First of all, I've got to thank Margaret Woodcroft of Schalock Central School. The images that I have were on my phone, my old phone. And if you've ever lost a phone and you haven't backed it up, you'll lose everything. So I'm so grateful that she had all the images. Kathleen Harris, but I didn't get the... But past president of the Chittenden County Historical Society. Thank you so much, Carolyn Gould, who just introduced me. Katie Woodward and Mike Hibben of the Shelburne Pearson Memorial Library. I'm very grateful. And also, I see Sue is here. She's also has filled many roles over the years. And also, the person that started this is a talk... It will not be an identical, obviously. But I gave a talk on Guy at the Schalock... For the Schalock Historical Society at the Schalock Library last November. And so I must thank Martha Stone for starting this whole thing. And then I have some family members here. A couple of cousins and a husband and a sister and a brother, a son and a daughter. So I'm very grateful for all of you that have come. Thank you. Guy. He was born... Whoops, on the wrong way. He was born in Tinseng called Zhenzhen now. And that's on the Bohei Sea, which is the northern part of the South China Sea. And it's about 100 kilometers from Beijing, which is obviously northern China. I don't know exactly when he was born because it had to do with the phases of the moon. He knows it was between April 12th and March 12th, 1912. His father was a rather prominent businessman. His mother unfortunately passed away at a very young age of 12. But their connection with Guy is certainly through the maternal side. His grandfather is Lin Chen, who was more affectionately known as Ambassador Chen. And that's C-H-E-N-G. To the right is his mother. That's his daughter. And he was educated in the mid-1800s at Philip Saxon. He became a very good baseball player and loved playing baseball. He then went to Amherst Humas College and received an undergraduate who played baseball there. There was a gentleman who you probably may know who he had been introduced because of his baseball. His name was Theodore Roosevelt. That became a president. At completion of his undergraduate studies, he then received a master's at Yale. He became Ambassador to Great Britain. And that was 1870, 1880-ish. When he presented his credentials, which an ambassador has to do, there's protocol. Protocol for a Chinese citizen was to kowtow, bow down, and literally show homage to the ruler. In this instance, Queen Victoria. He had been educated in the West and he knew that this was not a tradition. And he presented himself the way a Western person was. She was very touched by this. And he then became, soon thereafter, after becoming Ambassador to Great Britain, Sir Lin Chen. He was knighted, which is pretty amazing. And that was quite an honor. During the Roosevelt administration, he did become Ambassador to the United States. He had about five diplomatic posts. I know Belgium was one of them. I believe Columbia. I can't pull out the other one. And again, he had a lifetime appreciation and friendship with Teddy Roosevelt. And at some point, he disagreed with the ruling, the people that were ruling, which is how I have to read it down here. He had a following out with the Chinese government. And in protest, he went back to China and said, I have no longer to be an ambassador. I will now be just an ordinary citizen. And it was during this time that Guy remembers his grandfather. He had a wonderful, loving relationship with his mother. His father, it was quite difficult. His father had tremendous demands that he placed on his son, who was the oldest. And the oldest, there's a lot of expectations on that. Certainly for someone of his stature in Chinese society. And after his mother's passing in 1912, his father, excuse me, at the age of 12, I would be 24, he left the family, took some of the siblings, and went to Shanghai in southern China. Guy was still in Tsing and moved in with his uncle. His uncle was even harder on Guy to a degree where he felt that his uncle was jealous. Guy was a very good student. He was a very good athlete. He was liked by so many people. And his son, Guy's cousin, he felt that he was a threat to him. And he went and at many times he was punished with a stick. He had welts. And thankfully there was a wonderful woman that was a servant for his uncle who took him under his wing and would take care of the wounds and also would feed him. Many times he didn't get a chance to eat with the family. It was a difficult time, but he did very, very well in school. He just, he had this innate ability to laugh. And as you will see, there's been many times that that love definitely enabled him to live a wonderful and long and fulfilled life, fruitful life. It was, at some point he had, and he was very industrious, he had enough money and he bought a bike. And actually, I'm too soon, there it is. His uncle was jealous that he could not buy his son a bike so he took it from Guy and gave it to his cousin. He just said, yeah, this will pass. And around 18 things did change because he was also, he was playing a lot of tennis at the time and he was very, very good at it. He tried at some time around 18 years of age to become, he thought he was good enough to play and become part of the, what was the prestigious tennis tournament which was called the Davis Cup and he thought he could go and play in that. The coach said, you're not good enough. Well, he's out of high school now and he says, okay, I need to play. I really want to play in the Davis Cup tournament. He was friends with an army general who was, oh wait, and it was the National Party, the Quiniton Party, that was the ruler, that was Chen Gai-shek, was the head of that. He was the president that his grandfather, that went and said I can't be a diplomat anymore and disagree with your policies and under protest. So anyway, this army general had a rather vocational son and Guy knew about this and said, this isn't his industriousness that came through. He said to the army general, if you can fund me for six months, let me take your son to go to the Philippines and I will play tennis and I believe me, your son will come back a changed man. He spent six months, every tennis court he could get on, every player that he could play and his game just went to new levels. He did come back at six months, played the number two player, beat him handily, Guy is now the number two player and China is allowed two players to play on the, to represent China for the Davis Cup and the general was very grateful for it. He played in the Davis Cup, 35, I'm sure, but 36 was here in the United States. He played five matches total to the first year, 36, three in the second year, excuse me, 35 was two, 30, 60 played three. He did lose them all, but he did play a rather spirited match with the number one player from the United States. His name was Don Bunch. He lost 86, 62, 62 and all matches were our best of three five sets total. To play in the Davis Cup, to play at Wimbledon, to play at the US Open, French Open, you had to be an amateur, a professional amateur though. You had to reach a certain ability level and he certainly was there and he ended up playing 20 professional games as he was growing up. In the French Open, he lost in the first round in four sets. He did play at the US Open and this is in the 36 and he won the first match but then lost the second match against also Don Bunch. But the interesting thing is that he was really winning. He was up 2-6, 2-6, 2-5, 15-40, if that means anything to you, that means one more point and he will have beaten the number one player in the world. He looked up at the scoreboard and said, I don't stand a chance. And guess what? Don Bunch came back and won 8-6, so he won another point and then 6-4, 6-4. He played in the US Playcourt Championship and got to the third round in here. And then, oh actually that, I'm sorry, that was 1937 that he played that. And before the 37 tournament at the US Open, he played some preliminary, I'm sure it was back then, it was clay, excuse me, brass, played on a brass cork tournament and it was interesting. There was a recruiter from the University of Tulane in Louisiana that was there and saw him play and then he was at a gathering in the Hamptons in Long Island and the recruiter was there and said, I saw you play. Would you be interested in a full athletic scholarship to come to Tulane? Again, there were so many things that he did to go through adversity to understand that this too will pass and as it comes, I'll read it towards the end, he had a saying that was so apt. So he did agree to it. He played at the US Play, played at the championship and then was entered into the class of 41 for Tulane. His life at Tulane, he found out he was the only oriental on campus and he was accepted by really most of his students and the faculty and he did extremely well academically during his four year degree that he did get in business. And, oh I'm sorry, I was supposed to show you that, this is actually the picture that was taken of Guy before the program at the Davis College. Okay, so I've got to make sure I follow my numbers here. So now he's at Tulane and he is, this is in the yearbook, hard to see. He's in the middle and he went and was on the tennis team for four years and he played, he actually, his senior year, he was the doubles collegiate champion for the SEC, which is the Southeast Conference. Okay, Tulane is a school that belongs to that conference. They're really known as a football conference now, probably basketball too. But it's a, Southeast Conference is Alabama schools, Mississippi schools, Tennessee, Florida, they all have schools. This is the deep south and Guy is from China. He met some adversity, we'll say. When he did travel with his teammates to other schools, he had to sleep in different hotels. He had to eat different sections of a restaurant. He had to drink from different water funds and he needed to sit in the back of the bus. We call these Jim Crow Boss. Sometime, I think it was during his junior year his teammates said enough is enough and they went to the proprietor of the hotel and said if Guy cannot be with us we're not staying here and we will find a hotel for our teammate. He said that's fine, we'll let him stay. And from then on, he stayed with his teammates in whatever hotel it was in the deep south. I asked him, this was this was tough. This was what we read about in history. This was just rumination and he said, in my experience in the northeast of the United States I was accepted everywhere and I said, this will pass. And it's certainly what we've had quite a black market in our history when it came to this but we have a lot of books to take care of this and with a lot of work that work is still being done. And he also there's a photo when he was hiking somewhere and I have no idea but I just had this so I just wanted to throw this out. When he was at Tulane now one of the that the captains was Ernie Seidl and that was his senior year and he became very good friends with Ernie for the three years Cliff Sutter was also a very accomplished tennis player lived in the northeast. His brother visited him and they became Guy and Cliff became very good friends for many many years and Cliff was in the New York City area he was a member of the Forest Hills tennis club and the U.S. Open was held. At some point in the 60's or 70's it moved to Flushing Meadows which is where the U.S. Open is now which