I'm an engineer and this is the TI Launchpad. Now about a month ago, IEEE Computer Society here at the University of Texas at Austin had a Launchpad competition that was sponsored by TI. They handed out free Launchpads and they had a competition of who can implement a security system based on a knock pattern, so like a super secret knock like that. So this is our solution that we came up with. We won the competition, we actually not won, we slaughtered the competition. We won by 43 points. There's a couple of links below that you can look at the contest packet that has like the rules and all the problem statement on it and you can look at the point layout. Now our system is based on Launchpad and so instead of having a microphone for knocks, we just use this button right here so it registers the knock as a rising edge on the button. So when you press the button, it's like the moment you hit the door with your fist and so we'll go ahead and run the program. And so on boot, the system is locked, so red LED means locked and it's armed. So you have to put in the password so that your users can use the password and unlock the door. So you have to put the admin password in to set the user password. So we'll put the admin in. So admin password's entered. Now it's saying the red and green alternate flashing and it's basically saying, hey, put in a password for the users. So we'll do three quick, pause three quick. So now it's locked again. So let's say your employee comes up and wants to unlock the door. Green light's unlocked and then it waits for 15 seconds or so and then it puts it back over to locked again. So we can do that again. Locked locked. And that's about it. The program is a bit rough, see if I can pull up main. It's only in one file. It's a little dirty. Basically everything happens in the timer interrupts, which is not the best way. It's kind of like a pseudo state machine without the state machine part. It just runs a whole bunch of if statements. If I was able to redo this, I would put everything into a proper state machine, but we only had three hours to do so and it doesn't matter because we won anyways.

Glenn Clark alongside head coach Jackie Boswell after Stevenson picked up his 72-34 win tonight over Alvernia Coach it was senior night a lot of emotions and I know a lot of special memories that'll last for a long time for some pretty special players Yeah, I certainly hope so. I mean, you know, we've very fortunate to get those three seniors And I think they've done such a great job for our program and they've grown over the years And it's just been really nice to watch them. And I know they're gonna do such great things when they leave here and we're certainly gonna miss them but I was glad to see them be able to come out and actually I think That they got the first set of points all three of them Yeah, so so that's pretty neat and you know, we tried to tell me before getting started just to you know Take it all in and let people talk really nice about you and and how special it is to be a part of a team that just Really thinks that highly of you. So Sarah Tarbert now with a 25th consecutive double-double She's one shy of the all-time record at the D3 level. I know we've basically run out of superlatives At this point but because if it happens is gonna happen on the road You got to tell us about what this what watching this would being a part of this is meant to you Well, you know, it's been it's been a lot of fun and you know again just watching her have such a phenomenal season I mean, we knew she was a great player But she's just having just one good game after another and and I hope for her sake It really does continue because it is very special and I'd like to see her leave here with as many accolades as she can get Not about that now third seed locked up You have one more game before the tournament gets underway and clearly we're now to the point of the season where this is everything That you're playing for right? We just want to go up to like homing on Saturday It's always a tough place to play and you know They're playing for something actually that game does mean something for them So we have to just you know kind of worry about ourselves And we've we've got to make sure that we execute everything that we're gonna practice over the next couple days Coach best of luck on Saturday. Thanks so much and congratulations on a win. Great. Thank you


Good Thursday morning everyone it is the last trading session of August and we are here on the floor of the New York Stock Exchange with Jim Kramer to talk about the markets but first Jim it was an important night last night for these ski daddy skis. One of the most important nights of the year obviously and this is my fantasy team in the slump of Dickalig which is made up mostly of mad money people. I drifted in the fifth hole I was able to snare OBJ why did I want him because I'm tired of him beating me and also because I need an insurance policy against the Eagles and this way I feel like he's the guy who's destroyed me more than any other player I wanted to neutralize. I might even just bench him I just don't want to play him and then I was able to get Brandon Cook so he fell right in my lap after Adelman which is incredible and then I like to go with rookie running backs I've gotten Mixon who I think is going to end the bus the whole running back by committee thing and and McCaffrey who I just think could have more touches than any other player in the NFL. Viking D fell right to me I was rather amazed with that. John Hansen from fantasy guru you must get his service he blessed my team which I posted on Twitter almost immediately Matthew Burry one of my idols said he loved my wife received record he felt my running backs were suspect. Well you also posted a selfie in your war room. Yeah I was wearing I was wearing my Dawkins jersey assigned to Dawkins jersey and Dawkins has always been an inspiration to me it was a Westbrook versus a Dawkins but I wanted an actual game jersey and Brian Westbrook did not I don't have a game jersey from him last year I wore my wench jersey was the only person who had a wench jersey. Like I said my whole team is posted and those who have criticized me remember two team Super Bowl winner two time two time some people say Dynasty. Dynasty is back. Yeah all right Jim Kramer let's move on to some well more somber news at Wells Fargo what a mess more fake accounts potentially discovered. Yeah I mean John Stump came on the show and made money and pretty much assured me that there really wasn't anything left that they had done a thorough investigation and it looks like a white wash to me. Now whoever did that investigation I want to know their names. I want to know why we need this board. This board seems to be easily replaceable by people perhaps from outside. I want to know why there isn't a special master being assigned the way that Bristol Myers had a special master when Bristol Myers was doing things we should I urge the government to appoint a special master to Wells Fargo. That's exactly what they do right today. There should be a special master running that you know the U.S. Attorney for in California moving California they should put a special master. This could not be allowed. They need someone from the outside on that bank. My advice is special master. Look at the situations that