This is John Vreslin with you on Around the Northwest. It's time to talk knees we all have a couple and They invariably give us bother at some stage When we're younger that tends to be injuries of one sort or another and then as we go on a bit in the years It can be osteoarthritis or you know other ailments, but Johnny Lowry hopefully is going to put us right on perhaps how we can and sort of front-load and how we can Work towards Not just easing the problems when they arise but also maybe avoiding the problems and they're not getting there in the first place So Johnny and I joined us on the show Johnny. Good afternoon. Afternoon John. Thanks for having me Yes, you are indeed. How are you John? Good. Thanks. Good. Thanks. Yeah, we're live on socials as well By the way, just if anybody wants to tune in and by the way if anybody wants to get in touch You've got a problem with your knees or if there's something that's in niggling you in Particularly in that department then let us know and then maybe we'll be able to help out but Any problems? Very common John. Yeah, it's one of the most common things we'd see in a clinic aside from probably backs and necks You know, we know kind of knee injuries are very prevalent We know kind of from the research about one and three men and one and two women will experience knee pain You know and the incidence increases with age as well So most of those particular figures are in people above above 50 But you know, we know kind of we can get knee injuries like sprains and an impact injuries and different things like that Or we're going to talk about today. It's just those kind of more generalized Types of knee pain that we'd see frequently in the clinic and those kind of from middle middle-aged and up So because When we have a problem with our knee the first thing we think oh, what did I do that? I twist it or you know that I overwork it and sometimes it might not Might not be the case and it might just be something creeping up and you like rusty or arthritis Especially, you know if they're moving on years. Yeah, and where there's not kind of an obvious thing It can often be like a supposed multiple little factors that are all merging in together And those are probably the more frustrating injuries for people if they can't link it back to something specifically You know, they come in and say look this pain has been getting a little bit worse for for a number of months I can't think of what I did to actually hurt the knee And there there are a number of different knee conditions that cannot present like this as well So we would have Probably the most common one aside from osteoarthritis would be a thing called patellar femoral syndrome Where your kneecap Has a little groove in your shin bone and a groove in your thigh bone and it's designed to track Up and down through there when you bend and straighten your knee and so if there's any little issues with that It can give you kind of generalized pain to the front of the knee as well And I mentioned before just the osteoarthritis thing which obviously, you know None of us in life can avoid wear and tear as we as we get on in the decades Decades start to accumulate so that would give you more kind of pain then and around the inside and outside of the Knee joint and again those both those conditions It can be very difficult for people to kind of trace back, you know, why they started And for both those conditions ultimately does it does it lead to a knee replacement or an intervention to leave the surgery? and you know cancer G be successful without Needing a new replacement So the the osteoarthritis thing definitely would kind of be the one that would just as kind of the years go on lead to Possibly the likes of a partial or a or a complete knee replacement total knee replacement So that would be where the the joint basically it's like an engine in a car where it kind of runs out It's been nearly and and over time. It's it's not able to do its job because it's so kind of There's so much deterioration there so that that would be where you would get the replacement There are other types of surgery as well when there's kind of I suppose a lesser degree of wear and tear they have a menisectomates called where Say for example, if you have the meniscus if you imagine like a ham sandwich and the ham is the is the inside filler When you have two bones in the knee you have like a meniscus, which is a spongy kind of cartilage type substance in the middle you can get little tears in that And up to 50% of us walking around every day will have little tears in it and have absolutely no issues and the majority of those can be treated with physiotherapy, but sometimes if there's a It's called a bucket handle tear if you imagine a smooth surface If the surface is no longer smooth and it's almost like a fingernail that's kind of sitting And it's not congruent and it's creating clicking or locking A surgeon kind of has two options there where they can either go in with nearly a little set of clippers and and clean off the surface there to make it smoother Or the other option is they can actually stitch it which which is a longer recovery time but they try and kind of not take the the meniscus out but Just repair it a little bit the patelefemoral type stuff I was talking about earlier with the kneecap typically in Nearly all scenarios we we manage that with physiotherapy just and there's no surgery needed for that type of knee pain Well, I was that soldier because I've had I've worked on on both knees and everything from torn cartilage to A full ACL repair and Lump removed in another knee the so-called good knee. So, you know, I've been down the surgery route but the It can be it can be irritating. I've found that If there's a problem you need especially if you've lost maybe a little tear in the cartilage it can go from Something as simple as irritating to very painful or even your knee locking up Yeah, yeah, they can progress and that's why it's you know, it's important when you identify that there's an issue there to Uh to get it looked at and and seen because like you were saying there depending on the on the presentation Some things can can kind of go downhill a little bit quicker and when you catch these things earlier Say if there is a little minuscule tear that needs to be Treated the sooner kind of it's it's looked at the better Early intervention is always is always best and in most cases There's kind of nice simple things we can do and in daily life even to take pressure off the knee You know, I've kind of got a little list of things that we can go through But if we talk about kind of overall pressure on the knee, there's a there's a few kind of simple bits of advice that we can That we can use to try and try and take pressure off the Let's talk about them. I suppose the the obvious one is, you know, try and try not to have excess weight on because More weight we have on more pressure. We're putting on our knees Yeah, like we we know when we're doing anything and we're just using running as an example But if I go out and jog up to between three and five times my body weight has to be absorbed through My knees with every step. So if you think about the average person might take 80 to You know 70 to 80 steps on each leg and every kilogram of body weight that I that I have has a huge impact on how much Pressure my knees are going to be under. So, you know, even when we talk about body weight there We're talking about adipose tissue. So kind of fatty tissue So if you put on a kilogram of muscle, you know that that muscle will give you strength and help you Whereas it's really the the extra kind of body fat if we can, you know Lose it, you know, even up to a kilo of that it ends up taking a lot of pressure off the off the two knees over the course of a whole day What other measures can we take to uh, you know to try to ease the pressure on our knees or over the years over You know sort of day to day So day to day What we would kind of be Preaching I suppose in the clinic is to increase activity Slowly and consistently so the body doesn't like kind of sharp changes to lifestyles at all So if you're taking up kind of a new sport or you're trying to get involved in more exercise Um, just to be looking at kind of introducing that, you know In a in a slow and consistent way, whether it's walking or cycling or or running or swimming or doing whatever it is So trying to avoid kind of sharp increases or decreases in what we're doing That gives the body a chance to adapt and get used to the load that we're