Hi I'm Sean Quinn from Highland Radio. Today I'm on to talk about the upcoming Letterkenny Business Chamber Awards in 2022. I'm joined by Sinead Dooley, head of Public Engagement with AirGrid and Tony Forrester, the CEO of Letterkenny Chamber of Commerce. Ladies you're both very welcome. Thanks Tony. Thanks Sean. Tony can I come to you first? What is the idea behind the Letterkenny Business Chamber Awards? So we've been running the awards for a number of years, obviously back with buying this year having had to have two years off. And really the idea behind it is celebrating business and celebrating everything there is good about business. So businesses trudge along all day, not trudge, they work their business all day, they work at it all day. And we felt that there was a space in Donegal to celebrate that achievement. And you know they, you go out to see a business and they tell you a little bit about their business and all of a sudden it becomes this real thing. And when we always say as marketers over the years I've always said put your awards up on your website. So when they get an award they're very proud of it. And even getting through part of this process of it makes this achievement really worthwhile. So it's celebration really Sean. Yeah and I suppose it's always great to celebrate success and progress. And talking of progress so we've gone through the nomination stage and it's now closed and it's been shortlisted. And we come to the exciting part which is the voting. So tell me more about the voting process and how that works. Yeah, so we have got the category down to three nominees who will go through to the final. So as a bit of engagement and to get the best out of this opportunity for our businesses, we open a poll on each category. So over the next week, two weeks, we will go through each category on social medias and highland social media. And anywhere we can get the news out there and attached to each of those posts will be a poll. So you can vote for the people you like the best and you'll be able to vote. If you want to vote once a week, you'll be able to vote and just who you like the best and you vote in all categories. So it's really it injects a bit of fun, injects a bit of engagement and it also contributes a little bit to the winner. But we also wait. We have to wait that obviously. You know, you can't just let public because somebody who's good on social media will get big, big polls. So we waited a little bit and then we look at those about a week before the closing the event and see who's top the polls. But it's really good for our engagement for all the businesses who went to the border applying. Yeah, that sounds great. And what we'll also do is we will use Highland Radio to encourage people to go on to the social channels to vote. But we will make it clear that you can only vote once because I'd be party to maybe vote in a couple of times with my friends, but don't don't say anything there. We'll keep that between us. Sinead, Air Grid have become the principal sponsor for the Letakity Chamber Awards in 2022. Why did you decide to support the awards this year? Yeah, I'm delighted to join yourself and Tony for this today as well. Going back to what Tony said, it's the awards celebrate the very best of business in Donegal. And I suppose it gives recognition to local businesses, showcases their success and gives them an opportunity to show how ambitious they are. It's been a tough couple of years as we know for businesses across the country and communities. And in Air Grid, we understand the importance of supporting local economies and communities and businesses. And they're at the heart of everything we do. So look, it's important for businesses to celebrate their achievements. Too often we all look at the negative in life. I'm really looking forward to the event itself and to see all of the talent coming through. But it is nice to acknowledge the achievements and we're just delighted to be able to be involved and support these awards in whatever way that we can. So we're delighted to be involved here, Sean. Yeah, and it's great to have you. And I know that I was, I was, I was my partner, but I helped in the Citizen Road shows that you did earlier this year in Donegal. And you got great crowds for that. It was phenomenal. And it was a great opportunity for you to talk about what Air Grid are doing. How can these events create a foundation for more recognition of the work that Air Grid do in the community? Yeah, and I suppose, and you're right. The first word to use was partner and you were a partner in it. And I think local radio are hugely important to be at the promotion of Letter Kenny Chamber of Commerce. So what they're doing are certainly in promoting of the events that we had held in Donegal. Donegal and Letter Kenny were the very first locations for our energy Citizen Road show. So we're quite nervous when you're launching a new initiative. It's hard to know how it's going to land, how well it's going to be received. But we believed kind of why we're doing it and what we're doing. So it was really heartening for us on both of those nights to turn up on fine evenings, bright evenings, and yet to have packed rooms and both. We wanted to come in and still want to come into communities to speak to people, businesses, farmers, self-employed about the work we do. And how it will play an integral role in future transition to the clean green energy. And but also outlining what it would mean for the county, what business opportunities there are, what growth opportunities for the region. But we saw firsthand this was last year we spoke to you about our consultation around the country and shaping. There was a huge interest of people who want to become involved who want to know what they can do in terms of a looking at our climate action targets, but also what can I do as a person in terms of looking at my security of supply, keeping the cost of energy down, microgeneration on farms. So we saw it as an opportunity, Sean, to bring all of those stakeholders together. ESB networks for microgeneration, viewpoint, sustainable energy, authority of Ireland and ourselves to try and take the red tape out of the process. It's very difficult for people sometimes to try and know who's responsible for what and who does it. So that's what we use the air which energy shows for us to go out and just talk to people face to face back to what we're good at doing at an Ireland meeting people and talking. And it was just that to provide the information. We were very, very well received in Doney gods that gave us the encouragement to roll it out around the rest of the country. And but again, look just an opportunity for us to speak to people about their role in the community, our role in the community and just to try and build those bridges with people as well. And the great thing that I noticed a part of that was that it was it was plain English people could understand, you know what the message you were trying to get it across. And as it's something that and I'm also I'm delighted to embrace the fact that it was done ago was a first you did it and don't go first which is great. And we would be delighted if you can come back in 2023 because I think there's a bigger message still to tell and to inform people and you can never tell them enough about progress, but also opportunity and that word change which sometimes is quite difficult. Absolutely and and in my experience over the years and I've got two years experience under my belt unfortunately Sean more than I'd like to tell but I think when you leave a vacuum and you don't provide the information that's what causes no matter what you're doing. I'm just talking about air grid or electricity or grids or any of that I'm talking in general in life and it's been like the support that businesses get from letter Kenny Chamber of Commerce. You know you can't afford to leave a gap in terms of communication and have it filled misinformation so that plain English is it and I'm glad you said it because that's what we've been trying to do and I'm glad that you've acknowledged that is just to have a say to those very simple conversations with people. Yes, I know