Right I'm here just to camp in this old woodland folly. It's pretty cool and I'm just going to spend the evening here. I'm in the Hillyburg Allac too so I'm going to pitch that up and cook up a little bit of food. Nothing too fancy and spend the night under the stars. There's a chill in the air but you can feel spring. You can feel it in there that you know the flowers that are shooting through the primrosees, daffodils and whatnot and you can see the little buds coming out on the trees. It's a lovely time of year, I love this time of year. So I think once I've got set up and I've got my tent up and everything I'm going to have a little forage and see what I can find. See if I can find some wild early spring edibles to put with me tea. Let's find a decent specimen. There's a good, there's a decent specimen look. Scarlet elf cup look. Lovely and these are edible, edible fungus. They don't look edible, they look a bit, you would think oh that's a warning but they are edible and I'll keep these to go along with the banquet. Nice little collection. I don't want to take too many. I've got a bit of my own food with me so I don't really need too much. They don't even be a waste. It's just for a bit of flavour and just to get some of that early spring vibes. And this for those of you that don't know and this is for people that just don't know. There's plenty of people who watch, sorry, I'll get better at that. There's plenty of people who watch who don't know about foraging and whatnot so this is for you guys. Everyone who knows about it apologies if it's just recycled information but it's the edge we're living. Cover me, cover me, barn it, yeah I focus on that instead of my grill. There you are. Primrose and the flower and the leaves everything of the plant is edible. I'm going to take some of the flowers and some of the small leaves. Again I don't want to take too much. I don't need it but it's a nice little addition. I'd quite like to find some ramsans if I can. Oh here we go, that leaves just as well while we're here. Come on face, why wouldn't it be kind and focus you. Anyway there you go, wood sorrel. It's a lovely lovely little leaf this. It's really cool when you eat it you don't really get anything in it. It builds up and it's a bit like, it's citrusy and it's a little bit like apple skin I think. So I have a bit of this in pocket, it's not a great deal of it. I found this fallen ash tree and ash is always a great host for these. King Alfred's cakes or cramp balls you might know them as a bushcraft staple but I've not had any of these in my fire lighting kit for some time so I find the ones underneath the tree to be a lot better because they're dead as a disgust. They're good, they're good ones. There you go.  If not I'll just leave them by the fire and add them to my kit or we'll get our morning fire going with them. We'll see. We'll get out a Jill Free card. Don't go out in my fire kit. I'll just use this. I'll have to put it in my pocket, dry it out. Right, the beauty of the Alak-2, the tent, the Hillyburg Alak-2 is that it's self-sanding so we can actually pitch it on this hard floor without having to use pegs because it's quite sheltered here and it's not forecast to be windy so let's give it one of them mate. Let's crotch shot it. Because if we're being honest it looks cool doesn't it? That does look cool in here. That is cool but I'm worried about it. I'm worried that it's tuned in. I've probably even got a couple of guy lines in just in case but I do worry about that. So you can pick it up like the Hillyburg but that's a bit better that way around. Shall I tell you my problem of worry is that my fireplace is there. I'm worried that it's going to spit at me a tent and that would suck. I've totally bottled it mate. Tee hee hee bottled it. I've bottled it. The tent was too close to the fire and if I get an hole in this mate I'll be absolutely devastated. Right let's have a quick look round the setup for all you setup fans. I'm in the Hillyburg, it's the Alak2. Possibly the last trip I'll have in it we'll have to see how things pan out. Look at that beautiful loads of space. I've got it with the footprint there as well and then I've got my army softies ready for when it gets cold. X-Therm, NeoAir, Extra Large, AlpKit 400, Pipe Dream Down sleeping bag, C to Summit Pillow. I've got my sleeping bag liner in there as well. And that's it. Bit of water, not drinking today. It's a simple basic setup. I've got a little lantern in here that I put on when I get into bed just if I want to read or whatever. And that's it man. It's the same stuff but if you're new to the channel then these are the things I use. I've got an Amazon shop page that I've had for a while now and it's in the link below if you want to have a look. I just put stuff in there that I have, that I use, that I recommend. You can go and have a look in there, buy your stuff through that and I get a little bit of a kickback and it helps me out at no extra cost to you. So, happy days. Right, I've come away from camp to this clearing where I'm looking down into the valley and I'm just going to sit in my back against this tree and just see what comes, see if I can see any deer or owls or anything. Just take it all in, just do a little bit of nature spotting. I know it's already a fireplace but I still want to leave it as I found it and leave as little trace as possible so it's worth doing it properly. Right, I've got a little bit of birch bark in there, some bracken and what not but I'm going to see if one of these cramp balls takes the spark and see if we can get it going one of them. It's not seems pretty dry this one. I'm going to create a nest out of this bracken and you see that's on fire now so we don't have to worry about that. I can put it down there for a bit while I gather my thoughts. I might even gather my gloves. The good thing is that'll stay now. That'll just stay on fire down there smoldering away while I put some sticks on the outside so it keeps it all together. There you go, that's better. Just barkless. On the safe side.  There's butterflies, get out mate.  Oh, I've released it, yes. Don't fault me. Are you all right Giza? Oh mate, there must have been, oh no. So these lads must have been chilling in the chimney because they fell down. They fell down his mate. I saved his mate, his mate managed to fly away. Worse like what should I do with him? So, buzzing that his mate got away like. I'm going to go away to start again.  Come on mate, get on there. Get on here mate. Can I save you? Right, let's take him somewhere safe. Look at, look at, he's gone look. So camouflaged man. Right, let's take him over here. Where will he be safe do you think? Pop him in here look. Chill out. Oh he wants to come with me look. Oh no. Oh cool. Good advert for Illyberg that innit? The butterfly whisperer. Oh you're all right mate, I've got you. I've got you mate. He's walking with his wings up. What's going to happen is he's going to take off and I'm going to crack it. There he is look, butterfly whisperer. Right, come on then Giza, let's get you. I don't want you to get eaten mate, there he is. Right, come on little guy, let's put him over here. You're going to come with me, didn't you? You're part of squadron. Try not to touch his wings because it's not good for him.  There you go, stay there mate until you gather your thoughts. That's it. Camouflaged AF, there he goes. Right hopefully he'll just blend in here until he feels up to it and then he'll make a move. See you later mate, good luck. It's made me happy that. Patrick saved three butterfly, three peacock butterflies saved. There you go, that's happy, happy times.  You can have the butterflies mate but you can't cook your dinner. I need the butterfly I guess. You don't want to use too much roder dendron wood if you can help it because the smoking of a clever fire so we've switched it up. The main logs and the main girth of it I won't be using road is old faithful. I'm not splitting anything too big this time. I was thinking I wasn't going to split anything but this is ash. I'm almost sure it's ash. It's hard to tell when things aren't in leaf but I know me mountain ash and you can hear very seasoned. So I've just got old faithful, I'm just going to split a few little bits up.  