All right, and again, for tonight, again, like I said, I'm so honored and sfpl is still honored to be hosting Zizava, long time, long time fan. Zizava is the award-winning literary magazine founded in San Francisco in 1985. And since then, it's become one of the country's premier journals. It's a beloved fixture in the Bay Area. And tonight's event is hosted by Oscar Villalon, Zizava's managing editor. His writing has been published in several publications, including Freeman's, Zacallo, The Believer, LidHub, and more. And he lives here in San Francisco. All right, Oscar, I'm gonna go ahead and turn it over to you. Please unmute. Yes, yes, thank you so much. And thank you, everyone who came out tonight to check us out. It's greatly appreciated. You know, it means a lot for us to have folks come out and support our contributors in our operation here. I am indeed, I'm Oscar Villalon, I'm the managing editor of Zizava, a little bit about us, in case you don't know about us. We started out in 1985 in San Francisco and we've been here ever since. So we're 35 years of publishing from the city. Our focus was primarily on West Coast writers and authors and, excuse me, West Coast writers, poets, and artists. But over the years, meaning since about 2010 or so, Laura Cogan, who's the editor, and I have kind of expanded upon that and brought in a bunch of folks from other parts of the country too, other parts of the world, you know, to contribute to our pages for one simple reason. I think it just makes for a better reading experience and I think our readers greatly enjoy it. Tonight we have four folks from you, for you, excuse me, from our newest issue, issue 121, which is themed on family, hence its title, The Family Issue. We'll be bringing them up one at a time to read for you. The first one being Bethany Ball. Bethany is the author of the novels, What to Do About the Solomons, which was a Nerd Times editor's choice and most recently The Pessimists to be published by Grove Atlantic on October 12th, very, very soon. Her work has appeared in the common, the American Literary Review, Lithub, and her story, The Why, appears in the Family Issue, issue 121. Please welcome Bethany Ball. Thank you, Oscar. So I'm just gonna jump in. The story is called The Why and it takes place in the Detroit YMCA. Back then Yale sat behind the front desk counter in the resident section of The Why, and I sat beside him. Regi worked maintenance and had the gray cast and steady hands of a true alcoholic. He was always on time and reliable. Robert was a resident and lived on the sixth floor. He had a sweetness in his face, looked always as though he knew a secret or a good joke and wore his white afro in a cloud around his head. Joseph stood on the farthest end of the desk with a newspaper in his hand and searched for horses to bet on. He was handsome enough that I sometimes flirted with him though he was missing his front teeth. He had lost his mind in the GM plant and his entire retirement with it and he liked to go to the racetrack in Hazel Park. Sometimes he'd pay me $20 to drive him there. Annie, we'd find sometimes in the dumpster searching for cans, enough of them and she could get a bag of dope. I watched her with wariness and sympathy but she never had much use for me.  Matt was the Christian social worker term manager. Heather had just had a baby a few months before. I was there when the baby was born but she gave it up for adoption soon after. She had a pretty face and blonde hair she wore in a curtain down to her tailbone. She was cross-eyed and mean spirited and antagonized everyone and had been fired more times that I can count.  Grace Church on Davis and offered free lunch three times a week. They rotated meals with the soup kitchen on Holburn. After lunch I'd watch folks filter in through the heavy glass doors. They brought in their cups of coffee and bright red apples and paper plates of lasagna and meatloaf and mac and cheese and sometimes someone would leave me an apple. I'd pretend to throw it away but I'd dump it in my bag for later. The desk where Yale and I sat faced a lobby and it was a fortress of green four mica that separated the staff from the residents. Though I'd lost count how many residents were also staff. Big Mike sat on one of the vinyl sofas with his headphones on. He wore them to drown out the voices in his head. Big Mike worked off first one shoe and then the other until the stench filled the room. Yale stood up and shouted at Big Mike to put his shoes back on. I jumped in my seat. Big Mike sat up surprised and put them back on right away. A few minutes passed and then Big Mike groaned and pushed himself off the couch. He lurched up to the counter and I handed him his key room 724. He put his airphones back on and lumbered over to the elevator. Reggie who knew everything about everyone at the Y had told me that Big Mike had come from the Iowa Iowa cornfields to play football at Michigan and had had some kind of a breakdown. His people had never come for him. The elevator was slow and shitty, barely hanging on by a wire the way everything around here felt. It came to a stop with a sick thunk and rattled open. Matt the social worker stepped out as Big Mike lumbered in. I rifled through a pile of scrap paper each one with a tiny cut out head of a child glued neatly in the corner thanks to Yale and handed Matt his messages and he headed into his office without a word. When I saw I'd forgotten to give him one of the messages call home regarding mom. I threw it in the trash. I'll tell him later. He was always getting messages about his mother. The snow stopped a heavy blanket of white covered the cars parked out front. The weather front moved out and the clouds lowered and the temperature outside rose. I took my pack lunch to the resident lounge where I ate my peanut butter sandwich at one of the tables. When I was done, I bought coffee mixed with the hot cocoa from the vending machine and carried it back to the desk. Yale was packing it up to go, neatly putting away an ornate pair of silver scissors like the kind old ladies had in their sewing kits as well as glue sticks and newspaper mailers into a briefcase. I pulled out the incident reports so that I could pretend to be alphabetizing if Matt walked by. But really I couldn't wait to get back to my book. I was reading Justine by Lawrence Darrell at the time. I loved the winding, dirty Dusty Alexandria and the ragged inhabitants and the poetry. I set the book down with its spine facing up. When I heard the door behind me unlock and open, Reggie sat down in the chair beside me. What's new, I asked. Yale left? Yeah, I said just now. Did you hear what happened, Reggie said? He went too far this time and pasted dolls heads all over Matt's mail. You get in trouble? No, Reggie said, of course not. Reggie went to work changing out the garbage bags. Give me your can, he said. He had new trash bags shoved into his belt to line the cans and he worked with an efficient elegance until he had three neat trash bundles lined at our feet. I bent down to help him with the fourth, but he stopped me. I got it, he said. Across the desk, big Mike was in his usual spot half dozing. Robert and his big winter parka sat across from him and watched out the window.   I got the sense he wanted to tell me something. That night after my shift ended, I drove my old Chevette down through the unclouded roads to a room in a house in Hamtramac. I shared with six roommates. Some were ex-students, some were dropouts like me and some were waitresses. One guy was in a band and another was a cable guy. I kept to myself. I dropped out of school because one day nearly a year ago during the summer session, I thought I was being followed by a flock of crows. They followed me from tree to tree as I went to class and walked out about campus. At night, they would caw and caw outside my dorm room window. One morning, not long after, I woke up and I couldn't get out of bed. Outside the window, the crows cawed and scrambled. Everybody thought I had the flu, but I knew better. One crow perched on my window and peered at me in a friendly, curious way. Finally, the resident advisor took me to the hospital and the hospital called my parents. My mother walked into my room with her lips drawn tight in a furious line. She wasn't paying for any kind of therapy, she said. And I always ruined her summer vacation. The nurse who brought my mom in stood with her mouth hanging open and then she disappeared. After my mom left, the staff softened toward me. Sharing the room with me was a Chinese girl with bulimia. My parents are far away, she told me. Together, we watched British shows on PBS, on the TV that overhung our beds. She left before me, I guess she was cured. And later she sent flowers. I'd been diagnosed depressed, which they said was situational, but they thought I needed to take some time off from school, adjust to my meds and my new reality. My mother begged me to stay in school. She said she wouldn't help me financially if I left and that I wasn't welcome back home. I needed to finish things I started, she said. I needed grit. But after I got out of the hospital, I dropped out officially and took a job at the Y. I liked it, I was happy there, I felt at home. I loved the residents, they liked me. They left me little gifts of candy and apples and let me read and piece most days. I was reasonably good at what I did. Handing out keys, taking rent and giving them four quarters for a dollar. I kept the piece, I put out fires and in exchange, they let me be. And that's all I'm going to read from that. Thank you. Well, thank you, Bethany. That was lovely. Bethany Ball, again, the story is called The Why It's In The Newest Tissue of Azizovah. Our next reader is a poet and we actually accepted his work a while ago. And I don't know what happened because of the logistics of trying to put out a journal. That's how we kept holding on to him, holding on to him. But as it turned out, happily, we found the perfect place to run it in, in the family issue. And that person is Andrew Navarro. Andrew is a history teacher and he's also a poet. He lives in Southern California, where he works, excuse me, he lives in Southern California where he works and his writing has appeared or his forthcoming in Michigan Quarterly Review, Air Light, Carve, and of course, in Azizovah. We please welcome Andrew Navarro. Cool, thank you so much, Oscar. So first, I would like to just thank you, Oscar, and Azizovah for putting together the issue. And thank you for the San Francisco Public Library for putting together this reading and just hosting us. I should say, it's a pleasure to be here with you all. So the pieces I'm going to read, I'm going to read four poems, three of which appear in the issue of Azizovah, the family issue, and all of which are from a larger body of work where I pair my poetry with images from the Mexican Revolution. And they each deal with family in their own way from modern marital issues to, you know, the myth and ancestry. So hope you enjoy them. Depression. Like balding, there's little we can do to stop apostasy. If history is to teach us anything, I'd suggest skipping the late 20th century, which faults too heavily the communists in Nicaragua, poisoning the culinary commodities of the world. But who really cares? When beneath every gelatinous puddle of memory, isn't the truth, but the minutiae we often associate with it. Objects to lie. Like the time you spilled the cup of chocolate onto the thighs of Jessica from Home Room. What you said you can never remember. Only the mound, sorry, only the mound of used paper napkins.  