January 20 marks one year since the inauguration of Joe Biden as the President of the United States. Biden assumed office promising a drastic change from the policies of the Trump administration and welfare measures that would benefit the poor and working class of the country. A year later, this agenda is in dire peril and much of what was promised has not been delivered. How do we evaluate the performance of the Joe Biden administration in the past year? Eugene Purir of Breakthrough News explains. I think looking at Biden's first year, it seems very clear that he has totally failed to deliver almost any of his campaign promises, including the most core objectives that he was putting forward. So I think for the tens of millions of people who voted for Joe Biden, this has been a disappointment of a first year. Now, certainly there are many people who weren't expecting much like myself. But quite frankly, even for me, I have been surprised how little has happened. I mean, it's honestly amazing to think about how far we've come. I mean, of course, Joe Biden campaigned on and said that he was going to immediately through executive action, eliminate $10,000 worth of student debt. Not only has he not done that, but he has gone back and forth on whether or not to bring back in the student loan payments that had been paused during COVID-19 to try to prevent hardship amongst the millions of people who owe over a trillion dollars in student loans. So and in fact, even members of his own administration have essentially suggested that there should be no that under no circumstances, there'd be any forgiveness of any student loans. So not only has he not made that core promise, but it seems like he may actually go back on that. Certainly, we've seen this in the context of a range of expanded social programs that Biden had promoted campaign put forward. Also, just on the fact of a stimulus payment of $2,000, which of course was the rhetorical device that was used by Democrats to win the by election that took place in the Senate in Georgia in the January. So after the election had already taken place. And this was the final seat to give the Democrats the Senate majority, Biden, all the people in all the Democrats in Georgia, all the Democrats around the country that were showing up in Georgia say, we're going to send you a $2,000 check. Now they did send out a stimulus check, but it was for less money. And it was actually for a smaller number of people. And then of course, we saw the core agenda of Biden's build back better, that was bringing in expanded child tax credits, expanded community college, expanded access to a range of different things, a huge amount of funding for housing, all sorts of different pieces. This bill just completely expansion of healthcare, especially for the elderly and senior citizens. This bill totally collapsed. And now it seems like there's no option and no way forward, although there is some discussion about it moving forward, but essentially the core proposals of Biden and not really just Biden purely, but sort of the synthesis of what Biden brought together from the broader Democratic Party discourse. Of course, it was a very anti Trump campaign. Biden was trying to unite all of the Democrats and democratic leaning people against Trump and against the Republicans. He comes out with an agenda that's sort of a hodgepodge of different things that have been proposed by, you know, Bernie Sanders, Elizabeth Warren, Joe Biden himself, Pete Buttigieg, all of the different contenders that had been in the race at some point, so that it had some sort of unifying effects among Democrats by bringing in a lot of popular policies amongst them, totally failed, totally fell flat, despite all of the provisions being overwhelmingly popular. Most of them are super majorities amongst the population. And we also saw the infrastructure bill that's been a major issue. It's been talked about significantly by presidents since President Obama in 2012. There's been almost no movement. I mean, this is a country where bridges are constantly collapsing, where tens of millions of people are drinking poisoned water, where the public transportation systems in almost every major city in America are completely falling apart, many of them just grinding to a halt. And this infrastructure push that Biden had been promoting through is one of the main things Biden was promoting. We're going to do a big infrastructure bill. And in fact, it's the opposite of a big infrastructure bill. It's trillions of dollars less than what is needed to be spent to bring the infrastructure just back up to code, forget doing something new. And of course, this was another promise that was, you know, the bill was passed, but it was so watered down. You see the initial piece of it there. And in terms of foreign policy, what we have seen is basically a complete continuation of what we saw during the Trump administration. And of course, there is very little change administration to administration and foreign policy in the United States historically and contemporarily. So it's not as if anyone was expecting major change, but even in small areas, we have seen no change at all. Certainly when it comes to Israeli settlements in the West Bank, no change at all in the U.S. total support for that. No change at all for the U.S. embassy in which was moved to Jerusalem in a provocative move. No change at all. The attempt to completely encircle and strangle China and isolate China in a new Cold War type scenario, despite rhetoric that there is no new Cold War, they put billions and billions of dollars to put more bases and more weapons ringing around China. The expansion of regime change operations inside of the Horn of Africa. The attacks on governments all across the African continent by removing preferential access to U.S. markets based on them not having the right foreign policy views. So in so far as the United States believes it, the continuation of the intense strangle of the blockade on Cuba, which was intensified by Trump, that's been continued by Biden, the same thing in Venezuela. So we're actually seeing pretty much across the board, domestically, the things Biden said he was going to do, the things that were popular that he said he was going to do, many of the core elements of what the Democratic Party constituency thinks should happen, just did not happen, despite a majority of Democrats in both houses of Congress. We've seen on foreign policy that there's been basically no change. And so quite frankly, and especially when you look at the COVID situation, where Biden has essentially abdicated his responsibility despite campaigning on the fact he was going to get COVID under control, that there's been little to no change, and that most of the things that have happened have been ad hoc. Many of them have only happened because of aggressive push back against his lack of willingness to do them. And I think that we have to really look at the first year as really a year of inertia at best. A key plank of Joe Biden's campaign was his claim to be a bipartisan leader. Throughout the campaign, he portrayed himself as someone who could reach across the aisle and work with the opposition. A year later, this claim has been thoroughly discredited. The Republicans have refused to back any of Biden's key initiatives, and he has failed to even win the support of sections of the Democratic Party. How does Biden's promise of bipartisanship look today?   He was always touting, you know, this or that segregationist he was friendly with this or that right wing Republican he was friendly with. And he certainly does have a history of striking deals that benefit the right wing at the expense of the mass of people of the United States. But his sort of, you know, vaunted thing that he's going to be coming there and negotiate has totally fallen flat. Republicans have essentially just said, we're not going to do anything that you want us to do. And in the Democratic Senatorial Caucus, Biden can't even get a majority of Democrats to support the most basic democratic policies. I'm talking about things that are supported by like 90% of Democrats. And when you look at the states where the opposition is coming from, that are often supported by 50, 60, 70% of people regardless of political party, and Biden still can't get them to agree with his core agenda. That's to some degree, because they're not serving the people of their states. They're actually serving the ultra wealthy and the ultra elites of the United States of America, who certainly control the Senate and the politics. But nevertheless, it does just speak to the fact that not only were his abilities oversold, but the whole idea of bipartisanship is actually oversold and overpromised. Biden's history is not actually as a bipartisan person, quite frankly, by Biden's history is really is actually as a facilitator of the right word shift of the country, and really confirming that the Democrats were on board with a lot of right wing policies in the government. So he was not cobbling together difficult coalitions, but he was essentially confirming the general gist and the general tide of things that were going to happen anyway, and certainly without him. So I think it was always oversold. I think the idea of bipartisanship is also oversold. Many of the things that people consider to be great about America, many people were opposed to didn't always break down on party lines. But it's not as if there's ever been some, well, maybe in the 1800s, so-called era of good feeling. But there's never been really any sort of major period where this has been a major factor. But it's a lie that's told by the center, center right and the center left and the Republicans and the Democrats that, oh, well, what we really all need is to get along, that that's more important than any of the policies and any of the changes. That's what we're seeing in the conversation about the filibuster. I think it shows that Biden ultimately is a creature of the highly conservative, highly minoritarian US constitutional system that favors at best incremental change and does really it's the maximum to set up a situation where you cannot have significant change and Biden's not willing to break from that. And that's why his agenda is ultimately failing. Defenders of Biden's performance claim that the system is too skewed against the president and there is not much he could do under these circumstances. They point to the Republican obstruction in Congress as the main reason for the policy paralysis. However, was Biden