So now that you have an agent that you built based on estimating the value function, see how good it is at playing if you want, but this is entirely optional.


what's the word y'all welcome back to NBA every day if you missed yesterday's episode what you probably did it was about the Sacramento Kings and it was a 10 out of 10 which means that nobody watched it I kind of knew what I was getting myself into making an entire video about the Sacramento Kings but I'm doing the exact same thing for all 30 NBA teams and this is day number two and we're talking about the Warriors I just felt like if I'm going to talk about a team that have a little bit of relevancy I should back it up by talking about a team with a lot of a lot of relevancy because they have like Steph Curry, Steph Claytops is coming back from an injury, Ah Draftpix, Jonathan Kominga all of those things leave a like subscribe use the hashtag NBA every day on Twitter and stuff if you have questions you want me to answer let's just be engaged or in the comment section that works too all right before we even talk about the Warriors can we address this Jonathan Kominga thing because it has got out of hand if you have no idea what I'm talking about every year we do a live stream of the NBA draft the NBA lottery and Jonathan Kominga was drafted and I made a joke it was half joke half like low key kind of serious and it went too far I'm not even gonna repeat what it was because I wanted to die I know it won't die because it's Twitter and nothing nothing dies on Twitter but I don't want credit for coming up with that nickname because it was unintentional is I didn't want to do that I didn't think it would go as far as it did all right so Jonathan if you're watching this video to me for your the entirety of your career I will call you Jonathan Kominga and nothing else unless you get like a real nickname you will always be Jonathan Kominga to me not what I said a couple weeks ago okay okay now to the actual Warriors because last season was definitely up and down New York starting off I hope y'all remember Steph Curry had a couple I would say dud Steph Curry type games and I'm again in the season and people were all over the place and I told y'all if he ain't got KD if he ain't got Clay Thompson Steph Curry is just a shooter he shut all of that up like like that um it's kind of crazy what people would say and I really use their eyes and use like a resume I don't really know but he shut all that up and the warrior season itself was also a lot of ups and downs the one of the few bright spots is the fact that that Dreymond Green's showcase oh that year last year was not what Dreymond Green really is and he still shows that he can be one of the best defensive players in the league I think he officially ended a third in defensive player of the year and he still has an amazing impact on the offensive side of the ball even if he's finished in the game with two points and one for seven from the field he can still be a positive offensive player while being an elite level defender you even have players like Andrew Wiggins kind of changed the narrative around him at least a little bit Wiggins has always been a guy empty stats does he really love the game can he perform at a high level yada yada and a lot of that went away because he had a lot of solid moments um with the Warriors now again I would still say he's an overpaid NBA player but he still is a quality NBA player then you had the emergence of Juan Toscano Anderson and though he doesn't impact the game crazy on the box score numbers he showcased that he belongs in the NBA and those were like the bright things you had the season of Kelly Ubrey do you remember the first couple months of Kelly Ubrey's season with the Warriors he could not hit anything and I remember him ended up on the words I was like that's that is an amazing pickup whether he's starting or coming off the bench Kelly Ubrey is going to be that guy for them and he didn't and hopefully that changes when he gets to Charlotte but not even just that one of the biggest downsides to this season for them was James Wise if you remember last offseason there was a lot of questions revolving around the Warriors and what they would do with that pick and what they decided was they wanted to get their cake and eat it too now what I mean by that is they had one of the most I don't know valuable picks in recent history because I know I don't know if y'all remember when we got to that drive class everybody says top three Jeff top three Jeff it's Anthony Lamello ball and James Wiseman so they had this valuable valuable pick you had the Wiggins contract and though Clay Thompson suffered a setback a lot of people expected them to use that pick to go out and get another star I saw a lot of photo shops of Bradley Beale and the Warriors Jersey but they ultimately decided to use that pick because they wanted to put together a competent team to win a championship right now while also building a team for the future and what do we find out it ain't that easy y'all it ain't that easy now nobody expected the Warriors to be a championship team especially again with Clay Thompson being out but what we found out is that James Wiseman and trying to develop him in one of the most um one of the most advanced offenses and of all time trying to trying to get him to learn those type of things on the fly will also try to be a playoff team was detrimental to the team so detrimental that once James Wiseman went out with his injury the Warriors start to turn up they don't need to teach this kid where to be on the offensive side of the ball or what to do on defense they turned up after that and I don't want anybody to misunderstand me I'm not saying that James Wiseman can't be any league-level player or he won't be great with the Warriors in the near future I'm just saying for this upcoming season they struggled with showing him the ropes and getting him to be an impactful player and now we come around to this offseason where similar things are happening no they don't have one of the top three picks in this year's draft but they have two lottery picks they have a superstar player and Steph Curry who's 33 years old and just showcased oh I can still be an MVP caliber player we just mentioned that Draymond Grinkin still be amazing and he just went to um Tokyo and won a gold so we know he still plays in high level and Clay Thompson is coming back the big three the one-on-one championship before Katie got there will all be back and I'm not saying they're all going to be to the fullest extent because once by the time Draymond Grinkin did jump shot and Clay Thompson they don't even think he's going to be ready for the season opener and when he does come back as much as I want to say Clay Thompson is going to be at his hundred percent he's going to be an all-star caliber player immediately I don't think that's the case when you think about him suffering two major knee slash leg injuries in the span of a year so they have these two lottery picks and similar things happen everybody photoshopping oh snap um Ben Simmons Ben Simmons is on the trade block how will Ben Simmons and Draymond Grinkin work together can they make it work we'll find out maybe we should do that trade oh Bradley Beal may not be happy with the situation we got lottery picks we got Wiggins is contract we got James Wiseman who we low key not in love with anymore but we can try to convince some other teams to take we're probably gonna make a trade right we're probably gonna try to get another star to come in to help this aging Warriors team level up to another championship before it is too late and what did they decide to do they decided to draft down at the comminga and Moses Moody and I don't again I don't want you to misinterpret saying that I think that these two players are not going to be in pack four good place for the future but this goes back to what I'm saying they're trying to have their cake and eat it too they're trying to put together a championship level team in the present when they have an all-time great point guard and more on their team we're also trying to develop young talent for the next stage and in the grand scheme of the NBA this hasn't worked often when you think about teams that have won championships especially in the recent future or the recent recent years we have the Milwaukee Bucks who traded a ton of picks to get that last piece for drew holiday we have the LA Lakers who traded all of their picks in their young assets to get Anthony Davis we got the Toronto Raptors who are low key I guess it was kind of a finesse they traded the Martin Rosen and one young piece and I think one more extra pick or something low key kind of finesse of a trade we think about a shout out to Masai and then you got yourself when you won those other championships but that wasn't like you didn't have any young players on the team really it was like hey we played free agency and cap ridiculously well remember when Steph Curry took an extension when he was still on the bum ankle which means that we had a lot of cap space when cap space opened up and we got Kevin Arach so we giving that a little x that don't really fit into what I'm trying to explain right now the heat traded everything for the championships to bring in the big three the Mavericks wasn't it didn't have the young players either they made moves to try to get get better now and gave up pieces and they blew the team up after winning the championship it's just it's just kind of weird the only team I can look at in recent history that low key kind of did this to some extent was the Spurs you had an aging Tim Duncan an aging Tony Park and Mono Ginobili were still good players you can say the same thing about Steph Curry Clay Thompson and Draymond Green all going to be still really good players but they also had the boy and Kawhi Leonard to come in and be the guy that's going to keep it together right now but also supposed to be the guy for the future now unfortunately for the Spurs um Kawhi Leonard suffered a quad injury that derailed his entire career with the San Antonio Spurs but that was the only thing I could think about where an aging team had a young player that was going to be the bridge between the now in the future because at the end of the day the only thing that matters for the Warriors for Steph Curry for Draymond and for Clay Thompson is winning another championship I know I saw the reports of Draymond Green texting the general manager saying when their pick was up he wanted Kaminga on the team respect that I understand Kaminga's a bucket I've been watching some summer league I understand now but is Jonathan Kaminga this upcoming season where you're trying to win a championship or even next season we're trying to win a championship is he going to help you get over that hump the answer is probably not so what now I saw some more reports that they're still thinking about Ben Simmons and I'm like what does that even look like because I don't think you can trade Kaminga I don't think you can trade Moses Moody right now because they're a summer league they didn't they didn't ink their contracts already right so you'd have to do the Wiseman you'd have to do the Wiggins and then some picks I guess I don't know and I wonder what Warriors fantastic obviously Warriors fans are probably in cloud now because again Jonathan Kaminga Moses Moody able to really solid and in summer league but they also look like players that might take a couple years before if they're going to ever be an all-star caliber player to be that all-star caliber player when the Warriors in 2021 probably need one more piece to be