I'll season it afterwards and then just put it on the coals. I'm not mucking about, I'm just having simple food today. Chuck some peppers on, broccoli. In fact I'll put the broccoli on after because that's not going to take too long is it? I'm doing me peppers, peppers and lamb. I've got that for a little rig, I've just took my grill into the pointing gap there. Suspended it so I smell good already. Here's my peppers done, can't see them because it's dark. Child peppers, my broccoli that's done nice and soft and warm and then oh look at that the piester. Nice mate, nice. That is a banquet, that looks tasty. Let you have a little look and then I'll just bat on because I'm hungry. I can't believe Bob has been blinded by this light. I can't believe I'm showing you broccoli. Ah, absolutely. It takes on a whole different flavour over the fire, it goes almost nutty. Pepper, oh my God juicy, look at the juice coming out. Very happy, there we go. Out she cooked, that's the question. Perfectly, thank you very much. I don't know if you can see. Nice and pink and then nice and caramelised on the outside. Pink they can see the juice dripping off it. It's cooked perfectly, nice and pink and then fully cooked on the other side. That is a good, that is good. Let's get into it, oh my goodness. Done, I've done. When I'm looking there you are. I can't quite, can you see the juice just coming out? Oh my word, so simple, gets so delicious. Really healthy as well, there's no oil, butter, no seasoning. We'll just put a little bit of salt on. Honestly dude, if you could smell that.  Right, I'm going to log off with this one because I'm going to enjoy it and that light is hampering my enjoyment by singeing me retinas. I'm just going to stare at Bushcraft TV for a couple of hours and then hit the hay. Totally in there look, I'm in there like Shinobi or Sub-Zero, Scorpion, Sub-Zero, no, Yorkshire Sub-Zero. Anyway, as you can see I've got the vents open on the tent because there's not much wind so just to air outside a caution so we don't get any condensation of just open the vents. There's so many options with this tent as far as, you know, with what you can do as far as the zips and how many zips there are and the different ways that you can ventilate the tent for all different seasons and temperatures. Anyway, that's interesting fact for you.  I've got my army softies on and my marina wool base layer. So warm as, so unless something magical or tragical happens I shall see thee on the morrow. Where am I? There I am. Ow, morning glamp, ow. Ah, morning glampers. Too bright this light mate, right. Slept well, toasty and warm, no mad noises or anything. And it's just at that stage now that, and I said it before, it's like a DJ with two records. He's got the night birds, the owls and everything like that and then the day birds and he's just in the mix at the moment so you've got your owls and you've got your dawn chorus as well so it's pretty good. It's six o'clock, I've got work today so it's an early start. I'm not going to muck about, I'm going to get fire going, a little bit of breakfast on the go and then I'm going to maybe dunk my junk on the way out. We'll see, we'll see. I've got some hand warmers just in case. So that means get up if you know you know. Let's get the tent tidied up, look, yeah. Let's get a fire going. There you go. I forgot to put that camera on. Hey, you didn't miss out. You didn't miss out, it was just, I just used a cotton wool ball, spark, boom. There's still a bit of residual heat in it from last night to be fair. Chop some more wood, split some. I'm going to cook up these scarlet elf cups. Just clean them off, you see, they have a stalk there. They're just growing all sorts of dead timber and bits and pieces, right? I'm going to clean them up. Can't tell you how nice that is. There you go. That's a landfill. The good thing about cooking oil is like, use it in there for cooking, isn't it? It's good just to rub on your blades and your handle keeps the rust off, keeps it looking good. So I'm going to go in with the elf cups. And these don't take long, pushing it when you're lambing them like that. I'm going to go in with a few of these. Just a bit of primrose, a bit of wood sorrel, a little crack of salt in there. Warm my bacon back up. Let's give it a go. I'm hungry, mate, hungry. Let's go in on the elf cup. Lovely, lovely texture. Wow, nice one. Oh my word. Simply delicious, really delicious. You can see the scarlet there. Thank you Mother Nature and the butchers. It's a beautiful morning. It's still not even seven o'clock. I get to do all this and then go to work. I feel fresh as a daisy. Wow, she's lovely. I stopped filming myself eating. Look at that, mate. Absolutely, what a breakfast.  Leave no trace. Thoroughly enjoyed that one. There's a couple of miles hike out to the truck. If I find a suitable body of water, I might be tempted, might be tempted to diva Jay. But let's have a look. It looks murky. You can't really see what's in there, but hopefully it's not too wacky. Let's get in. There's only one way to find out, isn't there? That's getting in. Got these though, waiting for me. There's nothing there, mate. It doesn't even look deep enough to plunge. Well, excuse all pudding there, lads, because I've had quite the Christmas, and I know we're in March now, but I'm still blaming it on Christmas. How long have I got till summer? Can I get hench? Can I get hench in a few weeks? Or what? What do you call them, mate? Undefeated? Yeah, bro. Invigorating. Yash. Tell you what, it's chilly on digits, but hand warmers, mate. That's just... That's a lottery win right there. Look at that, on digits. Beautiful. Lovely layer of frost, and the sun's hitting it, and it's melting, and there's steam, there's mist. It's just a beautiful morning. I feel great now. I feel absolutely great after a night in the woods and a dip, just ready for the day. So for the people that were asking, I've got a few more patches back in stock on the shop, the leave no trace patches, so if you'd like to get one and help support the channel, please do. Also, new this just in is a new combo, though. It's a mirror, the hairs on there, because and you get with it a badge. And the reason for this, I was trying to think of something that people could buy to help support the channel, but then it was that you could also use maybe when you're out and about, and this is perfect for if you're out solo camping, you get something in your eye, it's perfect for being able to see it, or thorns or ticks in unsightly areas that you can't see yourself, you can just take it out from wherever you can you can get to. It makes a good signal mirror, to have if you're in the mountains or whatever and it's a thin look and that slides now into my first aid kit and if you like to do your selfies on the top of the mountain what better thing to have than to get your hair done, get your makeup done and look fresh for all your fans on Myspace. I'll leave a link for this combo below the video so if you'd like to get one to help support the channel that would be much appreciated right I'll be back soon not sure when but I will be back soon take care of yourselves, look after each other but mainly yourself because how can you look after anyone else if you're not looking after yourself peace namaste much love you know what as well as I just walk this way I know that just there there's a river so I don't even know what I just plunged my plum in there so I can't get away with it this is a thing now isn't it love you bye


