Ladies and gentlemen, you go right ahead and if and everyone can serve dessert and so forth I just want to make a few remarks here, but I precede with a special bulletin I understand there's been some conversation about whether you would have an opportunity to see more of the the White House than just this room and so I have been told that That diplomatic reception room downstairs that you came in that oval office room downstairs When we depart here if you will gather there the guys will be there and conduct you on a tour of the of the White House And now just welcome to the White House and I think that Ted Bell will agree when I say there isn't a group who belongs here more than you America's finest educators I'm very proud and happy to have you here Seeing you here today. I'm filled with confidence about the Preparation of our children in the future of our nation if I may improvise on a line from one of my predecessors He said in this room there has not been so much brain power commitment and dedication Concentrated in this one room since Thomas Jefferson dined here alone But you know I've given toast to kings and queens in this room as well as to prime ministers and presidents But you're the only group from whom I've ever felt obliged to diagram my sentences I'd like to congratulate all of you for being recognized as teachers of the year in your own states And I know you will join me in a special salute to the 1983 national teacher of the year dr. Leroy E. Hay I Was a little disturbed. I had two names for him one was Lee Hay But then he told me that this one was the correct one that his mother really would like it if I use the whole name Behind each of your awards of course are countless Individual children whose lives you've touched Whose minds you broaden and whose character you've helped shape The knowledge the judgment the love that you shared will follow them through their lives And that will enrich all of us on behalf of a grateful nation. I thank you I also want to thank the counsel of chief state school officers the encyclopedia Britannica companies and Good Housekeeping magazine Together they've sponsored the national teacher of the year competition for more than three decades Promoting and rewarding excellence in our classrooms, and that's just the kind of cooperation and initiative That we need more of if we're to get our education system in our country back on track someone once said that a school is a building that has four walls and tomorrow inside Our history has been a testament to the fact of our education system the key that unlocked the golden door of opportunity for our people Has been in those buildings when our forebears were throwing up makeshift towns across our wilderness continent among the first structures that they built where the churches and Then came the school houses and as a matter of fact the tradition of the little church related college to where I Went to college in Illinois Eureka College the tradition there has It was reversed when Ben major in command of the wagon train and they stopped in a walnut grove of trees and decided that this was Where they would settle he sank an axe in a tree and Said here we will build our school and they built their school before they They built anything or their own their own homes the Recent report of our commission on excellence in education exposed what it labeled as a rising tide of mediocrity in education According to that report a about 13 percent of our 17 year olds are functional illiterates More than two-thirds of our high schoolers can't write a decent essay The study indicates the quality of learning in our classrooms has been declining for the last quarter of a century a fact That I'm sure won't surprise many of you There's nothing to matter with our children, and I'd like to make it plain once and for all There's nothing the matter with America's teachers You are people who savor the sound of a well-turned phrase and delight in introducing youth to Shakespeare knowing that it was youth That Shakespeare loved you best understand how a mastery of math can help master life how science can open endless worlds To the imagination and how history teaches judgment and perspective Many of you have been waving a red warning flag for years now calling for more stress on basics and pointing out how society Has discouraged some of our most capable people from choosing teaching careers. It's time America listened to you again respected you again and Rewarded your effort and excellence with salaries that will encourage our best young people to follow in your footsteps That's why Secretary Bell and I have been pushing hard for a National agenda for excellence in education and one of the first items on it is the concept of merit pay for teachers If we want to achieve excellence, we must reward it. It's a simple American philosophy that dominates many other professions So why not this one? There are plenty of outstanding teachers outside of this room. They're teaching in classrooms all across America What we must do is find them Promote them and hold them up as role models not just for other teachers, but for our children There are many important jobs in American life, but I can't think of any that are more important than teaching As I told a group of journalists recently. I remember the high school teacher who changed my life BJ Fraser Dixon, Illinois. He taught English and drama But most important he channeled my imagination in ways that set it free I owe him a great deal William Mallory Channing and early American clergyman once said that it's a greater work to educate a child than to rule a state What he said was right then as America said her first minorities Her priorities I should say and it is still true today as we return to them America's parents Administrators and office holders must join with you in a new campaign for educational excellence With your continued help and dedication and our renewed commitment We can and will restore America's ability to educate all our children to the highest standards. We know So thank you very much not only for coming here today but for dedicating your lives to our children and to our future and Just let me know how I can be of help to you Good luck and God bless you all


