Hello everyone, welcome to another video. So I thought I'd make this video today on an email I received. Now, before we start, I want to sort of preemptively state that this isn't an anti-Muslim video. I think practicing religion is fine. I think having a belief in God is fine. As long as those beliefs don't infringe on human rights or animal rights, as long as you're not hurting no one, I think you know, it's fine to have your own belief system and believe in God and believe in an afterlife. I think there are many good points about religion. I also think people sometimes use religion to justify horrific things in the name of God. Now, I do think religious principles should be questioned, especially in the modern times, but we've got to focus specifically on Halal slaughter. Now, I've got this email from someone and it says, I want to introduce you to the Orthodox method of Islamic Halal slaughter. Now, because today the demand is so high, the method and rules are neglected. This has forced me to either slaughter my own meat or simply turn to veganism. I believe after you watch these three separate 15 minute videos, you will understand the spirituality and wisdom behind the Islamic method of slaughter. And I hope you can stop spreading misinformation by informing others that it is important to distinguish commercial RSPCA approved Halal slaughter to traditional Orthodox Islamic slaughter. Okay, so RSPCA don't even approve Halal slaughter. Not that I've seen anywhere. Well, in the UK, they definitely don't. They think animals should be stunned before slaughter. Now, I think animals shouldn't be slaughtered at all. They shouldn't be raised for food at all. Now, this is in a competition to say which is worse. I think they're both bad. Sometimes stunning doesn't work. But I've also been in a Halal slaughterhouse in Bali. And I got criticized by many Muslims saying this isn't how it's supposed to be done. Well, I tell you what, when you get footage from these Halal slaughterhouses, they're not even doing it in the way that, you know, you guys all say it's supposed to be done. They're not facing the animals to Mecca. They might be saying a prayer, but the animals are being slaughtered in front of each other. There's been so many exposés of these Halal slaughterhouses and they're horrific. Just animals having their throat slashed open, no stunning. So they're suffering for 10 minutes, you know, shaking as they're dying. With stunning, they're stunned in the head, they're cut across the throat, and then they they're pretty much a lot of the time they're unconscious when they're bleeding out. But you know, I think they're both horrifically cruel. I think cutting someone's throat open without stunning them might be even crawler. They suffer for longer. They have a big cut across their neck. But yeah, RSPCA don't approve Halal slaughter. So I don't know what you're talking about there. There are Halal slaughter guidelines. There's a few requirements they have to meet. But then when you expose these places, they are absolute hellhole horror stories. If you cannot prove that your meat was slaughtered to the Halal standard, you should just be vegan. And anyway, I'll explain why you should be vegan, even if that is the case, because the video is coming up. He says, you'll be shocked to see in these videos no resistance at all by the animals. Sam simply can hold two grown sheep with two fingers, one on each side, proving that these animals when following the Islamic method by consent are ready to be willingly slaughtered. The animals have no fear. They're in good health and treatment. And they understand and are willing to be sacrificed. Now I'm going to take some issue with his claims here no fear and they understand and are willing to be sacrificed. Good health and treatment, I mean, good health and treatment prove it may get a vet down. They look like they're in good health. These animals, as you'll see in these videos, they look like they're in fine health, but they understand and are willing to be sacrificed.  Now let's watch this video. Today I'm going to share with you a video, an amazing video of two parts about the authentic Islamic slaughter, not using stun guns or hammers or any other equipment, electrical equipments, only using simply only using God's name upon slaughter. So basically you're not using any equipment, no bolt guns or anything like that, just God's name. And you forgot the big sharp knife. So the sharp knife and God's name. And he also created lambs and goats as a blessing for humans for the purpose of food and clothing. So God created lambs and goats for the blessing of humans for food and clothing. Well then, I don't understand why God would make them to feel pain, suffer, want to live. You know, I just don't understand why he would design animals that are only here for food and clothing to have a brain to perceive pain, fear. They have a desire for life. If you try to kill them, they don't want to be killed. If they know they're going to be killed, which I'll get into later, it just doesn't make sense to me. Why didn't he just design them like plants with no brain and no wants or desires, no subjective experience? The scriptures also preach about a human treatment of animals. And as humans, we only have the right to slaughter them in God's name. So as long as it's in God's name, you can slaughter whatever animal you want for whatever reason you want, okay. And humane treatment.  Humane treatment would like imply just looking after them. I don't know. Where does the knife and the throat come into this? These animals are bilingual and they all know God's name when it's mentioned, no matter what language. So he's making a very out there claim that these animals know when God's name is mentioned without any evidence or any proof at all. And they always feel the heart of the slaughterer if he believes in that word or he doesn't. Once the belief in there and the faith is there and the word is mentioned is guaranteed effect and a guaranteed submission. La ilaha illallah, Allahu Akbar. So if the animals hear those words, apparently they submit to God and they're willingly slaughtered. He's making very strong claims here, like he knows what the animals are thinking and feeling. What we're going to do, we're going to take the mamas, we're going to bring them over here and we're going to make them submit on the ground over. So he's throwing the animal on the side. Now I just want to tell you I'm not going to show any of the slaughter. You'll get the idea. We'll we'll send to the slaughter part out. So don't worry, you can watch this through if you want to see what we're talking about here.  And funny, like God makes slaughter horrible to watch for us humans, but also animals are here for us to eat. It's weird. Like I have to give you a warning, like a trigger warning and censor it out. But if it was like God's word and God's wish, why did he make us feel sick when animals get their throat cut? I just don't understand that logic at all. So basically flips him over on their side. Let's keep going. And now he's covering their eyes, covering their eyes. This is total submission. Total submission, he claims. This guy is ready for anything to be done to him. And he's not nervous. He's not resisting. He's in total relaxation. No panic hormones whatsoever. Little relaxation, no panic hormones whatsoever. So he's making these very strong claims that just because an animal submitting like that, when their eyes are closed and there's this guy dominating them on top of them, that there's no panic hormones and they're submitting to be slaughtered. Like how do you jump to a conclusion like that? I just don't understand. When animals are in fear, sometimes they become frozen. I don't know if you've ever been so terrified that you become frozen with fear, but this can happen to animals. Sometimes it's a deer and a headlight. Sometimes when they're getting hunted down by like a lion, they might freeze. Sometimes chickens can play dead if they're terrified. So here we have this study on fear in sheep. And so here it says, although there is wide individual variation in fear reactions in sheep based on personality, as a prey species, fear in sheep is typically expressed by behaviors such as highly focused visual and auditory vigilance, immobilization, a frozen posture, fleeing attempts to escape and defecation. So this immobilization, this frozen with fear could just be a fear response. I mean, but he's just jumping to these conclusions that it's the the animals have been created by God and they're just submitting to the knife. We'll go on to show exactly why this is nonsense later on when he actually slaughters the animals, but let's continue. See, I let him go, he gets help. I let him go and he runs away. Okay, if he's submitting to slaughter, why doesn't he just stay there and wait for the knife? But watch this, if these animals are willingly submitting to God, why do they act like this? No, he needs to show a skeptical person. I mean, look at this. Does this look like they're willfully submitting to God? Same reaction. They all react the same. The power of the word. They're more religious than most humans. Um, I think when the animals can't see, they just become terrified because they can't see or perceive what's around them.    I mean, it's just insane. It's just insane.  Are they submitting to slaughter to God? I mean, it's just insane to jump to these conclusions. Here he's got one there holding down by the face and he's grabbing another one, whispering God's word. Look at their legs. See, as if they're not just terrified. Look, here's one here. Here's one terrified, gets laid on their back. Watch this. So now he's got three, right? And this is his claim they're submitting themselves to God. Look at this one here, though. Look at the one in the front of him. Look, moving, shaking, shaking, terrified. They're scared. Like in his claim in his email, the animals have no fear and they understand and are willing to be sacrificed? Jumping to massive conclusions there really are. This is just absolute nonsense. Look at this. Two of them. Two of them. Two of them to pull this animal down. But now he's got one finger on this sheep's head, like, okay, the sheep is obviously submitting to getting their throat slashed open. He's totally answering the calling and he's happy with it. He's so happy with it, he's answering the calling. No, this sheep was just pulled down by two guys, all right, on their back where they can't escape. What's this sheep supposed to do?  Scared, they're scared, they're terrified. Like if his claim was true. Look at this. I mean, if his claim was 100% true that these goats and sheep are put here by God and they submit once they hear the word of Allah, why doesn't that hold true with all of them? I mean, some animals are more submissive than others, some have a greater level of trust, some get scared more so than other animals, some struggle more. They all have different personalities. As you can see, this one here isn't submitting to God. As you notice, some of them they'd be a little resistant to submit than the other. And it depends on a lot of factors, how wild he is, how much human contact that he had. So how wild he is and how much human contact they have determine how much they are willing to submit. Yeah, if you can train an animal to submit itself, you can train these animals.  You can outsmart them and train them and they're just submissive because they're vulnerable. They are vulnerable animals. But eventually, you're sincere with a prayer and you're not distracted by anything except for by God. So he's putting it all down to the prayer. If you're sincere with a prayer, that's when they submit. No, these are just submissive animals. Or frozen with fear. And he is really enjoying it. One finger. He can easily get up if he wants. But he's answering the call because he's happy. He just puts it down to their relaxing submitting to God. This is just insanity. Let him go. That's my finger. And he doesn't even want to move. I mean, we can go on. There's another one more here. Total submission. Total submission here. He's happy to go. This is delusional. This here is delusional. You have to have faith and you have to use the word. And you have to rely and know that the Creator is going to subdue this animal at this time. It's not even me. It's not even him. So you're saying that God is subduing this animal, not the fear that's been put in the animal. Not the fact that the animal is completely defenseless. The animal cannot do nothing against you two fully grown adults. And you always jump into these conclusions that God wants his creation to have their throat slashed open when you can easily eat plants.  And the animal runs off there while they laugh. Human beings, when they're going to be shot or tortured or about to be raped, sometimes are frozen with fear. This happens with children.  That rush of adrenaline can completely freeze you in your tracks. Okay guys, so I want you to stay for the slaughter part here because I want you to see how this guy contradicts himself and how delusional he's being.

