A senior advocate of Nigeria, S.A.N., Prof. Paul Ananaba, has advocated for all election petitions to be concluded within 60 days and before solenade. The Supreme Court had on Thursday affirmed pre-stembolati numbu's election, one and seventy-one days after the opposition people's Democratic Party PDP and the Labour Party LP launched their appeals seeking to invalidate its February 25, 2023 wane. But Ananaba is not happy with the length of the legal torso and believes election petitions should be concluded before solenade. His comment comes over 100 days after numbu was sworn in as Nigeria's president. Joining us live is legal practitioner Habas Idiu. Barista, welcome to Plus Politics, a technical glitch. We're going to short break and come back. Hello Barista, are you back now? Yes. Fantastic. Good evening. Good evening. Thank you for grazing the show. What's the response to the suggestion by the senior advocate of Nigeria? It's eminently desirable in the best circumstances to have all election petitions concluded definitely before swearing in. But our judiciary has significant challenges which would make that tricky to achieve. So as compared to other jurisdictions or other countries, our judges still take evidence long hand. They have to write everything down and the challenges of proving election malpractices which you have to bring witnesses from polling units, individual polling units. It's a huge task to assemble all of your witnesses across the country and to present all of that evidence within 60 days. So therein lies the challenge we have in Nigeria. And if we tweak the law to enable petitioners to deal with fewer witnesses, then that could be achieved. Yes. I said it would be very difficult to achieve without a fundamental amendment of the law with regards to witnesses that the petition needs to pull forward to establish this case. Okay. Could it be the fact that the adversarial nature of our jurisprudence across, you know, maybe on election matters, maybe we should be going in the direction of practicing or using something more inquisitorial where an entity like INEC will not be seeing itself, defending itself, but helping the judicial authority to establish the veracity of what really happened. Because it does seem what we practice now, if your pocket is not loaded, you may not even have the way with all to garner all the requisite evidences you need to invalidate, invalidate the pronouncement of victory for somebody else. What do you think? Absolutely. You have made a fine point there. However, there are benefits to the adversarial system as well as the visitorial system. What we have as a major drawback is the fact that the adversarial system, like you do think that considering what's before us and our recent experience, lawmaking should be looking at reducing that time frame via the constitution, via a constitutional amendment to say all of these matters should be concluded and for the evidence that should be given, but maybe it could be an abridged version of this evidence so that petitioners can quickly prove their case and verdicts could be given well before swearing in. Some persons have also suggested the idea that the elections could be over, didn't say nine months before. Sorry, Nain. I know for some people that in itself is off putting, that is too much of a gap between one election score. But I know that the politics may not be many, but in say one of these Latin American countries is taking about six months. Even in Nigeria we have three months before the president-elect or the governor-elect has won it. So maybe we should just elongate the time a little bit more, say five to six months so that all legal disputations and litigations would have been settled before swearing in. What do you think about that? Absolutely. That sounds like a good idea if it's put to test. However, there are significant obstacles to getting that on the way. For instance, how would you win an election and then it would take nine months before you were sworn in? I mean, we know what happens in Nigeria as soon as a victor is declared winner. All governance stops. So for instance, if a governor-elect has won the election, he immediately starts to operate as a prior government. It will lend up the incumbent administration that nothing tangible will be achieved. I quite agree with you. But what about a barista? We may just be cheating eczema at the expense of skin cancer when we are not even looking deeply into some of the recommendations of always a committee because some of the fundamental causes of the problems we tend to have are quite more than the votes cast or the activities of the day of election itself. For example, three days ago, the incumbent president nominated for Senate's confirmation 10 national electoral commissioners. And if you really look at it, the president is also a partisan at some point. These people would be involved in managing an election that he may be part of. What's the take of that? Well, unfortunately, it is the prerogative of the president to nominate the resident electoral commissioners who might go by the constitution. Of course, the national assembly has a role to play. In recent years, we haven't seen the effectiveness of the national assembly in those areas. But definitely, if the president nominates people who are lacking in integrity, the national assembly should step in and reject those nominations and demand that the proper people forward. It should be a significant disadvantage of having the kind of presidential system that we run in this country because the president virtually has all the powers to do as he wishes to despite the fact that he may be a player in the same game. So you have a player referee who does not quite give much credibility to the game itself. Absolutely.  