Hello and welcome back to yet another GCSE revision lesson now within this lesson I'm going to be going over question number two in English language paper two. Okay, this question to be honest I want to show you hopefully at the end of this video. That's actually really straightforward and most importantly It's actually quite easy to gain seven if not eight marks in this question as long as you know What you're looking for and most importantly you were integrating your discussion for both extras Remember question one once you've answered that question, which is asking you to look at source a Were you selecting four statements that are true you're shading in in the multiple choice? Question number two then throws you into the deep end. It says okay great you've talked about source a that's out of the way now it's time to look at both sources and Summarize are they similar or different in whatever aspect the keywords ask you? Okay, however that shouldn't throw you off because number one You don't need to talk about technique great number two All you simply need to do is pick out one bit of evidence compare in source a and then kind of compare it with another bit Of evidence and source B talk about how the similar or different and if you're fast enough Maybe you can do this twice now. Let me show you guys the approach I would suggest step-by-step so there's simply just four steps need to bear in mind when answering this question And then I'll show you a model response and how I applied this method when answering a past paper two question for question number two Okay, remember firstly this question is worth eight marks So do not spend too long on this question spend a max of ten minutes on this question and it test your a one It tests your ability to firstly select the right bits of information okay, so just literally pick out the two bits of evidence from source a and source B and Also, you need to be able to what they call synthesize your evidence. That's just a fancy way of saying okay great I need to answer this question and show if is it similar or is it different? Am I able to take a good bit of evidence from source a good bit of evidence from source B talk about how they're either similar or different? Okay, don't let that whole idea of like oh, I've got a synthesize confuse you Okay, it's really really straightforward. That's step number one when answering question number two now the next step is Remember to highlight the keywords and the question so you are answering it correctly the summary question I either ask you to only look for similarities or Differences between the two sources remember when you're reading both sources in paper two There's going to be a theme that emerges it could be either theme of camping It could be a theme of sweets whatever right and then question number two ask you okay great You know what this theme is so think about when you think about what the writers are saying Can you find a similarity between keywords in the question or a difference? Select that and then you're now looking for the bits of evidence that either show how they're similar or different That's step number two then step number three when answering the summary question Try to go for a really obvious similarity or difference. I know this sounds kind of obvious But it isn't for some students sometimes some students say hang on I was reading the extracts both of them and both of them you know in terms of similarity the both were talking about sweets That's an obvious similarity if you're asked to look for similarities. Okay a difference could be okay I was reading both extracts one of them was talking about jaffa sweets another one was talking about fantail sweets That's a difference. Okay go for something that's super obvious. Don't over complicated That's too easy an obvious difference on obvious similarity make your life easy go for that similar or difference point That's really really obvious. Okay, so take the text. That's face value. That's step number three and finally step number four This is how you now bring it all together mistakes student made for question two in the language for two exam is they're like Okay, great. I've got my two bits of evidence from source a and source B Paragraph one I'm gonna talk about source a and then paragraph two I'm gonna talk about source B you need to compare you need to talk about them comparatively So you're integrating this in one paragraph or if you've got time you can do it in two paragraphs How'd you do it? What's the easiest way to do it? My preferred paragraph structure is the peel paragraph Okay, point evidence explanation link. This is how I would suggest you integrate both source a and source B Start off with the point talk about source a and source B refer back to the key words Whilst source a shows sweets in this way source B also shows sweets in this way Whatever the key word is asking is it similarity or is the difference you reinforce that in your opening Point and you're talking about both source a and source B That's your opening point then you find the bits of evidence, okay? So then again you embed your quotations source a shows me this about sweets source B shows me this about sweets Okay, you want embedding you're constantly talking about both sources throughout your paragraph Then second in your pill paragraph you are explaining here great thing about this question You don't need to talk about any techniques language or structure. Okay, you're simply summarizing are they similar or different? So you say whilst in source a we can see this in source B We can see that if it's different or in source a we can see this similarly in source B We can see that that's literally yet for the explanation and then of course when you're finishing off your paragraph You're linking it back to the question in the keywords to show the examiner You know what you're talking about so in your link you simply link it back to the question that therefore means in source Say this is happening. What's in source B? This is happening super straightforward to get some really really good marks in the summary questions And now what I'm going to do is show you guys how I'm going to apply this To a past paper model response question So let's apply the approach that I've suggested for the summary question to this particular paper Remember that this paper and the example I'm going to be giving you guys is taken from the June 2020 exam This exam is available to download for free on a QA's website therefore of course you can go ahead and download it and read the extracts and Of course if you want to practice after watching this video go ahead and do so I would really encourage you to do so now guys I'm going to be going over a worked response that I've already created But I'll show you piece by piece and step by step how you can integrate your analysis and of course write a Summary either of similarities or differences that come up in both sources remember that question number two is the first Comparative question you always of course as you know by this stage source a you get one source Which is modern so this is source a written in 1988 by the author Joe Simpson And it's called touching the void is an autobiographical account and source be which is a Victorian text called climbing the major in this case. It was written by a lady called Gertrude Bell in 1899 now I'm not going to read through the insert because you can do that in your own time when