It really is a great pleasure to be here, so thank you for inviting me. I maybe want to do something that I think is necessary which is try and explain to you what I think happened in 2016, not because I want to talk about the past, but I think sometimes it's not understood. So that's what I'm intending to do. I want to say that I think at it's heart Brexit is about the relationship between people and power, ac mae'n dweud o'r llwyffordd Euron Cymru, ond mae'n rhai o'r llwyffordd i'r UK. Rwy'n cael ei wneud o'r llwyffordd, y Brexit yw, ac mae'n dweud i'r gweld ffantasig o'r ffordd o ffobl oesolfynu ac yn ddimogrofi. Felly, mae'r rhai o'r llwyffordd technocratig oeddo i'r cyfnodd, oeddo i'r lleolig o'r llwyffordd technol, oeddo i'r cyfnodd, oeddo i'r llwyffordd o'r cyfnodd, ac yn cael eu cwylwch i'r cyllid o'r meddlion, a'n dechrau i ymddiriaeth amdano'n gael gael. Mae'r dweud y Brexit yn cael y dda i gael bod'r Gweithdoedd Brytysg, iawn i'r dweud i'r ddechrau a'r dweud a'n cael y ddweud i'r ddweud arall i dweud i gael cyfans. So, mae'n gweithio. Dwi'n cael ei gael Brexit yn cael ei ddweud i'r dweud i Britysgol. Mae'n dweud i ddweud i'r ddweud, y cozi, y zombie-like closed world of Westminster Parliament, parliamentary politics. It's broken open, the traditional line between left and right, which was already an exhausted tradition. It's supplemented, it's been supplanted by new divisions, but nonetheless it means that politics has been shaken up across traditional bases of political parties. And I think that's exciting, not frightening. That's even been true if you look at what's just happened to Northern Ireland in the general election as well. Despite a council of despair that Brexit was undermining the Northern Irish peace settlement, it would reignite political violence. Those arguments were used by remainers, particularly in the UK over recent months. I've always seen Brexit as possibly having a more positive outcome in terms of Northern Irish politics. Disruptive in a positive sense, able to breathe new life into Northern Ireland's crisis-ridden political system. And the general election results have shown us that Northern Ireland's electoral geography is changing, and Brexit has acted, I would say, as a catalyst encouraging more people to think and vote outside of traditional party loyalties. In other words, I think a lot of the consequences of Brexit are a good thing because I think that the status quo, as it was, and the political status quo, as it was, was not good enough. But ever since 2016, that 2016 referendum vote, there's been a sense in which nobody in the UK now, I don't mean here, understood what happened. You know, the establishment have been, and all its different groupings, the British establishment, have been groping around to explain why there was this popular revolt. They saw it as unbelievable and incomprehensible. People were described, voters were described as having low information, too easily juked by demagogues and puppet masters. It was assumed that people voted Brexit because they read what was written on the side of a bus about the NHS, which was alive. I hear anyone else tell me that Brexit was because of the side of a bus. I never met a leave voter yet who voted because of what was on the side of the bus, but everybody on the Remain Camp thinks that that's the only thing that anyone ever voted for. Or maybe people voted leave because of fake news spread by state-sponsored Russian bloggers and bots. Every insult in the book has been used to explain the motivation of leave voters. You've got your own brand of it here. Fintan O'Toole says that Britain voted leave because many citizens regret the loss of empire. So this is the kind of idea that it's all little Englanders sitting round wanting to colonise the world and want to go back and so on and so forth. Fintan O'Toole, and I mentioned Fintan because he's regularly cited in UK media as an authority from Ireland, as an understanding, as an outsider, what happened. Fintan O'Toole also says that the Brexit vote indicated a certain SNM tendencies in the British voters. A certain pseudo-massacism kind of comes up with a whole load of psycho-bubble around that. I think obviously a lot of that is rubbish, but there's a whole range of demonising insults.  Too often political and academic elites have displaced their own lack of popularity on to the public calling the public populist by way of explaining why the public voted for something that was popular and unpopular, and pathologising Brexit voters as morally inferior, predisposed to emotions susceptible to post-truth fake news. It's a kind of own UK version of a basket of deplorables. Now you in Ireland should be familiar with this approach to voters who go against the establishment because when the Irish had the temerity to reject the EU in terms of the Nice Treaty the Irish were branded as quote ungrateful, quote ignorant of the issues, quote backward. When in 2008 those backward ungrateful Irish once again rejected the Lisbon Treaty one EU official spoke for many when he texted to his colleagues the Irish people the bastards have spoken. The thing that's really interesting about this is that or you might be interested to know that I took a particular interest in what happened especially in 2008 in relation to Ireland and it was at that time that I made a decision that if there was ever a referendum to leave the European Union in the UK in solidarity with Irish people I would vote to leave and I would not allow a second referendum to tell us to do the right thing. So the Irish ought to blame for me being in the Brexit party. More broadly I think that the kind of what's called now the populist upsurge and that includes everything from the vote for Brexit to the Gilles Jaunes to the rise of a whole new set of anti-elitist parties across Europe is regularly presented as a far-right phenomenon even a return to the 1930s a kind of fact-free Philistine rejection of evidence and experts but I think that actually that is a caricature and unfair and wrong and what's actually happening is primarily ordinary people are demanding a reckoning with the political system and confronting a technocratic style of politics at which they were the victims of and seeking new opportunities to have their voices heard. Sometimes when Brexit is discussed through the prism of trade agreements endlessly through the prism of trade agreements I think it can miss the bigger picture as well that this is a democratic upheaval. There was for example much debate I was brought up in Wales and there was much debate in Wales about how Wales would definitely vote remain and I was told this by lots of people in the Welsh Assembly and in Welsh local government and the reason was because the EU gives the largest proportion of its grants to Wales and it was assumed that Turkey's wouldn't vote for Christmas as was the phrase was used. Actually what happened was that despite the fact that it would affect the cash in their pockets Wales overwhelmingly voted to leave and I think the reason I'm mentioning that is because people sometimes don't understand what happened they can't see, well can't you see that this could affect our trade relations it could affect our economy, it could affect our jobs you might not be able to get the EU grants but this is something about values and deeper principles around self-rule and self-determination and that's why that take back control slogan had a resonance people understood the risks in fact the official leaflet that was presented by the government and given to every household actually said this voting to leave the EU would create years of uncertainty and potential economic disruption and this would reduce investment and cost millions of jobs that's what everybody got in the country don't mind the side of a bus that's what everybody got if you vote leave it will affect the economy disrupt it, reduce investment and cost jobs and people voted leave and they voted leave because they decided that it was more than just about money in their pockets they couldn't be bought off in that way something else was going on so I want to sketch out very crudely what I think has happened and I think we are witnessing the exhaustion of the post-war political order that order was summed up by Francis Fukuyama and the end of history when he announced the triumph of the post-ideological world in which the market became naturalised that theme was picked up by Margaret Thatcher who used the phrase there is no alternative Tina there is no alternative it was basically a way of saying this is it this is the best that you get where this is it look at it isn't it great and for many people it wasn't it also meant that ideology and political principles were told we were told were no longer necessary because this was it and they then became replaced by expert-led managerialism and technocratic governance throughout Europe that led to political parties losing their soul and their support in many instances and a kind of series of identikit parties very little difference between them increasingly professionalised and divorced from their traditional supporters with low turnouts in election a certain amount of apathy politicians in that atmosphere sought to justify their policies not on the basis of ideology so much as of expertise of evidence of process rather than political vision and it created a new relationship with voters voters were no longer to be won or convinced but they were to be done to offered a whole series of we'll look after you kind of objectives they became passive objects of intervention patronised by nanny state public health officials, nudge theories and so on turned into hapless victims of condescension told how to live their lives by their betters and armies of policy wonks and public health experts interfering in the minutiae of lifestyle decisions how much to drink, how much to smoke how to rear the kids, what to feed them at tea time their habits, customs and traditions and inclinations attacked as in need of refinement and change by the technocrats it was literally demoralising it ate away at agency it grabbed the soul of people and it just made them feel as though they had no worth and I hope that you'll recognise some of that as being quite a widespread phenomena then came along the European Union referendum it was a kind of peculiar thing it wasn't as though millions and millions of people were demanding it ok, UKIP had mobilised somebody but it wasn't as though the vast majority wanted it but we were given the European referendum there's something you ought to know when the European referendum was called it didn't excite that much excitement