st starting. But I don't want it to be like this. Well, you don't have a choice right now. You're not in control. You know that? You're not in control. It's all good. Yeah, it's really good. We're out of here. I got it all over here. There you go. She's gonna put it right in your face. Alice. Alice, I'm pretty. Be haze. Those are pretty. Kurt has got the right attitude. He's wearing a strong face. Kurt's not looking. They're bigger than me. They're pretty beautiful. How bad did that picture come out? Lovely. She's not got it all in place for now. I didn't get a lovely one there else. Oh, I got a good one there. That's not good. I can't believe it. Oh, that's great. See, that's great. Alice, that will mean the world to me. And you've done a lot of captain's deeds as Chris did upon that scaffolding. These are gonna be a serial. Let's get to the numbers in the end, don't you? Yeah. That could be it. Yeah, that is it. I said you went for it. Oh, my God. Tell us how it goes. Put these back up for the note in your face. But I think there's some of the scaffolding on my head. That was just so embarrassing. You didn't have to do that. They were gonna mess with you. I know, I've been out on a plank before. I don't like it. I've been to that little bucket here about somewhere. That's great. You should take that up for my buddy, Dash. I am not gonna be out now. I just...   I'll be careful. No! You start to shake and then it starts to shake. Don't you dare. I would start to shake. Oh, there we go. What? I can go straight on. No! I'm only access to you. No! We want your announcement in ahead of Lieutenant Governor... I've got that longer than he has. Those mirrors? No, I guess somebody's gonna stand up and say something. Just in there. He's about 20. Jesus. You've got a refrigerator. Did you see that page on the ground? No, I didn't. Oh, my God. He was bringing me here. I just wanted to see him and all the sounds out in China. I wonder if so. I thought I'd turn it all in. No, you know. What? Just emails. That's a 400-year-old. Thanks. The sound was on just now. If you weren't getting married, how old were you? 65.   You know what you got to put up with? No. I think he knows what he's getting into. If we don't buy now, we will. I love Eric's reaction. What? What's Chris's reaction? I should probably save that information. You probably want to see his face. Yes. It's lovely news. It's not what I was expecting this morning. March 7th. March 7th. Is it really March? No, I know. We're inviting 180-plus. No. And we're all very small. And we're all going to come up and premiere buses. Yes. I'm not dead yet. Oh, my God. Oh, no. That was so overwhelming. I know. I was thinking that on the way in this one, how overwhelming it was. I saw those buses turn in. I just knew it was hard. And it was pretty teary. I saw that. Where are you getting married? We're looking at a restaurant down in Rockingham. It's a small venue. We can always pour a wall of the dorm and dining all at once. It's got a really nice kitchen. There you go. And now Snick is going to be the justice. Wow. That's great. Poor Phil is so new to this. Why is it scary? Holy cow. Yeah, now what? Family wants to donate 2 million pounds to me. We all get that. Yeah. I've already spent a million of it. That's great. We used to get those all the time. My relative has passed away. Are you going to bring this money? No, I haven't heard of text yet. Oh, you texted me, right? Yeah. I need your help. Thank you so much. Great. Okay. Phil, did you get a question? That was really helpful. Can you answer me a question? Oh, um, how are we going to... What just arrived? Maybe you should go back and read it. Maybe it's from another job. Where do you go? What just arrived? I took a picture and I wrote to him, just arrived, and then he writes back, what just arrived? I love grand. Are you kidding me? Maybe you forgot. Is it another boyfriend? The sensory room in Springfield is being built out in the case worker office. You tell me that that's not... Okay, so it's not in A. It's not in A, it's just outside A. Do you know where the one is in CRCF? No, I don't know. Huh, okay. Is there another job? Dear? He was juggling it. I think there's another job. Did he not get the picture at the same time? He did. I know. Is it just arrived? What just arrived? And then I just sent him the other picture and he's holding it. Anyway, let's get back to the joint decision. It's hers. It's mine. What's the status with Woodside? We don't know, but we're not going to know. What's going to happen with Woodside? Is it a secret? No, it's going to be a long process to figure it out. It's beyond this committee. It's going to be what? Beyond this committee. It's a policy decision in terms of juveniles and where they're going to be held. And it's an issue that... I said the flowers are pretty cool. But it's some juvenile detention part of DOC. Isn't that our policy? Well, no, it's DCF. Woodside is under DCF, not DOC. And then this ties in to juvenile going points and it ties into youthful offenders. So there is a little bit that we're going to get involved in, I think. I don't know. On the house side, Women's Services Committee is going to be the hub of Woodside issues. And they're going to... Judiciary will be working on it as well because you're going to be dealing with youthful offenders. And then everything... Of course, the juvenile delinquents come through the courts. And, you know... You've got to figure out if your census is going to be four or five kids at any point in time, where are they going to be held? So they're going to be in a hotel room with somebody in somebody's office. I mean, all of these kids are going to have... They need to be placed somewhere. What's that somewhere going to be? The decision is made. Also, appropriations will be involved in this because the budget address from the governor will include zero for Woodside. The fact of July 1st. Well, we went through this with the Windsor correctional. So, you know, they zeroed it out in fact of July 1st. But then it got extended six more months before the facility was closed. Same dynamics could happen here in Woodside. The other piece that we'll play in, we don't know we'll have to start in the house because it will really be a decision in the budget. And they do the general fund budget for FY 21. I think I'll put any money in Woodside. That's another piece working with the Human Services Committee. So some of that is out of our daily work. And then you've got Senator Sears who's really involved in this too. So there's forces out there in the building that we're not going to stay in control of. So we're not going to know. We're in a way to seek. Which then impacts if you look at Woodside for Secure Residential. That's in terms of policy but in terms of institutions and construction and things like that. We can't reallocate the money until we know what we're doing. We can't go forward with Secure Residential if that's going to be one of the sites to know. And we're not going to know that until May. We're not going to know that until May term. Because what's going to happen is we'll have a proposal from our Patients Committee upstairs for how much money from Woodside for FY 21. It could be for 3 months. It could be for 6 months. It could be for 9 months. Then you've got the policy piece in terms of where they're going to go. How many do they have in there now? I don't know if we have today. Do you have any changes? So those are policy questions that are out of our purview. Because when I talk to Ken Schatzman over here in December and he says that only happened one day. So I just wondered about how many were in there. Well, if there was a situation there in December where there was a juvenile two juveniles what, 15 and 16? Yeah. They entered into a grandmother's house and they were being charged as an adult. And they were housed at Woodside depending on it. They're charged as an adult. So then where we come in on a situation like that what they're thinking is well maybe they could house that juvenile rotten correctional facility that would be separated by sound and separation. Sound and sight separation. So my question is do we really want our juveniles to be driven to a correctional facility? Yeah. Look at that one from St. John's Rary that was at Woodside. They raised so much