is also right next to where the Wolf's Fair was in 64 I believe 65 and somewhere in 85, 86, maybe 87 Mr. Cliff Sutter did invite Guy he had courtside seats if you sat in his seats you would see the player serving he was slightly off center and those were pretty good seats in the center court of the main stadium which is probably back in the Arthur Ashe stadium and so three four seats away maybe five was a gentleman named Don Bunch sitting there and he went and reintroduced himself and said oh I remember you I should have been beaten in the U.S. Open in the 37 U.S. Open I don't know how I came back that was one of the more difficult comebacks I remember I had. He did graduate as the captain of the Tulane Tennis Team in 1941 and the fall of 41 he continued his studies and graduated in 43 with an MBA from Tulane okay how did he end up in Vermont well Dina's students brought him in at some time there he is Dina's freshman sophomore junior year and said you know you really need to get a job somewhere and spend the summer and he's going oh I got a good job and he noticed a New York Times a New York Times has a huge section in there for job opportunities and he's looking and he's like what can I do I'm in a business curriculum but I really like tennis so I started looking for tennis instructor positions that might be there and guess what camp Abnachie was advertising that they gave him a camp tennis director well he said to the resume and within a week two weeks after he sent that an envelope came with a bus ticket and money to get some few things on the way up and said when you get to Burlington there will be this gentleman named Bob Attson that will be there and this is a picture of Mr. and Mrs. Attson Bob Attson and Dina he, I don't know how long he worked there but I know it went on for a few summers Bob was one of the camp counselors and had spent many a summer there growing up they became such dear friends well the connection to Chittenden County more specifically Shawad was Thomson's Point Thomson's Point is a town owned land with numerous camps that are owned the dwellings are owned by many families some here in the Burlington area but many throughout the country that do own these camps and the assets had a camp there and so he spent many summers there vacationing and enjoying the ambiance well at Thomson's Point they have a wonderful tennis facility they have a rec center with ping pong tables restrooms and things and it's very antiquated it's a very unique place here in the Chittenden County area probably all over the month that they have so many camps because there's hundreds there well there's also hundreds of kids running all over the place and he said he offered some tennis lessons and he offered tennis lessons in the 40s and 50s right up until the late 80s early 90s for all of these youth every Wednesday morning from 10 to 12 he offered tennis lessons and there's many many people that had the opportunity to develop a lifelong passion I was now he was in an untenable situation he had received a visa to go to school and now he had temporary visas to stay in the United States immigration was first and foremost on his consciousness on his mind and it seems that that is still the case today he had very very limited opportunities at becoming someone from China that could become a naturalized citizen in the United States which he deeply desired the problem was is that up until back a little bit up until 1941 there was a very very limited amount of Chinese citizens that could immigrate to the United States it was somewhere around 100 the demand was much greater prior to that from the 1860's onwards until the late 1800's early 1900's there was a tremendous demand for Chinese labor and that was primarily out of California and they built Chinese labor built the levees they built they had a lot to do with the railroads we all know about the connection of east and west and they had a tremendous amount well there was a backlash there was too many Chinese people that have come to the United States well in 1941 something was going on in December certainly for the United States and that was World War II it was at that point the Chinese had been fighting the Japanese somewhere around 37-38 and as a little side note I wish I had a picture of it but there was a cover that guy had in his office for years and years and decades of his brother that was his second his first brother who was trained by the U.S. Air Force it was a pilot and he's on a cover he ends up sending this letter to Life Magazine and stating wow it was such an honor to see my brother on the cover of Life Magazine unfortunately he didn't realize it but at that point it was shot down by the Japanese somewhere around the South China Sea so just a little side note there but the big thing was is that Chinese were allowed to now emigrate in the United States a last guy was not allowed to so he really came down to one last option that's called an act of Congress and I wish I had a picture of it I don't if you can all be careful with this please pass this around that's the actual act of Congress I did find some information that in May 10th of 1948 there was a full house and it entered this resolution it passed it then went to the Senate and it passed unanimously in the Senate and he then became is that April 24th May 24th May 24th he then became able to become a naturalized citizen of the United States the help of our senior Senator Flamper Senator Aiken cannot be undermined they did a tremendous amount of work to get him to become a naturalized citizen another side it's the act of Congress is rarely used to become a naturalized citizen the person before Guy was someone that he probably recognized and his name was Albert Einstein Guy was the next person after Albert Einstein to receive an act of Congress this was huge he had this weight was just totally lifted off his shoulders and he had a weight his youngest sibling a brother named Lot he made arrangements for Lot and his wife and this is a much later picture to be able to come and emigrate to the United States to come to the United States he had to do three things he had to put $10,000 and this is in I think I was around 1951-52 he needed to put $10,000 into escrow he needed to find housing and he needed to find him a job he put $10,000 into an escrow account he found an apartment for he and his wife and his sister-in-law Betty and he found him a job at the Burlington savings fair this job lasted through the 50s 60s, 70s, into the 80s and Lot ended up being a vice president I believe of commercial real estate and if anybody knows speak up very industrious like his brother his wife had a business a few miles from here, a couple of miles called Lady Shelbur a very successful business and they added a tremendous amount to Chittenden County also Guy is now living in Vermont and he hits another bump in the road he developed tuberculosis and he is bedridden and this is the third big challenge that Guy did not the inclusiveness of his father and uncle discrimination in the deep south and each time something good came out of this and that can't be undermined how this was able to terminate within his consciousness he said wow I don't like laying in bed all day and he started making jewelry and at the end of this what I would like to do is I've got some examples of some of his work I've had and some of the things that I've made that continue to make that he has a similar passion you can take it out take it out of the bag since you're so pleased I'm going to go each way this time this time we'll get actual work that he was working on and I'll talk about them and on this side is actually finished pieces of jewelry that he made and you can all look at it and make sure they end up in the bag thank you if you could so can you ask the character how he was going to draw at the end we'll talk about that correct this was the time to see some of his work the swirls of it it was an Egyptian swirl design and he became very proficient at it again the guy was very industrious he sent some examples to a company you might have heard of Tiffany & Company they walked and they said we'll take hundreds of thousands of them and he said we've got to make a lot of these and he sold them for many many years and I remember seeing and I wished I kept it and Tiffany always has in the New York Times it's page 3 top right corner in the advertising he went and there was an ad that was placed there of his swirl bracelets that was put in there sometime in the 50s he was healed and saying I really like this work and was looking for a place of business and this is where Shalon came in again Shalon had up until in 1988 six or seven one room school houses throughout Shalon one of them was on the border of the North Ferrisburg Shalon border right at the base of Mount Faolo on Rook's Center and it was a wonderful building he said this is it he put a closed bid on it and ended up procuring the property and he ended up expanding the old BFAR family owned the land to the east of him he ended up buying a lot of that he was able to put in an extra additions to the property along with at some point a tennis court and a swimming pool for my mom but that's getting out of things at some point I'm not sure exactly when it was sometime in the mid excuse me 50s he married his wife Jean and Jean had a daughter named Dawn who we loved very very much they were married for 10, 12 years and this was another challenge it was a very very difficult relationship and no matter how much he tried things didn't work out and he was it was very very difficult let's just put it that way so in 67 I believe they were divorced well we're getting into this is actually during his marriage with Jean his business is thriving he has a shop he's making jewelry and he has a many regional national artist with a lot of oriental themed gifts that he offered and then he had his office and right up above there is where the picture of life magazine was and I wish I could have found one many many mementos of things that he liked on the wall and one of them was the assets my sister their marriage here and oh actually what am I saying here is the picture I'm sorry I'm so blown up now I can see it if you can zero in on that it's right above and to his left is the picture of his brother I do see that now and that was in life magazine that's nice to see during this time when he had his studio which is right here and he had his gift business he had many people that he employed and I do have two that have decided to come listen to this this talk and I've even got a picture of you oh god ok and my daughter and my sister this was perfect I'm glad you came so you've got some memories here Guy just loved young people the work that he did in tennis he ended up coaching the cpu tennis team he was part of they called it the big games brought to the international games between Burma to Ontario Burma to Vermont he just he coached the UVM tennis team for a while he was very very active in the for youth and younger there were many many people that he did employ he loved them all these two he loved the most and have to say there's another one yes Nancy who is here but Chick would humble farm house girl from Chalot who's made it on the big stage now uh was employed by a guy she'd been recently divorced and there was a very very good friend of Guy's and his name was Bob Wood Sierra Woods Corporation originally of South Burma to now in Wollstone well they met and stowed on their way back from a