in the country and I, because I was one of those policy wonk types was at a meeting in Westminster with some people in the government and they said, oh my god we've called the referendum and we're worried no one's going to vote in it what are we going to do we've got to have a big mobilisation so somebody, very senior said, I've got an idea what we need to do is we need to tell people that this referendum is the most important vote that anyone will ever have and that they will be able to change the British constitution it'll be a once in a lifetime generational vote where their vote for the first time ever will matter because in the UK first pass a vote means that your vote often doesn't matter in truth and anyway, as I've said the political parties are just taking you for granted and that's what the government did they went out and they told everyone that I would call this referendum that this was the most important thing that they would ever decide and what happened was that British voters who were being fed up of being kind of looked down to and patronised and kind of not taken seriously went, oh my god we're being asked to go out and decide on a really important issue it's about the EU that meant that in the build up to the referendum up and down the country there was a really vibrant debate at the school gate in pubs on buses, not on the sides of buses everywhere you went everyone was saying, what are you going to do are you going to vote to stay in or out I went to visit my mum who had dementia in a care home in north Wales and the care workers stopped me at the door and said, you're on Sky News aren't you occasionally by the way and I said yes and they said we're having a row in the staff room about tariffs I said, who are you I can assure you they knew more about tariffs than I did and I was there for an hour while they were taking unpaid time off to discuss this thing my mother luckily had dementia and didn't realise that I was neglecting her the local Catholic priest that my mother went to an Indian priest came up to me and said I'm a lever we've got a secret group in the parish who are talking about it, will you come and discuss it with us I mean, this was what it was like I went to a meeting in Yorkshire in Wakefield and people there said, one woman said well we don't know everything but we're having a family meeting at the weekend, we've got the whole extended family coming to our house Joe's gone off googling the economy side of it Sarah's gone to the library to look up the whole history about the European Council and the European Union that was what it was like there was packed meetings, a vibrant political discussion something that nobody ever acknowledges or talks about and then to their surprise leave us one now that mobilisation that discussion about a low turnout at Westminster the idea was we need a very high turnout so that everyone will go out in that referendum and vote to stay in the European Union they were mobilised to give back up to remaining in the European Union and put the question to bed but that's not what happened and so it literally was you were mobilised so you can do what we want you to and then you go back home and that's that but as we know something else happened and there was jubilation and in a way voters felt that they were back on the stage of history as citizens but effectively the rest of the story has been much more difficult because following on from that having thought that they'd won that referendum or that something exciting had happened they were immediately told that they'd got it wrong if the British establishment had implemented Brexit in 2016 it would have been the mildest populist revolt you'd have ever seen because actually people would have been delighted that in a way it could have been fine but because the establishment then sought to undermine that referendum result it consolidated and politicised people who started to follow intensely what was going on in the ruling echelons of power in the UK and started to scrutinise everything from the House of Lords to the Supreme Court to everything and so now you have a mobilised, politicised population who basically don't trust the British ruling class and so on and it revealed a kind of chasm between the elites and voters and I think that's an interesting thing to note but what I think is really interesting as well is that the establishment were not expecting it and in a way what I want to talk about now is how the era of there is no alternative was created a new breed of political elites that brought this about I just want to start at this section with a quote from Mario Monti the unelected technocrat who was charged with running Italy on behalf of Brussels who boasted about the aloofness of the regime and kind of summed up what he saw as a kind of ideal political moment he said that the thing that was important he said was the absence of political personalities removes any grounds for disagreement the absence of political personalities removes any ground for disagreement in other words the ideal technocratic regime has no personality and no debate that's politics at its most anodyne and it sucks the lifeblood I think out of democracy but I myself have found that the kind of technocratic elite that dominates society has huge institutional and legal power but has just got very little experience of winning hearts and minds or leading political struggles and is estranged from the lives of most people in society is a very much chopped down affair that means that decision making is done in seminar rooms and committee rooms but is far removed from the pesky opinions of ordinary voters but that means it's got no finger on the pulse and misreads the mood so the day after the referendum result in 2016 a leading journalist said I don't recognise my own country to which I wanted to say well you ought to get out more during the build-up to that referendum people kept saying at panels that I was on does anyone know anyone who's going to vote leave and I'd say yes and they'd say well who are they and you think well go and meet them people didn't expect it to happen and even in this general election people were shocked and horrified that leave still meant as much as it did to people when you turn citizens into a passive object it means that technocratic regimes become insulated from public pressure and create their own closed loop world of echo chambers public figures in the media and think tanks and cultural institutions political parties basically a lot of the places that I hang out generally know that their career advancement depends on not on the public but on networking well on learning PR skills on going on media courses on learning a whole set of linguistic rules you have to know what you have to know what cisgender means you have to understand intersectionality you have to understand about trigger warnings you might need a whole dictionary associated with diversity etiquette in order to survive but people know it there's a kind of lingo when I'm going to the European Parliament coming from the Academy of Ideas which I'm the director of normally I was expecting I'm used to argument and debate and reason is the norm and I wanted to go to the European Parliament as I expected though if I'm going to have to be there then at least I can join in the debates but actually I discovered there was an absence of any meaningful debate the EU Parliament in a way is exactly my example of where there's no sense of argument and discussion is we'd normally understand it European Parliament is all about a kind of discussion on prearranged communicase carved out positions around political groupings indulging discussing what are basically predetermined votes it's kind of imperatable to rational debate in fact the only debate there is is how to enforce or respect the rules rules are what is everybody talks about there's no real sort of spontaneous open discussion but everybody seems to feel at home there and everybody speaks the same lingo but there's no passion and there's certainly no feel for the lives of ordinary people and I think it explains why so many people in so many countries a layer of people in so many European countries are so attached to the European Union if you're increasingly ruling a void at home and you're increasingly conscious of a yawning gap between the rulers and the rules then the European Union provides a safe haven where you recognise everyone else and you ironically speak the same language despite the fact you don't speak the same language there is a kind of language of technocracy I think the process of European integration since 1992 master agreement was actually all about a retreat from alienated voters at home seeking legitimacy in terms of ever closer relations with other EU member states and in that sense the EU is a club of ruling elites and by the way the UK was a willing member although that's not always how it's presented so just to say this to you this is a contested point for traditional Eurosceptics ie the people on my side of the debate the European Union is out there something foreign a super national entity that threatens national sovereignty by its multitude of regulations and directives and rules but I do think that they misunderstand something it is of course stuffed with unelected technocrats at the European Commission who lord it over national governments and national parliaments but the view that the problem lies in Brussels not London or in Rome or in Dublin or in Paris is I think wrong because in my opinion that super national entity that somehow has that sorry the EU is not a super national entity that has somehow used power from member states in fact if you think about something like the European Commission the EU's central bureaucracy employs 25,000 people but the idea that those Eurocrats have taken over and have run what's happening of 741 million citizens is just ludicrous I don't believe that at all I don't think that they are the problem in a straightforward way my argument is that the EU was set off as an institution to put a break on democratic decision making at home but with the agreement of the ruling elites of each of the countries that joined it it actually curtailes popular sovereignty in nation states that's often superficially seen as a democratic deficit question is that if only EU citizens could vote for the EU president if only the EU parliament elected MPs could initiate legislation but I think that misses the point the democratic deficit is not a design fault it's in the design because European integration locks in a rigid set of rules that denies the demos in each country accountability the European Union