really not in a position to do much this year? What could have been done differently? I do not buy this idea that structural things are holding him back primarily because he also has the ability of executive action. I mean, there is no doubt that the structure of the House and the Senate lends itself, especially the Senate to the power of minorities. There's just no doubt about that at all. Now, what I will say is Biden essentially empowered that because in the context of the Democratic primary campaign, this came up many, many times with people saying, well, how are you going to do anything if you if there's people in the Democratic Party who may not support you, which of course was something that could sort of be foreseen may take place. And Biden was always the one saying, we don't need to get rid of the filibuster. We don't need to do anything. So he didn't do anything to sort of seed the ideological ground coming in and to build the support coming in. But let's just say he did. Let's just say all that. Yes, it is possible for a handful of people to hold up quite a bit in the Senate. There's no doubt. Now, whether or not he's put all the pressure he can on them as a whole other issue, I do not think he has. But here's the bigger issue. In the context of gridlock in Congress, easily Biden could have moved on a number of executive priorities that he failed to do. The he could have actually wiped out all federal student debt. This is legal. It's well known. There's a secret memo that we everyone feels strongly does say that from the Biden administration, which is why they haven't released it. But at the very least, he could have done the $10,000. There's a range of things he could have done around, say the war on drugs in order to change how different agencies are operating, to de-schedule marijuana, to end a lot of the sort of petty drug arrest and potentially let a number of people out of prison to approach and address the issue of how the federal Bureau of Prisons is doing different things to let more people out of prison vis-a-vis different elements. We could have addressed mass incarceration more significantly there as well. I think we can see on the budget fronts. I mean, many of the things that he did, he did not have to do. So the defense budget and other pieces like that, that did pass where he was, you know, essentially just facilitating a number of terrible things that of course he could have put a marker on. I think when you look at the issue of COVID-19, you know, we have not seen an aggressive use of the Defense Production Act, which is executive power to ramp up the infrastructure surrounding trying to fight and push back against COVID-19. He has not used march-in rights to reduce the cost of prescription drugs, which could be done around COVID-19, and many other drugs to reduce the price of prescription drugs right away. There are also other agreements that could have released the patents to avoid all these variants by having more vaccines around the world. All that could have been done with executive action without a doubt. And there are many, many more things that could be done on this front that he just has failed to do quite frankly in terms of the context of what his actual powers outside of Congress are. So whatever the extent is of the gridlock in Congress, whatever you can say that he didn't do about that, there are many things that he did not do, many things that he promised to do, that he didn't need any support at all from Congress to take care of, that he has in fact not done and not pushed and not moved forward in a way that I think is significant and relevant.  Well, why didn't Biden go? I mean, he claimed to be the most, he says he's a great union guy and unions are good for America. When striketober is happening and sweeping the country, Biden had nothing to say against these major employers. He didn't speak out. He didn't try to inspire social movements of workers coming together. So I think both from the bully pulpit perspective, from the congressional perspective and from the executive action perspective, Biden obviously could have done significantly more, but he himself does not want to. He's a relatively conservative Democrat. And as much as people say, Biden can't do XYZ, I think he's very happy, in my view, to be in a number of these conundrums, because it makes it very easy for him to say, well, I'm for it. But what can I do? It's just a structure of the thing. And I definitely feel that there's a lot of that going on and more that could be left on the table that just isn't taking place.


Hi everyone, I'm Bron Stuckey, International Liaison for the Quest at Learners Programme and a consultant researcher in games learning and virtual worlds. There are two things that excite me about games like Quest at Learners as part of the 21st century learning agenda. The first of those is the opportunity for transformational play. Transformational play involves children coming in to solve authentic problems and taking on the knowledge and practices of a domain to do that. So for instance, in our water quality park, the Tiger, children don't come in as a grade 7 student but as a water quality scientist and they have to take on the practices of the field to solve the problems in the world and they go out and learn what they need to know to help solve the problem. At the conclusion of their research they will make a decision and that decision then will have repercussions in the virtual world. So the learning not only transforms the virtual world but we hope transforms the students as they understand how knowledge is used and how learning benefits our real world. The second thing that excites me is the possibility for participatory design and that's giving the reins for learning over to the kids, allowing children to design their own spaces, their own games and their own practices. So for instance, we have what we call the Student Congress in Quest at Learners which is a space designed, developed and managed by children and they've designed all the games and missions and activities and chosen what's important for kids to know about in those spaces. And we see children going way beyond our expectations in terms of their abilities as they choose what it is they want to learn. So for instance, some small 10 year old students wanted to know how to render their own objects in the virtual world. They discovered they needed to use a program called Blender and then to use that they would need to know Python programming. So they found someone else in the student world and they now are teaching themselves how to program in Python to that end. So this is the kind of thing that I think is really exciting when teachers can almost just get out of the way and let the kids take over some aspects of their own learning. It's sure to please. Thank you. Custom Antics is an online virtual world game for the children all across the world. If you'd like to join this program and any of the activities that you see today, you're welcome to jump into our website and get yourself an educational account and begin exploring the program. You will need to train in how to use the program and as soon as your students have leveled up to the level that we're going to see today, all two will be able to join in the Student Congress activity. So loads of fun to be had in this total free program for school. So get in there and be part of it. Now let's meet some of the students who are part of our current Congress. These are our innovators, our first leaders in the program, the children who broke the ground for those that were followed. And they certainly have been having a lot of fun. I have always loved question practice for its well-developed way of teaching through virtual world. When an opportunity arose to help create a 100% student-made mission, I jumped on board. At first, I thought it was just about fun when seeing the group of students who actually make a mission in the free virtual world. But slowly, everyone in the group began to understand this was not something just done for fun. The lessons we learned to create a healthy lifestyle became part of us. We created bike tracks, swimming pools, rooftop gardens, and a party food restaurant, all in question practice. It was a dream come true. We just heard from David, one of our leaders in the Student Congress, and he's certainly been a delight to work with him. He's in Canada and I'm in Australia. David's work has also taken him to a TEDx talk where he explains other virtues he's found in West Atlanta. And I think you'll find his talk really exciting if you take the time to go on with it. He's representative of the caliber of kids we have in our program. And on screen now, you'll see what the amazing Catholic who worked with students in Florida to create a mission related to global warming. And we'll see a little bit more of that later. I'm Team K71 and I'm at Team K71. We are brothers. We were part of a team in Student Congress. We had a lot of fun building and learning about healthy communities. We are glad we had the chance to work in Student Congress and learn how to make a mission. It was not easy, but it was a lot of fun. Thanks, Bron and our teacher, G Holden, and Quest Atlantis for letting us do this. On Quest Atlantis, I am Team K71. And I am part of the Student Congress build. I enjoyed being a part of the team. And it was fun building the dance floor and learning how to make the mission. Some of the stuff I'd like to show you are the rock climbing wall and also the dance floor. We'll get to the dance floor in a minute. It's actually pretty hard to get up this rock climbing wall. Certain sides make it harder. Woohoo, I made it. One of the other things I'd like to show you is the dance floor. It was really fun making the dance floor. This is one of the things I wanted to show you because we made people singing and dancing over here. And up there, there's a skydiving platform. You can use different dances and put on songs as well. All right, now another thing I would like to show you is up here there's an area where you can get all the plants and food and stuff for the chef. And over now, what I wanted to show you also was I made two birds on a stand. And my brother also made one. One of them is just a thing for a treasure hunt. And one of them is a mover. All right, see, it's a mover. I also wanted to show you that there are also some movers that are horses, cats, bicycles for this, and dogs, cats, and tabcats for walking. Me and my brother made little houses down underneath the ground. That is my brother's house. And this is my house. And the mover I have here, actually, well, when it works, it has a helmet on your guy's head. But apparently it's not working that well right now. Oh, this one is. Oh, that's why. It's ready. There we go. Yep, it works now.  