Thanks again to the Phil up next is I'm not


Good afternoon and welcome back to the touchline on Y25, my name is Maxwell Wasikoso, robot is still with us, my elbow co-host and joining us is a big man as far as the word of cricket is concerned, not only recognized locally but he's made headlines even on international front, cricket legend and icon Maurice Odumbe himself joining us for the second time big man, how have you been? Very well, thank you very much. Long time man. Long time, thank you for having me. How you settling in as a batting coach for the Kenya cricket team, how are things so far? So far, okay, I'm supposed to be the national team coach at the moment but things are not good, the boys have not been practicing for the past two months because of issues to do with contracts and we just don't know what is happening. There is no office, the office that had been put there, the interim committee, they are mandated as a lapse, they were given three months, so that is over. Now we are waiting for directions from either the new CS Ambassador Amina Mohamed or from the sports tribunal because I believe there are cases out there. Rankling has been a major monster as far as these federations, not only in crickets but basing on the sport which you yourself is a specialist in, what might be the source of this never ending disputes? It's got a lot to do with ego, some people feel that they deserve more than the others and also pride and if you ask me, some of these people have been in cricket long enough, they've run the game and for them to be coming back again, I think it is not on and this rankling will never end as long as we have people who feel that look, I've given so much to cricket, now it's my turn or it's my time to be running the game, it's not on and as I said there are a lot of egos going around, it's got nothing to do with cricket at all because these are two camps that they can sit down, come together and quash out all these manenos and we move on. But why would they want to run to court? For what? What is it that I'm protecting? This is a game, I was there, I played, I left, somebody else took over, so it's the same way with the officials and I'm not only talking about cricket, I'm talking about all sports across board, some people never wanted to leave, they had to be forced out, so it's the same thing that is happening to cricket, some people don't want to leave and in the process everybody is suffering, the coaches, the players, the guys who are maning the office at waraka, so not everything has now come to stand still. The question will be, the major reason that they don't want to leave is it money, pride or what is it? Does cricket can make a lot of money that these people want to sit there and have the cash every day or what can be attributed to? Well, there is money, but this is not money that it will be easy to sort of put your hands in the coffers, it's not that easy, but it's all about pride, I'm the chairman, I am this, people listen to me and going for those international meetings, interacting with all these top guys, the shaggs and the sas and all that, that's what it's all about. Because if you ask me, if these people claim that they love cricket and they are doing it for cricket, we should not be in the courts, we shouldn't be. And some of them should be man enough to say, look, I'm stepping aside so that the game can move on, but nobody wants to do that. Osora Robin, you and I, by the virtue that we have had passion for this industry of journalism, especially sports, I know we might have been lucky to watch one moriso dumbe at our tender age stage, but now looking forward, going forward cricket, just like golf, is not a sport that is closely associated, is not meant for the majority unless you have got exceptional talent and you also have got unwavering passion for the sport. From what the champ is saying, going forward, I don't know, from where you sit objectively speaking from the journalistic angle, what's the long term solution to this debak? Well, it's hard for me because I'm not an insider of cricket Kenya, but I think it's all about removing in this office completely a big overhaul of the office, like work a born federation I've done in football, just crush out the whole office, get everybody completely out of the office and bring in new people who can run the sport forward. You don't want to have, because from what the champ is telling you about, it has people who have been there for a very long time. I believe even the day you made your debut back in 1990, there was someone in that office who was there up to today.  And if you look at their track record, it's not impressive at all. And these are the people who should actually make way for others. People should be given a chance also to lead. I might have better ideas, who knows. But because somebody has friends who will be voting for him, it's practically impossible to get in there. And another reason why we are fighting is we need to change our constitution, then have elections. We need to spread the game, take it even all the way to Mandera. That is what the new constitution is. At the grass roots. At the grass roots. Kabisa at the grass roots. Now some people are saying, oh we don't have time for this new constitution and without that constitution we cannot have elections. So what happens? The former CSHS had to put in an interim committee for three months. Now the first committee came, they didn't do anything. Those 90 days elapsed. Without them doing anything at all. Nothing to do even with the constitution, maybe not even one page. Leadership continuity, nothing. This is it. And then they ask for extension. Now even this group now, whose term has elapsed, they might ask for an extension but why would you want an extension when in 90 days you've not done anything? Yes. Right? So to me, I think Ambassadamina Mohammad should just crack the whip. You know, tell these guys we draw the cases, whoever has filed a case or whatever at the court, we draw, we are sitting down, we are thrashing this matter here and now. Because another thing, sorry. Yes. We might even get banned by international cricket conference. As we speak they refuse to release money to cricket Kenya until and unless we get our house in order. Yes. And this affects the under 23 and the under 19. We lost to Nigeria, Sierra Leone just the other day. Now next month we are supposed to be going for Africa qualifiers, same as what the under 19 went for. Yes. No, we are not preparing and those other guys are preparing. They are not waiting for us. For the past two months, myself and David Obuia will go to the ground, sit for two hours, nobody turns up and we leave. And come the qualifiers. What's the reason for players failure not to turn up? Is it because of unpaid allowances and salaries and their dues? Salaries have been paid but they don't know the way forward. They don't have contracts. We will not be coming for training when I don't know what I'm going to get at the end of the month. At least there should be some commitment for the players. Even for us, I don't have a commitment but I'm still going there. Because of passion and love for this sport. And since I was appointed I've not been told, hey, pack your things and go. So I'm assuming I'm still handling them until such a time when they will have elections and things are done properly. In other sporting disciplines like football and rugby we've seen former players getting actively involved in the administrative, even managerial level and several things that sport entails. As we speak right now, Amfrika Yangi is involved. He's a former rugby player. He's even having a position at the National Olympic Committee of Kenya. He's a former captain for the National Team of Rambestas. He's a former national champion. Do you think the same should be applied in cricket? People like yourself, Steve Tikolo or Buya and the rest, getting actively involved and being given a prominent role. And that should happen. It should be automated. If you look all over the world, it's the former sportsmen and sportswomen who are being called back. Even look at football commentators. Most of them are former players. But it seems it is only here in Africa where former players are not liked. Up to now I am flabbergasted that why is somebody like Bobby Ogola? Somebody like Dr. JJ Masiga. If these are not