Chris, new car parts. Oh, more. Oh yeah. Dope. Are those mantletraps? Yeah. I don't know what that means. I have no idea either. Try to remember some of the basics of CQC. If that's you, don't worry, you're not the only one. There are several types of machines used to bend a tube, and we make lots of stuff with lots of bends, like intakes, charged pipes, and exhausts, and they all benefit from mandrel bending. This is where the name mandrel bending comes from, because this thing is a mandrel. The end of the mandrel looks kind of like a rattlesnake's tail, and these mandrel balls are connected by ball joints. It also matches the internal diameter of the tube, so it can simultaneously support the shape while following the various radii as it's bent. And this is a big old CNC tube bender. There are a few other key components for this type of bender. First, the mandrel rod that of course holds the mandrel. The clamp die secures the tube against the bend die and clamps firmly to draw the tube with it as the process takes place.  This piece determines the radius of the bend.  Another super important bit is the wiper die. It's positioned on the inside just before the line of tangency and against the bend die to fill in this space and prevent wriggling. These are all examples of bends that we can make on our mandrel bender, but not all benders use a mandrel or even function in the same way. The types of bends you'll usually see at a typical muffler shop or even with some OEM components uses what's known as a pressure or a crush bender. It's a cheaper solution and it gets a job done, but like with most things, you get what you pay for. Some parts are similar. They both use specific dies to hold the tube in place and determine the specific radius of the bend, but the lack of a mandrel and more simplified machinery produces bends with obvious differences and deformations like wrinkling on the inner diameter, flattening on the outer diameter, and kinks at the beginning and end of the bend. When seen side by side, it's pretty obvious how a mandrel bend piece is more valuable by offering consistent quality and flow plus a much nicer appearance. Most of you won't ever actually use a CNC mandrel tube bender on your own, but at least you now know what it means and why it matters when you're shopping for parts.


Good morning, Quie. I found the video that you posted two weeks ago about the original cube and I appreciated it very much. As you can see, I have an original cube. This is the cube that I've had since 1980 or 81. I bought it really early. My friends and I discovered the cube pretty much as soon as it hit the USA back then. Believe me, I've used these things like crazy. I've just taken really good care of it to make sure it doesn't get dirty or chipped or any of the stickers torn or anything. I just wish I'd kept the box. Anyway, I discovered your video after JKC. You just keep cubing post of the cube authority trailer. My favorite cube on YouTube is probably Pete the Geek but he hasn't posted anything for weeks so I went looking for new cubers to find online and that's how I found the JKC. I also bought the Rubik's Revenge as it was called back in the day. 4x4. As you can see, the original cubes had blue on the bottom, not yellow. Yellow was opposite green. The reason I took notice of your video about the original cube is because I have a question about the official cubing competitions. I haven't been able to find an answer online. I don't even know how to search for the answer. My question is at which point was blue officially swapped with yellow and was there a reason for it? Anyway, I'm an old school cuber and to my thinking blue belongs on the bottom and I'm going to have to change the way I think about the cube if I'm going to get used to the modern cubes. I can solve the 3x3 in about 3 minutes. To the average person, that's astonishing. I've done it at parties from time to time and when people are at parties when they're talking and laughing and drinking, 3 minutes is so fast that it goes by before they even know what's happened. When I first read a few years ago that there were a new generation of cubers who were solving a cube in less than 20 seconds, I didn't believe it. I just flat out refused to believe it. But then two years ago or so, I started looking at these new cubers on YouTube and well, there they are. I can't deny it. As you pointed out, they're certainly not using these old school Rubik's brand cubes like I do. While that might be part of it, I think it's going to be difficult for me to learn a new way of thinking about the cube because I've been doing this for 35 years now and I'm very fixed in the way I approach the cube and the way I look at it and the way I think about it. Anyway, I also have this monstrosity. I know they call them megaminx today, but back in the 80s when I bought this, this actually belonged to a friend of mine. He loaned it to me and it stayed with me. So I don't know what it was called. It certainly wasn't called a megaminx back then. I never saw the packaging. We just always call it the dodecahedron. Now this thing, it's been in storage for many years. You can see how I came up with my own solutions to it. I approached it the same way I approached the 3x3. I saw the bottom corners. I never got the bottom edges quite right. There was one point at which I had the bottom edges placed properly, but then I never got them oriented properly. But since then, I continue to play with it since then and they're not even in the right spots now. But this thing, tremendously difficult to move. I mean, it's like a solid block of plastic. It takes effort to push the parts around. So it's really no fun to play with. I think that's part of the reason I never finished it. Anyway, do you have an answer about when and why the official colors were changed? So I'd really be interested to know, especially the why of it. And what is there a particular reason for it? And does anybody feel that really improved anything? Anyway, greetings to you, Quie, and to JKC. I am a fan and I hope somebody is interested in answering the question. Bye.