And indeed, the immediate past president and incumbent president seemed to have vociferously supported some of the recommendations of the waste committee when those recommendations were given. Why is it that we are still stuck where we are? Well, unfortunately, the paradox in Nigeria is that the people who are meant to implement these recommendations or these laws are usually people that stand to benefit the most or lose out the most if these things are implemented. So there's always a skewed approach to implementing some of these things. And the national interest isn't a priority. It's usually personal interest which makes these things look the way they eventually turn out. My personal opinion would be that those recommendations were the best interest of this country and they should be implemented as speedily as possible. But the president still has a huge say in all of this and unless his interest isn't particularly affected we might not see these recommendations in the light of day. What's the president? Maybe I'm too addicted to East 2. But this is even a recent East 2. There was a president who after he won, after he was declared the winner at the Swerin ceremony, there could be, we may sometimes have people with higher values and greater predisposition to a country than selfish this thing. Or am I just being delusional maybe because I'm not a politician? Well, you're not being delusional. I think you're looking out for the best interest of the country. However, we have noticed that as time has gone on, the quality of intervention when it comes from top people in politics has gone down. We're not having a lot of national interest at play when decisions of this nature have to be taken. But then again, all of this depends on how effective the national assembly is because the national assembly should do its job to balance the powers of the executive. I believe if the national assembly puts down its foot, some of these things would take shape. However, we have a national assembly who is more interested in being in bed with the executive and not offending the president. So until something is done in that regard, we may have more of the same. Sorry for taking you in directions that you may have not prepared for but you are alluding to the national assembly now and actually makes me want to say but you know what, this is the most colourful, don't let me use the word colourful, this is the most divergent in terms of political parties. This is the most divergent national assembly that we've had in years or sessions of the national assembly. So are you saying that this national assembly as the virgin, as it is ostensibly on paper, may just be as sublime as the previous sessions, say the ninth session that was actually often lampooned for imbecility or being sublime? Well, the more things change, the more they stay the same. I believe this nationalists, this particular prop of legislators have been accused of being too close to the executive and as a matter of fact, we've heard stories of bills being passed without proper debates and this seems to be an unnecessary inclination to please, it's still early days yet in this national assembly while not completely writing them off but it doesn't look good when you look at the body language of senators, look at the economic crisis we have faced in this country and we have a national assembly that hasn't pronounced, hasn't said anything about what we are going through as a country. It doesn't give us, it doesn't give the electorate a lot of confidence that they have the magic wand. Some of the unfortunate developments making sure that our victors in elections fully get litigations around their victories resolved before their sowning seems and sounds wonderful. To the eastern electoral act maybe some ideas that you want to share with them. Sorry I didn't get the question, could you repeat the question? I'm saying you have some ideas that they should put in. Absolutely. This is your random question. Appearments for the petitioner to bring witnesses from each polling unit across the entire spectrum of where the elections exactly, exactly. And that doesn't help, that doesn't help at all. So the electoral act can be amended the same way we've heard from the justices of the Supreme Court about substantial compliance with the electoral act meaning that the elections were okay and should not be nullified. We should have a situation where there could be substantial compliance with the requirement for witnesses if there has been widespread report. You have been so engaging and you have really enriched the program tonight. Thank you for your presence virtually. Thank you for having me. Thank you, pleasure. Today's throwback is how the greedily ambitious opposition leaders have often crowned the American in less popular national ruling parties. Any student of Nigeria's National Electoral is to mechanically glean a very paradoxical phenomenon in the results of the previous and recent general elections in the country since the first federal or national polls in 1959. The opposition, quote-unquote, usually out of the vaulting ambitions of its historic and present leaders tend to unwittingly or gollybly crown the usually numerically unpopular winners. In the 1959 general elections the elections which produced the first federal government became the prime minister who controlled the executive powers relative to the titular ceremonial office of the president. N.C.N.C. Dr. Enam Diazikwes Party because of its popularity in both the eastern and western regions scored the highest number of numerical votes. Two million, five hundred and ninety-four thousand five hundred and seventy-seven votes