The challenge of the Yukon It's you can't Strongest lead dog of the Northwest Blazing the trail for Sergeant Preston of the Northwest mounted police in his relentless pursuit of lawbreakers Gold gold discovered in the Yukon a stampede to the Klondike in the wild race for riches Back to the days of the gold rush with Sergeant Preston and his wonder dog Yukon King as they meet the challenge of the Yukon The Northern Lights Cafe in Dawson City was crowded with its usual motley array of customers bearded prospectors and trappers rub shoulders with eager gold rushers newly arrived in the territory Among the men lined up at the bar was a big broad-shouldered young miner named Ed Russell a friend standing next to him was saying That claim of yours pan it out. I hear you struck it pretty rich. I sure did Sam. My claim is really loaded But it looks like I may have to sell out. Well, how come my little boy's not very well climate doesn't seem to agree with him Doctor told us we ought to take him back to the States. That's too bad. I'm sorry to hear trouble is I can't get a decent price for my claim how much you're asking for I don't aim to take less than ten thousand dollars for But so far the best offer I've had is only five thousand Ten thousand is a pretty steep price. It's worth all of that and probably a lot more I'm telling you Sam. I wouldn't be surprised with what that claim is good for Two men seated at a nearby table it overheard the conversation between Ed and Sam One of them not the other a max you hear what that young guy was saying just now Yeah, he's got a rich claim and he wants to sell out. He's asking ten thousand bucks for it Well, we can afford to pay him ten grand or even fifty grand if necessary This counterfeit money ain't doing there's no good in our pockets just what I was thinking Why don't we have a little talk with him? Good idea. All right, you stay here. I'll bring him over to the table I May have to do it Tommy's health is worth a lot more to me than the price of my claim excuse me mister But I'd like to introduce myself My name is Art. Lusk. Glad to know you. I'm Ed Russell. I happened to overhear what you were saying about selling your claim My partner and I would like to talk business with you. You mean you're interested in buying me out. That's right How about coming over to our table and talking it over my shirt? Where's your partner right over there? At ball headed gents sitting by himself. Okay. Excuse me a minute. What do you say sure sure go right here? Well, here we are. Oh, and I'd like to have you meet my partner max Delmar max. This is Ed Russell. Well, howdy young fella pull up a chair. Thanks. I Understand you've got a rich claim and you want to sell out. That's right But I don't know whether you can meet my price. I'm asking ten thousand for now Don't you worry about that if your claims worth it? We'll pay you ten grand for it in can't absolutely Cash on the barrel in that case. I don't see why we can't make a deal. Where's your claim located? It's ten below discovery on Cy wash Creek. All right. I'll tell you what Suppose we come out to your place tomorrow morning. We look to claim over if it's as rich as you say it is We'll come back here to Dawson draw up a contract and close the day fair enough, mr. Let's shake on that That evening when Ed Russell returned to his cabin on Cy wash Creek His wife was just setting the table for supper. Hi, honey Mmm smells mighty good to house Tommy His coughs almost gone he's sleeping now. Oh, that's good He shakes off this cold. Let's hope he can stay well for a while. I just dread going through another winter up here Tommy needs a good long spell in a warm climate in order to build up his resistance. Well Looks as though he won't have to spend another winter up here. What do you mean? I found a buyer for the claim Did you really I should say two buyers to be exact their names are Max Del Mar and Art Luss They're coming out tomorrow morning to look the claim over and if everything's satisfactory We'll go back to town and close the deal. I can hardly wait Just think in another week. We may be on our way back home to the state with ten thousand dollars in our pockets Enough to live comfortably for a change and give us a real start in life Yeah, honey, I guess we have a lot to be thankful for The following morning in Dawson City, Sergeant Preston was called into the office of Inspector Conrad You wanted to see me inspector. Yes, I just had word from the United States Treasury Department The two American counterfeiters may be hiding out here in the territory. Why are they sir? Their names are Max Del Mar and Arthur Lusk. We have descriptions of them But no photographs. There's any counterfeit money turned up in the territory. No, it's that Sergeant Del Mar and Lusk Were members of a counterfeiting ring that was broken up in the States a few months ago They were the only ones who escaped. Well, how do the American authorities trace them up here? Well, it's known that they boarded a ship in Seattle that was bound for Skagway That means there's a good chance that they were heading for the Yukon territory They have any counterfeit money in their possession? Yes, sergeant according to the members of the ring who were captured Del Mar and Lusk were carrying nearly a hundred thousand dollars in counterfeit currency Probably think it'll be easy to pass up here in the Yukon the Treasury Department sent along an exact description of the counterfeit Bills. I want you to circulate this information to all the banks and business houses in Dawson. Very well, sir I'll get busy right away. Here's the full report sergeant. You can study it for yourself Let me know as soon as you get any leads. Right Inspector. Come on. Oh That afternoon Ed Russell came to Dawson and signed the deed of sale which transferred ownership of the claim to the two crooks By the way, do you mind if we take a day or so to clear out of the cabin? Take a little while to get ready for the trip back to the States. Not at all Not at all. Take two or three days if you like. Thanks. That's mighty nice of you. Well, I'd better be going I guess so long. So long and good luck to you Yeah, so long sucker. I hope he don't take too long clearing out of the territory Max you think there's any danger of those bills being spotted as phony. Not a chance Took the Secret Service a year to get wise to us back in the States up here in the Yukon They'll never be able to tell these bills from the real thing. I guess you're right Look, we'll buy up some more claims sell them off as fast as we can in a couple of months. We can make ourselves a fortune After leaving the hotel Ed went to the Yukon Territorial Bank to deposit the ten thousand dollars How much you got there Ed? Ten thousand dollars. I suppose you want to count it out. That's right Not that I don't trust you Say wait a minute. What's the matter with this money's counterfeit Ed? Well, counterfeit. Are you sure? I'm positive Sergeant Preston came around to the bank just this morning and warned us to be on the lookout for bills like these. Why those dirty skunks? They were trying to swindle me. Who was it gave you the money? A couple of smooth gents named Max Del Mar and Art Lusk I just made over my claim to them. They've got the deed of sale all signed and witnessed Yeah, we better report this counterfeit money to the Mounties right away Ed. Don't worry I'll report the whole thing to the Mounties But first I'm going over to the Palace Hotel and get back that deed of sale And while I'm there I'm going to give Del Mar and Lusk something to remember me by Boiling with rage over the way the two crooks had tried to swindle him Ed Russell hurried back to the Palace Hotel Without bothering to knock he burst into their room. Hey, what's the idea?  I just found out that money you paid me was counterfeit Oh, you did huh and Just how did you find that out the bank teller spotted it? That's how Now hurry up and hand over that deed of sale you swindled me into signing Suppose we give you back that deed of sale what do you intend to do?  What get your hands up Russell gun. Yeah, it's a gun all right Let's load it to you let out a yell for helping out blast you the king come Now turn around what are you going to do turn around and find out that's better I'll show you what I'm going to do You lay them out cold max Yeah, there's no telling how long you'll stay that way Better rip up the bed sheets time up and gag him good idea a few minutes later The two crooks finished tying and gagging the unconscious man. I don't hold them Now what are we gonna do max? I don't know. I don't know we're in a bad spot Looks like we better pull our freight for the Mounties get on our trail trouble is we need dough We got plenty of counterfeit fat a lot of good that'll do us once the Mounties get wise to us They'll spread the word all over the territory to be on the lookout for phony bills. Yeah, I guess you're right Hey, I got an idea. Let's hear it We still got the deed of sale given his ownership of Russell's claim If we can sell the claim in a hurry we can pick ourselves up a few thousand bucks and then make our getaway It'll take time to find a buyer. Maybe not they got mine brokers up here that make a business of buying and selling claims We can go to one of them and take any price. You'll give us Yeah, I guess that's better than nothing. Come on. Let's go. All right Later that afternoon the bank teller from the Yukon territorial bank came to Mounted Police headquarters He found Sergeant Preston seated in the office with the great dog Yukon King curled up beside his desk No, hello Frank. Hello Sergeant. Is Ed Russell been here yet? Not that I know of I just came in a few minutes ago Why well he showed up at the bank and our saw go with ten thousand dollars in counterfeit bills in that case I'm sure he hasn't been in the constable on duty would