Today, I have the distinct pleasure of speaking with Dr. Michael Pivovar. How are you today? I'm doing very well, Tracy. Thank you very much. I know you're in high demand, so we're just going to hit you with the questions. We're all dying, dying to ask you. So number one, this is my personal favorite from our audience. If President Trump calls you and says, how to deal with the COVID-19 virus, what would you recommend for our markets? We'd love your number one piece of advice, please. Sure. Even in my background, the number one piece of advice would be keep the financial markets open. The financial markets are playing a critical role in the response to the crisis. They're providing liquidity for people who need cash right now to be able to sell their financial assets and turn it into cash and use it to do things like meet, pay roll or their mortgage payments or things like that. They're providing opportunities for people who want to step in and use this as a buying opportunity and to put a floor on the prices right now. And the other thing they're doing is that they're giving both investors and policymakers critical information in terms of price discovery. So it's not only the fact that the overall market averages tend to have wild swings. So last week, they were very much down. This week, we've had more of a recovery. But also, we're getting very good information about the relative prices of various industries and various firms in the equity markets in particular. But also, I know your audience is very much interested in various commodity prices in terms of what the future is going to look like in terms of future earnings, of companies or aggregate demand and supply conditions for various commodities. And so the markets are providing great information not only for investors, but for policymakers as they think through the response to the crisis, whether it's financial assistance or economic stimulus or those types of things. So my first piece of advice is do whatever we can to keep the financial markets open. They seem to be working very well. The equity markets, even though we had them hit the circuit breakers last week, I think it was four times on the downside. I think that's actually evidence that the markets are working. We've seen no stresses in the infrastructure around the trading of that. The futures market also is providing very good information for various commodities and interest rates. We saw that there was a failure of one particularly small clearing firm. It had a particular bet on the VIX and they went down. But what we saw there was that the post financial crisis reforms in terms of members of clearing houses and taking care of their portfolios and winding them down and selling them off, that is all working very well. We saw that the Federal Reserve has stepped in in the credit markets and the Federal Reserve is providing along with Treasury much needed liquidity in those markets, whether it's the repo markets or the money markets, the commercial paper market, even in some cases the corporate bond market, to keep those markets open and making sure that there's enough liquidity in those markets so that the prices that are produced from that are informative, like I say, for investors and for policymakers and also allow people to liquidate their assets, to use it as a buying opportunity and to maybe hedge some existing positions. We both have dealt with a lot of brokers over the years. I would say having them work from home could be a major benefit for all of us. It's amazing how people are looking at what does this mean in terms of people are going to be having to be working from home. The Securities and Exchange Commission has done some relief for some of the trading firms and for some of the market makers in terms of some of the compliance issues they have to deal with. Normally we think about some of the brokers and the trading desks of the broker-dealers, the large firms. They have to record every conversation and the chats and all those sorts of things for confirmations for trades and they've given some relief for the fact that people are working from home and trying to work through these issues. We saw that the New York Stock Exchange for the first time in its history has kept its market open at the same time closing the trading floor and they went to fully electronic trading on Monday. They announced it last Wednesday to give traders time. They did testing over the weekend and by all accounts, trading has gone on fine in the markets. There's some volatility in the markets but that seems to be the good volatility, the fundamental volatility, not the bad volatility, the transitory volatility. You've made some excellent points, numerous ones in fact. The digital media market, for instance, the online trading, the infrastructure for handling that yesterday, you actually hosted on behalf of your role as the executive director for the Milken Institute a debate with five former SEC commissioners that was hosted by George Stout, correct? Well it was actually five former SEC chief economists and I was the one former commissioner who was there and the reason why they wanted me is because turns out I'm only the third PhD economist to be a commissioner at the Securities and Exchange Commission in the entire history of the agency. It's mostly lawyers which makes sense because they're the ones who write the security and enforce the securities regulations in accordance with the law but I always found it, my background of being an economist was very helpful to me in my role there and you're right. We hosted a webinar, it was actually hosted by the Georgetown University Center for Financial Markets and Policy where I'm a distinguished policy fellow and what we wanted to do was have a public conversation about the importance of keeping the markets open and so the title of the conference was should markets be closed and there was an emphatic no among all five of the former SEC chief economists and myself for the reasons that I just described. They provide particularly the equity markets and the bond markets, the capital markets in general provide liquidity, they also provide price discovery and then two of the panelists were also former commissioners at the CFTC and they talked about the importance of leaving markets open so that people can manage their risk. Risk management strategies are important not only for financial institutions but for end users who have to hedge their exposure to various commodities and I know your audience is very interested in rare earth minerals and those types of things and so keeping those markets open is very, very important not only for the speculators in those markets but also for the hedgers in those markets so that the producers, the end users can keep producing the products that you and I have to buy that now we have to get delivered to our house that we can't actually sometimes buy in the grocery stores. Okay well the bankers we're talking to say there's plenty of money out there and they're looking for places to put it so because of your various rules can you talk to us a little bit about the public private integration of funds and some of the ideas that Milken Institute is currently dealing with to deal with this pandemic? Yeah so we're doing some exciting work at the Milken Institute so I run what's called the Center for Financial Markets and within the Institute there's seven different centers some of them are health related and they're on the front lines of what's going on in the COVID-19 pandemic for example our Faster Cures Center is working very closely with a lot of the people who are developing the vaccines and we actually have a vaccine tracker on our website where people can go there and see the various developments that are going on for the various firms that are working on not only vaccines but also some of the therapeutic things that are involved with that. The Center for Financial Markets what we try to do is make sure that the markets work for people who need them and when they need them and that they provide access to capital particularly for economically disadvantaged individuals but also throughout the economy and you mentioned public private partnerships we had started on an initiative even before the COVID-19 crisis that we call resilient infrastructure financing and what that what that project is basically about is that we know that there's a great need in the United States to improve our infrastructure and here in Washington DC at the federal government level it's almost become a joke where people say oh it's infrastructure week again right and and the federal government can really never get its act together in terms of Congress and the president thinking through funding various infrastructure initiatives at the same time there's many smaller projects that state and and local municipalities need to fund and so before the crisis we were thinking about things like wastewater treatment plants and not only in terms of you know redoing those or coming up with you know and replacing those but there's this notion of what we call resilient infrastructure and so if you think of California if you want if California is going to invest in something they're gonna be really concerned on the front end now about making it resilient in terms of the next wildfire or the next earthquake or if you're in one of the coastal states thinking about you know the next hurricane or the next flood and so there's a lot of municipalities that are interested in doing some sort of resilient infrastructure whether it's replacing old systems like wastewater treatment plants that are 30 40 50 years old very bad for the environment use a lot of electricity with something that's more resilient and then maybe even some newer projects like rolling out infrastructure for 5G and the exciting developments that that's gonna bring to us and so those are things we were thinking of ahead of time and so why are we involved at the Milken Institute well these municipalities want to do it but they're basically tapped out in terms of their resources they can't fund it themselves in many cases you know even if you have something like a wastewater treatment plant that's gonna get funding over time from people paying their water bills or their sewer bills they need upfront money and they're not able to tax people to get that upfront money and so that's where the role of public-private partnerships come in and we have a number of sponsors and stakeholders that that represent the investment community across the spectrum from the largest of the large ones so think sovereign wealth funds pension funds down private equity funds venture capital funds impact investors philanthropy capital and many of them are interested in doing impact investing or sustainability investing and some are just interested in just you know making a good return and so we talked to them and we say look there's all these potential for public-private partnerships out there and they say well yeah these individual projects