It's just a great blessing to be able to celebrate with you to be here at this weekend at this time. God is good, amen? So we've all heard the story. It's been spoken about several times over the last 48 hours about the Pentecost experience. We've talked about that that has to be our reality as well. And it's such a great image that nobody knows exactly what it looked like, but I love reflecting and imagining what it must have been like. I've had an opportunity a number of times to be in the upper room and just to kind of stand there and say, what took place here, right? But the reality is what took place there can take place in any room, in any auditorium, in any church, in any bedroom, in any tent, anywhere across the world. The Lord isn't ultimately looking just for a room. He's looking for a human heart, right? That He wants to stir in that human heart by the power of the Holy Spirit, amen? And we hear in this story, obviously, the people from every nation, and that's represented here. We have people here from Ohio, Pittsburgh, New York, Buffalo, even Cleveland, right? Even Cleveland. Lord brings people from everywhere together to be able to speak one voice and to be able to come together in a God and a power of the Spirit that wants to, and we've heard this multiple times, John was speaking about it this morning, to be able to send us out, right? That He's got a mission for us, for each one of us, a plan that He desires for us. But it's interesting to reflect on the Gospels that the church chooses up for us today, that we all understand this sense of Pentecost and something took place at Pentecost that changed the world forever. Let's not undersell this. It changed the world forever. But there was a lot of groundwork that led to that place, that the Holy Spirit and the relationship of the Holy Spirit culminated in Pentecost, but there was a lot that was taking place before. And that's why the church invites us, I think, beautifully to take a look at the Gospel of John today, as we're reflecting on this mission that each one of us has called to, right? Everybody here is called to go out and be a part of the mission. What that's going to look like is profoundly different. But everybody here, the Lord, has a mission for you, amen? And it is your job to discover what that is. But I'm going to suggest what the church invites us to, to reflect on today, helps us understand more fully and be able to do what, in fact, the Lord asks us to do. Amen? So it says in the scriptures today, Jesus said to his disciples, if you love me, you'll keep my commandments. And I will ask that my father and he will send you another advocate. And then again, we find you at the end of the Gospel. I have told you this while I'm with you, the advocate, the Holy Spirit, whom the father will send. This idea of the advocate is kind of a really complicated word. I did a quick search on the scriptures about the word advocate. There are, let's see, one, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight. There are at least eight different words depending on what translation you use for the word advocate. Some translations use paraclete. Some translations use comforter. Some use helper. Some use companion. Some use friend. Some use advocate. I can't read my writing. Seriously, I have no idea what that says. OK. All right. And I was thinking some use buddy. You have another buddy. It doesn't really, I just think that would have been an appropriate one, right? This idea of advocate, there's, again, eight different. Trying to get quite the right word. And you've often heard, I'm sure, about the advocate. One of the examples they use is a lawyer in a court case that he is your advocate. And that's not really what it is. It's more like the expert witness. The advocate is the one that, technically, it means the one who is coming in, right? The one who is coming in. So you've got a court case going on. You need an expert witness that's going to save the defense. The advocate is the one who's going to come on. He's going to give this great. If you saw the My Cousin Vinny, it's the woman who comes in and talks about the car. And everything changes, right? That's the advocate, OK? The advocate, another image that the scripture uses of the advocate is actually a military situation. You're fine yourself in a military situation. This particular group is being overrun by the military. You bring in the advocate. And the advocate is the one that fixes whatever the situation is. The advocate is the fixer, right? The advocate is the bottom of the ninth, two outs, base is loaded. You call in the advocate, right? The advocate is the one who saves the day. The one who saves the day, the one underdog, if you will. Ta-da, right? So those of you who remember who underdog is, right? Comes in to save the day. That's when the Lord says that He is giving you an advocate. It's the one who is going to come into the situation. He's going to come into the situation. The Lord has given you, has given us an advocate. And it's interesting that Jesus said it's really, really important that we understand this. This is the 14th chapter of John. It's the Last Supper Discourse. And right before He says this, He says to them, just so you know, I'm going to go away. And He talks about His Father's house and there are many rooms in His house. But I'm going to leave you. Imagine the consternation that must have caused for the disciples. They had spent this time with Him. And they have grown to love Him. And He says, I'm going to leave you. It's better, as Chris said, it's better that I go. And I'm sure they're like, is it really? I mean, this is going so good, Jesus. Let's just kind of go with this. So He kind of drops this bomb and He says, I'm going to leave you. It's better that I go. And then He says, and I'm going to send you an advocate. All right, that one who comes in at the last minute and saves the day, the one who comes in. And then He goes on to say, I will send you an advocate. And there's three things that I think He wants us to reflect on. Who will make His dwelling with you. You will make His dwelling with you. If we're going to be able to go out on mission, brothers and sisters, it's essential that we get this right, that this advocate comes to wants and make His dwelling in us. I would like to suggest that when this becomes reality for us, that we come to understand what does it mean that God dwells in me, that I am the tabernacle, literally the tabernacle of God, right? That God, He's going to make His dwelling with me. This changes everything. I mean, that if I really believe this, I can walk out of here with a profound confidence, right? So much of the mission of Pentecost is out there, but if it's not here first, I'm going to be freaking out out there. But I know that God dwells in me because of the power of the Holy Spirit. He says, I'll send you an advocate, the Holy Spirit that will dwell. And in that you will experience the Father and the Son because the Spirit is going to dwell and make that alive in us. Brothers and sisters, I think oftentimes if we're honest, when we're praying, we're looking for the Lord, we look for Him out there. And I recognize that He is out there, but He is first and foremost here, in present, dwelling in me. That if we begin to pray and we understand that reality that God dwells in me, our prayer isn't only external, but it becomes internal. God, you are dwelling in me. That you are alive in me. That you animate me. In those moments, and this is what's so beautiful and important is that Jesus has just said, I'm gonna leave, I'm gonna go away, but don't worry, the advocate is gonna come and he's gonna dwell with you. And brothers and sisters, sometimes that's the only thing I want in the midst of my fear, right?  You can't fix everything, they're just with you. And that's enough. Again, bearing in mind that Jesus is telling them that they're going to leave, that he's going to leave. Who here hasn't lost a loved one? And all you wanna do is just for a moment, just to dwell with them just for another moment. Jesus says I'm gonna send you an advocate and I'm gonna dwell with you.  I'm gonna dwell with you. I don't think we can go out on mission and do these great things that the Lord's inviting us to do unless we understand that the advocate dwells with us. Amen? Then he goes on and he says again, the advocate, the Holy Spirit, and he's going to teach you, right? He's going to teach you. This is important for us. We have to ask ourselves, do I wanna learn, right? Am I willing to learn? Am I willing? Am I willing to be able to be humble enough that maybe the Lord has something to teach me? And he tells us again, this is all culminating in Pentecost, but before he goes, I'm gonna dwell with you and I'm gonna teach you. And brothers and sisters, we have a great deal to learn, amen? Amen? The Lord wants to be able to teach us, to be able to equip us so that we're able to go out. But what I find comfort in this is that I don't, doesn't mean that I have to have all the answers. I know that I'm gonna find myself in situations and I don't know what I'm gonna do. I don't know what I'm gonna say. I don't know what the best course of action is, but I do trust that the Spirit of Jesus dwells in me and the Spirit of Jesus will lead me. And at this moment, he will teach me what it is that I am to do. Because so often times I have no idea. I mean, so many things come across my world that says, Jesus, I just don't know what to do. Teach me, lead me. What am I supposed to do here? I think that's particularly true for those of you who are parents.  You have no idea what you're supposed to do.  It's like, there is no book that you can go to. It's like, that's you, what do I do? Okay, here's what I need to do. You need the advocate to teach you, to come in at that moment. And this is what's so important for us to understand that the Spirit of Jesus wants to encounter us in the moment that we need him. That's the advocate, he comes and he saves the day. I got no idea what I'm supposed to say to my son or daughter. Come Holy Spirit, teach me what I'm supposed to say. One of the things that I love about the Catechism, when you take a look at the Catechism and speaking about the sacrament of marriage, it says that it's the first thing, and I also, whenever I do a wedding, I tell the couple this, that the Catechism says that the Holy, the first gift you received at matrimony at the day of marriage is the Holy Spirit. We often equate the Holy Spirit with confirmation or baptism. It's all some ordination. It's all the sacraments, right? But in marriage, it says that the Holy Spirit is readily available to the couple. I think that's a really powerful line, that the Holy Spirit is readily available to the couple. I was very graced with the mom and dad who would literally call on that, would find ourselves in a situation, in a stressful situation, and my mom and dad would say, well, let's just stop and let's just pray for a second. He said, are you serious?  It sounds like maybe Chris should have done that before he came home.  So it's probably Chris's fault. Right? But at that moment, right? The spirit, the advocate wants to come in and whatever the situation is. I mean, so oftentimes in my work, in my office at the university, we're in a situation where we're stressful. It's like, what do we do? I said, let's just stop. Let's just stop. There's nothing so urgent that we can't take 30 seconds and take a breath and say, Jesus, what am I supposed to do here? The Holy Spirit is ever available to teach us what to do, amen? Spirit is dwelling in us, is teaching us, and the last one I don't remember, what is it? Oh, that's right. He'll remind us. Right? I always joke that as a priest, 95% of what I do as a priest is tell people something they already know. Right? Telling something is some of the most profound experiences of my life has simply been the Lord reminding me. The seminary and sitting in a chapel by myself having to deal with just a lot of death and struggle with babies that I've been ministering to and families that I've been ministering to. And just in that moment, there was just this profound darkness and in this weight that was upon me, not knowing what I was supposed to do, not knowing what I was supposed to do when I confronted by these situations as a priest.  The Lord had been barren and distant and a million miles away. I was just pouring out my heart to the Lord and he broke in and he said, Dave, don't you know that I love you? And I had to be honest and I said, no. I mean, I'd forgotten. Right? I'd forgotten that. I love the fact that the spirit of Jesus comes to dwell with us, to teach us and to remind us. To remind us of those things that we know, that remind us that in the midst of the stress and the anxiety and the pressures of the world, it just takes this moment to remind us. I remember one time an individual came to confession and they repented for not remembering. And I found myself praying in that evening and reflecting on that because it's rare that we repent for not remembering but the scripture says time and time again, remember, remember, remember. This is what this is. The Greek word is these enamonesses, this act of memory, this act of remembering. And what the spirit wants us, wants to be able to do is to help to remind us in those moments that we most need that. Again, the advocate is the one who's gonna come in and save the day and remind us what we need to know. And I find from experiences like this or when I lead pilgrimages, people are anxious at the end because they've heard so much and they're worried. It's like, I just wanna remember everything, right? I just wanna remember everything. I believe in a spirit of Jesus that's gonna remind us when the time is necessary. And it may be a year from now and you're gonna be in a situation with somebody at your work or somebody at the soccer field or somebody in the hospital and the memory's gonna come back. You're gonna be able to share and being able to bring forth what you heard this weekend or 10 years ago because the spirit will remind you. Again, that's why we're here is that Jesus invited us to return to this altar and to remember and allow him to remind us what he's done for us. Do me a favor, take a breath. Jesus on this day of Pentecost, you sent the advocate to dwell with us that we would not be orphaned. You will always be with us to teach us and to remind us so that we might be faithful in the mission you've given us. Come Holy Spirit. Amen.