people fear change and the fear maybe development of grid infrastructure in an area but we explain the process and if we want to meet and provide renewable energies and provide business opportunities. Unfortunately, as people would see it we need to develop the grid, but we need to be able to explain as you say in plain English language, why we're doing it, how we're doing it but most importantly, listen to the voices of communities and landowners as to how they want us to develop, not leave a gap and silence. You know that day is thankfully gone. It's that two way dialogue bringing communities and businesses to table, and that we co design our roots and that everybody knows every step of the way, what we're doing, when we're doing it and why we're doing it so that's, it's not rocket science, we're literally just talking to people. This is, this is fantastic and suppose the community feel and business feel Tony is is one of the biggest reasons why the Business Awards have been successful over the years, and they're well established at this stage. Just remind me of some of the categories that people can win on the 11th November. We have 14 awards but we've 12 category ones that we talk about. And I suppose I pick out ones that are always really popular business excellence, and that can be anything but mostly it comes down to how people manage the business.  That one that we really like the community one best health past community health and well being initiative. And that's all around how we improve the health of our communities, you know, no matter what we do in life. Our healthy community is so important. And whether that's good electricity or, or anything we just think we need that we brought a new one in this year. Business through Irish. And that's a big growing thing where a Gail talked gateway, I'm going to say, and a gateway to the Gail talk. And we just think that's really important to start now it's a baby steps this year, but next year we'll see that grow. And another one that's quite topical I suppose is accessibility diversity and inclusion. And, you know, that's all of us about our communities and how we integrate with different types of people from different backgrounds, different abilities. And they're, they're all becoming really, really popular. The years we have them. I don't know if you want to. I will tell you, we have a business person of the year and we have all of them as well. They're two big awards that we give from the chamber. And who chooses the business person of the year. They're done with them business person hall theme are done via part of our committee. And so we, we look at we get applications, we actually get nominee nominations from people. And we look around and we talk about them and we decide between a small group of people. And it's always kept us a surprise on the night. So, and usually they're quite surprised that they're even, they know they're getting it, but they don't tell anybody else. So it's a real, it's a really lovely part of our evening. And, you know, once we get through all the awards and we've got business person hall theme at the very end. And, you know, the room stands up and mostly people know people who get so it's it's a lovely part of our event. And I'm not saying because as soon as we start giving out awards, you can feel the energy in the room growing and growing and growing, which is fabulous for us. You know, so, so people, people love watching other people get awards as well, even if they don't get one themselves. Yeah, I remember back in 2019, which is the last one, it was, it's just a great crescendo to the whole event because it's something special to be to have that to be given that achievement in front of your peers. And, and, and it's, it's great the way it was to get back into a room and we'll go into that in a little bit later. She may just to air grid or also go out sponsoring the sustainable superstar category. Do you think your involvement as a brand in this particular category will encourage businesses to consider energy security and the part that they can play in the sustainability of the future energy needs. Yeah, I know, suppose well, given our role in delivering such a cleaner energy future and working up towards 80% of electricity coming from renewable energy by 2030. Like we'd obviously love to see others play in their part to so businesses these days are making the change and to be more sustainable, both for climate purposes but also for energy reasons. And supporting these efforts, it's great to be especially involved with this category. We're looking forward to seeing the shortlist to see what initiatives are coming forward to in letter Kenny and for letter Kenny look at we were the first to say to you in terms of our location for an energy road show. We're looking to see letter Kenny Chamber Awards been a first in terms of the Senate sustainability awards and developing that over the years as well to try and encourage more people to take part so it was a no brainer first to be that the main sponsors of that particular one. So yeah, look at really looking forward to see what interest and how we can work with Tony in the chamber hopefully into the future in terms of how to develop that even further. And it's a it's a relatively new category. Tony, am I right in saying it's and it's going to be a growing category is that fair to say. I personally I really do think so you can hear and this part of having a great I think sponsoring it, you can hear the conversations changing. And we put that as out of necessity, but other bits of it are, maybe we can move this forward a bit quicker than we thought we could. So I have a few businesses even in the background who didn't apply this year. Yeah, I definitely know we'll be on board next year, because I've moved their sustainability processes forward, but it's the whole sustainability and conversation that we're all trying to have. And I think this really takes the box for us. And if I could even come back in there Sean in terms of you know again looking at what we did last year in letter Kenny. I think it'd be great now that we're building this collaboration piece between us as well that we can look and see what two businesses want and if we can facilitate sustainable development goals conversation training for businesses in the area. You know, let's put on our thinking cap stop reinventing the wheel and whatever we can do to try and help businesses to grow this area and be a training bit information evenings whatever that we just all work together and try and make it because it doesn't have to be a huge program that the undertake any little step and as it really is little steps we saw that individuals on the night so whatever steps that businesses can take towards a more sustainable business further from themselves. Recost saving perspective as well really has to be embraced and I think that's something that we can all work on together and roll out across Tony gone as well. Yeah, and you know we're looking at 2030 and 2050 as future plans but it's really what we can do today that can make a difference to change is that as you correctly said, step by step in the community and in businesses. How can they help a grid to achieve their goals. Is there anything they can do today just a small thing to say, we've made a little bit of change. Look that's a 90 and 90 marker question, you know, I mean, finally look at the bigger thing but I think going back again to the energy citizen road shows that we're rolling out. What really caught people's imagination there says that micro generation please whether it's solar panels on the roof your home, whether it's one lady in particular remember has a potato farm and, you know, a load of outhouses and sheds that's a ripe for in terms of putting on solar panels and now the opportunity to sell back to the grid so not only a self sufficient, but you're also selling back to the grid and making money as well. Now that's one thing but the retrofitting of homes insulation of homes, you know, I think, again, down to rainwater harvest and maybe think back to what families did 50 years ago and 80 years ago where that was sustainable we didn't realize it