havoc. They put it in I think rather than I mean that's maybe where we get involved in something like that if they're going to be housed in a correctional facility. Maybe where we get involved. But we don't have a decision. We're not part of that policy decision per se about Woodside and whose house there. But those decisions are going to have real ramifications on how we move forward. So we don't know. So it's really important to pay attention to what happens in the hallways. A lot of thoughts. I don't want to put them out right now. Does that make sense Kirk? Yes. So it's a big we don't know. Just say it when we close to answer. Is here today gone a month? Basically. So I had a different question. Are we done with Woodside? No. You know I noticed the JFO presentations this December. That there was some special remarks made about DOC's budget. And so what about the special remarks? They always and I remember last session Kirk had said looking at DOC budget. We got to see a little bit of that. I don't know. I know there's a lot on this committee's plate. But I noticed it just because you know there's a talking about that how that budget is and with justice reinvestment and some of the policy stuff that's probably going to be recommended and seeing some of the preliminary recommendations that some of them are around finances and budgeting. Would it be helpful? I would, if we're going to tackle that it would be helpful to better understand DOC's budget. We can try. It would be good to do. I will just every time we have really gone into detail because they don't have a great way to present it. They present it in the world of appropriations and we don't understand that presentation. You know when Stephanie Barron comes in here it's a different world who can't follow it. He can't follow it. And Matt is gone. Matt he's gone. I moved to a private job. They're in turmoil. I know they are in turmoil. This is not to add to the turmoil it's really just to be able to be a step ahead of some of the decisions that we're going to be faced with under funding. And put it down. I mean JFO, I don't know if JFO can put it in simple terms because what we've had in the past they just give us the documents they give upstairs. I don't know if it would be worth it to have Mary come in. Mary Hooper, who's our Mary? I am. It's me and Mary.  No it's Mary Hooper and maybe me and Felicia. Maybe if you two and Mary Hooper sat down. Could we ask Mary to give us a presentation on the DOC budget in a way that we can understand? That may be tough for her to have that amount of time to do that. That's why I'm thinking if you two reached out to Mary Hooper and said hey we really want to understand DOC's budget can you help us figure out how we can do this. I've also got to reconnect with energy and technology to make sure I'm not missing anything on the integrated eligibility because I was a liaison up there as well. We're going to be looking. Dan Smith is coming in this afternoon. Maybe you could let Tim Bricklin know that we're taking testimony from Dan Smith. I think that's Thursday afternoon. That's tomorrow afternoon. Let Tim Bricklin know that. That's committee assistant. I do. I can't hear that. Who? Steve Whitaker. Oh Steve Whitaker? That's right. You know he mostly sits outside of this restroom. Wait. What are we doing with him? Nothing. Dan Yale's notes as committee assistant for energy and technology and technology. He's trying to track. I don't know if he's caught anybody else yet but he wanted to track down our committee to discuss why we hadn't done the sound renovations yet. We're going to get into that. We're going to get into that. You ought to have a better idea. You let us know yesterday. You let us know yesterday. We're working on it. He was in the chamber right after I got there yesterday morning on 7.38. Pulling out microphones. He was? Yes, claiming for the world to hear that we weren't doing our job. Good. We'll be able to find out if we're doing our job or not from the outside. So what else are folks here inside? The inside. This afternoon after the floor, Kurt's going to give us a present today. If we get off the floor? I think we are today. Tomorrow maybe, I don't know. I tell you so far we've been annoyed to pay female lead behind us and then we'll have a better feel. I don't know if she's ready for the senate to go and be a little variety. Medical monitoring? Just to have some leverage. Was he doing that? No, my feeling that I got yesterday from folks is it's going to be a little while. On the medical monitor? On the area of the folks. Kurt's going to go over this afternoon with us about all the story that he did. How much time do I have? Five minutes. Where are you? What was the feeling? Because we weren't sure how long we were going to go on the floor. If we're off the floor quickly and we come in, we'll start with you. And then, this isn't on the schedule, but it just came into my mind. Phil and I, and I think which we got an email this morning from the government operations about reports, maybe we could just quickly go through that. That doesn't involve, that's where do we still need these reports and do we repeal them? And we can do that this afternoon. So if you can get that document posted to our webpage and then we can quickly just go through that. Because that doesn't take too much because we have to report back. I think that's by the 15th of 17th. Just get that off our plate. The other thing too, I haven't heard of anything yet. If there's anything in budget adjustment upstairs in appropriation that impacts our world, we might be receiving something from approves. Out of state, that's, we'll have to schedule that in real quick. The retreat? They're upstairs right now in health care. They said they wanted to close a quarter of the beds. Well, that's why we need to ask at least Sarah and somebody else. Sarah. There's somebody to talk about this. Yeah, we had just for information of the process. Nothing we can do. Well, if we start taking out the commissioner, we're going to need somebody here for the retreat. Absolutely. He's upstairs. He's upstairs. So, what did folks feel about this morning's testimony? There's a lot of loopholes and in those loopholes some of our inmates are definitely falling into them. I should also think it will be important to hear from other than DOC. The advocates who work here. Yeah, they work here on Friday at 10. Friday at 10. Where are we? Yeah, we just work that through from all the way. From whom? The women's network, whatever it's called. It would also be good to, you know, you talked about the sort of the kind of notification network that you alluded to that broke down. It might be good to hear from some of those folks, too. There's no rights. Well, I think one thing, too, that was interesting was the culture.  And that's how I have to report it. And that's true outside of a correctional facility. So, when you're dealing within a correctional facility it's even worse because you've got somebody who's got power and control over it. You're being, you know, but I think it is important to find out. And I keep saying we need the balance here. Are those sexual offenses that occur within the male facilities being reported to the advocates to process rights or whatever? Is that also being reported or not? And to understand what happens when that is reported? What's their standing and how does it look like? Would we be able to hear from the prisons of Bungsman not talking about kind of a general take of her or his you know, what's coming to him or her? The who? Priam Bungsman. Bungsman. I believe there is, I think, in reading some of this that I think there was there's supposed to be there's supposed to be specifically Priam Bungsman. I believe so. I haven't had a chance to read some of that. Was it in the rules document? It was this morning. Now the federal rules. Was it the federal rule piece? It's got to be. I believe so. And then, you know what, that may be the gal that I was talking to this morning. Here? No, she's with the moderation. Right, but they may be acting as a general. They actually, it's a creation of one. But who does it go to now? It could be someone like someone in the DOC period because I was thinking when Bungsman would be a step back from, yes, which is important to hear. So the conversation that occurred in the hall at our break with the DOC folks and Phil and myself was when the DOC was saying, you know, there's so many different parts of the Priam that it would be really good to break down those different parts. So that's what we're going to do. We're going to do a bigger overview with DOC and then break it down. I said, let's start with the auditing because there's many members that are looking in those reports and I said, let's start with that. And I've asked them to send to Phil, Butch and me those breakdown topics that they deal with are part of the Priam and the start was just having them do that broad overview and then get into the auditing. And we can do that next week. But on Friday at 10 when I have the Women's Network in it because they're the advocates the diva, the domestic violence folks who are going into the women's facility, they are not going into the male facility. People are just thinking it's only the women. And it's not.  