Mr. William Bennett, Reverend Peter Vaghi, Congressman James Oberstar, Congressman Frank Guarini, Jack Valenti, Senator Patrick Leahy, Ambassador Ronaldo Petrigliani, Mrs. Petrigliani, Judge Anthony Celebrisi, Congressman Sanatra, ladies and gentlemen, escorting the President and Mrs. Reagan this evening, Congressman Peter Rodino, Congressman Frank Ananzio, Geno F. Palucci, Frank D. Stella, Ambassador John Volpe. Ladies and gentlemen, the President of the United States and Mrs. Reagan. Now, would you remain standing, because we're going to have the national anthems of the United States of America and Italy played by the Cotta Bagnieri Band of Italy. Would you remain standing, please? We're indeed grateful tonight to have with us a very distinguished priest who also happens to be the Archbishop of Washington. He will deliver for us the invocation, Archbishop James Hickey of Washington, D.C. My brothers and sisters, let us pray. Lord God of our fathers, creator and sustainer of us all, with joy we call upon your name this evening. We give thanks for the Italian-American heritage which we celebrate in this festive gathering. We remember with gratitude the rich contributions which Italian-Americans have made to every facet of American life, to academics, industry, government, the arts, and to the religious life of our country. Bless, Lord, those who have gone before us and strengthen us to follow the example of courage, diligence, warmth, and generosity which they have set. Help us, Lord, to continue to preserve this heritage of so many of our fellow Americans whose roots are in the blessed land of Italy. We ask your blessing upon that land so dear to our hearts. We ask also, Lord, that you bless these United States in special and particular fashion. Bless our President and Mrs. Reagan and all those who serve our country. Be with us now, Lord, in the friendship of this evening. Show us your gracious kindness in the bread we break. Show us your wisdom in our conversation and in the addresses and presentations of this occasion. Be with us, Lord, to guide and sustain us tonight and always. God Almighty, in the depths of our hearts is your Holy Spirit. Spirit of wisdom and intellect. Spirit of advice and strength. Spirit of science and piety. It fills the spirit of your Holy fear in the name of the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit. Amen. Please be seated. Gee, a senator from New Mexico. My job is to make sure that... My job is to make sure we get all of these wonderful people an opportunity to be heard tonight and that we all have a good time. But I wanted to tell you when I announced to my family that I was being honored to be master of ceremonies at this dinner, I told them that it would be a very exciting evening because we have as our guests the most famous man in America. And my wife said, oh, you mean the president? And I answered, oh, no. I was referring to Frank Sinatra. After all, after all, presidents stay in power no more than eight years. Frank has been in power for 50 years and Old Man River is a quitter compared to Frank. Mr. Frank Sinatra, we welcome you and it's our privilege to honor you here tonight. I'm Pete Domenici. We're going to have a program tonight that is befitting our 10th anniversary and it gives me a great deal of pleasure. The name Horatio Alger comes to mind when you think of this man. But ask him the true meaning of success and he would say that success is what one does for others. Italian Americans. But to improve our ability to influence public policy that affected the quality of life for all Americans. I think with the firm conviction that the best way that we can celebrate in 19th recovery of America by Columbus will be through activities of lasting significance in the fields of culture for all Americans. Those of European heritage as well as the blacks named cited as possible candidates for national office and the Supreme Court. Being one of our honorees and for gracing this wonderful event it is with the most profound pleasure and pride that I now perform the task of introducing to you our principal speaker. It is a joyous task that I have performed several times before at these functions and other events. Regardless of party affiliation regardless of whether we classify ourselves liberals and conservatives there is one point that all Americans must agree upon. The Honorable Ronald Reagan has brought great dignity and sense of national moral purpose to the office of the presidency. Political science scientists had written for two decades before your term Mr. President that the presidency has become unmanageable that no man, even the president could have the political skills and philosophy to shape our national purpose. No one writes those articles anymore not since the presidency of Ronald Reagan. Mr. President you have given America the wonderful realization that we are masters of our own destiny that we can make our own futures. This is a wonderful gift and the American people truly love you for it. In fact I sometimes think the only other person with a comparable place in our nation's heart is your charming and wonderful wife Nancy Reagan. And now ladies and gentlemen for the son of an immigrant it is with great pride and honor and I am privileged to present to you the President of the United States of America Ronald Reagan. Thank you. Thank you very much. Thank you. Thank you very much. Thank you Frank very much. Reverend clergy, Mr. Chairman, Senator, the distinguished guest here at the head table and Mr. Ambassador I assure you the friendship between our two countries is unshakable. And to all of you Nancy and I are most pleased to be allowed to be here to join in a tribute to a very dear friend of ours the man you're honoring tonight. You know anytime someone stands up after a luncheon or a dinner or someplace to be a speaker I think the first thing that crosses their mind is how to find something to establish a bond or a relationship with the audience. Now I don't know whether the fact that when I'm at the ranch riding I'm a straddle of an Italian Periani saddle qualifies. My riding style was learned in the United States Cavalry but that riding style was learned by the United States Cavalry from the Royal Cavalry of Italy back toward the turn of the century when a captain Capriely had designed and invented that style of riding. Or maybe I could I could say that in 1981 I signed the legislation that gave the federal charter to the National Italian American War veterans for the first time that this had been done and in 1984 they made me a lifetime member but sometimes I wonder if on an occasion like this and a night like this if we ever stop to think how unique we as Americans really are how unique is an evening such as this in all the world. We're all Americans but all of us have a hyphen before that word American. We have come here either ourselves or by way of our parents or by way of our grandparents or even a more distant heritage from every part of the world and here people from every corner and part of the world have created a new breed of human called an American but we've all kept our particular hyphen as you and the National Italian American Foundation demonstrate here tonight there's really no other country on earth that is quite like this this country in that regard we are proud to be Americans but we hold the lands of our heritage still within our hearts and so we keep the hyphen when we speak of ourselves our beginnings and what we are we have proven in this country more than any other spot in the world in this great melting pot we have proven the brotherhood of man simply by being the Americans that we are the man that we honor tonight is a classic example of the American story a lad growing up in New Jersey modest or even humble beginnings but who realized that in this land opportunity is available to all who will reach out and try to take hold of it and has risen to the very pinnacle of success in his chosen profession you know connection with this Frank I can't resist telling a story about a character in Hollywood an actor back before you and I had gotten to Hollywood he was only an actor long enough to save money so that he could go to Milan and study opera because opera was his aspiration and finally the day came that he could afford to go he studied there for a period and then one night was invited to sing at La Scala a very spiritual fountain head of opera they were doing Pagliacci and when he sang the beautiful aria Vesti La Juba the applause from the orchestra seats and he was so thunderous and so sustained that the opera couldn't go on until he repeated the aria as an encore and again the same thunderous sustained applause and again he sang Vesti La Juba and this went on till finally he motioned for quiet and he tried to tell them how full his heart was that he should be so received on this his first time on the operatic stage but he said I have sung Vesti La Juba now nine times my voice is gone I cannot sing it again and a voice from the balcony said you do it till you get it right well Frank started out doing it right but there's a secret side to the man you honor tonight and my I have to say that I am risking our friendship which is precious to me but I'm going to touch upon that secret which he guards even angrily at times and so jealously when I was the governor of California I received a letter one day from a woman who lived in the Palm Springs area she was a widow and the mother of a school boy small boy and dependent on welfare and somehow through the bureaucracy welfare benefits had been canceled and she had been denied this that was so necessary to her living and she did what a few people have done and I always encourage and that was having exhausted all the bureaucratic channels she wrote to me and I had a bird dog on my staff that I used for messages of that kind and he came back to me with the report that she was deserving she belonged on welfare she was entitled to that and so we set the bureaucratic machinery right cured the bureaucratic bungle but in her letter also it was just in the period before Christmas and she told me that there would be no Christmas in her home she told me what a pain this was to her about unable to do what she would like to do for her little boy he was the only boy she said in her school and she went on about a few things not really self-pitying but just telling me the facts of her life well as I say we had solved the one problem but I picked up the phone and called a fellow that did a little bit of singing show business and I told him about the letter and I started to read it and I'd only read about a half a page