Good morning guys yeah gloomy day out here.   Is Alex here? Let's make it sure I didn't see him join yet Yeah, baby someone watched the watch list and made money off the watch list the MIC watch list pays for itself I cannot I mean dude people say they cannot afford MIC We put out watch list at one of those trades pays for your MIC membership We have that watch list every single day and that's what we trade off guys If you want alerts, that's the closest thing to alerts man. That's better than alert. We give you the mindset We give you the lines. We give you where to enter. We give you the reason to enter I don't know what else the only difference with the only thing that we're lacking is we're not there pushing the buttons for you So I don't understand what people are Failing to understand. I mean this is a lurch thing. I mean you're chasing stuff on the fly guys Okay, so let me let me do a real quick grant on the lurch The lurch what happens is this the guys are Alerting you is in the position well before they alert A lot of the times they're telling their friends before they tell you so it's a tear a hierarchy of who to tell So as a lurch What happens is they they tell their they load up first and then they tell their friends and then they tell you and Even though you're a paying member of the chat room you're last to know man Whereas a wash list that we put out this I hate using that term wash list because I would put the watch list as a bunch of tickers That's not what we do. We give you trading plans. So that's what we should call You know, so our watch list is actually a detailed trading plan We tell you where to enter what the mindset is and all that stuff this well before it comes This is beyond alerts. This is better than alerts We're giving you the alert before it alerts, right? So we're basically giving you the alert before that actually happens So everybody has a fair shot and making money So that's the thing that maybe we should promote Alex people want alerts. We have alerts actually man We have the better than alerts. We have a pre-alert Are what we call a watch list.  It's a detailed trading plan It is the pre-alert of the alert And the guys are in my CC that so I don't understand what I Really don't understand.  A lot of people have FOMO. They will enter a Position well before they should and they lose and they go all it sucks But the watch list says to enter here But then you enter 50 cents or too early. I don't understand So that's that's the problem The problem is a lot of people don't have the discipline and that's what they call FOMO fear missing out And that's what kills a lot of traders Chasing chasing FOMO. I don't want to miss out. I want to miss out which leads to the current cryptocurrency issue, okay? So that's why I asked today like what would get topping is and Everyone's asking about crypto dude Everybody's talking about crypto, but before I talk about crypto now you understand we do have alerts We have a better thing. We have a pre-alert, you know, we have the most fair alert you can possibly get a trading plan watch list They're awesome. Wait, I've been I've been trying to exercise.  It's better than alerts guys It's a pre-alert everyone has a fair shot of making money and traders are making money So who's in MIC right now raise your hand and say did you check? How good is the watch list daily? Just make a comment and then we'll continue from there because I want everybody to know You know this watch list is no joke guys. This is the stuff that we trade on and better than that We show you our trading charts. So you see we are actually trading real time without sheep without pumps Without needing anything and we screw up to we're human So it's not like we have perfect charts, but we still make money. I am I actually made I think I've only had two red days in the past three months knock on wood.     So we always say Trade people say trade what where what the market gives you? I say really trade what your process gives you if you want to make more money They to tomorrow you can size up a little bit on your process But do not deviate from your plan do not deviate from your process thinking You should make money Okay, so let's talk about topic real quick guys Topic is crypto or stocks. I Don't want to talk about crypto too much. The reason why is this guys? I've been trading pink stocks That's how I started training. I was the king of penny stocks I made my name and made my fortune off penny stocks and I did quite well They were all pump and dump.    They have no clue you imagine losing your life savings to a pump and dump scam That's what's going on right now in the crypto world.   I'm rich.  I congratulate you.       I made so much money off penny stocks.   It doesn't really impress me. I Just know that the moment paying stocks got regulated the moment the Wolf of Wall Street got caught My the whole industry died Paying stocks died. I had to transition into NASDAQ into You know large caps into small caps into outside of pink sheets So what I did was I knew I Educated myself on how to properly trade. I was the guy that was trading without pumps without sheep Okay, I knew how to trade So therefore this is why I am here today all the guys back in the pain stock days They think they're big shots all they would all they did was pumps and dumps most of them went to prison The others went bankrupt because I didn't know how to trade. I didn't know how to transition out into NASDAQ and here I am today. I am still doing the same thing. I've always done guys Helping people educating people making money for myself knock on wood. I'm still doing the same exact thing I've always done that's because I educated myself. I took out my money.  That's what you should do with crypto crypto is a scam Most cryptos are a scam.  You don't think they know I'll give you an example guys.   Think about that. That's a lot of money Two million dollars 15 years ago.    Big Shot making millions of dollars and then they all think that we're all scams because we trade stocks We're all scams, right? So they come and I will why did they knock on my door guys Why did you not pay taxes in California for four years?  I moved to New York prove it And so I had to go through all the paperwork to show that I pay taxes in New York City New York's a rape, too. So I was audited.  So what you know what they told me they told me this they go We have the IRS know exactly how much minimum you need to report Because we know you're not We know how much you got to pay every month.     I gave him a stack of cash. I Just have it happen to have a stack of twenty thousand cash, right?    All those guys are gone Who is left from the penny stock days guys?      You can never pump it up It'll sit there forever.          Illegal activity.  I think they always try To get money laundering for an illiterate for a drug dealer So you supposed to claim that you're selling drugs, so it's kind of like that is the loophole.   You take that process.  I'm an old man.  I'm like that. Why'd you trade so much of the stock now?  How'd you find the stuff with a scanner motherfucker? They go why'd you buy so low? Why'd you why did you sell so much of it cuz I bought so much of it low?   I make a fine living train stocks 7,000 a day 4,000 7,000 8,000 a day.  I use my time Alex uses this time To educate you guys. I'm taking a break from my trading right now to walk around to educate you This is time-consuming guys Because you know what man? I've been doing this so long and money doesn't really Motivate me anymore helping people. So I'm like, how do I help people with crypto?   I really Man, I I never posted my positions until after hours guys I mean, I I was the king of penny stocks.   Oh Man, I said a lot does that make sense guys any questions? I'll take a couple questions We can we can easily to go crypto because you know, we know how to trade That's the beauty of learning the process. That's the beauty of learning technical analysis So a lot of the guys don't know so I went to a dinner party with my girlfriend's Family and they're asking me like they're trading crypto. They got lucky. They made money, right?     I'm teaching them process.   Wait, that doesn't sound right, right?  We teach you how to do that. We teach you the lines We teach you all that take the money that you made in crypto invest in your education from a guy like myself From a guy like alex from MIC. That's how you kill it guys Any questions? Otherwise, I will go back and start trading more stocks because I did not make enough today Alex you're out, raise your hand. Maybe I'll bring alex time Tell him about the upcoming MIC stuff or anybody want to come on I've been a long time since I've brought someone out. You want to come on today?      What's going on? I can bring on someone for like a little bit.  How many dodge coins that barely anything right guys?  This is what you do. This is another thing. Okay We were to have live trading every wednesday Oh, actually tomorrow alatash is on vacation. So there's no new member webinar tomorrow next week.  