This is a slam poem that I wrote called Metamorphosis of a Nation. America, land of the free, the new world, the revolution. Enjoying our youth for over 200 years, we are stuck in perpetual motion, building factories, roads, bridges, connections, leaving in our wake fractured habitats and polluted waters. America, land of the free, where everyone has a voice. Five amendments to our Constitution about voting. Our politicians are still guided by money over ballots. Corporations pull the strings and pull another natural wonder out of our world. Dump waste into another wetland, corner another species into extinction. Our country was born out of an expanse of wilderness. We are another civilization carpeting the land of the mother we have neglected. We have carved through her figure with construction sites, drilled deep to pull fuel from the depths of the soil, studded the landscape with power lines, flushed the water with the byproducts of our creations, sparked fires and unleashed storms and droughts. We have changed her climate with our reckless emissions, but our mother still supports us. Our eyes are open now to the pain we have caused in every stride forward. We are making different trails now, step by step across these green hills we are marching for her. This is the voice of the children and we demand justice. We insist on innovation. We have seen a future where the waters run out, our descendants will be ghosts of our prominence and we refuse to accept the excuse of our own short timelines. It is never too late to choose action. Every single one of you is critical to systematic change, to fight the choices of our nation's past. America, land of the free, come stand with me. Each one of you is here because you believe in a movement greater than yourself. Each one of you is here despite and because of your individual stories. Each one of you is here, a collection of young pioneers. We are reshaping an entire culture. Our lives will not be built around stuff. They will be constructed with conscience for the mother we share. America, land of the free, the new world, the revolution, here today in all of us. Oh wow, that was awesome. Okay, so next we have another student from CDU. Her name is Julia Grant, so if you could give her a welcome. I'd like to start by thanking you all for showing up today. It's because of people like all of you that change can and will occur. After all, we are inhabitants of a planet that survives because of its ability to adapt. We can see examples of this in our seasons, the most basic form of change. When the once green leaves adorning the trees around us turn various shades of red, orange, yellow, and eventually brown. When the same trees grow and shed their leaves to welcome a new season, this seems to be merely a fact, but when we look deeper within this normalcy, it is here we can learn that change is expected and necessary. Growth is vital to our well-being. We are surrounded by lessons like these that are embedded in nature every single day, yet few take the time to recognize them. We continually fail to listen to the voice of nature even though it has already taught us so much. If people would only listen to the signs surrounding us, more would know that currently we are facing one of the largest environmental crises this planet has ever seen. And 97% of climate scientists agreed is our fault. Our greed, our need for more, our thirst for bigger and better technology, and an abundance of disposable resources. There are still people who have chosen to ignore its existence altogether and refuse to accept the harsh reality of this problem. But how can one deny the authenticity of climate change and environmental damage when it is agreed upon by our most trustworthy scientific sources? According to NASA, since the beginning of the Industrial Revolution, the acidity of surface ocean waters has increased by about 30%. As told by National Geographic, the number of climate-related disasters has more than tripled since 1980, and 5.25 trillion pieces of plastic debris litter our precious oceans. 5.25 trillion. We cannot keep pretending this isn't a problem. As said by English author Robert Swan, the greatest threat to our planet is the belief that someone else will save it. I hope that all of us can learn to take responsibility for our part in environmental relief efforts. We need to be the voice for the silent. I challenge all of you to think about the choices you make every day and to speak loudly about the things that matter most to you. We need to teach the place that has taught us so much that we can take care of it. And it starts with you. Thank you. Alright, nice job, Emma. So... Alright, now we're going to have Emma and Nadia from Montpelier High School. And they're going to do another speech, so... At Montpelier High School. People can make a difference in societies around the globe. Gun legislation. The persistence and impassioned dedication of Vermont youth to the gun safety debate made Governor Scott dance on gun safety. Inspired the Vermont legislature to enact three gun safety bills which were signed into law just yesterday by Governor Phil Scott on these... There's to change gun legislation and... Be the change you wish to see in the world. Justice for this planet starts from the ground up. Change we wish to see. Change for the planet starts with you. It begins with each of us. It begins with the decision to care. To care about the earth. About the global community. Safety and the future of the planet. We... Students and the next generation of leaders to hold those in positions of power responsible for their lack of action in dealing with climate change. We politicians, musicians and explorers of the future. And our children and their children and the next seven generations and more will... In which our leaders are not politically passive. We expect our leaders not to pander to big oil and other polluting industries. This future is attainable and it is not just our opportunity to fight for the future that we desire but it is our responsibility to ensure that future generations never endure the struggle for clean water, clean air and resources that are vital to our sustainability as humans. It is attainable because our generation is full of young people in pioneering new technology that allows for more sustainable ways of living. We are leaders that recognize that we must all make change in our every mental policy change in order to combat this environmental crisis. Recognize the destruction of the environment directly contributes to the destruction of human rights. Most importantly, we are leaders that... Something so massive as climate change can seem to be a daunting, almost impossible task collective reservation or anything in between. If you don't know where to begin but you want to be involved continue to seek opportunities like this one. Join students by testifying for carbon pricing plans clean water and clean air policies. It is not just our desire to protect and defend the environment on which we depend, it is our vital necessity. And we can do this! And Alyssa from Randolph, so let's give them a round of applause. Alright, we're both seniors at Randolph. Okay, so we just had like a very quick speech that we wanted to give you about what we feel is the most powerful thing involved in activism and how we can all kind of take hold of that and use it powerfully today. So, earlier this year our school participated in the nationwide walkout in protest of school violence. How many of you were involved in that movement? Students were part of organizing that. We found while planning that our community, small though it may be, reflects our country right now. Division. Everyone has a different idea about how to solve the issue of school violence. So we kept the walkout free of politics and instead made the focus safety and solidarity. We wanted to emphasize that the purpose of the walkout was to unify the conversation in our school. And we were amazed by the diversity of opinion that showed up when we advertised it that way. The reason we wanted to emphasize unity was because we feel that productivity is halted by division. When we unified and had a diverse range of opinions represented at our walkout, then we were able to have open conversations with each other. Moving forward, this has been invaluable in our efforts in creating a safe school community. The same goes for enacting climate justice. If we want to make true and effective change, it's necessary to listen to each other, to educate each other, and to encourage and collaborate with each other. This rally exactly reflects that. And you're all here, which is amazing. Vermont's pretty tiny, but we've got such a range of opinions and especially youth voice is super, super important. So let's take advantage of that and set the example for our lawmakers and talk with people who have different opinions today. And if you look around and you don't find anybody with radically different ideas, find them when you go home or tomorrow at school. Start a dialogue. When you're talking to people who might have a different idea about the causes or even existence of climate change, let's not immediately dismiss what they're saying. It's wild how easy it is to say but how ineffective it is to be like, no, you're wrong, even if you like really, really feel that. You should listen to them fully and in a respectful way and try to understand why they feel the way that they do. Learning to respect the opinions of others is one of the first things we are taught in school, but it feels like our country is lacking in that area right now. And it's because of this divide that we are not progressing. Let's show them how it's done. Let's engage with each other and work to understand everyone's needs so that we can accomplish effective change. Thank you very much. That was amazing. Up next, we have Ori and Anna from Harwood. That ends us that our government, both local and federal, are taking baby steps towards putting an end to climate change. With Trump in office, we've taken steps backwards, pulling out of the Paris Agreement, taking away policies set in