at the time when they were hurled down under a downpipe outside collecting the water but the rainwater have some thinking the way nearly almost that people did it back in the day. Small steps for houses for the minute but sit you look at going back to the point in terms of the road shows, they're the sort of conversations that we build on what we've done today that people can just find something that's comfortable for them to do cast effective and that they are doing their part as well as this so it's a small steps for the start Sean and then people build on that and grow. Yeah, that's great. And Tony just just look let's move forward now to the the actual event so tell me more about the actual chamber the evening on the 11th of November what's what's going to happen what can people look forward to. Okay, so we'll have our lovely drinks reception I should come in and to black tie event so it's a glamour and glitz and we have seen some people really say no I have to get a guy and I have to get a guy. So we always enjoy that part of it. And once we have we go in we have dinner, lovely dinner in the my garden tell and then we'll start the awards so we just go through them fairly quickly. The 12 and then the last two. And we'll have a few speeches and our sponsors will be acknowledged. And at the end, you know, it's really just the celebration and then there's a bit of dancing. You know, not everybody knows that we it's not just it's not just speeches and talks, words, there's a bit of dancing, a bit of fun. And we always try and have it all it's a it's an important celebration for us and it's important night for us, you know, we do sessions and people come. But at the end of the day, this is like the businesses enjoying themselves and people bring their staff and people bring you know their friends and family. And if we can enjoy that so we'll go on to the art, usually. So so I don't know if we even know how to go out anymore. What you're saying to me here basically is I have to go and hire a suit and I've got to go and get dancing lessons that right. Clean your high heels, John. Clean your high heels as well. We're back in the high heels for the night. Well, I'll leave the high heels to you two ladies now in fairness. It's always going to be a great night, Tony. All our all our categories are sponsored as well. You know, so they all get to showcase themselves in the evening, you know, just by being there. After the event, we also publish everyone's photographs, all the finalists photographs on the night in our Chamber magazine. That's a real no people read magazines yesterday, but they love it. So all of that will be there and hopefully be some surprises on the night as well. And the other thing, and I mean, I think people we've all forgotten, I mean, in terms of the last couple of years that we've had the businesses and families haven't had as many opportunities as the would have in the past to go out, be it Christmas lunches or Christmas dinner, everything was put on hold. So in terms of giving it a plug, Tony, I'd be saying to every business and telling all it is a great opportunity to bring out your staff to acknowledge how difficult they've had at the last number of years. And I also, from being at those events, I love where you know your business personally here in your hall of fame to see families coming back together. I know they obviously know a little bit in advance. So that is a lovely opportunity because normally people who've contributed hugely to society in terms of, you know, employment and and and contribution to the society. It really is a lovely chance to see all of the family getting together to acknowledge one of their own. And Sean said earlier for your peers to acknowledge it is the key thing here that you're, you know, for anybody else to say it but for your own people in the area to vote for you to be the best business on the night is a huge, huge attribute. Yeah, that's exactly what it's for. Networking is well on the evening to you can never network enough to to to your, you know, it could be your competitor or it could be just another business to learn how they're doing things. And it's always good to put your hand in your pocket and buy the odd little drink as well and celebration of Sunday who's been successful and that's always a great story. And we also have, you know, we also have a raffle on the night and we we raise some money for a cancer cancer care West. This is our presence nominated charity. So that's always, you know, and I think to do as well. And I would say if you're going to network and Sean did early. You promise too much later on in the evening. If we go on too much longer, there'll be no tickets left because this is the biggest sales pitch ever I saw free ads from my radio. Exactly Tony you have a very busy few weeks ahead. And you're going to visit in the shortlist is businesses. I want to wish you and the judges the very best of luck in the coming weeks. It's no mean feat trying to decide on the winners in each category. I don't envy you. I'm glad I'm not part of that process. You know, I'm sure Tony will join me in thanking you and air grid for your support. And we look forward to hearing more about the plans and opportunities of air grid. You have in the coming months and years. And we look forward to welcoming you in person to donnie gall on Friday the 11th of November. And I think it will be a celebration, a brilliant night of entertainment. And for this Tony for us to the CEO of letter, Kenny chamber of commerce. Thank you for joining me and she made do the head of communications with air grid. Also, thank you for joining me before I go just to let people know that tickets are available for the business awards at info at letter, Kenny chamber dot com. And Tony is there a phone number that can ring as well. Oh, seven four. And come in early and buy early and you're guaranteed to have a seat on the evening. Ladies. Thank you for joining me. Looking forward to see you then.


Santa knows where all the best toys are and this December many of the Hunter's smartphones are just a penny with service in Appalachian Wireless. Stop by your local Appalachian Wireless to check out all of the great smartphone deals that consistently top the nice lists. This Christmas is truly going to be bigger and better than ever. Better service, bigger savings than is. That's today's Appalachian Wireless! Job positions with the City of Pikeville were made available the same day the City cut the ribbon on what it hopes will create many more jobs at the Kentucky Enterprise Park, formerly known as Marion Branch Industrial Park. Park. Before today's ribbon-cutting ceremony, city officials said they will be fully staffing its new Office of Economic Development and hopes the new facility will enable them to perform their duties more efficiently. It's going to get us in a position now where we can focus solely on myself and a couple others that will be here. We'll be able to solely focus on economic development and going after those new jobs. So, you know, whether it's traveling to go talk to a company somewhere, an executive, to convince them that, you know, they need to be located here and bring those jobs here, that's what we're going to be doing. We're going to be working very hard to bring those new jobs into the region. The new bridge that connects U.S. 23 to the Merriam Branch Industrial Park is a vital piece of a project that looks to bring economic hope to not only Pine County but eastern Kentucky. Having direct access to U.S. 23 coming right off the highway was extremely important. We had shown this site to several companies that had interest in looking at eastern Kentucky and always the number one issue is that we need access to the site. The old Merriam Branch Road which run parallel with 23 was just a small narrow two-lane road and with the road that was built to the top of Merriam Branch which was designed to industry standards, having the actual bridge tie into it as well puts literally the icing on the cake. To quote Pikeville City Mayor Jimmy Carter at today's ceremony, the city of Pikeville is now open for business. Reporting from Pikeville for EKB News, I'm Sean Allen.