have had to have special masters. They're almost always involved as kind of chicaner. So will we see Wells Fargo executives in handcuffs at some point. Nothing will happen at all. My special master won't be listened to. This is America. In America that doesn't happen now. Other countries but no no one handcuffs. No. Maybe big bonuses. You know they probably get some good bonuses. Right. I mean look at the all that account opening. Right. A lot of money made in quotes. Well you know the cross sell was incredible. Warren Buffett didn't seem to mind. I mean it's business as usual at Wells. Maybe I'll do more business with him. So it's like everybody else. Maybe I'll open account with them today. I've done some good mortgage work with them. Show them some support for their incredible cross selling. They clearly love opening accounts. Yeah. I mean obviously they had some very thorough investigators there. No doubt. Molarian Curley. Maybe maybe Joe. I don't know. I've always felt that Joe did it was second rate. Stooge but maybe he was brought in for because they were shorthanded in the investigation. But not Paul Weiss. No. Not Ted Wells. An inflate gate investigation which was obviously done in a far more serious way. Had a much bigger consequences. Just incredible. All right. Jim we'll move on to. It is America. Nothing will happen. I want to make sure everyone understands that. Elizabeth Warren will call for further investigations.  Read my lips. Nothing will happen. All right. We'll keep watching how it plays out. Jim let's move on to Costco posting some nice comparable short sales. I mean look Costco prices are still underneath what Amazon is going to do. And that's because Costco also has a card. They also like like Amazon Prime Costco delivering incredible numbers. They continue to deliver incredible numbers. Wait till they really gear up on their online. I happen to think Costco is a terrific company and that multiple got too compressed. Or another retail name five below beating on both the top and bottom lines. People weren't excited about it. And I think a lot of that is because people feel that the past issue of how they made it is from fads. They talk about how fads bring people in the store. I think it was actually a much more broad assemblage of SKUs that did well. So I'm not against five below but it does have a 29 multiple which is high. Well those fads were I think fidget spinners. Are you bullish on fidget spinners? No I'm a seller of those.  All right Jim Warner's reporting that GE may be cutting jobs soon. It's amazing because Flannery obviously was going to wait for the big November order of November conference. He's not wasting any time. What does that tell you?  And you think a try on should be on the board Nelson Peltz. Yeah why not. Let's put Ed Gardner on the board. I mean someone from the outside this GE board seems very insular to me. All right Jim moving on next week the new Uber CEO starts. Do you have any advice for him? My advice is just keep doing what you're doing expedited. It was fantastic. He is fantastic. He's a great guy too. All right hopefully he'll be on your show soon. I hope so. I mean his purchase at Homeboy and what he did with that was remarkable. People kept writing him off and saying the price line is good. I like price line but I like the expedient more. All right another stock you like FMC Corp upgraded by Bank of America. Yeah the old food machinery come this is because it's a double whammy. They went from being sell to buy and that's because they're going to get they're getting DuPont's a very good part of DuPont's ag business and remember it's lithium batteries. If you listen to the analog devices call you know the country the world they want electric electrified cars and that means lithium batteries. Well you talked about analog devices in your real money column. You said the quarter was brilliant. Yeah but look at people you should read my column and the reason why I say should read my column is because you'll see the mosaic of what's driving industrial America and technology right now and why the tech stocks aren't done. It's not just fang anymore. It's a fantastic column realmoney.com and Jim I've been going through some of the blogs and I think the pumpkin spice latte starts tomorrow at Starbucks. That's always been good. The triple venting cappuccino with skim wet. I've got my my Starbucks app and now my Starbucks does not have the ability to be able to order in advance. If Starbucks cracks that code and gets the comp stores back to four or five I think the stock can go up. Now I was critical of the company at sixty three sixty four shareholder in my chapel trust and I reserve the right to be critical when I think a stock is about to drop ten points. Well and just on the pumpkin spice latte I did some research. Fourteen grams of protein. Who knew? I think it's a little fattening. Yeah look I'm trying to lose some weight. I felt that I put some on the summer and I make my sauce. I will be saucing this weekend. Tomato sauce this weekend until the cows come home. My pickles were a little too sweet. I might make another round. Another round of pickles will look forward to. Yeah and I'll have some more pictures of my dog NVIDIA. NVIDIA. And I will show you how he really does answer to NVIDIA. I think I will do a I will say NVIDIA come here, NVIDIA come here. One of the things I'm watching is a vago Broadcom now going up. I wonder whether maybe they're involved with a Western digital. I was just positing things. Because the Sashiba deal they said there's three bidders. I thought it was only Western digital. We saw the Western digital really big profit. But I'm gearing on that. And I'm still wondering exactly who was doing that investigation of Wells. 67 percent more bogus. It's extraordinary. But remember what will happen. Bogus and bonus. It's just one letter at G and N. I predict bonuses for Wells Fargo. Not anything. Not slap on the wrist, but bonuses. Because this is America. Maybe a congressional hearing too. No that would require too much work. Yeah it would require Elizabeth Warren having one more person besides Elizabeth Warren and this Bernie Sanders. No nothing happens because it's America. I mean we have to understand that. That's you know I mean it's good and bad. All right you heard it right here everyone. Jim Kramer we'll leave it there. Thank you so much. It's always really appreciated.

Have you ever encountered a grizzly bear in the wild? Would you know what to do if you did? Here are a few pointers to help you be bear aware while in the backcountry. The majority of people who encounter a grizzly bear in the backcountry do not have a negative experience. In fact, if you run across a bear in the wild, it will usually run the other direction. Most serious injuries and deaths caused by grizzlies are defensive in nature. Meaning that the majority of negative human grizzly bear interactions occur when a bear is trying to protect its space, cubs, or food.  When dealing with a grizzly bear in this type of situation, it is best not to match aggression with aggression. Talk firmly and a low-pitched voice while slowly backing away. Bear spray or a firearm is your best bet.  So if you see a grizzly bear, remember to enjoy it from a distance. But if you are in danger, these tips could mean the difference between life and death.