This is Stadium in 60. A quick update on the Titans new stadium. One of the most exciting parts of the new stadium is that Titans fans will be offered triple the number of experiences that they can currently get in Nissan Stadium. Titans president and CEO Burke Nihill gets more specific. This new stadium is going to have 15, 16 different ways to engage with the game. And if you want that experience where you're in a suite or you're sitting in the lower bowl and you're just watching the game the whole time, that's there for you. And it's going to be better than it's ever been before. But if you want to have a more social experience, if you want to bring your family and be able to kind of let the kids get their wiggles out a little bit, there's going to be more opportunities for you to do that within this new stadium too. One of the phrases we rallied around a little bit is the light bulb wasn't invented by the continuous improvement of the candle. And so if the current Nissan Stadium is a really good candle, we weren't just trying to make a better candle. We were trying to start over and make a light bulb.

d for the prohibition of refiliated minced meat to be traded internationally. Our objective would be to have that restriction lifted in both directions. If we can import fresh meat and fresh meat preparations, there is no reason why we cannot import or export refiliated minced meat and meat preparations. However, at the moment, the prohibition occurs in both directions, so we have treated it as a technical discussion through the trade and co-operation agreement to come to a consistent view of what the rule should be, both for imports and for exports. I have a quick question on SSIs. Prior to Christmas, we saw that the Scottish Government withheld agreement to an SI relating to border controls. A Scottish SI was brought in, which I believe we will be looking at next week. Can you go through the process that the Scottish Government follows to decide whether to agree to an SI or to put an SSI in place, which ultimately has the same outcome? At what point do you make the decision to agree to a UK-wide SI or to bring in your own? As we have seen particularly with the border controls, which was a decision taken at very last minute? That is because there had been a significant policy change that we were only made aware of at the very last minute, so I understand that at the timing of that was not ideal. Normally, in the policy notes, a company, the SI notifications that we sent to the committee will explain what it is looking to achieve, why we are content that the Scottish ministers are content to agree that the UK does that on our behalf. A lot of the time that it can save our time and resource for the UK to do that on our behalf with our consent. In relation to that, I cannot think of many other instances where we have done this off the top of my head. I do not know if officials will have further information, but I think that the extent of the policy that was changing in this SI, we needed to be able to take the time to fully consider what the ramifications of that were going to be, which is why we decided to bring forward our own secondary piece of legislation. However, I would like to bring in Jesus, who I think will have more to add on this. Thank you, cabinet secretary. In respect to the instrument just before Christmas, in fact, it released that we were not given the option. The UK Government has the ability to legislate on behalf of Scotland, but it does not have the obligation. We cannot introduce a UK SI unless we are given that opportunity. What happened before Christmas is that the UK Government introduced these last-minute changes to the island of island checks and requested that Scottish Government consented either to the whole instrument or nothing. Since we were not in a position to consent to the whole instrument, we had no choice but to withdraw from the rest of the instrument, including the provisions that we were prepared to consent to. Those provisions were introduced through a separate Scottish instrument just before Christmas. Officials preferred the option to continue with a UK instrument for the provisions that we had agreed, but we were not given that option. Thank you very much. That is very useful information. Finally, I have a supplementary question from Rachel. Yes, convener. It was just to pick up on Jim Fairlie's point, because I was interested as well who had been involved in the subsidy control bill. It seems that there is a statutory requirement, a statutory duty, under sections 53 of the UK internal market 2020 to consult with devolved Governments. Therefore, unless Jim disagrees with that, it seems that they did offer and invite the devolved Governments to make representations within that consultation that they received 234 responses. Okay. That was just to put it on the record. I do not think that you were expecting a response from the cabinet secretary. I do not see any further questions from members. I thank you very much, cabinet secretary and your officials, for taking part. That has been most useful and I am sure that we will visit some of these topics again in the near future. Thank you. We will now move on to agenda item 4. It is consideration of animal products, transitional import conditions, miscellaneous amendment, Scotland regulation 2021, SSI 2021-221-432, and I refer members to paper 3. As some provisions were made under the European Union Withdrawal Act 2018, we first need to consider whether the parliamentary procedure designated to this instrument by the Scottish Government is appropriate. Members will note that the negative procedure has been designated, and the Delegated Powers and Law Reform Committee agreed with this designation when it considered the matter on 7 December. Are members content that this negative procedure is appropriate for the SSI 2021-432? Could you please type in in the chat box if you do not agree? Otherwise, I will presume that members are content. We are content, thank you. We now move on to agenda item 5 in consideration of that SSI 2021-432. The instrument that came into effect in 1 January extends a previous derogation allowing chilled meat to be imported from countries in the European Economic Area, the Faroe Islands, Greenland and Switzerland, and the derogation is extended to 30 June 2022. The instrument also removes, for the period that transitional arrangements are in place, the health certification requirements for annual products that would otherwise have applied from 1 January 2022. No motion to annul has been lodged. Does any member have any comment to make about the instrument? If so, could you please type R in the chat box? Are members content to note the instrument, or does any member wish to make a recommendation about the instrument? Once again, if you wish to do so, could you please type R in the chat box? I see no comment, so members are content to note the instrument. That brings us to the end of the public session. We will now move into private session on agenda item 6. We will take a short break.

