There are two ways of adding documents, such as presentations or word processed files, to your Moodle course. One way is by simply dragging them and dropping them straight onto your course page. We'll look at that here. The second way is by using Moodle's ActivityChooser and FilePicker, and we'll look at that in the next video. Both ways need the editing to be turned on, either by clicking the Turn Editing on button, or by scrolling down on the Administration block, clicking the Turn Editing on link. Then, if your browser shows you a message saying that you can drag and drop files, this means that you are able to use this drag and drop method. If you don't see that, then ask your administrator about your browser and the Moodle admin settings to see if it's possible for you or not. Over on the right here, I have a presentation of lecture notes, and in order to add it to my course, because my browser allows me to drag and drop, I simply need to choose a section where I want it. So, for example, I would like the lecture notes in the Reading section, so I place the cursor on the presentation, click onto it, hold it, and simply drag it to where I want. The dotted box will appear, and then when I let go, it will automatically be uploaded. If I made a mistake, remember we can simply use the Move icon to move it into a different section.


In the wide receiver position Kiki Kute of Houston might be a good option. Why do you love? So in his first game action much like Ronald Jones Kiki was absolutely awesome, and he's not a no-name prospect either He was a fourth round draft pick for the Texans with a little bit of hype around him playing for Texas Tech last year Will Fuller gets hurt, and then you also have Bruce Ellington get hurt. Who's the next person up? It's Kiki Kute and all he did was have 11 receptions for over a hundred yards and I don't want to say it's sustainable, but It kind of seems like it may be. He's not gonna repeat double-digit receptions and over a hundred yards every single week Obviously, but when you look at this offense another offense that cannot run the ball It's gonna be a lot of Deshaun Watson and who's he going to throw it to with Will Fuller and Bruce Ellington out Well, De'Audrey Hawkins sure, but also Kiki Kute. The slot is a place of massive fantasy value We've seen it with Calvin Ridley. We've seen it with Adam Thielen and make maybe Kiki Kute is not in that class But it's a lot easier to find find room to work with when you're playing out of the slot rather than outside Let's De'Audrey Hawkins do the work outside. Let Kute do it inside I think he's a great wide receiver pick up this week. Use some money on the waiver wire I'm really interested in seeing what Kute can be He netted over 16 fantasy points on fan duel in week four and as you see this use in Texans offense Start to gel some more you see Deshaun Watson feeling more comfortable. You have to feel good about Kiki Kute


The long-awaited Samsung Galaxy S8 has arrived at Appalachian Wireless. Get yours for the introductory price of just $149.99 with a two-year service agreement. Better service, bigger savings. That's today's Appalachian Wireless, an East Kentucky network company. Canoe and kayak enthusiasts are waiting on warm weather and good conditions on area streams and rivers for their first float of the season. And boat owners are busy servicing their engines and making sure they are also ready to hit the water. And officials with the Army Corps of Engineers say that involves a little extra work. A boat with a motor, a gasoline or electric motor has to be registered, has to have numbers displayed on the boat. Every person on board has to have a personal floatation device and it needs to be one that fits them and they go by weight. But Holbrook says the heavy rain that we've experienced this spring has created water hazards in fish trap lake in the form of trees and other debris. We were recently 37 feet above summer pool on the lake so we still got a lot of debris on the lake, a lot of trees that we haven't gotten off yet. We're working it but it takes a while to get that cleared off so I would definitely caution people to watch out for those things that are floating on the lake or maybe floating just below the surface. Because the entire region has had issues with high water this spring, all area lakes are battling extra debris and it's not the man-made garbage you need to watch out for. About 95% of the debris that is on the lake is naturally occurring material in its trees. So if you're planning on hitting the water this Memorial Day weekend, remember that little twig sticking up out of the water could be attached to something much bigger. Reporting from Fish Trap Lake in Pike County, I'm Shannon Deskins for EKB News.


Welcome back to Classic Replay. In this episode we'll be taking a peek into the world of the renowned Apple II, the computer that helped to revolutionise personal computing in the 1980s. The Apple II helped pave the way for contemporary computing as we know it, with its sleek form, innovative features and diverse variety of applications. The Apple II has made an unmistakable influence on the history of technology. From iconic games like the Oregon Trail and Prince of Persia to the pioneering applications like Vizicalc and Apple Works. The Apple II has made an everlasting effect on technological history. In this video we'll look at all the numerous marvels of this legendary system. I'm talking iconic gaming software. Now for something different. Let me tell you a tale about a game so grand. It left us all spellbound in a magical land. The Bard's Tale was its name on the Apple II computer. A game that brought adventure with each step and each figure. With a lute in his hand and a song on his lips the Bard set forth on his epic trips. Through dungeons and forest he roamed free. With each quest his legend grew for all to see. Oh let me tell you about a game so fine. A classic one from another time. It's called Bruce Lee on Apple II and I'm gonna rhyme it up for you. The games and martial arts masterpiece. Filled with kicks punches and fierce beast. You take control of the man himself and battle foes with speed and stealth. The games are classic in every sense. Filled with action puzzles and suspense. You take on the role of the Dark Knight and fight against evil with all your might. The graphics may be old and lo-fi but the gameplay still makes you feel alive. It's a classic game that will always endure. A masterpiece that will forever be pure. The graphics may be old and pixelated but the gameplay is still highly rated. As you make your way through each location you must fight enemy foes and overcome frustration. The games and martial arts delight with moves that will keep you up all night. You play as a hero on a mission to rescue a princess from her prison. Let me take you back to the 80s when games were simple but oh so weighty. Ultima 1 on Apple II a game that set the standards anew. You create a character of your own and explore the world so vast and unknown. Ultima 1 may be old and gray but its gameplay is still fresh today. Oregon Trail on Apple II a game that will take you on a journey anew. You'll lead a wagon train out west through mountains rivers and the wilderness. As you manage your supplies and your crew making decisions both hard and new. Oregon Trail may be from another time but its gameplay is still quite sublime. Come retro gamers gather round with glee and let me tell you of a game. Choplifter by name on Apple II it was a sight to see. You take the reins of a chopper so bold and fly into enemy territory so cold. Your mission is to save hostages one and all but beware of the foes both big and small. A game from the past so long ago a game called loadrunner don't you know. The game was simple yet so clever with traps and ladders it was a game forever. You played a runner running from foes collecting gold and avoiding their blows. Loadrunner on Apple II is a game that's still beloved by me and you. In ancient Persia there was a tale of a prince so brave he could never fail. On Apple II he story unfilled a game that was both daring and surreal. The prince was locked in a dungeon deep with guards and traps he could not sleep but with his sword and wit so keen he fought his way to be the prince so serene. A classic that will never be surpassed a game that forever will last. In the vast expanse of space so vast there lived a game that made hearts blast. Elite was its name on Apple II it's Sean a game that was ahead of its time and well known. The game was a space simulation with trading fighting and exploration. As you flew around in your spaceship engaging with pirates and making alliances the graphics were stunning for its time with a 3D world that was so sublime. As you soared through space and docked at stations the game gave you the sense of true liberation. Well I hope you've enjoyed this YouTube video if you did don't forget to comment like and subscribe and maybe ring that bell. Until next time BYE!


