Hello people of the internet, my name is Johnny, welcome back to yet another FNAF video and yes, you read the title correctly cause Steve will just announced Help Wanted 2 coming out later this year. Also yes, this is a brand new camera, I still gotta fiddle with a whole bunch of the settings so sorry if audios may be behind video or settings don't look the best, I'm definitely gonna mess around with it a whole bunch tomorrow. But obviously with such a massive and unexpected announcement like this, I just gotta make a video. Help Wanted 2 was just like shadow announced over on Playstation's recent state of play showcase for 2023, a lot of people were expecting another trailer for Ruin, but nope, Help Wanted 2. They released a 1 minute long teaser trailer for the game which I will show you my live reaction to that right now. What? What is this? Sister location? What is this, like a sequel to Sister Location? What is this? Who's making this? You ain't seen nothing yet. Five nights at Freddy's. Help Wanted 2? No shot. Help Wanted 2! It's Sister Location Levels! It's coming this year! What? Help Wanted 2! Oh my god. I'm actually shaking. I was not expecting anything. I was not expecting anything for NAF. What is this chat? Okay. Let's analyze it. It's a minute long. It doesn't show any gameplay. This is just cinematic. But Andy's back. Welcome back for another week of career fulfillment and minimal social interaction. Andy's back, so we're in the elevator. We got a little Bonnie and Bonnet let's play poster here. Welcome back. We've got Sister Location Circus Baby with the ice cream. And it says stay cool on it. Welcome back for another week of career fulfillment and minimal social interaction. It says welcome back to another week. I'm assuming this is taking place after Sister Location, I guess? Or at least because it's a Fazbear Entertainment VR game, whatever. But I'm assuming it's going to treat the gameplay like it is a sequel to Sister Location. But oh my god. This is insane. We know how challenging it can be to find a place where you feel that you truly belong. It looks so good too.  I was like Andy and I saw Circus Baby and I was like Sister Location too? And to find a job that treats you mostly with respect and only infrequently with contempt. Okay, so this is just hand unit doing his ha ha look at me. I'm hand unit. I've got comedy stuff which you know makes sense for the character. For that reason we are excited to inform you that you did an adequate enough job the first time around to have you back. Okay. I wonder if this is just trailer recordings because I do wonder. It's going to be its own game. Help Wanted 2. It's its own thing. It's not DLC. So I wonder if this is just snarky like ooh we're having you back because it's another game. Or if this is like if it'll play because Help Wanted was obviously very much about it being meta.  But I don't know it's I wonder if they're still going to play into that. I'm so giddy about this dude. I love Help Wanted so much. I'm so happy. Yes. Help Wanted 2 with more levels with sister location levels. I don't like sister location that much. I'll be honest but it has the opportunity for some amazing levels. Also there were no other applicants. So strap yourself in and get motivated to an appropriate degree.  You ain't seen nothing yet. Ah fusion. Love you buddy. Thank you so much for this. With Ballora jumpscare. Ballora doesn't look too hot but we have half a year to go still. Oh my god sister location levels in FNAF Help Wanted 2. Jesus Christ. They have the opportunity to do so so much chat. Think about it. They've got sister location where they can do the private room with Ennard. They can do the breaker room with Funtime Freddy and Bon Bon. They can do obviously Ballora segment. I'm assuming that's confirmed because Ballora has a goddamn jumpscare in the trailer. They can do pizza sim because they haven't done pizza sim. Think about that. We can get pizza sim in VR. Maybe they can do security breach levels.  FNAF AR levels. It's a level of your house and it's like how did you get my house in the game? It's a whole new game which it seems like it is going to be. I doubt it's going to be DLC because they would have clarified hey this is more DLC not Help Wanted 2. They have enough levels and lore for more levels and they're probably going to do a whole bunch more stuff with like Glitchtrap and stuff like that. Oh my gosh. It said late 2023 right? Yes late 2023. Buy Steel Wall. It is Steel Wall guys. It is Steel Wall. Oh my god. Help Wanted 2. I love Help Wanted. Yes dude. So there's not much to analyze with this trailer since it's not gameplay. It's mostly a cinematic but people have pointed out this which looks very similar to the puzzle boxes in the teaser trailer for Ruin. Not sure if there's some connection there with Ruin DLC. What happens in that and what's going to happen later this year in this brand new game. And then of course you got Ballora. I just wanted to take a closer look at her jump scare because oh my gosh does her model look absolutely terrifying. They did such good job in the cinematic. Oh my god it blows me away. It genuinely looks so good. And they also put out a quick blog post which details some things we can expect to see in Help Wanted 2 which I'll read out briefly right now. Five Nights at Freddy's Help Wanted 2 is a PlayStation VR2 sequel to the terrifying VR experience that brought new life to the iconic horror franchise. Improving on the original title, Help Wanted 2 introduces several brand new minigames that bring you face to face with familiar characters and locations from the series's past. But all is not as it seems in this new job. It'll be up to you to brave through the horrors to figure out the truth. And then kind of direct feelings from Stewell themselves. Back in 2019 we were so excited to share the first VR FNAF game. Five Nights at Freddy's Help Wanted. Since then we've been fortunate to release the VR DLC, Help Wanted Curse of Dreadbearer, the first fully explorable FNAF title, Five Nights at Freddy's Security Breach. And we are currently adding another chapter to Security Breach's story in the upcoming free DLC Security Breach Ruin. All this time in experience under our belt we felt it was time to return to VR and create a brand new game with even more of what fans know, love, and fear. Help Wanted 2 will feel familiar to players who experience the first game, but with all new games, locations, story, and animatronics. Do your best to complete your work as fast and as diligently as you can, but be careful. One wrong move at this job can lead to unexpected consequences. Utilizing the enhanced power and fidelity of PlayStation VR 2, this title will be the most immersive, heart-racing FNAF title ever. PlayStation VR 2 sends controller and headset haptics let players feel every step, rumble, and shake as you race to complete your tasks on time. VR brings players even closer to the animatronics than ever before. Just not too close, they have been known to bite. Whether you're a longtime fan of the series or this is your first time working at one of the pizzerias, FNAF Help Wanted 2 promises to excite, delight, and terrify you when it releases for PlayStation VR 2 this year. So not a whole lot to go off of with the teaser. We do know that sister location levels with especially Ballora have been confirmed, which is nice. I mean, just think about all the possibilities. The private room with Ennard, the break room with Funtime Freddy and Bon Bon, those are some characters that were in the first game, but they can definitely expand upon those characters. There is also the possibility for pizzeria simulator levels, ultimate custom night levels. If we get lucky, maybe security breach levels, I have no clue. I'm definitely going to be doing a predictions video for stuff I hope to see in the sequel coming out later this year because they have the chance to do a lot. That is going to do it for this quick reaction and analysis to the teaser trailer for FNAF Help Wanted 2. This is a title I was definitely not expecting, but oh my gosh, I'm so happy. I adore Help Wanted, the first one. And to get a sequel is everything I've ever wanted. I was disappointed when there was no hard mode for Curse of Dreadbear, and I assumed since they were moving on to security breach and ruin, and they were kind of dodging on all questions regarding Help Wanted and interviews that they were kind of done with it, but little did I know they were working on a goddamn full new sequel game.  I'm so excited. FNAF fans are eating good this year. But yeah, that's going to do it. I'd love to know what are your thoughts, theories for Help Wanted 2, and I'll see you all very soon for a whole bunch more analysis on all these goddamn teasers and new FNAF announcements. Thank you so much for watching, and I'll see you all on the flip side. Goodbye.

