Hi everybody, Joe for JaspiesCaseBreaks.com. We did it. We finally knocked out the Jaspies 26 box monster multi-year basketball mixer.  So it's only a 10 spot break, no vet commonship, lots of value in this. Just start looking up some of the prices of these hobby boxes and whatnot. A lot of different years too, so a lot of different rookies to chase. Big thanks to this group right here for getting in on the action. So let's triple you up. Here's one, two, and three. Now for the purposes of the Saint Nick promo, I'm sure everyone saw and read the rules on JaspiesCaseBreaks.com, only people who bought full spots will be entered into the final dice roll and for any other randomizers we may need to do, but the final dice roll, so it's that group right there including Chad who bought all the spots in that filler pack, so that equals a full spot. So he's included as well. But first, the break. All 30 teams are in. Let's roll it. Let's randomize names and teams. Three and a six. Nine times. One, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, and once more, ninth and final time. After nine, we've got Steve all the way down to Tyler. Three and a six. Nine times for the 30 teams, one, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight. And finally, ninth and final time. After nine, we've got the Utah Jazz down to the Minnesota Timberwolves. Now remember, there's a lot of boxes and a lot of different years, so trade at your own risk.  We're going to alphabetize by team, and we're going to pause the video. When we come back, we're going to see if there's any trades, and then we will have the break just for you visual learners out there. Just a quick little example of all the different boxes and different years that are in here. I did make a count, there are 26, so I don't know, it's kind of hard to see. Maybe that was, maybe just look at this picture right over here.  Nice visual look on what you could possibly get out of here. So I'm going to pause the video. When we come back, we're going to see if there's any trades, and then we'll have the break stick around, be right back. All right, welcome back everybody. There was a little bit of trade chatter, but in the end, no deals were done here in this break. We're going to try to get some of the base heavier sets out of the way first. Here's the final look at the printout right here. Thanks for spending a bit of your Sunday night with us here in this monster multi-year mixer. Thanks everybody. All right, so settle in, get a warm beverage maybe, a hot cocoa, an adult beverage if you're into that sort of thing. And let's see what we got. Let's start off with a bang right here. Let's go 2017-18, Prism Basketball, hobby edition. I feel like I'm going to need to reference the various strats. 2017, if you want to refresh your memory, that's the Markel Fultz, Lonzo Ball, Jason Tatum, Darren Fox, Donovan Mitchell, Bam Adebayo, et cetera, et cetera. So we're starting off with a nice draft class. I guess there's some upside for guys like Malik Monk and Laurie Markinin. If they want to put it together, maybe they could be late bloomers. Kuzma's in here as well. I like the lip of the pack to be on the right side. Yeah, I like Markel Fultz. I thought the change of scenery to Orlando was a good sign, would be a positive thing for him, but I just got unlucky with some injuries, which is unfortunate. But who has the sixers in this? Oh, that's you, Chad. So yeah, so if you get some Markel Fultz's, then that might be something to sort of stash and hold on to until he's healthy and can start showing what he can do. I'm not sure, and so take a look at our box list on the website. I think I still have the mixer active on the website, so you can go there and you can reference the boxes. I guess we'll eventually get to it at a glance. Maybe there's some hiding back there. But remember the wild card is that hip parade box, Sapphire edition, which could have Trey Young, PS810, and Luka Dodgers, PS810. You never know. See Jim McCollum to $1.99? And just in the interest of time, we're going to have our shipping team sleeve and top load those. And already we're going to get a nice card here, a base Jason Tatum rookie card. That will be for Steve Birch and the Boston Celtics. Obviously players of this caliber will pull right away. And we'll do a quick little recap too at the end. Dwayne Bacon, 53 out of 99 for Charlotte. That's going to be for Steve. I think this might have been the one and only year they did coach cards. I think this was it after that. These cards are sticking together a little bit. There's Alvin Gentry, Derek White to $1.99 for the Spurs. That's going to be for Christopher and San Antonio. Although we did, back when we started, we were ripping a lot of this in 2017. We joked around that a silver Greg Popovich, PS810 could go for $100. I think they might actually go for a decent amount. I mean, he's a Hall of Fame coach and probably one of the more recognizable or popular coaches in the NBA. Wayne Selden, Red Wave. We just saw David Fisdale there. He's actually coaching the Lakers right now because head coach Frank Vogel is under the protocol. Mani Bogu, hyper parallel. Durant still in his warrior's gear. Sundari Sorenwell, rookie prism. Earl Watson for the Suns to $1.99. And we've got a Caleb Swanigan, rookie silver auto for Portland. That's going to go to Christopher. Boone's thinking, I love prism. I think 2018 had the best rookie card design. There's Damien Dotson, silver. Rudy Gaubert to $49. And there's a Kyle Kuzma, rookie hyper. Still Lakers edition here going to Jeff. Sorry, my team page is all bent a little bit. And we've got a Marcus Smart for the Celtics. That is for Steve Birch in Boston. There's a reason who's back on the Lakers. And that was our first box in the books. My Lakers in Chicago, shorthanded Lakers are tied $94.94 to the Bulls with about eight minutes left. A lot of time left in the game. Let's go further back in time to 2016-17. 2016-17. Rex is reporting that Rex works for a major grocery chain. He's saying that we've got word that snack packs are permanently going to be gone from all your Kroger stores. Not sure why, but maybe, oh, supply chain. They come in cups. I'm not sure what a snack pack is. Is it like Cheetos in a cup that fits into your cup holder in a car? 2016 draft, by the way. That is Ben Simmons, Brandon Ingram, Jalen Brown, even Buddy Heel, Jamal Murray, DeMontis Sabonis. Who else? I guess maybe Malik Beasley. Pascal Siakam is in there. Sharpshooter Furkon Korkmaz is there.  OK, not familiar with that. Malcolm Brogdon. Yeah, Danny's also referencing. It's a Billy Madison thing, too. It's his favorite snack. I haven't seen that in probably over 10 years. I feel like if I haven't seen a movie in over 10 years, then I may as well count it as I haven't seen that movie. Hey, there's a Jamal Murray rookie card. It's Kyle Lowry to $199 for Toronto. Aaron Gordon Hollow, Jamal Murray rookie card. Let's round a little bit. That goes to Denver. That'll be for Sean M. There's Nikola Miratich to $199. I don't know, Boone. It might be. 2016 might be the first year for Donner's optic basketball. Can anyone confirm or deny that? There's DeMonte Sabonis, Ben Simmons. Where does Ben Simmons end up? That's 84 out of 99 for Christopher. No, check that for Chad and the Sixers. Sabonis is OKC edition. That'll be for Christopher. James Harden, red. There you go, 51 out of 99. And Pascal Siakam, is your rookie auto? Is your rookie auto, nice. Nice one for the Raptor, Steve Birch. Does that try to trade, couldn't trade Mojo? Rex saying shorts are horrible in his area. Only getting worse. 2022 is going to be just as bad. I feel like in LA, and Rex is in kind of a smaller town in Indiana. In Los Angeles, we haven't had too much of a problem. At least not that I've personally noticed. Danny's in the Pacific Northwest. He's saying plastic is bad, having trouble keeping cups and straws and stuff. We're going back to 2017, 18. We're going to be bouncing around a little bit. Make myself a little room here. Anyone else having trouble finding things in groceries? I guess I don't really buy snack packs or plastic cups and straws. So I guess I haven't noticed. But if you do buy those things, maybe you have noticed. State your city and region, and your shortage, just so we get an idea of what it's looking like across the country. We are a national show. Longer breaks like this mixer allow us to kind of have a little more fun conversation here. All right, next box, Laurie Marken and Rated Rookie. He might have some upside. Again, it's Josh Jackson, Rated Rookie Hollow. John, I like John Collins. How's he doing this season? I've heard too much of him. John Collins could be a guy. There is Clay Thompson to 175. This might be a parallel hot box. Maybe not. There's Laurie Marken in again. TJ Leaf, Rated Rookie. Hollywood can't find any Halloween candy in LA. Ante Zizic, Rated Rookie Hollow for Cleveland, Christopher. And there is a Nets edition of Jared Allen. I like Jared Allen. There's Jimmy Butler to 199. And that is Timberwolves