In the last segment we came up with an equation that characterized the shear stress and pipe flow as a function of the pressure as well as the body force and we were doing that coming up with that relationship because we want to try to find the friction factor and so what we're now going to do we're going to take the equation that we derived in the last segment and we're going to look at it specifically in terms of laminar flow so writing out the equation that we had we had tau and I'm going to make a substitution here of du by dr the definition of the shear stress okay so we have this equation now what we're going to do we're going to integrate that equation and we have a boundary condition that the velocity is going to be zero on the outer wall and from that we come up with an expression for the velocity profile so we get that and now applying our boundary condition we can rewrite that so we get this expression here for the velocity now it is still written in terms of the change in pressure as a function of axial position as well as the body force term but we can play with this and extract a few things that enable us to determine the friction factor to begin with what we can do is we can write out an expression for what the maximum of this is going to be so this would be maximum velocity in the pipe flow another thing that we can do if we integrate it with respect to area we can come up with an expression for the volumetric flow rate in the pipe and another thing we can say is that the average velocity is the symbol v and that is q the volumetric flow rate divided by the cross-sectional area by comparing q and u max we find that the average velocity for this flow is just one half u max and this is for laminar flow which enabled us to make that original substitution for tau is mu du dr other things we can write out wall shear and the reason why we're interested in wall shear is because tau was the thing that enables us to determine the friction factor and so let's take a look at that and see where we can go with it now what I'm going to do the term in here I'm going to go back to the u max and we're going to make a substitution from the u max expression so that gives us an expression for tau on the wall and now what we're going to do we're going to take that and we're going to look at the expression that we had from when we did dimensional analysis and came up with the expression for the friction factor so what I am now going to do we have this tau wall here but I'm going to use the expression for tau wall that we just had I will also use the expression for you max I will use the fact that V the average velocity is one half of you max and finally I'll use the fact that the diameter little d is two times the radius and with that we can rewrite this expression and we can rearrange and we get this expression here and looking at these terms this is just one over the Reynolds number so therefore the friction factor for laminar flow is equal to 64 divided by the Reynolds number based on diameter and so that's a very nice clean result that we get and that is the friction factor for laminar flow now what we do in fluid mechanics is we have these functional relationships but we also have a diagram that we use for getting friction factor you can use equations or the diagram and this is called the moody chart or the moody diagram and so what we're going to do we're going to take a look at what this looks like within the moody diagram and then as we go along and we get the relationships for the turbulent flow condition we will add them in but let's begin looking at the moody diagram for laminar flow and the moody diagram begins with Reynolds number plotted in a logarithmic scale on the horizontal and then to the vertical axis we add the friction factor and so there you can see the friction factor and then when we put in the relationship that we just solved for you can see the green line and then you extend that directly and that goes into the transitional flow regime so that is the original or early construction I should say of the moody diagram and we will revisit that once we have an expression for the friction factor for turbulent flow but that is a diagram that engineers use quite often they either use the functional relationship or the moody diagram so what we now have is we have an expression for the friction factor for laminar flow and we can write this in terms of the head loss for laminar flow so we come back and this was using the Darcy Weisbach equation which we derived at the end of the last lecture and so we can say h due to friction and laminar writing out the Darcy Weisbach equation and what I'm going to do now is I'm just going to make substitutions and a little bit of rearrangement we're going to be doing some manipulation here we will also use the definition of the average velocity which is volumetric flow rate divided by area so in the area of our pipe is pi d squared over 4 making that substitution we end up with an expression for the head loss in laminar flow expressing it now in terms of flow rate so there we go and that gives us head loss laminar flow you can then use that in the energy equations to solve for pressure drop and we also have an expression for the friction factor in laminar flow so what we're going to do next is we're going to dive into turbulent flow and I can promise you that things will not be as neat and clean it will be a little bit more complex but we'll look at turbulent flow and then we'll come up with the expression that enables us to estimate the friction factor in turbulent pipe flow


As-salamu alaykum wa rahmatullahi wa barakatuh. Welcome to Ahkam SOS, the show that discusses Islamic practices and duties by His Eminence, the Grand Ayatullah, Sayyid Sadik Shazim, may Allah prolong his life. I'm your host, Mohsin Shah, and joining me is Shaykh Ali Ma'aj. As-salamu alaykum Shaykhna. As-salamu alaykum wa rahmatullahi wa barakatuh. Shaykh, we've got a very, very nice discussion today. It's on Eid and the prayer of Eid, insha'Allah. The actual prayer, is this mandatory? Is it wajib to pray this prayer? The Salah of the two Eids, i.e. Eid al-Fitr and Eid al-Aqha, they become mandatory in the presence and with the being of the Imam of our time, Hajr Allah Farajah Al-Sharif, they become wajib, both of them. When the Imam reappears, insha'Allah, and hears in his reprieveance, the Salah, these two Salah will become wajib for the believers to attend. However, during his disappearance and absence, they both become mustahab, so Salah al-Fitr, Eid al-Fitr and Salah of Eid al-Aqha, they both become mustahab. In other words, you can attend the Jama'a prayer and pray to the Jama'a, or even you can pray individually. As long as it's mustahab, you have both options. Of course, the best option is for the one to attend the Jama'a on the Eid, to celebrate the Eid with the Mu'mineen, also to embrace the Mu'mineen, you know, say salam to them, and of course, you gather in that community on such a blessed day, so it's better for the Mu'mineen to attend and participate in the Eid Salah, and of course, the thawab and the rewards would be more. And of course, the ones would be joyful when you see the Mu'mineen, that's one of the good thing about attending the mosques and the centres in such blessed days that the one becomes happy and joyful by seeing the Mu'mineen attending the Salah, especially after 29 or 30 days of fasting, for example. So it's good to encourage the Mu'mineen to attend on such a blessed day and gain from the barakat and the blessings from this day. Shachlan, the Eid Salah is a little different to the other prayers in terms of the timing.  