have notified me Well, the bills were the kind you warned us to watch out for it. I'd tell you where he got them Yes, he sold his claim the ten thousand dollars was the money. He got paid for it strange. He hasn't come around the headquarters He say where he was going when he left the bank Well, I told him to report to you right away, but he was pretty mad He said first he was going to get back the deed of sale from the men He sold the claim to and give them something to remember him by no wonder he hasn't shown up. You mean Maybe something's happened to him the counterfeiters who gave him that money or wanted criminals They might kill to keep from getting caught great Scott. I I never thought of that I should have come here before but I assumed that Ed would report the matter to you No need to blame yourself. I did a very foolish thing I don't suppose he gave you any information about the man who gave him the money Well as a matter of fact, he did he said the names were Let me see. Oh, yes at Del Mar and Lusk likes Del Mar and Arthur Lusk The counterfeiters all right. Yeah, he said he was going to see them at the palace hotel I guess that's where they're staying and better go over there right away Well, let me go with you sergeant if anything's happened Ed. I feel partly responsible. I want to find out if he's all right All right, we look at my pocket When Sergeant Preston arrived at the palace hotel He found out from the desk clerk that Del Mar and Lusk had left the hotel about an hour ago But hadn't checked out the sergeant obtained a passkey from the clerk and went up to their room to investigate Well, here's their room right here sergeant. Yes, the desk clerk said it was 2 13 Holy mackerel late said it is all tied up. Take it easy and I'll soon get this guy go. Yep. There you go Thanks sergeant. Thanks a lot Kagan's down here suffocating me. Thank goodness. You're still alive. We were halfway expecting to find you dead I'll cut through this stuff. They tied you up with how did you happen to come here? And I told the sergeant about that counterfeit money you got for your claim and he suspected right away You might have gotten in trouble luckily Frank remember you were going to the palace hotel Otherwise you might have been up here for a good long time there. Thanks. I sure feels good to get loose again I guess it was pretty dumb of me coming here by myself instead of going straight to you sergeant It's never smart to take the law into your own hands ed dealing with criminals is the job of the police I sure found that out what happened Well, I came here and got tough with them and tried to get back the deed of sale I'd signed and Delmar pulled a gun on me. He knocked me out in that case I don't suppose you know where they've gone. I do know where they went sergeant You see I came to again while they were tying me up, but they didn't know it because I pretended I was still unconscious. I heard them talking to each other what they say well They figured they'd make a getaway fast, but apparently they didn't have much money Except for the counterfeit bills they were carrying so so they decided to take the deed of sale I signed and go sell the claim to a mind broker for any price I could get I didn't say which mind broker no I guess they were just going to stop in the first office. They came to there There's a dozen or more mind brokers offices along front street. I'll try them all if necessary You feel well enough to come with me. I'm sure I feel okay except for this lump on my head. All right in here Ready, let's go come along king The first mind brokers office which sergeant Preston and Ed Russell came to was operated by a man named Arnold Brewster As the sergeant and Ed entered the office. They were greeted by Brewster's clerk Hello, Dave mr. Brewster in no he isn't I'm afraid he won't be back till this evening. I help you Well, perhaps we're looking for two men who were trying to sell a claim on Cy wash Creek You know if they came in here by their names Max Delmore and the art less those are the men all right They sure did come in here In fact, that's where mr. Brewster's gone. He went out to Cy wash Creek with him to inspect the client Thanks, Dave. That's all we wanted to know. Come on Ed. We'll get our teams and go after them It was more than an hour later that the two crooks arrived at the claim on Cy wash Creek The mind broker Arnold Brewster was with them You better go up to the cabinet let mrs. Russell know we're here Yeah, we'll borrow some digging tools from her so mr.  Hello there. Howdy mrs. Russell. I'm sorry to disturb you. Oh, you're not disturbing me This is our day for visitors. I guess Mr. Dunlap here arrived just before you did mr. Dunlap. Yes, I'd like to have you meet him Oh, mr. Dunlap. This is mr. Delmar and his partner mr. Glad to know you homework Dunlap's a name. I represent the ace mining company Well, I guess we've got some introducing to do ourselves this gent. We brought with us is mr. Arnold Brewster He's a mind broker from Dawson City Didn't my husband come back from town with you why uh, no no he didn't mrs. Russell I I guess he wanted to deposit the money in the bank and do some shopping or something You'll probably be along anytime now. I see you close the deal for the claim I take it. Yeah, that's right Then I guess you're out of luck mr. Dunlap. Oh, what do you mean? I came here prepared to make the Russell's an offer for the claim on behalf of the ace mining company But now that you and mr. Lusk bought the claim naturally you won't be interested in selling. Oh is a matter of fact We are interested in selling it you are yes Yes, you see right after we closed the deal with your husband We we got an urgent letter from the states that makes it necessary for us to leave the Yukon territory Well, that's why we brought mr. Brewster out here so he could look over the claim Well, that's fine if you and your partner are interested in selling the claim I'll make you an offer right now. No wait a minute done that I didn't make this trip out from town just for my health I'm here to bid on the claim to well We'll be glad to hear offers from both of you that right Max. Absolutely. I have no intention of engaging in any competitive bidding I'm here to make you a fair offer and you can take it or leave it all right, sir Now just what do you consider a fair offer? Well, I understand for mrs. Russell it's you would have pay her husband 10,000 for the claim I'll top that with an offer of 11,000 Leaving you a clear profit of $1,000. How about you Bruce? 11,500 see here Brewster. You've got no business making an offer like that You haven't even examined the claim if you offer 11,000. I automatically figure it's worth at least 500 more than that Very well, I'll raise my offer to 12,000 Now do you want to top that? Reckon before I go any higher, I'd better take a look at the claim Can you two gentlemen wait till then to hear my final offer? Why sure if you don't take too long Art, suppose you take mr. Brewster out and show him the diggings. I'll stay here with mr. Dunlap I guess mrs. Russell won't mind if you borrow her husband's tools. Oh, of course not. They're out back in the woodshed When art loss can Brewster return to the cabin after inspecting the claim Homer Dunlap. I'd the mind broker suspiciously Well, what's the verdict before I commit myself? I'd like to know if that 12,000 represents Dunlap's final offer. That's none of your business. Go ahead and make your own offer. Very well 12,500 13,000 13,500 Brewster, I'd like to ring your neck. I know what you're up to I was looking out the window and I saw you take that walk down the creek What's he talking about art? Search me while I was thawing out the gravel Brewster took a stroll and talked to the miner and the Next claim down the creek never mind that Well done lap.  Aren't you yes? I am I'll go 14,000. Oh look here you two Dunlap is merely an agent for the ace mining company. There's no telling whether or not they'll back up his offer I'm speaking for myself, and I'm offering you 15,000 what's more I'll sign a contract with you right here now if you're smart you'll take my offer sounds pretty good to me How about it Max? Yeah? Yeah, maybe Brewster's talking sense now. Wait a minute. Wait a minute. I'm carrying $20,000 of my wallet right now That's the absolute limit that I'm empowered to offer you take it or leave it You want to go any higher Brewster? No, no, I reckon you'll have to count me out confounded pirate All right then done lab. Let's see the color your money We'll make over the claim to you right now after the two crooks had produced the deed of sale and signed over the claim to the ace mining company Homer Dunlap counted out the money. There you are $20,000. Thank you Maybe now you won't mind telling us why Brewster took that walk down the creek The fact is the ace mining company is buying up claims all along the creek in order to start large-scale mining operations Brewster evidently found that out and Figured if he could get hold of your claim he could resell to us for a quick profit. Well, all's well the names well That's what I always say All right, I guess you and me better be on our way. Yeah, let's go What someone's coming maybe that's Ed now getting back from town It is and there's a money with what's that Now see here what's the meaning of this shut up and start reaching before a plug all you get over there line up against a wall Go on get moving Are you keeping covered? I'll handle them out right Reach pull it better watch that dog ears Mountie one false move now pull it in his head Thank you Elmar, I advise you to put that gun down You're in trouble enough without adding any more violence to your record.  