Let's see. I'm just gonna random person on Isn't a wall I miss these I miss meeting random people And then we'll end it here. I want to bring one person. I will end it here I'm gonna bring someone on that has a profile photo There we go Hey No What's up, brother What's up, man? What's your name? Tell me your name. Where you from, man? We were on live three months ago. You didn't have the free truck. How are you going? How's it going? Good good. I'm just not working. I'm doing my uh wraps right now.   Yeah, remember You're you're out. Where where you at again? Tell me your name and where you at Eric I'm from Ontario. Yes. That's right. So what happened? So what happens this then? Dude amazing things found the process understood it study study study I'm still working on it But I can see when I follow the process it works. The only thing is it's my own personal battle now Yep, your battle of discipline and greed and FOMO, right? Yeah, exactly. But you know what? I have a good tab buddy that reached out to me Patrick, um Freedom trader on m.i.c. And you know, he's been keeping me in check Yeah, freedom trades a good guy brother to him. Uh, hey, what's up Patrick? I think he's getting married or something Right? Yeah to uh chow. Congrats to him. Yeah, man. That's awesome.

If you get your routine going life is good That's advantage, but you know what man? We're humans man.  Okay couple pointed The part of the problem is the greed.   I get I get the freedom of going to different places and installing Yeah, tell everybody your business where you at. Maybe pull yourself back new right now if you're in Ontario I'm out of the public eye. I just do the back end stuff now And then I just do Do the trading on the side until uh, it can supplement it like you said That is awesome to hear bro. There's some random bro.   I love it brother. I love it. You're happy. You're good shape. You're healthy Good spirit. I Appreciate you. Thank you for everything and all the moderators too. They really helped.

All right guys. I'll see you back in the room


So our next functional group is the carbonyl group, and with carbonyl groups we can have two families, aldehydes if the double bonded oxygen is on the end of the chain, and then something called ketones if the double bonded oxygen is in the middle of the chain. So let's look at some aldehydes and ketones. The simplest is something called methanol, and you can see with methanol we have the carbon with the double bonded oxygen attached to it, there's one carbon, we have our double bonded oxygen here, and then two hydrogens. Next would be ethanol, and with ethanol we have our double bonded oxygen attached to a carbon, and then you can see our second carbon has its regular three hydrogens attached. So third one of course would be propanol, and you see we have our three carbons, and then you see that the oxygen, double bonded oxygen is attached to the first carbon. So here's the first carbon, and we can flip the molecule this way, and you see this is still the first carbon, and there is our double bond. Now when we get to three carbons, we can actually have a ketone. So this is propanone, and you can see that our double bonded oxygen is attached to the second carbon. So the first carbon has three hydrogens, and it has a bond with the second carbon, the second carbon has the double bonded oxygen, that's our carbonyl group, and then our third carbon with its three hydrogens attached. So those are the first few of the carbonyl group.


e committee but Parliament as a whole needs to keep this conversation going and scrutiny of budgets and public spend ensuring everything across all committees whether it's in health and education or wherever it is is in line with tackling the climate and the nature emergency and I could reel off a list of things which we've talked about over 20 years probably about what people would like to see but that mainstreams that, that really brings that to the heart of everything that we do because people can then trust and look to that process to that structure in the building which is bringing the conversation back to the people which I think could be really valuable and bringing in all those you know that would bring the openness and transparency accountability and participation that are obviously going to be so key to to making progress which we will refer to elsewhere. Okay thank you can we go to Mary please? Yes thanks I think the one thing that this committee could be doing is really doing the job that it's predecessor committee set out back in the spring and you know really holding the government to account on the climate change plan update the missed targets so you know we saw the um there were 166 points that your predecessor committee flagged up as as wanting to be addressed in in terms of the climate change plan update and also um you know the the committee asked for a credible plan B right away from this sort of over reliance on negative emissions technologies that we we saw in in the climate change plan update so you know not just going for the residual emissions being captured by by ccs but you know one fifth by 20 quarter by 2032 and you know those dates don't align with industry projections of when when that technology would come on stream and obviously we we have serious reservations about whether that technology will ever come on stream but even the industry isn't claiming to you know be able to mop up that amount within that timescale so really this committee needs to be holding the government to account on on those points flagged back in spring we've we've also seen the recent section 36 update plan um which was a response to um the missed target um and i think that has been laid before parliament as per um the the regulations i don't think there's a requirement for this committee or any committee to scrutinise it but i think it would be strongly advisable for um this committee to do so so it's a you know it's a 15 page it's not a very long um report um it's um you know there's a there's some positive things in there mostly that are taken from the the manifesto uh the co-operation agreement and the programme for government and a couple of new extra things on top of that but there are no numbers in that update report so it's very hard to tell whether um it's credible so i think you know it'd be great if you could you know have a look at the report get the minister in front of you and and ask some difficult questions uh of that um in terms of who else you should be listening to you know what other expert advice i mean there are lots of experts out there i think um you know review listening to what civil society are saying would be um you know useful for this committee so i you know i've mentioned once or twice the the work of um the civil society review that's available we can we can forward you um those reports if that would also you know tune in um you know the work that the cop cop 26 coalition uh did around the Glasgow summit uh you know we ran over the course of the two years we ran several um people summit um online ahead of the cop we ran a hybrid in person and and online um people summit during the cop and many of those sessions were captured and and recorded and you know what people were discussing you know the impacts of the climate crisis but also the solutions um to the climate crisis in in many of those sessions and they you know i think you could learn a lot from going back to those sessions and and tuning in and and listening both in terms of what we need to do and also just in terms of you know the real public appetite for change and the real anger you know the sense that you know that's very fine expand a bit but in that sense of you know perhaps you know i and we as friends of the earth haven't come across as very hopeful in terms of the outcome of cop 26 but actually where we do or hope from is is in this really powerful um you know movement of movements that we've that we've helped to instigate but that we've seen growing um you know beyond um beyond our our hopes for that and you know that's going to continue um to act together and and to hold um decision makers to account until we until we get the change that we we need do we have time to go to Theresa