There's nowhere to escape. She's driving. And you're too little the adventurer to jettison and too much a coward to speak out when she asks for the fourth time, what exactly is wrong? But that's the thing. What exactly is wrong is difficult to say. It is where we find ourselves in this car, both daughters asleep in the back as we inch forward through time, toward the mall, where our girls were screamed as they sit on the lap of a bearded impostor for a picture. It is exactly where all humanity at some point has found itself grappling with the inadequacy of words. The next poem was titled, The Conquest. Hearing there were poets among the Spanish army. The poets of Monctisuma's court issued a challenge. In secret, these poets met, exchanging manuscripts and codices. The Spanish at first questioned the Aztec lack of form and meter, but admired the native bending of words. The Aztec critiqued the Spaniard imagination and use of metaphor, but professed an interest in the subject of rhyme. In time, both grew to admire the other until news of such meeting reached Cortez, who ordered the poets killed and their work destroyed. Accounts from the friars describe the event as follows. The men and lone woman and their company refused to say a single word as the swords were brought down upon them. To the surprise of those who witnessed the execution, plumed feathers sprung forth from their wounds as their bodies dissolved to froth and mud. Legends speaks of only a single parchment, poems filled with words that could only be read by those who speak the language of the dead. Of course, my history teacher always doubted this to be true. And this is the final piece that comes in the fall issue, Zizwa, and then just one more right after this one. And this poem is titled, Dear Jorge, you could be promised two things in Samora, bullets and strawberries, headline the news article I read, local farmer killed, it said. At first we didn't know how it happened that Friday morning, but learned more with every panic to phone call. And though the accounts at times conflicted, there were a few consistent pieces to the story of how you died.  Your death made you the third uncle, all in the business of strawberries. It was a crash at first, second a stray bullet to the chest from a shootout.  The gunman's arm was adorned with black tattoos, but all killers were the same in the stories one heard. Senora Lopez's son was cut to pieces when her family couldn't pay his ransom in the same town where you lived. The mayor wasn't safe and died as well. They ran a picture of your body taken right in the spot where you died crumpled across the seats of your truck like a jacket left on the ground. Your body was dressed in jeans and a plaid shirt. They blurred what was left of your face. My siblings and I were shocked, but that was Mexico.  And then my final poem is titled, The First Writer in My Family. A little, not warning, but there's some accents in this poem that I still have yet to work out. And I do not think I'll be able to work out. So just an apologies now if the French accent or the Austrian does not come through. And if you are from those parts or ancestry of French and Austrian, I apologize. But the poem goes on. The First Writer in My Family. Some claim dementia and others' imagination, but all conceded that my great grandfather's aberrations toward the end of his life only matched his threadbare sweaters and tattered caps. If you were inclined to spectacle, then shadowing Jimmy, as he was known, would have been a good course of action. With preternatural fashion, my great grandfather changed upon crossing the threshold of particular rooms. As Monsieur Lucas, he riveted cafes with his rambunctious and explosive displays. Oui, oui, excusez-moi, Monsieur. Another sandwich, s'il vous plaît. Boris Hans, a drunk Austrian who frequented the bars in constant search of his friend. Fernando Gonzalez, have you seen him? My good friend Fernando. A suspicious man, he would hand copies of his manuscripts over balconies exposing the pages to the thrashing of wind. Some considered him a genius, but his granddaughter never understood why he was held in such esteem by anyone. His granddaughter, my mother, hated him. She would explain shortly after his death. He'd spent most of his days in the closet, arguing with each jacket and coat. The few months of the year he was ever home. At night, she said, all I remember him doing in the dark alone was yelling into the mirror, angry and weeping. Thank you. Nope, I'm back. Thank you, Andrew, so much. That was absolutely lovely. I just want to give people a sense of how the poems appear in the new issue. So you see from this, they're just opposed against some public domain that we checked, public domain images. What is this? There we go. I think the fact is quite lovely. I think we're all, and maybe even start with Sebald, but we're certainly living under his shadow. These many years later. Thank you again, Andrew, so much. Our next two readers, before I introduce them, it's very interesting that this realizes is that the stories sort of inform each other as one is about an aid donor and the other is about essentially a sperm donor. But they're both very interesting takes though on what it means to be a biological parent and how one would navigate that sort of relationship. So I thought perhaps we would begin then with the story that maybe is a little more, I think, perhaps crushing, if I may say so. And that would be Robin Rahm's story. And by the way, they're both very funny, but funny stories can still hurt you. Let me tell you. Robin is the author of three books that most recently edited Double-Bind Women on Ambition, Her Story Collection, The Motherguarding was a finalist for the Pendulous State Prize. And her memoir, The Mercy Papers, was named the best book of the year by the New York Times, the San Francisco Chronicle, and Entertainment Weekly. She lives in Portland, Oregon. And we've had the pleasure and the privilege of publishing on more than once. But her most recent piece for us appears in this, The Family Issue, and it's called Radical Empathy. Please welcome Robin. You're almost there, Robin. Still almost there. Sorry, sorry. The whole thing went black for a minute, and now it's fine. Can you hear me? You are good. Okay. Okay, great. Thanks for having me. I, these Zoom things always make me feel like happy to see people and sort of sad that I can't actually see people. So it's very, I don't know, what's the word for that? When you melancholy, I don't know, all the words. So I think I'm just gonna start with it, just like in the third page of the story or something like that. And all you really need to know is that a young woman has gone to a film lot to meet with an actress who wants to interview her before using a broker to use her eggs. What made you offer your eggs? Marla asked. I mean, I know you answered that in your beautiful essay, but I feel like I'd rather hear it from you. It's a big deal, a lot of medication, shot, surgery. What prompted you to be so generous? Eliza had to answer, Alisa had to answer this question a number of times. In the interview with the broker in the conversation with the counselor that screened her in the donor info essay, she had written about her aunt Serena, who couldn't have kids. What she hadn't said was that eggs from a girl like her went for a lot. With the, oh, she's from an Ivy League school. With the $50,000, they promised her she could take an internship when she graduated and not worry about accruing even more debt. She didn't wanna be a doctor, a corporate lawyer, a software developer. She wanted to be a book editor. Her student loans, she worried would dog her to her grave, but with a little lubricating cash, she could at least afford to worry less. It hadn't occurred to her to do it at first. She'd shown Lena the ad from the broker in the Brown Daily Herald in order to market ISO Ivy League eggs. It was so absurd, Ivy League eggs.  The eggs didn't have tiny little CVs. They didn't row crew, didn't project natural charisma. Lena's brother, Paul, worked at a bar in Northampton and showed no signs of being the least bit curious or ambitious. He barely got through high school and he had the same genes to pay double for such an egg, but Lena didn't smile.  