edition. That'll be for Tyler. There's Green Trevor Reza to 175 for Sean and Houston. Oh, and a redemption that might be expired. And it's Dennis Smith Jr. It did expire, but I think if you go through the redemption system, you may be able to get the card itself if they have it available or they'll replace it with points. You might have some options, Jeff and Dallas. It's still Mavs edition. He was hobby hot for a second for that first part of the season. But I don't know. People see the story about, I think it was Carlisle, the former Dallas coach not getting along with the team and something like that. And I think Dennis Smith Jr. might have been a casualty so that he might have been traded for maybe no good reason and maybe stunted his development. So all right, we're going back in time to 2014. That's like us trying to order top loaders, right? What a shock bite. Carmelo. All right, let's see what we got here. Good luck, everybody. We've got Timothy Mazgov. The red signature is 76 out of 99. Kaz, that'll be for Christopher. We've got Bradley Beale. We've got a piece of his jersey to 199. Wizards, that's going to go to Steve Birch. Got a Carl Landry. Autograph, 34 out of 99. From Threads, Kings. That's going to go to Jeff and Sacramento. High Flyers, insert Aaron Gordon. Of course, we'll go to Orlando, Chad. Inside Presence, that's Jordan Hill. I remember Jordan Hill. Lakers. And a Chris Bosch relic. Authentic Threads to 199. That is for the Miami Heat. It's for Sean Maddock. Al Jefferson to 199. For Charlotte. Got a Kevin McHale to 199 for the Celtics. And a Zach Levine High Flyers rookie card for Minnesota. All right, let's go further back in time to 2012. Lakers up by 3-4-30 left. Be nice if they could pull this off with a shorthanded team. Is Kyrie a rookie in this set? 2012, is that? Was that the year? I keep forgetting, was this the double rookie class year? No, as Kyrie was 2011 maybe. No, I think that's the second year. Rookie impact, Clay Thompson. Anyone ever played this game? You know, that shot, they're definitely rookies there. This was that double rookie class. All right, but nothing too crazy there. All right, where should we go? Let's keep going. Let's go prestige. Blaster box, 1718. When's Clay Thompson coming back? Although, I don't know if the Warriors are in a rush to have him back. They seem to be doing just fine without him. Let's see what we got here. We got Porzingis, Ivan Radd, Justin Jackson, and, wow. TMAP, Tracy McGrady autographed out of a Blaster box. That's pretty awesome. I'll take it. It's Orlando Magic Edition. That's gonna go to Chad. It's pretty cool. There's Adebayo, Bam Adebayo. Got Justin Jackson, Dan Smith Jr., JJ Borreia. All right, what about some Clear? What year is this? This is, ooh, 2015, 16. Clear vision. D'Angelo Russell rookie. That's still Lakers edition, so that's gonna go to Jeff. Got it, 13 out of 99, John Stockton. Marcus Aldridge, red parallel. There's a number right there. It's like nine out of 99. There you go. All right, nothing too crazy. The D'Angelo Russell rookie car was not too shabby. All right, let's see, where are we at? Maybe flash forward to 2020, 2021. Optic megabots, bouncing around different years here. Two minutes left in the Lakers game, down by a point. LeBron possession. Backs down, Caruso knocked away, turnover. So Adebayo rated rookie, Pink Hyper. For Detroit, that's gonna go to Tyler. A couple of good games in a row. My House, Luka Donchich. Express Lane, Anthony Hardaway. That's a cool looking insert. More Luka Donchich, Splash. James Ramsey and Anthony Edwards. Nice Anthony Edwards. Rated rookie base for Tyler and the T Wolves. Nice. All right, maybe we'll work through some Chronicles here. How about let's go with the older Chronicles first. Rosen. Yeah, the T-Max pretty cool, right? Chad's a little behind, he knows it though. There's a Black Box James Harden, Rockets Edition 62 out of 99. Matisse Tybal to 199. More James Harden to 149. Here's a marquee rookie Jordan Pool who's definitely been showing, definitely been showing out this season. Golden State Warriors, Chad. There's a Jared Culver rookie card right there to 149. Here's another player that's been playing well, R.J. Barrett. Although the Knicks have, as a team, been a little disappointing after their playoff run last year, but R.J. Barrett's been looking pretty good. That goes to New York. That's gonna go to Christopher. There's Carmelo. These act as update cards here. So that's where Portland. All right, and the redemption is Keldon Johnson, rookie cornerstones for the Spurs. That'll be for Christopher and to Antonio. I think that's the quad relic in autograph. Those look really nice. LeBron James, Flux Silver. Remember, we saw these fluxes in Chronicles first, and now we've got a whole proper release for Flux, which we can get in on tonight, jaskyscasebrakes.com. And there's an R.J. Barrett. Jersey and Otto, nice, 75 out of 75. Christopher with the New York Knicks. I was just about to ask how that football game was going, because no one seems to have said anything. Excuse me, but Danny saying, since you're not watching football and update Fournet, Evans and Godwin all out for Tampa Bay, it's not looking good for my Tampa Bay minus 11. Here's Chronicles again. This time 2020, 2021. Carmelo tie, no. Back out, shoot it again. Ellington to tie, no, off the front of the rim. I think game's over for the Lakers. We're down by three. Carmelo had a good look, so did Wayne Ellington. Those are the guys who want taking those shots, but no dice. Show, you saw how Buck Schollalter hired by the men, so it was a surprise how that was able to happen. Buck Schollalter not part of the player's union, Rex. I guess he would be part of the manager's union? I'm pretty sure that's a separate union. Tyrese Halliburton, rookie card. James Weisman blue, that's 99 for the Warriors. That's for Chad. And another Anthony Edwards rookie card, prestige version going to Tyler and the T-Wolves. Jason Tate's been having some nice moments this season too. And there is, out of 99, an OB top, and kind of hard to see the blue against that. No, well the lockout is between, the collective bargaining agreement is between the player's union and the owners. There's Tyler Bay. Private signings autograph. No, Buck Schollalter's still with us. That's why he was hired by the Mets. He'd be pretty difficult if he was not with us. And a big game James autograph. Nice, 56 out of 75. That's pretty cool. That's Jeff with my Lakers. You might see here his voice on in the background. He's on the Lakers post-game show. There he is. Other Anthony Edwards. I want to say Buck Schollalter's been doing studio analysis for MLB Network for like the last handful of years. There's Anthony Edwards, Rookies and Stars. Cole Anting's been looking really good too. All right, what should we do next? Maybe we'll go to some 18, 19 hoops. That's a good year. All right, now we're getting to some of the, we're working our way towards the back of this break. This will involve some of the higher end products shifted towards the back. Got some obsidian back there, hip parade, canini black, contenders, some prism, some spectra back there. We've got a lot of fun stuff. I don't think Ansel there's been a single big hit thus far, but we've pulled some Anthony Edwards rookie cards. James Worthy autograph, Tracy McGrady autograph, some other rookie cards back here. Not one single massive thing, but solid thus far. And with many more boxes to go. Little LeBron James to 49. Michael Porter Jr. needs to stay healthy. That'd be hashtag good for the hobby. We've got a Stanley Johnson rookie remembrance relic for the Pistons. That's gonna go to Tyler in Detroit. There we go. Here's a couple of Luca Donchages. Nice rookie card, it's a big one right here, especially with this great dad nicely. Jeff with Dallas. And you got a Luca Donchages rookie insert here as well. He's actually been playing pretty decently. Jalen Brunson. I don't know if the hobby really, the price and the hobby reflect that, but on the court he's been playing pretty well. Let's get some, let's get some revolution going. Oh, Rebel reminded me about the football game, although do I wanna switch back to it, Kyle? Rebel's saying this is one of the worst games Brady has had in a long time. Hard to watch. I don't think he has a lot of weapons today either. Danny was saying these lost a lot of pass catchers out here. I mean, this is just a bad game in general. Six is nothing in the fourth. He tried scrambling for the first down. That's not his game and got the ball knocked out and turned it over. Yeah, that's not his game. Roof Kyle Kuzma. Mike Connelly, Fractal. Tyler Bay, Astro. More Astro right here, Lamarcus Aldridge. Lou Williams, Cosmic to 100 for the Clippers. And a Jay-Sean Tate for Houston. That's gonna go to Sean M. Here's a couple of Tyrese Maxies for Jeff and the Kings. Here's a Fractal. And here's just that, this is just the base version. NBA Who? Premium stock hybrid edition. Jimmy's saying he's washed up. Brady's done. I know it's not, but