I mean they are preyed upon in the correctional facilities by other inmates. I mean let's be honest about it. I think it's also disproportionate that they're party reporting how much attention they're giving to children and not looking at the severe laps at some other facilities.  Yeah. It is happening. It is happening. I'm not going to deny it. I don't know the specifics by any means that's happening. Look what happened down in Windsor with the male that was fraternizing with an inmate and it was in the papers you didn't see anybody sitting in a commuting room screaming and yelling I don't remember anybody doing that. And that was pretty serious. So, any other thoughts? I'd like to look at the training of corrections officers. Can I say something to that? So I've been sitting here for a long time wondering why every time that I say you ought to be training corrections officers at our state training facility and not off on the boondocks somewhere. And I get this bunch of bull crap saying well we can't, they won't accept us it's too difficult it's out of the way but now they're where St. John'sburg Linda and they were down in Waterbury and whatever so they're up there training under their own supervision without looking nobody else oversight of and they're on the criminal justice training council they're on the government's committee they had their well Heather is I think Vice Chair which is in Pittsburgh and I'm not advocating this for Pittsburgh but it's a statewide training facility that has capacity and we've heard, I've heard we don't have a cell down there big deal they built an indoor shooting range they built a takedown facility in a Pittsburgh and they built that takedown facility they did it under me so those kind of excuses don't cut it and they're living in rented facilities in London, they don't have on-site housing so all those arguments are out the window other than we just want to do it ourselves well they were also when we moved close down the Dale facility in Waterbury and moved the women to Windsor they took over that space complex for training and then when Irene happened they moved out training is definitely an issue but I think hiring and recruitment is a huge issue too and then when I did my little summer study program this summer all I heard from over and over and over from the CEO was we're just getting killed by overtime and they don't have the time to see their families and they know who wants to do that and then you can't really this afternoon this is short notice but we've got we're probably going to have more time this afternoon than we had initially thought maybe you and Kurt could also talk about that because Kurt you did some shadowing of correction officers so you know just in the same with you Carl because you did some real work would you see this and we can have those conversations this afternoon talking about shadowing Sandy Hoskin you should go shadow for a day and I won't wait in that Sandy look at you and me nobody's ever going to think that I'm going to be a correction officer you're going to be a correction officer so maybe shadowing is not the term she's but it was a good thought but the house so I'm sure you were way more convincing than I may have been I don't think anybody was so is it lunchtime? yes what was it?


Hello, thank you for joining me. I'm in Erlum today. I've found some semaphore signals now. As you can see we're actually standing on a road not a railway line But there's a sign there says the station. That's exactly where we go. I'm going to Erlum Railway station And you can see also it says Erlum there and that is the station approach road up there But we're not going to walk along the station approach road We're going to go a much more exciting way. I've discovered something really quite exciting and just to start it off Someone has made a pump truck out of wood and metal and put it onto a little narrow-gauge track So that's really like that. I think it's really cool and It kind of introduces where we're going both the semaphore signals and the pump truck. We're going here The station park now this is a really cool little linear park that takes us up to the railway station If you have a look up there you can actually see the station park all of that is with nails So someone's hammered a load of nails in to make letters, which I think is quite cool. So so we go up here We're going to see some quite exciting things on our way to Erlum station and Erlum station itself is going to be very exciting. So let's walk up the path and see what we find So if you're wondering where the railway is It's just over there behind that building runs across there now I'm not entirely sure exactly how it works out But I know at some point Erlum station has been recited to a higher level So what we'll see in a minute, we should be able to see where I think possibly the original railway station was But let's first enjoy more of the walk down this path. It kind of goes up and down a bit Clinging on to the edge of the bank I think this is one of the most exciting approaches to a railway station we've ever discovered I've just seen something rather amusing head in the tree has a bird's nest now Nothing that unusual about a bird's nest look at this one The net the net the nest sorry It's made of barbed wire and the bird. It's made of metal. I think that's really cool And if you look there's secateurs and he's giving like a piece of metal to the secateurs To feed the babies. So what I'll do I'll get a clearer picture and I'll post that in Now So I've just seen the picture so you can see it better because it's hard for the camera to pick it up I think that's a really cool little piece of art It's another metal bird on the tree up there see that that bird's made out of metal I like that someone some artistic person has had quite a cool idea and they've kind of put their art together I'm not sure To East Midlands Railways class 158. It's probably on a Liverpool to Norwich Services. Yeah, someone with their artwork has kind of put together Some of the art that forms this part So I think the original railway a bit lower To see where the park will come to that in a minute how it kind of goes out to where Below the bridge is that must have been the original railways. I understand at some point Erlen station was Recited to a higher level. I'm not sure the exact reason for that is so anyone who knows Wants to comment You're welcome to do so now This is getting more exciting Because as we come down here Going back to the railway thing. You can see they've kind of made a railway themed path with a turntable, but Look at this It's like it's some cool little fairy tale house in reality that someone's made here, and I'm not sure is that me But to me that looks like the front of a steam locomotive Don't think anyone's at home No one seems to come into the door Sort of on the artwork of the station, I think that is really cool. Oh look it's kind of like you can see inside Nice fire and candles So yeah, that is so cool. I like that little part that's Something just completely different. I've never been to a railway station that has a heart like that before that is you know That I'd say that is unique and I think we are possibly standing on the original railway track because if you look there That appears to be a bridge abutment. I might be completely wrong So if I am then you