under Um and I mentioned running there But you know often people think that you have to stay away from from impact in order for the for the body to be I suppose healthy, but what we know from the research is that If you don't use it you lose it so uh to a large extent when we keep fit and we keep strong And even exposing the body to a little bit of impact isn't isn't a bad thing at all You know where it's where it's appropriate because it keeps the joints nice and nice and fresh and healthy And and kind of trains them to be able to cope with that type of load And I suppose you need to look at how you're doing activities as well So if it's an activity that involves a specific technique or something that you're looking And maybe get get involved with a coach or get a physio to look at the way that you're doing things To maybe take a little bit of pressure off the knees whether it's uh You know squatting or lunging or cycling or doing different things Um, so make sure that you're doing it in the correct in the correct way Um, we know strength is massively important So, you know engaging in strength exercises and the bit of flexibility Um, you know training is really important for keeping the knees healthy as well Uh, and and I suppose just being smart about what you're doing So, um, if you have a pre-existing knee issue that you know is there, you know Get a bit of advice about you know, what type of exercise you should be doing or what type of sport you should be doing whether whether, you know Exercises that involve a lot of impact or appropriate for you or not as I say to some degree They're they're definitely important to be uh integrating into things when it's when it's appropriate But you know, everybody's different so and your own knees might not be able to Uh, to cope with that. So just being being smart about what you're what you're putting the knees under a common sense approach And and keeping and keeping the the knees strong Important as well Someone says I ran a marathon at the weekend on the 23rd mile. I hurt the outside of my left knee I punished the marathon Um, if it's the outside of the knee one of the things that we would see a lot It's actually term runners knee But it's you've got an iliotibial band, which is basically a thick piece of connective tissue Um that goes from the outside if you're hip down the outside if your leg and attaches down onto The outside if you're off your knee there now without kind of seeing or assessing It's difficult to to diagnose and and you know But this would be on the if we're talking about pain and runners on the outside of the knee This would be the the most common one that we would see now Obviously in 23rd mile you're going to have done a lot of kind of bending and straightening of the knee and taking a lot of steps there Um, so I'd say probably the pace that you were running at and the distance that you covered just uh was a new experience for the knee You know and the likelihood is that it's an inflammatory response So the tissue has got a bit agitated and angry with you. Um, so the best thing to do there would be to reload it So obviously a lot of people post kind of marathon will go out for recovery runs and do different things like that I wouldn't advise running on that knee if it's sore in the outside Um, you could look at going to the gp and getting some anti-inflammatories Maybe just get in touch with you know a physio and get somebody to have a look at it and and give you a concrete diagnosis But in the meantime, I would be using a little bit of ice for symptom relief Um and just taking taking pressure off that knee and giving it a bit of relative rest And that applies I suppose the most injuries if you have a wee niggle that's come on or into your knee in any way Ice and rest is the first thing Yeah, yeah until you know until you know more about it I would say definitely if you're if you're experiencing a new type of pain that wasn't there before Um, you know, you're you're better kind of knowing why it's why it's happened there before you kind of push it any further. Yeah Finally, johnny a question about An Achilles injury and I'm gonna do it the knee. Well, they're probably nothing It's slightly torn Achilles, but it's very slow to heal any suggestions. Well, Achilles can be slow any attitude Yeah, and what what can often happen is um, because a tear is typically uh, you know a fresher type of injury. So Basically, if a if a piece of tissue is strong enough to tolerate a certain load and then we ask it to work harder Then it's it's strong enough to tolerate. You'll get a tear in a structure And and those so we would grade tears normally so it can say a grade one could be anything from seven to ten days A grade two anywhere from kind of four to eight weeks Um, you know, so they come in different stages depending on We don't kind of have an idea of how long this has been happening But when when kind of the injury is as long a lasting and can become chronic or there for a number of months What can often happen as it changes into a thing called a tendonopathy? So rather than the tear being a problem, it's now the fact that the tissue is weak and painful Um, you know as a result possibly if a tear air layer on but the best way to treat that would be the likes of Uh a progressive strength program So actually retraining the tendon to be able to To tolerate more with the likes of you know, heavy heal raises and and getting the tissue in the Achilles Nice and strong and robust and you can do other treatments for pain relief in the interim And shockwave therapy is also very effective for it as well. But I'd say if it's their long term And really it's not the type of thing. You'll kind of rub your way out of pain You're going to have to exercise that tendon and make it make it nice and strong Okay, okay. Well, that's helped the listener and thanks johnny knees We uh in order what stage in life and no matter how active we are We all need them and we need them in good shape. So like after an easy only we only have the two of them and Thanks, thanks a million for uh, sort of for the advice appreciate it. Johnny a little bit from jt. I said, thanks johnny. Thanks john Chef, why not treat yourself to a spot of lunch today at kelly's diner in that mechanic? Good man, john. Thanks for having me on and a lunch served to you at this award-winning family diner We discover lunch time Thanks, johnny Thanks john. I appreciate that. No problem. Look after yourself


My name is J.V. I'm a school trainer in Nepal. My name is Neera Chawlagal. I'm also a school trainer in Nepal. And we are here in Culture Orientation Centre, Nepal. Let's get into the class. I think this is very important for the refugees to start their new life in Australia because they have very unrealistic expectations before they travel to Australia. So we make them to prepare for their new life managing the real expectations. So this is very important. OSCO is a worldwide program that takes place in many countries. Once grants are made by an Australian embassy, the names then go to the International Organization for Migration where we get people ready for their trip to Australia. Part of that preparation is the OSCO course. Here in Nepal, courses are taught by Nepali trainers. The OSCO course is five days long. In that five days, we cover everything from how to shake hands in the Australian way, how to use a western toilet, to issues with family violence, and how to answer interview questions.  We call them that they are getting a new birth. So for them, OSCO class is really important because they are not used to modern equipments and even the life in a developed country. They have been living in refugee camps since 20 years. OSCO class is not a kind of traditional class. We have our different methodologies and teaching principles. We try to tell them that you are your first resource, take charge of your own learning. We deliver the OSCO training as an interactive way, active learning. When you get to go to Australia and when you see them, the participants a few months back who was struggling in your class who was really nervous and today when you go there they ask you, okay, do you want to take a ride in my car? Or like they just want to show their new house. So that's really satisfactory for me. OSCO training is really overwhelming for me because I'm not only teaching them but I also get to learn so many things from them as well. And I have met so many refugees in Australia. We get emails and phone calls from there and they really appreciate our work.