Where do we pray this prayer? Basically, the Eid Salah of the Fattah and Atha, they both begin by the sunrise. So let's say you pray the Fajr prayer, and then you wait, you do Taqibat, Tasbihat, recitations, whatever mustahab you do, until the sunrise. After the sunrise, you begin and you're allowed to perform the Salah of Eid, till midday. So just before Adhan al-Duhr, you're allowed to perform the Salah. And that's what we see in the mosques around the world and the Muslim worlds, that they pray the Salah many times. They repeat the Salah for those who didn't catch up. So they start from 7 o'clock a.m. till 11 a.m. So for this four or five hours of the time in the morning, they would pray many times. The Imam would repeat the Salah about three or four times to make sure that all the Mu'minin prayed and participated and gained the rewards of Salat al-Aid. So yes, it's from the sunrise till midday. Sheikh, how is the Eid prayer performed? Is it different to our normal prayers? Is it different to the prayer that we do on Juma on Fridays? Yes, slightly different than the Friday prayers. Basically, it's two rak'a of Salat, like Salat al-Fajr. And then the Imam, of course, makes the intention, and the Mu'minin makes it, they make the intention of Salat al-Aid on that day. It begins with on the first rak'a, Hamd and Surah. And then there are five Takbirah. So the Imam begins the first Takbirah, Allahu Akbar. And as soon as he goes to the Ruku'a on the first rak'a, he would raise his hands and read Qunoot. And there's a special dua for the Eid of al-Fattar al-Nadha that you read that dua. Obviously, it's quite famous one. Exactly, it takes about three or four minutes to finish the dua. And of course, five Qunoot in the first rak'a of Salat al-Aid, five Qunoot and five Takbirah, of course. So after each Takbirah, the Imam does, you would raise your hands and read that Qunoot. Of course, it's important for the Mu'minin who follow the Imam or even the Mu'minat, when the Imam is reading Hamd and Surah again, you keep silent and listen to the Imam's recitation. But in the Qunoot, you read the Imam, the dua. And five times, so five Takbirah and five Qunoot, you repeat them. So after each Takbirah, again, you raise both hands and you start reciting the dua. After reciting the last and the fifth Qunoot, then the Imam would go towards the Ruku'a and then sujood and then he stands up again for the second rak'a. In the second rak'a of Salat al-Aid, the Imam also reads Hamd and Surah. Also, the Mu'min should also, the followers be silent and listen to the Imam's Hamd and Surah. And then the Imam again, he goes for the Takbirah al-Haram and he starts to read the Qunoot as well in the second rak'a. This time, there are only four Qunoot. In the second rak'a of Salat al-Aid. In the first rak'a, we had five Takbirah and five Qunoot with it. In the second rak'a of Salat al-Aid, we have four Takbirah with four Qunoot. So again, the Imam repeats the same dua he read in the first five Takbirah and Qunoot. In the second one, the same thing is repeated, but four times this time. So four times Qunoot with the dua, the same dua is repeated. And then the Imam, he goes for the rak'u' and sujood and tashaud and taslim and the Salat is attained and completed in this way. Masha'Allah. Sheikhna, I was smiling because everyone knows about that Eid prayer and the Imam of Qunoot and Masha'Allah. Like you have a very slow Imam Jama'a as you're going to be there for a while. Sheikhna, sometimes there is a khutbah, yes or no, with the Eid prayers? Exactly. I was just going to say this afterwards that there is a khutbah after the Salat al-Aid and this is different with regard to the Salat al-Jum'ah, the Friday prayers. The Friday prayers, the first comes is the two khutbah, two sermons and then Salat al-Jum'ah. In the Salat al-Aid, we have first the two rak'u' of Salat al-Aid and after the Salat, you have the two sermons. That's just vice versa with regard to Salat al-Jum'ah compared to Salat al-Aid. So when the Imam finishes the Salat al-Aid, he stands up and he starts to read the first sermon. When he finishes the first sermon, again about taqwa, about akhlaq, morality, about piousness, God fearing, then he goes and he sits for a few seconds or a minute and then he stands up again to offer the second khutbah, which also could be political, economical, in the current affairs of the Muslims. And then he ends the second khutbah and that's it. The mu'min would stand up and greet each other and send a break and so forth. And that's basically is the Salat al-Aid for the two main aids, the adha and the fatal. There's no adhan or aqama for Salat al-Aid, isn't it? I believe they say the word Salat three times. Exactly. There's no adhan or aqama for Salat al-Aid. So basically the imam, when he wants to start the Salat, as we said in the iqama, that the iqama is there, when the imam says qatqama al-salah, is to inform the followers and the mu'min that get ready and be ready for the Salat. In the Salat al-Aid, no, we don't have an iqama or adhan. So the imam would stand and he would say aloud, al-salah, al-salah, al-salah. So the mu'min would be ready and prepare themselves for Salat al-Aid. And then the imam, he does the takbiyat al-haram and he begins the Salat al-Aid. Shaykhna, with the khutbah of the Juma prayer, it is, you know, it's mandatory that we, you know, it's part of the prayer, it's mandatory that we attend the khutbah. Is it the same with the Eid prayer? Do we have to stay for the khutbah after? With regard to the khutbah, with the whole Salat of Salat al-Aid and the aidain, and the khutbah, they're all mustahab in overall. However, it is permissible for the one to leave the khutbah.  That's fine.  When you finish, you can leave before the imam even starts the khutbah. That's fine. It's all mustahab at the end of the day. This is of course permissible in the time of the occultation of the imam, A.J. Faridah Sharif. So in the time of his presence, that becomes wajib. So now we are allowed because there's no actual presence for the imam, Salamullah alayh, between us. In this case, the Salat al-Mustahab, the khutbah al-Mustahab, and so forth. Sheikhna, the Eid prayer is done on the two most famous Eid, Eid al-Adha and Eid al-Fitr. What about the other Eid, Eid al-Mubahela, Eid al-Ghadeer, one of the most important Eids that we have. Are we allowed to pray Eid prayers on those special occasions? According to the Fatwa of the Sayyid al-Hafadahullah, you would say that, Yes, it's the mustahab for the mu'min also on top of the Eid prayer on Fitr and Adha, also to pray on the Eid al-Ghadeer, this great Eid of Allah SWT, Eid Allah al-Akbar, the great Eid of Allah, the Almighty. And it's one of the best days and the best Eids in the calendar of the Muslims. So, yes, we can pray exactly the same way we pray Salat al-Aid on the Fitr and Adha, also to pray it in the same way to pray it on the day of Ghadeer. So the mu'min would gather and also there's two rak'ah, the same dua, the first rak'ah, five Qun'ut, second rak'ah, also four Qun'ut, and then the Imam, when he ends the Salat, again, first and second sermon, and that's it. So, basically, the Sayyid al-Mustahab, you can perform it, that's fine, and also the Salat, as I've said, exactly the same as Salat al-Aid. But it's only for Eid al-Ghadeer, not the