in that upper echelon of contenders and listen I think they had a very good offseason if you can get Otto Porter to play games Otto Porter is an amazing player to have on your team for the amount of money you pay of that minimum OP bro only 28 years old it's so disappointed because when you got traded from the Washington Chicago Bulls I was low key kind of hype because the previous years he was a 40% 3-point shooter 40% 3-point shooter 40% 3-point shooter then he got to Chicago and never was playing and he was in the clubs do they got clubs where he just got signed to because of close them close them because OP will be there but if you could keep him healthy that's an amazing pickup um um who else Nemanja Bialitza adds another element to the offense because you know that Draymond Green could play some small ball five and having Nemanja Bialitza clay tops and a Steph Curry on the court together sounds like an offense that's going to be hitting the 100 threes and I know Nemanja is not going to average more than like 20ish minutes a game but in those 20 minutes if he could still shoot at the clip that he had shot in the previous points of his career a W and now Iggy is back this man wrote a whole book about him being a six man with the Warriors and he's back so I do like their offseason but I'm very curious to what type of conversations went on in their front office that ultimately led to them for two years in a row keeping a pick where majority of NBA fans thought that they would have been wants to be buyers were they being stingy with these picks were teams asking for too much because I can understand them calling up the 76ers during the draft and say hey we won't been Simmons and the 76ers write like we won both of the picks we won't Wiggins to make the contracts work we won't Weisman and we want your next four picks let me know two things Warriors fans I always pose I'm going to try to keep posing the question for the die hard fans about the organization I'm talking about if your team doesn't win the championship in the next couple years do you think as a fan of the Warriors you'll look back on these recent draft picks and regret them regardless of how good these players could be in the near future because I think they're they're going to be pretty solid in the future if you don't win another championship with this big three of this core that you won three with already will you regret keeping these picks and that's another NBA today ladies and gentlemen every NBA every day I didn't forget to name my own so love y'all peace


Hi everyone and welcome to your daily Barnes takeout. I'm Karl Walsh, I'm a postdoctoral fellow in the Department of Research, Interpretation and Education here at the Barnes and today we're going to go have a look at a Greek vase which is located in the cabinet against the north wall ensemble in room 15 and this is a cabinet we visited a number of times to look at a couple of different objects but there is just so much to see in this cabinet so it's lovely to come back to it. So the Greek vase that we're having a look at today is located here on the top shelf and it dates to the Iron Age of Greece in the 8th century BC which is a period that we call the geometric period which is named after the style of vase painting that appears at this time and if we zoom in on our vase so here it is a little bit closer you can immediately see why geometric is a particular keyword for this type of vase painting we've got these fantastic geometric patterns which run across the entire surface of the vessel and you can see that there's really no breeding space it's very busy all the available space is kind of full of decoration and we call this particular kind of technique horror vacui which is just kind of filling all of the available surface space with some form of decoration and this makes it a little bit busy and overwhelming but if you look closely rather than being kind of very repetitive a lot of this geometric design on this vessel is very unique and there's a lot of attention paid to by the artist in presenting something kind of unique and different in every register that we have and a lot of these vessels are divided up into lots and lots of different registers in terms of decoration so looking at our vessel you can see that at the top near the rim we've got this nice repeating pattern of kind of rhomboids or diamonds with little dots in the center of them we have this kind of zigzagging pattern which within it has these alternating bands of kind of hatched linear decoration just lovely little details that really pop out when you look into it a little bit closer and then we've got this kind of band of checkered patterning and then below we have below we have these panels which have alternating scenes of a small rosette again with these kind of nice linear hatching patterns inside the decoration and the same thing goes for these little bands that kind of just separate the different panels and then in this scene here we have a little figural scene of a deer or more likely some kind of antelope with what looks like some kind of fowl like maybe a goose or a kind of or maybe a stork or eagret of some kind and I really like this little scene the antelope has this real kind of sense of energy and movement to it and it's very kind of elegantly presented but at the same time it's very kind of schematic and very kind of in keeping with this kind of geometric theme it's very kind of angular and looks like it's comprised of shapes rather than kind of being a kind of representational image of what an antelope really looks like and then you can see even just in the small spaces here there's little attempts to kind of fill up the space with additional pieces of decoration and patterning which again really common in geometric vase painting and we don't really know what the meaning of the pairing of kind of antelope and sometimes deer or horses with birds in these scenes but they're very common in geometric vase painting and there's obviously some kind of meaning or relevance behind them but we just don't really understand what it is and then on the body of the vase we have some more kind of linear and kind of waved line decoration we have these nice rhomboids here which kind of looked to me like cowry shells which kind of form a nice little band around the main body and then tapering down towards the base we've got some more kind of linear decoration and horizontal lines and things as well and what you might not kind of immediately notice as well is that the handle is actually decorated too and you can see here that it's this lovely stylized snake or maybe even like the skeleton of a snake because it has these kind of little strokes that are coming off of it which kind of remind me of a millipede a little bit but then it also kind of looks maybe like a snake skeleton too and again we don't really understand what the significance of snakes are but they often appear specifically on the handles of geometric bases and sometimes they are actually kind of modeled in 3D on the handle too so there's obviously some kind of meaning and it always appears kind of on the specific part of the vessel too so kind of interesting it maybe has like some kind of apotropaic function like some kind of magical protection or maybe connected with healing in some way but saying that all of these designs kind of work together to create this almost kind of psychedelic effect that really catches the eye and it's certainly intentional because geometric ceramics are often very monumental they were actually while they take the form of something that is used for drinking and for storage they're usually found in cemeteries particularly around Athens and they were used often for as grave markers so these can sometimes actually be funerary monuments which are dedicated to an individual and which is a pretty different function than what we would assume by just looking at this object but saying that they still take the form of vessels which also tells us a lot about what the Greeks are doing in using pottery in life too and the form of this vessel is pretty kind of clear it's got this flaring rim and a nice big handle and this great big body which clearly is meant to hold liquid so it's definitely some kind of pouring vessel and we know we call this specific type of vessel anonokoi which is specifically used for serving wine and at this time in kind of the 8th century in Greece the Greeks are forming lots of new practices surrounding the consuming of wine which are probably heavily influenced from wine drinking practices in the ancient Near East from the Phoenicians and from the Assyrians and the Greeks are adapting this into a new form and new type of kind of Greek drinking event which they call the symposium and these are basically kind of big male only drinking parties which have this real emphasis on drinking on the kind of decadent consumption of wine and getting very drunk and kind of this theme of drunkenness and the Greeks develop their own specialized range of ceramic vessels that are all tied in with the consumption of wine in these big parties and one of the things I like to think about in thinking about why this decoration appears on these types of vessels is how it's really kind of when you're drunk these patterns must have been very kind of disorientating a little bit kind of trippy and because you know they they are very kind of confusing and overwhelming and maybe this helped to kind of create a sense of drunkenness and kind of highlight an altered state of mind when you're using them and why they're kind of decorated in this way and to get the an idea of the types of vessels used in the symposium we don't actually have to go far we actually have to only go back to our cabinet here at the barns and look at where this vessel is being presented so in this cabinet you've got two of these large onakoi which are both geometric in date and then we have two smaller vessels here which are from later periods they're from the archaic and classical periods in Greece but they're both connected to the symposium so we have this amphora and then this is called a crater and an amphora is basically used for storing and transporting wine and a crater is used for mixing and preparing wine so the Greeks preferred to have their wine mixed with water to dilute it down and these craters would be used as a vessel where you could basically mix the wine with water and then the onakoi are used for then serving the wine so what we have here in the cabinet is almost a kind of a symposium assemblage which kind of really shows off the range of vessels that are used and also the types of decoration that feature on these and I really like how they kind of tell the story about what the Greeks are doing with their drinking practices and the only real type of vessel that we're missing from this kind of assemblage is the kylex which is a very broad and shallow drinking vessel which often has handles as well but this is the main type of vessel that you would actually drink the wine from so if we had one of those that would kind of complete the set but next time that you're having a look at this cabinet think about how these vessels would have been used in life and how the painting might have added to the experience of the drinking party in terms of kind of storytelling and the visual effects of the decoration and kind of being drunk so I hope you enjoyed this barn's takeout we'll be coming to you on a

At Purdue University, I'm studying the latest breakthrough in food science for better quality, safety, and preservation. That's my small steps to fitting the world. Take your first step at Purdue.edu.