As of yesterday, it has now been 10 months since I've become an amputee. It's been 10 months since I've started this channel and oh my god, it has been a wild ride filled with adventure and laughter and tears and challenges and really cool things and difficult ones and let's talk about that. Hello my beautiful internet friends and welcome back. This is the 10 month post-amputation update. I've done a couple other ones of these for the different months. Three month update because day is the three month month anniversary of my amputation that has been four months since my amputation, just over four months. Today is the six month anniversary of losing my leg. Honestly, these serve a couple different purposes. One, I think it's neat to have the documentation for myself. Secondly, if you're gonna face amputation it might be good to know what it looks like at different stages. And lastly, it makes for a fun video I think to kind of recap everything. Hi baby. For all of you guys who have been here for part of the journey or if you haven't here's what's been happening. I won't go into like everything just because a lot of my recent videos have been focused on like what's coming up and the fact that I'm having surgery again in a few weeks. Just about two weeks exactly which is kind of crazy. But the one big question that's been echoing around my head is if I knew what I know now, would I still have done it? Would I still have had an elective like amputation to make my life better when it has been a very very uphill battle? So let's talk about that. Quick recap if you have not been here for a lot of this. I had my leg chopped off October 11, 2018. Hey everybody it's Jo. It is now one day before my ankle amputation and we are headed up to Denver tonight to get everything prepared and at 7.30 tomorrow morning I will have my right lower leg chopped off amputated taken off. December I got fitted for a prosthetic. I think it was and then quickly after that I had a really really bad fall that caused a couple verses. Long story short I had surgery in March. Right now as you are watching this I actually scheduled it to go live the minute that my surgery is starting. I am having surgery as we speak. It fixed things but it didn't actually fix things. It caused issues and other underlying issues were still there and so I have been on hold unable to use a prosthetic since December and now I am two weeks out from having my leg cut off a second time. It's super weird to think about. At the beginning of all of this I had this expectation in my head that things would be really hard. Obviously becoming an amputee would be incredibly difficult and something that I couldn't predict. Hey guys it's Jo welcome back. You can see some of my cute little puppies sitting over there. I realized that trying to predict how we're going to react to something is pretty damn useless because you don't know until you get there. But I did like all the research that I possibly could. I watched all the YouTube videos for weeks on end. I researched everything that I could. I looked up what life would really look like. I've been talking to the amputee community which has been amazing because there are a surprising number of people who have leg amputations when you really start talking to people and there's been a lot of support and a lot of answering questions. What the actual you know challenges and struggles would be but I still think I kind of had a rosy picture of what my life would be. I thought that it would fix problems and not cause them which was a naive view to have but I was very very hopeful and so I thought okay I'm going to have this done. Six to eight weeks later I'm going to get fit for prosthetic. It's going to be hard. It's going to be difficult. I'm going to have to readjust to life. This is a change forever but I'm going to be able to walk again maybe without pain and that's worth it and so it's not that there wasn't more thought that I put into it because believe me there was but that was that was like it when you boiled it down right. I just wanted to be able to do things and I saw this as the way to do that because surgeries were going to end an amputation anyway. Like after the recovery is mostly done like being able to run and being able to do stuff and being able to hike with my dogs and even just freaking walk around the block without as much pain as I have right now. And again if you don't know what I'm talking about or my whole story I'll link a playlist down below that thoroughly goes into all of that and one thing that I think I even said in a few videos towards the beginning is I know that I don't even know all the questions to ask. Telling me to ask questions I wouldn't have even thought to ask. Like I cannot predict how difficult this is going to be or what my reaction is going to be because frankly none of us can predict our reactions to something until we actually get there. There is no way to predict how I am going to feel. This has been so much harder than I ever could have imagined in so many more ways and it's like it's all the little things frankly it's all the little things that get to me. It's the not being able to stand up and move even a few steps without thinking about it. It's not being able to get myself a glass of water without thinking about it and putting effort into it and everything is um everything is still pretty exhausting and I'm adjusting like I'm finding a new normal but it has been emotionally a train wreck at times and exhausting but then at the same time I've been able to do so much like I traveled overseas for the first time in my life in months like six or five of being an amputee which I'm super proud of myself for being able to do and I launch this channel and I get to talk to all of you guys so there have been really really cool things along the way but the question like I said that I've been asking myself at month 10 heading into another amputation or revision they're doing it all over again I'm kind of starting over at stage one is if I knew what was going to happen would I do it over again it's funny I posted a community poll a little while ago saying hey if you have any questions I'll be doing the q&a and so many of those questions were do you regret it like would you go back and and do it it being having this amputation again and I have to be honest um yes I would but I'm also honestly glad that I didn't know what I know because I think it would have made the decision so much more difficult I wanted to be informed like I wanted to know what the challenges and struggles and risks were obviously that's important they cut into one there so that's the leg that we're considering removing so yeah at this point I'm thinking it's probably best given the information and life I'm living right now to go ahead with a lower leg amputation but I think that there was no way that I could actually absorb how hard this was going to be there was no way that I could comprehend that without actually going through it myself and I kind of think it was necessary for me to be able to make the decision not to know how hard it was going to be I think I'm just thinking about things from like a rational perspective like it makes sense to do this because it's the quickest way to a better life I kind of had to separate the emotional and the rational sides of my thought process of my being and just focus on the rational for a little while and realize that yes this is the best decision for my life yes it is going to be hard but I kind of threw hard into this bucket of like yeah I've gone through stuff before I've gone through challenges in my life before and I've made it out to the other side but with the information I have this is the decision I need to make I'm glad I made it but if I could go back and tell Joe before surgery this is how hard it's actually going to be I don't think I would I'm doing it in nine days I'm going to have it below the right knee leg amputation um it has not been easy decision to make I have done a lot of thinking a lot of talking to people and yeah nine days I will have my lower leg removed and start a new chapter of life I don't think I would let her into all of those bits and pieces and secrets because I don't think that I would have heard them I don't think I needed to hear them that decision needed to be made I haven't seen the benefits of that decision yet like I'm not able to walk I'm definitely not in less pain well that's not true actually most days my residual limb does hurt less than my ankle did which is fantastic but I'm also not on it if I actually try to put any weight on it it's just as bad or way worse so at month 10 I can tell you sincerely I don't regret this but also this was a hell of a lot harder than I ever could have thought in every possible way I thought that things were going to go smoothly at a minimum and I thought that even that was going to be hard which is true but with all the bumps in the road this has tested me in every pretty much every possible way and I'm still in the process of of that testing and it's a challenge but there are so many bits of gold along the way too and even though I don't see the reward yet even though I don't see the benefit I am holding on to hope that it's there I'm holding on to the vision that one day I'm gonna make a video going hello tears of going for a jog for the first time on a running leg and before that before I show you guys that I'm gonna show all the clips like this all the moments previous to this where I felt hopeless and I felt like it was never gonna be okay and like I would never get there I'm gonna piece all those together and then one day I'm gonna run and it's gonna be okay I'm just not there yet and in this particular moment it may change 10 minutes from now I feel hopeful about this next surgery I feel hopeful that it will bring some help I love the medical team that I'm working with I feel like they're very very competent and like I might actually be able to get somewhere and that's really cool so at month 10 I'm grateful to be moving forward finally at month 10 I'm still terrified of all of this head month 10 I'm very overwhelmed I'm still getting used to it I'm still making peace with the fact that I am an amputee and what that means how sometimes very difficult and challenging it is also I love that you can see a puppy foot I didn't notice that until just now how long has that been the case Sadie Sadie how long have you been in the video and oh and we're about to be invaded by a secondary shepherd hi Sophie mommy's gotta finish the video fully done she's such a good dog anyways this is me at month 10 and you know what in the grand scheme of things 10 months actually isn't that long I think it makes sense that I'm still adjusting that I'm still grieving that I'm still having a hard time and I'll get there wherever there is it's a process at the journey and all of those other super cliche words thank you for being a part of this journey with me it means more to me than I can ever tell you with words thank you thank you to my patrons who make this possible who sponsor my videos and support what I do thank you watching this video for spending a few minutes of your day here with me learning about month 10 I love you guys I'm thinking about you and I'll see you in the next video bye guys Sadie's foot says bye too


Hey, everyone, welcome back to Neil here from TC Helicon again. And now in this video, we're talking phantom power, mic control, and the talk features on your Perform V. Mic control is an awesome feature that allows you to pair your MP75, your MP76, or your MCA100 with your Perform V, giving you effects control from anywhere on the stage. Before we get started, be sure to back up your Perform V in voice support. Mic control is saved on the fly, so you will not be able to go back to the previous setup you had without rebooting your unit. To activate mic control, first turn on the 48-volt phantom power, then select mic control mode. This is done by holding down the 48-volt button and clicking Preset 1. This is the setup you can use when just using a regular condenser mic. This will limit mic control mode and make sure you don't inadvertently activate any of the buttons on the Perform V while you're singing. You can use this setting when you have a regular condenser mic and not one of our MP76s or 75s. If mic control mode is on here, you could inadvertently activate the Perform V buttons as you sing. To deactivate mic control or use just a regular condenser mic, hold down the 48-volt phantom power and press Preset 1. To set up your MP75 microphone, hold down the 48-volt button and hit Preset Number 2. The MP75's mic control button cycles through Presets 1 through 3 on your Perform V by default. You can change that behavior by holding down the mic control button and then pressing the button on the Perform V that you'd like to control. For example, if you hold the mic control button and then press the double button, you can use the mic control button on your MP75 microphone to switch to Perform V's doubling on or off. If you have an MP76 connected but choose MP75 mode, the top button on the MP76 will function just like an MP75. The other buttons won't do anything. The MCA100 also functions the same way as the 75. Simply attach your MCA100 between your microphone and your XLR send from the board and follow the MP75 setup instructions that we just went over. To set up your MP76, hold the 48-volt button down and press Preset Button 3. In this mode, you'll be able to control doubling through the top button, Preset 1 through the left button, Preset 2 through the right button, and Preset 3 through the bottom button. Assigning Presets 1 through 3 to a button allows you to control the hit function if the Preset slot contains a beamed preset. For more information, see importing or beaming a preset and hit in the Perform V manual, or check out our video earlier in the series. In MP75 and MP76 mode, you can control the following parameters, doubling, reverb, echo, tap tempo, talk, Presets 1 through 3, tone, anti-feedback, and pitch. Assigning Preset 1 through 3 to a button allows you to control the hit function if this Preset slot contains a beamed preset. For more information, see the importing or beaming a preset and hit in the Perform V manual, or watch the beaming in a preset video. During a performance, especially between songs, you might want to talk to the audience. In this case, you probably don't want all the effects on your voice. This is where the Talk button comes in. When active, Talk bypasses all the Perform V's effects except for tone so that you can speak with the crowd and be heard clearly. When active, Talk bypasses all the Perform V's effects except for tone so that you can speak with the crowd and be heard clearly. Ox signals, though, are still passed to the XLR out in Talk mode. To activate Talk, simply press the Talk button.  To lock, mute your Perform V, press and hold the Talk button until it flashes red. In lock or mute mode, all outputs, including XLR and headphones, are muted and the Perform V's front panel is disabled. This prevents people from messing with your gear when you've stepped away from the mic. To reactivate or unmute your Perform V, press and hold the Talk button again. So that's it for phantom power, mic control and Talk with your Perform V. So stick around and we've got lots more to talk about in the next video.