other Eids. The other Eids haven't been mentioned. No, the Sayyid mentions Eid al-Ghadeer for the moment, yeah. Mashallah. Sheikhna, a lot of the brothers and sisters may live in areas where there is a high population of non-Shia and they're celebrating Eid. Are we allowed to pray the Eid prayer with the non-Shia? Are we allowed to pray behind them on Eid? You see, the same conditions and criteria for the Salat to be accepted. And also we mentioned the criteria and the conditions of the Imam al-Jama'ah as well, that to be Shi'ayat al-Nashari, to be Adil, Ratchas, such and the rest of the conditions, that applies also to the Mustahab Salat. You cannot differentiate between the Wajib and the Mustahab Salat. That in Wajib, yes, I only pray behind the Shi'a Imam, for example. And in this case, for the Mustahab, fine, let me go and pray behind the non-Shia Imam and with the non-Shia community. No, you have to also follow the rules and the guidelines that you would also pray behind the Shi'a Imam al-Nashari as well and you follow the same conditions. So, no, you cannot go and pray in the mosque of those who are non-Shia and you pray behind them and you follow the Imam who is the non-Shia, let's say Mecca or Medina mosques. Because it's Eid, it's a joyful day, let me join with them. No, you have to make sure that either you pray it with a Shi'a Imam or you can pray it as we mentioned Farada, you pray it by yourself. So, you stand in the mosque in the corner and you pray it by yourself, that's fine, as a Farada. Even if you move up and down with the Jama'a, but you do it in a Farada way, that's the best way. Otherwise, you just do it somewhere in the Shi'a community in the mosque or center and you pray it with them. Insha'Allah. Thank you very much, Sheikhna. And thank you to all of yous for joining us, insha'Allah. When Eid does come, we wish you a very, very happy and very, very pious Eid, insha'Allah. Until next time, with a new discussion at Akam SOS. Salamu Alaikum. Wa Rahmatullah. Wa Barakatuhu.


Welcome back. Here's what's new in DevTools in Chrome 66. Blackboxing in the network panel, auto-adjust zooming in device mode, HTML rendering in the preview tab, pretty printing in the preview and response tabs, and an improvement to local overrides. First up, blackboxing in the network panel. The initiator column tells you what code caused a network request. If you don't see it, right-click the table header and click Initiator. Here in this demo, you can see that there's a framework wrapper around the requests, so they all point to the same line of code. What I really want is to see the application code that caused each request. To do this, I hover over the initiator, which shows the call stack leading up to the request, right-click the call that I want to hide, then click Blackbox Script. The wrapper code is now hidden from the results, and I can see the app code that really caused each request. To manage your blackbox scripts, type blackbox in the command menu, or go to Settings. The preview tab now always renders HTML and pretty print minified files. Here we've got the Stack Overflow page for DevTools questions. When I click the request for the main document, then open the preview tab, I see a rendering of the HTML. It's not a complete browser, so the rendering isn't perfect, but it's good enough. This often comes in handy when an API returns an error code that's formatted in HTML and you just want to see the rendered output. The preview tab now also pretty prints minified files by default, such as this jQuery file. You can also pretty print from the Response tab by clicking the Pretty Print button. In Device Mode, you can now configure DevTools to always resize the viewport so that it doesn't overflow your screen. First, let's see the old behavior. Here I'm simulating a mobile viewport in Portrait Mode. When I switch to landscape, the viewport overflows my screen. In Chrome 66, if I never want it to overflow, I can click the zoom dropdown, then select Auto Adjust Zoom. Now when I change orientation, the viewport resizes itself to fit my screen. In the last episode, when we announced the launch of local overrides, I mentioned that it had a limitation around CSS and HTML. If you had some CSS inlined in your HTML and made a change to that CSS, local overrides couldn't detect the change. In Chrome 66, that's fixed. Here on this super impressive demo that I built, we've got a CSS rule in the head of the document. The rule sets the color of H1 elements to Fuchsia. In Chrome 65, when I make a change to this declaration and reload the page, the change is gone even though I've got local override set up. In Chrome 66, though, it works as you'd expect. I change the color, then reload the page, and the change is still there. That's all for Chrome 66. Here's a bonus tip. Back when I created the JavaScript debugging tutorial, some viewers pointed out that event listener breakpoints aren't that useful if you're building on top of a framework because your event listeners are usually wrapped in framework code. The black boxing feature that I showed you earlier can also help here. When I click this button, the count increments. When I set a click break point, then click the button, DevTools pauses and views wrapper code, which isn't that helpful. What I really want is to see the app code that causes the count to increment. Since the framework code is in a separate file, I can black box that script from the call stack pane. Now, if I click the button and trigger the break point again, DevTools pauses on the code that I actually care about. Thanks for watching. Leave me a comment if you've got any questions or feedback. Otherwise, I'll see you in six weeks for Chrome 67.


Medvedev threatened to strike court in the Hague with Onyx hypersonic missile. Dmitry Medvedev, deputy chairman of the Security Council of the Russian Federation, has threatened to launch a missile strike against the International Criminal Court in the Hague, which had earlier issued an arrest warrant for Russian President Vladimir Putin in connection with the deportation of Ukrainian children to Russia. About it Medvedev wrote on Telegram, Gentlemen, everyone walks under God and missiles. It is quite possible to imagine the targeted use of hypersonic Onyx from the North Sea by a Russian ship at the Hague court building. Unfortunately, it cannot be shot down, and the court is just a poor international organization, not the population of a NATO country. That's why they won't start a war. They are afraid, and no one will feel sorry for them. So, judges of the court look carefully at the sky. Medvedev wrote, The deputy chairman of the Russian Security Council wrote a post that was as usual long and full of insulting epithets. He called the issuance of the arrest warrant for Putin the final collapse of the international law system. Medvedev went on to write several paragraphs of insults to the ICC, which, according to the Russian official, no one needs and whose effectiveness is allegedly zero. According to Putin's subordinate, a country and its leaders can be judged in two ways. When the country itself has become savagely weakened, almost lost its sovereignty and decided to recognize the judgment of the court, and when the country has lost the war and surrendered. Medvedev believes that after the arrest warrant for Putin, the consequences for the international law will be terrible, as this decision allegedly leads to the collapse of the foundation's the principles of law.