buying trip and the rest is history they had a wonderful wonderful relationship in life and that's just one little sight goodness that came from all these people that Guy employed over the years his bench though I gotta mention this had just this wonderful expansive you can't see it but this window looked out over the Adirondacks and it was just so beautiful so peaceful for a guy and during this time he also continued to play a lot of tests he was a good friend many of the Burmintonians that were very good athletes too and then in around 59 a group of them started what became the Burminton Tennis Club or BTC and expanded his people that he played and it was just a wonderful opportunity to continue with his athletic prowess he was also again a really good athlete and he had really quick hands and I have to thank Molly King for this modeling okay and there's another image this is my mom here and Bob Lipp and Tyra yes thank you and then Guy was recruited to play with the Shalott Rockets Shalott Rockets many towns had skating links in the winter and Shalott certainly had one Bill Williams owned an Obrich store at the Web Family Mr. Moore of Chittendenbank I believe Mr. Burton was a relative of here they all were on this team and I've got some photos of Guy being the goal of the cars and the truck from the background there and this is a real wonderful photo of everybody I wish I knew everybody all these Shalott and some children residents Guy singlehandedly kept them in a lot of games well this rink became something that the we were called the Cisco Boys and that was myself, my older brother my brother Todd and we lived at the Shalott skating rink and we all brought our hockey sticks and hockey pucks and we just had a wonderful time my brother became a pretty good hockey player, Bert and actually Todd made the team as did I but Bert is the one that I'd prominently point out because he was on the hockey team from 66 to 69 and in 68 someone did some planning because my mom always went to Bert's games well Guy on the nose to him was invited to go to a games, no why not and it was because of Gene Dover whose son was also on the ZVU hockey team that they went well that just so happened, my mom was there and she got introduced to Guy everybody knew Guy and she was going oh what are you doing here and well the rest is history sparks were flowing all over the place I was in front of them and they were laughing and joking and little kids and I go oh my ears I can't take this anymore I went to the other side of the rink and I was still here that was it in the November or December of 68 and wow their relationship blossomed they dated until 1970 they would have gotten married soon but there was a Vermont I don't know how long it went on but between the divorce and becoming remarried in Vermont you had to wait a few years and sometime around the summer or late summer of 1970 they could get married I just I had this picture of that modeling ad that she sent myself that's a guy during a Christmas celebration somewhere I've knocked you over so on September 12, 1970 absolutely gorgeous beautiful day 100 people or so 75 people got together and celebrated the marriage of Guy and Barbara Chen it lasted over 30 years they were glued to hip they went everywhere they talked constantly they were constantly inviting people into their homes it was just so incredible Guy lived at Mom's house which was on Hill's Point which a lot from 1970 until 1984 when they sold and expanded their place on Route 7 and put in just an absolutely wonderful living arrangement with a wonderful master bedroom with a kitchenette this massive deck everywhere and it was full of terrariums and these beautiful flower boxes that my older brother made I'm going to take a step back Guy I said loved children boy he now had four children that he considered his own and I think he found out that he may have bitten off a little bit more than what he expected I don't think that we were that much of a challenge but from other people I heard the opposite there were times that things that were done that maybe shouldn't have been done and he was very, very good and still in though some life lessons that were very important so that was my older brother Bert, my brother Todd my sister Beth and we were all educated CVU CCS and CVU Guy also inherited moms siblings and mother and her mother was a World War I nurse just this wonderful loving woman who went to the Chihuahua congregational church every Sunday and from 1965 or so on lived with us as my mother started a career in higher education and ended up becoming an experimental psychologist and that was a degree that she received in 1970 but I'm getting a little bit ahead of myself it's Bob that's it actually my stepfather became my pop my mother, Barbara my sister, Beth and then I'm about to get into Aunt Genji who is Virginia Cocker who may have heard of her that was my mother's sister and that's what I'm getting into right now that's the wedding picture oh and this is the he took this off from and put on another jacket at some point but this was his Davis Cock Jack from 1936 now this is 1907 there's no way I could fit into something from that much time going by so he stayed very fit very much and the activities that he did certainly enabled him to keep his weight down they'll say but he just loved your daughter his mother loved and the siblings were it was Art and Betty Davis and we have a daughter Jill and a son in law Volcker there here he owned a Chevy and Cadillac dealership and Windsor something like that he had the second, third born my mother was second born was David Davis unfortunately he has too many wives to count he was down in Florida and had a hard time staying there with one mother let's put it that way but he was a criminal defense attorney and he also owned the largest limestone deposit in all of the southeast and that limestone built because it could be turned into cement could be turned built the interstate 95 and Disney World and next was Jenny as I said Virginia Carpenter and husband Mickey all four of Aunt Genji and Uncle Mickey's children made the United States Alpine ski team and they all participated in the Olympics one of them was Barbara Ann Maryland's second, first sibling she's the second born she won a gold medal at the Sepuro Olympics and then about two years ago this winter Barbara Ann's son Ryan won a silver medal at the Beijing Olympics in Super G and then the last one was Harriet Petropoulos and Mary Dino they were both cast and Harriet taught in the chemistry department at an area of Rochester High School for many, many years and her husband was a chemist at Eastman Kodak Uncle Dino and I'm sorry I did want to go through this this is Bob, Mary Lou and Aunt Genji toasty and this is a picture of the AdSit boys and the Cisco boys and sister and the last one this is now getting into some of the things that the Cisco children did and this is my sister's picture, a class picture in 69 and 70 she's at the very bottom and that's my little sister Beth and this is a picture of friends and Beth is at the top and that's something you may have heard of Ethel Atkins is that right about oh she's an icon for many, many years she ran the food services at Schalot Central School and there you go and this is grandparents day and this is Kelly Cisco, Tom's daughter and Grandpa at the Schalot elementary school so then and this is just a gathering which just happens all the time and mom they invited so many encourages to invite friends to come to the house and we'd sit around and we'd have the most heartwarming conversations just about the world and life and current events and things that were going on and this is a picture of my brother's house, Tom's house and Anne's excuse me and there's Bert, the oldest my sister Beth and then Tom, guy as I say loved us so much and I'm just so, so appreciative he actually gave us really four principles to live on and I've taken it to heart as to love life be honest hold yourself accountable our work never hurt anyone and care for your family, friends and your community and that was instilled at a very young age for us in the relationship that guy had with my mom anyway to jump forward this is something that was one of Guy's most proudest moments was my mother in 1973 received a graduate degree in experimental psychology a doctorate, a PhD I want to take a step back to go back to 65 she was in a master's program a master's in psychology and now it's time a year or so, two years later it's now time to to announce what degree she wants to get as a PhD and she said I want to be an experimental psychologist well she was told men are experimental psychologists you know she said why just men that's why it's always been this is not anymore she became the first woman from UVM to graduate with a PhD with an experimental psychology even though she had to write her dissertation three times the men had to do it once she pushed thank you mom the graduation she's receiving her doctor here I believe this is president Andrews that's presenting it with UVM at that time the word this is afterwards this, you got to focus on this this is your daughter this is his mother this is mom, I believe that's on Jinji and Guy and then picture of mom Betty um there's Betty chatting here Mom chatting here for the art and I'm trying to see others that I know that that's what I recognize but I'm glad I saw the picture of Eudora that's so dear to see her she was so proud of her daughter as we all were um at this point actually before this point we all called Guy and Pop and we all grew up on Hill's point we had our cousins come many many times we were on the lake we water skied we played football, soccer the Davises would come up the Protonpluses would come the family was so important to us all and Guy was if he wasn't at the center of it he was pretty close to it because he was so uh just so warmth of his heart how much he loved everybody he played crib-ish it's not crib-ish for hours and it was just so wonderful so he went and gave us this this structure to enable us to be able to go on and live and do the lives that we do myself I became very very much loved working in this metal in precious metals and I've had my own love affair with making jewelry and selling jewelry and talking to people about what their wishes might be and I love that very very much and I'm very very appreciative of that so much I'm just looking at the time here okay this is good so in 1984 the shop had had to move on Guy was retired now and he was actually working for me though because I had so much work it was wonderful he would work two or three days a week and help me greatly with my business that I had fixing things and doing things so I kind of gave back what he had given to me but they ended up moving to Shelton over here Greenbush Gardens excuse me, Gardenside Townhouses what was interesting is that I remember Mom sending a note to all her Shelton friends because there's a better thing between Shelton and Shelton there's a Shelton in Shelton in all these years but apparently there was this a little bit of back and forth about who was better she sent a note to all of her Shelton friends saying we're always going to be Shelters so please understand that we are not giving up our Shelton residency we're just becoming temporary Shelton fans I thought that was kind of neat when you know lived this life that was really based on love he had a simple saying that I alluded to earlier and that is don't, life is too short