know do correct me, but that's the current railway So yeah, I'm not entirely sure on that one, but That is so funny that there's a little fairy tale cottage on the way to a railway station Here's like a turntable There's like another door there and there's a window. It's like that's like another funny house. So, um, right Let's go up the steps. Let's face this. I was going to face out of a rake in a space rake in a yeah rake in a space That's cool We need more railway stations with parks like this. Oh look you can see inside the house or It's an idea Tromploi of the interior Right, let's go up the stairs and let's go and find Erlen railway station if you're enjoying this video, we've got more interesting things to see as we go up these steps There's actually like a little Some of you who watch my videos regularly will know I like lookout towels, especially when we go to like Well, it's not lookout towel Level with the road We can look down Clearly see the turntable and the railway themed path. We can see where we've come from We've come all down See what a small area. I'm pretty much a one-in-one slope It just kind of shows you that you can pretty much have a park Anywhere you want really. There's not really anywhere. You can't do something Exciting and arty and have like a a nice cool park. Right. We're now heading towards the railway Station and it's a really really nice railway station Well, we're going to see any trains pass through we should do But before that We come to something even more exciting Just see in the shape this isn't it, but this is also exciting in the shape of buffers There's like another station park sign. So it's pretty much new open to commemorate the visit of Her Majesty's Royal Highness the Duke of Gloucester to Erlen station on the 8th of May 2019 It's less than a year old but like I said about the nails see how it's made out of nails I think that is really cool really like that But getting more exciting We have a good train and it's steam hauled as a steam locomotive with some wagons When we go to Eastern Europe we quite often find Pimp locals but in this country you don't see so many of them That's because a lot of them are at heritage railways and I would rather see them out working But this is just such a nice Example of a little heritage display. I think this is you know I'd like to think one day the local could go off and run again And they could bring another industrial local here. Let's just have a look at the wagons. We've got this one This is like one that would have carried molten slag. You can see How it's kind of gone off up there, but this would have actually chipped if I'd been standing here I'd have been literally burned away There's a tanker Then there's a typical, you know, five-bank wagon and then here's the loco Now to me it looks like a peck-it loco It's an 040 so it's only got four wheels Number 2027 so I assume that's its works number It's called Erlen If anyone knows a bit more wants to tell me You know you're welcome to comment So really nice to see steam A peck-it loco So very nice If anyone knows where she was before she came here Because I'm getting the impression she probably has only been here since May last year If you do know what to comment and tell me Then again, you know, please do comment and tell me I'd love to hear more information Right now let's go to the station itself It's a lovely old station building It's built by the Cheshire Alliance Committee in the 1870s This station opened But what they've done looks to me Like they've made it into a pub So I can go and have a pint Because I have got a bit of time Admittedly I only came to this railway station For the sake of coming to this railway station I've actually been into Erlen There's a lot of information there About the history Which of you come here You can read in your own time Here's the railway station here That's half free And there's a train to Liverpool, 1606 I need to be on the one We're going to Look at this What a great railway station To have such a nice Outdoor area That's going to look inside as well But I'm just going to spend all Some of the evening sitting here for a pint Can we get in? Must be great Look at these Stationary engines They're really cool, look at that I really like that So this is, to me Like a perfect railway station We need more railway stations With cafes and railway themed cafes Like that And if you just have a look across the platform There is a rather nice mural You can see a big mural Of the bridge over the Manchester Ship Canal If you get on the train go that way Half over it Let's have a look up here So let's just have a look up here There's an old single box It's a children's play area And it's called Platform 9 and 3 quarters And there's a steam loco It's called James And if you have a look In there there's some more semaphore signals There's also some mile posts There's a signal lever In semaphore signals themselves And here is a signal box Which again I think is really nice To see a preserved signal box So let's just have a look at the front Of the railway station And I think it's time That we went in And I got a pine I love having a pine at a railway station I don't like to pine anywhere else You can't beat it So let's just go in And see what's inside So this must be the entrance If not it's round I can't get in that way I think the main entrance Is on the platform So we're going to go around there And there And let's go and find our way To actually have to walk on to the platform To Go to this pub Which is quite cool I'd love to spend, if I knew a steam train was coming here I'd just come in and spend all evening Drinking till it arrives Let's get this done Let's get a windy house Let's get inside There's some more interesting Mystery Museum Mystery Museum for admission Be even better Time to let you have a look around That's a gradient post Let's go up there And see what we find What a brilliant railway station Winnie the Pooh railway station Like this So we're kind of up in the loft now And there's more railway armour It's very nice I really really like this railway station We need to hear It says this is the Cheshire lines committee Winnie the Pooh Even more interesting What an interesting railway station I'm going to go back downstairs now Have a pint This is a perfect railway station We need more railway stations like this So from upstairs at Erlen railway station Thank you very much for watching Goodbye It's not quite the end of the video I noticed this here is called a loft It's very kindly selected There's even more Look at this, it's actually created like The side of the train And you can sit inside And you can look out the window While you're having a meal In here, there's another room And it's just really nicely themed So yeah, top marks To friends of Erlen station Who I believe created this museum So as I said, thank you very much for watching Feel free to like, subscribe Comment etc And if you're out in Greater Manchester or Liverpool Do come and visit Erlen station It's a really great railway station


Alright, so you're going to learn something about me today and this is the first time that we're going to see a couple of dead white guys. I refer to, first of all, I think it's interesting to know, like who figured this stuff out? I also think it's really interesting to know how did they figure it out. It reminds us that back in the day of whatever 1800, in the age of these two dead white guys, there wasn't like a textbook where we could go look up the different kinds of cells or what's inside a cell and there wasn't a Wikipedia where we could go and find out that, oh, here's a list, a comprehensive list of all the different types of cells. These guys literally had no idea that cells even existed and they're the ones who said, oh, it looks like they're, let's find out what are some basic truths about cells. And so they did this really important research, really important research that was groundbreaking at the time and still is relevant now. Like it still is informing what we do and how we study biology. Please understand that when I speak of the dead white guys, the fact is that most of our historical people that we're going to see in biology, most of them are white and most of them have penises. And that is not, it's the way it was. It's the reality of how science was run. Dude, Beatrix Potter, who wrote the Peter Rabbit book, she was actually a scientist. She loved studying lichens, which are fungi and algae symbiotic critters, which is awesome. And she did all this really amazing scientific research back in probably the 1800s and wasn't allowed to share her research with the rest of the scientific community because she didn't have a penis. That is unfortunate, but it's the reality.  