Three words changed my life. You're not qualified. You're not qualified. I cannot tell you how many times I heard those words in 2009. I had a great job. I love coming to work every day. Everything was going so well. In May 2009, the plan I was working for for over 15 years had closed without any notice. In two years I was out of a job and homeless. At that time I had been out of school for 25 years. I did not want to even attempt to go bad because I was truly embarrassed. But after a short thought I said you know this is a time to make my children proud. And that is the day all glory and happiness and praise enter my life and I came to Black Hawk Technical College to begin my journey. My GED, I passed it, graduated. The K program, Business Management Certificate. I'm now in the Human Resources program and all of this got me to the point. This is my destiny. This is where I belong. This is the path I'm supposed to be on. Thank

You're covering up for a round called twits and tell him to throw the creep out a Few minutes later in front of the local FBI field office special agent Jim Taylor is waiting for a car being driven by agent Frank Linden He sees it approach Sorry I had to get you waiting dinner Frank SAC assigned us to work together in a case. It just came in Every minute might be important what kind of a case is it Frank turn right at the next corner We're ahead for route 35. Where are we going water town? What kind of a case is this Jim you see the stories in this afternoon's papers about young John Anderson getting married Well, then you probably also saw the pictures of the collection of jewelry the bride got from Anderson's parents Yeah, well, so did a stick up man Anderson and his bride were held up 15 minutes ago Well, how do we get in on a hold up Jim? It happened on the train that they were taking to California They took the 740 out of here the newspapers really made Anderson his bride a target with those pictures sure did Well when the train was 20 minutes out of the station the Anderson's heard a knock on the door of the drawing room They opened the door the bannets stepped in pulled a gun and took every piece of jewelry the bride had with her Any description on what the band had looked like now? He's wearing a mask and look like a large handkerchief of the green border All we know is that he was a big man about six feet two inches tall that he's heavy set How come we're going to water town the 740 doesn't stop there Well the band had jumped off the train right near water town immediately after the hold up He pulled the emergency cord stopped the train and got away Train made a special stop at Watertown so that Anderson and his bride could get off there and wait for us Where are we going to meet them police headquarters? Well, this whole thing happened just 15 minutes ago Jim the trail should still be pretty warm. Yeah It's just all but warm enough to lead us right to the bandit. Yeah There's a man waiting for you. He said take his name. Mr. Chuck. Oh, thanks George clear up the table Hello Chuck brother am I glad to see you glad to get back here where you been Pete was here.  Oh What's been to call him as soon as I see what you got so let's take a look at it. Okay. How'd it go? Okay, the way you've been all this time. I had some trouble after I got the stuff What happened the guy stood still when I grabbed all of the jewelry But I started to take a big rock off the dames fingery through a punch at me. It didn't shoot him Did you know but I slugged him the dame started to scream then what happened? I shoved all the stuff in this little police They had ran out pull the emergency cord trying to stop they jumped off. What were you when you jumped on? I don't know. Well, how did you get here? I iced at a car You didn't leave a hot car out in the parking lot. Did you know? No, no No, I drove it up into the woods behind the joint.  Hey, where do I show you now? Tell me he ain't gonna like that. Oh, yeah, yeah, that stuff is beautiful Hey, are you gonna tell me where Eddie Manley is? I've been looking for him all over this crib He ain't at the bar. He ain't in his dressing room. Come on. Where are you hiding him? Who is this guy Ralph?  Well, tell him that right now Well, there he is and back here. Where? Manerson and his bride. Nothing we didn't already know Jim. She's still pretty hysterical Oh, I drove down to where the train stopped when the emergency cord was pulled. Yeah, did you find anything? Yeah, some footprints leading away from the train. Oh, we might get something from there Oh, I made some casts of the prints. They're in the back of the car We can drop them at the lab when we go back to the office, huh? Uh-huh The ground ought to be pretty soft out there after all the rain we've been having. That is take a look at my shoes How far were you able to follow the prints off for about a half a mile? I couldn't follow them once they reached the highway though. That's a highway 73, isn't it? Yeah, that's it And were you right near the bridge when the footprints ended? Yeah, how did you know? Because I think I can pick up the trail at that point. Oh, how? And just before you came in Jim, we got a report that a 1947 black Buick convertible was stolen on that road Come on. Let's send out a statewide alarm Okay, just a minute Well, come in come in say is your phone out of order. Well, no why well I hate to bother you at home But I've been calling you from the joint for 20 minutes your line was always busy Oh, well, I I was talking to a couple of guys in Florida. Oh Well out of Chuck make out. That's what I come over to tell you about Something go wrong again. No, not exactly Pete. It just didn't go a hundred percent the way we planned What happened this time well a chump put up a fight Chuck had to build him when the dame started the screen Chuck pulled the Emergency cord to stop the train. Uh-huh then instead of taking a cab to the joint from the station like we planned He hiked to the car Well, that's not too bad. That ain't the real trouble What do you mean? Remember the bum who came in to see it and that about Eddie Manley? Yeah, yeah Chuck and I were in the office. We had the loot spread all over the desk He busted in looking for Manley again. Did you see the stuff he must have What happened I conked him tied him up. He's in the closet in the office Chuck's there to see that he don't get away Well, we've got a problem If we let that stiff go the first thing he does is run right to the cops now contest about that You better tell toots to take care of them. Okay. I figured you'd want to do that But I wanted to talk to you before I gave toots to go ahead. Hey, wait a minute wait a minute. I Just thought of something why? This this office in pretty good That guy in the closet is just about Chuck's size, right? That's right Where's the car that Chuck stole after he jumped off the train? It's in the woods up and back of the joint good Let's hang this robbery on that stiff in the closet. Oh, well, it's easy Tell Chuck to switch clothes with the guy and put him in the hot car put some of the loot in the guy's pocket And shove the car off a cliff Listen The ticking of that clock should remind you that time is hurrying by But this is the last time the equitable society will offer its famous fact-finding chart for fathers and mothers to this radio Audience fact-finding chart for fathers and mothers. What kind of chart is that before I answer that question Tom?  