And then I can race around the world with the motorbike. I'm glad that Bron was able to get us to go in here. And I'm glad I had the opportunity to be able to do this. And if Bron's listening to this, thank you, Bron. Hello, I am Esmaquia71. And I'm going to show you one of my favorite parts of the build. I've worked on healthy communities. It's at the very top of the mountain. Here is one of my favorite parts of the build. We've got mover bicycles that you can ride and horses, even a cat. There's a track you can ride your bike on. Like this is the track there. This part I made a little bit of. I also made another part, which there's a big sign there. It's a pool. You can jump in the small end or the deep end. There's a high dive board.  This is a garden at the top of our building. And here is one of the entrances. I'll go to the front entrance to make it easy. So here's the building. I enjoyed being part of the building team. I had a lot of fun building this place with the other kids. Here's the restaurant.  Zulu and Officer Rob, Officer Tiffany, Officer Isaac, and Officer Rick.  All eating a healthy food.  The dance floor. The dance floor is really fun. If you click one of the buttons, these are the song buttons. And these are the dance buttons. This is my favorite dance. Now I'll show you how we get back to the garden. And here's the garden. Oh, hey. I think that's my parrot. I go invisible when I'm on him, so I'm just a parrot. I'm really glad that Bron asked us to be part of the building team. I had a lot of fun. What you've just seen is totally built by the students. In their small teams, each taking on a topic related to one of the social commitments of Questalantis. So Healthy Communities was one of those. And the boys built a mission that takes you through understanding why healthy eating is important and why physical activity, exercise, fresh air, and being out in the world is also healthy for all of us. They focused quite a bit on the dance floor because we held a party to host our very first opening of the Student Congress. Because remember, students have to level up to get an account in this space and to be able to be part of the world. And so we hosted a party, and lots of other students came in for a sneak peek of what this world was like. So the dance floor was pretty important in being able to jump in and join in. Lots and lots of fun activity was a great hawk to get other kids to want to be part of the Student Congress. Other missions were built in the world related to different topics. So for instance, here we see the First Nations Medicine Wheel, which was part of a build related to diversity. And this building is an expo on four levels with amazing resources related to all different kinds of diversity. And we have a world related to global warming. And we learned the story of global warming through the plight of the polar bear and her cub. And so positioned in an area where we can see pollution is somewhat of a problem, children go through an exercise to learn about those issues. We also have a group that worked on what they called the House of Passions, which was a space devoted to children having a say about things they cared about. So speaking up against bullying, against patriot or prejudice of any form, and that was a really beautiful space. We certainly hope 2013 is going to be a very big year for our Student Congress, as new kids bring their proposals for projects to the world. Thank you to all the children who have been part of this, and I hope you understand what fantastic expertise they brought and how much we spend our time just getting out of the way and supporting them.


Hello there everyone and welcome. This is Alyssa Armo with the stocks. What should I review in INTC? This was the stocks was show play of the day today.

I'm not ashamed to admit that it's taken me a long time to figure out the best way to study for me. And I think this is the case for a lot of us. We spend most of our academic career steadily optimizing our study routine to what eventually works for us best. I just wish that I'd known about these things that would actually help me sooner. Building strong habits is one of the ways that we can be more productive in our lives. The trouble is that it's really hard to form habits and actually stick to them. Knowing how to do this is key, but even more so is knowing which habits you want to try and form in the first place. In the past, I've stuck to studying habits for lots of reasons and a lot of them weren't because they were the best habits to stick to. We've all done this, you know, sometimes we follow how our friends are studying even if it's not ideal for us or we might even do things like revising topics that we already know because it makes us feel good. There's all kinds of habits that we do for the wrong reasons. It can take a lot of time to figure out which habits you want to stick to when it comes to studying.  You might not know this, but medical schools are notorious for examining students in completely different ways. One university might want you to learn the anatomy of the whole body in your first year, but in less detail than another university which might want you to learn every aspect of the upper body in your first year. Some universities like to test students in completely different ways than others. We've got multiple choice questions, short answers, full on essays and everything in between. Some are more clinically applied and some are more theory based. The list goes on. All of this is important to remember because ideally you want to tailor your own studying strategy to the specific exam questions and content that are being taught at your university on the course that you're on. This of course helps us score as best as we can. Now one way to do this is to be guided by pass paper questions. Instead of learning all of the material from the lectures, the tutorials, etc. and then using pass paper questions in the last couple of weeks to figure out what your exam is going to look like, it's a good habit to get into to check what your pass paper questions look like early on in your studying. Looking at them will not only show you what the questions are going to be like, but more importantly it shows you the patterns of the types of content and questions that are going to be asked. This means that you can start to tailor your revision by spending more time on those high yield topics that your professors and your university love to ask you on. If you can get to the point where you have a clear understanding of the things your school want you to know and how they're going to test you from pass paper exams, then you're setting yourself up for success. It's always a good habit to get into early on whatever the course is that you're doing. Studies done by employers show that their employees are 50% more satisfied when they're working with others and the quality of the work produced increases as well. I really believe this is similar when it comes to studying for exams. It's really beneficial to work with other people. It's so tempting not to make the effort and to decide that you're going to follow your own timetable and that you don't want to be potentially distracted by others, but honestly there's so much benefit from working with other students. You're in a supportive environment and this usually leads to feeling more empowered to do your own best work and being with friends means that you're fully engaged in the tasks that's in front of you because you're all working on the same thing at the same time. On top of that, the feeling of working towards a common goal with a group is a really good one and it helps to push you and keep you going sometimes even when you might be finding studying very hard. It also helps you get that start initially, which a lot of people have difficulty with because if you're all there forcing yourself to start, you're going to start. If you guys haven't heard, I actually have a Patreon which includes access to a Discord server that has live study with me sessions happening every day. It's such a great community of other students working towards their goals, encouraging each other and just working all together. It's honestly such a lovely community that I'm in every single day talking to, replying to comments, reading on what you guys are up to and doing. If you're interested in joining my Patreon and joining the Discord server, please do check out the link in the description down below. I'm under a ton and I'd love to chat with you guys and get to know you a little bit more personally over there. Another great thing about group studying is that you can get real time feedback from your friends and they can share all the resources that they have or have created with you so that you're really setting yourself up for success. There's definitely something that we can learn from everyone around us and we really see this when you work in a group with other people around you. There have been so many things about exams and the content being taught in medical school that I've only learned from speaking to other friends on the course. Such a large part of my success in my oski exams to practical exams here in medical school is simply because I spent the time practicing with other people. So if this is something that you're traditionally against and you haven't tried before, please do give it a chance. I honestly think that it's very, very helpful. It's so important to use every resource you have available when it comes to studying for exams. One thing that people often forget about is that older years at your university or college have gone through exactly what it is that you're doing right now, just a year or two before. They can give you tips on how to get ready for these exams, how to manage stress and what techniques to use and they can also provide you with resources, their own notes, you know, good stunning resources, past paper questions, whatever. You can also use the mistakes that they've made as lessons going forward and they'll probably have really good insights on what is going on at your school and they're likely to understand what they test on, what's the high yield material, etc. If you ask me now as a final year medical student versus in my first year, you know, what kind of things should I focus on and how