Good morning, ladies and gentlemen. On behalf of the commanding officer, Colonel Christopher M. Murray, welcome to Marine Aircraft Group 36 Change of Command ceremony, where Colonel Christopher M. Murray will relinquish command to Colonel Brett A. Allison. Today's ceremony has been executed by the officers, Marines, and sailors of Marine Aircraft Group 36. The commander troops for today's ceremony is Lieutenant Colonel Allison Dottos. The adjutant for today's ceremony is First Lieutenant QE. Ladies and gentlemen, please rise for the invocation given by Commander John B. Sears, Chaplain Corps, United States Navy. Let us pray. Great and mighty God, we gather this morning to look back to remember and look forward with hope. We look back to say well done and forward to say Godspeed. For today, we bear witness to one of our nation's oldest and most sacred acts, the peaceful transition of power. God, we ask this day to be one of celebration for Colonel Murray and his family. Be with Brendan and his beloved as he diligently studies to better our world. Be with Justin, the next generation of Murray, to be a Kubasaki Dragon and answer your call to wear the cloth of our nation. And as her nest soon grows empty, be with Julie, grant her satisfaction and a job well done as a military spouse, and renew joy in time for herself and with her husband. Be with Colonel Murray as he suffers through long prayers and lofty speeches and a spotlight he'd rather avoid. Let him hear the words of those close to him, for we know that beneath that battle-hardened visage lies an only slightly less hard heart of a warrior, but a heart that is gracious and caring and indeed loving as a leader, husband, father, and friend. So grant him patience as all those who counted a blessing to have served with him, spend this time letting him know. Most of all, God, as he receives an award and tokens of deep appreciation, grant that the gifts he receives in abundance be ones he will never hold in his hands, but ones he holds in his heart forever as he remembers this day and his time in command. God, we wish as well your continued care and guidance for Colonel Allison, Kim, Josh, and Odessa, Grace, Sarah, and David. For the demands of the job ahead, grant them in quality what they will give up of time and quantity. Each day of this experience, let them know their nation gratefully receives their sacrifices as an entire family. Most of all, Heavenly Father, let your chosen son, Brett, know that long before he ever heard the title Marine, you guided, guarded, and girded him for this time in this place with this authority to keep your world safe and all your children free and at peace. Finally, Lord, for all of us who have witnessed these events, do not let us leave the same men and women we entered in, but renew in each of us today our commitment to our values of honor, courage, and commitment that we might be your living witnesses in your world. In your holy name we pray. Amen. Ladies and gentlemen, please be seated. Present-day parades in the Marine Corps have their basis in both history and tradition. The mass formation of troops on one long line at Close Hill made possible the massing of firepower from muzzle-loaded muskets of the past. The adjunct forms a line of battle, and in those early days that line consisted of two or three ranks, much like in the parade you will see today, aviation operations as a med level aviation combat element. This history of Marine Aircraft Group 36 begins as helicopter transport 36 was commissioned at Marine Corps Facilities Santa Ana on 2 June 1952. While VMO 6 was making history in Korea as the first Marine Helicopter Squadron in U.S. history to conduct combat operations, MAG 36 Squadrons consisting of HMR 361, 362, and 363 were devoting long hours to testing and improving the techniques of employing the HRS-1 helicopters and amphibious ship to shore movements. Throughout the 1990s MAG 36 units participated in a variety of contingency operations. In 1995 MAG 36 units conducted relief operations in Kobe, Japan after 6,400 people lost their lives in a massive earthquake, and also participated in a withdrawal of United Nations forces from Somalia during Operation United Shield. Nearly every year MAG 36 deploys as a med level aviation combat element, often supporting humanitarian assistance and disaster relief operations. Today Marine Aircraft Group 36 is made up of over 2,000 Marines and Sailors from 6 Squadrons supporting training exercises all across the Pacific and around the world. The Marines and Sailors from Marine Aircraft Group 36 remain prepared for when the nation calls. Ladies and gentlemen, please rise for the march on in the colors and remain standing for the flame of the national anthem. Please be seated. Commanding General, First Marine, Colonel Christopher M Murray. Colonel Christopher M Murray, 6 May 2023. You will stand attached for your duties as a commanding officer. David H. Berger, General, United States Marine Corps, Commanding Officer, Marine Corps, to Colonel. Effective 09, 26 May, 2023. You are directed to assume your duties as the commanding officer. David H. Berger, General, United States Marine Corps, Commanding Officer, Major General, Eric P. Austin. It was a wonderful day of 36 reflecting briefly on Colonel Murray's tour as the commander of 36. Thank you all for joining us. A great Colonel culture on this island. I am able to participate in that. Many more Marines. A list of the history that we presented at Lank 36 is amazing. A group of pioneers in the Marine Corps. A helicopter aviation assault support in the aviation. 1952 Santa Ana, El Toro. Equated themselves well in the vehicle. 1969, just a couple of years ago. A period of time that I've been here ever since. I've been supporting the 31st Marine at 50 ceiling. I've been supporting the 31st Marine at 50 ceiling. I've been supporting the 31st Marine at 50 ceiling. And the way before you is the most lethal weapon.  But behind them are an amazing array of hardware. That these Marines leverage the HVAs, 1 Yankee Zulu, brand new aircraft. If anyone with a three-year-old wants an airplane, they can also do an aviation fitting. One ended in an unprepared gentleman. It's at FB 20-Zero. Certainly our heavy lift. It's important to work toward new changes to it. We're going to raise leadership. Supporting the 31st Marines is a huge tax on this team. They do it extraordinary well. So, Port Starboard with the two B&M's that support it. So that's an amazing capability. And the other thing that they do is they lead the HVAs. A lot of contingency make happen. For third-marines missionaries, of course. Which very often response to conflict and crisis. Mostly crisis. Supposing military assistance and disaster relief. And guess what? Three point stakes right now get ready to go to respond to it along. So, we're going to talk about that. It's an amazing fact that that amazing look. That's an interesting thing that I'm glad to see. I'm trying to even brag about it a little bit. So, it's a well led match. Let's talk about General Murray real quick. He's got an amazing pedigree. And as the state of the economy doesn't like us talking about it. There's a lot of changes to it. But in a formation like this, there's one toward that. I'd go with the man who gets the award. The guy didn't want the award. But I'm telling you, it's a lot of air circulation. But we're going to give him a little less moment than this afternoon. But he certainly has done a wonderful job to be a commander. And a unique pedigree.  We met here a couple of years ago. Came back his first tour. Was in the HVAs 365. Commanded the VLN 265. Comes back as the new commander. So, this officer, those of us here. To go very well, he's done well. He was outside at the first pond three massive. But he was the perfect pedigree. The perfect leader from that 36 in the past two years. And he's certainly entered in by Julie, Justin, Brandon and that wonderful team that enables him to perform at the level that he does. So, it's an old family thing for all you've done. They'll let him be a great officer for you. And everyone that knows, Team Warrior knows it. It's a great co-captain. Amazing team. Well done. I was making this morning about my comments. I was going to use the term prisoner. She came to mind. That's kind of a bad way to talk about going to the wing staff. We're going to do a 36 for Colonel Allison. It's a little bit of a transfer form, right? Maybe so we're going to take the transfer form. It's over. So, we're having a good fortune to have an officer of this pedigree. It's going to be a wing staff. It's going to be the G3. A job that the MCA has to tell me Commander knows extraordinary about. And I mentioned it's changing me a couple of weeks ago. But it's an opportunity without hesitation. It's one of the most important jobs in third pre-executionary courses. So, we're lucky to have two inscriptions. So, thank you well done. And to another side of the transfer portal, we've got Colonel Allison, who I first met when I was in Quantica when he came out of support for our planning efforts. And I immediately took a liking to him. But what I really got to know was last August with him, David, and Ozzy and their dog on the Patriot Express. Right? That's when you get to know someone. It's that one-man friend of yours. What do you want to know? It was visible experiences you all know that bring you on the wing of Express. But we made the most of it. And then I've had the very good fortune of serving with him. He's done two years on the wing staff and was selected for command after his first year. And he, too, is the right officer to come here at this time. He understands the theater. He understands the challenges. He understands the wing. And if I was a wing dog, it's a medic. And he's a great person, a great leader. Also under your buddy, Kim, Sergeant Josh, Allison, his wife, recently married, are unable to join us as they're out of their torrent. I want to say a good word for that second time. Seventh Marines, Grace Sarah and David, you guys are in great tension. Thank you for having me. Counting on the Marine Corps and we're first going on in the 1960s when we've done for the wing of what you guys are going to do. So that's enough of me, ladies and gentlemen. I've got to say, ladies and gentlemen, I'd like to accept that you have to do this the former commander, we're here after the 36th, and a good friend of the good officer who's coming to the wing, Colonel Christopher. Out of your information that, you know, I've been working hard all week until it's sort of started to get better and better. It starts me from along the flight line that the commander troops in the Ex-O and the guys probably two weeks from me and Salty over at tomorrow's and the new intern over here is doing seating charts at six in the morning this morning. Anyway, incredible offer. Probably why Terrell Austin. Sure, thanks for being here. Most people probably don't know this, but we've made an investigation debatable ceremony. It's got a few thank yous that I want to run through real quick. Fourth, first at the Fourth Marines teamed