Hello, my name is Martin and I work in international support in Superoffice. Today I will show you how to set default values for new follow-ups. And I promise it will be simple. Let's have a look. Normally, when you create a new follow-up, you have to set the follow-up type, duration and enter description. I will help you to skip all that by setting default values. To do that, I'll go to my personal settings and preferences. I see default values for many fields, but today I'll concentrate only on follow-ups. To this field, I will enter a text, which will appear when I create a new appointment. It will be meeting with... Next step is to select appointment type. As I meet mostly with prospects, from the drop-line menu I'll select prospect meeting. The last step is to enter the duration. Most of my meetings take one hour, so I'll enter 60 minutes to this field. I'll click save. It will refresh. And now, when I click on new appointment, I can see my type, duration and description is already there, and I don't have to set these fields manually ever again. I have shown you how to set the default values for an appointment, but you can do the same for many fields in Superoffice. Thank you for watching.

Hey there friends. Thanks for checking in 2019 was an interesting year for new released Firearms my last video I concentrated on 50 new handguns that entered the market from a variety of manufacturers But with this video, I want to show you my top 10 acquired Firearms for 2019. So let's get to it all these have been safety checked and they are Unloaded we'll start with the Colt King Cobra target This is what I consider the closest snake gun that Colt has produced since their Traditional snake guns that so many people wanted and and this really is cool with the four and a quarter inch barrel wood Ultamont grips. It does have a fiber optic front sight adjustable rear sight six rounds of 357 magnum they built this for the competition market the double action is Really nice. Of course the single action is what we would expect from a Colt revolver The hottest semi-auto gun in early 2019 was by far the SIG P320 X compact. This was hot now We got used to the X carry which is larger. This has a 3.6 inch barrel optic ready Night sights pick rail 15 round magazine flat face trigger. This was the hottest thing going By far and people loved it and they love everything about the P320 compact It was hotter than any of the P365 models in my opinion I was so happy to get that and I've enjoyed it ever since the One rifle that I've really enjoyed. I have two rifles here this one. I've really enjoyed it It's a Ruger American Ranch rifle 16.3 inch barrel This is chambered in 350 legend and I've showed on video several times of me shooting 350 legend from various distances and I easily hit my target from 285 yards with that round using this rifle now I've got a Harris bipod a vortex diamond back optic 3 by 9 by 40 and The rifle itself has been so much fun and that round has been so much fun It's inexpensive and a great Hunting choice that a lot of people are starting to figure out and they're enjoying they are enjoying that themselves You know, I'm a big fan of car arms. They released the covert which has a PM 9 upper and basically a P or a CW 9 Lower all right, which allows three-finger contact seven round magazines But the uppers the the PM 9 that so many people love six and a half pound double-action trigger pull Remains the same and this also has night sight. So it is ready to carry Out of the case after you put your initial rounds through to gain the trust that you need Springfield Armory put out the Hellcat and here it is all right very subcompact gun also a three inch barrel It does have a Tritium dot in the front a you notch in the rear But the big advantage here is 11 rounds in this real small package They also have another magazine that carries 13 rounds very thin very lightweight They claim that it is the smallest and lightest gun with the greatest capacity in today's market It also has a flat face trigger and a lot of people are warming up to this gun and Springfield as a whole the Other precision rifle that I want to show is right here. It's a Remington mag pull enhanced 700 with a 20 inch barrel. This is chambered in six millimeter Creedmore Now when I went to a precision rifle training class called K&M precision rifle training I used this gun this rifle Matched up well with all these custom-built rifles that the other students have it was amazing. They had like 5,000 to 10,000 dollar rifles now I'm not going to say that it performed as well, but I will say that I was able to tag my targets eight nine hundred a thousand yards Pretty consistently using this rifle right here, which was by far the least expensive, but built very well Now you may notice I don't have an optic here. I had a night force like a $3,000 optic that I borrowed from night force. I had to return that so I'll be on the lookout for a precision Or a long-range precision optic that would suit this rifle well, but I am so pleased with the way this performed That I can't speak any highly or any higher of it Rex Delta Eric's arms put out the Rex Delta imported by the fine group It looks like just another one or nine, but I really do dig it. It's got some features here that are so cool It's actually lighter than many of the other models in the same class Nice trigger pull one of the things I want to demonstrate. However, is that when Disassembling the gun all you do is pull it back a little bit Take these takedown levers push them down and pull off the slide All right, it's just so easy some of the other models that I've noticed are coming out with similar Disassemble processes and I think it's so cool. You get it back on there and just rack the slide and you're back with the rex delta great gun and The fine group priced it right under five hundred dollars Rock Island armory came out with something very special. I don't think it got the attention it deserved and that's the BBR 3.1. It's got a 3.1 inch barrel to subcompact 1911 with a double stack magazine so some people may call it a 2011 but it is a 1911 subcompact 10 round magazine with a fiber optic front sight adjustable rear sight And of course that single action trigger pull that is super sweet. What a nice offering They have there in in that format now The walther q5 match was a big hit this year the steel frame one I slid under the radar and was able to get the poly frame q5 match With all of what the q5 steel frame offers just with a different lower A little different cut with the upper but for the most part the same gun a little bit lighter And it is so accurate with the five inch barrel fiber optic front sight the excellent trigger that we love From walther that's branded blue 15 round magazines. It's just so nice And i'm so happy to have that gun and then cz put out the p10 s which is a smaller p10 c But it's also optic ready 3.5 inch barrel extremely nice handgun by cz a lot of people wanted to know where where are they You know where you know they were introduced. They were reviewed But they're still hard to find they're starting to come out now I'm not sure really what took so long 12 round magazine hb industries makes a plus two base plate that I have here for 14 rounds in a subcompact 9 millimeter handgun that a lot of people love so that's what Are my favorite 10 acquired handguns for 2019. I can't wait to go to shot show and show you what 2020 brings I guarantee I will bring as much as I possibly can to you and you can decide Which new firearms will work best for your situation if you like videos like this, please subscribe and share I always appreciate thumbs up button. Thanks for watching and you guys be safe