Everyone will come back to another XO's Heroes episode so my wish actually came true and FC Sabrina will be out by tomorrow will be discussing what her fate gives us and the other details but before that if you wanted updated XO's Heroes content please hit the subscribe button down below okay so for FC Sabrina she's called Eldorado Sabrina so notice fate core chance up Sabrina has become an idol in the parallel world of a new timeline so she's the leader of the idols so leader of a collaboration unit group with Eden so probably she's the manager Eden probably is the co-manager so she is a knack for scouting talent blah blah blah she's dropping tomorrow April 22nd after the maintenance actually yeah April 22nd after the maintenance and she's going to be out for a week as you all know already so again um I can't comment more on her design I'm speechless man speechless love her design love her costume love those legs legs for days okay so again costume design sweet very good very timely very k-pop and again I like the weapon it's actually very good in design I'm actually tempted to pull for a weapon just because she looks great in this weapon but let's move forward first don't get me too excited guys don't get me too excited so again for her fate core ability it has an attack of 61 defense of 50 health of 280 238 and an additional combat power of 10800 and her fate core instead of giving a nation buff it's going to give a buff on a on attack type heroes so good news for everybody so for those who are planning to pull for her all nations will be affected but only attack type heroes which is actually um at this point favorable for Linombe because most of their team is actually built around attack again but this applies to wasted red so I checked earlier because wasted red's my team so red Lee's affected um Annie's affected and also Schmidt is affected actually because he's attack um Maggie's affected um for Greenland you have Rera you have um you have Bathory affected by attack by this one so again this is just her base bonus okay just for one fate core as you fusion her fate core with multiple multiple times this what they call this this increase actually increases I'm sorry this stat addition actually increases so I'm not sure how big the bump is unless we you know I I try to fusion her tomorrow definitely I'm going to pull for her I'm going to give my unbiased you know um uh what they call this unbiased uh review of her FC right now she actually in terms of giving attack to all of the nations I think you should pull for her that's it based on the the buffs that that she gives which which you know um which which all nations can really um benefit from so that's it um I don't think you'll be using her for PVP unless you don't have other you know other heroes to bring but for the buff alone every nation should have her so that's it that's it for me so the buff will be strengthened when you proceed with blue fate core fusion again as I said during grades A A through E are randomly determined and changed to the maximum minimum range values according to capability if if more than once it will be randomly determined among the higher fusion levels in that current level so here's an example fusion grade E so basically E is your lowest so first fusion is this is your range max min for for combat power it's three to four it actually it's it has a gradual increase for the attack which is actually very important she it's four five the two fusions would be seven um nine nine to ten eleven to thirteen fourteen to fifteen for A okay so basically it it won't be that big ideally if you have three fusions for her it's really good nine percent ten percent but again if you could go all the way to all the way to A the better so fusion five for A so again here are the stats that you can you know have as an addition to your your your your attack heroes once you have FC Sabrina fusion from E to A okay so again for her skills so her skills is counter um counter three gains mana if a target dies gains mana one if health of the target is 70 percent she has also dragon blessing so increase the damage dealt to dragons with the dragon scale of order activated by 250 percent overtime effect decreased the enhanced dragon fan effect used by fire element dragon so you can bring her on fire element day okay she actually has superstar in fan club this is actually um similar to wait superstar targets afflicted with attention mark for seven turns when the skill hits increase all damage of time okay this is actually the the passive of um i think it's Runai so fan club increases target with fan mark yeah fan mark um the triggers double team from all living allies if the health of the enemy with fan with anti-fan is 30 percent or lower so definitely a passive which jenni got in her group so i think this is with synergy one so not not the not the synergy two okay so this is in addition to her fate core as well um but for s1 and s2 i'm sure there aren't changes because this is actually a blue fate core that she has so as a precaution eldorado sabrina is blue rated fate core the probability of recruiting her is 0.5 percent um similar to a gold fate core you earn one recruit mileage for each recruiting hero 11 times 28 core mileage for you to obtain her as a guarantee recruit so hopefully i could have luck tomorrow and i could pull for her again the additional buff in attack is actually worth it and any nation can actually benefit from the additional attack as long as they have attack type heroes okay her weapon is called el muerto or muerto is i think death um if if if my spanish is right but um so she has actually a good weapon design so sabrina's exclusive weapon a special sword with a powerful shine in appearance it shines brighter as the stage becomes heated again if i have extras this i'll try to recruit for this just for the aesthetics of it i'm really a fan of her design um but again i would recommend for those of you who plan to to to pull for her exclusive weapon i would suggest not because again for especially for those who who do not have the capability of of getting more zest through a purchase um don't pull for exclusive weapon you can actually get this at random at the door to creation if you are that lucky but more or less this will be hard to get but again the exclusive weapon is not not important if you really like sabrina like i do in terms of her design in terms of her exclusive weapon then you can pull for it but again i overall i would not recommend you guys to pull for her weapon at as this at this point because again the fate core the the weapon chance is also 0.5 similar to a gold fate core and also 28 core mileage so okay that is it for fc sabrina so more or less again guys don't pull for the exclusive weapon unless you're a fan of fc sabrina again it's it's not really a must the only must that you should pull is for her fate core which would give you attack bonuses for your attack type heroes which is here and again let's have a last look at her design very long legs again full design can't say more about her design again i'm i'm struck i'm at all and i'll be sounding for her tomorrow i'm sorry but i really want to i save enough zest for her around 20 thousand so i'm going to pity her definitely but i think it's up to pity because i have to save for the next gold fate core that's going to come and that is it guys so again if you have any comments suggestions put them down in the comment section below okay for those who haven't subscribed yet to my channel please do most of my viewers around 85 percent have not subscribed yet so please subscribe because this helps my channel a lot again guys take care always stay safe this is the warden and i'm out of here see you tomorrow for a summoning session