up with Ag 36 to pick the person. It's a pretty amazing mark of work, turning it into something that still gets the teaching objectives, but also lets us do what we need to do and it's really insulting to continue. Debo now spam for portal with LCS for time out by the station. So it's making back team out of about eight hours and Tim Morello of the ship's son and the grandfather was a Marine. My dad's 32 year both of them certainly needs to be a Marine officer and be one of them. You can mention becoming a Marine I think he was pretty after I graduated high school and kicked him in the butt and said, here's the car, drive down the floor. I'm studying a little bit more your independence and I'm not sure about the high school spirit and I don't know if that's going to work out. Justin my youngest you know he's he's been the vast majority of his school ages in Virginia all that too and those two were about a year on Saturday for about a month. It's much like you know I didn't have to do that. All far in soccer we used to get a lot of school and I said you know I thought the family and also we've gotten down this that's great getting focused on things that are important so not exactly sure what's coming next but we'll figure it out let me kind of show here with talking about the man just a little bit new WSS 172 the center of gravity and there's no way that we could succeed as a man the way that we operate we do not have WSS 172 interaction with one of us the 18 exercises that they've participated in over the last two years across six different countries on everything from building schools in Thailand in Fairfield Davidson in the Philippines and one of the things that I'm most proud of doesn't seem like a lot but integrating with the Japanese aviation is very important it's very hard it takes a very long time not too long we'll go there very far with the Japanese H-66 Maus 36 brightness in the mag could not be more impressed with that squatter they managed any transfers any acceptances per year the support all the units on the 10-month they support the 31st wheel sometimes they support the 13th U they do it all throughout the theater incredible job I think our biggest company we can give to that squatter I've had 10 EDCOs roll through here and every single one of them is told the other way out that Maus 36 is the best Maus that they have ever built so much that that Maus takes all the units on the flight H-M-H not watched the readiness of the H-M-H steadily inclined increased over the last two years probably from the point where there was a question about the relevancy out here there's no longer that question I think everybody in this theater as much as we do I think those airplanes will be flying soon flights to the Philippines mainly H-M-H kind of a similar situation not sure how they're going to fight out there but the H-M-H units have come out and developed H-M-H for our time striker and certainly show that the role that they fill with you know long range precision shipping munition and they certainly are going to make a lot of conversation also about the members of the aircraft that they're going to have finally the VMM is 262 and 265 until that I don't know many units in the Marine Corps that are busier in these two squads do a year at the MAG go to the VU to break the VU come right back to the MAG deal with exercises we deal with PCS cycles great initiative issues lack of range as well as challenges we can name it they continue to perform that what the sword is required for all the frags all the exercises for ACM and somehow they manage to maintain T2 readiness levels it's not T1 readiness levels the entire time which is well better than the rest of the V22 fleet all right CG likes to say that you know MAG 36 is a lip collar MAG and I agree they are exactly kind of a reputation that I wanted for this MAG is put your head down and do the work get it done I'd also say sir they're the gold standard for programing ops and aviation for certainly been my pleasure I think that perhaps some of my job opportunity of the time unless time is really quick which because you're taking over an incredible MAG they've been my neighbors and Brent's been my neighbors for the last year which could be out in a number of places looking right next door to you but super gracious a number of all time I've only got a policy to sign on my house once it's yours now I take it off sitting outside the back door but incredible officer and incredible leader and big family and I look forward to watching you so you do a commanding officer of that 36 corporate house I also thank you for the mentorship I felt at ECS I felt that the guidance and assistance that you could get for my fellow commanders who's six is sergeant's manager his master of attendance various staff members from the various staff still here today friends, family and issue partners thank you all for coming out and taking time to get this together to really honor the Marines and say there's a little bit more interact from the various staff I want to give a special shout out to my G5 crew with master and presence Ron I apologize I put a journey trick on

Here we go. Let's empty out this bag of brooches and We're gonna go through these and we're also gonna go through these and let's get started Let's get started Bobo buddies, thank you so much for being here We are gonna start with this bag of brooches and it's a pretty nice lot I found some really nice things in here. This is from my I bought it on eBay to sell on eBay the 344 pounds of jewelry that I purchased so She had things divided up into groups and these are the brooches so we're just gonna kind of look through these together and This one's really cool. It's called a micro mosaic and I ended up finding four of these And two were marked Italy on the back and I did put these in a lot and they are listed in my store This is a cute little flower. I have several of the Gold-toned flowers. I may end up doing a small lot of those also. I have to do a little more research So some of these items I recorded this video a while ago Some of these items are listed and some of them I'm still working on. There's another gold flower and There's a lot of really really cute items in here a lot of them. I'll sell individually But I will probably cross post them to all three platforms and maybe put some of them on Etsy also This one is really neat, but it did have some damage on it when I looked at it the other night So That's kind of a bummer so I just kind of look through everything and kind of show you guys what I got and There's a lot of vintage items in here for sure. It's a great lot. I'll definitely definitely make some money That one I don't know if it's vintage or not and that's the thing I need to get better at Knowing if something's vintage and in the jewelry world Really, what do people consider to be vintage? There's another one of those. I think it's called micro mosaic pens and I find two more So I have this bag that I emptied out and then I have another Pile that I'm gonna show you guys also This one's a little basket and I've got a couple of those so I'm thinking I might lot those together but lots of pretty pretty stuff and You know, I actually there's the other basket. I actually sold a pen for I want to I can't remember it's in my What sold video, but I cannot remember what it sold for it was it maybe 65 or 75 dollars I could not believe it because I didn't think that people really wear brooches like they used to but I'm finding out that brooches do sell so I'm pretty excited about some of these Let's see. I'm trying to That one's pretty cool Some of these have some markings on the back. I can't remember if that's one or not Yeah, it is because I'm looking at it right now. I can't remember what it says, but I looked it up comps were decent So I will probably list oops. I thought that I had it up to the camera. I'm still learning how to do this but anyhow The last video that I did I Had the camera at a different angle and I think I actually liked it better. There's another one of the micro mosaic I hope I'm saying that right But they're really cool Really cool little brooches, and they had really good comp. So I've got that one priced kind of high And if you guys are new to the channel, this is not my typical Bow low video I typically share items to be on the lookout for items that you can buy low and sell high But I bought this huge a lot of jewelry off of eBay from a gallon If you want to know the whole story you can Check out that video playlist and you'll see where I went to pick it up and where I weighed everything and it weighed 344 pounds so I decided to start a Monday series where I'm unboxing the items and I'm getting ready to do a What sold from my bulk buy so far So that will either be coming soon or by the time this video posts it may have already posted So definitely go look for that and you can see what I've sold so far And I think I've almost got enough for another video. So I'm pretty excited about that So the jewelry is definitely doing well. I have definitely found some bolos in this lot Which is super exciting and I'm learning a lot. I have a whole series where I unbox gemstones from this by I call it my bulk buy Because three hundred and forty four pounds is definitely a bulk buy but Moonstone mamas comes on with me and she has a YouTube channel called Moonstone mamas and she helped me identify gemstones So if you guys are interested in learning what different stones look like looks like We actually unbox it together and I hold them up and she helps me identify them So it's a really fantastic way to learn. So definitely go check out those videos. They're on my Monday play list Also, I think the playlist is called. I bought it on eBay to sell on eBay or something like that. I Can't believe I can't remember what it's called But yeah, so I know that's not the one I listed. It's coming soon here That one I didn't seem real fancy. It was kind of lightweight But lots of flowers lots of flowers for sure. I see it laying there Really cute pins. I mean, I don't wear pins. So I don't really understand it. This is and Taylor And it still has the tag. I think it's probably vintage, but I'm not a hundred percent sure I don't know if anybody knows is that an older tag But I do have this one listed in my store and I priced it at $40 or best offer just because I figure You know, I can come down and it's really really big and really really cool So we'll see what happens. I might be a little high or maybe I'm low. I don't know So still learning here. So if you guys go down to the description of the video I do have a link to my eBay store. Oh, this piece is fantastic So it's clip-on earrings and a matching pin and it is beautiful and it is listed in my store They are fantastic. I can't remember what brand it is, but I do have this listed So what I was saying is is down in the description of the video I have a link to my eBay store and I have a link that will take you to all of my items But I also have a link that says Link to my bulk buy jewelry. I think it's called BB one or something like that or jewelry BB is the category I used