You test it? Hello? Good evening. My name is Denise Glasscock and I work for Accenture. I want to talk to you this evening about orchestration, where we have taken technology and business and shown a unique way to blend them. What I want to do is give you a quick overview as to how we approach our business to technology run. And what we're going to do is talk to you a little bit about how we take the need for time and flexibility and drive that into a solution that provides traditional capabilities our clients need, but push those into tomorrow's needs as to being able to bring transformational growth to our clients. On top of that, we actually look for the ability to do where we can adopt. And what we do is we look for the abilities to drive out what we normally would see as disruption. We take that disruption and we actually turn it into something that's bountiful. And by that, what we do is we look at the way that we can drive intelligence each time we talk to a client. We actually show that client how we can build in interactive capabilities, not only at the back end of the platform, but the front of the platform. We also drive in the capability of what we call preemptive operations. That's where we also look at the ability to keep things liquid. We drive the information of our clients and our systems to keep things as fluid as possible. We also bring out the economies of platform. Depending upon what the client's rules and needs are, we can actually move to any platform on any cloud. The other things that we do is to provide predictable operations. And then we actually, finally at the end of it all, we drive trust. And that trust is driven through the point of where we can actually create information around what's compliant, what's not compliant, what security layers are there. And we can do that all within one platform. Let's see. Maybe it's gotten hung, I think. It's the... First one? Sorry. Yes? Opposite launch. You ready? Yep. You ready? Okay, let's cue this one more time. So, I'm just going to jump ahead here real quick. So, real quick, as a platform, the features that we offer are we bring in a dynamic disruptive platform that brings back in control. And as that control comes through, what we do is we look at for the economies across the platforms, across the clouds, across legacy as well. So, we don't care what kind of technology it is, what kind of cloud it is, what kind of platform it is, we're able to actually interpret that through the APIs. The other things that we do is we look at this as not as a tool, but as a true platform. So, the idea of this thing is to bring a holistic feature into your data center. The goal behind this is to unlock all of these components, to drive the open scalability, to drive open standards, to bring out what the enterprise grade technologies need for data center technologies. The other things that we drive in is we take that policy-driven environment that you're used to, and we bring in the things around. We're the business policies. How do we create preemptive policy? And do we do that by doing real-time machine-driven learning? And over the period of time, what happens is the systems begin to learn how the controls or the necessary needs are, and then the system is actually driven from that. So, it becomes more intelligent. The other things that it does is it drives enterprise grade security. So, we're bringing down all the way from top to bottom across the clouds, across the legacy. We're pushing out compliance and we're pushing out security. The last thing that we do is we offer a single dashboard. So, we take everything and we abstract that. And the reason that we abstract it is to pick up on the skills in the environment or the skills that you have in any given data center, that person may not care about what's under the covers or they may not need to know that information. So, we created personas. And as we did that, we came up with this idea about moving to DevOps. And what we've done is we've created this idea of taking the DevOps into the IS to PAS. And what we've done is this ability to drive continuous delivery at the orchestration layer brings on a holistic view. The other things that we've done is we've taught our clients how to and what it means to be software driven. Now, we're actually requiring our clients to understand what the software is telling you. And behind that becomes a series of recommendations. Those recommendations provide control and they give you that constant information. The last thing that we do is we create an automation of software release. That automation provides consistent templates, uploads and information around what the systems are doing. The other thing that we do is we bring in what's called cloud native. What we want to do here is, again, single point of control across the platform. It's important to create principles of guiding principles. And these principles are actually driven throughout our platform. We've gone to create this idea of rapid assembly. This drives the ability to reuse frameworks quickly. We can use the idea of a 70 30 rule. So for everything that we build, we build 70% towards the 30% is the customization. The other things that we do is we break things down into the smallest building block possible. What that means is it's lightweight. lightweight architectures are much easier and much, much, much more mature than what we are doing today in monolithic architectures. Those are hard to support. The other things that we've done is we created this idea of DevOps and automation. We've integrated the entire platform. The platform consists of a stack. And as you look at this next slide set, you'll see that the stack has several different layers to it. But because of the way that we built it, it feels like one integrated stack. The other thing is, is that we've created, we've brought in a partner called Turbonomics. Turbonomics is now our decision engine. That decision engine allows us to drive the data analytics for operations. That operations gives you the information that you need to continuously update what's going on in your environment. There's a consistent change that happens throughout the machine environments. And what we want to do is we want to learn from the network from the, from the, from the core compute, and from the storage utilization. We also want to understand what fails and what, what, what succeeds. The other things that you guys can do with this is it allows you to do a source to target. So built into the platform is cloud migration. So the cool thing about this is, is that we're actually showing you the ability from day one to look at what your present state is recommended and provide you inventory information and analysis against the environment, provide you a output that goes into the next stage of where your target would be, give you information on, on information about where should I intelligent, you place this, how I should optimize my controls, what kinds of things are in compliance or out of compliance, what kinds of things do I need to, need to interrogate further. And then what things actually should go from one platform to another or not be touched at all. So we actually look for blue, black and green fields. The other things that we do is we deliver thought leadership by, by, by providing any platform, the platform itself. So this is the cool part, right? So that now you're getting into what's under the, under the covers. What we do is everything's built on OpenStack. So OpenStack becomes the, the core infrastructure that we drive. Under that, we can, we can choose any virtualization platform or any cloud platform. And what that does is it allows us to choose how we can best implement for our clients. The user comes in at the, at the user interface in the black box. The custom UI is presented to ping up on their persona. That persona then drives into what's in the, in the, in the actual orchestration engine. That engine is, is built out of several key things. It provides us information on the workload. It provides us provisioning and change management. It actually allows us to integrate into things like BMC or ServiceNow or any of the, any of the ticket services. It also provides us playbooks and things that we can do for full automation. The last thing that we do is we put in brocade as part of our network orchestration. So as far as making, making us a full platform, our ability to orchestrate our networks. And on, on that, we actually integrate things like StackStorm and other, other parts of their components that actually drive us more information around what is going on in the network layer. We can actually understand what's going on at any given point in time and actually react to that as a preemptive environment. Again, the cool thing behind all of this is, is that we don't care what the platform is. We also have this thing with an extension called a blueprint. And what we do is all of our platforms align to a basic framework. So all of the architectures that we build actually go back to that basic framework. The goal here is, is that what we've done is we've aligned from a top to bottom what those key components are. Now, built into this is a lot more of, of the actual interfaces in the, in the integration that needs to go with it. But the idea is, is that it, it completes the entire operational elements of, of a, of a data center. The last thing that we want to talk about really is, is being able to drive this journey, right? And, and the goal that we're having is, is that we want to support wherever a client is in a journey, right? You may find that private, private clouds are where your client wants to be, that what, that what the things are that you need to worry about, that the catalogs, though, that they're how you consume IT, they're, they're the way that you fulfill your environment, right? There's also, as you, as you move towards industrial IT, you become more containerized, you become more industrialized in how you deal with your daily processes. Those methodologies become repeatable, right? We also become this idea of predictability. So you've done it so many times, the systems and the software understands what to do next. Again, the nice thing about this is that, is that we actually bring across, oops, sorry, we actually bring across what's, what's known as the, the, the Intelligent Orchestration Platform, it actually drives that, that capability. The other thing that we do is we execute. And how do you execute? You start with the very beginnings. The easiest thing you do is to do rapid discovery. That discovery tells you information about what's in those systems. We actually do an, an analytic analysis and we actually come back with information that you can do day one. So first thing we can do in the first few hours is we can take actions that make a difference today. That becomes economy of scale immediately. The next thing we do is we look for identification of possible risk areas and we look for how we can optimize. Again, those things save you money immediately. The other thing that we do is we actually look for ways that we can optimize. And by optimizing, it gives us control. And that control provides information again around where am I compliant? Where am I, or my versioning differences are what kind of environment am I looking at and how I can move forward the next stages? It's the rationalizations that we need in order to keep moving ahead. The, the convergence idea is, even as consolidation, that's being able to build in program, program management solutions. And this allows us to adopt standardization. That, that idea of convergence allows us to take the most benefit from all of the work that's happened above this. The transformation stage of it, that's truly where we do the migrations, right? That's where we start to move from point A to point D. And that's also where we get to where day two operations begins. So once, once you get to the transformation, day two begins and what's on day two? Day two is the run state. And once we get to a run state, that all over, it happens again. So we're looking for things where we can continually optimize and continually look for intelligent placement. Finally, the last things that we do is we talk about the cornerstone of, of, of data center and cloud computing is orchestration. So the, just to leave you with a few notes, the orchestrator allows you and, and, and enables the success of your environment. Without methodology and orchestration behind that, you have nothing but, but a lot of machinery information. So what, what I'm trying to get to is, is that cloud management is orchestration. The other things that we do is we decompose the processes. So start with square one. There's going to be a lot of questions, a lot of points of view. What you want to do is break those down into small pieces and then, and then you can build it back up again. The other thing that you can do is step back and look at the broader technology. Look at what you're trying to achieve. The establishment of taking down manual frameworks, manual tasks and building those into automation and integration is where, where you can actually begin to win quickly at. And I'll stop there. So that's, that's the end of this. I want to make it real quick for you guys. Do we have any questions? Okay, well thank you.