place under the Obama administration to protect our futures. Even in Vermont, very little is getting done when it comes to climate change policy. There were only three bills related to climate change in this year's legislator. Leisure. Three bills. We are one of the most progressive states in the country, and yet we are not paving the way for a cleaner future. This is why we rally. We are sick and tired of watching the grown-ups in the room mess with our lives and our planet. Climate change is intertwined with so many issues. It sometimes astounds me when someone says it's not a problem, or that they know it's real, but there are other issues at hand, or even worse, saying it's too late to make a change. Climate change impacts us here in the U.S. with fluctuation in weather patterns, but communities around the world are often affected much worse. Here in the U.S., we have recently seen extreme heat waves, heavy downpours and flooding that destroys human infrastructure as well as the land. While these are devastating towards our country, we are overall a nation that has the money and the infrastructure to help these people in need. Developing countries around the world will be hit the hardest because they do not have the resources to address these impacts. Wouldn't we rather be known as the country who created a better future for everyone than the country who stood by while the world around it crumbled? The United Nations is warning that we are now on a course of such significant effects of global warming that it will ultimately redraw the map of the world. The truth is, in Vermont, our safe haven, we will be affected by climate change, but other places that are on the world will be hit even harder. People who are living in poverty don't release as many emissions as people in our country, and yet they will be affected the most by it. That doesn't seem fair. When places more vulnerable like Puerto Rico, the Virgin Islands, and Florida get destroyed from mass hurricanes, we send our condolences and try to get a plane ticket refund. We could go on and on with places around the world that are being greatly affected. The Amazon, which provides a habitat for many species, is in a source of carbon sequestration being cut down. The polar ice caps that are melting at an alarming rate and making sea levels rise. Alps, which are suffering from increasing temperatures. Venice, a historical site is drowning. The Great Barrier Reef, which is suffering from coral bleaching. The Maldives is at risk of completely sinking. And even our Florida Keys are at risk of going under. What will affect us here in our home, we will feel temperatures increase and more drastic weather events. We all remember Irene and how it affected our lives and our communities. Do we really want to go through another devastation like that? Our ski industry will be hit in our maple industry. We have to remember that we may not be as hit as hard as other places, more vulnerable regions around the world, but we need to stand in solidarity with those communities that are being affected by climate change and it's everyone's fight. We are so proud of everyone who came today and it shows you care and it shows the strength of the youth and the impact we can make. When the Parkland students came together and united the youth of America, it showed just how powerful we really are. We are fed up and we are angry at the mistreatment of our planet. We are starting a movement here in Vermont and we must make ourselves heard until something changes. Not only here, but across the globe. This is our future. This is the future for us as youth and for our children and generations to come. Keep doing what you came here for. Challenge our politicians and our leaders. Most of us cannot vote, but we can lobby and we can rally and we can organize. So never, please, never lose your passion for climate justice because we can make a difference in the world. Up next we have Eric from U32. So I wrote this last night and I lost some sleep to it, but I felt like I had something important to say. What we need is a little bit of justice for Mother Earth. For too long have we ignored the suffering of ourselves whoever that may be while ignoring the suffering of the rest of the people on what you could call the being of this planet. What has been forgotten is the wisdom of our mother and ourselves. We must remember that we are one with the mother each other and ourselves causing a hurt to the whole planet and all the various beings found here. I will proceed to ask a series of questions for all of us to ponder together throughout my expression of how suffering affects our great mother. Blacks were stolen from Africa. I refuse to use the phrase African American until the rest of our language properly reflects this history meaning that white people would be called European Americans.  Europeans are but immigrants as well. These stolen people had been subjected to numerous injustices by the degree of murder by slaveholders. Not a single time has there been justice or accountability to the murder of this slave. When this authoritarianism is risen up against there has been full justification of the white assaulting party murdering when a hand is raised in self-defense. Slavery has morphed into the new Jim Crow and mass incarceration. Only now the privatized prisons are the slave owners. The black skin in our society is still a justification for death. So what is the answer to solve the issue of race? In addition to this what is the answer to the Kurdish question? Kurdistan is an area of 450,000 square kilometers found in the fertile crescent of the Middle East. The Middle East as educated peoples know is dominated by numerous conflicts. This is also true of the Kurdish question to the most complex and bloody fields of conflict in the Middle East that still awaits a solution. These Kurdish peoples have been fighting authoritarian colonization or conquest by foreign powers since time in memorial. The question of peace in Kurdistan did not come out of the blue. It is a product of the long historical process. Not in our name should our government bomb innocent civilians, kill children and provide funding or weaponry for the annihilation of families on foreign soil and we must always ponder a solution to the raping of our mother in society. An answer to this product of separation that has been maintained through authoritarianism coming from an unbalance and polarity. How can we change this current patriarchal system? This systematic system this systematic slavery first started when we created the concept of the state 5000 years ago. First examples of patriarchal systems are found in the first civilization, Sumeria. There is endless examples of how this system manifests sexism across the world. No longer will I dance with the devil. We must hear loud and clear the cry of the Mitsu movement. No longer can powerful men get away with harassment, assault and rape. Men themselves are also suffering in the patriarchal or authoritarian world society. As Hayward Burns would say quote, ours is a government of men, not laws. It has been that way from the beginning. In fact, it is not even a government of men, it is a government of some men. It has always been those who have been excluded from the decisions that intimately affect their lives the poor, the non-white women. This results in a game of power that exists of men over men. End quote. Privilege does not make one happy because happiness is a completely connected to a mental reality or psychological process. People are suffering in third world countries and people are also suffering greatly in first world countries. This is clear when you realize that for every 100,000 people roughly 13 commit suicide annually in the US. Also let's not forget the deaths of mass shootings and drug use like that of opioids. Our language reflects our culture and our culture reflects our language. The illusion of separation is very prevalent in English and every other Latin derived language. Consequence being our current relationship with Mother Earth who is really us because no matter how many labels our language believes there are there is no separation. We are the youth waking up and we can be an expression of what Abdul Oklan, the leader of the Kurdish movement states as his vision for a liberating change how quote what has been constructed by the human hand can be demolished by the human hand and quote we are the next generation and sincerely the last hope before in my opinion humans continue on their dystopian path of patriarchal authoritarianism and the enforcement of this repeating cycle of ever increasing suffering that the whole biosphere of the planet can feel a suffering that can lead to death and extinction we are the peoples of Mother Earth and our lifestyle is intimately influential on the whole planet as intelligent bacteria we must be careful and not forget this relationship how can we solve all of these issues and remember history I apologize but I don't have these answers to these questions but I sure as hell would like to find the answers and I ask for your help if you also see humanity crossing a line with climate change then we must all unite to have a conversation so we can collectively learn and come up with a solution thank you Up next we have one of our first keynote speakers Elizabeth come on up Hi everybody, my name is Elizabeth Morris I'm a little older than a few of you I'm 23 years old and I'm here to speak as a young person who works in politics I'm a member of HRS and Peter Balchist staff and I just want to say that at first hand seeing the impact that youth activism can have on politicians especially in Vermont the youth rallies, the phone calls and emails do matter and he hears every single one of you so I want to say that absolutely can our voices matter so let's keep fighting to keep our voices heard, contact your local legislators, contact Congressman Welch speak up it's absolutely unbelievable that President Trump and some congressional members have ignored overwhelming scientific evidence supporting climate change seems that every month the new