you download this paper But just a quick summary source a essentially describes Joe Simpson's really really painful his excruciating descent down the mountain okay, so he's descending down the mountain He's broken his leg and he's with somebody else who's helping him descend Okay, so he's with his fellow climber called Simon Yates Simon is basically kind of carrying him as he descends But Simon isn't that great in carrying him gently. Okay, so Simon is kind of Helping him down the mountain, but he still kind of makes mistakes Joe's legs snags on the side and so on so Joe really describes this horrible horrible experience of trying to descend the mountain And of course the end is quite climactic in the sense that we're kind of left on a cliffhanger Okay, we're not entirely sure whether they've actually managed to get down safely That's source a however source be which is similar in terms of the ideas that they explore Okay, so you've got Gertrude Bell unlike Simpson and Simon. Okay, so in source a they're both experienced climbers Gertrude Bell actually isn't an experienced climber. She's a Victorian climber But she's simply an explorer and so she needs the help of an accompanying person called Marius Okay, so she hires this local guide who accompanies her and he helps her climb the Meiji in the Alps Okay, so of course the similar theme in both texts is to do with climbing But whilst Joe has a broken leg He's really suffering and we're not entirely sure whether that he manages to get down safely with Simon in Source be we find that Gertrude when they set off quite in the darkness Okay, and of course we even given an image here of the Alps to help us when she sets off You know, it's really beautiful. It's this perfect night that she describes and Marius is a great guide Okay, so he really looks after he's quite gentle unlike Simon, okay So he is quite gentle helping a climb up the mountain and also he helps her descend and by the end And this is a letter that she's written to her friend Or relatives at home She basically says, you know, we had this amazing climb. It was really difficult But actually Marius really helped me and then I got back to my hotel and you know I had these nice cups of tea and I got back safely So unlike of course the ending of source a where there's still this sense of suspense We're not sure whether they get to the bottom in source B. There's this really really optimistic ending She's really proud of herself for climbing and scaling the Alps or the Meiji but with the help of Marius And as I mentioned, I'm not going to read through this I want to keep this lesson fairly brief But I just want to show you more Technique and approach when it comes to answering question number two if you want to read this you can read this in your own time Just literally download this paper from a QA's website the June 2020 paper So let's have a look at the summary question now as you can see I've highlighted several key words because that's going to guide My focus and as I mentioned when answering this eight marker Try to aim to write at least one comparative peel paragraph peel meaning point evidence explanation link But you are talking about both sources now if you can only manage in ten minutes to do just one paragraph Do the one paragraph and move on however what you're going to see in my example is I've written two paragraphs Of course in the ten minutes that therefore means I need to write two comparisons with five minutes per paragraph Okay, so let me show you how you can integrate to your analysis in your first Summary paragraph and how you can talk about both sources in your point both sources in your evidence both sources in your explanation and both sources in your link Now remember for this question you're asked You're told firstly that both writers are accompanied by another person on their adventures Simon in source a and Marius in source b Okay, so you're being asked in this question to look not actually at the writers But the people that are with them in the extracts and then you're told to use details from both sources to write a Summary of what you understand about the differences who are being asked to focus in on the differences between the two companions Simon and Marius Now of course what I did is I selected the first difference I took one bit of evidence from source a a bit of evidence from source B And then I did that again So then I took another bit of evidence from source a and source B to emphasize these differences Okay, so here's my first pill paragraph This is how you compare and write a perfect summary paragraph for question number two. So start off with my point Firstly, it's evident that Simon sees Joe as his equal and he's just as qualified as him yet Marius is subservient to Gertrude and he's far more experienced in Climbing subservient means he's a servant. He's helping He's lower ranking than her because of course is Gertrude that hires Marius whilst Simon and Joe They are equals, okay They're just climbing the mountain together and it just so happens that Joe breaks his leg This is my opening point when basically talking about how whilst Simon is The is just as qualified as Joe as a climber Marius actually is far more qualified than Gertrude But he is subservient to her because it's not her friend. He actually is working for her That's my opening point and as you can see I've integrated both source a and source B now Here's my evidence and of course I'm making it clear that I'm talking about clear differences between the two companions Simon and Marius So here's my evidence While Simon is in a partnership Marius is hired I've taken just two bits of one word Quotes from source a and source B and embedded them. Here's my explanation it is evident that Simon seems to view his fellow climber as a Partner and he treats him more casually than Marius. I'm saying here's what Simon believes in source a versus Marius in source B Nevertheless Marius evidently does not see Gertrude as experienced enough so he helps her yet He is aware of her power as his employer. That's my explanation I'm constantly integrating my discussion of both source a and source B consistently I'll start off with my point talking about source a and source B I've added two bits of evidence one from source a and one from source B now I've then zoomed in on how this is illustrating Differences between the two companions in source a and source B now finish off by linking in my pill paragraph Thus whilst Simon is just as qualified as Joe and he views him as his equal Marius is more experienced and Gertrude And he is subservient to her. That's my opening point Okay, we'll rather my opening paragraph again if you only have enough time to do this in 10 minutes Have one chunky comparison paragraph then be vault question number three. Okay, because this is worth just eight marks So you don't know was spent too long on this question and then steal that time away from the big marker questions However, if you've got time you can do a second pill paragraph if you're rapid enough in writing this and say around five minutes So here's the second peel paragraph. So this is my opening point talking about additional differences In addition, it's clear that Simon seems far more playful than Marius indeed Marius seems serious and Cautious that's my second point. Here's my evidence from both sources Simon speaks cheerfully yet Marius is perfectly fearful again I've used evidence cheerfully