Welcome this week's legislative update. I'm Jim Baumgart, your host. Thank you for joining us. And by us, of course, it is my old friend, Cal Potter. I shouldn't say old friend. I have. My good friend. We're on a mission that every citizen should be on from time to time because of the issues that took place in Virginia and issues of the Ku Klux Klan and the Civil War and Civil War statutes and other things. It's good to bring somebody like Cal Potter, who has a history major and good background, with my background, which hopefully is reasonably good, to discuss things so that people have a better understanding and then can make choices for themselves on what we're talking about. One of the things that has been an issue is the Civil War. And if you were a Southerner, Cal Potter, nobody likes to lose, whether it's a fight or a game or whatever it might be. And they lost a major war that took not only tens of thousands and hundreds of thousands of southern soldiers, but the same for northern soldiers. And the reason is because they were afraid of Lincoln and that they would lose slavery. And so some people would like to glorify acts that have taken place during the Civil War, like major battles or great generals or people that became leaders or spies and other things. But we have to remember that the South left a union. As I recall from this, it said they violated the Constitution of the United States in 1861, April 12, the South ceded immediately after Lincoln was elected president. Doesn't sound like they were debating this in Congress. South Carolina called for a state convention to remove itself from the United States of America. Sounds like a violation of our Constitution and was quickly followed by Florida, Mississippi, Georgia, Alabama, Louisiana, and Texas, later followed by the rest of the South. It sounds like they were asking for a fight, unfortunately. Well, there was no redeeming legal or moral road here. They left the union. They violated the Constitution. I mean, they tried to make it look legal by setting up constitutional conventions and electing presidents, but a charade. And what they did is basically did a traitorous thing. They were traitors to the United States and took up arms and eventually it was a war with the United States. And so to somehow glorify, codify what they did, there's no legal reason basis to do it. And the moral issue, of course, is that the Southern economy, its cotton and other commodities, were based on the backs of people who were slaves.  They were bought and sold, whipped, treated like animals. And as a result, there's no moral ground here at all. And so sometimes it was the defense of their culture. Well, their culture was a slave culture. And there's no way in God's Earth that you could justify maintaining that or calling it right. And so people who say we want to remember our culture, we want to go back to that time, they want to go back to the time when they had separation of the races, basically. I mean, after slavery was gone, then the Jim Crow laws came in effect. And as we've said in our previous program, on the books, basically, the elimination of that type of separation and that type of prejudice wasn't until 1965. And when Lyndon Johnson signed both the Civil Rights Act and the Voting Rights Act, he turned to his press secretary, Bill Moyer, who you see on PBS, everyone, and said, when I signed this, Bill, he says, the Democratic Party will lose the South for two generations. Well, Lyndon Johnson, as good of a man as he was, was wrong because probably gonna be 10 generations the way it's going. We're more than two generations now, past 1965, when Southern Democrats went from blue states to red states. They were called Dixie Crats at that time. And what's interesting about trying to solve racism and do away with laws is Lyndon Johnson knew he didn't have, in his own party, the Southern Democrats had enough votes. And so, we talk about bipartisanship and going across the aisle and working together. Lyndon Johnson called an Everett Dirksen, a Republican from Illinois, and he said, I'm down, he says, Everett, you know what's right here, you know what we gotta do, I need your help. And Lyndon and Everett Dirksen did find the votes in the Republican side to help Democrats from the North. And then, of course, after that, all hell broke loose for the Democratic Party today. And so, the conservative West, some of your states like Wyoming and Montana, and so, have gone Republican, but the South is solidly Republican.  And that all goes back to the fact that the Democrats pushed civil rights legislation in the 60s. Well, they wanted people to be able to freely go to school that they were near to. And, I mean, that was the wallest thing and the standing, getting, sending in National Guard, you know, the general Eisenhower, President Eisenhower, sending in National Guard to protect people. It wasn't a free and friendly welcome of the South to make sure that they became a integral part of the whole United States. Matter of fact, when Grant accepted the Robert E. Lee's surrender, which Robert E. Lee hated, and, matter of fact, he hated and strongly didn't want to join the Southern thing because he knew it was a violation of his laws and his conscience as a, I think he was a West pointer, as I recall, but he wanted to go with the state and he fought very well for the state, but nevertheless he fought illegally. And when Grant accepted his surrender, he gave extremely broad positive things for the Southern soldier. He let them keep their horses if they owned them and their guns if it was something they could use to harvest deer or whatever. And very few were punished, you know, there were people that ran concentration camps or prisoner of war camps. They were punished if they had done inhumane things, but pretty much forgave the South. And they turned on them again. Well, and like we said in the last program, when you got into the later 1800s, it didn't take long for the reunion troops to be pulled out of the South. There just was no interest. And it's constantly. Sure. And a lot of it had to do with attitudes in both parties not to be punitive against people who were racist. Like I said, in the 19, well, President Wilson was very much a racist. In the 1920s, you started to see some change. In the 1920s, you had a lot of flooding down South, particularly along the Mississippi River. And a lot of black people who were tenant farmers were stranded, they were in dire straits, and they were appealing to the federal government for help to come at least get them. And white landowners down South, particularly lobbied Republicans in power in Washington, the conservative administrations, not to do anything because they said if they did, you're probably going to exacerbate what was just beginning of that thing was a massive movement of black people from the rural agrarian society to the North where there were the jobs in the cities. And so the Republicans did not do anything. And for the first time, Republicans before that had a lot of support from black people because Abe Lincoln was a Republican. And Democrats, of course, were in power down South because they were Democrats because Abe Lincoln was a Republican. And as a result, you didn't see a lot of movement politically to do something about the plate of the black. The big change that occurred, started to occur, was under Roosevelt. Roosevelt being a very wealthy person did have a social conscience, as you know, so security came out of that to write to join a union and so on. He was really a progressive individual. But even better than Franklin was his wife, Eleanor. She had a great empathy for black people. And she went around and helped them organize and had empathy for them and sympathy. And had she been president, we would have seen a lot more movement, I think, on equality for black people, have movement against the South Jim Crow laws along before that. After Roosevelt of course was Harry Truman, Harry Truman did desegregate the military and I think it was 1947. So