Anyway, happy Sunday, everyone. It is Sunday, May 30th, 2021, and it is the decade of COVID. Yeah. Anyway, it's so weird. The wedding preparations are going forward. It is weird because of COVID and they had to cut down the guest list and we have to know who's vaccinated and who isn't because that depends on where they get seated and what they can and can't do. Like, it's a whole thing. Like, I'll let you know how it comes out. It's just a thing. Anyway, yeah. Here it was finishing up gluing their fire salamony ceramic lotus thing back together that was shipped over from a family friend from Lithuania. It got broken in transit and so I fixed it. It's all done now. It's downstairs. I got to let the kids know I haven't done that yet. I was grabbing a couple of scraps of fabric that are the colors of a couple of dresses I need to alter because I need to go get some thread today and make sure I have the right colors, which I don't keep lots of thread around anymore because I don't do weddings anymore. So I need to, yeah, I'll get a couple of varying shades. So hopefully I have something that's close to how that works. What else? I need to finish the sugar skull puzzle today. I need to do June 1 through at least five daily artwork drawings and stuff ahead of time because that's going to be right when the wedding is happening and there's going to be no time. If I have time to do daily drawing during that time, I'll be surprised. So I'm going to try to do that in my head. What else do I have to do today? I feel like there's something else and I can't think of what it is. Edit video. Today or tomorrow I have to edit video and also do the weekly posts and schedule those out for the week. Plus the landscaper's coming by to hopefully finish the landscaping today. He's had problems with his work vehicles, so I don't know. Hopefully. I'll let you know how it goes. All right, that's it for the minute. I'll be back. Hey, yes, we should have probably been doing other things, but the husband helped me and guess what? We got it done. Yay! Okay, so we are back kind of on schedule with what I needed to get done before the wedding festivities start this weekend. I also just really wanted to see it done. We did think for a minute that it was either missing a piece or we lost a piece, but we actually found it on the floor. This was really hard and there's a reason I don't generally do thousand-piece puzzles. Yeah, I'm going to stick to three to five hundred. I love puzzling, but thousand-piece puzzles are just not my jam. That being said, I see another one up here. I am pretty sure the kids got me these. So here's another one, thousand-piece puzzle.  I swear to God, I love puzzling. Oh, there's two of them up here. Holy cow, they really have to stop doing the thousand pieces.  Anyway, so it is Monday morning, May 31st. Is it? Yes, May 31st. Um, Memorial Day here in the United States. And anyway, so I've been working on the computer right there editing the vlog. It's rendering. I've got a few more videos on the SD card from the camera. And honestly, I've forgotten exactly what's on the SD card. But yeah, we'll edit whatever's on there. Try to get it all loaded today. That's my goal. And then if I have time before this afternoon's barbecue, I will be working on the daily drawing journals ahead. But if I don't have time today, I should have time tomorrow morning to do that. So I'm not too far behind. But while this video is rendering, I'm going to go try to do the dishes, which is also something I need to do before people come over and Bob is out. Good morning, everybody. It is, what time is it? 1037 a.m. And I am headed, obviously in the car. I'm headed over to the beauty salon because we're getting my hair done one last time before the kids wedding. A little trim and some toner to get rid of some more of the yellow, all the things for the things because of the things. Anyway, I also have to stop and pick up coffee on the way back because we're running low. And I any other messages, the daughter like texts me to like go do this or go do that. I think most of that's going to be on one of her bridesmaids, Allison, who is coming in later tonight. And she's actually staying with us. I am also going to be having her dress. So it's good that she's staying with us so I can get that done. I was up early ish this morning posting on Facebook to a couple of different groups that are associated with the class that I'm teaching with Bea Grob, Petra Fuchs, Marie Linder, Peg Robinson and Chelsea. And I have bonus content for my share of the class that I was sharing in the two groups. One group is for all the teachers and all the students. And the other one is for people just interested in my portion of the class. I don't know if that's going to work. We'll see. This is the first time I'm doing something like that. Going forward. If I do this again, people may not want a separate group. I don't know. We'll see. Anyway, right now I am in traffic trying to get to the freeway so I can get to my hair. Hey, guys. I moved the serger to the art table. I have this dress I bought at Fred Meyer not long ago. I got a really good deal on it. It's a really cute dress. It's a very cute dress. It's actually two sizes smaller than I used to wear. Yeah, anyway. It's too long for me. I love the dress but I think it's supposed to be like mid-calf or just below mid-calf ankle length. Like it touches the floor on me. I'm short for that. So I'm going to shorten it by about eight inches. Holy cow. I'm also going to take the ties off that are around the neck because I don't need those on there.  We'll see. Anyway, first I'm going to shorten it. I already pinned the ruffle. It has a ruffle but I pinned the ruffle up. I have a serger so I can just sew this. It will do the same kind of stitch, the overlocking stitch, and cut the extra fabric off all at the same time. So that works perfect. So we're going to get that done for our first round of alterations. Do one of my own. I also cut tucked. I also forgot to speak English today anyway. I also cut the care label off of the garment. I do think as I'm sewing this I might put it back on. So I remember what the fabric content is. It's rayon but I mean just because I'll put it back on. All right, let's get it done. 20 after 9. Sorry I was wrong. It's finally below 90 degrees so we're out getting some steps in. I think the high was 97 where we are in Oregon today and to be honest we're kind of enjoying the last few minutes of sort of peace and quiet before the wedding craziness starts. So we're getting some steps in and enjoying the peace and quiet and drinking my water because have I said it's hot? It's hot. All right that's it for the minute. I'll be back. Now I'm listening.  The frogs are loving it. It is 10 14 a.m. Wednesday June 2nd I believe. We are headed obviously we're in the car. We're headed out to go help run last minute wedding errands so yeah. It's a hot 75. It's a hot 75. Already this morning we're supposed to hit at least 90 again today and then tomorrow we're supposed to be dropping temperature. Thank goodness finally. Anyway yeah so and our hanging bird our hanging flower basket by the front door the new one we just put in not long ago already has a baby bird nest in it and one egg and mama bird does not like when we water that plant but she does come right back so fun fact. Anyway we are going to go find some things that my daughter is looking for for the wedding and try to help her out and one of the bridesmaids is doing the same and we're going to kind of text each other if we need help finding stuff the thing. When if Barracuda decided to die at the kids house and decided to uh yeah need to get towed home hence the tow truck now we have to try to maneuver it into the garage so it's put away for the wedding or until Bob can get it to the shop to get fixed uh I think it's a fuel pump anyway um that's gonna be fun not here okay see hi oh and this back over here who you saw that's Allison say hi hello so yeah um it is a power steering car but it's not running so any of you who have tried to steer a car like that yeah this is gonna be fun let's see what happens good morning it is Thursday morning uh about 11 30 ish Thursday morning obviously we're in the car uh so yeah wedding celebrations commence shortly uh we have a church blessing this afternoon wedding rehearsal for the main celebration tomorrow and a big celebration and hand fasting on Saturday and then Sunday open house brunch thing and then Monday maybe a couple of lingering friends over and then Tuesday I'm just gonna just turn everything off and shut the door and pretend I'm not home that's a lot the church ceremony uh and blessing is over and I will insert a clip here I probably have to take the sound out for obvious copyright reasons but they figured you know if we have to put everything off we're gonna just have fun with it so they've had a legal wedding a church wedding and then Saturday they have a hand fasting he says three tries to get the presents right so you know yeah to remember the cards yeah but the question of the day is going to be for their for their anniversaries is she going to be mad if she doesn't get cards for all three anniversaries so that's going to be a thing all right everybody say hi to grandpa hi youtube uh hi youtube see there you go so we've had a whole week of crazy wedding family planning parties I'm exhausted can you tell by these maybe not because I got them from him they're his fault guilty yeah anyway so we're having the last event today it's going to be an open house I'll film what I can but no guarantees because like the last few days have been insane uh but it's been a lot of fun hey guys so it's been a few days since I checked and it has been crazy we have the last of our house guests left this morning it is Monday morning June 7th 9 10 a.m holy cow um yeah it's been a week any of you who have planned a big event to know how crazy the week before the event can get and this was crazy it was it was a week it was very peopley the first peopley thing that any of us have done since covid and of course we did it safely and took all the precond necessary precautions but um you know it involved a lot of last minute running around trying to get things that we needed and there was a church blessing and then a dinner afterwards and then a rehearsal dinner and a dinner afterwards and then a larger wedding celebration and hand fasting and a dinner afterwards and then an open house the next day like it was just it was a lot I haven't done any art since like Tuesday last it's been almost a week I'm ready to like turn the phones off and just shut the door pretend I'm not home but I can't do that because there's other stuff going on this week because we're back to regular life so anyway it was a lot of fun I'm very happy for the kids they finally got the wedding celebration that they wanted when covid started and derailed everything I will also say that the event venue the old schoolhouse was gorgeous and fabulous and the staff was just very very lovely and robin are very determined and very efficient wedding planner that helped the kids out was just fabulous I'm going to leave links for both businesses down below if you are in the portland oregon or new