You let me worry about that Yeah, what do you want? We can lock them in there while we make our getaway good idea I'll hurt these two guys back there. You follow up with the rest of them, right a Few moments later the prisoners had been herded into the woodshed and the crooks prepared to shut them in Remember we got guns and you guys haven't so don't try busting out before we make our getaway We'll spray you with lead The door be locked in The prisoners waited for several moments intense silence until they heard the muffled barking of huskies as the crooks prepared to drive away Then the sergeant put his shoulder against the door and he'd with all his strength But the door refused to give again the sergeant tried this time drawing back several paces and hurling himself against the door as hard as possible Still without success here. Let me try it with you surgeon. Maybe the two of us can all right together now Again and again the two men hurl their weight against the door But although the wood splintered slightly the door still refused to give finally had said it's no use Sergeant had two by four the doors barred with his two strong left to chop our way out must have an accent here somewhere Haven't yeah, that's right. I was forgetting all about that. It's right back here in the corner Added to me in here you are thanks. I'll let you people stand back, please The door was built of thick planks But finally the sergeant chopped a hole through which he could put it out does it always through and unbothered or if me outside as The prisoners rushed out of the shed and ran around to the front of the cabin They were greeted by the sight of huskies trailing lengths of harness snarling and fighting among themselves They've got the traces on our sleds. I have an extra harness inside the cabin sergeant.  I just made a deal with those two crooks for $20,000 kind of a deal are you talking about what this claim from them? I'm afraid you paid the money to the wrong party What do you mean? They bought the claim from Ed Russell with counterfeit money, so the data sale wasn't valid the claim still belongs to Ed Thanks, Ed you're hitching up your team. I'm going over to Joe Carter's cabin and borrow another harness What for I can go with you better not it is going to be gunplay. No use arguing with me sergeant You may need help handling those credit precious time was lost before the two teams were hitched up But finally the sergeant and Ed were ready to stop may not to clear enough trail to follow Yes, they're heading north if we cut over the hills is a chance. We cannot accept them Don't worry about me, honey, I'll be all right.  Let's go For nearly two hours the sergeant and Ed urged their teams forward at desperate pace in pursuit of the crooks Night had fallen and the sky was brilliant for the full moon and the flashing northern lights when they finally topped the crest of a steep hill and Sighted their quarry driving along the trail in the valley far below. There they go Ed hunting With their sleds traveling at breakneck speed the sergeant and Ed literally hurled down the hillside the crooks for driving separate teams Heartlust was in the rear. He turned and began firing wildly at the sergeant Knowing the range was too great. The sergeant didn't bother to reply with his carbine Finally the crooks it's shot for used up and the hammer clicked on an empty chamber with a curse He flung the now useless gun down on his sled as the sergeant drew closer He shouted to last up for the name of the clown instead of stopping lusk urged on his team to greater effort The sergeant could have shot him But it was against his nature and against the principles of the force as they closed in King raced ahead Intending to drag the crook from his sled, but the sergeant shouting okay I'll take him up a head boy and stop that of the team Instinctively the great dog understood his master's command and raced forward in pursuit of the leading crook A few moments later the sergeant drew a breast of our plus he shouted to the team At the same time he leaped at the crook knocking him from his sled But crook fought with desperate fury kicking and punching like a madman as they struggled on the ground But the sergeant who was driven by desperation for King's sake He had to finish the fight quickly at that moment Ed Russell arrived on the scene What's he mad I'm going after the other one the sergeant raced toward his team which had hauled it several yards away He jumped on the sled runners and cracked the whip By now Delmar was far down the trail the Mounties team strained forward to their master's command Bit by bit they closed the gap between the sergeant and his quarry Meanwhile King and nearly overtaken the crook at the sound of his snarrow Delmar drew his gun and turned to take aim at the great dog with lightning speed the sergeant grabbed up his carbine and fired With a scream of pain Delmar clutched his arm and toppled from his sled as he hit the ground He tried to grab up his gun with his left hand But King stopped him with a vicious slash of his fangs The great dog was still standing over him menacingly when sergeant Preston reached the scene Good work King Certainly as soon as I pick up your gun. All right, King. I have it boy. Let him up now On your feet Delmar you and your partner are under arrest in the name of the crown Homer Dunlap was waiting at the cabin with mrs. Russell and tommy when sergeant Preston and Ed returned with the two prisoners late that night Honey, I told you not to worry All right, all right Surgeon did you get back my 20,000 I haven't searched them yet, but they probably have the money with them Don't worry. It's right here in my pocket You mean they stole 20,000. Oh, I forgot to tell you and This man bought your claim from Delmar and lusk paid 20,000 for it. Well, but of course the deal wasn't valid 20,000 that's right. I represent the ace mining company If you're willing to sell the claim, I'll pay you the same price for it. Am I willy? Holy mackerel, honey. We're rich Well king, oh boy, that seems to take care of everything this case is full We now take you to northwest mounted police headquarters in Dawson Is that for me inspector?

I want that gang broken up and the criminal is brought to justice. Right, sir Come on gang. We have a big job ahead of us Yes, the sergeant is taking on a big and dangerous assignment He's up against a well organized gang of fur thieves operating on a large scale Somewhere in the background.

It's been one month since the war in Ukraine broke out. A war many had hoped would not happen, but took place nonetheless. And it's no exaggeration to say that the world has drastically changed in this one month, and the implications for the future could be even more dire, could be even more transformative in so many ways. We'll be talking about some of these issues in this episode of Mapping Fortlines. We are joined by Prabir Pulkaj sir. Prabir, so like we see one month since the Russian operation, the Russian attack was launched. Of course, it's been on the one hand, there's been military incursions from various sides of Ukraine, as we've talked about in various episodes in the past. There's been an air attack, there's been the use of missiles. And we've seen that there's been a lot of confusion as well when it comes to reportage about it, a lot of speculation often driven by intelligent sources regarding what Russia's actual aims are. Are they actually being met at all? Of course, one side saying that Russia is crashing to an ignominious defeat is one narrative that is very common. But if we take stock based on what we see on the map, what we see on the kind of operations that are actually taking place on the ground, where would you put the situation right now, 30 days after the war has started? It depends on what you think, the objectives of the Russian military intervention was all about. If you take what the West claims, and let's face it, the West controls the information war, whatever information we are getting on our newspaper, in our newspapers, television, a lot of it is really based on Western sources because the Russians have been virtually removed from the global information map. RT News is not available in most countries. Even the internet doesn't really give access to Russian sites very easily. Russian, whatever their sources are, whatever they're saying on Twitter, they've been virtually removed. So we are getting completely one-sided picture of what's happening in Ukraine, except for the maps which do show that significant progress has been made in terms of encirclement of Kiev, encirclement of some of the major population centers like Kharkiv, Mariupol war is going on, which it seems that Russia has almost broken through the defenses over there. And if we look at Eastern Ukraine, you will see that there's significant now areas under Russia's military control. The real key issue is what are Russia's military objectives? Now if you take the two things that we know Russia has been saying from the beginning, it's essentially demilitarizing Ukraine. Or in other words, breaking Ukraine's military. That is obviously a key objective. Other is denazification, which of course would mean Ukraine would have to agree to certain things, leaving that out because that could happen only in a peace negotiations or a final negotiations that both sides come to. If you look at the military scenario, as you said, there are two kinds of scenarios, one, Russia doing very badly, not being able to take over cities. Kiev has been encircled, but it's not been taken over, etc., etc., etc. That is one part of it. And really stories about how Russians are falling like nine pins, generals are continuously dying, aircraft, tanks, everything are being blown up, etc., again. But if you look at how Russians look at war, there are two really detailed reports on this. One is what now appears to be a defense department leak in the United States to Newsweek, certainly not a pro-Russian organization, news organization by any means. That has said that this