a Bolo VVV. I have about 36 cents in this. I sold it for $23 plus shipping. The next item are these boxes. There's no games. These are instructions, boxes, booklets, inserts, replacements for the Game Boy, Nintendo. It's just the inserts and stuff. There are no games. So I took a best offer of $15 on this in the buyer paid shipping. Again, this came in a big box lot that I got at a garage sale. And I was good with $15. All right, so my bulk jewelry buy, if you guys have not started watching that series, it's every Monday I purchased 344 pounds of jewelry and I bought it on eBay to sell on eBay. And if you watch the video, I kind of explain how I ended up getting 344 pounds of jewelry off of eBay. So yeah, go check that out.  But, and now I'm doing unboxings and I'm gonna do like gemstone testing and acid testing to see if stuff's gold. I'm gonna kind of learn and kind of take you guys on that journey. But those are every Monday night. So this necklace was one of the items from that lot and I sold this for $25 in the buyer paid shipping. And if you wanna know what I paid for the 344 pounds, you can go check out that, the video where I weigh it because I tell you all that information. The next item is this little vintage mini purse pill box. And I picked this up in a lot of stuff at a garage sale. If this was not broken, I'm guessing I could have gotten quite a bit more for it, but the latch was broken. So I sold it for $8 plus shipping. And I just put broken clasp in the title. Like sometimes people don't go down and read the description. So I will put stuff like that in the title. Like you can't say you didn't see it, it was in the title. The next item are these vintage trifari butterfly earrings. And they are pierced. And this came out of my box from Donna Telebotolino's auctions. And I took a best offer on these for $10. And I paid $25 for the entire box and I have sold so much stuff from it. So making tons of money on that box. The next item are these vintage Barbie skipper ideal clothings. Some are tagged, some are mommy made, some are clones. I sold this for one bid for $19.99 and the buyer paid shipping. Those came from that big Barbie lot that I got at the thrift store. I have a haul video on it. The next item is this vintage Rawlings Playmaker baseball glove. I didn't do that before the video. Did it get clearer? Sometimes I have a thumbprint from closing my laptop and I always forget to wipe it off. Okay, so I sold this glove and I wanna say I sold it for like $35 that was probably in a previous video. The person gets it and they open up a return saying that the item is not as described because they cannot use the glove. It's too stiff. And I'm like, it's a vintage collectible glove. I didn't think anybody was really gonna buy it to use it. So I called eBay. I'm like, what do I do?  And I'm like, no, I'm like, it's an old glove. Like what would I need to check? And I forgot about these strings right here. And then after I had refunded their money, I realized that they returned it damaged. So technically I could have filed a claim or not given them a partial refund because the item was returned to me damaged but I didn't check it. I was like, it's an old glove. Like what could they do to it, you know? And I should have checked it. So my recommendation to you is always check it. I mean, the eBay rep even said, did you look at the glove? And I'm like, no. So my fault, my bad. And just the nerve of them to return it damaged and not tell me that they messed it up. You know, they just said it was stiff and didn't fit. And then they messaged me and they're like, I can't find my refund. And I'm like, well, it's back to your original payment method. And they left me negative feedback. I'm like, seriously? Because I didn't give them their original shipping back, which I'm glad I didn't now because it was damaged. But they shouldn't have opened an item not as described anyway. They shouldn't have got their original shipping back because it was a buyer's remorse case, in my opinion. And that is why I did not give the original shipping. And they opened a claim against me. So the negative feedback was removed by eBay. It did fall under, I can't remember which. I don't know if they said something in the feedback about, I think they said that I didn't return the full amount and on eBay, I didn't have to. You know what I mean? That was one of the things that I was allowed to not return. Am I making any sense? So they removed the feedback. I can't remember what else it said. Either way, I re-listed it. I noted that it was damaged and I took pictures. Let me see down here. Item was purchased and buyer tried to use it and in turn damaged it and returned it. This is a collector's item. It is old and not meant to be used. Please see photos for a condition. So right here, I have a picture showing that it's completely split and right there. So yeah, I just made a note of it and I ended up selling it for $30.80 plus shipping. So I lost a little bit of money but I mean, the glove wasn't in good condition as when the first person bought it but I still sold it for a decent amount and I hope that the person that got it was happy because I haven't heard anything. Oh my goodness, what a mess. And sorry, I told that story so poorly. All right, this