In this video we'll look at adding info boxes to articles on Wikipedia. An info box is a box with basic information on the subject of a Wikipedia article. For example, there's one in this Wikipedia article. The info box is on the right hand side of the page and includes their name, a photo, date of birth and some other information. Not every Wikipedia article needs an info box. But they are useful because they summarize information and it's also a handy place to insert a relevant photo. To add an info box, first click on edit to start editing the Wikipedia article. For this tutorial we're using the visual editor. If your screen doesn't look like this, you might be in the source editor. You can click on the pencil icon to change between these two editors. Once you're in visual editor, click your mouse cursor near the top of the article. This will make sure the info box is at the top of the page and not floating in the middle of nowhere. Now click on insert and then click templates. A box should pop up. Type info box. And then we need to decide what type of info box we want to use. There's the general info box person. But we can be more specific. Because this is a Wikipedia page about a musician. Type info box musical artist. Click on the correct link. And this box should pop up. You can now start inserting all of the information you want to add. Things like date of birth are useful and if the person is a musician you can add what instruments they play or what regular label they were with. If it's a band you can even add in all the members of the band and pass members too in another section. Each info box will be slightly different. So while the musical artist info box has information about instruments and musical genres. An info box about a theatre or type of car obviously wouldn't have these. Once you've added in all of the information needed, click insert and the info box should appear on the page like this. If it's not in the right position, click on it and hold down your mouse button so you can drag it to the correct spot. As mentioned there are different types of info boxes you can use on Wikipedia. To see a list of info boxes, go to the search bar at the top of the page, type WP, IB and click list of info boxes. You'll come to this page. You can use the menu to find the different types of info boxes. For example, for info boxes about people like musicians, actors or politicians, just click person and you'll find lots of different info boxes to use. If you would like to read more information about info boxes, go to the search box at the top of Wikipedia and type WP colon infobox and click the first result. This will take you to Wikipedia's manual of style page about info boxes.


What's up everybody, I'm TheMangoose, you are awesome and it's time for another edition of The Road Back to Paragon. Just like last month, I'm going to keep it short and sweet by only covering what happened this month in the world of the possible Paragon replacements that I cover. Real quick, I do not have any firm alpha dates yet. All of these games do plan for future console release, and the two that are using Paragon assets plan to use all of the assets, every hero. Now onto the news for this month. Let's start with Omeda Studios and their game, Predecessor. Omeda continues to stream the development of the game, however, the streams have become fewer as they begin to do internal playtesting of Predecessor. They've completed both the red and blue jungle buffs and have also worked on the item system so that it functions with the rest of the updates. They also added movement speed penalties for when a hero attacks, strafe, or moves backwards. Fringe created a new graphic option menu that will help people with less powerful computers still run the game at a decent fps. And probably the biggest thing is that they've been calling upon those with alpha keys to assist with bug testing when they don't have enough members of the Omeda team on. I personally was given the opportunity to do so and can tell you from first hand experience that the gameplay has been significantly improved from the closed alpha session back in the March-April timeframe. Some of the major issues that have been fixed include the input delay, player collision, and the extremely loud footsteps that many people have hit so much have been removed. There are still of course bugs in the game, but everything that I reported has been fixed already, which is kind of amazing. Now onto Undying Games with Aetherial. They let us take a look at two new myths to this month starting with Marina, an aquatic cleric myth, and the final hero planned for their 14 hero alpha roster. They also gave us a little preview of Dr. Grace, another cleric hero. Grace however will not be in the alpha. It's nice to see that they're already playing for hero releases for the game in the future. After we debuted Grace the one for the minions, Mandy and Albert discussing her, Mandy is all about Dr. Grace's mech, and we thought that maybe with the flying heroes being part of the game that perhaps when Grace is in her mech she'll be able to fly. I asked one of the undying founders about this and he neither confirmed nor denied it. Fingers crossed people, fingers crossed. Onto Visionary Games and Project Phoenix, rising not much this month however they are starting to lay the groundwork necessary to re-enter the public spotlight. This isn't anything to get super hyped about. It still may be months before we hear anything significant from them, but it's good to see Visionary, the first company to pick up the Paragon Torch, show some signs of life. Metabuff and Core, not much that affects gameplay this month for Metabuff, they had some programmers leave but have been able to replace them without losing any progress on the game. There's a lot of rumors flying around about Metabuff but I'm going to focus on what I can see as solid info and avoid the gossipy shit. That's it for this month folks, the news has slowed down quite a bit of late, with the exception of the meta who have picked up the pace significantly.  I will not however be including Genesis as one of the games I cover in these videos. The game I loved was a fully immersive 3rd person mode but I highly doubt that an isometric top down will ever be able to replace Paragon for me. Not to worry though, Britta continues to cover Genesis so if you want great information and even better gameplay for Genesis you can head over to his channel linked in the video description below. Also like me he hasn't given up on any of these games either so I'm sure he'll have some videos on some of the bigger news when it comes out. For now this is TheMangoo signing off, you guys have a good one. TheMangoo!