come in vino very briefly thank you very much um so i'm quite heartened by the real willingness of this committee to be a world leader and to push itself and the world um and so to take forward the the you know the movement already shown by scotland on on loss and damage finance and just transition these are really key so continue to push the boat on these because um because they've proven very helpful in the global conversation but also asking the right conversations on on what is not being asked you know so initiating conversations possibly a task force for real transformation you know what is a fair share of 1.5 and how to really get there what is really required that can spark and inspire the world and you know maybe make a real difference on getting the planet on track maybe even a task force to look at how money is being spent and where it could be better spent these are real issues that are still nowhere in the conversation and yet are essential to it thank you very much Jackie that brings us to the end of our allotted time and let me thank our guests for joining us today it was a very interesting panel thank you for your insights in relation to the outcomes of coq 26 and the wide range of other issues you brought to our attention um and enjoyed the rest of your day thank you very much and that brings us to the end of the public session


A top official in South Africa is ruling African and national congresses challenging his suspension, pending charges of fraud and corruption against him. Ace Magashule has gone to court to question the legality of a party rule which forces officials facing criminal charges to step aside from the oppositions until their cases are finalized. He claims the rule undermines the constitutional principle of a person being innocent until proving guilty. Magashule's facing charges related to a government contract worth more than 18 million dollars. He's a fierce political rival of a party leader and South African president Siruth Ramaphosa.


Welcome everyone. This is the 19th of May. It's documentation office hours. Topics I've got Kevin's unavailability. Pipeline steps ref end of life notifications early end of life anything else that needs to go on the list Chris did you want some something for Google summer of code. Yeah, probably yeah. Okay so let's put Google summer of code. Meg anything you want to add to the list. Nope, I'm more listening than anything. Okay, great. All right so let's go first topic then Kevin Martin's unavailable until June 12 so Kevin has shared with the board, the Jenkins board that he'll be unavailable until the 12th of June. We're, we're trying to decode what can we do to handle his absence as documentation officer so one of the things we'll do is accept that we're going to delay this the work on this Java 11 to Java 17 transition. This is where we need to document how to install make our default documentation install from Java 17 rather than from Java 11. So it's not time critical, but we wanted to get it started around the time that Debbie and 12 releases. Right now they've announced Debbie and 12 release sometime in June. So, I'm not overly worried by it. Do we have do any. I've been out of it but a couple of years ago. We had some guidance for performance for the various Java things to do and it was sort of Java release specific are there any changes of that for 17 anything like that or not that we've detected the, in fact we've heard. And some anecdotes that hint that Java 17 in general behaves a little faster. Oh, without without a lot of custom tuning I do Chris do you have any specific experience there. I've heard about it but personally I don't, I don't know is that that much of a difference, maybe a little bit. Yeah, that that's me I haven't seen a dramatic that was true for 11 over eight but as I recall our support people and what's the guy's name God. And if you know who I mean he did those wonderful presentations that forum. Right. Right and he, but there were different things you did to optimum or did or didn't do to optimize performance and 11 over eight. And I don't know if there's things like that. If we don't have anything like that written up then we don't have to worry about updating. Yeah, I'm, I'm not aware of anything I know the cloud bees on their documentation site has some of those kinds of recommendations but as far as I recall we haven't put any of those on the Jenkins site. Okay. All right. Okay, so, so now the next piece is there there are certainly other things that Kevin does for instance he would regularly review the pull requests submitted to Jenkins that I owe. And what we're proposing there is hey until mid June when he's back let's invite others to assist. So Bruno Verracht and has agreed to assist. He's based in Europe. Meg I wanted to check with you would you be willing to assist with the idea being that what I'll do is when I see something I think you could help with a review on I'll actually just go in and I'll assign the pull request to you if you're okay with that. That's fine well I get mail notification of that then. Let's test it and see. So what I'm going to do is, I'm going to assign this draft pull request to you. Okay. And let's see if you get email that tells you that it's been assigned. Okay. So there we see it now you can, you can, you can select here. You can select that and you'll see only the, the those that are assigned to you this is a draft you don't have to review it but just for purposes of the test certainly. Let's see we'll see that the calendar was made me a box I can tell. I don't seem nothing yet. So you may have to adjust your notification settings on Jenkins.io. Okay. So here which is settings, and then email notifications. Oh no that's not it. There's there's a setting that there's a thing that you adjust as a, oh what you want to be, oh here it is. It's in the unwatch thing here. So top right hand corner under unwatch, I'm doing all activity if you change it to participating and at mentions. So that should, that should assure you that you get notified. Okay, we'll figure it out and it wouldn't kill me to go and look once in a while. Well, and if you'd like, if you're willing, I can certainly also just send you an email and say hey, I've assigned this to you. So the crucial thing for me is, are you okay with me using this assignee as a way to indicate hey this is one for you. And we'll work it out if I miss stuff you can. Great. Okay, so agreed. All right, super. Thank you. Chris any objections from you that that for me feels like it's a workable process for Meg to contribute. And I'll tend to assign you lightweight things Meg it's not I'm not going to give you the monsters because that that just doesn't seem reasonable. So I don't, I mean, there was back in the day sometimes I would do those that I was in no position to approve or anything but I could go through and catch some of the stuff and highlight to you things to look at. Right, you could go through faster so great whatever works for you I always enjoy working with you I always learn something though. Thank you. Thanks very much. I'll do the weekly change logs. That's not a not a big burden because most of it's automated. And for the upcoming long term support release 2.401.1. I'll handle change log and upgrade guide as a way to be sure that I'm still able to do that confidently. Kevin's done the last four or five maybe six or seven. And so I've gotten a little rusty. Yeah. Like riding a bicycle you will forget. We hope so yes. The release lead for Alex Alexander Brandis is release lead. And he's been patient with me in the past that set of changes doesn't look huge. Anything else on on Kevin's absence. Nope. Okay next topic then was Google Summer of Code Chris, what topics would you like there. Um, so I think I would like to discuss about this, like the documentation processes of different projects. Because like, right now we don't have a sanctuaries ways to do things. So it was like, different people adopt different kind of like technologies for keeping track of documentation. And we may want to make some recommendations about to do what he is with what's available. That's all things. Okay, so are you talking about documentations for plugins or documentation for Jenkins core. Tell me more about