Hey, everybody. What's up? It's Rob. Welcome back to the AliCast show. So today, we're going to be talking about the importance that labeling can play in your applications. Now, if you follow the web content accessibility guidelines, which is really a set of criteria for making sure that your app is accessible, the very first thing you'll see in their guidelines in section 1.1 is that you need to provide text alternatives for controls and images and things like that in your page. So looking at section 1.1.1, we can see that if non-text content is a control or a sub-user input, then it has to have a name that describes its purpose. And you'll see mention of things needing names and then we'll add guidelines in a lot of different places. It can be a little confusing when you're reading these guidelines to understand what they mean by that, because I thought we were talking about labeling, but it's saying names. The term itself, name, is a bit overloaded in some of the accessibility specs. You'll also see sometimes it's referred to as text alternatives and things like that. But really what we're talking about here is for any sort of control or image on your site, it's going to have a few different attributes to it. It's going to have a name or a label. We often use those interchangeably. It can also have a role, so it can be a role button or a role of a checkbox or something like that. And it can also sometimes have a state, right? So like a button could be disabled or not. So today we're going to specifically talk about the name or the label of controls and really why it's important and how you can label elements differently or the different techniques you can use in your application. So follow me over here to JS bin. I'm going to walk through just a few examples. The first is we're going to start with a very simple button, just a very simple button element. And one of the things that I want to show off is how to use the new experimental Chrome accessibility dev tools to actually figure out what the name and the label for your controls is. So I've shown this off maybe a few times, but I realized I actually probably can do a good job of teaching folks how to turn these dev tools on. So the way you do that is you go to chrome colon slash slash flags, and this will open a bunch of features that you can turn on in your browser. These are all oftentimes experimental things, so you've got to be careful about just flipping stuff on. But the thing we're going to look for here is, we'll look for the word dev tools. And there's a line here that says, enable dev tools experiments right here. So I'll click the enable button, and then down at the bottom of the screen is prompt to tell me to relaunch. It's going to relaunch everything. Wait for Chrome to restart. And once it comes back online, we now know that our dev tools are ready to start working with. So I'll go over to JS bin, where I've been working on that little button example. Open my dev tools using command option J on my Mac. And then I'm going to click the little context menu over here on the right-hand side. There's like three dot thing. Go to settings, and we should now have this experiments tab in our dev tools. And when I click on this, there'll be the option to turn on accessibility inspection. And then I just need to close my dev tools and open them again. And now we're actually able to use these cool new accessibility dev tools. So for instance, I can go over and I can inspect this button and looking in the elements panel. Let's see over here where you've got the sort of like a style tab and things like that. Go over a little bit more. We'll see that we have this new accessibility option. And I'll zoom this in a little bit so it's a bit easier to read. Here, let's actually, we'll dock the dev tools to the bottom of the screen. So we can have a little bit more real estate. Scoot this up. All right, move it over. Accessibility, boom. OK, so now we see all sorts of cool accessibility related information for this button element. And you can see right here, there's a name field where it says add to cart, right? And that's the exact text that we've placed inside of that button. I'll zoom that in a little bit more so you can see the button up there at the top of the screen as well. So how is this name being applied to this button? Where did it actually get that value from? Well, if you look at the dev tools, you can see that there's a few different ways that a name can be calculated. If the element has a title, right now it says it's not specified. For some elements, it can actually take the content of the element. So since we actually put some text inside of our button right here, right, it's actually using that content to provide the name for the element. But there's other options as well, right? So it could be from label, it could be aria label, and aria label by as well. And I'll talk about those in just a little bit, right? But so this is sort of like the basics of how we get a name for an element. And we can assert that things are working as we expect by turning on a screen reader. And I'll move this box up here so you can kind of see what voiceover is saying, turn on volume. Inside of the frame, add to cart button, voiceover off. Right, and so you can see that the screen reader announces the name of the control when it lands on it. So it said add to cart and then it announces the roll button. Now for some elements, something like a checkbox, for instance, you usually don't have the ability to put text inside of the tag. So it can't generate a name from its content. So let's do another example here. We'll do input type equals checkbox. We'll get rid of that, add to cart button. Input type equals checkbox. Maybe we'll mark it as checked already, right? So you can see this little guy over here is checked. You know, what you might do, sometimes you might just say, OK, cool, well, I'll say like sign up for our newsletter, right? So a sighted user is going to be able to see that text on screen and they'll know that, OK, that text is associated with that checkbox because they're right next to each other. But if we inspect the checkbox, we can see that it actually does not have any sort of like computed name right now. So the problem here is if I'm using a screen reader and I just land on this checkbox, all it's going to do is say, you know, checkbox. It's not actually going to tell me anything else about it. So how do I give this element a name? Well, the way that we do that with a lot of sort of the built-in controls is we use the native label element. So if I just wrap this input in a label tag and put that text inside of there. So I've got both the input and the text that's labeling it inside of this label tag. And now, if I go and I inspect the input element and we look at our DevTools, we can see that its name is now set to sign up for our newsletter because it got that from that label element. Another technique that you can use, if for instance maybe like wrapping something in a label doesn't quite work for your needs, is you can give the element an ID. So I can give this input an ID. I'll just call it check, or something like that. And then I can give my label a four attribute and I can associate it with the ID of that element. So I'll say my label is for that check element. So I'm matching it to its ID. I'm matching its ID reference. And now, if I go and inspect these things, we'll see that we still get that name. And one thing you might note is in the Accessibility DevTools right now, it says from label for label undefined. So there's a little bit of a bug in this DevTool. Again, these are still experimental. So you might uncover bugs from time to time. But when that bug is fixed, it'll probably say something like label for, and it'll specify this label element right here. Tell us that's the label that is providing the name for our element. OK, cool. So that works for native controls, button, input, select, things like that. You can use the label element on those. But there are instances where the label element itself doesn't quite work for your needs either. So I'll give you another example here. Let's say we're making a button. And I've already written some CSS for this button. And it's going to be one of those sort of classic hamburger menu buttons. I'm sure you've seen these on responsive websites before. So usually, when you're using a hamburger menu button, you don't put any text on screen near it. Now you can. You could write the word menu underneath, and you could use that to label the element, which would be cool, but some designs folks don't do that. So how do I give this button some sort of a name? How do I give it some sort of a label? So one technique that we can use to do that is we can use the aria label attribute. The aria label attribute is basically going to provide a name for the element. And if that element already had text content or something like that, like an actual button element, the aria label element is going to trump that text content. And that will be the only text that is used, what is inside the aria label. So in this case, for this menu button, I'm going to give it aria label equals, we'll just say, menu. And now we go and we inspect this element using our DevTools. We can see that the name for the element is menu. And we can see that that value is coming off of that aria label attribute and even sites that we've got some aria attributes here. Cool. So that is another technique that you can use. If you need to label something, but you don't have the ability to put on-screen text on the page, this is a very, very handy technique. Again, if you are building any sort of site in general, but you want your screen reader users to be able to pick out the controls that have non-visual labeling, this is a very helpful technique. The last thing I want to talk about is how you can associate other elements as your label for things like custom controls. So let's say I'm building a really, really fancy custom widget, maybe a custom checkbox or a custom dropdown menu, something that doesn't have a native analog in the browser. I can use another attribute called aria-labeled-by to associate a label with that element. The reason why I want to use aria-labeled-by is because the native label tag only works with a few sort of like select-built-in elements. So it works for button, input, and select. But if I'm making custom controls and things like that, unfortunately, the label element is not able to provide those elements a label. So what I'm going to have to do is use the aria-labeled-by attribute. So let me walk you through an example of that. Let's see, I've already written some CSS for a custom button. Now, if you watch the previous episode, maybe we can include a link like over here or something like that, you never, ever, ever want to make a div button. But I'm going to do it for this case just to demonstrate a scenario where just using the label tag is not going to work for an element. So I'm going to add a div. I'll say class equals button. And we'll say shop now. So I'm making a button that lets folks shop for some stuff. So we're going to roll equals button. So that'll identify this element's roll. We'll give it a tab index of 0 so it's focusable. That's important. Cool. So if we go and we look at this element in our DevTools, it says this thing is roll equals button. It sort of has a label of shop now, because it's pulling it out of its text content. And that's useful. But maybe we have a bunch of shop now buttons on the page. Maybe we have a bunch of different sections where someone can shop for some stuff. So let's say this one in particular is under men's shirts. So someone could land on this button and say shop now, but it doesn't really tell them what they're shopping now for. I want a way to associate men's shirts with this shop now button. And I can do that using aria-labeled-by. So the same way that we did things with the for attribute and label element, we're going to give this heading an ID, an ID of men's shirts. And then we're going to associate that with this custom control. We'll say aria-labeled-by, which I always misspell, equals men's shirts. So open that up. Look at it in the DevTools. Look at our accessibility tab here. And we will see now that the name for this element is men's shirts. OK, well, that's kind of what we wanted, but we've lost the other bit where it says shop now. We kind of have to add that back in. And so this is where we see actually one of the really cool features of aria-labeled-by, which is that it can compose labels together by referencing different elements. In fact, the element that's containing the aria-labeled-by attribute can even self-reference itself and use that to compose a better label. So let's give that element an ID as well. So we'll take our div button here. And we'll say men's shirts button. And we'll say aria-labeled-by men's shirts, men's shirts button. And now we go back. We inspect this control. I'm going to look at the accessibility. And we'll see that now if a screen reader lands on this element, it's going to say men's shirts shop now button. You can verify that using a voiceover. Voiceover on Chrome. Men's shirts shop now button. Voice over off. Right on. That's really nice. And we also see down here in the DevTools, we get references to the elements that are the ID for the references that are being used for aria-labeled-by, which is really, really helpful. So that about covers the basics of labeling. If you have a site today, maybe you haven't gone through it with a screen reader just yet, maybe give that a shot. And if you've got some controls that perhaps they're just announcing the role, but not announcing the associated label, then consider using some of these techniques to make sure that those elements have a proper label, proper name.