don't sweat the small stuff we have the capability of making small stuff big all of us do it he constantly was making big stuff small because it too will pass and it just was so important to him that he lived that way and so I was always constantly telling baby for some reason because I was making these big potters of things well life all kinds of opportunities and don't sweat the small stuff I would like to ask my brother Todd to give a reminisce about our Pop that meant something to him I've got some things from my brother Bert actually I'll just mention that my brother Bert right now then I'll get my sisters was a graduate student in master's program at the University of Vermont Education and he had a show where back then it was called Vermont ETB which is not Vermont Public and he had a taping where he was interviewing people that were continuing their education and at one time interviewed a guy and he said what is the biggest thing about how education always continues in your life and he said you know what it was he says in 1978 I married your mother Bert and I found out that my education continued and it continues to this day so I thought that was kind of neat if Todd could come up and a few little reminiscences thanks Dave thanks everyone for coming here I'm Todd David's brother in talking about Pop and stuff a few things what I want to correct something my wife's father was born in 1911 and David said it was 1912 but I want to correct him he was born in 1911 pretty soon and there were 13 years difference between my wife and her mother so I just want to correct that the other thing we always celebrated because we didn't know if it was within like a month or so of what he was born but we came up with somewhere around April 12th so we always celebrated his birthday on April 12th but didn't bring my glasses so hopefully I can read when mom and pop went back to China he was talking to me and said you know I haven't been back I don't have to speak the language and I said Pop it'll come back to you it'll be fine you won't have an issue so when Swinney got off the airplane he saw his family there and just like that he came back to the Chinese again so I was really happy for him when Pop first date of my mom I was away and my brother Burd I came back and he said what was it because I haven't met him yet he said what was he like and you remember the show Bonanza and there was a guy on the show and Pop said so my brother Burd comes in and he goes what was he like he goes just like Pop said very nice to meet you he says he's gone very nice to meet you he had the round glasses and the big pony tail down the back and of course my brother was doing the pranks at that time as he did and Pop was a very handsome prince he always went out of his way he would cook something bring something to someone and that was really really important to him with the connection of all and I think Chicky and Claire and I know my wife will attest to all of that the other thing he was really really good cook his colorated talents were exceptional and he would make egg rolls to this day and they would be able to attest to it they were excellent now my wife Ann went over and he would come up and stand up just stand up for a second come on this is my wife Ann and she I just want you to tell everyone about how you were when you went to a cooking session with them and the cooking session there was difficult because everything was measured a little bit of this and so Annie always had a hard time because she's a very good cook as well the black bean beef you remember the black bean beef and the teriyaki burgers and things like that he also was exceedingly generous to all of us siblings to his adopted family and his kindness he kind of closed within Pop and it really did and that was one of the nicest attributes he ever had was the kindness David exemplified it as his love for everyone so thank you very much everyone for coming and thank you brother David for what you did, I appreciate it I just want to mention like the youngest of the family she will always be the lady and that's my sister Beth our sister Beth and she wrote to me and said um I saw the goodness that came out of his heart because he gave me a gift he made me a little silver heart on a chain and gave it to me the first time I met him and yes my brother was he was difficult for us all let's just put it that way but he was the oldest he thought he was right and we all had this incredible relationship with this man and did show us how to love and to live and this is such an endearing picture this is that is at the garden side condo townhouse paper in hand next to his wood stove keeping warm with that beautiful warm smile and just saying yep life is good thank you all


In another development, the Sultan of Sokoto al-Hajj Mohamed Sa'ad Abu Bukka III has lamented the involvement of some fuller needs in banditry and kidnapping. Abu Bukka challenged Miati Allah Qatul Breeders Association of Nigeria-Macban to find a lasting solution to the issue, as it has been traced to the group. We have not the history of fuller movement from various parts of the world. Definitely, we will not have gone to the station we are in now. So, everybody knows fuller needs to move from point A to B. He moves in the bushes, he moves in the towns, he moves everywhere. He intermarries with, even with everybody. And we are disloyal. But how did we come to the station we are in now? We find our children who are fuller needs, not all of them are fuller needs, being in the position of banditry, kidnappings, and whatever. What happens? When we meet with the executive after this Surah-e-Sulman, we will discuss how do we really go into these issues. How do we resolve that? Because it's hard time we did. We cannot sit down and see this country going into fractures just because of certain things that were not done right. And I believe to whom much has given, to him much is desire.

Welcome to this presentation on the Welsh Government's consultation on the Regulations for Wales on the Liberty Protection Safeguards, or the LPS. There are two parts to this presentation. The first part shares the details of the consultation, the context, the timetable, the resources and the planned engagement. The second part will give you an introduction and key information on each of the four pieces of draft regulations for Wales. Context. The UK Government is bringing in a new law, the Mental Capacity Amendment Act 2019. The law will change the Mental Capacity Act 2005. This will mean that the deprivation of Liberty safeguards, the Dolls scheme will stop and will be replaced by the LPS. There will be a period of parallel running as those under existing Dolls arrangements transition to the LPS at appropriate times. For example, in line with their existing planned review arrangements or where there is a change in their circumstance which indicates a review is required. All new applicants will be considered under the LPS. The Liberty Protection Safeguards or the LPS. The LPS protects the rights and freedoms of people who lack mental capacity. Where someone's care, support or treatment amounts to a deprivation of Liberty and the cared for person lacks the mental capacity to agree to those arrangements, then the arrangements must be authorised. The LPS are there to protect Article 5 Human Rights, the right to Liberty. A person cannot be deprived of their Liberty without a procedure in place prescribed by law. As part of the LPS, for those people who lack mental capacity to consent to such deprivation arrangements, health boards or local authorities as responsible bodies will need to demonstrate those statutory procedures are properly discharged. There are a number of fundamental differences between the LPS and the current Dolls. The LPS will apply to adults and also to young people aged 16 and 17. The LPS will apply in hospitals and registered care settings and in many other places including people's own homes. A key point. The changes from the Dolls to the LPS will apply to England and Wales and be supported by a revised code of practice. However, Wales will have its own new laws about how to put the change into practice. It is these new laws, the draft regulations for Wales that have been published for consultation. How can you have your say on the LPS regulations for Wales? The Welsh Government is consulting on how to put the LPS draft regulations for Wales into practice. Separately, the UK Government is consulting on draft regulations for England and the draft code of practice for England and Wales. Stakeholders in Wales will therefore also need to respond to the UK Government consultation on the draft code of practice for England and Wales. The Welsh Government consultation timetable. The Welsh Government consultation launched on 17 March 2022 and will last for 16 weeks. The closing date for responses is 7 July 2022. The UK Government's consultation on draft regulations for England and the draft code of practice for England and Wales will also last for 16 weeks. And has the same closing date for responses which is 7 July 2022. Our LPS consultation can be found on the Welsh Government website here. Additional consultation resources. We've developed and published a range of additional materials to help people consider and respond to the proposals either as individuals or by coming together to consider these together. Plain English, Cymraeg, Clear versions. We have created plain English and Cymraeg, Clear versions of the following. A summary of the draft regulations, our plans for workforce and training and our plans for monitoring and reporting. Easy read versions. We have an easy read version of the draft regulations, an easy read overview of the Mental Capacity Act and the LPS and an easy read of the draft regulatory impact assessment. We also have an easy read response form. The plain English and Cymraeg, Clear versions are text only documents and provide a summary of the regulations, our plans for monitoring and reporting and plans for workforce and training. The easy read documents also provide images and pictures and descriptions to support people's understanding. Animations. We have also created a short animation which gives an easy to follow overview of what the LPS will mean to people in Wales. We have also created short films on each of the draft regulations for Wales. These can be found via a link on our main consultation page to our YouTube channel. The films are around two minutes long each and designed to be easily shared over social media. FAQs documents. We have developed a frequently asked questions document FAQs document and have published this on the LPS consultation web pages. We will be updating our FAQs document on a regular basis and sharing with stakeholders along with our new LPS newsletter for Wales. Consultation events. On the next few slides we have outlined the engagement sessions we will be carrying out over the consultation period. These include reconvening the LPS Implementation Steering Group for Wales and the LPS Subgroups Meetings, which focus on workforce and training, monitoring and reporting, the transition from the dolls to the LPS and the 16 and 17 year olds. We are also planning to meet with other stakeholders, people with lived experience and young people. Details of all these events will be sent out to you via our regular newsletter. If you have any questions regarding this presentation, please contact the Mental Health and Vulnerable Group's team mailbox. Thank you. Diolch.