berg oregon area I do recommend you check them out if you're having some sort of big party or event or wedding or something that you need to take care of I wouldn't recommend anyone else um yeah so anyway I'm very tired there's no lighting on the planet right now in here that can help with these I've put on five or six layers of puffy eye gel and it helped a little bit but yeah yeah just a lot anyway we have some friends from california that are still in town for another day and so I think we're going to meet with them for lunch and we are going to um we have to go to the grocery store I know you know if I had done any filming oh you guys so much food I mean I don't know why I didn't think that as the mother of the bride and the last person at the event you know before after everyone else left besides the staff because I am that person that will stay and make sure everything is okay and the staff doesn't need anything and then there's no questions and that they I wanted to help well I guess I could help by taking all of the kids decor that they owned home and then the caterer said wait we have food and then the bartender said wait we have liquor leftover you own it all so you've got to take it so thankfully a couple of old college friends of ours and um one of the bridesmaids stayed behind and her boyfriend thank you Allison and Phil and thank you Andy we appreciate you all so so so much um and Allison and Jenny and uh Phil and Brian we love you all so much you helped so much on the day of the open house can't thank you enough um anyway they all helped and they helped us load up their cars because there was just too much from my little Subaru I wasn't going to be able to fit it all in there so they helped to get all of it back here to the house and literally my fridge was full to the gills with just open house food and wedding food and then the leftover food after the church blessing ceremony we had food back here at the house so we had leftovers from that and it was it was just a lot we got rid of 99 of it at the open house what didn't get eaten got given away and so it's all good so now I can get back to rights and I can get the few things that we need that we're out of that we use every day like I need some more bone broth and a few things like that and then we can get back to normal we do get our new door in the dining room in this week uh and um so that project is going to be going on I also am going to be making a trip up to my dad's probably on saturday uh to help him out with some few things now that we know mom's not coming home he needs some help with some organizing and purging up at the house so I'm going to go up and help him with that which means I need to do a trip to Walmart first and get some bins and uh yeah I guess I have a video to edit because I've got something to do with all of this I don't know so anyway it's going to be a weird vlog it's probably going to have an extra couple of days in it I don't know it's going to be strange so stick with me though maybe uh I have of course a lot of projects I'm working on and stuff I want to film for you all now that things are so maybe supposedly getting back to normal we can get that done maybe all right that's it for the minute please check out the video description for all the relevant links and support the free content here on youtube and the facebook art groups if you can there's links on how to do that down below including the class I'm teaching with Bea Grob and a bunch of other students I'm other teachers right now the students are really enjoying it I think you will too so check out the link down below what else uh you can buy some of my art foemies I've designed using the link down below there's a link tree list of links which includes my esi shop social media where you can follow me and all that stuff anyway check out the video description don't forget to like share and subscribe hit that little bell icon if you want notifications of future weirdness and most importantly stay safe stay healthy stay creative please wear a mask if you're required to and go out and do something nice for yourself because you deserve it I'll see you later I think I need a nap bye


Hi and welcome folks, my name is Juno Fitzpatrick and I am the Human Rights and Social Responsibility Program Manager for Conservation International's Global Fisheries and Aquaculture Program. Thank you so much to Arizona State University and the United Nations Global Compact Conference for the opportunity to share CI's approach to addressing human rights abuses within the seafood sector. So I'm going to kick off this presentation by sharing my screen, there we go. So Conservation International protects biodiversity and improves the well-being of ocean-dependent communities by implementing sustainable fisheries and aquaculture solutions built on partnerships and investments from ocean to plate. We have a global reach, we work in 36 sites across 24 countries impacting 1.5 billion hectares of ocean and coasts and that's around 21,000 people. And this is where we work, the dark blue areas depict the geographies where our global fisheries and aquaculture program is. So today only 25% of global seafood production is currently certified as sustainable or assessed for their sustainability status. CI is working towards the planetary need that 75% of seafood globally is produced using socially responsible and environmentally sustainable methods by 2030. CI's contribution is to focus on 20 critical geographies where we have partnerships, programs and a driving impact and these are the geographies that we saw in the previous map. So we combine three elements that when implemented together can unleash conservation impact. So firstly building community capacity, producers need to be prepared to support food security and participate sustainably in the Blue Revolution. We build capacity with fishes, aquaculture operators and communities to transition the sector to sustainable practices. Working on our strengthened field demonstrations and relationships on the ground and in the water. Secondly, unleashing the power of markets and private capital to drive impact requires a new suite of conservation finance tools. Working with investors and innovators, we're developing conservation finance approaches to align markets and sustainable enterprises. And finally, nothing replaces the need for effective management systems that allow communities, enterprises and markets to function efficiently. We implement policy reforms that incentivize sustainable production practices and protect the critical ecosystems that support economic activity. And this is all based on a strong foundation of science and knowledge. So within our global fisheries and aquaculture program, our strategy is supported by three focal areas, coastal community fisheries, sustainable tuna initiatives and responsible aquaculture. And we have two cross-cutting initiatives, social responsibility or human rights and ocean finance. So our work in human rights, human well-being is applied in our three focal areas and works in concert with our focus on combating illegal unreported and unregulated fishing and the conservation of marine biodiversity. And the link to our team's approach is our integration and elevation of human rights and human well-being into the sustainability discourse. So let's think a little bit about the unmet need. The ocean is the biggest food system on our planet. Three out of seven people depend on the ocean as their primary source of protein and the seafood sector employs millions. The decades scientists, managers, conservationists and funders have been concerned with the negative human impacts on our marine environment but have largely ignored the social side of the equation and this has had dire consequences for human well-being. Media revelations about slavery and human rights abuses have placed social issues at the forefront of a sector that has spent decades working to improve environmental sustainability. There are now around 40 million victims of modern slavery, of whom 25 million are in forced labor situations and 60 million of those are in the private sector, half of whom are trapped in debt bondage. Social performance within the seafood sector is among the worst production sectors on the planet and now with 200 million people around the world depending directly or indirectly on this industry for employment, it is crucial for the seafood sector to catch up. Recent analysis and research has shown a clear link between the prevalence of human rights abuses in global fisheries and harmful fishing or poor environmental performance. Violations of human and labor rights and illegal unreported and unregulated fishing in seafood supply chains has drawn attention from governments, NGO and the public and put pressure on companies to take action. So let's break down this problem a little bit. Depleted stocks drive increased fishing effort, fishing farther, deeper and longer and thereby costs. This increases the demand for cheap labor to offset this loss in profit. To compensate for the higher costs, vessel owners often turn to trafficking networks, illegal trafficking networks to supply cheap labor at the expense of vulnerable populations and these are often migrant workers. So we find that it's the same factors that are enabling illegal harvesting and overfishing that also drive human rights abuses in the sector. And this includes global fisheries over capitalization subsidies that offset rising operational costs that would otherwise encourage a reduction in fishing capacity. As shipment can facilitate both illegal fishing as well as trafficking, flags of convenience that help vessels that illegally that fish illegally and engage in human trafficking to escape detection and avoid legal consequences, opaque supply chains that hide exploitative activities, rising consumer demands for cheap seafood, distant water fishing, ineffective fisheries management and governance practices and regulatory gaps that inhibit minimum international labor protections for fishery workers. So many countries, including the US have not signed on to the relevant treaties to ensure the legality and the safety of fishing operations. So how do we respond? Conservation International is driving best practice in environmental and social sustainability through innovative tools at scale. Together with Arizona State University, we recognize the importance of balancing conservation outcomes with human wellbeing for effective and just fisheries reform. Our social responsibility program is situated within this context. Our programmatic goal here is to drive the uptake and implementation of social responsibility initiatives among private sector, NGO and government partners in order to improve social performance. We deliver on this through the implementation of effective tools and policies to protect workers and fishers, civil, political, economic, social and cultural rights. So this means that from our on the water field projects to international policy negotiations, we ensure the rights of people, indigenous peoples, rural communities, men and women are respected and in collaboration with business and human rights partners, we embed social improvements into critical marine and