She talked about this frequently, boldly, never worrying about how she sounded and somehow she never sounded sanctimonious or irritatingly earnest. Lena with her disorderly long blonde curls, her intense dark eyes, her square shoulders and precise enunciation. She wore flowing pants, perfectly faded cotton jackets. She came from the Upper West Side. Her mother came from some kind of old money and her father worked for a hedge fund. Lena didn't try to hide this, but she had a different way about her than most of the prep school kids who spent their time partying and vacationing on Martha's Vineyard. She was so smart, she could slice through any idea, even the most stubbornly academic, revealing its urgency and heart. She had disdain for the kind of easy irony so many of their classmates relied upon. Just a way to be defensive to shield the heart. What was the point of that? She had a boyfriend, Raj Singh, that visited every week from Yale. He dreamed of bringing portable medical devices to war ravaged countries. The two of them, Lena and Raj, would open their hearts and never turn away. They were dogged, their goodness, a kind of brawn, a kind of ruggedness that's shown in their eyes and through their skin that made them magnetic and a little bit terrifying. Or maybe it was simply because they were beautiful, talented and rich. The way the ad presents it is very first world, Lena acquiesced, but the actual problem is deeper, it's real. Imagine if you wanted to see, to hear, to taste, but you couldn't. It's the same yearning, an elemental human desire. Lena had a hickey on her neck and Elisa kept looking at its red-tinged border. Proximity to Lena felt invigorating like a cosmic tailwind as though Elisa became more beautiful, more honest, more intelligent and altruistic just by sitting next to her on the bed. So she told Marla, that's the movie star, it was an act of radical empathy, the longing for children elemental like the desire for sight. Amazing said Marla. You're so young really to understand that. Marla folded her hands together. She had strangely stubby fingers, nails polished clear. I've wanted a baby for a long time, Marla said. Zach and I both, but it's been tough. I thought it would be okay, my mom had me at 42, but it's not working out. I didn't picture having to go this route, but when I saw your profile, I felt better about it.  Beautiful too, a bonus. It felt like being kissed. The assistant came into the room, her earrings catching that bold LA light. It's two o'clock, she said. Thank you so much for meeting me, Marla said. It might sound cheesy to say it, but motherhood is the role I was born for. I just have to tell you that, Elisa. I have a feeling you already knew. Lena administered the shots twice a day, wiping Elisa's belly with alcohol swabs and plunging the needle into the spot near her belly button. At the end of the treatment, she took a bus to Boston and they took the eggs out, 37 eggs, put her up in a nice hotel where she slept and slept, and then she went back to school, finished her big modernism term paper, took exams and planned her final semester. The money helped. She signed a lease on an apartment in Harlem with two friends, and once there, spent the summer applying for internships and entry level jobs. She bought some interview clothes, shoes made of supple leather that molded to her feet. She procured a summer internship with a literary agent, an elderly woman who rolled her own cigarettes, ate sardines and hated all of her clients. And then in the fall, landed an entry level assistant publicist job at one of the most esteemed publishing houses in the country. The assistants from the various departments all went once a week to happy hour at a bar in Union Square, and Elisa would spend too much money on Sangria and whatever slider or oyster everyone else ordered. And at night, she would sit on her bed, on the sheets she bought at a discount store, tiny lightning bolts across them, and she would feel overwhelmed with it that she had so easily, so simply gotten the life that she had wanted. Even the boy, Ben Rose, that friend of Raj Singh that Lena had introduced her to back in Providence, the boy she'd taken a walk with at midnight and kissed under a cherry tree so pink it looked like a party favor. He'd moved to Harlem also to start medical school at Mount Sinai. And the two of them spent every available hour watching Fellini films, going to publishing or med school parties, and of course, in bed. Winter came and the city went from golden to white, and Ben asked Elisa if she'd move in with him. She hadn't seen this coming.  She had put her hands on this newly, oh, she had put her hands on his newly shaved face, his nose bumpy and honest and nodded, honest looking. That winter she spent a little more of the money on a deposit and moved her lounge chair, her mattress, her many, many books. And she and Ben set up a little home with a terrarium and cinder block bookcases to the ceiling and a little dining room table that they found at a consignment shop near the medical school. Her mother would have been so proud of her if she had lived to see it. She'd always wanted to live in New York, imagined herself at museums, talking about books with sophisticated friends, in outdoor bistros, trains rumbling underfoot. Sometimes when life looked exactly like this fantasy of itself, when Elisa ate muscles with her boss at the French place on the corner and he told her that she would get the promotion, she could feel her mother and her jaw tasting the muscles too. And she would lose track of the conversation and she would see her, her mother with her pale waxy skin, the ears that stuck out too far, never quite covered up by the elaborate hairstyles she favored. Her mother who had put a ghost's hand on Elisa's hand there in the crowded places and make the world go still. Then one Friday, one Friday afternoon she was at the store buying things to cook for dinner when she saw the cover of Us Weekly on the Rack. Marla Miles and Zach Brifton welcome baby girl Carson. She put the groceries on the conveyor belt and stared. Marla and Zach, sunglasses and perfect skin. You couldn't see the baby burritoed up and held to Marla's chest, exclusive photos inside. She took the magazine and dropped it beside the food.  Then she sat down hard on a bench. There was one picture of the baby. She had dark hair, a mild scowl and a heart-shaped face. She hadn't thought this far ahead, which now seems strange, but she hadn't because how could she? She had given them the gift of a baby or had at least contributed something of herself to the baby in exchange for rent. And now this part of her would live a rarefied life in Los Angeles, New York, Paris, a life she hadn't thought to imagine, nannies and infinity pools and friends whose parents were in the industry. Carson could have any horse her heart desired, gorgeous hand-tooled saddles, every area boot. Lena had moved to Los Angeles for med school. Elisa didn't hear from her much anymore. The actress had the baby she texted. Three days later, Lena wrote back, that's great for her. She stuck a thumbs up sign next to it. Elisa threw away the magazine. Thanks. Thank you so much, Robin. So lovely to hear you read that story. Amongst its many other pleasures is when it has sort of almost a noir flavor as well, as in just in the sense that the past never stays in the past, does it? It is always there as for folks who read the story, its entirety will soon learn. Thank you so much, Robin. Before I bring on our last but not our least, certainly not our least of readers for tonight, I just want to quickly want to talk a little bit more about the new issue and I'm holding it up here. As you can see, it has a bevy of wonderful people in it, not only just our contributors here tonight, but folks like Victoria Riddell, Margaret Wilkerson Sexton, Andrew Mangan and others. Also too, and this may be of interest to you, depending on how you feel about the man, but an in-depth interview with Jonathan Franzen, where our contributor, Paul Wilner, a long-time journalist here in the Bay Area, but also a fine poet talked to Franzen at his home near Santa Cruz about his work, about his upcoming novel, and about the idea of the family novel. I'm really, really pleased to have it in here, not just because it delves into the mind of Franzen, but rather I think it's a rather revealing interview, and it's one where there's a lot of back and forth, the sort of thing I don't think you see a lot in too many interviews of these sorts. So well worth your time in checking that out. And also to say one more thing too, next month, October, of course, in San Francisco, there's gonna be a ton of events because of Lequake, our big literary festival that kicks off every October, and we'll be doing a few things as well, but our big event in terms for Zizavaga is concerned, will be October 23rd at Doggird Books at 8 p.m., with a reading with some contributors from current past and recent issues.  But even if you wear a mask, God only knows what's gonna happen in a month or now. But anyway, sitting that aside, assuming everything is okay, and we don't go full Mega Man, the folks who will be there will be D.A. Powell, Mark and Wilkerson-Suckston, Vanessa Waugh, well, Jonathan Escaffery will be there, and one more, of course, because I can't remember anything anymore, but it's gonna be a lot of fun. So please, please come and check that out. It's always a good time. And just to see people again in person will also be wonderful, which reminds me to say quickly to you, Robin, hopefully Zizavaga will take our traveling show up to Portland. Again, it's been a while because of COVID, but when we do, I hope sometime next year, maybe around the Portland Book Festival, it'll be nice to say hi and to see you again. Okay, so our final reader for the night is Mark Lobowski. Mark is a, I hope I get this right, he is a Jones lecturer down at Stanford. He is also, oh boy, let me hold on one second. Here I go. He's also a former Wallace Stegner fellow at Stanford. I get that confused on how you, I think you have to be a Stegner first, then you get to be a Jones. But Mark will tell us. He's also the host and curator of the Stanford Storytelling Project podcast called Off the Page. And I hope Mark talks a little bit about that, which spotlights the work of Stanford writers. And in the family issue, we published his story, Wool, which as I talked about before, rather I think it goes rather nicely with Robbins. So will you please welcome Mark Lobowski. Thank you, Oscar. You know, actually, funnily enough, that podcast has somewhat mysteriously disappeared from the internet recently. I'm trying to investigate that. They're like the most recent, like the five last episodes we did are on SoundCloud, but they're like 25 to 30 others that have disappeared. And I'm trying to figure out what happened to them. So thank you, Oscar, and Anissa for organizing this and for inviting me to read with my fellow contributors. I really enjoyed listening to these pieces. This piece that I'm gonna read the beginning of the story, which is about