Hey everyone, Shaper 1000 here. Today, I got this old Briggs and Stratton 3-horsepower horizontal shaft or side shaft engine. Now this thing It's locked up. I have some ideas what's going on. Well, I have an idea what's going on with it And I'll show you here in just a second. So I think what's probably going on I'm almost sure of it. I checked the oil in this thing and Not a drop of oil in it So I'm betting this is a what is it date code? This is 1989 engine You can tell on these Briggs and Stratton's first two There's a model type and code number on these engines if you look at the code number at your date code First two numbers are the year is 1988. This is 1989 Now these older engines like this didn't have a shut off on them so if you was using it for a pump or you know a generator or something like that and It ran a lot a long time someone's had this cover off I can see and It ran for a long time. These things did burn a little oil And if you didn't check the oil every time you put gas in it Well, you know, you're gonna run out of oil and it's gonna blow up because they didn't have a low oil shut off on them but So I'm thinking that's what it is If that's the case, I'm probably not gonna rebuild this thing just the three horsepower I really don't have a use for three horsepower but There are some good parts on it You know, we've got a carburetor gas tank set up there Probably coil we've got the air cleaner This recoil starter, you know, that's good to have around so, you know I mean if I was going to use it for something I would rebuild it but my guess is that the problem is That it's locked up. They ran it. It got ran without oil and It just locked up Let's take the plug-out look down inside, but I don't think the issues in here We could get lucky, but you know, maybe someone just drained the wall out of it, but I doubt it. I don't see Any rust in there and I want to check something else here a lot of times these coils I'll show you when we get inside of here These coils if you adjust these coils and you don't get them tight I have seen them before where the magnet will pull the coil down up against the flywheel and they'll be locked up but Being that there's no oil in here and that would be my guess that it just seized up Like I said, if that's the case, I'm not I'm not gonna rebuild this one I'm not in it to any money. So this was a free engine right in here sometimes well, that could be Sometimes right in here If you don't tighten these these bolts up The magnet will drop down on the magnet will pull the coil down on and It'll cause it to lock up like that. I don't know It is on a magnet That's um, yeah, that's been outside. Oh That's scary. I thought that was a spider big old palm metal bug. Okay. Wow, what a mess Ain't out here 10 minutes okay, so let's Let's see if that's the case that would be nice. I Don't know it doesn't have any oil in it now I don't think that's the issue because it's still I should be able to turn that and I can't this is the governor here Yeah, see I still can't turn this so I'll tell you what we'll do Let me clean some of this off here. We'll pull the side cover off of here and look at the rod I think the rod seized up onto the crankshaft. It hasn't had any oil in it for quite some time. I mean we could try to Put a little pipe wrench on here and give that a turn. Let's try that first. All right. I Said a little bit I don't know if I've got a little one. I do have a little one I just can't remember what George and I turned it a little bit one way Feels a little clunky though. It may run. I don't know well I guess Well, we unlocked it Maybe it was just from sitting doesn't feel real bad though. Well, we got that unlocked Should we try to start it? Let's put some oil in here and try to start it. Let's see if monkey will get me some oil That's been broke for a while That goes up here That gets caused by people starting them crooked and trying to run them in anyway I can fix that. That's not a big deal. I can just put a longer bolt in it, but Let me clean this off here Let's put some oil in it. I'll bet it'll run It might knock But hey, you know Taking old engine that's locked. I'm getting running. That's always cool A little skeleton in there. Is that skeleton? That's a lizard Or gecko Well, all right Let's see if I can find some oil. Let me clean this off. We'll put this back together together I'll show you how to adjust that coil and uh We'll shoot some gas in and see if it'll run All right, so I've got my drill here We're gonna clean these magnets off I don't know if you guys watch taro fixes all or not He got a bulletin from Briggs and Stratton said that rust Between this and the coil will not cause it not Will not cause it won't Make it not run which I I gotta disagree with that because And you know, this guy has his own business, you know, he's not a backyard guy I mean, he's a legitimate business, but because I have before Had these things sitting outside and go to start them. They won't start and all I did I didn't even pull the coil off I just stuck a piece of sandpaper in between the coil and the magnet run at a few times like, you know back and forth like that And then it would run I don't care what you say if rust is built up between the magnet and the coil. It's going to short it out It's going to cause it not to run so but We'll give it a quick clean These magnets can get weak over time I see something there. I don't like I see some moving movement in between there Maybe it's just me No, I see some movement there Never had that happen before I mean, I'm sure it does, but I never had it happen We're just going to clean the laminates off of this. We're going to clean this off So it's got a good solid ground Now what we're going to do Plug our kill wire back in here. We're going to put our two little bolts in here Whatever you do don't cross thread these ones So we're going to tank these up It's far away from the started chewing on that Now we're going to turn the magnets The magnet up here There's the magnet right there Now I've got just a piece of an old envelope fold it over I'm going to stick that in there You can use printing paper if you want I'm going to loosen these and you'll see that drop down on it See dropped right down on it. I once it does that I'm going to give it a little tight and don't strip them And that's just about right Make sure this thing's on because we may have to I don't feel anything. Oh, yeah, I do I feel a little bit We may have to end up Checking the points on this thing Now let's put this back on here. Like I said, that's the governor And I forgot that bolt. So that's not a big deal because the other one will hold it In place And we're not up against the magnets. So Pull that up there. We'll put this back in Make sure that's working. Yep. So that's working Let's put this on here Yeah, I can tell this has been off there You know what? See that?  