little kiddle. I sold this for $12 and I don't know if this is a little kiddle or if it's like a clone because it doesn't look like a little kiddle. I think it's a clone but I don't know what every little kiddle looks like but I don't know, that looks a little weird. So I just put little kiddle clone question mark doll and it's rare because I couldn't find anything that looked like this little girl on eBay at all. So I sold her for $12 in the buyer paid shipping. So somebody wonder, the next item, it's probably like Barbie collectors. Barbie collectors that want the clones. So this is a 1996 pleasant company, American Girl Samantha hat. It's retired, pleasant company is vintage American girl. So if you see pleasant company, definitely pick it up. I sold this hat for $7.50 and the buyer paid shipping. The next item is this magnet. It's a hand stitch magnet. I picked this up in a lot of items. So I probably had 10 cents in it or something. I sold it for $7.75 and the buyer paid shipping. The next item is this vintage Barbie clone fab blue brocade jacket. If you guys see this brocade look, definitely grab it. This one has a hole in it. You can see it right there. It's kind of on the shoulder right here. And it is kind of on the seam. So I think that it can be fixed by somebody who wants to take the time to fix it. This sold for $19.99 and the buyer paid shipping. The next item is this vintage bell point cardigan sweater. It's like a monthly sweater. It's got January, February, March, April, just the different things that happened in the different months like Halloween, November, there's a turkey. Anyway, fun little sweater. I got this for a buck at a, I think it was an estate sale. One of the buttons is loose, well need repaired. I sold this for $20 and the buyer paid shipping. All right, these wood bracelets are also from my bulk buy from eBay purchase. I'm just calling it bulk buy. And these are wood bracelets and I just listed them all together. I sold this for $19.99 and the buyer paid shipping. These Bart Simpson's tops trading cards, I picked these up at a thrift store in a bulk Bart Simpson buy. I have a video on that. If you guys wanna see all the Bart Simpson stuff I got, I've done really well with it. I still have a lot left and I paid $10 for the entire tote full. So I have probably like 10 cents in these. I sold them for $17.60 in the buyer paid shipping. The next item, huge junk drawer, lot of cords, cables, chargers and more for electronics, untested. Sold this for $22 in the buyer paid shipping. The shipping was expensive. I think it went to like California or something crazy. But I'm guessing maybe a reseller bought it. Maybe there's like a cord in here that's, I don't know, worth a lot of money. But I did not wanna mess with this at all. Not my thing. So I was happy to take the $22. Most of this stuff comes from garage sales.  So yeah, whipped berries, Mary Kay discontinued lipstick. Sold this one for $26.40 in the buyer paid shipping. Had about 36 cents in it, I think it was. The next item is this Spode plate. I've talked about these in other videos. I sold another one for $12. This is a lot of nine. I sold these for $35.26, 20 cents and the buyer paid shipping. Here are some more breads from my thrift battle against Donna Telebotolino on Primetime Treasure Hunters channel. If you guys have not seen that, go check it out. I know I talk about it all the time, but it's such a good video. It's so fun. But I purchased a bulk lot of vintage breads and I have done really well with them. You guys have seen them popping up in my videos, my what sold videos, bread and butter for sure. But I got so many of them and I paid $5 for all of them. So definitely a great buy. That's it. That concludes this video. So thank you for watching. Be sure to like, comment, subscribe and share. If you made it to the end of the video, comment. I made it to the end of the video. And as always, I appreciate every single one of you. Thank you for taking time out of your day to watch my videos. I hope you're learning. If you do find one of the Bolo's that you see in my video, take a moment to join my Facebook group and send me a private message and let me know. It makes me feel awesome when people message me and say, hey, I found a toddler dress and I sold it for $200. Or I found some vintage panties and I sold them for this. Or they were new panties, by the way. But there's so many different things that I feature and talk about in my Bolo videos. And when you guys find them, it makes me feel really happy. So join my Facebook group down below in the description. I'm also on Instagram and Twitter. But Facebook's probably the best way to private message me and tell me about it. I wanna hear about it. And if you guys wanna be featured in a featured seller video, you can message me on Facebook also. And what else? Live show every Wednesday, 10 p.m. Eastern Standard Time. I have a featured seller and I share their Bolo's. And then I also do chat, participation from the people in the chat. You guys bring a Bolo, I share it. It gets you exposure to your store or if you have a YouTube channel, it's great exposure that way. So all right, you guys, again, I appreciate you. Thanks for watching. Have an awesome night and I'll see you soon. Thanks for watching.