being thirty-four point zero one percent of total votes cast and eighty-one parliamentary seats. Actual Congress, Actual Group A.G. of Chief of Baphemia Woolow got one million, nine hundred and ninety-two thousand three hundred and sixty-four being twenty-six point twelve percent votes with seventy-three seats of those cast with one hundred and thirty-four seats. The higher number of seats must have been because of the generous delineation of constituencies by the outgoing colonial government in the huge geographical space of the region. That notwithstanding if the two leaders of the N.C.N.C. and A.G. had agreed to form a coalition government which had the lowest numerical votes would have not been the party of government. In nineteen seventy-nine after the three military regimes of in Russia and at the dawn of the Second Republic President Shayush Agariz N.P.N. scored five million six hundred and eighty-eight thousand eight hundred and fifty-seven votes being thirty-seven being thirty-three point seventy-seven percent of total votes cast unity party of N.G.A. U.P.N. and N.P.P. of Chiefs Woolow and N.Z.Q. got four million, nine hundred and sixteen thousand four hundred and fifty-one have been twenty-nine percent and two million, eight hundred and twenty-two five hundred and twenty-three being sixteen point seventy-five percent respectively the unfortunate pattern often knowledge by the it must be me and nobody else attitude of our politicians repeated itself in the February twenty in the February twenty-five twenty-three presidential ballot it was only in the national elections in which a baller Ahmed Tinubu courted a consecutively electorally wasteful and frustrated Buwari that the strategic alignment of forces in the opposition's ranks defeated the ruling party in conclusion this synoptic historical discussion into our democratic past speaks to a brazen fact at no time in our democratic history as the party in control of the federal government ever had the votes of fifty percent of the total registered voters not and does it on the show tonight I am Buwari


H. Q. presents The Library of Lost and Found by Phaedra Patrick Read by Sarah Borges Chapter 1 Valentine's Day As always, Martha Storm was primed for action. Chin jutted, teeth gritted, and a firm grip on the handle of her trusty shopping trolley. Her shoulders burned as she struggled to push it up the steep slope towards the library. The cobblestones underfoot were slippery, coated by the sea mist that wafted into sand-shift each evening. She was well prepared for the evening's event. It was going to be perfect, even though she usually avoided Valentine's Day. Wasn't it a silly celebration, a gimmick to persuade you to buy stuffed furry animals and chocolates at rip-off prices? Why, if someone ever sent her a card, she'd hand it back and explain to the giver that they'd been brainwashed. However, a job worth doing was worth doing well.  She'd bought the supermarket's finest rosé wine, flute glasses and napkins printed with tiny red roses. Her alarm clock had sounded at five-thirty that morning to allow her time to bake heart-shaped cookies, including gluten-free ones for any book-lovers who had a wheat allergy. She'd brought along extra copies of the novel for the author to sign. One of the best feelings in the world came when she received a smile of appreciation or a few grateful words. When someone said, great job, Martha, and she felt like she was basking in sunshine, she'd go to most lengths to achieve that praise. If anyone asked her her job, she had an explanation ready. I'm a guardian of books, she'd said, a volunteer at the library. She was an event organizer, tour guide, buyer, filer, job advisor, talking clock, housekeeper, walking in Saglopedia, stationary provider, recommender of somewhere nice to eat lunch, and a shoulder to cry on. All rolled into one. And she loved each part, except for waking people up at closing time, and the strange thing she found used as bookmarks, a nail file, a sexual health clinic appointment card, and an old rasher of bacon. As she rattled past a group of men, or wearing navy and yellow sand-shift United Football scarves, Martha called out to them, don't forget the library event tonight. But they laughed among themselves and walked on. As she eventually directed the trolley towards the small, squat library building, Martha spied the bulky silhouette of a man huddled by the front door. Hello there? She called out, twisting her wrist to glance at her watch. You're forty-five minutes early. The dark shape turned its head and seemed to look at her before herring away and disappearing around the corner. Martha trundled along the path, a poster flapped on the door, and author Lucinda Lovell beamed out from a heavily filtered photo.  Martha's eyes widened in disbelief. Her stomach lurched as if someone had shoved her on an escalator. Using her hand as a visor, she peered into the building. It was still, all was dark. No one was inside. With trembling fingers she reached out to touch the word that ruined all her planning and organizing efforts of the last couple of weeks. Cancelled.  She swallowed hard and her organized brain ticked as she wondered who to call. The area library manager, Clive Foulds, was taking his wife to the lobster-pot bistro for a Valentine's dinner. He was the one who'd set up Lucinda's appearance with her publisher. Pregnant library assistant Sukey MacDonald was cooking something Japanese for her boyfriend, Ben, to persuade him to give things another try between them. Everything had been left for Martha to sort out. Again. You live on your own, so you have more time. Clive had told her when he'd asked her to take— Sample complete. Ready to continue?