people who should be involved in football then who is? No disrespect to Nick Mwenua. Maybe he played village football. I don't know. But when you compare to people like Dr. JJ Masiga. You look at scenario like Zambia. Back and bar and I don't know who. They played football. We all know what back and bar is in Germany when it comes to that football. But maybe unwillingness and reluctance of former players. No, we don't have the money to be contesting. Because if you look at people who are there. Who have always been chairmen and all that. There are people who have the money to lobby. No, I will not expect somebody like Bobby Ogola to be going around 47 countries. Trying to convince electorates to endorse his candidacy. No, it's whoever takes over as the chairman then you look around. Who do we have? I have Bobby Ogola here. We have Bobby Ogola in charge of all the academies in the country. Something like that. And I had you talking about from the grassroots why God is not having its own academy. They should. But if you ask me we need to do away with teams like MOW. Small, small teams. Let's go original. Do away with this business oriented parastartal teams. Do away with that. It doesn't help. Because if you have Nairobi playing Eastern. Yes, that's true. But if you have Sofapakha. Because the rivalry will be on another level. This is it. I'm supporting my city. Tottenham. My town. Manchester city, Mani, United. These are towns. So that is the way I think we should go. It will be painful to do away with Gormaia. I have still no pots. But if we want to grow our spots. We need to go original. You realize like in the Kenyan Premier League for example. Or cricket for example. Most of the clubs are based in Nairobi. This is it. Yes. Out of 18 clubs, 10 or 12 clubs are in Nairobi. Even our regional. So they don't represent national outlook. No, they don't. It's not. You need clubs going back home. You need a club that let Gormaia go back to Kisum. Or Homa Bay. Come back with a lot of fun. We have to go back to Ebuye. Because you have a home base. That is already waiting for you. That can help you build. Clubs like Shabana. They are trying because they are based at home in Kisum. And it's their own region. But when you come to a club like Sofa Parka. You are based in Machako. You don't have that appeal to the locals. This is it. You don't have that.  But if they were training there. There is an identity. This is it. And there are age groups. Under 21, under 19. Those are things that we should be having in each and every county. Why are we losing to these other countries? We should ask ourselves. What kind of facilities do they have? We just don't have to prepare two months prior to a big event. No. These are things you start preparing 10 years from now. Olimpigs. Are we going to produce a swimmer? Yes. We start now. That the kid may be 10. So by the time the kid is 17. He or she has already started climbing that ladder. But for the shortest time. For the shortest period of time you've been at the helm of Kenya cricketers. They are butting coach. What do you make of the level of potentiality and capability in the players and even in terms of young talent coming up to join the national team? The talent is there. But the question is this. Do these players have peace of mind? It's all about peace of mind. You don't want to go somewhere and you are worried that when you come back home you'll find a padlock.  These are things that should not be happening. A team player or a national team player or even local because now they are professionals even football. Your job is to play. You don't have to worry about my allowance as delayed. Oh my salary has not been paid. No. You don't hear those kind of things in Europe. So why is it happening in Kenya? I'll talk about Kenya because this is home. Yes. And these are things that I don't understand. And we seem to have... Not even happening today. It has been happening. We are still happening up to today. So we need to change our setup completely. Look at the other day they recalled the volleyball team, the latest volleyball team. Yes. Kenya prisons. How embarrassing is that? They were repatriating. Because the government claimed the left... The demotora is their departure. So who paid for the air tickets and all that? Yet they are policemen. They are policemen. Government employees. Yes.  No. Those kind of things. What kind of an image are we portraying? What message are we sending out there? To be honest with you. And I know for a fact, Kenya is a very talented people. And not only in sports. A lot of things. We travel, we see, we interact with these people. Yes. Right? But the amount of talent that is... It's too immense. A lot. They talk about to a different cycling. How many cyclists do we have in western Pandei who used to ride black mambas?  Chris Froome was being coached by... Some guy was riding a black mamba. They talk about this rowing. We don't have those guys who can row. We have them. Good facilities, good training. You want to tell me in six, seven years time this guy will not even bring a bronze medal? They will. But we are not making the atmosphere conducive for our people to excel. I don't believe it's only Wanyama who can play out there. I don't believe that. There are so many out here. Moris, in all your experience as a player, as a coach and as a sportsman in this country, it all goes down to policy for government policy. The government seems to be the one that has failed everybody. It seems from the time we are independent to realize that our government knows just have that initiative to go out there and say sports can help us in economic development in the country. Very true. But you are very right. They promised us how many stadiums. Five. How many have been built? None. So now, what are the youth supposed to do? We are lying to them. We will build stadiums for you. You don't have to be a doctor to earn money. You can be a sportsman. And who earns big money in the world? Sportsmen. Sports people. I was reading 500,000 pounds a week. Yes. 50 million bob. Come on. The likes of Tiger Woods in golf. This is it. And we have these guys, but is the atmosphere right for them to showcase their talent? I don't think so. So the policy is totally wrong. Compare the contrast in your hey days of sports, not only cricket with the current days. We know in the past sport was not was not perceived as a key priority as an income generating activity because there was lack of goodwill from the stakeholders. Even the corporate entity didn't come to support various sporting activities in the country. But what's your comparison in terms of even growth potential? Are we getting progressive or we still stagnant? No, we are not getting progressive because if we are getting... Look, we reached the 2003 World Cup. Yes. Now, hardly 15 years down the road we are in division three. We are playing the likes of Rwanda, Nigeria. Instead of playing Sri Lanka, India, Australia and all that. Big teams. Big teams. No, in a period of about 10 years we have gone back that much then something is not right. Very true. Everybody is moving forward. Why are we moving backwards? When we know what we are supposed to do... Because you worked hard to get to that World Cup. Now it's built on from us getting to the World Cup as going forward. This is it. Not going backwards. But here is a scenario whereby we are going backwards. We are the passion. Nowadays you have to pay players. Forget it. If there is no money on the table nobody will turn up. Right? And we've made it such. We watch the manus and all that.  