All right, let me do that So that's good. Put our bolts back in here Once we get our bolts in here, we're going to check them for spark. See if we got spark Okay guys, so monkey ran down Got me some oil We're going to put some oil in this. We're going to pull it over a few times This is a Corvette guys wife. This is just some cheap stuff I had her go down to gas station and pick me up, of course. She's my parts runner Honestly, it might it might knock but then again It might run fine. So I mean Let me get this finished That's pretty close now. Let me get this finished filling up and then Then we'll pull it over and see if we got spark. All right guys, so I got intermittent spark But I might do something That's not the plug we had in there. I tried another plug, but it's you know, pretty much the same thing I don't know if it's in this wire We're in the points so Now I'm going to get some gas We'll shoot a little bit of gas down here in this carburetor Well, you know what first let's Let's use the brake the brake cleaner. It worked the other day for so Let's try that first.  It's on Let's try this out. See what happened. Okay. Let me get some gas. We'll try the gas first. Okay guys, so I took some gas out of the vat And I used this line here this rubber fuel line to put some fuel in it I think I put too much in it's probably flooded but let's try it if it don't start then Then we'll we'll check the points to see why we're getting intermittent spark, but I you know, it should fire All right, let's pull. Let's get into the points. Okay guys. This is what I did Had to change the coil um That little black motor over there's an 84 and it's got electronic ignition I went to check the points and I was like, wait a minute before I pull all this apart This got electronic And I could get spark. I put shrink wrap around there. I could get spark if I move this a certain way I could get all kinds of spark, but as soon as I go to put it on the on the plug No matter what it lost spark So I've got spark in this I haven't tried it yet But if it runs You know, if it'll start up and die Then we'll we'll put some gas in the We'll put some gas in the tank And see how it runs But let's give this a shot. I know it's not tight. But what are you guys looking at here? Okay, let's see if we can get it to run It fired. I think it's gonna run. Let's um Let's dribble a little gas down in that carburetor. That wasn't much at all. There we go I mean it fired So let's put some gas in it. Well That tank looks like crap Okay, well Yeah That tank shot Okay, let me let me see if I clean that out some Okay guys, I cleaned that out the best I could Not real great It is leaking. It looked like I put some gas in it I can only imagine what that carburetor is like, but I do have another tanking carburetor That will fit on there.  But that's another day But we took an engine that was free That was locked up And we got it running and it sounds good. I don't hear any knocking so That's probably going to be a good little three horsepower engine All right guys, I'll be back with you in a second Check it out guys.  I don't know That coil started doing the same thing and I tried five different plugs that I know are good and uh As soon as I plug it in It wouldn't spark across the gap. But if I put my finger across the gap Like that, I can feel it. It would shock the hell out of me. I don't know what was going on, but It got spark, so Um Yeah, we took a locked up engine that thing sounds peppy now I ordered a throttle cable twist cable for the thunderbird and the minibike Ordered a carburetor and a pipe. That's pretty peppy if I'd known that I would have ordered If I knew that engine was going to run that good, I would have just ordered a tank for it and a pipe for that Because the carburetor's fine apparently because it's it'll set night on it revs up. So Uh, yeah, I would have just ordered a tank. Them things are cheap. They're diamond dozen. I would order the tank for it A bigger tank this one over here is a lot deeper tank, but it's the same tank. I do believe I can use it but man, um That still might be a possibility to put on that thunderbird and uh See what happens with it We'll see how that one runs because 79 cc. That's three horsepower, which that that's a It's a harbor freight engine So a predator 79 cc, which is three horsepower. That's a three horsepower, but that thing sounds peppy That might be another video We may put it on there I mean, you know, I can change it over in 10 minutes Put it on there and see what it sounds like or you know see what it runs like Whichever runs the best we'll leave it on there and then Sell the bike with whatever engine's the better engine on it So, yeah, anyway guys happy Easter Um, I may throw out a quick video tomorrow telling you happy Easter Um today saturday. So tomorrow's Easter I think i'm going to smoke a ham. I might bring you along with me for that. I smoked a ham twice For christmas, but you know for Easter Hey, let's see, you know I may throw out a video out for you guys tomorrow But yeah, as soon as those parts come in we'll get back on the Thunderbird And we'll throw the carb on it and the throttle and see what we can do with it um Man that engine sounds good. It sounds peppy I looked down inside the cylinder the best I could I didn't get my scope out Didn't really have to shine a light down in there. You can still see the cross hatching in that thing And it's clean inside that cylinder clean So I don't think it's had a lot of use since 1989 But that'd be a good good little motor for something like that and I remember guys This is a kid's bike. It's not going to run me Up the hill 40 miles an hour. It might run me down the hill 35 to 40 but You know for a kid it'd be it'd be it'd be a good beginner bike for somebody you can get like I said all kinds of upgrades You can get a front brake system for you can get hydraulic brakes for the back And you can get risers For the uh handlebars raise them up a little bit You get all kinds of stuff for them things. It's a mini bike man. You can hop them up You change the the sprocket to the sprocket It's kind of a small sprocket. It's it's built for some speed If I put a bigger sprocket on it if I was going to keep it I would go with another size up sprocket for more torque Because usually you're going you're going to be riding him off-road You're going to be going up hills and and you know through the woods and stuff You know, you really don't need a lot of speed. You're not You know very seldom are you going to have something like that out on the highway where you where you need to run 35 miles an hour You want torque on something like that on an off-road vehicle? You want a little speed, but you kind of want an in-between But anyway, we took an engine that was locked up I I almost pulled the side cover off, but I thought well, wait a minute. Let's just try it So probably just from scent with no oil, but it sounds good. There's no knocks no pings. No nothing in that engine so Yeah, all right guys. Thanks for watching. I appreciate it. Hopefully your weekend's going great And uh, you know happy Easter everyone And we'll see you guys in the next one. Um, thanks for watching appreciate it. I gotta clean all this stuff up now If a lot easier getting the stuff out than putting it back in All right guys especially because you know, it's like You know, I got two four six And 12 I got 12 drawers that Different ranches and stuff are in and you know, it's like which one did this come out? So thanks for watching guys appreciate it. Stay tuned for another video I've got an invoke unboxing video coming up right after this one. So stick around guys We'll see you in the next one. Shea bear the myth man ledge. I'm gone for now. Thanks for joining me Happy Easter everyone. Stay safe. Enjoy yourself. Bye. Bye and take care One more time for fun