This tutorial addresses federal OSHA standards for portable abrasive wheel equipment.  These tools come in a variety of sizes and configurations and can be used to perform many different tasks. But they all share one common feature in their design. The spindle that rotates the abrasive wheel is fixed at a right angle to the main body of the tool. Portable right angle head grinders are powered by a variety of sources including electricity, pneumatic power, and rechargeable batteries. The abrasive wheels for these tools are utilized for different purposes primarily grinding and cutting different materials such as various ferrous and non-ferrous metals, masonry, concrete, and more. But these grinders also present some potentially serious safety hazards including flying sparks, particles of material, and broken pieces of the wheel. OSHA regulations spell out requirements for abrasive wheel grinders that must be followed in order to help prevent injuries. This is achieved through the selection of the right tool for the job, inspection of the grinder and all accessories, utilization of a guard on the grinder, and the use of personal protective equipment. The Federal OSHA regulations for general industry that pertain most directly to the use of portable abrasive wheel grinders can be found in subpart P at 1910.243 which is titled guarding a portable powered tools. For the construction industry, regulations are located in subpart I at 1926.303 titled abrasive wheels and tools. This tutorial will initially focus on the general industry standards listed in 1910-243 starting with paragraph C which covers portable abrasive wheels. Note that there are a few types of abrasive wheels that are specifically excluded from this section of the OSHA regulations including natural sandstone wheels, abrasive coated disc, and small abrasive wheels, cones, and plugs that are typically used with other types of grinders. So be certain to follow the manufacturer's instructions for the use of these excluded items to ensure worker safety. The first step when you are going to be using a portable abrasive wheel grinder is to select the right size tool for the job. Some portable grinders are relatively large in size and are better suited for heavy use over an extended period of time, whereas smaller grinders are better suited for light to moderate use on a sporadic basis. One important thing to be aware of is that all abrasive wheels available for use on these tools are not the same. Some are made specifically for grinding materials whereas others are intended for cutting materials. You can typically get information about the intended purpose of a wheel by looking at its label. Furthermore, wheels are typically made to be used on one particular type or class of material or materials. For instance, this particular abrasive wheel is intended for use on metal or steel whereas this wheel is intended for use on concrete or masonry. Use of an abrasive wheel for purposes it is not intended can cause wheel breakage and should therefore be avoided. Abrasive wheels are also rated for a maximum operating speed, usually expressed in RPMs. So refer to the label on the abrasive wheel you choose to use to determine its rating, then compare that to the rating for the portable grinder you will be using, and make certain that the abrasive wheels rating equals or exceeds that of the tool. Also make certain that the maximum wheel size listed on your grinder is compatible with the size of the abrasive wheel you have selected to use. Using a wheel that is larger in diameter or thickness than intended for your grinder could result in a wheel breaking apart when you run the grinder. Using too large a wheel could also prevent you from installing the protective guard that came with your grinder and that can be very hazardous. One more thing to watch for is the size of the arbor on your abrasive wheel. This is the hole located in the center of the wheel. Trying to force a wheel with too small an arbor onto the spindle of a grinder can cause the wheel to crack, and using a wheel with an arbor that is significantly larger than what is designed for the spindle on your grinder can cause the wheel to become unbalanced and break apart. Before conducting any type of inspection of your grinder, always de-energize the tool and secure the plug. This also applies before you perform any kind of maintenance or adjustment of your tool as well as every time you install a new abrasive wheel. Make certain that you maintain exclusive control of the plug at all times you are handling the grinder during these activities. If for some reason you cannot maintain control of the plug or if more than one person is going to be working on the tool, secure the plug and lock it out for your company's lock out tag out procedures. When visually inspecting your grinder before use, always make sure to look for any parts that are broken or missing. Also make certain the on-off switch operates properly and check to see if any bearings are worn out or loose. You should also look over the power cord to identify any damage along with the plug on the power cord. Make certain the ground pin has not been broken or removed on grounded models. If you do find any defect with the tool that makes it unsafe to operate, immediately take it out of service and tag it so no one tries to use it. Then have the tool repaired for the manufacturer's instruction. It is also important to thoroughly inspect the abrasive wheel before installing it on the tool as well as after any event that could cause damage such as dropping the wheel or the tool onto the floor or other surface. Abrasive wheels in use will eventually become worn to the point that they are no longer usable and may even start to break apart if use is continued. Also abrasive wheels are subject to cracking or breaking, especially when they are handled improperly