again, we're moving to fairly modern times. During the 50s, of course, Eisenhower wasn't a racist, but he didn't have, he had a Republican conservative Congress that has now moved over to being very much the white party. And as a result, you didn't see much in the way of laws. He had to send troops in to try to quell disturbances. But it wasn't until Kennedy and Bobby Kennedy, particularly, who started to anguish, what are we gonna do about this problem? This is a blemish on our society, on our, we need to do something. And so the plot started to boil and it culminated, of course, in when Johnson was president in the Civil Rights and Voting Rate Act of 64 and 65. Well, and this is one of the reasons why people have to be careful because the many individuals of the South would like to glorify some of the things that their leaders did, great battles, victories. And that's okay. You want historically factual information, but you don't wanna glorify somebody who has violated the law and has left the Union and has turned on their nation. You should understand historically that they were criminals and they were forgiven, but they certainly didn't return the favor they tried to regain. And that's understandable. That people that had power would like to get their power back, but they went to great lengths by either promoting different issues or Klu Klux Klan that we talked about last time, or just not allowing people to vote or to go to school or to get the kind of education that would have brought them up to equal standards as the nation tried to provide the South when they lost the war by giving them pretty good deals on the victory and the loss. Well, the post-war, post-Civil War South until fairly recent times was a very segregated, a very racist community. I mean, there were black communities that didn't have sewers, didn't have water. People lived in hovels, people didn't own land. They were tenant farmers working for white people at very, very poor wages. When they called the white trash or the white poor, they were in the same situation as many of the blacks. Sure. And oftentimes, as you're in the same status, you blame the other person for getting a job that you shouldn't. Well, sure. It's the black that got me in this poor situation, right?  So I personally couldn't live down South, unless you're in like a university town and maybe Atlanta, some of that's become very sophisticated, but there are a lot of racist places. I mean, it's bad enough up here in people, I deal with like, who are racists, but we still have that, it's a major problem in this country that isn't faced. Well, and talking about it and discussing the issue, and we are in the last program and this one in the next two, hopefully we'll be added to the 50,000 that just protested the Klan and others. Where was that in? Boston? Boston, I think, yes. And in Madison and other places, people have protested. We need to protest a little bit and we need to make sure that people understand the history and with that, thank you, Cal Potter, for joining this program. Until next week, this has been Legislative Update.


Hey guys, it's Nate, AKA The Foot Accountant. Welcome back to the channel. Another Friday inside of Festival of Football in FIFA 21, we are getting path to glory upgrades today. The first PTG upgrades are here today on this Friday. We'll talk about the potential for when those could happen because it really could happen at any time, what that could mean for the market, and as well as what's our content gonna be today on Friday. Now we've had a first two, a pretty good two weeks of Festival of Football with PTG team one and two. And I'm honestly remembering, this is kind of how last Friday felt as well. We kind of figured there was a team two coming for Festival of Football, Path to Glory, but we weren't 100% sure about it. And again, here we are on a Friday with not really a lot of hints, not really a lot of information to kind of look at and think that we really know what we're getting today content-wise in FIFA. And that makes me a little bit worried, right? Especially with these Weekend League Plus objectives that are live in the game for this Weekend League that is upcoming and starting today, because you guys know we've mentioned it, right? The Weekend League Plus objectives usually drop on a weekend where there's not a lot of content released on that Friday. So I really don't think EA would want to do this, but I guess if we had a non-tent Friday inside of the Festival of Football promo, I don't know, I really don't like that opinion or that option, but I guess that is kind of one of the things they could do today. I think it boils down to two different options in terms of the content today on FIFA. I don't want to talk about that as well, but first let's talk about the upgrades, right? Because you guys know we have got this path of upgrades here, three wins plus two overall upgrade. Now we've already got multiple nations that have hit that three win threshold and they're getting some plus twos today. The list is pretty solid, right? The list of players that are getting upgraded today are pretty solid. Firmino, Hazard, Wijnaldum, Militao. I think those are the players that are in the team number two that are getting upgraded today, of course. Firmino and Militao from Brazil, getting that late winner from Casamiro just a couple nights ago to maintain and to get that three win in margin. We are getting upgrades to Vinicius Jr. as well. Verate is getting upgraded. Delict is getting upgraded. Thorgan Hazard is getting upgraded, along with the SBC, not Verate, Florenzi. That card's gonna get upgraded today as well. Also, couple comments, right? Florenzi is transferring to Roma, but that is not going to be active until the 30th of January and also with Wijnaldum going to PSG. The transfer window is not open yet. So I do not think that when those cards get upgraded that they will change yet to their new teams because, again, that transfer window is not open. Those cards, even though they've signed agreements, they technically have not transferred yet. So I think what it would take is for Wijnaldum and Florenzi to change their team inside of FIFA, they would have to win that fourth game. Basically get a win inside of the round of 16. If they do get that win, then I think they would upgrade, get that plus one and EA would change their team on their foot ultimate team card. So that's kind of the little situation there. But today we're getting some of the plus twos, right? And just like with road to the final upgrades and even some of the headliner upgrades that we've seen in this last year of FIFA, it's probably going to be very random in terms of the timing of when they upgrade these cards today. One thing that we've always known is that Fridays at content drops really have never been like the focal point for EA to upgrade cards that are like live cards upgrading in the game. Fridays, if it's been a nighttime on Friday, right? That's when they used to update the road to the finals and stuff like that is the late Friday night timeframe into Saturday. And that's kind of what I'm expecting today, but it honestly could come at any time. Again, we know that it's going to be today as the upgrade day because of this official webpage from EA's website saying that after a path to glory item qualifies for the upgrade, the earliest the item will be upgraded is Friday. Upgrades might take up to 72 hours to appear in game. Of course, there's their disclaimer. But some point today on Friday, and I think it's going to be later in the day. That's my personal opinion. Unless EA is on top of things and they drop it right at the content drop today, which I guess could happen as well. But some point today, we are going to see these cards get some of their boosts. Hazard going to a 97. Now again, this card design that we've been talking about for the past few days, this one right here. I know it's a blurry picture, but this is a screenshot from the PlayStation website, which has now been updated. But this card design we're