Alright, you are still watching Waze now. For 75 years, United Nations peacekeepers have worked to save and change lives in the world's most fragile political and security situations since 1948. More than 2 million uniformed and civilian personnel have helped countries to transition from war to peace. Now, working alongside local communities, peacekeepers help advance political solutions, prevent conflict, protect citizens, strengthen human rights, and rule of law and build sustainable peace. So it's International Day of United Nations Peacekeepers. These guys are very, very important. They do a lot of work, you know, very, very quietly. Nobody knows, but they are progressing. I know so many people that have had to go take courses on conflict resolution and all of that, just, you know, quietly mitigating conflict. So these guys are very, you know, and we appreciate your work and we say that, you know, keep doing what you do. There's nothing like peace, absolutely nothing like peace. Alright, so let me come to you, Noma. What do you find for us in the news today? Alright, I guess the news world, there's no other news today than what is on ground at Tinibu Mix History as the first former governor, senator to be president. So the news has it that the newly sworn-in president of the Federal Republic of Nigeria became the first democratic, democratically elected president who formally had occupied the position of the senator and governor in Lagos State. And this is coming as really interesting because now he has lead history. He has occupied very significant positions in Nigeria. First of all, senator, when during the era before the military junta that he was forced to flee the country. And then when he returned in 1999 to Nigeria, he joined the Justice Forum political platform for the progressives, which made him become eventually prominent member in the AD Alliance for Democracy. And then he was supported by, you know, various significant groups like the DECO or Fenifera. And then eventually he emerged as the Lagos State governorship candidate under the Alliance for Democracy. And eventually now today we witness in history him becoming the first president who has occupied both the Senate as a senator and a governor of the state in the country. So we say congratulations to Bola-Ametinobu and they were looking forward to Nigeria making progress. All right, so in the spirit of discussing Tinobu, I'll just quickly take my story then I'll come to you, Diola. The president has said, President Bola-Ametinobu on Monday said that he would extend the courtesy worthy of a fellow compatriot to his opponents in the February 25th elections that brought him to power. He also argued that Nigeria has had as had not a better election than the recent one that that was just concluded. And my victory does not render me more Nigerian than the rest of you. It also does not render my opponents less Nigerian than me. I will treat my opponents Pita Obiyanatiku Abubakar as important compatriots. Tinobu said in his inaugural address again today at the EGOS where we're going to talk a lot more about Tinobu but you have other sad news for us today. Is that your story? I thought that was your story. No, okay. So I think this is also, well it sounds big as the inauguration of the president today. Full subsidy is gone. President Tinobu declares in inaugural speech. I mean the new president vowed to read Nigeria of terrorism and criminality but I mean part of the full subsidy you know going is he said the 2023 budget made no provision for full subsidy and more so subsidy payment is no longer justifiable. So I guess I mean this has been a long time coming and we've heard speculations about it in the last administration and then I mean for him I mean to announce this. I can't wait for us to dive into the conversation because already I was going to the mainland to be there was no queue nothing. I was coming back everywhere. Exactly. And some have argued that it's like the former president Muhammadu Buhari kind of like said booby traps with a lot of things he was you know either boring or lending or you know yeah whatever so that like there were just so many things that they were doing almost like in a hurry at the end of his few weeks in office and all of that so it's almost like a booby trap for incoming president that you're coming to come and face you know. Yeah I know Shatima, sorry the culture of Shatima, that's the vice president you know I heard something he said that I mean it's not like everything is going to be rising in the first couple of months of administration. Already you know it's almost like okay you know what Nigerians don't expect some magic because we're here for it all. We're here for it all. I'm here with popcorn. Wait a minute. So we'll take a break now right when we come back from that break I want to just delve into this new era the Tinibu Shatima era what we feel the challenges will be and some of the you know expectations that we'll be having. We'll see you after the break.


So my name is Danny Lee. I'm in cohort three. In my day job, I work as an investor. I run a private equity business out of Hong Kong. But I'm here to talk to you about my other passion, my other project, which has to do with education. The project is called, pretty straightforwardly, Life Achievement Through Investing. To give you a context of why I want to pursue this project, I want to give you a little bit of my own background, to tell the story a little bit better. So I was born and raised in China. I went to the US as a typical immigrant when I was in my teens. I went to high school and college in the US. And I had the privilege to go back and work in Asia for the last 20 years. And that really shaped kind of what I think about the world and how I think about what I want to do in the world going forward. When I think about my past 40-something years or so, I thought about three things that really drove the path that drove me here today. The first is education. I think the opportunity to have an education was hugely different in my life. That really brought me from a typical poor immigrant who had really nothing to where I am today. The second was knowledge, the understanding of the financial world. So my first job out of school was of finance, not because I love finance because I really was too poor. I needed the job to pay me. But I also realized there's a lot of rules in the world. They all have to do with finance. In some way, like Fred just said, the world in some ways is run on economics, run on money. And we need to understand that. We don't have to love it, but we need to understand it. I think that made a huge difference in where I am today as well. And lastly, I think it's luck. I don't think we think about that a lot, but a lot of us are here today because we're lucky. And not because we're smart or anything, we're OK. But a lot of it is because of luck, too. Luck drives a lot of what I am today. So how do I give back? The thing I think about today a lot more is how do I give back to society? How do I pay it forward? One of the things I see in Hong Kong, and I'm sure you see it around the world as well, is this huge wealth gap, this inequality. And this inequality is driven by a lack of knowledge, a lack of resources, and a lack of opportunities. And I want to change that. I want to do what I can to change that in Hong Kong. So what I'm doing is my program is basically teaching underprivileged high school students about investing, about the financial world, and giving them the opportunity and the resources. So basically three areas. The first is, like I said, education. I want to teach them about the rules of the game so they know how this world works, so they know how to make it work for themselves. Second is I also want to provide, like I said, resources. So not just teaching them about investing, but also giving them a scholarship, giving them the actual money to start investing so they can actually learn by doing. And if they make money doing these investments, they get to keep some of it. They feel like they have earned that kind of income for themselves and helps them families, help themselves. And then the last aspect of that is opportunities. We're trying to set up internships for these kids to go to work in major banks through the networks that I have. We want to make sure that these kids actually have an opportunity to take the knowledge and the things that they learn and go do things with it. Give them that extra piece of luck that I was so fortunate to enjoy. So that's the major goals of the project and I hope that going the long term that this will grow beyond me, it will grow beyond Hong Kong, that we can teach a lot more kids about what's going on in the world and so they can learn and they can work hard and work smart as well and to make money work for them and not just working for money. My final offer as a fellow here is that, like I said in my day job, I'm an investor so I'm happy to help anyone here who would like some advice on investing. I've been doing investing in China for the last 20 years and we have extensive investments in the US and Europe as well. We invest in companies like Magic League, like Aura's Robotics, like Innovative Networks out there. So for anyone who wants to learn more about China, some just maybe pure old good investment advice, you can reach me on the New Frontier app. My information is there. Thank you. Thank you.


