While she long career at the Library, including her completing a PhD under William Watson at the Perseval David Foundation of Chinese Art in 1984,acious or co-curated numerous exhibitions, such as a major one called Chinese Print Making Today, which travelled widely across the British Isles. She also produced many important publications. Some of these books have achieved attention far beyond the area of Chinese art and culture from the very early era o berthynas ar ddechrau a'r ddechrau.

Francis Wood was an advocate for China long before this came into vogue in the west since the turn of the century. She has been at the heart of the UK's historically tight-knit group of sinologists as an early member of the Society for Anglo-Chinese Understanding, a fellow of the 48 Group Club and a member of the Steering Committee of the International Dunhuang Project. She has long been a reliable British authority on China, whether for lunches at Downing Street or evenings at the Embassy. She would balk, however, at being seen as an insider. Rather, she is, in the best sense of the term, a public intellectual. She's been a frequent contributor to BBC Radio 4 programmes like In Our Time and on topics far beyond Marco Polo. She even represented her alma mater Newnham College Cambridge on a Christmas special of university challenge in 2012. Her scholarly output, her career and indeed her status as a living national treasure were celebrated when she was invited to be a castaway on desert island discs in 2010. She spoke passionately about the Diamond Sutra, the exemplar of the earliest printing in China in the collection of the British Library. She has since not shied away from reminding our research institutions that research should be at the heart of what they do. Wood has been and continues to be an experienced and always engaging interpreter of China to diverse audiences both in the UK and in China. She is as comfortable drawing on her research on the historical Silk Road to address a conference of business and planning leaders in China today as she is engaging with school teachers and school children visiting the Chinese collections in the British Library. Launching a volume of scholarly research or teaching on the SOAS postgraduate diploma course in Chinese art. Simply put, Francis Wood is much cherished by so many people from all over the world. The respect and admiration of those individuals, including many of those she has taught, underpinned the founding of the Francis Wood Appreciation Society, which continues to meet regularly in London to celebrate her and what she has done. Not just her scholarship, but also her passion, her wit and her mature attitude to China and Chinese culture. Having nominated Francis for this honorary doctorate from SOAS on the occasion of her retirement, I was honoured to be invited to deliver this citation. It gives me the greatest pleasure to see Francis receive this award today, despite her modesty, in recognition of her many outstanding achievements and her distinguished contribution to public life in the field of Chinese art and culture. Thank you so very much. I feel very overwhelmed. I think it's quite important perhaps to point out that one of the things that Shane missed out of my curriculum vita was my rather unsuccessful period as a very junior librarian in SOAS. Almost whenever I come into SOAS, I still have that sense of being a very junior member of staff. I joined the library more than 30 years ago, as I say, a very junior member of staff, and failed miserably to ascend the great ladder of promotion. I remember there were various carrots offered by the librarian. He would say, do a PhD and we'll see. So I did a PhD and saw nothing. His next offer was that I should obtain a library qualification and we would see about promotion. But that was a step too far for me. My father, who ended his career as principal keeper of the Department of Printed Books in the British Museum, had attempted to gain library qualifications before the Second World War. He found the course unutterally boring, failed the exams and retained a lifelong prejudice against people with library qualifications. So I obtained no library qualifications during my time at SOAS, but I am eternally grateful to SOAS for various aspects of its support for me in my work and life. It gave me the support to struggle through the PhD with Professor Watson, and I must also thank SOAS for allowing me to take a year's leave off to go to China, as Shane mentioned, on a British Council scholarship in 1975. Though 1975 to 1976 was a very peculiar year in China, it was the last year of the Cultural Revolution, although we did not know it at the time, but it had a very profound effect on me. My language improved immeasurably and I had a wonderful time taking photographs of old buildings and measuring houses for my PhD. Ever since then, I have greatly enjoyed writing about China and Chinese history. My aim has simply always been just to pass on my fascination with this very different culture. In recent years, I've also been lucky enough, I think, to lecture on the diploma in Asian Arts, which is held at SOAS, run by Hattie. These diploma courses attract the most interesting students, just like all of the rest of you here, interesting students who make teaching so amazingly pleasurable. And I also think sometimes when I spend a weekend in the countryside and fantasise about living in rural isolation, how lucky I am to live in London with access to SOAS. There are fascinating lectures of all sorts that semi-outsiders like myself can attend, attending seminars run by people like Professor Hawks or Shane. They expand our knowledge and refresh our interest and I'm terribly honoured to feel that I've got a very small part in this great institution. I'd finally like to say too that I recommend to all of you the library at SOAS. When I was there, even though I was very junior, in the 1970s, it was the most important research library for Chinese, certainly in Europe and possibly further. As I remember, librarians from Leiden coming and spending months photocropping so much material in SOAS, which was unique to Europe. And SOAS Library has more recently helped me greatly. I was invited to give a lecture at the Globe Theatre in London when they were putting on a production of Richard III in Chinese. So giving a lecture there seemed to me to be a very important thing, but I was horrified to discover that the British Library in its wisdom had sent its two copies of Richard III in Chinese up to the north of England and lost them. However, as I panicked, I found a copy in SOAS. So in small ways and in large ways, SOAS has done a great deal for me and I'm deeply honoured by this event today. Thank you very much.