Well, I really don't know mr. Keating. I've often worried about what would happen to them But I guess about all I've ever done is worry Tom The fact-finding chart is the first step towards ending that worry with this chart You know exactly how much money your family would require to live in reasonable comfort and security if you should be taken from them Here take a look at the chart see every foreseeable expense is provided for and you're guided by easy to understand Pictures every step of the way in five minutes You'll know the minimum income your family would need to keep going and to keep together During the critical years until your youngest child finishes high school sounds like just put the doctor ordered Where can I buy one of those charge you can't buy them Tom? They're free phone your equitable society Representative soon and ask him to bring you a fact-finding chart for fathers and mothers or send a postcard Care of this ABC station to the equitable life-assuring society your request will be forwarded to the nearest equitable representative There's the clock again Reminding you that the time is almost up that this is the last time the famous fact-finding chart for fathers and mothers Will be offered to this radio audience by the equitable life-assuring society of the United States And now back to the FBI file the slapstick hold up That a roadhouse which is a breeding place for crime a roadhouse like the one in tonight's case from the files of your FBI Is allowed to exist is not to be blamed upon either the local or the state police Well, the great probability is that those law enforcement agencies Are so undermined that it is impossible for them to do the job they want to do To clean the community of any such place It is your job as a citizen if you too want your community free of such criminal hangouts To see to it that your local police force is large enough to do its job It is cheaper in the long run and this has been proven in city after city To have such a large force of local policemen that criminals avoid your city in their travels Your bill last year the bill handed to you by thieves like the ones in tonight's case was well over a hundred million dollars That is what the value was of properties stolen from you the American people And unless your communities are more adequately police this year than they were in 1948 It is entirely possible that the bill for 1949 will be even larger Night's file continues in a waiting room at Memorial Hospital in Watertown Special agent Landon has just entered Got here soon. It's a good jam. Your message didn't catch up with me till a couple of minutes ago That's all right Frank. What are we doing here? Well, that stolen car was found by the local police It was where the bottom of a cliff a little way out of town man named guy green was in it We found some rings and a bracelet in his pocket. Oh Mrs. Anderson has definitely identified the items as part of the jewelry that was stolen on the train Well, that's just about closes the case then doesn't it yeah, I think so Yes, nurse. I'm mr. Taylor. Dr. Cordes said that it was all right for you to go in to see mr. Green now Thank you, but please don't stay in there any longer than you have to I won't it's the first door on the left Thanks again Frank. Oh, yes, Jim. Well, I'm in talking to green Why don't you check with his doctor about when he'll be able to be moved out again? Okay? Celia That's me. I'm a special agent of the FBI here my credentials. Well, it's about time you guys got into this case You mean you want to confess confess what? Committing that hold up on the train and stealing the car that you drove over the cliff I never stole anything in my life Except maybe an extra bow. How did you happen to be in that car? If you didn't steal it, I don't know tell me how you happen to have had that jewelry in your pocket. No Look, mr. Taylor. I'm an actor. Didn't you ever hear of an act called a guy named guy? That's me. I'm not a crook Where were you at 8 o'clock tonight, mr. Green? I was in a roadhouse called the Palms I went there looking for a guy named Eddie Manley. He stole my whole act If you're looking for a crook arrest him. Did you see Manley? No, it wasn't there You see anyone at the roadhouse sure saw a guy named Pete Craig who owns the place and a character named Ralph Harper Who runs it for him? I hope you can prove that's true. Well, you're in the proving business, mr. Taylor. Not me Yes, you're quite right. Well, I'm going out to that roadhouse now and see if your alibi is true Tell me what about the stiff we tied up in the closet. Well Chuck change clothes with him Like I said, we put the rings in bracelet in this pocket. Was he still out? Well, he came to for a minute, but Chuck belted them again. He was out cold and we put him in the car Yes, Chuck got to the cliff got out put the bomb behind the wheel shoved the car over the edge Well, it went okay, then up to there it did What do you mean two guys were fishing in the stream? They heard the noise and came running pulled the guy out one of them ran a call to hospital How do you know a pretty soon an ambulance came and then there was some cops. Oh That's great. I got a feeling he's still alive. Where's Chuck now? Out of the park He was supposed to get cut in for 25% of this wasn't he that's right Pete Well, call him in give him $200 and tell him he's fired My name is Taylor. I'm a special agent of the FBI Here my credentials. Oh, well, my name is Harper Frank Harper. I'm the manager here What can I do for you, mr. Taylor? I'd like to talk to you about an entertainer that you have working here Why don't you come into the office? It's a little drafty out here. Oh, I think You say you want to talk to me about one of my actors. That's right a performer named Eddie Manley He don't work here anymore. Mr. Taylor. Oh, when did he stop? Well, he was drunk when he reported for work tonight, so I fired him. I see. I'm sorry. I can't help you Tell me mr. Harper has anyone else been around here tonight looking for Manley. No, I see I'm the manager here like I said, and if anybody wanted manly they'd have been sent to see me the way you were I'll admit manly wasn't a very good comic, but I didn't think he was so bad to get arrested. We're not trying to arrest mr Manley. Oh However, do you know where I might be able to get in touch with him? Well, he was drunk like I told you when I threw him out of here a couple hours ago Maybe you can find him in one of those other joints up the road. All right, mr. Harper. Thanks very much Sorry to have bothered you not at all mr. Taylor come back any time Myself Jim. Oh, I spoke to the manager at the palms He denies that green or anyone else was around tonight looking for Manley manager He's the one green claims did the slugging isn't he? Yeah, he's the one I Don't know how much they're doing is any good But I made some plaster cast of the tires on the stolen car that green was found in. Oh good Did you go through the car? Yeah went over every inch of it I thought I might find a secret compartment with the rest of the Anderson jewels still an awful lot of it missing Almost all of it. I wonder what green could have done with it Oh, I haven't seen you