Do you have knee pain when you lunge? Not anymore. I'm gonna walk through some common mistakes during the lunge and some quick and easy fixes that you can try that sometimes just make things magically get better. So there are four mistakes in the lunges. Tony's here to help me out. We're gonna walk through these mistakes. So first one, Tony, if you can give us a side view. Sometimes as people step forward into the lunge, they catch themselves with their toe a lot. So much so that the heel comes up off the ground. And Tony, if you could show us that knee pushing forward to really long step, these are all very common, really short step even. You just, you lose the balance of the pressure of the heel in the foot. It's kind of like you're doing your lunge on stilts rather than a full leg with a nice flat foot. So all I think about on this, Tony, is when you're stepping forward, just make sure that you, I might even land with the heel first and really exaggerate that stomp and see if you can get good heel pressure on that one. Yeah, I like that good. That's pretty good. So you came forward a little bit on that one. Just stay back on the heel. Yeah, that's better. Nice, and you can rest. So this one can be kind of hard, especially if your ankle is stiff. So if you need something like that, I just like the cue looseness in the ankle when I contact that heel in the ground. So that's our first mistake. Our second mistake is gonna be, Tony, if you could give us a front view here. We are looking for knee alignment where the hip, the knee, and the ankle are all in a straight line. And when, if you lunge forward and the knee comes inward, you're increasing the amount of shear stress that goes through the knee. And you're kind of shutting off the glutes. So if you've ever gone to physical therapy and they said your glutes were weak, this is kind of what they're talking about. So Tony, actually take a step back and then we're gonna do the same thing, but just show me, not too hard, but show me that knee collapsing inward as you step forward. There you go. And what you'll notice if you watch it from the side is he kind of loses this heel pressure, the heel kind of tilts in when he does that. So what I like to cue on this one first, let's do a split squat real quick. So one foot forward, one foot back. And I just like to make sure that this static version of the lunge can be done correctly because the dynamic nature of the forward lunge is a lot tougher to actually get the timing right. So Tony, just come on down. Show me the mistake where your knee comes inward too much. So if it looks like this, I'm gonna say, Tony, let's just hold at the bottom for a quick sec, push that knee out into my hand and make sure that heel stays down. Yes, just like that. And now come back up. Now hit that again on another rep. So if you can do it on the split squat pretty reliably now, Tony, let's try it on the forward lunge. Yeah. Yeah. That's wonderful. And so that's, I like to break it up that way. Definitely start with the split squat when you're cueing something like that. You don't wanna make it too complicated. All right, that's our second mistake. Now our third mistake is a lot of times people will overload the trailing leg.  Yeah, something like that, something like that. So if you're set up this way, you can rest. I don't wanna do that to you too much. You don't have the torso relationship that unlocks the mobility of the hips. So we've got to get that first.  So the first thing, Tony, that I like to do on this one is put your hands on your belly, exhale, bring your belly back, just a little bit. And sometimes I'll say a little bit of a slouch, especially if the chest is really sticking out. So hold on to this position. You should actually feel your abs a little bit better as you do your lunge. Now try a lunge from there. And that's wonderful. Now, sometimes if you feel like you're still loading the back leg too much and when you lunge out you don't get at least 80% of your weight on the front leg, then just lean forward a little bit as you lunge, can you show me a little bit of that? Yeah, even that much is kind of okay. He's got a little bit of a bend in his back so I might not cue that for him because he was already doing it well. The other thing that I wanted to show, so sometimes people will overload that back leg in their driving back up.  You wanna really try to emphasize the push through the ground there and make sure that you're not cheating your shoulders back. Can you show me that? Yeah, that's actually really good. I don't mean to be so surprised.   So as people, and this is what Tony was doing a little bit earlier when we were doing the lean back thing, as I cued him to lean forward, he rounded as he stepped forward and then he moved his back a lot on the way up. All this means is it's less about the leaning of the torso and the, like I said, using your momentum, your mass to kinda pull yourself up. And it's more just about unloading the hips throughout the entire movement, which we don't want. We want to load the hips, we wanna load the glutes and that will unlock the quads to do most of the movement. So can you show me like a pretty big collapse, maybe even a heel rise as you lunge out and then totally lose your hip tuck on the way up? Yes, yes. Now Tony's pretty good at lunges so this looks a little artificial, but this is the idea, right? And it's more on the forward lunge, it's definitely more obvious when you step forward and you get that round.  I'm almost not tall enough to touch the top of your head, isn't that weird? And stay tall as you lunge out now. Yeah, that looks good. Do one more. Yeah, that's pretty good. As you step out, one more, try to keep your elbows up a little higher. Yeah, yeah, I like that a lot more.  So as we drive the elbows forward, that turns on the serratus anterior, pulls the rib cage back and the abs have more leverage to turn on now. Sometimes, despite your best efforts coaching and nailing all the points that Lance talked about, it can still be too much load through the front leg and that could be uncomfortable in some individuals. There's one simple, easy tweak that you can make that can reduce the load through the front leg, still allowing you to get the gains from your lunge but in a more comfortable manner. And that folks is elevating the front leg. So I may have Tony stand at just exactly how he did when he was performing the forward lunge but this time we're raising the ground up like we're Josh Groban. So what I'm gonna do here is I want Tony to go ahead and step forward onto the box, same four cues that we're doing with Lance and then back just like that. I'm gonna watch a few things that way. Looks pretty good. So what you'll notice is when Tony is doing this, he's getting a lot of rounding through the lumbar spine. Now a lot of times what will happen in that case is when you see that they're shoving their center of mass forward, that's putting a lot of load through the front leg. Well, that was the uncomfortable portion. So how can we minimize that compensation? I'm glad you asked. I might just simply make this move just a little bit more hingey as he steps forward.   Keep that slight hinge, do the same step forward. So when we do this, we can minimize, you'll see he's a little crunchy still. Hold on, I'm gonna have you nice and slow. Hips back, step slowly forward, down.  So some of this is a bit of a depth issue with Tony as he gets lower and it may not be that he has adequate hip motion to be able to get as low as we need him in this particular version. Go ahead. A little slower on the lower, look straight ahead. So if you notice a lot of rounding, what you're gonna do is I want the knees to be unlocked.  Give me a nice exhale there. And I want you to just barely dip down on this Tony. So you're gonna go ahead and step forward. So you'll see right there, he is immediately bending forward. We got a couple options here. One, I could have him just go ahead and do the step forward and hold position just to see if that gives him a little bit more range of motion.  Go ahead and step forward, drop down, like right there. And so I'm gonna have Tony just hold this for a little bit. Maybe you have him do like a five count hold, silent in and out through the nose. Thanks for watching.

If you feel like you've mastered your lunge, but it still doesn't feel quite right, maybe you still have some knee pain lingering around. Well, I enlisted my buddy Zach Couples to make this video up here.  Sometimes your brain knows what to do, but it can't access it. It just can't find it. If you fall into that bucket, definitely watch Zach's video because I think some of those are gonna be eye opening or knee opening.