structure breaks the link between decision making and the public more decision making from popular contestation in each nation state it's not a product of an EU power grab but rather the dynamic towards European integration is driven by a decline of faith in democracy at home in each nation state and absolves national governments of the burden of having to consult us the voters about important political social matters in favour of various expert cleats and technocrats in other words, the ruling class at home assources decisions to the EU is done voluntarily the EU's rigid rules based system allows political elites to make decisions in private amongst themselves and this is the idea they then return to their own populations and pretend those decisions were an external imposition I know that the British establishment wrote half of the legislation that's imposed on Britain by the EU what happened was they say we've got an idea they go over to the European Union they put it forward as an idea but it's far easier to persuade the EU than it is to persuade the British public and then they come back and they say we didn't do it, it's the EU rule what can we do so the EU becomes that alibi, a way of getting out of being held to account and so I think that that means that the EU to me represents there is no alternative institutionalised ok, to finish one of the most galling aspects of any debate on the European Union is the conflation of Brussels based oligarchy with Europe per se the idea that if you're anti-EU you must be anti-European or that you must be a petty nationalist a little Englander versus being pro-EU and an internationalist if I can just say I consider myself an internationalist and I'm a proud European I consider that the EU greats against everything that is brilliant about European values some of the key values to emerge from Europe particularly its enlightenment project were things like freedom popular democracy sovereignty, nation states take that very European value of national sovereignty that wouldn't exist hadn't been for the European Enlightenment project when the EC president Claude Juncker proclaimed when he was borders are the worst invention ever made by politicians we have to fight against nationalism and block the avenue of populists that is a constant theme that nation states are problematic ever so yesterday that nationalism is dangerous but for me nation states are not inherently reactionary and in fact in a democracy democracy happens at a national scale historically and those geographic units are the only way that ordinary working people have managed to exercise any political influence so the anti-nation states rhetoric of the EU is an attack on voters we have national parties national parliaments national police, nation states for good reason because that's how we exhibit our ability to hold people to account and that's what I am trying to leave the EU to do in terms of making UK politicians accountable to voters when the supporters of the EU tell us that the EU is an inspiring union of European peoples I think that's rubbish it's a union of European elites who want to avoid the people of Europe and their own electorate and want to insulate decisions about business about the economy so many challenge at home why don't we ask the Greek people about how they felt about the austerity imposed on them so now we have the Brexit populist revolt and I think that the insulation tape has been ripped away and the British public have said this is what we think you've got to listen to us our voice matters as much as yours and I demand that you listen to me and I think at last with the general election the British ruling class have been forced to listen to the British people and I think it's about time and the start of an exciting new era thank you very much


Hello and welcome to the Jackie Boswell show. I'm Joe Wamba, joined now with Jackie Boswell, head coach of the women's basketball team. And coach, you guys host two quality teams a weekend. Win them both. First of all, let's talk about the 61-68 victory over FDU Florum on Saturday. I thought we showed a lot of heart and composure coming back out after being off for a couple days and struggling a little bit with Salisbury. I thought they responded really well in practice on Friday. And I felt pretty good going into Saturday's game. I thought we came out and did a great job. And in my opinion, the more convincing victory over the weekend, 57-44 over, I just lost my train of thought, Marymount. Marymount, thank you. It's been a full weekend of basketball. That's right, a lot of games. Yes, yes. And that was a convincing victory. You guys hit all 10 free throws at the last three minutes of the game. Yeah, I'm really happy about that, to hear that. Because I think that that was one of our struggling points in the first couple games.  So again, showed a lot of composure. And I thought we showed a lot of growth this weekend. And the score in that second game was a lot less than the first game. It was a defensive effort from both teams. I agree. I thought Marymount did a great job. I thought they had a good game plan against us. And I felt like our game plan against them was pretty good. And it was a battle of defenses. And it was going to come down to who made the least amount of mistakes at the end. And like you said, when you get put on the free throw line, missing a free throw is a mistake. So by us making those, we were able to close the game out. And moving forward into this week, open up with Mac Commonwealth competition in Albright. Yeah, I mean, defending champions, we're looking forward to getting this new season started. I think that our first four non-conference games have really prepared us and gotten us ready. And we've learned a lot about ourselves over these past couple weeks to get us ready for conference play, because that's what it's about. That's how you get back to the NCAA tournament. And that's ultimately our goal. What is it that you guys are going to be keying in on as far as things to correct from the past games to get you ready for the Albright game on Wednesday? I think over the past couple games, we've done a lot of things well. I'm not sure we've done them consistently enough yet. So we're going to talk a lot about being consistent. I thought our closeouts were really good against FDU, especially how quick that they were. And yesterday, we got to look at the film again, just to see where we need to improve. But I think it's now being able to put the entire game together, being able to make free throws, being able to knock down shots and play defense as well as we did yesterday for 40 minutes. Well, coach, we'll be watching all those points and keys of the game for you. Great, thank you. She's Jackie Boswell. I'm Joe Wamba, and this has been the Jackie Boswell Show.


Who says you can't have it all? Not Appalachian Wireless. We know what you want. Appalachian Wireless offers the hottest smartphones and unlimited data plans, all on the region's number one network. Saturday night a special presentation was made to Willard, Kinsor before the Kentucky Opry Show at the Mountain Arts Center. It says presented to Willard, Kinsor for being a benefactor to the city of Prestonburg and the region. And there's no way that this can do justice to what he's done for this area. In addition to being presented with the key to the city, the Mountain Arts Center staff also expressed their gratitude to Mr. Kinsor. For 22 years now he served on the Mountain Arts Center Board of Directors, has been contributing to the Mountain Arts Center financially as well from the Kinsor Family Foundation for 20-plus years now. And so truly we wouldn't be here today without Mr. Kinsor. So two of Willard Kinsor's favorite drag cars were on display including the one he drove and one with in Bristol on his 90th birthday. Tonight we're just marrying one of his hobbies, his favorite hobby that is racing and then one of the other things that he loves to do a lot and that's come to the Mountain Arts Center. So tonight we're kind of honoring him by marrying those two things so that we can show folks that come in that there's much more to Mr. Kinsor than just come in here to the Mountain Arts Center or just the Kinsor family drilling. Willard Kinsor was on hand before the show to shake hands and clear up a few myths about those race cars. Most of them just think, well he owns the car but now he probably don't drive them but I am the driver too. But he is also just as excited to talk about his love and pride in the Mountain Arts Center. Mr. Kinsor says he hopes to be able to show his cars again next year and feature the one he drives on his 91st birthday. In Prestonsburg, I'm Shannon Deskins, EKB News.

Men with beards, apparently. Or at least she likes her man with a beard, like your wife. My wife would wholeheartedly agree. But she likes you with a beard. I don't know if she necessarily feels that all men looks incorrect. She likes men with beards. All men look better with beards? There's Larry. Dick Van Dyke would look better with a beard. He does.

Off the charts, Steve Carell with a beard.  Yeah. 100%. Beards make men look better all the time. Robin Williams? Oh, 100%. He's his most attractive in Goodwill Hunting. Then he's his most attractive in Goodwill Hunting. I don't think he's unattractive with a beard. I could debate men's attractiveness all day. You think Santa Claus is a hottie? He's totally... 100%. Men with beards look better. That's...  I don't think I look better with a beard. I don't know. You haven't tried it in a long time, Rick. I tried it once and that's why I never did it again. Well, you should try it again. I looked like the love child of Burt Reynolds and Mel Gibson. Some people may like that.  You don't feel it. It's all... I don't feel it ever anymore. Well, you're adjusted to it. Yeah, well... I remember when it was growing in and it finally was getting some thickness to it. I was in the shower and I couldn't feel the water on my face. And it was like my face was numb from here down. And it felt warm in the summertime. I was sweating and it got wet and I hated it. I actually, there's... I don't like the feeling if I'm clean-shaven. I can feel wind on my face and... Yeah, you can actually feel your face. It makes me uncomfortable.  But yeah, there's a hundred percent better looks for Ranveer, but that's hilarious. And I love that she's like... That's when you're in good relation. If you can be that honest with the other person, then that's a terrible outfit. You better be honest until the people that don't let them go out with you. But don't be mean. Yeah. Yeah, you should be honest.