administration has got another environmental protection and is moving our nation backwards and in doing so, they're also stifling the economy the solar industry provides over 17,000 jobs in Vermont, those are your jobs you'll be graduating soon and those are things that you might want to pursue and yet Trump stops terrifying them so like I said as a young person who works in politics, keep it up thank you you all are rocking it I'm so honored to be here to have been a part of this event this is my third year coming to Youth Lobby Day I've met amazing students this is one of my favorite things to do so thanks so much for having me to close this out today so I'm an organizer for an organization called Rights and Democracy we're a multi-issue organization that works on issues of justice hearing on the state of Vermont we're currently working on a $15 minimum wage bill up in the state house yeah because people here in Vermont are living in poverty a few months ago I met a woman at an event who told me the story of her family climate refugees from Hurricane Katrina who had resettled in Houston like many others who had been impacted by the storm this year they lost their home once again in Hurricane Harvey they now face the prospect of rebuilding their lives for the second time I carry their story with me it repeats over and over again in the narrative of climate change and climate justice even now though I have been uplifted by the tremendous stories of neighbors and friends and clergy members and ordinary people who have come out who have shown up just like you have done today stories of business owners direct service providers and organizations that are giving food and housing and rescue it is in this deep lesson that I take away that when the going gets tough it's your community that gets going convinced that the most important work that we can be doing right now in the face of climate change and the changing world in general is growing and fostering the resilience of our communities that means better infrastructure for renewable energy electric buses for our schools smart economic solutions towards carbon and putting a stop to all fossil fuel infrastructure in our state it also means we have to work together we need to recognize the power of our collective actions and we need to be questioning questioning the status quo the business as usual practices that got us here in the first place we need to work towards an energy system that is both democratized and decentralized create economies rooted in solidarity not profit collectivism not capitalism in our organizing now we have to make sure we're practicing how to feed people distribute resources make decisions and create a government that works for people in equity I am so convinced that it is you guys here in this crowd today the youth who are singularly able to build a new world in the shell of the old I tell you this now I believe that we are not going to make this world better solely by passing progressive policy after progressive policy it is not how we are going to fix racism dismantle patriarchy or heal one another it's going to happen one handshake and hard conversation at a time it means that as our communities are threatened or under attack we are going to have to address human rights movement generation and Oakland based people of color led organization says this the transition is inevitable justice is not that means that in this world that we all participate in we need to do the work to address cultural oppression of people of color of women of the poor it means building relationships now as opposed to when the hurricane hits if we are ever going to survive the effects of climate change we are going to need to be building vast overlapping networks of justice this is why we need to fight back we need to fight back against a world that is bootstrapping us into thinking we function as individuals and not as friends instead we need to remember that we are only as good as the people who will stand up with us instead we can recognize that this is a deeply relational movement that we are building we need to understand and deepen our understanding about how social ills are connected and socially constructed more importantly how our own compliance our own consent tips the scales from democracy to fascism and we need to do everything this is it we need to do everything we need we need to run for office we need to shut down pipelines we need to party together and to play and keep building those relationships we need to address inequality and oppression I am very hopeful for the leader full movement I see in front of me and for the work that we are all doing together yeah you guys are going to keep doing this work I know that, forever, everyday somebody said earlier today who was speaking earlier Eric he clutched his chest and was like I am going to be doing this for the rest of my life I am excited to grow in the practice of resistance with you all I look forward to reimagining and re-envisioning with you to put it really simply together we win


3 Tips on Managing a Large Class. This article will explain how varying class grouping, visual aids, and student-to-student interaction can help manage a large class. Possible Challenges. Teaching English to a large class can seem like a daunting task, because the students may have different levels of English learning at the beginning of the class, and will likely each learn at their own pace. Unlike tutoring one-on-one, in a large class, the teacher does not have the benefit of being able to listen closely, and identify personalized issues for each student. What one student may do well, another might be struggling with, and without being able to listen individually to each student every class, it might be difficult to gauge what individual problems might arise. Another issue that might arise when teaching a large class, is keeping every student engaged, especially with all class discussions where only a few students may get the opportunity to speak, and also with keeping students from speaking to each other in their native language. This last issue is not a problem in heterogeneous classes where the students may have a variety of native languages, however in a homogenous class where all the students speak the same language, keeping them engaged enough to only speak English may pose a problem. 1. Grouping. One way to handle a large class is to vary the class grouping, that is, do some activities together as a class, some in small groups, some in pairs, and some individually. During different class arrangements, during the same lesson will provide much needed variety, so that the students do not get bored. Also, some students function better in small groups, while introverted students probably prefer to work individually. This way, each student can participate in an activity that plays to their strengths. Something to be careful of here is too much movement and regrouping around the classroom, so that it takes too much time and distracts from the lesson. One way to address this issue, is to arrange the classroom based on the lesson needs at the start of the class, so that groups are already formed when the time comes for a group or pair work. 2. Visual aids. Using visual aids is another way of keeping students engaged and on task. For example, utilizing the board in order to write out an agenda at the beginning of class, so that students can keep track of what activities or assignments they need to complete, before the end of class. Boardwork can also be helpful, because it illustrates concepts that students may not retain just by hearing them, and allows students to copy down in their notes important parts of the lesson, such as vocabulary and grammar rules. Boardwork can also be used to engage individual students as well as the whole class, for example putting up gap fill exercises on the board for all students to try, and then calling on specific students to demonstrate the correct answers for the class. 3. Student-to-student interaction. An important aspect of managing a large class is increasing student-to-student interaction. Because there is only one teacher in a large class, student-to-teacher interactions may be limited. However, students can practice their fluency and ask questions about new concepts with each other, discovering the language together. Student-to-student interaction is a critical part of the learning process, because it gives students the ability to explore language, without worrying about correction or being right in front of a teacher. Pairing stronger students together with weaker students, have also proved a successful way of encouraging student-to-student collaboration, therefore building rapport within the classroom. Students learn at different paces, and therefore having extra material and exercises, available for students who may finish quicker than there. Here's can keep these students continually engaged, even once they have finished the assignment. Have extra crosswords, word searches, or other worksheet activities to distribute to students who may finish sooner. Even within a large classroom, it is important for each student to feel seen by the teacher. Name game activities at the beginning of class, especially at the start of the school year, can help teachers remember the name of each student. Also, having students fill out pre-course questionnaires about their likes, dislikes, and goals, can help teachers better identify students, and also gauge initial levels of language proficiency across the classroom. Better to teach abroad? Get TEFL certified. In conclusion, there are many strategies teachers can use in order to make a large class feel more personable and manageable. Grouping students into pairs and small groups can be an easy way to engage all students in each activity, while also letting the teacher roam around the classroom to monitor individual progress. Varying group sizes and activities, which is especially doable in an ESA lesson plan, can appeal to different students' learning advantages, so that there are at least a few activities each class that appeals to each student's strengths.