on eBay. That's what it is Jewelry BB. So if you want to see what I sold Or what I have listed right now. I got sidetracked by that pin. I'm gonna tell you guys about it in a minute Actually, I'm gonna tell you about it now and then I'll come back to that this pin has great comps and it is listed There's some other ones listed. So I'm gonna hold out and wait till those sell and hope to make a make a good profit on this one and I haven't listed this one yet So anyway, if you want to check out my jewelry bulk buy jewelry what I have listed I think I have about 130 items up by the time this post I hope to have more but Definitely just working my way through it. I'm trying to list items You know in different categories Daily so that I'm not just listing jewelry. I'm not just listing clothing. I'm not just listing Hard goods, you know what I mean? So I'm trying to get away from clothing, but I still have so much to do So I'm trying to throw that in there. There's another one of those little pins Yeah, so what I also wanted to tell you guys if you see something you like and you want to make an offer Please make an offer and when you make the offer, please put in the notes Bolo buddies so that I know that you're subscribed to my channel and that you watch my videos and I know it You and then when I do a what sold video, I can say either a subscriber bought this or I can say Your name if you want me to but you have to request that So, you know what that kind of looks like a pair of earrings. I've listed, huh? Who knows it could be because I have earrings I have I have so much jewelry to go through that one's kind of a neat piece I'm definitely gonna list that one separate and I'm pretty sure it's vintage So a very very cool and I have sold quite a bit of jewelry to subscribers actually I just had a gal Purchase a huge lot off of me. I think it was 16 pounds or maybe it was 18 pounds off of mercury And I had another subscriber buy some Jewelry off of mercury because I lauded a lot of it up on Mercari to sell because I don't have time to list at all. I did list that little pin That's on the I think it was Harry Potter. I did list that it's just a bread and butter item but you know, I like having bread and butter in my store because It all adds up and you know jewelry even if it's not signed if it's pretty people will still buy it I just sold a pair of cowbell earrings Like right before I started the video. So it's fresh in my mind And it's definitely a bread and butter item. It's sold on Poshmark. I think After it's all said and done, I'm gonna get ten dollars and five cents, which is fantastic Those did not come from the bulk buy those came from a garage sale or something over the summer I picked jewelry up whenever I can just because it's fun, but I'm not real good at it This is really cute. I need to look into this one. I tried looking it up I didn't have much luck finding the same one. So if anybody knows anything about that, please let me know in the comments and if you guys see something in the video that you know something about you can Time stamp it and then I can find it Because sometimes when you describe it, it's hard for me to find. So if you time stamp it that really helps So yeah, really tons of brooches. I mean gosh, there's probably Over a hundred here. I would think I did list the sailboat. It's super cute. It's enamel Really nice piece. It's pretty big So the sailboat is listed. I Can't remember what I listed it for you guys. I typically list high Because on Poshmark and Mercari you do price drops and then on eBay. I accept best offers So please again, if you go to my store and you see something you're interested in Don't be afraid to make me an offer. I will not be offended if the offer is too low then I'll just counter offer and More than likely I'm I accept most offers, but most people send me reasonable offers I don't know what that is. I don't know if that's military or what so I need to look that up The three stars. I did list this little guy. He's Avon and he's a little scarecrow and he there were some solds So it's a bread and butter item, but I thought it was cute enough to list Let me see if I can hold this in my hand So silly I Don't know lots of neat pieces for sure, but lots of Lots of work lots of work ahead of me, and I'm hoping that Oh that one's cute. I have a small ring light that I've been using for like the brooches and The ear rings and the small items and I've been trying to get a big light box for The necklaces and stuff and I'm having a little bit of a hard time with that right now So the first one came broken the second one They shipped me the wrong item and it had lights that you had to like set up and put on the side I'm like look I just want the one that you unfold that the lights are already in it you just plug it in and List like I don't want to have to set up like four sets of lights every time I get the light box out So yeah, I've had to return two large light boxes so far. So The next one is on its way. I did list this cute little owl. It is up in my store super cute and If you see something you like that's not listed feel free to message me either in my Bola Buddies Facebook group Which is linked down in the description or you can put a comment in the video and I can list it and I can let you know in the comments. I can reply to your comment. Hey, I got that listed now and I can provide you a link So just because it's not listed doesn't mean that I can't find it and list it for you because I am gonna be listing jewelry For who knows how long? It is quite a process for sure, but I'm really enjoying it more than I thought I would I don't know is that like a pee? Definitely more than I thought I would I really I'm learning how to like Filter the background so that it looks like really white and really makes the jewelry pop So I'm pretty excited about that That was one of the things that I did not like about listing jewelry is that I had such a hard time getting Nice photos and I think you know, I can get away with that more with clothing But when it comes to jewelry, I think it really helps sell the item when the photos look good I have this listed I'm not sure what those initials are, but I listed it, but I can't figure it out It was signed. I can't remember what it said on the back. It said something on the back It's in the listing description. That looks like a face with a hat. There's one really cool piece I see it. It's coming up and I kind of want you guys's opinion on it I'll tell you when we get to it, but I don't know how to research it and it's a really cool piece And I'm not even sure if I really I'm gonna give you guys a good shot of it I can't remember so we will see here Here it is Okay, so that's the back. Oh You can't really see it. Maybe I'll get it closer. Come on. No, come on. Oh My gosh, I'm horrible.  I don't know what they are. Maybe you guys can go back and pause it It's really interesting And like the metals I don't know what they're made of is and that says Barbie But I think it's Avon, but it'll be a good bread and butter item.

Hi, my name is Karni Wignaraja, I'm the UN Assistant Secretary General and UNDP's Regional Director for Asia and the Pacific region. I'm here at USIP to discuss the future of development and a crisis response in increasingly turbulent times. This has been a massive shock. I think it's been about a $2 trillion loss already to the Asia-Pacific economies. Now if I look at that in human development terms, according to UNDP, all our countries have lost human development gains over the last few years and we've fallen back to 2016. Now that means getting to those SDGs is going to be near impossible at the current rate. If I just take this as job losses, that alone sees a generation of young people who are probably going to come back into a job market but earning at least 10 percent less than pre-COVID times. Now we hadn't even put on all of this the damage, the emotional loss and distress to these societies. You add to that along comes the Ukraine war and I hadn't even realized how much the dependency on wheat and other grains from Ukraine, fuel and food coming from Russia. This means countries like Sri Lanka suddenly saw a food and fuel price hike that took inflation through the roof, over 70 percent inflation that we've probably never seen ever in any of these countries and a domino effect that is very alarming across the region. The long-term costs are counted and measured by economic losses but I would say that that's not the only cost of delayed development. Why not being able to respond fast and continuing development investments? If I just take one statistic, some countries just the interest payments on debt are now higher than public expenditure on health and education. We never thought in our lifetime we'd see this. How are we going to get to those SDGs if the cost on probably two of the biggest human development indicators, health and education, is falling so dramatically? I think there's a bigger cost that we have not seen yet which is a political and social atrophy that's going on where people are just not responding to regaining their strength and institutions and services coming back fast enough to really look at how we can respond quicker. So the worry, again if I look across countries like Afghanistan, Myanmar, Sri Lanka, Laos, now Pakistan, you add a climate shock to this. It's not just debt distress. It's an entire political shakeup and an economies that cannot recover fast enough to really get to those SDGs by 2030. So the cost of delaying development investment is huge. Well the good thing is there's a lot we can do and have been doing and as UNDP certainly a lot of the preparation work we've been putting in place, the prevention work is starting to pay off. So let me take just a few. Just the investment in digital transformations. This is allowing services to reach people who never had access let's say to health care or learning before but our digital payments, cash payments being made through mobile networks. And this is actually reaching huge vulnerable populations who were otherwise left behind. A second I would bet on solar. You know the energy security question is so shaky these days but if we invest in solar much of Asia and the Pacific the sun shines almost through the year and that solarization including of schools, health clinics just keeps the lights on and the cost of this is minimal compared to the cost of current oil and gas prices. And I would say the third big one is most of our countries in the region are run through informal economies not just the formal economies.  Just in them and the countries just jump start the people's economy keeps going. An example you give a thousand dollars to a woman led enterprise in any country Afghanistan Myanmar Sri Lanka it already immediately the next week they employ four to five people each one feeds a household of about ten. Just think we don't have to fly in food aid. People will feed themselves take care of their families protect their communities if given a chance. So to me investing in agency in people's will to get on with it that's where the answer lies.