which type of documentation. Are you referring to documentations for documentation for blind steps. Projects. So it's like for how to keep track of the projects. Oh, okay. All right. Yeah, I can say we're talking about these projects. That's that's why it's a portrait management morning. So then, okay, documentation this way. Okay, good. So let's show we talk through some alternatives. Yeah. Okay, so some alternatives and techniques we've used in the past. So one is Google Doc to maintain notes, maintain meeting notes. Log posts for status reports. And so this was let's call this the past techniques flawed and imperfect as they were blog post for status reports meetups for interactive sessions for demos and interactive question and answer. Now, one of the recent technique that I've seen. Oh, and and one more zoom recordings. Yeah, to capture the meetings with notes and recording posted to community dot Jenkins that I'll. So one of the things that I think it may have been you Chris actually that's doing it or maybe it was Adrienne or Bruno but someone was using instead of you they were using Google Doc for meeting notes but instead of using zoom. They're using Google Meet. Not us. You say that's not you. Okay. So the benefit of this one was the recording is immediately available. Yeah. Is it to all participants or to at least some so it's, it's, it's immediately available without upload to YouTube. Yeah, but the downside is you don't have a copy on YouTube. Correct. Yeah. That's, and that that is YouTube is effectively an archival site for us on others. Good point. Yeah. What are you doing for the and whatever they call it the initiation week or two that first bit do you have things planned for that or we do community bonding is in progress. All right. And each group is meeting with each set of mentors are meeting with the contributor. And then there is a checklist provided by the org admins that we're using to be sure that we make sure we do the do the community bonding well. There's also a checklist on the project overall. Right. And then there's an overall checklist. That was provided by the org admins. And that just came out. Was it yesterday, Chris, maybe today. I think it was yesterday. Yeah, so very recently. Yeah. And again, mentors use that to to assure we stay on track, etc. So, Kristen, now that alternative technique stuff that may not be describing what you are most interested in what what other things were of interest to you or what other areas were of concern. I think so I might be interested in is to use something like, I mean, I'm thinking it's like, I think we've used it in the past for some projects. So get a wiki. That's one. So, like, maybe, maybe, like, we can try like Trello, or maybe get projects, depending on the like development of the resource. So it's like for projects, it may not be available for some people for certain projects like Jenkins, so I'll be building. Okay. I can get that can like keep track of like different tasks more readily. So, so Trello, Trello and GitHub projects are both quite good at task tracking right that's. Yeah. So in and in terms of that couldn't we also consider using. If we're talking about task tracking. We could also consider Jenkins JIRA. Right. I mean, also crow uses Jenkins JIRA quite effectively with epics to capture the big picture. Then individual issues. Or smaller tasks. But, but we're the contuber to have access to it. Yes, yes. Okay. Yeah, so, so that one, the use use their Jenkins dot IO account. Okay. Yeah, true. Now GitHub, we absolutely are confident they've got a GitHub account. If they don't, it's easy for them to create one. Yeah. And just with GitHub. Somebody and captain who's very good is actually because we have, we are not using JIRA for, for the open source work. And we just have a label. It's an epic label. So we have documentation and then he has sort of a form where, you know, describe the problem and what's the solution going to look like in all this and then, and then manually as you create the individual issues at the bottom, there's a list of issues that are tied to that. So there is a way to get that epic concept into GitHub to get up issues. Yeah. I'd never thought of that, but I thought it was quite clever and it works nicely. How sophisticated are your people do you what what I saw quickly last year, which was that all of us spent a lot of time individually trying to tell people why you didn't do like one PR to represent the summer. You know, the, you know, the whole of the small PR, and you forget that bugged me at first too, because I was used to thinking of the big thing, you know, and I realized it would have been much easier if we'd done that as a group done initial training on this is how you do stuff, rather than where you're constantly criticizing them and then they'd feel beleaguered and they'd go off and they'd try to do better and it's like, okay, I'll only put eight weeks of work into this. Instead of all the murder. Right. Right. So, for me, I think that's, that's a general advice, right. Right. Just open source practice and. Yeah, that's a question that harsh, the GitLab plugin modernization contributor asked, Hey, do you prefer small pull requests or large. And that was an easy one small because it almost always benefits everybody when you do the work. It is real work to break a large idea into small pull requests but that work is very, very useful to all of us. Right.  Because x refs aren't going to get everything put in but. So Chris, do you have you have one of these methods that that is you to which you are leaning heavily are you thinking hey I'm going to do it this way. I might try to adopt Jira this year, because I was thinking about trial but it's like Jerry isn't way better because he also more features. Oh, yes he and I'm, I'm prone to if I if we need epics. I would buy us towards using Jira just because it's, it's already familiar. I'm not sure whether it's better or worse than anything else but it's already familiar and we've got the system. Okay. Good. All right. Great. Any other topics that you wanted to discuss related to Google Summer of Code Chris. Nope. Okay. But the remaining topics actually are not especially crucial that we discussed them here so we had a damaged page on Jenkins.io that is fixed, did some reverse some some bisecting to find out what broke it, and then wrote a test to assure that it stays fixed. And don't have time right now and probably won't for a month or two to decode why this thing broke. Just see that it did. And, and there is therefore a blocked change request that is failing tests and that's why it's blocked. Right. So this one right here will remain blocked because the test will keep failing until we figure out why the tests, what's really causing the thing to fail to do its job. At low risk, there's no real harm yet. So long as this thing never passes the test and still doesn't deliver its content. The site looks just fine. So the steps reference that they get inside the dashboard is not affected by this or it is not. So in when you say dashboard you mean inside Jenkins itself Jenkins yeah yeah completely unaffected all but this affected was this page and it's working correctly now so we go to pipeline. And if we look at pipeline steps. When I would search for checkout. It will find this pipeline SCM step I click that link. And in the broken case this phrase nested choice of objects would be immediately followed by this thing. Having lost all of the intervening content between them. Interesting. Yeah, it changes the size of this file from when it's corrects correctly sized it's 75 or more kilobytes incorrectly sized it's less than five kilobytes. So it's easily tested. And that that really is it the other items I've got a pull request pending to announce end of life for operating systems as we get close to their end of life and proposal to do early end of life for red hat Linux seven. And that's that's really it any other topics for today's meeting. Nope. Okay, then let's call it done for today and I've got a bunch of recordings to upload to get things done. Thanks everybody and you don't have PR is sitting there that need me right now right. I do not. Okay. I shall wait for your beckoning. All right, thanks make thanks. Thanks Chris.