a sperm donor, although in the opening few pages, you don't technically learn that, but you see that there's this guy who seems to have this special connection to the daughter of this couple that he's visiting. And it sort of subsequently becomes clear that he is her biological father. So I'm just gonna read the first few pages of the story called WoL. Martin exits I-89 before he needs to and progresses town by town. He keeps pulling over to eyeball a fiery spruce or an outcropping of Micah, admire quaint ends with ivy wreathed around their vacancy signs and crumbling breweries offering hard apple cider tastings. He's eager to reach Tunbridge, but knows anticipation is the greatest pleasure. He stops to buy a mason jar of corn whiskey from a sweet old man on a porch, thinking how happy he'll be once he reaches Lola and Dot's barn. Then realizing his spirits are at that point where they're in danger of toppling over into confusion or sadness, he drinks two beers in a gloomy pub. The people here are not part of the world of ivied ends and apple cider tastings. Their leathery and anonymous faces raised mutely to the TV and Martin feels comfortable among them, alone and unseen. Somewhere Diana Ross sings, I'm gonna make you love me. It's nearly midnight by the time he arrives. He pries himself free of the car, walks through a hedge and ends up on grass nibbled to a crew cut. He shivers in his jeans and Wonder Woman T-shirt. This is his third time up to the barn in the 13 months Lola and Dot have lived here, his first without Eli. Martin, a beam of light bounces up and Dot's voice, nervy and excitable, the voice of a mom who still holds her 12 year old's hand while crossing an intersection, finds him. I miss the exit. He wraps her up and finds he doesn't wanna let go. Then it was miles before I could turn around, miles and miles on the lonely road. She disentangles, Ginger's asleep. On a Friday, her bedtime's still 10. I see, he puts his hands on his hips.  Well, Ginger's asleep and it wouldn't hurt to show an interest in the animals. I feel instantly at peace, he says to Dot's back as they round the barn. This is like coming to a spa for me, getting away from the noise and dirt and chaos of the city, breathing country air. Jesus, what's wrong with his voice? Why does it sound so plummy? It was like this when he first came to New York, trying so hard to mask his Kentucky drawl that people thought he was British. It's not a spa for me, Dot says. I have a thousand things to do every day, but I love it, you know? The whole day gets used up. She unlatches the flaky set of doors and they step into the part of the 1919 Sears robot barn that's still a barn. A chorus of bleeds and moans abruptly dies down and the roaming flashlight picks out aggrieved and amused faces, turning from what might be private conversations. Joe, Matilda, Titania, Galadriel, Ginger got to name them all. Two, Martin doesn't know which they are, have been shorn, their heads lumpy and desolate atop naked throats. Don't they look sad, he says? The Angoras, yeah, it was time. Wait till you see the house. Dot completes an inspection of the alcove, then pivots, expecting Martin to follow. The four goats gaze at him, like they're waiting for this intruder to offer them something. One of the shaven relents and ambles forward to nudge him with her forehead. Martin scratches the back of her neck, touches the dry nubs on her head where her horns were locked off in infancy. Her rectangular eyes meet his own with equanimity. Titania's headed for auction tomorrow, Dot says. This is Titania, I've got here. No, that's Matilda. Titania's one of the Nubians. White nose, pancake ears. Ah, yes. Why droopy ears shrouding a rabid face? She looks all right to me. She's a peach, Dot says. That's why I can sell her for more than I paid last year. Then we get the floors refinished. Dot always has a plan. Standing in muck boots and army navy surplus jacket, chunky black bangs over a lightly pockmarked face, she makes Martin feel languid and spoiled in his campy t-shirt. When Lola first introduced Martin to Dot 15 years ago, they shared a formal, slightly embarrassed, mutual regard. Martin admired her risk compassion, her way of enlarging whomever she was speaking to via the particular intensity of her concentration. Also the tattoos of sea anemones and roses crawling up her arms and down her cleavage. Dot, for her part, had been cowed by Martin's longstanding friendship with Lola, whose moods she was still trying to interpret. During their brief early breakup, Lola had sat for hours on Martin's fire escape in the hideous, brilly nightgown inherited from her hated mother, smoking like a junkie in recovery, enumerating all of Dot's microscopic flaws. She was insecure about her grammar. She under tipped. She made fun of the acting in Lola's beloved Ozu films. Martin defended Dot.   Now she clicks off the flashlight, signaling to Martin it's time. How is she? He asks as they leave the barn. She's fine, Dot says. The same as always, only more so. She's been getting more online tutoring students which is great. She looks at him. Wait, who are we talking about? Ginger, Martin says. Oh, she's good. As he nears the illuminated kitchen door, she says, you're stuck. They return to his car. Dot grabs his suitcase. He grabs the corn whiskey and assortment of Ronafelt tea bags he's collected from hotels and airport club lounges. Espresso beans coated in chocolate and cannabis, these he pockets. And for Ginger, a small purple digital camera. Right before they enter the house, Dot adds. I mean, she's 12, what can I say? Her main mission in life is to make me feel sad all the time. Then she unleashes a burst of laughter. I can hardly wait for the teenage years.  He greets him when he enters the hot, bright kitchen. Lola and Sadie bear down. Sadie's nails clacking on the tiled floor. Lola medusa hair wearing sneakers. And yes, it's true, the same ancient nightgown dotted with pastel blue figs. The kitchen suggests a losing battle with the forces of chaos. Books, mail and notepads are stacked up on the table. Mugs and dishes line the counter that borders three quarters of the room. Sweaters and scarves in festive shades dangle from wire hangers attached to cabinets, exposed beams and pipes. Two deep sinks hold knotted masses of wool soaking in cloudy water. On the stove, a cauldron bubbles. Wrong exit, wrong exit, Martin pleads as Sadie invades his crotch. Where's Eli, Lola asks. She hugs him, not noticing the gifts she crushes against his chest.  Lowering the flame under the cauldron. It shouldn't be boiling. There's a deadline for some kind of fellowship or grant approaching, Martin says. Some kind of starving artist pesos. This was within the realm of truth. Eli was always deciding at the last minute that he was good enough to apply for such things. Still, Martin hopes Lola will call him on his lie. Will drag the truth into the light just as she once took him by the hand and dragged him down Avenue B back when he was newly arrived, 27, but barely out of the closet. Instead, she inspects his offerings.  It's a shame you're so late. Are you starving? I'll stop there. Thank you. Thank you so much, Mark. That was lovely. Well, folks, that's it. Let me just, first of all, thank everyone who came out to attend. Also, I believe this will be recorded. So it'll be available later, but we appreciate the fact that you're with us here now. I just wanted to, again, thank all of our readers, Mark, Robin, Andrew and Bethany. By the way, I wanted to add this about Bethany. Her book is coming out October 12th and you should know the New York Times said it's one of the 20 books to read this fall. So there you go. You cannot disobey the New York Times, as we know. That's not permitted. So pre-order that, PSA, by the way, please pre-order all your books for the fall. Here tell, there's a shortage of paper shortage out there and things, if you don't get them now and or you don't claim one now, you're probably not gonna get it later. So, you know, if ever there was a reason to just go ahead and pre-order and help out some folks, and really not really helping them, you're also helping yourself out. It's not like you're getting nothing for goodness sakes. You're getting a wonderful book. You know, now is the time to do that. And one more thing, my memory finally kicked in. Our fifth reader is the wonderful Gabriela Garcia. She'll be joining us too on October 23rd. So, thank you everyone. And thank you so much, the San Francisco Public Library. Honestly, what would the city be without you? Not a very good one. Oh, thank you, Oscar. That's very sweet. So I did throw in the links for everything as was going on. And friends, I will throw this down one more time and you can share this on YouTube, like Oscar said. And all the links that they mentioned and links to Zizba, links to our speakers are all in there. And we wanna thank you all tonight and authors. Congratulations on everything you do and for sharing it with the library community. All right, friends, have a wonderful evening until we see you again. Bye. Thank you. Oh, we're no longer on the air.


I'm Murray Dobbin from Tele Resources Engineering in Australia. I had the privilege of moderating the session on writing the data wave in the first panel sessions of ITU Telecom World 2013. We had a very energetic debate amongst the panellists. The focus was a lot on just whether government should or should not be involved in facilitating the growth of mobile and fixed broadband in various nations in Asia and around the world. One of the highlights, if you like, of the session from my point of view was the contribution from Career Telecom which described, in fact, the work that they were doing with an African nation where they were deploying an advanced LTE network within, if you like, almost a clear slate of a country that had no broadband access in the past and was now getting the latest technology. Importantly, they were offering as a wholesale business facilitating that of retail networks to write on. They were not overconfident, they were getting their money back quickly, but they were certainly interested in as a social experiment. Overall, I felt that the session was very interactive amongst the panellists and contributed to the overall focus of ITU Telecom World 2013. Thank you very much.