Drex is gonna ask anyway, what if this is the first game where Brady slowly turns into man? This could be, I mean, we'd have to wait for like, I don't know, we'd probably have to wait like almost the rest of this season, I suppose, at least until the end of the season, maybe even the beginning of next season for us to really pinpoint this game as the one. But as Danny said earlier, he's lost like four key players, four key offensive players in this game. So I think this would not be the game to assess Tom Brady's battle against Father Time. Charles Barkley, autograph. Nice, Hoops, Inc. auto for the Rock, it's Sean M. Been some surprise with some old school players hopping in these boxes. Pretty cool. Mo Bamba to 99. Denzel Valentine Red. Braun James. Minas Cantor, Kendrick Nunn. Van Vleet at the end. What is this? Let's go, yeah, let's go absolute, right? Danny, his forehead starts to enlarge. Hairline moves back, forehead starts to expand. All right, there's Robert Woodard to 10. Tyrell Terry to 199. Nikola Vusevich behind Jalen Smith. Theo Maladon behind Devon Vasell. Darius Garland for the Cleveland Cavaliers. Cleveland, this is for you. Christopher with Cleveland. And there's Onyeka Okongu. Nice. Six piece, six piece Chicken McNuggets. Six way relic, autograph, 172 out of 199. For Atlanta, Harry Laos with the ATL. We got Dirk Nowitzki, piece of his jersey, for Dallas. As for Jeff and Dallas and behind Jalen Smith, it's Jordan and Wara. Nine out of 49. Future autograph for Milwaukee. That's gonna be for Steve Burch and the Bucks. Let's go with contenders. I have not seen that meme. Where they take the body parts of the worst parts, the worst body parts of every NFL quarterback and put it together for some sort of terrifying Frankenstein. Manning's forehead breezes right. Oh, that's a little unfair. Well, I guess old Breeze does his right arm. He probably should be Breeze's height, but it might be a better one.  I gotta go look for that. That's pretty good. Ryan Leaves work ethic, could that be one? Rookie of the Year contenders, Deandre Hunter. And a Zion lottery ticket. This is rookie card for Tyler and the Pelicans. Whoa, a Shaquille O'Neal autograph. We had Tracy McGrady, Charles Barkley and now a Shaquille O'Neal auto. Wow, 10 out of 10 for the big Aristotle. Veteran ticket on-card autograph. That's Jeff with the Lakers. Nice old Laker Joe Mojo. And we've got a Goga Pataze rookie ticket autograph for the Pacers, Christopher with Indiana. Not numbered, by the way. And we've got a James Harden to 149 semi-final ticket and a PJ Washington lottery ticket and a Kauai Leonard superstar die cut. Got a Jamal Murray conference-final ticket to 125 for Denver. That'll be for Sean M. And that was contenders. All right, what about some Donner's basketball? It's like T-Mall edition, maybe? It's Caruscio. And the Gdanshich, CJ Elby. Marcus Smart, Troy Brown Jr. and a Cole Anthony, Tyrese Halliburton. Tyrese Halliburton for the Kings. That'll be for Jeff and the Orlando Magic. That'll be for Chad. So with me not knowing a lot of basketball, Rex, I'm watching the Shaq, the best, Lakers.  I think he really kind of was in his prime with the Lakers. James Wiseman, Green Cole Anthony, that's pretty cool. It's for Chad in Orlando. Mitchell Robinson is your relic out of this blaster box. That's gonna go to Christopher and the Knicks. Miles Turner in the back. What else do we have here? What about this prism retail box? Yeah, or Celtics edition. Hey, thanks Adam, I appreciate that. Happy Christmas and all that for you too. This is that, I'm gonna start mixing in some more Christmas music over the next night or two. See what we got here. Ooh, nice red wave, James Wiseman for Chad and the Warriors.  I know we've seen some base cards, but we wanna see parallels, or base rookie cards that is. Patrick Williams, Green for the Bulls, Christopher. I feel like all those baseball players, they've got some time. Anyone who's a redemption should be signing baseball cards right now. Isga Coro, rookie Silver for Cleveland, Christopher. Aaron Baines, red wave. And Killian Hayes. Rookie autograph. Penmanship autograph. Silver for Tyler in Detroit. And another Cole Antony. All right, where should we go to next? Maybe, maybe some Mosaic Blaster box. And then I think I'll go Cron Royale, Port Kings, the two Spectra T-Mall boxes. And then these three, the Black, the Obsidian, and then the Hip Parade at the very end. The Hip Parade could have a pretty big hit. It is a Platinum Edition, or Sapphire Edition, that is. Platinum Edition. Could be a graded card in there, or a really nice card in general. We've seen a lot of that Hip Parade basketball. Quiet on Earth. We've got Lucas Samanche, Rookie Royalty. That is, there's the number right there, it is 75. 48 out of 75. And Jaumarant Relic.  Jaumarant Relic goes to Harry Laos. And the redemption is gonna be Jalen Noel, Rookie Silhouettes for Minnesota. That's gonna be for Tyler. All right, let's go, Port Kings. And Peyton Pritchard is our Rookie Expression Relic. That'll be for Boston Steve Birch and the Boston Celtics. Is this the autograph? It is, Harold Minor. Brushstrokes Autograph for Miami. It'll be for Sean M. Is that part of your Jordan Poole rainbow, Jimmy? All right, almost there, folks. Let's do a couple of these Spectra T-Mall boxes. Might just be parallels, I don't know, we'll see.  All right, we've got Vusevich Bogdanovich, Buddy Heald to 25. I don't think these ones are numbered, right? They're not. Carmelo Anthony, Spectacular debut, Giannis Anticompo, and Victor Oladipo. Shaquille O'Neal, Trey Young, Theo Maladon, Terry Rosear, Donovan Mitchell, and Christian Wood. I thought that was gonna be numbered. And Christian Wood. All right, nothing too crazy in that Spectra. Let's go 2019-20, Panini Black, Basketball. All right, we've got Ty Jerome to 49. Kyle Kuzma to 65. Steph Curry to 149, behind it, Malcolm Brogdon to 149. Behind Steph is a Luca Samanich. Dual Relic and Rookie Otto, 41 out of 49. San Antonio, that's gonna be for Christopher. All right, what about some Obsidian basketball? All right, we've got a Pitch Black die cut, Joel M. Bede, 73 out of 99. Bam Adebayo for the heat, 32 out of 50. Behind RJ Hampton, Jordan Clarkson, Anthony Davis. He made us out for four weeks, almost a month with maybe more of that MCL. We have a one of one, Killian Tilly for the Grizzlies. Harry Laos, last spot Mojo, Memphis Grizzlies. And a one of one, Onyx Autograph. Now we're rooting for him to be an All-Star someday. Harry Laos, out of 500, get the train whistle, all aboard the Big Hit Express. Woo-hoo! Another one behind, already handed it to Jamal Murray. Nice, 34 out of 49, Aurora. Autograph for the Denver Nuggets. Sean Maddock with Denver. All right, and we finally made it the 26th box of this monster multi-year basketball mixer. Thanks everybody for getting in. We'll do a quick little recap. We'll give away that St. Nick spot as well. All right, we have a thick card here. We've got an autograph. We have a nice first team signature, the logo Jerry West. Nine out of 99 on that autograph. From 2019, 2021, and one basketball. Really nice. Laker, Joe Mojo for Jeff Lydell. There you go, Jeff. And there you go, everybody. Thanks for watching. Thanks for breaking with us and sharing your hit as well. Now, let's see who's gonna win before and after we do the randomizer. We'll do the, do a quick little recap here. Let's see who wins those two St. Nick spots. So let's flip back to the list here. Now remember, only the people who bought spots straight up are eligible. That's Christopher, Steve and Harry Laos and Chad bought all the spots in the fillers. That's a full spot too. So good luck to both of you. Top two, incredible odds here. Top two, get into that St. Nick promo where you're guaranteed something. I don't know what it's gonna be, but you're gonna be guaranteed something. After eight times, eight the hard way, four and a four. Good luck. One, two, three, four, five, six, seven, and eighth and final time. After eight, it's Christopher and Chad. Congrats to you. Thanks for getting in, everybody. I appreciate it. I'm Joe for jaskyscasebreaks.com and I'll see you next time for the next one. Bye-bye. Oh no, sorry, not bye-bye. Caught myself. Recap time. There's Jerry West, Jamal Murray, that one-of-one Killian Tilly. Jalen Noel, you'll probably be able to get something for that. Red Wave, James Weissman. Not a bad break. Some pretty solid stuff. Shaq Undergraph, the Cole Anthony Green, Rookie Zion, the Kong Wu, Charles Barkley out of Hoops, Hybrid, the Luka Donchich Rookie Card, some Anthony Edwards' big game, James Worthy, some RJ Barrett Rookie Patch Auto. It's pretty strong. Jordan Poole, Anthony Edwards, T-Mac, Dennis Smith Jr., Rookie Pascal Siakam, Marcus Smart, Caleb Swanigan, and adjacent Tatum Rookie Card. It was one of the bigger things at the very beginning. Thanks again, now thanks again, everybody. I appreciate everybody digging deep onto this mixer. I'm Joe for jaspyscasebreaks.com, and I'll see you next time for the next basketball break. Bye-bye.