Animal ecologists are increasingly limited by constraints in data processing. Here, Tuya and colleagues discuss how collaboration between ecologists and data scientists can harness machine learning to capitalise on the data generated from technological advances and lead to novel modelling approaches. This article was authored by Davies Tuya, Benjamin Kellanberger, Sara Beery and others.


And what happens is when you have surface level conversations, romance ends up being the primary driving force of the relationship and you find yourself attached to someone who might be a total nightmare. I had one woman write me on YouTube saying I had an eight week experience. You know, we saw each other two or three times per week. And I'm gonna get big proponent of spending a lot of time together in a short period of time. And she was just to start having feelings and then all of his stuff started to implode in this dynamic. And she basically, she got to see the real guy instead of the image that he was projecting. And this is what happens in a lot of dating dynamics today is we see what Chris Rock calls the ambassador of someone's best self.


Good afternoon. Welcome to Living Mosaic, a project of the Spark of Humanity Network. My name is Martha Holden and I'm a member of the Spark of Humanity Network. Living Mosaic is a designed or hoped to be a conversation around the idea that there is a solution to the current world distress, heartbreak, horror crisis, however you think of it, that which when you think of it too much tends to drive us to either despair or denial or avoidance. The idea that there is a solution and that it may be conceived as a living mosaic in which we are each a unique and essential part. We cannot be somebody else's part. Nobody else can do our part. We're each unique. We're each essential. And so to support each other, discuss the concept and support each other in becoming the unique essential part that we are designed to be available to be. That's what the program is about, to explore and to support. And this afternoon we're talking about sacrifice. There's some guests here which is lovely. And I will do a little talk and then I will give Coleman there and the control booth permission to unmute so anybody who wants to speak may do so at that point. The concept of sacrifice is not an easy one. The way I'm understanding it, the way I'm offering it here is the offering up of something we value. For something we value more. For something which is more important. And oftentimes the things that we're attached to, actually there's an attachment and the value that we're offering up. There's something we're attached to that we value because we're attached to it. And becoming aware of it or offering it and offering it up saying, I'm willing to let go of this, I'm willing because there's something greater, a greater good that I choose to support and want to be able to do that. Back in the early 80s out in California there was the story of a man walking on the beach at night and he heard a voice or felt a wisdom or say, delete all judgments, delete all comparisons, delete the need to understand. So deleting those things may or may not have been a sacrifice on his part but I think for many of us it is. I'm thinking of sacrifice as the stories we tell ourselves, the stories we tell ourselves about ourselves, our self-image, the stories we tell ourselves about other people. This is where the judgment and the comparisons can come in. So being willing to become aware of those factors, those things to which we are attached, the stories, the ideas, the concepts to which we are attached, which get in the way of our being drawn into our place in the living mosaic or drawn into our truer selves, becoming who we truly are, which will fit into the place in the mosaic. Many of us have an idea of who we are and what we're supposed to be and we can get quite attached to that that may or may not be the case, that that is what we are needed to be in order to be part of the solution for the global distress. So the idea is that giving up sacrifice, giving up something that we're attached to for something that we realize we value more greatly, more deeply and the people who are involved in this project and who are showing up and who care are people I trust, I know, I presume are people who value being part of the solution, who want there to be a solution, who are willing to give up, who are willing to sacrifice, ideas, stories, concepts, judgments, comparisons to the need to understand in order to be drawn into becoming a part of the solution. Because the mosaic needs us all to be there. So something went funny. Oh, here we all are, at least Alex is. Okay, so that's sort of the conceptual framework. I'm going to tell Coleman that he's welcome to unmute if either of our current guests want to say something, respond, ask a question and have at it if you want to, otherwise I will keep babbling. Okay, I'll keep babbling. It's in some sense amazing to me, it's certainly noteworthy to me how subtle the ideas can be, the stories can be that get in the way of our becoming who we're meant to be, who we're needed to be, never mind meaning, but who we're needed to be in order to become the essential and unique part of the mosaic that we potentially are and that if you prefer to think of it this way we're created to be. It doesn't make any difference. There is a niche in the mosaic and how we get from here to our niche, our place in the mosaic, which of course is, the mosaic is alive, it's evolving so that niche is alive and evolving and we're not, it's not a static target so it's some, there's a fluidity called for responsiveness, a subtlety of attention, a breadth opening up our sensors to be aware of that which is drawing us on or perhaps nudging us on and allowing that to flow us toward where we're needed to be or it may be no other where in the physical sense, but it may be a different where in this sense or even in our heart sense. So to become aware of those places where we're holding on, where we're attached, that we are being encouraged by our desire, our willingness to be part of the solution that we're being encouraged to sacrifice, to let go of because it can feel, it can feel like a neat cleaver to the heart at times, a guillotine, be willing to sacrifice those self-images, those concepts, those ideas about ourselves and about other people and about all the problems that we see needing a solution, that can feel very sacrificial, it can feel bloody and painful, but that's the becoming aware of those layers. And I don't have a one-size-fits-all or even one-size-fits-one maybe idea about how this happens, but I know from having observed and having lived that this is a process that is alive and it's working on us and doing what it can to, like a pumice stone, abrade away that which gets in the way of our becoming, who we are called to be our essential and unique selves that fit into, which sounds too static, fit into our place in the mosaic, which I say mosaic, that's the name of this program and I think it's a good one, but it also can be conceived as a dance to find our steps in the dance, to find our place in the dance, to get the feeling of the dance in our bones and sinews and blood vessels and nerve endings so that we're participating in the dance. Dance is much more dynamic than mosaic. They both have some relevance or body. Am