are they're too small maybe they're 20 50 million dollars but if we could get a portfolio of maybe ten of those together and you're talking 200 to 500 million dollars now it becomes very interesting and so we embarked on an initiative where we were bringing we're bringing together state and local government officials on the one side who have these projects that need financed and the and the and the providers of that financing and trying to figure out what the needs are and match those together and see if we can come up with a concept for things like term sheets that could be replicable from one municipality to another to then make these public-private partnerships really work and so we're just at the early stages of that we're going through we're talking to the investors and saying what do they need we're talking to the state and local government officials and trying to teach them the language that investors speak because they don't typically do that and we're gonna have a series of events we had planned on doing a big rollout at our May global conference which is our big event that we our flagship event that we do every year we have delayed that conference until July for obvious reasons and we're thinking about doing something virtually the first week in May that we're calling our you know resilient infrastructure week on that so to the extent that you know your your subscribers and listeners are interested in those public-private partnerships stay tuned on that okay well I'm gonna tell you right now I'm gonna receive a lot of emails with how do I get in contact with regards to this program so please do keep us updated so speaking of resilience though with your background you talked to us a little bit about how public companies right now should be handling the regulatory disclosures we're seeing a lot of confusion on that front and the public companies some are going under rocks I mean we're seeing some very interesting behavior do you have any advice because we do agree with you that we should keep the markets open any comments on that yes the the first comment is to the extent you have any questions either you the firm or your outside counsel should call the SEC the Securities Exchange Commission I know that you know the the I sort of laugh at myself when I say you know when I tell people you know the first thing you do is call your regulator right that's usually the last thing people want to do and I get that we saw after the finance you know so there's always been a balance between the regulator and the regulated entity whether it's a public company or or think a broker dealer or that sort of thing there's a balance between sort of confrontation and collaboration right on the one hand you want to collaborate with the industry because you get the you can find out what are emerging issues and work with them on the other hand you have some bad actors and there's some some confrontational issues what we saw was that pendulum really swung after the financial crisis there was you know it swung to the confrontation side right the joke was you know the beatings will continue until morale improves right and you saw all kinds of enforcement actions after the financial crisis that time has passed we have a new chairman in there Jay Clayton we have a new director of division of corporation finance Bill Hinman who are very much on the collaboration mode and to the extent anybody has any questions about any of their filings in terms of deadlines or in terms of getting relief call the SEC and work with them we saw if you look at the SEC's response and you can go to their website sec.gov and on there you can find they have a running list of all the different types of regulatory relief that they've given to regulated entities whether it's public companies whether it's mutual funds exchange traded funds broker dealers exchanges whatever it is they've got a running list on there early on the first people coming to the SEC even before the the COVID-19 hit our shores where people that had either supply chains in China or had various operations in China that needed to be audited and so they were worried about what happens if the if they're outside auditors can't go in and provide the audits and give it you know an unqualified opinion and so the SEC put out some guidance on that it was the division of corporation finance in conjunction with the the office of the chief accountant and then then people started coming to them while it's earning season well we need to put out our earning statement but we're you know we're really uncomfortable about providing earnings guidance but the market may view that as a negative signal if we don't provide earnings guidance going forward so can you give us some comfort and so those discussions have been happening and that's what I'm saying more of a collaboration mode that this that the SEC has had is having those discussions and working through those those those issues with issuers and so to the extent that anybody has any unique situations that haven't already been addressed contact the SEC call them email them they're there they want to work with people through this process as quick as possible and if you've seen the recent statements by Chairman Clayton individually on the website he put out a statement about the importance of keeping the markets going particularly for public companies and the statement he recently did yesterday I think it was at the financial stability oversight council meeting reiterating that it's something that they want to work with issuers as much as possible well I can't thank you enough Michael for joining us today and I had several other questions but I think what I'd really prefers in lieu of your role in the leading market-making firm in New York or the New York Stock Exchange if you have any advice out there for the public company CEOs we have quite an audience of public company CEOs here and investor intel that you can provide them during this time yeah so it's important to write so one of the things you know I make that mistake often is when we talk about the importance of markets you know liquidity prices we think of it from an investor's perspective but also from the from the public company's perspective right why do they go public because they want that access to the capital they need that to fund their operations right and then once they go public why do they choose a particular exchange NASDAQ or the NYC or the listing exchanges and then if you choose the New York Stock Exchange why do you choose a particular designated market maker and you mentioned I'm an advisor to GTS which is the largest designated market maker on the New York Stock Exchange and they are they've been fully prepared to move electronically for a long time they fully believe in the NYC's model which is a combination of electronic trading plus human intervention in particular time so for example when a company IPOs and they're building the book for the initial round of trading that can take you know anywhere from 20 minutes to two and a half hours I think was the record for Alibaba to get that book ready to go with the order book ready to go to begin trading and there's a lot of human intervention on that that now is taken into the electronic realm GTS and the other designated market makers are fully prepared to do that it may take longer to do things like that but they can continue to trade in this environment it's important to note that even before this environment both if you think of the whole trading ecosystem whether it's the New York Stock Exchange itself the designated market makers GTS and the like or the banks and the broker dealers who actually send the trades or even go further to the asset managers who send the trade to their brokers they all as regulated entities have had what are called business continuity plans in place and they always get updated when something new happens so think September 11th think Superstorm Sandy think things like you know a blackout in in in New York or or the you know the northern part of the United States and now they've been reviewing those in light of the sort of the public health systems that are going so far so good right the business continuity plans seem to be working and and the markets are generally working well I know GTS they're they're working through the issue a lot of trading is automated right now and you have human intervention but you know they're gonna they're just doing it from different locations and and you know maybe some of the more manual things are a little bit slower to get done but you know that's to be expected you know it's doing a lot you know like doing things like Skype interviews and those sorts of things right we can get it done it's not as great if as if we were there together in person but you know it works well thank you again for your time and it's been a real pleasure all right thank you very much this was great


Hey, y'all welcome to what Chelsea eats. Thank you so much for joining me today in this video I'm gonna give you my thoughts on CMOS as it relates to healing Fibroids and other reproductive issues. I know I'm a little late to the game giving you my thoughts and opinions on CMOS So I'm spilling the tea now I've been using CMOS for a little over two years now And I do have some thoughts and opinions that might be helpful for you in this video I'm gonna share with you what I like about this company called herbal vineyards CMOS They sent me the golden CMOS and the purple CMOS to try Their link is down in the description box if you would like to learn more about the company and the brand I Am also gonna share with you a fibrid healing recipe and my favorite way to consume CMOS as often as I possibly can Which in my opinion is a great thing to add on a daily basis. If you're new here, welcome I'm so glad you're here My name is Chelsea Knudsen I'm a certified holistic health coach and the creator of the 90-day walk to fibrid freedom group coaching program Where I help women shrink fibrids naturally using food as medicine There is a link down in the description box if you would like more information So the reason that I wanted to talk about CMOS in general is because people ask me about it Does it help shrink fibrids? Would you take it? Do you take it? How do you take it? What brand do you take? Like those types of questions come at me on a regular basis And so I wanted to come in this video and just answer some of those questions There are lots of benefits to CMOS, which I'm gonna touch on briefly here in this video But there is one main reason I think someone with fibrids should include CMOS in their diet I'm also going to share some reasons why I think you should consider this brand that I'll be talking about in this video But before we talk about that, I just want to say a little bit about why people get fibrid Reproductive issues why they have infertility issues why people get sick in general and there's two reasons one is deficiency and the other is toxicity and You might say, what are you talking about Chelsea?  