Good afternoon and welcome everyone. I hope you guys are all enjoying the amazing presentations and sessions. I hope there are going to be many more coming. I'm Saad Malik, the CTO and co-founder of Spectro Cloud, and I'm delighted to be here to talk to you guys about Edge Computing. Edge Computing continues to be one of the hottest transformational technologies and areas of focus for the Kubernetes ecosystem, and we at Spectro Cloud are honored to sponsor this event. I'm thrilled to also announce this dynamic speaker, Arun Gupta, the Vice President and General Manager of Intel. Arun? Yeah, I'm super excited to be here. Thank you Saad for the opportunity. I run the open ecosystem team at Intel, and today we're going to announce something I think that's going to really benefit the entire industry. Alright guys, it's exciting to see the year over year adoption of so many new Edge Computing platforms and projects across so many verticals, everything from healthcare to telecommunications to stores, everyone is moving towards Edge. Now, all these organizations are realizing that by harnessing Edge Computing, you're able to deliver on so many interesting use cases, everything from AI inferencing to digital transformation to being able to run very advanced workloads. The progress we're making is truly awe-inspiring. Yeah, and today, later today, we will be actually showcasing one of our joint customers and really an awe-inspiring story, literally standing outside this room, watch them in action on a joint customer tevel on how they're leveraging this technology. So, Arun, many people have talked to, they always mention that, hey, is Edge the next cloud? Is there an extension of cloud? What do you think about that? Well, yes and no. I mean, if you think about cloud native, it talks about cloud. But does that mean the cloud paradigms are available in the Edge as well? And there are challenges that we need to know. So for example, some of the challenges that our customer tell us on a regular basis is, can a Chick-fil-A restaurant manager debug Kubernetes running on Intel Nuke in their system? Probably not. I hope not. Then the second thing that we are looking at is, what happens when the connectivity is lost? Because end of the day, their business is not running. That's what's going to impact. How do you manage hundreds and thousands of nodes? And then comes the security, the holy grail, that this thing needs to be absolutely secure. So, as much as we would like the cloud and Edge to be an extension of each other, but the paradigms are a bit different. Yeah, and in fact, we connected an independent research where we identified and talked to Kubernetes practitioners and the top three challenges they mentioned was exactly that. It's the aspect of managing at scale, that aspect of security, and it's the aspect of management. So how do you solve this really? We really need to go back to the drawing board. Take a look at the application all the way at the hardware level, all the way integrations app and to the software and have that seamless security across the entire stack. As we say, from silicon to the app, the entire thing needs to be streamlined. Well, the reality is that organization need really embedded security in the entire life cycle, starting from the device, whether it's deployed in a trusted manner. On top of that, you're looking at your application stack, starting from operating system to Kubernetes to integrations to the app over there. Now, when the app is running, is your app secure? Is your app confidential? You know, even when somebody is able to tamper into the device, does the app continue to stay secure? And then, last but not the least, you know, without shoo-horning customers into opinionated stacks, operating systems, and distros, all of that is super important to give them that flexibility. So these requirements led both Intel and Spectra Cloud to join forces and work together to build the first reference solution called a secure edge-native architecture. The goal of Sena is a short term of it. It's not only to help our customers to help the entire industry by advancing, you know, what the requirements are for having a secure edge-native technology. Now, it covers the entire gamut of operation from being able to deploy securely and easily edge environment devices, being able to provision the full stack of applications, everything from the operating system to the Kubernetes and all the application stack and provide the observability on top of that. Now, once the applications are fully up and running, how do you protect the workloads? Whether the workloads are virtualized workloads or container-based workloads providing end-to-end, and then being able to manage these edge environments at scale, whether it's hundreds of environments or thousands of environments. So let's take a look at one of the reference implementations of Sena, which brings the best together from Intel, Spectra Cloud, and other open-source technologies. The solution sits on top of the Intel architecture, which delivers the performance and security capabilities required to run workloads efficiently. Kairos is our open-source project that provides immutable and tamper-proof operating systems. The immutability not only goes into the