I made it back to do some high-quality work okay really good have a vegetable mix here it's a total bargain I mean 995 so I noticed with many of my sponsors they're always telling themselves lies such as oh you know I deserve this addictive indulgence or you know I can slack off today I'll work out of tomorrow so I gave one sponsor an assignment to write down all the lies he tells himself and to try to come up with the top 10 list and I said a crazy thing to him I said I think maybe I should do this assignment too I think I need to write down the top 10 list of lies that I tell myself so what are the most common lies you think I tell myself peer review is important all right seed raising specialty mix I think this is 1350 1350 for the seed raising specialty mix so I need a list of my top 10 lies I tell myself I think probably the number one lie I tell myself is this doesn't matter like this isn't gonna have an effect on me I can get away with this I can get away with this that's one of the top lies I tell myself and another one is they'll never know I think that's one of the top top lies that I tell myself good day mate doing some fair dinkum manual labor today 1350 for this seed raising specialty mix really good stuff for your plants okay hope the bosses and catch me live streaming on the job a ton to move here good thing I'm not afraid of hard work oh maybe that's number

with people and people are never fully predictable so that's the biggest challenge that's for self-driving cars the unpredictability of human beings man I'm so honored that you turned off a lawnmast watch me doing some fair dinkum hard work here mate oh wow that's actually pretty close to what a lawnmast had wow great minds think like Steve sailor recommended that a lawnmask with Babylon be interviewed Babylon be that's pretty cool like a lawnmask is not a big fan of work culture so how based in Redfield is a lawnmask can you be based in Redfield or taking billions of dollars in government subsidies apparently you can is there any contradiction being based in Redfield are you taking all those government subsidies okay where do the azaleas get along top lie I tell myself but I'll do it later yeah looking fit bro thank you now where where where the Gardeñas okay azalea Gardeña mix okay right there we go hey these azaleas mix bug in 1150 on top 10 lies you tell yourself I'm just naming the lies you tell yourself I'll do it later I'll work out it tomorrow no one will ever know this doesn't matter I deserve this I think those are all major lies hotel house house I think a big lie that I've been telling myself as I exaggerate my abilities and talents my my ambition my ambition outruns my my talent very painful difference guru gardens walk about guru at the garden center that's some high quality goods here might have been moved away from the cash register for cracking on the sheilas doing some fair dinkum work right my brother's making an honest man of me let's get rolling let's get you lie to yourself thinking you can use distant material responsibly you forget it's okay that's really good yeah guys you should only use it on weekends and only if you can handle it a lot of people think they can handle it and they can't a lot of people think a lot of people think they can they can handle that we don't crack on sheilas here mate the zombie bite theory of information yeah so just because you can't handle this the materials responsibly doesn't mean the zombie bite theory of information means there's something wrong with you you're so desperate to escape reality I had no idea kissing just broke great German here's definitely a smart guy right so if you can't use distant materials responsibly that's not the fault of the distant materials that's the fault there's something broken in your soul it makes you yearn for an escape from humanity fantasizing about some great strong leader coming along and solving their problems we got some what do we got here organic premium compound low release organic really good stuff yeah so what is it about people who can't handle this material I think it's just connected from others so they lose the cues that we get the influence that we get when we have important relationships so when you have important relationships you don't want to jeopardize them so that affects you when you're in the presence of the future important to you and when you're not in the presence of them I try to do these live streams as a future client or employer or just when we bloke on the street or member of my synagogue you around the world's gonna wash them so try to think about all the possible audiences these streams and try to hit the sweet spot so work up late this morning out of sleepless night like up about 505 a.m. did I do my exercises okay where does this go you're telling me I can't trust your sense of life advice well if you're connected to other people you'll be able to seamlessly take what is good from anyone and use it responsibly sleep six hours like clockwork mate I toss and turn 695 for the organic premium compound so I've been watching the show Yellowstone that is bloody good TV mate season four Yellowstone Kevin Costner think it's the top top rating TV show in America and Sun Cable I didn't I didn't love the latest season of succession seemed like the weakest season yet I saw a great Danish movie something like Freedom Riders came out in 2020-2021 now I have not donated to Wikipedia I'm gonna donate I'm gonna donate to a good Jewish cause I think globally but I act locally I support my local synagogues so massive Omicron surge over here so about 25,000 cases in Australia yesterday but not many hospitalization so it looks like Omicron's about 10 20 30% as deadly as Delta and then it may well provide immunity against future COVID-like infections so a lot of good news there so I've had three PCR DNA tests here in Australia and I didn't have to pay for any of them so back in the States had to pay $150 $180 for one just before I flew here 1 million cases a day in the US. Urban veg 995 so I've learned that these darky things these pants they don't work so well when the plastic is wet so I'm learning practical things every day here I don't know if I've been fired from watering I think my watering is improved using the kinked hose more often trying to get it right into the pot I've only killed one plant that's pretty good and my first day on the job my first task was applying the roundup I was just following directions bro. Antly boomers use roundup my brother's a boomer he was born in 1958 there's a new biopic about the seal ball being the Riccardo's what's the barbed wire keeping out white trash making sure people don't break in and steal things it's very cold here in California well how cold the problem is that I just follow directions okay major buffering because I got outside of the Wi-Fi zone that's the problem so you don't want me to eat up my my data do you and it premium compound raining all right that's beautiful man beautiful need the rain California the girls don't they warn you okay so what are some more lies that you tell yourself I'll just watch this one YouTube video and then I'll get right back to work I'll just make one YouTube video about three inches last week whereabouts are you mate even for the day what are the lies you tell yourself I'm here in Mexico City in San Diego may have brought out a little too much of the organic compound in the outback remember when Joe Biden was blaming Donald Trump for all the dead Americans from COVID well far more Americans have died under Biden than under Trump these Biden admitted he underestimated the amicron surge between Biden a sounded more competent with regard to COVID but in practice has he actually been more competent I think the Biden administration in general sounds more competent than the Trump administration I'm not sure the results match the rhetoric however once I do extra things will turn around yeah that's the I just need just need a break just give me this one break I've learned my lesson oh yeah that's another lie that we tell ourselves I've learned my lesson this time next time I'll plan the streams in the Trump Trump era made me get serious bro pending doom so I had to get out of the city well the best way to prepare for doom is to have friendships relationships community have you built stronger friendships you have a stronger relationship with your family I've got seven live yours my brother's not impressed oh yeah now we're up to eight live yours man we're smashing viewership look at all the pretty flowers the high quality nursery mate any wacky tacky Luke was a garden look at these phenomenal flowers mate he roamed the Australian outback I haven't seen any aborigines am I sure but there is one aborigines Australian who converted to orthodox Judaism and she's the president of her synagogue in Sydney it's the statue was modeled on me when I was a little boy this is what I've been keeping alive with my high quality ordering that was Luke studying not just Torah that was me studying Talmud as a little boy now they made a statue out of it they made an idol out of it I told them I keep telling people I am not the light I am just a bloke who points the way to the light I am not the Messiah I just point the way to the one who will come and redeem us this is my sister and she was younger so the garden centers on Booth Avenue I think which is my mother's maiden name we're just getting into summer here how much is a banana plant what do Aussies typically do for quans the quans is not big here it was the Mararal of Prague's Golem the Gentiles when he was a child I've only killed one plant so far with my watering got some lovely fruit trees here can I interest you in a shrubbery do you like a shrubbery young man some lovely citrus here yeah this is my brother's place how far am I from the steve-o in the state I think maybe two hours this is where I do my awesome work with the potting mix you can find everything here at the town of God in the center Godinez gotta get crack on getting with the program here this is where I work