It's you know, it like instability in your body it is it is a breeding ground for sickness toxicity and deficiency so What happens when we're toxic? Especially women they start bleeding when their menstrual cycles think so they'll say I'm Get messages people will say oh my goodness Chelsea. I got this heavy bleeding I can't stop myself heavy bleeding Can you tell me something to do and they always want me to give them some pill to take or some herb to take That'll make it go away just like that or tell them to eat something that'll make it go away just like that And it doesn't work that way the way we stop bleeding is we have to take some steps But some consistent steps every day to clear the body of the reason it's bleeding ever every month like you're you're bleeding a lot every month and Part of that is the deficiency and the toxicity So we need to get rid of those two problems so we can stop bleeding So if you want to know what you're supposed to what a period is supposed to look like I'm gonna link a video up in the card So you can go take a look at it and I'll put the video down in the description box about what you're supposed to Which is supposed to bleed like we women are women come to me all the time They said oh I bleed normally my my cycle is normal comes every 28 days and it lasts for about five days And I have a heavy day on the first day and the other days it's light and when I really dig deep into what they're telling me It turns out that they're bleeding way more than they need to and you what if you watch that video What what does a normal period look like you'll understand what a normal period is supposed to look like and you'll You'll get rid of the myth that maybe you are aren't you that maybe that you're not bleeding that much When you actually when actuality you are and if you're bleeding all the time You have Deficiency and toxicity so I'm gonna move on also the other Question it comes up is what to eat. What can I eat to stop the bleeding? What can I eat to shrink the fibres? What can I eat to revert this the reverse this problem? And if you have that question in your head, there'll be a video up in the cards That can share what you can that will share with you what you shouldn't eat and what you should eat to help you Correct this problem Seamos is not some miracle like you go and you take Seamos and all your problems go away But what it will do is if you put the things in place That help you to get well, which is To stop living the toxic lifestyle with what you eat what you drink what you think what you what you put on your bodies And then you add Seamos to that to your lifestyle Then that's when stuff will start to shift Does that make sense? Okay, so how does Seamos correct this problem? Well, I'll go into some of the benefits of Seamos and this will help you to understand What what role Seamos will play so you notice I said toxicity and Deficiency right so we get rid of the toxicity by taking the stuff out of our lives that is Causing the toxicity But we also have to do something called flood our bodies with nutrients and one thing the Seamos has that You really can't find in very many other it mother other plants. There's a few But Seamos has 92 of the a hundred and the hundred and ten minerals that our bodies needs It has beta carotene vitamin B vitamin C as sulfur it has minerals that our bodies lose through that bleeding And through us not absorbing the nutrients in our foods because our bodies are so toxic and plus We're not eating foods that are nutrient-rich. It also has magnesium manganese calcium Phosphorus and zinc so many people are deficient in these things and that's why just adding your daily dose of Seamos to your to your smoothie or to your glass of water or whatever it is However, you drink it is going to help you to reverse the toxicity and the deficiency especially It nourishes your skin it promotes healthy digestion like so if you have that digestive issues It's gonna help with that. It's gonna strengthen your immune system. Lots of people are concerned about immunity It's anti-aging because it helps with your skin helps with keeping your organs young It's an anti-inflammatory anti-bacterial anti-viral and some of you might be like well What's what's that got to do with fibroids? Well the condition in your body That creates fibroids. There's lots of bacteria yeast mold fungus all kinds of Pathogens that create the problem with the reproductive system So if you're putting you're taking all the toxicity from the food and drink and things what you're putting on your body Out of the mix and then you're adding something that is an anti-age or anti-inflammatory anti-bacterial anti Viral anti this anti that then you're kind of fighting back of With the toxicity that you're fighting the toxicity that's in your body and you're pushing it out with something good It also helps fight colds and flu-like symptoms. It improves emotional health like One of the big problems with women with reproductive issues is emotional health issues stress anxiety also supports the fibroid function and Lots of people will go to the doctors and get their blood drawn and their thyroid number comes out normal doesn't mean that number means nothing I mean it means something but doesn't mean that your thyroid is functioning at optimal level. So adding Some CMOS will help support your thyroid gland to nurture it and make it nice and healthy and You know Give it good feelings all that good stuff I'm just trying to prove a point. It needs some support and CMOS will help it do it help to do that If you're trying to manage your appetite or your weight CMOS Helps that it helps support a healthy heart. The list goes on and on Those are just a few of the benefits that I can name for using CMOS But I like herbal vineyards CMOS gel Because I'm busy. I don't always have time to make the CMOS Now although they sell the traditional package of CMOS you can prepare yourself Most of the time I would like to but sometimes I'm just busy and You could go straight to their website right now with the link down in the description box and buy already made CMOS gel that is perfect The consistency is perfect They their recipe the how they the kid like how they create their gels not too thick It's not too thin. It's perfect and it's already ready They ship it right to you all you have to do is take it and put it in your refrigerator When you're ready to use it crack open the seal and then just put your daily dose in Into your smoothie or into your water and drink it and that's all there is to it Or you can buy the bag and prepare it however you prepare your CMOS They have instructions on their website as to how to prepare their CMOS But whatever you do just get it in you. I like the gel because it's easy to use and I also love the fact that they offer in the gel form both the golden and The purple the purple is very high in antioxidants Which fights free radicals which we need that because that's like killing all the stuff that causes disease And they have the gold which is high in phytonutrients Which helps with cellular communication. So what more could you ask for it's already done for you? So that's why I like the gel and like I said, you don't have to buy the gel already done You can buy the actual CMOS. So let me stop talking Because I'll keep talking About this because it's my favorite kind of subject Something to help you heal So we're going to go into the kitchen and make this vibrate healing smoothie And I will also show you my favorite way to consume CMOS Okay, so here are the ingredients for the smoothie. I've got one cup of frozen cherries I've got one cup of frozen mango One frozen banana I have two handfuls of baby spinach. You can use whatever leafy greens you have on hand Two tablespoons of hemp seeds You can use whatever Fibroid friendly seed you have on hand. I love hemp seeds because they make the smoothie creamy I have one teaspoon of vanilla flavoring. You can use vanilla bean powder Pure vanilla bean powder if you would like or you can leave this out Just don't use vanilla extract because it contains alcohol and that's not good for a fibroid healing I am using a tablespoon each of the golden And the purple CMOS gel for this recipe. You could use more or less You don't want to overdo it on CMOS But some people put up to four tablespoons in a serving and if you are deficient I can't see why that's a problem, but use your own judgment Now for the water for this recipe. I have two cups here and I did add the two cups, but it was too much So if I were to do this recipe over again, I would use one cup of water for a more creamy consistency But if you like yours a little bit more runny, then add more water So now all I'm doing is adding all the ingredients to the blender my leafy greens My frozen cherries and you can use regular cherries if you would like to But you'll have to make sure you take the seeds out. I'm adding the mango And then I'm going to add the banana and you can use fresh bananas if you want to as well You can even use fresh mango And then we're going to add our hemp seeds and if you don't want hemp seeds You can also use chia seeds Just use them in small quantities no more than one to two tablespoons and for a serving Now we're going to add the vanilla flavoring. I love vanilla flavoring Drop the bowl in the blender. That's okay. It's all clean. It's going down the same place, too But I also like to use the vanilla powder Vanilla bean powder. Um, it has a more pungent taste and it's fresher And it's um, I think probably the better way to have vanilla I'm adding water you could use almond milk or hemp seed milk I'll put a link down in the description and up above in the cards for My recipe for almond milk and hemp seed milk And next is the star of the show for this video and that is the sea moss gel. I'm going to go ahead and add that So I used my high speed blender to blend this smoothie until it was smooth This was not a very sweet smoothie. It was kind of savory So if you like more sweet smoothies, you could add a little bit of raw honey to it or some medjool dates To make it a little bit smooth sweeter, but it was a delicious smoothie and I could feel it working in my body as I was drinking it So I don't typically put sea moss gel into my smoothies I usually drink my sea moss in a glass of water with a little bit of lime or lemon And the reason I like it that way is because first of all, I like the taste better I like the texture better And I think the vitamin c in the lemon or the lime helps the minerals to dissolve or Absorb into your system a lot better than if you didn't have it So what I'm doing here is taking a spoon or two of sea moss and adding it to my glass I'm going to take my citrus juicer and put my lime inside And squeeze the juice of the lime into the glass and unfortunately these limes that I had were not very Juicy, so if you see I'm squeezing that thing So hard trying to get that little bit of juice out Unfortunately that was the case, but it's not always the case. So I just squeeze my lime into the glass And then I just add my water, which is probably about 12 ounces of water And then I start this vigorously with my fork for a couple seconds and then add my straw and drink up So this is how I prefer my sea moss And I just drink it down really fast and that way I can just get it in sometimes I even do it with less water than this So it really depends on your preference, but if you enjoy putting them in your smoothies go right ahead The problem for me is is I don't drink a smoothie every day And I just want to be able to get the get the sea moss into my body You can even take a spoon and just put you know Take the spoon and take it into your mouth and drink and eat it that way I don't do that But I've seen people do it Okay, so what do you think of the recipe? Will you make it? Please comment below your thoughts Also, if you would like to purchase this sea moss, there is a link down in the description box That will take you right to the herbal vineyards website to purchase whatever sea moss product you would like So I have missed you all. Thank you so much for watching this video And I want to just say that if no one told you that they love you today Chelsea in North Carolina loves you very much and I will talk to you all soon. Take care