coastal fisheries. So we as a community of practice need to ensure that seafood is produced in a way that doesn't compromise the basic rights of people and supports their collective wellbeing. So back in 2016, a coalition of experts and organizations developed a shared, comprehensive definition of social responsibility. And this is referred to as the Monterey framework. A commitment to the three pillars of the Monterey framework is a commitment to protecting human rights, dignity and access to resources, ensuring equality and equitable opportunity to benefit and improving food, nutrition and livelihood security. A pledge to the Monterey framework is a commitment to this comprehensive set of existing law policy and guidance frameworks that support the three principles of socially responsible seafood. This encompasses the UN's Declaration on Human Rights, the ILO fundamental conventions and the ILO working fishing convention. All five types of human rights recognized by the UN Declaration on Human Rights are reflected in the Monterey framework. This is civil, political, economic, social and cultural rights. So in order to action the Monterey framework, we recommend in line with the UN guiding principles on human rights for companies to undertake human rights due diligence. So according to the UN guiding principles, human rights due diligence is an ongoing risk management process in order to prevent, identify, prevent, mitigate and account for how a company addresses its adverse human rights impacts. And the four key steps of this process are assessing actual and potential human rights impacts, integrating and acting on findings, tracking responses and communicating how impacts are addressed. So how do we do this within a fisheries context? CI and partners co-developed the social responsibility assessment tool for the seafood sector. It's a risk assessment tool for conducting human rights due diligence in seafood supply chains. It excels in a wide range of contexts from small community-orientated fisheries to industrial fleets and throughout the supply chain. So for example, in Ecuador, we piloted this innovative human rights due diligence tool for the seafood sector in the OPEGAC Eastern Pacific Persane Fishery. The tool measures alignment with the Monterey framework, integrates all relevant international labour organization conventions and international human rights protocols, encompassing the treatment of fishermen, safety practices, access to food and first aid, among other key rights and needs. And this was the first time human rights due diligence was performed in a fishery improvement project of this size and scale. So from Costa Rica to South Africa, we are piloting the social responsibility assessment tool among small-scale actors in the seafood sector. At CI, we recognise that whilst recent media revelations have brought increased attention to social issues in seafood, resulting social protections and standards have a disproportionate focus on the violation of civil and political rights during the harvesting stage of offshore industrial operations. So we urgently need to bring more attention to the violations of economic, social and cultural rights or ESC rights, particularly within and across small-scale fisheries and fishing communities. So for example, when foreign fleets overfish in the exclusive economic zone of developing countries, such that fishing is a way of life or livelihood is no longer economically viable, all communities' rights to food security are undermined. Economic, social and cultural rights include rights to food, water, decent work, standard living and rights of women, children and migrants. Whilst civil and political rights violations are litigated by use of criminal, maritime and labour law, in the case of ESC or Economic, Social and Cultural Violations, it's much harder to determine who is accountable and how remediation occurs as they are perceived as systematic issues. So our coastal community fisheries programme is situated within this context. Our programmatic goal here is to achieve measurable social, economic and environmental improvements in 15 coastal community fisheries globally by 2025. And this is to ultimately contribute towards the planetary need. Our theory of change, or pathway to impact, is we drive improvements by combining good governance, community capacity and market incentives. And our two programme focal areas, or how we deliver on this, is through the development of tools and solutions for assessing and improving social, economic and environmental performance in fisheries, integrating science with stakeholder knowledge and values and through building internal and external communities of practice to drive collaboration and alignment across diverse geographies and contexts. At Conservation International, we see that business is a part of the solution. Business is both the opportunity and the responsibility to lead in this space. Thought leaders in the seafood industry self-identified solutions to social challenges intended to address human rights violations and improve livelihoods is one of the three top priorities to address in order to make progress in the next decade. To address these risks, companies are increasingly incorporating social responsibility into their sustainability goals. As they seek to protect brand reputation, improve business performance and meet regulatory pressures, companies have the opportunity to demonstrate ethical leadership. Chief among these are de-risking and diversifying investment opportunities, reducing risk of supply chain disruptions, litigation and reputational harm and aligning with and meeting global social responsibility standards and involving consumer demands and finally ensuring the continuity of seafood production to meet global food security into the future. So there's a sense of urgency here. COVID-related relaxation of human observer requirements, reductions in at sea enforcement capacity and increased rates of transshipment may likely exacerbate this positive feedback loop between harmful fishing and the exploitation of people with dire consequences for workers at sea. This means they're working conditions, occupational health and safety. And for coastal communities or small-scale fisheries, vulnerable groups such as women, children, indigenous people and migrant workers are experiencing COVID impacts disproportionately. So in addition to these structural inequalities, COVID interacts with existing chronic and acute stresses to increase vulnerability of coastal communities to food and livelihood security. Collectively these factors drive social instability, poverty and resource decline. So our community of practice is at a critical junction to implement tools to protect fishers, workers and communities, civil, political, economic, social and cultural rights and work in collaboration with business and human rights partners to embed social improvements for de-risking supply chains.

So one of the major mechanisms for the transfer of energy from the Sun to the surface of the planet is photosynthesis. So I'm just going to talk about photosynthesis a little bit more. And photosynthesis is the domain of green plants, typically green plants, and what the story is is that the internal makeup of the cells of plants has a mechanism that allows the plant to transfer energy from the Sun, light energy from the Sun into food, if you like, glucose. So the process whereby it does that can be written as a word equation. So the word equation is that the plant takes in CO2 plus water and in the presence of light energy generates glucose and oxygen. So this is the photosynthesis equation and it's really quite important to us and other organisms in the biosphere because the generation of glucose at this point brings in food, which is a kind of chemical potential energy. So that's what food is. It stores energy in the form of sugars and then at some point something can consume that and use it to generate energy. But while we're talking about plants, I want to talk about something a little bit more specific to do with the cells and plants. And there are three main ways that the cells differ in plants, differ from the cells in animals. So there's a very good reason for this. Now one of the ones, I'm just going to label the nucleus because every cell has a nucleus and there are other cellular organelles in there. But the ones that are of particular interest, and I don't know if you can see this old label in blue as well, are the chloroplasts. Now the chloroplasts contain chlorophyll and chlorophyll is often the green material that imparts the green coloration in leaves. I know there are some variations where leaves can be goldy colors or red colors, but typically they're green. And it's this chlorophyll in the chloroplasts that is the engine house if you like for converting energy from the sun, light energy from the sun into glucose. The other things while we're here that are characteristics of plant cells that animal cells don't have are a large fluid filled vacuole. You can have vacuoles in animal cells but they're not as large as these ones and this is significant for a reason I'm about to explain. And then they also have very rigid cell walls. The point about the fluid filled vacuole and the rigid cell walls is that plants don't have skeletons to hold them upright. And so even though we're busily talking about energy systems, the other things that plants need to do at the cellular level is have a mechanism for holding the plant upright. And so what happens is there's a combination of things here where the rigid cell walls generally hold the cell quite stiffly and then filling the vacuole makes the cell rigid. That is makes it rigid because it's filled with water and our plant stands upright. And you'll know yourself that if you forget to water your plant, i.e. the vacuole is not filled with water, then the whole thing kind of, you know, wilts and doesn't look too good. But if you put water on it, it goes again. So that's a sort of a separate thing but you can't really talk about the nature of plant cells without talking about those things as well. So getting back to this photosynthesis equation. One of the things that's really cool about this is that if you learn this even as a word equation, although we can also do it as a chemical equation and we probably should do that. So one of the things that's important about the photosynthesis equation, and here I've written it as a word equation but we should be able to write it as a chemical equation as well, is that if we reverse it, that is if we follow it back the other way, then what most organisms do is consume this breathe in oxygen, consume food or glucose and when we do that, going back this way, we generate energy for us to, you know, go for a run or do the things that we do and we breathe out CO2 and water vapor. And so the process back the other way is the process of respiration in organisms like you and me. So that's quite a nice balance there. So I kind of like it too because if you learn one equation, you kind of get two concepts for the price of one. So that's one of the main mechanisms for getting energy from the sun to the surface of the Earth and particularly how it influences the biosphere.