e my answer. Let's see the numbers. Let's see what the impact is. And then I can probably comment. Okay, I think theoretically, yes, but specifically, I got to see the numbers, because if we get a 1% increase, you know, and everybody's going to say you got an increase. So so we have to we have to see the impact. But but but conceptually, Mike, that was that was one of the drivers behind us going into the whole one care program and was moving towards equalizing the reimbursement rates from all the payers and hopefully taking some of the pressure off the commercial side. If the governmental payers kind of ante it up appropriately. So I would say, very yes, but as Steve said that the devil's always in the details, but I think it's, we would certainly sit down with interest and look at that with you guys. Talk about it. Well, that's good. I think I'll just say, you know, as from the advocate's office perspective, I think it will be easier for us to fiercely advocate for that with an agreement that there will be a dollar for dollar transfer of those monies into reduce commercial rates. Thanks so much. So the questions I have and thanks for thanks for the interesting morning. Great. Well, thank you. I think our last item then is just to open it up for public comment. So are there any comments from the public? Yeah, I see your hand raised first. Welcome. Can you hear me? Yeah. Okay, so I just had a quick list on your macro trend, just a little bit of clarification. Your overall trend is a plus or minus. I know you can balance it out in the budget, but a little more on where you see that trend going on your workforce. I was wondering, you have traveling, while people that are traveling nurses, whatever that come in, but you have traveling teams, because I thought I heard you say like mobile. Is that teams or is that people on your wait times? I was wondering as you work this through, can you actually get more in person visits or are you going to diminish wait times by creating virtual visits. I know there are pressures in there. So I was looking for more information on that. You're bad that I want to push back. I think it's an assumption to say that people with bad debt can afford to pay if you've got a bronze plan and you max out over a medical event that maxes out all of your out of pocket expenses at once. That that isn't necessarily I can afford to pay. That's a bad debt that you're so fast and so hard that you can afford to pay it. So I just wanted to push back on that a little bit. And I'm sorry. And I'm sorry, this is the reporter before a response is given. Could I please have your name who asked the question. Oh, deal. Sorry, I never did my name. Could you please fill your last name for the record. A. C. K. E. T. T. And you can put a he on the end if you want to make me from Canada. Thank you very much. You're welcome. Food security when it comes to food security, I was concerned about people especially that have certain medical conditions and has special diets. That's where I see there is a major factor in terms of sure I can hand them food, but based on their medical condition. That doesn't mean that they can actually use it. Well, that is last across the last one off. So sorry. That's kind of a long list. I went through it as fast as I could. Thank you. And I couldn't keep up with the list. So hopefully we'll we'll I'm going to go to try first to talk about wait times. Yeah, so I mean, the short answer to that, Dale, and thank you for pointing that out is that our desires to have patients seen in the right place, whether that's virtually in person in a specialty center or in an office. So we work to we were working to improve access in all of those areas again to what's most appropriate, you know, telemedicine has a strong role, but it is not by any means people hear me say this all the time. The answer to many situations that require inpatient relationships further with telemedicine. There's some idea that you can make magic providers and those people serve on, you know, telemedicine. That's not true. You still have to get the position and advanced practice provider involved and many of them don't want to sit around and do telemedicine visits all day. There is they lack some of the knowledge that they would gain by the in person visit. So, you know, in short, we'll put the patient physician relationship where it's most appropriate to improve access. So I got a couple of other things related to the travelers. That's a term that we use Dale. When we bring in outside contracted nurses or or professional staff. So we we try here at Southwestern, you know, as we explain the presentation that we're trying to maintain our staff and use our own staff, but if the need arises, we can go out and get travelers and bring travelers in. So just to add to that, again, Dale, this is more future but in our discussions with Dartmouth, we have talked about the concept of creating a cadre of travelers that could go around to all the system hospitals that help in their their workforce needs. So that may be that kind of goes to your terminology of a traveling team that can provide assistance. So not in place today, but certainly being actively discussed. I really like that idea. Thank you. So going to the comment I made about bad debt knows who can't pay and won't pay your example of a person that has high deductibles and and can't pay. If they show up and they can't pay but yet they have insurance, there are ways for us to get them into a program. So, you know, the the terminology I use isn't isn't isn't applied to everybody but it's just a high level classification and the people in bad debt that that that can't pay. And a lot of them don't comply with the documentation requirements we have to do sliding scales or provide charity care to and if we got more people. And I think this is where Mike and Sam and and I think act 119 and just good business practice. As we as we talk to our patients who may have a challenge meeting their coinsurance and deductibles, making these programs available to them and maybe they have a $5,000 high deductible plan, and maybe they can afford $1,000. Maybe we can get them into the free care for the other four for the 4,000 as an example. So working, you know, conversation and discussion will help us move people into charity care and and I'll call it sliding scale. So, I don't know if that that helps you understand why I classify those in the two buckets. And food security is, you know, we're involved in that and one of the things that I do know are our teams that go out to the homes. We do try to help secure. We have nurses that go out and follow up with patients in their homes and we make sure that they have the right food. If they're diabetic, we make sure we help them get get food if they're elderly and they need special needs. They help. It's not perfect. And it, but it is a start and I do know that they they do secure some food for, but it's not for every patient. Thank you. Yes, it does very much. Thank you. Great. Thank you for your questions, Dale. Are there anybody else? Is there anybody else from the public that wishes to make a comment? If you do, you can raise your hand. You can actually speak now since I don't see anybody with our hand raised. If somebody's having a hard time raising their hand on the teams, feel free to speak up. Chairwoman Holmes, can I just like for sure here? I just want to say out loud that due to my technical problems, I've had a hard time hearing some things, but I very much appreciate the answer that seem to judge and just gave. I think it's important and we look forward to working on that. Great. Okay. Is there anybody else? Is there anybody else from the public that would like to make a comment? Hearing none. Hearing none. Tom, Steve and Trey, I really want to thank you very, very much for your clarity for your candor as always today and but most importantly for all that you're doing for your community. It really came through in your presentation and I really appreciate your approach and that commitment. I want to say, you know, I agree with my colleagues on the board. They've said this, but I really think it's true by going first. You have really set the bar high for the hospitals that will follow you.  And the other innovations that you do are, you know, admirable and really highly valued. So also if you can share my thanks to your staff, because I know it takes a village to do what you're all doing. So the three of you are here, but I know that there's many, many, many behind you that are that are helping out.


It's their 9th appearance since 2006. World Girls hockey has become regulars at the Class A state tournament. The past two seasons, a pair of third place finishes. Could this be the year though? To make another run added title. They open up with new home in the quarterfinals and they get the start they wanted. Mackenzie Olker centers to Tiffany Foster, who knocks it in. One nothing war road after one. Then the second hand of Corneliusen takes over right up the middle. Quick, deep to her forehand for the score. Two nothing warriors. Then later in the period, check out this move. Whoop, then finishes top shelf for her second. That pushes the lead to three. And how about another in the third? Tara Johnson doesn't even reach the blue line, but it doesn't matter. She beats the keeper for another. That was plenty of cushion for Quinn Coons. Faces 20 shots on the night. Stops all 20 for another shutout. Impressive start for the Warriors at the state tourney. They go on to win five nothing. For more on the victory, here's Clayton Castle at the X. Well, there's just under a week ago that the World Warriors are in the top seed in the class 1A state tournament. And tonight they lived up to that seeding in the state quarterfinals with a five nothing win over new old. We got the lead and that's what we wanted to do. I thought new one played pretty good. They're a nice team. And gave us everything we wanted and kind of gotten our way a lot. But I think the two quick ones in the third were big. Got the pass from Katie and then saw the open ice, so I took it and then had to get around here. So I put it through a stick and then went one way and the other and scored. We can't turn it over in the neutral zone as much. And I think our forecheck needs to be a little bit stronger. Sometimes we lacked our specialty, which is speed. And we got to go hard to the net and crash it. With her two goals tonight, Hannah Corneliusen joins teammate Maddie Olkers with 40 goals scored this season. Reporting from the Exile Energy Center in St. Paul, Clayton Castle, Lakeland News. Well, who will they take on? Will someone other than St. Paul United finally, does Alexandria beat them tonight? So semi-final set for 1PM Friday afternoon. If you enjoyed this segment of Lakeland News, please consider making a tax-deductible contribution to Lakeland PBS.


Why do you think it had the late life tonight? I mean, maybe you know a little rest that we got I think half late seven days or something like that. I was feeling good, you know The command of the fastball. I was good, you know, down the way even in you know, I Feel a little bit more rest You have that pitch and you can set up your slider. How much better does that make you? No way better, you know, not only that, you know, the change I was there too, you know that made me Three pitch pitchers, you know, not expecting, you know, only five-month slider And when I can't come in my fast, but no, I thought velocity made me, you know Way better picture than I am and also mentioned he felt like your slider was at times inconsistent But was getting better as the game went on. Did you feel that out there? Yeah at the beginning of the evening Of the game was that good, you know Later got better, but it wasn't consistent. So I need to work more on that pitch It was I mean to get the sweep out of this and to you know As you struggle a little bit in the second half, but to pitch well and get the win tonight It's always good to win, you know Against these things, you know, we always always struggle a little bit against this thing and come here, you know And when for games, it's something very good, you know The guys are hitting, you know, we're pretty good baser right now And I hope it will continue doing it. What are your impressions of your new first baseman this series, Luke? He's so good, you know, I get so happy when he hit a homer, you know He's my name all the way get to home plate. I mean, he's been doing a pretty good game Pretty good, you know job in the games, you know He didn't put power, you know, he got a good eye getting on base with walks and he's doing everything right now Are you guys feeding off of his enthusiasm?  We don't want to play hard until the end of the year, you know We're not thinking about, you know, rex us with thinking about our game and thinking about winning every game You know, if the end of the next month we're gonna be close or not, you know We don't know but we're gonna play hard every day About the rex house, I think everybody understand, you know, we need to play hard We're not we're not thinking about, you know, rex house We're thinking about Yankees winning games and I think we have a great record and If we can continue playing like we we are playing right now, we're gonna be good Is that exciting though knowing that you guys were nine and a half so out just a couple of days ago? Of course, it's exciting, you know Like I said, we're playing at a good base right now and at the end of the year We're gonna see what's going on