What's going on guys? Tom Davis here, America's Canaan Educator. Thank you so much for joining me today and welcome back to the coolest dog training channel right here on YouTube. You guys, today we have a young golden retriever coming in. The owners can't even walk this dog anywhere. The dog is a little over a year. He's a beautiful dog. The family is so great to work with. We are working on leash pulling, jumping on people, being reactive to other dogs, just one of the most overly friendly dogs I've ever worked with, as well as one of the only dogs. Actually, the only dog is actually played with our fake dog. As you guys have seen on my other videos, he actually played with this dog that is not even real for about 20 minutes, which is hysterical.  So, let's try to do it right now guys. If you're watching this, hit that like button right now. If I get 2,000 likes within 24 hours, I'll go live this weekend, next weekend, somewhere during the week, whatever. I'm going to go live and answer your dog training questions. Also, don't forget to subscribe to my channel, cop yourself some no bad dog merch and let's get into the video. Nice. Oh my goodness. So, just to recap really quick, all the basics are pretty good inside, but as soon as we go outside and as soon as we go outside of the house or the yard, everything kind of goes out the window. Okay. Nice to meet you too, buddy. Yeah, okay, okay. So, do you feel like, so with the harness, it's a, do you feel like it, do you feel like it chokes him or do you feel like, yeah, I can, I heard that earlier too. Do you feel like he, he knows he'll, so when we're in our yard and we're practicing it and he's engaged and he's looking at me and it's just him and I, he will do it. Okay, okay. When we go out and his head is another way, boop. You gotta ask me like five times because I really want to do something else. Okay, I'm going to get a distraction now.  Super calm dog. I'll get him out really quick and then I'll grab some equipment and see what's going to work best for him. So for me, it's really case by case, dog by dog, owner by owner. So we'll get some, we'll get some couple different things out to see what's going to work best for you guys, what you guys are comfortable with and what works best for him. And then we'll go from there. So this is what you guys are normally dealing with, right? Yeah. Typical goldens, right? Oh my goodness. So we'll probably, because he's so big and strong, we'll probably not go to a slip because that won't be safe. We'll probably just switch to a Hermespringer prong. Obviously this harness isn't going to work for you guys. I could get out some treats and maneuver him around, but that's only going to go so far because then it becomes a currency game. I tried that long enough with certain dogs to try to use just a harness and use a gentle eater, but the problem I found over time and time and time and time again with the clients that I was working with because it was, it was, it was something that I was like, Hey, let's try this and see if this works for you. Was simply that it became a currency game. So as soon as the dog actually had a different currency, so this dog, this dog is going to be a higher currency than the food that we would provide. And as soon as the food goes away, the dog doesn't sustainably understand what we're asking him or her to do. And I, and I tried that for a long time and I've always used all sorts of different types of tools ever since I've started working with dogs. But like we were saying with other dogs, I started off as a dog walker and all of the dogs that I worked with, literally hundreds of weeks. It was before I even trained dogs. I really dreaded this type of setup because my back is actually messed up now. I have to go to chiropractic therapy. I had, I had, I had two since I was 25 years old, mainly because of that. So I don't, I want you guys to be able to bring him for a walk with the family and enjoy him.  Dogs just like kids and kids just like dogs need structure, guidance, leadership, boundaries. And if not, it's going to be a tough time. Couple of things that we're going to do even before we, we, we teach Heal is he has to understand the pressure. There's a lot of different ways to use training tools off. Good. Off. So he jumps up on me.  So you guys saw that correction. So that punishment right there was precise. He didn't squeal. He didn't go, Oh my God. This is terrible. He just goes, Hey, that was a little uncomfortable and I did it quick and it just gets his attention and it disrupts what he's doing. Crew Heal. Come on. Good boy. So just, it just gets his attention. Yep. That's it. It's an, it's a communication tool. Heal. Heal. So it's important that you guys see those corrections because a lot of people think it's like this. It's not. He's just like, Hey, what do you want this way? Crew. Come. Yes. Good boy. Good job. Crew. Little pressure. Come. I want you guys to watch his mental. Watch his mental. Crew. Come. Pressure. Good. Come. Marking it. Crew. Come. Yes. Good. Come. Here's the test towards you guys. Crew. Come. Yes. Good boy. Well done. See. So he made the mental decision to say, You know what, man? I'm going to go with you. So I'm not doing this anymore. He just said, Yeah, I'm going to go with you. So that's a top behavior.  Crew. Come. Yes, buddy. Good job. Lots of positive reinforcement. Crew. Come. Yes. Good man. Well done, buddy. Good boy. Good boy. We'll see if we'll jump. Good. Normally he'd jump, right? No jumping. Why? Because dogs have the ability to cognitively remember punishment just like kids. Last time I did this, my iPhone got taken away. I'm not doing that anymore.  You're going to get hurt. I love you. Therefore, I care. Therefore, I'm going to punish you for something that could potentially end up hurting you. Of course, what I like to do is now just give him a little bit of reward. And I have little tiny pieces of treat. So I'm just going to do the same thing. I'm just going to implement maybe a little bit of food. I'm not going to be pes dispensing because then I don't know if he's learning or not. So he'll crew. He'll good. He'll good job, crew. Good crew. He'll well done, big man. He'll. Yes. You see that turn? I was brilliant. Very good. Well done. Now I can feed them. Yep. Crew sit. Yes. Good. Calm. No jumping. He's not in my face. He's not. I'm just like, Hey, man, good job. So I just went four or five times. I said, Hey, let's go this way. He said, Yep, sure. Hey, let's go. And it's all verbal. I didn't have to use the collar at all. I just said, Hey, let's do this. Let's do that. And he did wonderful. So again, when we talk about is the collar suppressing his behavior where he's like, man, I really want to go there. Absolutely not. I just I turn and I say crew here is like, Sure, no problem. I got it because you taught me. And I go the other way. And he's like, Yep, sure. And then after four or five times, he sits and he's like, Okay, bam. And he gets paid. And he's like, Yes. Heck yeah. Alright, you guys want to try? Go ahead. And then a little pop. Yep. Perfect. Good turn again. Good heel. Make sure you reward him. Good heel. So when he turns, you see that turn? That's when you reward him. Okay, we'll do a couple laps with you. At this point, I have no idea. You just got to stop a long truck. Alright, guys, so I grabbed the coda and we're going to see how he does with her. The other thing you can do is like redirect this way. He'll good heel, good heel. He'll remember we talked about like reward based systems. So we come around to her. Sit. There you go. Good heel. Make sure you praise him lots for that. Good heel. Back again. Good. Nice. She's no, you're good. Just let him be a dog. And once this dog comes through and walks and he just watches. Yes. So this is the test that we like, even if he gets up, just put him back into a sit. But remember, we talked about suppression versus actually modifying. So watch. Yep. Do I say anything beforehand or not? Nope. You can just say good sit. But try to be neutral with it. Not like too rewarding because then he might get up. That's where you'd pay him. So you get two dogs. This is actual proof that he's actually sitting there and he's making a better decision based off of the training that we've done. And now you can actually have a dog and yeah, be a human being and that's where you get lots of payment. Very, very good. What'd you guys think of that? Very good. Very good. Guys, here comes a very wild Lakota. Oh, good girl. Alright, so great video guys. Really great progression. And more importantly, the owners are now going to be able to enjoy the dog that they have. For the longest time, they literally couldn't bring the dog anywhere because he was pulling all over the freaking place. And it was just really frustrating for him. So really great progress.

Peace. So get closer to us. They need to see Zach, Bert, and I. So just the back end. And like her back end is actually pretty good. I've been looking on it since I have a lot of extra time with COVID. Good. Yes. Good. See?