operating system, but into all the layers from the Kubernetes into the different stacks. Now, Kairos sits on top of the Intel architecture to provide some really interesting secure capabilities. One, it provides secure boot and static measurements using the Intel's TPM. We're also able to leverage Intel's SGX model to provide confidential computing for both workloads of containers and virtualizations. And then all the day-to-management for out-of-the-band updates for your chipsets and firmwares is all done using AMT that Intel provides. On top of this is Palit, the Spectra Cloud's multi-cluster management platform. It provides a unified interface and it provides the management capabilities to be able to operate and manage these environments at scales, even to tens of thousands, without having any challenge there. Now, completing this entire solution is the Intel SmartEdge content. It ready-made sample applications covering different use cases, use cases that cover 5G wireless, to smart manufacturing, to retail, and to end stacks that people can deploy very quickly using our platforms. So you're truly talking about that silicon-to-app, that entire model, and I would really request, as you're walking out or as you're here, there is a press release that went out from Spectra Cloud today. There is a paper copy of that. So take a look at that, it gives you basically what Senna is about and how this is going to change the industry. And just to a ruined point, there's one thing that we can leave you here with that Senna is not just for Intel and Spectra Cloud, we really want to advance the entire industry. It's about being able to look at all the essential requirements of running Edge Compute securely. There are a number of other components we didn't really get into in the Senna architecture. Please download the white paper. It's going to be on the left-hand side, that covers not only the requirements, but more about the reference implementation. If you're interested in trying out the Senna, please look at the link on the right-hand side. It's going to be the Chyros blog that goes into details about running an N2N stack. And I'm super excited. So as you're walking out, the Spectra Cloud booth over there, take a look at the Tevel bot on how it picks ripened fruits and how it identifies those fruits are ripened and how it's leveraging Spectra Cloud for all of that work. On the next booth, there will be Jeremy from Spectra Cloud who will be giving their demo and getting into all the details that you care about who would love to talk to you. On behalf of Intel Spectra Cloud on CNCF, thank you so much and have a wonderful event. Have a wonderful event.


I'm here at the Tilbury Docks today and I'm celebrating 75 years of the Windrush. Now the National Lottery has funded £1.2 million to over 140 community groups celebrating and commemorating the Windrush. All of these portraits are celebrating people within the community that have set up organisations and charities to celebrate the Windrush. I'm coming here and seeing it and just really understanding what it's all about and I was touched because they've chosen me as the artist as well to represent all of these people. The piece is about looking through history really because that's why I've created this wire frame to kind of drag you through and appreciate what's going on in that interconnectedness. So this is based on the same length as the light bolts up with on the Windrush. I'm so honoured to actually be a part of it and to be invited by the Lottery because it's celebrating my mum as well because she's one of the portraits that's on the artwork. What a wonderful creative piece of artwork I thought it was just fabulous. I was really emotional and I thought wow I felt very special. National Lottery funding is super important for the community. Every week national lottery players actually raise around £30 million to go towards good causes around the UK which is a huge amount of money. I think I just love people to remember the Windrush generation and the sacrifices they've made. We continue teaching these stories so that younger children can learn about them and we bridge the gap between generations.


It's two-time runners-up and one-time semi-finalist Nigeria, a bit about scooping the three-point when they go up against one of Europe's top teams, France in the opening match of Group C of this year's FIFA 120 Women's World Cup Finals in Saint-Germain. Head coach Christopher Denjima means no words about his faith in the high-scoring falconet delivering other games and afterwards has he said that he believes that the girls will do Nigeria proud. Denjima is banking on the experience of captain and central defender Uloua Tussin-Demain, the lively midfield orchestrator of Aestal, Oyanes Zide, Debra Abiodun and Adoyina and the ever-portant forward line of Flourish Sebastian, Messi Idoko and Joy Jerry.


But niggas look at white people at the authority and like niggas like a threat. You feel me? So when they go to Vlad and no jumper, anything them white boys ask is a go. They gon' fly over. Maybe they didn't know no better. They not from the culture. White boys can ask these niggas, whatever. What about the other one? What's his name? Bouled kid? Bouled kid, uh, yeah. Same thing?