is a defense department analyst who's saying it. And it's obviously being leaked because they are worried that if the picture is given in such a one-sided way, then there is a possibility that it might spin over or spin out of control and you will get really a nuclear war. So given that, people should at least have a clear idea of what's happening. Otherwise, their expectations are that Russia is collapsing. So why doesn't NATO declare a no-war zone as it did over Libya, for instance? And treat Russia as if it's a Libya. So that is the way things are being built up. And I think the caution was that this should not happen. And their analysis, as I said, the Newsweek is no pro-Russian mouthpiece. It's very clear that Russia has not treated the war as, for instance, the US did Iraq, that in the first day, the number of sorties that the US had made on Iraq, Russia in 24 days, that was at that time 24 days. That 24 days, it had not made that many number of sorties. It had been very limited in its use of air against particularly civilian areas. And it acts only to complement the land forces. This is one way to look at it. But they have taken out military installations all over Ukraine. And that seems to have been their target. But the civilian attacks or attacks over civilian facilities, we've seen in Kharkiv and Mariupol relatively much more restricted than any other part because these were military objectives. And as we know, if you want to take over military areas, if you want to take over urban areas, there's a huge loss of life that takes place on both sides. And they didn't want to do that, as we can see, or destroy large urban areas. So Mariupol is a very clear target because it's the head of the Nazi forces over there as of battalion, which is according to them the ones who did also the Odessa massacres. So they have been clearly targeted. And I think the way it's going down, Mariupol is going to be taken over the Russian forces completely. So given all of that, I don't think the objective was really marching into Kiev. But keeping the military tight down in Kiev in other urban areas, while they do what the real target was, if you look at the eastern Ukraine, the major concentration of Ukrainian army, a significant part of the Ukrainian army, seems to be present on the borders of the Donetsk, Lugansk, independent or self-declared republics, whichever way you want to call it. And that seems to be something which they have been able to slowly grind down, surround whatever you say. And it seems the cauldrons forming there will see perhaps the major part of those forces being either withdrawn or being crushed over there. So that is the time it appears to me that you will see realistic discussions between Ukraine and Russia takes place, unless we get various jokers in the pack who then say, no, no, we can put as a Polish government seems to be saying, we'll put NATO peacekeepers in Ukraine.  And let's face it, a war like this will spin out of control very quickly, possibly. And we have the threat of a nuclear arm again. So given that, it doesn't seem that there is still a realistic way of understanding the war through Western eyes. And it seems the Western leaders still believe, are starting to believe their own propaganda, as we saw in the prank call made by Lexus, somebody who rang up the Defense Secretary of the United Kingdom. And if you see what he's saying, the important part of it is not that he was tricked into saying all of this, but the complete contempt he seems to have for Russia and whatever Russia can do. And here is United Kingdom, a bloated, ex-colonial power, a little island, as Stalin called it once, a little bit of disturbance in the Atlantic. So they sort of dictating that we have the sanctions around Russia's neck, that this is, I think, the key misconception that the West has vis-a-vis Russia, and what amount of military power they have vis-a-vis Russia. Right. So Praveen, the other, of course, key aspect of the past one month really has been the economic war, the kind of sanctions that have been imposed, the implications it will have. Countries across the world, we talked about this last time, responding in their own ways to the war based on the economic impact this crisis might have on them. We know oil supplies, oil prices have been jumping up and down. Natural gas supplies, fertilizer, chemical supplies as well. So a lot of questions at stake for the future of the entire world's economy. Now one of the most recent developments on this front has been Russia's Vladimir Putin statement that he will ask non-friendly countries to pay for oil and gas supplies in rubles. Now this is really sort of upended the card because it's not very clear what this means, what kind of implications it has. So could you talk a bit about this? Well, if I understood it, I'd really be able to talk about it more clearly. I am looking at all the experts, and I'm good to call them so-called experts because this is a completely new scenario. Therefore, there are no experts in this. That this is the first time Russia has said, we will accept payment only rubles. So what does it mean? How do countries which are non-friendly, unfriendly countries, that's what he has said, if unfriendly countries have to buy rubles to pay Russia, how do they do it? So according to some of the financial experts, that means that they will have to in turn lift sanctions on Russia. The Russian central bank or on Russian sanctioned banks allow German or other European banks to transfer money to Russia so that they can buy the rubles. So it's in fact, it is not a sanction, it's a counter sanction move. That's the argument that, for instance, naked capitalism you've Smith is giving in her website. But as I said, not many people are clear about it. But one thing is very clear, let's ask the other question. If Russia, for instance, sells to Germany or any of the European countries, gas or oil, accepts euros in return, which is what they were doing earlier, what happens to those euros? Do they still stay within the European Union's financial system? Are they still inaccessible to Russia? Because those euro accounts will actually be also considered frozen. So all of this means that you're asking for gas, but you will pay in a currency which Russia will not have access to, to those accounts. So effectively you're still expropriating, if you will, either euros or Russian gas. So if you can't pay for commodities, then why would I supply you commodities? That's a question that comes up. And here Russia is, I think, making a move which says, if you are willing to take over my money, which I get by trading goods with you and I'm giving you goods for which you are, you should give me the money, which you are holding. Now you're expropriating it. Why should I then transfer money, gas to you when whatever money that you're supposed to be giving me as is still going to be held by you is not going to come to me or I cannot use it? So this is the fundamental issue. And therefore when European leaders, including very senior professionals of the European Union, have said, this is a breach of contract, this is actually laughable. Because how can you talk of a breach of contract when you have seized $300 billion of Russian reserves and a significant part of it is in euros? So the European Union has seized it after having seized my money, if I'm Russia. And then you are telling me, I am breaking the contract. So the contract stands broken by European Union seizing euros that Russia had. And I think that if it is not modified, if what Putin is saying buy rubles from us and that is enabled, if that doesn't happen, then we are going to see a seizing completely of the oil and gas markets. And that is irrespective of the amount of noise coming from Western countries. The reality is there is not enough gas, there is not enough LNG, there is not enough oil to be able to quickly fill the gap. And it is because of that countries like India and a lot of other countries are saying, okay, we need to think about not trading in our goods when you are having a bushy buying Russian oil. Then we cannot pay them in dollars or euros because then we will also come under sanctions. How do we do it? So I think the world has two problems. How to pay for Russian oil and gas for those countries who are not a part of the sanctions? For those who are the ones who have imposed the sanctions on Russia, how do they then think they can get oil and gas? And do they have shortage? If they do, they have supplies they can tap into? I think we are looking into a situation where we will see the oil market sees up and also the long-term LNG gas is not going to be sufficient. You're going to take, see, Western Europe take a huge hit. And that is what I think the Western Europeans or the EU is not calculating that they really cannot, really they cannot handle such a large oil and gas shock as they seem to be plunging into. And if you see the price of electricity, the price of heating, the price of what the user has to pay has gone up hugely, whether it's in the United Kingdom or it's in European Union countries. This has gone up by three to four times. Now if that is the hit the common man takes, also you can see the gas price, oil price rising in the United States as well. If the common man takes that part of hit, how long can the war euphoria be supported? That's a question that I think we have to start asking. And what do countries like India and other countries do when we, we have a large foreign exchange reserve? We thought that's good for us. Now we find that with this hostage that the US and the European Union hold. So how long can this system last is also the other question. Thank you so much Praveen. That's all we have time for today. We'll be tracking many of these issues in future episodes of Mapping Fault Lines as well. Until then, keep watching NewsClick.