Young people, well, first of all, interest, and that the people that care about this, that already have experience, that already have a good institutional base, approach these young people that are interested. They have the enthusiasm, they have the will, they know that it's important, but they might not know all the little details. And then people with experience can help young people focus their efforts correctly in things like restoration. I think you need to do it in a fun way, because the reason why youth are being called out of rural areas is because now we have so many distractions. With the internet, we see there's all these cool things in the cities and not in rural areas. We need to find a way to make this integration between generations fun and to make agriculture and nature fun for everyone. Something that is attractive that people want to do. What I've actually learned from the older people in my family is that we need to change and that a lot of these changes are not happening because we just don't have the will because we have very, very internally ingrained habits. And I think the new generation is paying attention to this and this is changing. But there's a lot of resistance from the older generation to make these changes. I think it's very important that you have local species that you are using because what I've seen in the field a lot is that you introduce species that might be regionally local but they're not adapted to the specific region, which this can happen a lot in mountainous regions where soil and climate can change quite quickly.  At least in the case of Mexico where we've had experience, local communities notice that the plants that other institutions bring, they have a higher mortality rate and when they start experimenting with the seeds from their trees in that land they have a much higher survival rate. In the case of seeds in Mexico, there is a lot of exchange of seeds traditionally. Communities have done this for a very long time. That's why we are the center of origin for so many important agricultural species, especially corn. Corn is so relevant for all the world. And it's very important to strengthen that communities continue to do this and they are not influenced by the seeds that are provided by government and external companies that in many times they can have a greater yield but at the cost of losing diversity and we know with climate change and with all these changes that we have to adapt to having diversity is super important. So first of all I would say those economic incentives, you can focus them on conservation through for example payment for ecosystem services or whatever else there is. And in the case of restoration, I think you can give youth and young people a chance to have a good job that means something and that is economically viable for them. So I think here there's a big opportunity to involve youth when I was doing my thesis in Paraguay, I compared how different land uses interact and one of the land uses was a restoration project and it was interesting to see that the farmers were interested in restoration and in trees because wood was getting very expensive in the region so they would want forest in the land for their cattle and that was very interesting because cattle as we know it's a very important deforestation driver but in this case it was a reason to keep some forest in their land. So I think it's very important that we see this, how different land uses compete or how they can have synergies even if they're not obvious at first.


Russian Grandmaster Daniel Yufa joins us in our studio with an impressive win with the Black Pieces. Daniel, 2 out of 2, a good start. Pleased with the result but also the quality of the games? Frankly speaking, I'm quite pleased with the result because last year I just managed to score one and a half after two rounds but now I started 2 out of 2 and I'm expecting a very interesting game tomorrow probably against one of the top seeds. It's also important in these open tournaments to start well so that you're able to play these top seeds in the middle? Well, the main thing is just to score full points against the lower rated players. Personally, my main goal is just to show good quality chess. And with the Black Pieces, when you have that sort of an aim to try and win every game, what's the approach when you're playing somebody who's lower rated than you? Because today you complicated it quite quickly. Yeah, but I'm not an expert with playing with Black Pieces. I have much worse statistics playing with Black instead of playing with White. But today I was lucky because maybe I've received the position I've been dreaming about after move 12 because after Queen D3, so maybe Bishop D3 king H1, I've been preparing for this very popular alliance in either Bishop D6, Bishop D2, Knight D7, Knight D5. So it's more or less, I can't say that it's a well-known position but several games have been played there. I took on D5 and what do I mean when I say I had received the dream position? So I have my favorite King's Indian structure and well, usually when I have this kind of structure I'm quite satisfied about the opening. Yeah, so C4 and then A5. So an idol that converted into a King's Indian structure? Yeah, so I was very pleased with the results of the opening. So Rkc1 and probably, yeah, c1 is not the best spot for the rook because the main point that after A4, Knight e1, well, the Knight is situated a bit. Strangely, yeah, it's awkward place for Knight. Knight c5, Queen h3, Knight e4. The point that I'm trading the Black-colored Bishops and White's pair of Bishops just wastes. So you just want to go Bishop g5 next and get rid of your bad piece? Knight c2, White took on e3, Queen e3 also, White lost a lot of tempos playing like Queen h3, Queen e3 back. Knight a3, f4 and I have just a crushing attack probably just permanently winning position. It looks like you got everything and White really didn't create any chances at all here? Yeah, yeah, so once again I don't want to repeat myself but I received like an improved King's Indian defense. I have the crushing attack, I have very nice pair of Knights blocking Knight on c5, Knight on e4 is quite good. Like obviously this piece has to be improved like quite. I mean instantly Knight b5, Rf6, yeah, Queen a3, the one very small and cute thing that if like let's say Queen h4, preventing like Rh6 ideas, I think I've calculated something like f3, the point that if Bishop takes and I play Knight d2 and unlike Knight f3 and Rg6 is a threat. Yeah, but the position is winning and after Rg6, Rc2, I played Queen h4 and the point, first of all I didn't see, I mean I realized that my position is winning but I didn't see the solution and after b4, Knight b3 came and yeah. This is a really beautiful move actually, so what was after a b3? Yeah, I'm playing Queen h3. So you cut off the Queen from the third rank. I think I've saw one of this idea, yeah in a lot of games I think Hikar and Kamuro had something similar in King's Indian and the point that after Knight b3, let's say if White is trying to protect the second rank like playing f3 still, I mean there is no chance to escape because like now I'm cutting over Rook so it's a funny position like Queen has cut it off and Rook has cut it off and White is simply winning. These two Knights first on c5, e4 and then on b3, d2 really make White's life very difficult. But this is quite interesting and after Queen h3 actually there's just no way to defend against the mate. Yeah let's, Bishop e3, I take the Bishop and g3, then Rook h6 and there is no defense unfortunately for White. Yeah and after Knight b3, I was a bit inaccurate because like after Bishop e3 I played Knight d2 but that was an inaccuracy, yeah because I mean I allowed Rook takes d2, Knight d2, Rook d1. Obviously I take on c4, play Rook c8, the position is winning but instead of playing Knight e d2 maybe Knight g5 was more accurate and more precise. Oh and in fact he resigned on Knight d2. Yeah well I had 35 minutes against 30 seconds, 13 more moves. Yeah I can take on c4 and play Rook c8 I think at least I can take on f3. It looks really bad for White anyway. Well a really nice aggressive attacking game and I'm sure that's a good warm up for the rounds to come and the other thing that you've been doing for warming up has been playing a little bit of piano in the hotel bar. Yeah that's true I used to play piano for a long period of time in my life. I finished the musical school but like the last couple of years I didn't have a lot of practice so I hope it wasn't that weird. And usually when I play piano during the tournaments it somehow helped me to feel some kind of confidence and I'm trying to play as artificial as I'm playing the piano. I mean I'm trying to create these kind of games like maybe, well I can't say that this game was like 100% artificial but still I was inspired and played a normal attacking game. Well that's very creative and inspired chess over the board like you said. We look forward to having you more at the piano but also more at chess and thank you for your time. Thank you.