since I checked those plaster casts. I made it the bandits footprints Oh, why because I'm not so sure now that green did the actual hold up What might she say that well the shoes he was wearing when he was brought into the hospital didn't match the footprints made by the man Who jumped off the train besides green shoes had taps built into the toes Oh Well, then maybe a handkerchief I found stuck behind the front seat of the car is more important than I thought it was What I get you for that this one both mr. And mrs. Anderson identified it because of the green border as the one that the Bandit used for a mask. Yeah, it is important Well, it's obviously been laundered But we'd have to send it to the lab in Washington to have them read the invisible laundry mark before we even start to find out Who's it was? Well, we haven't got that much time Take about two days. I know that Jim Hey, wait a minute Frank. We're in a hospital. What more do we want? Come on? We don't have to send that handkerchief to Washington. Come on Put up the safe Ralph. Let's take a look at that stuff. Sure, Pete. Did you get rid of Chuck? He wouldn't take the 200 Let him drop dead. He's out of the bar getting loaded probably waiting to see you I hope he holds his breath till I talk to him and 45 to the left Hey, Pete It's all in this bag. Fine. Let's lay it out on the desk and take a gander at it Hey Hey, this is good-looking merchandise. It's got to be worth 20 G's maybe more. Yes, sir And I know just the guy who can handle it for us too. There's a guy in Pittsburgh that handled some stuff Nice-looking stuff up beat Knock on that door before you come in here after this Chuck. Why? Because you don't work here anymore Okay, you can leave now. I want to talk to Ralph alone. I ain't leaving empty.  Don't you move either Ralph? Why don't you stop it Chuck?  You got that whiskey courage going for you sure sure I'm loaded now.  Ralph put that stuff back in a satchel. You better do what he says Ralph. Okay, Pete Yeah, that's smart boys. It's smart. I'll close it up Ralph Stand back while I pick it up. Okay, Chuck you too Pete.  Oh, no Take care of him. I'll get the two inside. He's a G man, Pete. He was here before that's right Craig My partner and I are both special agents of the FBI. We want all three of you for attempted murder Of Harper Peter Craig and Charles Wells each received sentences of 30 years for theft from an interstate carrier and attempted murder Special agent Taylor helped solve tonight's case because he remembered that invisible laundry marks can be read under ultraviolet light and that the hospital had a room equipped with ultraviolet ray machines After contacting the correct laundry. He found that the handkerchief belonged to Chuck Wells a known employee of Pete Craig The owner of the Roadhouse because that made it appear that the story told by the comedian Guy Green was true Special agents Taylor and Landon searched the territory surrounding the Roadhouse in the woods immediately behind the club They found tire marks which corresponded to the plaster casts They had made of the tires on the stolen car when Chuck Wells shoes fit perfectly into the other plaster casts The ones made by special agent Taylor at the spot where the bandit had jumped off the train There was no longer any doubt that Guy Green had been telling them the truth and thus in the space of five hours Your FBI not only was able to check the careers of three desperate Cariminals, but it also was able to perform the job.

What's good y'all should roll Ross back again with another video. So we're gonna check out six wwe wrestlers fired Immediately after a match. This should be interesting.  You're done So I would love to see what matches like who were you know involved in the matches and I'm really interested to check this video out I saw this in in my sub box and I was like, yeah, I definitely got to check this out with you guys Just off the title alone. So I appreciate all the love and support Road to 50k. Let's do this thing There is a possibility that a superstar can have a match in wwe that irritates wwe chairman Vince McMahon So much that he decides to fire them believe it or not This does happen and has happened a number of times throughout wwe history Are the reason for the firings is always different Sometimes a superstar can go off script and break PG guidelines and as a result of Vince has no choice But to let the superstar go or the superstars opponent may just so happen to be one of the top stars in the company And that top star may complain about their opponent directly to Vince Resulting in Vince firing them on the spot. Well, which wrestlers were they? Well join us now WrestleMania looks at six wwe superstars who are fired immediately after a match Be sure to subscribe and hit that notification bell for daily wrestling videos and follow us on Facebook for exclusive lists number six Eugene was one of the most controversial characters wwe had ever created Eugene in essence was a superstar who had learning difficulties and as a result this made him a target Not gonna lie to you his character was It really was bad, bro. They they literally would use Eugene as a lot of like joke Scenarios and it's like you couldn't do a character like Eugene now on television They would get canceled like you just couldn't for wwe's heels Even though the presentation of the Eugene character has aged quite terribly. Yeah, this didn't stop wwe in attempting to bring back the character in 2009 Wwe would re-sign Eugene with the aim of bringing him back to television once they found an appropriate story line The storyline to decided on was to book Eugene in a contract on a pole match versus the Calgary kid Who would later be revealed to be the Miz according to Eugene himself Vince McMahon? Absolutely hated the way he looked in the match damn Okay, listen up. He just hated She hated the way he was looking in the match. That's a damn from the boss himself Oh Eugene stated that Vince had a major issue with his weight gain and that nobody's gonna want to see fat old Eugene And as a result he was fired immediately after his match with the Miz Number five Cain Velasquez Cain Velasquez is wwe career was a complete and utter disaster on all accounts The issue started right after his debut night in wwe as Cain would interrupt Brock Lesnar following Defeating Kofi Kingston to win the wwe title on the debut edition of Smackdown on Fox There's a lot of fans.  