One of the most common questions I get asked is, you know, how do I start day trading? So what me and my mentor about it for our viewers on YouTube is create a free mentorship course that reveals our 12 secrets that every single brand new day trader should know before they get started. But please take note that there is limited seating every single week. So please reserve your spot at myinvestingclub.co. The link is in the description. A couple weeks ago, I did a market sentiment piece and it was really focused on the QQQ and the spy, right? And so like the QQQ, like I'm just going to call it the Qs, or the Qs had a little bit of discrepancy with the spy. The spy was kind of pushing it all time, you know, kind of borderline pushing all time highs, but the Qs were still struggling from that textile off trying to get its footing, trying to get his footing back, right? But I thought that the key ticket for the market to kind of come back like was going to be the higher low on 310 after seeing a 320 reject, that's going to be the golden ticket for confidence and sentiment in the market again. And I thought like as I did the webinar, like it was kind of a red day and I was thinking that the red day would hold, you know, like if anything under 310 was okay of a hold. If we saw 305, I thought that would be drastically unhealthy. And then I had a backup scenario that if we did do that, as long as we held 300, I think we channel for a little bit. But if we held, I think that the market feels confident. And so, you know, this was coming off of the like two weeks ago, this was right after like those stimmies kind of hit like a week after the stimmies hit. But I felt that it was kind of anti-climactic, right?  Just to make sure I am recording, right? Yeah. Like it didn't even really matter. Like nothing changed. Like everything still like we didn't have that euphoria at all.  It's like all of the tech stocks were just in the shitter. And that just kind of like trickle down into like, you know, just buyer's confidence all around. We saw that in small cap land a little bit even too. And so, you know, it felt like we needed to shake out. And a little bit of good news wouldn't have hurt. I don't think we got any really good news this week. So we didn't get that. Like I feel a lot better if like we had some kind of good news. Like I think I think there was one good news, I think that came out this week is that like Bloomberg put it out that the earnings projections for 2021 is supposedly really good. So I mean, don't quote me on that, but I believe I read Bloomberg articles every day. So I think I saw that that week and that was pretty positive. So we'll see. Right now, I actually think that there's a like, let's look at the cues. Hey guys, my name is Tosh Bradley. I'm one of the head mentors and moderators at My Investing Club. If you have any questions about getting started in trading, getting started in the MIC, MIC in general, text me at<PHONE_NUMBER>. This is not a robot. It is me directly on the other end of my business line and we'll get you in the club. We also have special promotions going on that I can get to you depending on your trading needs. Hit me up. Back to the video. So, and the reason why I'm focusing on the cues instead of the spy is because the spy is fine. The spy is like absolutely fine.  There was never really any fear on the spy, but the cues drastically got hurt, right?  And so like, I thought that it was good. The spy was at all-time highs. And I think the spy being at all-time highs is kind of dragging the cues up a little bit, kind of, you know, giving a little support system for this bump up. But this is, this is what I was talking about a couple of weeks ago. I was talking about, like, I think this is the ticket, this 320 reject, but the 310 hold. And this is like this kind of shakeout day that I was talking about. This is that shakeout day that I thought we might need. But as long as we stayed awake in 305, I thought we were good. That's basically exactly how this panned out. You know, we kind of did a little slippage under 310. The next, like this, I believe was the webinar day, 324, right? That was the webinar day, right? 325 was the webinar day. Yeah. So we were like, right here, it's this little slippage under here. And that 310 hold now, and, you know, the spies at all-time highs, this is kind of pulling the confidence up. The only thing I wish could be better is, I don't know, like it, I don't know, the inflation fear is still looming. I think that's still on everybody's mind. Like I don't think that's gone. From everybody's mind. So like it's not like we're in the same kind of bubble that we were in, like, here or here. I do think that this push up here is going to be a little bit shakier than maybe some of the other ones, just because we still have that kind of inflation fear, I think. But it should be an uptrend. I think it still should continue. So I'm going to be looking at swings, you know, just possible potentials over the weekend and just seeing, hey, if I want to dip my toes and stuff. But, oh, no, what's up there? He's not here. But anyway, yeah, so I think it looks pretty good. I'm going to start looking for swing opportunities again, and, you know, slowly build into it, because I do think, like, I think that there's a lack of, I think there's a lack of over the hump type of news that we're missing. And I don't know what that could be. I'm trying to think of things in the future, like what could it be? It might need to be realization of earnings. Like, I know everyone's pretty much for the most part back to work. But maybe this next earnings season, we just, that comes up, you know, if that kind of cements it, that might be the over the hump news for that confidence, like, hey, maybe we can get back on track. So I know that's the only, like, I like the chart, but it's, I don't know, just, this could just be my own, my own, you know, like, back of the mind worries. But it feels like it's a, like, it's an empty chart. Like, it's good. It feels like the spies pulling the cues up again, and that's good. But, you know, if we have bad news, is the market going to react more to bad news than it would good, you know, as positive to good news? I think that, like, it's still on the bad news side. Any kind of bad news, and like, we're immediately under 320 and I'm like, I can easily see a stronger red candle than we do a green candle. Thank you so much for watching our video.