K.C. Venugopal Ji, K.S. Sudhakaran Ji, Ramesh Chaitanthala Ji, P.K. Kunyalikutti Ji, J.B. Mathur Ji, A.P. Anil Kumar Ji, Anwar Sadat Ji, P. Vishwanath Ji, V.S. Joyi Ji, Vishwanath Ji, leaders, party workers of the Indian National Congress and the UDF, friends from the media, I'd like to welcome all of you here today. You are all aware about what is happening in our country today.  Our institutions that represent the voice of our people are being attacked and captured by the RSS and the BJP. And the voice of the people of India is being crushed. Anybody who stands against the ideology of the RSS of the BJP is attacked in the media by the E.D., by the C.B.I., by the police. And the BJP and the Prime Minister thinks that they can frighten the people who do not agree with their ideology. But there are many, many people in this country who are not frightened of the Prime Minister of the BJP, of the RSS and their capture of the institutions. The BJP thinks that by interrogating me for five days, asking me the same questions again and again and again and again for fifty-five, sixty hours, I will get worried. They can not be a bigger joke than this. In fact while I was being interrogated for five days, I was wondering after I left, I was wondering why they only interrogated me for five days. Why not ten days? I thought maybe I am not opposing them strongly enough. Right, so we are not scared of these people. And we are not going to let these people destroy the fabric of our country. We don't believe in violence like they do. We do not believe in dividing society like they do. Anyway the media will not show this meeting. So we can ask them to remove their umbrellas. They will show the image of the Prime Minister but then it is not their fault. They get the order from on top. Anyway, so there is an attack on the institutions of our country and there is an attempt to divide our country between different religions, between different communities by the BJP and the RSS. And we have to stand against this attack on the Indian nation. And the more they try to divide society, the more they try to play one religion against another, the more we have to unify our country and bring people together. And the BJP is not only attacking the social fabric of our country, they are also attacking the economic backbone of our country and ensuring that only three or four big business men get all the advantage of the economics of this country. So if you look at demonetization and you look at the way they have designed the GST, it is aimed at destroying small and medium businesses in our country. And you can see the effect of this airport after airport, port after port, infrastructure project after infrastructure project goes to the same business people. And it is small and medium businesses that provide jobs to our country. So by doing demonetization, by applying a flawed GST, by passing the three farm laws, the BJP government is ensuring that India will not be able to give employment to its people. So with the social harmony that they are creating, they are also creating an economic disaster. And when you see the youth of this nation protest against unemployment, like they did just a few days ago, when the government announced the Agni Veer scheme, they are crushed by the BJP. But the country is going to have to face the disaster that the BJP has created. It is going to have to deal with the consequences of these actions. And there is only one ideology that can deal with it. And that is the ideology of the Congress and the ideology of the UDF. There is no other answer. You will see. There is no other answer for it here. The choice is not between BJP and the Congress, the choice is between Congress and disaster. This is between Congress ideology, Congress or intense anger and hatred in society. And we know eventually that we will be the people who will bring this country together again. Now I want to ask you one question about the CPM. So it is quite clear that anybody who opposes the BJP faces ED. I am hoping that they do it again 3, 4, 5, 6, 10 times. Now my question is, why is it that I am being questioned for 5 days in ED and the Chief Minister of Kerala is not being questioned at all? Why is it that the government of India which has ED, CBI, which uses these instruments against anybody who opposes them, why is it that they are not using it against the Chief Minister of Kerala? Because there is an understanding between the BJP and the CPM. BJP is very happy with the CPM, BJP does not like the UDF or the Congress. Yesterday in the public meeting I said that we are not going to allow inhabited areas within the buffer zone. That has been our position from the beginning and the Chief Minister should stop trying to confuse the issue. I have written to the Chief Minister, I have written to the Prime Minister. And our stance is very, very clear. It doesn't matter if the CPM keeps breaking my office to try and distract from the issue. We are very clear. We are not going to allow the buffer zone to include inhabited areas. We will fight the government tooth and nail and we will ensure that not a single inhabited person is stuck inside the buffer zone. I'd like to thank all of you for coming here today and giving me the honour to speak to you. Thank you. Thank you.


Kia ora. So I'm honored to be presenting this paper to you today on behalf of Douglas McCarthy. I first met Douglas in 2017 in Hamburg at Shear Care X, a conference dedicated to all things open glam. I've seen this survey that I'm going to talk to you about today, take shape over the past 18 months. And I'm really proud of this body of work that informs where we are at with adopting open glam on a global scale. This presentation aims to give you a zoomed out look at how glam's around the world are adopting open glam practices. And then we also touch on where New Zealand is fits in within this today as well. So on that note, this presentation aims to explore the global picture of open access and cultural heritage through the open glam survey and hopefully inspire excellent open access policy and practice. So what is the open glam survey? In essence, the open glam survey examines how glam's make open access data with the digital objects, such as images, metadata or text available for reuse. The survey was started in March 2018 by Douglas, collections manager at Europeana, and Dr. Andrea Wallace, lecturer in law at the University of Exeter. This research was completely independent to their respective institutions. Andrea will be familiar to this audience and community from her work on open glam and her keynote at NDF 2017. Does anyone remember the Mona Lisa Inception? So the survey is accessible via the short link on the slide, and the survey data is stored in an openly accessible Google sheet for public reference and comment. So feel free to jump in and have a look while I'm speaking. So Douglas and Andrea started the survey for two main reasons. Firstly, to address the information gap, encounter the lack of comprehensive up-to-date information. They wanted to provide a shared space to see and add relevant data, and they wanted to investigate the perceived Western bias in open glam as well. They were motivated to discover and share the global picture. And on top of this, they also wanted to develop a resource for glam people exploring open access policy and practice, and also people wanting to find and use open content or data as well. But firstly, let's define open. A consistent working definition of open glam has always been crucial. The survey adopts the open definition developed by Open Knowledge International. And in summary, it says that open means anyone can freely access, use, modify, and share for any purpose. So on this slide, this is the list of the principal licenses and rights statements which conform to the open definition. We have not yet seen the open data commons licenses being used in the glam sector, but they're just shown here for reference. And for the purposes of the survey, you'll note that there's an asterisk by the no known copyright. So for the survey that includes other versions of the right statement, this particular no known copyright refers to the right statement.org version, but for the survey results includes New Zealand's own no known copyright restrictions, and also the Flickr Commons version as well. But what about non-commercial or no derivative policies? Sorry, that is not open access. Creative Commons non-commercial and no derivatives licensing is too restrictive to be considered open. Non-commercial obviously restricts commercial reuse, and no derivatives prevents people from reusing the content in creative ways. So in essence, it restricts people from taking the work and remixing or building on it. And these licenses do not meet the open criteria. To put it very simply, there's a difference between seeing something and being able to use it how you please. To free access is not open access. The survey identifies instances of open glam where glam's make open data available on their websites and or external platforms, such as GitHub, Europeana, German Digital Library, or Wikimedia Commons. It focuses on digital surrogates of objects in the public domain, where the term of copyright for the material object has expired, for example, a vase or a photograph, or it has never existed in the first place, so for example, scientific specimen. The survey also includes glam's publishing digital content that is entitled to copyright protection. For example, site photography taken by photographers at the institution or images of 3D objects, but on open access terms. So this is a slide and a snapshot of the survey in Google Sheets, of the Google Sheets survey, and the survey is openly accessible on comment-only terms and managed by Douglas and Andrea. It is backed up daily and updated weekly. So here are some of the survey data, the columns. Just gonna talk you through some of the columns that are in the survey. So we have the institution name, which is in the original language. What country it's from and the type of institution. If there's a Wiki data item, if there's links to open data, including Github's, APIs and Wiki Commons. The licences, right statements for digital surrogates and the metadata. Sometimes these can be different. Links to terms of use and copyright policies, if they are any, and there's also a column with the admission fee to the physical museum as well. This is a new part of data that Douglas and Andrea have started collecting within the last few months. And also there's a column for the open access scope, which is some or all eligible data. So it's important to note that the survey records instances of open access by GLAMs. And these instances are often small in scale and exceptions to a GLAM's overall policy and practice. So survey inclusion does not mean that a GLAM has a blanket open access policy. To help communicate this, open access scope in the survey indicates where the GLAMs release some or all of the eligible data on open access terms. However, this can be hard to discern because few GLAMs communicate their open access policies so explicitly. Since its birth in March last year, the survey has developed in an organic and crowdsourced way. A combination of desk research and outreach to the wonderful open GLAM community has enabled it to prosper and grow. An important facet of Douglas's desk research has been using the API of Mega Aggregata Europeana to identify many instances of open GLAM in small to medium European institutions. And just as a note, anyone is welcome to suggest corrections and additions by commenting in the sheet, contacting Andrea and Douglas on Twitter or completing the survey Google film. So the number of recorded open GLAM instances has grown rapidly in the past 18 months from 30 institutions at the start to almost 650 today. And this shows you the current global picture of open GLAM based on the survey data. In large parts of the world, such as Africa, India and most of Asia, as far as we can tell, are untouched by open GLAM. That's not to say that it's not happening, it just hasn't been discovered yet. And also Douglas has said that anyone is welcome to make their own visualizations from the Google sheet as well. So this slide shows a breakdown of open GLAM instances by country using the survey data. You'll note that Germany is in the lead with 114. USA is coming second with 64. And UK and Sweden are third equal with 43. We are beating Australia on six, we have 16 and they have 10. So this graph shows you the most frequently deployed open licenses and rights statements seen in the open GLAM survey. And as we can see, there has been widespread adoption of Creative Commons public domain dedications and copyright licenses by GLAMs. As I already mentioned, when looking at the conformant licenses, some data smoothing, so mapping the non-standard licenses to the nearest standard equivalent, has been done here to assist the clarity of the presentation. For example, as I mentioned earlier, the Flickr Commons no-no-on copyright restriction statement has been mapped to the rightsstatements.org, no-no-on copyright statement. And here are the New Zealand open GLAMs. Collectively, they have released just under 800,000 instances of open GLAM material. If you're on this list, give yourselves a huge pat on the back. And just to repeat, if your institution is open in some way and not on this list, then please let Douglas know. So having the survey data in a spreadsheet format has an unavoidable flattening effect, giving the impression that all open GLAM instances are equivalent. However, the devil really is in the detail. And in order to truly grasp the open GLAM landscape, we need to go deeper. So as we saw earlier, the open access scope in the survey indicates where the GLAMs are at least some or all of their eligible data on open access terms. Here's the picture across the whole survey. Less than a third of the surveyed GLAMs published all of their eligible data openly. Less than a third. And remember, data includes metadata, text, and digital surrogates. To really grasp the disparity in the open access scope, let's take a close look at two GLAMs in the survey. Museums Victoria is an all-eligible data instance of open GLAM, as well as openly releasing digital surrogates of its public domain objects with the public domain mark. They also apply an open CCBY 4.0 license to their contemporary photography. And the pie chart shows the volume of openly released items by license. And Douglas would also like to praise Museums Victoria for its excellent communication of open GLAM online. Not sure if you can read that, but it says, in plain language, can I reuse this image without permission? There's clear attribution information. The conditions of use are on the page, which Douglas has said, it's a rear bird. Pardon intended. Direct links to the CC license information. Clarity on licensing for text and image content. And finally, when you dig into the right section, they have a statement. We support the open release of data and information about our collections, which links to the open definition. Bravo. To illustrate the other end of the open access scope spectrum, let's take a look at the some eligible data at London's Victoria and Albert Museum. So as the chart shows, the V&A has released only a tiny proportion of its eligible data on open access terms under CCBY, which was done via the Europaana fashion project, and not even on the V&A's own platform. The V&A policy and practice asserts copyright and its digital surrogates of public domain works. And in this example, we looked at objects made before 1890. That's a lot of images that have copyright on them that should be in the public domain. So this is what a user sees on the V&A Search the Collections website when they want to download an image, which is of a public domain in this case. The restrictions are extensive. So it's non-commercial use only, maximum 4,000 copies of five years digital use, maximum A5 print, 768 pixel digital use, requirement for image attribution, which has to say copyright, Victoria and Albert Museum London, and mandatory consent to terms and conditions that are almost 4,000 words in length. So there's a significant difference between this organization and Museum's Victoria. Judging by the survey research, communicating open access effectively and consistently is challenging for many GLAMs. Given the complexity of copyright and licensing, this is perhaps not so surprising. The survey's online policy field links to the most relevant rights policy in terms of use available for each institution. We have found that GLAM terms of use and copyright statements are often generic, conflicting, lacking in relevant detail and subject to change. Do not expressly disclaim copyright. Inconsistence across web platforms, for example the GLAM's own website, third party aggregators, Flickr Commons, Google Arts and Culture. Accurate and consistent communication of copyright policy is a clear opportunity for GLAMs to do better. Douglas says GLAMs should consider getting your ducks in a row. It's also not uncommon to see examples of TLDR, too long, didn't read, terms of use. And as you can see here, sometimes even those terms of use are literally unreadable. This is a real life example from a Greek institution. Literally just question marks. For positive examples of good practice and a comparative analysis of how GLAMs practice open access online, here are two recommended articles. One, Communicating Use and Reuse in the Digital Collection Interface by Earl Cully Fitzpatrick. And one by Douglas, The Great Wave, why Hokusai's masterpiece tells us about museums copyright and online collections today. So when we consider the tens of thousands of museums that exist around the world, fewer than a thousand recorded instances of open GLAM seems modest. Open access is currently the exception and not the norm. It seems there's a cocktail of structural factors, financial, legal, political, strategic. These all restrain the growth of open access in the GLAM sector. And there's also a strain of active opposition to open access. Let's call this an open GLAM. So this is an open GLAM true story of what happened to Douglas recently when he asked a GLAM for permission to use a copyright-expired image. So this recent press release from the French Culture Workers Trade Union, CGT, is a timely reminder. Under the false pretext of opening to all the freedom of access to the images, it is in fact an organized plunder of the images of a patrimony for purely private and commercial uses that will be put in place. In this case, open access to cultural heritage is perceived as enabling cultural pillage and bound up with the apparent deregulation agenda of tech giants like Google. As a result of the survey, we can better understand the global landscape of open GLAM. We now have accurate data on open GLAM's geographic distribution as disparities of scale and scope in its licensing practice. Knowing which organizations have invested in open GLAM, even those with minor instances, encourages studies on the impact of open GLAM. In fact, one could say that open access practiced by small institutions is actually more significant and relatable than that of major Western museums. Douglas and Andrea's work on the open GLAM survey combined with a growing body of high quality literature and practice ensures for our sector a greater chance of mainstream adoption of open GLAM values on a global stage. So let's continue this journey together. Thank you.