They did Kofi wrong They did him so wrong his his run Literally didn't mean Jack squat to wwe Because they were really trying to promote, you know Smackdown on Fox and they just killed everything he worked for Like that. They are my he Kofi got squashed. I'm okay with Kofi losing So Brock that's fine What I'm not okay with is having Kofi get destroyed in the way. He got destroyed the match didn't even last That long he was done. I'm like, bro. What what are you doing? Why? Why would you do that to car man Kofi deserve better? He saw he deserved better, bro And who felt like fan favorite Kofi was being pushed aside in favor of a Cain versus Brock for you Yeah, if you do it's nobody wanted to see after all they had a real match in UFC So why would we want to see this? Yeah, Cain would only have a total of one match during his wwe run And it was so underwhelming that wwe decided to never use him again following that match and will be released as part of 2020's budget cuts Cain would face Brock Lesnar at the crown jewel pay-per-view and it would last just over a minute before Cain tapped out Poor crowd reactions combined with a terribly received debut match gave them no choice in the matter There were talks that the wwe may have brought Cain back for a Royal Rumble appearance However, there were reports at the time that Cain was rather vocal that wwe planned to do this So they pulled any plans on bringing him back into the mix Number four, Kurt Angle. A Kurt Angle is an interesting addition to this list In the case of Angle, instead of being directly fired shortly following a match with Sambu on ECW in 2006 Angle went directly to Vince McMahon and requested that Vince fire him Angle was an immense pain when danking injuries The release of Angle was a huge deal in 2006 as he was one of the wwe's top stars and naturally left a lot of fans disappointed May or not know what was going on behind closed doors in relation to Angle's health Vince actually released an official statement commenting on Angle's release back in 2006 He would state it's unfortunate that Kurt was released and it's really unfortunate for the wwe fans who for a while at least won't see Angle in action Angle is a consummate professional Obviously he's a great athlete and he's the only Olympic gold medalist in wwe history Not to have Kurt with us is really unfortunate all the way around But circumstances were such that Kurt should have been and was granted his release In relation to what Angle thought about his release on his podcast he recently revealed I was in a state of turmoil and even my relationship with Vince started dwindling and it was getting more erratic and I was you know calling him leaving him messages with threats and just I just fell out of control I was in a bad point in my life Wow That's Wow, bro. I did not realize Kurt was going through so much Like yo man Kurt shout out to Kurt Angle for just enduring that just to still Entertain us wrestling fans at that time man Like I think that is a good thing that he did leave, you know, he he did get a chance to fix himself up because Yo, that that's a recipe for disaster. So Hey shout out to Kurt for being aware like hey, I may need to step away from this And then of course the mr. Kennedy situation. This is uh, this is one of those situations. Yeah I know about mr. Kennedy being released. Uh, yeah, and mr. Kennedy he he was gaining some steam But yeah, we're we're gonna for those who don't know you'll find out soon enough in this video During a wwe house show in summer 2008 Mr. Kennedy dislocated his shoulder in a match against Shelton benjamin This would put kennedy out of action for a total of 10 months And kennedy would make his huge return in may of 2009 as part of a 10 man tag team This just so happened to be kennedy's last match ever for the wwe in the match He would flub a back suplex on randy orton and this absolutely Enraged orton who proceeded to complain to wwe management immediately after the match claiming that kennedy was unsafe And that he didn't want to work with him kennedy would state in 2009 that randy jumped really really hard In wrestling it's give and take it was a matter of either i drop him on his head or i help him through this His neck never even touched the mat which makes me wonder why he even went to the trainers room to get his neck taped up He was so injured that he went on to wrestle three nights in mexico kennedy's comments once again enraged orton who went on a message board to respond to kennedy Orton would state that kennedy did indeed drop him on his head and that he did indeed go to wwe management to complain A lot of fans jumped to kennedy's defense when orton decided to leave yet another message on the message board involving kennedy's wife Orton would state i honestly hope for his wife's sake that he can find something else he's marginally good at and earn a living I know he really wants to entertain so good luck ken you're gonna need it According to kennedy he wasn't just orton who complained wwe's top star john senor also went to wwe management to side with orton As soon as he's out of a job it's better Damn man. Uh, yeah, bro That whole kennedy situation was definitely nasty This would ultimately leave vince no choice but to release kennedy from his wwe contract number two brad maddox brad maddox was well known to wwe fans for his time spent serving as the general manager of raw between 2013 and 14 Following his rather forgettable stint as the authority figure of wwe's premiere show maddox would return to the ring Mainly working dark and live event matches. However in november 2015 maddox would be immediately fired from wwe After he referred to the crowd as cocky pricks during a pre-match promo for a dark match Due to wwe being a pg presentation vince reportedly hated the promo and made the decision to immediately fire him Now A lot of fans called vince out as just a few months later. He would drop an f bomb live on television Fans believed it was incredibly hypocritical for vince to fire someone for cursing at a show Then doing the exact same thing himself just a short time.  All right Hypocrite much I'm afterwards And number one the ultimate warrior. The ultimate warrior was without a doubt one of the wwe's He's chasing him down with the steel chair. I love that ever However, he was notoriously difficult to deal with and his behavior in relation to his match at 1991 summer slam pay-per-view Is a clear indication of this One month before summer slam a warrior would write a letter to vince threatening to no show the pay-per-view unless he was paid Over half a million dollars that was apparently owed to him This left vince in a difficult position as warrior was supposed to be in the main event of the show So vince had no choice but to pay him the hefty sum Vince apparently informed hogan of warrior's threat and hogan actually suggested they resolve things in a physical manner But vince refused this approach and stated that there was no other way than warrior's way Vince would ultimately get the last laugh though as immediately after a warrior came through the curtain at summer slam He would be fired in the official letter that vince would hand to the warrior It would state that you threatened to stay at home thereby not even appearing at titan's major summer pay-per-view event summer slam I had no choice but to accede to exorbitant demands. This was a serious mistake on your part But they have it focused on six ww wrestlers who are so he got That money you got the money, but then afterwards. Yeah, you're out of here.  I had to pay you money to extra Yeah, you're out of here, man. So yeah, man. Um, this was crazy When it comes to vince mcman and and what he wants in his ring and how he wants it done You know, that's that's just really what it is and and if you have some pool In wwe which we've seen sometimes if you've got some pool, you're a major player You can complain to management by yo, man. I don't know about this guy. You may have to get him out of here and Nine times out of ten if it's you know, if they really value your opinion They'll they'll act upon it. So it that's what they call politicking right there. So but comment down below Let me know Which of which one of these uh wrestlers did you not know got released? Immediately after a match. Let me know. Uh, I didn't know that kurt angle wanted to be released After his match. I I didn't even know that, you know, I I never really died into the situation of why Kurt had left originally, but that was interesting to know So appreciate all the love and support rode to 50k appreciate y'all kicking it with me and I see y'all on the next one peace