He can then go beyond his point of shoulder. I'll take that and then over here, that's easier. He likes left. Have you noticed that with him? Even under saddle. Oh, there we go. I'm gonna walk away for that. I hope you're all okay with this, but something to think about is he's got a lot of life, right?  There he's looking and chewing a little bit. But what I'm doing is I'm sort of moving my feet fairly fast, but notice how I cut and he crosses his left hind leg under or I cut to the right and he crosses his right hind leg under. Now I didn't tell you to do this. So you didn't know that you weren't able to do that, but notice how I'm always in front of this horse. Like if he, and this is like your question too, if he were to creep up, I'd just go over here. And he crossed his hind legs a little, didn't he? He offset, he offsetted the haunch. So now he starts to go, well, there's no sense. Yeah, see now there, he stopped. When I want to cut an angle, he stopped his feet.   So now I'm further away. So now just momentarily, nose between the shoulders is really important now. Momentarily stop, there, nose between the shoulder and I better walk forward because otherwise I'm not gonna make them stand. My, yeah, it's fuel on the fire right now. Now, there's another thing to think about with halting. When we ask our horses to halt, they need to give you two eyes when you're in front of them, unless you say otherwise. What I mean by that is a lot of horses, when they halt, they think that's their chance to look around. And they'll look right over the top of us sometimes. You ever notice that? So in motion, he focuses. At the halt, he tends to go up left with, and for me, he tends to look up, up into the left there. Now, he was straight that time. And that was a, now if I lose him, if the nose goes past the point of shoulder, you're gonna lose the horse mentally, if you're in front. So the width of his shoulder, he's got wide shoulders, right? His nose can be in this box, this wide, but if he goes beyond, we need to be there. We'd like him to run into the rope and think he did it to himself, that he ran into that rope, ideally. Now, if I ask him to put his nose past his shoulder, that's different.  I'll take that, and then over here, that's easier. He likes left. Have you noticed that with him? Even under saddle. Oh, there we go. I'm gonna walk away for that. That was interesting. Now, because he's sensitive, sensitivity's a gift. Sometimes. Yeah, yeah, exactly. So, nose between the shoulder. So he's used to maybe, yep, and now I want this way. He picks up on things really like, oh, yeah, he's super, there we go. So I'm just gonna see if I can get him to look a little further to his right. A little more. I'm trying to be really, and I can see why you don't look at, now that I work with him, he's training you to not look at his face because he is sensitive, and eye contact can be a little, for some horses, it's reassuring. For some, it's intimidating. You know what, though? It's the whole person, my whole being. So he's gonna learn, it's cool if Jack looks at me in the eye. In fact, Jack lets me stop sometime. Jack asked me to settle when he looks at me in the eye. A little further. I'm waiting here for another big, I think I'm gonna get another big change. Now, right there, he was unclear.  I know right here, I'm kind of putting a little more, there, a little more pressure on him.  Cause if I stayed there any longer, I was gonna, I was gonna overdo. You could see I was getting close, I was getting greedy. Ready? Yeah, I'm gonna make myself more interesting. Now, the other thing is as we move more, we move and halt, watch that life, this is a good horse to see like the life coming up and down.  Would I be like this, or would I be like this? So, that posture, it's really important that we can get that now. I'm gonna do a little more, bringing that life up, and let's just see, I'm more interesting to him now. Now, I didn't get him, I didn't get him amazing, but you'll get him. And, but it did, I did give him more space, didn't I? More room. Do you mind if-


Hi, everyone. Joe for Jaspy's casewrakes.com coming at you with a random number block randomizer that'll knock out gold standard picker team 7. That'll be in a separate video. It's a filler featuring all of these teams right here. Big thanks to this group for making it happen. And there are the numbers right there. Here's the instructions for how that works. I think everyone here understands that. Yeah, they're familiar with it. Let's roll it. Let's randomize it. Six out of five. 11 times for names and numbers. One, two, and 11th and final time. 11 times for the numbers. One, and 11th and final time. We've got two down to one. All right, Carl with two, Rick with three, Patrick with zero. So, Patrick, you'll get any and all redemptions for that group of teams right there, including one-of-one redemptions. Chad B, you'll still get live one-of-ones. Vipple with five, Patrick with nine. Carl, four, six, seven, and eight. Let's order these numerically. And I'll see you in the next video for the break itself, jaspyscasebreaks.com. Bye-bye.


Plinka plinka plinka Okay, all right before we dive into the newsletter. This is an item in the newsletter But I wanted to just read what the editor-in-chief of Tom's hardware said The Adafruit feather RP 2040 is the best RP 2040 board you can get That's a review There's more offering a megabyte storage strong battery support for ADC's in a huge ecosystem of add-on boards Get it if you can find one in stock Yeah, that's the only problem right now. I believe me if I can get these parts Yeah, I will make them. I'm waiting on one or two more shipments. Yeah, if it's funny If you don't have the part You can't substitute another part like if you don't have the USB-C connector, nothing else will fit You gotta have that connector and hopefully soon just to you know another thing we decided not to do back orders because Everyone especially in the electronics community in the chest are talking about this right now There is some part delays part storages Imagine if you take someone's money and then indefinitely you're holding it for maybe these parts, so we do sign up so sign up we never do anything else with the email you only get one email when it's back in stock and then you place an order and That's been working out. So that's what we do. That's right sign up for them And we're gonna make them as fast as we can correct. So that's the that was the hardware portion of it and I think and this is I'm just gonna say this It's yes the hardware you did a good job. Oh, thank you Thank you Additionally, it's not just the hardware. It's it's the it's the circuit Python. It's the community world. It's the code in the community Yeah, this is code plus community, but the hardware is really good and the The thing that people can code with is it fits the hardware. Well, yeah, so Feather open does all these things Ujiko system of hardware circuit Python Hundreds of libraries get you going really fast and You're doing the thing you want to do. Yeah, so Anyways, I should why these cutting boards head circles on them. Like what's what's the goal? What are you doing? There's probably some type of thing either So that is so that's that so the other thing we have our Python on her one newsletter Yes, Piper make yeah a new Chrome browser based Fully browser way of doing block based programming and guess what underneath it's circuit Python You load circuit Python and then it basically turns the repel into a block based like Blockly programming system There's even a library that they published which you've just add to the bundle today So you can even basically take your Piper code and then make it like permanent, you know living on that on that storage device So interesting. I think this is cool. I mean with web serial now being a standard On it's by default on and Chrome you don't have to enable it anymore One of the things I always wanted to do is have a web repel and I'm like they did it like there you go That's circuit Python. Yeah, and the neat thing is if anyone says well Adafrit are you gonna make it like a block based circuit Python? these guys did here you go and I don't have to yeah And so this is really neat and I think that you know if you like Make code with circuit playground express try the Pico if you have one with make that play Piper.com. That's right. Anyways, check it out Yeah, okay our discord server hit 28,000 people right now. We have about 4,704 people online. That's nice. Yeah So we're doing a bundle managing and and library management We're gonna see some work being done with that. We've you know hit 300 libraries so we want to Now write plugins for IDEs to make it easier for you to manage your libraries Thankfully, we all thought about this years ago We said like like believe me we had a lot of discussions about the libraries If you look at how our libraries are done and distributed It was designed to be automated and turned into a fully Fully automated way of publishing libraries and getting them into IDEs and managing all the dependencies We learned a lot from how Arduino did it and we just want to skip to what Arduino is doing now And not have all the pieces in between so you know, I know folks are you know You can always drag and drop the files of your libraries on to the circuit pie drive But it would be cool if maybe Fani or Mu or VS code did that automatically So that's that's one of the things that we're starting to work on now So keep your eyes peeled and if you want to contribute if you want to help write a plug-in for your favorite IDE Post up in the discord or join us on github post up an issue And we'd love to have you because there's a lot of IDs and we're gonna do some big ones But we might not do all of them. Yep By the time the next newsletter comes out their new update of Mu. I think we either got in there It'll be in the next one. It's a public beta. Yeah, we mean we're stuffed in there But we have some improvements. Hopefully we'll get in before the last beta. Yep. Deep dive. It's got this Friday 2 p.m. Check it out lady to stuff spy some time flash memory. Talks about circuit vison Here is more of the way on display. Yeah, they're we're seeing more round displays and one of the things that folks do with Python and also all forms of coding on the pico is Display things Yeah, so we're on displays and it's cool because you can see the capabilities of circuit Python, which is managing your All these are objects, you know what I mean? So you don't have to redraw a second You don't have to deal about with dirty rectangle tracking. It's all done for you You've got some kibos there. Those are running. These are from. Yeah, lots of keyboard stuff. They run circuit Python This is a cool demo. Somebody is showing. Hey, look all these circuit Python divide all these