The Rafa border crossing into Gaza was closed on November 8, due to an unspecified security circumstance, but US officials were working with Egypt and Israel to get it reopened. US State Department Deputy Spokesperson Badant Patel said, Rafa, which is controlled by Egypt and does not border Israel, is the only point of aid delivery since Israel launched a military assault in Siege of Gaza in retaliation for an attack by Hamas militants from the coastal strip on October 7.Evacuations of. Russian passport holders through the crossing were suspended on Saturday and Sunday after an Israeli strike on an ambulance that was heading to Rafa, but the crossing was open again on Monday and Tuesday. The rules to have departed Gaza continues to be at more than 400, the number I provided up yesterday don't have any additional updates at this time. Outbound inbound traffic at all through Rafa today. It remains closed, as our understanding correct. In your conversations with Egyptians, do they give it all the timeline on when it might be reopened? Again, I'm just not going to parse into the specifics of the parameters as our understanding is that its closure was because of a certain security circumstance. So our expectation is that once that circumstance is resolved, the crossing will be open at the regular intervals that it's been open and the flow of humanitarian aid into Gaza and the facilitation of foreign nationals interested in exiting will be able to do so. What I can say and this is not the first time that you've heard me, the Secretary or Matt or others say this and dating back to October 7th, we have laid out in clear terms and we have done so directly with our counterparts and our partners and the Israeli government that there is a moral imperative, a strategic imperative and a responsibility to distinguish between Hamas terrorists and Palestinian civilians in Gaza and we'll continue to lay out that very clearly and we have also raised directly that we believe that there are additional steps that can be taken by the Israeli government to ensure protection of civilians and we'll be continuing to watch closely. You know it's going to be a good briefing when you have a...


The things I do for you what what am I doing for you? Yeah, there's a spider up there, huh? Yeah You're giving ones Venomous spiders for me, aren't you? Yeah, and that one you brought up right there.

Assalamualaikum everyone something quite surprising happened in Indonesia recently I think yesterday. A Muslim woman was sentenced to almost two years in prison for attempting something quite unusual. These women known as Lena Mokharidze is not just an ordinary person she is a content creator and an influencer who identifies as Muslim. What surprised me the most is her audacity to openly go against the tradition of Allah despite claiming to be a real Muslim. Now let's apparently talk about the video that got her into the trouble that she is back when we're right now because she is in the prison right now. The first thing that caught my eyes was her decision not to wear a hijab while it is true that wearing a hijab is a mandatory for Muslim women devout women often chose to do so out of respect for Allah and their bodies. In her video she seemed to not care about that. What was even more puzzling was when she said this prayer Bismillah. What was she thinking? What those Islamic prayer has to do with consuming pork? Did she really realize that she was in Indonesia a country with a strong Muslim presence? Regardless of her beliefs she was subject to Islamic penal law. I want to emphasize the serousness of her actions she used the secret phrase Bismillah for those who may not know these phrase translate into in the name of Allah the most gracious the most merciful and reflect fundamental beliefs in Islam about Allah's nature. It highlights his boundless compassion mercy and benevolence using it in the context of a pork diet is not just disrespectful it's also blasphemous does that mean it's dangerously blasphemous. Follow this incident. There was a significant uproar on Indonesian social media especially Twitter with two group of people at odd with each other some including Christians and expatriate disagreed with the punishment given to this lukewarm Muslim lady. They pointed to other cases like Jakarta's ex-governor Basuki Tehaja Panumia. A Christian who was jailed for comments perceived as insulting to Islam. Well the lessons we should take away from this is that one should never take martyrs of faith lightly regardless of their position in society. Going against religious beliefs can lead to legal consequences and taking the law into our hands like as in jungle justice or killing people immediately that transgress the law only forces more hatred towards Islam. By taking such martyrs through the legal system Indonesia demonstrated self as a civilized country where everyone is accountable for their action regardless of the status in the society. Thank you very much for watching until next time. Take care.


Avian influenza is a respiratory virus in birds very similar to influenza in people so I mean it's the same sort of thing in birds something that travels very quickly between different birds in the respiratory system so it's very similar to influenza in people. Avian influenza however is a bird issue in the United States and the way we raise poultry in the United States minimizes any any potential issues between people and birds. We do not have sick birds go into the food supply so there is no issue with avian influenza as a health issue for people in terms of eating chicken or eggs. Avian influenza is spread by waterfowl that have contracted it in mixing with birds from Asia so as they move north now toward their summer grounds in in the Arctic there's they're potentially spreading avian influenza as they go so it is transmitted either through the feces of the ducks for instance as they're flying or it can be transmitted bird to bird just as any other respiratory disease. We can get initial avian influenza flocks from waterfowl flying over but much of the problem from there stems from the disease being spread from farm to farm or from small flock to small flock by people and other animals so isolating birds with biosecurity reduces the risk of avian influenza spread so that is one of the main ways we have to keep avian influenza from spreading. From a biosecurity standpoint we normally suggest that people wear separate clothes and separate boots to visit their poultry particularly if they have other friends that have poultry or they live in an area with a lot of commercial poultry so that they do not bring things into their flock. Most people will have a boot bath too so that they can dip their boots into a cleaning solution as they go in and out of their coop. You want to keep your coop closed it with netting over the top to keep birds and mice and things like that out. Also normally we suggest limiting visitors particularly if they're visitors that either have poultry or have pet birds like parakeets, cockatiels and things like that because you can spread disease that way. Under the current circumstances where we have a worry of avian influenza I would not allow visitors at all for the time being. Also it's not a time to be taking part in poultry shows or poultry swap meets or things like that. The state has put a stop movement of poultry on at this time so that all poultry shows will be canceled.  Chickens have feathers so it's a little more difficult to tell when they're sick than it is with other animals but you can tell by their body language and as with a lot of respiratory diseases if they're having trouble breathing and that sort of thing. That's an indication that they have a respiratory disease of some sort and should check with the state to see what the problem is. If backyard flock owners have some mortality birds will die from time to time but if their chickens are obviously sick and several birds have died they should take several birds to the state and call the state commissioner of ag in industry's office and have those birds looked at to make sure they're not having influenza problems. In Alabama we have four state diagnostic labs that are regionally located so that people can have their birds checked if they have a disease problem. Those labs are in Boaz, Hanceville, Auburn and Elba and you can take a few sick birds to those labs have them tested for a range of poultry diseases and they will test to see if it is avian influenza. There's a small charge but if you are trying to decide what type of disease your birds have and what to do about it it's worth the money and effort.