Well hello everybody and welcome back to my channel! Today we're going to be doing a sinking funds video! This has been highly highly requested for 2017 and I want to be 100% honest and let you guys know that this is not something that I am going to be using in 2017 just yet. As many of you know that watch my videos, I am currently staying at my parents' summer home in Minneapolis. They are allowing me to stay here so I can save up for a house. I am well on that journey and I'm starting to look for homes right now. So I am making this because you guys wanted to see it. There will probably come a time during this year that I will utilize this just not right now because I have a lot of excess funds that are going into my savings that I can pretty much bankroll any sinking fund that is coming up within a certain month if that makes sense. So anyway that being said I just wanted to be 100% honest on the get go and let you guys know that this is just kind of a mock sinking funds for me personally but I know a lot of you wanted to see it because you wanted to draw some inspiration from it. This is my budget book for this year. This is the 2017 monthly deluxe planner from Aaron Condren and just to let you guys know these little tabbies did not come with the book. I actually put those on. I will link my walkthrough of my budget 2017 playlist like down below so you can see it if you want to. I just got them at Michaels. So anyway that's like my most commonly asked question and my battery is dying but let's try to get as much as we can done and then I'll be back after it dies. So anyway I've been doing a lot of filming today you guys so anyway this is an Aaron Condren sticker book. I am not sure if they still have this sticker book or not. In 2017 I'm trying to use up what I have but I will be leaving links below to the Aaron Condren website. I know at the store like not the Aaron Condren store but like um what is it staples I believe. They have this book still at my local staples. I was actually there not too long ago and um yeah they had it so I mean maybe they just don't have it at Aaron Condren.com anymore. I don't really I don't know. So yeah but I'm just I'm just judging it up a little bit because you know I gotta I gotta make it look pretty you guys because you know even if I'm not actually using this for myself I want it I want it to still be pretty. So that looks cute. Alright and I'm gonna use this little orange one and I'm just gonna write sinking funds and maybe you should define what a sinking fund is. When I started budgeting pretty hardcore a couple of years back I was like what's a sinking fund? To me everyone has a different version of sinking funds. Wow this is like not coming off. Oh here we go. So to me a sinking fund is anything you need to plan for. So that being said anything that revolves around something that would be an upcoming expense that maybe you don't have every single month. So like for me personally I wouldn't put like groceries on my sinking fund list because that is something that will probably be happening every single month you know. However what I did this year with my little setup and I walked through this in my like how I set this book up anyways which will be on that playlist is on the actual monthly spread page I put down here on like a little little post-it note what I have coming up that I will need a sinking fund for. So I'm gonna use these and transfer them over here and just make some columns and just see how it works out. I think I'm just gonna list them all and then if I have more I can always you know add more later if need be. So um so I have a February planner event and then I also have January puppy sitter. Alright so that's all I have for January it's going to February I don't have anything as of right now. March I've got my nephew's birthday and I will allocate some more funds that month for that. April I don't have anything. May I don't have anything. June I've got my dog's vet visit. July I don't have anything. August I've got my car tabs. Also the state fair which most people wouldn't allocate more funds to but I am going to because it's amazing. September I've got nothing as of right now. November I'm just gonna put in my December Florida flight. I normally purchase it in November and then also holiday gifts. I hope this doesn't look too different but my battery finally just totally pooped out on me. So that being said we ended at well we didn't even get to December but in December I will also have a Doyle puppy sitter so I'm just gonna put that in for December. I guess I don't have to like Doyle puppy sitter but whatever I can just write puppy sitter there we go. Alright so these are the things that I always just kind of have coming up. Also other things that I want to put in my sinking funds that I just haven't yet are my let's see I carry a AAA insurance. What that is is actually like my it's not auto insurance but like if I get stuck in a ditch somewhere or I need a jump or something I pay around I think it's like $90 a year and then I have this like extra insurance which is nice because that pretty much covers like one toe if I have to get towed. Haven't had to use it in a long time but I actually have had to use it in the past and it really sucked but anyway AAA insurance I also have my life insurance I pay annually. I'm also going to put a line for birthday gifts just kind of like a general you know general fund of that. Also my dog's medication my dog has seizures so he once a quarter has to get medicine and I know how much it is and all of that stuff so we're good to go there. I can't really think of anything else right now I mean I'm sure I'll think of I'll think of something you know but anyway so here's my February planner event what I'm going to do is I think I'm going to use this little thingamajig again and let's use this blue one why not why not let's make a little line here and you guys don't need to make it all pretty I'm just making it pretty because that's what I do it's what I do y'all let's see what other what other one do I want to use we use this one too so I'm going to use this column for the approximate and I'm going to use the next column for obviously like I would put that in once I pay that so then for the next year what would happen is that I would have a more accurate detail about how much things are going to be if that you know makes sense those look really wonky to me whatever we're going to go with it okay so the February planner event I'm not sure how much that's going to be I'm just going to estimate around the $50 mark so yeah my January puppy sitter let's see here that is going to be I know that's going to be exactly $80 Jackson's birthday I'm not sure I'm going to allocate like $60 for his gift the Doyle vet visit let's just say a good around $200 he's a little bit older he'll be turning 10 in a couple of weeks so yeah as for car