and he said send me the letter and I did well it was sometime after Christmas that I received another letter from this widowed mother and she told me that the day before Christmas a delivery man had come to her door laden with gifts packages for her son for herself including a bicycle she said he was wearing dark glasses he thought he looked vaguely familiar but then she found a scrap of a sales slip that was still affixed to some of the wrappings on the packages when she disposed of those and she asked me could it really have been and I was able to communicate with her and say yes that sandy claws disguised as a delivery man was Frank Sinatra and I'm not daring to look at him because as I say he sort of angrily hides that knowledge from anyone but there are hundreds of examples of just the same kind that I have mentioned here it made me think of a time again before our time in show business when it seems that someone in the entertainment world had done something that affronted the public morals and the press had not only teed off on him the people in the theatrical world and the tone of their criticism was that people in the entertainment world were performers were childish in their ways and their attitudes complete children in their way of living and it remained for Irving S. Cobb the noted columnist of the time to come to their rescue and he wrote if this be true and if it also be true that when the curtain goes down and we almost approach the gates we will approach the gates bearing in our arms that which we have given in life and he said the people of show business will march in the procession carrying in their arms the pure pearl of tears the gold of laughter the diamonds of stardust they spread on what might otherwise have been a rather dreary world and when at last all reached the final stage door the keeper will say open let my children in and now that I've stuck my neck out this far I just want to tell you if what Irving S. Cobb said be true then no one in the procession will be carrying a bigger armful of good deeds than Frank Sinatra Francis Albert I just want to tell you I am granting you full amnesty complete forgiveness for the fact that you have replaced all the Irish tenors that once were so predominant in show business thank you all God bless you thank you very much Mr. President thank you so much well Peter Rodino the first of our associations public service awards we stand for in our pride and our tremendous commitment to our country and our heritage he is unequaled one of the strengths of this great American system somehow seems almost to be on the one hand accidental on the other may be providential is that this political system has produced people of extraordinary talent who have happened to find their way to be at the right place at critical times years have come from founds such as Abraham Lincoln from a little town of Springfield Illinois and Franklin Roosevelt from the aristocratic patroon family of the Hudson Valley in that tradition is Peter Rodino from Newark New Jersey ladies and gentlemen I give you the congressman Peter Rodino thank you Senator Domenici this excellence Archbishop Hickey Reverend clergy Mr. President Mrs. Reagan our distinguished guest of honor an awardee Mr. Francis Albert Sinatra and Mrs. Sinatra distinguished ambassador from the Republic of Italy members of congress members of the Italian American national foundation friends and ladies and gentlemen first let me thank you Senator Domenici for your very gracious remarks and to express my gratitude my heartfelt gratitude to the national Italian American foundation for the establishment of its scholarship and in the name of my late wife Mariana no gift nor honor could be more heartfelt nor more deeply cherished I salute the foundation on this its 10th anniversary for continuing to be the catalyst in bringing together so many Americans of Italian origin not only to celebrate with pride our common heritage but also to spur them on to make ever greater contributions to the America we love so dearly and to recognize and to honor them for those contributions to our American way of life tonight we honor such a man and we are filled with pride because of the fact that he is of a common bond and heritage we have a special pride but because of his extraordinary artistry and the magic of his song he is one also a special place in the hearts of men and women young and old the world over he has been acclaimed as an artist without peer a superstar whose preeminence in the world of arts and entertainment has earned him the title of chairman of the board there is however a lesser known side of the story of the young man who came from Hoboken it was best told in a recent article that I happened upon it recounted an event that took place at the White House several years ago the man who we honor was a guest of the president and he was asked to sing by the president some of his favorite songs and graciously he did and then he concluded his rendition with a song entitled the house I live in ending it with the stirring words that is America for me president Nixon stood up and led the applause and then he said that was wonderful Frank we are all honored to hear you sing that was deeply moving I wonder if you would sing it again as an encore Sinatra was visibly touched and replied Mr. President I grew up in Hoboken when I was a boy I never thought I would be standing here in the White House singing in the White House talking with the president of the United States well maybe that really is what America means to me what America is all about and the story goes on to say that Sinatra's eyes moistened and filled up but he got control of himself and finished with a ringing encore of the house I live in everyone in that White House audience was touched and moved I know I was there and I remember too the boy who came from Newark New Jersey across the river from Hoboken and I shared that feeling with you Frank and I found it hard not to cry my friends while we like millions of others applaud and appreciate excellence as an artist and a superstar tonight we want to honor him for something even beyond that and the president touched upon it in that story that he told you a while ago we want to honor him for the countless and untold acts of generosity and charity that have touched the lives of so many for his reaching out to the many to the needy the sick the less fortunate in our society to whom he has brought light out of darkness and hope out of despair we honor him therefore Mr. Francis Albert Sinatra for a lifetime of humanitarian service and ladies and gentlemen tonight we present want to present this for a lifetime of humanitarian service to the man who did it all his way Mr. Francis Albert Sinatra Thank you Mr. Rodino Mr. President Nancy clergy gentlemen of the congress honored guests ladies and gentlemen good evening to you and thank you for coming this evening I don't have very much to say tonight about this because I've never been known to be a great speaker sometimes I speak and it doesn't come out right but before I do anything I'd like to make a statement regarding the president my president your president Mr. President I have heard many great performers as you have do Shakespeare read wonderful books on recordings and so on and so forth and I have been dealing in theatrical people like you have for many years and I have for many years but I should like to say publicly that one of the great performances I ever witnessed in my life was just a few days ago with one of the best moves I've ever seen a human being make and the best retort that I ever heard from a human being in the most unique way when you were asked a question as you got in the car and you turned quietly and said never I want to thank you that statement will go down in American history for a thousand years because it said to everybody enough is enough and now I'd like to talk about two of the greatest Italian American people I've ever known in my life or four I should say my paternal parents grandparents and my maternal grandparents who had the good sense to leave Italy and come here by doing so the result was my mom and dad and then I was the result from them and I couldn't have been happier and I'll never be happier there's no way I could be as happy as I am today in my life it is fruitful it is satisfying I have many good friends I have wonderful family and just fantastic I couldn't ask for any thank God for all of these good things that have happened to me and it all began with four immigrants who came to Ellis Island probably got pushed around but they still made it anyway because that's the history of that unfortunate piece of land and I should like just to tell you a few things about my life particularly let's begin with my mother who was really my president all my life when I was a kid nobody else had anything to say but my mother my mother was a kind lady she was very involved in politics ever since I was a little boy I can remember that and she was very very democratic in a sense of politics so much so that she was honored one time at Trenton, New Jersey by Governor A. Harry Moore and the entire New Jersey Senate and all of the members of the government because on an election day on the streets in Hoboken, New Jersey she convinced the Republican committee man who was the only Republican vote in the area to vote Democratic I take an oath to God I think she got him a little bomb with a little red wine and he did it and by the way he was never heard from again and they brought it to Trenton and gave her a plaque of some type and I remember that I was about eight or nine years old and I was so proud of her and she did now she got it until I found out later I said that's terrible what you did she said that's the game son that's the way it's played you know and all of her life she's been progressive she would have made Gloria Steinem look like a nun if she had been around these days she was really a woman's liberal she wasn't in there all the time and I adored what she did because I began to learn about growth and life from my mother that was who was such a gracious man a wonderful man quiet, reserved well he had to be I think when she was around most of the time anyway but remember that I was the only child in our family unfortunately because of a a damage at the time of birth she couldn't have any more children and I was the apple of their eye obviously and my father was as much loved me as much as any other parent could but he never knew how to say it he was a man of very few words and he taught me other things he taught me how to be a deeply religious man as my mother was and between