much effort should I put into studying for exams? I have a really good idea now, which I didn't necessarily have back in first or second year. And a lot of university also have societies where older years share their resources, their notes, their past paper exam questions and they offer tutorials, peer to peer teaching and learning, etc. It's really useful to get involved in those things as well. It helps you feel like you're not going into your exams completely clueless if you know how other students have found those exams and studied for them the years before. It means that you're going in as prepared as you can. One of the things that I think people worry about with using a method like this is approaching the older years and asking them for resources or about their experiences. Honestly, nine times out of 10, anyone who you talk to or message is going to be more than willing to help. They really want to help pass on their knowledge and their information to the younger years that you could, they can help you and make sure that you're successful as possible. I found that joining your medical school societies or asking about tutorials and peer to peer learning from older year students is a good way to kind of get that in to meet those people, build relationships with them and then ask them for the information or the help that you need when the time comes. Joining WhatsApp groups or Facebook groups and things like that is also a really good way to get into those circles. Don't be afraid to reach out and talk to the older years. I promise 90% of them just want to help. For years, I hand wrote my notes and that's something that I completely stopped when I got to my fourth year of medical school just because it became unsustainable. You can check out this video over here, which talks all about that. Now handwriting notes can be a good way to stay active during your lectures, but all of the evidence on studying tells us that note taking is one of the least efficient ways to retain and recall information for exams. In my clinical years, I focused on active recall through answering questions and looking up the information I didn't know whenever I couldn't answer those questions. If your current or main method of studying is just taking notes, it's okay. I get you, I did that for a really long time and it can be a strategy that works. It just takes a lot of time and effort and isn't the best way to be doing things according to the research and my own personal anecdotal experience. Now changing your study method that you've had for such a long period of time can be really, really difficult. The reason that I didn't stop handwriting my notes sooner was because I was worried that if I did change, then in my upcoming exams, I wouldn't do as well. It might take me a while to get used to my new note taking habit and there was no guarantee that it would work better than what I'm currently doing right now. I didn't want to take that risk and by doing that, I wasn't really trusting the evidence that showed that doing questions from day one or earlier on and increasing the amount of active recall you were doing was the better and more efficient way to study. All I would say is just consider trying something new and you can always see if it works better or it doesn't and you can go back but there's a good chance that if you're just handwriting notes, there's probably a better and more efficient way of studying that will help you save time, help you remember information better and hopefully perform better on your exams as well. One point which really emphasized to me, you know, the whole handwritten notes thing isn't the best way to study was thinking about how often I revisit my handwritten notes to take a look at them and the answer to that was absolutely never and the reason for that was because they're just so difficult to find the specific information that you want at a glance when you need it quickly. Whereas with digital note taking, you know, electronic notes, you can just control F any word you want into your huge expansive notes and documents that you have and so that made it a lot easier and more common and frequent for me to go back to old notes that I'd written making them actually useful instead of just a one-time thing that I wrote to study for an exam and then forgot about. It's worth exploring other options before you just stick to the root of going down endlessly writing handwritten notes. I mentioned in the previous point that I was handwriting my notes for the longest time because I was worried to change my study method even though I knew it probably wasn't working as efficiently as it should be. I think it would have been a good idea to review my studying methods much sooner and more often than I did. I think that it's so worth taking the time out to really think about whether your current study methods are actually working for you in the best way or if you're just continuing on with them because they've worked in the past and you're worried about changing them going forward. For the longest time I was just on autopilot, tending lecture, writing handwritten notes, listening to the lecture, writing handwritten notes and that was it and I didn't really think about whether this was a good strategy or not. I knew a lot of other people were being directed by past paper questions, were using anky flashcards or whatever but I thought you know this the method that I have it works for me why change it and it took me up to my fourth year of medical school to realize that there was a much much better way of studying than what I had been used to all of this time and so I wish I had kind of taken a second to just think about it a little bit earlier review my own techniques and make a change. I've tried using so many electronic or digital tasks and to-do list apps but I just never engage with them the same way that I do when I just use a simple pen and paper or post-it note. I find it so useful having these lists right here on my desk that I can look at every day when I'm sitting typing and doing things on my desk they're right here in front of me and I can't miss them. Spending the five minutes that it takes to think of my list and reflect on what it is that I need to do for the day is very very helpful. On top of that there's something really satisfying about just taking your pen and crossing off something on your to-do list or taking it off and seeing and knowing that it's done. I see this list on my desk throughout the day every day and it keeps me accountable because I can see it and look at it and it reminds me of what I need to do. If you've got a digital to-do list or app and you're not looking at it as often as you'd like or it's not serving its purpose as much as you think it should then I highly recommend that you just ditch it and go back to a traditional pen and paper. Ultimately though whether you use a digital to-do list or app or you use pen and paper it doesn't matter it's all about what works for you so check which one you find more helpful and which one keeps you accountable and use that one. It's so easy to get lost in the thought that you hate this particular module that you're having to study and you can't really see the point of getting it done and you know what's beyond that. I think it's important to remember that that particular module is just a step towards the wider goal that you might have going forward. I think being clear about your goals and using them to motivate you instead of you know being tunnel-visioned on directly what's in front of you right now can really help with motivation and studying over a long period of time. If you can reflect on what it is you want and why you're doing the thing that you're doing in the first place then I think you'll feel like you've gone a long way in terms of reframing the tasks that you've set for yourself for that day or for that week or whatever. One thing that you can do to help is to keep a visual reminder on your desk or somewhere in your room that you can glance at a couple of times a day or once a day to kind of remind you of the bigger purpose that you're doing. In the case of medical school you know this could be a stethoscope or a photograph of before you got into medical school maybe the day you got accepted and how happy you were that day or something along those lines just something to help you remember how far you've come and you know where you've always wanted to be. I forget where this quote is from but it's something a longer reminder of you're currently living the life that you used to dream about when you were younger you know so thinking about it in that perspective kind of helps put the day-to-day struggles into context. For me you know university was never about being the best in any particular topic like molecular biology or anatomy or anything like that it's always been about becoming a competent doctor one that patients can feel that they actually trust when they see and feel comfortable and confident around and even wider than that it's always been about helping people and contributing something positive or good to the world as cheesy as that sounds which is something that I've always tried to do with this youtube channel as well you know contribute value to people's lives in some way shape or form which have hopefully been able to accomplish and back to the theme that we were talking about before having this silver plaque here on my wall that I can see pretty much every day when I'm on my desk helps remind me of sort of the impact that I've had the work that I've done and helps keep me motivated and going with creating videos just like this so yeah think about you know why you're doing the thing that you're doing in the first place what got you started where you were and how far you've come and it just helps motivate you and keep things in perspective those are just some of the habits that I wish I had learned sooner and ones that I've kind of accumulated over what has now been nine years of university I'm hoping that sharing them will mean that you guys don't have to spend so many years as I did without them and that you can start incorporating them into your own life and into your own studying as soon as possible if you guys have any studying habits that have personally changed your life or made a big or significant impact on you then please do share them in the comments down below and that is it from me I'll catch you in the next one space those are just some of the habits that I wish I'd known sooner and that I've actually learned along the way of what has now been over nine years of