or the tool is dropped. Abrasive wheels can also become deteriorated when exposed to water or environments with high moisture levels. That is because the abrasive wheel will actually absorb the moisture which causes the adhesives binding the abrasive materials together to weaken. So always store spare abrasive wheels in an area free from water and high levels of humidity. One commonly overlooked procedure OSHA requires to be performed on abrasive wheels before mounting to the tool is to sound the wheel. This simple test checks for cracks and similar defects that may otherwise go unnoticed. To perform this test, place the abrasive wheel on a non-metallic object such as a wooden dowel or you can even use your finger. Then lightly tap the wheel with a non-metallic object such as the wooden handle of a screwdriver approximately three quarters of an inch from the upper edge of the wheel. Then listen to the sound it makes. A wheel that is free of crack should reverberate which creates a tinging sound. This procedure is often called the ring test. Then rotate the wheel one quarter of a turn and repeat the test for a total of four times. While a good wheel should make the tinging sound, a wheel that has a hidden crack or similar defect will make a dead thud sound. Remember, a ring is an indicator of a good abrasive wheel whereas a thud indicates a bad wheel. Before mounting an abrasive wheel to the tool, you should also make certain the flange or other bearing surface of the wheel and the tool's bearing surfaces and retainer are free from foreign matter such as small metal shavings or similarly sized particles. Failure to remove such matter can cause the wheel to become unbalanced or even crack when the wheel is tightened into place. Manufacturers of right angle head grinders provide a guard to be used with their tool. The purpose of this guard is to deflect hazards such as sparks and particles of materials being cut or ground as well as pieces of a broken wheel away from the operator. Therefore it is important to make sure the guard is adjusted to the proper position which is between the operator and the wheel. This protective guard is crucial to prevent injury to the operator and is easily adjustable from one position to another as needed depending on the requirements of the task being performed. There is one exception to the use of a guard in OSHA's portable abrasive wheel standard and is related to internal grinding operations where the abrasive wheel is completely enclosed inside of an object during internal grinding operations. As a last line of defense against flying sparks, material particles and fragments of a broken wheel OSHA requires the operator of a portable abrasive wheel grinder to utilize personal protective equipment or PPE to protect not only their eyes but also their face. Therefore the operator must always wear approved safety glasses or goggles that meet the OSHA requirements as well as an approved face shield. The operator may also need to wear appropriate gloves to protect their hands from flying sparks and particles as well as from hot or sharp surfaces on the material being cut or ground. Depending on the type of materials being worked on and the length of time involved, grinding and cutting operations may also produce excessive amounts of particulate in the air that could be hazardous to breathe as well as potentially harmful levels of noise. So always follow any procedures your company may have in place for the use of a respiratory protection device or hearing protection devices when operating portable abrasive wheel equipment. The OSHA regulations for general industry that apply to the inspection of portable abrasive wheel equipment covered in this tutorial including the often overlooked ring test can be found in these sections of the OSHA CFR. And the guarding requirements for portable abrasive wheel equipment can be located here while the general requirements for assessing the need for personal protective equipment to be utilized while operating this equipment are found here. And here are the OSHA construction standards applicable to inspection of the equipment and accessories as well as guarding and personal protective equipment. Of course OSHA regulations cannot address every single hazard associated with portable abrasive wheel equipment. It is imperative that you become familiar with and follow the manufacturer's instructions for the tool and accessories that you will be using. Instructions commonly recommended by manufacturers include but are certainly not limited to the following. Firmly hold the tool with two hands when first depressing the on switch. Because the grinder has a tendency to twist due to the torque created you could drop or lose control of the tool. Do not grind or cut near flammable or combustible materials nor on any container that have held these materials. That is because the sparks could create a fire or cause an explosion. And always store your tool and accessories in a designated area to protect them from accidental breakage as well as exposure to excessive moisture. So in review it is important to make sure you always select the right tool for the job as well as the right abrasive wheel for the material you will be cutting or grinding. Then inspect them thoroughly before first use as well as after any event that may have caused damage. Always install and properly adjust the manufacturer's guard provided with your abrasive wheel equipment to deflect flying objects away from your body. And be certain that you always wear required personal protective equipment needed to minimize your chance of being injured. By following these steps you can help your company or organization comply with OSHA standards and manufacturer's recommendations. But more importantly this can make the difference between your going home and as good a shape as when you came to work or not.