Hello and welcome to the International Daily Roundup by People's Dispatch, where we bring you major news developments from around the world. Our headlines. Algerian forces arrest student protesters amid crackdown on the Iraq protests. Student workers extend strike to demand fair play, pay pay and benefits in the US. Israeli air strikes kill one civilian in just 6th Syria. In our video section, we take a look at the necessity of global vaccination to effectively fight the COVID-19 pandemic. In our first story, we go to Algeria, where dozens of students were arrested on Tuesday. They were attempting to gather in the capital of Algeria for the weekly demonstrations as part of the Iraq protests. However, the demonstrators were violently dispersed by the police and many were detained and taken to police stations. As per updates by the National Committee for the Release of Detainees, at least 25 people were later released. However, around 6 protest organizers and leaders continued to be in detention. This is the second week in a row that police have disrupted the students' demonstration. May 4th, we have marked the 1.15th Tuesday as part of the anti-government protests in Algeria. The protests have continued despite an escalating police crackdown especially throughout the month of April. Arrested reported by media organizations, at least 750 protesters were arrested and questioned by security forces across Algeria. 78 people were placed on a judicial custody and at least 43 were imprisoned. Arrested protesters have been accused of undermining national security and causing damage to national unity. Journalists also held a protest in Algeria on May 3rd to mark the World Press Freedom Day. They demanded that all detained journalists being held in pretrial detention be released. These include Rabba Karish, who has been detained since April 19th.  Since the start of the movement in 2019, the Algerian state has banned several news portals and arrested and imprisoned journalists. The police have also been accused of torturing activists during interrogation and detention. In our next story, we go to the US where a strike by student workers at New York University has entered its second week. Over 2,200 students have been organized by the Graduate Student Organizing Committee, the GSOC, is part of the United Auto Workers Union. The strike was launched on April 26th following multiple failed negotiations for a fair contract. The GSOC has argued that the NYU administration has not come to the bargaining table in good faith. The administration has also deployed pressure tactics to break the strike, including emailing the parents of the striking students. Graduate students at New York University are employed on an hourly basis and teaching is not included in the stipend that the PhD students receive. Student workers have been demanding a tiered wage hike system. This would include a hike of $1 per hour for master students and $2 per hour for doctoral students. However, the university has only offered a general wage hike of $1 per hour for all students. Other issues include the proposed cuts to teaching positions for graduate students, the presence of police inside the campus and better healthcare coverage. The strike has received widespread support from students and teachers, student unions from other universities have also planned a solidarity picket on May 5th. The strike at NYU is part of a broader wave of labour mobilizations in the U.S. student workers community. These include Illinois State University, where students voted in favour of a strike on April 22. A strike at Oregon Institute of Technology entered on May 4th after securing a tentative deal. Student workers at Columbia University have also rejected the tentative agreement offered by the administration. The strike is expected to continue after it was halted by the bargaining committee last month. One civilian has been killed and six others were injured during Israeli asterisks on Syria. Several casualties were reported after one of the strikes hit a civilian plastics factory. According to a statement by Syrian Army, the strikes targeting the country's northwestern region in the early hours of May 5th. The raid hit the port city of Latakia in the Mediterranean Sea and the towns of Hefa and Misyaf. A report by Reuters has said that the Israeli raid also struck several areas in the town of Jabla. The Syrian Army announced that its air defense system had intercepted and shorted on some of the missiles. Israel has escalated its attacks on Syria, claiming that it is targeting Iranian-backed militias in the country. This is the claim that Iran has repeatedly denied. According to one estimate, Israel carried out almost 1,000 such covert and unconfirmed strikes on Syria between 2017 and 2020. Intelligence company Jane stated last month that Israel had used 4,239 weapons in a three-year span. 70% of Israeli pilots have been involved in these attacks against the 955 targets. The strikes carried out this year alone have killed at least 10 soldiers and almost 50 government allied fighters. While Israel rarely acknowledges these attacks, the Syrian government has denounced them as a violation of the UN Charter and has asked the UN Security Council to intervene. And finally, we take a look at efforts to expand vaccine access across the world. Around 70% of people in G7 countries support patent waivers for the production of COVID-19 vaccines. They believe that while manufacturers should be fairly compensated for developing the vaccines, they should not hold a monopoly on the jabs. These findings are the recent of a survey released by the people's vaccine alliance. Members of the World Trade Organization have consistently blocked proposals by countries such as India and South Africa to waive these patents. Meanwhile, health experts have warned that the spread of the virus could render current vaccines ineffective within a year. As per a survey, 88% also stated that the persistent low vaccine coverage would make it likely for vaccine-resistant mutants to appear. Here is Dr. Satyajit Rath to talk more about these issues. Our currently grappling with Jan Czakowski, one of the US members of Congress, is putting together an appeal to the US President to put the presidential administration's weight behind the India-South Africa proposal for the waiver that you need reference to. And the opposition comes within the US Congress and Senate from pharma company-funded legislators through their talking points. And their talking point has been the one that you alluded to, which is, let's not touch patents because patents are not really the problem. It's the entire technological landscape that is the problem, and that, as Mr. Gates and the pharma company point out, is simply something that is not easily taught. And therefore, just leave it to us to do it as best as we can. And that is a fundamental problem. It's a fundamental problem because all the licensure agreements, for example, between the COVID-19 vaccine designers of the Global North and the vaccine scale manufacturers of the Global South, such as in India, the agreement with the Serum Institute of India, the agreement with Parodbiotic, which has its own partnership agreements with vaccine makers in the Global North, with Biological E, with Dr. Reddy's laboratories. All of these, easily a dozen vaccine manufacturers in India, have no difficulties with putting together and learning and absorbing the vaccine technologies of the Global North without any startup limitations. In fact, the Serum Institute itself has an ongoing arrangement with Novakvas for a completely different technological platform altogether. So in all of this, I don't see the problem as being one of difficulty in teaching the companies of the Global South how to do things. I see the real problem as being working out the commercial licensure arrangements and it is that delay and that limitation that is serving as the major rate limiting factor. If that rate limiting factor was at least alleviated, if not eliminated, then we would have a much larger scale of manufacture with not simply companies in India, but companies in Malaysia, companies in South Africa, companies in Argentina, companies in Brazil, companies in Mexico, at least one or maybe two companies in West Africa. So in all of this, we are therefore looking at commercial considerations limiting the rate of expansion of manufacturing scale, not technological limitations. And that is the fundamental point that I think it's important to keep. Vaccine capacity with perceptions that are built, as I said earlier, on differences in regulatory regime perceptions rather than in technologies, efficacies or anything else, but they are being used for the obvious purpose of geopolitical power games on the one hand. And I think that this is an extraordinarily callous response to a global pandemic. But going beyond that, it is the inevitable outcome of a fundamental choice that all countries of the world seem to have made, which is that public good in a pandemic is going to come out of the greed of the capitalist marketplace. And once you give into that, the commercial jockeying for profit advantage, which is really the other face of what you describe, is an inevitability. And that's all your time for today. We'll be back tomorrow with more news from around the world. Until then, keep watching People's Dispatch.