So students in this module, we will be discussing the background and what you need to know about online airline reservation system. Because in the next module, I will talk about the logical model and the ERD model for that airline reservation system. And this background is going to help you understand that what we draw as the logical diagram as the ERD, how the things are connected. And you will be able to make sense out of all of those things. Because if I present to you directly those ERDs and those diagrams, that will be difficult to understand. Right? So that is why we will go through some of the background about the airline reservation system, online airline reservation system. Let's look at the module coverage. So I will give you some overview and inventory management. So what is inventory management? Inventory management, inventory is a seat. In the airline language, inventory is a seat. And that seat is all about in the airline reservation system. And then something which is over here PNR, which is the passenger name record. And of course, it contains some of the additional information about the passengers also. And of course, the fare code and ticketing, how the fare is decided and what is ticketing is there. And of course, we will learn more as we go and deep into this module. So let's look at this. So it incorporates the airline schedules, fares and tariffs, okay, distribution of data and GDS. So what is GDS? GDS is the global distribution system. So let me talk about in more detail. So what does this incorporates? It includes the airline schedules, fares, tariffs, passenger reservations and the ticket records. So it contains many useful things, right? So fare tariffs are there, ticket records are there, okay, and the GDS. It is the global distribution system. Now remember that in early days, the airlines had their own reservation systems. And then it was changed and deregulated. And then there are a number of companies who are the global distribution systems who are running the reservation systems and different airlines tap into it, okay, users tap into it and airlines tap into it, they all tap into it. And of course, there are travel agencies also and other indirect distribution channels also. And some of the airlines have their own for their own operation, they have their own reservation systems, okay, reservation systems. And these systems can 98% are ticketless. And there are hybrid airlines also, so you can see that we have this GDS over here. And we have these airlines over here. And we have all sorts of things, hotels are there. And car supplies are there. And they are connected through this internet booking engine. And who is accessing them, you as a traveler are accessing them, okay. And travel agents are accessing them incorporates and all of these things are tied together through this. This is the airline reservation system. This is the system which we are talking about the online airline reservation system. So this is the background. So we have internet access also and indirect access also. So what is inventory management? In the airline industry jargon, inventory is a seat. It is a seat, okay. And of course, the inventory is business class also seats can be economy class. So we have this business class also, okay. We have this economy class also and there are actually 26 booking classes, right. And they have different prices and they have different conditions and so on, right. So they have different booking classes that is understood to inventory data is imported and maintained through a scheduled distribution system over standardized in interfaces. So one of the core functions of inventory management is inventory control. And what constitutes inventory control, how many seats are available, how many seats are available status of the seats, how many seats are available and opening closing of booking classes for sale and in combination with fairs and booking conditions, okay. We add the fairs and the booking conditions. So we have this opening and closing and sale is related to the fair and the price of each sold seat is determined based upon all those things. So there's something more also, which is the yield management system, okay. So this performs permanent optimization of what of this booking classes because they have to make money, they have to make money, okay. And this responds to the changes in the demand and respond to the competitor pricing also. So this is automated, okay. This is automated, right. So this is how the inventory management works. So users access and airlines inventory through an available display, okay. This is a display over here over, okay. This is the client, okay. This is the client and it contains all the offered flights for a particular city pair with available seats and different booking classes, okay. So cooperating flights, connecting flights or legs, I will talk about this leg also. What is the meaning of the leg? If the city pair is not one on which the airline offers service, it may display a connection using its own flights or display, okay. So if this, so this you have A over here, B over here, C over here. And if A to C is not present, then this is the leg over here. I will talk more about it. The availability of seats of other airlines is updated through standard industry interfaces. So there are other airlines also, okay. So this is, this is updated also. It's updated. So what is there in PNR, personal information, meal request, say, for example, somebody says I want veggie or whatever, okay. And then there are the flight segments, issue tickets, etc. And of course, profile data to avoid data reentry, right. So in addition, most systems have interfaces to CRM, CRM, which is the loyalty, loyalty applications, they're also there. CRM is there and reservation systems. So once a flight has departed, the reservation systems updated with a list of the checked in passengers. And there are no shows also, no show, okay. And there are go shows also, go show. No show are the people who made the reservation, but did not come. And go show is the people who did not make the reservation, but they came and bought the ticket and then they left. Left means that they flew, they flew, okay. So these are some of the things which are happening in the background. Fair court and ticketing. So what is the fair data stores, fair tariffs, rules, routing maps, class or service tables, tax information, and all of them is used to construct, construct the pair. So many things are going here. Rules, what are the rules we are talking about? Rules like booking conditions, minimum stay, advance purchase, okay. And they are tailored differently between different city pairs or zones. So from A to B, it can be different from A to C. It can be different and so on. So inventory control can be used to manipulate through the availability of fields over here. Then they are air for ruling, coding, recommendations, and all sorts of things are going. So many things are happening over here, okay. So finally the role of ticketing is complex. It is very complex, okay. This is very complex. And a small number of pair tickets are still issued. The electronic ticket information is stored in a database containing the data that is the ticket number, fair tax components, and all those things. Now the purpose of giving you this background, as I said earlier, is to make you understand that what is happening behind and what is being used to solve these problems. So your task is being a problem solver. So that is all I have for you in this module. Thank you very much.


My name is Daphne Bell and I'm a basic researcher. I'm Charles Nohoma Rotimi and I'm a basic scientist. I'm Julie Segre and I am both a basic and a clinical researcher. My name is Ed Ramos. I am a research fellow in basic sciences. My research is to understand the genetic alterations that cause endometrial cancer. This is a cancer that forms in the womb or the uterus and it kills over 73,000 women worldwide every year. The research that we do here at our center here called Center for Research on Genomics and Global Health is really directed at how we can bring cultural factors and also genetic factors together to help understand why diseases vary as you go across human populations and pay particular attention to populations of the African diaspora. My research examines all of the bacteria that live on your skin and how the diversity of bacteria and the change over time contributes to both health and disease. We use high throughput DNA sequencing as a very powerful microscope to identify the bacteria based on their DNA sequence to complement what we can grow on petri dishes or in liquid culture. I'm part of a research team that focuses on human genetic variation very generally and to really capture the true genetic diversity that you see in present man we focus on studying multiple populations so European ancestry, African ancestry and we do this in a variety of different contexts. My research approach to studying endometrial cancer is to compare the DNA code in the tumor genome from an individual patient with the DNA code of the normal genome from that same patient and I compare it over a series of about 100 patients and look for the common mistakes in the tumors. Right now we are now able to query the whole genome and we are able to query that at reasonable cost and that is really giving us fundamental knowledge, fundamental insight into diseases. For example, we are finding that genes that we thought only related to diabetes to also be related to cancer for example. We have a clinical trial for kids who have bad eczema which is an itchy skin disease. It often affects kids in the bend of their elbow, behind their knees but it can happen, it can be dry skin on your hands. What we are trying to explore is the connection between the shifts in the material diversity and the disease progression. So the context of our research is in diseases and in drug response as well. So human genetic variation with respect to disease we focus on type 2 diabetes, hypertension and obesity and other related traits. Cancer research has really been turned on its head because now we can look for faulty genes that are present in tumor cells. We can characterize those faulty genes and understand how the protein is misshapen or behaves in a different way than the normal protein and we can start to develop smart drugs that really target the faulty protein and leave the normal protein relatively untouched. What we envision is that we will be able to from these studies where we look at the longitudinal data we will be able to determine some sort of assay that looks at, a fast assay that looks at the microbial diversity and says something like when you test your glucose levels you would test your microbial diversity and you would test your levels of staff versus pseudomonas versus propionobacterium and if you started to get out of balance then you could use some sort of probiotic or antibiotic therapy to reset a healthy balance of skin bacteria. So the genome-wide association studies if you're successful you get what we call hits in terms of variants that are associated with the trait that you're looking at. So for my specific research if I'm looking at type 2 diabetes and I have people that have the disease and I compare the people that don't and something shakes out in terms of the genetic variant that associates with type 2 diabetes. I now can look at what gene is that variant in. Our hope is that this knowledge will be able to be translated into more effective tests within the hospital setting that would allow us to match specific patients to specific drugs in other words personalized medicine for cancer. For me it's really an exciting time to be a scientist who wants to understand the genetics of diseases. My name is William A. Gall and I'm an MD-PhD and a pediatrician and a clinical and biochemical geneticist. My name is Terry Minolio. I'm directly office of population genomics at the Genome Institute. I'm primarily a clinical researcher. I'm Leslie B. Sacker and I'm a clinical medical geneticist working in the genetic disease research branch here at NHGRI. My name is Dan Cassner and I'm the scientific director of the intramural research program of the NHGRI. I see patients with inborn errors of metabolism and do clinical research and some basic research into the particular disorders that our patients have. At present what we're trying to do is apply genomic technology to population studies. So the main focus is to take existing population studies which are usually large-scale, large numbers of people who have been followed for a long period of time initially perhaps without disease but then developing disease later and try to apply genomic technologies to determine why they develop those diseases. My research program is focused on understanding relationship between the genotype and the phenotype or the medical or clinical manifestations in patients and humans in general. And so we go from the clinic to the laboratory and understand how the genome makes us what we are and what we aren't, makes us healthy or makes us ill. I am in a way both a clinician, investigator and a basic researcher. My interests are basically in understanding the mechanisms of human disorders of inflammation and understanding how these diseases come about and what we can do to intervene to help patients who have them. Having the human genome project and knowing the sequence of all these genes now allows us a shortcut to that. It allows us to find the gene by different mechanisms and because the function of many of those genes is known we then know immediately what to investigate in terms of biochemistry and cell biology. The initial genome-wide association studies really were a big surprise to everyone in that they started finding things. So people who had been in this field far longer than I had been struggling for 20 years to find a hypertension gene or whatever and really had come up with very, very little were thrilled that suddenly things were coming up positively. So the ClinSeq project is rather ambitious and some may say bold effort to actually take the genome take genomics, take a genome center and put it right in the center of a clinical research program and directly apply high throughput genomics to patient care research. So there the technique was basically to go out and find a large cohort of families with the disease with multiple members of the family with the disease and to try to compare the inheritance of the disease in the families with the inheritance of DNA markers of known chromosomal location. I would say that the Human Genome Project has helped enormous numbers of individuals find causes of diseases, make diagnoses and now we're really approaching the therapeutics the therapeutical interventions in that. We certainly can in looking at the entire genome identify people who are at extraordinarily high risk. So you may have 20 alleles that put you at risk for type 2 diabetes. Most people have 5 or 8 or 10 of them but what if you have all 20? You're at much, much higher risk than if you don't have any. So I can bring in to the clinical center a family with a single family with a previously undescribed disorder and within a few weeks understand what the molecular alteration is that's causing that disorder. And that's something that was utterly incomprehensible 15 years ago. Once one lands in a particular chromosomal region you can simply go to the databases and look up what genes are there and even have an idea of what their functions are so that you can very easily cut to the chase and be able to get to the gene that is likely to be the culprit gene for your particular disease. I think knowing the Human Genome Project and the sequences of genes and where they are has already had a great impact on medical care. In two years we'll have, I suspect, far more variants that are related to either drug metabolism or symptoms or signs or prognosis. We're already practicing personalized medicine simply by taking a patient as we have done and sequencing their genome and finding in their genome a liability to a trait that has not yet manifested in that person. We can sit with that person, explain what that trait is, explain what the symptoms are, and then they can be empowered to better manage their individual health care in the future as it arises.