Have you ever shorted stocks before? If you're a day trader or you're thinking about becoming a day trader, shorting stocks can be very lucrative. How do you do it? How do you get the right picks? For example, this stock had a beautiful move to date with the downside. If you get the right pick, you can short a stock and make a lot of money because moves to the downside happen very fast and very quick. And I prefer to be in trades and out of them very quickly. If you get a move and a stock drops a buck and you have 3,000 shares of it, you can make $3,000. You've got to get the right pick every day. I have a method and a system that I do myself and I teach where I'm looking for the stocks that are gapping down and then I'm looking to short them. And I use a 26-point rating system to determine which pick is the good one every day to do. If you'd like more information, come to the free webinar or you can email me at melissa at the stockswush.com. Thanks everyone. Have a great day.


These two creatures normally live a hidden life in the deep sea. This little shrimp here is about to be eaten, but it has a very neat trick to distract its ugly fish. And that is that it can secrete a protein called the luciferase, the luciferate molecules, which once in the seawater generate a flash of blue light. This blue light, it's called bioluminescence, actually distracts the ugly fish long enough for the shrimp to get away. Now, in the next few minutes, I would like to explain to you how using synthetic biology, we can use the protein that generates this blue light to develop a very simple test for diagnostics of infectious diseases. I'm actually a chemist by training, and chemists like to make new molecules that didn't exist before in nature. Chemistry is actually unique as a scientific discipline to use synthesis to understand the molecular world, or as Richard Feynman put it, if I cannot create it, I cannot understand it. Chemical synthesis has also been very important for society in the last two centuries. It's generated fantastic new materials, drugs, as well as also very nasty environmental problems. I believe that biology is now at the same point in time as chemistry was at the end of the 19th century, because for a long time, biology has been a science that tries to understand and describe the natural world around us, ranging from ecosystems to cells. But the revolution that has taken place over the last 50 years of molecular biology means that we now know many of the molecular components that life is based on. We sequence the human genome. We know the structure of thousands of proteins, and we know most basic biochemical reactions. So we're now at a point in time that we can think we can use these components that life is made of and try to create new biological devices, ranging from proteins to cells and even organisms. Now, in my research group, we tried to make new proteins. We're protein engineers. And to make a protein really from scratch is still an enormous challenge. But evolution, through millions of years of evolution, has generated a huge collection of proteins with a very wide variety of functions. And the number of proteins for which we now know the structure has risen exponentially. So it's now over 100,000. And all these proteins are at our disposal. We can use them as building blocks to create new proteins with new functions. I'd like to illustrate that by giving you one example from our own research, where our aim was to develop a very simple test to detect the presence of antibodies in a drop of blood. These are these yellow Y-shaped proteins that are in the blood, and they act as the gatekeepers of the immune system, the eyes and ears of our immune system. So they detect when a microorganism or a virus invades and then attacks it for destruction. Now the antibodies that are generated are specific for a certain disease. So they are called biomarkers, excellent biomarkers that you can use to detect infectious diseases or autoimmune diseases, et cetera. Now the detection of antibodies in a laboratory, in a hospital, is actually a solved problem. But it requires sophisticated equipment, it's expensive and time consuming. So we ask ourselves, can we make a test that can be done by everyone everywhere? Can we make a sensor protein that in the presence of a specific antibody generates a certain color of light? And that's where our little shrimp comes in. So what we decided to do is take this protein that makes this blue light from the shrimp, connect it to another protein that's green fluorescent from an other marine organism via a lone linker, and do it in such a way that in the absence of an antibody, these are held together by two other proteins from yet another organism, yeast. So the blue light that's normally produced is now transferred to the green protein and it emits green light. Now if the antibody binds, it actually gets the two proteins apart. So the blue light can no longer be transferred to the green protein and you generate blue light. So this is basically a molecular traffic light with two