I ought to be paid. How many of our former grates are dying poor here and it breaks my heart. We're not doing anything. You read this guy 60-something gold medal, this and that. My euro, my euro. The same thing you tell me is what former international and FC Leopards player Miki Wachewans told me he coached Stratmo University nowadays. He said that comparing these days with the current crop of football as they used to play for passion and like today it has to be remuneration package. It's a determined factor. But you cannot blame this player because at the end of the day this player has got bills to pay. This player has got a child at school. He's got a mom back home. He's got rent to pay. So they have plenty of duties to attend to financial. The scenario back in the 80s back in the 90s is not the scenario today. No, totally. It's very different because now our shielding has gone up. At the end of the day you need that money for you to survive. And even if we got the passion to do this job, you got the passion to go and play passion will not put food on the table for you. During the conversation at Swell after touchline Y254 to Sike Maxola at Osorobats at Y254 channel we hosting former cricket international he was the skipper for the national team and he was amongst the squad that represented the country in 2003 World Cup for Kenya and he says that during the heydays Kenya played heavyweights and you know giants in terms of cricket the likes of Sri Lanka, Australia, India but he says that nowadays the standards have dwindled and looking forward to the restoration of lost glory. Keep contributing and of course we're going to be sampling some of your views during and even at the tail end of the program. Yes. For the shortest time you've been at the helm of Kenya cricket what can you be proud of as the achievements you've attained so far? Okay. Because we've been starved of trophies we've not won a trophy for I don't know how long when we went to Rwanda and won an Africa Cup. Right? I think that is the achievement that I can talk of rather. Right? But if you ask me that's not an achievement compared to the kind of opposition we used to play because it is expected of us to go and win this kind of Africa qualifiers and all that because at the moment even beating Uganda we tend to celebrate. It's an achievement which is something that is not supposed to be. Not at all. So for us to go and win in Rwanda it's an achievement for Kenya cricket now. Do you miss it? I don't miss it. You playing the game? I don't miss it. I miss playing hard and just giving your best and there's nothing as good as representing your country. It's something. Plenty of questions trickling in. Of course some guitar is asking. Just a funny one. Are there ball tempering issues in Kenya's cricket and he's saying that with comparison to Australian team captains who tempered with that ball while they were getting in South Africa? No, there's no ball tempering because the level we are playing even if you you temper with it it's not going to make any difference so there is not at this level now. Not at this level. Not the Kenyan level. Not at Kenyan level. We've got cricket clubs here in the country and we are an amateur country in terms of cricket. If we professionalize it how good can it be for cricket Kenya? Very good. Very good. If we take a regional where we have Kisumu, Mombasa, Nakuru, Eldoret, Taker it will be wonderful. There will be more sponsors. TV will come on board. You'll be having academies. You'll be having kids coming through because all these regions will be required to have an academy and to have a setup of under this, under this, under this and under that. That is what needs to be done. That each and every club or each and every team must have a line where this fits this one and then this one. Like what they have out there. You'll find Barcelona has a youth team I don't know what. So you progress. Edge grade categories. There you go. And Felix Okura is asking that presence of the champ in the national team is it ceremonial because he says towards the end of last year you were supposed to travel they were supposed to travel to South Africa but at the 11th hour you got knocked off the travelling party. So this happened? Yes. It's not the first time I'm surprised that you can remember that. Yes. This is what I told you guys earlier about egos pride and trying to exercise powers. Stamping authority. Yes. We are leaving Morris even if it's the national team coach we are leaving him. This is what it's all about. So what does that tell you? It's not about us winning but it's all about making sure Morris Odoomba doesn't travel. Irrespective of what he offers the team. Irrespective of his experience and all that. That's kind of witch hunt. It is witch hunt. It is witch hunt. I'll be very honest with you. I've been mistreated once I've been there. I'll tell you that for a fact. I've been mistreated. I've not had a smooth run at all. At all. So what's the essence in the first place appointing you to be in charge of the national team when you can't travel with the rest of this code? Why hire me then? Because the thing is maybe it will look good to silence the critics we brought him back. Remember he's been out. So we've brought him back but when it comes to the major so-called major events Morris will be left behind especially when we are going to countries where cricket is known because that's where the assumption is my name is big or there will, you know attention will be on him. So if it's Rwanda it's okay you can go but not Dubai, not India. And how was the performance in South Africa now that they traveled without you? Very poor. It has always been poor. The only time they've won an event is when I went with them to Rwanda. That's the only time. But every time they've left me behind they've come back with a very poor performance. For performances, yeah. Plenty of stories and plenty of questions as well. Some guy from Rwanda in Nakuru Festas is asking Morris did he take bribe from the book markers as it's being alleged? Because he has insisted this before several times but once again and I'm asking this for the last time. The thing is this will you pay Harambe stars to lose to Brazil? For the sake of patriotism, no. No, but do you think Harambe stars can beat Brazil? No. What are the chances? Exactly. So when Kenya is going out there to play against Australia what are the odds? So you cannot... The probability that Australia would beat Kenya is high. There you go. So the book maker was a friend but as I said again how do you bribe Harambe stars to lose to Brazil? It's next to impossible. So there was not... So in this case Kenya was playing against whom? Well there was never a match. It is just that this guy was a friend so you can borrow money from a friend, can't you? So that is what it was. It was a friendship and let me be honest with you also I'll tell you something when these teams travel out there they stay in a hotel maybe you are down there having tea or something and somebody comes and joins you hey Wanyama, for example are you going to start asking this fellow oh, what do you do? Who are you? Are you a book maker? Will you do that? No So it's the same thing then we had a relation but later on it turned out that it was a book maker but if you look at the story even my case it was a miscarriage of justice if they had found me guilty of taking money from the book maker they would have given me life but remember Yes, they would have given me life ban but what was my accusation in appropriate contact with a book maker that would have brought the game into disrepute so which game did I bring into disrepute?  No, it can never be the same case Kenyans like to worship heroes and thieves they glorify this is it but the minute you sleep a bit and even when you think about it country never stood behind me when these guys were coming after me they never did because if you look at any other case where it involves much fixing look how their government gets behind them and not only in cricket even these guys who are being thieves of drug cheats they have to be very keen and know it could be a scheme to finish them look what IAAF is doing trying to curtail certain races like Russia what they did to Russia and the Olympics so we have to be careful let's not accept anything that is we are spoon fed because a lot of people don't know I was charged because of inappropriate contact inappropriate you have friends with a bad man why? now how would you know this guy is bad? so you know those kind of things so we need to be alive to certain facts that hey let's not take things at first value oh Ali Shtaikiwa he was found guilty but then ask yourself who are their witnesses? in fact like in my case who are their witnesses? ex-girlfriends and not even a single cricketer so what does that tell you? so has been life of the heroic circles have you been coping up with life of the crickets circles and of the glorifying days of yourself? we can't complain to be honest with you because as I said handling the national team you know something to do but again there are problems we don't know if we are going