Welcome folks happy 2024 here we go down investors right now down 87 Aztecs off 304 S&P's down 50 gold gold contract on $2.20 straight in the 2069 notes we have silver off 19 cents 23 dollars 89 cents an ounce light sweet crew down a buck 13 $70 52 cents a barrel notes and bonds you get the 10-year note trading down 19 ticks at 1209 the 30 year old full point plus four ticks at 123 26 you get the 10 year right now yielded 3.942 and our low last week was 3.794 and King dollar King dollars in a nice little counter share and balance up 865 ticks 102 198 Euro 109 yen at 141 British pound at 126 to 1 US dollar we get over and take a look at the spine what you're gonna see out here folks is that they snuck it in on Friday last Friday bottom line before we kicked off the the new year this S&P came down on volume look at that volume man so you you made the turn come down on volume that's saying that yeah you do have game now coming into where we were so we're 470 you know that 460 the 464 464 is game right in there we'll see how this shakes out so the volume is not that heavy today compared to Friday that's for sure Friday is 123 million we did 63 million but I suspect you're gonna probably go after approximately this 406 407 area and we'll see what ends up happening at the volume at that particular point we take a look at the queues the same type of setup in the queues now the queues didn't come down as much volume on Friday we yet we're doing 40 million right now we did about 40 million on Friday now you're the queues you are breaking that swing with lighter volume that well actually 54 now we could do 14 million we'll see if it most yeah we'll do 14 million so the queues can get a little bit deeper here meaning that we're 400 that 391 basically looks like game we go into the 10-year note we take a look at the 10-year note 10-year note out here we're down 19 ticks you get 1.2 million contracts traded now that's coming into some big numbers that's not going to go a lot lower stay right there folks come right back

I do have Think we are able to fix it Please let me know if you can hear me better than you could earlier and if it's coming through the podcast Audio at this point Much better. Thank you perfect. Sorry so much How am I am I am I sounding pretty good Burgos? I can hear you well in my earphones Nikki much better. Sorry all sorry. We've decided to do this in the middle of this flight Which I know sucks, but we want you to see these ladies 30 attempts. It's really important. This is 92 kilos for Lindsay Her second attempt Man, she is like super built to squat short legs long torso Powerhouse. Yeah, for sure awesome squatter Okay, much better. So I'll share with share the new link as you could I know Teresa had a friend out there watching she had her second attempt It was a little slow, but she powered away through it really really well Allison's our next lifter at 95 kilos She is one for one so far today. This will be trying to stay perfect for the day 209 okay Nice smooth walk back good setup Really nice squat looks very good. It's gonna be three white lights. I'm sure great lift Gonna go up a kilo to 96 96 kilos here for Kelly coming up 211 212 pounds somewhere that ballpark Kelly is another strength parlor lifter had a lot of lifters on the platform here for this first squat Bar's loaded for Kelly 212 pounds for her And her first attempt was good. Oh boy. Just our first miss of the day Good catch by the spotters spotters good job lifter She can probably come back and get that she shot back to her heels pretty hard if she can stay on midfoot and drive through She'll be fine It's actually you'll see a lot of times people shoot forward to their toes the way to get forward Her's did the opposite right she got back on her heels the weight shifted back So she'll really leaned over. It's an unpleasant time You're really leaning over no matter what on squats So I realized now that people can hear us they didn't hear any of the earlier jokes So now much great stuff earlier. We get to do it even better. That's right. It's like a second take One clarification that I think might have gotten missed is that we are doing four lifts today This is the combination of strength lifting and power lifting which means after the squat We're gonna go into the press and then we'll bench and then we'll dev let All right, here comes. Thank you all for sticking with us through the technical difficulties Hopefully, this is a lot more enjoyable for you for the rest of the day. Yay good sound Good video quality here Amy took us all the way up to 235 pounds for a second attempt little shaky on her walkout Set herself. Well Really good Especially for as difficult as the walk back looked yeah Nice job Fun place to hit a PR.  This is what makes competing fun So pretty big jump here in weight We're going up to 250 pounds for the next one. So I mean, it's pretty big pretty big real For Marissa France 250 pounds from Marissa France She actually made a massive jump her first lift was 90 kilos and she jumped to 113 She's like, all right, I'm not I'm done messing around. Yeah, she probably had those took that first attempt nerves So we're gonna get to see her actually Really push on some weight here There we go. There we go. Nice spot back angle didn't change at all throughout the whole lift nice and deep These went out hard. That was great really solid lift for her dramatically changes the math now for best lifter shoots all sudden jumps into The competition for this Notably lightweight lifter pretty good squat right there Bar is a and a Liko power bar. So those you asking what bars it's Yeah, it's like a thousand dollar power bar Feels nice as well where it's really nice. It's gonna come in handy as the deadlift Because I think it's about a half millimeter smaller than the typical power bars. It's a 28 and a half I think all right of a 29 Starting the third attempt with us Maggie for 45 here. She crushed her second attempt This will be her third at 45 I expect her to get this No problem. She left some on the platform Nice Very nice lift Is that beautiful Andrew Jackson the low right-hand corner of the screen said to find jawline That's a giga Chad jawline going on there today It's more defined than a lot of our biceps are glorious And just on the edge to the left side of the screen you see Bjorn with his beautiful giant beard in the Pacific Northwest Up at next level barbell with Jordan Stanton Here we go Laurel third attempt is at 154 pounds 70 kilos Definitely over her body weight Nice squat. Good job. I was very clean again. Yeah held the back angle You can see a little tiny sticking point about a third of the way up and she powered right through it. No problem at all I don't know who this guy is but he also has nice beard nice jawline He looks like one of these guys that could grow. He's got a five o'clock shadow by like 930 in the morning The spotter here like sneezes and get a five o'clock shadow. I hit testosterone when he was seven Like he was just like oh, I hit puberty at seven everybody by the way if that guy's parents are watching I'm sorry and also congratulations For making a high testosterone baby. All right, Teresa taking her third attempt at 74 kilos a hundred and sixty three pounds To go three for three on squats again the beautiful golden white shoes Did a good job breaking her a little she got a little bit over but she powered through it nice job That's gonna be three for three on squats for her Squats with three for three Nice job Teresa great job Little known fact about Andrew and those jeans is they're not actually jeans with jeggings He has to purchase shoes Andrews In the chat they were saying the thing about Andrew is that it's 30% spandex built in Lucius. In fact, they're actually 90% Is there I mean other jeans are really unacceptable jeans without spandex. What is that even yeah like the raw I have a pair of like raw denim jeans you ever put on a pair of those I bet Hamburg is like those are the only kind of jeans don't wear they should have plywood in that right like 1905 Got 165 on the bar here Again for three for three going for a three for three day on squat Nice, so let's walk through what happened there. So she as she got down into the bottom She did a great job of powering through this The knees came in right and she got to that sticking point nice job Sticky point came in and she got knee valgus and these came in kind of stopped her where she was she powered through Kept driving up driving up And then you could see the knees come out halfway up and then it I like I could tell she knew what she was doing and she was annoyed that she was doing it Yeah, and she fixed it.  Yeah, that was great great PR. Oh, it's great Yeah bars loaded here for Chelsea at 77 kilos that's 170 pounds for her So also be for a three for three day for a perfect squat day for Chelsea if she can finish this one It's like a pause squat little pause squat there So I'm just gonna hang out down here in the bottom for a second about things for a minute Just ponder what I'm gonna do next white lights. Nice job And we get the celebration So this is Denise at 92 That was Chelsea. Oh Again, this is Denise we were saying probably before you could hear us this is actually Cody's first client at the strength parlor She's been with him for years 203 pounds for Denise Miller's client here taking her time on the walk back There Waiting for the judges signals are watching to get it back in can she control the bar she does White light white light. We're good That's a good look at a baby. Nice job. I think that's a Liko bar is actually a little bit Shorter well, it's got the little call so that's got the little thin collars It looks like an Olympic weightlifting bar like the way those collar, you know the piece of the collar between The sleeve where the weight goes on and the bar itself like the literal collar is very very thin It's like it may be a half a centimeter and so it makes the bar it is the bars a little shorter Even though the actual bar itself is the same length as other bars and the sleeves are the same length It's actually the collar portion that's narrower So it makes the overall length of the bar a little bit shorter. That makes sense It's engineering for the win got two hundred twelve pounds here for Randy Becker Two twelve drive drive drive drive drive drive. Nice job. Nice work 96 kilos here she missed it on her second attempt This is also two hundred twelve pounds. She's trying to come back to hit her third after a miss at this weight on her second She's got a grind through in the bottom drive drive drive drive. Yeah, see She's the one that got back on the heels and she fixed it and it actually wasn't that hard of a squat once she kept Was able to perform Way to come back Nice come back squat. Good job Exciting to see you want to see people end on a high note on the squat you can really Really test your mindset the squad if you do not have a good squad day that can really Screw you up for the rest of me or you can you have to do your best to put any missed attempts behind you Yeah, go on or honestly even a made attempt, right? So I talked to my clients a lot you also can't be too crazy about celebrating the PR like when it's over It's over. We got to move to the next one This is 220 pounds here for Lindsay again. She's just had picture perfect form all day There's a perfect example of holding her back Exactly in the same her back angle didn't change a bit. She hits the sticking point She doesn't change anything and she just was patient and got through the middle Really good squat for her This is gonna be a 225 pound squat for Allison coming up Also, she's been two for two so far so this would be three for three on the squat for the day Bar is loaded for her there we go 225 For a little bit. I was able to control Not let the weight get away from her. Good So Marissa opened at 90 kilos jump to 113 for a second So massive massive jump from first to second is now Yeah, I've gone to 118. I Expect her to hit this. I don't think it'll be a problem for that though her last one wasn't too tough But she's gonna have to grind a little probably on this This is the time to grind that's right 247 pounds for her She's also a master's lifter. She's over 40. I have no idea what she is She didn't look over 40. So my guess is it's pretty close Change 62. This is Amy at 112. I was getting ahead of myself Amy at 112 here at five five kilo jump for Amy This is the 247 second to last lifter in the flight really controlled squat Textbook looking squat the walkout look like the hardest part.