Hello, thank you for joining me happy new year. This is my first video of 2021 come out for driving my Larder as you can see We have come to a railway. We've come to the Northampton and Lamport railway Which is about five miles north of Northampton. I last came here in 2002 So it's a bit different from when I last came and there's a couple of Frames of steam locomotives here. I think one of them is the Great Western Railway Hall But it's more of a diesel day today Although we should see a couple of steam locomotives which are here So I'm going to walk out the car park We're going to go and have a look at Pittsford and Brampton station Which is currently the only station on this little railway As I say, I last visited here in 2002 when I was a child and they had a DMU running Which I believe has now gone to the Struss Bay railway So it will definitely be a different train. I can hear a diesel ticking over So we're probably, well I know we're getting a diesel all-train because that's what I said I booked the tickets online the other day and it said it would be a diesel all-train So I already know that Anyway, so there's a pub there called Brampton Hall Pittsford and Brampton station is situated halfway between the villages of Chapel Brampton that way And some up the hill Pittsford So here's the station The original station buildings unfortunately have been demolished But there's some newer ones which have come from our places There's a very Midland looking signal box up there So we'll have to go and have a look at that And let's have a look So there's a train in front of us now So that's probably our train marked to Coaching Stock So I can hear the ticking over of the diesel And then looking down that way I can see the carriages and everything Let's go and have a look see what our loco is for today It's going to be a winning loco for me I know that because I've not had any of the loco's here So that's the original signal box just there So that's the one part of the station that is original Here we are to pass 31 Cool Phoenix 31 289 Built by Brush in 1961 So that's our train Looking up the line that way I can see a class 33 47 to mark three carriages There's another mark three carriage just here Which is also the buffet So I think it's a pretty good time to go and get a cup of tea Before I go for a ride on the train So I'm sat here at the northern ended line Giving me a glass of sherry So when I get off the train I have to go for a bit of a walk To walk off before driving home Also got a mince pie which I'm going to eat As soon as I finish this clip So I'll show you a couple of things This is the interior of our mark two carriage Nicely decorated for Christmas If you look out there It's the Brampton And you can see as far as the line goes on that side Main HPLC There's a bridge beyond the loco So it seems I've got to restore that bridge Before trains can continue So the loco's taken us out of the station north Where they're going to reverse back down to the other end of the line See what we see there My plan is once we've done that I'm going to go for a walk down that way I'll come for a walk this way Possibly not all the way But see what time is I'll have to walk off that sherry though So we're going Yeah we're going back now So we're going to now enjoy the Northampton Shish scenery Heading that way So we've come as far south as we're going to come There's, it's hard to see from here But there's actually a viaduct I might be able to show you on this side of the train I'll see if you can see So well basically there is a viaduct A very low viaduct Just beyond the train It's starting to rain I can have a look over there You might actually be able to see the river I believe that's the river Neen So another Neen very railway There's a viaduct down there Which takes a railway over a tributary And a bit of a flood plain It's a very low viaduct My plan is When we've had this train ride We'll walk down there And see what we can see of it But right now We're waiting for our Fresh behind the 31 Back up to the other end of the line And then it reverses back to the railway station Just come across the crossing From the railway station Looking south towards Northampton We'll go down there We'll go down there next This is looking north It's quite good here Just get a nice view Of the railway station itself Train's gone off on another journey So the train's up there now Which we might see it come back past But if we go up here What's good is You get a really good view Of some of the other locos And rolling stock You know it's basically past the sidings So we'll have a wander up here Get a nice view of the station So there probably would have been Another platform here So as for the railway itself This line originally ran from Northampton to Market-Hambra It opened in 1858 Pittsburgh and Brampton station Was added a year later in 1859 The station closed in 1950 But the line itself hung on until 1981 So it's fairly recent In terms of closure Certainly closed way after beach in Zera Although as I said the passenger Local passenger service had already gone Quite a long time before It was then You know when railways closed The idea of preservation comes along In 1995 they ran their first train In 1996 They had their grand opening So as I said earlier that's the I believe that's the only original building A single walk So it's a relatively new coming To the preservation scene It is expanding Plamster Extend both ways Some one of their more recent Acquisitions is this Mark III Buffer Co It's actually one of a few Mark III carriages So it doesn't seem long ago Only a couple of years ago Well yeah it was 2020 They finished 2019 I was still writing these up and down To Norwich Loads of older videos on my channel Of them at Norwich What I never saw at Norwich Was one being hauled by a Pandia tank Sword and bin hauled by Class 90s But yeah Sorry Pandia tank Saddle tank Never did I see one Well or a Pandia tank for that matter Little packets Bit incongruous really Isn't it seeing They go together Already seeing that But yeah Maybe I have to come back Another day have arrived behind that There's a shed there There is another steam loco In the shed Another industrial steam loco You might just be able to see that See that there Just in the shed doors There's also industrial diesels Have a look at that But if we wander up here We will find a couple more diesels And we have Well and more mark 3 carriages So what have we got? We've got Class 33 Or Crombtum as they're known as I've had loads of Class 33 haulages It seems at one point Every time I went to a area To drill on a diesel day I ended up getting Class First 3 haulage And today obviously I've got a Class 31 Winning loco haulage So very happy with that That 31 was at the Spa Valley Railway though For quite a while So I knew I'd seen it before I couldn't remember until I looked up on my notes So it's 33, 05, 3 And Class 47, 47, 205 And then there's a Mark 1 carriage Not a passenger carriage And there's another Mark 3 carriage An ex angler So of course these These carriages would have been used On the West Coast mainline Before the Pendelinos replaced them They were displaced Ended up working the trains out of Norwich And then they have more recently been displaced By the Stadler flirt units So it's a shame to sort of see them finish Mainline service But you know they did so many miles So it's good to see quite a few of them Have earned their place in preservation So yeah another loco hauled Mark 3 carriage And then there's a few more of them In the next siding And well I'll show you what else We have to see So there's a few sidings here There's actually that technically That could be used as a run round loop Because at the moment The way it runs is that The loco is at one end And they have like a guard stroke driver At the other who basically communicates with the driver So there's no run round loops at either end Although what we'll do I believe they are building one At the other end of the line Which we'll see when we get there Is that the train coming back? I believe it is There's a river here I think this is the river Not this is the river Neen But the other river is River Neen Obviously this isn't Neen very rarely But it's another Neen very rarely Anyway Let's watch the train go past So as the class 31 propels the train back to the station We're going to continue I want to show you what's in this siding There's a signal there Line is fully signaled The signal did Five minute bit further on You'd have seen the signal Arm drop back to danger But I was only there So here Just up here in this siding We have a few more Mark 3 carriages Seems really funny though To me I think seeing these in preservation Because I'm so used to them I've never travelled on them On the west coast main lines Yeah I didn't really ever travel On long distance trains much It was I first travelled on them On the great on the line west East Anglian main line to Norwich And then when I started travelling on the west coast main line I've only ever done it on Pendelinos Or other commuter trains And then here is one of the DVTs So I tell you what I do think it really feels strange Is seeing anything with a sloped front On heritage lines I've been to a few other heritage lines lately And there'd be like an HST power car And that I think just feels funny I mean it's great I'm glad to see them in preservation But it just seems strange To think we've come to the point now Where stuff I remember in use as a child Is now in preservation So seeing as we've come this far Didn't rise I wasn't going to walk to the buffer stops Probably still won't But there's a bridge here Let's have a look at this bridge Is this a more like a girder bridge And I believe this is the River Neen Down the other end When we were on the train We saw there was a viaduct So we've got to go and have a look at that I think so yeah But it's flowing that way Unless I've just got it in my head It's the River Neen and it isn't But I know the River Neen does flow this way So yeah there's a river And we're on a bridge So yeah the row of cars on that way I'm going to go down the other end And see what we can see down That end of the line I've just walked up here to the southern end of the railway That's the southern buffer stop And there's the new station which is in the process of opening Just over there We're going to have a look at that The railway need to continue Across where those traffic lights are You can follow it as a path Down into Milton Keynes Long Yield Railway Try to bed But that is very much a video for another day But what we've