This is how things were. And I don't intend to diminish the value of their contributions. I just think it's interesting that they all are white with penises. Okay. So dead white guy number one and number two, Schleiden and Schwann, these fellows compiled a list of characteristics that together or a list of facts that together make up this idea of cell theory. And so let's take a look at the things that they came up with in 1839. So I won't ever ask you to remember names. Second of all, I probably won't ask you to remember specific dates. Probably it's good to know that it was in the 1800s that a couple of dead white guys came up with the cell theory. And it's probably important to know the main ideas carried within cell theory. So let's look at it. First of all, every single organism, living critter, consists of one or more cells. That we know, in fact, that's how we define whether or not something is alive. This is going to be relevant when we start looking at viruses at the end of the semester because viruses are not considered alive. And that's because they are not cellular. All cells, a single cell is the structural and functional unit of life. And we've already stated that as well. This one was not part of the original theory. And the reason it got added was because it was added to what disprove or provide evidence that the concept of spontaneous generation was totally bogus. So the third tenant is that all living cells come pre-existing cells. They don't just appear out of nowhere. Babies don't get delivered by a stork. They actually come from other cells. Fantastically, thank you very much. We actually get to spend a lot of time talking about where babies come from. Won't that be fun? All cells have the same basic chemical composition. They're all made of our biomolecules. And when we start looking at the cell itself, we're going to start looking at our biomolecules in more detail. All cells use energy. They have tools and equipment in their bodies so that they can, in their bodies, in their cell membranes so that they can use energy. And we're going to spend a good solid three lectures. Oh, I can't wait. I love talking about energy. We're going to blow up some gummy bears. It's going to be really exciting. So the energy is an important part of this whole process. And I don't have any at all. And all cells contain DNA. And this is interesting, too. We're going to spend, I bet we spend a total of six lectures talking about DNA, structure, function, and heredity, meiosis and mitosis, and we pass on this DNA, how we copy it, and then pass it on equally to all the daughter cells because remember, all cells come from existing, previously existing cells. It's really cool. It's really interesting. This giant list of a whopping six things, hopefully at this stage you're like, okay, sure, I can memorize that list. But by the end of the semester, you'll be able to look back at this list and be like, oh, well, of course. Uh-huh, yep, I know that already. And yes, I learned that as well. So this is just giving you kind of an overview of the situation. Now, there's two main types of cells. And that's what we're going to look at next. What are the two main types of cells?


Why the narcissist has to hurt you there is something within the narcissist that hurts so much That they have to hurt you. They may have developed a false self which is meant to be powerful and attractive With the of admiration and praise But they're true in a self Which they have disowned is Is constantly coming to the surface and reminding them of their true feelings of them not being enough The narcissist has a very weak ego Which has been overtaken by their super ego This sadistic super ego is constantly judging them Making negative evaluations and criticisms These cruel repeated comments Echo throughout the narcissist mind criticising them for failing to achieve unattainable ideals and goals So while the narcissist has created a false self that is meant to have an exaggerated sense of abilities and importance The narcissist's super ego is constantly reminding them and criticising them for failing to achieve these unattainable ideals and goals This is what creates the narcissist obsessive need for narcissistic supply They expect and may even demand for you to validate their false self and their illusions Often to a unrealistic or impossible standard They have to feel as though they are entitled over everyone else They have to feel as though they are significant important powerful attractive worthy of admiration and praise They expect you to always be focusing on them and fulfilling their needs Often to a point where you will begin to neglect your own needs You may end up giving up your energy and resources Which are meant to replenish you to them This can drain you to the point where you have difficulty performing You have difficulty accomplishing or fulfilling an action task or function for the narcissist The narcissist cannot acknowledge or consider that they have drained you of your energy and resources And that is why you have difficulty performing That would suggest that there is a fault or deficiency within them Without constant attention and having their needs fulfilled They don't feel significant important powerful or attractive They begin to feel worthless and insignificant They cannot acknowledge or accept these internal negative evaluations and criticisms That is too painful for them to deal with Instead they have developed a coping mechanism or a defense mechanism against these feelings of worthlessness and insignificance Where they will project them outwards onto you Now you are the one who is worthless You are the one who is inadequate You are the one who is insignificant unimportant powerless or unattractive You are the one who is not worthy of love acceptance admiration or praise And for not acknowledging or validating their false self or not constantly trying to fulfill their needs In the narcissist mind you have attacked them They don't take responsibility for their emotional wounds They don't respond to the best of their ability to deal with them Instead they shift the blame onto you And assume that you are responsible for how they feel Regardless of whether you have done anything to them or not You are an extension of their ego You are a tool which they use to self-medicate To save them from their inner destruction if you cannot do this Then the narcissist inner wounds are your fault You deserve to be punished and the narcissist will express their full anger and frustration Of the trauma that they are currently experiencing Sharing their anger and frustration with you does provide them with some temporary relief It regulates their emotions and boosts their self-esteem But nothing is ever resolved internally Which is why they endlessly experience the same trauma and behavior It is also an attempt for them to train you to do something in a controlled and habitual way That serves them It's where they are trying to groom you Prepare or train you for a particular purpose or activity Which will benefit or favor them Punishing you also makes them feel as though they are something significant or important to you It makes them feel powerful and superior When they see you expressing feelings of pain and distress It regulates their emotions and makes them feel above you In their minds if you are experiencing those emotions That means that you are the one with the problem You are the inadequate one The narcissist targeted you because they believed that you were a grade narcissistic supply They idealized you and put you on a pedestal They felt convinced that you were going to save them That you were going to give them the self-medication that they need They created this fantasy world and idealized you Once they witnessed a flaw or imperfection A fault or mistake The fantasy begins to wear off A normal healthy relationship is one where two people