Hello everyone and welcome once again to another edition of the Red Brennan Williams real estate show I'm Shannon Deskins along with Jennifer brown day and Jennifer. It's about time to go back to school It is summer is almost over. Can you believe it? It was like we had this big long winner that we were like we want summer and then summer just is gone It's flown by and that's what we were talking about earlier I think either one of us would be excited to get a summer break like some of these kids have had I know They've had a long one even though it's been hot and humid. Mm-hmm, but I guess this is a busy time for you guys It is this is when realtors say pretty busy Obviously people schedules free up a little bit tend to with with no school in I guess and I'm just guessing people find out How small their homes really are when the kids are home all summer? Exactly exactly and this is the perfect time to do those drive-by's before you've got all the school traffic and the School bus is out on the road.

at least have a part of the parade on assassination. No, but I know enough about the report that has been made to some of the members in the intelligence committees in the Congress. And no, there was nothing in that manual to talk to assassination at all. Will you release that report when it gets to you, even if it's before the election? Sure. Why not? Because I think it's a pretty clear year. But, sir, it said neutralized, didn't it? Isn't that the same thing? What? Didn't the manual say neutralize, and can't that be construed as meaning assassinations? I suppose you could constru it any number of several ways. But in the context in which it was recommended, actually that was not the original choice of the word. The real word was remove, meaning remove from office. You came into a village or town, remove from office. Representatives of the Sandinista government, when they translated into Spanish, they translated it neutralized instead of removed. But the meaning still remains the same. Mr. President, how did you feel about doing that without violence and force? No, you just say that the fellow that's sitting there in the office, you're not in the office anymore. Mr. President, how did you feel when the Soviets implied that we had something to do with Indira Gandhi's assassination? I think it was probably the world's biggest cheap shop in a long, long time. They know better, of course. And I think to take advantage, I know that human life doesn't mean much to them. But to take advantage of a tragedy of this kind, to try and gain some political advantage, it was a cheap shop. Is that why Schultz is not meeting with the deputy minister over there? I don't know that. Did you convey this word to the Soviets? They have been told that we don't like it. What did it say? First thing I learned at Mother's Knee, vice is at some other joint. First thing I learned at Mother's Knee, vice is at some other joint. Yes, I am. Well, thank you, ladies and gentlemen. Thank you very much. I'm a dessert mind myself, but I suppose it's really better for me that I didn't get to finish it. But it's delicious. Well, it's very good to be in Milwaukee and it's a joy to be able to visit this Wesley Parr Wellesley Park retirement home. Nancy and I thank you for inviting us. And I would like to formally say hello to all of you, octogenarians, non-genarians, and of course the kids, my fellow septuagenarians. Did I get that right? I don't say those words very often. And I tend to mispronounce them because I don't think in those terms. I think I've just seen the things that you've made at the Christmas Bazaar. And I can see that your attitude toward life is similar to the fellow who said that, and this was pretty good advice, old age is 15 years from where I am now. You remember the great baseball pitcher, Satchel Page? He once asked, how old would you be if you didn't know how old you was? Well, think about it, I did. That's why I've been 39 for the last 34 years. But one of them is something that I think has been some things I want to speak about just briefly. And one of them, I think, is the most disturbing part of the election campaign. The eagerness of some, for political purposes, to demagogue on the issue actually of social security. And it really leaves me steaming when they try to portray that some of us are having some plans in which secretly we're going to do something about depriving people who are dependent on that particular program. When we came into office, the problem was social security was facing bankruptcy. And we tried to get a bipartisan program together to salvage the program. And after the 1982 election, finally they agreed when we had to borrow $17 billion so the checks wouldn't bounce. And I feel that the people in social security contributed all their lives to that program, invested, entrusted their money to the government. And now I want to make one thing plain, and I have hope to be able to talk to my contemporaries about this and say this. And that is, there is no secret plan to do anything about depriving people who are dependent on social security. And there never will be, as far as I have anything to say about it. Those who are dependent on this program are going to be able to depend on it. And we have now had that bipartisan get-together. And the program is sound fiscally for as far as we can see into the future, into the next century. Now there's another thing I want to talk about for just a second here. Most of us have had children and one way and helped bring them up one way or another, give them support and encouragement, teaching them. And now in traveling over the country in these past few months, and when I was governor of California, there would seem to be a different era of the young people than there is now. I think you'd like to know if you had the opportunity, be on a campus or see them. Today's young people are just the most wonderful young people that I can ever remember seeing. They're filled with patriotism and a love of country. They're serious about their lives and they're wanting an opportunity and to get ahead. And it's just a magnificent thing to see. And you'd all be very proud. Now I mentioned that other time when I was governor, I also would like to talk for just a moment about us and our generation. While I was governor, that was in the era when I was being hung on a number of campuses in effigy and they were burning flags and the school buildings down and so forth. But one day I got a demand from some student officers on the University of California nine campuses, a demand to see me. Well, if I went near the campus, I started to riot so I was delighted. Well, they came in in the uniform of the day, most of them barefoot, torn t-shirts, blue jeans, slouched into some chairs, and then one of them was the spokesman started in. And he said, Governor, it's impossible for you to understand our generation. Well, I tried to pass it off, something that we all know. I said, well, we know more about being young than we do about being old. And he said, no, I'm serious. He said, you can't understand your own sons and daughters. You didn't grow up in an era in which there was instant electronic communications, computers, figuring in seconds what it used to take people months and even years to figure. Jet travel, space journeys, out to the moon and so forth. Well, he went on just long enough. Usually the answer comes to you after you've gone home and you say, I wish I'd said this. Well, he talked just long enough that the Lord blessed me with the answer and when he paused for breath, I interrupted him. Because I'd been thinking about something all the time he was saying these things. And I said, you're absolutely right. We didn't have these things when we were your age. We invented them. It sure did change the subject in a hurry. But now I want to say one more thing just about us. And some of it came from that particular dissertation and thinking of that answer. There have only been a few generations presided over a great transition period. The young people of today are going to see things that we probably can't even imagine. They're going to see many marvels and wonders. They will never see, however, the transition that we saw that in our single lifetime, we went from the horse and buggy to landing men on the moon to space travel, to all of this. And I can still remember the phones that you cranked to get the operator and say, number, please. And now they don't even have cords on them if you want to get one of that kind. But anything, whatever its name. And so I think that we have nothing to apologize for. Those people who want to say, well, the people that went ahead of us, they didn't leave this or that for us, I think this generation of ours, we can sit back and smile easily because I've been saying to some people out in the road, I don't think anyone has ever done more to give dignity and freedom to our fellow man than we have in this our single lifetime. So I think we have much to be proud of. And it's good to be here. And it's good to see all of you and whatever happens on Tuesday. It's been a great honor to serve the past four years as your president.  And I thank you for that. So I won't take any more of your time now, but thank you again for letting us be here with you. And I'll tell you, and you will all understand this, to dear friend of ours, George Burns. You know George, and he's still going, and he's making another movie in which this time is going to play God and the devil. But George has not only been a dear friend all my life, but he has become a great hero to me. He calls me kid. Thank you all very much. You're behind me. Maybe I'll answer your question in the remark. Just listen and see if it doesn't get answered. You know, we see this new whole speaking about his appreciation of America. But I've come to ask for your finest, who are helping us do the better American future. And one of the bright stars in the United States Senate is not running this. He's your own Bob Gaston. Bob agrees with me that we would say Jim Sensen brings some company back there and said that we must distance, and yet four years after our efforts began, small voices in the night are sounding the call. Just before we took office, he said, in our economic program, it is obviously and murderously equation from above 12 down to around 4%. The United States economy created more than 6 million new jobs in 21 markets. So prices would cost you $3,800 basic parts. First one, raise your taxes. Second part, do it again. I want his tax increases, and they're not going to get them. If it were a Broadway play, it would be promises, promises. And if it were a book, you would have to read it from the back to the front to get a happy ending. One square inch of territory any place in the world was lost to communist aggression. And they stood for one and damned the other. Boys of this kind, I know that in this country there are much that have been started already. And they're encouraging and leaders to believe that we can update the United States Senate. He called it that it was a horrible waste. Well, we're f----ing out the SOS and started saying USA. America was never meant to be a second best nation, like our Olympic athletes. The purpose of a committee in the House of Representatives for more than two years under the direction of Temple Neal. And that's why we want these candidates and these congressmen of yours returned to Washington so that we can get that program out there. And the other thing, just that one simple thing, vote. And make sure your neighbors vote. Get everyone out there. USA, USA, USA, USA, USA, USA, USA, USA, USA. America has a Serbian bruslaw. It is a symbol of, a Serbian symbol of liberty. And she gives it to you as to the champion of liberty and the King of America. We also have a finale here for you.