Because of the young blue and the God situation. You know what I mean? To me that's some... He didn't tell us that he wanted to be taken off. He just said that what they have going on is messing up his stuff. Yeah, but what it exactly was messing up exactly what it is, is the fact that now Boosi is saying, I don't want to be on nothing involved with the empire. And he's not necessarily mode three, it's empire. So now Boosi is on a record or two on the new mode three album. And then they got to take him off from guessing.  Can he just hold it back to hope that they get cool one day and be like, okay, we can put it out now? That ain't real, man. When mode three being dead like that, me knowing his family trying to eat, you know what I mean? You know what, y'all go ahead and put that out, man. That's for my pot in the legacy.  You know what I mean? Yeah, he ain't, you know what I mean? So I mean, we rock with Boosi. Dallas got number love for Boosi. Mode three people love Boosi. You feel him? Mode three family rock with Boosi. We hoping to have Boosi at the next mode three day. You know what I mean? So everybody rock with him, bro. But Boosi got to grow up a little bit. I'll tell him then. Come on my platform. I'm going to tell you, Boosi. Bro, it's time to grow up a little bit. Bro, it's time to grow up a little bit.

I don't know if you've seen that episode where Pimp and Kim want on from Vlad because he mentioned he mentioned his name, and he was trying to boycott Vlad because of the whole situation of Boosi being locked up. Boosi and Craig, that I was interviewing him. So, you know, a lot of time people give the journalists a rough time. What do you think about like like the Blads and the no jumpers being that they not they don't look like us But they report on them. There's no different from the police Talk to them. Just like they think about it when a white man.  You feel me? So they go to Vlad and no jumper anything. No white boys. That's a good little flower Maybe they didn't know no better. They're not from the culture white boys can ask these niggas, whatever What's about the other one? What's his name bootleg kid bootleg kid?  I'm like my man.     Yeah, I just a few niggas.

I've always growing up I would they've always told me all the people I said you don't lie on certain things You don't


Russian FSB instructed to kill Prigozin. Kirillov-Budinov, chief of the main intelligence directorates of Ukraine's Ministry of Defense, believes that after the attempted rebellion, the Russian Federal Security Service FSB was assigned to kill Yevgeny Prigozin, the leader of the Wagner Group. We cannot talk about their profound influence on Russia's war against Ukraine because all these events lasted for a very short time. However, some damage was caused to the Russian Aerospace Forces. Secondly, we do not expect that Wagner Group will appear in Ukraine as a separate entity that performs its own operations, and I believe that this factor is quite important for us. We know that the task of killing Prigozin was assigned to the FSB. Will they succeed? Time will tell. Either way, all potential assassination attempts won't be quick. It will take them some time to develop the respective approaches and reach a stage where they will be ready for a large-scale operation. But I would like to emphasise that this is a big open question. Will they be able to do this? Will they dare to carry out this order? Budinov said in an interview for The War Zone, he added that any actions aimed at destabilising Russia from the inside are beneficial for Ukraine.