Welcome back. You're watching Tao Thursday with Ilchipu Call on Brain Education TV. In the last episode, I talked in detail about how to accept pain. If you haven't watched it, please check it out. Today, I will share with you how to do the meditation so that you can truly accept that pain existing inside of you. For that, first, I would like you to know two things. So one is your action and your words want to be matching at the same time. So you don't go off the tangent in your thoughts. And also what you are doing is not disconnected from what you are thinking about. Number two, know that healing comes from inside. So you have the natural healing power existing inside of you. You can heal. That mindset is truly important. So now I want you to straighten your spine, close your eyes, feel your breath. Now I want you to observe your body and see where you feel chronic pain or usually feel discomfort in your physical body. Perhaps you are familiar with it and when you feel those pain, you may do something else or you may pay attention to something else. But today we will focus, continue to keep focusing on those pain existing inside. So I want you to choose one location where you feel most pain often. Do you know that place? And now those places inside of you, you may feel, may be connected to different activity or things that you experienced before. Just allow yourself to recall that time that you felt pain in your body. People who are involved or perhaps just yourself, but the situations you are in too. Now breathing in and out. Now you can open your eyes now.  So once again, please close your eyes and tell yourself, health is a natural state of my being. I can heal myself. Pain is not my identity. Pain is not permanent. I have the greatest system inside of me to heal myself.  Now we'll begin this healing process through engaging in the energy by being in the present moment. Energy comes in three forms, light, sound, vibration. Today we will use sound and vibration. When we are speaking out, definitely that sound vibration will stimulate that part of your body with the focus and intention on that part where you've been feeling pain. Also, we will use this tapping method. Simply you are going to tap your body, specifically the place where you feel pain. So let's say that I am feeling pain right here in my third chakra area. So basically you can use any format, fingertip or making fist or palm, it's okay. So begin tapping your body please. So allow yourself as you are tapping to feel. A lot of times we focus on other things outside and may not be directly connecting to yourself or even the feel of it. At the beginning you may feel strange, try to sense this feeling. Breathe out, allow yourself to feel. So it can be vibration, just simply you may be feeling this vibration. And as you are tapping, you may have some thoughts too, you can observe. You may also feel some emotion too, you can observe. But at the same time you'll be intentional in your mind and how you can guide your brain to process it. And therefore you can process through your body. So say to yourself, now as you are tapping and feeling your body, I accept that I can heal myself. I accept that health is the natural state of my being. It's okay to feel pain. Pain is not me, pain is not my identity. Pain can be the blockage that I created by holding onto the blocked energy inside. Pain is my guide. Thank you pain for allowing me to know where I need to focus to heal. It's okay to feel pain. My body is my textbook. Pain is my guide. As you are saying this, please mean it. Move your body, tap and feel.  You want to make this thought into the feeling which can move energy. Thoughts will create stagnant energy if it is not helping you to be positive or if it's not the truth. Allow yourself to be honest by feeling and continue to focus on what is the truth inside of you. Now by now as you are tapping you may feel more pain that is coming up. You may be feeling more like this pain is coming to the surface. The more you feel, the more you are in touch with yourself. Your mind and body is connecting and uniting. In the moment that you stay, which is present moment, only in that present moment you can experience healing. Stay in this present moment to feel. And breathing out, exhale. Continue to focus inward by feeling what is happening where you are tapping. Now slowly stop and breathing out. And now please bring your hands in front of the place where you are tapping.  You may feel hot or you may feel cold sensation depending on what you are experiencing or what you have held inside of your body. Now energy is moving, breathing in and breathing out. Inhale and exhale. Again breathing in and breathing out. Now I want you to feel the sensation of your physical body. Do you feel you are disliking the pain? Do you feel your body become worse or do you feel lighter? Do you feel the movement of energy inside of you? Now can you ask yourself if you are disliking the part of your body or you can say I accept the part of my body that I felt pain? So say to yourself now how you feel inside of your body. Perhaps along those lines of I accept pain. It's okay for me to feel pain. Thank you for being my guide to know where I need to focus and send love. Now I want you to bring your focus and attention to send that energy or love to that part of your body. Thank you for being patient. You can say to your body. Thank you for being patient with me. Although I didn't pay attention to you a lot of times. I'm sorry that I ignored you before. Now I am here and now. I am sending you my love. I love you my body. Now slowly release your hands. Now breathing in and out. Now please open your eyes. How do you feel inside of your body? Some of you may feel I have more pain coming up but at the same time you may be accepting that pain as it is existing right here. And please know that this is the beginning of your healing journey. Even if you may feel the pain in the future you are able to move through the pain and on the other side you will find love and healing existing inside of you. I hope that this meditation helped you to accept your pain. Thank you for watching Tao Thursday with Ilchebooko on Brain Education TV. Next episode is forgiving the unforgivable. Please stay tuned. Thank you. See you soon.