Welcome, YouTubers. My name is Fausto from CyberTradeVersity and just wanted to just go over really quick some of the how to trade pre-market trading. So we just finished our morning meeting with our traders and I wanted to just start a video to kind of show you that how people might discriminate against cheap stocks and says, ah, you can't make money or how do you trade pre-market? Some people don't think you could even trade in pre-market. So right here, I just wanna bring this over really quick. This is our professional trading room. And right here, you'll notice, we actually start our trading room at exactly right around eight o'clock in the morning, our traders start getting in. And then what we do is we come up with a watch list. Now a lot of these stocks are moving before eight o'clock. Some of the market usually opens up around six a.m. and I want you to focus right here. You see this right here, ladies and gentlemen, in yellow at eight o' five. Look at those stock symbols in the pre-market watch list. We got one, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight. Was it one, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight stocks. Okay, so we got eight stocks that we found this morning in pre-market. And what I did was I wanna show you what it's like to trade in pre-market. Now right here are those stocks that were traded at eight o'clock this morning. Now if you can go back and look at the chart, we'll just look at this one right here. Our biggest winner right now is this TROV. You can see you're up about $2,200 on 1,000 shares. On a $6 stock, let me remind you. So here's eight o'clock this morning. You can see how the stock started right around seven o'clock this morning. Went to five, all the way to nine, right down to six.  How did you know it was going up? Well, listen, there's a lot of factors that we teach at Cybertrain University. First of all, if you go to some of the videos, you'll see I'll talk about level three quotes. I'll talk about metrics. I'll talk about high-frequency trades. But anyway, that's really the biggest winner out there. TNXP, you can see all these stocks. If you looked at any one of them, and by the way, if you look on the bottom right, you could see the clock over here right now. The market's not even open up. We still got about seven minutes before it opens up. So out of those stocks right there that you see, like I told you, the next biggest winner, S-E-L, S-E-L. You can see them all right around here. Eight o'clock this morning. Stock hit major support level, seven o'clock. One of the reasons why it went up and you could see where it is today. So pre-market is very, very, very big when it comes to trading. But also, there are things that will lead into knowing, will these stocks continue? So I want to talk about one of our biggest winners yesterday. And this happens, you know, once in a while. Nothing, you know, maybe once a month, once every other month. But here's a stock, BPTH, that we traded yesterday. Now this is day trading at its best. And I want to blow up this chart really quick.  But here's the stock at seven o'clock this morning, which was around $13. And then the stock right around eight o'clock was already at about 15. And you could see it right around here when the stock started moving. And right at nine o'clock, stock went from 15 all the way to about 28. And then when the market opened up. And by the way, this is not a misprint. Stock went to $72. Was that the high right there? Yeah, something like that. Yeah, right around almost 75. And it came right down. But this is day trading at its best. Now just to ask yourself a question, when's the last time you were ever in a stock that went up that high? Now you're probably asking questions, well, why did it go up so fast? What was it? Listen, it was a company, the stock by the way was not $15, okay? Yesterday, it actually was $2 a couple of days ago. We were trading it the last couple of days. And listen, if you want to know how to swing trade, you got to know how to day trade first. You want to learn how to option trade, you got to learn how to day trade first. So these are the things that I just want to point out to you when it comes to trading. Because I know there's a lot of people out there that want to learn how to trade. And you go out there and you're learning from people and you just don't know if they're the right fit. I know a lot of you guys are reading books, but you got to know how to have skin in a game. And not only having skin in a game, you have to surround yourself with a good team. And that's something that we, that had been doing for 25 years at Cybertree University. Because I'm only as good as the people I surround myself with. I try to teach my traders because they make me better. And every one of you need mentors. Now, listen, day trading might not be for you, but don't think you can just go out there and say, hey, where did you find that stock? Oh, could I get those, that watch list? Let me tell you something. I would recommend nobody trade any one of these stocks because you don't know how. You don't know why they went up. You don't know when they're gonna go down. Because it's the winners take care of themselves. It's the losers you have to learn. And one of the big things you're gonna learn most importantly and what my style of teaching is because if you know how to pre-market trade and you know what's going on in the pre-market, this is what leads what goes on to the open. And there's a whole thing about that, how that works. So to learn more about it, subscribe to our YouTube channel. Actually, I have an Instagram that I showed yesterday regarding about this PBTH. If you guys want to see that video, I did a three minute video clip on it. But listen, go out there, learn, watch some more of our videos, maybe even do a trial. Just click on the bottom, click like if you liked this video, maybe register for one of our trials, our upcoming events, and you'll get no more about it. But guys, just remember something. You have to learn before you could earn. Thanks for watching this video, guys. Good luck and happy trading.