from source a and perfectly fearful from source B now Here's my explanation for both sources There's a vast difference in the attitudes they adopt towards mountain climbing Simon takes a jovial approach Joville means happy to climbing and descending the mountain However, Marius seems far more somber which means serious and measured on the mountain That's my explanation talking about why they are different as you can see I don't mention any language and technique and either my paragraph because this is simply a summary question Okay, in your explanation, you don't need to add any techniques You just simply say here's a difference between both of them now Here's my link consequently whilst Simon seems to be a playful companion Marius is a serious mountainous So here again, I've highlighted why they are different what I'm going to do is I'm going to read through both Comparison paragraphs one last time just in case you missed anything but pay attention to the fact that I'm literally using the pill paragraph structure And at each stage in my pill paragraph, I talk about both sources Consistently your comparison must always be integrated into the same paragraph. So here's my first paragraph one last time Firstly, it's evident that Simon sees Joe as an equal and he is just as qualified as him Yet Marius is subservient to Gertrude and he's far more experienced in climbing While Simon is in a partnership Marius is hired It's evident that Simon seems to view his fellow climber as a partner and he treats him more casually than Marius Nevertheless Marius evidently does not see Gertrude as experienced enough. So he helps her yet He is aware of her power as his employer thus whilst Simon is just as qualified as Joe And if used him as an equal Marius is more experienced than Gertrude and he is subservient to her in addition It's clear that Simon seems far more playful than Marius indeed Marius seems serious and cautious Simon speaks cheerfully Yet Marius is perfectly fearful. There's a vast difference in the attitudes. They adopt towards mountain climbing Simon takes a jovial approach to climbing and descending the mountain However, Marius seems far more somber and measured on the mountain consequently whilst Simon seems to be a playful companion Marius is a serious mountaineer And that's really how to approach the summary question for question number two


Hey, hey, hey, you guys another chit chat. How y'all doing? Look, this is, y'all, I don't really show my body a lot. This is me, girl. This is what I'm working with. This is me. Uh-oh.  So, that's what she working with. This is me at 42, about to be 43. Girl, it's a jazz sound. All right. All right, y'all, it's another chit chat. And this chit chat, I got a lot to talk about.  All right, you guys, I had to get situated because I'm actually recording two videos in one. Girl, I took, y'all gotta be careful with these supplements sometimes. I've been complaining to my husband every now and then that I'm cold. I'm always cold. And so he's like, you need to take some iron pills. I'm like, you're right, you're right, I'm doing. So I bought some iron and I make sure it was vegan and all this other stuff. Girl, I, as soon as I took it, my whole tongue started getting all nibbly and I had a little reaction. Like it didn't hurt, but it was itchy. And my chin is still a little itchy. So I checked the bottle again because I am allergic to shellfish. I don't get really adverse reactions besides itchiness and stuff like that. And so I checked the container and it was nothing that my husband did say sometime if it's a high concentrated, if your body's not used to it. You can buy my, I don't want that again because I took it two hours ago and I'm still a little itchy and sure enough. Yeah, so anyway, you guys, this is another chitchat. Y'all know how we do this. I talk about what's going on in my personal life. I'm talking about what I'm looking at on YouTube and I'm talking about what I watch on TV. Now, girl, yeah, y'all, we're going to talk about it. We're going to talk about her. So personal life child, JB is turning 10 tomorrow. I cannot believe it, you guys. That means I have officially been on YouTube for over 10 years because I remember when I came on and showed y'all my little belly, little belly. And that was, you know, 10 years ago. And so my parents were up here this past weekend because they wanted to, you know, come for his birthday. I made JB a little cake. We sang happy birthday to him, oh my baby. And so, yeah, we're excited about that. Then yesterday evening, I get a text message from his little teacher. Basically saying, hi, we were hoping that JB's behavior would get better, but we're noticing that he is still doing a lot of talking of being very disruptive. So I've gotten a couple of messages on like a little like notepad. Hey, yay to the class clown. I spoke to JB about that as soon as I saw it. But his one, let me back up.  And so I was going back and forth with her and let her know that I'm gonna speak to him. Like this is not cool. Cause she's even saying, when I ask him to stop, he'll stop and literally 30 seconds later, he's back into it. Look, when JB, look, typically my husband goes and pick him up, but I rolled with him yesterday to pick him up and I was hiding in the back with my hoodie on. Like I'm working for ops or something or, you know, I'm working for the cartel. I'm there, I was ready. I was, I jumped out and was like, huh, hey. So I let him know like, look, this is not acceptable. You are there to learn. We paying $10,000 a year for you to go up there and be freaking Eddie Murphy.  You're not there to entertain people and make people laugh. So punish him, take his stuff away. He was upset. He was crying, crying hard. And like the teacher know that I'm gonna be busting up in there, pop up shop, pop up mama. I'm just gonna be showing up at any time. When I dropped him off, yeah, I'm that mama. When I dropped him off, I waited in the car for 10 minutes and went back in there. I was like, hey, what's up?  And so the two, him and his other little friend, the ones that are being disrupted, I looked at both of them. I said, look, y'all need to get it together. Y'all need to get it together. You're not here too. There's a timing place for everything. You don't need to be in here JB to be doing this. And the other little boy was starting to laugh. I said, you know what? I've seen your daddy belt buckle. I could tell he done play. When I tell y'all, y'all his face changed is the teacher started laughing. His face changed so fast. And so the teacher said, she's like, yep, I had a conversation with his mother. She's so, long story short, the teacher had to move them, separate them, getting on JB, let him know that you can't do that.    