the two of them I was very very fortunate to have parents like these two people and my mother she at one time no I can't tell this too sad I'm sorry I can't tell that story I had something I want to say it would move me much too much what I want to say is that tonight is a very very special night for me you know I've been given awards several times in my life but this award comes from you might say I think of people as my family in a sense because we are related I shall continue to do what I can for underprivileged people and to do my work the best I know how even if a new Irish tenor comes along I'll give him let him go on ahead of me you know and and I will continue to appreciate your belief in me that's the word I was looking for because without that without belief in any of us who do a public kind of life it's empty it comes up with nothing and I'd like to thank you gentlemen all of you who made this all possible for me for this lifetime achievement award it means a big thing to a kid who started out in Hoboken singing in in the pool parlors and saloons when my father had a bar he had a piano that was a Nickelodeon he put the nickel in it and the roller would play and I was about 11 years old or so and I remember the song was called honest and truly and I had a voice was like a siren way up there you know honest and truly I am in love with you and some of the guys would pick me up and sit me up in the piano and I sang along with the piano and then they give me a dime and I thought one day what a great racket this is I got to get into this it's got to make me be some more money as I get a little older that wasn't exactly the beginning of my interest in music but it wasn't long after that that I found out that I wanted to get into music recently I was honored by a university in my hometown Stevens Institute of Technology where I had wanted to go to school I had shown some signs of sketches of bridges and tunnels and things like that and my dad said why don't you follow it by the way one thing he always wanted me to do was to have a formal education I think it's the only time I ever disappointed my father and his in my life was that I didn't do that I went against his will and I went left home and went into New York and got into the music business and nothing happened since so what the hell but I was honored by the school and I thought about him that day I thought about him very much that day and I hope that he had seen me receive even the honorary diploma and I quietly I remember I didn't say it in my acceptance speech but I said quietly I got it dad and not much else just to say thank all of you here tonight thank our president for taking time to come and share it with me equally equally meaningful to your award is the company we share tonight members and friends of the Italian American foundation so many of us are blessed with what we have at the best of all worlds is really what we have I mean to be the children of ancestors who talked with Dante Giotti Galileo and Da Vinci Michelangelo and other giants who defined our past and we to be the parents in this cradle of liberty whose own children will define the future blessed are we every one of us every single one of us blessed to be the fruits of antiquity and the promises of tomorrow and thank you for creating such a night that we could all be together and love one another and may we live to do it again and very soon God bless you all and thank you


Thank you very much, Professor Heralt, and good afternoon. I'm very honored to be here, the eve of the Irish presidency. And I think it's a topical subject, even though, formally speaking, there is no particular role for the presidencies in the area of foreign relations. But indeed, we always interact with the presidency on quite a number of issues when it comes to foreign relations. Now, let me say a few words about our experience of the implementation of the Lisbon Treaty. The UN member states have become a diplomatic force in their own right, at least for policy issues that require patient diplomacy. As seen from the outside, the EU is an aspiring superpower, albeit a soft, slow-moving one with fuzzy edges. The EU foreign policy representative has emerged as a substantial figure in international relations. Now she's a commission vice president, so the EU is better able to deliver on its foreign policy promises. So does it sound like a nice account of the last three years to you? But it's not. Because that's a quote from a paper called EU 2010, An Optimistic Vision of the Future by Charles Grant, written and published in 2000. So there we are, 12 years later. And now we can look back at the three years into the Lisbon Treaty and two years into the effective functioning of the European election service. It's quite interesting to see that, I mean to realize, in fact, that the Lisbon Treaty was supposed to be the foreign policy treaty. That was at least what Mark Leonhard has said about it when it was still being negotiated. And yet now in the current context, the foreign policy is no way slipping off the agenda. We can see it definitely at the level of heads of state and government. They have some other matters to deal with, and they are doing now that as we speak. They were doing that in Brussels. So the treaty has raised certain expectations, and now we are struggling to satisfy them. On top of that, given the context of the financial crisis, I think it's the worst thinkable moment to create a new diplomatic service. And we all know why. The crisis is quite profound. And it felt hard here in Ireland. And President van Rompuy, the President of European Council, has said that in fact, it's a variety of crises in plural, a banking, fiscal, and competitiveness crisis. And the issue of financial crisis and continues to dominate the agenda. So we are faced with a little bit of a paradox here. Then a foreign policy treaty giving us new tools enters into force. And yet we seem to develop rather less attention to foreign policy, being preoccupied with domestic and economic issues. At the same time, there is a lot of foreign policy challenges around us. We should also look at ourselves. This is a very European attitude. We tend to be a bit introvert and very self-critical. And traditionally, the EU has always spent a lot of time dealing with itself. We look at the whole period of the European Convention and the negotiations on the future, the Constitution First and the Lisbon Treaty. We spend almost 10 years dealing with ourselves. And in the meantime, the world has changed. And we only realize that when the new treaty entered into force. And then we woke up in the new world with what the tectonic policy shifts have already occurred. But of course, the world has changed. It is more complex, less stable. And there was a lot of security challenges around us. So let's try to walk through them very, very briefly. First of all, the evolving developments in our southern neighborhood, whether we call it Arab Spring or something else, it doesn't really matter. But it's true. I mean, it's not a fairy tale. It's a book of history. And the events in Libya, in Syria, now in Gaza have not gone in fact on the whole regions. There are all those linkages to other hotspots in Iran or the whole Sahel region, which has been heavily affected by the knock-on effect of the Libyan crisis. Well, the Iranian nuclear file dominates the security agenda. And it's the top priority of the high representative, Cathy Eshin, who's been leading the international legal sessions to so-called three-plus-three format for the last two years. And there were talks on that earlier this week in Brussels. There is still some unfinished business in the Balkans. I mean, NATO is still there in First of All. So are we with the police mission, the largest ever European civilian mission. We are still present in Bosnia. The wounds of the war have not healed yet. And one tweet can have a major impact on the situation in the Balkans. There is a European perspective on the countries, but it requires more than that to maintain stability. Another priority there for the high representative is the Serbia-Kosovo talks. And I think it's only us, the EU, who can really act as the honest broker between the two parties. And this is very high on our policy agenda. Going to the east, we're still faced with a number of frozen conflicts between Armenia and Azerbaijan, Transnistria, and Georgia. We could go all around the world, but I will only make one more remark about the north. The north seems stable. But if you look at the Arctic and the potential geostrategic importance of the Arctic region, you can see that the situation is heating up. And this is only partly linked to the climate change, making competition for resources in this area more plausible than ever before. I mentioned that the world around us has changed. And the BRIC countries have become a foreign policy factor to be reckoned with. Also in the multilateral context, if we just think about the role in the UN, G20, or the international financial institutions, in particular the World Bank and the IMF, engaging with the partner is a must. And this is the second foreign policy priority of the high representative. First is the engagement with the neighborhood, south and east, and the Balkans. And second, building up relations with the partners, with the new strategic partners. Threats are coming also from other than geographic directions. We are faced with a lot of new threats, only to mention the cyber security. We are all living in network-centric societies. And these make us all very much vulnerable. There are climate change-related conflicts. I mentioned the Arctic, but let's take the Darfur-Sudan conflict, which was probably the first ever war in history, fought over access to water caused by side effects of climate change. We could say that the Middle East and Central Asia may come next. And this is all pretty close to home. But of course, there is some tension building up in the east, in particular in the south and east China Sea. We also faced with the effects of the so-called American pivot to Asia and the Pacific. The Americans really expect the EU to become a security provider, rather than a security consumer alone. And this is the exact wording of the US strategic guidance that was released in January this year. In other words, they just expect us to take care of our own neighborhood and to be able to deliver on this role of a security provider. So giving the complex environment, security environment, what are we going to do? That's the famous Lenin question, what to do? Let's just go home and close the door. And that cannot be the