Welcome back. This is the 20th show in the series, Rehabilitation Coming Soon, in which we've been discussing mass incarceration in Hawaii and throughout the United States. I'm Bob Merson. I'll be sitting in as host today for our regular host, Aaron Wills, who will be returning, I believe, next week. Our very distinguished guest today is Moses Haya, the executive director of the Native Hawaiian Legal Corporation. Moses was a staff attorney at the Native Hawaiian Legal Corporation before he became executive director. And he, as a staff attorney, led the way in some landmark cases involving water rights and Native Hawaiian burial cases. Before joining the Native Hawaiian Legal Corporation, Moses was in private practice and he worked with the Hawaiian Advisory Council and litigated a number of water issues, particularly concerning the Waiholi Ditch. He is a graduate of the University of Hawaii and the William Richardson School of Law. And we are very happy and proud to have him with us today. Welcome, Moses. Thank you. It's a pleasure to be here. Our viewers have probably heard about Native Hawaiian Legal Corporation, but for those who haven't, I wonder if you could tell us a little bit about what it is and what the Native Hawaiian Legal Corporation does. Okay, well, you know, just to give a little bit of a background on it, there is a bit of a cultural renaissance that began in the early 70s. And it was centered around land and Hawaiian's way of seeing land as family and wanting to ensure that whatever could be done to protect that land was done. And so the Native Hawaiian Legal Corporation actually started off as a referral service in 1974 trying to get people who needed help, for example, with quiet title actions where a lawsuit would be filed and the plaintiff would be seeking to quiet title to the entire property. In other words, to get a court decision saying that title to this property is clear and in your name plaintiff. And a lot of the name defendants were Hawaiians, and then just based upon history, Hawaiians were living on the land, using the land, and so they became, for the most part, the defendants defending those kinds of cases. And so that's how we began and we slowly moved into a Native Hawaiian rights non-profit law firm, a public interest law firm, where today we do anything from access rights to rights for Native Hawaiian prisoners for their religious freedom. We water rights, being able to basically be a Hawaiian in Hawaii. And maybe I should make a disclosure here. I have it down on my notes to do it a little bit earlier, but I'm on the board of the Native Hawaiian Legal Corporation and want everyone to understand that. And proud to be on the board and a part of what I think is a great organization. You mentioned the prison cases, and I know we can't talk about them specifically because some of them are still pending, and that wouldn't be proper. But in general, what are the issues that the Native Hawaiian Legal Corporation sees as being important enough to litigate in the context of the prison setting here in Hawaii? Well, I think it's just a matter of equality when it comes to the right to engage in one's religious beliefs. If you look at the prison system, you'll see that Christians, for the most part, you know, they, Christians who are inmates have a number of opportunities to engage in their Christian practice. And that's not necessarily the case for others. There are other religions that are starting to get to that point. But when we started looking into the issues we saw that Native Hawaiians were probably the least likely to receive opportunities to engage in traditional and customary Hawaiian religious practices. Why is it important for Hawaiians who are incarcerated to have access to cultural practices and be allowed to engage in those practices? You know, the best way for me to approach that topic is to speak from my own experiences. It's fortunate enough to never spend time behind bars, at least prison bars. I created bars of my own. So the only thing that separates me, this is the way that I see it, from Native Hawaiian inmates is that I never got caught for some of the things that clearly would have landed me in prison. I just, I really got lucky in that way. And so that didn't stop me from continuing to get into trouble. And what I started to see was I was going to a school, Kamehameha Schools, and while it wasn't necessarily the message that I was being delivered, the way that I took that message in turned into, it's not such a good thing for me to be Hawaiian because the statistics prove it out. I have a better chance than anyone else of ending up in prison, of being unemployed, homeless. So all the things that people for the most part don't want to be number one in, I saw that as an opportunity because I was a Hawaiian. And so I had a very skewed opinion of what it was to be Hawaiian. And it got to the point where, like in the 70s when that renaissance was happening and there were these activists, Kulave, Kalama Valley, I would look at them and I'd say, please stop it. You're embarrassing me because, you know, we need to become the best Americans we can become. And while that was a surface kind of thing for me, I feel deep down inside is today where I understand the real issue was. And the genesis of all the trouble and heartache that I started to feel because I couldn't buy that deep down inside despite the kinds of, you know, the numbers that were out there that showing what were Hawaiians were socioeconomically. And as a result of that, I fought as hard as I could and ultimately, you know, became that statistic in another way. I had problems with alcohol and drugs. And what happened for me, fortunately, was I was at a meeting and this older Hawaiian gentleman shared and said that he was proud to be Hawaiian. And that struck a chord in me because I couldn't understand that. So I went up to him and we talked for a little bit. And although he never explained what he meant by that, he just said, you know, hang around. And so from that point on, I started to look at what I had taken on and defined me as a Hawaiian. And I started to see that it wasn't truly what defined me as a Hawaiian. And the kind of person that I am being very apologetic for being Hawaiian, I am now going to be on the other end of the spectrum about being really proud to be Hawaiian and shouting from the mountain tops. And I've learned through Hawaiian culture and other ways of seeing that the Hawaiian that I am needs to get to a point of balance. And for me, that's what will define me, how balanced I can be in my views and not giving up who I am as a Hawaiian. But the example is, doing the work of a native Hawaiian legal corporation, there are a lot of people out there that look at us as anti-development. And that's clearly not the case. Okay, you can say we're pro-culture, but ultimately we're about balance. And when it comes to that, what we're saying is, what I see is people come here and they want to be in Hawaii because of all the special things about this place. What makes this place special? A lot of that is aloha, Hawaiian values. A lot of that gets sold, you know, in the tourism industry. And I don't want to see what provides the specialness about this place lost because we don't see it for its true value. And that makes us who we are. So I work to ensure that anything that is going to impact Hawaiian culture does it in a way that it doesn't get rid of it, that it pays respect to it. And I can only see that continuing to have those special things about Hawaii provide, even if you're looking at it from a capitalist point of view, continues to provide that value you need. And if you continue to waste away at it, you start to lose that, and then we're just any old place. So kind of got off the track, we're talking about rehabilitation. Well, and so I take it from what you're saying is that as you form this view of yourself as a Hawaiian and what it means to be Hawaiian, and if you're unable to be Hawaiian in prison, then you start to have all the problems that you were having. Particularly I guess if you're in Arizona, one of the 1400 prisoners in Arizona where you're basically in the middle of a Native American desert, and kind of hard to practice Hawaiian values there, unless somebody is going out of their way to help you. I don't see any difference, despite the change in location of our mental, where we are mentally, about what it is for me to be a Hawaiian. And unless and until I start to deal with that, and start to get to a point where I can form a foundation of what it means for me to be Hawaiian. And I think that culture, a way of being Hawaiian through cultural