I'm barely stuck. I still bear it. Not much has changed yet. Right, true, true. I just don't have to manually pull items from stock. Chief's gone in Mosaic. PYT, thank you, Justin. Yeah, these are clean, dude. The hoop streams look really good this year. I like that. 5 of 10. That's nice. That one's nice. We've got a Deontay Murray for the Hawks, Pink James Wiseman for the Pistons to 75, and then a Red Fred Van Vleet for the Raptors. What's up, Chris? FVX2. Yeah, sure. Yeah. Redemption is Jason Tatum, 1985 Tribute autographs. There you go. Going to Boston. On the throwback. These are clean. Chris Pringles it. Yeah, I know. This is the mock-up of them right here. I haven't seen a live one, but the mock-ups look good. They have the AI on the website. That's what the 85 Tribute looks like right there. That's the AI. So nice one there. Congrats, Cease. I hope they're all on card. Hopefully, I'm assuming. Well. But who knows, honestly. Some will be. Some might not sign. That could be stick or you can't tell. He really can't tell, honestly. It's very true. They were last year. They were on card last year. I remember. I remember. Believe they were last year. Were they last? Yes. Jalen Dern, Red Ice, and Jalen Williams, Uniformity.  And now it's just the whole card. Yeah, you're right on that. I like the one with the back end.  Because it looked cool. Yeah, the die cuts were pretty sweet, honestly. Chris Stopps, Blue Kauai. Nice one there, too, at 99 for the Clippers. And then a red of Trey Murphy. Season ticket for the Pels. It used to do a die cut, like a canvass-y version. I remember those I loved. That were signed? Oh my god. Those were some of the. What were those in? Like threads? Donner's threads. Yeah, Donner's threads. Because I remember those in like 12, 13, 14 around there. Yeah, the last year he did that was probably it was probably like 14, 15, 15, 16, maybe? That sounds right. Because there are some good names in that checklist, too. Because Clay had a rookie off. I remember that card specifically. Because he would have been in that year of the 2012s when they had 11 and 12 in the year after the lockout. To 99, Benedict Matherin. Nice one there on the variation. Congrats, Pacers. Dude, Indiana is like, to every case we've done, there's been like three Pacers on it. Yup, because they've got, I mean they've got Nemhard as well, too, so they've got a couple and then they've got a handful of vets. They are a loaded team. They are loaded, for sure. Congrats, Indiana there. You think so? Yeah, I think so. First one of the season coming out. True, he's got high, high expectations this year, I believe, as well. Dreams is Jalen Williams, J-Dubb on the River Fractor, and then a uniformity of Attiree's Haliburton. Here's Haliburton. First season's going to be a second year. Yeah, true, very true. KD, there's a Red Trey Young and a Silver of Josh Giddy. Nice one here, going to the Wizards. Johnny Davis, base rookie ticket off. He's got the alternate jersey on there, the throwback from the 2000s, which is such a great jersey. The Agent Zero and rookie John Wall jerseys. I love those. I own it. The Silver Jordan. Yep, I own a rookie John Wall jersey like that. But I can't wear it, it's too small. We've got a uniformity of Steph Curry. Yeah, there you go, Kai. Nice one there, buddy. Legendary Tandems, T-Mac and Yao Ming, that's awesome. That was awesome. That would be awesome. Yeah, oh yeah, definitely. That's a purple, interesting. That's Tyler Hero. We've got Gary Trent Jr. to 99. And then a purple Steph Curry to 15, one of 15. Congrats, Warriors. Five days of the week, I'd say. We get cases of stuff, like when it's a release day, we'll usually get stuff a couple of days beforehand. So like the Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday are always busy. And then Saturday, Sunday, usually not. But if we re-up on something, if we re-up on a product that's already come out, then it could be any day of the week, basically. But yeah, most five days a week, I'd say. This is dope. Jeff Warnichek going to the Suns 275, legendary contender. So yes, that is part of the card, which is good. So we're good to go there. 30 is 75. We pulled a parish in the first case and I was wondering about the dot look there, but yes, that is part of the card, which is good. So confirmed, we are good. No damage. Yeah, that curry was nice for sure, that purple curry. All right, on to the next one. See what we've got. There's gonna be a play in the numbers game of Joel and Bede Red Ice for the Sixers and then Optic Illusions, Benedict Mather in 275 for the Pacers, congrats, Indiana. Again, just three remain in the next break, everybody. We've got a Lucadonche. We've got a Blue Jamal Murray, too, 99. And then a Red, DeMar DeRosin. Color match for the Bulls. And going to the Cavaliers, Isaiah Mobley. Rookie auto, congrats on that one. Did they really find two blocks killer? I remember just reading something about that, that like the case was like recently that there was like more like traction on the case or whatever it was. Listen, nobody knows what happened. The only person that knows, God, show me. Yeah. That is a play in the numbers game of Chris Paul. Nice one there. Blue Ice, Shade on Sharp to 75. Book N, 75 up to 75 for the Blazers. That is gonna be a DeMar DeRosin, that is an Orange, Kevin Herter. Nice one there, 249. And Oshaid Baji on the Black Pandora. Nice one there, congrats, Utah. Just got the Jazz in this one. Joey Y, congrats, Joey. Nice one there, these are not numbered but they are super short printed like they were last year. So nice, grabbing a rookie in that. You can toss that in the recap too. That is gonna be Zyre Williams, sophomore contenders, second year, 275 for the Grizz. There we go, Memphis. Yeah, Black Pandoras are sweet in this, man. I kind of like how they're not numbered too. I think that that's a good, good little addition they made. Sweet Shots, Nikolay Jokic for the Nuggets, Brad's Denver. That is gonna be Damian Lillard on the Superstar for the Blazers. Could be weird seeing him as a buck in products this year. It's gonna be very odd. Gonna take some getting used to for sure. I got a Redemption coming up. That is a base of James Wiseman, Shay Gilders Alexander and Damian Lillard on the Black Pandora. Back to back with Black Pandoras. So yeah, they're not, they're technically just super short printed. They're not case hits or anything. Yeah, no problem, Joe, you got it, buddy. Thank you, man. Very nice one there. And Redemption, Chet Holmgren, rookie variation season ticket, Green. Believe that's gonna be to 25 on the auto, which would be huge, man. And one of you guys, I think they just pulled Chet from one of the other. Did they really? Yeah, remember one. Yes, Green to, no, Green will be to 75, excuse me, 75. Still nice, still nice. The base, the base pulsars are the one to 25. So very nice, congrats on that there.  We've got a first class ticket, Tarry Eason. Again, that is not numbered, it's just ice parallel. Oshae, lottery ticket, that is a James Wiseman. Orange Chet now to 49 on the rookie. Congrats on that. And Red, Christian Wood. Very well could be rookie of the year, Chet, for sure. Patrick Baldwin, Jr., on the rookie auto. Do you want to pick Wemby? Where everybody thinks? Yeah, I still think Wemby will probably win it. I think it's gonna take, I think they're, I think the NBA is gonna do everything they possibly physically can to make sure Victor Wemmian is there to get here. I think it would take him missing 40 games for him not to win rookie of the year. Hardly, hardly. You know what I mean? I think they want Wemby to be the rookie of the year more than they need air to breathe. Because that's a big dump for how much money in terms of. Right, exactly. That is a play in the numbers game of Dane and Blue Ice, Jaren Jackson, Jr. play in the numbers game to 49, got eight blocks. Geez, Lord. Ooh, nice. Boyan McDonovich, Shay Gildes Alexander and a blue Fred Van Vleet to 99. Nice one here. This is gonna be 275, big game James. James Worthy going to Lakers. That is awesome. I love James Worthy. One of the most underrated superstars of all time, in my opinion, UNC legend as well. Great college ball player. Again, guys, we've got three to go. Nets, Pelicans and Nicks. Yeah, that's what I'm saying, Justin. That's why the Lakers are really cool in this, man. They got some really awesome vets. Uniformity Kyrie is a Maverick and Hoop Dreams, Jayden and Ivy to 75 on the Blue Ice. Congrats, Pistons. And another fire on them. LeBron James, Silver, Fred Van Vleet and a Pink Terry Rosier to 75. Really cool one here. Going to the Nuggets to 125. David Thompson, all-time contenders with that throwback Nuggets logo with the little guy with the pickaxe and the basketball. I love that. Again, to 125. David Thompson, congrats on that Denver. H Wang with the Nix and four. Thank you, buddy. Down to two. Two to go, everybody. Two to go. Do a quick recap here. Start with your color. We had Black Pandora's of Dame and Oshai Bajie to 75. Jayden Hardy, no, that's a 99, just kidding. Fred Van Vleet, Jared Jackson Jr., Shade On Sharp, Jamal Murray, Benedict Matheran. Gary Trent Jr., Kawhi Leonard to 49. Oranges, Chet, Kevin Herter to 75. Terry Rozier, and James Weisman. Purple to 15 of Steph Curry in a Gold Hoop Dreams, Marjanovo, champ to 10. We had Autos of Patrick Baldwin Jr., Isaiah Mobley, Johnny Davis, David Thompson, Benedict Matheran, Zair Williams, James Worthy, Jeff Hornacheck, Chet Holmgren, that's going to be to 75 for the Thunder, and Jason Tatum, 85 tribute autograph for the Celtics. About to do it for the break, guys. Thanks again for the fill. Up next, number four. Two to go.