answer. First of all, we should be serious about our assets and comparative advantages that we do have as Europeans. The European foreign policy is value-based. It may be a restraining factor in some situations. But of course, compromising on our values would be an act of self-denial. I know for Ireland, it's an important consideration. And Ireland is rightly proud of its ethical approach to foreign policy with regard to human rights, with regard to disarmament or development. There is a lot of demand for Europe out there. We sometimes tend to underestimate it. The third states reach out to us. They want to work with us. They want to partner with us. So there is a positive perception, albeit a bit more nuanced now because of the euro crisis. And it counterweights this usual self-flagalation of the Europeans. In a way, it reminds me maybe Ireland is a good place to use the parallel of a garage rock band. You have to send them out, let them break through internationally, and only then they are being recognized at home. We are not at that stage yet. But it's sometimes good to ask the others what they think about us. We are still, in terms of absolute numbers, we are also at defence power, the sense that collectively the European Union member states spend roughly 200 billion euros on defence. I know it's a defensive issue here, but nevertheless I would like to say a few words about it, and it's also an area I'm in particular responsible for in the EAS. We are outspending Russia, China and Japan combined, but it doesn't really give us the right bank for our, not a buck, but a euro in this case. We are hopelessly fragmented. And of course, at the same time, the defence spending in countries like Russia and China has been rising for the last years and will continue to do so in the future. So we should not spend more, but we should spend better and should spend better together. And address the fragmentation of demand, and it's true because the demand is purely national, because the national decision-making on defence is on purchasing, is with member states, and supply is fragmented as well. The defence industries operate within national boundaries and they are not really integrated with the single market. I mean, there have been attempts to do so. We have two defence directives, but this is only a very modest beginning. In that context, we really should realise that the missions and operations conducted by the European Union and the framework of the common security and defence policy are making a real contribution to the global peace and security. And we have a global outreach. I mean, we've been, over the last nine years, we've conducted 25 different missions and operations. We usually run eight or nine of them concurrently. Some of them are really role-profile or rather technical capacity-building missions, but nevertheless making an impact. In that regard, I would like to pay tribute to the Irish contribution, because Ireland has participated successfully to many EU operations and has shown excellent leadership. I'd like to pay tribute to General Patrick Nash, who was leading the operation in Chad three years ago, and to Colin Michael Berry, who's still leading the EUTM, which is a training mission, training Somali soldiers in Uganda. So this is an important contribution we make to the world out there. But Europe, as such, it's still a point of reference. I think not only in terms of market access. I mean, European market is still attractive, but also, I think, for many, the Europe is the most liveable place on the planet, and in particular for the rising global middle class. So it's a source of inspiration for many, even though we tend to forget it. We are collectively the largest donor of development and humanitarian aid. Again, the budget, the figures are quite impressive. We are spending €53 billion a year, which is more than a half of the overall, the global budget on development assistance. So there is a real commitment of the Europeans to development. We simply need to be more effective, in particular in times of scarcity, in a way, respect policy choices of our partner countries, but expect them to respect ours. And that's what I call the mutual accountability between partners. Now, what's the essence of the European external action relations, external action as defined by the Lisbon treaty? We call it comprehensive approach, which is one of those typically Brussels buzzwords has become a second religion in Brussels. But if I try to put it simple, in simple terms, as Einstein has said, for every problem there is a solution that is clear and simple and wrong. So there is no one-size-fits-all solution to the foreign policy challenges. But we are quite uniquely placed to make the right combination, to define the right policy mix using different instruments that are at our disposal. So that's the unique selling proposition of the EU. Just to give you an example, what we mean by comprehensive approach. In the OECD context, sometimes they call it the 3D, which is diplomacy, defense, and development. Let's look at the Horn of Africa, a huge vast area, a lot of challenges, piracy, failed states, challenges of development, and lack of governance. There, we're really using all those different instruments in our toolbox in quite an effective manner. First of all, we are there as a political actor. We have a EU special representative, Alex Ronders, who's coordinating our efforts. We're engaging in particular with the new Somali government trying to help them develop the governance of the country. We are still the largest donor of development funding. So our funding for Somalia until 2013 is roughly 400 million euros. We've been supporting financially the largest African, genuinely African peacekeeping operation called AMISM, which is active in Somalia, and they've been engaging quite effectively fighting the extremists of al-Shabaab and freeing different areas of the country. So we've been funding them from our budget. And we are there with the maritime anti-piracy operation, which is also showing results. I just visited the headquarters of this operation, which is in Northwood, just outside London, a few days ago, and I've been there for three years, four years now, it's quite impressive just to give you some numbers. Last year in 2011, there were 151 pirate attacks in the Indian Ocean. And it's a critical maritime route for everybody. It's not only a European problem, it's a Chinese, American, Indian, and Australian problem. So we really need, we are in this together. So we had this more than 150 attacks. And as we really moved up and stepped up our engagement in the Indian Ocean, and last year we managed to really disrupt the infrastructure of the pirates on land. Since May this year, there was only one attempt to pirate a ship, so it's quite a difference. But of course, this is fighting pirates at sea, it's not enough, we have to address the root causes of piracy on land, which is lack of governance, lack of government control, and also lack of other job opportunities as piracy is simply a very lucrative business model. So there we need all this very European mix of policy instruments to address these issues, and that's what we call comprehensive approach. That's exactly where the Europeans are in action. The European exchange service fits into the picture. We are an asset. We want to add value to what the member states do bilaterally. The creation of the European exchange service has brought more continuity and consistency in the European foreign policy, not only because we took away something from the rotating presidency, but also because of the genuine setup of the service and the possibility to draw on those different instruments, defense, diplomacy, and development, we can make a difference. We have a global network of 140 delegation, our eyes and ears on the ground, and there we can really build on our competitive edge. We need to be realistic, of course, compared to a diplomatic service of a mid-sized member states, we are relatively small and not very expensive. I mean, there are those myths about the Brussels bureaucracy, but our budget is less than half of the budget of the foreign ministry in France or the UK, and one-twelfth of the State Department budget. Of course, we are not looking for excuses. We also have our weaknesses. We are the new kid on the block. We are still struggling with quite complex procedures. We need to develop a new corporate culture. We're not there yet, but we're making progress. And of course, we're only three years old. The first year of the EAS was very much about its survival rather than anything else. So we are going to look at different structural deficiencies of ourselves next year when we are going to conduct a review, a mandatory review of the European External Action Service, and we should try to refine our mission statement, put more emphasis on the delivery mechanism of the comprehensive approach, as I described it, and more than that. And otherwise, we only need to do three things, consolidate, consolidate, and consolidate, so that we are really an effective foreign policy service. And to conclude, we are, of course, facing the greatest financial crisis in recent history, and we face a more complex and less stable world than ever, and power has shifted, new actors appear, but it's just one more reason to engage more. We need to engage now if you don't want to catch up, spend, want to spend more, most of our time catching up with the others. And I think the greatest risk is not out there. The greatest risk is our own lack of confidence. We are stronger and more effective if we work together, and we should not be, we shouldn't be too shy to look at our own achievements also in the perspective. So it may sound a bit too revolutionary for the current climate, but I can quote Danton, who said, audacity, more audacity, always audacity. And that's what we need in Europe. We need to rethink ourselves, we need to rethink our policies and institutions, and of course, this whole debate in about the European governance, the future, the future model of European integration has already began, but it's now focusing on financial management on economic governance. We shouldn't lose sight of the foreign policy dimension of the way we project Europe abroad. I hope it will not take another 10 years, like the Lisbon Treaty did, but it's certainly worthwhile thinking about the role of Europe in the world. Building on our own clouds, we tend to underestimate. So I'm looking forward to working on these and other subjects with the incoming Irish presidency, and thank you very much for your attention. Thank you very much.