Welcome back to Movement Matters. I'm your host, Christine Linders, physical therapist and board certified orthopedic clinical specialist.  You will learn everything you need to know about your shoulder, how it works, and what has led you to suffering rotator cuff tendonitis or a tear, bicep tendonitis, shoulder impingement, or even neck pain. You'll also learn what situations or postures are making your shoulder joint vulnerable, leading you to pain or injury. Let's go to video number one. Welcome to Waimanalo State Beach, where we are gonna kick off my Unbreak Your Body series. Session one is Everything Shoulder. So in today's episode, you're gonna learn everything about the shoulder, why you have rotator cuff tendonitis or a tear, how you got a bicep tendonitis, why your neck hurts when you're working all day, et cetera. The shoulder is a complex joint and it relies heavily on the mechanics of the shoulder blade or the scapula in order to function properly. So when we are hunched forward or leaning forward, this shoulder blade moves forward on your rib cage and then the shoulder becomes vulnerable and then your rotator cuff tendons and your bicep tendon, your serratus muscle, everything has to work harder in an abnormal position, leading to fatigue and eventual tendonitis or tears. Today's show, we're gonna learn everything about why you get your shoulder plane and what to do to solve it. Keep tuned. So why do we get shoulder pain? You could fall and get an injury. You can have a sports injury, but one of the main reasons why we have shoulder pain or injury is simple biomechanics. So you're doing something wrong. You may be in the wrong posture. You may have developed tight chest muscles over time, leading you to bend forward. It's all about biomechanics. So let's go to video number two where we learn more. It's important to understand the shoulder biomechanics so that you can understand which exercises may be appropriate to you. So let me give you a little bit of a lesson. So here is our little skeleton here and here's your shoulder blade, the scapula. Your rotator cuff muscles live on the scapula. Right in this fossa is a rotator cuff muscle. Right in here, your supraspinatus, the most commonly torn, runs under this little arch where my finger is and it can get pinched like that with this humerus, the ball of your shoulder socket, pulverizing underneath there. And also this is the coracoid process.  So when you're slouching or not even slouching even, working forward surgeons, physical therapists, anybody typing on a computer, a new mom or dad, this muscle gets tighter and so it holds your shoulder blade forward like that. So now all your rotator cuff muscles here, living underneath your shoulder blade and over here on the edge of your shoulder blade and especially the supraspinatus that runs under here where my finger is, they are operating in a forward position.  You need to do these things to prevent injury. So one simple way is to stretch the pec minor out in your chest muscles to allow your shoulder blade to move back on your rib cage where it belongs. Now there's many ways to do it. You can lay on a foam roll. I have a whole foam roll series that I've shown before in these videos, but what I love is if you put your arms out like you're the letter T and you step into a doorway and your arms don't go bent, they stay straight and you do this and then you put one foot in front of the other. You know you can't see that. In a stride stance, lunge position. So one foot in front of the other, you bend the front knee and you already start feeling tension here. There should be no shoulder pain.  Bend the front knee, push up on the back toe through the door, lift your chest and breathe in, then you switch legs. I can probably squat a little bit here for you to see better.  You can also turn your head a little bit towards the right. You'll feel a lot more. So I started to tell you before the video cut out that if you turn your head a little bit towards the right, you'll start to feel more stretch on the left. So you just angle your body a little bit, take another deep breath in, lift your chest, release that left pec minor, maybe three breaths as you lean through the door.  And you could feel tension in the front of your shoulder but no pain. And then you switch sides, lean through the door, take a deep breath, stretch the right side out, really open that up. It's so important.   So you just learn about how to open up your chest to get the ball better on the socket which is the humerus, your shoulder bone sitting better on the scapula which is the shoulder blade oftentimes many medical professionals, definitely physical therapists talk about this tiny golf tee with a ball, a big like tennis ball sitting on top of it. So the socket that the shoulder sits on is very small and so you need all of your rotator cuff muscles and your scapular stabilizers and a couple other critical muscles to really help keep that functioning well. So let's go to video number three to learn about the unsung hero of the shoulder which is the serratus anterior.  So without the serratus anterior you can't have the stability that you need to be moving your arm around like that. People will have shoulder blade winging or it will move in an erroneous fashion. So the serratus is one of those muscles that can be very frustrating to strengthen because it basically, if you're gonna use it as one action it does that like a punch forward with a straight arm. So some things that you can do that I feel like are watching grass grow but they're very important are a shoulder blade wall pushup.  It is not a pushup. It is a push away. You round your upper back, push away, push away, push away.   While you're away, you're gonna move the other hand up, out into the side. So it would kind of look like this if you could see right here but you're gonna be on the wall.  And the whole time this shoulder right here is pushing away and holding that while you move this one out. So you would be standing here, push away, hold away and out, up, down. I do five times reset, push away and hold that up, outside. Another thing that you can do that feels really good is just take a band and put it behind your back so it stays flat like right around here. Grab some tension in the band and push away. Push away into the resistance. Push away into the resistance. Those are great exercises to work your serratus in standing. These are great exercises that I wanna give you as many options as you can to strengthen the serratus anterior. Some people actually get neck pain that kind of runs from the top of the shoulder blade up to the base of the head and that is usually indicative of a scapula or a shoulder blade that is not quite sitting on the ribcage and it can be for many reasons that it's not sitting properly on the ribcage but one of the reasons is a serratus anterior not being strong enough to stabilize it there. There's other muscles, your rhomboids, your trapezius muscle that will help that but the serratus is often the one that I see in the clinic and people with shoulder pain that has been missed or forgotten when it comes to strengthening. A lot of us like to do rotator cuff strengthening, scapula strengthening, but this muscle lives under your shoulder blade and attaches to your ribs. So those exercises that you saw, they can be a little frustrating. They're definitely tedious. They can be forgotten. So let's go to video number four to learn a few other serratus exercises for ya. Two great serratus anterior exercises to get you started while you're lying down are these.  So what you're going to do is you're gonna reach the ceiling but you're gonna push. You can see if you can see it, butter. You can push out into the band here like you're opening the band like this. Out into the band and then you raise and reach up towards the ceiling as you move over your head. Reach up toward the ceiling and you go from about this angle up toward the ceiling. You're not back here up towards the ceiling. Engage that serratus anterior. Reach up towards the ceiling. Another favorite I like to do is to oscillate it like this. So you reach and you oscillate. Get that muscle going. Get some of your rotator cuff stabilizers going. Work the proprioception. Reach toward the ceiling the whole entire time. It's a great exercise, very easy on the shoulder. So those are a couple of great ways that I tend to start people off on your back where you can get the proprioception of your shoulder blades touching your bed or touching the floor and you can feel them moving forward on your rib cage off of the floor while you do these exercises. But also I start many of my patients that way because they're laying down and so gravity is off the rotator cuff. So if you're suffering a rotator cuff tear, impingement, bicep tendon pain or in general shoulder pain, doing things sitting with your arms out here is more difficult because now gravity is putting a load and your body needs to react to that to hold the arm in the air. But when you're laying down, your shoulder or your arm is directly in line with gravity with those exercises. So it's a great way to get started. I found it to be the only way when someone had severe shoulder pain to get them to work the serratus without pain, which is very important. I wanna highlight that point. Okay, so you learned about serratus. You learned a little bit about how your neck can be hurting you if you're sitting in a slouched posture. Let's learn about some rotator cuff exercise that you can do in video five. These exercises are a must for anyone who has rotator cuff trouble or weakness in their shoulder blade. You need to work your rotators. So you lay on your side. This is a three pound weight. You can put your arm here and you rotate it down and up. I tell people, it's not about how far you go up. It's more that you can do it without pain in and out. So if you can only go this range or you could only do it without a weight, that's what you need to do. You might need to put a little roll between your arm here to increase some space so your supraspinatus tendon doesn't get pinched if you're having a lot of inflammation, bursitis, or you have impingement. That's a great one. Just sideline external rotation.  