are now at war. There are but two alternatives, total victory or total defeat. There can be no such thing as a military stalemate that would result in the survival of Hitler's business. That is the opinion of a man who knows. Douglas Miller, for 15 years, can make an attaché to the American Embassy in Berlin. Presenting a radio series and titles, you can't do business with Hitler. Episode 11, what's the case over the equator? Douglas Miller speaking. Today we hear a great deal of discussion about the possibilities of a German invasion force based on Descartes and Africa crossing a relatively narrow strip of 1800 miles of the Atlantic Ocean and attacking Brazil. We must be alert to this possibility, but we should be even more alert to the fact that Germany already has an army in South America. Unbelievable? Not at all. Take Mexico, for example. In the spring of 1940, Baron von Bacher Bacher of the German Gestapo arrived in Mexico City and was met by Arthur Dietrich, the 40th Nazi fifth column. The two men entered an automobile and drove some miles out of Mexico City to a certain rural community where, you find Alfred, a distant friend here in Japan, Baron. Do you mean your work with the German residents? Yes, it's space to be with the German residents. Here it is all that in American countries. These Germans are concentrated in our own German community. A round strategic force? Strategic force, yes. Army pirates, main tyrants, operands, railroad, oil wells, etc. The group which are located there is located in the neighborhood of the power plant, which decides all the electric power for the captain. How inconvenient it would be for the Mexicans in case of invasion if this power plant were suddenly seized or blown up, eh, Dietrich? Right, I think. Why, this is a desert road. I don't understand. Baron is now one limited officer. Right, I think on the RR, you will see an army past this point. A German half. A German half here in Mexico? Yes. A few seconds. A look. A few seconds there. A tsunami. Barsch to go on, and B 그림s to go on. Everything! Nothing in review for your benefits, sir. I think we are now in good health to produce the votes. Hey, Lieutenant, I am Hitler! Under 10. There must be 500 of them. By 110, yes sir. The assignment site is all over Mexico. Ten minutes. How can you just place a... Sink. Without running into trouble with your target. We never could in Norway, to the authorities about it, to see a hiking club, but it didn't go through the peak. Normally we don't wear the uniform, or what it is, not lately anyway. If you have a hardware, there is no law against it, something you understand. Therefore, we have a hunting club. Very good. Very good. And we pay for all the German businessmen here in Mexico, and your headquarters. Cool houses. We have our own German school here. What is the Nazi party called here? The Amstrup of Mexico. But our activities have been made with what we call the German popular community, a group with activities absolutely, social and recreational. Social and recreation. Yeah. You mean like, hunting and hiking. That's a campus going around your shoulder. That is another of our recreational activities. Amateur photography. We have the marvelous pictures of parrots, rail terminals, arsenals, cotton placements and the like. Just a hobby, you understand? Yes. A hobby. Yes. Like hiking clubs and hiking clubs. Of course. Marvellous hobby. So you see, Germany has an army in Mexico, and the organization there is duplicated almost precisely in every country of South and Central America. You want proof? Read John Gunther's authoritative book, Inside Latin America. He pages 110, 111 and 112. Remember, there are millions of Germans living in South America. They have been there for years. In Brazil alone, there are 830,000 Germans. In the relatively little country of Paraguay, there are at least 18,000. Hitler has already made a number of attempts to seize control of various South American countries. Attempts that many times came within a hair breadth have succeeded. Consider the Nazi push in Bolivia. In July of 1941, a certain letter from Berlin addressed to Ernst Wendler, the German minister for Bolivia, fell into the hands of Bolivian authority. A young officer in the Bolivian army took the letter to his friend. Calling? A matter of pleasure, Mr. Senor Senor. May I speak with you? Of course, Mr. Senor. Thank you, Mr. Senor. This letter, will you read it to me? Is it addressed to me? No, it fell into our hands quite by accident. It is addressed to Ernst Wendler, the German minister. Who is he from? Major Ali Estremonti, our military officer in Berlin. No, Mr. Senor. Please, Mr. Senor. Wait, please, Mr. Senor. Please, Mr. Senor. Very well done. Let's meet soon. Mr. Senor Ernst Wendler, our local German minister to Bolivia. We have received all the maps showing the most favorable sites for landing. Landing? Landing what? Toilet, Mr. Senor. Invaders!  Let me read further. See, everything will be changed when we assume power. We assume power. Who is he? The Nazi. The Nazi. See? Lieutenant, can you vouch for the signature here? I have checked with experts, Mr. Senor. That is met with a multi-signature. Please continue. Mr. Senor, I would like to present a few examples of the most favorable sites for landing. I would like to present a few examples of the most favorable sites for landing. First, we take Bolivia and then other countries on the Yankee influence. And then other nations will follow us and under this guidance to the supreme leader, we will save the future of South America and start a new era of order and work. I would like to present a few examples of the most favorable sites for landing. First, we take Bolivia and then other countries on the Yankee influence. And then other nations will follow us and under this guidance to the supreme leader, we will save the future of South America and start a new era of order and work. And then other nations will follow us and under this guidance to the supreme leader, we will save the future of South America and start a new era of order and work. If you see the letter yourself in cold print, get a copy of the New York Times for July 24, 1941. Turn to page 4. If the Bolivians haven't luckily discovered the letter in time, the Nazis might very well have a puppet government in Bolivia today. And what about the Nazi-inspired revolt in Argentina? In the summer of 1940, at the Waterfront in Buenos Aires, a number of longshoremen were unloading crates when... You, Manuel, take it easy on the steps. Don't drop those crates. Eh, do not worry, Pedro. Manuel never drops nothing. You better not. Those are fruits in that crate. Caramba! Am I stupid? Do not I know it? Furthermore, those crates are for swathes, mine-hammering companies. You know what those Germans are about the damaged fruits.  I am not going to drop those crates! Hey, hey, hey! Hey, hey, hey! Caramba! I was scared for what I fell down the stairs. Did I put these stairs there? No. You do not blame me. Blame the only group who put the stairs there. Manuel, you are a friend. You are despicable. You are no longer an employee. Look at that face. Look at this face. Look at those rifles all over the street. Those rifles with... What's this? What are the rifles doing in this crate? Pedro, you are wrong, eh. You cannot ring, eh. You said they were brutal. Santa Maria. Rifles, please. Rifles with what mine-hammering companies? Manuel, you know what I think we do? No, Pedro. What we do? I think we guard the streets. Not hard to believe that Germany was smuggling arms into Argentina, is it? But if you want to, see the New York Times for June 23, 1940. So many incidents of this type occurred in Argentina that the Argentina Congress started an investigation of Nazi affairs. At the height of the investigation in September of 1941, the Argentina police and armies suddenly swung into action to quell and Nazi-inspired revolts. Nazis were arrested. Airports were seized by government sources as a protective measure. The German ambassador, Bonn-German, was accused of fostering the revolts. Argentinian reporters interviewed him at the German embassy. Why are we not after my question? Please, please, please, gentlemen, one last time. Senor Thurman, is it true that there are some 60,000 German strong groupers in Brazil? Of course, that's just ridiculous. So what about the evidence? Call it by the government, Senor Thurman. Is the evidence just fully enforced? Isn't it? Is it true, Senor Thurman, that the German embassy offered bribe to officers of the Argentine army? That is nothing but lying against propaganda. So what about this watch, which seems to control the government, Senor Thurman? That's what you said it there once. So how about this watch, that your embassy spends ten times as much money in Argentina as does the United States embassy? And that's good enough. But that's the fact that he's really proven it, Senor Thurman. Well, I, uh... You, what are you doing?  Uh, no, what the noise? Wait, come right here. Get our bags, bags. He was going to stay much longer in Argentina. Baron von Bermann, the German ambassador, was really on the spot. 30 leading Germans were arrested. Great crowds marched in Buenos Aires, doubting Viva de Monteser and down with the dictators. Said Raul de Montes for border, head of the Congressional Committee, investigating anti-Argentina activities, now proved that 500,000 Nazi soldiers were organized throughout South America. 60,000 of them in Argentina alone. A complete account of Raul the Argentina government smashed the Nazi plot is in John Gunther's books Inside Latin America. He paid 310. We can be quite sure that most of the South American governments have taken steps to keep the Germans sub-columnists under control. But South America's first line of dissent is the Atlantic Ocean, and the eastern front were the Soviet-Pole Hitler Infection. That is why we must throw our full aid to Russia and England to keep Hitler bottled up on the continent of Europe. Or if England and Russia fall, Hitler will turn his full attention to South America. What will happen then? The answer lies in the words of Adolf Hitler himself reported by Hermann Rausnig on page 61 of his book The Voice of Destruction. He shall create a new Germany in South America. That's confident cause for a capable master. With the precious of his soil, Germany will be rich and great. There we shall find everything we need. You can't do business with Hitler. You have been listening to episode 11 in a series entitled You Can't Do Business with Hitler.