Hey guys, so I realized while recording I do not feel like my normal high energy self or at least I don't to me That is for a couple of reasons One state of the world to this movie is just so bad that I didn't feel like putting the time or effort into making my like normal high energy over acting self so Yeah, just keep that in mind Also spoilers massive spoilers in this but you're not gonna watch the movie so it doesn't matter all right Anyway, hope you guys enjoy the video. So here it is. Hello, and welcome back to another Critical review of mine this time on the movie lockout. So to begin with lockout is a sci-fi movie taking place in 2079 I believe where basically at this time Super max criminals I guess are being held in stasis on a space station because Apparently reasons Yeah, that was not explained at all like it is not explained why we're holding them in stasis in space Because they're in stasis. So why do they need to be in space? They're in stasis. They shouldn't what? I don't know that's not explained at all, but like okay.  It's it's very very weird and annoying and I I did not like watching this movie at all the movie Goes from decently choreographed fight scene to a ps2 graphic I'm not kidding. It suddenly is like 200 miles an hour while he's on a motorcycle Shooting cars that are chasing him and things are blowing up on the street The only lead-in to this that we get is him seeing the motorcycle and then it just cuts to that Okay, I don't understand why we're using a ps2 graphic, but Anyway after the ps2 graphic he crashes almost he almost dies But barely stops because cliche and then gets arrested because they they apparently believe that he's selling state secrets Or something or they thought the guy that he supposedly killed was selling seats It is not explained why he is arrested Outside of they think he shot someone who was supposedly selling state secrets Which if the guy was selling state secrets wouldn't the government want him dead and stopped to begin with Yeah, again, it's not explained why he was arrested Outside of he they think he killed the guy.  No, that is not how this works. Not at all But anyway, the movie then cuts to the first daughter She is in the station basically trying to figure out if the stasis thing is a good or a bad thing So they can you know do policies based on that because reasons and then you know bad things happen because they let out a crazy person who stole a gun and you know Hostage the Entity of the station and then let everyone out and then tried to rate the first daughter Like that that was a scene like you could tell where it was going and then his brother stops him Which I was grateful for so after that they get snow To agree to go to the ship so he can avoid Prison time which by the way he has been convicted to like 30 years with no hope of parole Because they think he shot someone no trial no nothing I don't care that it's shit up in our Constitution as something you were guaranteed Oh boy. God.    I'm pretty sure it's Irish So I wish you're Scottish.   I have opinions Here that was the one good part of the movie And it's just it feels like it was supposed to be made in the 90s But they didn't think they had the budget so they pushed it off ten years.   I can't really say much. The movie is just really bad The set design looked amazing. I'm a massive I love sci-fi and fantasy and so if you get an amazing looking set I will love you like the movie pan from 2015 yeah 2015's pan the Peter Pan sequel never only it looks gorgeous like The set and everything looks amazing and I thought that was brilliant, but The movies really bad Lockout is a very similar way The set looks pretty damn cool all the props look awesome, but the movie is bland is all hell and just Boring it makes no sense and oh my god.   Just don't please tell me a favor Don't watch this movie if you can avoid it never watch this film for me This movie rolls of four like this movie failed that check to make me enjoy it by and large Super cliched plot feels like it came out and it should have come out in the 90s Which it didn't I remember this because I remember seeing commercials being like that looks awesome I want to see it with just cliched plots cliched characters boring dialogue Pretty looking set, but that's pretty much all the movie is going for it So even if you're bored, there are better action movies to watch better sci-fi movies to watch Minority reports on Netflix watch that. Yeah, just Overall not enjoyable movie at all. Seriously. I think that's the lowest seven I don't think I've ever given no no I don't think I've ever gotten to a natural one this came close But the pretty-looking set and the fact that the characters didn't end up together immediately at the end of the film I liked that so gave it a little bit back so a four, but Yeah, that's all I have for now guys I hope that you enjoyed this video if you'd like to follow me on Twitter or Instagram links to both of those are going to Be in the description down below as always if you'd like to watch more of these reviews Playlists is going to be linked right there If you would like to see another video of mine, whatever that is going to be linked right there and Yeah, I hope that you guys have a great day and as always. Peace out