Front bumper parking sensors, no dents or dings on that front bumper, very nice condition. And that grille is an excellent condition as well. Passengers side front fender, no dents or dings on that. And the passengers side front rim is in excellent condition as well. As you go down this side of the truck, take note of how clean the body is, how reflective and mirror like that paint is. We take these HD videos, so if you are far away, or even if you're close by, just cannot make the trip down, but you're still interested in purchasing the truck. You can see the truck, hear the truck, and have confidence in the vehicle that you're looking at before you even get here, so that when you do get here there's absolutely no surprises. Cab's in excellent shape, and that's why we offer the Summit Auto Fastpass option in the upper right hand part of your screen, a link right to our website where you can apply for financing, get pre-approved, see a payment quote, even appraise a trade, all from the comfort of your own home, so that when you do get here, there's absolutely no surprises. Lower rockers look really great as does the frame, and the back rims in pretty nice condition. Only thing I saw, one tiny little scuff right there, but other than that, very nice, and the back tires have about 60% of the tread left. Frame and underbody back here is in great shape too, four wheel disc brakes on all the rams. And as we come around to the back of the vehicle, rear bumpers in great shape, no denser dings than that. It does have a full towing package, which includes a receiver hitch, four pin and seven pin wiring. You get the dual rear exhaust, you can see that diamond black, paint's got just a little bit of sparkle to it. Has the shock down assist tailgate, so that's never going to slam on you. The bed's got a little bit of light duty usage, but it's a truck, that's what happens. Pretty nice condition overall. And as you go down this side of the truck, just as clean as that passenger side, no denser dings on this box. Does have the capitalist fuel fill, which is a nice feature. And for full disclosure, this back rim on this side is in excellent condition, no scuffs or scrapes on that. And as you go down the rest of this side of the truck, no denser dings on the doors, very, very nice condition.

Hi and how are you all today? My name is Priyanka and the question says EBC is a triangle locate a point in the interior of triangle EBC which is equidistant from all the vertices of triangle EBC. Now we should know that the point of concurrency of the perpendicular bisectors of the sides of the triangle is called the circumcentre. It is equidistant from the vertices of triangle and that is given to us as ABC. And the knowledge of this important information is the key idea of this question. So what we are going to do is we will be finding out the perpendicular bisectors of all the sides of the triangle and the point where they need that is the point of concurrency will be a point which is equidistant from all the vertices. Let us proceed on with our solution. Now I will be making a very rough figure over here and telling you all the instructions and that will be your steps of construction. But you will be in your copies making it very neatly with the help of a scale and a compass. The first step is to draw a triangle ABC. Let us have a triangle over here. I am again telling you that this is a rough figure that I will be making to make your understanding more clear with all the steps of construction. Now the second step is to construct the perpendicular bisectors that you know how to construct and you learnt in your seventh and eighth classes of sides let's say A, C and the point where these perpendicular bisectors will meet that will be your point of concurrency. Now for AB taking a centre as B and radius more than half of AB draw an arc here and here. Similarly taking A as a centre and radius more than half of AB draw another two arcs intersecting the previous arcs like this and then join these two points. Similarly draw a perpendicular bisector for C also in the same manner let them intersect at point O. Right now the third perpendicular bisector that will be of BC will also pass through O. So O is the circumcentre of this triangle ABC. Now what you need to do next is you need to join A to O, B to O and C to O. By measurement you will find that the length of AO is equal to OB is equal to OC and this is the point O that is equidistant the vertices C of triangle AB. So O lies on the perpendicular bisectors of AB AC and hence it is equidistant from end points of AB and AC. So this was our required point to be found. This completes our session. Hope you enjoyed it. Make your diagram very neat and clean. This was just a rough diagram to make your understandings of these steps more clear. I hope you enjoyed. Take care. Bye for now.


This year's global risk report has three core cases, testing economic and environmental resilience, digital wildfires in a hyper-connected world, and the dangers of hubris on human health. Each case represents a constellation of risks, and those constellations are identified through an extensive survey process where we reach out to over 1,000 experts worldwide. This year's global risk report I think underlines the fact that risk is interconnected. You can't prevent or forecast these global risks, but what you can do is prepare. When we assess national resilience to global risks, we analyze what we call resilience characteristics. They are robustness, redundancy, and resourcefulness. The second area that we look at is what we call resilience performance, and there we look to evaluate a country's ability to respond and to recover to a future shock. This case is centered on three major global risks. On the economic side, it's that concern around a major systemic financial failure. On the environmental side, it's about failing to adapt to climate change. So what's in the middle? Global governance failure. We have an increasing frequency of extreme weather events, more vulnerability because of where people are, more of the burden being carried by the government, and yet we have government seriously in debt. So there's an increasing need for financial resources to manage risk, but decreasing capacity to do it. So the challenge today for leaders is how to balance this short-term means to fix the economy with the longer-term perspectives and risks that the globe is facing. Digital wildfires are misinformation that's out of control. From the assassination reports on a world leader sparking, oil price rises. Content that's put into the system that actually can lead to clashes or even geopolitical conflicts. Digital misinformation connects to a lot of other risks. It connects to global governance failure by undermining trust. It's connected to cyber attacks spreading rumors, undermining people's trust in markets, in governments, in rules. How do we manage an internet that can give us information at the speed of light, but yet we do not know the veracity of that information? I think if governments, public bodies, institutions follow that route of putting out better quality, better audited, verifiable information, then the risks of digital wildfires will be mitigated. The dangers of hubris on human health, it's about the fact that genetic mutations in bacteria always outpaces human innovation in developing medicines. We have overused the drugs or improperly used some of the drugs, but also we don't have new drugs in the pipeline. So let's take one concrete example. We now have forms of tuberculosis, which are virtually untreatable. Half the people who get infected with these kinds of infections will die. And then for those that are successfully treated, the costs for these are about 100 times higher than what we would normally require to treat a sensitive case of tuberculosis. It is much more than just a medical issue and we really have to move on it in that way. Every risk that draws on our capacity to respond draws down the ability to respond to the next one. The sooner that we start thinking to ourselves what can we do today, the more effective we'll be and we'll do it at a lower cost. The aim of the Global Risk Report is actually to inspire leaders from industry, from government, international organizations, civil society to come together to help improve the state of the world for future generations.


Hello and welcome to the session. In this session we discussed the following question which says evaluate root 5 correct up to 2 places of decimal. Now let's proceed with the solution. We need to find the square root of the number 5. We will find the square root of 5 by long division method. So for this we will write the number 5 here. Since we need to find this value of square root 5 up to 2 places of decimal, so for this we will find the value of square root 5 up to 3 places of decimal and then rounded off to 2 places of decimal. To start with we write the number 5 here, put a decimal. Now since first we will find the square root 5 up to 3 places of decimal so we will put 6 zeros after the decimal. Now we will make pairs of these digits. This is one pair, this is another pair, this is another pair and this digit 5 is left alone. First you need to think of the largest number whose square is equal to or just less than this number 5. We know that 2 square is equal to 4. This is less than 5. So we will take this number 2 as the divisor and also as the quotient and we know that 2 times is 4. We subtract this square from this number 5. We get 1 and now we put this decimal after 5 in the quotient after the digit 0 and we take down the next pair of digits that is 0 0 with 1. Now we double this quotient 2 so we get 4. We write 4 in this divisor with a blank. In this blank we put a digit which will also be taken as the next digit of the quotient after the decimal and this would be chosen in such a way that the product of the new divisor and the digit in this blank is equal to or just less than the new dividend which is 100. Now we know that 42 2 times is 84 which is less than the new dividend that is 100. So we will put the digit 2 in this blank and this 2 will also be put after the decimal in the quotient. Now this 42 2 times is 84. We subtract 84 from 100 we get 16. We take down this next pair of digits 0 0 along with 16. We double the quotient that is we get 44. We put a blank after 44 and again in the same way we choose the digit to be put in this blank and also in the quotient in such a way that the product of this new divisor and the digit would be less than this new dividend that is 1600. Now 443 3 times is 1329 which is less than the new dividend 1600. So we will put the digit 3 in this blank and also in the quotient after the digit 2. So 443 3 times is 1329. We subtract 1329 from 1600 this gives us 271. Now we take down this last pair of digits left with us 0 0 along with 271. Double the quotient which gives us 446 put a blank after 6. Now 4466 6 times is 26796 which is less than the new dividend 2710. So we will put the digit 6 in this blank and also in the quotient after the digit 3. So here we have 26796 and we subtract this form 271 double 0 which gives us 304. Now since we have used all the pairs of the digits form so we will stop the division here only and this quotient would give us the square root of the number 5. So we get square root of 5 is 2.236. Now square root of 5 is 2.236 up to 3 places of decimal. But we need to find the square root of 5 up to 2 places of decimal. So we round it off to 2 places of decimal. So this would give us square root 5 is equal to 2.24 places of decimal. Hence our final answer is square root 5 is equal to 2.24 correct decimal. It's the session hope you have understood the solution for this question.