Ranger Bill, warrior of the woodland, struggling against extreme odds, traveling dangerous trails, fighting the many enemies of nature. This is the job of the guardian of the forest, Ranger Bill, pouring rain, freezing cold, blistering heat, snow, floods, bears, rattlesnakes, mountain lions. Yes, all this in exchange for the satisfaction and pride of a job well done. You know, boys and girls, when the Lord decides to show men what real power is, he doesn't mince words. And when the Lord allows nature to cut loose, there aren't many structures that are left standing. Perhaps he wants to show us who's the boss of the universe after all, even with our atomic and hydrogen bombs. Well, it's about time to get into our story. This is the experience Bill and his Rangers had with nature's most powerful and potent weapon. It's the story Nature's Vacuum Cleaner.  The air is muggy as the warm front battles against a cold front, trying to push it out of the way. A terrific turbulence takes place in the atmosphere. Conditions are perfect for a tornado to let loose and give the earth a vicious pasting. The Weather Bureau puts out a severe storm warning. The men at the Weather Bureau watch the sky with apprehension. All the ingredients are at hand to bake a cake, a tornado cake. This is it. A rope-like funnel drops from the ink black clouds and meets the ground. The tornado funnel uploots great trees and powders giant rocks. It gouges the earth like an enormous chisel and tears out the forest in its path like a child pulling seedlings from the garden. This is the phenomenal power of nature. A rope-like funnel charges each man's heart with fear. Fear for family, fear for home and fear for self. This is Nature's Vacuum Cleaner. I've still got the tornado on the radar screen, Mike. Has it changed course? Nope. It's plowing right across Big Mason. I hope it keeps on going and up into the mountains. Man alive, I hope it doesn't change course. You'd better do more than hope. You'd better pray. Calling Canyon City? Yeah, we'd better warn them. You'll lose it as soon as the mountains get in the way. We've been fortunate to be able to follow it this far. Oh, I've lost it. The funnel's heading over the mountains toward Canyon City. Hello, Sid? Yeah, listen. We've been following a funnel over the mountains toward Canyon City. That's you, mister. I'm sorry, but that's all I can tell you. Yeah, I'd say you've got about an hour. If it doesn't pull back up again, okay, Sid will be praying that it breaks up before it climbs over the mountains. Bye. Last year the same thing.  Don't talk so loud. Maybe thunderheads have ears. I know what you mean. I wish some of the knuckleheads in this area that do have ears would listen to our plea for an observer system. Yes, Sid, why? But they've got ten ears, most of them. I hope that vacuum cleaner doesn't double back on us. Thunderheads coming in. Yes, sir. They're whoppers, all right. They're bulging at the seams with water. If they drop load, we need boat. They're dropping it now. You can tell with the cloud formations. I hear a tear. There was a tornado on the Big Mesa again. Who's pulling your legs, Tuffy? Nobody, because it won't stretch no more. The old-timers right, fellas. Mel and Mike picked the twister up on radar and followed it right to the mountains. Not long way from Naughty Pine and a flat country. Yep. We never have. We never will. I hate to say this, pal, but those could be famous last words. Bill, come on. You know there's never been a tornado hit this town or even near it.  It's in high, flat country. Henry Wright. Even my father, a black wolf, say mad wind never hit down there. We've got all the fictions for a winged dinger. But for some strange reason they don't like this spot. I'm happy to say. Hey, phone's ringing. I'll get it. Never mind, pal. I'll get it. It's probably for me, anyhow. Hey, you know, I think Bill's getting jumpy again, just like he did last year. Ah, I remember how he and weathermen try to start tornado observer system. Nobody interested because tornado never strike here. Yep. And I'm a mind-fraid that Bill's barking up the wrong tree. And so are the weather boys, for that matter. Right. Say, look at the lightning from those thunderheads. Boy, I sure like to watch a storm come in. Just think of the tremendous power that the Lord's got packed into one of those big clouds. Man alive! I'd make us look like helpless ants. Was it called anything important, Bill? Yeah, that was Mike. They set up a severe storm warning. Let's get moving, fellas. You mean you want us to get laughed at like last year? Remember one thing. Someday, perhaps the tornado will strike Naughty Palm. If it does, this town will be nothing more than a junk pile after it's over. Let's not be guilty of failing to spread the alarm if that ever happens. Okay. I'll cover the hospital in that part of town. I get Sheriff and his men busy and cover downtown main building. I'll cover the radio station in that part of town.  We don't care what that announcer says or does. Get going now. I'll alert the fire towers. Larry, there's a severe storm warning out. Keep your eyes open for a funnel. No waste of time, but orders are orders. Again this year, Bill. Yes, and it'll be every year from now on, so you might as well get used to it. Keep me informed, Tom, if you see anything. I will keep a sharp lookout just the same. Doc Sims, there's a severe storm warning out. What? Aren't we going to get tornado nerves like we did last year? I guess so, Doc. I'd rather be ready than wish I had been. I'll have the patients move to protected areas right away. You better have people in the bank.  Oh, no, not again this year, Gray. Well, this is like fire drill in school. Fire drills save plenty lives in case of fire. Bart, there's a severe storm warning out, and it's your duty to spread the alarm the best you can.  Just listen to me on the air if you don't believe me. Again this year by a repeat performance of last year's false tornado alarms. Why is it the Rangers insist that everybody almost break their necks running for protection from the twisters that never come? Is it that our guardians of the forest can't stand peace and quiet? They like folks worked up and almost hysterical with fear? All this monkey business is a ridiculous waste of time, especially in the light of historical facts. Naughty pine has never been hit by a tornado. What you do the next time a false alarm is sounded is your business. I'm tired. Boy, sure runs his windmill with hot air, alright? Every time a brain cell tries to work, his mouth falls open, a lot of silly noises come out. Stumpy. Yeah, Bart sure has the knack for getting under your skin like a sliver. Well, don't let him needle you pal. We've done our work before in the face of ridicule. Um, Bible say, he that control tongue is better than he who conquers city. Yep.  Sure. But some folks will take his gas into heart. Maybe they'll live to regret it. You fellas were giving me the ribbing of my life a while ago about this tornado business. Sure we were. But that was only between us. I'm concerned if the weather boys put out the warning and I'm in favor of heating it. If the warning is a false alarm, then I'm grateful and thank the Lord. That's right, old timer. Bart has nothing to lose if a tornado strikes. Doesn't have a family here and no property. Of course, he should be thinking about the safety of other people, but he's not concerned. I'd forget about it if I were you fellas. It sure is nice out this morning. Humid feelings out of the air. Yeah. It sure is a nice day. Hey, Bill. Uh-oh, it win bag. Hello, Bart. Hello, Bill, fellas. Say, there's a black cloud up there. Aren't you gonna sound another false alarm? Oh, excuse me, that's smoke from a factory chimney. Bart, you need glasses. When a fella can't tell the difference between a thunder head and chimney smoke, he should see an eye doctor. Oh, yeah. Well, I'll see you later sometime. Bill, you were terrific on the draw. Bart got just what he deserved. Well, say, did. That's one time the snake turned and bit its master. Well, I'm afraid we'll have more tornado fixings in here about tomorrow noon. Yes, you're right. Warm and humid and two fronts clashing. Large thunder heads up to 30,000 and 40,000 feet, which will give us good updrafts and downdrafts. And that's all the makings of some more twisters.  After all, they've never had a tornado. I wonder if they've really come over the mountain and down the valley. But who are we to make those decisions? We don't control the weather and atmospheric conditions. We only forecast it to the best of our ability. And it's our job to set up the warnings as we see them. But you know as well as I do, that we've watched dark black thunder heads pass over the shady river valley time and time again when conditions were prime for funnels. Nothing's ever happened. Well, we won't have to worry about it until tomorrow morning if the forecast holds up. It's early Saturday morning and the ranchers and farmers are just beginning to stir and think about doing a day's work. Mel and Mike don't plan to set up severe storm warnings until noon. But this time they're going to get fooled right beyond the shady mountains. A giant of all giant thunder heads slowly moves toward the shady river valley and naughty pine. The sleepy valley and town aren't aware that there's a great danger approaching. The mornings warm and humid and everyone's thinking of the beauty of spring when suddenly part of the black giant drops down to the ground and a funnel is formed with winds revolving inside from 600 miles per hour. History's been made and naughty pine. A tornado did form in the valley and strike. The citizens are no longer sleepy. They're wide awake and shake with fear.  Bill and his rangers race across town. It seems to be the high school in that area. Folks are too excited to give accurate reports but we'll know in a few minutes. Boy, I got duck bumps running all over me. Do you think it really happened after so many years of not happening? It's a pretty sobering thought, sonny. This whole town could be flattened in a suree like a pancake. Ah, and many people killed. Here we are.  