colors, blue and green, which kind of indicate the presence of a specific antibody. And the beauty of the system we think is that this light in principle can be detected just by the camera of your mobile phone as the only piece of equipment that you would need. So that's the dream that we are currently working on. We're trying to develop this principle really developed in a very simple paper-based essay where you could put a drop of blood on a piece of paper or saliva and then based on the color of the light that's emitted, you can decide whether you have a certain disease. It's also a little bit where my expertise ends and my questions begin. So a very specific question in this case is how can we translate this basic research to real applications, for example, the developing world, really make this happen? More generally, what about patentability of these issues? So synthetic biology, should we pursue this kind of open source platform ID where everybody can use all these building blocks? Is that the way to go? That is something I would like to discuss. Thank you.


Hi everyone, in this short tutorial I'm gonna show you how to install Python packages and modules with pip. In order to do that first you need to open windows command prompt and after that you need to type commands pip install and after that you need to type the name of your package module or library that you want to install. In this example I want to install HTML5 library so I'm going to type pip install HTML5 library. If you're having two versions of Python on your machine for example Python version 2 and Python version 3 and if you want to install a package for the Python version 3 you need to explicitly type the command pip3 here and then press enter. On this machine I'm having just Python version 3 so I don't need to type this command I can use just simply pip command. Now I'm gonna press enter and as you can see HTML5 library is successfully installed on my machine. That's all in this video don't forget to like this video and to subscribe to this channel. See you in the next tutorial. Bye!


Welcome back to the channel everybody. OSG has got some delicious treats cooking upstairs Christmas Eve, baby. Oh Can you feel the spirit y'all OSG is also gonna make some Cinnamon Rose a very special treat don't get to have them very often Christmas Eve treat and we're gonna be doing a live stream our first live stream ever on the Lake life Family channel making them cinnamon rose. So y'all can tune in for that today's video. I'm not going outside I'm basically just spending time with my family today But I just wanted to give a message to you guys check in with you a little bit because it is Christmas Eve I've got a weird winter solstice Sun beam coming in right here. It's probably gonna go away in just a minute But does kind of have a nice healthy glow on the table I've been building this fish cave up for months just trying to get it ready So I can come in here when the weather's crappy and just talk to you guys crappy floor is definitely uneven though Like when I don't have my legs attached to the ground They just kind of roll back, but I digress if y'all are subscribed to the channel and watch health vids my last blog with the coyotes I'm sure a lot of you are curious about that.  So I think it's pretty clear We're gonna need to do a stake out there and do that I don't know anything about trapping anyways and I'm half decent with a bow. So that sounds good Thank you guys for your for your inputs these coyotes get more accustomed to be around houses and pets You know and taking pets and eating them and everything. They just get more bold So sometimes you got to put them back in check. We'll be doing that now. Let's get to the goods y'all one of the really great things one of the blessings in in my life and when I decided to Do this it was really it changed my life He started happening pretty rapidly. I used to just be a fishing channel where I would literally just talk about How to catch fish and I know many of you that are here. That's that's all you want to see But there's a lot of you that that want to hear me talk about other things and explore other ventures of my life So a few years ago. I started including other things just not fishing That's when you know, I started including my family and you guys You fell in love with Winston. We all did just the the family interactions and It's not it's not a show. It's it's literally just us having fun in front of the camera and There's also been other parts that that aren't so fun and many of you have followed along with that and it's helped many people and I still get emails and And letters in the PO box about that So that's why I wanted to do a video today To bring awareness to mark situation and if you guys don't know who mark is Mark is Matt Dr. Matt from demolition Ranch's brother. He's his younger brother first of all if you haven't seen the video on Off the ranch where Matt and mark are talking about His cancer, please go over there and watch that and that'll get you up to speed mark Also has his