was Ethelstan, the first king of the English from 927 to 939 AD, gay. In the new last kingdom film on Netflix, seven kings must die. King Ethelstan is depicted as being in a gay relationship with one of his advisors. But is there any historical basis to this, or is it just woke nonsense that has been inserted into this film? To be clear, I don't have any issue with any historical figures being gay, or anyone at all, I really couldn't get less. The only issue I do have is when woke politics are inserted into films, TV series for no reason, especially when they're historically grounded TV series, films in general. So in this instance, there's no historical basis that King Ethelstan was gay as such, although it's not quite so straightforward as is usually the case. Ethelstan is known to not have been married and not to have had children, leading to many speculations about what the reasons are for this. In a 2020 interview, Bernard Cornwell, who's the author of a series of books, The Last Kingdom is based on, called The Saxon Stories, details why he decided in his books to make Ethelstan a gay character. History records that he never married, which is unusual when a king, because of the desire to leave an heir, and also that he liked to decorate his hair with golden ringlets.  It's a choice that hasn't pleased all my readers, but I was happy with it. So the decision to make King Ethelstan a gay character isn't completely unfounded, although it is unknown as to the precise history around us and the documentation isn't completely clear from that time. Obviously there could have been many other reasons, outside he's simply been gay as to why he wasn't married and didn't have any children. It could have been infertile for instance, or various other reasons of that nature. But what's your thoughts? Please let me know in the comments below. Ethelstan himself is considered to be the first king of England by many historians, but it should be made clear that numerous previous generations, including Alfred the Great, and previous subsequent generations were instrumental in the idea of England and the creation of England itself. King Ethelstan won numerous battles in the unification of England, including against the Viking Kingdom, centred on York, known as Scandinavian York, or the Kingdom of Jorvik. After King Ethelstan's death in 939, the Vikings retook York, and it wasn't reconquered by the English by the Anglo-Saxons until 954 AD. This speaks to the back and forth nature of the unification of England. Ethelstan's most famous victory was at the Battle of Brunenburg in 937 AD, which is the final battle in the last kingdom film itself. Ethelstan the King of England fought against their alliance led by Olaf the King of Dublin, Constantine II, King of Scotland, and Owen, King of Strathclyde. With Ethelstan emerging victorious, and a battle that many say was fundamental for English nationalism and England as a state, as a nation state that later evolved into. As for the film itself, The Last Kingdom, Seven Kings Must Die, recently uploaded to Netflix, as for a very quick review of the film, basically it's a decent watch, and it's a decent way to wrap up The Last Kingdom series in general, as I presume this will be the final installment. They've done five, five series and then the film I believe, which obviously is a significant kind of chunk. So Last Kingdom TV series in general I've really enjoyed. I would highly recommend it if you haven't seen it before, particularly the first couple of series. The Last Kingdom TV series in general, as well worth a watch you would say if you haven't seen it already, centered around Uhtredd, a semi-mythical-historical figure, based on a somewhat historical figure, but then lots have been added to it. But his character's fascinating and it's a really interesting way to explore the dynamics of the kind of Saxons against the Pagans, the Christian Anglo-Saxons against the Pagan Vikings and the invasions in the Danelow period, and the Viking presence in England, at a time point Alfred the Great had the vision of England as a nation, and Uhtredd has a kind of central character that's kind of divided between the two worlds. So it's really fascinating from that perspective, really a good way to explore that dynamic in England at that point. And yeah, this latest film is a good way to kind of round off the series in general, and it's a relatively well-made film. The stand-out for me in relation to the TV series and the film is Uhtredd, the actor that plays Uhtredd, Alexander Dreaming, I think it is, I think he's brilliant in that role. The supporting cast, as well, do a very good job. Mark Rowley, who's actually, I think he was born in Paisley in Scotland, plays Finnan, one of the kind of, you know, Sidemen of Uhtredd. He's one of my favourite supporting characters. In the spirit of Deadpool, I would give it three avocados out of five. It's not the best film you've ever seen, but it's definitely worth a watch. And hopefully we can explore the wee bit of the history behind it. And it's listed based on the historical themes, major points in the film are relatively accurate. Obviously, they play quite well on the Olaf, you know, his alliance, or basically to unify some of the kings of Scotland, some of the kings of the Isles, Constantine II, I think it is in this film, and various other elements, to rebel against the Anglo-Saxons. Obviously, the last one of the last scenes in the film, or the last battle scene of the film anyway, is the Battle of Brennambur, which is a real battle obviously, and that's the defining moment. So the historical basis of the film is relatively true. Fair enough about my thoughts, more importantly, what are your thoughts? Have you seen the film? If so, please let me know in the comments below, and what did you make of the historical accuracy of the film? But have you ever wondered what would have happened if the Anglo-Saxons had invaded or migrated into England? To find out, please click here.