should cooperate and work together But the narcissist expects you to serve them and fulfill their needs Without any reciprocation Once the narcissist realizes that you cannot meet their impossible expectations They begin hating you for not being the self-medication object that they expected you to be They allocated this duty or purpose for you They expected you to withstand the wear pressure or damage And when time revealed that you were not the long-lasting indestructible self-medication object That they expected you to be They begin to hate and resent you They begin to feel bitterness and may even hold a grudge against you Because in their minds You were meant to save them from themselves You were meant to save them from their own inner destruction Of course, this is impossible for anyone to do We have to take responsibility for our own emotional wounds if we wish to heal them But this really was what the narcissist expected you to do And when you couldn't meet this impossible expectation or standard They began to hate you They began to devalue you and blame you And then they go off to find someone else who is full of energy And doesn't know what they're about Someone who is going to be more susceptible to their manipulation To do the same thing all over again They never loved you They never cared about you And that's why it was so easy for them to move on Because all they ever cared about was narcissistic supply Thank you for watching I hope this video resonated with you Please like, comment, share and subscribe Click

David Navarra joins us in our studio after his draw against China's Le Teng Yeh. The game looked pretty level throughout but in fact David tells us that it was full of tricks in the end. Have a look. David, a draw today against China's Le Teng Yeh even though the game looked like it was peaceful throughout, there was a bit of complication at the end. Yes, I misplayed the opening after which I was slightly worse but then I equalized and I expected it to be a quick draw but then I decided to play on because there was a nice trap at the moment when I avoided an exchange of queenside pawns. Maybe you can show it to us. Yes, I can show it. I mean of course it's a dead draw but in this position I played rook c4 hoping that rook d8 could happen because then I can take on c5 and black remains a pawn down as sorry now sorry queen e1 can be met with queen f1 when it should still be a draw after d1 but But you at least have an extra pawn and some chances. Yes, exactly and okay after rook e8 it's of course equal but towards the end it was getting dramatic at this point because now black needs to be really careful as c2 probably loses to a7 c1 queen check and rook a7. This is quite beautiful so you mean where Teng Yeh went queen a7 here you had a trick if she goes c2 it's black is in trouble here. Yes but sorry there are more tricks actually because after rook a2 black cannot okay still here if black plays rook a5 there's queen d7 winning. This is a beautiful move. Yes. So the point is that if you take even if you go rook b5 you've got rook a8 and your queen first. Yes, exactly and after rook a7 I believed to be much better for a very short period of time for several seconds before spotting c2 because black cannot play for example rook c5 in when queen e3 can be met with rook c7 but there's queen b7 rook c7 queen takes c7 and now white is winning but in the game there happened c2 after which it is just a dead draw rook takes c2 queen takes a6. So she very precisely navigated from these tricks that you had at the end. Yes. And what are your impressions so far about the way the games have been going for you? Okay I disliked the way how I misplayed the opening today but otherwise I like my games. I think yesterday I just played a good technique. Yes and you back in Gibraltar you feel good coming here? Yes. It's one of your tournaments that you start the year with quite often. Yes, all right. All right, happy to have you here with us and thank you for giving us your time. Okay, thank you for your attention see you later. David before I let you go I have to ask you when we were analyzing with Eufa earlier with Daniel Eufa you were watching the analysis and you spotted a mistake in his analysis at that moment or were you following the game when he was actually playing? I had not been following it before but I spotted the mistake in the analysis. That's what I often do. Even when I was watching some really high level Blitz games I very often spotted mistakes but the problem is that when I am playing myself I am making even more mistakes and also spotting them very soon which does not improve my mood. David you are very modest but we are sure that is not the case and we really hope to have you back in our studio. Thank you for your time. Okay, thank you. Thank you. See you later. See you.


Hello everyone, today we're talking about a third variation. This is the third of three variations of sagging that you'll see in your push-ups. This one is more of an upper back sagging, and you'll see the shoulder blades come away from the upper back. You might see scapular winging. So what's going on here? So the support muscles, this serratus anterior here, they're what, I have to say this. You'll learn about the serratus anterior as it functions at the shoulder, as it moves the arm, in the school at least, if you've taken any anatomy. They call it your boxer's muscle, right? It helps you push away at the very end of a punch. Now that's true for sure, but I would argue that its primary function is not to bring the arm forward, but to bring the upper body back, brings the rib cage back. You should look up my article on the serratus anterior, because I wrote a lot about this. It's a passionate subject of mine. I don't have many passions, but the serratus anterior is one of them. I'm kidding, I have a lot of passions, but does that mean that I have never mind? So with the upper back sagging, the spine reverses, the upper back flattens, and it starts to fall towards the ground. It's normal for it to be a little curved up towards the ceiling. It's normal for it to be like this, but what starts to happen is it does this. Okay, and you'll see it straightens out. Some people like that feeling, because it takes some tension off of them. It allows them to breathe, and that's a whole nother issue that we can't really get into right now. For the purpose of the push-up, though, it doesn't make a lot of sense. My rib cage is supposed to be rounded so that my round, slightly round shoulder blade can sit on top of it really well and it can move really well. If the rib cage flattens, it runs into it. It can't move around, so it has to come away from the rib cage. It has to destabilize, and that destabilizes your shoulder and puts it at a lack of stability position. So what does it look like? It took a while to get to this, but we talked about it a little bit on the knees, right? So it looks like this. People are here.  I don't really ever allow any clients to do it that way because I don't think it's very healthy. I think the more optimal way to go about this is every rep, you need to finish long with a round upper back to restore the position of the shoulder blade on the rib cage. So as I come down, I got to make sure that I'm actively pushing away to keep those support muscles at serratus anterior on the whole time. And then as I come back up, I've got to make sure I finish, okay? I made a whole video about finishing at the top. It's very related to this, but if you're just trying to fix this flat upper back, this scapular winging stuff, this is a good way to go about it. So recap, upper back falls down towards the ground. We want to make sure it stays around and comes up towards the ceiling. Make sure you're queuing this sternum up towards the ceiling. I didn't mention that earlier. That's a good cue for you though. Bring the sternum, the chest bone here up towards the ceiling, and that will help you get that reach of your upper body. That'll help you bring your upper body away from your arms rather than just trying to reach your arms forward even more because that's the function of the serratus, right? It brings the rib cage posteriorly. Thank you for sticking with my little asides. Hopefully that's helpful. If it's not, or you need more help, leave a comment below.