What's up guys, I'm Brian Sakawa, you're watching He Spoke Style and today I'm showing you three different ways to style the Rolex Samara. Before we get started, I want to tell you that this video is presented in partnership with Crown and Caliber.

He Spoke Style viewers, that's you guys, can save $150 off your first purchase at Crown and Caliber with code HSS150. Full details for the discount are down below in the description. Before we get to the outfits, we are just going to talk a little bit about the Submariner itself. Now what can you say about the Sub? It is classic, it is iconic, it is one of the coolest watches ever designed. I mean, you've seen them on everyone from Sean Connery as James Bond to Steve McQueen, David Beckham, Fidel Castro. It's a very popular watch but its ubiquity does not take anything at all away from the Rolex Submariner. Let's talk history real quick. Introduced in 1953 as a result of a challenge to create a dive watch that was functional but that would also work outside of the water with regular dress or evening clothes. One of the things that makes the Submariner so iconic is that its design really hasn't changed all that much over time. It is a tool watch with a unidirectional rotating bezel. The first references were the 6204 and the 6205. The reference that was made famous on screen by James Bond in 1962 was the 6538. After that, the 5512 was sort of where the watch's design really became standardized. Then in 1969 of course, you had the first appearance of the date window with the reference 1680. Now this is sort of the turning point and where the Submariner really started to have a mass market appeal. After that, you started to see lots of different flavors like all gold, two tone, different bezel colors, rather than just the classic steel version with black dial and bezel. The watch I'm going to be styling in this video is a reference 14060. 40 millimeter case size, which I feel wears much smaller than the more modern 114060. Drilled lugs, no date window, super classic, very versatile. Now there are so many different ways that you could style a Submariner, but for this video, I'm only going to show you three outfits, but they do range all the way from dressed up to casual. First up, we have a business look. Now one of the most common questions I get about the Submariner is can I wear it with a suit? Obviously for me, the answer is yes. Now because it's a sporty watch, it's not going to work in every situation. For example, I would not wear it to a fancy dinner or other type of refined evening event. Definitely never with a tuxedo, but for the day to day and with the right kind of suit, I do think it works. Here I'm wearing it on the bracelet with a hopsack navy suit, white French cuff shirt, brown pattern tie, double monk strap shoes. I think it goes really well with hopsack because of the texture of the fabric. It's got a more casual vibe to it even if you are wearing it in a business context with a tie. Because the design of the Submariner is so simple and minimalistic, I don't think it calls attention to itself or detracts from the outfit at all. Next outfit is just a simple no-nonsense business casual or sharp casual look, brown cotton blazer, denim shirt, cotton khaki trousers, and some suede lace ups. Now one of the things that can really help make the Sub more versatile is if you swap out the bracelet for some type of different strap. As you can see here, I have it on a brown leather strap. Changing your watch strap is such a good way to give any watch a very different look and exponentially increase its versatility. I love the Sub on a brown leather strap. I think it really helps it pair with looks like this. I think a leather strap kind of softens the watch a little bit and makes it part of the outfit rather than standing out as it would on the metal bracelet.  This look is casual, a little edgy, rugged, so I swapped out the leather strap from the last look for a gray NATO strap. NATO straps are perfect for laid-back casual looks like this. They come in so many different colors and the best part is that they are relatively inexpensive so easy to have a handful laying around to swap out for different outfits. There you have it, three ways to style a Rolex Submariner. Reminder that you guys can save $150 off your first purchase at Crown and Caliber with code HSS150. Full details as well as links to everything I wore down below in the description. Leave your comments below and let me know which outfit you like best. Thumbs up if you liked this video.