TESOL jobs in Japan General information Japan can present the traveler with a bewildering combination of culture, manners, beauty, architecture and personalities Whether one goes to Fujisan, Mount Fuji, to admire its serene beauty, or one party's all night long in Roppongi, the nightclub district of Tokyo One is constantly taken aback and presented with the unexpected. At times a shade frustrating, such as when you are on a train so crowded that you go three stops past the one you wanted because you cannot move Hence, the Gajun, or Foreigner learns to laugh about these things and accepts them as a part of life A population of 127 million is jammed into a landmass of 145 square miles Indeed, the population density in the big cities is amazing The official language is Japanese, but plenty of people in the big cities speak English, though don't be surprised if it is Katakana English, Blakely for Bakery and Rub Rub Me Do for Love Love Me Do The confusion between Elendara's widespread This may be amusing, however, less so when you find yourself having to speak this way to make yourself understood With this said, Japanese is not only the curse of learning many Asian languages, the grammar, like English is actually very easy to pick up and one can quickly develop a variety of useful phrases It should be noted that Japanese is expressed in three types of writing, so becoming literate is a tall order Fortunately in many of the big city signs are in English as well as in Japanese This is not true of most institutions, so make sure you have good directions when you set out for schools, etc The economy has bounced back from the dreadful economic downturn of the 90s, a time when many Tesla all jobs were slashed Nowadays it's business as usual, and there are lots of different opportunities in schools, universities and in corporations There is also plenty of opportunity with privates and with conversation lounges English is highly fashionable and much of the market is seeking self-improvement and better social status Teaching. There are opportunities for those without an undergraduate degree, but for most circumstances of Tesla all qualification is a requisite Some of the better jobs and the benefits that come with them can only be available or only to those with an undergraduate degree, but it is worth checking with the employer One plus in favor of Japan is a destination is that there is no requisite for two years as teaching experience Hence it is a good place to build up your teaching resume High school students are not quite as disciplined as they used to be and are expecting something fun and interesting in their curriculum Nevertheless, teachers are held in great respect and if you are out in some of the more remote provinces you can expect rock stars status English teachers work in a wide variety of situations, from language institutes to corporate training programs to conversation lounges As mentioned, English is fashionable and many people study it or practice it as a leisure activity In whatever environment you teach you must remember that presentation is extremely important As a teacher or a conversation tutor it is extremely important in this respect driven society to recognize that you occupy a respectable position and must present yourself accordingly Above, one must deal with Katakana English Many Japanese have considerable knowledge of English, however, they are let down by their pronunciation and oral comprehension This is because they have seldom heard a native English speaker speak Hence the teacher's task is to bridge that gap and also to make Blakely Bakery and Piano Rounge Piano Lounge Japanese cannot hear the difference And the main students are respectful, attentive and work hard They like to have a bit of fun as well, so digressing into games here and there helps maintain their interest Visits and regulations The best option is to seek out an employer who is willing to sponsor you For this you will be looking away from the bottom end of the market and considering making a commitment to a particular institution for a period of time The work permit only permits you to work for the company that has sponsored you and is normally good for 6 months, a year or 18 months depending on the application made The good thing about Japan is that the visa process is now much easier You can now arrive on a tourist visa and apply for and be issued a work permit without leaving the country Work permits are only granted to those holding an undergraduate degree Popular destinations Tokyo, the nation's capital is really quite extraordinary to experience Glittering skyscrapers and swish shopping malls stand alongside serene temples and outdoor markets The nightlife is out of this world and the same can be said of the restaurants, however, one must bear in mind that accommodation is not easy and the cost of living is extraordinarily expensive Outside of Tokyo things get a lot cheaper, Sapporo, brewing capital of Japan, offers a friendly welcome to visitors and is set in a rugged landscape Osaka, on the other hand is a thriving but none too pretty metropolis except that is after dark when they switch on the neon lighting Kyoto is a different world with three imperial palaces and over a hundred temples all set in beautifully manicured gardens The cultural center of Japan is a must for a visit at the very least Getting a job A modicum of preparation prior to setting out will pay dividends Think of not one country but the continent of Asia You may come to value mobility once you hit this part of the world Hence, it is a very good idea to contact all of the Asian embassies your country of origin, inquiring about teaching and visas and see what you get back You will find that you have a nice big file folder of leads and information that will vary from country of origin to country of origin, Asian embassy to Asian embassy There are avenues that can be utilized to gain a placement prior to setting out Princeton and Stanford universities run volunteer programs in various countries, a component of which is TESOL teaching The TESOL program, for example, is open to graduates and graduating seniors and charges a fee of $1,975 for one year and $975 for two This covers the cost of flights, training, visas and insurance Some may wish to participate in the JET program which offers generous salaries, accommodation and flights for those wishing to work as teaching assistants for one year The downside is that you have no choice where you are placed UK applicants should contact Those of another countries of origin should contact their local Japanese consulate and inquire what is available Many Japanese language schools have set up programs with universities in America and Britain There is the website which is for TESOL with an interest in Japan It is quite feasible to arrive on a tourist visa and then look for a job Sources include the websites dealt with above and the English language paper The Japan Times, which often carries ads for teachers Look out though, life is mighty expensive if you base yourself in your job quest in Tokyo The upside of this approach though, is that you get to evaluate prospective employers and look before you leave For most engagements you will need notarized copies of all of your certificates You will also need to have a resume, which the British call a CV The Japanese call it a resume, so you should too As mentioned above, three things matter in Japan, presentation, presentation, presentation Be smartly and carry a briefcase with all your documents in it Once you have a half decent job, hopefully with sponsorship with it and perhaps accommodation as well Then you can think about private tuition and conversation lounges These are very good ways to greatly increase your income Don't rely on them too heavily since the immigration department wants to see your income tax statement every time you renew your work permit If you want to see evidence of a minimum income and you should check what this is when you apply for your work permit Test all jobs in Japan If you are thinking about becoming a certified English teacher by training in a vibrant and unique city, then our Tokyo campus could be the right choice for you Our extensive certification course will provide all the necessary skills and knowledge you need to start a new career as an

In this overview, we are going to briefly demonstrate the dashboard printing feature introduced in DHIS 235. In order to demonstrate this feature, I am going to use the dashboard that I currently have open. We can quickly access the dashboard printing feature by selecting the More button on the dashboard itself. We can then scroll down to the Print option within this menu. We can see that there are two layouts we can select from when we want to print the dashboard. This includes dashboard layout, which will print the dashboard according to the layout we see on screen, and the one item per page layout, which will print out each dashboard item on its own page, using the current dashboard layout to determine the order of the pages in the printout. Let's have a quick look at the dashboard layout option. When I select this option, it will take me to a print preview page. The first page of the printout is the dashboard name. If I scroll down, I can then see the dashboard items according to the layout that is defined on the dashboard itself. We can go back to the dashboard by selecting Exit Print Preview. Let's now have a look at the one item per page option. We go to More, Print, and then select one item per page from the menu. If I scroll down, then we can see that one dashboard item is added per page of the printout. This option gives a bit more room for charts and maps to be displayed. In this scenario, let us say this is our preferred option of printing the dashboard. Select the Print button in order to print the dashboard. From here, we can either print it to a PDF so we can save and share it electronically, or we can make physical printouts as required. In this example, I will save it as a PDF. Using this option, we can view it now on our device and use it as needed. This feature should be useful in allowing you to quickly print your dashboard, whether physically or electronically, without having to take screenshots and stitch dashboard items together. We look forward to hearing your comments on this feature. For any questions, please do not hesitate to contact us on the Community of Practice.