Alright now that we've gone over these conditions for a genuine option let's practice with these a little bit. Let's take a look at some propositions and determine whether they're live, they're forced and they're momentous and see where you fall with this stuff. So the first is whether the propositions are live. So I'm going to go through a list of propositions here in a minute and explain them. But just for the moment, remember that what it means to be live is that you're willing to consider evidence for it. It doesn't mean you actually believe it, it doesn't mean you don't in fact disbelieve it. You can disbelieve something and still be live. It doesn't matter what other people consider to be live or not, this is simply you. So the question is whether you're willing to consider evidence for these propositions. So let's take a look at the first one. Rationality demands that you resolve known contradictions in your beliefs. So during the course of the semester already probably found a few contradictions within your beliefs pretty quickly. And according to this proposition rationality demands that you resolve that contradiction. What that means is you reject one or the other and preferably with good reason, preferably with good reason. So if you find that you have contradictions about the relationship between parts and whole, you ought to resolve that contradiction by rejecting one or more of the beliefs that causes the other problem to begin with. So that's live. Second proposition. Sorry, not that it's live, but that's the first one. That's the first proposition. Asking you whether you think it's live. Second proposition. Rationality does not demand this. So according to this, you could be rational and have known contradictions in your beliefs.  I'm still going to hold on to them. And according to this proposition, you would still be rational. So that's rational. Second, third proposition. There is a moral order. There is a moral order. Now, what this means is that there's some real answer to the question how should you live your life? It's not that it's not what I'm not saying here is that there's, you know, people say that there is other cultures that and they enforce this, right? That's not what I'm saying. There is a question. There is an answer to the question, how should you live your life? Right?  Right. So that's, that's the one proposition. That's our third proposition there. There is a moral order. Whether it's known or not, whether people believe it, there is a moral order. Okay. Fourth proposition. There is not a moral order. Right? There is no answer to the question, how should you live your life? There is no standard by which your life should be led.  There is no answer to the question. It's a bad question to begin with. That's the fourth proposition. Fifth proposition. Some things are physical. Some things are physical. So we look at the objects around us, these trees, these bushes, right? Some of these are at least some things that all of those are physical. At least there are some things that are physical. It's not to say that some things are not. Right? Just that at least some things are physical. Sixth proposition. Some things are not physical. Right? There are some non-physical things that exist. So we've seen some candidates for this already. Right? Numbers, truth relations, truth itself. Right? So according to this proposition, there are some, you know, some of these things exist, and they are non-physical. It's not to say that there aren't any physical. Okay, sure, it could be some physical things, right? Not saying one way or the other on that. The only claim here is that at least some things that exist are non-physical. They're not composed of atoms. Seventh proposition. There are no non-physical things. There are no non-physical things. Right? This is to say that everything that exists is physical. If it exists, it's composed of matter. Okay. Next proposition. There is some sort of divinity. Right? Not saying it exactly, right? Not taking Pascal's right here, right? Just not saying which one. Just saying there is some sort of divinity. There's some sort of deity, some sort of god, something like that. Next proposition. There is not some sort of divinity. There is not some sort of divinity. So, I remember at this point, right? All we're doing is asking whether it's live and whether you believe one or the other. Right? Just whether it's live, whether you're willing to consider evidence for it. Okay. Next proposition. Knowledge requires consensus. So, what this means is that if we are to know something, then we have to collectively agree on it, right? So, this should sound a lot like Clifford. And it basically is, right? We should, if we are going to claim knowledge and there has to be consensus amongst people, we have to be able to agree on this. And that, you know, any outliers need to be, you know, probably need to be answered, but just merely being an outlier by that condition. Well, that doesn't count as knowledge. Next proposition. Knowledge does not require consensus. So, the idea here is that there can be these outliers that know some people on the periphery or what have you, right? Some way shape or form. They know they have knowledge even though everybody else doesn't agree, right? Even though everybody else doesn't agree. Okay. Next proposition. There is some absolute truth, right? And what absolute truths are just to kind of refresh your absolute truths are true. You know, first of all, true regardless of what anybody else believes, right? Regardless of anybody else believes. There are these truths that are true in any circumstance, any situation that changes circumstances does not determine whether the truth is true or not. So, you know, it is cloudy outside, right? This is a relative truth. It's cloudy outside when I'm standing out here beneath all these clouds. But if I had a sunny day or say it's sunny outside, right? That's a relative truth. It's in fact false, but it's relative to the conditions of the day. There are some absolute truths. This is to say that there are some of these truths that are true regardless of any other circumstance or condition. Next proposition. There are no absolute truths. There is no absolute truth, right? It's a rejection of the say every truth is dependent upon, you know, whether it's true or not, it's dependent upon the situation at hand, right? That's what makes something true or not is if, you know, is the circumstances, right? So every, so I said it is cloudy outside. Well, that's true because of these circumstances and every truth out there is like that. Okay. Next proposition. Some minds are not physical. Now, the idea here is that, I think we talked a little bit about this way, the difference between the mind and the brain, right? There are neurons that happen in your skull, right? They make connections. That's where neurons are, but your mind is something different, right? Here are neurons firing. What your mind has are beliefs, intentions, perceptions, right? Because perceptions, beliefs and intentions don't look like neurons connecting, right?  I can look at it, look at that, you know, it doesn't work that way. So there's a real mystery there about the relationship between the mind and the brain.  Non-physical. There's a difference between the mind and the brain. Brains are physical, minds are not. Brains have neurons, minds have beliefs and these two different things. Next proposition. All minds are physical. This is just to say, look, okay, you've pointed to a clever problem regarding beliefs and neurons, but we just don't know enough yet. And by the, at the end of the day, we're going to find out that, you know, or actually whether we find out or not, right? Beliefs just are neurons firing, neurons connecting. Intentions just are neurons connecting, right? That's all that, that's all that minds are, our brains. There's no difference between the two other than ones that we've imagined. Okay. So next proposition. There is an existence after physical death. So once you die, right, once your body dies, there's some sort of existence hereafter, you know, spirit, souls, what have you, however you want to talk about it. I'm not talking about like, you know, your body decaying and becoming part of a tree, right? I was like, no, that's not what I'm talking about, right? That once your body dies and decays, right, you're gone is the, is one way of looking at it. But according to this, like, no, even after death and decay, no, you continue to exist somehow as a spirit, as a soul, whatever, right? Whatever those accounts say. There is next proposition. There is some sort of existence before physical, before your physical body.  Just some kind of a candidate that you existed some, you know, Plato's form, right? You existed somehow with the forms before your physical birth or before your physical existence, right? Okay. So existence after physical death, existence before physical birth. Next proposition. And last one we're going to look at. There is no existence outside of physical life, right? Once your life, your existence is limited to and confined to your body.  Before your body existed, you didn't exist, right? You exist all and only with your body. Okay. So these are, you know, fair number of propositions here. Write down in your notes, which ones are live, right? That means what you are willing to consider evidence, for what you're willing to consider evidence. And, you know, show you down below, right? Click off which ones. Click off which ones you think are live.


I got a letter in the mail and I'm not real sure why I got it, but it was from a company called Puris and They were the letter basically explained that they have a crop. They're wanting to grow and it was yellow peas Kind of reading the letter you could do the you could you could farm this crop and use your normal combine Well, we've tried peanuts before and I think peanuts are great, but you got to have a separate combine It's a complete separate Way of farming it's the same until it comes to harvest and you can't take a well We take our you know one combine I go over three or four five thousand acres You know a peanut combine would do 300 so You know that was that was fun and and I'm not sure that we're Through doing that or not, but when this yellow peat when this letter come out on these yellow peas We're always looking for something different to grow to be more diversified If of course if it'll make any money and also a cover crop piece So the the letter said if you're interested, please contact us. So I did that they get represented for the company come down We said I'll start talking about it It's they basically take that yellow pea and and use it as a protein isolate and are able to put that in different Nutritional value foods the guy came down. We started looking at it. There's different ways you can grow them You can grow them all season long But when he when he came up with the idea that you know, you can plant them in November and harvest them in March I'm like, well, that's a perfect cover crop, you know, it's it's good for the environment You know through the cover crop ways to through production of food and also allows us to do more with less So looking at it in a in a nutshell, there was a lot of different advantages from it Don't know a lot about it It's a legume. So it's gonna it's gonna raise a lot like soybeans But yet it's gonna be in the winter. So, you know, there is some You know some dangers there if we get a really late Can't the same with wheat, you know, if we get a really late freeze when the wheat's, you know And it's reproductive stage or or, you know milk stage or whatever We'll buy that same dangers with with the peas, but we have that same danger in any crop We grow actually, you know, we're always looking for the next step If there's something we can do different I don't have anybody to go talk to in my area because this will be the first time it's ever been done There is some close, you know, I think there's some across the river, Mississippi. There's some in northeast Arkansas So we're just gonna we're gonna take 250 acres and and plant yellow peas and and see how it comes out You know worst thing worst thing we can do is the worst risk there is the cost of the seed And if it fails and you know, basically we're gonna spend some type of money on a cover crop anyway You know might not be quite the cost of the pea seed But you know the the loss the loss the risk there for the reward is a lot more reward seems like than it is risk So we we're trying it


We'll be leaving the panel powered on. Be sure to disarm your system before proceeding. Please be careful not to touch the battery or any other metal components throughout this process for your safety. And only use the included insulated screwdriver when handling electrical equipment. Before you begin, make sure you've got the right tools from your install package. You'll need a small insulated Phillips screwdriver, the 4G LTE module with the new short and long antennas. This installation will take place on the Simon XTI. The steps for upgrading your radio will be the same for the Simon XT and Simon XTI 5. First, remove the front cover. Then, open your panel by lifting the tabs and slowly swing it down on its hinge. Next, locate the old module. Disconnect the existing antenna from the gold connector. You may see two small screws holding the module in place. Remove these with your insulated screwdriver. Remove the module by lifting it from its port with the insulated screwdriver. To do this, position the screwdriver towards the top of the module. Insert and lift it from the casing. Take note of the small tabs covering the bottom left and right corners. This is where you will insert the new 4G LTE module. First, identify the black 22 pin connector on the backside of the module. This will connect face down to the black 8 pin receiver on the control panel. Insert the antenna side of the module at an angle and tuck it under the plastic tabs in the port. Once it's secured, carefully push the module into place. Next, connect the long antenna. It should snap into place into the open gold antenna connector. Thread the long antenna through the lower hole in the back cover of the panel. The shorter antenna should already be attached to your module. Remove its adhesive backing and secure it inside the lower compartment of the panel. Gently close your panel. You should hear a click when the tabs lock into place. Replace the front cover around the outside of the panel. To finalize the upgrade process, contact your service provider. And our low-cost, no-contract alarm monitoring services.


A place far away from the locality, high blue fences lined up one after another. What is it trying to hide? Black tinted van comes silently, drops a scared prisoner secretly. What is coming next? Within a second, life has been totally changed. Anxious heart, confused head and tired body. Will I be rescued? Without crime to become a criminal is not easy to accept. The handcuff hands become a nightmare. Is it a crime to seek protection without knowing the time scale of the imprisonment? Anyone can be locked up there forever. What is my crime? The most civilized society in the world? The most supremely power country of the earth? Why do you need to build a concentrate camp like that? Why do you treat us as criminals? Do we look like non-humans?