really curious about. Are they going to actually use this for an upgraded card for a PTG item? Or does this relate to summer stars? We were really thinking before that that card design related to summer stars. And that is one thing that I think people are hoping for today when people are mentioning a team of the group stage, right? People are mentioning, you know, like some man of the match item, some cards that, you know, represent what teams and what players have done well in the past couple of weeks of these competitions. I think we're really excited for those cards, especially to see what they look like, their ratings and stuff like that. I think we're really hoping for this today. I think that'd be the most fun thing, right? A team of the group stage slash summer stars. Now the PlayStation website has updated this picture because it did show this before with this card design. And as of right now, we have nothing added to the code telling us that that card design has been added to the game code. So again, right now, summer stars, team of the group stage, whatever you want to call it. It's not looking super likely yet. Could it come later today? Absolutely. We don't have a loading screen. We haven't had anything tweeted out or put on their Instagram from EA Sports. And that's again, what has me just a little bit cautious about today. A little, little, little bit cautious today about some of these cards on the game. Now let's take a little trip down this path and let's say that we are gonna get summer stars today on FIFA. We're gonna get some new cards and packs, which I hope EA does because I mean, they've been doing pretty well during the summer festival of foot summer promo that I want them to continue that. Right? Now this goes until July 16th. So if they were going to do some sort of team of the group stage or summer stars and start that, I think they'd do it now, right? I think it'd be a little bit too late to release another PTG team. I think a Path to Glory team three would not work. I have another idea of maybe re-releasing Path to Glory cards. We'll talk about that a little bit more as well. But if there are new packs added to the game, sorry, new cards added to the game today, they're going to be supplied like crazy with lightning rounds. Now if regardless of whether there are lightning rounds today, whatever is in packs, regardless of what's in packs, they are gonna get supplied a lot because people now know that the preview packs, they come in here every single day at 6 p.m. They open their packs, if they get anything good, they redeem it, they pay for it, if they don't, then they just go on their way, right? And that happens big time on Friday, Saturdays and Sundays with lightning rounds, as we've seen, because that is three different hours, actually four different times because you have the lightning round one, two and three, and then a reset with another pack coming in after that for the rest of the, to finish out that 24 hour period until Saturday at 6 p.m. And that's just so much supply, right? So that's the only thing that if we do have new cards in packs today, they're going to be supplied a lot right away on the market.  He started off at like a two million coin card, went down to a million coins. Everybody was like, oh my goodness, he's so cheap. And he was right compared to the team one of Path of Glory that was just crazy, crazy expensive. This guy was really cheap. He went all the way down from a million coins with the third lightning round to like 780, 790,000 coins. Then he rose back up to a million. So all I'm saying is it's gonna be similar fluctuations in price as last week with Path of Glory team two. If we were to get summer stars items today, that would be what I would expect from this market is a lot of supply right away. If there were new promo cards, you see them supplied on the market, they would get low. Then they would rise back up later as the supply stops and people want to use them in the weekend league. Now part of that is the French nationality players would have a lot more, I guess, demand if there aren't any of those dropped today. And that might also, since we have these weak and the plus objectives where a lot of the demand right now on this market is for French teams, that's gonna be a place on the market where we're looking today.  Cause who doesn't want extra player picks?  I love this actually for me as sports. We talked about it earlier in the week, big fan of them doing this cause it mixes it up. It adds some, you know, it just adds some flavor to the game. At this stage of the game, sure, do something like this, it's awesome, right? It's not like you're requiring everybody to use French cards, they don't have to, but if they want these extra player picks, they can. So that's why I'm a huge fan of this weak and the plus objective, again, I hope it just doesn't take content away from us because EA would want people focusing on that instead of the content on the menus. So hopefully we still get good stuff today in packs. But again, if there are summer stars items, they're gonna be supplied today. And even if we don't have like lighting rounds and promo packs, I feel like you're going to see maybe some of the SBC fodder drop off a little bit. Because again, just like it's been the past couple Fridays, a lot of these SBCs are expiring today at 6 p.m. Greelish, the Belgium Nation player, the Netherlands Nation player, Hattabor. Now you have some cards that you're still gonna stay out, right? The Scotland Nation players, they are out for another five days. That's how it was with the Swedish Nation players as well. Those were out for a while. Raketic is still gonna be out. And the Prime or Moments player pick is gonna be out as well. So you still have a couple lingering SBCs, if you will. But a lot of that SBC demand is going to go away because of what is expiring. And that, again, that makes me feel like we're gonna get something else today, like new. I really think we're getting something else new today with the SBC content and refreshing. That's my hope and that's my wish. But we will see if that does come true. Now let's talk about something else, right? Let's say if EA takes maybe more of the lazy route today, which I feel like we're getting to be towards the end slash done with Path to Glory cards because, again, two solid weeks of these cards being in packs with two different teams, could they go back today and release both sets one and two back into packs? Now, if they did that, some of these cards are so cheap already.  And it's especially gonna hit team one the most, right? Vinicius Jr., four million coins. If these guys were to be re-released in packs today, it would just destroy anybody who's been investing in these cards. And right now, if that is something EA wants to do, a lot of people have invested in these items, right? Millie Tau was up 40,000 coins. Firmino is up over 120K, Felix was 320, Hazard was 580, even some of these lower tier guys, Paredes was, I was getting him at 65,000 coins today, I got a Chilwell in the 60K range as well. So you're seeing a lot of these items really start to go up in price because people have invested in them, they're buying them for the potential upgrades that are coming today or maybe down the road a little more. So they could release these back into packs, but I really feel like if you're really gonna keep doing the pushing like the live cards EA, I don't know, I just feel like the live cards have to stop at some point with, if you're gonna release live cards for a promo, I think they have to stop at some point. So we will see if that is the case today as well. I just wanted to throw that out there as an option and as an opinion of what could be coming out today. Also, SBC and objective wise, I feel like we get some sort of SBC and objective player today. If it's not a new promo, maybe it's some sort of like, you know, End of an Era Rommels would be a great SBC they could drop today, EA Sports, if you did want to do that, that'd be awesome. We would love the End of an Era Rommels, just make them higher rated than this team of the year, make it an insane SBC, just juice it up, right? That would be a great SBC for them to drop today. I would love that. I think a lot of you guys would as well. So many people are looking forward to that SBC and in hopes that it does come. But if, you know, if there's, again, a lot of supply coming to the market today, a lot of your fodder is up, right? 