We're good back to just a Nikki solo for a little bit Jacob Jacob's here at 140 kilos nice and deep Love to start with a weight for your opener that you're very confident about something you've been training before Really don't want to be thrown off by your opener. So that's why We'll see everybody hit some pretty smooth starts here for the first Attempts and then we like to see you get a little more spicy in the second and some people will game it differently They might want to only plan for two attempts with open a little bit heavier Again something you know, they they can hit and then maybe they'll go for a PR and for the number They really want to hit on their second attempt so that if they need to repeat it for the third They have the opportunity to do so All right come up next Anthony 162 kilos He's a master competitor Judges give it away And everybody is really easy to judge today so far In depth everyone's controlling the bar very well Here comes another strength parlor lifter his name is Alexander first competition for him His opener is at a hundred and sixty five kilos that's three hundred and sixty his belt is amazing Well done Alex Super intense so important to have your upper back really tight for these squats You can see people have varying degrees Shoulder extension, which is how much their elbows are raised to create a good shelf for the bar Some people will have their thumbs wrapped some people will keep the thumb outside Both are allowed in this competition as long as your palm is touching the bar All right, this is Jeff he is a client of Andrew Jackson. This is Jeff's first Meet Tina's wife who here from Washington, DC She's here in attendance as well.

She's jumped all the way up to 113, which is 249 pounds And she's in the lightweight division, which is 140 pounds and under Oh, here we go. She's fiery what you got to do to get yourself in the zone Really good at timing that bounce hitting the depth and not letting the bounce draw her out of position She uses its driver up above depth and then she can really power it through the top very nice All right, here comes Madison Madison's here at 115. Her first attempt was 107. Good depth, good control. Super solid All right, I can see Colleen now Here she comes to a bar. Her bar is loaded to 122 kilos 268 pounds She gets a nice and low. There's a little bit to how low you can put it. It can't be Any more than three centimeters below your posterior deltoid. People are pretty darn low Can see her knees stayed in a consistent location. Maybe the slidiest slidiest bit of wanting to cave, but she stood in control the whole time It's it's definitely an art with singles to maintain your position even when it gets slow So It takes practice not to get panicked And just to hold your presence trust in your practice and keep pushing the bar up towards the ceiling. That was a good demonstration All right, here comes Sonia again. She's now at 286 pounds She must I think she's saving it up for a PR for her third attempt She opened at 128 and this is month 30 It's about the same speed as the opener which Sometimes I could wig you out, but sometimes it's good to know that if it felt a little slow in your opener And if the same speed for your second attempt, that's still great All right, Katie's next she's taken us over the 300 mark at 304, which is 138 kilos Here she comes a little bit.

He's in trouble He was ready for the challenge He got white he got white. All right. He's happy about that Like maybe he wasn't sure for a minute there Spotters and loaders are crushing it The loaders are the real heroes of these meats. They move so much weight throughout the whole day For every single lifter they're probably changing the bar height Weight's coming on weight's coming off. They've got a big job big round of applause for these guys Okay, here comes joshua We're again at 175 kilos up five kilos from his first attempt. Looks like it was crushed What do the judges say?

He's taken us to 407 pounds just 185 kilos I think this is going to be a pr for him His quad pr was 375, which I think he might have crushed his opener. So this will definitely be a nice pr for him.  Andrew is relieved Big pr big pr Here we are. We're going back to the top of the flight Angelica's waiting. She's excited She's going to take us to 264 pounds 120 kilos Here we go Angelica She took a seven kilo jump 113 to 120 She walked it out pretty far there. Where's her bounce? Where's her bounce?

This is a great meet so far Shake it off nice There's gonna be a lot of strategizing here for the third attempt some people want to come into a meet and know For sure they want to get nine out of nine They want to get every single attempt until the plate a little more conservatively Others will decide to really go for something special and they'll be ready to miss it, but they're going to give it their heart Here comes james.

Hello everyone and thanks for joining us for this second installment of the final demos for the Jenkins Google Summer of Code 2020. Let me share my screen. Okay, I believe you can see my screen. Let's start the presentation. Okay, all right. So today is the second installment. We had demos yesterday and we have demos today. So first of all, Jenkins has been participating in the Google Summer of Code this year and there will be a short introduction to that. Then we're going to have the demonstrations by our students of the work they accomplished, the work they accomplished during this program and we're going to have Q&A at the end of every presentation as well as at the end. So this is our fourth year in Google Summer of Code. We started in 2016 and we have grown ever since. There's actually thousands and thousands of students who have participated in the overall program. It's the largest open-source program in existence and we're very proud to participate in the Google Summer of Code. This year, the Jenkins organization had 20 different project ideas that were proposed by the community and we accepted seven students for the program this year and they've been working hard with their mentors on their projects for the past four months and today where the students are presenting their work. So the projects this year are the ones shown on your monitor, the custom Jenkins distribution service, Git plugin performance improvements, GitHub checks for Jenkins plugins, machine learning plugins for data science, Jenkins Windows services, YAML config support, external fingerprint storage and Jenkins X apps add-ons consolidation. You're going to find the details of these projects on the link provided at the bottom of the slide so we invite you to visit those pages and we want to thank our students for participating this year, Kezi, Rishabh, Logi, Putika, Sumit, Zikwan and Sladin. We want to also thank our dedicated mentors who have helped the students along the way. We want to thank everybody who participated in the chat rooms, in the mailing list, as subject matter experts, giving advice, giving community feedback, helping our students. Thank you very much and thank you also to the org admins for organizing the program this year. You can find more resources as I mentioned earlier on our website. We have recordings of the JSOC meetings. You can find them on YouTube. We have blog posts about the different, students have written blog posts about their progress. You can find that on the Jenkins IO blog and these slides are available on the link you see. Final demos is yesterday and today so we're on the second day of the final demos. Here's the link to the abstracts and the links to the demos and we're going to skip to part two yesterday. These are the demos we had. Let's skip to part two or day two and today we're going to have a presentation by Logi on machine learning plugins for data science. The next one is going to be Jenkins Windows Services YAML config support followed by external fingerprint storage and then Jenkins X application add-ons consolidation. All right, would anyone like to add anything before we start? I would like to just thank all contributors because we had a lot of awesome projects this year. All of them have delivered key changes to the Jenkins system. There is a lot of highly anticipated features for users. There are also architecture changes which help us to move the project forward. From an awkward perspective, it was a great year because everything was working really well and thanks a lot to everyone who made it possible. Thanks Oleg. Well, I'm ready to hand this over for the first demo of this session.


Next one is a high gansao. So we have the low gansao and the high gansao. High gansao is also called a zham sao, which means a chop with a knife. So in the form we see the high gansao like this. You are chopping into the dummy. So the low gansao is when we are doing the chop on the outside of the dummy with your arm. So the high gansao is on the outside, and the low gansao is also on the outside. So the high gansao is on the outside, and the low gansao is on the outside as well.


This is one of the largest plastic recycling plants in the United States. It is in Fayetteville, North Carolina. Jay Chilton is head of the plant. On an average week we receive anywhere from one to one and a half million pounds of bottles into the plant. We receive eight to ten trucks a day coming into the plant and a truckloads roughly 40,000 pounds. That is more than 18 thousand kilograms of plastic every day. These bales on average are about 900 pounds. They can range anywhere from 600 pounds to 1500 pounds in this configuration. This is accumulation of roughly 10 to 15 weeks of deliveries. Nearly three football fields of plastic sit just a short ride from the processing center. Your front-end load washing machine at your house is just a lot longer and a lot bigger. Then the plastic is broken into what the recycling industry calls flakes. Kind of like your flower sifter at home where you're sifting out the big chunks of flour. Large storage areas hold the flakes before they are sent to another center which will make them into something new. We will show you that next step in our final report on recycling. I'm Mario Ritter.