I'm really pleased to be here to join you all at this special anniversary dinner. I also must thank you all very much for honoring our invitation to be here to celebrate our country, especially on this anniversary of our independence, the 58th anniversary of our independence. I am 61 years old this year, and most of those six decades I have lived here in this country, here in Nigeria. So I think I can say that I know Nigeria quite well. A few years ago, a poll reported in the British independent newspaper declared us the happiest people on Earth. The same poll said that we were amongst the most optimistic people on Earth, despite everything that we've experienced as a nation. I agree with both assessments, in other words that we're possibly one of the happiest in the world, but I must also add that we are by far the most humorous people on the face of Earth. Well, if you don't agree with me, because I see from your unenthusiastic clapping that you may not so agree, but I can tell you so many reasons why we are the most humorous. A few months ago, an important Nigerian politician who was on his way to a trial in a court said that he was abducted, and after he escaped from his abductors, he remained hiding on a tree for 11 hours. Now the most interesting part of that story is that many people online in particular on the internet started to tell different stories of different birds and how long those birds could remain perched on a tree. All these were the Nigerian contributions to that story. Yet another very important politician insists and still insists that the most important attribute for leadership is dancing. And boy, could he dance. And for those who think that that's ridiculous, at least 200,000 people voted for him in a particular election. When I served as Attorney General, as advisor to the Attorney General of the Federation in between 1987 and 1992, I had a driver who was always broke, but he was so optimistic. He had 14 children, while I, his boss, had only one child. And I asked him, why do you keep having so many children? Of course, he had more than one wife. He said to me in Europe, I want to tell you what he said. He said, I don't know which of them can become President of Nigeria. So the more I have, the better my chances. How optimistic can you be? Only a Nigerian can be that optimistic. Only a Nigerian. Wherever we're from, wherever part of this great country we're from, whether we're from the North, the South, South, Southeast, wherever, we have the same DNA, the same DNA.  A Nigerian can say the same thing, the same thing, but if you're a foreigner, don't try. We love our food, we love our clothes, we love our merry-making, we love to be successful, we love success, we are resilient, we are fair-minded. Nigerians always fight for the underdog. We believe in justice and the rule of law, even though our system can do much better. But we are by far one of the smartest and perhaps the most talented people on earth. And I don't say that lightly. In the U.S., Nigerians are the most educated ethnic group. The most educated ethnic group. Not one of the most educated, but the most educated ethnic group. 60% of Nigerians who live in America, we are told, have college degrees, 60%. This is above the American average of 30%. So 60% of Nigerians who live there. And Nigerians are one of the highest income earners. Even there in America, and I choose America just as one example, 25% more than the median income. Nigerians earn 25% more than the median income. The world's fastest supercomputer was designed by a world-renowned inventor, Philip Emeagwali, a full-blown Nigerian. This means that Nigeria has the patent for the world's fastest computer. That's Nigeria. The wealthiest black African. It's Nigerian. It's not a good thing. We're also told that the wealthiest black woman in the world is also in Nigeria. Right? And who knows who the next wealthiest African will be here? Or the next wealthiest African. In the Nigerian family, the Mafidons, I don't know whether you ever heard of the Mafidons. They live in the UK. They've been officially declared the smartest family in that country, the smartest. A family of about six children who have excelled in the academics in incredible ways. The design of that famous car, the Chevrolet Volt, is a guy called Jelani Aliou. He now works for the Nigerian government. Super-talented Nigerian from Sokoto State. And for those who think that we're only giants in technology and business, Anthony Joshua is the world's best heavyweight boxer. For those who work boxing. Everybody is dancing to Nigerian music. And our traditional attires, especially our women's attires and headgears, have conquered Africa. Even our male attire. There's just something about that Nigerian swag. You know, there's something about it. There's something about it. You know, there's something about it. Whether they like it or not. Nigerians are just exceptional. We're just different. Anywhere you go, you'll see you in Nigeria. Don't you recognize a Nigerian when you see one? Anywhere you go, you can just tell that this one has to be a Nigerian. If you see somebody reading a book on how to become self-confident, know that it's not a Nigerian. We are born self-confident. The reason why we're so optimistic is because we know that we're the best. We know that we're going to excel. It may seem like it's taking a while, and there are many problems, but every one of the over 1,000 days that I have been vice president for, I go stronger in my complete confidence that we are going to be the envy of the whole world in a few short years. Well, you might say that that is optimistic. Why not? I'm an Nigerian. Happy Independence Day. God bless you all.


This is State Tech Hawaii, Community Matters here. And how are you doing? Welcome to E-Bakti Talk. Gordo the Texar here. Welcome for another thrilling and exciting ride in the E-Bakti Talk land. I got Rick Sifan, my sister with me. Hey Gordo. It's been a while. Yeah, yeah. It's been a while. It's good to be back. And that was fun. And we have Ray. Ray. Oh, God. I'm going to do it again. Le Roux. Le Roux. I got it right. Yeah. I'm going to do. And Ray has a really interesting background. Let him talk to you about it. But he's running for governor. I am. In the state of Hawaii. And as I've said to you before, I don't endorse any candidates, and I've had many candidates on the show for many parties. And I don't have an opinion. I just want to hear their opinions and their thoughts and so on. And I welcome any other candidate that wants to come on the show. Please come see us. We're more than happy to do that. Obviously we focus a little bit on tech, so you need to be up on that and so on. So let me ask you this first question, Ray. So where'd you grow up? So I grew up outside of Boston, Massachusetts.  Yes. Oh, we're 10 and a half years. Exactly. And I enlisted in the Marine Corps in 1980 as an infantry kid reservist, went through college after I graduated from college commissioned into the Marine Corps and left New England at that time and spent 30 years in the Marine Corps from there on. 13 of it spent here on active duty and because of that, my children went through this public school system and they consider it home today. So what schools did they go to? Kailua Intermediate and Kalaheo High School. And then I came here, my last job, Chief of Staff at Marine Force is Pacific and then retired out of that job and have never left Hawaii. Never left Hawaii. I don't know. When it grabs you, it just grabs you. It's as expensive as it is. So my next question is, I've got to ask it of anybody because, you know, well, we just met. So everything is, we just met. So we haven't had a chance to sit down, talk or break bread together. No, I watched your show a few times. Yeah. We quickly had a chance. So what even possesses you to want to run for governor? Well, I'd be lying if I said you were the first person to ask me that question. In fact, all the folks that I needed to collect guidance from or my mentors had the same question, though none of them have tried to talk me out of it. But you really have to do. And it took me a couple of weeks once asked if I would run to really do that soul searching. And when I looked at the political landscape today, and I look at the state of the state, if you will, in many different factors, my sense was that any vote would be a vote for the status quo. And a status quo vote right now and what I would consider a state of dire need just does not move us in any measurable way into any sort of prosperous or growth economy type of an environment. And then I looked at, you know, just the monopoly that is the Democratic Party here. And I think for the Hawaii voter, they just should have a choice. They should have a freshness of voice. It's part of the system and let them make their own minds up. Even our congressional delegation is all one party. It's all one party. It's all one party. And we're going to talk about tech in a little bit. Sure. I wish we had an hour show now for this, but I agree with you on this. We've had this single-party system here for decades. And yet we still... Since back to what? 18 arms are not 18, but 19 to it at least. Statehood. Yeah. Statehood. And we had a Republican governor, Linda Lingle, a number of years ago, but she was surrounded by a fully Democrat Senate in the House. And I'm not picking one party versus the other, but it's just the nature of the beast is what will happen. But let's come back and take a look here at things. So you were involved with the Department of Education. I was. So you've been in the system. I have been in the system. I was the assistant superintendent office of school facility support services, which is all the facilities development, repair and maintenance, new build projects, school security and safety, food services, which is school lunch, school transportation. Didn't you have something to do with it? Because you came in, there was an audit that was done that you came in afterwards. So I got parachuted right into post-audit. Oh, the training was helpful. With the, you know, the legislature had just slashed the transportation budget because it was just skyrocketing out of control. The audit put that forward and they had just canceled bus services for almost 2,000 students. I remember the fiasco that was going to happen. That's when I got a hold of the issue and said, okay, where do we, where do we start? And we brought that now into a model that actually does provide what I would consider contemporary bus transportation for almost the, you know, the ninth or tenth largest school district in the nation. And it does it with all the market drivers that do escalate insurance, gas, et cetera. But it's got contemporary modality to it when I say, and what I mean by that is routing software, looking at it, just taking a forensic look at all of the things that guide routes so that you have an efficient system. So you make better decisions to look at it, right out of the gate and probably overall in the model, upwards around 10 to 20 as you go on.  So you've had experience. So my point is I want to be able to realize it's not like you're just coming in from the outside. You've been in it. You've seen it. We all feel our pain together. But it sounds like you've brought a technology to the job that perhaps wasn't there before to be able to make better decisions and make those better decisions faster than was And I think you're going to apply that to almost any situation. For instance, there are in 2018, but the advance of technology, for instance, and you look at best practices, and there are best practices. And you should have no shame in stealing those best practices at all.  