83s, 3.9 to 4,000 coins. This might be an opportunity to cash out if we do have more lightning rounds coming today. Now, if we don't, obviously, these cards still might drop off, but they won't as much if there's not a lot of supply coming in, right? 85, 13,000 coins. I mean, if we take a look at the index, it's just like we've had every single other week this in the past few days. We see fodder get really high towards the middle to the end of the week, drop off over the weekend, and then come back up during the next week with the content that is released. So if you did want to have basically a little no risk investment payout and cash out here, I think some of your 83s to 87s, honestly, you could cash out on. I know that Icon Play-Up Big SBC is still out. I don't think it's good value. I don't know how many people are doing it, but that is some place where you could maybe look to cash out. Now, also, if they were to release an SBC today, keep an eye out on these team of this season items because some of these TOTS cards and informs were very expensive earlier today, but they didn't require them for the Big SBC, which was the PTG Guaranteed. 84 rated informs are 32K. They were 40K earlier today. Team of the season cards were around 50,000 coins a piece themselves. Now some of them are down. Wang is 35K, 40K. You can probably snipe some of these around a 30K range, which is not bad in my opinion. As long as E8 is not supply these, they're gonna continue to fluctuate a lot on the market and actually be a great place to trade with fluctuations because we've had one SBC that comes out that requires them. We have one SBC comes out that doesn't, right? And you have that kind of bounce back and forth with some demand, but with little supply and those cards are just continuing to get taken off the market. So we will see what EA has in store today. I feel like they have to supply those TOTS cards soon. I know right now they're saying, yo, we have a team of League SBC out, supplying team of League cards, but that, I don't think many people are interested in that because it's not an 81 plus SBC at the least. Now let's talk about market a little bit more. What's gonna happen to these Pat the Glory cards today when they do get upgraded? Since there's been a lot of investing involved, again, I'm a little scared on, especially the team two cards. And the reason why I'm scared for that is these cards have had supply for the entire last week of preview packs, all of the lightning rounds that happened with the preview packs that started to look like and then throughout this past week, every single day people are opening the previews, seeing if they get something good. And it's almost, if you look at these graphs, almost every single day this week, these Pat the Glory cards dropped off after 6 p.m. and then rose into the next day, but they've consistently kind of been going down, right? Now they're going up a little bit extra today because people know, hey, these are going out of packs. I'm trying to make this investment for a live card and especially one that could be getting upgraded, but I'm just a little bit worried that these cards are gonna be a little over invested. And the one thing that made me scared of that today was when the PTG Guaranteed came out. This was what happened with a lot of these cards in the first hour or two of them after that SBC came out. Like this Militao was 440K. He went down to 400 flat, rose back up to 430 with people investing in that item. He dropped back down to 410 and is now back to 440 getting kind of rare overnight. So I don't know, man, I just see, I feel like there's a lot of people that are investing in these for the potential upgrades and for people expecting them to rise once they get an upgrade. And the thing that's different about these cards from like the what if cards that were dropped earlier in the year, the thing that's different to me from these is that they still have more upgrades coming. Now with the what if cards, we saw a big drop off once these guys got their upgrades, but that was solely because they literally had no more upgrades, right? They got that upgrade and boom, it was a one and done, but it's different for these cards with the Path to Glory is because they still have more upgrades potentially coming based off of games that are coming in the future. So that's the thing with these cards making me wonder if there could be a bit of panic selling when these cards get their upgrade, but then a rebound later on, as of course that's selling stop. So maybe a drop and then a rebound depending on the content that comes out as well. But I do think to an extent, most of these cards will have a little bit of a dip at some point where there will be a lot of people that have invested that will try to cash out. Again, like this Joe Alphelix going from 315, 320K today back to 350. I mean, even some of these lower tier cards like Parades being a great linking option for League 1 links, which are probably being used a lot right now with the French weakening requirements. I know he's not French nationality, but linking a couple of those cards together from PSG, you know, maybe you're using Di Maria or Marquinhos as links to your other players that are in League 1 that are French. I see this card being one that is very valued but still could be a little bit over invested as Argentina are on two wins and could get their third pretty soon. So I'm a little bit worried of overinvestment especially on team two. Now team one is definitely more rare because they only had that one hour of the preview packs panic, but a lot of these guys are up a lot too. Verati 514, Urenta 800,000 coins. Griezmann went from 1.42 to 1.96. I sold mine too early at 1.7, made a big flip there. But I just think you're gonna see a little bit of panic on some of these cards today. And if the content is insane, then that might be a little bit more panic than before. But hopefully today we get some brand new cards, whatever shape and form they may be. If it's PTG cards, okay. Of course, if it's something new like summer stars that would be dope as well. I just hope that it's not an L day of content on this Friday. You know, I think sometimes after icon swaps EA has dropped not good content because they think that everybody's grinding swaps or and maybe grinding the weak and the plus objectives and they wanna make it about game play or whatever this weekend. They're trying to take a break or like pump back the content for a week. I just, I hope that doesn't happen because I wanna see new cards. It's just at that stage of the game where just keep pumping it out, EA sports. Just keep going, keep us on the game. The content this past week has been good the past two weeks with all the upgrade packs, the 82 times 10, 87 times three, those are fun, right? The NES though last week was a very, very good SBC. Bring us something like that today as well, right? So that's where our hopes are at for today on Friday. Now again, unless you see something on Twitter from Foot Watch about what could be coming with a new car design or with anything related to the summer stars, which again, this is the car design that we'll be looking for today. But maybe this is the car design they'll use for the cards that get upgraded. We will see, right? We're gonna find that out today. So there's gonna be a lot of finding out, I believe today inside of FIVA 21 with path to glory. So if you guys enjoyed this video smash thumbs up on a comment down below if you have any questions and subscribe if you're new. It's been Nathan Foot Account and I'll catch you guys later. Peace.