President Seppard? How are you? What a great pleasure. Well, it's nice to see you. Oh, it's thrilling. I'm so happy to be here. I'd like you to meet my daughter, Clementine. This is my husband, Bruce Oppenheimer. I'd like to meet you. And my shy daughter, Clementine. Hi, Clementine. My darling Clementine. Well, I think we already know now. Why don't you come there and we get a family picture? That's great. She wanted to know how people were going to believe that she'd really been here with you. I said, well, they'll take a picture and you can show. Everybody's looking here for one. Thank you, Mr. President. In case I want to take up with you. Now, it's a missing person, isn't it? You're serious, husband. We don't pick up again for next season. They had to settle the writer's strike. Oh, it's still on. Yeah, so I don't have a TV show until I settle that and start writing some scripts. Anyway, this is really exciting. It's really a pleasure to be here. Well, it's nice to see you. Sayu, see you here, too. Well, thank you, Mr. President. Thank you so much. It's a great pleasure. Well, this is a great pleasure for me and unexpected also. Oh, I'm absolutely thrilled. Just to see you in that box. Oh, yes. Thank you so much. I appreciate it. It's a great pleasure. Can you say goodbye? Thank you so much. Sayu, can you just say it? I'm just going to teach you a little history here. Well, you see that thing on the floor, a double bow there. That is the great American seal, the national seal. And if you notice that the eagle in the middle has in his claws on that side an olive branch, which means peace. And on this side arrows, which mean war. And then if you look over at that old desk, which goes way back in years, the eagle is looking at the claw with the arrows. And it wasn't until after World War II that President Trump had the seal changed the eagle looking toward the olive branch and standing. That's beautiful. Well, I'm glad they did. I'm going to take the class and found them. Yeah, they'll never know that. Oh, right. I'm a chiropractor from Maryland. I would have to ask you if you want an adjustment. Oh, that will tell you. You're manicurist. Her name is Rose. Yes. Her son, Kenneth, is one of my best friends. And he's a chiropractor. He went to school together. Well, for heaven's sakes. I'm not a chiropractor. Where did you go to school? I went to Los Angeles College of Chiropractic. Because I, for some years, was an employee here. I know. That was your first job. That's right. That's right. I knew it. I knew it. I knew it. I know. That was your first job. That's right. That's right. I knew it. WHL Radio. See, I remember that. WOC Davenport, which was in the Palmer School of Chiropractic. Right, right. WOC stood for World of Chiropractic. That's amazing. Tell them to sign you diploma. You signed my diploma from college. That's right. It was before it was Cal State Northridge. It was Valley State. Right. I guess 60. I don't know. I got 60. It was 1970. That's good. That's fine. Done well. Thank you so much. It was a great pleasure. Nice to see you. Thank you. Bye. Bye. It's good to see you again. Vice-President, foreign minister, special assistant, director of national security, and the ambassador. Excuse me, President. Good morning, Mr. President. General Powell. I'm very happy to be here. I'm very happy. Ken, do you know the president? Mr. President, Ken, do you know the president? I'm very happy to be here. It's great to be here. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Madam. Yes, sir. Madam. Can you tell me one way of examining the process? Yes, exactly. What are you, from the White House or the State Department? State Department, right. Chet Crop is just back from Zaire about two weeks ago. I should remember that. I should remember that. But please say that this week more. I've never understood exactly how much English the President of Zaire speaks or understands. I think quite a bit. It's already a few words. I want to thank you when I was governor. A whole group of self-expressionists. You're speaking to me through words. I have a question. Can you speak to me through words? Then I got suspicious that maybe they understood more English when they were very young. I said they should understand more English. Nice to see you. Nice to see you, sir. You do cover the nation so well. Nice to see you, too. That was kind of home territory. Right. You know that you're all teammates so well. I am, too, Mr. President. I should have brought that up. We've said hello already. Mr. President, hello there. Well, please, you see this. We call that a wave. Sometimes there's three or four waves. The old man was going to sell time back to the Japanese and they had three waves and they kept coming in and he just sat there as if he was terrified. When it was over I thought, why? Well, I'll tell you. I think it's a crime. After a lifetime of propaganda about us, I've never seen it before. The opportunities when we had to be in person, be out in the automobile. You just couldn't get over their friendliness. It's a bureaucracy. I'm going to start with you. We really appreciate what you've done. Well, thank you. As you can see, I'm holding my hands. I've got some remarks to make here. I want to thank you all and welcome to the White House. It was called the Roosevelt Room. It was named after the Republican President, Teddy Roosevelt. And on the other hand, if you come here during the last administration, they'd have told you that the room is named after the Democratic Party. The truth, of course, is that the Roosevelt Room is named after both Roosevelt's. Teddy and Franklin alike. I'd like to point out that the Roosevelt family brought that in. Caleb to his heaven, this room. That is the Nobel Peace Award that Teddy Roosevelt won for settling the Russo-Japanese War. And sometimes with the right audience in here, I'd like to point out that he did it in what most people would say was typical Republican style. He was sitting in a yacht at the time. I think at the right here at the very center of the West Wing, where so many important decisions are made, has a powerful reminder that being a Republican or a Democrat takes second place to being an American. That's the answer. That's an especially appropriate thought, given the nature of our meetings here today. We're the Roosevelt Room, and it affects us all, regardless of party. And the need to involve the private sector in this great effort is not a need of this or that group, but a need of the entire nation. And it's a need that could hardly be more pressing. I've often said that when the federal government declared war on poverty, poverty won. The federal government saw 59 major welfare programs costing more than $100 billion a year. But there's good evidence that this federal money has only made dependency harder to escape. I've always believed that the key to reducing dependency and poverty lies in reaching out, out from Washington to the states and communities. And one of my biggest difficulties is getting Congress to believe this. Once again, Congress is about to vote on legislation that compounds and continues the failures of the past. The bill before the Senate and similarly flawed legislation already passed by the House of Representatives spends billions to expand the welfare system that hasn't worked. They do not require able-bodied welfare recipients to perform any work for community service, which is essential, I think, to welfare reform. In addition, these bills fail to show confidence in your abilities by excluding the broad waiver if necessary for the implementation of state and community-based reforms. You can rest assured that I continue to favor welfare reform, but welfare expansion of the type now under consideration in Congress will meet with a veto. Right there, by the way. Glad to hear that. As our administration has given the 50 states more flexibility, the states have responded. Demonstrating, for example, that we can have more effective child support informant practices, that we can have welfare systems that provide genuine job training, that we can have welfare programs that give the welfare recipients one of the highest forms of dignity known to man, the dignity of working for what they receive. And while I'm mentioning the innovations we've seen in the states, I want to commend Governor Tom Kane and Mayor William Morris under their leadership in the state of New Jersey and Shelby County, Tennessee, have been at the very forefront of these innovations. But the private sector has a role to play here as well, and that should come as no surprise. Once we get our hands off big government for just a moment, we can see that Americans have always been generous, always concerned about helping their neighbors. And indeed, during the economic expansion of the past six years, we've seen private donations to charity go up. Today, charitable giving in America is running at a rate 77 percent higher than that of just eight years ago. It shows what the private sector can do when government restrains itself from the economy control. Last year alone, the funds raised for various worthwhile causes came to an historic $84 billion. The biggest amount ever in our history. But the money itself, whether from government or private sources, is of no use unless there are more and more people like you, people who understand what it takes to escape dependency and are willing to lend a helping hand to others. I couldn't possibly recognize all of the good work that your conference here represents. I've just been hearing more about the innovative ideas Don Krebs has come up with. And there's the wonderful organization called Helping Ourselves Means Education. And those letters spell home. Founded by Carol Sasaki and a single mother on welfare. Homes help thousands of Americans who need come to understand the importance of education. And the self-esteem and successive fosters in leading people to independent and productive lives. There's the job training for hundreds of national women's employment and education incorporated. In 