I mean, too, metrics. Exactly. Well, all I do is I take what everybody else does, and you've been part of the DOE, and so what are your perspectives on the education system in Hawaii? So I'm an optimist by trade. So when I look at this DOE, and it's about 257 schools, 30-some-odd charter schools, it's got a $1.9 billion operating budget. It's got about a half a billion biennium capital budget. And when you look at the fringe, which by the way in 2018 in this session just went up to 56.5%. So you add all that up. Ostensibly you'd think you'd have a pretty good system and a delivery of education. 57%. Yeah, and we're not. In fact, there are great and high-performing schools, and parents aren't sending us their worst kids, and we're not hiring the worst teachers. But our kids aren't failing, but the system is failing our kids. So while we put all of these one-trick pony or two-trick pony reform initiatives and with some pretty catchy phrases and whatnot, they've done nothing with regards to having a kid matriculate through that system and come out on the other side. So what we have to do, and the rest of the world understands this, look at Finland, is you have to look at student-centered learning. While we were doing all of that, by the way, America changed. The way that a kid learns, the way that a kid is going to collaborate with the kid next to him. You and I grew up with a learning wall and a horseman kind of a model with 30 seats facing the wall. That doesn't work anymore. So where I think we've failed is that, first of all, in a system like ours, the first thing that I would say has to happen, where's all the money going? There has to be a fiscal transparency. Don't have a huge amount of administrators within the DOE. I mean, I'm hearing numbers that we spend more on administrators than teachers. I don't know if that's true or not, because everybody spends it one way or another. It can get into the hyperbole kind of conversation, but there are a lot of administrators. Are they all needed? That would have to be looked at. But as you know, we are, and I'll say it, we are extremely and umbilically connected to how the labor unions look at those job positions. And how does that work? You talked about how the system is failing the student. Right. But what ran through my mind, as you were saying that, is it strikes me that the system is also failing the teacher. Because they're leaving the state. And if you talk to teachers, and I do, even with their entry salary is not bad. I mean, there are teachers leaving Hawaii going to other districts on the main line of making less, but the cost of living meets that. Yes, right. But they would even absorb some of that crappy pay, if you will, for the cost of living if they had freedom in the classroom. In other words, the one size fits all, which is one size fits nothing. Right. Testing to the test, or teaching to the test kind of mentality, or not having the freedom and trust from the leadership starting at the principal complex area superintendent all the way into the central office. If a teacher understands every child in that seat that they have been chartered to deliver education to then let them do it. There's oversight, there's boundaries, there's checks and balances. But if we want empowered schools, in other words, empowering teachers to deliver that type of education that kid in the seat needs, let them do it. If we just template them and tell them what to do, kids learn differently from each other. Yeah, so I say, to have empowered school, you have that trust. If you don't have that, you're not going to have the innovation that has to come on board, especially in the tech world. And we need principles that get support from the parents. And I'll go back there, so go, underlying is still parents. Mom and dad, you better both be involved. If you're involved in your child, you'll definitely be involved, so that's a must. So we'll come back as schools in the system.  You all right? No worries. You don't have to be there. I know. So, E.Gay, in one of his speeches, said that he was going to create 80,000 new tech and innovation jobs, paying $80,000 in work in 2030. Now, I did the inflation man, and that still gives me McDonald's pay. So I mean, and I'm not going to be around 2030 to challenge him that he may or may not have made it. So what is it we need to do to encourage the creation of tech within the schools and then having the kids stay here? Yeah, so, well, first of all, don't sell yourself short. That's only 12 years from now. So, but that's also a bold statement to make. $80,000, as you know, $93,000 is a new medium income for a family here in Hawaii. So you're starting up below. So that means that you're still, well, in 10, 20 years? Yeah, you're still below today's poverty level. But what I would ask the governor, and I will, is how do you propose to do that? And when you start looking at Hawaii as a state, we are 50th in the nation with regards to being kind to new business, either small business or corporate business. So how are you going to incentivize the Elon Musk's of the world to come to Hawaii and build their innovation or think centers? You're not. There's got to be an incentive. There's got to be what is good for, because in a private public partnership like that, both of those partners have to have a benefit, right? And I don't think it's impossible, but you've got to loosen a lot of the friction and inhibitors that right now, businesses won't come here. I know Act 2.2.1 was there, and it was a good law with some bad pieces in it. Sure. But instead of just fixing the bad pieces in the law, they just expanded the law. Yeah. Which then just through the whole thing. And, you know, Elon Musk will set up his business somewhere else. I used to set him just because it came to my mind.  But if you look at the... Built it someplace else, you know, if you look at the rate of technology right now. So for people my age, that curve was manageable, right? I went from rotary dial to push button to cell phone. And we've all kept up, right? I mean, sometimes you got to catch up a little bit more. I'm not sure, but... Yeah. I find myself sure. That's OK. But the kids today, K-12 kids and kids in undergrad programs, that's a steep curve. And if you just look at the advances, for instance, in nanotechnology and biotechnology and how those are going to intersect and how they're going to rule the day. And I would say in five years from now. I mean, if you look at the artificial intelligence, the sensors that they're using, that technology and that whole foods that they just opened up in Seattle where you just walk in and you put your stuff in your basket and you walk out. Walk out and you walk out. And it's all done. The mobility revolution that is happening. It's changing our whole mindset. OK, so hang on a sec. So 14 minutes is done. Yeah, OK. We're done already. So we're going to take a short break, pay some bills. Got Ray LaRue here running for governor, state of Hawaii. Good background. I do want to talk to you about Air Force One, though. We're going to mention that in the second half. So we'll be back in a minute. This is Think Tech Hawaii, raising public awareness. Excitement builds. Game plans are made with responsibility in mind. Celebrations are underway. Ready for kickoff. MLS clubs and our supporters rise to the challenge. We make responsible decisions while we cheer on our heroes and toast their success. Elevate your match day experience. If you drink, never drive. So I'm Yukari Kunisue. I'm your host of New Japanese Language Show on Think Tech Hawaii. Called Konnichiwa, Hawaii. Broadcasting live every other Monday at 2 PM. Please join us, where we discuss important and useful information for the Japanese language community in Hawaii. The show will be all in Japanese. Hope you can join us every other Monday at 2 PM. Aloha. Hey, aloooha. How you doing? Gorda the Texar. Iwashi talk. Bricks the turn of politics. Cool. Welcome to the web. Ray LaRue, who's running for governor of the state of Hawaii, has some interesting fresh perspectives on some things that are going on. And before we took the break, we were talking about business in Hawaii and tech business in Hawaii. And if you have a question, you can call us at<PHONE_NUMBER>. I just gave that number out. My brother's going to call probably. No,<PHONE_NUMBER> from the shed. Anyway, so we're talking about business in Hawaii. So I reached out to this company in the Midwest because I want to do something here. And this is their response. And I'm going to leave a word out. It says, thank you for reaching out to the name of the company. Unfortunately, Hawaii is not such a such friendly state related to business. Please keep in touch for further update. So I got immediately rejected from a Midwest organization where I have an idea on how they're doing it in other states. I have an idea to bring business into here. And they already know if they don't want to come here. In fact, you can almost fill in the blank business or not even have the blank and just say business-friendly because it is not. And even some of what I would consider low-tech small business, not even getting into the technology sphere, a lot of the folks that I've talked to on the Big Island in Maui who are small business owners, I sat down and said, what are the inhibitors? And there are many. And there's no, if you would, freshman, sophomore, junior, kind of senior advancement to a small.  There should be a graduated entry into that sustainment of how you're going to pay the taxes. So I think Hawaii has a huge opportunity for tech promotion, not only in the US but in Asia because of our relationships there. We are the gateway to the Pacific right now. If you look at the advances of technology in other markets such as China, Singapore, Japan, certainly, and now Korea, you can just see that flying out of any one of their airports and coming into our airport. And we as people that call Hawaii their home, we love our little airport.  