Welcome to one of the best Kobe Bryant stories that you've ever heard. As you know on this channel we like to go through old interviews, podcasts, clips and piece everything up together, finding the little stories and making it into one big story. This one of Kobe Bryant and Wilson Chandler is a gem. A lot of effort did get put into this video so I really hope you do enjoy it. I don't want to keep you guys waiting, the one thing I love for you to do if you do enjoy this video by the end of it is help me up hitting that like button. If you do enjoy it as well and you think you would enjoy more you should hit that subscribe button and I don't want to keep you guys waiting so without further ado welcome to the day Kobe Bryant taught rookie Wilson Chandler a lesson and dropped 60 on him.  I think it was when Kobe had that 61. Like I'm sitting here watching and I'm like yo he's not stopping. It's a competition, my mission is to destroy it. When I came, look I would say coming into league I felt like I was an offensive score right? You know in high school coming I was a score.   At some point I know you're tired because people don't understand score buckets like that take energy. So how do you continue to just like go because I was in New York when you got to 60. The previous game the Knicks have been tentative and apprehensive against these elite teams but right now becoming a good home team so the home cooking has given them confidence and they must continue to exude that confidence against the Lakers. Andrew Bynum we just lost the game before. You got an injury against Memphis right? So I'm like we just lost to the Celtics in 0-8 but think we got Andrew is going to make a big difference for us. Now he goes down, we don't know how long he's going to be out for.   So it was important to get into that mind frame of no nothing matters and I don't want to talk to nobody I don't want to see the celebrities on the sideline don't dat me don't say hi to me I don't care about none of y'all tonight. Yeah you just focused. That was it. Was that also part of like you was coming into the garden and everybody loved to play well in Madison Square Park? Not that game. It didn't matter. No it was beard in that. Like it was about us winning the championship. Like my guys were deflated and it was like no we're going we're getting it done. I understand Andrew Hatt sucks but we got to keep on moving and I had to find that space. I didn't go out to dinner in New York, I stayed in my room. This is actually the story Rob told that he got confused about the Heath Ledger stuff. I remember just a really quick story there was one time when Kobe who I worked with for 18 years was going back to play Madison Square Garden and he had just seen The Dark Knight. Obviously you guys saw that movie and he's like hey hook me up with dinner with Heath Ledger because he got so locked in to that role. I want to know how he mentally went there. And so he had dinner with Heath and he talked about how he locks in for a role and Kobe used some of that in his game against the Knicks. Yeah because I stayed up watching Batman and watching Heath Ledger and I went and started researching about Heath Ledger and how he got into character and how he just became all-consuming. I was like that inspired me to go into my garden mode while I go in there. I don't want to say hi to the Jan I don't want to say hi to these people. I don't want to talk to nobody. What? Everybody leave me alone. Well the channel was a huge rookie then. Yeah.  Yeah it was.  I'm like damn. A movie? Yeah it was a movie. For real from day to day it was like you know with the newspapers the media it was just like that's what I was saying like for a young fellas like this is the league. This is the league. Growing up I never watched a lot of basketball outside with my grandma but when Kobe started playing when he got drafted I would faithfully watch. I would watch all Kobe games so that I kind of grew up like out alive with Kobe so that's he's my he's my mic with Jordan like how people like had this nostalgic thing with Mike with Jordan. That's what Kobe is to me. Crazy. I mean we started the game off as shits. I'm coming out the bench at the time so he's killing. As we get underway here at the garden. See the Laker bench is all standing I guess until they make a hoop. Kobe Bryant. And now they will take a seat. Right on. Lakers the number one scoring team in the league. Kobe Bryant. It's a three he's two for two. Kobe Bryant's three for three. Now Bryant like many of the elite players whether it was Michael Jordan or LeBron James. And now with Kobe Bryant they love to play at the garden. All players will say that. Shot clock winding now Bryant comes to the basket. I'm looking. I'm looking at Dan Tony. He looking down kind of like this. I don't want to go in the game today. I sliced down. He called me go in so when I go in it's all good. I score like quick 10 12 points. Chandler drives on one tough shot puts it in. The fact that he's still putting up such good numbers on such a deep team as Chandler knocks it down. Chandler hits a three. And Chandler off the bench three for three. He's got seven points. He slowed down. I used to score about eight. I'm in the game. I'm like I was going good. Make sure your guys there. Kobe helped by Wilson Chandler. Watching film leading into the game. I knew Wilson. I knew he was just going to play sound defense. Wilson Chandler was a rookie then. And the fact that he went into detail about his habits about his mannerisms on defense, his tendencies. He wasn't going gamble. He wasn't going to try to block a shot. He was going to try to play good position defense. So I knew I could get a good look. You know what I mean? They have so much feel. Like how you going to tell me all this about Wilson Chandler and all this and that. But like that goes until like D-Miles said it on the episode. He was like you like gangster when it comes to hoop. And like that was how he was. So from that standpoint I said all right you got to take my time being on balance and knock him down. Chandler right up on him. Chandler blocked one of his shots earlier. Brian fires and hits it through. Kobe Bryant. And the offensive end for his shot. Sets himself puts it up. Pucks it in. Kobe Bryant putting on a show here in the first half. But he's looking to score here in the first half. Pulls up again. Knocks it down. By five. He's got Kobe on the wing. And Kobe flying home. Two-hander. By seven. Twenty-seven for twenty-four. They're getting their money's worth. They're cheering for Kobe in a big way. I thought we were under. Didn't you say we were playing a real game? I'm sitting here watching and I'm like yo. He's not stopping. Blake goes back up by Seth Bryant. Adjusts it up. Pucks it in. Tough shot. As Bryant floats in the air across the lane. Twenty-nine points in the first half. Bryant releases down the other end. Kobe Bryant. Now with thirty-one. Bryant to the basket. Count it. And a chance for one more time. Here's the MVP chance again. Nick fans try to drown it out. But there are a lot of Laker fans. You can see the jerseys throughout the arena. Second half come third quarter same thing. So about another eight points. He don't look like he want to stop. He still want to give a hundred if he can. Like a lot of guys they're going. They'll miss a few shots and it's kind of. They're kind of like taking stuff back. Like let me play the right way. I'm taking too many shots. I ain't making it right now. Now with Kobe. He always a kill mode. We always got the killer instinct at all time. Like where does that mentality come from? Where you see most guys 30 40s and they kind of chill out. Like all right I got this. Yeah. No. It's a competition. My mission is to destroy you. It's not you know I mean like I don't say it. You know like we're playing. I'm not stopping at 30. Like I'm going to keep going until you figure out something else to do. Like I'm going to keep going. On a follow. The flow. The balance. Kobe little uptake on David Lee. The follow. It's his barometer is Bryant gets inside. Tough shot. Oh he puts it in. What a shot from Bryant. He's got 42. Tim Thomas on Gasol. Bryant gets inside and banks it in. You know and like that New York game. I knew Dan Tony's philosophies are never the double guy that's hot because you always get a shot. I knew Dan Tony's philosophies are never the double guy that's hot because you always think they're going to cool off eventually. Yeah. Right. So I understood that. So once I got rolling I knew that was going to be the case. He'll be in good shape. But Kobe says we're not going to lose this one by one because I'm going to continue to be on fire. And that's what he is right now. Man for a quarter come. I just go crazy. I got most of it in the crunch man. Like the last three minutes he just go crazy. I go like 16 18 straight. I'm like this is amazing. Kobe off the bench. Never stop. Never stop. Bro's trying to block the shot. Bryant on Chandler. And fake draws the foul. Bryant for three draws the foul on Chandler. And this will make eight so far in the fourth for total of 54. He's one shy of a tie. Michael Jordan for record. Most points by an opponent here at the game. MVP chance once again. Bryant extraordinary performance. Bryant spins. That was one of those zone moments man. Where like things happen and just led to that big moment. God bless my young boy Wilson Chandler. He recovered. He is good. Everything is well with his life and his career. He's still playing now. So you know he made it through that. Like I'm sitting here watching it and I'm like yo. I was trying to like yo at some point when he catch the ball you got to put him in the first row. Comes Chandler behind him. Chandler stays with him. Bryant foul. And he'll go back to the free throw line.  Spike over there pumping him up. He talking. My boy ain't saying nothing. He decided that being a good young boy going to play hard. Spike Lee over here getting them going like how are you going to talk to this man? You ain't got to check him.  You know on top of the fact that it's an electrifying place. And I was a little PO because Big Drew went down. You know and it was something I felt like this was a hump game where we had to have it. You know we couldn't come out here and play so we had to get this game in order to make the rest of the trip a positive one. In my opinion when it get down to just the killer mentality and the killer instinct can't nobody get up in that room with Kobe and they belong in that room by themselves. Can't nobody come up in there. Thanks. Kobe this building opened in February of 1968. Every great player that since then has come through you know hold the scoring record in this building. How does it make you feel? I didn't know that. That's pretty awesome. The opponent record was Jordan. He had 55. The record was Bernard King at 60. You just passed him both. Wow man. That's I don't know what to say. That's awesome. It's a blessing. You talk about the set of what they bring to the table and how I fight you. I scored 60 on you. You know what I'm saying? I lock you down like they by themselves. And if you guys enjoyed this video I'd really appreciate if you guys could help me out by hitting that like button.