What else, what else, what else? So in the midst of all of this, I am very curious to know what you guys think about the melanin hair care deep conditioner because I think I may purchase it and review it. It's a little pricey, but I'm willing to do it. I'm willing to buy it and see what it hide is. I've heard some mixed reviews, so I'm very curious to see how it will react on my hair. I will say, I do absolutely do like her styling product, but for me, it works better if I layer it. You know what I mean? And it did last me a fairly long time, but again, it's just one of those products that works better if you layer it with other products. And I'm not so sure if I want to keep investing in a product that costly, knowing that I have to still add another product to get the results that I'm looking for. I'm just being honest. I love Whitney. I love that she shared my pictures. Girl, what is that? It's my bad. Hold on, y'all. Anyway, like I said, I love Whitney. I love that she has shared any time I have made a video or anything and she has been gracious enough to share my pictures or videos on her platform and I do appreciate that. So yeah, I think I made by the deep conditioner. Girl, let's get into it. Yeah. Child, black folks is like, not on my watch. Procter and Gamble has acquired meal organics. We shouldn't even call them meal organics because didn't they drop organics a couple of years ago? I think it's been. So those you don't know, it's really not gonna faze me now. I know a couple of people like, well, let me go ahead and stock up on some stuff before they change it. Yes, please do. I stopped supporting meal back when the incident happened. With Linda Lynn, you guys know Linda had a done a review and it wasn't in the liking that the owners appreciate it. So I'm gonna say supposedly to protect myself. Supposedly her husband Melvin contacted Linda and was in a very threatening manner, excuse me. However, even besides that, I myself have seen messages, not necessarily messages, I've seen posts from the wife Monique that is very nice nasty, nice Southern Baptist Christian nasty type of girl, just say what you wanna say. Don't be very passive-aggressive. So I'm not a fan of theirs. And so I stopped supporting them just like I stopped supporting Shane Marster years ago. People like Eminem, Melvin, it's business, okay. And so, and I'm gonna say this and it is what it is.  I'm gonna say that too. So it gets to a certain level in your business from what I understand. Look, I don't know everything about everything, but when I understand, it gets to a certain level as a business owner where you have to get help.   The formula will change. And actually, I think some things have been changing anyway over the course of years, which is why they had, they took organics out of the title. Yeah, the formula has been changing, but it would definitely change again to not only be inclusive, but also so that Procter and Gamble can cover their butts. And so we want to make sure that we are using the most, I'm gonna use the word affordable. The most affordable ingredients, products, whatever for the product so we can get the most profit out of this. Does that make sense? It is heartbreaking to know that you have another black owned company that is following into the footsteps of Curl's daughter and Shady Marster and Jane Carter, unfortunately, where they're no longer a black owned. But again, this is business. But like I said, it is because at the end of the day black people are the number one consumer. Overall, we are the number one consumer in the United States even though we make up less than 12% of the population if I remember correctly. Black women, especially women, make up 83% of the buying market when it comes to consumers. Black women, I think it was something like, black women, we're talking about billions of dollars, billions of dollars we spend a year just on beauty. So Procter and Gemma was like, yeah, Monique and Melvin, we'll help y'all out. Of course we will. That is a way for them to build generational wealth. That is a way for them to step back and breathe a minute. Yes, it's gonna change. Yes, the formula's gonna change. Yes, there's gonna be more products coming out at a steadily or more increase. But maybe now Monique will be able to ship some of those stuff out for y'all. I said I wouldn't be petty, but hell, I don't care. You will be getting your shitless now on time.  So that's the good side, that's the bright side, right? But like I said, y'all, this is business.  I think Design Extensions is still black-owned. This is my thing. There are several products that I use that are not black-owned and I've gotten to the point to where I am more, I am more so concerned about the integrity of the company more so if it's black-owned. If it's black-owned, that's a double win for me. Does that make sense? Because you have a company like Miel, which they've known to bully people online. They're black-owned and should I support them just because they're black-owned? No, because they've had some nasty attitudes of how they treated their own people, just people in general. So it's a no for me. So yeah, girl, y'all fit to be tired about it.  What else they got? Go ahead and get your, y'all forgot the name of the products, but give what you can, girl. Stock up now while you can. It's not funny. It's business. All they see is the color green at the end of the day. It's business. Congratulations to Eminem. They just set their next generations of their family up for life at the end of the day. Just don't, I don't know what it is to say, y'all. I don't know what else to say about that. It'll be, you know, like I said, if you still want to follow, I think that TGIN is still black-owned. I think so, but you never know. You never know. So all right, you guys, let's go on and talk about why I've been watching on YouTube. You guys, my guilty pleasure is Kendra G. And so what has she is, to a certain degree, I think that she is fair in her platform. And so what happens is that she has singles to call her up because they're looking for love. And what you do is you give your, you know, you give your stats to let them know what you're looking for.  It's just like the, remember back in the day where you had, well, they had it in the newspapers. Oh my God, I'm aging myself. They were looking for love in the newspapers and then they went to Craigslist. And now you can do it on Kendra G's YouTube channel. So anyway, girl. So she'll have men and women call her, her channel, call in or whatever, and you drop what you want, what you, you drop who you are, what you're looking for, you know, what you're wanting, not really wanting these, what are your, what does she call it?  And that's how people can contact you, potential people. Chow, let me tell you something. My husband, we better make this work out. Like you could not pay me enough to be in a single life in 2022 and anytime past the year 2000, you could not pay me to be single.  Um, oh my God, a couple of drug dealers, no, they drug, they're drug dealers calling in. Chow, one woman, I had to watch this one like two or three times. She was basically like, Kendra, first of all, she's on cam like this, cause she had, she's on cam like this. This is, this is her, this is her, um, her weed. And she's like this. And Kendra's like, can you get in a bed of lightning?  She's like, can you get in a bed of lightning? Basically this woman has a crazy ex-husband. She's looking for someone who has a million dollars in assets because she does, because she brought up Brooklyn, went back in the 90s. So it's easy Kendra, and what she said, it's easy. Her kids are grown. She doesn't want to have sex at all, but you need to have a million dollars in assets, but she doesn't want to have sex at all. And by the way, she's currently having sex with a married man. You can't, Chow, I was like, oh my God. You got some women, I'm gonna go, they probably had some women that call in and they're like, yeah, I'm looking for a man that makes this amount of money. And look, there's nothing wrong with having expectations, you guys. It really is. But you gotta be realistic with yourself. All I know is that the pick is a slam out here. For both men and women, you would not, I can't do it. Oh, then she has all types of people.  