to be paid our salaries there is nobody to sign the checks so we are in a limbo again God knows for how long so I cannot say oh it's beautiful things are working nicely no they are not because our cricket is dead and it's more or less buried but I refuse to accept that cricket has gone down it's a question of just removing a few officials and we move on now your final word in terms of as you wind up on this particular segment what will be your advice to the footballers not only in cricket but across sporting disciplines with regards to what should they do right now and heading into days of their life after the sport well you know they always say that oh save and invest and all that but how much are you being given for you to save and to invest we are not talking about the wanyamas of the world fine they say oh even if it's 10 shillings you can still save but what I could say is that just plan for the future doesn't matter how little the amount might be but just put kidogo aside and you never know those rainy days it might just help you but you know with the African society once everybody knows you and kidogo there is a cousin here there is this here it's a bit difficult but the best thing is just prepare for the future thanks man for coming lot of problems thank you for having me more is available cricket legend and Icon joining us to dissect about the state of the cricket in the country and talking about his hey days denying claims that you know he received bribed from bookmarkers to fix again giving a comparison to a match that probably would involve Kenya Brazil or Australia as far as the word of cricket is concerned this is the touch line on Y25 my name is Maxwell Wasike the fan zone the fan favorite segment as we give focus on international football is coming up Olegunasolshia the Norway international has been given full managerial capacity as the man to steer man united to another level that forms the basis of our discussion up next don't go away stay tuned


Hi everybody, welcome to Barn's Takeout, your daily serving of art. I'm Robin Quarren, Collections Research Coordinator at the Barn Foundation. Today I'm going to talk to you about this chest on the north wall of Room 2. Let's take a closer look. So this is a Pennsylvania-German chest and it's known as a black unicorn chest. It gets its name from these two black unicorns at the center. We've discussed a few different pieces of furniture by Pennsylvania Germans and some Pennsylvania German art as well, but this furniture really is meant to be a utilitarian functional object. It's beautifully decorated as you can see, but it was really used and it wasn't meant to be a showpiece that only was looked at. It had its function and we see that those signs of the function and kind of some of the wear on the lid where they would have been opening it daily. And then also this wear right here where maybe they were using it as a seat to put their shoes on in the morning. So this chest is a little bit different. It comes from Berks County in Pennsylvania, in particular a township known as Bern, which was named after the city in Switzerland. So Berks County was settled primarily by German-speaking Swiss and German immigrants. In the early 18th century, the county was actually incorporated in 1752. So this type of chest, like I said, comes from a particular township. And as we've seen with a lot of Pennsylvania German furniture, it was often painted and that paint was often meant to mimic something that could have been applied with wood. We also have some work, some of them in the collection, which actually do use applied wood fronts to show these arches, but this one is entirely done with paint. So the painted areas in these arches were intricately planned out. They would not have been done, most likely done freehand. They would have been with the use of a template or a design and that's because the materials that they were using would have dried quickly. So these so-called black unicorn chests were also decorated with usually with three painted arches, a very in color, but this one is using white in the center. And they were often decorated with this sawtooth border, this zigzag pattern around the edges of the archway. And they appear to simulate wood inlay and that was very popular in Berks County. The rearing unicorns themselves at the center, where the chest gets its name from, were likely borrowed from the British coat of arms, which features a rearing lion and unicorn. But also the Pennsylvania state coat of arms, which first appeared in 1778, also featured two rearing horses. The design of the two black unicorns also appears on furniture made in Switzerland. And its use on these chests could reflect the Swiss ancestry of the makers themselves or could be a mixture of all three. So they're using designs which they were already familiar with, but also incorporating something from the new world like the British coat of arms and then the new Pennsylvania state coat of arms. The unicorn itself also was a traditional German sign of purity, so a symbol of purity. It's been determined that there were eight different makers and four different decorators of this type of chest. There are around 40 or so that are known in still in existence. Our chest is consistent of a particular type of construction and it indicates a shop or an artisan who was active in the township of Bern between 1778 and 1787. The chest is constructed entirely of pine and it has a lid which has applied molding on the front and the sides of the lid and it's flush with the top of the lid. You can see this molding applied right here with wood pins and it ends in a butt joint right here. So butt joint is its 90 degree angle different from a miter joint which would have been the kind of diagonal 45 degree angle. As I mentioned, the decorator would very carefully plan out this design. When we look at the group of black unicorn chests together, this use of planned design becomes very apparent and it shows that there were around four different decorators. Overall similarities in their form and design really indicate that they were working in very close proximity to one another and that they were probably aware of each other's work and knew of it. Some of them even appear to have been using the same templates or designs or patterns and this indicates that there was probably a relationship between them so an apprentice and a master craftsman or perhaps a son and father. So two decorators who were working with one another for a period of time but maybe then separated their ways and became craftsmen in another own right. The fact that there were eight different makers of furniture so the ones who were constructing the actual chest box but only four decorators indicates that some may have been decorating the decorated by the makers themselves but also that they could have been specialists in the painting of furniture specifically for something like this and that they were respected in their field and they would have just finished the painting after the construction was finished and that they were the finishers of these blanket chests. The two side arches feature this vased floral flowers right here. These four flower with these fully folded design right here and then the central larger flower. They look pretty much identical to one another when we look at them. They're very symmetrical. They show really well that this artist was planning out the design, was using a template or a pattern. At the top you can see the paint has worn but you can also see these similar kind of vase-like patterns as well and then this central star-like design. When we look at this as a whole, we see once again that this type of Pennsylvania German chest is a product of their immigration to America. It's retaining some of the customs like the chest itself and its overall design from where they came from but it's creating something new in their new location, one that paraphrases its antecedent and it utilizes paint to create some of the more elaborate wood, parquetry or intarsia or inlay seen on their European counterparts but they're creating it with paint and they're using materials which they would have found in the United States in their new home like Pine. So that's it for today's Barnes Takeout. I hope you enjoy listening. If you have any questions or comments, please leave them below. Thank you.