The Free Speech Union was set up by Toby Young to defend people expressing controversial views from professional or reputational damage. They've been critiqued as an outfit only interested in defending people's right to be racist or homophobic. However, a decision by the International Olympic Committee to ban athletes from taking the knee in solidarity with Black Lives Matter gave the organization an opportunity to show they weren't just rank opportunists looking to only defend bigotry. So would the Free Speech Union defend the right to express a political opinion they didn't agree with? We found out when their Deputy Director Emma Webb spoke to Talk Radio. The decision by the International Olympic Committee to ban this is consistent as you mentioned already with rule 50 and so I think it's the right decision and actually groups like the Football Association should probably follow suit because as you've pointed out this is a highly politicized organization and it's not exactly a tenable position to suggest that this is simply a gesture of anti-racism when it's so closely associated with what is obviously a far-left political movement. Yeah, absolutely. Which again it's just this goes over old ground I guess Emma, but I mean it staggers me the free pass some of these people have been given into the highest of our governments and institutions around the world. Perhaps because of the name of the organization that you know people start to discombobulate and think well I better respond to that or you know I better be open to the ideas of these people because you know after all they're called Black Lives Matter. I mean that sounds like something very worthy that we should all be signed up to. Yeah, it's excellent branding because superb. If you work in PR it doesn't get any better than that really. Exactly and you know as you say we've been over this ground time and time again because no one's going to disagree with the fact that Black Lives Matter and anybody who cares about equality or comes from a sort of civil rights perspective Martin Luther King style approach to these sorts of things wouldn't find anything objectionable in that but it isn't just purely about racism. You couldn't make it up they're called the Free Speech Union you know they say look we defend people's right to say controversial things even if it's offensive even if it's bigoted. Now someone wants to kneel down to speak out against racism by cops against Black people and suddenly no no no not only at the IOC the International Olympic Committee right to ban taking the knee the FA should do it too. Football players should be banned from taking the knee at the start of matches.  Free speech for people I agree with I mean that's not how it works it's like you know innocent until proven guilty if I think you're innocent. I mean the whole point of the rule of law is that it's a universalizable category. You can't just think the law applies to the people that you like. You can't just have a certain moral code to people you already agree with right. Christ I mean these are meant to be adults Michael. This Free Speech Union has been indulged left right and censored by our a pathetic a scurrilous media when like you said there's just these obvious and absurd inconsistencies in what they say. You know I think Michael actually you know Rosa Luxemburg said that best. Freedom is freedom to disagree. You know freedom only exists in a society where there are people that are free to dissent with what you're with what you're saying so I mean yeah I mean this is we'd say you it literally couldn't be further from the truth this person is defending freedom of speech. I mean there's very millennial literally in that it couldn't be further from the truth. They are not defending free speech. They're just defending people that they agree with. Not the same thing. Almost as striking as what she was saying was how easy a ride she got from the radio host who wasn't saying whoa whoa whoa wait a minute wait a minute you're from the Free Speech Union. I thought you were coming on here to argue that this should be allowed and it was in a front that the IOC were banning taking the knee. Ian Collins just like yeah I know Black Lives Matter are fairly controversial aren't they? As I say he doesn't appear to push her back I'm at all on this contradiction but regardless she does offer one defence of the position one defence of the position that people shouldn't be able to take the knee at the Olympics. Let's take a look. When the Olympic Committee International Olympic Committee reviewed this rule and whether or not it should be applied to taking the knee they took a sort of survey of the sports people taking part and found that the majority of people were supportive of the decision to uphold the rule and would have been supportive of a ban of it. So I think there's an increasing consensus within sport that taking the knee is divisive and doesn't really have very much to do with actually kicking racism out of sport. So there's just saying it's right that it's banned because it's unpopular. The whole point of believing in free speech is that your ability to say something shouldn't be based on whether the idea is popular. That's the whole point. The whole ideology behind free speech being you know an important thing is that you can challenge dominant ideologies that you can challenge what people consider to be common sense and that's how you make progress. I mean supposed to be the whole point right and then she's saying oh well if the majority against it you shouldn't be able to say it. Now this isn't just you know the traditional JS mill liberal idea of free speech I'm drawing from because I'm also drawing here from their own website so in the statement of values of the free speech union they write the free speech union believes that if society doesn't uphold the right to express controversial eccentric heretical provocative or unwelcome opinions then it doesn't uphold free speech but then you've got their deputy director who goes on talk radio and says oh no look these ideas were unpopular the majority of people were happy with them being banned therefore we should ban them right. She should read the statement of values of the own organisation that she's presumably employed by. Think about this Tommy Smith 1968 you have the famous Black Pass salute at the 1968 Olympics does she think that that was bad that that was actually egregious that he should have been punished for that in 1968 when you've got you know racial segregation anti-miscegenation so you know Black people and white people couldn't get married in certain states in the US until the mid-1960s does she think he was in the wrong to do that to highlight the Black civil rights struggle in the United States? I presume not I presume she was saying no things are better therefore actually protest was legitimate then but not now I mean that seems so arbitrary and by the way that what you say Michael that wasn't popular back then more than 50 years ago protest generally isn't popular you know the idea that we'll only defend the