The lithiation slash dilithiation properties of alpha, C3N4 and beta, C3N4 are compared and the carbon coating effects are examined. Then, beta, Si3N4 at various fractions is used as the secondary phase in a C-anode to modify the electrode properties. The incorporated beta, C3N4 decreases the crystal size of C and introduces a new NCO species at the beta, C3N4 slash C interface. The nitrogen from the milled beta, Si3N4 diffuses into the surface carbon coating during the carbonization heat treatment, forming parolic nitrogen and CNO species. The synergistic effects of combining beta, C3N4 and C phases on the specific capacity are confirmed. The operand x-ray diffraction and x-ray photoelectron spectroscopy data indicate that beta, C3N4 is partially consumed during lithiation to form a favorably 3N species at the electrode. However, the crystalline structure of the hexagonal beta, C3N4 is preserved after prolonged cycling, which prevents electrode agle.

So YouTube team keep it clean. Y'all good? Y'all calm down a little bit now?  Then I heard it go off again. Then it went off again and again and again and again. And the only time it goes off like that is when either during the Ravens game when they either score a touchdown or they turn the ball over or when there's some Ravens news or some really, really huge news. And I was like, oh, I'm glad I checked it. I'm glad I checked it before we ended up leaving. But man, that was crazy. But again, it's great news. Now, Kaleas Campbell, he was due $15 million this season. 15 million, 15 million. And it was fully guaranteed. And like we talked about in that video when the Ravens initially traded for Kaleas Campbell in a fifth round pick. It's crazy man, a fifth round pick? Kare Vedvik and Kenny Young for Kaleas Campbell and Marcus Peters. It's crazy. It's crazy. The cost of man. Ravens fans already loved you. And you know what, this trade again, it takes me back to last year. If you all remember last year, there were a lot of Ravens fans, a lot. There wasn't, when free agency first opened and the cost wasn't doing anything. Man, bring back Ozzy Noosa, man. This fool don't know what he doing, man. He don't know what he doing, man. Get Eric the cost on up out of here. Get him out of here. You don't know what he doing. Really? There was a lot of that. There was a lot of it. And I was just like, wow. The dude hadn't even been a GM for three months yet and people are all ready to get him on out. It's crazy. But anyway, obviously things have worked out quite well so far in this first year. I'd say, I'd say. And we're not even in the new league year yet. But anyway, they traded a fifth round pick for Kaleas Campbell. And all of that 15 mil was guaranteed to Kaleas Campbell. But you knew the Ravens, and like I said in the video, you knew the Ravens weren't gonna be playing him on that deal. You knew they were gonna come to an agreement with him. So they did just that on a two year deal. Now, now, initially, initially, Ian Rappaport, he said that the Ravens and Kaleas Campbell will finalize in a two year new deal for 27 mil and they will give him 20 mil guaranteed. So I said, okay, cool. 27 mil, two year deal, 27 mil, 20 of his guaranteed. But then, Jason LaConfora, who we all love here and team Keep It Clean, he said the Kaleas Campbell contract numbers are two years 25 mil, so even cheaper. Two years 25 mil with 20 mil guaranteed and a chance to earn two mil in incentives in 2021. So again, but what both reports are letting you know is that it's not an extension. It is not an extension. It is a new deal. It's like they took the old deal, they ripped it up and they signed them to a new deal because it goes through 2021. So it goes through the 2020 season and then the 2021 season. So it's two years, so it's this year and next year. Not this year, next year and the following year, but this year that we're coming up on and then next year. And just a quick side note, because I've seen some people comment just about everything that's going on right now.  And it's like, wow, like some people just do not like seeing other people happy. Cheer up, please, y'all gots to cheer up. I know it's a lot going on right now. We all know it's a lot going on right now, but it's okay to take a break from that.  You don't gotta walk around, man, I'm just angry at everything. We know the world that we live in and it's gonna get worse before it gets better. But I promise you, eventually it's gonna get a lot better. But you don't have to walk around being mad.  You can keep that somewhere else. But I know there's some people that have expressed themselves on here that said that they enjoy that this is a nice break from all that stuff. It's a nice way to step away from all that stuff. Temporarily. If you're watching a video for five, 10 minutes, whatever, it's just something to take your mind off of everything that's going on right now. And not even to take you away from reality, but just to give you something to smile about, even if it's not your team that we're talking about. So I appreciate y'all, the positive people. I appreciate it a lot and I love y'all. But anyway, so that we have two different conflicting reports on exactly what the deal is. But the bottom line is that the Ravens, and I don't even know how they break down the guarantees. One thing that I read said that the 20 mil was guaranteed, 20 mil was guaranteed this year. But we don't know the breakdown of the cap hits yet. So once that comes out, we'll talk about it. We'll talk about it so we can get a clear understanding on that because that is very important. Because with the cap being 198.2 mil, they couldn't just do all 198 mil. They had to do the 0.2, or you couldn't even just bump it up another mil, 199 mil. You had to do 198.2. They got them analytics we talking about. Ooh, I told y'all them analytics, ain't no joke. Anyway, with the cap being 198.2 mil, teams know exactly how much money they're gonna have in their pockets. They know exactly how much bread they got. They know exactly how much they can and cannot spend. So that can sort of give their plans a clear direction moving forward. So they'll know who they wanna cut, who they wanna try to trade, who they wanna sign, all that good stuff. And then you gotta keep some in your savings account for the draft too. But anyway, with it being a two year deal, this essentially gives the Ravens-Calaeus Campbell definitely for one year. For one year for sure. It is not a guarantee, as we all know. A lot of players hardly ever play out the entire contracts. It does happen sometimes. But we know how it goes, man. If you've been a Ravens fan long, not even just a Ravens fan, but just a football fan, you know how these contracts work. You may be, the player may be signed to two years, but a lot of times they don't even finish out the contract. Like, look at Michael Crabtree two years ago. They signed it to a three year deal. Three year, I think, $21 million deal. Cut them after the first year. Happens all the time. Anquan Bolden, when the Ravens traded for him, they gave up a third and a fourth round pick. Got Anquan Bolden, they signed it to an extension. Then at the end of the tour, at the end of the extension, he didn't get to finish it. He was never a free agent with the Ravens. He got traded to the 49ers. Then they signed it to an extension. Then you got other guys. I mean, we could do plenty of examples on guys who did and both did not finish out their contracts with the Ravens, or really with whatever team, but a lot of times these guys, they don't finish. So do we expect Kaleas Campbell to finish out his, not even just his career, but his contract? We'll see, I think it's too early. And I mean, that's not even anything we even really worried about right now anyway. I'm just super happy to have the player. And something that my guy JT said, it was a great, great point, is that Kaleas Campbell is the Mark Ingram of the defense. Now, when you talk about a Mark Ingram of the defense, what does that mean? Just the support, that leadership, somebody that can just bring that energy, but somebody that can play too.  