Recognizing where a story comes from, what the origin story of that story is, can be very interesting, but most of the time it doesn't change anything at all, just because you do a lot of work at a lot of rumination and chatteling, and you find out why you're afraid of dogs. You suddenly have this epiphany, it's like, oh yeah, when I was five years old, I got bitten by the neighbor's dog, that's why I'm so afraid of dogs. Finally, I found it out. I know what the reason is, you're still afraid of dogs. It still requires the work that needs to be put in, moving on from here and out on the new pages in the life story, on the blank pages, saying, no, you know what, my significant other has a dog. It's very important for me to spend quality time with that person, and for that I need to get over my fear with dogs, and it's going to look like this and this and this. I'm going to pet the dog, I'm going to get close to the dog, maybe I walk the dog by myself, but it starts with changing the behavior that we bring out into the world. It's such an important point that oftentimes it doesn't require you to think through what is the behavior change, it just feels good in the moment to recognize the pattern, aha, this is why I'm afraid of dogs. But what's going to happen tomorrow? What's going to happen the day after? You are faced with a choice point, a decision to be made how your future behavior is going to go once you recognize that self story. So super helpful to understand past behaviors and the stories that are guiding our lives that are maybe creating goals for us, maybe steering us in certain directions around past experiences, but really important to recognize that there's a lot of stories still to be written. There's a blank page in front of you, and that story is going to be written on future behaviors, not future thoughts, future emotions, or what you would think you would do in that scenario, and rationalizing and day dreaming about what could have been or what could be in the future, but it really comes down to what is that step you're taking with your behavior to influence the future, to break that pattern, to write that story.


Remember Caillou? Well, this is him now. Feel old yet. Okay, that is definitely not Caillou We all know that is Saitama if you watch anime, but I might have found the actual Caillou in real life We'll interrupt your computer session to bring a Kaila era Kailu was deleted show by PBS kids Please do not turn off your computer.

Please do not do it again All right, I'm sorry mr. Baldi, but I will have to shut the computer off one more time Okay, we do have 10 chances. I don't like that. I like it when we have more the second times That's it. Your chances are now eight. Please do not turn off your computer All right. So now the threatening starts to begin. Well, we're supposed to be Feeling frightened for our life or for our computer most likely. Are you kidding me third times already now? Look what have you done?  All right, he seems very angry. You know what? Hey, bro, I'll square up with you Caillou if you want All right, let's keep going Better chill out. Okay All right, so now he threatened us personally Himself saying that he will go ex evil mode if we press the button But little does you know we will press the button. Let's keep it going.  It's not even Caillou anymore. Where did Caillou go? Okay, well, we're close to dying or having our computer hacked. Oh, yeah I remember you guys said to wait at the end because there's like a timer That's it. Your chances are now for leave me alone right now. I will not leave you alone We will turn off the computer This is getting worse This thing is getting horrific by the second. All right, let's keep going. We have three more chances That's three strikes and we're out, baby. All right. Here goes I Feel like we're cursed or something man, right? We are down to our second chance.  I don't even know bro But I don't think that actually correlates to these since they're not a It's not the barney error game since that was like the first one to pop up on the scene But we will wait. Let's wait a little bit. Let's see if it's true or not Okay Waiting I guess nothing's gonna happen. Let's just let's just press start off. Oh, man.  No warranty is allowed Wow, there goes my computer.  All right, so now that my computer is truly dead. That's where I smashed it Let's keep going. All right. Oh, that's it. That is the end of the kayu error. Come on. Oh Wait, that that is not the kayu error.  He turned very evil very quick and now I'm not even sure if I even like kayu anymore after this And I was a little disappointed Barney didn't show up on this one Even though he did show up on the door one. I don't know what the heck he was doing there I actually kind of like the door one It was it might have been one of the scarier ones that we played unlike this one I feel like I don't know. I feel like the jump scares it wasn't even kayu Like why would they not put kayu on the jump scare if it's a game about kayu? I feel like they could have made it a little better, you know Well, alright Pete kayu alright Pete childhood alright P everything man But thank you for watching and I'll see you in the next one

Morning Gary. Morning. Great to see you. We'll start with the big news. There's an alleged takeover of Bournemouth. What can you tell us? Nothing. Nothing at all. Obviously I'm not involved in any sort of discussions like that. So yeah, been hard at work over the other side on the grass and takeovers and discussions of that level were obviously a long way from my mind and what I'm focused on at the moment, which is Newcastle. It's going to be a big test. Clearly that could play into your hands though. If the ownership, the board are focusing on a new owner, that would leave you to focus on the football. Their focus isn't going to be about finding a new manager. It's going to be about sorting out that situation. So therefore you could be left to just carry on the good work that you're doing. Yeah, I'm not sure. I haven't considered anything around takeovers, discussions upstairs, my position, whatever that is it is. I know it's going to be boring for you guys, but I'm just fully focused. Literally every minute of my day is taken up by how we go about Newcastle for the last, since I heard the Brighton game was off. My wife and kids will tell you every minute of my day so far since that is Newcastle, weaver on the laptop, on the grass with the lads. Pure focus on how we go there, have an impact on the game and come away with a positive result again. Clearly last week's events with regards to the Queen would have been sad for everyone connected, but for you it was an opportunity to just sort of take stock of the situation because you were chucked in quite quickly to the Wolves game, you had no time to prepare for the Forrest game. Has this last 10 days or so been an opportunity for you to just breathe and assess things and actually do a little bit of work with the team without having a match so quick? Yeah, I think obviously extremely sad news and I think that the game being off was from a coaching and a pure football perspective to have it called off on the Friday is obviously we've done all the work for Brighton so we wasn't thinking Newcastle, we wasn't thinking longer term at that point, so it didn't really give us any more time to prepare for the Newcastle game because we were fully preparing for the Brighton one. But yeah, we've done some real good work, lads have been brilliant again all for the whole period. We replaced the Brighton game with a training session, they trained well and then as I said, switched focus fully to Newcastle, making sure the boys are fit, sharp in a good place. So yeah, I'm pleased with the work we've got into them as I was last week for the Brighton game, pleased with what they've done, feel like they're ready and we go up there looking to cause Newcastle some problems. Newcastle been positive this season, probably haven't won as many games as they would have liked but they've kept three clean sheets. This will be the first time that Eddie Howe has managed to side against Bournemouth. You will be familiar with Eddie because he joined Portsmouth while you were there as a youngster, although you didn't play together a great deal because of his injury. What do you remember about him and the character he was and just that environment from those early Pompey days when you were younger? Yeah, I just remember him going for a real tough time there. Everyone was trying to support him and help him at that moment because as you say, his injury problems there were really tough for him at a very young age as well. But yeah, he showed real resilience and was always keen to work and I think you see that in the successes he's had since those days with his managerial career. Yeah, and they're a very good side of every game. I've watched of them, they've been front foot, aggressive, cause teams problems, probably should have more points than they've got so far. I expect them to be very high up the league this year. I would expect them to be sort of top 8, top 10 by the end of the season. They're sort of aggressive, play forward a lot, ask you big questions. So yeah, it'll be a tough game for sure. Have yours and Eddie's past crossed over the last few years.  