come down here mainly to see Is the bit of the line that we didn't travel on Because they're still working on this southern extension So this is the new Morton crossing station here So the bay platform is quite a long platform So I'm very much looking forward to this opening It'll probably happen in the next Well they say the next year We'll have to wait and see I'm thinking possibly when it does happen It'll be a bit of a walk I might come by train And walk If it was a nice day Walk up the old track bed To catch a train here So as you can see That's the new railway station See across the valley over there There's some other sidings in that So I saw it all as I walked down And some from the train So I can point out a few things along the line Easier to point out from the line than from the train Because it's quite good here The fact that the track was once double And now it's single There is this cycleway It's nice that the cycleway can be here As well as the railway Because sometimes it's very much one or the other So it's very good for line sighting here So what I'm going to do Keep walking I'll show you a few things up there And we'll keep heading back towards the station Now walk down to the other end of the new platform There's a few things to see up here There are seven or four signals There's also like a works train There are some people actively work on the extension Getting it ready for when it reopens And there's a ride up here Which is quite a low vibe But quite a nice thing to see Some other seven or four signals So I want to have a look at the viaduct Which requires some work Before passenger trains can run over it But that is also something that's going to happen So people who live here Will soon have an heritage railway And they've got what they already have Just that there's not really any passenger trains So if we look here You can see some people in orange Oving They're obviously working on the extension There's the new signal and signal box Nice lattice post signal It looks like a brand new signal box The one that fits from Brampton I believe is original But this one is new There's also another one Further along which is I'll talk about when we get there So that's your new signal box There's also some siding going into there So it looks like I've got a little permanent way And then here Parked here is the works train And there's also another diesel loco So we'll have a look at that And then we'll keep walking Back to the railway station And see what else we can see So you can just see That's the permanent way Depot in there Not a lot to see I know We're just coming to the To the works train here It's got a little industrial diesel loco Not too knowledgeable on industrial diesel loco Because there's just so many And we'll have a look That looks like That's a big old mill over there Besides the line There's a lot of equine places Lots of horses Smells of horses around here So yeah, horses and trains Here we have a locomotive Rustin and Hornsby So I'm going to leave the loco here And walk back to the station And show you a couple of things on the way And just come a couple of hundred yards Up from the station where we were The new station Coming up to Pittsford siding So we're going very slightly uphill An uphill gradient of One in 204 So it's not exactly a steep hill But it's still a hill When we get to the siding up there You'll be able to see What's level and what's the gradient But this is the viaduct So obviously there have been two tracks As I mentioned earlier We go down here Have a look at the viaduct So it's a very, very low viaduct I'm really just covering a flood plain That's not supposed to come down here But anyway So yeah, see how low the arches are That I'm taller than them There's a stream up here I'm wondering if I can jump across the stream If it's not enough to go back Because I want to get back to the station It's time to watch next train go So and see how the viaduct is held together These metal braces pull it all together Right, and here's this stream Now if I can't get over the stream I'm going to have to run back Yeah, it does look a bit Yeah, okay, I'm not I'm not jumping across that So I wanted to go up those steps So I'm going to have to go back there To get back to the railway station So I'm going to come back Run over the viaduct And now on this side That's why I couldn't quite jump across So there's the viaduct Go ahead north And get to the Hittsford sidings Just here See some wagons So if you look at that level The line is dropping down Towards Northampton Now the interesting thing There was here That was once a big quarry Northampton's year area is very well known For its iron stone There's various other heritage railways Which have links to Iron stone in the area And we'll have to visit them in the future But there was a branch I really had no idea it was there Until I got here today But there was a branch out into those fields Which little industrial tank engines Would have worked See wagons like this one here This grey one That's an iron ore wagon They would have worked lots of them Bringing the iron ore out of the earth And to various other places Nice seven four signal And you've also got It's quite nice seeing the Therograph wires Running beside the line Very much a scene from Former times When they would have communicated With you know each Signal box And so there's a signal box Just up here You can see we're gradually Going to be the same level as siding This one I believe came from Wolverton Works It's not the original Signal box On the site But it's been nicely restored And then further up here The path Moves to the other side of the railway Because you may have noticed when we were at the station The railway platform was against the rail Here so yeah the footpath Just south of the station bridge Moves to the other side So we're coming up to Pittsford siding signal box now And then I'm going to run back to the station And go and see the train Probably have a cup of tea So yeah What did I say about these Mark 3s I remember travelling on them I'm sitting inside one now Not going to go anywhere But if you buy a cup of tea From the Mark 1 carriage Just over there There's nowhere to sit in there So you have to come in here and sit and drink it So I've just had a cup of tea What I'm going to do now We'll go outside I'll just show you into here one of these So it's really nice Still got the greater anglia moquette So yeah Still in a greater anglia Mark 3 carriage Even though they're finished That said I have been on one I've been on some first class ones On the Staycation Express last year No it's not last year now It's 2020 Because we're in 2022 aren't we Have a look at the English screen now Anyway so yeah Inside a Mark 3 carriage What a nice way to end my visit This is actually a buffet I'll probably have bought a beer From this actual buffet once So yeah What I'm going to do now I'll just show you one more thing Outside There's some So that's the carriage So we'll just go to where There's a couple of these Locals we saw them from the foot bath But we'll just have another look here So there's a diesel course That out for wood And there's the little peckett Steam locomotive So one day we'll have to come back And do this line with steam We'll go back onto the platform And finally finish the video So hope you've enjoyed this video Thank you very much for watching And you know if you're up this way Why not come and have a ride On the Northampton and Lamport Railway It's a very pleasant little railway I've had a great time here today You can do a pleasant walk as well Nice walk beside the railway So perfect for line siding So from Pittsford and Brampton Station Thank you very much for watching Once again, happy new year And please do feel free to like, subscribe and comment Goodbye

All right, welcome back. It's still the breakfast on Plus TV Africa. And let me just correct myself. The attack indeed happened on Sunday and not on Monday along the Keduna Abuja Highway. And we have joining us, Imanu Yawai, national publicist secretary of the ACF. Good morning to you, Mr. Yawai. Many thanks for joining us on the breakfast on Plus TV Africa. Good morning, good morning. Thank you, please. All right, we are read off from the papers this morning. And the ACF is actually describing that particular incident that happened on Sunday as a national shame. This is not the false type that we have seen such attacks on the Abuja Keduna Highway. What exactly has the federal government refused to see and what direction should we be pointing them to? You didn't say what? The one that the government has done what? What have they failed to see in as much as this is not the false time that that particular road has been prone to attacks? So what should we be doing proactively? They should be gathering information. One of the former ACF SCBA was killed. That particular spot, there have been many attacks there. People have been kidnapped there. People have been killed there. And we wonder why a government like that has been spending so much on security, cannot surveil a particular spot and stop this criminal attack from taking place at that very particular spot. So we think they are not doing their job seriously. If they are doing, they have helicopters. They have aircraft. They have police on the road. They have the SSS. They have everything that it takes to surveil this place and catch these petty criminals who are making life so difficult for everybody. That is what we feel. The federal and the state government, they should be coordination between the federal, corona and the Niger state government who cover this. That rule belongs to the federal government. But it covers itself from coronacy. It goes through Niger state. And it ends up in the federal territory. It's a very strategic rule. It links states like Kano, Sokoto, all the states in the northwest. Most of them go through the road. So that you allow your citizenry to be not terrorized on such a strategic rule. I don't know how to describe it if not it's not the same to the whole country. It's a shame. And it has been going on for a long time.  