Hey switch owners switch owners. I'm talking to you Nintendo has some good news for us Apparently they intend I Mean, I'm sure they always intended but they intend to maintain a steady stream of releases for switch One of my primary concerns for Nintendo switch during year one is how the heck are they gonna follow this up in year two and year three? It almost seems impossible Start it with Zelda and it with Mario release a bunch of really good games in between most of them exclusive some of them Not well here Nintendo has finally addressed it So I'm getting this it comes from for gamer, which is a Japanese publication So I'm gonna read this from Nintendo everything who had translated it I'm just gonna read their post in its entirety so you can gain the full context of what it says Since there aren't any direct quotes given.  I'll have a link to their post on this or down in the description below For a game republished a new interview today with Super Mario Odyssey producer Yoshiaki Kozumi It was mainly about that game as you would expect but the piece also contains some talk about the switch in general It's worth noting that Koizumi was the overall general producer of the switch hardware Towards the end of its interview for gamer brought up how switch is getting a number of big games at a steady pace in its first year The site almost feels like Nintendo compressed a five-year console cycle into just one year in Response Koizumi noted how the beginning is important when establishing a game console Not only is the amount of software that's important But also how long it takes in which people become satisfied in playing them Switch was released in March rather than at the end of the year where the battle for sales is basically at its peak With Nintendo wanting to properly line up the idea of how switch can be played before the holiday season Koizumi went on to talk about how Nintendo's various games hit and different points For Zelda Breath of the Wild Nintendo wanted to feel the surprise of switch letting you take a home console quality game on the go One-two switch was made for Explaining the joy con and Mario Kart 8 deluxe is to let people experience the idea of sharing controllers Then Splatoon 2 is to convey the fun of local multiplayer and arms is a way to show that Nintendo is also creating new IPs The company also calculated the timing to release Super Mario Odyssey and ZLB Chronicles 2 in being prepared for those who want a full-fledged RPG Koizumi did note how it was really hectic to make these titles fit just right into the schedule For a gamer pointed out how this was the timing And it becomes very important because each title has its own role to which Koizumi agreed with Four gamer closes out this section of the discussion by bringing up some concerns that Nintendo won't be able to maintain Its strong pace of software since so many mainstay games are brought out this year However, Koizumi said that things are being constructed in such a way that the steady pace will be Maintained Also, Nintendo still has a number of IPs left Koizumi added that there should be many third parties that will look into ways of using the console So there is that to look forward to as well Let that sink in Nintendo, I think the big thing to take away from all of this is I see one path that Nintendo can continue this steady stream of releases and that is if they're done with the 3ds We did an episode on last week's podcast talking about the death of the 3ds It's time It's time The way that they can maintain the switches momentum the way that they can maintain the steady streams is for all of Nintendo's games To come out on a single platform It's never happened in the history of Nintendo or 30 years in and Nintendo has never had all of their teams working on games For a single platform that happening is going to equal to a steady stream of releases It could even equal to another Mario game and another Zelda game releasing on switch a 3d Mario game at that And the 3d is all the game at that because all the teams are focused on a single platform Which is going to make games not only come out faster, but a wider variety of games as well This first year was fantastic. There is no doubt. No one doubts how amazing this first year was Arguably the best first year for exclusive games for a console launch. Maybe ever But to follow that up with something better. We know Metroid's coming. We know Pokemon's coming We know fire emblems coming heck We're probably gonna find out animal crossing is coming as well Nintendo has so many IPs to hit on I wouldn't even mind them continuing to make new IPs while bringing back some of their old ones Think about all the old IPs. I mean, isn't the time ready now for another button Kato's to come back a wave race and f0 Nintendo has many ways to capitalize on this generation So even if they don't release a Mario Kart 8 9 because they view Mario Kart 8 deluxe as this generation's Mario Kart They still have an excuse to release wave race then they still have an excuse to release an f0 We're still got Kirby and Yoshi coming Nintendo's got a pretty big library of games and while nothing in their library is arguably as big as say Pokemon Zelda and Mario They have a lot of really really big titles animal crossing is actually more popular than a lot of people think and I'm hoping fire Elmo Warriors actually sells really well because I like the fire emblem series and so far I'm enjoying the game but Yeah, this is just all really really interesting to me and I want to get your guys's thoughts on it in the comments below I'm also going to put a thread up for talking about this over on our forums at forums dot Nintendo prime net So if you guys want to go over there and continue the conversation beyond today You can even quote your own comments if you want. I don't care We're going to try to push those forums more and more each and every day for the rest of 2017 as I want to have continual conversations with my community or I should say our community, right? I mean, I often say I am Nintendo prime But I don't own you, right? You don't own me. I'm the content creator. You guys are the ones enjoying the content Let's have an open conversation together Uh talking about this this company that we love so much in Nintendo Anyways folks I am Nathaniel Ruffigance from Nintendo prime and if you like this video, you know what to do And if you disliked the video hit that dislike button Subscribe for more content just like this one and I'll catch you in the next one


Following the directives of the chief of army staff, Lieutenant-General Farouk Yahya to all military formations in the country, to command various military operations across the country, officers and men of the third full artillery brigade Obinze in Amos State have keied into that directive with the commencement of the exercise Golden Dawn. Speaking at the flag of the exercise of the exercise rather, the brigade commander, General Raymond Usahar, said it is aimed at curbing the activities of criminals during the hilltide. He said the Golden Dawn is an army-level exercise, but all other security agencies in the state will participate in it. It is also aimed at building on the gains made against the renegade, hyper, particularly in Amos State and in the southeastern part of Nigeria in general. The exercise is supposed to last up to the end of December and we are mindful of the fact that this is the period we have most of our citizens from the diaspora coming in to celebrate and visit families. A governor of hope, Uzodimma, was on ground to flag off the exercise. In his speech, he commended the army and other security agencies for the tenacity and relentless fight against men of the underworld. Hello, hope you enjoyed the news.

The global climate is changing rapidly, leading to increasingly extreme weather events, mainly due to the rising temperature in the Earth's atmosphere, a rising temperature driven by increasing emission of greenhouse gases, carbon dioxide, methane, nitrous oxide. These all trap heat in the atmosphere. More than 24% of these gases are emitted by agricultural practices and they continue to increase due to inappropriate changes in land use, excessive use of chemical fertilizer, increasing numbers of ruminants, and deforestation. Of these gases, nitrous oxide is 300 times more powerful than carbon dioxide in causing global warming, and it stays in the atmosphere for more than 120 years. Microbial processes in the soil convert nitrogen fertilizers and animal manure into nitrous oxide, which is then emitted into the atmosphere. To minimize this process, it is crucial to identify first the origin and then measure the extent of the emission. Since nitrous oxide contains nitrogen atoms, it is possible to use what is known as the nitrogen-15 stable isotope technique, which calls for applying nitrogen-15 labeled fertilizers to defined soil plots, and then measuring the difference between the labeled and unlabeled nitrous oxide that is emitted. This allows accurate and precise tracing of the nitrous oxide emissions. As for methane and carbon dioxide, whose atmospheric concentrations began increasing with the industrial revolution in the mid to late 1700s, both contain a carbon atom. This means the movement and origin of both can be measured by the carbon-13 stable isotope technique, and again provide information crucial to the mitigation of greenhouse gases. Only through the use of these stable isotope techniques is it possible to obtain essential information on the origin and extent of agriculturally derived greenhouse gases. Information which is pivotal in global efforts to reduce these gases and develop the sustainable, climate-smart agricultural practices that will shape the future.