Today we're going to talk about how to build your best chest, the best exercises and workouts to build big pecs. But before we get into the topic, please give the video a thumbs up, subscribe, check me out on Twitch. We're live streaming every single day, building a very, very fun community. Check out my podcast, 50% Facts. Drops every Wednesday on iTunes, Spotify, anywhere you want to hear it. Let's dig in. So I was on Instagram and I wanted to get to your guys' feedback. You can also comment below here anytime you want to bring up a topic, a rant, have a question and I'll answer it in upcoming videos. But my man asks, how can I build the best chest? What exercises are best for chest gains? And for me, what's worked over time, not that my chest is some chiseled artwork from Michelangelo, but what I've found the best gains are it's kind of a three-fold method based around strength and progress. Like everything else, if we want to progress in something, we have to slowly overload. And so overloading, the basics of it is we have to progress in some way and every week, once you become a little bit more advanced or even intermediate lifter, you can't just start adding pounds to the bar. So we have to progress in either reps, doing more reps, doing more sets or eventually adding small increments of weight. I always focus on strength with my first movement and the first movement, ba-da-boom, ba-da-bing. Take your best guess. It is. It's the bench press. The flat barbell bench press allows us to build the most amount of strength. It's the movement that most people can lift the most amount of weight for long term and so therefore stimulating our muscles correctly. What we want to do is train a variety of not necessarily angles because there's only two main muscles to the pecs. There's the pec major and pec minor. Majors kind of a shield-like kind of what you see and then the pec minor is a smaller muscle that kind of runs underneath it. But we do want to hit a variety of rep ranges to stimulate different muscle fibers, continue to build strength and also get a different stretch and stimulus onto the muscle. So the barbell bench press is what I like to start out with. I like to use it as a strength training method and we'll train maybe two to three times a week with a variety of reps. So the first session of the week might be sets of three to five, three to five sets of three to five, a little bit heavier, maybe in the 80% range. The second session might be a little bit lighter. We're going to do maybe three sets of maybe six to 10 reps and then the last one might be a little bit lighter but lower reps and it might again be sets of three to five but using maybe 70% range. So we're kind of hitting all boundaries, all repetitions while stimulating the muscle while allowing us to progress. So we have the strength training from the barbell sets of three to five, 80%. A little bit lighter reps, six to 10 reps, maybe 55 to 70% and then again we're doing about 60 to 70% but we're going to do triples or fives and work on our form, kind of a flush out, kind of a practice session. Now the second movement in our workout, what's worked really well for me is some kind of hammer strength, incline press, unilateral if you have that at your gym or just a dumbbell incline press. Now what we're going to be able to do is really squeeze those pecs. We're going to get a slightly higher pec stimulation working the muscle fibers on top.  Some people go all the way up to 45. I like much steeper than that so it's just a little bit above a flat bench and I'm going to use higher rep ranges. So again maybe we're doing that two to three times a week. One day maybe we're doing sets of seven, fairly hard saving one or two in the tank and then the other session we're going to do sets of maybe 10 to 12 saving a few in the tank. The very last exercise that I enjoy is the fly. Peck fly is a great movement, isolation at the end of the workout. I use these a little bit higher rep range so you don't try to stress the weight too much. Maybe we'll do the same rep range every single workout, somewhere between 8 and 12, maybe even 10 and 15 and what we'll try to do is use similar loads and each week just add a rep or add a set to the fly. I prefer a cable fly particularly the cable fly machine with the adjustable arms. I just feel that it's smooth and it allows constant tension on the pecs and it feels really good on my shoulders. Rather than a dumbbell fly there is some portion of the movement that has less resistance in it because of gravity etc and leverages but the cables there's constant tension and it feels really really healthy on my joints and that's how I like to finish it out. I also finish out some of my workouts just to feel good. Now the pump is a little bit overrated, a pump may some muscle damage does allow for muscle progress but it's not the number one factor, it's overload over time but leaving the gym with a nice pump from pushups I do 3 sets at the end maybe with some tricep push downs to feel good and end my push day. Other things, other factors we always want to keep and focus in on our form. I always like to keep 1 or 2 reps in the tank as soon as you go to failure multiple things are going to happen. If you go to failure on any of these exercises besides maybe the pushup, the pushup might be okay but other exercises 1 you're going to allow for technical breakdown the closer you get to failure and more technical breakdown for 1 allows a chance higher risk of injury and 2 if we stimulate the muscle too much then we can't get the frequency over time. If you do 3 sets of 10 all out on Monday and you're supposed to bench Wednesday you're going to be too fatigued to have optimal performance rather than on Monday we'll do 3 sets of 10 saving 1 or 2 in the tank. Now Wednesday we're fresh enough to also do 3 sets of 6 at a high performance with good load and now we can get more volume over the week, over the month, over the year and that's what is going to allow us to progress over time. Now again to build any kind of muscle to progress in the gym we need to really focus in our hydration the basics right it's a new year hopefully we've got some new viewers here new subscribers and maybe you don't know as much about nutrition and this is your first time really getting into this thing. This is going to be key so what I tend to recommend is take your body weight in pounds divided by 2 and that's how many ounces of water you should aim for to drink in the day now that's a very broad category but that's going to be a really good start. Another thing is a calorie surplus if you're trying to gain muscle and get jacked and gain strength so whatever calories you need to eat maintenance to allow you to stay the same weight we need to eat a little bit more than that to allow us to build muscle and build mass over time you can refer back to another video I talked about how to gain weight how to lose weight the basics kind of of how to track food and then number three even though we love to be social creatures and we love to stay up till 2 a.m. playing Call of Duty blackout with your friends and giggling on Xbox live we need to get our sleep so sleep pattern is going to be very important a routine sleep pattern is going to be very important and how many hours so you know whatever it might be 7 8 9 10 hours of sleep but keeping it consistent keeping it routine will allow for the most optimal gains in the gym and out of the gym to keep your brain moving on the right level guys comment below let me know what you think let me know what you want to cover next I appreciate you guys so much give this thing a thumbs up be sure to subscribe I'm Salamike find me on Instagram Twitter 50% facts and on Twitch I'll catch you guys in the next video


The narcissist will always do this in the end. In the end, the narcissist will always devalue you. They will try to tear down your self-esteem because it's your self-esteem that protects you. It tells you you're better than that. It tells you that you deserve more. It reminds you of your value and worth. When they attack your self-esteem, it may make you want to fight back. Or you may begin to shut down. You may begin to identify with what they're saying to you, with who they want you to be, which is why it's so dangerous to listen to their messages because it's not going to build you up and make you a better person. It's intended to break you down. In the end, the narcissist will always try to weaken you. They will blame you for everything. And they will act as though they're perfect, as though they're angels sent from God, as though they never did anything wrong. And you won't even be thinking about anything that they did wrong because they've already brainwashed you to where you're unable to identify your own worth. Now you identify with whatever they're saying about you. Whatever they say about you becomes the truth. And by this point, they will always blame you. They will always say something is wrong with you. They have to do that if they're going to move on so that they can feel better about their decision and so that it doesn't look bad to other people. But they don't consider that it actually looks very weird, that they're always given the assessment. They're always telling you what's right and what's wrong, as though they're the authority.  They want you to think you're not worth anything. They want you to think you're not about anything so that you begin to look to them for your value, as though they're the only ones who can give that to you because that's what they've brainwashed you into thinking the entire time that you've been with them, which works very well for them because it keeps you under their spell. It keeps you under their control. Where you're not good enough, you're not worth enough, they make themselves the judge, the jury, and the executioner. They are the end all be all. They have the final say. They must be considered as something of the utmost importance, as something essential and ultimate.  It keeps you chasing them while they're always running away because you're identifying with everything they've said about you, with their value system which they've assigned to you. So you don't even know what your worth is. You don't even know how something of value is meant to be treated because you're just going off of what the narcissist is telling you is valuable, which is why after a while they must target your self-esteem. They must break you down by not giving you any compliments or anything to make you feel like you're doing something good or right. They must make you think that what you're doing isn't that special, as though they could get the same or better treatment from somewhere else, as though it's not worthy of their time and attention, as though it's beneath their consideration because that's how they chip away at your self-esteem. That's how they keep you under their control. That's how they keep you under their spell. Thank you for watching. I hope this video resonate with you. Please like, comment, share and subscribe.