So I tend to go up from the horizontal a bit and I'll do 20 circles, making sure to reach forward 20 circles one way, 20 circles another way. And the reason why I like to call it a clock, my friend Tammy gave me this exercise is go from horizontal to vertical up and down. So if you stamped a clock on your head, this would be three or nine o'clock depending on which arm you're doing. Horizontal towards vertical. Then you go up to about two o'clock. Horizontal to vertical. Horizontal to vertical. Then you go around one o'clock which is about eyeball a clock I say. Horizontal to vertical.  I like to do those. So if you're gonna watch from behind, this is how it looks. So the first one, external rotation. Work that rotator cuff. It's a great post undo the sport exercise for any paddling, surfing, volleyball, tennis, anything. Pickleball. And here's the clocks. You punch forward, do your circles just above the horizontal 20 times one direction, 20 times the other direction. Then you do your clocks. You reach forward horizontal to vertical. Horizontal to vertical. Three or nine o'clock then you're moving up. Two o'clock. Working that shoulder blade complex, working your rotator cuff. And enjoy a better feeling healthy shoulder. I know I'm giving you a lot of exercises but you can go through this video many times to digest the material and pick a few of these exercises. The next video I'm gonna show you is gonna show you some of the very simple ones that help you improve your posture which improves the position of your shoulder and your shoulder blade as well as activating the serratus and activating your scapular muscles to help you. Let's go to the next video. These are a few more of my favorite exercises to help you get a well functioning shoulder.  There should be no pain. Squeezing your shoulder blades is the key. Squeezing your shoulder blades, helping to work the scapular muscles and the rotator cuff muscles. You can do it with a band or not. The key is that it's pain free. So if you're gonna use a band, palms up, rotate away. Keep your elbows in, let your shoulder blade squeeze, initiate the motion. Also, if you wanna get rid of some of the neck tension, this is one of my favorites that I've done after work for years. You take the band and you reach up to get the serratus in volume and then you get the scapular muscles and the rotator cuff, lift your chest to the band. Lift your chest up to the band. So the key is not to have your shoulders hiking up like this. To keep them down and your neck long to really work the scapular depressors, the ones that anchor that shoulder blade onto your rib cage and also pulling the band out helps to work your rotator cuff and get the tension out of your neck if you've caught yourself hunching. Another one of my favorites that works the scapular muscles and it really is great for posture is if you tie a band onto a railing or around a bar and then you pull your hand straight back. So what I'm doing is I'm lifting my chest, pulling the band straight to my thighs. You don't wanna pull the band past because you don't wanna strain the front of your shoulder here. You just wanna lift your chest, pull the hands back. Lift your chest, pull the hands back.  Another favorite that has helped me with my shoulder pain over the years that will work your serratus as well is to, let's see, I'll show you here. Hold the band in one hand here and then you just lift your chest to get in the proper position and pull and slowly release. Pull your arms straight to your hip and slowly release. So from the side, without the band, it would look like this. You don't start here, you're up here. You pull the band straight and release. Pull the band straight and release. That is great to get your shoulder blade functioning so it can sit on your rib cage and help your rotator cuff.  I found a great way to do this and that is to pull upward toward the ceiling to elongate the libator scapula, that same with the muscle and then you pull your head over. So the key is to pull up and elongate the neck and then pull over and then you can look down to your armpit to get even more of a stretch back here. Enjoy. I have had five shoulder surgeries. I grew very fast when I was a youth and I dislocated my shoulders left, right and center and so I have had five stabilization surgeries to kind of keep my ball on my socket because all those ligamentous tissues got too stretched out. So I rely heavily on all these exercises to keep my shoulders stable so that I can help people with their bodies in the clinic every day. And I think sometimes these videos and these instructional videos might seem random. I'm talking about the neck, talking about the shoulder blade, I'm talking about the shoulder but I have lived this for, I don't wanna say how many years. So I know all the best things to do to keep your arm functioning. So I want you to really like pick those exercises, grab the band, pull straight down. This has taken me years and decades to find the best ones that you can do just say like five exercises versus 30 exercises, the most effective exercise that the majority of people will get maximum relief from. So I hope you get to watch this video over and over and over again. One of my patients favorites is the next video, video number seven, which combines everything. Now let's really improve that posture. Let's get that shoulder blade sitting up on the rib cage so that your shoulder can be supported. You can take a band and hang it up over the door and put a knot in it. I know you can't see it yet but you will in a minute.  Pull your shoulder blades down, anchoring those shoulder blades onto the wall, long neck, excellent for working that scapular stabilizers, keeping all the tension out of your upper traps, out of your neck. If you want, you can also face the door and lean in a little bit.   That is a favorite one of all of my patients.  So the band is wide and you're gonna put it right in the back of your neck, right here.   You wanna push the neck back into the band and then you could also punch your shoulder forward. That gets your serratus. So you're not only getting your neck stabilizers, you're getting serratus. And then you are going to open your arms a little bit to the V position and then close. Open close, open close. I usually do 20 times. Make sure it doesn't pull forward, push your head back. Then you can also turn your head to the right, turn your head to the left to really stabilize those muscles on your rib cage, get your shoulder healthy and give it a some neck pain by improving your posture. I thought it would be fun to pull some of the other amazing physical therapists that I know to see what their favorite exercises are for the shoulder. So Kiao at East Oahu Physical Therapy where I work, my coworker gave me this one as a warm-up. So you basically start, I'm gonna move back here a little bit.    And see how this elbow, whoops, this elbow is flaring out a little bit. That's the one I had three surgeries on so I'm still recovering. But you wanna keep the elbow in and develop those proper mechanics. You don't wanna see like hiking up like that. You don't wanna see the elbow flaring like that. You wanna try to develop the mechanics. So if you can only go this high with your elbows in and come down, that's okay. You're trying to improve your biomechanics. That's what we learned is the secret here to having a healthy shoulder. So again, don't let that flare out. Keep it in, watch yourself in the mirror like I'm kind of watching myself in the camera to do that. So that's from Kiao at my job. And the next video, video number eight is Chris Krug, a physical therapist here in the islands at Krugpt.com to show you some more advanced shoulder exercises. Most shoulder pain solutions are eventually going to involve strengthening of the rotator cuff.  But if you're an overhead athlete, your rotator cuff really needs to be strong up in this position. So baseball players, tennis players, or just someone who works overhead a lot. Then an option for you may be to step on the band. I like to use the opposite foot. Bring your shoulder up to almost shoulder height, not quite, and your elbows bent at 90 degrees. From this position, you're just going to do the exact same motion, but in an elevated position. And again, controlled motion. And that should strengthen your rotator cuff up in those elevated ranges that you need as an overhead athlete. I know that exercise all too well because it kept me on the volleyball court and swimming for more information. You can check out Chris at Krugpt.com. But thank you for sending in that video to me. And the last video that we're going to look at is from my coworker, Reina, at East Oahu Physical Therapy, where she shows her favorite shoulder exercise. This is a great exercise. So the reason why she has the blue band around the arm is I'm actually pulling back into that band to set my shoulder blade on my rib cage. And then I'm working the rotator cuff that Chris Krug showed you in that previous video. So it's advanced exercise. If you're an athlete, a swimmer, any kind of arm use athlete, that is going to be an exercise that you need. And again, I'm making sure not to hike my shoulder blade. I am retracting my shoulder blade back into the band here and then moving here, it's not this.  