She had a men and woman coming on, looking for another girlfriend. I'm like, oh, is this real? Like I feel like I'm living in another, you know what, Earth is ghetto. That's all I have to say. It's just a ghetto landfill, a fullery. So yeah, Kendra, y'all, that's my guilty pleasure. Jim Naturals, apparently, there are a couple of YouTubers who are, they're saying it.  So Jim Naturals, I believe, I didn't watch all of her videos. She's still one young lady. She's very, very talented in her editing. She did a couple of videos where she did a split screen and it basically showed her and another character which is basically her herself.  I didn't realize she was editing. Her editing skills are all point. But anyway, she is supposedly leaving YouTube. I really didn't watch a lot of her videos. Well, when I did, I tried to tune in, you know? I'm gonna miss her because she was very, very goofy and I like her content. Apparently she's an actress and so she's very talented, like I said. Moe Eaton Show, now Moe is a mukbanger and I like her mukbang videos when she was very active because she's a clean and neat mukbanger. She uses a napkin if she covers up her mouth. Yeah, my nails, I have to do my nails on her, but anyway. So she's been doing videos lately toward now she's living in her van. Now she vaguely said in one of her videos that she got into a little, I guess she has some family dynamics going on. And so I don't think I could be wrong. I don't think Moe is that young.  But I think that Sister Woman is over 30. If this is something that she wants to do and the one video I did see, she said that it was something that she'd been thinking about for a while. And so more power to her, I would be so paranoid to do that. I just, I would just be paranoid because to me it just seems like it would be unsafe for anybody, let alone a woman. But I'm gonna check her out. You guys check her out. Her name is Moe Eaton Channel. It should be interesting to see how this goes. I wonder what happened to Van Girl, y'all? You know what? I'm gonna be very honest. Remember yet? Remember that you guys? It's been like, I think it was like before COVID, there was this really popular young black girl. And it wasn't a van. I don't think that she is, girl get your tin foil hats on. I think that she's someone that YouTube put out there to do that.  And let's buy her a van and make some money. I don't know y'all, you did that. Is that a bit of a stretch? Girl, maybe a bit of a stretch. All right, so y'all, what I'm watching on TV and movies. So we are watching, well, we finished this series. I think it's on Paramount called 1922. It has Helen Marion and freaking Harrison Ford. I'm like thinking, I was looking at him. I'm like, do they got, do he have on makeup? What's going on? And my daddy was like, nah, he just old. I love old people. My daddy was like, nah, he's just old. I'm like, oh, okay. I thought it was makeup. You know how he can wear makeup to make you look old. He's like, nah, he just old. I said, oh, okay, then he just old. But anyway, called 1922 and it is, I guess the sequel to 1893 or 18 something, which my husband loves Westerners and stuff like that. So I was watching that with him child. And then I watch, I don't know why I read watch Hannibal. And look, did you guys know, of course, a lot of these movies like Silence of the Lambs was based off of a book, excuse me. But, and so it was Hannibal. Hannibal was based off of a book too, but how the book is totally different from the movie in Hannibal. If you remember Hannibal, how he ended up, she ended up finding him and instantly he came back, disclaimer, he came back with Julianne Moore and seduced her. He started eating radioed his brain. I know, I know, I know it's disgusting to start eating radioed his brain, but in the book, it doesn't end like that. In the book, Clarisse and Hannibal Lecter travel the world and like become lovers. When I say what, I'm gonna have to get the book and read it. I have a lot of books that I purchased and I plan on reading a lot more of you guys for this year, just because I started to do that last year just reading a lot more in general. And I'm gonna keep that up. Isn't that crazy? Did you imagine if the movie ended like that? Child, no, boo, mm-mm. So another one I saw is The Good Nurse, which is based on a true story. And of course, I don't know the people, I never know the people's names, but it starts that girl from Molly's game, the red head, she also played in The Help. Y'all know her, she's so cute. And the girl guy from Danish, Danish girl, it is a really good movie. It's called The Good Nurse for the nursing good child, the nursing good. Debtly illusions is another good one. I'm starting to rewatch Good Girls, don't ask me why, don't ask me. So this is the thing, y'all, I have another spin on why Good Girls was possibly canceled. I do. They had a lot of chemistry, like Christina and Manny. It was so, there was something there, she tried to say, or I saw a blog or something that said that he kept sniffing her hair. Stop it, Christina, stop it. What if, what if something did happen? Like, what if something did happen and somebody got a little teagol. I even heard something about like, his wife was a little mess on the set cause she played in one episode. She made like a cameo in one episode. She doesn't come off like that, but who knows? I don't know her, she could, you know, but long story short, the entire cast had agreed to take a pay cut and Manny was like, not me boss, I'm not doing it. I'm the show. And honestly, he didn't make the show. Netflix wasn't willing to pick it up. And so it ended after three seasons. No, four, three or four, it was supposed to go on for four seasons. They decided to bring 1899 back. I won't be having Jonas. So I'm gonna have to watch Dark again, confusing that show. Some shows I have, Oh girl, another one I watched because it has Clive Owen. I love me. Look, Clive Owen ain't the cutest man in the world.  He just does Clive Owen with Chloe. And of course it also has Julianne Moore and Jude Laws weird as, I think Jude Law is weird as hell. I'm sorry, I really do. So Chloe is sexy, is good, is for adults you can't watch with your babies around, but it's cool. I like it. It's on Netflix. What I have on my list to watch. Look, I tried to watch you y'all, Kaleidoscope. First of all, when they told you that, oh, you can watch this in different, you can watch this out of order. There's different clues.  I can't handle it. I don't need for stuff to go out. I need to be in order. I don't need to know the colors.  What's going on? So let me know. Have you guys seen it? You like it? Y'all watch it? Am I being extra? I probably am, but let me know y'all. What I have on my list to watch is New Amsterdam, Woman of the Dead and Copenhagen Cowboy. So that's what I have. All right, you guys. I'm getting to a wrap. Let me know what y'all thought. Let me know how y'all got to think about this meal. You agree with me? Is business is business? You want support in the asses anyway? You didn't have to say all that, but you can. Just let me, I'm sorry. I said in 2023, I would be a better person. We working on it. So that is it you guys. Thank you so much for watching and thank you as always to all of my subscribers. Take care, bye.