Yeah, we on Boss Talk, one on one, one on one. Yeah, we gonna talk. You know what I'm saying, me? We always in the present, but only for a second. You know, I just hit the table. That's the past. You know what I'm saying? It's over with. I done that. Right. Everything we said this conversation, we were talking about that's the past. This is all past. So you know what I'm saying, me? You can't relive the past, but what you could do is you could predict the future. That's why I said, man, fail the plan, plan to fail. You know, you must work your plan and plan your work. If you could do that, you know what I'm saying? As a young man or young woman, and you can learn from Martina and myself, then you could go to the next level.  You know what I'm saying?  You once was in the prison system one time. I was in the prison system. You know, Iced was robbing banks at one time. You know what I mean? Robbing jury stores forever. So you know what I mean? Everyone can elevate. You know what I'm saying? So that's the main reason for our podcast. That's the main reason why we're here. Transitioning. And we're not trying to glorify the game.   I just, man, I want to say, man, this show about to be crazy, man. I know she's from the game. I'm from the game. And you know, 99% of people, man, she'll tell you, everybody tell you there's real in the game.  Hope will blow up.  I got the book to prove it. No.  Well, Ice T used to quote Iceberg still. So, you know. But I remember when I read your book and I had people that worked for me, a white girl, I'll count on people. I made them all read your book. We was on our way to Atlanta and say, oh, y'all need to get this right here. And I got pictures to prove it. They don't know. I had all of them. They worked for my stores. Y'all need to read this book, man. We reading it. We reading it. You don't book all the way to Atlanta. I'm a little here. What is the white girl saying? A lot. She just, really, she was, she never... What does this mean? Yeah. What does she use up? Mean. What does she use up? She was using mean. But Tina, on the flip side, a lot of women follow you, too. Yes. You know what I'm saying? A lot of young girls out there. I love all the women. They use her lingo. Yes. So that was the reason why it made sense to me. I said, damn. And then, you know, when we was thinking about what to call, I said, let's call it a view from the game because, you know, everybody's seen me on all these podcasts and they hear me talking. I told my CEO, brother Vardo, and I told James, my national, I said, man, y'all gonna have to probably step up. Cause I said, I'm doing this podcast.  So, you know what I'm saying? I'm gonna step back so we can do this podcast. That's whole. And I said, I want to do it because, you know, I felt it in my bones and I knew it was the right thing to do. You know what I'm saying? This is the right thing to do. You know, it's just there, sometimes tinnitus can be a little impatient.  Y'all both, y'all both solid individuals, man. So, hey man, I'm gonna end it with this note, man. I do have a question. What? I'm gonna end this. I'm trying to get the mother two on here before they get out of here or this guy. I got them. Okay, there you go. They go out. They go out. No, I'm just saying. Y'all, y'all have any young ladies reached out to you in your inbox and be like, this is where I'm at. I'm trying to get out. I need to know, you know, how can I do this? Or even some young girls who are choosing to get into life and be like, is there another choice? Can I do something else? I'm just gonna tell them my DM is filled up with all those kind of questions and I'm not answering none of them. They gotta read my book and find out because I'm not gonna give you no advice and get myself caught up because I'm retired. I don't know who you are. That's real. On the internet. I don't know if you're the police. That's real. I'm asking me some stuff and I say one thing and I'm up short. I didn't play myself up out of my freedom. That's real. No, I'm saying the same thing. That's real. That's so real. I don't answer none of those questions. You can't play them kind of games. I don't play them kind of games. I don't know who you are. You can't. You don't know who they are. He's slick, man. See, I'm not giving up. Yes, whatever, like, I got instructions. Jealous, too. I have a poem called, Hoeing 101. Okay. And it's one right here. I'm gonna read this one to you this time. This is called sugardaddy.com. I made a trick on sugardaddy.com. I went to dinner. He gave me PPM, a thousand ones. We got to back to his place. I said, I need more money. There will be no GFV or getting into sheets. I don't play that, honey. I need $10,000 stipend every month. I need payment right now. This ain't no stunt. I'm one of the best lookers you ever had, a legend, so it's gonna cost you more cash. He looked at me and said, I got to sell my stocks and bonds in the AM. I said, so? So I said, I want your soul in reparation. He looked at me and said, you're right. He handed me a whip and he said, beat me all night.  Then I disappeared into the night like a vampire feeding. I came back in the morning and broke him for all the money. I told him, I'll see you next month and I'll have plenty of honey. He smiled and said, that was the best cash he's spent in a long time. I told him, I'm hustle mom and I'll always stay on your mind. Hey, hustle mom. Break a chick, break a chick. Hey, man, check it, man. Just because of that poem you said, I thought about this question. What's the craziest thing you ever had to do to a trick? Oh my God. It's some stories.  Damn. Man, it was real, real. Yeah, you know. I mean, I asked you to do that. You know, he gave me a thousand dollars and he's a regular. And he'd give me a thousand dollars and he would like buy my food what he wanted me to. Right. So we go out to lunch and eat. And then when we get back to the room, he'll have this enema. That's disgusting. It's so disgusting.  I'll take the money. Oh yeah.  And I'll be like, yeah, you ready? And then I'll put the enema in and then I'll hold my booty cheeks together. And then when he say he ready, and then it's just an explosion. And he just sits there and wobble in it.   And then I go in the shower, take a shower and the date's over and then I just leave. And he's just in there. Just very sure. He stayed in it when you walked out the door? Yes, I looked back. You know what I'm saying? He was just having a good old mud wrestling time. And you walked out with your money? I walked out with my money. That was it. Damn. He didn't want some mud, you know. Every time you had to go out to eat with him, so you could do whatever food that he wanted. Hopefully he's all vegetables or something. No, sometimes he wants pancakes and you know, he might want a thicker texture, but that is so gross and crass. But you know, somebody gotta do it. Everybody have a different fetish. You know, somebody gotta do it. So what's the best thing that ever, a trick ever done for you that wasn't gross? I mean, what's the best thing? I'll take you to the other side. Money and trick ever done for you. He bought me, got me a car, bought me a apartment. Just felt like I played on his emotions to where he couldn't even date me. He just felt like he needed to take care of me for God. You didn't even have to see him, he'll just send it. You know, I was seeing him sometimes. No, don't sound like they become a stalker. But not dating him, not dating him or anything like that. Just company. Just company and just feel like he had a, God made him feel like it was his responsibility. He's trying to save you. To take care of me. Wow. Yeah, so yeah. Thank God for that.  Wait a minute, let's go with it. I wanna hear this before we get off here. I got to hear this. What about the one that started Seawalking on you? What? Yeah, that was crazy. That was crazy.