These people even now have us to attempt to attack the real line, which is the alternative that some of us take when we are going to Kano, the real line. So very soon, people traveling by rail will not be seen to Kano. That's the danger we are facing. OK, so I'd like to find out what happened to the tactical team that was deployed by the former IGP of Pleas, Ibrahim Idris, at the time, in collaboration with the Special Forces, which was actually postulated as a permanent solution on that particular road. The permanent solution is what you see today. Continued theories, continued kidnappings, continued harassment of innocent citizens who are pursuing their legitimate aspirations. That is not a permanent solution. The criminal activities have continued on their road or abated. There's no solution. They've not found a solution to it. And we are asking the government, that is why if there's a government and the government cannot protect life or property, that government has no business of being in existence. All these promises, promises, promises, and the situation get worse. I used to drive on that road. Sometimes I might. Sometimes I'll leave Abuja Thair, but I'm there. Me alone in my car, I have nothing left. Oh, look at what is happening.  Sometimes security men themselves. Why did the former chief of our army start dying? They had to take a flight from Karnat to Abuja. It's not a long distance. If you are traveled by a man, probably he would have been alive. But he had to take a flight. And the flight crashed and he died. In distance from Abuja to Karnat. But my question is, why don't we have security personnel manning these roads? Because four years ago at Daribah, it was a main saying, we're going to deploy. There was a team of 500 men that were deployed to that road. Like I mentioned, in collaboration with the Special Forces. So like you have mentioned, you have been flying the road. Do you still see men of the tactical team or the Special Forces on that road? I mean, on earth and on land. They are there, but we wonder what they are doing. Whether they are doing their job properly, sometimes you see them relaxing on the mango trees and all that. They are there. The security men are there. But how can they be there? When are the cell spots that this director was killed? That is the killing spot. What can they do? What kind of surveillance are they carrying? They are there on the road. But at the cell spot, either people are killed there or people are killed there. That means into the bush, into the forest. Some are detained for months. Some are, if you lucky, you have money to pay or you are released, you have money to pay. They release you. They are there. So people, you must expect that they work hand in hand with these terrorists. That is a suspicion. But they are there. They are there. Okay, let me, let me, let me... Where are you in Italy? Let me ask this question from another direction. You just referred to them as terrorists. And indeed, you said that there was a time, indeed, historically, when you would actually drive yourself by yourself along the Buciakaduna road. But just how did we get to the extent where we cannot even think of driving without also thinking of being kidnapped? That's on the one hand. And again, do you think if the federal government had actually tamed those bandits, those kidnappers as it were, you know, terrorists, that there would have been a different approach to tackling this issue? I do not know. I'm not a government. So I cannot speak on behalf of the government. But as far as I'm concerned, what these people are doing is terrorism. How the government, as the government business, as far as I'm concerned, what those, so some of our members have been kidnapped and treated and maltreated. And when they relate to us, the ACF, what they went through, there's no other way of satisfying this but as a lack of terrorism. The government is free. Maybe they are hampered by international law or whatever laws to call these people terrorists, but as far as I'm concerned, these people are terrorists. The historical aspect we are wondering to times when this rule was a very safe rule. I don't know what has gone wrong. It's just not the same. It's just not the same. Things have changed. It brought them like people are being killed. People are being killed, man. What's going wrong? We never knew about kidnapping in the law. We used to read about it in the newspapers. Maybe in the Arab world, over here, we went to Nigeria, it was mostly a Southern affair in the East. Now the North has become the headquarters of kidnapping around something. What has gone wrong? We cannot see. But the ACF is very, very sad and very, very constant. I would have made opposition of the government that we did not direct this government to terrorism. They do not know about our beautiful country. To terrorism, this situation is unaccelerated. It's a national issue. So as it is right now, as individuals who apply that particular rule, that's Takaduna Abujawee, would you advise that for the meantime, I don't know if that's possible, that they should actually stay off that road knowing that nothing is being done or has been done to checkmate them, all of these attacks that have happened around that particular road. Right now, it's not very safe to travel that route. I would advise some of you, like who I love to travel on that route, plan to travel on that route and be careful. They don't take their own personal security measures or whatever. You hear about these things. You think it will not happen to you.  They have killed women. A lady professor from the northern part of this country was it on that road. You know how many professors we have in the north. You can count them. And ladies, a lady professor from the north was killed on that road. That was outside of this. People explained, I've been wasted for nothing.  There was a time we had a meeting with Mijeti Alai in Kalima and they told us they themselves are fed up, that they are being used. There are some big shots who are organizing this acts of terrorism. Hundreds of millions we hear are fed as rats. We're not going to these boys on the streets. This has meant some of them are dead. Some of them have been killed. Some of the big shots collect those hundreds of millions and take off. They go and buy herbs and they supply these boys. Because boys do not go to school. They do not have any skills. So used and misused by these big shots. So it's a very big problem. The government has to step in continuously that mistake we made now. That's our problem. All right, so you have mentioned some of this. You're saying that the reason is that you have persons who are sponsoring this bandit and you call them big shots. So we know this big shot. Why haven't these big shots been arrested? I mean, why haven't we have people being arrested, being prosecuted, being made to face the law? Why are people not in the bars? Only the government can answer that question. When were these repentants, also called repentant, Boko Harampi, started running to comment that they have repented. They should be accepted. And we haven't dated them. Our chairman, he issued a very strong statement. He said, these are kidnappers. These are killers. They didn't just accept them as repentant. Take them to the courts. Try them. If the courts find out that they are not guilty, then you free them. But that's because somebody who has been killing you have not been repented to throw. Just as he comes and confess, he has become repentant. You accept and rehabilitate him. And the families of those people in this trial are watching. What sort of society are we creating? We've criticized the government for accepting these people back. And I'm sure some of these people are accepted by because of the influence of their sponsor. So the government has to be more serious. Why rehabilitate people whom you are not sure of their antecedents? They have already started routing in the camps where they have been kept in volume. Old habits die very, very hard. They have the routing. In government, rehabilitation centers, those old bookworms who are accepted as reform bookworms, they have already started routing over the killing of camps. Cows have been killed forever. But they say there's not a... All right, Mr. Yahweh. Yes, please. Yahweh, Mr. Yahweh, on the final note, just as we wrap up, I just wanna get one thing clear from what you said concerning this top shot. If I can infer from what you said, are you saying that this attack that happened along that particular corridor might just be politically motivated? It may be. It may be. But no, no, until they are properly investigated. And that is what this government is failing to do, to investigate the incidences of kidnapped, by killings, and harassment property. This is before the development of the voluntary term. Like this guy, Pomata Rejoice, now he has gone into police. Maybe he's working outside. Nobody knows. But until the government and the security agencies carry out thorough investigation, we may never know. All right, thank you so much. I'm Emmanuel Yahweh, National Publicist Secretary of the Ararua Consulting Forum. We do appreciate your time. And as we look forward to seeing more chairing is concerning this issue of kidnapping and attacks along the Kaduna Abuja Express, so which has become so worrisome over the years. We do appreciate your time on the show this morning. Well, that's the much we can take at this point in time. We do appreciate and we hope that you enjoyed all of the conversation. Now, if you missed out on any part of the conversation, it's all right to follow us on Facebook and Instagram, we're at Plus TV Africa. And of course, on YouTube is at Plus TV Africa Lifestyle. I am Messi Boko, have a great morning. And I'm Justin, I'll cut the news to you again tomorrow. Bye for now.


There, go ahead and try to time that one. So I'm messing with our editor, which happens to be my partner, which is just the wrong thing to do. But he's largely been counting the frequency with which I screw with him, and he returns it in spades, such as putting things in my coffee. I don't know what he put in there today. I'm not going to find out. I'm not going to worry about it. You'll layer. Whoopsie. And me thinks I shouldn't stray too far from a toilet today. So frequency, how often a behavior occurs, over a given period of time. If you actually divide it out, it'll be a rate. But some people prefer to separate these things between rate and frequency. I'm one of those people. I'm probably wrong. It's happened before. It might happen again. I hope not. And if it does, you can correct me, and hopefully I'll change my responses, and I won't be wrong again in the future. So then I can decrease the frequency by which I'm wrong, which is important to me. It's highly reinforcing to be correct, I think. It's also reinforcing to be corrected, because then I don't have to be as wrong as often, which is weird, because I don't like being wrong, so correction.  How often did a behavior occur, over a period of time? That's it.