The local government is the closest government to the people. The local government is meant to be in charge of basic education as primary school. They are also in charge of primary health. They are also in charge of the environment, your streets, your drainage, and everything that really affects your day-to-day well-being. And we found out that the quality of governance at that level is borderline non-existent. You know, when you ask people who they are council or local government chairmen, they struggle to remember. And we felt that we need to start populating governance at that level with competent people that can add value. And that was the reason why we felt we should try out at the local government level. One of the reasons why we decided to try leki in particular is because of the demography of people, the socio-economic class of the people living in leki. We felt that they would understand our brand of politics better. They are largely middle-class, upper-class, and they understand the politics of policies as against if we go to a more local government where the majority are working class. They usually believe in the politics of stomach infrastructure, as we call it. These are too difficult for them to start thinking about a year's time, two years' time, three years' time. It's all about quick reward. You know, they can't do the further gratification. That's why we targeted leki and that's why we felt the local government needs to be addressed. The thinking is also if you have good primary education, if you have good primary health care, if your streets are clean, you stand a chance in the world to make progress in life. After we decided to run, you know, the campaign was fully active. We went into all the different communities around in our constituency. We bonded with the communities, we presented our vision. The campaign had two priorities, environment and job creation, which I believe are tied together because the constituency was completely ungoverned when you look at the state of our environment and the terms of young people who just, you know, mail us out with nobody engaging them. So we went in with a very clear vision to clean up the environment and also engage with young people by giving them jobs. And that was very welcome, you know, by the communities, you know, they received us well and we got a lot of buy-in from young people. But at the background, you know, a lot was happening. The youth party illegally registered a party with the independent national electoral commission. But somehow we were not being allowed to participate in all the pre-election processes. You know, our names did not come out on the forms, our names did not, you know, we just were not sure whether we were actually going to, you know, be on the ballot paper at the end of the day. So it was more like we were campaigning by faith in enough in a sense because, you know, we were doing all this work, we were getting a lot of people to support us, we were in a sense recruiting a lot of people, but we did not know whether at the end of the day, you know, when they go out to vote, they will actually see the youth party on the ballot paper. The exclusion really affected us. In a simplistic term, there was no level playing field. Our ability to raise campaign funds was largely impaired because you can imagine, I'm coming to you to ask you to donate to the campaign and you are being told that we're not a registered party. You are not going to give us time and if you give us time, you probably won't give us money. Also, we're being demarcated among the electorate.  People want to support a potential winner. You know, why should we support you? Why should we campaign for you when you might not even be on the ballot paper? And what is quite obvious to us and everybody is that you have a biased empire. You know, you have people that have an interest. They are more or less referees that are wearing the gist of the other team and they have no apologies about it. They do it openly. So before the election, while everyone was focusing on campaign, was focusing on other things, our resources and attention were divided between the court and campaign and also even persuading our party members that, you know, that everything is under control that they should come on. So we were not given a level playing field. And when you talk about a free and fair election, it's not just on the election day. It's also about what happened before the election day. And there were some other people that were, some other things that were done to really create an imbalance. So I had contested in 2019. So as a result, I was preview to the kind of things that can happen on election day and before election day. So I'd offered my services to Tyra as a result to say, look Tyra, let me come with you. Let me be part of your team. Let me explain to the agents that we're going to get how it is important that they do certain things and kind of things they should look out for. No book tells you about election day. There's nothing that tells you what happens on election day. You read different things about how to go about the election. When the, you know, the part that you always hear is that, oh, people stay there and they protect their votes. But they don't protect the votes because at a certain point in time, Inet closes the books, everybody puts the things inside the book and then they go away. So from that point, that transit point, a lot more can happen as I would let you know as we go along. So on the day of the election, people have come, quite a number of people have come out because I don't saw an auntie of mine that come. But the, like I said, people went there. They didn't come on time. They only strode in at about maybe nine something they strode into the, to the place. The girl came with two booklets and the box where you put the, the ballot boxes where you put the things inside. And that was it. And then we were first to the first deliver, where she gonna sit. There were no seats, no seats, no table. I had to take out money, call one of the boys around there. We had to take an Okada to go and rent seats and chair, and the chair and the table for her to be able to sit. That was the first point. So at that point, after that was done, people that were hanging around, they obviously the agent for APC was there, agent for the other parties were there, PDP. There were just three of us at the polling unit anyway, we were just PDP, APC and youth party. They're just the three. So the other two agents were there waiting. They didn't even bite an eyelid. They didn't even say, why are you late? Why did you not come? Why have you just come? I was the only one that walked up to her, okay, so we set you up now, please can you bring out the ballot papers and your registered, your list, your registered voters list. Because it's important to balance the registered voters list with the ballot paper. When she bought out the registered voters list, I think we heard like about 70 something or registered voters on the list, and she only came with two booklet of ballot papers, one for the chairmanship and then the other one for the councilorship. And I said to her, why? We're already starting at a low place because right now you have a set, you have thousands registered voters and you only come with 200. Are you pre-empty? Are you saying that only 200 people are going to come out? This was when I first knew that there was a problem. Yes, we do know that there's voter apathy. We know that there's a low turnout of voters on the day of election. For them, for 200,000, there's nothing compared to it. While dealing with that one, I had to go away because I was, like I said, I was supervising all the other ones. I left someone in charge, went away, got to a polling unit, found out that a few of the polling units, there were no agents there, no polling boxes, nothing there. We started trying to trace where those ones were, and found out that they had gone to one place, or one was in Victoria Island instead of being in Lake Hill, which is it also. That was another problem, another hurdle we had to deal with. Then I got to a polling unit. I think, and I got there, and then I just suddenly noticed that the ballot paper was saying Euro VI, and this is also in Lake Hill. And at that point I said no, but it is not going to occur here. I mean, what's happening here? She said, oh, that she's not very comfortable with the area, and she just came from a different area. So that's what they gave to her. I'm like, it doesn't matter, call your office, call anybody that you need to call. But you cannot be voting for Euro VI in Lake Hill, where we are voting for different candidates completely. I mean, that's not going to work, and that's not on. We started with that process, I asked everybody to please not go to stop until they get someone to come and deal with the issue. We waited a while. Some of the polling units, the agents were asked to leave, they were not given access. I know that in some of the ones that they want the palace, for instance, the agents were not allowed to go in there. They were intimidated, they were told that they were beaten up, and of course they had to run for their lives. I mean, so like you think about it, like in five of the units, nothing happened because of intimidation. So we're intimidated, and all that happened. To the purpose of elections, to consult with the people and to validate and legitimize governments. The idea is that if the people express their opinion in a way that can be measured, then it gives authority to the governments to carry out acts in their name. If an election lacks legitimacy for any of those reasons, that is, it has not been a proper consultation, and you do not know what is the will of the people, then the legitimacy of the government is, by definition, affected. A low turnout election is considered in many electoral systems to be a dangerous problem, both for the progress of the democracy, the stability of society, and for the validity of the election itself. This is why in many countries, elections are voting as either compulsory, or an election is not regarded as valid unless various percentages, 60%, 50% have actually voted in that election. If 10% or 20% as we're seeing some of our elections in Nigeria is a mandate that is given to the government, then by any international standard, that election is one lack of legitimacy. It cannot be used as a basis for claiming a mandate for the many sweeping things the government has to do. There are political costs, obviously, of a persistently low mandate, and there's a legal cost in that in many rational legal systems, this sort of election is considered by definition illegitimate. And what happens, of course, is that there's a persistently low turnout election. Ultimately, people will stop voting and it will be recognized that a government that has no, you know, a point that people don't really get is that you cannot govern any territory by force alone. You cannot govern any territory by pretending to to have authority that authority is given by the people whether it's by measurable way on a measure, you cannot govern without consent. So if you learn about the soldiers and ledger they cannot cover legal states. How do you maintain order by people accepting across the board that you have the right to govern and that right in the democratic system comes from the exercise of political choice and election. This is a very interesting political process. And for those of us who have participated as Atari and the youth party. You need to continue to interrogate the mechanism by which that consultation is operated. And all the things that Mr. Locco has indicated. For me, as an individual that the Nigerian political elite, those who operate the system of elections, do not believe in the mechanism of democracy. They do not believe that the people should be consulted or that their opinion is valid, and that there is a consistent and systematic calculation to subvert the will of the people, while keeping the pretense of democracy they need to keep the pretense because they believe that they're legitimately elected governments, but they do not want to test their popularity or test the satisfaction of the people, or to test their accountability which they owe the people in the actual process. All those manipulations, all those efforts to dislocate the choice of the people, suppressing party representation, moving electoral ballots, counseling votes in specific areas, thuggery, violence, treating. These are all classified across the world as my practices, and that these are elements which undermine the religious election. The people were demanding for was a rerun because the election never took place. There were 16 polling units. Eight out of the polling units. There were voting instances. What do I mean by that. You have clear cases based on documents where 30 people are accredited to vote. The total number of votes were 300, 400. And according to the external electoral laws, that means election did not take place. It's a non-lity. That was the reason why we went to the electoral election tribunal. The other reason was that people came out in the morning and they made sure they were frustrated to go back. And it has not always been like this. 1999, the voters turnout was almost 50%. 