I'm wearing my brother's shirt one of the perks is I get a fresh clean poor shirt every day I'm not afraid of hard work mate where is the body mr. girl no I don't know the youtuber mr. girl I'm not into trans Trump 2024 bro it's Kibbutz Meshugana okay is he some kind of secular lefty this is my testosterone with fair dinkum hard work mate not just sitting in my niece's room making a long stream playing other people's content and making my own premium quality content right now your mother grew up on a keyboard how did she like it most people grew up in a keyboard sleeve like people who grew up in Gladstone on 10 I'm said and most of the smart ones leave okay yeah I'm going back to LA that might have that wasn't Chinese that was Japanese and middle of January I think I'll be back I need a back brace I got the Alexander technique I'll be wondering why I can do all this high quality work during my back this is how you lift using the Alexander technique my grandparents were big socialists my grandmother still is this way I'm a conservative yeah the socialism might work to a degree is the Kibbutz like a combination of socialism and nationalism yeah fewer and fewer Israelis live on a keyboard being a steadily dying what 1% less than 1% of Israelis live on a keyboard now these innovative camera angles again as I'm getting copied in the big studio films what am I doing in Australia I'm recovering my Neshama I'm bathing my Neshama in the wellsprings of the Australian Ocean I've been to cities that never closed down from New York to Rio to old London town but it was about 10% of Israelis probably the only successful socialist endeavor because they need Israel to be self-sufficient it was only successful because it was subsidized massively subsidized so Kibbutz him could never pay their own way but they were useful at a certain point for assimilation and for defense so less than 1% of Israelis now live on a keyboard like BB Netanyahu who really boosted the free market in Israel economy has flourished since about year 2000 are very few and self-sustaining some members actually own high-tech phones yeah I guess it's nostalgic or if you like the people you wear that probably works out alright hey did you guys hear 2019 documentary on Hulu about live streamers it was called jawline about like a 16 year old kid on some YouTube like app pretty interesting he's trying to spread positivity yeah most Israelis like most Americans Australians prefer urban life so Australia for 70 years it's been the most urbanized country in the world like almost all Australians live within 30 minutes drive of the beach in the major cities so Kibbutz him and socialism as an example of lies that Israelis taught themselves neither worked out Australia sucks compared to LA how say so crazy to live in the outback in the middle of nowhere hotter than a volcano if you're with your mates it doesn't really matter where you are right it's snowing as long as you're with your mates that's what matters so you could be in snow or sun rain or shine Australia or America as long as you're with your mates people make the place it's all about the relationships it's all about connection tandem sands is great but there's no synagogue within 300 miles of here couldn't live anywhere that didn't have a synagogue synagogue that I like and it's fruit citrus and rose specialty makes us selling like hotcakes get it now while it's just 995 that's using the Alexander technique but notice that I'm lifting I'm not tightening I live in South LA Baldwin Hills whoa bro what are you doing there that sucks I mean that used to be the Jewish center of LA hasn't been for 50 years what are you doing in South LA mate that's no place for you yeah they just used me for the muscle work here Australia's poor compared to originally per capita according to some Swiss bank in 2018 per capita Australians are the richest people in the world and that's like so Baldwin Hills is gentrifying so how property prices in tandem sands rocketing seriously compared to what a year ago okay so property prices in tandem sands up 35% in a year I wonder if more people are moving here and working remotely yeah so more people here are moving out of the cities into regional Australia working remotely Sydney is probably the world's most expensive city yeah Sydney Melbourne Adelaide Sydney Melbourne Adelaide and Perth routinely end up on this of the top 10 most livable cities but they also like on the top 10 list of most expensive cities yeah Bondi Beach that's where the Jews live big Jewish community in Bondi so I've been hanging out in Kudji which is about three miles south of Bondi when you live with the Alexander technique bro ain't nothing I say the overall functionality of Australia's due to a strong Anglo culture that built it you don't think it's the magic soil bro per capita Australia's richer per capita because of outrageous property prices particularly in the capital cities so Melbourne and Sydney are usually in the top 10 list of most expensive cities in the world actually due to property prices so I'm gonna really have to up my live streaming game I'm gonna live in the eastern suburbs of Sydney right by beach with the billionaires enough to bring a whole new level of live streaming intensity I'll get a job I just teach a lot of Alexander technique lessons but how many Alexander technique lessons would I need to rent an apartment so friend apartment probably cost a thousand a week wiki naki is an expert on wealth that's good to know maybe I'll consult with them yeah if it's a bourbon it's around the major cities my game to join the National Justice Party I don't think they allow Joyce to join but juice to join juice to join it has brilliant minds like my keynote in Eric Stryker brah yeah I don't think so I'm more a I'm a more mainstream conservative no that's that's me I think some of the some of the Wi-Fi cut cuts out but I'm back in four-color four-color Technicolor glory I was has a lot of follow-up crazy just like US and UK's Canada yeah because Angler culture secularizes much more quickly than Catholic culture and is more pro-feminist Jacinda Ardern runs New Zealand yeah I'm I suggest asking my brother so yeah Australia is suburban and but it'd be around in and around the major cities so even in the middle of Sydney feels kind of suburban with all the parks so liberal in Australia means classically liberal so in Australian political terms the Liberal Party is the right of Santa Party this is how you lift with the Alexander Technic see this good direction oh yeah multi-tasking that's another lie we tell ourselves that I can live stream and do high quality work at the same time so do you multi-task a lot does your boss allow you to live stream on the job and it should became more just selling like hotcakes Australia is like science fiction novel parallel world names like Andrew Loft and Peter Overton yeah Australia has a lot that English gardening culture such rich country how come they didn't as functional sell to cell phones so they do remember I'm a stranger here so I'm I'm logging on to I think some Australian cell network and it goes up to 4g they have 5g in Australia but my plan only gives me 4g so what are the primary lies that you tell yourself that's the theme for today Jennifer viewfinder yeah it's been overcast a lot but I don't think it's gonna rain so we've had a bit of rain so canum sands is canum sands gets about 50% more rain than Los Angeles and about a third of the rain no about half the rain of Sydney so Sydney tends to get about four times the amount of rain as Los Angeles look I can't control everything so if there's a little lag I have serenity right we accept the things we cannot change oh just laying Maxwell was just found guilty so I think she's gonna get more than 20 years mixed reaction to a yoga yoga class got lost in the buffering yeah there is yoga class in tandem sands so maybe I haven't haven't always positioned positioned my so you guys appreciate this high quality hike that I bought I added on to my iPhone you appreciate the high quality audio am I spending an extra $200 Australian just to give you that high quality audio experience I've got an external sure Mike my clip on time it's supposed to have like wind resistance a wind wind reduction how's the wind reduction sugar cane more it's just 1550 that is my brother that's the boss so I hope he doesn't catch me live-streaming or I'll get fired 1550 for some high quality sugar cane mulch this is the Alexander technique so we're only we're only two hours away from Smoco so that's what we call the 10 minute breaks here in Australia calling the Smoco so when Japan Japan attacked any tasty kosher Sheila's down under there so surely are but not sure I've met any it looks brother definitely saw the iPhone okay just two more hours till Smoco I think I can make it when Japan bomb Darwin the people monitoring the radar station were on Smoco so they missed it during World War two Australian and New Zealand Warfies were always going on strike like if they were given coffee instead of tea they'd go on strike Jaleen will get out if others so connected so much or other Israelis will get her out I don't know so even during World War two Australian Warfies and other central workers were going on strike over really trivial things like getting so coffee instead of tea like in the middle of a war when Japan was threatening to invade Australia Australian Warfies who dominated by the communists so Warfies have long been communist dominated Union in Australia they were going on strike in a World War like Americans couldn't believe it not many Aussies are unionized anymore so unions used to have huge power but it's been steadily dropping since the 80s yeah Darwin was Australia's Pearl Harbor because the blokes manning the radar station went on Smoco she didn't go on Smoco when you're manning a radar station in the middle of war unions of a bunch well they've helped provide a very good quality of life for workers like Australia's a working man's paradise but the I think the most prestigious weekly