Welcome to this course on Transition Metal Organometallics in Catalysis and Biology. We have been discussing various types of ring closing inion metathesis as well as inion metathesis reactions, the conditions and the examples and also we had been exploring the scope of this ring closing inion metathesis as well as inion metathesis in terms of applications. In this context, we have discussed about a cycloaddition reaction in inion metathesis reaction in the earlier lecture, and today we are going to take a look at some more examples of this inion metathesis reactions, then try to finish off our discussion on inion metathesis reaction and then take up another very interesting topic, which is alkyne and alkyne oligomerization reactions. In keeping with the main scope of this course, where we had highlighted the important organometallic catalytic reactions, which has made it big in terms of going beyond the confines of the laboratory and reaching the source of industry in terms of large scale utility, this alkyne and alkyne metathesis oligomerization reaction is another such topics, which had been recognized with noble prize and its utility to the mankind is well recognized and well established by now. So, with this, let us come back to our initial topic of inion metathesis examples, which we are going to be taking up now. The reaction is between these and two kinds of substrates, one is this or the other is this substrate. The products formed are now to work out the product one needs to start with the substrate and the catalyst, which would come along as it is shown here to give the metallocyclobutane intermediate that would further generate this alkyne, this active species, which is the metal, then these active species as is shown over here would subsequently go on to react with the substrate as is shown in the next slide would react with the alkyne substrate OBZ to give the first the metallocyclobutane transition state OBZ as is shown over here and that we arrange to give. So, there is a double bond between 5 and 6 and 7. This is a very interesting intermediate and it has two possibilities that it can arise. One is this reacting with the olefin giving the corresponding alkyne regenerating back the olefin that is possibility number one. The other possibility is this undergoing a metathesis between these two olefin in something which is shown over here, this is 1, 2, 3, 5, this is 7. So, this 7 also has OBZ, so this is in this configuration if it comes around, then possibility is this and that this structure is not done properly 3, 4, 5, this is 7. So that would give a structure, this would undergo a metathesis and would give a structure like this 3, 4, 5, 6, 7 as is shown here and then subsequently this would undergo rearrangement to give the product OBZ. So, as mentioned earlier that this was an important intermediate and that can result into two different product number one and the second product number two and that arises because of intramolecular metathesis reaction between two in which occurs between these two or it can give this product. Now these are very interesting reactions where depending on the orientation of the reactant intermolecular as well as the intermolecular reaction may proceed and that can give rise to two different products. This is enyne plus cycloaddition and this is just enyne reaction that is happening. So with that we come to the end of our discussion on enyne metathesis reactions. We have looked into all variants of it to start with, we have looked at intermolecular enyne metathesis followed by entramolecular enyne metathesis and the different products that have been obtained using this metathesis reaction. We have also looked at various complex structures that can be obtained by enyne metathesis reactions, some can be cycloadditions, tandem and with that very complex motifs have been synthesized. So with this we conclude our discussion on olefin metathesis and we are going to move on to another interesting topic of alkene olefin oligomerization and polymerization reactions. Now to move on to these new reactions of olefin oligomerization and polyglomation I must mention that these are also important reactions particularly in terms of large scale synthesis and utility in industry for producing various value added chemicals using these methods. And these are also a part of the Nobel Prize award winning discovery of olefin polymerization. And furthermore this highlights the utility of organometallic chemistry for large scale applications. So with this let us move on to the next topic of oligomerization and polymerization of alkenes and alkynes. One must mention that these reactions oligomerization of alkenes and alkynes and polymerization of alkenes and alkynes they were initially discovered almost at the same time of olefin metathesis reactions. So the first observation happened in late 1950s or early 1960s which had been the case for both olefin metathesis as well as for olefin oligomerization and polymerization reactions. But even though this metathesis reaction as well as polymerization reactions of olefin metathesis were initially observed in and around same time, it is the olefin oligomerization and polymerization reactions were established much earlier with the Nobel Prize coming in in 1960s, mid 60s, 63, 64 for the discovery, whereas for the olefin metathesis the reaction took longer time to incubate and develop and the final recognition came in 2005 so about 30 or 40 more years later. So the olefin oligomerization and polymerization of reactions had seen the light of the day much earlier than the olefin metathesis reactions that we had discussed in our earlier topic. Now one reason for this late recognition of olefin metathesis as in comparison to olefin oligomerization and polymerization is because of the fact that olefin metathesis is much more complex reaction in terms of the mechanism and the pathway it takes in terms of applications. So it is much more complex, much more bigger and hence it took a longer time to elucidate and understand than the olefin polymerization reaction. But this does not take away any credit from the olefin oligomerization and polymerization reactions because they themselves represent a huge field as such and a due credit is given to them as well in presence or absence of any other discoveries. So with this let us start our discussion on oligomerization and polymerization of alkenes and alkynes. One of the things which is common to this oligomerization reaction is that the mechanism in which this oligomerization happens and this usually happens by a pathway called coordination insertion pathway. What it means is that what it means is that the metal must have a vacant site, metal with all these ligands must have a vacant site to which the olefin first binds. This is called coordination step and the next step is this after binding the olefin then inserts into this metal alkyl bond, this vacant site is regenerated to which again an olefin comes and binds and then the process proceeds on. This in short is the mechanism which is aptly followed and this is commonly referred to as coordination insertion. The coordination step is shown over here and the insertion step is shown over here. The first step involves coordination and the second step involves insertion where the olefin inserts into the metal alkyl bond. What is important to note is that this is a common mechanism or common pathway accepted for olefin oligomerization and the polymerization reactions. What is the important step common to the polymerization, oligomerization and polymerization reactions is the insertion of etatoo alkene to the metal alkyl bond and this is exactly what we had referred to as coordination insertion mechanism. The second step for any oligomerization, dimerization, trimerization or non-polymerization is the insertion. First, the coordination of the olefin to the vacant site and then subsequent insertion of the coordinated olefin to the metal alkyl bond. The second important thing is the formation of product depends on the composition of chain growth and chain termination. This is an interesting observation, it says that the extent to which a polymer will grow depends on the comparative rate of chain growth, which is a propagation step as well as the chain termination. If the chain propagation step is faster than the termination step, then longer polymers will form and if the chain termination overtakes chain propagation, then shorter polymers or oligomers will form. This is an interesting observation and in this context, in this slide, we are going to take a look at various examples of alkyl oligomerization and polymerization processes as we move on with the discussion on this topic in the subsequent lectures. With this, we come to the conclusion of today's lecture. To raise the lecture, we have looked into another example of tandem enyne metathesis and cycloidation reaction resulting in formation of two products depending on the orientation of the active species and the olefins and subsequent reaction with alkyl. We have looked into various pros and cons or various important features of this enyne metathesis reaction both in intermolecular as well as in intermolecular fashion. In this lecture, we have finished our discussion on enyne metathesis and then initiated our discussion on another important topic of olefin oligomerization and polymerization reactions. We have noted that these oligomerization and polymerization reactions proceed via coordination insertion pathway, where there is a vacant site to which the olefin binds and subsequent insertion of the bound olefin or coordinated olefin to a metal alkyl bond is crucial to the formation of this oligomerization or polymerization reaction. Another thing that we have noted is that the extent to which a polymer length will grow depends on the rate in which the propagation and the termination step occur and depending on the interplay of the two factors would decide on the length of the oligomer. So, with this, we are coming to an end of today's discussion. We are going to be discussing this new topic of olefin oligomerization and polymerization in more detail as we take up the topic in the subsequent lecture. I once again thank you for being with me in this discussion and I look forward to taking up this discussion on olefin oligomerization and polymerization in much detail when we meet next. Till then, goodbye and thank you.