2003, it was about 60 something percent. But as the system became brazenly unfair, people started losing interest. Even when they come out, they get frustrated. They bring the wrong ballot paper. They have different ways. Out of 16 polling units, eight of them were voting. There were other things. We are asking for a cancellation. We are asking for a rerun. polling unit 13 and 14 in particular. polling unit 13, election started at 3 o'clock or 3.15. For an election that was meant to start at 8 o'clock in the morning. Who is going to wait from 8 in the morning to 3 o'clock to vote? So by stop doing, you cannot say election in that place was done in substantial compliance with the law. In the result sheet, there was no result for polling unit 13. And the number of registered voters in polling unit 13 was more than the margin of victory between the winner and our candidate. So there was meant to be a rerun, but they didn't listen to us. The reason why they will continue to be voters apathy is that you have an empire that is openly biased. We went to the election of the Electoral Tribunal and part of the orders that was put in our way, for them to even settle the Electoral Tribunal, we have to threaten them. We have to write letters. We have to go to the press. You need to file your notice of petition within 20 days. Where are you going to find it? If the Electoral Tribunal, Election Tribunal is not constituted, we have to force them to constitute it. We have to force them to do everything. We have to pay in the last year to give us electoral materials. We paid through the nose. We paid officially over 300K, 500K to have those papers. We have to pay them to come. They made it very, very expensive. And they were not hiding it. Even in court. You see, last year, council announcing holding the brief of APC. They were not even beating around the bush. The system that we were up against was, was intimidating to say the least, you know, but we had to do it. We needed to interrogate the system. We needed to let the system know that we're going to ask questions. You can have your way, but we are going to have our seat. We're going to put the election, we're going to put it in the judicial system, we're going to put it in the public domain. And I think we've done that successfully. Information regarding elections needs to be democratized. It's not fair, and it doesn't make any sense that as a candidate running for an election, there's no transparent and legal process of me knowing the boundaries of my constitution. And that was, that was our experience. We were running for office and we had no idea what, what boundaries were. We had no idea what our policy needs to be. And this is not because we were not making an effort to find it. But why should we be making that much of an effort? This should be information that should publish records. Information cannot be weaponized against, you know, traitors, traitors in an electoral process. Where it seems that the electoral empire only shares with the select group of people and the rest of us are left to be in the dark. That is very, very biased and it's unacceptable. So that is an electoral reform that urgently needs to be carried out. And the first thing is the mode of appointment of INE commissioners and last year commissioners. I think it must reflect fairness. Whilst the president or the governor won the mandate quote unquote of the people. If the commissioners are 11, it should be allowed to choose maybe five, maybe four. And the rest should go to certain respected institutions. Be Nigerian Judicial Commission, be Nigerian Society of Engineering, be Nigerian Bar Association and bodies like that. And I think that's the only way you can have some level of fairness as long as a partisan body is choosing all the INE commissioners. The process is going to be brazenly rigged against everyone. I think for me that as the first one, I think the second one is the amendment of section 225A of the Constitution. I think it is accepted all over the world that multi-party democracy is the way forward. Now, that particular section is saying when you are registered as a party within a month, two months, the very first election, if you don't win something, you are going to be registered. So you're asking a child that was born yesterday to take an exam with a university graduate. Animals pass. So our thinking is a newly registered party must be given four to eight years to grow organically. It must make every process that you can easy to attain. Right now it's made difficult. It's made to discourage voting. It's made to be sure that only those who are die hard or who are steeped in the corruption of the system and are benefiting by that means are the ones who are persistent in voting. And so this is how I think that the future of democracy to answer your question and summary requires the widest participation of the widest number of people, as easy as possible means so that they have confidence in the legitimacy and accountability of their government.

So it's been a while, but I want to take some time to talk about Pete Buttigieg You know at the beginning of this race I actually Surprisingly praised him because his rhetoric when it comes to progressive issues was actually pretty refreshing So in an interview with morning Joe when the issue of health care and Medicare for all came up He said that it's not a radical idea Contrary to popular belief and that Medicare for all actually if you think about it is the real compromise policy between you know a capitalist Obama care type system and a National health care system like the UK has so single pair is Really the logical choice between those two extremes and I thought that it was such a phenomenal point to make and he really did seem To want to appeal to progressives But fast forward, you know about six or so months later And now he's having these private fundraisers in the Hamptons now Billionaires are flocking to his campaign and contributing and now he's going out of his way to lie about progressive policy proposals Like Medicare for all and he absolutely needs to be called out because it's one thing to say that you know You're not part of the progressive wing of the Democratic Party But to go out of your way and actively spread misinformation presumably at the behest of special interests that is Uniquely evil and yes I'm using the word evil because that's what that is if you are shilling for a system that Allows people to die or go bankrupt Because they don't have health insurance or maybe they have health insurance But they still can't afford a particular procedure that their insurance company won't cover. That's just pure evil I don't know what else to say how to be more charitable with that So one thing that has really stuck with me that has really got on gotten under my skin and I don't know if I talked about this in my debate analysis video is What he said about Medicare for all and this is what he said in response to Bernie Sanders talking about Medicare for all the problem Senator Sanders with that damn bill that you wrote and that senator Warren backs is that it doesn't trust the American people I Trust you to choose what makes the most sense for you Not my way or the highway now look I Think we do have to go far beyond tinkering with the ACA I propose Medicare for all who want it We take a version of Medicare We make it available for the American people and if we're right as Progressives that that public alternative is better than the American people will figure that out for themselves I trust the American people to make the right choice for them. Why don't you spoken like a true neoliberal nitwit? What he said there is Dissingenuous horseshit because to suggest that eliminating private health insurance companies somehow isn't Putting trust in the American people It's idiotic and you're framing this in a way that Conspicuously benefits the health insurance industry because Bernie Sanders has a Medicare for all bill that is so robust That it would effectively get rid of private insurance companies because if you ban duplicative care and you offer a comprehensive benefits You're not leaving any room for these health insurance companies So what does Pete Buttigieg say to that? Well, you are not trusting the American people to make their choice between a public system and A private system. Why should we remove quote-unquote choice from Americans? Why shouldn't we trust them? I trust the American people to make the right choice for them. Why won't you trust them? And that is where I call bullshit on that rhetoric and talking points because here's the thing to suggest that Wanting to get rid of these for-profit health insurance vultures means we don't trust the Americans to make their own decision is Absolutely nonsensical because of course we trust the American people to make their own decisions when it comes to health care But you see what he is proposing here is a false dichotomy of choice It's the illusion of choice that the choice when it comes to health care is between a public or private option But that's not the choice that we're looking for the choice comes into play When Americans have the ability to choose whatever doctor they want to go to whatever hospital They want because America becomes one big network because if I have the choice to see any doctor in the country That is true choice. That's giving me the freedom to do whatever I want to take my own Health care into my own hands and that's really what matters Choosing between private insurance and you know a public Medicare system That's not where the choice comes in. I don't want to worry about that Do you think that people are excited to fill out the paperwork and pay their monthly health insurance premiums? Of course, they're not so to say Bernie Sanders isn't trust the American people as someone who Claims he formally supported Medicare for all now. You're just lying now. You've become the enemy Pete now another thing that he said he followed up his attack on Medicare for all in an interview with CNN and What he said was also Nonsensical take a look as the youngest candidate in the field. I am obviously a believer in the power of generational change I also believe that a candidate at any age depending who they are can be a great president What we got to talk about right now is vision my concern about the vision from the Sanders Warren approach is that It can polarize Americans when we have other ways to deliver bold solutions Without dividing the American people further. So that right there shows exactly why he is not positioned to take on Donald Trump because what Democrats are failing to realize is that Polarization is a reality in American politics. It's an inescapable reality that you have to deal with Polarization will not be going away anytime soon so what makes more sense to try to bring those two polarized halves together during the process of an election or Actually craft a strategy Taylor made for polarization and then once you get elected try to bring people together by passing popular policy proposals You see if you try to pretend like America isn't polarized and that you know Bernie Sanders and Elizabeth Warren are Furthering that divide you're being a useful idiot because we're already polarized.  