free speech of people who say mainstream things but you're not going to be very busy are you when we saw this earlier as well the Jewish Chronicle they said how can you call somebody far right if they've got mainstream views well you know it was mainstream to believe in slavery 200 years ago it was mainstream to think women shouldn't have the vote at the start of the 20th century you know a couple of thousand years ago it was mainstream to think that cannibalism is okay you know people move on because and what's the mechanism for that you have dissenting views people engage with those often not positively but eventually there's some change they use those reflecting their own behavior and then they say actually this is right this is the correct way of doing things and that's that's the that's the social argument it's a social good to have freedom of speech even if you don't necessarily agree with this argument or that argument because a society it challenges us and we can move from a position of ignorance to one of you know illumination enlightenment I don't think she even knows what the hell she's talking about Michael I think this lady just wants an excuse to to bash the left and free speech and freedom of expression is not a left it shouldn't be a left right thing you know there are many people on the right who genuinely believe in it and there are many people on the left who genuinely believe in it but it's become this like weird cultural cultural I mean it doesn't it doesn't mean anything you know Voltaire has talked about it you know Rosa Luxemburgs talked about it Jess Mill talked about it you're looking at really disparate ideological traditions who said freedom of speech is really important anyway maybe we shouldn't you know maybe Michael maybe just maybe the free speech union aren't good faith actors have you thought about that


In the 19th chapter of the Koran, Mary is giving birth to Jesus. I didn't even know Jesus was in the Koran, the things they don't teach you in Hebrew school. It says the pains of childbirth drove her to the trunk of a palm tree. She cries out, and she is answered by Gabriel, archangel, and evidently obstetrician. Who knew? Shake the tree, he says, and it will drop upon you ripe fresh dates and you'll be all better. No epidural necessary. Which dates really help with labor and delivery? It would take a little over 2,000 years, but researchers finally decided to put it to the test. There's some anecdotal evidence that dates might be helping, but they wanted to know for sure whether the addition of date fruit for the last few weeks of pregnancy would reduce the need for labor induction or augmentation. That's where you give drugs to induce uterine contractions to initiate or accelerate labor. This is one of the most commonly performed obstetrical procedures in the US, dramatically increasing over the last few decades from less than 10% of deliveries to now nearly a quarter. There are certainly legitimate medical indications, but are often done just for convenience, and not necessarily the convenience of the patient, but the provider may also have perverse financial incentives and other reasons to want to speed things along. This might not help with those factors, but might they help foster a normal, spontaneous delivery? Let's find out. A prospective study, women eating 6 dates a day, and that's totally doable, during their last month of pregnancy, versus no dates at all. And the women who consumed date fruit had significantly better cervical dilation, significantly higher proportion of intact membranes. That's a good thing. And spontaneous labor occurred in 96% of those who consumed dates, compared to 79% of women in the non-date group, with significantly less drugs used. And the labor was shorter, as in about seven hours shorter overall. It is therefore concluded that the consumption of date fruit in the last four weeks of pregnancy significantly reduced the need for induction and augmentation of labor. The results warrant a randomized controlled trial. Wait, what? The women weren't randomized? They even talk about how it was hard to find women who had agreed to not eat dates, because it's part of their cultural beliefs. So you can totally imagine how there could be all sorts of differences between the women who ate dates and those who agreed to go without. That could account for the findings. Maybe the date-eaters were more religious or higher socioeconomic status, or who knows?  Might as well give dates a try, but that's not good enough. I want to know if they actually work. But there never been a randomized controlled trial until three years later. The effect of late pregnancy consumption of date fruit on so-called cervical ripening in first-time mothers. In the last few weeks of pregnancy, hormonal changes caused the cervix, the opening to the uterus, to start to ripen, to soften, so that when the contractions start, it can more easily dilate open. At this stage, the cervix loses its integrated structure and therefore becomes soft and dilated as soon as strong contractions begin. Through a ripe cervix, you can push a baby out with like 20 pounds of pressure per square inch, but if the cervix isn't there yet, it can require more like 200 pounds of pressure. So it goes without saying that cervical ripening before the onset of labor is important if you want a normal vaginal delivery. The search for a safe, inexpensive, and easy method of facilitating cervical ripening is therefore of great interest. So let's randomize a few hundred women, starting at like the 37th week, to eat about six dates a day, or not until their first contraction. Cervical ripening is rated with what's called a bishop score. Normally, a score of 5 or less indicates an unfavorable cervix, whereas 8 or more, and you're good to go. But the average bishop score on the women randomized to the date group was significantly higher, closer to 8, whereas the date free group was down at around 5. And the cervix was more dilated in the date group. And hey, dates are healthy anyway, so maybe dates should be recommended for pregnant women to help with cervical ripening, particularly in the last few weeks of their pregnancy.