1985, along this program, headed by Lupe Anguiano saw more than 70 women there. Thank you very much. The sign was too close. Well, women have apparently trapped forever in welfare dependency, found jobs and become self-supporting. And that's Kimi Gray and her college Here We Come program. Kimi was raised right here in Washington. She had a rough childhood. By the time she was only 19, she was on welfare in the mother of five. Today, she's a nationally recognized leader in the movement for resident management of public housing. And listen to this. Back in the mid-1970s, the housing development Kimi herself lived in was breeding a high school dropout rate of 80%. In large part because of her efforts. Today, 80% of the development's young people are completing high school and 30% are going on to college. So I think you will agree. Government programs and money can't solve problems by themselves. What's needed is people. Committed people. People like Don, Kimi, B-Pay, Carol. People like all of you. I want you to know that you have my support and I think you've guessed at my appreciation and I'm looking forward to receiving your recommendations on promoting self-sufficiency by harnessing the genius of self-help. In the means of the Americans, you're pointing the way to a better future. The future of education, prosperity and perhaps the most valuable commodity of all self-respect. And I thank you all and God bless you all. Kimi, having talked about you, I thought maybe you might have something to add right here. Yes, Mr. President, a few words. Last year when I had the opportunity to sit before you, I explained very clearly that what we had done reduced our welfare and recidivism from 80% to 75% This year, that's been reduced to 2% but the ultimate goal for our community now is to purchase our housing development because also we know one of the goals of this administration and we intend to be the first person to like to do it this year if possible have you turned the key to us. One of the things we wanted to clearly make clear today was that HUD needs to full understand that there are no options to the regulations there right now for the local housing authorities to provide for HUD right now they do not understand that they need to abide by the housing laws and regulations right now they are writing against us in favor of us. If you can possibly assist us with that, Mr. President then all our goals will be reached on ownership, reducing welfare and recidivism and all. And we hope that you can assist us in that, Mr. President. Well, I'd like to very much the first glimpse I ever saw of that believe it or not was in that city in ancient Singapore and I think I'd like to leave one view Prime Minister there one of the world's great statesmen and he took me on a tour and he showed me yesterday in public housing and it looked so neat and clean and mowed and everything and he said well we don't mind building it but we don't like being the landlord so he said we've done everything we can to make it possible for the tenants to buy their units even to the point of allowing them to use their future social security as means of getting a mortgage that they could use that as to justify it and so to make it possible whatever is needed to get them to be the owners and the result was just what you found yourself once someone does own that place and they had a pretty good security also in case someone wanted to pull something and sell once you bought it and owned it became a property owner if you ever sold it you were ineligible for public housing but then you were a property owner President they've been tapping on my shoulder on your behalf I'll help Kimmy with that we really appreciate you going from summit to summit this way I appreciate all of your comments thank you I'm collecting jokes that I from the Soviet Union jokes that I find they're telling and this one was told to me after we got back by one of our Secret Service agents their story is that Gorbachev and I were in limousine my Secret Service man his KGB man he was sightseeing and he stopped and showed us a great waterfall and we all got out and we were looking and then he said to my agent go ahead jump over and my agent said I've got a wife and three kids and so he turned to his man and said jump over and his men jump well our man went scrambling down around the falls the rocks to get down there and find out what happened found it down there ringing out his clothes and he said look what he told you to do why did you jump he says I've got a wife and three kids it was issues associated with which will be the subject of your meeting on Sunday afternoon right after the arrival ceremony we'll go into a heads of state meeting where these issues will be covered except Mrs. Statue will leave the discussion but each head of state will be asked to provide their perspective on these issues and I think the easiest way to handle this one is to turn it over to Jim Baker for his presentation right after the process Mr. President as I understand it that that initial session is not for the purpose of the heads to focus on their own economies but really to market-oriented economic policies that you brought to the table in 1981 and 1982 and that were basically derided at the time I remember it I know you remember it there wasn't anybody there with us in 1981 and now they're following all over themselves to follow you and I think you can't say that but hopefully some of the others will I think it's the view Alan has been in these Sherpa meetings there's a view of the Canadians that they'd like to have that result but the one thing you can talk about are some of those very same policies new regulation tax reform reduced government spending they seem to me to be appropriate for you to talk a little bit about


So for example, let's do solve this equation here right now, right? So when you want to solve something like this where you have two x terms, they're different powers, so you can't combine them. What you want to do is take out a GCF from both of them. GCF meaning greatest common factor. So what's similar between both of these? Well, this contains only one x. This contains two x's. That's what x squared means. So you can take out an x from both of them. You couldn't take out an x squared because that doesn't have two x's. You can only take out basically a supply chain. I think what's it called? The weakest link in the chain, right? And this is the smallest link in the chain, so you can't take out anything more than this. So right now you can factor out an x. Okay. Now you took out an x from this. So basically what you're doing, you're going two x squared divided by x. One x kills one x. So you've got two x here, and x divided by x gives you one, right? And that's how you, you know, isolate this into one thing, multiply it to another thing to give you zero. And as we talked about before, if two things multiply them together to give you zero, then all you do is set each one equal to zero. So x is equal to zero, two x plus one is equal to zero. You're solving for both of them equaling zero because you don't know which one equals zero. So you're going to assume they both equal zero. So this is just a straight up answer, x equals zero. Over here, this becomes two x is equal to negative one divided by two divided by two. So x is equal to negative one over two. That's your second solution. And for those who already, you know, talked about quadratic equations, x equals zero and x equals negative one over two is where the parabola crosses the x-axis. So if you're looking at this, you would go x equals zero and x equals negative a half, if that's negative one, that's negative a half. That's where the parabola crosses the x-axis. And we know this parabola opens up because the number here is positive. So this is what our parabola is going to look like. We don't know how far down it goes.  And for the y value, you just plug in negative a quarter here and whatever that equals, that's your y value. And again, I've gone way too far here. This is just for those people who have already done quadratic equations that want to know what these terms represent. And these terms, whatever we're solving for something in mathematics, initially, right now, all we're doing is acquiring the tools that we need to be able to apply the information, right? Initially, when we learned how to add, we didn't go around calculating what something's going to cost us to buy or how much tax would be on something or what a discount payment or anything like this, right? All we did was learn how to add, right? This is the same thing. All we're learning right now is learning how to solve for a variable. And these are functions and these solutions right here mean something. Later on, we're going to look at what they mean, okay? Right now, it's really important for us to get this technique down to be able to do, you know, different types of problems or solve different types of functions that are to the power. What I've done so far is just taken it to the x squared term, right? What you can also do is have something like x to the power of five minus x cubed is equal to zero, right? Again, this is to the power of five, but this is two terms that we can solve for. So, what you do is you take a look at this and say, what's the greatest common factor that you can take out of those? That's x to the power of three, three x's there, five x's there. So, you can take out three x's from both of them, right? Again, you can't take out five x's because this doesn't have five x's. You go into the weakest link in the chain, right? And you're taking down an equation. So, this becomes x cubed comes out. What do you multiply x cubed by? You give it two x to the power of five, you multiply by x squared minus, you already have an x cubed. So, you have to have the spot, you reserve it by one, right? Whenever you do GCF, always remember, if you start off with two terms, you have to have two terms. A lot of people make a mistake when they say, oh, it took the x cubed out, so there's nothing here, it's just