As you all know, Texas passed their voter suppression bill, and now we're kind of seeing what that looks like in practice. And spoiler alert, it's not good. So this is from Ursula Pirano of the Daily Beast. So Texas' new voting law is an absolute nightmare. Election administrators in Texas are reporting a record number of ballot rejections and early voting has only just begun. So just full stop disenfranchisement. This is exactly what we all expected. But this is the goal. This is not an unintended consequence of their voter suppression law. This is the goal of their voter suppression law. So rapid rise in rejected mail-in voting applications and ballots, limited resources among election workers, confusion galore, and a March 1 primary election quickly approaching. This is the reality in Texas as SB1, a controversial voting bill rather signed into law last year, goes into effect. With primary voting already underway, election officials, advocates, and everyday voters are struggling to navigate the newly enacted rules with little room for error. And folks on the ground are sounding the alarm concerned about disenfranchisement among perfectly eligible voting populations.  Charlie Bonner, communications director for the voting rights group Move Texas told the Daily Beast. SB1 is jam-packed with new rules for voting throughout Texas, among those is a provision requiring voters to provide a driver's license number or the last four digits of their social security number on their mail-in voting applications and ballots. The number provided must match with the state he has on file for any given voter. Opponents worry that's a gateway to rejection with the potential for mail-ballot applications or mail-ballots themselves being balanced because their identification information doesn't match the voter's file. Advocates are also concerned about a lack of awareness of the new law potentially causing voters to unknowingly leave the identification information off their forms. So let's just pause right here. So do you think that after they passed this law, they sent out mailers to voters letting them know about the changes, letting them know, hey, we just made some changes. You're going to have to verify that the information that we have on file matches what you put down on the paper because if you changed anything, you're fucked. Do you think that they did this? Of course they didn't because the goal is to make less people vote and that's exactly what the outcome will be. The current rejection rate for mail-in ballot applications in Texas seems to support that worry. Officials across the state are reporting higher than usual defect rates for mail-ballot applications. Leah Shaw spokesperson for Harris County Elections told the Daily Beast, her county is seeing an 11% rejection rate specific to the new laws. Last month officials in Travis County said they were rejecting about half of the mail-in ballot applications they received, half. That is insanity, according to the Texas Tribune. While 325 applications were rejected in Bexar County for failing to provide an ID number or providing one that was not on file. So this is not just one, two percent of voters getting rejected. Half? 11%? I mean, this is true voter suppression here and it's just, this is awful. Texas voters are entitled to correct their mail-in voting applications or ballots if there's an error, but elections administrators say the process for alerting voters to errors lacks uniformity from county to county. Hmm, interesting. Largely depending on a county's budget and resources, of course. Chris Davis, the elections administrator for Williamson County, said he's blessed to have a staff of 15 and ample resources. Shaw said her office has been able to double its call center team and has mail-ballot staffers who often work 12-hour days in order to go above and beyond in contacting voters, but not all of Texas's 254 counties have the wherewithal. We're able to, because we are the largest county in the state and the fourth in the country, Shaw said, but smaller or less populous counties don't always have those resources and this is the way it's going to be, you know, across the country. So this right here is specifically why it was so crucial that Democrats passed voting rights. And so for them to just give up because Kyrsten Sinema and Joe Manchin won't support a carve out for the filibuster at a minimum and just to have them say, okay, that's it, unacceptable. I mean, what did Joe Biden say after the filibuster carve out was rejected? He said, I don't know if we can get this done, but I'll fight for it. Has anyone seen that? Has anyone seen him try to follow through on that promise to fight because it doesn't even seem like he's trying to make us think that he's fighting.   He's not doing anything. This is a serious threat to our democracy. They have less than a year to act if they don't pass this before November. This is the new normal. This is the new normal. And yet there's just no urgency. They're just moving on and they're saying, okay, let's call it in February. We've got an election this year. Let's just run on what we passed earlier. This is our democracy we're talking about. You can't undo the damage caused to democracy. It's very difficult to do that. So the fact that this wasn't priority number one for the Democratic Party shows how unserious they are about politics. Only 28 states move to change their voting laws after the 2020 election, right? Right? Isn't that more than half, more than half. Democrats are like, we tried. That's it. No pressure on mansion and cinema. No direct condemnation publicly. Look, if it were the case that this was happening and Democrats weren't in control, it'd still be completely unacceptable.  Unacceptable. Either you support democracy or you don't. One thing that really frustrates me is how the media covers this. So the media will say, well, you know, mansion and cinema support voting rights, but they just don't support a carve out to the filibuster.  They don't support voting rights. Otherwise they would support a carve out to the filibuster as they have in the past. They don't want to get rid of the filibuster entirely, but they have supported carve out cinema, supported a carve out for the budget just a couple of months ago. And so they're using the filibuster as plausible deniability.  They don't. Yeah. AOC. Right. We may not have a democracy in 10 years. Yeah. That's what I'm worried about too. And I did a video covering her remarks on that because it's so important. I don't think that people really have grappled with the reality of the situation currently. I think that people believe that, you know, things will just improve down the line. No, it's going to get worse. We are reaching territory that is not sustainable for our democracy. The long-term health of our democracy really depends on what we do in this moment. If we don't take action now, when I say we, I mean Democrats specifically in power, if they don't take action right now, if they don't take this seriously, you can't, you can't fix how bad this is becoming. It's bad enough that we have a Supreme Court that's far right with a supermajority, but to not even pass the bare minimum, which by the way, the John Lewis voting rights act that is watered down legislation before the people act was voting rights and electoral reform to an extent and anti-corruption measures. But then they took all that out, watered it down and they just have voting rights act with the John Lewis voting rights act. And they can't even get that done.  Yeah, we couldn't get it done. That's it. That's it.  What are you doing? Do you or do you not believe in democracy? Because if you don't fight and Republicans further do voter suppression and they pass these Orwellian laws and draconian laws in their countries that allow them to literally override the will of voters and send their own rogue electors to the electoral college to choose whoever wins the next presidency. That's on you. You're complicit. You're complicit. Inaction at this point in time makes you complicit.