devices In displays have circuit Python libraries already isn't that wonderful Game, do we know I love what they're doing. They are using the Eve chipset to add like true HGM I mean like the circuit that the pico is doing this cool hack, but this is true HDMI output with full graphic support in circuit Python so you can like load sprites and play videos and like Resize and perform. It's like a GPU basically for microcontrollers They have a shield and I think a feather wing and we're gonna hopefully sock it soon Yeah, Bill he was on the show and tell and showed the RP 2040 head mouse Yeah, so the standalone video can also check out last week's show and tell Connecting hardware the hard words making synthesizers. Yeah, there's a lot of MIDI stuff going on because we have that for circuit Python So people are using the Pimeroni keyboard to then control Many stuff. Yeah, this is a W. This is a Jebler's WWBB clock TG techies working on doing gooey stuff with circuit Python display. There's a lot of gooey. That's all you need to watch to do on off So like what do you what do you need more? Who needs to know the time? Yeah, you just need to know. Are you on or you off? All right, and so Python projects Yeah Blinkers So you can check out all this stuff more and more we also have a roundup Yeah, we also have a roundup of some of the things we released And also the upcoming events up to I think three hundred and five libraries me check three hundred and Five yeah, three hundred and five good libraries. Yes And check out the events that are coming up. There is open hardware summit. Hi, Ohio is coming on GeoPython Picon your Python. Hi, Ohio. Some of these are virtual some of these are gonna be in person stay tuned to the newsletter for all the things in Python and That is this week's Python on hardware. Okay, Lady Eda

And so you know, I think this is going to be This is going to be the biggest test for the eagles thus far this year I have to come in here. You know, you're facing the chiefs off of a buy andy reed's whole team the chiefs have been reeling All the narratives there What belongs uh at under a three-point favorite, which is something that I usually will smash and so You know from the total standpoint I I have no idea um because I That's what the interesting one is because both of these offenses are explosive And the defenses have been so great that I just don't have a read there Once so ever I could see it going either way But what I do have a read on is is the chiefs and I do think you know as as great Filly has been Here and and they look, you know I'll sound favorite, but we kind of talked about this last week We're kind of just talking about matchups and talking about how tough philly schedule was going to be coming up Like this is one of those first matchups and I think they could uh They could get a reality test here going into arrowhead, which is one of the toughest place to play So I'm going to take the chiefs at the two and a half there And you know see if it comes down to at harrison buck your field goal there late if these two teams are matched up evenly But I honestly jim you can say you can see this game go either way from a points from a point scoring standpoint Yeah, the chiefs minus two and a half is minus one fifteen right now if andal sports books It seems more likely to get to three than to go the other way get back to three Again, I think it was there very for a very short time My model has this is being pretty fair with where it's at right now I've got the cheese favored by 3.4 points So pretty close to where the market has it but leaning towards the same direction as you where if I were forced to pick I would go cheese So personally it's a stay away because I just want to enjoy the game honestly as far as the total goes I think part of the reason why that number is low is is not just the cheese defense playing as well as it has But also some rain in the forecast for tonight I don't care too much about that personally, but there is a bit of wind at nine miles per hour So once you factor in the weather, I've got this total at uh, 46.4. So Even accounting for weather. I'm a hair above the total So slight lean towards the chiefs minus two and a half slight lean towards the over at 45 and a half but honestly I think both are Pretty comfortable stayaways for me just so I could enjoy this game a bit more and instead Dabble in the props markets. Let's talk about that, Ryan And I think the chief side of things here has been tough this entire year because they spread the ball around Nobody's really separated Outside of travis kelsie being travis kelsie taylor swift is in the stands for tonight So bump up kelsie from that perspective, but looking at the chief's props for tonight, ryan any value stand out for you with them Yeah, it's it's it's all about travis kelsie. Uh tonight, right? I mean you got the lady Lady in the stands, you got a home matchup coming back Uh, the the parents are meeting each other. Uh, this just you know, kind of screams, you know, the the kelsie narrative and You know, he had a pretty decent game, uh against this team when they matched up In the super bowl there getting getting those six targets 81 yards and touchdown You know, even the touchdown prop for for kelsie is it's kind of you know It's just one of those things that you look at and you're like, yep, that's reasonable and We're gonna take the 125 there and just let it be what it is But I do think there's merit to getting his receiving prop I think honestly jim like the one that I would look at for from a kelsie standpoint I know we're gonna talk about the other options for the chiefs is the alt receiving line I mean anything over what that number is from 76 and a half like we know There's no question of where the ball is going to go to Uh tonight and you're looking at the eagles team that is a tough team to run on And you know, pacheco has been getting more opportunities, but you know, this is also an andy reed Scripted team where he's going to take advantage of matchup. So we're looking at kelsie, you know 80 yards is minus 102 90 yards plus 144 100 yards like almost two to one like yeah Give me that like i'm probably gonna be on a ton of kelsie alternate lines of you know 100 yards Like does kelsie get multiple scores and we could take advantage of that Not to say, you know, I know I know the the parlays are always fun and I'll probably be taking them But I think taking those two as one off bets or even combining them Makes a ton of sense because This has just been the catalyst of the offense when Kelsey goes when Kelsey does well the rest of the offense does well because my homes can play a little bit More free and be a little bit more loose. So love the kelsie props I'll probably lean into some of the pacheco props from a rushing receiving standpoint When you're looking at, you know, the matchup, I know he's 45 48 and a half. Excuse me from a rushing prop But when you're adding in that receiving to at 68 and a half like I think he could get loose On a couple there. I think they do want to get them involved and we saw him, you know Really, you know, take advantage of this matchup again when they met in the super bowl, which is, you know, really Really appealing and I could see, you know, andy reed coming at it from the approach of Just give pacheco touches so that we don't have jail and hurts on the field because, you know We'll talk about that side of things and how explosive they can be But uh, yeah, I think this is probably the two paths Those are the two best pieces on the chiefs and those are the two pieces I want to lean into You know, it's it's fun to take some dart throws on some of these other guys But they just haven't been consistent enough for me to do so Yeah, and I think that that is a logical way to approach things coming back to Kelsey You mentioned how the eagles are great against the rush and that is that is reflected in the stats Where teams have thrown against them on early downs at a 68 clip this year Which is by far the highest rating football So it's in part because the eagles are a good team and they get teams down and that may not be the case here tonight but like They've got a good rush defense now jail and carter there So teams have been inclined to throw a ball against them So you're talking about the kelsey ultimate numbers If they're going to throw more than usual and they are already a pretty high Pass rate team And we know where the ball is going. I think that's a good formula to getting to some alternate numbers for travis kelsey so I think of the ones if I were looking to bet some overs tonight It would lean towards travis kelsey. You mentioned the 100 plus receiving yards alt market plus 198 for kelsey I find that pretty attractive. I probably like that a bit more than the touchdown odds personally a minus 125 Um, you mentioned potentially scoring twice. So, you know, you can check out that too I don't think that's out of bounds for a game like this So I think kelsey's the rod I'd be leading but pacheco's rushing plus receiving number is very reasonable 68 and a half rushing plus receiving yards I think that makes a lot of sense personally. I want to check out where he's been recently now The last game before their buy week was the germany game and clibert's e-layer did not play in that game. So Make sure you take that into account when looking at pacheco's stuff but 66 yards there 37 the game before that so The yardage hasn't really been there despite the fact the snap rate has But maybe they like you said kind of lean more on him given this is a pretty high impact game So I could see pacheco potentially be intriguing But like I think ryan it really does come down to kelsey where We're in alignment there where he's kind of like the main guy we turned to for tonight Absolutely absolutely and those two touchdowns for kelsey the score is five to one And you know, you know, they already They're they're already appealing to the masses there but that's getting some of these numbers Because those are the those are the places where we want to be but yeah, I think it's it's really, you know, leaning into For me tonight, it's leaning into the options and the paths that I know are The the right paths or that that on paper are seeming like the right paths and not getting Outside of the box and I think we can do the exact same thing We're talking about the eagles problems because there's no dallas goddard for tonight Which does open up a good number of targets in this passing offense. So on the eagle side of things Where are you seeing a value there ryan? Yeah, so on the eagle side of things where I'll start in the reverse or not in the reverse I'll start with the pass cutters as well too, but we usually do talk about the running backs first But yeah, I think you know, we got a look we got a look at the pass catcher We got a