Yeah, we on boss talk one-on-one.  It's gonna be cool.  He'll tell you a little bit about the female You know y'all may meet up Talk, you know saying I met up with God. We didn't talk had a drink. He didn't we didn't say after you took her from him Yeah, he didn't brought me her clothes cuz she got her belongings You know I'm saying so we meet up. He bring me the clothes That's really about a teddy boy or something. We have some drinks. He may tell me, you know a few things about her You know, he may give me some game and it's cool. We're a course.    That's that's what you call a courtesy call They didn't serve it. He said it's a courtesy call.   If he's if he hustling No, no, that's that's called it's called double breasted being double breasted mixing the game, right? So so Now that was a bad thing. No. No.  He told me bra. So I said say man I said I said, uh, I said man the broad owe me some money, right? You know I'm saying he said he said yeah So I said yeah, man, let me put a check in on the bra Let me pull up your checker. So he said yeah, go ahead checks.  She called. She said yeah, daddy I'm gonna come back home.    I see not on respect that nigga pimping at all. She said yeah, I know daddy He ain't no pimp. I said well, give me the nigga jury and give me the money So she brought me all this jury and all his money.  He got out, right?  I said, yeah, man.  Come get your jury So I gave him the jury. He said yeah, man. Did she take some money, too? I said no, she said the money came from a trick, pimp. I said I ain't giving no money up, man Right, so he said hi man. So, you know, I got the buddy. I gave him a jury back He was having clear like about maybe about a hundred thousand out of the jury. It's a lot of jury So I give him all the jury back. He said man, can I check the bra? I said, I ain't even let you check my whole nigga He said I let you check though. I said no man.


Ever since the arrest of Josh Duggar from the very popular reality TV show 19 Kids and Counting, we've been doing a bit of a deep dive into different aspects of the Duggar's life. Now most people know that the Duggar's are obviously very conservative and practice a movement called quiverful, which basically means they don't practice any birth control whatsoever, and have as many babies as they believe God has ordained them to have. Now last week we looked at Bill Gothard and the IVLP, which was a huge part of Josh Duggar's upbringing, but did you know that there is a person out there and a movement out there that considers the Duggar's to be liberal? But before we go any further, you know what to do, please hit that subscribe button and give us a like. As always, a very, very special thank you to all of our patrons. Without you, this channel would not be possible, so I greatly, greatly appreciate you. Welcome to Esoteric Atlanta, and today on a very special bonus episode, we're going to have a look at Stephen Anderson and the new independent fundamentalist Baptist movement. Definition of a fundamentalist is a form of a religion, especially Islam or Protestant Christianity, that upholds belief in strict, literal interpretation of scripture. It is also a strict adherence to the basic principles of any subject or discipline.  Here in the United States, we've kind of dubbed super conservative Christians to be fundamentalist or fundies, but Christian fundamentalism hasn't always been here. Again, the basic principle for a fundamentalist belief is a legalistic, literal interpretation of the Bible. Now, this movement started in the United States in the late 19th century. Between 1876 and 1897, there was an annual conference held that became known as the Niagara Bible Conference. However, originally these annual meetings were called the Believers' Meeting for Bible Study. Around this time, the five fundamental principles in a fundamentalist faith were defined. These are that the Bible is the Word of God, that there was a virgin birth, that Jesus' death was the atonement of sin, that Jesus resurrected in both spirit and body, and that Jesus' miracles were historical reality. Now, I know a lot of these principles do seem to be pretty common throughout most of the Christian churches. However, some people in Christian faith don't necessarily believe all of these principles. For example, there are Christians that believe that Jesus only resurrected in spirit and not body. There are also many Christians that don't believe in a literal interpretation of the Bible, but that the Bible was mostly just allegory. And of course, me myself, I don't actually believe in the virgin birth. We see that in the book of the Holy Twelve that Joseph was literally the father of Jesus. We also know that virgin births were very common in pagan faiths, and that at the Council of Nicaea in the 4th century, many of the peasant Christians were very upset that Constantine had changed that story. I am also very well aware that it is fact that in the Council of Nicaea, as well as other places in our history, the Bible was changed. Again, this is not a penion. This is documented fact. For me, I feel much better and much more confident in my understanding of God by reading the banned books of the Bible than I do sometimes reading the actual canonized Bible. Because the canonized Bible that we have today has been through the shredder multiple times throughout the last 2000 years. But regardless of what you believe or anybody believes, the crux of the Christian faith is Jesus. And so for me, I'm not bothered by people who have different opinions on different topics spoken about in the Bible, because at the end of the day, it's all just everyone's opinion anyway. In 1910, the testimony publishing company of Chicago started to release what is called the Fundamentals. This was a 12 volume set of essays of Protestant Orthodoxy. Between 1910 and 1915, 90 essays were released. This is considered to be the foundation of modern fundamentalism. By 1917, the Bible Institute of Los Angeles released a four volume set of these essays called the Fundamentals. The Ford of this volume states that this is a new statement of the Fundamentals of Christianity. Over 3 million volumes were sent out all over the United States to different ministers and churches and even to organizations like the YMCA. These essays hosted writings from about 64 different people within the Protestant Christian movement. By the 1920s, this reformation of the Protestant faith was in full bloom. We started seeing tent revivals, all sorts of stuff happening, and this was countering what we see with the roaring 20s, where women's skirts had gotten a little bit shorter, hair a little bit shorter, and we were entering into a more modern expression of life. We also see this same revival happen again in the 1960s, when the hippie movement started, which we did speak about in Bill Gothard's episode on the IVLP. Again, the fundamental principles that were forming at this time were a counterculture to the counterculture that was countering the traditional normal family. Within fundamentalism, it does appear that most people involved in this movement take more of a legalistic view of the faith. They seem to place more importance on following the rules than the actual personal independent spiritual connection to God. In most fundamentalist circles, they only adhere to the King James Bible. Now, people may tell you they only adhere to the King James Bible because that was the first Bible translated into English. However, I find this very questionable. Now, yes, I am a descendant of King James, the king that was responsible for translating this Bible. However, we know that a lot of royalty is technically Canaanite, and so their intention behind translating a biblical source might not be pure and holy. And once again, we know for a fact that there were many changes made to the Bible over the years. So I find this adhering only to the King James Bible to be very dubious.  Now, the independent fundamentalist Baptist movement is in a lot of ways like the organization of the denomination of the Baptist Church, except they don't want to be involved in the politics of that organization hits why they're independent. Now, with that being said, I grew up with friends who were Southern Baptist and their lives were very, very different than that of, say, the Duggers. Most of them did not come from big families. They maybe had one or two siblings, they wore shorts, they wore tank tops, they did sports, they went to a regular school, went to college, they listened to secular music just like myself. So the varying degrees of conservativeness in this group are vast. Now, the IFB, just like the regular Baptist Church, both follow the origins of the Anabaptist movement, which do go back to John the Baptist. If you would like for me to do a history of the Anabaptist movement, just let me know in the comment section below and I will do a deep dive into that for you as well. But again, many people in the IFB live very, very different lives than those who grew up in just a regular Baptist Church. Stephen Lee Anderson was born in Sacramento, California on the 24th of July, 1981. Allegedly, he was born into a very conservative and fundamentalist family, but at 18 years old, he decided to join the independent fundamentalist Baptist Church. He then went off to Europe to missionary the tenants of the independent fundamentalist Baptist organization. This is where he met his wife, Susanna. Now, on his website, you will see this story about how Susanna was raised a Catholic and then became agnostic. She was also very much a feminist when she met Stephen Anderson and then magically through his proselytizing to her, she totally changed her views, became his wife, and now is in one of the strictest fundamentalist groups in the world.  