So I hope you've enjoyed some of those videos. We do have a couple of questions. I have a rotator cuff tear, do I need surgery? So not everyone that has a rotator cuff tear needs surgery. Oftentimes you'll go to physical therapy first and you'll fix those things that you need, like fix your posture if you are hunching forward. And now your shoulder blade is forward on your rib cage. You need to fix your posture. You need to stretch that pec minor muscle if you're in front of you, like one of my friends is dental hygienist. She has a lot of shoulder pain because she's leaning forward and bending. And she has to undo her job every day by stretching her chest and re-educating her shoulder blade muscles and her rotator cuff and her neck in all of those exercises that you have seen before so that she doesn't have pain or have injury. So if you have a rotator cuff tear and you are able to go to physical therapy and fix all those things, you may be able to not have surgery and that is what we call a coper.  Other times the tear is too severe.   Okay, the next question is I don't understand what my posture has to do with my shoulder pain. Okay, so I think I might have answered that for you. And how long should I spend doing these shoulder exercises every day? So I just had a challenge for all my patients and family and friends on October 1st. I said, I think every day people should try to do seven minutes timed of some sort of physical therapy exercise whether it's shoulder blades, greases for your posture, the W stick them up, doing some calf stretches or pec stretches or something for your body. So it takes me 15 minutes to do my whole routine after volleyball. Maybe it's a little bit less than that but I do spend 15 minutes doing it. Some days I spend five minutes. Sometimes it's two minutes in between patients where I do that one band that I showed you from high to low to kind of undo my posture. I just wanna make sure that you do something better for your body so that you can unbreak your body and feel great. If you have questions or you would like to email me you can email me at clindersrun at gmail.com. If you have ideas for my unbreak your body series I would love to hear it. Thank you everyone for joining us. Thank you to ThinkTekHawaii and all our sponsors and donors for allowing us to be here today. Mahalo, life is better. We need to listen to your physical therapist.

The development of catalytic Friedel-Crafts alkylations using Benzyl-Dash, Propagyl and Allyl alcohols or styrenes as substrates has gained attention over the last decade, with low catalyst loadings needed to produce a wide range of products. This approach is considered more environmentally friendly than classical Friedel-Crafts conditions that use toxic Benzyl halides. The review also highlights the first diastereoselective and enantioselective Friedel-Crafts type alkylations. This article was authored by Magnus Ruping and Boris J. Naksheim.


And in BSU tennis today, they were taking on Minnesota Crookston. They swept the doubles, trying to do the same in the singles. At six singles, it was Hannah Peterson getting the point there. She forces her opponent to go along. She wins 6-0, 6-0. And at fifth singles, Lanie Rakowski playing it up at the net. Her opponent can't do anything to stop her. She gets the attack for the point. BSU wins all of their matches, only drops three games combined. If you enjoyed this segment of Lakeland News, please consider making a tax-deductible contribution to Lakeland PBS.


I just made a video titled the most toxic run only Madden team and it is the most toxic team But literally a day after this came out King Henry with insane stats size But mainly abilities King Henry gets an ability called freight train that is specific to his card It starts the game Activated on top of that you could give him recuperation You could give him persistence so it's harder to take it off of him go line back tank and bruiser We thought quad father was bad. We thought AJ Dylan quad father was bad This is so much worse so so so much worse So I know we were just doing the most toxic run only team But this is even more toxic actually in fact you could run King Henry with his freight train and AJ Dylan with his freight train You don't need any of the abilities I put on Derek Henry I just doing that for overkill this whole video is gonna be King Henry my whole offensive line is decked out the block for Derek Henry I won't waste your time. Let's hop in the milk man. King Henry and Megatron champ Okay, he's got a good team beautiful, but I wanted to see still got a play defense little Bo Jackson user Let's get this ball back so I can rush for 400 yards My corner out is not open.  Oh Good laser, but he dropped it fourth and five Brady needs a good one on Santa Blitz I'm just gonna get in there Bo Jackson on fourth and vibe. Nice play Tries to run the ball goes and nowhere Nice ball. Let's see what he likes here. I see two o'clock on purpose Let's go Brady goes down.  Oh Nice touch down there from him. I get to do the King Henry stuff. That's what we were waiting for Also, what if I told you I could make your water taste like blueberry or maybe wild berry or if you're feeling spontaneous I could even make it taste like orange vanilla swirl But the real catch is I wouldn't be adding anything to your water to make it taste like that This is the beauty of air up and they're sponsoring today's video and ever since I received my first air up water bottle It's been an absolute game changer. Here's how it works. This right here is an air up water bottle Super high quality as it stands, but when you add a flavor pod is when it starts to get really amazing So here's a wild berry flavor pot I'm gonna pop it out and pop it on to my air up water bottle Now press down it is not activated but pulled up like this and it's ready to go You ever heard the saying that most of your taste is in your smell. Well, that's not just a saying it is science So when I go to sit my water from the air up water bottle here the scent from the flavor pod Travels into my brain and it makes the water taste amazing But it is not literally adding anything to the water So there are a lot of ways to enhance the flavor of water But you got to add sugar and all these additives and air up does the opposite it adds literally nothing So that drink of water tastes like wild berry water and yet it was just water you guys get the idea This is air up an amazing new way to stay hydrated as always There is a link in the top of the description click that to check out air up for yourself I know it's gonna maze you the same way it did for me and enjoy the rest of the video first to 10 Let's see it King Henry.  All right now, let's go play extra you won't expect it.  Oh cut this back. Go right at him. I'm not really built for passing the ball How did he lose his x-factor? I didn't know I could actually lose the x-factor somehow I just threw a completion of George Kittle right there. I really don't know what happened there Wait a minute. So King Henry might not be as busted. It looks like his x-factor turns itself off But as AJ Dylan had it on the entire time Or maybe I need persistent No way you can catch me Doesn't matter don't need the ability it's a man. I'm gonna go stretch left. Let's see King Henry goal line back He is unhappy his run plays aren't going much anywhere and he keeps attacking these these Corner routes. I just got to go cover a corner route. I think with Micah Parsons Is he intentionally chewing the clock to look at this this guy uses the whole play clock to call adjustments What are you even doing man? You didn't have any adjustments to make anymore. God. I can't believe he completed that nice play That's kind of toxic bro. He's like just making every play last as long as humanly possible. Oh, it's good defense Oh, he might be running the football like dude. Why is he chewing the clock? There's no clock to chew there He's using the whole play clock just to run a run play when the clock is stuck. That's toxic, bro I really hope we can win this one. Look at this. He's gonna do it again. He does it every play He's gonna do it again. He does this every play.  Oh Could be a big one That's a bummer that could have been huge fourth and five good defense He's just gonna take his field goal and I got time though. I got a one-point lead now losing by two But I got time in three timeouts. All right, let's just keep pounding the run game first and ten I'm still gonna send this he's up. Oh, damn got a little bottled up I actually feel like that could go somewhere almost got freight train again not quite but almost I think I have the blockers for this He's gonna get all the way to the 50. I'm not using a timeout yet freight train is now activated snap Yep, follow your blocks. Oh no way. He got that. I can't believe he got that tackle So it looks like this one actually turns itself up though So how many plays do I get with freight train? Is it just like three or something trying to figure out how it got Turned off earlier. Yeah, he only gets it for four only gets it for four offensive downs still really good I'm gonna run to the right side here. Oh, let's take this up the middle looking good Another first down we're in field goal range already. I would like to touch down though I think Megatron takes this guy or we don't go. Oh, yeah, he might actually have him. Damn. How did that guy? How did Morris Taylor get to me? I couldn't even breathe. All right, this is a read option. I technically could keep this I didn't mean to do that That's such a huge mistake and not me to do that I tried to hand that off and I don't have Lamar's ability on so he will fumble somebody tries Ice play he might just get another field goal. Oh He ran the ball Just taking the field goal would have been nice if we had held him up a little bit longer to this guy's so toxic Bro, please just kick it. Please don't take 30 seconds to kick it. Okay. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you Thank you. Oh, I could add Lamar's ability though Well, I would be able to add Lamar's ability if it would let me adjust anything But it won't since it's frozen. I can win with King Henry. All right King Henry. We got to get moving man We're down. I turned the ball over got to make some big plays now second in two nine rushes 105 yards ain't bad though I'm gonna stick with that exact same play. I liked how those blacks set up Well, they did not set up nearly as well I'll take another step. I'm gonna go right up the middle this time Let's go with an ISO to the left side. Oh, I like that I should probably wait for my fullback, but I was scared his user was gonna sneak through that I'm gonna do the same thing. I'm gonna go the stretch this time. No ISO, but the stretch Yup Get out there blockers. Yes, sir. Oh, oh, I touched the edge.  You know, I'm breaking that I'm gonna try and get to the edge once more. Yup. We're there great blocks on the user. He won't switch on He's too scared second and two. Wow the stretch alert bubble is killing him right now We're averaging 10.2 yards per carry something discussing like that his pause the game this guy's so toxic How can I call someone toxic if I just ran stretch six times? I need to I need to slow my roll here Seconds and two. I don't know why he pause. Maybe he's just fed up But we're third and one and we should have freight train. Yeah, there's freight train. He just spread his D line Wait, why? Oh, did I get that? Fourth and inches. He's gonna run commit. Let's get to the edge I'm doing the stretch.  The stretch is gonna be there I don't see the first down marker. I don't need it. Let's do it again. Get to the edge I'm cutting up the middle now.  We're gonna pass this time Break it. Oh, I gotta break that dude. I thought for sure. I thought for sure. He was run committing again I'm going to the edge. Let's go third and 11. Let's go. Yes. Get there, Henry We gotta break that fourth and two. We gotta break that same thing gotta get to the edge. Let's go Let's go I'm going inside zone here. He's on weapon X. He's ready for it. Oh boy That's quite the run commit a one point lead is a one point lead, baby 20 rushes 173 yards two touchdowns king Henry Why is stretch alert bubble giving him so much trouble? We got to get ourselves a turnover gentlemen He ran the ball out of this last time. I think Ooh, William Perry big hit though first in 10. This is so toxic He literally sits here and calls adjustments until there's like two seconds I don't think he's actually adjusting anything.  He's gonna do it again. He's gonna do it again This is so annoying. Are you trying to chew clock kick a field goal? Michael you got to get there, buddy. We turn them over and we don't have to deal with this anymore Is this on purpose?  He's gonna get a delay a game. Maybe no But he does lose four yards on the rush.  Yep. He's out of bounds third and eight nice play. That was a big one We needed a play like that right there. He's definitely gonna go with a corner route He just hits them on both sides. So it's it's really tough to stop Yeah, there's the corner out. I think he's always not out of bounds that time. That's a bummer Maybe he's a subscriber. He's just really excited to be in a video. He really wants to win I don't know. That's how I'm hoping man. I'm almost gonna play aggressively rather turn the ball over than just outright lose Dude, like look at this. Are you kidding? Like he just did all of that on the two minute warning to God No, I am in his head rent free. This guy does not like me. Was it all the king henry?  No way. We didn't intercept that. I gotta let him score here Oh, he passes now. I'm hoping he'll score if he goes for a touchdown be the best case scenario for me, I think If he goes for two, I gotta stop him. That's nice though. If he had kept you in that clock, get the field goal We for sure lose Oh for a second there. He didn't have that. All right, nice play good two-point conversion Dude, my opponent's really good. He's just kind of toxic I can't tell if it's on purpose or maybe he's just not paying any attention So it's taking him a long time to play. I don't know but I'd love to get this win if I can Let's see if he's figured out how to stop the run I only have two timeouts. It's gonna be tough to do the same stuff. I've been doing with Derek Henry. All right, king Henry, let's get to that edge, baby His user missed. We're out of bounds. Let's go He had me with the user dude I don't know like if I if I were to get the touchdown and you go for two here We go into overtime. I'm scared. His offense is so lethal. I don't know if overtime is the right call His offense is great, dude.  Oh, he saw that good play. He saw the same cutback I saw I haven't even passed the ball all game. I don't even think I know how to pass right now Let's see if George Kittle gets open Does not switch on does not need to yikes.  All right, I'm gonna give the ball to Derek Henry on 1411 It's the Derek Henry video. I gotta do it. All right, king Henry. Let's get to that edge. Oh my god Oh, I got 12 seconds. I'm on the 32. I have one time out. All right. I'm going to the edge again. I mean, it's there Good broken tackle Derek Henry is a myth.  He's got all these god-spot players All right, I'm doing it Get out of bounds. Get out of bounds. Oh, I have a time out. All right. I just I just gave us a shot That's it. All we have is one shot. We got to go up. We got to catch this ball right here I'd love to get to the Derek Henry again, but I can't not with three seconds left. We just got to make a play here. That's it I'm going to a It was William Perry Fall back. Damn it. Oh, that was a great game.  Derek. Henry went off. I fumbled with Lamar I fumbled with Lamar and that's the difference there. That was such a huge fumble He got a field goal and then another field goal out of it. So Lamar was two for five 19 yards Actual dog water literally did nothing a 51 qbr. He's 50 for 18 two touchdowns. So Brady outplayed Lamar Let's just say that but these aren't the worst stats in the world 25 for 232 9.2 yards per carry two touchdowns nine broken tackles 83 yards after contact three yards of 20 or more. 41 was the longest absolute insanity I accomplished what I wanted to accomplish. It wouldn't have been nice, but you can't win them all That was a blast boys. I hope you guys enjoyed best promo they ever dropped I hope we get the most cracked ridiculous wide receiver just like these running backs are. Love you boys Thanks for watching as always. I'll see you in the next one. Peace


Hi welcome everyone my name is Dr Gina Heathcote. I'm going to talk on the MA in gender and sexuality in this webinar so welcome thanks for joining us. So I am a staff member at the Center for Gender Studies where we run four different programs MA in Gender Studies, MA in Gender Studies and the studies in the Middle East, MA in Gender Sexuality and MA in Gender Studies and Law. If you want to know more about any of the programs or particularly the MA in Gender and Sexuality which is what I'm talking about today you can drop me an email or if you want to ask me a question as we go feel free to type a question into the box. I'm only going to talk about gender studies and sexuality today although I'll give you a wider sense of the center and how it works at the same time. So the Center for Gender Studies has four permanent staff members and Professor Nadia Ali who's our center chair, myself. I am the program convener for the MA in Gender Studies and Law or the happy program convener for all the different programs and familiar with them and in fact it was me that proposed and set up both gender studies and law and the gender and sexuality programs and very familiar with them. Dr Winoa Ketch is the program convener for the MA in Gender Studies and she's also the convener of the core course that you'll take while you're here in Gender Theory which I'm going to talk to in a moment. Dr Ali Oshuja will be your program convener on the MA in Gender and Sexuality and they are also the convener of the Famicom Queer to Asper course which is one of the core courses that you take on the Gender and Sexuality program. Right so in addition to the four of us we're really enhanced by the number of colleagues that work at SOAS working on issues of gender and sexuality in fact across the departments of SOAS we're really proud to say that we have colleagues working in every department so across the 10 11 units at SOAS we have colleagues who are center members and they support both the teaching and dissertation supervision as well as events that we run here at the center so you're likely to encounter them many of them are working particularly on the study of sexuality in the SOAS regions and they provide fantastic support particularly for this program on the MA in Gender and Sexuality. Okay our administrative support is provided by our department officer Vianne Higley as a former student of ours and who can be contacted at genderstudiesatsoas.ac.uk. She can help you with anything from course enrolments to getting access to different kinds of support across the SOAS the whole of SOAS really so do get in touch with herself or myself if you have any questions at the end of this. Okay so what's the Center for Gender Studies? Well we're an interdisciplinary center studies gender in an intersectional way and sort of more practically we have both a taught graduate program and a research program so the research postgraduate program is our doctoral program you will be taking your core core student theory alongside our first year research students or doctoral students once you arrive at SOAS and we promote an active research community mostly through our events but also through our teaching you'll have the opportunity to work with colleagues and encounter the research of colleagues across different parts of SOAS and how within that do we approach gender we think we're unique in the way that we come at gender and think about gender and I would say in your degree also sexuality first and foremost we're