look at a j brown a j brown's been an absolute stud I forget what week it was this week with early on three or four You know the guy's talking about getting the ball more and we're feeding into the narrative He's you know jaylin hurts his baby's goddad or whatever the case may be and so since then he's been absolutely incredible He's been absolutely a stud like 84 and a half on that number feels absolutely right He has just been he's just been so good And you're talking about dallas goddard, you know vacating targets and production there and it's like Yeah, let me get on that now. The one that's interesting to me is devonta smith Like devonta smith is just so good and I know he's having a down year But like 60 and a half in this match up here and I get listen. It's tough, right? It's a tough match up for uh for the Eagles passing game this chief's defense like they are not the same defense that the eagles faced in the super bowl This dboa that third dboa from a passing match up like they've been absolutely incredible against outside receivers But I still expect the eagles to be aggressive in the trying to get things going and we know devonta smith has that deep threat You know playmaking ability Outside of that we're talking about alameda zakias and julio jones So like I really do expect the focus to be on both of these two guys and just from a production standpoint like And i'm just trying to move the ball. I think that uh, I think devonta smith's number is really really nice And I would love to get that at 60 and a half Wherever I can now from a reception standpoint like yeah, I might probably you know Even if I'm not taking the 84 and a half from aj brown I might look at you know his reception line And see what you know what we're going after there for him to hit on that number um Because it just it just feels like you know a great match up there at six and a half like minus 102 He he could he could get that at half right like he it's just the way that this is going So I absolutely love it now when we're talking about de andre swift like This is the one I got to lean into you know, and this is what's going to be a little bit scary for me because You know, it's de andre swift and I've had a tough time with him You know since he was at the lions and really just have loved talent But I've never gotten them right, but this is one where I could really see them leaning on Okay, so you know even from a past matchup standpoint, but like if this is a neutral game script Let's get de andre swift involved and let's really have him You know drive this home for us and especially like if they can get out to an early lead on the road There's no No, you know if you're if you're taking the eagle side and you're thinking that they're going to come out here And punch the chiefs in the mouth early then like yeah We're leaning into de andre swift in the same manner I talked about pecheco like keep my homes off of the field and uh, this is you know This is not myo sanders and jaylon hurts was able to get some yards against this team You know let last year and I think that production kind of speaks to what we can expect from de andre swift So, you know the receiving line I do think is interesting from the standpoint of taking the chiefs two and a half because We could get some some dump offs there for him And if he's not able to find the receivers deep just give it to de andre swift there at 17 half But I do really like Getting on his rushing prop getting on the receiving a rushing prop And really thinking that the eagles can lean into de andre swift tonight To help bring it home for them and swiss roll has been really good recently over the past So I think the most relevant sample for him has since gainwell came back and in that time He's had multiple targets in every single game. He had six in one game. He attended another So getting him a lot of work in the passing game. That's led to good yardage numbers I don't really want to check out swift touchdown numbers because he doesn't get a lot of work inside the red zone He had it's been better the past couple of games a lot better actually, but Still not a perfect roll there, but from a passing game perspective He does make a lot of sense so options for taking advantage of that rushing plus receiving 77 half the number on that one minus 114 on the over the reception prop or receiving prop that ryan mentioned Over 17 half is minus 114 and then total receptions for swift over two and a half is minus 160 alternate receptions For de andre swift not posted but check back on that one later because potentially could get that As a route to get exposure to swift I want to go back to divante smith though ryan because I think he's the biggest benefactor of The dallas goddard injury last year and the games goddard missed. I believe smith's target share is around 25 So he got a really big boost when goddard was out last year and they've had to buy and smith is I think been banged up Pretty much this entire year playing with like this like cyborg kind of thing on his elbow Which doesn't look you know aesthetically super pleasing Probably doesn't mean he's super healthy either So 16 half is receiving yard number for for divante smith I find that very interesting given that we do lean toward the chiefs in this game And the eagles are two and a half point dogs might not be able to be as run heavy as usual Also, do want to check the touchdown score market for divante smith. Yeah, swift is plus 155 I think that's a bit light. I'd like that. Right. I would probably want that a bit longer to go in there But divante smith plus 230 for a touchdown. I like that quite a bit as well I think I might like that more than the yardage number. So I'm probably going to try to exploit the goddard adson I think that divante smith anytime touchdown plus 230 Might be the route I would go for that one personally I love that. I actually love that a lot and I yeah for me I think it's just a matter of um The the types of targets that divante smith sees really likes me You know makes that makes that number very palatable at at 60 and a half and it does just become a numbers game or I guess What what would I say there a usage game? If you will when the eagles get into the red zone because I really just think that you know We we got to worry about jalen hurts taking the ball and them giving it to swift and a j brown being there And so and I do think that this defense for the chiefs Does kind of play the past pretty well when they get into the red zone. So I do think that's interesting Well, we're in the anytime touchdown prop market Let's let's go down to the guy who backs up the andre swift there and kind of game Well, and this guy gets a couple red zone opportunities every week and so getting him at plus 600 there Like that's kind of my favorite long shot bet of the night because this is the one where like Everybody has, you know jalen hurts and they have the andre swift, you know tickets and their fantasy line-ups, etc And you're just wondering wait. Who's that coming in? To score. Oh, yeah, that's kenneth gainwell who just you know finds his way to get get work every every so often This speaks to that being an island game. So let's go kineji Get that six to one going for us and we can feel good about that Yeah, if I'm going to be turned off by swift in his touchdown numbers because of kenneth gainwell I should probably consider kenneth gainwell himself Uh at six to one for anytime touchdown for him other guy who like does con interest me here is noa gray Noa gray never leaves a field. He is plus 750 for the the anytime touchdown market at fangirl sportsbook three targets in Most games so far this year as the artist members have actually been pretty good as well But like again, he just he plays Almost not not every snap, but he's out there pretty consistently only one touchdown So far this year, but it's access to the cheese It is a guy with a pretty big body can get in towards the goal line 88 snap rate in that game. I guess I was week one where kelsey is out But uh, he's still in a good snap rate even when kelsey has been healthy So far this year. So gray at plus 750 if i'm looking for like a longer shot fun one I think that's kind of enticing personally. So I might check that one out I think the gainwell one is better, right? I like that one a bit more at six to one Any other props you like across monday night ryan? I think those are I think those are the main ones for for me that I like I mean, you know, just really kind of funny when you look at the past catchers for the chiefs and their anytime touchdown props all being in the in the same range there I think I think that's good. I I will probably dabble And look at and look at a lot of the alt lines. I think they can be fun You know of just like jaylin hurts like him scoring one touchdown is, you know, not that palatable at Just 120, but if you look at, you know, his two touchdown prop, you know, that hops all the way up there Uh, if you if you scroll down real quickly jim, okay, this is how we always do it You ask me if I like anything. I'm like, oh, I'm not really into it. I'm like, oh, well wait Um plus 750 like just to go from one to two Super interesting there um for me as we you know We saw he was not allergic to uh not allergic to the end zone when they played in that Super Bowl matchup So if he ends up having to do everything, I just think the odds there are just like, you know I would expect that to be closer to five to one than seven and a half. So, um, that's an interesting one, you know, cheap Kansas City prop on the other side, you know If we're thinking Patrick Mahomes if he you know wants to work his magic in there I was looking at the three touchdown Alt mark for him passing again that passing not Not rushing. I don't even think it probably would be available from a home But if you look at the alt passing touchdowns there, uh for him to throw three touchdowns That's two to one You know if Kelsey gets multiple scores there and they just need to find one It's like you don't have to guess who the guys are catching them You just take the two to one on my homes to throw them in that those feel good Yeah, he is uh minus 200 to throw two plus plus 200 to throw a three plus So big jump there from a home So you get to three plus touchdowns and again if the eagles are going to be as good as they are against the rush this year That could shovel some more work towards the passing game from my homes as well That is all that we have here for today on the covering the spread But ryan will be back with us once again tomorrow We're going to talk about the futures market breakdown key takeaways in this week And then I'll take a look ahead to week 12 spreads and totals that my numbers like over at fan dual sportsbook, but ryan Pleasure to have you on the show here today as always Good luck to you tonight.