Don't know how I did that. I thought I was oh my god. I thought I was oh my god I was thinking about defense so much Super bummer YouTube players lounge tournaments. They have them every single night They have them on regs for you regs heads.

He's a big body. He's gonna get it done. We're gonna put him out here See how he does under pressure I use the ability gift wrapped on him because if like you don't somebody open They're always gonna catch it and you start to catch a little more things in traffic Your boys hold on to the ball.

So gift wrapped it is Franco Harris with half-back master that angle route is just too good right now He's a monster Franco Devin Hester with deep and elite for streaks DK Medcalf is still on my team. I tried London and I tried Christian Watson DK Seattle theme is just a monster Chad Johnson. We got the new Mike Kisicki Mike Kisicki just as fast as Kyle Pitts a little bit bulkier and he has that crazy 86 short route running whip routes out routes drag routes anything he's gonna get open man He's a monster a little bit stronger a little bit more physical than Kyle Pitts So we'll try a gaseki. See how he does defense. We're going to rock Sherman and I read his safeties We're not Tariq woolen JC Jackson Jalen Ramsey. We do have saw somewhere We do have Joey Blunt Jamal Adams and Grant Delpit I believe it at linebacker, but then we got Warren sap eight and Hutchinson. We use Nolan Smith. We use Jok we use a lot of different players, but mostly eddy read Sherman JC Jackson Tariq woolen the boys So this was a tournament game. This tournament is for $5,000 Check this one out boys.

Seven things that poor people do that rich people don't.  So I know what poor people do. And I've been fortunate in my business and we've done okay. And I've met some incredibly wealthy people. And so I wanted to just kind of share these things with you because if you see some of these things in your life, seven things that poor people do that rich people don't, you may be able to identify them and say, hey, I don't want to do these things anymore. You know, that's not the direction I want to head. You know, sometimes you're doing these things and you don't even realize it. You're like, oh my God, that's exactly what I do. So I don't want you to do those things. So I figure if I listed them out for you, it would help you a lot. So that's what I'm going to do. So the first thing, this is the big killer. And I got to tell you, I was guilty of this years ago. I'm not anymore, but I was guilty of this years ago. And the first thing is poor people watch TV. They do, they watch a lot of TV and it's amazing how much time that will burn up. And that's number one, if you're keeping track. But the amount of time that TV will burn up, if you have a lot of favorite shows, you probably don't have a very big bank account. If you've got a lot of favorite shows. So that's the first thing I would tell you is that by watching these shows constantly, you're just gonna really, you're gonna hurt yourself. You are, rich people tend to read books. They tend to learn things. They tend to get better at what they do. And it's just kind of a bad thing. TV is probably not gonna do you any good. And I'm not saying never watch TV, but some people, they make a career of it. I mean, they put in their six, eight hours a day watching TV and it's a shame because it's really not gonna get you anywhere.  And the way it costs you money is that same time could be invested in doing something that's gonna move you forward. And I know a lot of people say, well, I need my downtime and that's why I watch TV and that's why I have my shows. You really don't. You really don't need that. And it's really, it's probably doing you more harm than good because for the most part it's negative. It's people arguing or bickering or bad news or whatever. So I'm gonna tell you that you probably don't need that. That's probably not something you need. But some people do it. Now, the next thing I'm gonna tell you is that poor people get paid by the hour or salary every couple of weeks. And rich people get paid based on results. What do they do? What do they do that contributes? What do they do that gets them more money? And I'll give you a good example. It's, some people say, well, I'm a really good person and I really work hard. And I know you work hard, but I want you to stop and just look at your job for a second and ask yourself how many people could do your job? And I'm not saying that you're not good at your job, but I'm just saying it is your job easily replaceable. But is your job something that almost anybody can do? If you're working fast food, I thought it was funny a few years ago, everybody was talking about, well, fast food workers need to be paid more because they can't live off their wages. And that may be true, but that job is a beginner job.  And a lot of jobs are like that.  You could be the best janitor in the world.   You don't have a lot of applicants for brain surgeon. So those guys are gonna get paid a whole lot more and I do marketing and I get paid based on my results in marketing online. And since I get paid on that, I get paid very well because I get good results, okay? And I figured out things that worked. And I gotta tell you, when I started off on this, you know, I was in the automotive industry and I didn't even know how to type. And I'll tell you the truth, I still don't know how to type. And I didn't know how to send emails and I didn't know anything about web pages or I didn't know anything about anything. I just knew that I didn't wanna do what I was doing anymore and I knew I wanted to do something different. So the number two thing I'm gonna tell you is you've gotta, you know, change that skill set.  It's just the way it is. Another thing that poor people do and you see this all the time is they blame other people.  They got blamed for everybody. And the problem with that is is that if you're blaming everybody, the things that really are your responsibility, you're never even gonna notice because you've got an excuse for where you're at and what's going on. And when you do that, guess what? You never get ahead. It just never happens. So, you know, that's another thing. That's number three, poor people blame people. That's the way it is. Now the next thing is, and you've probably been taught this your whole life and I was too, is that you need to save. You gotta save, you gotta save.  Well, here's the deal with a penny saved. It's still a penny. It's still not worth anything. And you're never gonna be able to out-save inflation because you're never gonna get the interest rate that inflation is. It's just the way it is. So if you were to save constantly, and I'm not saying don't save some money, you gotta save some money for rainy day, but if you think that's gonna get you rich, you're totally wrong. Rich people invest. You know, they buy stocks. They invest in real estate. They buy things that are gonna increase in value. I remember, gosh, it's probably been 10, 11, 12 years ago. I was at one of our dealerships up in Tyson's corner and I was looking at the Sirius stock. I looked down at my phone. I said, well, how much is Sirius XM stock? What does it sell for? Because I was looking out there at all these cars on the lot and I was noticing they all had a Sirius radio in them. They all had Sirius XM radios. And the stock was 24 cents. Wow, I thought, well, I can afford that. That I can afford. So I bought it and I didn't buy enough, but I will tell you right now at September 4th, 2019, guess what that stock's worth? $6.22. Now, if I had invested 24 cents in a savings account and waited 10, 12 years, it would not be worth $6.22. I promise you. So that little bit of money I put in there was an investment and it went up. And I did nothing for it. And I also started buying some other stocks at the same time because I saw this trend thing. So you gotta not save you. I mean, you gotta save, but don't focus on that as a way to make money because you're not gonna do it. It's never gonna happen. You've always gotta put some money aside for a rainy day, but it's not gonna happen. You're not gonna get rich. Now, here's a big one because one thing I do every now and then by guilty pleasure in the weekend, I'll turn on that. And this is gonna be number five. I'll turn on that show Live PD. You ever see that show Live PD?   