tabs I have no idea I need to change my registration and everything too so that's going to be a little more expensive I'm just going to go like 350 as an approximate I have no idea as for the state fair I want to allocate myself about $100 if I end up using less that's fine let's see December Florida flight I know I just paid around like 400 so let's do like 450 just to be safe holiday gifts I don't really give too many gifts it's usually to kids that I give gifts so I'm just going to say like 200 bucks uh December Doyle puppy sitter I'm going to do like 220 I don't know how long I'm going to leave for kind of dependent on that as for my triple A insurance that is usually what did I say it was around like $90 typically my life insurance every year is around the same it's about $120 a year miscellaneous birthday gifts those let's see and just like regular like just kind of gifting if you will let's do like $300 there and then my Doyle medication those are that runs about 280 a year if the prescriptions don't change so then now what I do is I will take my calculator and then I will make like a total at the bottom of expected and then I will divide that by 12 months so so as for all my sinking funds right now it's an additional $2,500 so I'm going to put that at the bottom here of my kind of total expected so $2,500 also this is a great way if you are planning on purchasing another vehicle oh I didn't even put that in like vehicle maintenance and things like that um since this is kind of a mock one I'm not going to like unpretty fine my stuff but you could put in like like a new vehicle fund like new car fund um you could also put in like car repair you know uh tuition anything that you know you think is going to be happening that you're going to need also you know a upcoming trip or anything like that um and then how many months you have to save for that say it's just the $2,500 just to make it neat and clean because I already wrote it down um and then we divide whoops so $2,500 and then we divide that by 12 months so we need to put an additional $208.33 away every three months or not every three months every single month throughout the year so and then we divide that by 12 and that equals $208.33 so theoretically if I put all of that away then all of these expenses will essentially be paying for themselves there are times in sinking fund budgets where there's a lot of excess in your sinking funds because a lot of these are coming up at the very tail end of the year but there's also sometimes where a lot of it comes up at the very beginning of the year so for me what I would want to do if I was using a sinking funds budget is to allocate enough padding to be in there um or use some of my not emergency savings but excess savings to put into that fund and then replace it throughout the year um with that you know 208.33 every single month until it's all replenished and stocked back into the account that you took it from and then over on this column I would just write the actual once I actually know what the actual is like my January puppy sitter that's definitely going to be $80 so that I already know um and then everything else is kind of an estimate as of right now um my Doyle puppy sitter in December is probably going to be around that 220 mark again but I'm not really sure it depends on how many days I leave for so that is it that is a look into my mock sinking funds for 2017 I hope you guys enjoyed and got something out of this sorry this isn't exactly what I'm going to be using this year just because I'm in a really weird financial situation I can't tell you for sure 2018 I'm going to be using sinking funds like it's going out of style because my situation is going to dramatically change and so I'm going to have to be really really diligent about my finances nothing I'm already not diligent I'm just saving a very large excess right now because I am saving for a house so anyway I'm going to let you guys go thank you so much for hanging out with me for a little part of your day if you have any questions feel free to post them below and I will get back to you also the link to the Aaron Condon website will be below for you guys that's where I got this book as well as this sticker book uh like

Exposure to SCP-4490 does not permanently repair, restore, or correct visual impairment in exposed subjects, and all related benefits end when the glasses are removed. Recovery Log. On December 12, 2016, researcher Samuel Hendricks was injured in an on-the-job accident where exposure to caustic chemicals caused irreversible blindness. Dr. Hendricks was granted early access to his pension and allowed to medically retire from his contract in good standing. On January 4, 2020, Dr. Hendricks contacted the foundation and requested to be reinstated. He disclosed that he had received an anomalous object that had restored the use of his vision. He offered to submit both the object and himself for any required testing with the understanding his reinstatement would be given serious consideration. It is noted that Dr. Hendricks cooperated with all requests for information and access to the anomalous object in a timely manner. After careful evaluation, Dr. Hendricks was reinstated to active duty and allowed the use of SCP-4490 while assigned to level 2 work. This employment agreement requires Dr. Hendricks to bequeath SCP-4490 to the foundation upon either his termination, retirement, or death. SCP-4490, its carrying case, and an attached letter while inventoried prior to Dr. Hendricks' return date. The carrying case is made from a dark stained hardwood and lined with a faux velvet material and demonstrates no anomalous properties. A copy of the accompanying letter has been transcribed. Sam, all throughout my childhood, you were always the strong one, the leader. The house was always noisy, crowded, busy, but you were the calm and cool center of the storm for us all. I can't imagine any tougher task than trying to keep all of us in line after Dad died, but you found a way to get all of us out of high school alive. I just wish you could have done so with more compassion. Yes, Christmas is about rewarding each other with thoughtful gifts and the spirit of togetherness, but it is also about hindsight. You were cold, you were angry, and you were distant. It was one thing to want my oldest brother's respect, but entirely another when life cruelly bent our family into making that same brother into my father figure. But the lessons you taught me, some more poignantly than others, helped shape me into the man I am today. I'm an ophthalmologist, an actual honest-to-god doctor, and I've got the student loans to prove it. You forced me to grow up, to take responsibility for myself, to decide that if anything was going to be made of me, it had to start from within. For that, I thank you. And it is in the spirit of that hindsight I give you my greatest work to date. I was sorry to hear about your accident, and I can only imagine what you're going through. We both said some things, some really nasty things, to each other over the years. I hope you'll let me be there for you during this difficult time like you were there for me, and maybe this will make us cool again. 2020 Vision Your little brother James Update On January 6th, 2021, Dr. Hendricks has applied for medical retirement once again.