Stephen Anderson founded the faithful word Baptist Church on Christmas Day of 2005. This Baptist Church is in a strip mall in Tempe, Arizona. Now, his church is considered a hate group by the Southern Poverty Law Center and is not actually a part of any Christian denomination. This means that Stephen Anderson has no one that he has to be accountable to. There's no authority over Steve Anderson to make sure he's not running a CULT, which in my opinion again is exactly what he's running. In 2017, Steve Anderson and some other pastors decided to create the new independent fundamentalist Baptist movement because, ironically, they felt like the independent fundamentalist Baptist movement was way too liberal. I mean, honest to God, I think these are the only people who would ever call the Duggars liberal and Steve Anderson and his cronies literally wanted to counter the IFB because according to Stephen Anderson, those fundamentalists are not fundamentalists enough. Now, just like a lot of fundamentalist groups, they do believe in the King James Bible only and by 2019, there were 30 other affiliate churches listed on his website. Now, according to the website, they do allude to the fact that even though these affiliate churches have to follow this new fundamentalist doctrine, they are allowed to have varying opinions. However, insiders say that this is not true. Allegedly, Anderson will remove any pastor that doesn't 100% agree with Anderson's doctrine. Once more, in my opinion, this is a huge red flag for a CULT. The basic doctrine for Anderson's movement is salvation by faith alone, once saved, always saved. Again, the King James Bible only, belief in the Trinity, belief in something called soul winning and wordliness hard preaching.  They also believe in what is called the pre-wrath and the post-tribulation rapture. Now, most of us who are in this great awakening now realize that the book of Revelation has been taught completely wrong because most of us believe that what we're seeing right now is the book of Revelation. Now, growing up, I was taught that the book of Revelation was scary. Like this was going to be something very scary to live through. However, now that we're going through it and we see it more from an astrological point of view as it was intended to be understood, I see the book of Revelation as good news that we're moving on to a new timeline, the 1,000 years of peace. Now, a lot of fundamentalists believe that the rapture is the bodies of these Christians literally lifting off the ground and going up into the heavens. Now we understand the rapture as meaning your consciousness evolves. Your consciousness moves up. You go from a 3D, living within the matrix, believing the media, seeing things as we've seen them for most of history's sake, to now being 5D, being outside of the matrix and seeing everything for the movie that it really is. So, for example, if my hypothesis of the rapture, not just mine but many other people's, hypothesis of this rapture is correct, then for most of us the rapture has already happened. We're already more aware. We're already well into this great awakening, which that's what apocalypse means, right? It means to lift the veil, to awaken. Revelation means to reveal. And if you've watched a lot of the astronomers that are involved in this great awakening and in the military back channel of 17, we're pretty much through with the tribulation as well. And of course the tribulation we are now knowing had nothing to do with us and everything to do with these Canaanites being judged for their horrific sins against humanity. So with that being said, Steve Anderson and I do not agree on a lot and we especially don't agree on the in times. Now Steve Anderson and his wife, Suzanne, have eight children. They do participate in what is called quiverful, although there was recently a huge scandal about one of his sons being a little bit inappropriate on a text message, which is quite ironic because Steve Anderson's solution for all these perverted sins and I'm not going to go into all these perverted sins because if I did go into all these perverted sins according to Steve Anderson, my channel would probably get shut down. But his solution to people that don't live life according to the way Steve Anderson believes life should be led, well they should be put forth to the death penalty. So it was a little bit ironic and hypocritical when his own children were involved in a scandal involving some of the issues that Steve Anderson allegedly believes are worthy of capital punishment. Now it seems like Steve Anderson is against more than he's actually for. It seems like the only things that Steve Anderson is for is Steve Anderson. One of the things that Steve Anderson is against is Calvinism, which is shocking because most of the Protestant faiths have a history in Calvinism. My own Church of Origin is the Presbyterian Church and they are Calvinist. So this was a doctrine that was established by John Calvin who was a Frenchman back in the 1520s. During this time the Calvinists believed broke away from the Roman Catholic Church. And when I say broke away, we've talked a lot about the Protestant Reformation on this channel with other stories we've covered and all of you watching are very smart people and know your history and know that this wasn't just an easy step away from the church. There was a lot of war, a lot of battling, and a lot of death in order for these different denominations to be established. Hell, I would guess over half of the colonists who came to the New World to America was because they were Protestant and they were trying to escape all the battles in Europe with the Catholics. Now the basic belief of the Calvinist, and this is a very, very basic belief, it does go into more detail than this, but just a basic overview, is that the knowledge of God is revealed through the word, but that people can only know God through self-revelation through Jesus. So right away it gives the individual more power and more autonomy in their relationship with God through a personal relationship with Jesus. Calvinists always believed that finite people cannot understand an infinite being.  Calvinist also believed in this idea of pre-destiny in the East, this would be called Dharma, that you all have a specific purpose on this earth. And even though we do have free will, the specific or divine purpose of our life is already handed down to us by the divine. All in all, the Calvinistic view is more of a personal relationship with God, which obviously was not something that the Catholic Church ever wanted to acknowledge because they make their money and garner their control through the organization of the Catholic Church, the corporation, and of course the Pope. And like the Catholic Church, even though Stephen Anderson is also against the Catholic Church, Stephen Anderson wants to be in full control of your relationship with God, because Stephen Anderson, I believe, is a raging narcissist psychopath who wants full control over you and also, in my opinion, wants to be worshipped like Jesus. Stephen Anderson is also against dispensationalism and dispensationalism was actually a part of the original foundation of fundamentalism. So it's interesting that he's against this. This is the belief that the Bible is divided by God into different periods of time, and that different laws of man and laws of creation are needed with different periods of time. I can absolutely agree on this. We're not going to live our lives in 2021 just as they did during Moses' time. We're in a completely different world now, and so we have to have different laws and different accountability to our modern experience of life. But since Stephen Anderson wants to be a controller, again, in my opinion, I can understand how he would want to use some of the harsher laws of the Old Testament in order to control his people, especially perhaps his wife and children. They're also against liberalism, which, I mean, duh, of course they are, and they're against the Zionist, which is very different from most Christian church. The Zionists support a Jewish state. They believe that the Jewish people are God's chosen people, which was how I was raised. I was raised to believe that 100%. But see, Anderson does not believe that the Jewish people are God's chosen people. He believes that the Christians are God's chosen people. And on top of that, Anderson is what is called a Holocaust denier. He doesn't believe the Holocaust actually happened. Now, again, there's been many incidents with Stephen Anderson. He's been banned from a lot of different countries, including Australia, New Zealand, Canada, Jamaica, and some parts of Europe for his extreme beliefs. And people do say that actions speak louder than words. It's one thing to go around spewing out this hate. It's another thing to act on it. And the scary thing with Anderson is that we have seen him act on some of his beliefs. In 2009, there was an incident at the Border Patrol in Arizona. Anderson was going up Interstate 8 when he had to stop through Border Control between Mexico and the United States, and he refused to pull his car over or roll his window down. Now, Steve Anderson is very much anti-government, and that actually is one thing we probably agree on. I'm pretty anti-government as well. I think there should be as little government involved in our lives as possible. But I still follow the rules, and I take my beliefs to the voting booth, hence why I tend to vote more Republican. I believe more in states' rights and being able to manage a smaller group of people where you have more say as to your daily life versus a federal ordinance when the people in Washington DC have no idea what every individual county in the state in the country needs. So the difference between Steve Anderson and myself is that I obey the laws.  