Hey folks quick video here. I'm sure that we'll talk more about this next week But I wanted to comment on the news that went down yesterday. We basically saw Joe Biden's administration implode before sending out the $1,400 survival checks, which as you'll remember was supposed to be $2,000 But I'm gonna share two tweets with you and two articles that I think summarized the situation well Anna Kasparian says today Biden approved an airstrike in Syria and the Senate parliamentarian shot down federal minimum wage hike through reconciliation Dems can overrule her but Biden doesn't want to Dems will lose everything in the midterms and possibly the next general and they'll deserve it This is precisely correct He bombed Syria before sending out survival checks and On top of that they are pretending as if their hands are tied because of Procedures in the Senate and now they're saying well, you know what the parliamentarian She said that we can't pass this using reconciliation. So I don't know what to do Looks like we can't pass it They don't want to pass it They're using this as an excuse as we're going to learn the vice president Kamala Harris can easily Overribe the Senate parliamentarian. So this is not an issue at all Nobody heard about the Senate parliamentarian while Donald Trump was in power But it's because Democrats don't want to actually take action and give millions of workers a raise And they're using this as they're you know, um, their excuse Kalkulinski says Biden's bombing of Syria is both unconstitutional and illegal under international law You see it was illegal and unconstitutional When Donald Trump bombed Syria and it is still illegal and unconstitutional When Joe Biden bombed Syria, guess what if you want to do an act of war? You have to actually ask for Congress's approval, which Joe Biden did not do He did not do that Also, this is illegal under international law Nothing changes does it now on the issue related to the Senate parliamentarian I think that this article from the Daily Poster Andrew Perez and David Serota titled secret memo shows how Harris must now advance minimum wage hike kind of details here that They have a path and they're not going to be able to get the Senate parliamentarians approval Okay, move on move on you can override this Senate parliamentarian. Nobody cares about this unelected ghoul Okay On Thursday a key Senate official advised Democratic lawmakers that the chamber's rules did not allow them to include a minimum wage increase in President Joe Biden's first COVID-19 relief legislation The ruling from the parliamentarian means that Vice President Kamala Harris could decide the fate of one of the Democratic Party's most Significant campaign promises, but it remains unclear what she will end up doing as the presiding officer of the Senate Harris Who has long touted her support for a $15 minimum wage can now use the power her predecessors have used to ignore the advisory opinion? quote Advisory opinion that's key here because that is who the Senate parliamentarian is and fulfill Biden's campaign promise to boost the wage a Confidential memo obtained by the Daily Poster now circulating on Capitol Hill spells out exactly how that could be accomplished However, White House Chief of Staff Ron Klain this week declared that Harris will refuse to use that power because they don't want to a Decision that would effectively put the Biden-Harris administration in the position of potentially killing the protect killing the prospect Excuse me of minimum wage legislation for the foreseeable future immediately after the parliamentarian's ruling the White House issued a statement reiterating Klain's comment declaring that Biden respects the parliamentarians decision Well, our hands are tied folks the parliamentarian spoke this unelected individual who actually has no institutional power Just serves as an advisory role that we can easily override The parliament the parliamentarian spoke so it's over. I mean is this a joke? I feel like we're being pranked right now like this incompetence is astounding But I shouldn't say incompetence because it isn't incompetence They're pretending as if they can't do anything and they can't overcome procedure They just don't want to that's that's the issue Some congressional Democrats have already began arguing that the Biden administration's refusal to overrule the parliamentarian would be Immoral and a political disaster for their party Yeah, it's been 12 years since we've raised the minimum wage And if we're going to make those promises we have to be able to deliver on them Democratic representative Pramila Jaipal said Wednesday on MSNBC because I'll tell you what in two years when people vote in the midterms You're not gonna be able to say well. I'm sorry We couldn't raise the minimum wage because the parliamentarian ruled that we couldn't do it. That's not gonna fly Exactly, if you do not get results, you will get Obliterated now moving on to Syria. This is an article from Forbes Biden launches airstrike against Iran backed militia in Syria So not only is he illegally bombing Syria He's escalating with Iran when he should be getting us back into the Iran nuclear agreement See Iran actually reached out when he was elected Giving him a window and an invitation to basically rejoin the JCPOA even though the United States is the ones That decided to unilaterally withdraw from it So you'd think that Iran wouldn't want to come back to the table But they were reasonable enough to say, you know what we understand you had a crazy president who withdrew So we're gonna let you get back in. Biden has basically given them the cold shoulder and now he's escalating with them so the Pentagon conducted airstrikes against Iran linked and Militias in Syria on Thursday and one of the first known military actions ordered by President Biden days after militias launched Rockets at US forces in Iraq as tensions between Iran and the United States continue to simmer Yeah, this is basically we're seeing proxy warfare with Iran now Unbelievable the airstrikes destroyed several structures used by Iran backed Shia militias Operating on the border between Syria and Iraq Pentagon Press Secretary John Kirby announced in a statement Thursday evening The news was first reported by Reuters Kirby cast the strikes as a defensive move following several rocket attacks on American facilities in the Iraqi cities of Baghdad and Urbil this month. Hey quick question. Why are we still in Iraq again? Why are we still there? US officials told multiple news outlets the airstrikes were meant to deter future attacks without seriously escalating tensions in Iraq and Syria hilarious the White House vowed Tuesday that the groups responsible for those rocket attacks Believe the Shia militias underwritten by Iran will be held fully to account. I just love this line right here They're basically saying listen. We had to do an act of war To de-escalate Argument that they're using it's laughable. It's absolutely laughable. No, I'm not seeing any details on the deaths here But from what I've read there were 17 individuals who were killed in this strike I'm not seeing that in this article and we're not gonna read the whole thing because this is supposed to be quick But um, I don't know what else to say. I don't know what else to say. I think that this tweet right here It says everything I Mean Joe Biden he decided that it was more important To bomb Syria than to get you The checks that he said would go out immediately and remember these checks originally were $2,000 but now they're $1,400.  I mean, they are just like asking for a bloodbath They're asking for a bloodbath like Democrats are corrupt and incompetent But there is like a bare minimum level of things that they have to do to at least ensure their survival electorally speaking, but it's like they're trying to do Everything in their power to lose the midterm is a midterms elections midterm elections. Sorry And it's just they will deserve it. They deserve it Because they're not doing anything They're not doing anything.  If you don't want that to happen and you're an elected member of Congress if you're a member of the squad You know, if you are in the Senate and you're progressive and marquee you said you were progressive, right?


Good morning, John. I just sent a Twitter survey out to my followers, asking them some of their thoughts on starting a business. 15% of those over 18 said that they'd already started a business, 55% said they had considered starting one. Only 11% said that they weren't at all interested in starting their own business. But while I think there's a strong entrepreneurial attitude among young people right now, the rate at which we in America are starting small businesses and young people in particular is dropping fast. And the easy thing to do is to put this on young people themselves. We aren't interested or we crave the stability of a normal job or we fear failure. And indeed, social anxiety, uncertainty, and fear of failure all showed up high up in my survey. And starting a business isn't for the faint of heart. You have to take risks, you have to jump into stuff that you don't understand or know very well, you have to do stuff you don't want to do, you have to hire people and you have to fire people.  I'd say this as a person who owns businesses. Like, there's parts that are not super fun. And I think people know that. But this very clearly isn't just about people making different choices. As schools have fought to attract students, the cost of education has skyrocketed. And thus, so has the burden of student debt. And that debt pushes people toward making safer decisions and maybe toward fearing failure more. In exactly the same way, the skyrocketing costs of healthcare in America have made people make safer decisions. When asked what their number one reason for not starting a business was, about half of people said that that was a personal choice and about half of people said it was something structural. And the biggest structural one, of course, is just access to capital. And the money things have gotten kind of weird lately. A lot more money is coming from venture capitalists who are just like super rich people who basically want their money to come back ten times, so they mostly invest in tech, where there's a lot of opportunity for huge growth. Businesses that probably have a safer path to a smaller market get ignored. And banks are kind of focusing less and less on the thing that they're supposed to be doing, which is to help people create new value in the world. Community banks now make up just 13% of the banking sector, but they still make 43% of the small business loans. As starting a business gets more complicated, people who have money might see it as simpler and probably a better use of their time to just invest that money in the stock market. Meaning in big, gigantic, entrenched companies rather than in their own small businesses. And that's especially true if you have a lot of money, and more and more of the money is in the hands of people who have a lot of it. If you have a ton of money, starting a small business is like an inconsequential investment in exchange for a whole lot of work. And then the massive amount of money pumped into the stock market pushes these gigantic businesses to grow or die. And that results in these massive behemoths taking over not just old markets, but new markets, the way that Amazon and Netflix have done. Meanwhile, in the middle class, wealth has actually decreased. So the people who really want to work their butts off to make a new thing happen might not have access to the money to do that. The final reason I'm going to talk about why young people might not be starting businesses is because I think they are. This is Generation 1099. Side hustling contractors, people making it work with a combination of their podcast, their Etsy store, their postmates, and their day job. Every one of those side hustles is basically a sole proprietorship. If you count that way, this generation is starting up businesses like never before. But the path to hiring that second person when all competitive supply chains are global and when employment regulations and business taxes are mountains of red tape, it's unclear if it's there at all and if it is, it might just be uninteresting. This isn't a simple story. People much smarter than me are doing much better research than I have done to look at this. But I want more people instead of fewer people to know the joy of starting your own thing, of giving somebody else a job, of putting a team together to create value where there was no value before. If you've got thoughts on this or advice on this or just want to tell us what you would do if you had access to the capital you need to do it, I'm really looking forward to the comments on this video. I'll be checking them out all weekend. John, I'll see you on Tuesday.