Of course, any young coach that has been as successful as Eddie has, you always look when that's the sort of industry you want to go into, you always look and think that he's doing a great job. How's he going about that? What are they doing? And obviously I know Richard Hughes fairly well, who knows Eddie. So a couple of times we bump into each other, try and pick his brains or what. So yeah, probably a while ago now, but yeah, our past have crossed a few times and not surprised that he's still doing very well. You mentioned how they've been a bit unlucky points-wise new cast. They gave Manchester City a great game, they've had a couple of VARs and things, but what has been key to them giving the likes of Liverpool City the best team such tough games? I think they have a real athleticism about them, across the team and that they can be very aggressive with their very front foot, they press, they make it difficult for you. They've signed good players, they're well organised, I think they're just a real good outfit I think. They probably should have won the palace game. As you say, the Manchester City game was a strange one, but a fantastic performance against the top side. They felt unlucky at Liverpool probably. So yeah, they're a good side, mainly they're very very physical, they've got good pace, good legs, midfield, top line, yeah they're a good side. So they're last big questions of everyone that goes there I'm sure. Bournemouth's last two away games have been a bit contrasty. How does a team bounce back so well after the disappointment at Liverpool and then having fallen to and behind that forest? What does that say about what you've got in the squad? Yeah, I've spoke about the qualities of the squad a lot, but also you have no choice. I mean after you lose, if you lose a game, whether it's 9-0 to Liverpool or whether it's 1-0 home to somebody else, I mean you have to respond, you have no choice. So whatever happens the weekend before we put to the side, we obviously review it, this is where things went right, it's where things went wrong and we get back to work. So yeah, the boys responded fantastically well, but I expected them to, even at 9-0 Forest 2-0 down at half-time, I expected them to and yeah that's the same again this weekend, I fully expect and a full belief in what they're going to show me on Saturday. And all Premier League players are very talented, that's a given, but we've seen many players, many teams over the years crumble having had lesser disappointments really and I just wonder, having gone 2-0 down at Forest, if you ask any player they'll always say oh there's a real good spirit in the dressing room, we're all together and it's special, the best atmosphere I've ever worked in, but you've been in a lot of dressing rooms, is the one here, is it rare, is it special, is it different? Yeah, I think for any team to have any success they have a real togetherness and that doesn't mean that you will get on but you have a real drive together to succeed something, to achieve something rather and I think last year when in promotion out of the championship it's tough, it's a long hard season, you go through real tough moments and they came through all those scrapes towards the end of the season when people were maybe asking questions about asking it being called, the boys go to Huddersfield and put on an incredible display against the team chasing us down, Nottingham Forest come here chasing us down full of momentum, they put in one of the best displays I've seen in their high pressure situation so yeah maybe because I'm close to them I just come to expect it from them because that's how they are, they're an incredible group and will we suffer tough moments in this league, I'm sure we will, as you said the big quality all over it so newly promoted we'll suffer some tough spells in games or some tough games but I fully expect them and believe they'll respond in the right way every time. And with you you mentioned your family don't see you much anymore and whatever but having done this job for a couple of weeks now have you noticed that there's any great difference between Gary O'Neill the first team coach and Gary O'Neill the caretaker manager? Yeah I mean you have to do loads more, it's your responsibility now, how everything looks on a Saturday is down to you and I enjoy that, I am enjoying it I think there is obviously pressures that come with it but yeah I've enjoyed it so far and hopefully when you ask me again at five o'clock on Saturday I'll still be enjoying it. You've got to make yourself more unpopular though haven't you, now you're the decision maker you're upsetting players? Yeah well yeah I don't really know I mean I enjoy making the decisions I think as I said we've got a good group they know we're in it together they know that all decisions I make all decisions they make are always for the best of the group so yeah we go to Newcastle which is a real tough challenge but we go there together and we see what we can achieve. Good luck Gary thanks mate. Good morning Gary can I just ask you for an injury role called ahead of the Newcastle game and maybe an update on David Brooks after his run out for the development squad? Yeah so we're in a similar place so game comes too soon for Joe Rothwell, Ben Pearson they'll still be missing. David Brooks suffered a slight setback in the development game that he played just a slight awareness in his hamstrings pain in his hamstring which is obviously initially disappointing for him but not unusual for any player that's been off the grass for that long with long-term injury or whatever it may be when they come back there's always a spell where they need to get their body used to being back on the grass every day. You see I've seen it so many times if players I've played would have maybe come back from a crucial injury and everyone's excited to see them back but they have to adapt again to the stresses of playing football every day so yeah not huge surprise although disappointing especially for Brooksy but yeah we were never planning to rush him back anyway it was always David's best interests so yeah we'll see how he recovers from that. Is junior Stanislaus getting closer to inclusion in the squad as well? Yeah junior's trained well he's been on the grass for us for a good few days now maybe from late last week so good to have junior back obviously has big quality that can help us no doubt. Just talking about Eddie Howe I think you only played with him for nine minutes in that Nottingham Forest game at the first day of the 2002-3 season. I can't remember that one. That's when he sustained that serious knee injury that almost robbed him of the career that he would have craved in the championship and the Premier League and it's so good that he's gone on to do that in management so can you remember anything about his early days? I remember when I remember him in training being a really good player I mean when he'd obviously arrived and as you do when a new player arrives you have everyone's eyes around them or what's this guy like what's he going to bring and he looked comfortable was obviously good on the ball and then suffered as you say some it's a real tough tough period at Portsmouth and what I remember from it was how how well he sort of he responded in those difficult moments and I suppose that's one of the big keys to to where he's to where he is now.


Tonight is the 50th anniversary of the Black Student Union here at University of Alabama and this major event called Onyx has brought together people from all across the campus community to celebrate what they've done. Pretty much tonight we're hosting a multicultural event for our students to where we get to showcase all the different minorities to who are on campus.  I think it's always important to have celebrations that mark the beginning of an academic year, celebrations that say we're all back together again, celebrations that acknowledge things that we've done in the past, so they're absolutely important. The coolest thing about this event is everybody coming out and being together and being one, just that unity. You can't beat it. It's extremely important, especially with going with diversity and inclusion, just to make sure students feel welcome and that other students know how they can't connect and get involved with those other minority organizations. That's really the big goal a university program has in conjunction with the Black Student Union. And plus it's their 50th anniversary, so I think this is a great way to have a good time. If you come out and you have a sense of unity and community like this, then it really makes a difference to you. What I want to say to the students is to make the most of this academic year. We have a campaign on the campus that acknowledges that University of Alabama is where legends are made. Live your life academically, get involved in such a way that we're a better campus because you came because you'll be a legend someday. Thank you.


Now we're going to move to the next problem, the 3.7 times d vector. So our d vector is 0.3 i hat minus 5.4 j hat. And we're going to multiply that entire vector by the number 3.7. If I'm going to write this out as one long line, it's going to look something like this. So let's walk through it in stages again. It's 3.7 times, and then you've got your entire d vector in parentheses. Those parentheses are important, so you see it's the entire thing times that number that's out front. So then by the distributive property, I can take that 3.7 and I multiply the 3.7 times the 0.3. And I multiply 3.7 times the negative 5.4. When I multiply those two, I get the 1.11 i hat. And when I multiply these two, I get negative 19.98 j hat. So it gives you all of this information because you had to multiply each component by 3.7, not just a single one. So anytime you've got a single number and you multiply it by the vector, you've got to make sure you multiply it by both components so that both of them are multiplied by the same thing.