But then you get on the wiki-wiki. If you're coming in internationally, you're like, I just came from Incheon. There was no wiki-wiki. In fact, there was a magnet train. So I mean, yeah. It was a magnet and got me from here to the other. Oh, now here we go down the rail. So tech careers in Hawaii, it'll be a challenge. It's only a challenge if you're not willing to do the investment. In other words, you've got to sit down. You've got to find it. You've got to recruit this business and make it such that Hawaii is the place where you want to build your think tank, your innovation center. If you go back to my earlier comment of where there's nanotechnology and biotechnology is, for instance, if you look at some of the advancement of microprocessors right now, I mean, they're building processors or at least about to build processors that are 1-tenth the size of a human hair that have the consistency of jello. And this is not too far out there. But if you read some of the folks and if you follow DARPA at all and some of the things that they do, I mean, what if you inject this microprocessor into your body and the whole, oh, by the way, this microprocessor has the computing power, more computing power than anything that we know right now. And its sole purpose was just to hunt down irregular cells in your body and then zap them. What have you just done? We've just turned our lives into living 200 years old. Well, we'll have to deal with that later. We're going to be the associates. But my point is that technology and the advancement and how it's going to touch every phase of our life. And right now, if you can write an algorithm for a task, that job is gone. But what are the other jobs that are going to be born out of that? And that's where we can capitalize. And these kids coming through a K through 12 system, they know that. They know this. But if we are continuously in our public education system, and maybe even our private, because I don't know, we're preparing for our past. And that can't be sustained either. So say that thing. I think you just said something there. You said the way we're educating I would interpret it. The way we're educating our children today is for the past. I believe so. And not for the future. Correct. In fact, our past. What we think their future is. You know what? Having grandkids and seeing where they are within the system. And it's not the teacher's fault. I agree. But I think some of it is, or another is, we know that some of the private schools have 3D printers. We don't know that there's any 3D printers in any of the public schools. So I would guess it may. I mean, I reinterpret it as how I could. And there may be a question. The things of where, yes, we are. We are perhaps with our public school system educating in the past. And I'm just throwing this out. There are a way to. Like I said, high-performing schools in our system were principal leaders have said, you know what? I know what I need to do. Why not? Why not? Radford. Radford. Oh, yeah. People think of all these schools as really problem schools, but they've got some incredibly technical students. Early 2000s, Radford was one of our poorest performing high schools, and now it's one of our highest. Yes. Because of technology. And well, not only that, it's just, again, we're not sending our worst kids to school and we're not hiring the worst teachers. So what is the problem? I'll tell you, the problem is we've systemically looked at the wrong things. And one size fits all does not fit anything. And then when you start looking at the budget and how we're allocating and otherwise encumbering that budget is upside down as well. So if school empowerment means trust at that school leader position, then that should have some authority in the fiscal authority as well. In other words, the central office controls all of that budget process. They'll tell you that most of that is from 97 cents of every education dollar is going to the classroom. Not so. No, I don't believe that. And we've got four, essentially four districts, right? We have one district. One district. And 15, what you can call, what we call complex areas. OK, complex areas. Complex areas. They used to be districts, but they're now complex areas. So I guess the hierarchy or the chain of command from the central office would be superintendent, a layer of assistance, assistance superintendents, 15 complex area superintendents spread out through the state. And under those hang all the schools. All the schools. So to me, that's kind of an issue, the fact that you've got, why can't they be independent? It's my kind of thought. So I believe in that. And you could, like every other state, has multiple school districts. We are the oldest public school system in the nation, by the way. I don't know if you know that. I did not. And we are about the 10th largest, depending on the census, but anywhere from now. 10th largest, just waiting for where we're standing. The only island nation, the only state that is a state-run district. In other words, you will have your state Department of Education. Every state has one to include ours. Underneath that, like for Ohio, has something like 1,000 school districts, so 1,000 superintendents. More like counties. Yeah, some are very big, some are very rural. But we have a large system. But to split that up, to get back to your point, I believe they tried to do this during the Lingle administration. There are some things within an island state that need to be centralized so that the principal doesn't have that on their plate.  Principles shouldn't have to worry about paying their utility bill. They should pay attention to how they're using electricity, but they shouldn't have to worry about trash coming out of their school. Those things should just be centralized. Let principals teach, educate, manage your teachers, and deliver education. Let the central office take care of how to do that in their plants. If you tried to replicate those central services on each of those districts, if you split it up, let's just say five districts, the way that the state typically does it, we don't have the resources to do that. Because of the way we do it. I'm going to hear a resource. Does that mean more people? Five school boards, five central offices, five. You replicate everything five times. OK, but where? I saw it. This is a whole other story. So what about the relationship between the University of Hawaii, the community colleges, and the NOE? So Waipahu is doing some great things with regards to getting kids that qualify college credits through the community colleges. In the system, the program existed before. But what Guy's done is he's got the college to come to them versus trying to find the resources and funds to get the kids to go to the colleges. In other words, transportation is always a big factor. So I think that's just a model program that they're doing in Waipahu. With regards to how UH intersects with everything else, especially in the tech world, I don't think it's enough. And where we really should be intersecting is with their College of Education. We as a state, with a teacher shortage, should be, OK, what are the incentives that we're going to provide to students in the College of Education to commit to the Department of Education for, say, five years? There's ways to do this that have not been tabled, discussed, or anything else. Instead, we recruit on the mainland. We hope we get the recruitment coming out of the College of the Jed. But there should be incubator programs. There should be a lot of things immersed in our DOE with the College of Education. And by that, we're going back to the cookie-cutter situation we had before. We were just trying to make everybody fit into this box. And if we get our scores are high, then we're OK. Here's another. You look at some of the disciplines where we are in dire need on in the state. Just take physician's assistance. Take teachers. If we've got a very large military spouse population that roll in and out of here every three or four years, a lot of those spouses are teachers, coming from other accreditations in other states. If you're coming from Massachusetts and you've got a Boston teacher credential, which is one of the toughest in the nation to get, and you come to Kanioa Bay, Hawaii, or Schofield Barracks, and you can't get a teaching permit in Hawaii. In other words, there's something wrong. Oh, yeah, there's definitely something wrong. It's like transferring credits to the University of Hawaii. It should be very, very one-step simple. It should be simple, simple. OK, we're going to digress for just one minute. So you have an interesting thing in your career. So you've been a Marine for 30 years. And I got to ask you this. So you flew Air Force One for multiple presidents. Marine One. Marine One, OK. Marine One for multiple presidents. That means landing on the backyard of the White House. Yes. Yes. The law. So how was that? So it never got old. In fact, I've done plenty of interviews on this subject. And people always ask, where is your favorite place to land? What's the most fun you've, well, it's always fun aside from the responsibility of it all. But whenever, and I said this on another program not too long ago, when you come up the Potomac. Oh, I've seen them coming up. And it doesn't matter if it's night, day, winter, or summer. And you get to make that right turn at the Washington Monument and set up on the backyard of the White House. It just never, ever got old. I'm getting chicken skins just here. And you talk about it. Oh, that's pretty awesome. So is there a website where we can find out? There is. It's TrustBackInGovernment.org. So it's TrustBackInGovernment.org. I thought it was a little long, but I thought it was succinct. It's there. That definitely will hold true. And we give every one of our guests an autographed solo cup. So when you're up there accepting your, when you're the governor, and you're accepting it, I would expect this cup to be sitting there. You just hear your marketing people going, no way. Thank you very much. Thank you so much, Ray. I will bring it back on November 7. All right, awesome. That's great. So good luck out there. Thank you, sir. Thank you for doing this. Yeah, it's a steep climb, but it's one I believe in. All right, I'm looking forward to it. I'm looking forward to seeing this. Yeah, I'm looking forward to be there, you know, and bringing the libation to pour into your cup. Very good, perfectly all set. I didn't know you were Republican with the Berkeley. Anyway, this is Gordon of the Tech Star. We've got Rick's the Fun Leister. Ray LaRue. Ray LaRue. I'm going to get it right. Ray LaRue, who's running for governor of the state of Hawaii. LaRue. LaRue, LaRue. Yeah, Ray LaRue, running for governor of the state of Hawaii. And we'll have him back on the show, please. In a not too distant future. And like we say at the end of every show, one, two, three. How are you doing?


Hi, this is Nicolas from ST Microelectronics. This video is addressed to people new to ST Microelectronics and to our STM32 microcontrollers. In this video, I will present you one of our tools called the STM32 Q-Monitor RF, also known as STM32 Q-Mon RF. So what is the STM32 Q-Monitor RF? This tool can perform RF tests on our STM42 WB microcontrollers. It supports BLE, OpenFread, and 82.15.4 radiofrequency. The STM32 Q-Monitor RF can connect to any ST reference boards or any other user development application using STM32 WB through UART or USB Virtual Comports. Let's look at some BLE features. You can send HCI and ACI commands. It can be used to read status. The tool supports direct test mode commands. It can display remote devices BLE profile. You can interact with remote devices BLE services. The STM32 Q-Monitor RF can even be used to configure static and dynamic beacons. It also manages OTA file transfer and secure software update. This is a powerful BLE scripting command tool and can be used to quickly set up connectable or non-connectable central or peripheral devices. Now let's look at some OpenFread features. The STM32 Q-Monitor RF can send CLI commands, read status, and also provides dynamic list of OpenFread standardized commands. The tool supports batch files, macro-record, loop, and variable for automatic test sequence execution. You can run the STM32 Q-Monitor RF on Windows, Linux, and macOS. Where do you find the STM32 Q-Monitor RF? Very easy on our website at ST.com. On the search menu, search for STM32 Q-Mon RF as shown here. Make a search that will bring you to this page and then click on Get Software. This will bring you to this location where you can select the Linux version, Mac version, or Windows version. If you are looking for additional information about the STM32 Q-Monitor RF and the STM32 WB, I invite you to look at a video done by my colleague about Q-Monitor RF, so that will go more like in details. So look at all the different features and how to use it. I also invite you to look at our STM32 WB Getting Started series with 14 videos. I added the link to the video and the video series in the description of this video. Thank you very much for watching.