Good afternoon. Thank you Okay, we're gonna start early. So we're gonna be talking about bridge to housing and it would be unfair to start it by having it be about me because it really wasn't and to follow on the theme about being ready for innovation and Building on common themes It really takes pretty much a region to move a village. So I Can really only thank all of our partners and to say that I am actually also humbled to be able to present on their behalf Many of whom are much more eloquent than I so The issues surrounding homelessness are tough, right? standard ways haven't always proven to be a good solution for many and Encampments aren't a special issue and that's not just in Yolo. That's a national issue When the riverfront property in West Sacramento was sold to new owners They presented the city and its police department with the daunting task of trying to address the existing encampment The police chief turned to partners and challenged us. What else could we try besides traditional policing? If we can go back to the other slide So if you've gone out to the river before bridge to housing, this is what you would have seen a makeshift tent community trash no drinking water no sanitation And if you were lucky you would have met Steve. He's right up there in the top middle and He could have shown you around and he had been homeless for 17 years and the last eight of them He had spent on the riverbank now. He would tell you back in the day that he was never ever going to leave the riverbank again no matter what So what was our solution to this issue? Well, it was housing first and housing first is a different approach and it's a different approach to solving homelessness through Traditional permanent housing and Yolo's joined many other jurisdictions including the state of Utah and Houston and San Francisco Urban rural liberal and conservative in trying something new But in this we decided to create a time and population limited pilot So that we could test housing first But we could also use the lessons learned in creating new ways to address homelessness in our region But I have to tell you that to move an entire encampment of long-term homeless is a lot more than standard housing first It would take something bold. It would take something innovative And it would take a huge leap of faith by all of the partners and their respective political bodies But of course Yolo So what made it bold and innovative well There were many innovations and lots of them we're not going to go into today including the north levee cleanup and moving day Today we're just going to highlight three of them And the first one was being able to use housing vouchers to provide housing for encampment residents And to do that we were able to look at the entire universe of rules in a very complex program and create a brand new path Which had never existed before that would allow us to work with encampment residents the second thing we did was to Address an entire encampment. This is the first time that we know of Where an entire encampment has been moved and when we did that we didn't cherry pick the easy to house We didn't cherry pick those with services instead. We rolled enrolled everyone who signed up and Unlike most programs as you can see we took their dogs and their cats And the third part is we created boot camp for housing now They average length of homelessness on the river was over four years and some had been on the river for over 20 So they are the most difficult to serve. They don't have income. They don't have identification They have suffered major trauma in their lives Many have substance abuse issues and boot camp which you can see right here Gave them an opportunity to work on social reintegration and harm reduction And they got to relearn what you and I take for granted every day Stay inside Change your sheets and towels Use a cell phone Work with a property manager and not just a social worker And so What did we get for outcomes? And so if you can see this is our bridge to housing 71 Surveys 65 entered the program 53 graduated Of that 23 had no health or substance abuse issue and everybody else did 49 of them were co-occurring 75 of them were between the ages of 25 and 54 and there was a pretty good gender split between male and female And oh, yeah all those pets So what do we get at the very end? You can see in the second chart cal fresh pre-enrollment was 47 percent 81 percent post Health insurance was 47 percent pre to 89 percent post and the income of whopping 11 percent of those folks had income And 40 percent at this point have it now But most telling zero percent had any kind of housing opportunity or vouchers opposed to 92 percent post program And as the time of this 47 percent of them are now permanently housed and I understand as of today that two more have found housing and that's it Thank you so much These outcomes are uncommon if you don't track this kind of challenge I think that this project is is and will attract national attention And it's something that that is Possibly a breakthrough


Hi there, welcome back to my YouTube channel. This is Daniel Rosal here here with another OBS tutorial for Ubuntu Linux And this is going to be adding a border now I've watched a couple of these YouTube videos on the ways to do that There are definitely different ways some of them use these like nice cloud tools for adding annotations. Personally, I tend to prefer to Use what I have in my desktop already Particularly stuff like GIMP that's actually reasonably powerful So that's what I'm going to be using today is the GIMP photo editor in order to do this now Make note of what you are working with firstly So it's a 1920 by 1080 resolution that I've set here and that is the stated resolution of this webcam the Logitech 930e. I don't know what these higher resolutions that OBS detects are but I'm not gonna I'm not going to experiment with them So I'm doing 1920 by 1080 and I have to also use one of these other three Formats don't ask me why and that is but if you use the default Why you why V the motion is all Screwed up. So go for one of those formats now There's one thing about GIMP that doesn't work so well, and I'm gonna have to explain that in a second Let me just jump over in there So here's this thing was creating these border these Using this method in GIMP to set up your borders That is that so the default I've talked a bit before about how you know, you might want to set up the default GIMP canvas size to 1920 by 1080 in ordered and transparent background, right and There is you know, the normal method for creating a border the quick method in GIMP is to Add a border. So but the problem about this really is look at what goes on if I do add a border and add 4040 pixels Border around the size right the round the side 1920 by 1080, but you can see we've jumped up to We've added 80 pixels. It's now 2000 by 1160 which is adding 80 to the x-axis and 80 to the y-axis So you're just gonna undo that now. I haven't played around with these other Methods for adding borders now, perhaps there's some something you can do that will preserve the the size But another thing you could just do is do the mathematics. So basically just substitute 80 And you'll let's just say if you want to do 20 so and just remember you're multiplying by two. So if you want to do a 20 pixel border A 20 pixel border that's going to add 40 pixels on each dimension So I'm going to go ahead and create a new border a new image size But this time I'm going to go for that's going to be 1880. That's 40 pixels On width and I'm going to go for a 40 short here. So that's 1040 and Now if we add a border of 20 All around See now we're back to 1280 by 1080. We were 1880 by 1040 and now we're getting the right size So that's a little bit hacky for sure You know, perhaps there's a better way But this this will work if you just want to do it sort of just do the mathematics Subtract your border size and use these this kind of border it gives you so I'm just going to add one more thing Which is going to be a Just my name and I'm going to put that in You know white to make it look more like a signature in a kind of signature ish script I Don't know let's just say this was was for streaming And you're having like you and a guest you wanted to like put a little border Around your webcam and that's going to be contained. So the idea here is that the webcam is going to be 1920 by 1080 or scaled against that size and It's going to fit here and then all this stuff's going to fit round including your names. I'm just going to merge that down And what I'm going to do now is to export this as a pn as a png and call this You know just webcam border or something like that Okay, so I'm in in Gimp now and what I need to do is click on add source add image And then I just need to add that image file as the and as the border overlay and then that should work. Hopefully okay, so here's our overlay in Gimp and We can just add it now and the good news is this is what you need to see right? It's filling up the whole Canvas which is 1920 by 1080 and therefore if I bring it down against me You can see that I'm getting that border now There is one thing to point out here, which is that if I go ahead if I crop and I've shown this in another video If I crop the webcam Unless I do so According to scale it's going to mess things up So I can crop like 500 pixels out of my left and now that border is not going to fit that webcam so that's just one limitation that either you're going to be doing the mathematics to Manually make sure that the cropping is going to be preserving The scale ratio. Let's just do 30 30 30 and 30 And if I'm not mistaken that should be okay, and I would just need to basically drag myself up here And you can see so that's just sort of something to be aware of if you're using this methodology that If you're you're not if you change out of the scale ratio, you won't be able to It won't work as you hadn't tended it to but we should be good now And what I want to do is just drag these guys so that they overlap which is just so I have it like I was intending to and You can see that looks sort of what I was going for There's like a border around my webcam feed and my names at the bottom now Let's say I wanted to have this up against a screen So what I would do here is I'm going to add these two And I always just recommend being as descriptive as possible. So they should I'm going to call this actually webcam border overlay so I can see exactly what is what and I would be adding these two That the webcam and the border to a group and call that group webcam with border Now what I would do is add Unless you say I want to do a screen screen broadcast broadcast and I'm going to use my remaining screen this screen And now what I can do is push the webcam with border overlay here and I can move the group down and it's going to be moving me the webcam and it's going to be moving the the it's going to be moving the border along with the two so you could have you know a Interview where you're bringing in somebody a guest using zoom or using you know Google meets and have them here and you know create a border for them and a border for you or an animated border for you as well as a screencast and then you could just Push that up to full screen here. So if it's a screen and the border should be traveling with the webcam That it's supposed to be a border animation for so that is it guys pretty useful Thing I think to know how to do I'm sure there's other ways But if you want to use the built-in tools on Linux and just use gimp for the process of creating a border for a webcam feed Then this is one way that you can use to do it