You get more benefits than that. And that's a beautiful thing. And that's something that the Ravens need. And it's crazy. I wish I could have had a chance to put out the video from before, but this definitely, it kind of, it kind of doesn't sort of kill the idea of the video. But we had an episode of question from subscriber. And it'll be a video that you see over the next couple of days. Well, tomorrow might get a little crazy. So maybe not tomorrow, but had an episode of NFL question from subscribers that asked the question, did the Ravens, do the Ravens have a lack of leadership on the team right now? And this with Kaleas Campbell with him joining the Ravens now, it doesn't make that question null and void, but it does sort of give us an answer. Like, hey, well, we got even more leadership now. But when y'all see that, we can dive into that later. But I am, this is a great move for the Ravens. Gives them somebody that can rush the passer. Interior pressure. Now, one of the Ravens group chats that I was in, somebody said today, they said, oh, okay, well, I guess this means bye-bye Pierce. And I said, well, no, it's been bye-bye Pierce from the beginning of the season. I don't know anybody who expected Michael Pierce to be re-signed. I would love if the Ravens were able to re-sign him. I would love that. But we just knew it wasn't happening. They're not gonna pay two interior defensive linemen. No, they don't work like that. They don't work like that. And Brandon Williams a couple of years ago, he got his money and then they restructured him like every year to get more cap room. But he got his money a couple of years ago. He got his big deal. And they rocking with that. And defensive line has been a position that the Ravens have, fortunately for them, been able to draft and develop well. And they have made some nice free agent signings along the way at pressure guys, well, for pressure guys. Like a Trevor Price, remember him? Oh, he did great here. Obviously Elvis Dumeville, we remember that. Art Jones, somebody they drafted and developed. Michael Pierce, somebody they drafted and developed. Lody Nodder, somebody they drafted and developed. So you get the point. And obviously Brandon Williams, Kelly Gregg, McKay Kimoatu, I know I'm saying his name completely wrong. So my apologies. But you get where we're going. This is what the Ravens do. If it ain't somebody that they drafted and developed and if it's somebody that they signed and you best believe, it's somebody that's good. Cause I'm trying to recall a time where the Ravens have made a bad move, a bad signing on the defensive line. I can't recall. If you know somebody, please let us know in the comment section. But with Kaleas Campbell, what this move has done, this contract, it has essentially lowered his cap hit from being a $15 million cap hit or whatever it was gonna be. It's lowered it to whatever it's going to be now. And again, that information should come out between today and tomorrow. I'm thinking probably later on tonight. But we just got to wait and see. Once everything is official, once everything is official, then we can move forward. And we'll get to know exactly how much salary cap the Ravens have and what they're working with. Maybe we'll know before free agency. Maybe we won't know till a little bit after. But this is a really, really good move. Now on the flip side, what I think it means for one Matthew Judon, he's tagged at a little under $16 million for the year. Fully guaranteed, little under 16 mil. Now while this would be, and somebody I forgot who put it in the comment section of the previous video, but they said, hey, this is them getting help now. And that's what we've been talking about, getting help. It can't just be Matthew Judon. They're actually getting help. So one would think that sometime very soon, very soon, I don't have a watch on now, but you know that gesture. So one would think that very soon that the Ravens, they are either going to sign Matthew Judon to a long-term deal or they're gonna go ahead and make that move and tell them goodbye.  And then of course, there's still Brandon Carr, who now, especially with them bringing on Calais Campbell. And even though they did sign him to a new deal with them bringing on Calais Campbell and still having Matt Judon under contract too, I 1,000% expect Brandon Carr's option to be declined. So I think we should hear about that tomorrow at about 9 a.m. Eastern time. My opinion, I don't know anything, I haven't heard anything. That's just what I'm thinking. I'm thinking tomorrow before free agency starts, couple hours before, we're gonna hear about Brandon Carr's option being declined. Unless they decide to do it tonight, since we got the cap room, that 198.2 mil, remember that? So Ravens aren't done, but bottom line, they aren't done. So and some more moves are going to be, some more moves are imminent and they're gonna be happening very, very, very soon. Within the next 24 hours, it's almost a guarantee. So, I mean, and we'll know either way. We'll know either way, whether the Ravens pick up Brandon Carr's option or whether they decline it. Cause they have to, that information has to come out. So let's see how it goes. And you know, I got y'all, I keep y'all informed. So anyway, I love y'all, I appreciate y'all. And just like I expect Brandon Carr to be with the Ravens, at least temporarily, till they get some stuff under wraps, I'm out.


Deliverance ministry is a beautiful work of the Holy Spirit. Demons are real, spiritual warfare is real, demonic possession and demonic attack are both real. Because we love the work of the Holy Spirit, we should embrace his deliverance ministry. Now, in order to embrace the genuine, we must avoid the two fringe extremes that can render the believer completely powerless. On one hand, there's this religious idea that deliverance isn't for today. Now, this isn't founded upon scripture, but rather pseudo-intellectual dogma. On the other hand, there's another kind of religious thinking that emphasizes demonic power over the Holy Spirit's power and even borrows from New Age and pagan teachings to supplement its beliefs. Some Christians need deliverance from their misconceptions about deliverance. But if we want to walk in true power that brings permanent deliverance, we must rise above both forms of dead religion.