magazine in Australian history is being the bulletin and until about 1960 it had on its front cover right under the bulletin and had a catchphrase Australia's a land for white men the land for white men that's what was on the bulletin until Donald Horn removed it when he was and he became editor so around 1960 he removed it and Australia dropped his white Australia policy when Goff Whitlam and the Labour Party took power about 1972 so Australia's about 80 to 85% white it's about 15% Asian but if you go to a university graduation ceremony particularly in the sciences most of the graduates are Asian so Asians rapidly becoming the managerial class in Australia used to know a lot of Aussies and South Africans who blatantly blatantly racist but in a very relaxed way yeah so Australians like to have a laugh so Australians will laugh more easily over group differences than would be considered cool in America so Australians are less PC than Americans but Australia's elites may be even more PC than Americans so the news media here is probably more PC than Americans or about the same so I noticed that a few Orthodox synagogues in Los Angeles several of the blokes were married to Japanese women who converted and then in Australia a lot of the more nerdy white guys are marrying Asian women yeah Australians are pretty relaxed easygoing they like a laugh terribly hateful so what do you live in Baldwin Hills mate no it's gentrifying but not fast enough didn't they open up a kosher coffee house in Baldwin Hills no boil heights and boil heights and they're all these mass protests against gentrification but the only was an Orthodox Jew I think Israeli and he stuck it out the Orthodox Jewish community supported him came by for meals and coffee stuck it out the protest went away yeah I stay indoors and then go to Coal City so yeah that's what people do in certain versions of diversity people stay inside watch more TV and they don't gauge in the wider culture and they don't volunteer so in LA people stay home a lot they'll be moving to Coal City very soon well I hope so mate hope so so I guess there's an attitude among like the the elite that if you're not smart enough to earn enough money to live in a safe neighborhood then that's on you I'm not wealthier than my neighbors I just hide it you hide your power levels put on your right so the theme for today what lies do you tell yourself it was this top Australian radio executive who quit the industry after about 30 years and he opened up a chain of smoothie stores so smoothies are very big in Australia and in tandem stands which makes me happy good strawberry or mango smoothie with a protein boost yeah I think this Aussie radio exactly went to America and he had a Jambajur smoothie and he loved it so he came back home to Australia opened up a smoothie chain would say I tell my eyes we tell ourselves I'll tell myself the world will get better when it weren't a kind of denial I tried to hypnotize myself with ideas of denial yeah the world's more dangerous than we consciously think about because we'd go crazy we thought about how dangerous it was so there are irrational beliefs that service very irrational beliefs that hurt us and lots of irrational beliefs such as things will get better that service that calm us down so utility is one measure whether or not a belief is good amount of frustration and hate is astounding I was naive when I was younger and then the LA riots happened a year after I graduated from high school yeah so whereabouts were you living when you graduated from high school like where were you when the riots happened another big wake-up call for people with the OJ Simpson verdict civic palisades in Brentwood bro you've gone downhill you grew up in Pacific Palisades in Brentwood and then you moved to Baldwin Hills you're in Brentwood visited your mother and play down right where did you go wrong to go from Brentwood to Baldwin Hills did you get a drug addiction something must have happened must be a good story there you speak Spanish you could write a memoir from Brentwood to Baldwin Hills so the National Guard on the beach in Playa del Rey during the riots totally surreal I bet do you speak some Spanish a lot of Jews I know speak Spanish I moved in with my mother and brother to help them out about the OJ Simpson verdict was that a wake-up call for you yeah the OJ Simpson verdict represented a huge racial divide in America being in Brentwood with Erie at the time the LA riots of the Orthodox Jewish community is in Fairfax, La Brea and Pico Robinson right on the edge of the LA riots right on the very edge so more and more Orthodox Jews have been buying guns taking classes on self defense how to use their weapons yeah so the verdict like white America was all by the verdict of black America celebrated and white America couldn't understand why black America would celebrate the guy getting away with a double murder you're watching the National Justice Party when you could be watching my very wholesome live stream that's crazy bro what do I think about Greg Conte interesting guy I wouldn't wouldn't you check the engines before the some lack of ability to connect normally so Greg Conte is moving up in the National Justice Party yeah Lubavitch has done that their children goof off send them to private schools healthy-minded black people I know are practically Republicans don't live or think like many they send their kids to private schools don't let them goof off yeah so what's the black Beverly Hills isn't that it's near the airport so called black Beverly Hills is that Boardman Park no that's the black Beverly Hills in Los Angeles it's near the airport they make like black soap operas set there what I think about Chris North the sex in the city being accused of rape you have sympathy for him what about sympathy for the victims bro don't have an opinion I don't know enough Baldwin Hills yeah Parkview Windsor Heights the Deere Hills Blair Hills plus the Culver City yeah that's the black Beverly Hills so I know orthodox Jews who send their kids there to learn swimming some black guy there who teaches swimming a lot of orthodox Jews use so it's a commandant in the Talmud every father must teach his son a trade teach his son how to read must teach him how to swim every Australian pretty much knows how to swim I don't think about Rondomi being in jail since June 2020 all the evidence against him seems pretty strong Inglewood is still rough in the spot so yeah I did jury duty in Inglewood to black ladies I've heard it wouldn't convict the guy who's clearly been drunk driving at blood alcohol tests so he was drunk driving but they said enough in black under in prison to be voted to acquit and to I was the only one who kept the truck in unanimous oh yeah did jury duty in Inglewood pretty grim yeah I was selected I wore my yarmulke I was selected yeah not a very happy part of town become increasingly Hispanic right I know homeless in tandem sands right very little social dysfunction here a lot of people in tandem sands have more charm than teeth I was now as a lot of Australians and Indians they tend to keep to themselves as well why Australian doesn't work so much the other way so very few Asian men in Australia or America married white women the Chinese have good Vegemite recipes no but Coles which is one of the two major supermarket chains here along with willies they now offer like a Vegemite breakfast roll in the in the mood for a Vegemite breakfast roll mate I think it's even more into marriage racial into marriage here in Australian religious in the marriage than in America some reason non-Australians don't appreciate Vegemite Marmite food is what you're used to food is what you grow up with so when I converted to orthodox Judaism my taste buds didn't change I still like the food I grew up with the other any day station women now a Jewish guy after he got a divorce he any any dated black women for a year like he had a really good time so I think it's easier to eroticize and objectify the people of other other races and religions it's more exotic and you know that they're less likely to know your family the Aussies have a cute nickname for Chinese takeaways oh yeah I'll find out sure they do and this is thirsty work excuse me Asian women are Western men are tired of Western women and hyper feminism I prefer Western women so long as they're not liberal maniacs so Asian women seem to be more tolerant of the naughty guys European women I've had two Asian girlfriends my last one was in like 2008 I love Persian women and Israeli women you like Asian food yeah I'm not really into Asian food bro you're a Jew you should be running that flower shop like a boss I'm more of a live streaming book reading kind of guy than a business owner I'm not really cut out to be entrepreneurial my brother's very disgusted with my cash register acumen yeah Asian women do tend to age better looks a word sell Angus what do you mean at my age how old are you so according to YouTube the average age of my chat is about 40 so 90% of my chats between like 25 and 55 according to YouTube like 100% of my audience is male 40 for 40 there's a great live streaming service in Australia for sports it's called KO Sports and they've got I've been watching all of the man in the arena episodes on Tom Brady they've got all of the 3030 series they got all the cricket live streaming got a lot of American football live streaming to watch the Cowboys walk the Redskins 56 to 14 pretty good deal $26 Australian a month that's like 16 bucks American a month for you pretty much all your live streaming sporting needs then Stan it's like an Australian version of napcraft and how about a female demographic man I've been studying decoding the gurus so that I had a guru wandering out back so you all got together Saturday night and watched the James Bond movie Quantum of Solace there's my brother going at it my brother's a more practical man than I am yes so all the family got together Saturday night and watched Quantum of Solace on Stan pretty good James Bond flick starring Daniel Craig so Angus