That person's dumb. But the one thing that I've noticed on that show and they're poor people for the most part that those police are coming up against is poor people know it all. They friggin' know it all. They get into arguments about what they know. And let me tell you what knowing it all is. Knowing it all is nothing more than saying, I've got this opinion, look at me. Look at me, I've got this opinion. So saying you know it all is basically just saying, look at me, I want attention. I want attention. And for the most part, those people who know it all, and I get it, I get comments on my videos, well, you should have done this and you should have done this and your lighting's not this and I don't like the copy you did and I think you're wrong about this. And then I always say, what have you done? What have you sold online? When was the last time you had a million dollar sale or $500,000 sale? When was the last time you sold a hundred bucks online? But you're so willing to give advice which is hilarious to me. And I just look at those people and I'm like, wow, you're giving me comments on what I should do and they don't do anything. It makes no sense to me. So that's number five is poor people know it all, rich people understand they don't know it all and they constantly learn. You know, a piece of software I'm using right now in a camera, you can't see this camera if you're on Facebook, you can on YouTube because I'm looking right at you. But this whole setup I've got here now, I didn't have a few days ago. And it's like every year I have new software. The software I use for marketing now called Cartra, I didn't use that two years ago. It's like you have to constantly evolve and I realize I've got to keep learning because I don't know everything and things are going to change and if I don't do that, then I'm going to fall behind. So that's the big one. Number five, poor people know it all. Number six, poor people believe that money is the root of all evil. You've heard it over and over. I heard it as a kid growing up because I live in a poor neighborhood and I said those rich people, they're bad people. They've got to be because they've got money they had to have done something wrong to get money. And rich people believe that poverty is the root of all evil. Think about it.  You don't see that happening in Beverly Hills. You know, I live in a nice area here in San Diego. We don't have those kind of problems in the neighborhood. So the truth is the lack of money is the root of all evil. Not having money causes you to do things you probably wouldn't otherwise do because you're not happy in your situation.  So no bank has ever been robbed by somebody driving a Rolls-Royce. It just hasn't happened, right? They don't need to do that. It's a waste of their time. So money in itself is a neutral thing and money can do good and it can do bad and I know it can still do bad. However, the point is poverty is the root of all evil. Not having money. And then I've got number seven. Number seven is my last, is that my last one? It is my last one on here. And here's what it is. Number seven is poor people have what's called a lottery mentality.  And it's so funny because I went to the grocery store yesterday, I was right outside of Vons and there was a lady out there that was obese, terribly overweight, hadn't dressed that nice and she had a stack of these lottery cards and she was feverishly scratching them and scratching. I'm talking like maybe a hundred of them a lot. And I thought, wow, that's really pretty sad because she thinks that if she can make a little money on that, then that's how she's gonna get ahead. And that's just not the case. So I went off to work and I worked. And I worked most of the day and then I went to the gym and I don't think she went to the gym and I'm not making fun of her, but health-wise she was in bad shape. And then when I left the gym, we had to get some stuff for dinner. So I came home, got showered, did a live video, went back to Vons and lo and behold, that woman was back sitting outside at that table and she had another stack of lottery tickets. Now, I have no idea what she spent in a day, but I can tell you this, it's not gonna work. It's not gonna work. Rich people have an action mentality. They were like, if I can put forth some effort and I can do something, then maybe I will get ahead. Like, I do videos, I don't do that many videos. I started to do a whole lot more because people have asked for it. And sometimes people will say, well, you didn't get that many views on your video. You didn't have that many people in your live. And I'm like, yeah, that's true. Later on, I end up getting more views and people contact me and overall, I get results, right? And we sell our products and I sell my courses and I make money. And it may not be what you think it should be, but it's more than what you'll get if you do nothing.  I think a lot of people don't do that or they don't do a sales page or they don't do an ad because they feel like, well, if I do it and it doesn't work out that I'm gonna look bad, quit worrying about that. That doesn't matter. It really doesn't matter. Those people that are gonna have opinions about you are probably not the people that you really wanna be around anyhow. You wanna people say, well, that's a great job. You got three people to watch or you got two people. That's more people than they have because they're not doing anything, right? So the point I wanna make here is do something. Get some results. And success is not like, and I've had people say, well, you got it made now because you were successful in this survival food company and you've got these courses. No, because that stuff goes up and down. It's not every single day I make millions of dollars for my food company. It just chugs along and there's peaks and valleys and I make money on it and the same thing with my courses and the same thing with coaching and the same thing with marketing and the same thing with these videos. But I know this, if I keep putting forth effort every single day in the right direction with the right people and working hard at it, overall, I'm gonna make money and I do well. So I just wanted to share those seven points with you today. I hope it helps you out. I wanna give you a free course too. If you go to the, I guess it's the description section and I'm sure it's on YouTube and I think it's on Facebook too. If you do that, you're gonna see a link in there and it says free e-commerce course. If you click on that, it's free. You don't need a credit card. You don't have to pay for anything but it's gonna give you some insight into doing e-commerce online and it really will help you out. I highly suggest if you wanna get my book that's also in the description and that will help you find products to sell online. And we also have my Inner Circle there which I highly recommend. The Inner Circle is awesome. It gives you access to all my courses and everything and if you're really serious you wanna get ahead fast, Inner Circle's the way to go. But grab the free stuff, do all that. I really appreciate you listening and do me a favor, just hit that like button right now. Why are we talking about it?

And I wanna know, have you tried some of these things? Did some of these things that I just described to you do you see them in your own life? Do you see it going on in your own life right now?