That's a good thing How much weight have you gained since 2015 2015? Yeah You guys have a general idea of my Weight High school basketball Probably a very similar height to that I am now 5'8", 5'9"? I'd say I was pretty healthy I was obviously 14, 15 Pretty healthy $1.70 Sophomore year of high school My off season got a little lazier We're talking You know my age is 15, 16 2005 I was probably 2'8", 2'90 Still good, still hanging on the rim Still fast, just got a little lazy That off season had a good talk with my coach Played four years varsity basketball So I had the same coach every year Built a really good relationship He told me a lot about everything From coaching to basketball to life I'm going to load this stupid thing Go ahead and walk with me And so I probably I put in the most work ever That off season We're talking We're talking gym for an hour Food Back to the gym for a basketball for an hour Then I finish it with like 15 to half an hour Either treadmill sprints Or stair mill every single day And then about twice a week I had a strength coach at the time We go to Sacramento State track And we do running drills and stairs Whatever So then 16, 17 junior year high school Probably my fastest Probably the most athletic build I've ever been That's probably about a buck 75 Some of those pictures if you go to my Instagram Flash back on my crossing a guy Shoulders are popping and 3D delts That's when I was 175 I'll send it to Connor Flash you right here Senior year high school Probably back up to about a buck 80 Junior college Best friend passed away Couple months after I graduated high school So going into junior college basketball I can make as many excuses as I want Fact is I got fat Wasn't the best time of my life You know It was a little rough Choosing schools, choosing sports Going into the new world And then my best friend passed away So I got up to probably 205 And it wasn't a good 205 Ended up quitting school Quitting basketball Got up to a really Probably the ugliest 225 I've ever been in my life I was lifting weights but hardly I wasn't playing basketball Just going to school Doing nothing That's when the fitness journey began That's when powerlifting was found Started doing all the research Point is I got back down to about a buck 90 I got 190 for a couple of years As I was training people And as I first joined Super Training Gym 2012 or 11 Throughout Super Training I kind of went up and down 2015 or 16 I walked around at a good 195, that was the leanest I've been recently Got up to 230 Chased some goals down I benched 405 weighing About 225 Pulled that 705 weighing About 220, 224 And that was about a year ago So 2016 And then now I'm probably 210 every morning 200, keeping as much muscle mass as I can While still Still getting to the leanest shape I've ever been I think I'm holding the most muscle I've ever had Besides the back injury, I think I'm the strongest I've ever had Or ever been So I get down to 200 I think then you can call me thick Thick nasty boy So I've received this question not that many times But I'd say two times and it's all been very recently And then with even more recent You've made a post about it Talk to us about the Bulldog grip on the bench I don't know much about it Right, right, right There's a guy in here IG handle the Barbell resistance Yeah, he asked me about steroids, I think he was trolling And He talks a lot about it He does it, and then he has a lot of his clients do it And he's had some of the other guys do it in here It was popularized by Mike Toucheher Oh, okay, okay And it's kind of like this No, that's not it, it's more of like a fingertip thing So you place the Barbell In your hand Deep in the palm of your hand And then rather than grabbing the Barbell With the full grip You just kind of put your fingers on it And you press like that And it's supposed to keep your wrists straighter And then the pressure is on the heel of your palm More than if you were to just grab The whole Barbell So somewhere between a suicide grip and a real grip Yes, it prevents you And I've done it a few times now When you push your fingers into the Bar You can't get it rolling back in your hand Makes sense I've done a video on gripping And I suggested people set up with the full grip And I placed the Bar in my hand Like I'm about to false grip And then I wrap And then the same idea is As much as you can get that Bar sitting right here Then your wrist is less likely to get cocked back If the Bar is in here, which is often for many people From here up, then you're going to get cocked back And things feel weird A couple times I have used it I feel like when I'm pushing I am pushing with this bone It feels good I do that well with the Dumbbell Because I care less But if you get it sitting on these bones It feels strong The only thing is with I've never used really heavy weight with it So it just seems kind of sketch But it does feel good I don't know if Mike Scherer has any videos on it Videos or articles He doesn't People see my sumo deadlift And call it a hybrid lift Or a semi-sumo That's people seeing something Not knowing what it is and making up a name And so I thought maybe Bulldogs like that Maybe Toshir just benches that way And then people named it Or maybe for all we know Toshir has numbness in his fingers You know what I mean?


You know, just made some bad pitches early on, especially to Korea to start the 0-2. It's a guy you got to put away. You get that first out, that it needs a whole lot of difference.  I don't know about that right away, but it's the add to the frustration that the guys that got you are the eighth and the ninth, either the walk and then the double. Yeah, I think so. I think, like I said, you get the first guy out and you have more wiggle room right there. If a guy gets on, get a double play and things like that. You know, got to execute better 0-2. And then right there, really the white, you know, walking him. It's not like I was trying to pitch around him and put the time right on. So got to execute to him, too. So it just came down to really executing and then Trino's right there. I want to pitch away from getting out of that inning and just give him a pitch that he could hit. I've had some history against him, too, so I know what he's trying to do. He's trying to shoot that ball right center just like he did. So I got to make a better pitch. Walk that bothers you the most at any... I don't think that stands out as the most frustrating thing. I think it was the 0-2 hit to create a start at the inning. Like I said, I've closed enough games in that first out. And when you have the lead is probably the most important. So to give them some energy in that dugout right there with an 0-2 hit, it makes it a lot tougher.


London sends thousands of tank shells, including depleted uranium wands to Kiev. Britain has sent to Ukraine thousands of shells for Challenger 2 tanks, including those with depleted uranium, but it does not monitor their use and has no obligation to eliminate the consequences of their use once the conflict is over. Secretary of State of Defense James Hepey said in his written responses to questions from Scottish MP Kenny McCaskill of the Alba Party. We have sent thousands of rounds of Challenger 2 ammunition to Ukraine, including depleted uranium armor-piercing rounds. For operational security reasons, we will not comment on Ukrainian usage rates for the rounds provided. Hepey said asked where exactly these shells would be used. He replied that British supplied Challenger 2 tanks and depleted uranium ammunition granted to Ukraine are now under the control of the armed forces of Ukraine. The Ministry of Defense does not monitor the locations from where depleted uranium rounds are fired by the Ukrainian Army in Ukraine. In response to another question, Hepey said there was no obligation on the UK to help clear up depleted uranium rounds fired from Challenger 2 tanks by the armed forces of Ukraine. At the same time he mentioned London's commitment to helping Ukraine emerge from this war secure, prosperous and free. Russia has responded to Hepey's statement. The Russian Embassy in London stated that the UK will not be able to avoid responsibility for the consequences of the use of depleted uranium ammunition that has been supplied to the Ukrainian armed forces. On March the 21st, Russian President Vladimir Putin said that the plans for supplying depleted uranium munitions demonstrated the West's intention to fight Russia to the last Ukrainian. He noted that Russia would have to respond. It had hundreds of thousands of such munitions but had not used any of them yet.


Where does money come from? Where does money come from? You probably see your parents use money a lot. They use money to buy things and your parents probably go to work to get it. We have two types of money in Australia, coins and notes. Coins are made at the Royal Australian Mint and notes are printed by the Reserve Bank of Australia. These notes are made of very thin plastic and they have numbers like 5, 10, 20, 50 and 100 on them. The bigger the number on the note, the more stuff that you and your parents can buy with it. The people at the Reserve Bank of Australia can print pretty much as many of these notes as they want, but they know that if they print too many, something called inflation could happen. I'll tell you what that means. When there are too many notes, people start to spend more and more. Because there's so much money going around, people in shops start charging more for things like food and clothes and toys. Everything starts to get more expensive. That's inflation. Most people keep their money in a bank, which keeps it safe. People can get money out of the bank's ATM using their bank card. You can also use the bank card to pay for things, just like money, but cards are a lot easier to carry around than a lot of money. So these plastic cards are basically the same as plastic money.