You cannot necessarily force a politician to have a news conference, but a politician, of course, does repeatedly have to provide information to voters, provide information to constituents, they have to speak to lawmakers. So I think the first step one would do would be to fact check the statements they make in those, in those, in that spear. And secondly, you have politicians will often make promises. You can begin to catalog what those promises are and whether they have begun to fulfill those promises. It's known as, in the fact checking trade, it's known as promise checking. So again, those are things you begin to vet and rate the accuracy of statements they make to key constituents, to lawmakers, whether or not they are fulfilling the promises they have made. And I think from there you build a baseline that might require a politician to actually begin to answer questions. Because if you were able to document, for instance, that they are not fulfilling their promises, they might feel a need to explain themselves.


What's up everybody, Jason here for jasperjaysrace.com. We just sold out Jasper's eight box museum black bow and chrome mixer picker team number two. And again guys, this is part of the promo. I already put the list in of your guys' names, part of the promo, so just to quickly show you. From Matt down to Barry, if you look right here in the promo list, Barry to Matt. Break number four guys, we gotta get 20 of these breaks done. Not specifically these, this break, but just 20 mixers. Remember, the last mixer will count as three entries into the promo, and of course, all the mixers just count as one. So if you win a spot from a filler to get into the mixer you're in, but the losing spots in the filler will not be in. I guess we're gonna begin away these prizes. Up to $10,000 in giveaways guys, or over $10,000 in giveaways. So this features two boxes of museum collection 2023, which I have right there. Double checking them this time. Four boxes of chopped chrome black, which I have right here, and then two boxes of bone chrome hobby. And here are the customer names. We got stuck at the last two and Luis saved us guys. We got the Padres and the Mariners. So hopefully he gets rewarded right there, as well as everybody else that got in. It's just, I didn't think it was gonna happen. We got stuck there for a little bit, but we got it done. All right, we'll start with this product here, which is 2021 tops chrome black. All right, so we got a Lou Bob, Hissue Sanchez, and then we got a purple looks like. And look at that Jake Cronenworth, last spot mojo. That's a rookie right there. 124 out of 150. All right, then we got for the Yankees, it is Debbie Garcia. Yankees, go ahead and Matt. Next one here guys. I don't know where I'm just coming on. It's a rookie, Casey Mies rookie, and a little Miguel. I love how they incorporate the solid color there at the corner, it's freaking awesome. Toss Chrome Black, I supposed to be releasing in the next week or two as well. Six out of 25 for Detroit. And the in case card, it's a Atlanta. Wow, look at that. Freddie Freeman for the Braves. Dustin, 23 out of 99. Very nice hit there. Kristin Yellich, Shane Beaver, and we got Lucas Gialito, 299. And then a gold, Andres Jimenez to 50. Guardians going to Barry Roberts. All right, we got a Joivato, Kristen Pashé rookie, and then we got a Shane McCallahan out of 99. All right, here we go. Last hit of Toss Chrome Black. St. Louis Cardinals. And nice is Dylan Carlson, who was also a pretty big rookie in this draft class. St. Louis Cardinals, going to Luis. There you go, man. All right, so, what a bad couple of autos there. That Freddie Freeman was pretty sweet. Heavy, Croninworth rookie there. All right, sweet. Let me grab some more regulars because we're going to need some regulars here. All right, now let's go to Bowman Crone. We'll save museum collection for last. Cubs are acts, unfortunately. No, just a Yankee, Brace, Freddie Freeman, Jimenez, and then Dylan Carlson. Cardinals though, your favorite team. All right, here we go, guys. Paul McIntosh from Miami. Marlin's going to Dustin. And we got a Jacob Reimer to 150. Offered Nuno. So let's leave up all those top international prospects. This dude, this dude. Oh, I have no idea, dude. I don't remember, to be honest. I don't remember actually, not trying to think about it. Michael Garcia to 499. And then Colado for the Guardians, by the Barry Roberts. Shimmer there of Nelson Marava. And we got an Anthony Gutierrez. Five out of five. How about that for the Texas Rangers? Going to SKS. And a case hit, Ezekiel Tovar. There you go. And a little Ethan Salas there. One point, these are like 25 bucks, I believe. I don't know what they are now, but definitely something that's on the top of it. And yeah, pretty much everything was from a case. Yeah, I think so. I'm sure the Bowman Crone was too. But I know for sure the museum and the popcorn block were. And Victor Isturus, that Cesar Isturus is a, I think nephew, I wanna say. There's another Ethan Salas. We got Emmanuel Bonilla. Nice one there. He's like 16 years old. Out of 299. And we got a Luis Guanipa. Nice, he actually sells extremely well. Braves Dustin out of 125. And we got a Jonathan Henriquez for the Mets. Mets of Stephen Flatt. Suscava. Jackson Shereo. To 189. And we got a Kevin Yiru. I'm on there for the brave, oh sorry Milwaukee Boers. I thought we looked it up and he wasn't, but I mean, I don't know, he's like 16. It just says that he is a number four in the prospects of Baseball America's 2023 International Bonus Board. Rank seventh in the class by MLB.com. This says, trained in the Dominican Republic with Yisbel Medina as an amateur, hails from the same city as Juan Soto, Gary Sanchez, and a dozen other big leaders. I'd assume if he was affiliated with Bobby, they would've put it up there. Cause yes, this dude, I think they actually say it in the back. His uncle is Cesar's tourist. He played for the Dodgers for a little bit. So I'd assume they would've used that fun fact if they can prove that he was related. All right, two boxes of museum collection guys. I believe we hit the frame already, but we're still looking for jumbo patch autographs and stuff like that. So, I mean, the frame wasn't the biggest player either. I think, what was the framing at? I think it was the open deck. I don't know where it was. Oh no, I think it was like Tom Blabber or something. Mookie bets. But yeah, I'm expecting there still to be some nice stuff in this case. Mookie to 150. And Louisa Ryce to start us off for the Marlins to 2.99. Marlins, run a Dustin. It'd be a great time to hit an El Tani right now. All right, we got Gunner, I think that's Gunner. Alec Thomas to 20, nice three-color patch. Arizona Diamondbacks, run a Matt. All right, we got for the Nationals, Randy Johnson, even though it's exposition goes to the Nationals. And we got Todd Helton. Nice, momentous material. Three-color patch to 15. Rocky's Matt Arnold. So that's exactly who you were looking for, Matt. Some Todd Helton. And we got Andrew McCutcheon. I don't know, but I don't think it makes it go, I don't think it loses its value.  So probably, I assume it doesn't hurt it. But I will say that I think his Dodger Edition first cards are gonna go for a, geez, not somebody. They're gonna go for a lot. I mean, now you can link El Tani with multiple superstars, Hall of Famers with Dodger stuff, you know what I mean? Shit. I mean, now he's part of, now he's a Dodger, right? You know, obviously still gets to be played, but now you can have like really cool, dual, triple autographs.  Now you can link them to a lot of great players in Dodger's history. But I can't give you a number, Valley Man. I have no idea. 2023, 2024 El Tani cards though. And Dodger's ink, Dodger blue, gonna go for a lot of money. Okay, there you go, Matt, all right. Rockies have some rookie stuff, but I'm sure that stuff is what people like about the Rockies checklists too. Little Todd Helton. All right, here we go guys, last box. All right, Jose Ramirez, Corbin Carroll, Nolan Gorman. And we got a Josh Young, 1099 for the Rangers, let's guess. Corbin Carroll, baby. All right, this is gonna be the on-car. And it's John Smoltz, 2099 for the Braves. All right, two more hits guys. Andres Jimenez. So we got a red coming up. Meaningful materials. It is MJ Melendez, four out of 10. Let's get a number one Rangers hitter, John Smoltz. Is that all right? Our last one here should be the catch autograph. Or yeah, Dalton Varshow for the Blue Jays, not a 199. All righty guys, well again, it is kind of a tough to hit in a break like this. That's all she wrote, but for the customers that did your hits, congrats guys. Again, you will still get that promo spot for the mixer madness, but like I said, eight boxes. Some boxes only have one auto, so. Appreciate it guys, thank you. That was the Museum Black Bowling Chrome Mixer.