A lot of times in life, we tend to focus on the exterior to determine our happiness. And the thing is, is like, it's not our fault, it's just the way that we've been conditioned. It's the way that society runs. We say, oh, we'll be happy when we get that job or that house or that relationship or that money or fill in the freaking blank. And so we focus so freaking hard on those things that we actually give our power away to them. Everything that determines our life and our happiness is out of our control. The second that you start to understand and focus on yourself and that that will affect all areas of your life, you start to regain your power. And this is otherwise known as your self concept, the way that you view yourself in every situation and every relationship and every scenario. Another way to look at this is your self worth, understanding that truly to change your life and to take that control back. The only freaking thing yo, the only thing you need to do is focus on your self concept. Because when you do that, everything else falls into place. Okay, I promise. So I want to talk about this movie and you've probably seen it. And if you haven't, how do you reckon watching it called Yes, Man with Jim Carrey? Now, I've seen this film before plenty of times, but I never watch it after going through my spiritual awakening and I'm watching it, right?  So while obviously the gist and the concept of the movie is, you know, saying yes to everything, right? It heavily shows examples of how when you're focusing on yourself and when you're focusing on things internally, your whole life changes. You become so much more loving and loved and happy and fulfilled and all the things that we all want.  So in the beginning of the film, right, Jim Carrey, I forgot what his character's name is, but he is miserable. He is unhappy. He is depressed. He is like, look, like total effector, right? Like I'm like, ew, I would never want to be around a person like that.  Like he's just totally focused on mostly his divorce that it happened. And so he had put all his power and all of his happiness within that woman that left him and then divorced him. So something outside of him, right? When he was focused on that situation instead of himself, he over time became wired for being unhappy. And if you want more information on how that wiring in your brain works, I'll link his video right here so you can check that out after this one. But I believe in the film, it's three years, like three years have gone by since they got divorced.  You know, it can be difficult and unfamiliar and uncomfortable to make the decision to choose yourself. It can feel unfamiliar to make the decision to change and unfamiliar and difficult to move in the direction of choosing yourself. But I think one of the key pieces here is to let go of the pressure of having to change your whole life in an instant. It's taking it step by step and day by day. It's one small tweak here, one little small change there. You know, it's a marathon, okay? It's not a sprint, you know? It's not a sprint, it's a marathon. Now, I don't know the exact timeline that this film is supposed to cover, but to me just from watching it, it seems like it's about a year-ish. You know, it's not something that just happens overnight, right? Like, it takes time for him to get in the groove of choosing these experiences and choosing himself and finding that happiness within himself, which then reflects everywhere else in his life. It's consistent work and choices every single day.  It's not. It's gonna take work, but would you rather work to be happy or continue working to be unhappy? It really comes down to that simple decision. Like, only you can make that decision for yourself. But I'm thinking that if you're subscribed to my channel, then you'll want to be happier.  And sometimes you're gonna slip, and it's cool. I slip, I psh. I get cranky so often y'all don't even know, okay? But back to the film, you know, it was, it was scary for him to especially make that first decision when he gave that homeless man a ride, right? Like, he was like, what the fuck? But he did it. Then he ended up running out of gas in the middle of nowhere. You know, throughout the movie, you see him transforming from this negative, angry, miserable person to completely having a different vibe, a different outlook, a more positive outlook on life, to the point where more people are drawn to him friends, women, experiences, like all that he did was change from within. Okay, give himself a shot, take his power back from his divorce. And as he started to love and bring joy within himself, it drew those things from the exterior to him, the more that you focus on things that bring you joy and make you happy and make you feel loved and fulfilled and all those positive things that we all desire to feel.  Like our baseline mood. And I'll put that here if you want to check it out after this. But, you know, the more you make these decisions to make yourself happy, the easier it is to feel joy and the more consistently you feel happy.  It's really hard, but you just have to take it one step at a time. Another thing I want to point out is it's not always this like linear path, right? You know, sometimes you take 10 steps forward and then you take three steps back. I know I sure do, but overall taking steps forward is what's going to get you where you want to be ultimately. But the thing is, is all the matters, right? All that matters. All you need to do to bring more joy and love and abundance and blah, blah, blah, blah, all the good things, all good shit, right?  Choose you to love you just as you are now. Focus on yourself. Focus on the things that bring you happiness and joy. That's it. That's your assignment. Okay, that is your assignment for the next week. Okay?  I don't care if it's a cup of tea, have it. And on top of choosing yourself and loving yourself, you need to release the things from your past that are holding you back from moving forward in your life and bringing you joy.  Like why are you doing that to yourself? It makes no sense. Just stop. Stop doing it. Let it go. Okay? Let it go. That's all I know.  Let it go. Even beliefs that you've had in the past change them. The things that keep you stuck and prevent you from moving forward. Say sayonara. Sayonara, motherfucker. Bye. You know what else is really cool about self-concept in the universe that are very much shown in this movie is that the better you treat yourself, the more that you love yourself, the better the world and other people treat you as well. So like towards the end of the film, right? Jim Carrey is supposed to throw his best friend's fiance a bridal shower and he completely forgets. But all of those people that he connected with throughout the rest of the film prior to this shower showed up for him. They came together and they helped him put on this bridal shower in time for this person. He showed up for them and they showed up for him. The better you treat others, the better you treat yourself, the better you treat the world and the planet and animals and plants and people and all the things, you will see that in return. And no one, I'm sorry to say, no one can do it for you.  You can't force it on other people. I can't force it on you. Okay, like in the film, in the beginning of the film, his friends are trying to force him to change and guess what that does? It creates pushback, reverse psychology.  No, so I can't sit here and force you to make these changes. But I hope that this will inspire you to understand that like you, you got the power. Wait, isn't that a Jim Carrey movie too? What is that film? The one where he's God with Morgan Freeman? I love Morgan Freeman. He's like my favorite actor. Oh, Bruce Almighty. Bruce Almighty, whatever. I'm going off in a tangent now. They're just like two of my favorite actors in one movie, you know? But regardless of, you know, his friends trying to push him, right? Nothing changes until he decides. When he makes a decision to attend this convention. That is when change in him begins. And here's a little tip too. Like not only did he attend the convention, not only should you watch this YouTube video and other videos and read this books, but you have to take action, okay? And I just don't agree with all of these spiritual teachers on here that say, you know, you don't have to take any action. It should be inspired action.  So like, do something about it. You know, it's powerful to research and to saturate your mind with all of this kind of information and motivational content and learning. Like, look, that's all I do every day. It's all I do. It's all I enjoy doing. I probably watch 10 YouTube videos a day. I'm reading four books right now. Like, I get it, okay?  If you don't implement those things and utilize them to actually make the changes and do the things that you're learning about. It's not going to do anything. You watching this video right now is not going to change your life unless you do something about it. Like, check this out. Like, even in the ending of the video, his wife, his ex-wife, comes crying back to him. But because his self-concept is so high at that point, he's not interested. He turns her down. When in the beginning of the film, he would have friggin' dropped to the floor at the chance of being back with his ex-wife because it was for the wrong reasons. It was because he was putting the value of himself in her, in that relationship. And by the end of the film, when she comes crawling back, that's no longer the case. He doesn't need her to feel loved and happy and joyful anymore. And that is my goal for you and for making this film. And good. No, making this YouTube video. So I hope you guys enjoyed this video. I love you so much. If you haven't already, please don't forget to like and subscribe so we can hang out again next week. I love you guys so much and don't forget, be limitlessly, I can't snap at this end, be limitlessly yourself, okay?


Hi. Well, I'm Stephen Eschiband. I want to tell you a little bit about obtaining an analytical expression for the reversible adiabatic expansion of an ideal gas. So the situation looks kind of like this. I've got an ideal gas here at a certain temperature, pressure, and volume. We're going to call those the reference temperature, pressure, and volume. It undergoes this slow, reversible expansion to a new temperature, pressure, and volume, and with no exchange of heat. So that's what makes it an adiabatic expansion. So we know that this gas is going to cool down as a result of that. There's a number that's going to figure importantly in here, what we call the reduced heat capacity, Cb, the heat capacity of constant volume. It's called, which is just Cb divided by n times the gas constant. And in an indicator diagram, this is kind of what we're looking at. I've drawn a couple of boil curves here, this volume and pressure there. So these are boil isotherms. Starting temperature, T-Ref, and here's the final temperature, which I'm just calling T, to annotate the rest of this way. This would be called P-Ref, and that would be V-Ref. And we're going to a final volume and a final pressure given by those values. Okay, so analysis has drawn help because this is an adiabatic reversible expansion. The gas is going to cool down. I've drawn it crossing over to cooler isotherms. That is to say that's the reference temperature and then the final temperature is going to be colder. So how do we go about this? Well, I'm assuming that we're starting off with this equation that we previously obtained, and here it goes something like this. The relative change in the temperature for a small step along this way, dT over T, would be equal to 1 over C, that was that reduced heat capacity, times the relative change in the volume. So if this were 10%, or rather if this were a 10% reduction, an increase in volume, we would see that after multiplying by 1 over C, we could get the percent reduction in the temperature. Okay, so how do we work this up to a whole story from V ref to V? Well, obviously we ought to integrate. So that's what I've kind of drawn here. The integral of 1 over the temperature is just the log temperature, the integral of that. Now I've assumed that this is a constant heat capacity. So I've just left it like that and it turns into a log V. Now that would be the definite integrals once we say that we're going to evaluate that from the starting to finishing points, then that log T will turn a log T over T ref. We have a minus C log V over V ref. Nothing surprising here, I hope. What's normally done here is that we take that minus 1 over C and make it an exponent of the argument of the log, because that way we can take exponent of both sides, and that's what this turns into. So T over T ref, which is what appeared here, equals V over V ref raised to the minus 1 over C. And this is our result that we're looking for here, because it says if I know how the volume, how much volume increased over the starting volume, and I know it's heat capacity, then I can tell you what the new temperature is relative to the original temperature. Okay.


This is the VOA Special English Technology Report. A talking kitchen teaches students how to cook French and speak French. Researchers at the Newcastle University in Britain have developed the French Digital Kitchen. Professors Paul Seidhouse and Patrick Oliver led the project. Professor Seidhouse says it works like a satellite navigation system in a car. The sat nav speaks to you and it tells you, for example, to turn left. And if you turn left, then it continues with the program. If, for example, you turn right, then it's a mistake. So it loops back and gives you further instructions. The kitchen equipment and tools use motion sensor technology similar to the Nintendo Wii game system. The sensors help a computer guide the students through instructions in French. The system can tell whether you've done what you were asked to do or not. So let's say, for example, the system tells you to take some butter and cut it with a knife. The sensor in the knife not only knows that the knife is moving, but it also knows what motion the knife is making. Students can ask the computer to repeat the instructions or translate them into English. There are vocabulary lessons before and after the cooking. Professor Seidhouse became interested in the idea after he visited a talking kitchen designed for a different purpose. It was actually for communicating with people who suffer from dementia. It can tell them, for example, that they've left the oven on. He says the French digital kitchen turns the process of learning language into a real life experience. But the idea, known as task-based language learning, required a few changes as the researchers were designing the system. For example, if they had a sink full of water, as soon as people finished cooking with an instrument, they would throw it into the water. For us, that's deadly because the digital sensors were immediately ruined. The system could be available for sale by the end of 2012. Adding the technology to a new kitchen could add an estimated 10 to 20% to the building costs. The system could also be added to an existing kitchen. The researchers are also developing portable versions. And the European Union has given them money to begin programs in six other languages, including English, Italian, and Spanish. For VOA Special English, I'm Carolyn Presuti. You can find links to videos about the talking kitchen at voaspecialenglish.com.