So how was your weekend? How's your day? Why didn't they get the right kind of donuts? I'm tired of donuts. We should get cupcake. Billionaire Mark Cuban may say he's not a real estate guy, but his properties tell another story. The business tycoon doesn't move around as much as you think, but he does own more than one mansion. Back in 1999, Mark bought his first mega mansion in Dallas, Texas where he still resides with his family to this day. He's also recently treated himself to a fancy home in Laguna Beach, and in this video will be giving you all the details. There's no reason to be greedy. I didn't need more. I just needed to keep what I had. Mark Cuban is an entrepreneur, TV personality investor, and much more, including owner of the NBA's Dallas Mavericks team, co-owner of 2929 Entertainment, and chairman of Access TV. You probably know him well from his role as one of the main investors on ABC's Shark Tank. Because there's no chance of you making money on this. Worst presentation ever. I'm out. The tech mogul became a billionaire on paper back in 1999 when he and his co-founder sold broadcast.com to Yahoo for 5.7 billion in stock. Then early 2000, Mark cashed in those shares for reported 10-figure paydays.  Nobody likes meetings. He's earned his fortunes through a lifetime of business deals, his ownership of the Dallas Mavericks, investments made on the show Shark Tank, and more. So now there's me and you. All things considered, these days Forbes estimates Mark's net worth at $4.6 billion, landing him among the richest people in America. He's come a long way since living in what he called a dumpy apartment, staying up late eating chicken wings and teaching himself to code. In fact, the very first things Mark bought when he made it big in 1999 included a spontaneous party trip to Vegas, an island vacation, and his massive mansion in Dallas, Texas, where you might be surprised to know he still lives in. Hey guys it's Karen, today we're doing another house tour here on Famous Entertainment. We'll be looking at business mogul and billionaire Mark Cuban's properties and where he calls home. He may not have as many as states as his billionaire buddies, but the ones he owns in Texas and California are impressive to say the least.  If you like these videos make sure you're subscribed during that bell to be notified when we post so you can always be up to date. We've also done house tours and likes of Elon Musk and Jeff Bezos and we'll link to some at the end. Follow me on Instagram to chat and as usual let me know who's house tour is next in those comments down below. Now let's get into this video. Like I mentioned one of Mark's first huge purchases back in 1999 was his family mentioned Dallas, Texas which he bought for 13 million but some sources report it cost him closer to 17 million. Place is enormous 24,000 square feet. I don't even still to this day don't know how many bedrooms or bathrooms. It's located in Preston Hollow which is an exclusive and super wealthy neighborhood in Dallas. I'd say come to Dallas because it's friction free. It's really quick simple and easy to start a company. There's just a different work ethic here. Other famous residents include the likes of former US President George W. Bush and pro golfer Jordan Spieth. Mark's single family home is fit for his billionaire status considering it spans 23,676 square feet inside and sits on seven acres of land. The mansion was built in 1997 so just shortly before he moved in there are 10 beds and 16 baths and it's designed in a French Chateau style. As you drive into the gates you'll find a large multi-car garage to the right which looks as big as a house. I remember looking at cars and thinking I want this car. Fortunately I kept my junker. In fact Mark already had a large attached garage but it wasn't enough so he added two detached ones for almost 5,000 square feet of garage space. Then the main house wraps around a large driveway with an elegant fountain front and center. For additional space there's this three-story guest house at the back of his property. Although I don't know how many rooms are inside you can tell from the photos it's spacious and looks more like a family home than a guest quarters. The inside of Mark's mansion remains a bit of a mystery and the businessman likes to keep things private. What we do know is as soon as he bought it he added a state-of-the-art sound system right away. We also know the home has a total of 5 wet bars throughout, 5 fireplaces and an expansive wine cellar making it perfect to entertain. Mark converted one of the many bedrooms into his home office naturally. If he drew several desks, a few computers and actually a lot of clutter. Although the office may look like a mess he's living the entire house and it's where he spends most of his time when he's home. I got married effectively, I had no furniture and we played wiffle ball in my ballroom. Outside on the grounds of Mark's mega mansion there's an equally huge backyard. Aside from the well-manicured lawn and landscaping there are plenty of other features.  I doubt Mark will be selling this family mansion anytime soon but its value these days is estimated at a whopping $19 million and considered the ninth most expensive home in the Dallas area. There were rooms I still haven't been in in years. I still have the house.  Although most of Mark's free time has spent at his Dallas residence, more recently he found it was time to invest in a getaway property. It's just a family decision. And what better spot than sunny California? It's moved out to LA to live on the beach and just be retired. In December 2018, Mark bought this gorgeous villa as a vacation home located in Laguna Beach, California, more specifically in the exclusive Montage Residences community. It was the highest sale in the neighborhood that year. According to the Montage website, homes at Montage Laguna Beach provide a rare opportunity to fully embrace the Montage lifestyle. In the comfort and intimacy of a stunning home families can enjoy the resort's exceptional setting and amenities while creating memories that will last for generations. So his home basically doubles as a hotel thanks to all of the resort-style amenities residents are given access to. Some of these include concierge services, housekeeping, room service, and a spa. The house is located right on the coast of Southern California, of course, on the ocean and it set Mark back reported $19 million. The beach house spans 7,867 square feet of living space inside and is decorated in an airy and bright California style with an indoor-outdoor vibe. There are six bedrooms, some with beach-themed decor, and 10 bathrooms. From the photos, the home seems contemporary and modern while still looking comfortable. It was built in 2010 and has all the updates you could imagine, including features like full-built systems to easily control everything from the lighting, ambiance, as well as audio- visual devices and cameras. On the main level, mahogany and glass stores blend with the walls, opening up the common living spaces to views the view of the place. The main kitchen has white cabinets, marble countertops, and a breakfast bar. Not to mention if you'd prefer to dine outside, there's a full-outdoor kitchen too with a grill and a sink. Mark's Laguna Beach home is well-equipped to host guests wherever you are on the property. All the bedrooms are well-coming with attached spa-like bathrooms and the master suite may just be the nicest. Here, one entire walled room opens right up to the beautiful outdoor space. The private home office opens up to the view of the house. I don't think it's been kept as organized as a listing photo. I had to figure out every which way in order to do it. Other features inside his beach house include a media room, a library, a home gym, and a home theater. Downstairs is another spacious living area with three TV screens, a full bar and a wrap-around sofa. Not to mention on the same level of the home, there's a wine cellar with room for hundreds of bottles. This room seems like a fancier version of a man cave. Outside is equally impressive. Aside from that outdoor kitchen, there's more furniture on the patio for lounging and dining. There's a private pool on the deck but Mark and his family also have access to the three resort pools as well if they prefer. So now we've taken a look at billionaire Mark Cuban and his properties including his main family home in Dallas. He's owned since 1999 and his more recent spot in Laguna Beach. For someone with that kind of fortune you'd think he would own more real properties. On the other hand, Mark has made a few other luxury purchases only someone with that type of money could buy which make up for his lack of properties. Like, the man owns a Gulfstream v. business jet and it cost him more than his homes, a whopping 40 million dollars. To this day, his private jet holds the Guinness World Record for the biggest purchase conducted over the internet. Although it sounds crazy, Mark called the plane one of the smartest purchases he's ever made. It saves me hours and hours. These days it's said he owns two private jets and a yacht. Alright, so that's all I got on business tycoon Mark Cuban and his mansions in Texas and California. I know we couldn't see much of his family home, but what should you like better? Although the Dallas place is much bigger than the vacation home, it's hard not to love the modern and open concept 5 of the place in Laguna Beach. I mean it has the amenities of a 5 star hotel and opens right up to sea. Follow me on over on Instagram if you haven't already and you want to chat and I'll see you all in the next video. Bye!