Hello, everybody. Andrea Mayesca here with dental tutoring. So I wanted to talk to you guys a little bit about if you are stuck in a rut and you need something new to study, if there's a certain topic, topic that you want to study more of, if you just simply have a question and think, oh, I wonder what Andrea thinks about this, or what can I do about this situation? Well, whether you're working in the office or a student still in school, if you just simply have questions, well, I've probably talked about it before on my channel. I've had my YouTube channel, not forever, actually. I'd say only the past couple years. I've been tutoring now for almost 14 years, but YouTube became popular. I don't even know how long ago, but I didn't quite jump on that bandwagon until about two years ago, maybe three years ago now. But now I'm doing a YouTube video at least once a week, if not more. If I have students email me with questions, sometimes I find it just easier to do a whole video on it, because if everybody has the same question, it just makes sense to talk about it, right? Plus, I want patients at some point to be able to do a search for, I have gingivitis. What do I do? I have perio. What do I do? So I've been making videos also for patients so that I'm not talking in our technical language all the time. But having all of that said, I want you guys to have a look at my YouTube channel and do a search for something that you need help with. So let me just share my screen here, and I'll just kind of show you guys what I mean. So if you guys go to my YouTube channel, so it's youtube.com slash user slash dental L. Okay, so that's it, and then you will see everything right there. So as an example, so I just kind of popped up the first video that came up, probably because I just did this one June the 27th, so it's still pretty new.   So if you guys do a search, so let's say you had a question on medical emergencies. So you guys can type in medical emergencies, and then any videos will pop up. Okay, so let's just say, oh, well this isn't really a medical emergencies video. So you know what, clearly I had to do a video on medical emergencies because I'm gonna make a note of that because I don't have one on there for the public. Now I do tutor my students every week, so I know I have some medical emergencies in a private link for them.  So if they have a medical emergencies video, I'm pretty sure. I think they have at least two or three. But if you do a search in my channel, they will show you, all of the searches will show you all of the public ones that I have. So let's just do a search for dental hygiene. And then, so you just have to do a search here, and then all of the keywords for dental hygiene will pop up. So loops is a good example. I had a lot of questions from people asking about the kind of loops that I like. I've had about three different pairs of loops in the past, some I loved and some I hated. So I did do a video on that. So if you just click that, then you can watch. I do try to keep the videos short and sweet, so not too long. And then another good example, as I can see on the right hand side here, is where I talked about perio. So if you guys have questions about perio, the different case types. In fact, I have another video here as you guys can see where I talk about all of the different types of pockets. So a lot of the videos are for your knowledge as a student or as a dental hygienist or as a dental assistant, but also how to explain things to your patients. Because especially as a new dental professional, you might not know how to explain to a patient that they're about to lose all of their teeth and they need to get this, you know, worked on, right? So I do talk a lot about that as well. Another one, I talked about learning the tooth surfaces. So that's more so for the dental hygiene student and the dental assisting student who are just starting school. But I have literally talked about almost everything, you know, I've talked about the good, the bad, the ugly. If we look at this title here, so why dental hygiene school sucks. But here's how you can push through it. So I even talked about that. And this one's even from 2016. So I've been doing videos now for a while. Actually, I remember that this was one of the first videos that I've done, the mock exam questions for dental hygiene and dental assisting students for the exam, because I was in Ottawa at the time studying for restorative hygiene. So this was in 2015. Yeah. So I've been doing it now for about three years. So and this one has over 10,000 people who have looked at it. Wow. That's a that's a lot of people, right? But anyways, guys, so I just kind of wanted to show you what you can do to look at everything because I've talked about almost everything so far. But if you guys are looking for a video that's not on here, let me know and then I will talk about it because I'm always looking for some ideas because I do do videos every week and the videos are dependent on what people ask me. The types of questions people ask me if they need help with something, then I talk about it. I've talked about things from me being in school and having horrible teachers. I talked about how I had to take the dental hygiene program twice. So I've talked about everything and make sure to hit subscribe as well. So then that way, every time I do upload a video, which is at least once a week, you will know. So yeah, you guys, so I hope you guys keep on watching. Thank you so much. And again, that's youtube.com, user slash a dental L. And if you guys need anything, please just always let me know. And thank you guys for watching and I will see you very soon.


We filed the actual petition. They brought it in. We're in a, I said filed, but technically even though it's filed we have to look through it. We have to make sure that all the signatures are verified. They are registered voters and then we'll send it up to the judge's office and it will be up to him whether or not he actually makes an order to have it put on the ballot in November. The question will be whether the people are for or against the sale of alcohol in Alcorn City.


Widowhood in most Nigerian societies has been characterized by numerous challenges such as abandoned abandonment by in-laws to raise children, social exclusion, economic hardship, violence, violation of the rights and survival of the foetas in communities. This challenge has a multifaceted effect on that most often prevents many women to fulfill their dreams and maximize their potential to reach the peak of their careers. On this in this report plus TV news correspondent Habilah Dorofai finds out how 66-year-old Katharine Dunia survived the urge of Widowhood after 30 years demise of her husband. Katharine has survived the challenges characterized by Widowhood for 30 years. Her late husband Barista Bithrus Dunia who was a member of the Kagi State House of Assembly between 1979 and 81 died in 1993 following wrong prescription and administration of drug. Against all odds however she overcame Widowhood through resilience commitment by walking very hard in farms to raise five children of tender age all by herself despite pressure to remarry for comfortability as a young widow.

Maturity is realizing that propaganda isn't something that only happens to other people. I've been doing a lot of commentary on the Western propaganda campaign against China lately, so my online notifications have been full of brainwashed human livestock regurgitating all the lines they've been programmed to bleed about that nation by the very propaganda campaign I'm criticizing. What I find interesting is that it's not just coming from complete mainstream normies. A lot of the pushback I'm getting comes from people who've succeeded in seeing through other Western propaganda narratives on fronts like Russia, Syria, or Julian Assange. They're just as brainwashed about China as any uncritical consumer of TV news, but because they get their information from people like Tucker Carlson and other so-called right populists who have disputed those other narratives, they assume they are safe from mass media indoctrination. And a liberal who gets their information from the New York Times will look over at the Tucker Carlson viewer and tut-tut about Fox News propaganda, then go back to reading a fear-mongering article about how the Kremlin is militarizing Russian society. And both the Tucker Carlson viewer and the New York Times reader will look at nations like China and North Korea and shake their heads about how propagandized the people who live there are. Western mass media consumers are no less propagandized than North Koreans or any of the other nations we are told to pity because their government indoctrinates them with state media. In fact, they are arguably more propagandized, which is why Noam Chomsky said that any dictator would admire the uniformity and obedience of the U.S. media. The way the public is manipulated into consenting to all the agendas of the powerful without their even knowing that they are being propagandized has arguably been the most astonishing feat of social engineering anywhere in the world. Yesterday I was listening to a podcast by commentator Carl Xia on the mistranslations and propaganda distortion the western media have been engaging in regarding the Chinese tennis player Peng Shui. And he began to talk about a point that I've been noticing lately. The Chinese government is actually very bad at perception management. I can't speak to how effective it is domestically, but when it comes to spinning controversies on the world stage, Chinese state media comes across as incredibly incompetent and ham-fisted compared to the skillful manipulations of western spin-meisters. I'm 100% certain that I could do a much better job running CGTN than its current operators if that was the sort of gig I was interested in. That's how bad it is. People have told me that China's ineptness at propaganda has to do with where it has historically placed its priorities with its cultural disdain for the use of eloquent words as a substitute for action and with the fact that a government who is free to use more authoritarian force doesn't need as much skill at manufacturing consent because consent is not as important. Whatever the reason, the fact that it's so far behind the west on that front shows how sophisticated the science of modern western propaganda has become. That's what we're all dealing with here as we try to figure out what's going on in our world. More than a century of progress in the science of mass-scale psychological manipulation. It's important to be aware of how advanced western propaganda has become because propaganda only works if you're not aware it's happening. As soon as you're aware that someone is trying to manipulate you, all your critical faculties become engaged and all the information you're presented with is intensely scrutinized at arm's length. But if you don't know you're being manipulated, it slides right past our cognitive guard dogs unchecked. A big part of coming into true maturity as an individual is understanding on a deep visceral level that propaganda isn't something that only happens to other people. It doesn't only happen in nations we're all told are backwards and totalitarian. It doesn't only happen to people on the other side of the political spectrum. It happens everywhere, including right where we're standing. Every issue about which public perception is of interest to the powerful is being manipulated by the powerful. Eastern and Western, left and right, mainstream media and alternative media. There's perception manipulation happening everywhere. The best we can do in such a situation is refine our skillset at making sense of the world by continuing to learn, by watching the patterns and noticing the plot holes and discrepancies and where they're appearing, by building up sources of information which tend to be more reliable on important issues than others, and by continually doing inner work on ourselves to remove the distortions in our own cognitive processes. If we can manage to do that, we'll still be marinating in the propaganda narratives of the powerful all the time, but at least we'll have some idea which way is up and we'll begin to perceive which direction humanity must begin heading if we're to become a species that is guided by the light of truth.


How do you exhaust an emotion? You exhaust an emotion by staying in it too long. All emotions have a shelf life. Emotions are like tunnels. They have a beginning, and they have a middle, and they have an end. When you get stuck in the middle of an emotion and stay there too long, like staying in fear, or anxiety, or staying in anger, or upset, or staying in worry, or despair, or heartache, when you stay in an emotion too long, it's like you get trapped inside a tunnel, and you don't come out through the end in the speed with which we should do that. And there's all kinds of reasons why we park up in an emotion, but that's how you exhaust an emotion.


Mariah Carey, sort of. Hi, I'm Jenna Falk with Cal TV Entertainment, and I'm here today with Dr. Candace Johnson. Dr. Johnson is a vocal instructor who specializes in classical vocal works of African-American composers and just put on a one-woman show embellishing on her journey through finding her voice and the intersectionality of music and race. So what puts over here in the classical? What puts over here in the gospel? And I'm singing. I'm singing. Enjoying it, I didn't want to give up either one. So what inspired you to put on Vox in a box? The performance is really an extension of my experiences, my teaching, and my being a student of life. My experiences to the present. That's what shaped me, and then I was able to shape the performance. What do you want the viewers to take away from your performance? So I think of the voice as a metaphor for any mode of expression that we have that we feel is boxed in, but I wanted everyone to not only think of going outside of the box with their verbal or singing voice, but maybe it's an artistic voice, maybe it's an intellectual voice, maybe it's a political voice, but that we all have this place that we need to break out of and let the world hear what we have to say. And just some Broadway, and just some pop. Why can't I? Who said I couldn't? I know we haven't discussed Mariah Carey at all, I heard your rendition of her in your box-to-box performance, I'd like to hear a little impersonation if you don't mind. Alright, this will be Mariah Carey. She's always...