Hey everybody, Dr. O, in this video we're going to talk about the liver. So the liver is the largest visceral organ of your body, which basically means it's the largest organ organ or solid organ. Technically the largest organ in your body would be your skin. But the liver is very, very important. We can't cover the hundreds of functions that it has in any one video. So we're going to talk primarily about the classes of functions that it has, but let's take a look at where it is here. It's resting right under the diaphragm in the upper right quadrant, and it's kind of been picked up here so you can see the back a little bit. But you do see behind it would be the gallbladder, and we'll talk about why they're intimately connected. The liver does weigh generally about three pounds, such a large organ. Some people would say it only has two lobes, but we're going to say it has four. So it has a really large right lobe and then a smaller left lobe. But on the back you do have what are called the caudate and quadrate lobes. So I want you to know the liver does have four lobes, but there's some argument about that. The right lobe is the biggest part. So the liver is really cool. It can be generated right. It can actually give somebody a part of your liver, and it can regenerate. Very few structures can regenerate like the liver can, so something makes it kind of special. So we'll look at it histologically in just a moment here, but when I think of the liver, the first thing you should think of is liver cells. They're called hepatocytes, and we'll talk about some of the functions those cells would do. And then the liver, because it's a solid organ, would also have basically reticular tissue would be the packing peanuts that fill it in. But another term that's very important for you to know, what's called the functional unit of the liver is actually going to be a liver lobule, and I'll show you one of them in just a moment. So remember that the functional unit of the liver is a liver lobule. Let's just talk about big picture about its functions, and then we'll look at some of the blood supply and those types of things. The three main categories of functions that the liver has is metabolic regulation, hematological regulation, and then the production of bile, which is the easiest one, I guess.  They try the liver's job, one of its many jobs is to keep your blood sugar stable. So if you have high blood sugar, it can take glucose and store it as glycogen. If you have low blood sugar, it can convert glycogen back into glucose. It can create fat out of carbohydrates, something called de novo lipogenesis. So if your glycogen stores are full, the liver can take extra glucose and turn it into fat. As far as lipids, same things. It can synthesize fats. It can turn one type of fat into another type of fat, you know, monoinsaturated fats can be saturated, this types of things. And then as far as proteins goes, it obviously can ship proteins for use, et cetera, et cetera. Another metabolic function would be the storage of vitamins and minerals, and again, we're not covering them all here, but the liver is a mineral storage depots. It stores a lot of iron and other minerals. It also stores your fat-civil vitamins, A, D, E, and K, as well as B12. So we don't think about that, but B12 is a water-civil vitamin, but it is stored. A healthy liver should be able to store up to five years worth of B12. So that's just kind of interesting. This is why, you know, as far as from a nutrient density standpoint, organ meats are considered the most nutrient-dense foods on the planet, and the liver is going to be way, way up there because it stores the nutrients, and I'm not saying the human liver, but it stores nutrients. Other animals' livers do just the same. Then lastly, we have bile production. So when you think of bile, you probably do think of the gallbladder, but the gallbladder just stores and concentrates bile. The liver is actually where it's going to be produced. Okay, let's go ahead and take a look here. So when you think of the blood-spot of the liver, it's kind of backwards because most of the blood coming to the liver is going to be coming through veins, and that's because the hepatic artery does feed the liver to keep it alive and well, just like other arteries go and feed your organs, but you have to remember that a massive amount of blood that's entering the liver is venous blood on its way back from the small intestine. So the liver gets the first crack at almost everything absorbed from your gut, and we're talking about the entire gastrointestinal tract all the way down to the very distal large intestine rectaminatus. That's going to be absorbed differently, but as far as all the food you eat and things you drink, they're going to be, so things that are absorbed in the stomach, like ibuprofen, alcohol, these types of things, they're going to be taken to the liver, things absorbed from the small intestine, large intestine, you name it. So the liver gets the first crack at almost everything, and the reason I say that is because remember that long fats and fat-civil vitamins are absorbed into your lymphatic system first, so the liver wants to see what's coming in your gut. That way it can recognize pathogens, it can inactivate toxins, it can store what needs to be stored, et cetera, et cetera. So most of the blood flowing through your liver is going to be flowing through what are called portal veins, so that's going to be the key difference between most organs. You think most organs, most of the blood is coming arterial blood, but the hepatic artery takes care of the liver itself. The portal veins are all this material coming in through your gastrointestinal tract to be filtered and cleansed and dealt with by the liver. So the liver can also, liver stores a lot of stuff too, so if the liver needs to release anything, it'll dump it in the blood supply, and that's going to be carried back with your venous blood, your hepatic vein, to your inferior vena cava, to your heart, and then it's going to go wherever it needs to go. So you can make this more complicated if you want to, but I think that's the key thing to understand here. We've already talked about the hepatocytes being the key cell of the liver. Here you do see one of those lobules, which I call the functional unit of the liver. Primarily about 80% of the cells here would be hepatocytes, but there also are going to be cells that produce and transport bile. And then we do have the sinusoids here. So we mentioned these back a few chapters ago, really large, wide open capillary beds are called sinusoids. They're going to be lined by immune cells to make sure that things coming through shouldn't be bad. And if you hear any other terminology here, I guess the last thing I would say, as you can see it on the right hand side, a portal triad would be a branch of the hepatic artery, you see an arterial there, a branch of the portal vein, and one of these bile ducts would be what's called the portal triad. All right, so the function of bio, we talked about that, we can cover that more with the gallbladder as well. Why don't we actually go ahead and do that? This video is getting kind of long, and the gallbladder video is going to be shorter, so let me just cover the function of bile as far as emulsifying fats and et cetera, and we'll stay tuned for that in the video with the gallbladder. So I think that's plenty to know about the liver here for now. I hope this helps. Have a wonderful day. Be blessed.


USS Mason, DE-529, escorted convoys of merchant ships across the Atlantic Ocean during World War II. The destroyer escort was manned by mostly African American enlisted crew. Black sailors were restricted to service ratings like cooks and stewards. But this crew was permitted to train in combat ratings. Proud to serve and eager to fight, they protected convoys from German U-boats patrolling the Atlantic. In October 1944, Mason battled a new enemy, a severe North Atlantic storm. DE-529 had already escorted the most vulnerable ships of the convoy to safety in England when she lost communications with the fleet. The ship's deck split from the strain of the high seas and crushing waves. But instead of pulling into port for repairs, she returned to sea. The Mason crew repaired their ship as the storm raged on and rescued other ships in the convoy. Near Alfred Lynn, the convoy commander called DE-529 the Plucky Mason, Lynn recommended the crew for a letter of commendation, an honor they would not receive for more than 50 years. In 1994, the Navy awarded the letter of commendation to the surviving crew members of the Mason for their meritorious service and steadfast devotion to duty. In 1998, the Arleigh Burke class destroyer, DDG-87, USS Mason, was named to mark the contribution of the brave patriotic sailors of DE-529.


In original 60, no base to spell resistance. In original TBC, no base to spell resistance. Original Wrath, no base to spell resistance, right? Didn't exist. But in the patch between 60 and 70 Classic, right? 60 Classic and TBC Classic, right?   Never existed in the game before. It was all bugged and there's so many other bugs that they didn't fix. They just randomly decided to fix this bug and make the game worse for everyone and it's just persisted in the game, propagated all the way through that shit has now, right?  And now it's made its way into SOD.


The New Colombo Plan is a great opportunity for Australian undergraduate students to head overseas and study in the Indo-Pacific region and gain experience and real-life cultural skills. All undergraduate students aged between 18 and 28 are eligible to apply for a New Colombo Plan scholarship. Any Australian citizen who is studying at the University is eligible for the program. For example, myself. I came to Australia 10 years ago. Young people from diverse backgrounds have immense cultural knowledge and they can further develop this through the New Colombo Plan to help save Australia into the future.