Welcome to the course on Dealing with Materials Data. In the previous session we have started working with regression analysis and we are going to go further on it. First let us review what we did in the past, we considered the case of simple linear regression relationship between a response variable y and an independent variable x. We denoted it as yi is equal to alpha plus beta xi plus epsilon in which epsilon is a random error and this random error has been assumed to have a normal distribution with mean value of 0 and a variance of sigma square. It is a very natural assumption to make with respect to random errors. There is a slight change in notation from the previous class, please note. We previous session we said that yi is equal to beta 0 plus beta 1 xi, I am for simplicity changing it to alpha plus beta xi. So, in this case as you can see alpha, beta and sigma are unknown parameters that need to be estimated and we had derived those estimated estimates and we had used some notations which was freshly introduced. In the present session, we would like to look into some useful inference on the parameters. First the regression coefficients, then the mean response value of the regression and prediction of the future y value. This we will do by test of hypothesis concerning above values and we will arrive also simultaneously at interval estimates of these parameters at some confidence level. First we start with inference. You see we assumed that yi and xi has a linear relationship. I think it is important to test whether the any relationship ever exists and if you want to test such an hypothesis, it amounts to testing hypothesis that the parameter beta is equal to 0 because if the beta is 0, yi is simply alpha plus a random error. So, it becomes a completely a random process without having any systematic change in it. So, we want to test the hypothesis as 0 as beta is equal to 0 versus alternate hypothesis of beta as not equal to 0. In the previous session, we saw that beta estimated by B is distributed as normal distribution with a mean value of beta and variance of sigma square by Sxx. It is a good idea to recall that Sxx is defined as summation xi minus x bar whole square. Hence, we can easily say that beta B minus beta which is its estimated value divided by square root of sigma square by Sxx which is its variance which can be simplified in this manner is distributed as a normal 0 1. Now sigma square is also unknown and that can be estimated as sums of squares of residuals divided by sigma square which is Sxx Syy minus Sxy whole square divided by Sss sigma square is distributed as a chi square distribution with n minus 2 degrees of freedom. Please recall last time we also introduced why it is n minus 2? Why it is n minus 2? Because we have n data points, we have estimated 2 parameters alpha and beta and therefore remaining degrees of freedom becomes n minus 2 and therefore it is n minus 2. Please recall just as Sxx we can define Syy as summation of yi minus y bar whole square and Sxy will also be defined as summation xi minus x bar times yi minus y bar. So, from this it is easy if you if we replace, if we replace this sigma square, this sigma square in this formula by the estimated value of sigma square as SSR or rather the sigma square by SSR divided by this particular value, it turns out that this will be distributed as t distribution with n minus 2 degrees of freedom because this sigma square estimate and the beta estimate of that is V, these 2 are in the SSR and D are 2 independently distributed SSR is distributed as a chi square, V is distributed as a normal and therefore the ratio is going to be distributed as a t distribution with n minus 2 with appropriate multiplication constants which are given here. And therefore, we can say that we can reject the null hypothesis of beta is equal to B is equal to beta by stating that absolute value of this statistic is greater than t at n minus 2 degrees of freedom with gamma level of significance. Please recall that you have to take gamma by 2 because when you take alpha by 2, your t distribution is also a symmetric distribution and this is your rejection area that is this is your critical area C and this area total you would like it to be gamma. So, this is gamma by 2 and this is gamma by 2, gamma is your level of significance and therefore it is t this value which is defined as t gamma by 2 n minus 2 is the value you are taking and therefore it works out that this is the rejection region or critical region. So, you reject as 0 if square root n by 2 by SSR multiplied by SXX multiplied by B minus beta absolute value is greater than the cutoff value of t at gamma by 2 n minus 2 degrees of freedom if it is large you are going to reject the hypothesis at gamma level of significance. This also gives a rise to the interval estimator of beta because this is the acceptance region of the hypothesis, this is the acceptance that is a critical region that is a rejection region of hypothesis, this is an acceptance region of hypothesis and this probability is 1 minus alpha and therefore 1 minus gamma sorry and therefore the 100 times 1 minus gamma percent confidence. So, if gamma is say 0.01 then 99 percent confidence interval for estimator of beta can be given in this manner. Let us move on in the same fashion with respect to constant alpha. Now, when we want to test whether alpha is equal to 0 or not what we are really testing is if there is a linear relationship then the y-insert intercept of the line is 0 or not it means that does the line pass through the origin or not and therefore here again we have a distributed as in the previous notation as beta 0 with sigma square summation xi square divided by n SXX in the new notation because we have replaced beta 0 by alpha it becomes A is distributed normal with mean value of alpha and variance of sigma square with this multiplicative. Again SSR divided by sigma square is a chi square n by 2 as we have taken earlier and therefore when you replace the sigma square by the appropriate quantity with SSR we find that SSR by n minus 2 multiplied by this is distributed as t minus 2 degrees of freedom t distribution with my n minus 2 degrees of freedom I correct myself and therefore once again we can set up the procedure to test the hypothesis that alpha is equal to 0 and it also gives you gives us a way to get an interval estimate of alpha at 100 times 1 minus gamma percent confidence in this manner. Now we come to the next interest see a number of times our interest lies in considering the output or the response when the input value is x 0 some given value x 0. This can be said that suppose you are conducting an experiment with some variation in temperature. So, temperature becomes your independent variable and you are checking out some response variable y. Sometimes you are interested in finding out what happens at a given particular temperature. Now this can be looked into it in two ways. The first way is what we are trying to look into here and this is called the mean response. This is called the sorry this is called the mean response. Now this mean response we call it because the natural estimate of alpha plus beta x 0 is a plus beta x 0 as alpha is estimated by a and beta is estimated by b. An expected value of a plus b x 0 is alpha plus beta x 0. So, it is a natural estimator. Suppose we write b which is estimated as s x y divided by s x x it can be written as summation of x i minus x bar multiplied by y i multiplied by c. c is a constant which is 1 over s x x and a can be written as y bar minus b x bar. In that case a plus b x 0 is nothing but an average value of y and this is what I want to show you. At the same temperature when you are conducting an experiment several times the average value of that experimental result is going to be summation y i and then it turns out that this summation is going to be the expected value that is the expected value of that y i is going to be a plus or rather alpha plus beta x 0. So, the estimator of that is going to be y i multiplied by the constant as it comes here looking at this and then the variance of this value will be exactly sigma square multiplied by this quantity this you have to simply calculate it from that 1 over n comes because of it is a y bar. So, therefore, the quantity 1 over n comes here please remember. Let us I think it is a time to recall that if x 1, x 2, x n are given and you know that variance of x i is sigma square then the variance of x bar is given as sigma square by n and therefore, here this 1 over n term comes. Since y are distributed as normal a plus b x 0 will be distributed also as a normal with its response value as alpha plus beta x 0 and this as a variance as we calculated. Again, this sigma square is an unknown quantity we will be replacing it with sums of squares of residual divided by n by 2. Why is it so? Please recall once again let us recall here that this actually means this implies that expected value of sums of squares of residual divided by n minus 2 is sigma square and therefore, this sigma square over here we would like to replace by its estimator here and that when you estimate and you replace it again you are having a one normal random variable divided by an independent chi square random variable and therefore, this whole random variable follows t distribution with n minus 2 degrees of freedom. I guess n minus 2 degrees of freedom is now well understood and this distribution also gives us a way to test the hypothesis whether alpha plus beta x 0 is equal to 0 versus alpha plus beta x 0 is not 0 and to test the hypothesis now we have a test statistic and the same test statistics will give us a way to have the interval estimator at 100 times 1 minus gamma percentage confidence of alpha plus beta x 0 that is a mean response value at x 0 as this. Now we move to the prediction of future y. See here there is some confusion can exist so I would like to say spend some time in clarifying this. Suppose we are interested in predicting y for a given x 0, it means that a good example would be a weather prediction. Suppose I want to predict weather tomorrow morning then in that case I have to know the weather conditions which are independent variable x 0 for tomorrow morning and I should also know that in general when such conditions prevailed in past what is the average response. So, in the previous session what we have estimated is an average response mean response when the value of the weather condition is like x 0 and now what we are trying to do is we are trying to predict what is exactly going to happen tomorrow. So, it is going to depend on both. So, this is the difference between the mean response which is alpha plus beta x 0 and the exact response which is y x 0. Here I have given a example once again of the temperature where y be a response and x 0 be a temperature when the experiment is carried out then several experiments are carried out at x 0 we would like to estimate mean value of alpha plus beta x 0. However, when one experiment is carried out so like one weather forecast is to be carried out in that case we have to work out with the mean response for not the mean response, but the one response of y i and the case we are talking about is this case. So, let us start y is distributed as normal with alpha plus beta x 0 and sigma square as a variance a plus beta x 0 is distributed again as normal with a mean value of alpha plus beta x 0 and variance of sigma square into the bracket 1 over n plus x minus x 0 x bar minus x 0 whole square divided by s x x as we did in the previous two slides. Therefore, if you take the difference of the two the difference is distributed since the mean values are same the difference of a normal random variable is also normal and the difference is going to be the mean difference of the two means which is 0 and the difference of the variable has the variance as summation of two random variables. Please recall, please recall that if x and y are two independent random variables then variance of x minus y is variance of x plus variance of y. So, the same principle is being used here and you get this quantity it is this plus one of this and therefore, you find that if you divide this quantity with its variance it is distributed as standard normal distribution variate which is normal with mean 0 and variance 1. Again, sigma square is not known it has to be replaced by sums of squares of residuals divided by its degree of freedom n minus 2 and therefore, this quantity we find is distributed as t distribution with n minus 2 degrees of freedom because the quantity this and the quantity sums of squares of residuals are two independent random variables. And therefore, again we have a way to test the hypothesis that y is equal to alpha plus beta x 0 versus y is not equal to alpha plus beta x 0. These are the two hypothesis we can test using this t distribution with n minus 2 degrees of freedom and the same relationship or the distributional facility we can use to predict the interval response for y at input level of x 0 and with the 1 minus gamma times 100 percent confidence and that can be given by this interval. So, in summary let us go through it. We have done the inference about four quantities. These quantities are these quantities are beta and alpha and then we also worked with the mean response which is alpha plus beta x 0 mean response at a independent variable value x as equal to x 0 and a prediction of y at x 0. These quantities can be written in a distributional way as beta will be distributed as b minus beta that is the estimated value of b, let us write it down. We find that beta is estimated by b and that b has a distribution of b minus beta multiplied by this quantity as t distribution with n minus 2 degrees of freedom. Alpha is estimated by a and this a minus alpha multiplied by this quantity also has a t distribution with n minus 2 degrees of freedom. The mean response of alpha plus beta x 0 will be estimated by a plus b x 0 that is here and that also along with this divider has the same t distribution with n minus 2 degrees of freedom and if you want to predict y x 0 it will also be predicted as a minus a plus b x 0. Please remember this there is a some difference between the two and this difference will be estimated by this but the variance will be different. Note that the two variances are different because we are estimating different quantity. However, once the correct divider is used the distribution is again t with n minus 2 degrees of freedom. They give us two things number one way to test the hypothesis and it also gives you the way to have confidence interval estimator of each of these quantities. So, with this summary next we will move on to the next session of regression analysis.