alright all you beautiful people how are we what is going on welcome back to another video guys as you can see by the title I'm feeling pretty fucking pumped right now for various reasons I find myself in Melbourne right now again one of those reasons was to finally come full circle with this whole journey I've been on on YouTube which is playing American football reacting to it loving it and wanting to play okay I need you know even if I played one game and then left to go back up to Alice Springs I need to to bring this journey full circle I need to play and now it's not as a kicker and now it's not as a receiver which I made a stupid mistake last time I came down I was too scared to say I want to be running back I was literally too anxious too scared too nervous to tell them that I wanted to be a running back so I put my hand up for receiver went through a few receiver routes actually got my finger jam twice and you know the rest is history I didn't play I didn't get to play that weekend I was only down for two weeks at the time so anyways we were here literally like nearly a year later we're back down here it's preseason I just went down it's Sunday today I went down we did a three hour training first thing I did when I got there was I said I want to be running back but you know what man even this time even with me telling myself the whole way to the ground tell them you want to be a running back I could take take nothing less tell them you want to be running back go with it you know if your shit whatever man you're gonna improve okay with even with all of that prep talk that I gave myself I got there and he asked me okay what position you want to play first first instance I was like oh no I don't want to say running back because I don't want to stuff up but I said I said running back and then I was like oh no only no you know only if you don't have too many I mean obviously there's gonna be heaps of running backs that's what I said I said running back but obviously there's gonna be heaps how do I know there's gonna be heaps man and how do I know I'm not gonna be better than some of them you know you've got to have confidence in yourself and that's something I am realizing man it's something I especially going into a new sport not knowing anybody wanting to actually do well I mean I don't want to be a laughing stock so you know you've got to have confidence confidence in yourself and and I've got to say that after today I do have a lot more confidence in myself and I will be playing running back I ain't going to receive it no fucking way I'm going running back and that's it so today we had a great training there's a guy there's a guy down there called whitey I said what's your name he goes people call me whitey and I was like sweet whitey from what I'm lead to believe is a top running back in Australia he's played for Australia he took about six of us through six of us running backs through some drills we did some warm-up drills we did some some some handoffs you know running having two lines three down there three down here just running off running towards each other and giving a little handoff getting used to you know getting used to having the leading elbow up as far as possible you know further further up is probably the better because the last thing you want is that is that ball of the quarterback's hand to hit your elbow so yeah practicing that taking the handoff and then running up to the other guy and giving a little pop into his red basket as they say so that was the first thing then we did one called the gauntlet where we ran through holding the ball nice and tight and the other guys on the side are trying to either hit the ball out or try and rip it out after that we we lined up we did some inside drives we did some counters we did some passes we did some blocking we set up with a single back and we also set up with two running backs and to be honest man it was just great it was just great being in that position getting down right getting down okay behind the quarterback knowing that you're gonna get the handoff you know what I mean and we didn't have any offensive linemen we didn't have any defensive players it was just us just us running backs just practicing some handoffs running into the gaps I really quite like the the passing routes I quite like that we did a couple we did an out route okay so the running back runs through he's gonna cut out he's gonna turn backwards look for that ball then we've got like a swing route where basically that first step that you take after the snap is either gonna be a big left foot step and you want to actually go backwards so then you can go around so then when the quarterback comes out this way he's gonna give you a nice like flat pass fuck what do we do like a Texas like like a flag like slot receiver route the kind of thing all sorts man all sorts it's just it's it's it's it's he asked me do you have any questions I said nah man I'm just taking it all in and that's exactly what I was doing man it's so good you know this training was a hell of a lot better you know I got I got so much more out of this training than I did out of the last one because of the fact that I wasn't gonna take no for an answer I was gonna train his running back and that's what I see to myself I was like man I don't even care if I play in this team I just want to train as a running back I want to be around the other running backs I want to be able to show what I can do and you know a good thing is that I'm the biggest running back as far as size height weight probably except for this guy whitey so why he's probably an inch taller than me he's about six one six two he he'd weigh at least 225 pounds I'd say he's pretty thick he's a thick guy he's got loads of highlights on YouTube's you know what I'm gonna I'm gonna have a look at some of those playing for my national so playing for Australia and you know it was it was it was just fantastic mate you know this just being around the players and learning after all of our specific running back stuff we all went over and came together as a team there was you know less numbers than what they'd usually expect so there was three rotations of receivers and running backs two of us went with one two with the other and two with the other if they called a single back then one went on if they called a two running back play then a receiver would come off and the second running back would go on so I had only one snap in that particular thing because I was just I was just watching to be honest I just wanted to watch where the running backs were setting up I wanted to see their blocking techniques I just wanted to watch I'm quite happy doing that it's my first day but I did get one route and it was a flat route and so I was lining up as the half back to the left of my quarterback the fullback was behind the quarterback and when the snap went I went about three or four yards on a 45 degree angle up to the line of scrimmage or the effective line of scrimmage and then I turned with a big right foot step out to the left on a flat route and then I turned around and lo and behold the ball's coming and I caught it and I turned around and then I ran into someone it was a pretty shit catch I got off whitey said to me goes you rushed that didn't you I said yeah maybe I did you know great guys whitey mate if you ever see this video I want to say thank you thank you for bringing me into the team thank you for making me feel welcome from the start man welcome completely welcome completely comfortable and he gave me some some some awesome tips he gave me some encouragement you know a little bit of encouragement after you make a capture after you make a run or something after you make a turn anything a little bit of encouragement is goes a long way you know what I mean especially for me so I don't want to talk too much more it was three hours long the next one's on Wednesday and then sat and then Sunday again then Wednesday then Sunday then Wednesday and then the first game is on so the awesome thing is that the Warriors have two teams they suit up with two teams two complete teams every week and that means that regardless of what happens you know I'm gonna be able to get some snaps as a running back which which means that I'll most probably plan the second team but we'll see what happens man this there's two more weeks of preseason training yeah I'm just happy man I'm happy to be here I'm happy to have done that I'm happy to come out injury-free one other thing man you know I'm definitely going running back I'm not going to receive it now because I don't want to get my fingers jammed okay and it's inevitable and if I was to get my finger jam tonight or yesterday today then I wouldn't be able to play I wouldn't be able to train properly I wouldn't be able to do anything so I got through without any fingers being jammed without any thumbs being jammed it was a fantastic took me about two months to recover from other one got my hand on the ball and look I got to say I got to just make a quick reference back before I do go to a previous video that I shot probably the last one you saw before this one which was just down at the field doing my last little bit of training getting the ball in my hand running around some cones running through the agility ladder just getting that ball in my hand is getting used to it running a few wire outs I went down by myself I got what I needed out of it which was a little bit more confidence a slight bit more confidence and I took that into my session today and it went well so I'm not gonna say I'm gonna say anything guys I'm just gonna leave it there my dream my goal is to get some highlight footage to put on YouTube of Jacob McDonald playing running back you know in a proper game okay and if we can do that just once I'll be happy and if we do it more than once well I'll be even more happy so guys I want to say thank you man thank you for coming on for the ride we're here in Melbourne and well I'll be heading back to Alice at some point I just don't know exactly when so with all that being said guys I want to wish you a fantastic day wherever you are on the world I'm pretty amped right now I'm pretty up you know in a couple hours it would have calmed back down again and we ought to go go through my afternoon nicely with some editing I'm gonna start editing this top 100 series guys it's gonna be a good one top 100 players of 2019 be there or be square