What a mess. Yeah. Thank the lord it's Saturday and there's no school. Only damage done to school and then the funnel lifted. Yes, can be very thankful that the funnel only touched the ground for an instant and then drew back up again. Hello, chief. Howdy, chief. Hi. How's it look inside the building? Same as outside, Bill. It's a mess. The whole north corner's been sheared off and pulverized. Yeah, the steel girders are twisted like pretzels. A bill that towns people are very much interested in starting a tornado observer system. Fine, chief. Well, when do they want to start? Well, I suggested we have them eating tonight at the city hall. Set it up. Good people in this town agreed to come. Oh, that's excellent. We'll be at the meeting tonight and I'll ask Mel and Mike to be there too. Okay, I'll pass the word. We'll see you this evening. Okay. Oh, it's a downright shame that folks have to learn the hard way. Yes, sir. Really, I can't tell them a thing. They've always got to learn for themselves. Yes, Stumpy. This would have been a bitter lesson if this had happened during the school weeks. Attention, please. Thank you. Thank you very much. Chief, where's the crowd? Sort of cooled off since this morning, Bill. Just a figure of light that won't strike twice in the same place. How much work is there going to be involved in this tornado observer system? Yeah, I don't think we should even discuss this plan of more people aren't interested to share the burden of it. I suggest we adjourn this meeting until we can get more people to attend. I agree. Looks like it's going to take more time than it's worth. Just a minute. The twister that struck this morning was a surprise attack. Even the Weather Bureau boys didn't catch it on their instruments. Now, if they had and could have sounded an alarm, an observer system would have saved many lives if the funnel had remained on the ground rather than skipped like it did. Let's go home. This is the first time a twister has hit this town in over a century. Come, white man, at Indian time. It'll be another hundred years before we get another. Let's go.  What do you think this is? I've seen a lot of knuckleheads in my day, but never so many crowded into one town. And Bart Snead is the biggest. I told you he was talking with influences, people. And their logic not good. Lightning does strike same place twice and sometimes more than twice. Well, I've seen and heard everything now. We've tried tornado every time there was the possibility of one. Finally, the killer wind came. Even then, these people still won't listen to sound advice. And for one reason, perhaps two reasons. You mean you think there's a reason for their action? Yes. The first reason is that they're too lazy. The other is that some of them don't care. Say, Bart Snead's going to be on the air in half an hour. I'd sure like to hear what he has to say. Citizens of Naughty Pine. Well, it looks like the weather boys and the Rangers almost want the tornado funnel chewed away half the north end of the high school. But I still say there's nothing to get excited about. Why, this is the first time in over a century that this has happened and the chances of it occurring again are pretty slim. This man talks like a gambler. He's telling lies. I say, let the Rangers and weather boys do it. That's what they're paid to do. In just a moment, I'll have a roundup of world and local news for you. You know, fellas? I think you're softening up. I'm inclined to agree with you, Mike. Yes, he seems to be lacking the usual caustic stingy he's capable of delivering. Well, I don't know, gentlemen. It sounded to me like his supply of wind was just about as good as ever. Yeah, but he didn't sound like the old ripper up the back that he can be. I'd say Mike is right. But why is Bart changing his mind? All he has to do is look at high school building and think of lives lost if that happened during school day and not take Edge off sharp tongue. I don't know. I've listened to his to Edge's tongue for a long time. He's not the kind of man to back off even if he knows he's whipped. He doesn't have enough sense to come in out of the rain. Don't give up yet. We're still not through fighting for the observer system. Hello, Sam. How's the captain of the state police these days? Okay, fellas, how are you? Well, we're pretty busy dodging tornadoes and trying to get ordinary people to think straight. You joking or is this serious? It's serious. Stumpy's just about sized up the whole problem. Now pull up a chair and relax. Okay, thanks. Where do I come in now, or do I? We'd like to have you help us dodge twisters. Of course you might get twisted up yourself, but then you'll be doing us a favor. Sam, I'd like you and your men to cooperate with us in the tornado observers system. Well, I'd be glad to. You're still having problems with the citizenry of this area to cooperate? Problems ain't the word for it. That windbag Bart Snead keeps leading them down the wrong trail. Might be the death trail unless we do something about it. Well, that's strange. What do you think he's acting this way? Because he hasn't anything to lose. What's wrong there? I don't quite follow you, Sam. Bart hasn't any property or family here. He hasn't any family here yet, but he's got property. Huh? Since when? Didn't you know he bought the old Coswell place? Well, no. That's right in the middle of Shady Valley at the edge of town. That's right. When did he buy the Coswell place? The deal was closed two days ago. He's bringing his family from Junction City next week. It took him three years to make up mine. That long time to find a place to buy. So Bart's got a big stake in this tornado business. He's right in the direct line of fire if a funnel comes roaring down the valley. I guess you fellas were right. He did soften up on his last newscast. And this is the reason why. Yeah. Well, let's get back to setting up our own observer system. Bill, whenever the alarm is sounded by Mike and Mel, I'll have my boys go to a network of high points and watch the Thunderheads. They spot one, they'll keep us informed by radio. Okay, that sounds fine, Sam. Perhaps we can do a good enough job to keep a tragedy from taking place. I don't think Bill, his rangers and the state police are going to have to wait very long to find out if their system's going to work or fail. The barometer's dropping at the weather bureau, and Mike and Mel anxiously watch their instruments and check their readings and forecasts. Let's drop in on them as they try to outwit the weather and predict its actions right to the nth degree. How's the coffee holding out, Mel? Fine. Want some? Yeah, please. Here, hold your cup so I don't drip this stuff all over the maps and charts. Right. Say when? Now. You know, I don't like the nosedive the barometer's taking. Don't like it at all. That's going right through the bottom at this rate. I'd say we're going to have plenty of action about nine in the morning. Let's recheck our work and then sound the alarm. I sure feel better now that the rangers and the state troopers have set up an observer system. I'm afraid that this might be T-hour if the storm comes down the valley. That's right where it's heading, or I'll eat my shirt. Buttons and starched collar included. The warning is out. Not severe storms this time, but a tornado alarm's been given. Mike and Mel haven't the slightest doubt. A funnel will drop, and it looks like it might be the shady river valley that's getting a-pasting. The hub of the observer system is Ranger Headquarters. Right now, Bill is the busiest man in the world. T-hour five reports a tremendous thunder head blacking the inside of a closet heading right over the valley. Tell him to keep us informed. Hey, Ray Wolf, check the schools and hospitals on the double. Tell them to evacuate immediately if they haven't already done so. Right away, Mike. Yes? Yes? Yes, all right, Mike. Good-bye. Ray Wolf, Stumpy. What you want, Bill? That was Mike. He says that thunder head's loaded to kill. Hurry. T-hour five says there's a big sag in the bottom of the thunder head. Keep talking to him, pal. Bill, to all towers, come in. Tower one in, over. Keep a close watch, Tom. There may be more than one funnel for him. Tower five's watching the valley. Watch other sectors. Over and out. Tower two in, over. Larry, watch for a funnel on the big mesa. If it forms, be sure to keep an eye on its course. Over and out. Tower three in and over. Fritz, watch Cougar Canyon and Razorback Ridge Country. Let me know the minute you see anything. Tower four in and standing by. Amos, don't close even one eye for a second. We could be in real trouble at any minute. Bill, tower five, there's a tornado heading right down the valley. How much time do we have? Not more than 20 minutes. Henry, sound the disaster alarm. Jim, keep your eye on that thing. I'll keep in touch as often as I can. Henry, stand by the radio after you've sounded the alarm. In minutes to spread the alarm. Let's make it 15 to be safe. You know your areas. Have everybody open windows and doors. Then tell them to get into basements or depressions in the ground. Now get going and fast. Has the twister changed its course, pal? Not yet. Jim says it's really chewing up the valley. Bill, are you there? Yes, go ahead. This is terrible to watch. The funnel's going right down the middle of the valley and cleaning out everything in a path about a block wide. Keep watching it. We'll stand by another 10 minutes. Then we're going underground. Hold on, Sam. Henry, cut off the set and close down the power. Hello, Sam. We're going underground right now. Get help on the way. I'll try to contact you as soon as it passes. Goodbye. Let's get out of here. Right. We'll hide in the hole. They've dug for the new house across the street. We'll hide there and pray. The destruction roar at 600 miles an hour into Naughty Pine. The lumber yard disappears into the giant vacuum cleaner. Wait a minute. The funnel is lifted. It's drawing back into the cloud. For good, I hope. No, no. Now it's down again, but not until it hit the river. Now the twister's running along the river bank and heading out of town. Seven warehouses and a number of small buildings have been obliterated. But praise the Lord, the terrible killers going out into open country. I wish to pay tribute to the Rangers and the weather boys. And I want to thank Almighty God for sparing us from terrible tragedy. Bill Jefferson, the tornado observer system. Yes, Bart, thank the Lord. The twister didn't play as a deadly trail right across Naughty Pine. You know, it's the old story with men like Bart and others. They have to learn the hard way and sometimes that can be disastrous. We'll see you next week for more adventure with Rangers!