What is going on guys welcome back to the channel critical overload here, so we're talking about a few different topics in this video here today We'll be talking about scream six. We'll be talking about saw X We'll be talking about Chucky and the potential third season and The future of the franchise as well as talking about Jeepers creepers a little bit So just kick it off with scream six the name of the bodega in scream six that Sam and terror Are most likely going to be chased into by Ghostface is titled or named Abe's snake bodega That's the name of the shop in scream six That again, it's most likely going to be where this chasing between Sam and terror takes place that leads to Ghostface Willed in a shotgun presumably stealing it from the shop owner I'm assuming Abe is the shop owner name and Abe is the one that again gets his ass blown the F away When he tries to bust a cap in Ghostface bus ghostface turns around and bust a cap back in them or whoever they are So this bodega name is being assumed based off of the set photo from screen six that you see on the screen I do believe that this will be the name of the shop But I also could see it not being the exact name heard in the movie for whatever reason There's also been a leaked image of just to address this this supposed leaked image of Kirby as the killer For those of you have seen it and DM me about it I will say a complete confidence that that is not real the only reason that that is not real is because it's coming from the Same screen six crew stalker person who's been harassing the cast harassing people on Twitter retweeting all this Nudity on their profiles, you know, they go by many different many different names on Twitter Instagram Whatever you have it so many different things from them that person that have proven themselves and not be reliable So it's not true at all whatsoever. They've been spreading lies about the move for months I also want to touch on viewer non who was teased how Gales phone call with Ghostface will go down and apparently She's taunted about how out of her doing in Sydney that if she wound up being the killer how she'd be the most interesting I will say that goes ways isn't wrong there because I see her donning the mask before any of those other two I also could see her ghost face real being very iconic I wouldn't necessarily say I could see gale committing the murders as much as I could see her Maybe orchestrating something just to have a story for the sake of it Maybe not in her current form, but maybe back way back when just saying so I want to touch on saw X next saw X has had some images I guess that were not intended to be revealed by a crew member That were saved and shared online Confirming a return of a big set piece So if you don't want to know what this set piece is you can click away or come back to this video in like a minute or two So the iconic location in the original saw that took place for the majority of the film where we met Dr. Gordon and Adam will make an appearance in this upcoming prequel I'm curious to see how this plays into the story Since it's expected to be set in between saw and saw to with John Kramer again traveling presumably to New New Mexico or Mexico City to deal with something related to his cancer now Some other images were shared online as well We saw Tobin Bail on set with a crew member who I believe this is the same person who shared that image and quickly deleted it There were some other images here, but I know the bathroom was the most unexpected thing that people thought would return in this movie I didn't have these on my radar because I thought given that it was going to be set somewhere else There's no way they could have brought this back unless the big twist in all of this is that someone Again taught jigsaw Tobin Bail or was teaching Tobin Bail's character of jigsaw John Kramer Some things along the way and they were coming back to the States to continue playing their games If that's what happens, I would love to see how that plays out and how the how the Fans of the series receive it me included obviously I don't know if that would necessarily come off Well, if you look back over the series and try to find some like ways that might be overly convoluted But if they go with a twist like that, I hope they were able to make it work Not saying that that's what the twist would be because I have nothing or any knowledge of this movie so far now Are you excited to see this location return to do you not care? My biggest hope again for saw X is that it is able to be a nice send-off for jigsaw since apparently the ones or Twice that we've had in the past were not enough for whatever reason Filming does seem to be going well And I expect we will learn more about the story after filming has wrapped just to jump into Chucky season 3 Or just the seat that's just a franchise at this point because Chucky season 3 hasn't yet been confirmed or announced by USA or sci-fi but Dom and sceny seems prepared to continue the story in film format if necessary In an interview with comic book shortly released after the finale aired this past Wednesday Mencini said this about season 3. He said well, that's the thing is there are no guarantees and we haven't gotten our pickup yet Fingers crossed but just as you say, I mean if we don't get a pickup. I can continue the story in a movie I'm not saying I'd be against that, but I'm also not saying I'd be eager for a third season either I want Chucky to continue. However, it will work best for the crew and for the creative minds involved and the of course of Talent that brings the life on screen I'm also someone who has made it known in other videos that I like them to start figuring out an in-game for this narrative Because I think Chucky deserve a proper conclusion This time as well just like all these other iconic series get their final conclusion or their suitable conclusion I would like Chucky to find its suitable conclusion at some point too If we can get one final movie that wraps up the story of Jake Devin Lexi Caroline Tiffany and Nika then give it to me and call it quits afterward I wouldn't be against it Andy and Kyle seem they've gotten their farewell in season two But I wouldn't be opposed to them being present for one final outing to stop Chucky once and for all now at this stage You know with so many of these survivors present. You're gonna have to kill somebody I would say you would have to kill somebody in the sense that if you want to give the movie some stakes If you're not gonna kill off any of the legacy cast if you want to kill off any of the newbies Go ahead and take that risk when it's up to you how you want to depict it I just think that if you're gonna bring back all these survivors once again You know you need to do something big, but we'll see because I do think the season 3 will happen But if it doesn't I'm not against them just concluding this franchise with one final movie That is a nice send-off for everyone involved that has helped bring this wonderful story to life And of course focus on some of those cons in that in that second season some of the messy writing with the replica Chucky's Some of the things as far as like setting rules breaking rules only seconds or seconds later during the same episode stuff like that But all of that can be resolved because I know Dom has seen as a talented writer He showcased that many times just work on some of those weaknesses of that second season that many people had an issue with Just conclude this by talking about Jeepers Creepers. This is something rather small. That's why it's very last Kirk D'Amico liked a post of from a fan account shout out to you to that account I think you I you're a Brazil account for Jeepers Creepers shout out to you You know who you are it was a post that said hashtag save Jeepers Creepers now This has people thinking that this could mean that they are interested in work doing another project because we know that Myriad pictures is the ones that have sued Infinity Films and everyone involved with the second or the fourth entry reborn this past year Because the fact that they claim to have rights to distribution for the movies I'm not saying that this means obviously that they're gonna work on another project But it definitely does indicate to me that if they are able to do more in the future Myriad pictures seems more than welcome or open to doing more Jeepers Creepers movies I think that at first what will have to happen is this lawsuit gets settled if they end up working with Infinity Films again So be it. I think the biggest person that should be removed because I think they are a big problem is Jake seal I think that that producer should be removed I think you should bring back everybody that brought those first two films to life in the glorious way Bring back the crew do the sequel that people have been waiting for and just call it quits after that if we Don't get the TV show do one final movie that can wrap this show up or this series up nicely But let me know what y'all think about all this down in comment section below if you haven't already of course Make sure you subscribe turn off post notification that you never miss a video in the description I'll have a link some social media accounts. I'm on Facebook Twitter and Instagram You can message me there of course to let me know if there are any movies news or reviews I mean to cover in the future and with all that in mind guys. I will see you in the next video