interdisciplinary now I said before that as an interdisciplinary center we we have colleagues working across the different disciplines at SOAS but in fact I think it's more than that I think we think about what it means to undertake gender as an interdisciplinary study when when we encounter the knowledge that you that is put together through the different parts of the degree at the same time we think about gender as intersectional so this means that rather than encountering gender as a description of certain bodies you look at how gender forms a power relation that works in intersection with other power relations be they race class sexuality religion and so on so we encourage students to think through gender as a power relation and as an analytical tool to understand the perpetuation of certain kinds of discrimination not just gender discrimination on the gender studies and sexuality degree obviously you will put sexuality at the center about and think through the relationship between gender and sexuality but also in the intersection with race class able-bodiness for example so as an institution has a huge project about around decolonizing the curriculum and the Center for Gender Studies is very much committed to that and this is about thinking about how we encounter and make assumptions about what knowledge we value how we challenge that how we not only incorporate different kinds of voices but that we are attentive to what we privilege and and our own privilege in sometimes blinkering the way that we encounter knowledge at the same time we're very proud of the different queer trends perspectives that we've incorporated as a solid part both of your core modules general core modules such as gender theory but also as the discrete studies in sexuality that are part of your degree if you're on this program it should go without saying that we approach gender and sexuality through the lens of non-western approaches in that we regard particularly the study feminist histories but also history of sexuality in the so as regions not as something to be discovered or to add it on added on to existing western approaches but as foundational knowledge projects in and of themself I think this enriches the degree in a really powerful way and asks you to really think about the way that you think about things not only through gender but in terms of positionality for example okay so as I said we program structures across the MA in gender studies the MA in gender studies pathway on the Middle East and the MA in gender and sexuality in the MA in gender and more slightly different so I'm going to go up through and focus particularly on the MA in gender and sexuality which is the focus of this webinar like all programs first graduate tour programs at service you are required to take 180 credits across your degree whether you're part-time or full-time 60 of those credits will be earned through the completion of your dissertation which I'm going to talk about separately in a moment and 120 credits will be from your taught credits so the courses that you take on campus and this incorporates both core and optional modules for the students on the MA in gender and sexuality they are required to take the following core courses so first of all the course that all our students take whether you're a first year research student or on any of our different gender studies programs all our students take the gender theory and the study of Asia Africa and the Middle East as I mentioned before this course is run by Dr. Owino O'Ketch it runs for the full years so across two terms of teaching and in addition to lectures you will have tutorials where you get the opportunity to work in small groups and really kind of take a slow kind of considered approach to the different knowledge that you're encountering and thinking about you know academic skills in terms of writing from an interdisciplinary intersectional gender perspective as a student on the gender and sexuality course you're required to take two modules which would normally be optional modules queer and feminist diaspora studies and I think that course is feminist and queer diaspora studies and the module queer politics in Asia Africa and the Middle East these look at different sets of knowledge thinking around sexuality in the application of sexuality in the SOAS regions and the diasporas both hugely popular modules and hugely enriching modules as well in addition to that all of our students take a dissertation in dissertation methods in gender studies so if you're part time this will be in the last year of your degree if your full time this will be in term one this is of course run by Owino O'Ketch and it gives you the opportunity to think through the practical requirements of your dissertation and to advance the intellectual approach to your dissertation you'll be given the opportunity to give a presentation and to also kind of ask any questions you have about dissertation at the end of the course which runs for term one only in the middle of term two you're required to have another proposal a dissertation proposal that will be assessed by colleagues if given feedback and guidance from colleagues your remaining optional modules should come from what we call list one so if you look on the gender studies website pages the set of gender studies website pages we have two different lists of modules and your modules should really come from 45 credits so that's the equivalent of one full module so or and one half modules but it could of course be three half modules and this should be courses that have gender and sexuality as part of their focus and if you've got any questions about particular modules please do get in touch or if there's something that you think you'd like to study but it's not on that list we can talk to the program convener about maybe thinking about how that might be accommodated on top of all that you work on a dissertation across the year and then certainly over the summer as well so I'm just going to move to the slide that focuses on dissertations dissertation projects are 10 000 words for centre for gender studies students after you finish the dissertation proposal or dissertation methods unit and your proposal by the way of assessment for that you will be allocated a supervisor either one of the members of cgs staff who i listed before or because of the nature of your dissertation we will choose you find your specialist in your research area from the broader centre for gender studies members list it is required for this degree that not only should your studies your dissertation relate to your studies it serves in the sense of engaging the so-as regions and their diaspora communities but that it should be on sexuality for you to qualify for the degree and obviously I hope that that's self-evident but if you have questions about that again you can talk to your program convener drop me an email we've got plenty of time to design that and think about how that works after you've designed your topic and put it through for assessment on the dissertation in gender studies module once you know who your supervisor is we encourage you to meet with your supervisor during term two and term three in term time usually about three students the first three meetings should be sufficient and this is allows you to really kind of focus on the design get it of the project get it right in the sense of most people kind of come up with something slightly too broad so narrow the project appropriately think about the kind of use of interdisciplinary skills and how you reflect the work that you've done in your core modules perhaps or some of your optional modules as well at the end of the talk terms over the summer that's when most people write the bulk of their dissertations and it will then be due in September of your academic well you know at the end of the academic year great so the last thing that I want to go through is to just really emphasise that coming to the centre for gender studies at CERS is more than just coming to your talk courses in particular we expect our gender studies students to attend a fortnightly seminar series and this is an opportunity for you to hear cutting-edge research across the different disciplines across the different regions of service through the seminar series is very popular public event but is also something that we expect our master students to attend in fact it's a great year for studying gender and sexuality your program convener aliyoshituta along with our colleague dr Rahul Rao who is a colleague in the politics department but also a centre for gender studies member we're running a conference titled gender x that looks at understandings of gender identity and sexual identity in the CERS regions fantastic decolonising project that's going ahead in march 2019 but if you can't wait to learn what to suggest you do is you get on the website and or on facebook and look up queer asia this is an annual conference run every year in june was set up by some of our students former students form ma student from this program actually he started the ma in gender and sexuality despite having returned to india which is his home he still puts together the queer asia conference every year with a colleague one of our research students here at soas and it's huge it's fantastic it's fabulous the first event will be five p.m tuesday the 26th of june so if you're in london and you're able to come along to queer asia i absolutely recommend that you come and get involved and see some of the debates that kind of you would be immersed in when you take on this program and the great kind of research events that stem from that great so um that's about all i've got to say thank you um so much for your time if you've got a question feel free to type it in and i'll do my best to answer it if you think of a question later drop me an email and i'll come back to you thank you very much