Hi, this is Dr. Don. I have a problem out of Chapter 9 on correlation and regression. And in the problem, we're given some data. We're given the weight of some vehicles, the x variable. We're given the variability and breaking distance, the y variable. And we're asked to see, is there a correlation between vehicle weight and variability? Remember when we were doing correlation, in essence, we're plotting the x's and the y's. We're seeing if there's a slope. Is there a slope that is different from zero? And that is what the hypothesis test is in this case. The slope row is assumed to be zero for the null hypothesis, which is always the no difference here. Nothing happening here, alternative. And the alternative is, in this case, it is not equal to zero. There is something happening here. There is a linear relationship between the weight of the vehicle and the breaking distance, y. Now we can do this using StatCrunch, and I have a video that shows you how to do that. But I'm going to show you how to do it using Excel. And we need to do it in a way so we learn some information. They want us to use the rejection area method, so we need to get the critical values of t in this case. And it is a two-tail test because we've got not equal to zero. We just want to know, is there a slope? Is there a positive slope, or is there a negative slope statistically? Doesn't matter to us. We just want to know if there's a slope. So the critical values are two-tail, a minus, and a plus. We need to get the test statistic, which is a t, and then we need to make a conclusion. I want to show you how to do that using Excel. Remember up here on the little blue rectangle, we can open in StatCrunch, open in, copy the clipboard, open Excel. I like to copy the clipboard, it makes me easier to manipulate things. So I'm going to do that now, and open up Excel. Okay, I've got Excel open, and I've pasted the data over here in columns f and g, the weight, and the variability in the distance, or the distance y. I've added a little bit of information there so that I can go ahead and knock out the critical values. We need the alpha value, which is .05 in this case. The count, which is the number of pairs, and I've used the Excel function count in this column, is six, and the degrees of freedom for this test is just the number of pairs minus two, which would be four. And then we get the critical value of t to tail using the t.inverse to tail for the number of degrees of freedom, and the alpha, and that gives us 2.7764, which is the value that they went over here. Remember it's two tails, so it's plus and minus. Now we want to find out if the slope is different from zero. And we're going to use the data analysis tool pack, which is built into almost all versions of Excel, including the most recent versions of Excel for the Mac. And we just go up and we click on data. Okay, I'm going to up the data analysis, click on data analysis, and open up this dialog box, find the regression tool, click okay, and it gives me this dialog. I need to get the y range, I'm going to click there inside the box, I get the blinking cursor, these are my y values, and then you're going to see a lot of students make mistakes in reversing these. I'm going to click in the x range, get that blinking cursor, and then select my x values, make sure they match, you've got an even number of y values and x variables. We have labels in the first cell. I want to get a confidence interval, and it's 5% alpha, which is 95% confidence interval. My output range, I'm going to click in there, and I'm just going to move this out of the way and select J1 to where I put my output, and ignore the rest of this for right now, and click okay. And so we've got our output here, and you can expand these a little bit to read them a little bit better. We look here, we've got our multiple R, which is our correlation coefficient, which is 0.603, in case you need that. We're going to ignore the rest of this right now, since we just have a simple regression, and we look down here to the coefficients. We've got the intercept and the weight, which is the slope that we're interested in. We look across here, I'm going to expand this a little bit. We don't need this information on the confidence intervals. We're just going to look at the T statistic for our coefficient for the slope, which is the weight in this case, is 1.514, which is the value they went over here. We've got a P value for the slope of 0.204, which is greater than the alpha of 0.05, so that tells us the slope is not statistically significant. And what we can check, we've got our T statistic of 1.514, and that is not greater than the absolute value of the critical value of 2.77. So again, that tells us we do not reject, we fail to reject. There's not enough evidence at the 5% level to conclude there is a significant linear correlation. So I hope this helps.