As the lead member for Community Resilience Health and Well-Being at South Cambridge District Council, I've recently been in touch with most of the district's COVID volunteer groups, either by phone or email, to thank them for their considerable efforts so far during the coronavirus pandemic. When I spoke to them, it seemed that the considerable efforts to control the spread of the virus were working. Indeed, the reports coming back from the volunteers were that after a period of intense activity, they were seeing a period of stability and reduced demand for their help. Since then, and it's only been a couple of weeks ago, the picture has changed considerably. We're now seeing a worrying trend nationally of increasing infections. In South Cambridgeshire, infection rates have been relatively low, but we mustn't be complacent because one case can become hundreds in a matter of days, so we all need to play our part to help check the virus' spread. Latest figures show that in the last 10 days there have been 14 confirmed cases of coronavirus in South Cambridgeshire, but that may not be the true number. Could be well higher because as we know there have been some issues with people getting to tests. This week we've heard the government's chief scientific advisor warning that the UK as a whole could face 50,000 cases a day in October without any action. This is why it's vitally important that we all play our part to protect ourselves, our friends and our loved ones. Just because we have so far been spared the worst of the pandemic, we shouldn't assume that this is going to continue. We all need to play our part to help slow down the spread of the virus. This week the council are holding meetings with the Covid volunteers and parish councils around the district that we have done so much to help vulnerable and shielding residents to get through the lockdown. Every one of the volunteer groups has indicated that they will continue to do what is necessary to help their fellow citizens. It seems that the response going forward could look quite different though to the one we saw earlier in the year because of course there may be fewer people able to help since quite a few have now returned to work. We're also speaking with supermarkets to see how home grocery deliveries can be managed to ensure that the most vulnerable do not again have to visit the stores and put themselves at increased risk of infection. We'll also be providing a link between the Covid response teams, countywide and nationally to make sure that the important information is conveyed to the right people in a timely way. One thing is clear. All of us are going to have to follow the government experts advice and stick to the rules if we're to have any chance at all of avoiding the imposition of more severe local lockdown rules. And most importantly to avoid an increase in infections and deaths, especially to the vulnerable and to the elderly. It's up to all of us to take this coronavirus pandemic seriously and the steps to contain it seriously. Our actions now may well decide what kind of Christmas we get. Please take care. Thank you for listening. Bye for now.

What is your go-to meal? Okay.  Yeah, I do My go-to meal. I think to make, um, I really like brown rice pasta with kale and broccoli I was like my go-to go-to um Yeah, I feel like that actually just is my overall go-to I don't really make anything else or I do make other things, but or I'll do salmon and vegetables Those are like my two Go-to and I make my salmon in my air fryer, which is my favorite thing ever Tim's on joining a new church school club whatever alone um Never be the person that's like, oh, they didn't talk to me because like 9.9 99999 times out of 10 you also didn't talk to them I think it's pretty rare for people to actually just like straight up ignore you. So I think um Just talk to people like people for the most part I like trying to figure it out and like see if you're new and ever depending on where you're at But I think just like literally just go talk to people. I know it sounds Kind of simple slash like maybe a little bit intimidating But honestly like you might even meet someone else who's new Who is scared to how to deal with sucky roommates. Um, okay, so I've For the most part actually have really good roommates. Um Yeah, I don't know I think it's totally dependent because I've never had to share a room with someone or anything with that I've always had my own room But I think just handle it in the most mature way possible and like your roommate does not have does not like owe you anything socially You don't have to be like best friends Like they don't have to bring you somewhere Whatever like I think people go into things when they're like doing their whole life with their roommate And like that is where it gets tricky because it's like you can't have a life outside of them And then one person's like hey like I love you But like maybe I do want like my own thing and that person like thinks that you hate that you don't have I'm saying, um, I think it's just healthy to have a life outside of them and just like be really respectful Um, nothing's that deep don't be too don't get mad about things like Um, just talk like my roommate now be like, oh hey can we clean the dishes and it's like literally not the big It's literally not a big deal at all. So least there a thing about la. I love la Um, I think the least there a thing I just don't really love how spread out a lot of things are just in the sense of like I don't like that I'm not like five minutes from my friends if that makes any sense Um, my family's not here But like it's not really anything about the city is just like I wish that all of my friends Will did one neighborhood till we were really close But well, you don't realize by la is that people can live like an hour from you like morgan for instance at night lives 15 minutes for me, but During the day it's like an hour drive or can get up to that. So thoughts on you season two So I finished you season two. I personally loved it. I actually like the second season a lot Um, I just like I'm curious to see how the show Like where the show goes because I think it's really repetitive But also like I love it and I like that the end was like a little bit of a twist So like it's maybe not going to be the same thing.