x cubed times x squared. Oops, I forgot the two right away. So, two, they forget to put the one. You have to reserve the spot. My basic, the, my analogy I use, I sort of seems to stick with people is, if you go to a movie theater with two people, right? If you go to a movie with your friend and your friend goes to the washroom, do you still keep their spot or do you give it away, right? You have to keep the spot. Your friend's still there. Just because they went to the washroom, they're going to come back at some point, right? So, always remember, if you start off with two terms or multiple terms and you're taking out a GCF, you always have to have the same terms of whatever the GCF is that you took out. And again, right now we have two things that multiply together to give you zero. You set each one equal to zero. So, x cubed is equal to zero and two x squared minus one is equal to zero. So, q root, you take the q root of this side to solve for x, right? The opposite of q. So, x is equal to zero. Oh, you're x squared equal to one. So, x, okay. So, the solution is going to be x is equal to square root of one over two. And that's partial answer. This is correct if you're in my part, in my area, in my part of the world, this is correct answer if you're in grade eight and nine. If you're in grade ten or above, the square root of anything is always plus or minus. So, this is actually plus or minus square root of two. As far as I'm concerned, that would be a correct answer if I was marking anything. If you only wrote down square root of, square root of a half, you wouldn't only get half marks. Square root of anything is always plus or minus because if you think about it, what you're looking for is, let's say you've got the square root of, let's say you've got the square root of four, right? The way it works is this. Let's say you've got the square root of four. What's the square root of four? It's not just two. It's plus or minus two. Square root means you need two identical things, the multiplier is going to give you this number. What are two identical things? The multiplier is going to give you four, right? It's two times two. Two times two gives you four, but you can also have negative two times negative two. Negative two times negative two gives you four. So, square root of four is not just two. It's negative two as well. Always has two solutions. Square root of anything. So, right now, for this question, we have one answer, x is equal to zero, x is equal to positive square root of a half, and x is equal to negative square root of a half, okay? And those would be our three solutions. And just for those people who are, who have already gone into these types of functions, polynomial functions and stuff like this, these points is where you cross the x-axis. And to the power of five, x to the power of five, this means your function has five curves, and three times it crosses the x-axis, and it crosses the x-axis at zero. Negative square root. Anyway, plus or minus square root of a half, right? If you weren't going to graph this, let's graph this real quick. So, what we would have is these are the solutions, x is equal to zero square root of a half, negative square root of a half, and you were solving for this equation, right? And those were your solutions, and those are really where the function crosses the x-axis. If this was a function where your zero is f of x, right? So, f of x is your y-axis, and this is your x-axis. x is equal to zero is here. x is equal to square root of a half is going to be here somewhere, and negative square root of a half is half is this, right? Now the way it works is this guy came to us from the cube root, x cube is equal to zero. The way this works is cube root, or x cube, when you're graphing a function it gives it a little curve. This is an odd power, positive in the front, so the function is going to look like this, okay? This part is going to go up, this part is going to go down, and your solution is where your function is going to cross the x-axis. So, it will look something like this, go up as wherever we go up to, all you would do is take the average of these and punch them in. It's not going to be exact when it comes to higher degrees, as it is with quadratic equations, but you're going to get an idea of where it goes, so this thing would come down. That was the cube root, so it's going to do a little twist. Again, it's going to do this, come back up, and up it goes, and that's what our function is going to look like, okay? Hopefully that's what it's going to look like.


In this video, I'll show you the best way to cook a tritip and that's reverse searing. I'll teach you how to do it in your oven or on a Traeger or a pellet smoker and pair it with onions and poblano peppers. It makes the perfect tritip California burritos, nachos or tritip tacos. Diving in, this recipe uses a marinated Santa Maria tritip from Trader Joe's but I'll link to some ideas for using your own marinade at home. I highly recommend using a constant read food thermometer like the meter or probe on your Traeger just because you need a little bit of precision with a reverse sear. In an oven, 250 degrees for about an hour will get you to 115 to 120 degrees internally. That'll be about medium rare, 125 to 130 will be medium. Remember we'll be searing this in a pan afterwards so we'll pick up a little bit more heat. On a Traeger grill, 225 for about an hour and a half will get you there. In the last few minutes of your cook, you can do a little veggie prep. Cut two poblano peppers into thin 2 inch strips and then do the same with an onion, matching those peppers and then add them to a bowl and set that aside. Once your tritip has reached that 115 to 125 internal temperature range, you can pull it out of the oven or off the smoker and heat a large skillet or griddle. Over medium-high to high heat, you want a really hot pan before you add about a tablespoon of beef tallow oil, something like that. Then we'll add the tritip straight to the pan, pressing down to create as much contact with the pan as possible and sear all sides for about 30 to 60 seconds. Any part of this meat you can get a sear on, go for it. You don't have to worry about adding too much internal temperature over cooking here. So we'll transfer that to a board to rest for 10 to 15 minutes and while it rests, we'll cook our veggies down.  Give them a toss and then we'll add about a tablespoon of soy sauce, the unpronounceable worcestershire sauce or vinegar, something to give some umami notes and then we'll cook those for maybe four to five minutes until the onions are just starting to turn translucent, picking up some color around the edges and then we'll transfer those to a bowl and set them aside. Once your tritip has rested for 10 to 15 minutes, be sure you're not skipping the resting phase otherwise all these juices will just spill out all over your board and what a waste. Once it's rested, you're safe to thinly slice this. Be sure you're slicing against the grain. If you're unsure what that means, the grain or muscle fibers run two different directions on a tritip so it can be a little tricky. I'll link to some resources in the description below if you're unsure on how to carve a tritip. We'll thinly slice this and then we'll cut it into thin strips that kind of match about the size of our onions and peppers and you have two options. You can either mix everything together and serve it right away just like this and tacos, burritos, whatever you want or you can heat that same seal it up with a little bit more beef tallow or oil and sear this off one last time. If you're going to sear this, you'll probably only cook on the medium rare side so that 110 to 115 range as opposed to the 125. Just so you're not totally over-cooking this, I got this idea from Chef Tom at AT BBQ and his tritip tacos. To be honest, he's using a flat top griddle in a pan. I don't think I have enough space here. You could do it in batches, but I think I'd probably just serve these straight away. Speaking of serving, the first thing that came to mind for this was a California burrito, Santa Maria tritip. Why not go all the way California with some french fries? I smoked some charro beans right on the trager beside the tritip. I'll throw my recipe for that in the description below.  I am no burrito connoisseur of any kind. I don't pretend to be. So feel free to rip my California burrito. Ingredient selection or rolling skills to shreds here. I won't be offended, maybe a little bit, but it's okay. We're doing okay job here. Now you could, I just warmed these tortillas on a griddle before I assembled. But you could cut straight into them or crank the temperature up on your grill. Throw these back on the grill for maybe five minutes. You could also do this in a pan. I feel like it's really hard to mess up a burrito. Although maybe I've done it here. We'll see. I think this one has slightly different fillings and maybe sour cream, pickled onions, which may be a crazy filling. I don't know, you tell me. Now in Chef Tom's tritip tacos recipe I mentioned earlier, he had a great idea of throwing some cheese in between tortillas and grilling those right on the flat top. I believe he garnished with maybe a slice of avocado, some cilantro, diced onion, lime wedges maybe. I think on mine I went with diced avocado, a little bit of queso fresco, or cotilla cheese, and salsa matcha. And as a final idea for leftovers, throw some on top of chips and cheese in an air fryer for about five minutes, and you will be happy. As one of the worst food YouTubers out there, you can always count on me to do a terrible outro and kind of a bad intro usually too. But we're working on it. So if you made it this far, I just wanted to say I appreciate it. Liking and subscribing seems to be a popular recommendation from other YouTubers that seems to help to be determined if it helps me. Either way, I appreciate it. If you have any questions about this recipe, throw it in the comments down below and just a reminder, I'll throw a link to the full recipe.