Hey there YouTube, I just wanted to make a short video to show that you can still unlock the Rygal DS1054Z. This is a brand new unit with the latest firmware. It was delivered to me last Monday. Of course I'm very pleased with it and I'm very pleased that the unlocking facility is still out there. Secretly I believe that Rygal know that it's there and makes this one of the key selling points. On top of the fact there's very little scope anyway but a very good selling point. So enable people to do this. So just in case you're thinking about buying one and you're wondering whether you can still use this facility, I'm going to show you now that mine is currently unlocked. Let's open it up and install. And there they are. Everything there is official. I used one key for this. You can use I think it's like five different keys but I used one key for this and I'm going to show you now which keys I used. Here's the actual website itself. That's where you've got to type into your URL and this is what you should see. Now you can type the serial number of your scope. Now if you bought this from Rygal and they sent you a VAT slip or a receipt via PDF you can just copy and paste. You can drop that in there. It's a serial here. And then you're going to want to go down and decide what options you'd like. For you know this camera but it's the one that I'm focusing on. Now you can see the DS1000Z. That's what you'd go for for this. And generally you just take this option here. And you type this DSFR which is all options. You could choose to put them in singly. Maybe you don't want the 100 megahertz. You know maybe you just want the 24 meg memory and the resolution. But you take that all options DSFR. You type that into the options box there and it will just pop up here with a box with an ice-peak long key. Then you just come back to here. We click in to set up and you turn on the camera. And as you can see here you've got four boxes. And on the page on the website you'd have four box. Basically four groups of numbers and characters. Or just say characters. And you just fill this in. It's on the rotary here. Which can be a little bit. You get used to it. As you can see it's like flying around here a bit. So that this smile is hanging over my finger. But you get used to it. And you just put your numbers in there. Enter it all in. And as long as you do it correctly. That's it. It will just open up all those options for you. And turn your scope into basically 1104Z. Brilliant. Nice and easy. Nice and simple. There you go. That's all there is to it. That's unlocking of the rival DS1054Z. Cheers. Bye bye. Oh, give us a thumbs up if you find this useful please. Thumbs up is always appreciated. Cheers.


Dr. Guido Halsman is a Mises Institute senior fellow and professor of economics at the University of Angers in France. He wrote the comprehensive biography of Ludwig von Mises, an enormous project that gave him unique insights into the mind, work, and life of this 20th century giant. Dr. Halsman subsequently also wrote a fascinating book about the ethics of money production, a topic inspired by Mises himself. We discussed Dr. Halsman's years spent writing the biography, the serendipitous discovery of Mises papers in Moscow that made the book possible, how Mises endured and kept working as Europe burned, and how his personal sacrifices helped pave the way for Austrian academics working today. Stay tuned. Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to another edition of Mises Weekends. I'm Jeff Deist, very happy and pleased to be joined this weekend in studio by a guest visiting us here at the Mises Institute in Auburn, Dr. Guido Halsman. Good morning. Good morning. How are you? I'm doing very fine. It's a great pleasure to be at the Mises Institute. Guido, your book, The Ethics of Money Production was published just about a year after your Mises biography. Did your time spent studying Mises inspire you to write the book? In a way, yes, but not in the way you would expect it. This was rather a theoretical activity, so I could not fully focus on the Mises biography because it was really a lot of work in the sense that I did not really feel as a historian or thought that was not my main passion as a scholar, which was always economics. So writing a Mises biography was an unusual activity and I had to learn many things. Of course, it was very instructive and I got much more educated about many questions, but it was really hard work in the sense that often I did not find much pleasure in doing it. I mean, writing the biography was a provided pleasure, but I mean, researching all those things, that was a lot of hard work. So on the other hand, so then to just let steam off, I always was carrying on some economic research, so I was writing articles that were published in the Quarter Literary Journal of Austrian Economics and other scientific journals, but also then the ethics of money production. And that was, in fact, in a way, it is due to the initiative of one of the supporters of the Mises Institute, the late George Crispin, whom you might have known. So George moved with this very charming wife, Theresa, to Auburn at some point in the late 1990s. He had been an engineer for many decades before. And so he was constantly present and he showed up at our seminars at the Mises Summer University and also at the events that we organized for the students that were here the year long in Auburn. And at one point in 2003, he asked me whether I would be willing to run a seminar for him and his friends. And in some profession, I wonder whether it was the Rotary Club or some of the Lions Club, something of this sort. No, I agree. Yes, why not? So they wanted to have a seminar on monetary economics. So I went with them through the history of monetary thought. And so I had all the lecture notes already provided and then the Mises Institute graciously accepted to publish it. Gido, your biography of Mises is entitled Mises, The Last Night of Liberalism. Now, I know that this was an enormous undertaking, a project that took you many years. Can you go back in time and tell us a little bit about that process? It is a huge project. So yesterday some students asked me if I would accept it again. I think it might have been Florie Lilly, right? She asked me, would you accept to do it again? I said, if somebody asked me now, I would say no. Would you do it again? No, knowing how much work was involved, no. So of course, it's very different because now I'm a Stabler scholar. So many other things I can do and many other things how I can earn my living. So when Lou asked me to write a Mises biography, it came just at the right moment of my career because I did not have an academic position anywhere. I was not a professor, did not have a revenue coming from giving lectures, teaching students, carrying on research. So it came just about the right point of time. I wanted to go back into academia and I had obtained two scholarships in 1996 from two German science foundations, which are the equivalent to the National Foundation for the Sciences or something like this, a very prestigious stuff. So with one, I went to France and the other one, I went to the United States. And just at about the same time when I heard that I had been accepted for these