have we ever met we should have met man we both in Jewish Los Angeles yeah the last one's okay one of my least favorite Bond ones we've never met mate how can you live in Jewish Los Angeles for 30 years and me live in Jewish Los Angeles 30 years and we've never met I'll let you try Vegemite Angus so I guess we don't work in the same industries so how long have you been into distant politics Angus ever since the yellow riots here to de-radicalize you man just another hour until smoke-o what do they call takeaway food in Australia is there a nickname for it junk food no what about Chinese takeaway is there a nickname for it no they just call it takeaways no no special lingo for Chinese takeaways that's just a pointing sorry mate we ever voted for the Democrats if you ever voted non-Republican I think I may have voted for Bill Clinton in 90 no I don't think I did now I voted for Libra when I was in Australia in 1990 just figured I should once in Queensland voted for pro then Clinton then after that Republicans like Dolan Romney and that's it's not giving you the high quality viewing experience active grow this is almost as good as beef organ capsules might improve with 16 active ingredients to improve soil health and yield including chicken manure rich organic compost efficiency weed blood and some cow manure iron and zealot zealot zealot life wonder if this is edible sounds really good for you use some Alexander Techner freeing my neck directing my head up leaving my whole torso into length so my back and length and widen thinking about freedom in my ankles freedom in my hips freedom in my knees I last voted damn when Elliot Spitzer was the Attorney General in New York I haven't voted since 2004 let's say I can avoid your duty God forbid stay in your Shiva kids and stay off the crack or you'll end up in a menu labor job so everyone has to wear a mask indoors in public places but because I'm outside don't have to wear one there's the lizard in a way don't get this kind of high quality entertainment on network TV only vote for a dam we ran against the grain of their own party and only if they were better than the Republican okay I'm gonna get some fed didn't come work done bye bye


I know most of you, but I'm Rex Chisholm from Northwestern University, one of the co-chairs of this meeting. I'm actually really delighted to see everybody here pulling this meeting together. I think it came together at fairly short notice, as many of you know because you were asked to do something like three days ago, but it's really an effort to move forward. It's a very important strategic area for an HGRI, and obviously I think a very important strategic area for all of us in this room. This is actually a series of meetings. NHGRI organized a meeting in Chicago last June. I think many of you attended that. It was a terrific meeting. There was a lot of really good exchange of data, and I think probably the most important you're going to hear some detail, a detailed overview of that meeting in a few minutes. For those of you that didn't attend, and even for those of you that did, I think there was a lot of really great data sharing, and I think one of the things that came out of that was there is a lot of activity in this area of genomic medicine. We heard, and I'm sure Eric Green will expand on this when he makes his comments, but one of the interesting things that we heard at the NHGRI strategic planning retreat that ultimately led to the current strategic plan, I know Eric will mention that, was a meeting at Early House in I think July of last year, and that meeting was interesting because there was a fair amount of debate, a very vigorous and active debate about just whether or not genomics was ready for prime time. I think one of the messages all of us came away from the Chicago meeting was, it's definitely ready for prime time, and any of you that happened to turn on the news in the morning as you watch, you know, brushing your teeth or whatever, may have seen an ad that appeared this morning from a local healthcare organization that touted how genomics was going to be the future of medicine, and they were going to be the ones to apply it. So obviously it's now in the public domain in these places of, I don't know this healthcare organization, I won't disparage it at all, but one worries that there are people out there that are hyping genomics and genomic medicine, and so it's the group in this room that's really going to be the ones that make that happen and make it real, I think. So we need to take ownership and make sure it actually moves forward in a reasonable way rather than as a hype way. So this is the second in the series of meetings. This meeting has been funded by NHGRI, and then there will be a third meeting, we'll talk more about that later, May 3rd and 4th in Chicago, so there will be more activity along this. The goals for this meeting are to develop ideas for multi-center collaborative pilot projects in translational genomic medicine, and we've really organized the meeting around trying to get people together in groups so that you can hear about what kinds of projects are going on. All of these are projects by virtue of the fact that they're being presented that are open to other sites becoming involved or replicating at their local site. So the idea is we want to try to maximize these kinds of interactions and start to get some network sort of self-organizing. We want to learn about new projects that are ongoing at each of the sites represented in this room, and another important issue is we want to identify infrastructure needs and possible solutions to speed up the adoption of genomic medicine, and again NHGRI, together with the Welcome Trust, last week sponsored a meeting that at least several in the room were at. To look at one of those areas of infrastructure, which is databases, sort of what we're calling the ClinVar, ClinAction space, that was to look at database structures and how one goes about defining what a clinically valid or clinically actionable variant might be, and we're going to hear a summary of that meeting, which just happened Thursday and Friday from Mark Williams in a few minutes. And then we want to establish mechanisms for sharing of best practices among genomic centers, and there obviously one of those mechanisms are meetings like this, but there's been some discussion about whether we should have a more formal structure, and I think maybe we'll hear some more about that a bit later on in the meeting as well. So I wanted to make sure that we did this before we got too far. I wanted to also thank the people that made this meeting possible. Mark Graves from Northwestern and Ian Marperie from the NHGRI were really the folks that many of you interacted with, and we wouldn't be sitting here without their hard work, Simuli Maureen Smith from Northwestern and of course NHGRI for funding, and just so that you can see who to blame if this all falls apart. Here's the coordinating committee for the meeting. So more importantly, if you have any suggestions about what we should be doing at subsequent meetings in this series, any members of this group would be delighted to hear from you, and I'll call out Dan Rodin in particular because he's going to be one of the leaders for the next one that will happen in May. So sorry, Terry.


Hey what's up you guys, welcome back to my channel. If you're new here, hi, hello, I'm Lydia and if you are new here, make sure you hit the subscribe button while you're down there and turn notifications on so you never miss a video. And also hit the thumbs up button because we all like clicking buttons. Today I thought we'd do a Get Ready With Me. This question is, what made you start a mental health YouTube channel? So I started this channel seven years ago. I started making mental health videos because I was not doing group myself. I was really alone, really isolated and I didn't want other people to feel that way. I made it so other people would feel less alone. The next question is, what's your favorite game to play? My favorite game at the minute is Spirit of the North. It's such a lovely game. The next question is, what's one thing you wish people understood about your mental illness? I wish that people understood that it's not always bad, but it is a hidden, it's an invisible little thing. And because it's an invisible illness, you can't see how well someone's doing. I'd say the mental illness is a hidden thing. It's not obvious how someone's doing. You have to allow for the fact that people might not be doing it as well as you think they're doing. Next question is, what's your advice to someone who's suicidal? My best bit of advice is, surround yourself by the positive things in your life. No matter how hard it is to see the positives, bow there. Reach out to someone with support, because you're not alone, and people care about you. Next, we've got plans now you've had to leave uni for a minute. I'm gonna focus on YouTube. I wanna make my videos as good as I can, and I wanna work on my YouTube channel. I was gonna try and get a job, but with my medication, it just doesn't work out right. I did have a job interview, and for next Tuesday, to be a custody officer. Because it's shift work, I wouldn't be able to take my nightmares. And that's the medication that I need, because it has my heroperidol, lithium, auto-oxidone. It has all the medicines that I need to keep myself stable. So, yeah, I'm gonna focus on YouTube and really put myself into it. I just downloaded a new editing software that I can't wait to try out. Next question is, how are you? I'm okay. I dyed my hair like this yesterday. It's about to be clean. But I'm doing okay. How are all of you doing? Let me know in the comments down below. Thanks for watching this video, and if you are new, make sure you hit the subscribe button. Make sure you have notifications on, so you don't miss posts that I do, because I do polls on the community tower here. And yeah, that's all I've got for this video. Thank you for watching, and I'll see you guys in my next video. Peace.