So I just got out of therapy like I mentioned in my first video my therapy sessions are usually on Thursdays at 6 p.m So when I get out of therapy is usually dark outside. It's just the last video I had to reschedule so it was actually on Saturday early in the day Excuse the light in but it's just night time and I rather record these I rather record these videos right after my therapy session so I can just say everything when it's fresh on my head and Not end up going home. I'm getting distracted with the chair and all that this one is gonna be really short I just want to share one thing that I brought up in therapy today I was telling my therapist that I am trying not to fall back into bad habits You know and she was like why like what bad habit are you referring to and I'm saying this without giving too much context Because I ain't trying to put people business out in the streets Okay, but um, which is actually my business, but other people are involved So I'm not gonna say too much, but I was saying that I have this Habit where like I would give something my all like I would exhaust every option. I Would try and try and try and I'll just give it my 150% 200% but when I'm done I'm done completely done and I was just telling her that like I Remember like I could just close my eyes and I remember the day I woke up and I was completely done With my last relationship like done in the sense of I didn't even want to be there anymore Because I had done mentally leave, but I was done in the essence of like I don't even want to try anymore I don't want to even stay for the children anymore. Like I was just done I remember I woke up one day and I like I didn't even want to be in his presence I didn't want to see his face. I didn't want him to touch me I just I was just done and that's because like I had done exhaust everything I tried and I tried and I tried and I finally came to the point where like I just knew nothing would change things are getting worse and at this point like I just need a way out but given the situation even in that moment of Knowing and acknowledging and feeling that I was completely done. I felt so stuck I felt so alone because I was like here. I am completely done ready to leave and I have nowhere to go I was just telling her that I don't want to feel that again I took that as a negative feeling but she Pointed out to me that listen, that's why you're here because you had that feeling. That's a good thing That's not a bad habit. You was able to find your way out of that you was you saved yourself Like you did what you had to do to leave. Don't be scared of ever having that feeling Getting that feeling is you realizing that this no longer serves you. It's time to close this chapter It's time to move on. That's a good thing And I was like, you know, she's so right. That is very true. If I never had that feeling I wouldn't be here right now in that moment I realized that maybe with this current situation that I'm navigating is not that I'm scared of that feeling is not that I'm scared of Experiencing that feeling again. Maybe I'm just maybe I just don't want to feel like that with this situation But if it do come this is what she said. She said if if it does get to that point where you feel like you're done Again, that's not a bad thing. It just means that you came to the realization that this doesn't serve you Right now and it might not even mean like it doesn't serve you ever ever again in life But maybe it just doesn't serve you right now and I don't feel like that right now about this situation I don't I'm not there, but I was just telling her that I didn't want to get to that point After today, I realized that if I do get to that point I'm going to embrace it because it just means like she said that it doesn't serve me right now and Every night I pray that everything that no longer serve me can be revealed to me So that I could release it if this happens to be one of those things and I will just have to release it and Sometimes it's a painful experience Healing is painful if you don't feel everything you're feeling while you're healing then you're not truly healing It's been a long journey But I must admit that every time I have a therapy session and I come out with clarity It takes me three four five steps further in my healing journey Which is why I even decided to start this because therapy has been helping me so much That I really just want to encourage everybody to go to therapy Everybody man woman and child my son is in therapy my four-year-old Of course is not designed in the way that my therapy is because he's very young But he's in therapy and he's gonna grow up knowing that therapy is not something to be ashamed of or To be scared to go to because we all need it in some way shape or form I'm grateful for that clarity that I received today and going forward what I want to do instead of thinking about how something may end or how I want it to end or How I wanted to continue or not end whatever the case may be I'm just going to Every time I feel my mind Wondering off in that direction I'm just gonna reel it back in and focus on me because I do a lot during the day Like if I even tell y'all half the amount of stuff I did today and yesterday y'all would probably be like what? But I also make time for the people that I care about I expect that to be reciprocated Instead of focusing on all of that. I'm gonna focus on me and just focus on what I know I want to manifest my life to be and Continue working on that and I'm just gonna let everything else fall into place where they need to fall and Go from there and I'm just gonna embrace it. I'm gonna embrace it. I'm going to Even if it feels uncomfortable in the moment, even if it feels painful in the moment I'm gonna embrace it. I'm gonna allow me I'm gonna allow myself to feel all those emotions and then I'm gonna release it because if it's one thing My journey has taught me so far is that everything happens for a reason and I know that sounds so cliche But it does it literally does so That's it for this therapy Thursday. I know I didn't give too much context This time, but some days I'm gonna share a lot and some days. I'm not it's just depending on what I discuss and The level of it just depends on what I discuss You know, I'll decide how much I can share without putting other people business out because I share a lot, but there is really like There's a lot y'all know and there's a lot that you all me never know But I just go based on how I feel in the moment if I feel like oversharing in the moment I will but if I don't I'm gonna keep that personal and today what I discuss I'm gonna keep personal, but I did share pretty much my takeaway from this session and It was good. Anyways, that's it for this therapy Thursday If you are not in therapy, but have been thinking about going to therapy Let this be your sign to start Okay, to all my melanated women protect your womb by any means necessary and to everybody watching protect your peace By any means necessary. I wish you all love light and prosperity And you will see me in my next video You


The policy categorises radicalisation, signs of radicalisation as showing either vocal or active opposition to British values, to fundamental British values. Two of these British values are democracy and the rule of law. How these are interpreted, so if you actually question democracy and you're a Muslim, I am showing a sign of being radicalised. The fact is democracy is something we can debate and discuss and write lots of books about and it's not one thing or the other. The same thing with the rule of law. And to actually then define radicalisation as anyone who even gives vocal opposition to these is also in one fell swoop denying freedom of speech and freedom of thought. And as an educationalist, I am completely wedded to freedom of thought and speech. This is the vocation of my life. So there are many, many aspects of prevent that are problematic.