grants, Lou asked me whether I would be willing to write a Mises biography, which was because I knew Austrian economics and because I could read the original material in German, especially and some of it is also in French. The reason why he asked me was because just before it had become known that the documents that Mises carried in his Vienna apartment, which had been confiscated by the Nazis in 1938, had been rediscovered in Moscow out of all places. So the Red Army had discovered all this material stocked in Nazi train wagon, in fact, at the end of the war, and they brought all of this to Moscow. They were not particularly interested in Mises, but Mises papers were stocked with lots of other similar archives that belong to regime opponents. So either liberals like Mises or communists and various Jewish organizations and so on. So the communists brought all of this to Moscow, of course, in the hope that they might find discriminating material that that might use against post war opponents. The first American scholar of an Austrian band who got wind of this was Richard Eberling and Richard Eberling when he was himself working already for some time on a Mises biography, and he went to Moscow, I believe, in 1996 and spent some time in the archives and got copies of the material. He went there with his wife, who is Russian, and so carried this back and then spread the news. Yeah, there is this great stuff out there. And so Lou wished to have someone write a biography of Mises for the Mises Institute. And just at about the same time, I had got in contact with the Mises Institute. I'd been in touch with them since 1994 and they had seen me deliver papers at their conferences in 1995, 96. So in January, 97, I think it was, they wrote to me an email asking me whether I would be willing to do this. And this was like heaven for me because this was my way back into academia. So that's how it started. I must say from my perspective, this biography is an enormous contribution to the scholarship of Austrian economics. And I really believe that a giant like Mises deserved a more comprehensive biography than what existed when you wrote this book. Well, I'm happy that you appreciate the work that I did. And certainly it fills a gap because no such work was available. But in all fairness, it must be said that there are not many persons who have the courage to read a book of more than a thousand pages, which it has become. So the Mises biography is written by Murray Rothbard and by Israel Kirchner and also a market for Mises books certainly have their place and their good function, fortunately for many readers who like to first have a reader's digest or a shorter version. Then of course, I did something that the others couldn't do, namely go through all the Mises papers, which were simply not available, especially the pre-World War Two papers. Other documents had been available, namely all the material that Mises left at his death, so his papers from his decades in the United States, which his wife sold to Grove City College. So they weren't called Grove City College and could have been consulted by Murray Rothbard and Israel Kirchner, but they didn't do this because really, as I mentioned before, this is very painstaking archival work. It's not a great pleasure, especially if you're an economist. It's not the kind of work that you would usually do. But I mean, that's I knew when I agreed to write the Mises biography that that is exactly what I would have to do. So it was also an experience because well, I learned the trade, so to say, of of a story and at least to some extent. Gido, let's talk for a moment about Mises first book, which he wrote at a fairly young age, The Theory of Money and Credit. I was rereading the introduction to that book just recently and really it's amazing how prescient it was. It could have been written today and I'm astounded that he was able to foresee so much and write that book in 1912. Yes, it was a great achievement and we at the occasion of the hundredth anniversary, the centennial of the first publication of this book, we organized a few years back a colloquium at the Austrian scholar's conference in which many colleagues made great contributions. We published the proceedings of that colloquium in a book published by the Mises Institute under the title Theory of Money and Fiduciary Media, Essays in Celebration of the Centennial. And all of us, of course, in a way, it's known if you have a fresh look at a book, you read it again and you come to appreciate this, of course, in more detail than you did before. One of the marks of Mises' writings at a subsequent reading, you always discover things that had escaped your notice previously, which is true for all of his great books, right? You read socialism, you read human action.  But on the occasion of this book, so what I did was to... So I spent a lot of time preparing my chapter to this book. And what I did was to compare the various editions, the first few German editions and the English edition. And I also had to look back on the history of monetary economics in the 19th century, which I did not do for the Mises biography. So in a way, my chapter for this centennial volume is much more in-depth than what I did in the Mises biography. And there already, the chapter dealing with the theory of money credit contains, I think, 40 pages or something like this. So it's already big just to show how rich his monetary thought is and how great the contribution is. And what Mises, in fact, does is to create a great synthesis of 100 years of classical monetary thought. That's what he does. So he reads all the material coming from Adam Smith and great contribution from Adam Smith is to say, well, we cannot grow rich by having more money, especially not by manipulating the money supply. And so wealth comes elsewhere. It comes from hard work, comes from the division of labor. It comes from a frugal lifestyle. It comes from innovation and so on, but not from the spending of money. And of course, this resuscitated various responses. And then there are all the money cranks also in the 19th century that somehow had a valid point. So they could create cracks in the in the classical edifice and finally brought it to collapse because Adam Smith's monetary thought was not well developed. And so someone needed to bring all of these elements together, the valid points and the criticism, but also reinvigorate the true foundations that had been laid by Adam Smith, David Ricardo and Jean-Baptiste Seyre. And that's what Mises does in this book. That's his great achievement. And at the same time, then he opens further areas for research in the 20th century, the importance of free banking, the various ways in which monetary manipulation have impoverished us. And which is one of my research, the cultural consequences of meddling with government meddling with money. So the time between Mises' first book in 1912 and then writing his magnum opus, Human Action, in 1949, saw an enormous amount of changes, especially in Europe. From his perspective, he must have thought that the world was on fire and that liberalism was dying in Europe. It certainly was on fire. I mean, the real world was crumbling. There's this famous book by one of Mises' contemporaries. The world of yesterday, right? Stefan Zweig was a famous writer, still famous today, in which he described the world as it was until World War One. And as a contrast to the world that his contemporaries, because he was writing in the interwar period, they noticed the big differences. Of course, for us, it's even bigger. And if you read Zweig today and say, wow, this is really a completely different world. So Mises saw this world on fire, as you say, and he saw that it collapsed in a much more dramatic way than even we see it today. Of course, you look at American policy in the past 15 years, say, wow, this is really a very fast degradation, but it's nothing as compared to what Mises witnessed between 1914 and 1949, especially the rise of totalitarian regimes, mass murder everywhere in Germany, in Soviet Russia, in the various pity Bolshevik regimes that exist at the time. So it was a terrible time. And all the more admirable is it that he found the courage to carry on, that he found the hope that one day things would be better and that he realized that the intellectual foundations for any renaissance of Western