I welcome you all for the today's session on Fundamentals of Traffic Flow. In this class we are going to discuss about the speed and travel time. I am Ashok Kumar, Assistant Professor, Department of Civil Engineering, Walchand Institute of Technology, Solapur. At the end of the session, students will be able to calculate time mean speed and space mean speed of a traffic stream. In the previous classes we have seen other macroscopic parameters. Now another macroscopic parameter is the speed. We know that the importance of the speed with the speed, we can control the traffic, we can regulate the traffic and we can also use the speed for a geometric design, accidental analysis and capacity analysis. Now we know that speed is defined as the rate of motion in distance per unit time. And travel time is the time taken to traverse a defined section of a roadways. It is given by s equal to d upon t, distance upon time, where s is the speed in kmph or meter per second, d is the distance in meter or kilometer and t is the time to traverse a distance in d in hours or seconds. Before we go for a detailed analysis of our speed, let us define some definitions. The first one is a spot speed. It is instantaneous speed of a vehicle at a particular location. It means at a reference point you are standing and finding out what is the speed at that particular location for that moment. That we call as a spot speed. And another one is the average speed. It is average of all the spot speed of all the vehicles passing at the given points on the highway. It means we are not unable to find out the speed of an individual vehicle and design our proposals. It means each individual vehicle we cannot measure the speed of the net traffic stream. So for that we have to take the average speed of a traffic stream. The average speed of a traffic stream can be computed in two ways. First one is a time mean speed and space mean speed. So let us discuss these two parameters in detail. Time mean speed is the average of all the vehicles passing a point over a duration of a time. It means here if you are standing at this particular reference point for a particular time duration and finding out what is the spot speed of all these vehicles. So it is a simple average of a spot speed or arithmetic mean of all the spot speeds. So it is given vt equals to 1 by n summation of uts. uts means a number of speeds you are counting, number of speeds you are measuring over here for n number of vehicles. Suppose you are counted at three spot speeds, it means it is just average of that three spot speeds. So three spot speeds divided by three gives the spot speed of that particular vehicle.  How we measure this spot speed? Using a detector loops in this one, entry time is recorded and exit time is recorded. So we know the distance will be very very short distance say 10 meter or 5 meter less than that. So with this we can able to calculate the L distance upon difference of these two exit and entry time. Another one we use an anoscope method where the observer is standing over here and he start the stopwatch when vehicle crosses on this first line and stop the stopwatch when vehicle crosses on this. So we know the length and we know that time recorded we can calculate what is the spot speed. Another the versatile method we use it for measuring the spot speed is the radar gun with the radar gun also we can find out the what is the spot speed of the vehicle. So it is not the actual the speed of the vehicle we are measuring in this topic stream because we are not covering any kind of the vehicles which is travelling at high speed which is travelling at a slow speed. The time is recorded here but the inner traffic stream we unable to get all kind of the vehicles but this is only actual speed you are taken on that particular spot. This is not the actual speed we are expecting for the improvements. Another one is the space mean speed in this one you can find out what is the difference between the space mean and time mean speed. This is the average speed of all the vehicles occupying a given section of a highway. What is the meaning of given section of a highway? Within a section given for you say 1.5 kilometer or 2 kilometer within that 2 kilometer you are measuring the what is the specified time period and what is the time travel to cross that particular 1.5 kilometer or 2 kilometer. Earlier time mean speed you are just measuring the what is the spot speed of that particular vehicle on that particular reference point. Here within a section of a highway within a length of a highway we are measuring the various duration of a time. So in this one we can record all kind of the vehicle's movement slow moving fast moving so this is the one of the useful method for finding out the actual speed of the vehicles. So let consider a unit length of road and vi is the spot speed of ith vehicle and ti is the time the vehicle takes the complete unit distance and it is given by 1 by vi that is the speed you are measuring. Time equal to 1 by distance is unit 1 and if there are n such vehicles then average travel time is a TS. So TS equal to ti by n so number of vehicles you have measured the time divided by the number of the vehicles. So put the TS value and 1 by n summation of 1 by vi. Put the ti value as 1 by vi so equation becomes TS equal to 1 by n to summation of 1 by vi. If t average is the average travel time the average speed vi is equal to 1 by TS. So this is the space mean speed is vi so this is distance upon time. So put the TS value as full this and the equation finally converts into vi is equal to n by summation of i equal to 1 to n into 1 by vi. So whatever the spot speeds you are measuring it is just simply the harmonic mean of the spot speeds. So whatever you are finding out the spot speed if you take the harmonic mean of that that becomes your space mean speed. So this is the actual measure we are trying to find out in this all kind of the travel time which is include fast as well as the slumming vehicles. The measurement of the space mean speed we can hear the distance is given for you so to say 2.5 kilometer and in this one entry time is recorded and exit time is recorded. So with this we can able to calculate what is the space mean speed of the vehicle. Let us consider the another example where 3 speeds are taken 20, 40 and 60 kmph traveling at the unit length d. We know that time mean speed is arithmetic mean of all the speeds. So taking the arithmetic mean of 20, 40 and 60 by 3 that gives you 40 kmph and space mean speed we know that it is a simply harmonic mean of the spot speeds you can take the harmonic mean is 1 by vi so number of observation is 3. So this gives you 32.72 kmph. Now with this explanation let us pause the video for a while and can you think why the space mean speed is always lower than time mean speed in the previous example we seen one is 40 kmph and another one is 32.72 why these two values are different why the space mean speed is lesser than your time mean speed. I hope you are able to give the answer for this the actual answer is this space mean speed is measuring in a length of say 1.5 km or 2.5 km but the main weightage is given for a slow moving vehicles for the reason always space mean speed is lesser than time mean speed. So another illustration over here we can observe we got two lanes lane a and lane b in this one lane a slow moving vehicles are observing 10 meter per second and 50 meter spacing and lane b 20 meter per second and 100 meter spacing. So what is the headway headway is measured from front of the vehicle to the front of the vehicle. So in this case so the vehicles are passing at 50 by 10 so 50 the spacing divided by the speed. So 5 second each vehicle is traveling taking 5 second to cross the 50 meter length and number of the vehicles observed in a per hour it is 60 by 5 it is 12 number of vehicles are observed in a one hour. So density is number of vehicles in a unit length say 1 kilometer how many number of the vehicles are occupied that is your density. So 1000 meter is the length and 50 is the spacing so 20 vehicles are occupied in a length of 1 kilometer that is the meaning of your density same way calculate for a lane b here 5 second and number also 12 for one hour and numbers are 10 because the spacing is larger here number of vehicles are 10. Let us calculate the what is the space means time means speed first so it is just arithmetic mean of your spot speeds it means a 12 number of vehicles are traveling at 10 and 12 number of vehicles traveling at 20 so 12 number vehicles in lane a and 12 number vehicles in lane b. So total vehicles are 24 so the total vt comes 15 meter per second. Now space means speed can be calculated in two ways one using a distance or one using a density we can calculate over here. So here in the first case a 20 number of vehicles moving at 10 kmph and second case 10 number of vehicles moving at 20 meter per second. So total number of vehicles occupied in a unit length that is in a 1000 meter is 30 that is 20 plus 10. So in this case our space means speed is 13.3 meter per second. If I take the harmonic mean of the spot speed again the value will be same. So in this case you can observe the 24 number of vehicles and 12 number of 1 by 10 that is a harmonic mean of a speed and 1 by 20 lane 1 by 10 in lane a and 1 by 20 lane b. So that comes 13.3 meter per second so both the values are same. So another speed we have is a running speed. Running speed is also a spot speed but this speed is measured while the vehicle is in motion but this excludes the delay. If we include the delay that becomes your journey speed. So if you are effective speed with the vehicle, if the vehicle travels a particular route between two terminals but it includes the delay and stoppages. So that is meaning of your journey speed excluding running speed including journey speed. These are the references I have used for presenting this presentation. Thank you.