What's up guys so today's vlog is gonna be really fun So today what we're gonna be doing is color and a haircut on a live model I know you guys like those videos the inspiration for today's video came partly from my model Ani who I've done her hair in the past and then the other Inspiration for this video came from Paul Mitchell themselves because I was talking to them and they were talking about how it's the 20th anniversary of the color. This is the Paul Mitchell the original the color So I can't believe it's been 20 years. I've used this color for a very long time since the beginning of my career So I wanted to create a video Catering to what Ani wants and then also showing you guys some really cool color technique and also a haircut So Ani came in and she had really brassy ends of her hair from pretty much the mid-shaft to the end And she wanted to go back to more of her natural color So what I decided to do was create a block color technique for you guys It's a very simple technique that you'll be able to use in the salon right away It gives multi-dimension to hair color and also brings out the haircut as well So I think you guys are gonna like this video We also She requested a certain haircut and this is the cut that she decided to go with and the thing I like about this haircut is it starts a little bit shorter gets a little bit longer This was off of Pinterest so it's where a lot of our guests get their ideas Says 21 cute lob haircuts for the summer so they're considering this a lob haircut It is definitely a longer kind of bob feel to it But I would say it's definitely longer than a long bob But we'll call it a long bob just to be safe and we'll blame it on Pinterest so Hope you guys enjoy this video if you are liking this video Then make sure you hit the like button and also share this video into a hairdresser group so we can spread these Free salon education videos to as many hairdressers as possible. Thank you guys so much. Hope this video inspires you Let's get started. All right guys So I want to give you a good look at the before on Ani's hair So it's very brassy on the ends pretty much all the way up through mid shaft almost to the base only about two Inches of dark so she wants to go back to her natural color, which you can see it coming through So I'm gonna do a block color technique what I'm doing is I'm doing a zigzag parting around the top of the head So basically above the parietal back below the parietal back above the parietal and what that's gonna do is give me little triangle sections To allow the hair to fall in different dimensions. So now we're gonna get into mixing palmatial the color. This is seven and B It's a neutral blonde. So the reason I went level seven Some of you guys are probably like well, that's not close to our natural is I really just wanted to soften this 5a So I've got the 5a, which is an ash tone. It's got a blue base So it's gonna be nice and deep, but then I'd use the seven and B just to just to kind of Soften it warm it up a bit give it almost that level six feel But still keeping the 5a to get rid of that orange tone So we're using our blue base to get rid of the orange tone Then I go in my second formula is gonna be 5nn, which is a light neutral neutral brown So this has a lot of depth to it and this is where I'm gonna get my darkest tone And I'm not cutting that with anything so I'll get a true level five almost appearing as a level four And I mixed 10 volume with both of these formulas. So what's gonna happen is the 5nn I'm gonna put on the bottom part of that Overhead and then I'm gonna put the other formula on the top of her head And it's gonna mix and match because of that sectioning that we did So I start off and I start coloring the bottom I put on that 5nn and I color around each of those little triangle pieces So some of you guys have been out there. This isn't a technique I created This is a technique that is just great Block coloring is an unbelievable way to create dimension within hair color And I think it's what makes us professional is being able to go in there and create multiple Kind of multi-dimensional tones throughout the head. That's the whole purpose natural hair is never one color Right because the Sun lightens it up or whatever. So I go in I add the depth underneath So I paint everything at the base first I work my way all the way around the head and then I paint it through the ends that tends to work for me some people really love to Paint the scalp to ends right away. I think painting the scalp getting that on as quick as possible So it's nice and consistent and then getting everything else on as quick as possible It works the best and it's just my preference, but you guys can do it however you like So again, just painting through another little quick tip This is something I learned from my pal calling Caruso a long time ago Is using the rat tail comb in my hand while I'm painting? So I'm not messing up my brush and I just use that rat tail to take my section and then I'm already ready to paint So it's just a quick way to get through the head And that works really well as well. So there's a little tip for you So now I go through once I have that 5nn on the base And I just paint it through the ends working the color back and forth thing I like about Palmachal the color is it's got a nice creamy consistency to it So it glides to the hair really well We get a lot of saturation and it's just a really great hair color true to tone So I use 10 volume as well not trying to lift this obviously she's already at the level that I needed So I think too many people go extreme with their developer And then when you do that you're lifting the hair underneath and I didn't want that so Because she's already at a level five on a root if I would have put 20 volume on there I might have lifted her root and created more orange tone than I wanted and I wouldn't have got this soft result that I get at the end So now painting the top formula the 7nb mixed with that 5a and Just so you guys know I don't think I mentioned it yet But the the mixture of that was it was two parts of the 5a to one part of the nb So still keeping it a nice deep tone, but just adding that 7nb in there to soften it up So once I get that painted through then I'm gonna twist the whole section up together and kind of knot it away The only reason I do this just to keep it clean and out of the way.  This is the Donald Scott carving comb This is a cool tool available in two different forms There's a fine tooth and a wide tooth on freeslineeducation.com And I'm gonna use that for the haircut and I'm also gonna use Olaplex number two as kind of a Treatment because it's a bond multiplier. So it's gonna help create extra bonds in her hair, but also at the same time Using a razor. So a lot of people freak out about using a razor. I used a fresh blade I use Olaplex number two so she gets a treatment the entire time and I go in and I start my cut I took the parting basically straight down Center back and then I went from the occipital bone over to the ear pretty standard sectioning for me And I just hold everything horizontally and I carved through it with the hundred percent cutting side of the carving comb Then I go through you can see what I'm doing now as I go through with the 50 percent cutting side So I'm only taking out every other section of hair and I just debulk the ends the whole point of this Haircut I think is to make it nice and light throughout the ends But still have a blunt feel that might not make much sense But you see a lot of people maybe walking around the supermarket that Have had this haircut done with a scissor and they just get it cut blunt and it becomes super heavy So I love the razor for this cut because every time I take that one inch kind of Pattern back and forth on the hair that stroking pattern You're softening the edge and that's why this haircut lays so nice at the end So I go through hundred percent cutting side. I keep bringing everything back to that one point It's a very simple cut But you just want to make sure that you're doing all of your strokes the same way and consistent And then also as I start to work my way off to the edge I start letting the hair get a little bit longer. So almost drawing it with a pencil to be longer towards the side I didn't want to continue that line across because it would have been too short in the front And Ani really wanted that length in the front.  