Whereas Steve Anderson believes that he's above the law, where he can outright display aggression towards the people working in government, and this is what we saw in 2009. There was a 90-minute standoff between the Arizona Border Patrol and Steve Anderson. They ended up having to break a window in his car, and they tased him. Now you can find this video online, and many people who have a lot of disgust for Steve Anderson really enjoy watching this video, because in the video he screams like a little girl. Now Steve Anderson is also notorious for having sermons where he actively prays for the death of certain politicians, and whenever there's a tragic event, such as what happened in Orlando a few years back, Steve Anderson gets excited and celebrates.  And if Suzanne Anderson, his wife, is listening, girl, if you need help, let us know, we'll come get you. Now people have noted that when Josh Duggar was arrested, most of the people involved in the IVLP really put out statements saying that they wanted to pray for the family and pray for the judge and pray for the court proceedings. However, the Anderson's reacted a little bit differently. They allegedly believe that because of Josh Duggar's allegations in his indictment, he deserves corporal punishment, and a quote given by Suzanne Anderson goes as follows. We have for years held and publicly stated that the Duggars are liberal and worldly. Even as they are known for being fundamentalists, maybe their beliefs are, but what they are publicly willing to take a stand for is weak and anemic. Now whether or not Steve Anderson is the only person in this fundamentalist movement that thinks the Duggars are too liberal is really not what's super important. Well, what's super important is that we can pay close attention to these, in my opinion, extremely dangerous people. In my opinion, Steve Anderson is not promoting the faith of Christianity. He's promoting tenants and laws of a CULT, an organization where Steve Anderson is the authority, not God. And I do pray that if anybody listening to this that is part of a fundamentalist movement like Steve Anderson's, that you one day realize that God is love. And regardless of what you think is a sin and what isn't a sin doesn't really matter at the end of the day because justice will be served on our human plane, whereas God is always loving, forgiving, and merciful in the spiritual plane. Please understand that the acts of Jesus look nothing like the acts of someone like Steve Anderson or Bill Gotherd. And I pray that you understand that every single human being on this planet is deserving of love regardless of what your pastor says. All right, guys, thank you so much for sitting through another special edition with Steve Anderson. Please leave your comments down in the comments section below. I will be out of town the week after next. We will have videos already pre scheduled to be uploaded for you guys while we're away. However, I won't be doing another deep dive into some of these kooky Christian fundamentalist leaders until I get back from being out of town. I do have a couple of people I'm going to be looking into once we're back into town. But again, it might be a couple of weeks before another special edition video is released to you regarding this topic. Next video released will be Monday for our Mystery Monday. Once again, I will be back with David Zuplick on Tuesday. And if you were able to join us at one o'clock on David's platform, one o'clock Eastern Standard Time, you will be able to call in live to the show if you choose to. And once again, I know that religion is also a very touchy subject as people do tend to get defensive over how they were raised or whatever organization they were raised in. So please speak to each other respectfully in the comment section below. If you have a different opinion from somebody on an interpretation of scripture or of faith, that's okay. We're allowed to have different opinions. You can talk about it respectfully to each other. You might learn something from each other. But please again, remember to make sure to be respectful. At the end of the day, the only entity that is able to judge us for our rights and our wrong is God. So please don't call people sinners or any other bad names because you happen to disagree with their theology. But with that being said, if you do think there is a pastor out there that is behaving in a harmful manner towards other people, as in Bill Godford or Steve Anderson and a couple more people we're going to talk about, please feel free to bring them to my attention because we want to live in a place of unity and harmony and love. And these people are very dangerous. They've exhibited dangerous behaviors and we do want to get the word out that that is not safe. And that's not healthy. And in my opinion, that's not God. Once again, thank you to Josh McKay for doing our music. If you would like to purchase the full opening song, there's a link in the description box below. And thank you again to Todd Roderick for helping me get this video out to you all. I will talk to you soon. Bye.


बौ commissioner is Mr Ratch Jewsla to आप रब न नीक्रई ज़्ोग पफ्टीय ये जाहों है, कौचाउन कौची Force is Labour Policies Paakrestar अगर स совет कलग़ा निवन से कर कीि скорее pathways और फफरabyrinthsters ले का पहली हें atto pe Stream andtan और आसynı पकुष कोंवि का abaी उटौemary ताऍप खी रवाद तो उड� सuman the other man is अगर लेबर के point of view से हम informal or formal economies को देखें तो हमें मालुम होता है कि अगर labor welfare services लेवर को मजुद हैं, तो ये formal economy में fall करता है, और अगर labor welfare services लेवर को available नहीं हैं, मजुद नहीं हैं, तो ये informal economy में fall करता है, इस जिमन में मैं आपको labor force survey के बतलक बताना चाता हूँ, तो जो के 2017 और 2018 कै है, which states the informal sector accounts for 71.7% of the employment in main jobs outside agriculture, more in rural areas that is 75.6% than in urban areas which is 68.1%. Dear students, overall there has been a slight decrease in the informal sector, if we compare to the labor force survey 2008 and 2009 data on informal sector showing the informal sector accounts for more than 73.3% of the employment in main jobs outside agriculture. My dear friends, the key sector of employment in the informal economy are wholesale and retail, trade, manufacturing, community, social and personal services. It also includes construction and transport etc. My dear students, following the 18th amendment in the constitution of Pakistan 1973 which resulted in devolution of labor administration from federal to provincial governments and since then efforts have been made to formulate provincial labor policies in 2018. The provincial governments of Punjab, Sindh and KPK developed their respective labor policies which focus on contemporary labor issues and challenges. My dear students, the Punjab labor policy 2018 incorporates for example areas such as effective implementation of labor standards, social dialogues, improvements in workplace safety, living wages, child and bonded labor and awareness regarding all these things. My dear students, the informal economy is characterized in Pakistan by several decent work deficits and challenges including rights at work, child and bonded labor, social protection, lack of sustainable employment, working poverty etc. My dear students, the DWCP, the decent work program has its focus on promoting decent work in rural economy which constitutes a large segment of informal economy in the country. In addition, rural economies are characterized by low productivity, informality and weak enforcement of laws among other. Hope you have understood the topic. Thank you very much indeed.


We often joke about the Wyoming wind being gauged by a cement block being chained to a post. But have you ever thought about the actual impacts a sustained wind can have on our landscapes? An area located about 15 miles west of Laramie is an example of the power of the Wyoming wind. The Big Hollow is the second largest wind-eroded depression in the world. It is the largest deflation basin or blowout formed by particles being removed by wind in North America. The Big Hollow is an undrained basin and is 11 miles long, 4 miles wide, and up to 200 feet deep. The basin is actually listed on the National Natural Landmark List. The Big Hollow is known to be less than 250,000 years old due to it being younger than the alluvial valley floors, which now form its boundaries. It is of late Pleistocene age and during much of this time the Big Hollow was actually a hill composed of soft sedimentary bedrock. The hole was made because the material that made up this former hill was much more easily eroded than the material on its north and south boundaries. So the next time you're outside and the wind is blowing against your face, take time to appreciate the power of this force and how it has shaped some of our landscapes.