Let's get things moving and try and wrap up quick today. I also have Pac on today, so. Woo. OK. Well, I can go first. I had promised a demo, but I haven't actually gotten to it yet. I do have a device on latest. And I haven't actually checked to make sure it's not through all its updates. I got it set up about an hour ago. So I will get that demo done and uploaded. We can talk about more tomorrow. Really, my goal is just sounds like the news was the only one I should expect any changes on. So I'll I'll throw some some extra utterances at the news and see what we see. Everything else. Just do one real basic. Kind of one utterance demo because not really expecting much to change there. Um. But other than that, I'm just like based on the decision we talked about yesterday to change the orientation of pie to all ports towards the back. That's just been my main priority to get that done. So Kevin can actually get prototype out before he leaves next week. So almost there really. I think I'll be able to get it to him later in the morning tomorrow. I'm actually pretty stoked about it. I think it's going to be cleaner, nicer all together. It's got to find a way to keep the USB in place. I've been thinking about that too. That's it for me. Can we write up a like, I know we're going to get to it anyway, but while it's on your mind, fresh on your mind, it'd be good to write up the reasoning behind that because that'll go in the next Mock 2 update, I'm assuming. Yeah, I don't know. It's kind of one of these things where I like to see Kevin get the board layout and stuff a little bit. Make it a little bit more real before we go talk about it too much. OK, just in case he wants to make it. So it's a decision that we're going to try and do it, not the way I'm doing it. Well, we are doing it. It is almost no reason it's not going to work. But again, still, I like to. But I'll work on it next week. How about that? Because by then, we should have at least something back from Kevin. Yeah, yeah. Well, and the updates doesn't go into the 15th or something like that. It was more like, if you're already thinking about why we're making this decision and what the, you're in that handspace, and I thought it might be good to do it now. I think it's almost done, I'm sure. Yeah. If you're done and I'm talking, I did some upstream fixes for the packages that were broken. So we merged some patched versions. Well, we changed the requirements file to point to patched versions so that they'll start working. If you care about their details, go and check the PR. But it looks like the official versions will get updated pretty quickly. So that'll be good. Everything is humming along pretty well except for one time of skill VK test. But it's only failing maybe like 25% of the time or less. So it's meant that I've been able to get a whole bunch of stuff passing and stuff, which has been good. And I think I know that it's not a priority for us, but the XDG, the next XDG PR, I have to do a final pass through it. But I think that the only remaining question there is if we're happy with the new file location for where skills are installed. I thought there was still some, is it still the data directory? Because I'm not a big fan of that. Sorry, I said that again. It's still the data directory? It's the, yes, I think so. OK. So I think I know there's some discussion at the yard about moving it away from the data directory. It doesn't really make a lot of sense. Yeah, so I think that's where that is, is the final question. So I think if anyone has opinions about that, or is going to care, then we should nut that out. If you don't care, it doesn't look like you care. So I'm going to assume that we don't need to check in with you again. And I'm assuming that Michael doesn't care, or Derek. Cool. I mean, the only thing I care about is I tend to agree with Chris V that it doesn't belong to data directories, kind of weird putting code in the data directory. But other than that, I don't have much of an opinion. Cool, cool. All right. I don't think I have anything too exciting other than that. Ken, did you want to go? Can everybody hear me OK? Yeah, so I updated the dev team channel with the alarm skill problems. It appears that the alarm skill that Derek is running, since I was told it was the 2102 branch, is extremely old. All of those bugs were fixed about three months ago. The code's languishing somewhere. And now it needs to be merged, because there's been point releases, and changes, and all sorts of stuff. So I don't want to commit another PR, because I don't know why the original one was not merged. And so I can commit a PR for what I have, which is far different than what we're currently pulling, and it'll have to be merged. But there's a lot of work there. There's a lot of stuff pulled out, or just not even put in there. There's heuristics, and all sorts of stuff that's just not available. So I don't know what happened to the alarm skill. I don't know why it never got merged. But he's running a very old version, and the code I have now will not work. So somebody's got some merge work to do, I assume, if they decide they want to take the new alarm skill. So do you have the code that you're talking about running on your device at the moment? I do. Can you either put that into a branch, or just send me a zip file, or something? Yeah. I can send you over a zip file. Cool, cool, cool. All right, do that, and I'll take a look. Yeah, so there's a lot of stuff changed. There was a lot of files added. There was a lot of voked file changes. There was a lot of code changes. So I will send you a zip file, and you can have at it. After that, it's been about half a day doing that. The other half of the day, I was unraveling this mess that is the precise binary, because I'm trying to run a version of TensorFlow Lite runtime on the mark, too. And that's difficult. I can run the model using the precise binary and the upgraded TensorFlow, but that's not the goal. So anyway, that's what I was working on. So today, I was unraveling the alarm skill and unraveling the precise executable stuff. It might be worth posting something about that in the precise channel, too, because I don't know if anyone else has worked on that already. They might have some pointers. You're muted, Ken. You are still muted. Yeah, it looks like the PR was primarily to get TensorFlow, the environment, upgraded to 2.2. Somebody gave me a TensorFlow Lite model, but I haven't really seen a TensorFlow Lite runner. That's what I was kind of building. Because the code that they gave me that was on OVOS is using TensorFlow 2.2 to run the TensorFlow Lite model, which kind of defeats the purpose. I do have a zip file that I will email you, by the way, right now, to see you now. Chris Fair. So I finished going through every applicant I could find. It has submitted a coding test, and I reviewed them. And my comments and ratings are in