civilization would have to be laid and had to be laid by somebody like him. So he filled in the gap that nobody else could fill. And he was not discouraged by the fact that few people realized how important his work was at the time. Gido, talk about Mises' experience in coming to the US and the rather shabby treatment he received at the hands of American academia. If I look back at the events of the past 20 years, as far as career opportunities for Austrian economists are concerned, I mean, we've made huge progress. So today it is possible, virtually for all of our young PhD graduates to find a job at a university or at a college, and it is increasingly possible to get jobs in well-ranked universities, well-considered universities like this, that is possible. And I think it will also improve in the future. On the other hand, and here's the lesson to which you probably refer to. The lesson is that there's still a sacrifice. If you're very brilliant, you will never make it to one in our present day, you will never make it to one of the very top schools. So there's always a sacrifice that you have to accept. And so you need to be motivated by other things than personal success of a material sort and maybe of glory. And you need to be motivated by the power of truth and the noble dignity of justice. And of course, Murray Rothbard, like Mises, made tremendous personal sacrifices in terms of his own career to stay true to his vision of proper, correct economics. Yes. And that, I think, is the true motivation of a true scholar you should carry for truth. And you should think not in a temporal horizon of your own lifespan, but of many generations. That's the right approach. And it's the approach that can give you great satisfaction, even if your impact at your own lifetime is limited. Gido, as we wrap this up, I'd just like to raise a point that you raised in the epilogue to your biography of Mises. Like Mises himself, you challenge this mainstream critique that Austrianism is somehow unscientific in its methodology. Yes. And he stressed this even more so than in human action. That is a subject matter of two later works that he published. One is Theory and History. And the other one is Ultimate Foundation of Economic Science. So a Theory and History is a wonderful book that the Mises Institute recently republished. There's a new edition available. It was first published in 1956. And the subject matter of the book is precisely what is the proper scientific interpretation and what are the limits of a scientific interpretation that we can give to social history. So up to which point can science, scientific inquiry, rational methods provide us sound foundation and true insight, true knowledge. And when does it start to become fishy? When does it start to become to be based on pure speculation and on ideology? And precisely, the problem of positivism is that it transgresses the boundaries of reason, especially in the field of human action and the interpretation of society. And therefore it opens the doors to ideology. Dr. Guido Hausmann, thank you for your time this weekend. It's great having you here and have an excellent summer. Thanks, folks. Tune in next week.


Hi, I'm David Rosales, senior pastor of Calvary Chapel Chinavalli. This week we'll continue our journey through chapter 15 of 1 Corinthians as we focus on the doctrine of the resurrection. In verse 20, the apostle Paul said, But now Christ is risen from the dead and has become the firstfruits of those who have fallen asleep. The point he's making in this verse is simply that Christ is risen from the dead. Since Jesus is risen from the dead, the leavers do not need to be pitied as he addressed in verse 19. Since he's risen, the resurrection of his disciples must also take place, which Paul refers to as those who have fallen asleep.  This is the third time in this chapter that Paul has spoken of death as sleep and he'll say it again later in verse 51. Now you may be wondering why Paul chose to refer to Jesus as the firstfruits. In the Old Testament, firstfruits refer to the representative sample of the harvest that was to come. Under Jewish law, they could not harvest their grain until an offering was made. This is known as the firstfruits offering. We see this in Leviticus 23 verses 10 and 11, where it says, When you come into the land which I give to you and reap its harvest, then you shall bring a sheaf of your firstfruits of your harvest to the priest. He shall wave the sheaf before the Lord to be accepted on your behalf. In Jesus' death and resurrection, he made himself an offering to the Father on our behalf. And as the firstfruits, Jesus has paved the way for the harvest of the rest of the crop. We are the rest of the crop. His resurrection was not an isolated event, but foretold our coming resurrection. In Romans chapter 6 verse 5, it says, For if we have been united together in the likeness of his death, certainly we also shall be in the likeness of his resurrection. May we be encouraged by the assurance of our coming resurrection, and may we live our lives with thankfulness as Christ has paved the way as the firstfruits of the harvest. God bless you.


Hi everyone, I'm Gizem Solmaz. I'm going to talk about open access and preprints today. Let's start like what open access mean. Open access refers to free online availability of research articles without any restrictions on access reuse or sharing. This means that anyone anywhere in the world can read and use the research without having to pay a fee or obtain permission. And it has like many important like many important reasons I wanted to like include here three of them. The first reason is like open access increases the visibility and impact of the research, because like as you all know sometimes peer review or publishing the articles takes longer terms than we would expect it, like sometimes like two years three years and some of the like researcher findings are in like in immediate need, need to publish their results because they can build upon it. I think we saw a really important example during the covert time. Like through open accesses this process can be faster. It promotes core collaboration and innovation in a faster way because researchers will be able to reach out your results and publications from any background or any affiliation. And it supports the principles of public access to knowledge. Like I said like your, your publications will be available to any, anybody in the world and the guarding of their background. And what preprint means like a preprint is the manuscript copy of an article that is sent to publishers for consideration and peer review. It's a version of a research article that has not been yet peer reviewed or published in a traditional way. And they have generally their own representatives to publish and like I included like two examples here. And they are freely accessible to anyone. Preprints are becoming increasingly increasing popular in many scientific disciplines, and they allow researchers to share their findings quickly and easily without having to wait for length to peer review and publication processes. And it promotes receiving feedback on their work before it is published in a traditional journal, and it helps identify potential collaborators for the future directions of the research. So what what what is the like open science frameworks role in open access and preprints open science framework is an online platform that provides a free open science open source platform for managing research projects. As you can see actually like, like open access and preprints are already embedded inside of open science framework. It has features and integrations with the preprint service like BRWICS and SyRWICS. And this integration allows researchers to easily deposit their preprints on these servers directly from open science framework, making it quick and easy to share their research with the wider community. The open science framework provides the range of tools and resources to support open and reproducible research practices. And this include like data management tools project management tools and collaboration features that makes it easier to work with others on the research project. I included some resources to learn about more learn more about open access and preprints but if you have any questions feel free to send me an email. Thank you so much.