So I'm actually on my knees Going through and cutting this but it's nice to be nice and low to the work As opposed to bending over and trying to get your cut the right way So I love using a cutting stool in situations like this So again, you can see me go in with the 50% carved side. That's just softening the edge So I cut the blunt edge then I go through and I soften it with the 50% carve If you guys have never seen the carving comb before it's available on free salon education comm. That's our website You could purchase it. It's like 40 bucks. I think it's $39 pick up some extra blades on there as well It's a great tool to have because not only is it a razor it has two different types of razor It has a comb so you can also hold your scissors at the same time So it's almost a tool that allows you to hold three different tools in your hand at the same time Now see how I'm kind of stretching and creating length on the edge that's really just to preserve that length and it's Customizing it right so you could do that with scissors as well. Just go through a point cut You just get more of a blunt edge and a bulkier You get bulk a bulkier feel on the ends.  I would charge extra for that treatment But it's an unbelievable treatment gives her hair a lot of shine and helps build those bonds Now I'm going in with the invisible wear volume whip I like to put my product in and brush it through so I'm using my ergo paddle brush brushing it through the hair and Getting it very consistent throughout the entire ends of the hair and then I start in This is the palmatial neuro dryer and I just work some of the moisture out of the hair and then after I get it about let's say To the point where it's 60% Maybe 40% dry. Let's say that 40% dry then I'll go through and start with my brush I don't want to power dry the whole thing because then you lose the shine you start lifting the cuticle up But if you go through and then just do a little power dry then work with your brush You're good to go and now I go in with the invisible wear undone texture hair spray and this really you can see I Love putting hair spray on the hair when it's about 80 to 90% dry a little bit of that spray the texture spray And then I go back in blow it dry then iron it and you get this really nice shine and polish on the hair You can see the color also come into life. It's not super dark. She wanted a chocolate feel It's right at about what her base was and it also has that dimension and movement But it's not too different like we used a level five and we used a level six not crazy But I'm not about coloring hair all crazy. I'm about creating very natural Looks in hair. So you can see that angle that goes forward. I think you guys are gonna be able to use that technique a lot I hope you can Also, I go through and I just touch it up with a scissor Just any little hairs that are hanging out or anything like that. It's always good to go in and work on those details Right there. I'm just showing you that because of that 50% car side you get that soft edge Look at the shine and the I mean this color. There's a reason. It's been around for the last 20 years Beautiful shine. You can see the dimension in there.

Voice is a powerful seesaw tool to use in the classroom, both for teachers delivering instruction and students developing mastery. Let's check out some ways teachers and students are using this transformational tool. The Voice tool ensures learning is accessible to all students regardless of ability or experience. One way teachers use the Voice tool is to attach audio to type directions. Teachers first write out the directions within a text box by selecting the label tool. Then add or upload a voice recording that students can listen to. As opposed to focusing on how to read the directions, students are able to concentrate on successfully completing the task. This reduces cognitive load and also supports comprehension. Using the Voice tool in this way supports students who do not yet have the skills to read and strengthens one-to-one correspondence between text and audio. The Voice tool doesn't only apply to adding audio directions. Voice or audio can be added to pictures and shapes as well. Add extra scaffolds like explanations, reminders, or background knowledge to any image on the canvas. It can also be used for translation to support language learners. Students use the Voice tool to take their learning even deeper. The Voice tool helps students capture, synthesize, and organize thoughts. Teachers can share a reading passage, quote, article, or excerpt from a historical document within the creative canvas. To deepen comprehension, teachers add questions on the same page. As students read each question, they simply tap on the three dots on the question, tap on Voice, and talk through their response. Students and teachers are then able to go back and listen to their thinking, learning, and reflections. Students can use this tool in so many ways to unleash the power of their thoughts and voice. They can share, explain, or reflect on specific parts of their learning, create or record a podcast, or verbally respond to questions or prompts, making learning more accessible than ever. The Voice tool allows teachers to provide accessible learning experiences to all students while giving students agency over their own learning. Your challenge is to use the Voice tool as you are creating learning experiences in CSaw. Share the creativity you capture on Twitter using the hashtag CSawMiaMinute.


Through my training I became much more interested in functional neurosurgery which is the effort to try to help patients regain function once they become disabled by intractable epilepsy movement disorders or chronic pain syndromes. Two of the important parts of functional neurosurgery has been an evolution of minimally invasive procedures to the point where we could perform many of our procedures without even any scalpels or incisions utilizing computer guided radiation therapies such as Gamma Knife or computer guided ultrasounds in an MRI scanner. These type of minimally invasive surgeries can be as effective as invasive operations. There are other operations that we perform that are much less invasive than before. One of my favorite minimally invasive procedures is the use of deep brain stimulation therapy which uses a small incision in a dime size opening in the skull to use a computer guided probe to pass an electrode to a specific nucleus inside the center of the brain called the thalamus or the globus pallidus or the subthalamic nucleus. These targets are very very helpful in being able to alleviate tremors and movement disorders as you see in patients with Parkinson's disease. This type of treatment can be life changing especially when these symptoms rob patients of the function of their ability to feed themselves or dress in the morning or take care of their activities of daily living. So I'm very pleased to see this and many times the results can be so dramatic that it becomes a poster child for showing patients who are considering having the treatment to be able to interact and talk with patients who have had that treatment. To me I'm excited to continue to see the evolution of our care as we adopt new technologies to enable us to become more capable of alleviating the symptoms as well as the cause of the problems of our patients' neurological illnesses.