This video will cover an introduction to histology, which is the study of tissue structure. We will cover the following objectives, describe the characteristics of the four primary tissue types, epithelial, connective, muscle, and nervous tissues, describe the structure, location, and function of the four membrane types, cutaneous, mucus, cirrus, and synovial, and describe the process of tissue healing after a wound. Here are the four major tissue types. Now remember the definition of tissue is a group of cells working together to perform a common function. The four major types of tissue are nervous tissue, epithelial tissue, muscle tissue, and connective tissue. Nervous tissue is found in the brain, spinal cord, and nerves. So this is the major tissue of the nervous system that's responsible for rapidly transporting information throughout the body in order to regulate our other organs. The nervous system is regulating the muscles and muscle tissue is specialized for contraction to produce motion. There are three subtypes of muscle tissue, cardiac muscle is found in the wall of the heart, smooth muscle is found lining hollow organs like the stomach, and skeletal muscle is the muscle that attaches to bones through tendons in order to move the skeleton. Epithelial tissue forms sheets of cells that are very tightly held together with cell junctions like desmosomes and tight junctions that hold adjacent cells tightly together. Epithelial tissues line body surfaces including the exterior, the outer layer of the skin, the most superficial layer of the skin is epithelial tissue known as the epidermis. It also forms the lining of the digestive tract and respiratory tract, and epithelial tissues form glands, for example the sweat glands, salivary glands, and also endocrine glands that produce hormones as signals through the body are made from epithelial tissue. So glands produce secretions, exocrine glands like sweat glands produce secretions that exit the body, and endocrine glands produce hormones that travel through the blood to regulate other organs throughout the body. Epithelial cells have an apical surface, so a sheet of epithelial cells has an apical surface that faces the exterior or the lumen which is a space inside the body, for example the space inside of the stomach is the lumen inside of the stomach. The apical surface of an epithelium faces the lumen or with our skin the epidermis of our skin the apical surface faces the exterior. The opposite surface of the epithelium is called the basolateral surface which is attached to extracellular fibers that anchor the epithelium to the body. Epithelial tissues are avascular with no blood vessels and so there are blood vessels running through connective tissue that's underlying epithelial tissues in order to provide nutrients and carry waste away from the cells of the epithelium, but there are no blood vessels that actually travel through the epithelium. Epithelial tissues also have a high capacity to regenerate, there are stem cells found within the epithelium that can divide in order to replenish cells that are lost. The last group of tissue is connective tissue which is sort of a catch-all for a lot of different very diverse types of tissues. Connective tissues are the most structurally and functionally diverse. There are three main categories of connective tissues. Connective tissue proper, supporting connective tissue and fluid connective tissue. We see examples here of adipose tissue or fat which is a type of connective tissue proper. Then we see bone which is a type of supporting connective tissue and a tendon is another type of connective tissue proper. It's a dense, regular connective tissue. Tendons are connective tissue which connect muscles to bones. Connective tissue also includes fluid connective tissues like blood. There are specialized cells in connective tissue that are dispersed in a non-living extracellular material. The most types of connective tissue, the connective tissue proper, include cells called fibrocytes that maintain extracellular fibers of a matrix. An extracellular matrix of fibrous proteins that are found in the connective tissue proper are maintained by cells called fibrocytes. In adipose tissue and as well as some other types of connective tissue proper, there are cells called adipose sites which are specialized for storage of fat. Erythrocytes are also known as red blood cells. These are specialized cells that transport oxygen in blood.  Leucocytes are found in blood but they also are found in other tissues so we can see certain types of leucocytes are residents inside of connective tissue proper. For example macrophages or basophils are cells that can wander in and out of connective tissue proper. They are also found in the fluid connective tissues like blood and lymph. Inside bone osteocytes are the mature cells that maintain the matrix of the bone. Another type of supporting connective tissue is called cartilage which is a more flexible but supportive connective tissue. The mature cells of cartilage are called chondrocytes that maintain the matrix of the cartilage. So the matrix of protein fibers surrounds cells in connective tissue and in most connective tissues there's fibrous proteins providing this matrix. In fluid connective tissue like blood the proteins are dissolved and they don't form a fibrous matrix except during blood clotting when proteins do form a fibrous matrix. The fibrous protein that is normally soluble dissolved in the plasma of blood becomes insoluble as it forms a network of fibers to prevent bleeding as a blood clot is formed. There's also a liquid surrounding the fibers and cells in connective tissue. This is called the ground substance. This extracellular liquid can vary in consistency. It could be a thin liquid like the plasma of blood or a more viscous liquid. In connective tissue proper there's a viscous liquid with the consistency of maple syrup. Or it could also be a more firm gel like extracellular material such as that found in cartilage or even a solid material as in bone. There's a calcium salt known as hydroxyapatite that gives the hardness to bone and fills the extracellular space surrounding the extracellular matrix of fibers in bone. Tissue membranes are continuous flat multicellular sheets that cover or line body parts. There are two major types, two broad categories of tissue membranes, connective tissue membranes that are composed of only connective tissue. The example shown here is a synovial membrane that lines the joint cavity and produces a synovial fluid in order to lubricate the joint. The other broad category of tissue membranes is epithelial membranes. Epithelial membranes include mucus membranes that line the digestive respiratory urinary and reproductive tracts and are coated with mucus, a secretion that comes from glands found within the epithelium that secrete mucus in order to lubricate, moisturize the surface. Serous membranes line our ventral body cavities. There are the peritoneal membrane lining the abdominal cavity, pleural membrane lining the lungs and pericardial membrane lining the heart. Serous membranes have two layers, a parietal layer and a visceral layer. The parietal layer lines the cavity wall and the visceral layer lines the organ. There is a serous fluid secreted in between those two layers. For example we have a parietal layer of the pleural membrane lining the thoracic cavity surrounding the lung, the surface of the lung is covered with the visceral layer of the pleural membrane and then there is fluid in between those two layers inside the pleural cavity. Similarly there is a visceral layer of the pericardium which covers the surface of the heart and a parietal layer of the pericardium which lines the walls of the pericardial cavity and there is a parietal layer of the peritoneum lining the walls of the abdominal cavity and a visceral layer of the peritoneum lining the surface of the intestines. The epithelium found in serous membranes is a simple squamous epithelium that means there is just one layer of flat cells. So a very thin layer of flat cells also known as a mesothelium is the specific name for the simple squamous epithelium found in a serous membrane and then there is some loose connective tissue proper in between the simple squamous epithelium supporting the simple squamous epithelium and anchoring it to the other surfaces of the body and this is an areolar connective tissue which is a loose connective tissue proper that provides some space for blood vessels to travel through. The cutaneous membrane is the skin and the cutaneous membrane has a stratified squamous epithelium that contains keratin. So stratified squamous epithelium has multiple layers that's why it's stratified and it's squamous meaning that the surface cells are flat. So stratified squamous epithelium has multiple layers of cells and the cells at the surface of the epithelium are flat. The cells facing the apical surface are flat or squamous. So stratified squamous epithelium is forming the epidermis that is the superficial layer of the cutaneous membrane and then underneath that there is connective tissue forming the dermis. As we study the integumentary system we'll see the types of connective tissue in the layers of the dermis. There's a papillary layer of areolar connective tissue and a reticular layer of dense irregular connective tissue found underneath the stratified squamous epithelium of the epidermis. The epidermis also contains keratin which is a protein that's produced as an intermediate filament inside of the epithelial cells and as the epithelial cells mature and move towards the surface they produce a large amount of keratin. Eventually those epithelial cells die and the remaining keratin provides strength to the cutaneous membrane to resist abrasion. As we study epithelia in more detail we'll see different types of epithelia that are found in mucus membranes that the mucus membrane in the intestines has a simple columnar epithelium that is just one layer of tall cells whereas there's a stratified squamous epithelium in the esophagus and oral cavity. So mucus membranes can have a variety of different types of epithelia whereas the cutaneous membrane has a stratified squamous epithelium with keratin and the cirrus membranes have a simple squamous epithelium. Now we're going to take a look at the process of wound healing to see how a membrane we're focused on a wound in the cutaneous membrane that is the epidermis endermis or the skin and how a wound in the skin is healed. The first step in the process of healing a wound in the skin is the process of clotting or hemostasis after the blood vessels are ruptured and bleeding occurs in order to stop bleeding there are clotting proteins found in the blood there's a protein called fibrinogen that's normally dissolved in the plasma of the blood that becomes a network of fibrous proteins called fibrin and this traps blood cells and binds the edges of the tear in the blood vessel in order to stop bleeding the platelets or also known as thrombocytes are cells that participate in hemostasis by stimulating the cascade of clotting that leads to the formation of the fibrin clot and platelets stick in the fibrin clot and produce clotting factors in order to stimulate the production of the clot and the growth of the clot until bleeding stops. Inflammation is the next response of the body or simultaneous response to damage inflammation is a response that works to increase the number of leukocytes or white blood cells in the tissue in order to defend against infection and remove damaged tissue there are inflammatory chemicals that are released in response to tissue damage and these inflammatory chemicals attract leukocytes and they also stimulate an increase in blood flow to the tissue there are four cardinal signs of inflammation that can be recognized in inflammation redness, heat, swelling and pain inflammatory chemicals stimulate vasodilation that is widening of blood vessels which leads to increased blood flow the blood vessels also become leaky allowing leukocytes and fluid to move from the blood into interstitial extracellular space inside of the tissue surrounding cells space inside of the connective tissue here of the dermis the next step after leukocytes have cleaned up damaged tissue and destroyed any foreign cells that could cause infection next step is proliferation and migration where cells divide and move in in order to replace damaged tissue fibroblasts from the surrounding connective tissue fill in the wound with a network of extracellular fibers and then blood vessels will grow through forming what's known as granulation tissue then epithelial cells grow in from edges along the damaged surface and cover over the granulation tissue forming a new layer of epidermis over time the next step is maturation or remodeling where the fibers of the connective tissue become reorganized in order to maximize strength and minimize scarring initially there may be a bulge from the thick layer of connective tissue that was produced and if that connective tissue isn't remodeled and covered with epithelial tissue there can be a scar fibrosis is this scar where a damaged tissue is replaced by dense connective tissue some tissues heal better than other tissues or will fully regenerate so regeneration is when a damaged tissue is replaced by the same type of tissue for example here regeneration would replace the epidermis that's been damaged with a new layer of stratified squamous epithelium with keratin a new layer of epidermis will replace the damaged epidermis and a new layer of dermis the connective tissue would grow in underneath and the fibers would be remodeled until they're oriented along the stress lines that provide the most strength to that tissue the tissues that regenerate easily are the skin for example most epithelial tissues regenerate fairly easily so our cutaneous membrane would regenerate easily connective tissue proper regenerates easily and bone is also able to regenerate easily muscle and cartilage regenerate poorly and then some tissues will not fully regenerate instead will be replaced with scar tissue for example dense connective tissue is the scar tissue that's going to be laid down to replace the cardiac muscle tissue or nervous tissue that's been damaged which cannot be regenerated instead it will be replaced with scar tissue with dense connective tissue and this process is called fibrosis when a damaged tissue is replaced with a scar tissue