Hello and welcome to Variable News. I'm your host, Actual Aquarius. Cal TV is doing something new this semester. We're bringing you all the happenings in Berkeley with a satirical slant. In an age where most college students get their news online and comedians have more credibility than news anchors, we figured, why not join them? We're building this from the ground up and as you can see behind me, we don't have a studio yet. The ASUC won't let us into MLK. But, despite the dilapidated boxes behind me, we're hitting the ground running like the amped up golden bears we are to bring you news reports that are not just informative, but bearable. This week, we're going to focus on one of our favorite UC Berkeley institutions. As just mentioned, the illustrious ASUC, the Associated Students of the University of California for those of you that don't know. Or as you may know them, the May I Walk You to Class People. The ASUC advertises itself as a 501C3 non-profit organization separate from university governance. But what does that mean? They promise to fund for student clubs and organizations, to provide resources and student programming, and to oversee commercial activities in student services while representing the student body. Somewhere in all of that political jargon, the ASUC works as a governing body that represents us students. But for those of us not in the ASUC, there's a lack of understanding for how exactly all of this ASUC money is collected, how it's allocated, and how control is exerted. But how exactly does it directly impact us? Why don't we know how it impacts us? And most importantly, what happened to the chicken strips at GBC, and why can't they bring Pete the clock back to the bear's lair? We face the fact that students have no idea what this arbitrary organization actually does for them. And since we can't get these answers from the ASUC themselves, we figured we would ask you. For this, we go out to our correspondent, Hannah. Thanks, Ashlyn. I'm Hannah Brandt, and we're here on Sproul to see what you guys have to say about the ASUC. So, do you have any idea what the ASUC stands for? Is it associated student union, you know? No idea. Academic student union community? Close, it's close, it's close. Do you know what the ASUC does on campus?  Can you think of a better acronym for ASUC? Apple's Smell, and then Camp. No, yeah, that was good. Those were just random words. It seems to me that feelings about the ASUC are pretty clear, even if the institution itself is not. Maybe one day we'll understand exactly what this institution does for us, but until then, we're still broadcasting from a basement underneath Hirshpool. Thank you for joining us here on Variable News. I'm Ashlyn LaPourier-Ressie, and we'll see you next time.


Very quick demonstration on the effective ferro vod for the antenna, there's a lay-in receiver here, ferro vod, so we've just changed station very quickly, there's my elastic point, there you go, it's inside of the handle, it's going to use it to push the rugby, so we have one station, two station, there's another station, there's another station, yeah we like that, I think we're on the verge of two extra stations there, the torquey one, unless that's, that's where we started, the effects of a ferro vod, so going through, that's it, that's all I wanted to say, bye.


Here we are in part 7 then and that means it's time to show you Duplicating and also introduce you to the rotate tool. So we have our original wall here We need to make sure it's selected and we're going to duplicate this So the way to do this from the menus is if we go to edit up here And then we just go about just over halfway down You'll see that duplicate there is listed and it shows you the keyboard shortcut for this is control and D Which is what I'll be using moving forward because control and D is much quicker than going into their menus and When we duplicate you actually in the viewport won't see That the duplicate is there what you will see is that the name here changes So when it duplicates something you'll have the duplicate selected. So let's click on duplicate them So you see the viewport doesn't really look any different but now instead of wall we have wall one selected, which is good So to separate these two because they're currently sitting right on top of each other I'm going to put my move tool on and I'll just bring this in To the center of the room so that I can now see that I've got my two copies I'm happy to keep the name at wall one because I know it's a wall and it's a copy of the original So that's fine, but the direction this wall is facing is not particularly useful We need it to rotate by 90 degrees The appropriate tool for this is of course the rotate tool which is the final of the three main tools over here So we'll turn that on from here. You can of course press the e key, which is the keyboard shortcut Now that I've clicked on each of these I will probably be sticking to the keyboard shortcuts from now on So here's what we need to do We're going to rotate this round either 90 degrees this way or you can go minus 90. It doesn't really matter And if you have a look over here as you're rotating you'll see when you're getting close So we can go there, but the problem is it's going to be almost impossible to get it to exactly 90 degrees So you can just type that number in and press enter and That will mean that that is now rotated Exactly 90 degrees, but I want to undo that and show you another way What you can also do whilst rotating is hold the J key on the keyboard And if I rotate now you'll see that it snaps to 15 degree increments This can be really useful when you just kind of working in a freeform way in the viewport So I'm just going to rotate that round and that's 90 degrees exactly the final thing to do in this step It's just to get it lined up so this time what I'm going to do is Just hold X on my keyboard And you'll see that that shows that this snapping up here grid snapping is going to happen And if I move side to side what I'm doing is I'm snapping it to the center of the grid and Because this is now lined up here I'm happy that that position is in the center of the grid and you can see that that makes sense and Then I'll just kind of freehand move this back to about there So those walls intersect a little bit and that there's no gap between the floor and the wall So let's just select everything and we can see how that's coming together So that will do it for this step in the next step I'm going to be setting you your first challenge of this tutorial So I hope you're feeling ready to be challenged.