practices has allowed me to get a different perspective on what it is for me to be Hawaiian, and to start to be able like that gentleman who shared said being proud to be a Hawaiian. And so when it comes to opportunities, especially in prison, for one to engage in practices that provide that foundation of what a Hawaiian is in terms of his or her relationship to land, to water, to sky, to the world, I think we start to get on the way of having a firm foundation and finding out who we are, so that there's a greater possibility to begin to act in different ways, think in different ways. We'll come to a point where we need to take a break, so we're going to leave for a moment. This is Rehabilitation Coming Soon. I'm Bob Merse here with the Moses Haya of the Native Hawaiian Legal Corporation, and we'll be back in just a minute. Aloha. My name is John Wahee. And I actually had a small part to do with what's happening today. Served actually in public office. But if you don't already know that, here's a chance to learn more about what's happening in our state by joining me for a talk story with John Wahee every other Monday. Thank you, and I look forward to your seeing us in the future. Aloha. I'm Kaui Lucas, host of Hawaii Is My Mainland, here on Think Tech Hawaii every Friday afternoon at 3 p.m. Start your Pau Hano weekend off with the show where I talk to people about issues pertinent to Hawaii. You can see my previous shows at my blog, kauilukas.com, and also on Think Techs. Welcome back. Again, Bob Merse. We're here with Moses Haya of the Native Hawaiian Legal Corporation, and we've been talking about Hawaiians in prison. And before we go on, you mentioned that you were not in prison, but you were lucky, and that was the main reason that you weren't. And I'm glad you weren't, because Hawaiians, just a few statistics that I've come across recently, make up about 26 percent of the general population in Hawaii. But they're close to 40 percent of the prison population. And a few years ago, the Office of Hawaiian Affairs issued a study that showed clearly that Hawaiians were overrepresented in every segment of the criminal justice system. They were found guilty more often than other groups. They went to prison more often. They get longer sentences. They get longer parole periods, and there's a complete inequity with regard to the Hawaiians who are in prison. And that's clearly one of the issues that has to be addressed at some point. But getting back, what kinds of things would you think would be important within the correctional system that would support Native Hawaiians in their belief and that they are Hawaiian and in their pride in being Hawaiian and their ability to really practice? What would you like to see the Department of Public Safety doing for Hawaiian inmates, given that they are overrepresented and constitute probably the largest single group of people in the prison system? Yeah. So this is our home. It certainly doesn't feel like it. I think you're well aware that there are two official languages in Hawaii, one being Hawaiian. And that language is almost lost. And that language holds a significant tie to what it means to be a Hawaiian. You learn the language you start to think as a Hawaiian. You start to act as a Hawaiian. So I think if we're really trying to rehabilitate or provide opportunities to return Hawaiians back to society, then we're obligated to give them those opportunities that are going to provide them with the tools that will let them become the Hawaiian that they should be in Hawaii. And it's a constitutional requirement that certain practices be allowed, religious practices. And that was a long-flat battle in the 1978 Hawaii Constitution which changed to provide constitutional protection to Native Hawaiian tradition and customary practices for culture, for religious purposes. What do that constitutional provision say? I mean, not quoting it, but what's the heart of it? It's basically to say that this state has an obligation to ensure that Native Hawaiian tradition and customary practices for religious, cultural, and other purposes are protected, they're allowed to be engaged in. And the underlying, I believe the underlying basis for that is what's happened through the years with respect to just the overall loss to the point of almost totally gone under the culture of Hawaiians. And it's no wonder when you have Hawaiians who have lost who they are because they don't have their cultural foundation and underpinnings, that they're going to be without a rudder or foundation and working from a point of a center of knowing who they are as a Hawaiian. Obviously, Native Hawaiian legal corporation has had to litigate some of these issues. Do you think they're doing enough to bring these constitutional protections into the prison system? When you say they... Department of Public Safety or the other state generally? Well, you know, I obviously am not the most objective person when it comes to that, especially given my personal and professional background. But if we really want to see change or offer change for these overrepresented individuals in prison, there's no doubt in my mind that offering these kinds of programs and the ability to engage in practices is the one most important way of getting to a point where you're allowing a Hawaiian to get past what I believe has been the stumbling block for them and why they're in the situation they find themselves in. So my answer is no. Much more needs to be done. Hawaiians, well, most of the people in prison, no matter who they are, end up coming out, unfortunately about 40% of them end up going back in within three years, which is a horrible cycle that we don't seem to be able to break. And in my thinking, you know, one reason that we can't break this cycle of recidivism is that we don't treat people appropriately in prison. We don't really do anything to change behavior in prison. But I think the other reason is that we don't do enough in the community to put people on the right track to begin with. And by the time they come into the prison system at age, whatever, 18, 19, 22, most of these are young men.  What kinds of things do you think about in the community that you would like to see change, not just in the prison system, but in the communities where we have a lot of Native Hawaiians, whether it's access to places where they can engage in Native Hawaiian practices, cultural practices, access to water, access to land. One of the key elements that the Native Hawaiian Legal Corporation wants to focus on to, build a better culture generally so that we don't end up with these people in the prison system. So what we have is we have rights, and those rights are codified in Hawai'i's law. Some of those rights have constitutional protection. And what we don't have is those rights actually being transformed into the social fabric of a community, such that they become commonplace in communities, that it's not, oh wow, we're going to do this program, but this is what's happening, and this is going to become a part of our community. Engaging in traditional and customary practices, i.e. tarot growing, kapa, all kinds of ways of being Hawaiian become a part of the social and moral fabric of our island, of our state. I think there are those laws, but to actually get them into practice is a completely different set of issues. Sometimes it's because of resources. Resources are really precious and are sometimes used by large corporations. You know, while, for example, large agribusiness has had a tight hold on water for generations, and the fact that water hasn't been able to flow through streams has prevented Hawai'ians, Hawai'ian individuals, Hawai'ian families, Hawai'ian communities from acting as Hawai'ians with respect to the way that you as a Hawaiian view and treat water. We're down to about the last 30 seconds of our show already today, Moses, and hopefully we can have you back again in the near future to talk about some of these issues. When you're talking about changing the community, I was just thinking about the Native Hawaiian Justice Task Force that was formed. They came up with like 38 recommendations, and nobody seems to be listening to the things that you were saying and that others, particularly Native Hawai'ians in the community are saying, and hopefully we can do something to change those. But thank you very much for being our guest here today. I look forward to perhaps having you back in the near future, and we appreciate your coming on and sharing your views with us. This is Rehabilitation Coming Soon. I'm Bob Merse. That's our show for today. Stay tuned for Sustainable Hawai'i with Kristen Turner coming up next.