Apple Red Legal Aid, a non-profit law firm, is working to address legal needs in eastern Kentucky and they are asking for the community's input. Following a survey of their 37 service counties, Apple Red is hosting two focus groups on March 6th to determine where they can best assist in the area. Every few years we take sort of the pulse of the community to try to determine what the legal needs are for the area and during the past few months we've had a number of community partners and low-income people from all walks of life to fill out these surveys and that was the first part of our needs assessment but now we're about to take it just a little bit deeper and say we want to have some focus groups that are targeted to some specific questions that we have about some of the survey questions that we have to get a little deeper understanding. At Audiology Associates of Prestonsburg you can live your life the way you want and find the freedom of better hearing. With 40 years of being in the hearing care industry you'll experience patient care that is specific to you with exceptional follow-up care that ensures your hearing and balance needs are being met. Audiology Associates at 1428 Northlake Drive in Prestonsburg. The groups will be held via Zoom at 12 p.m. and 5 p.m. Wednesday, March 6th and will last around 45 minutes. I think with the focus groups what we want to do is like I said we want to take a deeper dive but it's also important to hear people's lived experiences firsthand and you just can't get that from a survey. And so we'll have these sessions we're going to be talking about different questions such as what kind of problems or issues do our focus group participants see that they are either having or others in their community are having that may be impacting their quality of life. We have other things that questions that we want to delve into like what are some other resources in the community that address issues that may be impacting people and what makes it what makes it hard for people to access those services if there's already a resource that exists including legal aid and then if there's anything that we should be doing differently or others in the community should be different doing differently to address those problems.

So we're here at Tor Dex and you have a robot balancing robot. Hello. Hey, yeah. Hey, this is ArmTech on 2016 here. And this is our talk, what we call our little balancing robot. What we showcase here is actually the new IMX7 processor from NXP. And it's a heterogeneous multicore processor with a dual core Cortex-A7 that runs the Linux with a QT user interface. And also, you have a second heterogeneous core, which is a M4 that runs your balancing and real-time OS. So M4 does the balancing. Exactly. And the other stuff runs in UI here. Exactly, runs the UI. And the really cool stuff is if we actually boot the system up, what you will see is, right now it's all off. It's not balancing. When I turn it on, the first thing is the microcontroller starts. It immediately starts balancing. But you can see Linux is still booting. So here you can really see that heterogeneous approach with free RTOS running the control and motion algorithms for the motors. And then a normal Linux with QT on top of it that runs the user interface. Is there any sensor? Can it fall off the table? No, basically what it does, it balances. So it has angle sensors and decelerometers. But that's pretty much it. Another cool thing, once it's ready, you can actually use that little controller and play with him. You can make him move forward. And he shows little expressions. Sometimes he gets uncomfortable if you put him out of bounds. But he seems pretty happy right now. So yeah, it's our sum based on the IMX7 from NXP, which we showcase here with the heterogeneous multi-core architecture. So you've been partnered with a free-scale NXP for a long time, right? Exactly. We work closely with NXP. We also got the early access on the IMX7. That means we had our products ready when they also launched their SOC. Why did they give you early access? So typically they pick one or two companies to work with. Actually here it was, I think, almost five companies that they work with. And you want to be sure that you have your product ready for sale, that customers can order it, and they get support from their partners when they actually launch their own chips, officially launched. Is it because you're one of the best custom PCB support developing company? I think Toradex is well-known for their products being available online. So you can really just go online and order them. And also we really focus on customer support. So we basically support a lot of voices right outside, basically, from our development. And customer can really just work with Toradex and get all their basically development needs. Let's go over here. I have another cool demo. What's actually what we have here, this is a little automotive cluster. We're running on IMX6. This is our PolySIMX6 module. And what we showcase here is actually a very optimized system that we built to kind of really showcase the excellence we put into our BSP development. And this is a project we did together with QT. So if I actually completely power off that system and then make a cold boot, what you can see, this is starting up your car dashboard in less than one second. This is a full Linux OS, optimized for fast boot and running QT on top of it. You can see, it's really we optimized the whole boot process. Basically, you compress your image and really we use an EMMC that's really optimized for fast loading. And then also QT did their secret sauce to it and really optimized their libraries and the application on top of it. But it's full 3D support. So you have 3D graphics with shaders and this is a full application loaded in less than one second. Because you don't wanna wait 10 seconds when you start your car until you see how fast you're driving. So let's go over another cool demo we have this year here. This is our 4K video demo based on the NVIDIA Tegra K1. So that's our PolySIMX6 module, the little bit bigger form factor we have. It's an NVIDIA TK1. This is a quad core A15 with 192 CUDA cores and built-in 4K video decoder. As you can see, the system runs completely fanless. So this is a power optimized, high performance industrial computing platform. All right. So pretty cool about what we have. You have prices starting at 24. Are you like selling solutions that ship in big quantities? Exactly. So Toradex, our ideal volumes, our customer are buying is anywhere from one all the way up to 50K. That's where we wanna use a sum. And some of the lower end product can even push up to 100K per year. But really, Toradex is well known to public pricing, so you can go on our website, www.toradex.com. You'll find prices all the way up into quantities 1K. If you need more than 1K, contact us and we'll give you a custom quote on your project. So finally, what we have here today is actually, a lot of our customers actually built custom carry board. While we have big evaluation boards where we provide all the reference designs for free, a lot of customers at the end of the day go in and customize their boards. If you don't have the expertise to actually build your own custom board, we work with partner companies such as, for instance, Diamond Systems. What they have done is they used our palace module. This is our standard IMX6, a palace module, and then they built an industrial custom carry board around it. So pretty cool. If you need something a little bit more to your touch, if you have special interfaces you wanna use, go to tortex.com. Check out the partner section and you can find a lot of companies that do service and customized hardware around Tortex products. Where are the partners based? It's all around the world. So you can basically, Diamond Systems in particular is here in the US. They're down in the Bay Area, but you'll find partners all around the world in Asia. We have partners over in Europe where our headquarters are. For us, the key is really that our customer can work with a company or a partner close to where they have their development going on. That's right, we're out of Switzerland. Who wants to say from Seattle, what is that? So because we have direct sales for all our products, we actually have offices all around the world. So for the US, for North America, we're based out of Seattle. So we have a team of sales and FAs and marketing people who work out of Seattle. Then in Switzerland, we cover all Europe and in Asia we have office locations in India, in Shanghai and in Japan. And so this way, we can be close to our customer. For South America, we just recently opened our office in Brazil, which has been exciting for us. Cool, and here. That's an older demo, which we have, as you see here, this is an older Tegra II, basically another demo where we really want to highlight our fast boots, completely powered off. If you power that system up, this is actually loading a complete Windows CE system, Windows Amanda Compact in less than 500 milliseconds. That's a demo we did years back for an automotive customer. Right, exactly.  An early demo of our real expertise we put into the BSPs, really showing how we optimize our products for fast booting applications. And this is what's going here. That's also another demo based on the TK-1, so NVIDIA Tegra K1. This is really highlighting another very optimized version of QT. And that's actually from other partners, a service partner who worked with KDAB. Basically, it's just showcasing very nice rendered graphics, all real-time full HD on a nice touchscreen. This could be an application, for instance, for inspection. If you bring in the cars to service, your tech guys can basically inspect the car so they can go in and see, you know, basically where is my engine. They can go in and really check where are my components in the car. So just a little demo to showcase the performance of our products. Cool, and the future of Taradex, is it gonna be lots of stuff? Exactly, we always work with our SOC vendors to hopefully build and take up their latest SOCs. So we're working with NXP and NVIDIA to take on their latest products and bring them on system on modules. This is the only way that a customer can quickly put their hands on the latest technology and actually try it out and build their products.


For the rest of my life, at every down moment, I will seek to remember this beautiful woman and I hope you will too." Comes from a small village in South China, Anjou said she would never believe she could up on that stage. I was so surprised, it seems like a dream to me. Along with Brittle Bond disease and dwarfism, Anjou Zhao Chunli spent years of her life isolated and unable to attend school. Fourteen years ago, when President Bill Clinton first came to South China and visited her home, Anjou was hidden up in the cabinets by a neighborhood because of the embarrassment of her disability. After pressing Clinton's visit, Chris Barkley, one of the Clinton's interpreters, came back to Anjou's village only to learn the story of this girl. He helped her with the English and gave her a job. Her story of gaining independence as a disabled person inspired a lot of people. She was invited to her Canada Clinton Global Initiative annual meeting and finally got to meet President Clinton. She's no longer the girl being hidden up in the cabinets fourteen years ago. She refused to be a victim and instead became her country's most prominent advocate for disability rights. Anjou now has full identities. The receptionist of the Hoteau Yangshuo Mountain Retreat, the advocate for United Nations education for all movements, a wife and the mom of an adopted child. Anjou now has a lot of fans, more than her expectations, and you know who's the person she's planning to meet? It's President Barack Obama. She's pretty excited about it now. We're putting from New York, I'm Lu Xiaqian.