reading. And I finished work on what's going to be a PR, which basically I don't know if anyone else besides me had maybe seen this, but it's OK. Committed for a BK testing, a criteria matcher, or a criteria waiter class. Well, I extended that to do some weight for, well, I didn't extend it. There's three classes now. One is just waiting for events. One waits for dialogues, and the other one is basically what OK had originally. And this will replace a bunch of the code that is already in that file, and some other code that I think is probably redundant with this. So I'll create a PR for that. I can't run final tests on it, because I don't have an interconnection, and because I don't have an interconnection, I'm kind of limited in what I can do. So I may just submit the PR, see how the test runs on the PR. This was done to fix timer skill, expired timer test source, were sporadically failing. OK, submitted, there's been a PR merge that addressed some of the problems, but right now we're getting some false positives. They're passing when they shouldn't. There's like, for example, the stop skill only handles four different variations of the word stop, but this VK test looks for eight or 10. So they shouldn't be passing, but they are. And this fixes that. And I also put an X fail on the ones that wouldn't pass, because they're going to require an update to the stop skill for them to work, not to the timer skill. That all makes sense. So there's a timer skill PR and a PR to core with some void comp testing tools that kind of go together that will paint a true picture for these timer events and will hopefully provide some reusable code that people can use whenever they want to test for dialogues or events or anything, or criteria or anything like that all in one place. So I don't know what I'm going to do this afternoon or tomorrow. I'm supposed to get my internet fixed tomorrow afternoon. I will see if I can find some things that are required on my internet that I'll probably eliminate in a little while. Are you not able to use your phone to tether? I can tether, which means I can do stuff with people, but that doesn't work out my devices. So I can't run tests on my devices, because they can't connect to my phone.  Sorry. That's why I have my little mic. That's why I keep my MiFi device, because this is what I do for a living. So if ever I lose my internet, I just pop up my LTE device, and then I can have 12 devices connect to it. So I connect the mark twos to it, connect the laptop in the TVs, and we're good to go. Sounds like you'll be having it fixed pretty soon, right? Every day should be fixed tomorrow, so it's just a day. But I'll just try to find things that don't require me using my devices today. There's always reviewing PRs. Yay. Yeah, that's what you said. Cool. Michael, did you have anything? No. And you're sick, so if you don't want to talk, that is OK. Yeah, I don't have COVID. But everyone in my house is sick. There's something going around. My daughter's sick, and all her friends are sick. I don't think I'm going to have something going around. There's lots going around. All right. Get a call around. Well, then let's leave it there. I'm going to be at Picon all weekend, including today. So I'll be getting some stuff done in between things. But yeah.


What's up guys? So in this episode, I'm going to be talking about two things. I'm going to be talking about blockchain scaling, and I'm going to be talking about how most of the ICOs are house of cards right now. So I just made a post. It was on Medium, it was on LinkedIn, and soon to be on Huffington Post. I'll leave a link below this video so you guys can check it out. And what I want to be talking about today is the whole notion of how a lot of people are promising that blockchain is going to deliver this. In reality, blockchain can only deliver this right now as opposed to that. Okay, so there's two big issues right now. The first big issue is a scalability issue. For example, when you think of how a blockchain works, for example Ethereum, which everyone's building their ICOs on their ERC-20 tokens, Ethereum runs roughly about 14 transactions per second per node, right? And with an ERC-20 token, that is cut in half to 7 transactions per second. So let me ask you this. Imagine trying to run Facebook on that. That's not going to work. Imagine trying to run YouTube on that. That's not going to work. No big major company can be built on top of Ethereum as of today. So then when you see all these big ICOs that come around, like, hey, you know, we promised to do X, Y, and Z. In reality, the technology is not there yet, and we have a long way to go before we get there. You have to understand how these open source tech works. For example, Bitcoin and Ethereum, how a decentralized open source blockchain works is literally every node, you know, every participant, part of the network, has to have the full copy, the full client, all the information of the blockchain. And any single time there's a new, say, iteration to it, they've got to download and update it. So all these big, all these nodes are constantly updating a lot of data onto themselves and it's slow and clunky. A trade-off between having a decentralized open source platform like Ethereum and Bitcoin, it's slow, but security is good and censorship is good, right? So right now that's a big issue and we are, I would say, minimum two, three years away before we see some legitimate scaling solutions. For example, we have Plasma for Ethereum, but first we've got to see proof of say who knows how that's going to go. We have the Lightning Network with Bitcoin. I have no idea when that's coming out. That's going to be at least a couple of years before we see the iteration of that coming out. For God's sake, we just had Segwit activate and there's less than 10% of the whole network using Segwit. Then we have sidechains such as Polkadot. That's a couple of years away from, you know, grand skillet thing. The nearest thing that we have today for sidechains is Cosmos, which is quite interesting project. So, you know, the reality is blockchain has many, many amazing benefits and a lot of people are over hyping it and the fact is it can only deliver this right now. It can't deliver all the promises right now. And that's why I think the majority of these ICOs are house of cards. They're built on technologies. First of all, that is not mature yet. We need time. We need proper engineers. We need people from academia to be focusing on very difficult problems.  As opposed to just focusing on creating dApps, you know, these applications on top of the protocol. It's like me trying to build a roof on top of the house and the house is not there. That doesn't work that way, okay? So, that's my little rant today. If you're looking at ICOs, please first pay attention to the underlying technology that's built upon, okay? I'll talk to you guys soon and peace.