The Holy Spirit is the key to fulfilling your calling. Here are five ways the Holy Spirit helps you to walk in divine destiny. Number one, He qualifies you. Many believers refuse to step into the call of God simply because they don't believe that they're qualified. Whether it be their past mistakes or their personal insecurities, they are afraid of stepping into the call of God because they don't feel like they have what it takes in order to do so. Here's what the Bible says in Acts chapter four, verse number 13. The members of the council were amazed when they saw the boldness of Peter and John, for they could see that they were ordinary men with no special training in the scriptures. They also recognized them as men who had been with Jesus. What was their primary qualification for ministry? What was it that truly marked their lives? Simply put, they had been with Jesus. It's time in the presence of the Holy Spirit where you will find your calling. It's time in the presence of the Holy Spirit that produces the power to perform what God has destined for you to perform. It's not a matter of how gifted, talented, intellectual or charismatic you are, but how surrendered you are to the Holy Spirit. The Holy Spirit within you is your qualification.  Your character and your nature are changed.  That's you. As you spend time in the presence of the Holy Spirit, he will qualify you. Write in the comment section that you're surrendering to the Holy Spirit. However you wanna phrase that, put it in the comment section right now. Number two, he gives direction and correction. Another excuse that believers run into is the excuse that they simply don't know what to do. I don't know what God wants from me. All right, know what God has instructed me to do in the scriptures. I understand the general commands of God, living holy, living a lifestyle of worship, living a lifestyle of evangelism and so forth, but I'm not quite sure of what the Holy Spirit wants me to do specifically. And here we see that the Holy Spirit gives direction and correction. Acts chapter eight, I'm gonna read verses 27 to 31. The eunuch had gone to Jerusalem to worship and he was now returning. Seated in his carriage, he was reading aloud from the book of the prophet Isaiah. The Holy Spirit said to Philip, go over and walk along beside the carriage. Philip ran over and heard the man reading from the prophet Isaiah. Philip asked, do you understand what you are reading? The man replied, how can I? Unless someone instructs me. And he urged Philip to come up into the carriage and sit with him. Here we see an opportunity for the presentation of the gospel. I think we complicate it. I think we complicate it by fretting over the specifics of our calling. The Holy Spirit will tell you what to do. The Holy Spirit will give you instruction. You might be saying, well then how do I hear the Holy Spirit? That's as simple as a lifestyle of prayer, the word, obedience and listening for the voice of the Holy Spirit. Again, we complicate it because we don't know what direction we should go or we're worried because we're afraid that we might do something that he didn't call us to do. Well, the Holy Spirit has you covered there as well. Acts chapter 16 verses 6 through 7 says, next Paul and Silas traveled through the area of Phrygia and Galatia because the Holy Spirit had prevented them from preaching the word in the province of Asia at that time. Then coming to the borders of Mysea, they headed north for the province of Pythonia. But again, the spirit of Jesus did not allow them to go there. He guides as you go. He corrects as you obey. As you walk along that path of God's divine destiny, he'll correct the mistakes that you make. Many of us imagine that the call of God is so fragile that if we make one mistake or we do one thing that maybe he didn't instruct us to do specifically, that the whole thing's gonna fall apart, that we're gonna derail everything about the call of God in our lives. Now, that's not necessarily true. But there are some mistakes, sinful ones, blatant sinful mistakes that you can make that of course can obviously delay what God is doing in your life. But I'm talking about the Christian who won't budge, who won't move, who won't do anything in their calling simply because they don't have specific instructions. Well, here we see that the apostle did not have the instructions to go to Asia. And we know he didn't have the instructions to go to Asia because on his way there, the Holy Spirit said, stop, don't go. So we see that the Holy Spirit, if we're listening for his voice, will correct our mistakes. This is why it's important that as we walk in the call of God, that we're attentive to his voice through prayer and the word. Stop complicating it. Fulfilling God's call is as simple as daily obedience to the voice of the Holy Spirit. Number three, here's how the Holy Spirit helps you walk in divine destiny. Number three, he gives power. Acts chapter one, verse eight says, but you will receive power when the Holy Spirit comes upon you. And you will be my witnesses, telling people about me everywhere, in Jerusalem, throughout Judea, in Samaria, and to the ends of the earth. Here we see the power of the Holy Spirit coming upon the believers for the purpose of world evangelism. When the Holy Spirit comes upon you, he gives you power, power to what? Power is for proclamation. It's power to evangelize. And this power comes in many forms. It's the power of the gospel. It's the power of healing miracles. It's the power of deliverance. It's the power of wonders. It's the power of spiritual gifts. That power backs God's purpose. Those miracles back God's message. God's wonders always back God's word. The Holy Spirit will give you the power to perform what God has anointed you to perform. So our first excuse, I don't know if I'm qualified. The Holy Spirit qualifies you if you'll simply spend time with him. The second excuse we make, well, I don't know what direction to go in and I'm afraid that I might make a mistake. Well, there the Holy Spirit gives direction and correction he guides as we go. And then some of us might say, well, okay, maybe I've been qualified and I know where to go, but I'm not so sure of what to do. There's where he gives power. And when he gives you the power, he gives you performance ability to accomplish, to carry out, to expand the kingdom of God within the earth. The Holy Spirit brings power for the proclamation of the gospel. Number four, he gives you boldness. And to see this, we simply have to look at the life of Peter. Think about the fact that Peter denied the Lord Jesus. He denied that he even knew him.  Of course, the Lord forgave him and of course, God greatly used his life even after that mistake. But notice something, that Peter was afraid to acknowledge that he knew the Lord in one instance. Yet in another instance, he's standing up publicly, boldly proclaiming the gospel of Jesus Christ. What was the difference? The difference was Pentecost. It was after Pentecost, it was after the giving of the Holy Spirit on the day of Pentecost that he was given such boldness that he was willing to stand before all and publicly declare the truth even though many were offended by what he was saying. And the Bible says that 3,000 were added to their number that day. Imagine that. For every time that Peter denied Jesus, he saw 1,000 people come to the cross on the day of Pentecost. That is the power of boldness. That's what the Holy Spirit does. So you may say, okay, I understand he qualified me. I understand he gave me a direction to go in. I understand that he gives me the power to operate in but I'm not so sure I have the boldness to actually step out. Well, again, the Holy Spirit has you covered there. The Holy Spirit gives you that boldness.  That's what the Holy Spirit does. He gives you that boldness. I don't care if you consider yourself an introvert or an extrovert. The Holy Spirit will give you boldness and that boldness will manifest as you step out in faith and obey the instructions he has given you. And finally, number five, he connects you with the right people. And to see this, we just have to look at the life of Paul the apostle, formerly Saul. The Bible says here in Acts chapter nine, verse 10. Now there was a believer in Damascus named Ananias. The Lord spoke to him in a vision calling Ananias. Yes, Lord, he replied. The Lord said, go over to Straight Street to the house of Judas. When you get there, ask for a man from Tarsus named Saul. He is praying to me right now. Verse 12, I have shown him a vision of a man named Ananias coming in and laying hands on him so he can see again. So here we see that the Lord already spoke to Saul. The Holy Spirit already gave him instruction. He already told him that there was a man named Ananias who was coming to see him. Verse 13, but Lord exclaimed Ananias, I've heard many people talk about the terrible things this man has done to the believers in Jerusalem. And he is authorized by the leading priests to arrest everyone who calls upon your name. Verse 15, this is powerful. But the Lord said, go for Saul is my chosen instrument to take my message to Gentiles and to kings as well as to the people of Israel. A couple of things here. First of all, we see that the Holy Spirit spoke to both Ananias and Saul. He divinely connected them. He brought them together. He spoke to one and the other. The second thing to note here is that Ananias was afraid of connecting with Saul. Why? Because Saul had a reputation for violently persecuting the church. Ananias knew that Saul was a dangerous man who was against the way. Yet God in verse 15 endorses Saul despite his past, despite what he had done to other brothers and sisters in the faith, despite how he fought the spreading of the gospel message and zealously so, God endorsed him, God spoke well of him. His reputation preceded him and Ananias was fearful. But then the Lord spoke one word and endorsed the man who once persecuted the church.  The reality is that even when your reputation is a bad one, God in his one endorsement can cause others to be drawn to you. Think about the fact that one word from God to Ananias changed his mind. God does that, you know. He endorses those with pasts and he draws them together despite the gossip and the slander. Despite what other people are saying, God's gonna make for you divine connections. The Holy Spirit will speak to his servants. The Holy Spirit will speak to God's children. The Holy Spirit in you recognizes the Holy Spirit in them. The Holy Spirit initiates both divine connections and divine disconnections. He qualifies you, he gives you direction and correction. He gives power. He gives boldness. He connects you with the right people. Now, Father, I pray for that one receiving this word now. And I ask Lord that you would begin to speak to them and cause them to listen for you intently, I pray. And even I sense a strong anointing here. I want you to receive this. Even now I pray that the tangible touch of the Holy Spirit's power would come upon that life, come upon that one receiving this prayer now. Lord, I thank you that the past is forgiven. I thank you that you've empowered your servants. I thank you for divine connections. Holy Spirit, you are the key to fulfilling the call. And I pray now that you would have influence in their life. I pray, Lord, that they would learn to welcome the precious Holy Spirit. Help us to trust you, Holy Spirit, to obey you and to walk as you tell us to walk. I want you just to lift your hands right now. And I want you to say this, say this to the Lord, not to me. Say, Holy Spirit, lead me. Say that out loud, say, Holy Spirit, lead me. Now say, Holy Spirit, I surrender. I thank you, Lord, for this power flowing. Heal your people, deliver your people, empower your people. By the Holy Spirit, in the name of Jesus we pray. And I want you to say it because you believe it, say, amen. Well, if you enjoyed that message and you benefited from it and you wanna help others benefit from it, it's very simple.

Hydrogen has emerged as a promising alternative to fossil fuels due to its clean and renewable nature. However, one of the main challenges in the commercialization of hydrogen is the efficient production of hydrogen at large scale. One potential solution is water-splitting electrolysis, whereby hydrogen is produced through the decomposition of water into hydrogen and oxygen. Catalysis or electrocatalysis play a crucial role in the process, and the development of active, stable, and low-cost catalysts or electrocatalysts is necessary for achieving the desired electrocatalytic hydrogen production from water-splitting for practical use. This review provides an overview of recent developments in the design and preparation of nanostructured noble metal and non-noble metal-based electrocatalysts for efficient hydrogen production from water-splitting electrolysis.