This is a member highlight for 21 Reasons and I'm here with its program manager, Joanne Morrissey, to talk about a community conversation that's coming up that you and the City of Portland are hosting. Do you want to tell us a little bit about it? Oh, I'd love to. Thank you, first of all, for having us on your show this evening. 21 Reasons, a community-based coalition whose mission is to have installed policies and practices within the city that promote the drug-free development of our youth. And on our coalition is the City of Portland's Department of Health and Human Services Substance Abuse Prevention. And we together are hosting a community forum on a conversation around marijuana and its effects on our youth. Now, will you be discussing the laws that are in place right now and the legislation that's going across the country and affecting different states? Or is it very local, what you're talking about, or how broad is this topic? That's a really good question, Tom. So what we really wanted to focus on is not necessarily a pro and con debate, but have an open and honest dialogue around the policies that are coming down the pipeline or that are happening in other states and some of the policies that have been put forth for us here in the state of Maine. And talk together about our mutual concerns about the safety and well-being of our friends and our youth. So since it's a community conversation, are you looking to represent on that panel a wide variety of points of view? We absolutely have invited panelists from all sides of this issue. On our panel will be Portland Police Chief Michael Soschuck, State Representative Diane Russell, as well as a Representative of Maine State, Sam Maine, Scott Gengongi, as well as the Graney Dunn from the ACLU and someone who can speak about the effects on youth in our community, unlike Freisinger from Youth Moves. Okay, great. And so this panel discussion, are people going to take turns speaking or will there be a moderator? How about that part of the evening go? Well, thank you. We are actually trying to bring this to a very sophisticated level. We have Shannon Moss as our moderator and she will be posing some questions that we are securing both from our panelists as well as our steering committee and our coalition members on what we want to bring to front and discuss on this very important and timely issue. Would you give us some examples of some of the questions that Shannon might be asking the panelists? What we really want to do is bring to for some of the conversation around the effects and the unintended consequences that this conversation has been having on our youth and what we can all do to come together to help promote our drug for youth. Now, who do you encourage to come and watch this panel discussion as a select group or is it totally open to the public and totally open to any sides? Absolutely. Well, this is considered a wide community conversation and we have invited people from all sectors. Hopefully what we will have is a wide representation in our audience from adults throughout our community, parents, guardians, youth, people who work with youth as well as concerned citizens participate in this conversation. Oh, to participate. So will they have an opportunity to ask questions and get feedback from the panelists? So we do have pre-questions that we've been researching out that we would like to bring to front but we are also having a forum where we can pose questions of the panelists and get our own answers and sort of explore this for ourselves. Now, just in case we've already talked about it but just to emphasize it, where, when, how. Absolutely. So we're having this community conversation at the Rhine's Auditorium on Wednesday evening, doors at six o'clock. Wednesday, that's March 19th and the panel discussion will start at 6.30 and we're hoping to wrap things up by 7.30 and hopefully and luckily, but for us it will be taped by CTN 5 and we can make copies of that video available and maybe even perhaps have it viewed on CTN 5. Of course, absolutely. It's if people want to get more information about this or anything else that you do, do you have a website you can refer them to? We do. Our website is www.21reasons.org. Okay, great. Well, good luck with the forum and thank you for joining us. Thank you for having me.


Thank you very much. An actress once told me that the worst part you could possibly have is one in which you introduced the President of the United States, because nobody really cares anything about what you have to say.  Now when that leading man happens to be your husband, you take that advice. So, ladies and gentlemen, I would like you to introduce to you the leading man in my life and the leading man in the country, the President of the United States. Thank you. Thank you all and good evening to you all. Thanks for regards, of course, to Roger, Christine and their family. Roger, you were thrilled almost 40 years ago when The New York Times gave you a good review to your first Broadway production. By the way, I can understand that. Since taking this job, I found out just how hard it is to get a good review from The New York Times. All right, but tonight, Roger, we're giving your entire life a review, and it's a rave. Born in Detroit, educated at Schott, Roger's schooling ended with the advent of the depression. He spent five years at odd jobs. He pumped gas, he worked on the assembly line in a Ford factory, he spent six months in real estate and earned not a penny, and some say he kept himself in pocket with money mainly by playing blackjack and poker. Then in 1934, Roger sensed that certain old apartment buildings were undervalued. He put money into them and launched his first brilliant career in real estate. Soon he had holdings across the country, Detroit, New York, Seattle. During the war, he spent two years at a naval air station in Florida and took the opportunity to look into Florida real estate. When the war ended, he and his colleagues bought three hotels in Florida and one in South Carolina. By the mid-1950s, Roger's holdings qualified him as a tycoon, a magnet, a hard-driving real estate giant, but not his manner. No, there was a sense of humility and gentleness about him and always a sense of fun. In the words of a banker who worked with Roger in those days, I'll quote, business is a game to him. He makes it fun for you, too, because in dealing with him, you never have to concern yourself about what you'll get out of it. As a matter of fact, you sometimes wonder if he's keeping track of how he'll come out himself, end quote. But it's significant that when Roger engineered the purchase of the Empire State Building, the room he selected for his office, there in what was then the tallest, most glamorous building on Earth, the room that Roger selected for his office, was a cubby hole that used to belong to a window washer. Roger kept his files and cardboard boxes scattered around the floor. But as I said, real estate was only the first of Roger's brilliant careers. His second as a New York theatrical producer got started in 1949 when Roger stayed Shakespeare's 12th Night. The show ran for 48 performances, and Roger lost just a little less than $1,000 on each. But it was from up from there, up and up and up. In the 50s and early 60s, Roger had as many as eight shows on Broadway a year. He produced playwrights from around the world. The Frenchman G. Rodoux, the Swiss playwright Durand Met, the Welsh poet Dylan Thomas, and the Englishman Schaefer, Bolt and Pinter. He, yet it's for his contributions to American theater that Roger should perhaps be most honored. This is the man who produced Bus Stop by William Inge, Tea and Sympathy by Robert Anderson, and Cat and a Hot Tin Roof by Tennessee Williams.  