Okay, he's not trying to appeal to moderate Democrats He's not appealing to the left in any way shape or form. So why should Democrats appeal to moderates that don't really exist anymore in a polarized environment when they could excite the base go after Non-voters and perhaps win larger than they've ever won before I mean think about this if you're worried about polarization and trying to reach out to Moderates, we already saw how that strategy plays out at the national level. It leads to Republicans winning Hilary loss. She tried that she picked a VP that was to her right when she was already a center-right politician So what do you want? What are you going after you honestly think that Medicare for all is polarizing then explain Why some polls show that a majority of Republicans support it explain why it's overwhelmingly popular with the Democratic Party base? See, I'm preaching to the choir Pete Buddha judge is smart enough to know that everything I'm saying is true But he's choosing to lie and be disingenuous because this is a political tactic You see when you start going down in the polls and you kind of lose that status as being one of the front runners What you have to do an electoral strategy is to attack the front runner It makes sense. So I get it. But you see if he wants to criticize Bernie Sanders You can do that in a way where you're not lying about Medicare for all because Bernie Sanders is not above criticism I personally have criticisms of Bernie Sanders from the left the problem though is that Pete Buddha judge is a Centrist he is to the right of Bernie Sanders So he can't actually come across as a progressive and Criticized Bernie Sanders from the left because he is to Bernie Sanders right. So what does he do what everyone else does? He lies about Bernie Sanders policies and that doesn't just hurt Bernie That hurts everyone that hurts grassroots activists who have been fighting for Medicare for all for years So shame on Pete Buddha judge.  He's vapid and he just cares about his own career. He's not fighting for the people He's looking out for himself. He's an opportunist and that's why he's in the race period


A warm welcome to the 16th session in the fourth module on signals and systems. We have now looked at the importance of rational systems in the continuous independent variable case. We have recognized what the importance is and let us write that down once again with great clarity. Rational systems, they correspond to linear constant coefficient differential equations L double CDEs as we call them. You will remember again that we talked about this to the end of module 1 and we had emphasized that this is the typical kind of system description that you encounter in nature at least as far as linear approximations are concerned, linear shift invariant approximations are concerned. In the first module, we also saw a great deal of these examples. We saw some RC circuit, we saw the corresponding mechanical analogs and of course, you could build higher order systems that is not an issue. But this class of systems is very fundamental, very important in the whole domain of engineering. So rational systems have a physical importance. Of course, we also have certain mathematical conveniences. For example, now we are very clear how we can invert a rational Laplace transform. And now let us formalize that and introduce something more in the context of rational systems. So you see a rational of course, you know we were talking about rational Laplace transforms and I brought in the idea of a system where that Laplace transform corresponds to the impulse response of a linear shift invariant system. So in general, we are talking about rational Laplace transforms. So rational systems are linear shift invariant systems with a rational system function. So there are two or three things that need to be emphasized here. The moment you say rational system, you automatically mean it is linear and shift invariant and you automatically mean that it is impulse response has a Laplace transform. Let us make that very clear, let us write that term. So rational system is one linear shift invariant with an impulse response which has a Laplace transform. The Laplace transform of the impulse response is rational in the Laplace variable s. So essentially it is of the form numerator series in s divided by denominator series in s and notably both these series are finite series. This is important. The finite part is important. It is not alright to have infinite series. Let me give you a very simple example of a system which is irrational and where you can of course have a very simple infinite series. It is interesting. If you have a simple delay, so let us show that, consider the following linear shift invariant system. Let us call it s. So it is a very simple system description. Y of t is x of t minus tau. Tau is fixed. It is a constant. We can very easily obtain the system description here and the corresponding impulse response. So the impulse response is very simple. Apply an impulse. It would be simply delta t minus tau. So simple. And of course this has a Laplace transform. The system function which is the Laplace transform of the impulse response is of course e is the power minus s tau. It is an irrational system function and therefore this is an irrational system. So what is wrong with that? What is wrong with being irrational? Well it is only rational systems which are truly realizable. This is a very interesting idea. Let me emphasize that it is a very important idea we have said. Only rational systems are realizable at least as of the current date, meaning they can be realized or they can be implemented with finite resource. This is important with finite resources. You see you can always ask to implement a system with an infinite resource but that is not practical. So that is very interesting. We are saying if you have an ideal delay or an ideal shift operator it is not exactly realizable or it is not realizable to an exact form by using a finite resource. You can approximate it. In fact this is one of the difficulties in control systems. So you know there people do bring in irrational systems into control, into control engineering but there are issues with it. You can also realize a delay to within a certain approximation that is you know you can make it behave like a constant delay for a large range of inputs and so on. That is possible. So you can always approximate an irrational system as much as you desire but you can never realize an irrational system exactly with finite resources that is the problem. So there is something bad quote unquote bad about irrational systems in that they are not really realizable and of course if you look at this system function e raised to the power minus s tau it cannot be expressed as a ratio of finite series. However, it can be expanded as an infinite series. We can certainly write a Taylor series expansion for this function and let us do that just for completeness. We can expand. This is the Taylor series. In fact you will recall that the Taylor series of e raised to the power of x is summation l going from 0 to infinity x to the power l by l factorial where we should interpret 0 factorial as 1 and 1 factorial also as 1 and following that l factorial is equal to l times l minus 1 factorial for l greater than 1. So for example 2 factorial would be 2 into 1 and 3 factorial would be 3 into 2 into 1 and so on. You will recall that this factorial has a role to play in permutations. So if you have n objects and you want to permute them the factorial is involved recall that yourself. Anyway here it occurs more as a mathematical part of the Taylor series expansion. But what I am trying to say is that if you look at this this is indeed a fine it is not a finite series but this is an infinite length series and unfortunately it cannot be converted to a ratio of finite series. In contrast you know why I am making a point of this cannot be converted is because we may tend to think that the moment you see an infinite length series there you are born it is not rational that is not true. Let us take a very simple example or a counter example to illustrate my point let us take simply 1 by s minus a. Now we can easily expand this if we take into account the conditions on s. So you know we can always write this if you like as 1 by you see you can write that is 1 plus s by minus a you know and then multiply by minus a again in the denominator. So you could do this and then you could of course expand 1 by 1 minus x in the form summation n going from 0 to infinity x to the power n under conditions under the condition mod x less than 1. So here too if somebody wishes to if he puts the condition mod s by a less than 1 which of course is not very meaningful he could make an expansion it would also be an infinite length expansion but we do not we are not talking about that you see the point is whether you can collapse that infinite series into either a finite series or ratio of 2 finite series that is the point for e raised to the power of x we cannot do it and therefore we say the system is irrational. I just wanted to make it clear what irrational means and why irrational is a problem and again this is to reemphasize why we are so fond of rational systems at least in a first course. So now that we have understood the importance of rational systems we must now see how you characterize rational systems. I said you know we are more generally talking about rational Laplace transform but since we want to associate them with systems we would first like to talk about rational systems and then talk about rational Laplace transform the principles are the same you do not have to really make any new principles when dealing with rational Laplace transforms in general. Anyway let us look at the rational system there is a ratio of 2 finite length series. Let us put the numerator and the denominator separately equal to 0. What does it give us? What is the significance of this? How does it help us invert the Laplace transform? These are questions which will not only help us invert the Laplace transform corresponding to system function or the rational Laplace transform but they will also give us certain fundamental insights into the system. We shall take this up in detail in the next session. Thank you.