own YouTube channel. He loves working on stuff. It's kind of kind of like a lot of us I've never met him. I'd love to I'm sure we'd get along great And I just wanted to share his story and allow you guys to to help him out a little bit because Similar situation happened to me and there was a giant outreach and it made me feel a lot better So I just wanted to share mark has a form of cancer that is extremely rare I had never even heard of it. Matt called me a while back and he started explaining to me what? What he had And at the time they knew it to be just a tumor and it was you know Basically like on the edge of his brain and I was you know blown away and then he they learned it was Cancerous and it was growing pretty rapidly stage four kind of deal So mark has been traveling down to md. Anderson where they're Basically coming up with a playbook of treatments to help him out that involves surgeries chemo and Radiation chemo breaks you down makes you sick It is a tough tough fight y'all and then even bigger and I'm also familiar with this is Radiation, you know anytime you introduce radiation into your body, especially around the brain which Where his tumor is growing That could have long-term effects doctors told me to try to try to not do radiation until It's you absolutely have to when you're young because marks 30. What radiation does is it can? Morph your cells later. In fact radiation doesn't even take effect for Many months sometimes years on the area, so it is a it's a really long-term deal And it's gonna it's gonna be a battle, but I've been watching Mark's channel recently and then just talking to Matt He's got a really really good attitude, which I think is Super important and the biggest element to that I think is having support around you the demolition army Everyone over there they came rushing over all of my other YouTube buddies They came rushing over of course you guys and the fishing freaks came rushing over to give me Encouragement and prayers you bought the t-shirts that help to cover a lot of my medical costs, and I'm just I'm extremely Grateful for that, but not only just that but also the emotional support because when you have Thousands of people telling you you got this you feel that in the back of your mind every time there's a little battle Telling you it's just huge so my purpose for making this video today is to help mark and Also a lot of you have become interested in my tumor story and to follow along with that and mark is doing vlogs almost daily About that with his family So if y'all have are interested to follow along with that, please go follow his story and Encourage him go to his channel leave a positive comment on the videos follow him on Instagram Build it stronger a great message indeed a great job you guys on coming up with that design Yeah, this represents mark got something similar to his tattoo. It's got his arm Obviously he's a gear head so it's got all that and then build it stronger a great message for anybody You don't have to be a mark or a matte fan To get that. I just think it's a cool shirt I'm currently wearing one as well and they have a hat as well It says make mark great kid and also what is going on with the mustaches? I'm like halfway to a mustache. I have a beard OSG is is she doesn't really mind the beard and in fact the hat really goes along well with it But my main purpose was when I went down to the demos and everybody had a mustache I was pretty much left out and then of course I Felt bad that I didn't have one so I've been growing a mustache And I am gonna grow a mustache and it's an honor of mark. All right We're all thinking of you dude and mark if you're watching this buddy I'd love to go fishing with you one of these days when you're feeling better as long as you're more patient than your brother because There's not a chance. He's going fishing can't dangle more than 10 minutes. All right fishing freaks You know what to do go ahead and go support mark Go to demos video go to Mark's channel leave a positive message and And prayers. Okay. I know some of you are not on the prayer train But I'm telling you it makes a difference to the people that believe and I do and I know it helped me It's helped my family and it will help mark So please do that and then please get this shirt. This is gonna help mark through This could be many years. I don't know they have health insurance, which is awesome But I can attest to all the other expenses That go along with that with the family and then not being able to work And just having kids through the whole process man heart goes out to you mark and it's the Christmas season y'all This is probably the easiest thing you could do to fill your heart with joy is to help out mark someone that needs help If you want to grow a mustache do so as well. It's a great excuse now. You can go tell your wife. Hey Mark needs needs my support. I'm gonna grow a mustache so we can deal with it in this video on a positive note I just want to say Merry Christmas to you and your family from ours Little Emmy is doing great today.