Backed the idea even after another producer pulled out. And after three decades, the mere mention of that show still has the power to thrill. It was called West Side Story. By the way, through much of this period, Roger remained an active player in the real estate market. There's a story about a theatrical producer who needed to speak to Roger about a leading lady. When he was told that Roger was in a bankers meeting about a multimillion dollar loan for a construction project, the director explained how can anybody bother with a hole in the ground when we're casting. But there's still a third brilliant career to speak of. For it was, as has been said here already tonight, in 1961, that President Kennedy asked Roger to see what he could do about founding a National Center for the Arts here in Washington. And I might add that we Republicans were especially happy to see Roger take on the assignment. You see, it cut into the time we'd been using to raise money for the Democrats. But in Roger's own words, in Roger's words, I thought it was a shame that the world's richest nation did not have a decent place for the performing arts. I thought I'd put it together in three or four years and go back to New York. But it took 10 years to get the darn thing built and then somebody had to run it. So there I was. Well, today the Kennedy Center represents one of our nation's premier cultural institutions. And more than 20 years later, Roger, there you still are. Now, Roger, if I may, I'd like to ask you to join me here at the podium. Roger Stevens, on behalf of a grateful nation, I present to you this nation's highest civilian honor, the Medal of Freedom. And now permit me to read the citation. A quarter of the time, I have big hits. A quarter of the time, artistic successes. A quarter of the time, the critics were crazy. And a quarter of the time, I'm crazy. It figures out pretty well that way. That humble assessment is by Roger L. Stevens, chairman of the John F. Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts, real estate giant, chairman of the First National Council on the Arts, and producer or co-producer of more than 200 plays, including such American classics cat on a hot tin roof and West Side Story. Roger Stevens may be humble, but his achievements have enriched our nation's culture beyond measure. Congratulations, Roger. Thank you. And God bless you. I'm just going to be able to hear it. I'll make it short. Mr. President, I'm deeply honored at receiving such an award. It sort of boggles the mind and makes you feel most humble. Besides that, it's so beautiful. I've never seen anything quite like it before. I will say just a few words because of the fact that I think there's been an oversupply of Roger Stevens around here for the last 30 or 40 minutes. And any more of it would be superfluous. But I would like to say just a couple of things. And as I've listened about how well everything works tonight, there was a time in the first year or so of the work on the then National Cultural Center that we weren't getting anywhere. And I went to President Kennedy and I said, it's a president, I'm doing a bad job and you better get someone else. And with his usual charm, he said, no, Roger, he says, I know you've got the toughest money raising job in the country. I will help you in every way, just keep doing it. So when the President of the United States says something like that, you have to keep on doing it. You can see where we ended up. But the one point I wanted to make is that during this period of time, there have been a half a dozen presidents, six who I've served under. And I think as much as there are differences might have been politically at one time. The one thing they've all agreed on is helping at Kennedy Center. And any time we were in trouble, which was frequently, we could go to the White House and get that kind of support. And Mr. President, I know you've frequently talked about the private sector, I think you may not have realized that during your years here, you've been very cooperative and been the star of the gallows, in which there's a star among stars. And in those White House receptions, which I felt there was just a bit of enjoyment on your part, which was rather nice. And you've brought the gallows as a result of your sort of cooperation and help have gotten to be very successful and brought the reputation of the center up a great deal. So I thought I might interest you also in knowing your desires to see the private sector work. The shows were all right. I mean, George Stevens and Nick Banoff did a marvelous job every year, but the private sector comes through with a great deal of money. And that is what I heard you say that you wanted was to see that the private sector got in with government projects so that there was that sense of help. And I must say that the center itself has just reaped great harvest of goodwill and money as a result of your help and Mrs. Reagan's cooperation. And there's, as I say, I'm simply delighted that I had the honor of receiving that beautiful medal from you. Mr. and Mrs. Reagan, thank you very much for coming and ladies and gentlemen, would you please wait until the president, Mrs. Reagan, have left and then you're in.


I'm Pat Walsh. I'm a debtor of privacy for the GSMA, which is a global trade body for 800 mobile phone operators around the world. The session I was in was on privacy, protecting citizens' privacy in the connected world. I suppose some of the key takeaways for me, it was a very interactive session, and I very much enjoyed the fact that policymakers were asking for help to understand what kind of policy instruments they could use in a mobile connected world, for example, to help address consumer privacy and citizens' privacy. So that's, for me, the most positive aspect of that. I think there was a good general discussion about how complicated it is for people today to understand privacy, to understand how to protect their privacy, the choices available to them. And there was a deep discussion about whether or not privacy has gone. People have lost privacy. I personally don't believe they have. I personally believe that industry can come together and can create good privacy experiences for individuals, can agree on appropriate standards and codes that should apply. And I think also there was a good debate on the fact that technology not only can empower and transform people's lives, but we're at a point where data can also transform and empower people and communities, and that data can meet many pressing public policy needs, such as, for example, reducing traffic or managing traffic more intelligently in urban environments, both to reduce air pollution and noise pollution, or like in Haiti where mobile phone records were used to understand where people had moved to after the earthquake so that you could target them with humanitarian aid. And that was a good demonstration about how data can be used to save people's lives and that it's not just always about what DVD or video I watched online. So for me, a very positive and constructive session.