Jerome Bruner's theory of development is based on the assumption that we learn best when we go from concrete to abstract in a three-step process. First comes hands-on action, then learning with images, and finally, students transform what they've learned into language. Throughout the experience, we constantly revisit previously learned topics, while teachers provide carefully structured guidance along the way, and it seems to work. In the 1980s, the Singaporean government decided to stop importing foreign textbooks and, instead, build the world's best maths curriculum from scratch. Since that time, Singaporeans study fewer concepts with greater detail, following Bruner's guideline. Before we learn how well this worked out, let's go through each step of the theory with an example. First, we learn through inactive representation. This happens in hands-on experiences, ideally with real-world applications. To divide four by two, two students learn to cut a cake into four slices, so each can eat one now and bring one home later. Step two is iconic representation. We now link our memories of the experience to iconic pictures. Students are asked to draw a cake that was cut into four pieces. It comes symbolic representation. We now use the images we internalized earlier and turn them into abstract language, such as mathematical symbols. Using a little bit of retrospection, we can easily solve the problem. This last phase is also called language-based, because we are really just learning the right words and symbols to express our thoughts. The actual maths knowledge was acquired much earlier through hands-on experiences. Bruna, therefore, advocated for the use of spiral curriculum with continuous repetition of the same fundamental ideas. The curriculum is comprised of three characteristics. Students revisit the same topic at regular intervals. The complexity of the topic increases with each revisit. The new learning has a relationship with previous learning. Teachers also use scaffolding, a term coined by Bruna. Students do this by structuring activities based on students' existing knowledge and in a way that helps them to reach the desired learning outcome. The teacher first demonstrates the process as the student watches. Then the teacher lets the student have a go, steps back, and offers support and feedback when needed. Today, by the way, Singapore's fourth and eighth graders are the world's best in both mathematics and science. And Singapore's maths curriculum is copied by educators from around the world. Jerome Bruna was born blind in New York City in 1915. At age two, modern medicine restored his vision. Later, he returned the favor by becoming a pioneer in cognitive development. He believed that any subject can be taught in an intellectually honest form to any child at any stage of development. What do you think about Bruna's theory and his suggestion for better learning? Is this how you learn in your studies? If not, what is one subject that you think could be made more understandable by following his ideas?


I'm David Schindler, I'm the Senior Director and Executive Producer of Event Presentation and Production. So for the first time in 20 years, the Titans are looking for a new public address announcer. Duke Donoghan has held the position since day one, and he's done an incredible job. And it's now time to find the next voice for Titans Games. The public address announcer gives all the information on Game Day. They are the voice of Nissan Stadium. The Titans PA announcer is the person who brings the excitement to the Game Day atmosphere. So we're looking for the best PA announcer we can find. NFL franchise, great opportunity. We want to bring the excitement to Titans Games. So we put a call out there, send us your demo tapes, send us a statement of why you are qualified to be the Titans PA announcer. What makes you special and unique? And we've received hundreds of applications, everyone from professional public address announcers, other professional teams, collegiate teams, radio broadcasters, some folks who are just huge fans who want to throw their hat in the ring. Who wouldn't want to be the Tennessee Titans PA announcer? I've loved this team for a lot of years. Why do I want to be the voice of the Tennessee Titans at Nissan Stadium? I live Titans Blue.  I have been professionally announcing for NBA halftime shows for more than 30 years. Hello and welcome to Nissan Stadium for tonight's National Football League matchup between the visiting Houston, Texas and your Tennessee Titans. Tannihil's pass is complete to AJ Brown for a game of 12 on the play. That makes it first and goal for the Titans from the six yard line. Ladies and gentlemen, this next item up for bid is Ryan Tannihil's game use helmet. $1,000 is the only bigity to be $20,000 sold right there. Now, we're supposed to do a video of why we want to be the PA announcer and why not? Absolutely love the Titans would love to be their PA announcer and be the guy who says first down Titans. I feel like I am exceptionally qualified for this position. The other thing is, is I like cats. I've got experience at events around the world and across the country. I've worked in events in 24 countries across the globe, including the Olympic Games in 2016. I'm always prepared and I will execute. I'm asking to be part of the Tennessee Titans family where together we work closely to make sure we are creating for our fans and for our team the absolute best atmosphere in all of the NFL. So we've had hundreds of applicants and we've chosen 20 semifinalists to come to Nissan Stadium to do a live in-person audition. We're going to narrow it down to five finalists and then the fans are going to get to view those five finalists online and they're going to get to vote on who the next Titans PA announcer is.


Recent events have highlighted the need for unmanned remote sensing in dangerous areas, particularly where structures have collapsed where explosions have occurred, to limit hazards, to first responders, and increase their efficiency in planning response operations. In the case of the Fukushima nuclear reactor explosion, an unmanned helicopter capable of obtaining overhead images, gathering radiation measurements, and mapping both the structural and radiation content of the environment would have given the response team invaluable data early in the disaster, thereby allowing them to understand the extent of the damage in areas where dangers to personnel existed. With this motivation, the unmanned systems lab at Virginia Tech has developed a remote sensing system for radiation detection and aerial imaging using a 90 kilograms autonomous helicopter and sensing payloads for the radiation detection and imaging operations. The radiation payload, which is the sensor of focus in this paper, consists of a scintillating type detector with associated software and novel search algorithms to rapidly and effectively map and locate sources of high radiation intensity. By incorporating this sensing technology into an unmanned aerial vehicle system, crucial situational awareness can be gathered.

Sup guys welcome back to another video. It's it's gonna be a cracker Well, I hope it is it's a running back his name's James Connor He's listed as playing for the Cardinals and for whatever reason when I think of James Connor I think of the Steelers. I don't know if that's right. I don't know if it's wrong all of that and more will be revealed Here we are number 80 on the list of the top 100 NFL players for 2022 James Connor They're gonna go wildcat with Connor who takes the snap Connor runs left I love a bit of wildcat actually look with six minutes six seconds in Probably about two minutes into the video and I've already paused it But what I will say is that the first time I saw wildcat or the first time actually Yeah, saw it called and put the name in the and the play together was when Adrian Peterson did it in his comeback game last year Pretty sure it was for the Seahawks might be wrong But I don't mind a bit of wildcat you put the running back in at quarterback and give them free reign To make something happen. I love that play His things like this happen That's what James Connor has brought to this football team. He's brought that toughness that downhill running mentality And James Connor the ball, baby would not be denied Where's Aaron Donald when you need him James Connor is a guy that I admire on and off the field He has a book and his story is amazing.  He's like he's he has like unstoppable heart James Connor story has been well documented Overcoming cancer in college to become an NFL starter Yes After four years with the Steelers and that would be why I see him as a stealer He began a new chapter last season in Arizona where he continues to rewrite the book on Perseverance he actually reminds me of Jared Hane. He really does He reminds me of a slightly younger version of Jared Hane, especially being in that red uniform It might not be the 49ers, but it's close here in He's like one of those guys like you can't bring him down easily He's gonna fight for every senior and he fights for everything that he does When you have a power back like that, it's very intimidating and even for a deep end event like me You don't want to tackle that. I don't want to tackle James Connor.  You just don't want to stick your face in that. It doesn't seem safe He will bloody your face trying to tackle him Jesus he doesn't look the biggest I mean he looks about six foot two hundred and twenty odd pounds six one two thirty-three Pittsburgh from twenty thirteen to sixteen picked up in the third round with pick number one hundred and five in the 2017 draft Two-time Pro Bowler 2018 and 2021. He's been used both along the ground and through the air. It seems three thousand and fifty four rushing yards One thousand three hundred and thirty eight receiving yards to playoff games in his career. Sadly, both have been a loss Connor has always been known for his toughness But in 2021 he displayed a new explosiveness that resulted in a career-high 18 touchdowns 18 touchdowns James Connor was when he came here. I mean some of the catches he's made That was leading the league and rushing touchdowns 15 Sorry lead leading the league in total touchdowns with with 18. Yeah, my bad What have I missed? Anybody knew how athletic James Connor was when he came here. I mean some of the catches he's made and some of the plays some of the runs after the catch Incredible Incredibly athletic play by James Connor This is the part of James Connor's game that nobody on the offensive side of the ball saw coming His ability to be in it might as well hit him with something Receiver out of the back field. Ah Just what he's been through that what he did in stride one hand catch this season in particular I mean should they hit Deondre Hopkins as well Kyla Murray Chandler Jones on the opposite side of the ball the Russian touchdowns all the touchdowns The one he'd be catches running people over I mean, hopefully you guys play this you're showing this as the highlights because Should be an all-star, you know it I'm a huge fan. I Love that guy I'm not surprised Chandler Jones loves them because when the defense goes off the field and The offense comes on and you've got a guy like James Connor With the the sheer toughness.  He's a running back I love my running backs and with that being said let's get into the next video number 79 Rich Sean Slater Thanks guys, and I'll see you soon. Peace