Good morning everybody There's no load for us today. So we slept at our yard This last night hoping that they would have something for us first thing this morning All they had for us was an email saying that they had nothing for us. So We're going home That's the good news. The bad news is we're not working, but I'll take it. Let's go home. Maybe they'll have something for us tomorrow So I decided I'm gonna take all my bedding home, even if I'm just home for the day Give it a wash. I always like the smell of clean laundry in my truck. I love it So I wash my bedding quite often. I Have to replace my sheets more often than some people I think because they wear out I'm also an aggressive sleeper apparently. I wear sheets out really quickly Put that in my laundry bag here. We're good to go You want to go home diesel You'd like to go home Put that in the back of the pickup and ready to go. I received this as a gift recently too. It's a My own little bean to cup a little single cup coffee maker Stuff to unpack it and figure out how to use it yet Stuff for my fridge. You gotta go into the fridge at home. Well diesel, what do you think? Time to go home. What do you think? Air freshener And maybe get this truck detailed again. Oh Oh, oh looks like we do have one Nice the masks are attacking it though Thanks. Oh, I need to I need to clean up this truck so bad Very soon. Very soon. Got a couple of things we want to get done at home I'll talk to you about them today or tomorrow. Yeah, probably you'll probably know by the time you hear this But just in case I want to make sure that Brett is there when I tell you guys everything But we got a few big things going on right now once those big things are over and the dust settles then I'm gonna get this truck detailing and treat myself to a nice Clean interior pickup. Well, I sat here for about another hour yet begging for work It's hard to get out on a Thursday Because anywhere I go is usually about a two-day drive and nobody unloads on Saturdays So if I would leave today, I get wherever I'm going on Saturday and I have to sit till Monday anyways So even Friday's are hard to get out unless if you're going three days, right? Because then Saturday Sunday Monday excuse me but Yeah, I guess I'm just going home. I'm guessing I'll probably be home now until like Saturday Sunday and That would make more sense because then wherever I'm going I can deliver on a Monday That's too bad I've been trying to keep busy because I got some time off coming at the end of this month Which we'll talk about a little bit later or in a separate video coming out very soon if you haven't seen it already I don't know what I'm gonna release that probably today Yeah, you'll probably know already what I'm talking about but just in case I Have some time off coming at the end of this month and when I book specific days off It's it's sort of messes up the schedule Because they don't want to send me too far because then I won't get back in time for my schedule time off, right? So I got to do a bunch of short runs and if they don't have anything short available sometimes. There's just nothing available I'm just stuck at home and that's why I don't like booking specific days off I like just taking time off whenever it works and suits the schedule It is what it is Let's go home. Shall we okay? I got these for them. There's some plain ones in here, right? Yeah, okay More the better. There you go Thank you Diesel you got a Tim bit man.  Can you sit? I know you're all excited. Can you sit? No, Tim Hortons is way too exciting. I get it. I get it.  Good boy We got all the way to Timmy's And realized, huh, I left my passport and wallet in the truck. I Got my driver's license with me, but I don't got my most important stuff with me I usually keep that stuff very close to me and I'm not usually this far apart from it I don't like not being with my passport at all times because that is sort of like my lifeline. That is what Keeps food on the table, you know, I got to be able to keep moving so We got to go all the way back I don't know how long I'm gonna be home. Like I said, I still don't have a plan The plan right now is that there is no plan. So just in case of that plan turns out to Further itself into a longer no plan I want to make sure I have all my important documents and stuff with me at home All the way back for this It's actually all my valuable stuff, the GPS This is like almost a thousand dollars to replace that Satellite radio. I don't even know how much it is to replace these now. I don't want to know Very important documents. I got my passport, my passcard, my birth certificate Very important and this is like all my like Cards that I don't need every day and gift cards this and that it's also got my key card to get into the yard here and all of my Payment cards my driver's license and everything that I need to carry with me more often I keep in here. This has those protective layers in there so that the people the scammers can't walk past you and Steal your money tap those cards right so it's got that's a protective wall. That's where I keep all my I shouldn't be telling you all this I trust you I trust you Apparently, I don't trust myself That all there that all there that all there Okay Now we got to go all the way back home diesel My bad, buddy I'm isn't with me. Hey be nerf. No, mom is still at work. Mom's still at work. Hey, buddy. Oh I love the way I get greeted at this house. Oh It's all good to be home so good to be home Good boy Good boy Watch out weasel here.  Save your toy. Get him get him What don't you be here? Come on this way. Oh, thank God first things first Get the laundry washed just in case they call me in tonight yet and I have to leave right away I want to make sure you have clean laundry First thing every time you get home always be ready So all this house is looking a little different People are gonna start piecing together what the news is I don't know man. We're gonna wait till Britt gets home That's looking pretty bear in here Look at this What we got in here? Oh That shelf is bare also Everything's looking pretty empty diesel is going on you think they can figure it out yet if you can't figure it out, man I don't know what what you what you're thinking me Weiner Why are you following me around usually you don't pay any attention to me is it cuz I was going for a couple of days Did you miss me? You don't tell anyone. Okay. This is a secret mean you don't tell anyone Okay, secretly. I love you. Okay, but if anybody asks I hate your guts good boy so, yeah, uh I'm probably gonna do a live stream today when Britt gets home may as well so that you get the news before you See this so you already know But if in the event that you haven't seen the live stream Well, I guess you should pay attention to later on the vlog When she gets home, so I've got some work to do what do you think big Frank? What do you think buddy? Looks like we might have to mow the lawn That means we get to drive our tractor Yeah My lovely wife My beautiful wife left me a honey to-do list Let's see Take out garbage Change couch covers blanket and pillowcase to Wash bed sheets wash dog bowls. She already did one for me Thank you very much Fill dog water vacuum put away dish water dish washer Dish dishwasher, it's very hard to put away the dish water, but I will put away the dish It's already put away. It's right there. I think she means put away the dishes in the dishwasher Put away the dishes Fill dog water Okay, takes a little while you'll be surprised how fast the dogs go through this When they're all like running around outside and having a great time and That goes in like a couple days Two days gone lunch for me today leftovers oh Yeah, oh that looks so good. I think this was it's called fajita The heater bowl fajita bowl. I think oh, it's so good Oh making a mess making a mess. See he's got a little filter in there filters out all the bad stuff Even though we have a very expensive filtration system on this house that we put in It was top of the line best we could get our water is from our own well comes Directly out of the ground and the water is good to drink directly out of the ground as much as you want All you got to do is pay for the electricity to pump it out But we put on this really expensive water filtration system It's down in the dungeon. This is where we put all the people we don't like It's also the dog hosts for when I'm bad So far, I haven't had to spend any night down here yet. Just saying I'm a good boy All right, so oh shoot. Can you see it? I'm gonna need to get the flashlight. Okay, so It's where the softener so it goes It's the water What's this called again? Oh, you know what?  I have never run out of hot water in this house. That thing's huge. That's at least Five and a half feet tall like for the center. How many gallon it is? Dun-dun-dun-dun Can't see it. Oh 270 liters Never run out of water in this house before and that's another water filter there. That's a brand new water pump That's the pump that my dad installed for us because the old one Conked out on us and then hold this mess in here. That's the crawl space under the house Spooky right I don't like being down here. Let's go. Let's leave the underworld down there I like living up here with the living But that's our new water system. It was actually quite expensive my brother-in-law works at a company that sells them so we knew what to get and Man, did it make a difference in our water. It made it like it was already good now. It's just you don't need bottled water He got this right here. It's perfect and it cost enough it better be perfect All right There we go and automatically goes down there fills up the bowl for them and that's the date that we put on there That's when we have to change the filter so we don't forget We've got all those filters up here. I think what do we got here? We got masks masks here there Oops my whole bag of filters Just a little square of things pedestal water throne thingy right here Come and get it. Anybody want some fresh water got some fresh water right here I don't think you can get through that way weasel anybody else want some fresh water Water the lake water. Come on Chevy. Come here. Come here, bud. I got some fresh water for you Figure it out boys. You're smart go around that way. There you go Come on down Yeah Check it out. Hey chef. You're very welcome. I am a kind and generous king Yeah, whatever man All right, so bill dog water check Okay Let's go to this one Let's go to different one.  None of these are very fun. Okay What do you think big guy? Fresh couch covers Not bad. Oh Blanket and pillowcase, too Huh Would be this stuff. I just folded it up nicely.  I Heard a lot of guys don't do their own laundry. What are you 12? I'm just I'm just bugging you. I'm just bugging you If you have a wife that does all of your laundry for you Be thankful. Okay. Be thankful. I actually don't let my wife do my laundry. I do all mine my own I lived on my own for so many years before I even met her. I just got used to it I have my own system.  Don't mess with my laundry All right, I'll do my own laundry some people Well, some wives actually like doing all the laundry for the whole family Maybe it's just easier to do it that way, especially if you got kids Just throw it all together get it all done at once that makes sense, but for my lifestyle I'm home every now and then gone every now and then I have my own like laundry like that blue bag that I carry everywhere I've got my whole life in it all my laundry and everything. I just take care of my own stuff That's just the way I do it Time to go mow the lawn It needs a good cut already look at that X There you are Am I pretty you beautiful you beautiful one. Yes, I guess I should make sure it's full of gas first You can add a little bit of primo in there There's always something to do always There's never a day. We're like wow I have nothing to do I haven't had a day like that since I was like 13 Those were the days This thing sure takes a lot more fuel than the old more I still have the old more I'm gonna use it in the future yet For like bush work when I want to cut down long grass and stuff I'm gonna keep this more nice for mowing the nice lawn, but the other mower Still have it in the corner over there. You can see there's more Packed stuff in here yet. Yeah, I'm gonna use that more in the future Got a plan for it. Oops. I want to get too rough now Here we go. I'll talk to you when I'm done. I feel much better about myself now Something about having a nice lawn is tied to a man's self-esteem. I Don't know it just makes me feel better about myself when the lawn is cut But this vlog is getting pretty long already I know some of you want like double length and you keep asking for more and more. I appreciate that But I try to keep them manageable It's that you don't have to spend the whole day watching But hey, there's gonna be another vlog tomorrow. So if you like this one, don't worry We'll have another one up tomorrow. Don't forget to subscribe so you don't miss it and hit the bell so that you get notified when I release it I'll see you tomorrow everybody. Britt's working late tonight. So she'll be in tomorrow's video. See you later