And so I've laid out a few steps here. So our first step is to calculate the sample statistic. And in particular, our chi-squared statistic is the sum of this fraction. We've got our observed counts minus our expected counts squared divided by the expected counts and then all summed together. And so in order to calculate this chi-square sample, first we need to get our observed counts and our expected counts. Our observed counts are what we see here. So we need to calculate the expected counts and then we need to do this summation. And so the first thing that we'll do is determine the sample size. So I'm gonna take this table variable up here. I'm gonna do the count column. So table.count and this is referring to the column count. And then I'm going to sum that. So essentially by summing all of our counts, we can actually get our sample size. And then I can print that so that we can see what it looks like. 21 cards drawn. Next we need to get the expected counts. And so I'm gonna create a new array using this numpy.array command, which is essentially just all of my expected proportions. Now this is what we wrote up here in our null hypothesis 0.25 and it's the same for each category.  And so then my count exp is just my sample size times my proportions. We can print that at the end. And so we can see that it's all the same because they all have the same proportion, but the chi-square test compares counts to each other. So we need to somehow take that proportion into account and that's what we're doing here. So in theory, we would have 5.25 cards of each suit. Now that isn't actually possible, but that is sort of the ideal count based off of our sample size 21. And so then the next step is to actually calculate the chi-square statistic. So I'm gonna call this chi-square underscore stamp because it's my sample statistic. I'm gonna do two sets of parentheses. And in the first parentheses, I'm gonna take my observed count. So this is following this function up here. So my observed count minus my expected count squared. So in Python, when we want to do an exponential, we do two asterisks. And then I divide that by my count exp. And then outside of all the parentheses, I sum it. So we can run that. And now I have my sample chi-square value as 1.66. And so this is the first step to developing our randomization procedure. The next step is actually implementing that randomization. So once again, we're gonna be using this NP random choice which we're quite familiar with at this time. And in particular, we're going to replace equals true. And so the first step within step two is to initialize the variables. So we need to tell it how many iterations we wanna do. And I'm going to set up an empty array. And then we can start the procedure. So we can say for i in range of n, similar to what we've done before.  And this is what's going to randomly draw a suit from our options. So we can say np.random choice. And I'm just gonna draw from table suit. And if we scroll back up here, we can see that the suit column in our table data frame is diamonds, hearts, clubs, or spades. So it's just gonna draw one of those categories similar to drawing a card. Then slightly different from what we've done before, we need to define the probability at which to draw those suits 25% each. We define how many we wanna draw our sample size, lowercase n, and we replace equals true so that we don't run out of suits. So this will be our simulated draws, but we need to make sure those get into counts, which is what the chi-square test compares. And so we can say sim underscore counts. And so in square brackets, I'm gonna say sum or sim suits equals, equals diamonds. And then comma, our next point in the array is the sum of where sim suits equals, equals hearts. And I missed a parenthesis right there. So each of these summations needs its own parenthesis so that we can read it. I'm gonna enter down in between because it's still wrapped in the square brackets. Python knows it's still part of the same command. So then I do sim suits equals, equals, clubs. And then finally, the sum of sim suits that equals spades. And so this will be my simulated count variable. And then last but not least, we need to use that simulated count variable to calculate our sample, sampling distribution, our randomization chi-squared. So this is where our empty chi-square array comes in, set the ith term equal to sim suits or sim counts, minus count exp, which is what we defined up here, squared divided by count exp and then summed together. So we can run this and then we can see what the chi-square looks like, just an array, a very long array. So I won't keep that there, but good to know that it worked. And so then the next step is actually calculating our p-value.


Yeah, the division is a division that looks after kind of three main functions. One is the research function within IOM globally, so where they're kind of the lead in the focal point on migration research. We also look after all of IOM's publications, especially those that are published on the IOM bookstore, the online bookstore, and we also look after the library. We provide technical assistance and support to our field missions who undertake research, empirical research quite often in the field. We look after kind of reviews and endorsements of project proposals and concert notes and so forth. And we also undertake desk-based research ourselves. Yeah, look, the approach is really tailored to our circumstances and tailored to the needs of our readers, our readership, and especially our member states, of course. So we really try and focus on very high quality and balanced research and analysis. We're really very interested in working with long-term relationships, whether that's donors, beneficiary member states, or with migration researchers externally, and of course internally too. We obviously have long-term relationships internally, and that means that we try and play to the strengths of all partners that are involved. And finally, we need to be very astute and very, I guess, solutions-oriented in terms of skillful kind of resourcing. We have an approach which is low-cost, high-impact, because we have constraints in terms of resources, but we also have very high expectations. The World Migration Report, I mean it was instituted, it came about in the year 2000, so we're coming up to the 20th anniversary of the World Migration Report. The next one will be World Migration Report 2020. And it's the only truly sort of global migration report which looks at trends, it looks at patterns of migration, it looks at processes and how member states, how migrants themselves, the increasing number of actors involved in migration processes are able to support migration in a positive way and try and deal with the challenges that migration does present. I've used the 2018 World Migration Report in several ways in my work. Firstly, I've used it as a wonderful teaching tool, so I recently taught a new course called Migration and Human Rights at the Harvard Kennedy School. It's a graduate-level course for a broad range of different students from the government department or policy, but also from the law school and from the School of Public Health and a range of different disciplinary backgrounds. And I found that several of the chapters were just perfect as introductory overview pieces for introducing the students to a topic such as, for example, the rate of migration in different parts of the world, who's going in, who's going out, or some of the questions, some of the other questions about ethics and so on. And also, I think some of the graphics are really useful. They're very clear, they're concise, they're accessible, they're eminently power-pointable. So I would say that's one really big use and I think I'm going to carry on doing that. It's really a great resource. The Migration Research at Lunchtime seminar series was initially designed just after our first started to really support IOM's kind of approach in regards to critical thinking and inquiry. So we set up this series at lunchtime really just for IOM's style so they could hear the latest research and analysis, have researchers in to present their findings in from various parts of the world and really engage in a discussion. We then started to record them so that our field officers could actually access them as podcasts, video podcasts, and then we made them available because people were very interested in hearing the latest research and analysis. We made them available on our website as well. The main responsibility I would say is the World Migration Reports where I assist editors for each edition and I'm also responsible for drafting and coordinating with the external authors that we have. And otherwise I'm here to manage your research projects and to engage with different universities as well as academic and applying researchers. My main role is to provide technical support for field colleagues and internally here at Headquarter to prepare and implement and finalize research projects that involves supporting their conceptualization phase, project proposal writer, that involves questions regarding research method and ethics and who to work with in terms of collaboration with academic institution. As a head of publications my role is to coordinate and provide support and advice to IOM headquarters departments as well as field missions, regional offices and administrative centers on publication related issues. We provide different services, editing, layout and review and all of them, all publications even if they're not done through pubs should come through pub for approval and make sure that they comply with the style my own spelling and I am running my own. My work in the research division has largely focused on the World Migration Report. I worked on the World Migration Report 2018 and I'm also part of the team working on the World Migration Report 2020 mostly focusing on chapter three of the report which largely consists of stats and key regional migration dynamics. I am also coordinating the media strategy for the report and that includes working very closely with our colleagues in media. I am responsible for the library which is more or less tasked with helping people with their project development with their daily work by providing literature or doing literature research for them putting resources at their disposition which they cannot find free of charge on the internet. And so I'm basically doing everything, literature, research, acquisition, cataloging, trying to get electronic resources, organizing things, developing tools for retrieving the information and generally trying to make IOM happy. So my responsibilities have to do with a lot of fact checking and data checking. We're almost done with the World Migration Report and we need to make sure that all the numbers, all the figures, all the charts are 100% accurate and precise in in line with other documents from around the world. Academic researchers all over the world depend upon good data reported by IOM and so we're making sure that everything we have is correct. The scope of my work here at IOM is mostly research based so I work on desk based research as well as in producing materials for research management here at IOM. Most of my work involved either literature reviews or production of research management materials. My work here at IOM focuses on supporting my colleagues in organizing research and global migration events and that includes interviewing researchers, media specialists and global migration specialists. And with the information from those interviews I produce media and social media material that is designed to reach both internal and external audiences. We know that our kind of limited resources and our focus and priority needs to be on the World Migration Report 2020 which we're working on now to finalize for the end of the year and for its release. So that's our real priority but at the same time we're constantly supporting the field in their endeavors around migration research, providing technical assistance, providing research guidance notes and also the seminar series as well as other outputs such as the Migration Research series. There is a keen interest among the local stakeholders to use evidence in programming as well as policymaking in the field. Therefore the publications that are produced by this division are useful references for IOM, IOMers. Apart from that, the guidance that we receive from the division on research methodology, experts and reviewers are also quite useful in implementing projects. Some of the projects where there is a significant amount of research being done, if we require guidance, research division is one of the places we definitely come back to to ask for inputs on research methodology. Experts and before we publish something also to see if we can identify suitable reviewers.