I a cell in the pancreas of this body that is the solution? So I don't know, but it's an ongoing process. I believe and the rest of us who are deeply involved in this work believe and trust that it's active and doing its best to work on every one of us, every single one of us on this planet. And some people don't like that, so they set up defenses, they get more attached to their ideas. They contort themselves and distort themselves so that they can try to get away from that breath that's inhaling them into their place in the mosaic or breathing them into their function in the dance. But for those of us who are here and those of us who will be here, it's working on us and it's wanting to work through us, although that sounds too anthropocentric, anthropomorphic. There's something. And I think of it as being alive, evolving, that which sings the dance, the body of the dance, the source of the dance, the designer of the mosaic, the life of the mosaic, whatever it is. Who cares? I don't care. You may. I don't. But that's one of those things we may need to be sacrificing is giving up, trying to understand that or trying to say what it is, trying to analyze it, trying to control it, whatever. We need to be giving that up. Okay, somebody wants to talk and I'm going to put on my dear little earphones. They're so cute. Okay. There we go. I just want to say, Martha, that I always find these discussions almost unbearably difficult for me. I find that because I can so face, I can so see, and in the neighborhood where I live in Southern California, there's a lot of political stuff up that I find incredibly challenging. The problems of the environment, the problems of our political system, of our political discourse, are vividly displayed every time I step out my door. And I just want to say that today, the idea that there is a solution sounds utterly impossible. It doesn't just sound improbable. Now, tomorrow it may be that I'll go get the solution, but I have no place in it because my health is so bad that anything I do that runs the risk of making me angry or upset could literally kill me. There are always so many things. I have daily practices, daily meditation that I do, and dealing with some of these things in the abstract seems to be helping. But what are you doing when you find that? I mean, really, it's very easy. I had a t-shirt when I was a kid. I didn't even understand what it meant. My mother bought it for me because she thought it fit. And it said, I love mankind. It's people I can't stand. I've recently been saying to people, even atheist friends, I've been saying, you know, I love Jesus. It's Christians I can't stand. I don't really mean that for all Christians, but I find that I frequently feel that. What do you do? What do you do to make it real? To acknowledge that beautiful abstraction of picturing all of humanity and all that. Oh, there's this mosaic, which, by the way, comes from the same root as music. So I think when I picture myself as a single voice in an incredibly large choir, it's so beautiful.  How do you, particularly, or how ought I to deal with moving from the abstraction to the literal? Good question. Thanks a lot, buddy. Nice to have a good question. It's a practice, right? And also, to bring it back to sacrifice, I think there's something to do with willingness. And you're showing up and speaking, as you just did, demonstrate some willingness to maybe sacrifice some of the ideas you're attached to, some of the skills you have with words, some of the—who knows what? I don't know what, but I know that to face the reality of it, I live here in a bubble. So it's very easy. It's much easier for me to see and visualize and understand the idea. I love the fact that Mosaic is music and that idea of it's a song, it's a symphony, as well as a dance, as well as a Mosaic, as well as a body. And I mean, I meditate. I avoid large groups of people. My spiritual condition is my most valuable resource. And that often means that I need to sleep a lot. And because my physical health is an important part, I can't do my life if I'm not physically well. I'm taking care of my physical self, which includes good nutrition and lots of hydration, and sleep, and mild and gentle exercise, like walking up here, all those things help. And largely, I think it's a matter of training the brain and being aware when my head is going into the negativity, because my feelings, the feelings come up and I don't need to welcome them or engage them. I can just notice them. I can thank them. I can be grateful that I'm capable of feeling, because for years I wasn't very good at that. And I can push them aside. I can focus on something. I have control over my attitude. That's pretty much all I have control over. And I have control, almost as much control over what I'm paying attention to and what I'm putting my focus on. So I can shift my focus, which sounds like denial. I mean, if I'm walking out my door and there's a political sign that is contrary to my prejudices, I can choose to ignore it. I can also, thank you for sharing, I choose to be grounded within myself. I choose to be true to myself. I choose not to engage in that dialogue or monologue and work and pay attention to that and be willing, I think a large part is the willingness that you're showing up by talking to it, is to let go of what I need to let go of in order to become a vibrant, vital part of the solution. Because it does take letting go of stuff. And how we do that is we do it together by your coming and saying, okay, how do I do this? And we do it on our own and there are spiritual resources as you've accessed some in your community is my understanding. But I think for every person, like each unique and essential, we each have a unique path. And somebody walking on my path could just jump off the closest cliff or bridge. But to explore it and know that there's the support, there's the vitality, the life of the mosaic, which is wanting to be lived through you. It's not just you. There's a force that wants to be known and recognized and affirmed and in relationship with you. There's a responsiveness of mutuality here. It's not just Danielle. It's this whole dynamic. It's this whole process. And so to recognize yourself as part of that and a valuable, essential part of that and a struggling part of that at this particular point, but working towards becoming more aligned with it so that the times of discomfort, which are inevitable, will be more worthwhile, they'll be more acceptable. And what I find myself is when I begin to recognize and realize that this thing that is this horrible thing that's going on for me and with me and with me at this point is simply part of my process of formation. And then it's a gift. It's custom crafted to mold me into the shape that's needed. I have a wonderful stick I like. I don't think I haven't done it on the show recently, but everlasting. And everlasting, you know, God's mercy is everlasting. Everything's everlasting. Alast is the form, the wooden or metal form on which the cobbler, the shoemaker, mold stretches, forms the leather so that it can be of use. And so if we look at the process of becoming the person, becoming the piece of the mosaic or the voice in the chorus that's needed as an everlasting process, it means we are continually being molded and stretched and formed. And it goes on. There's no final solution here. It goes on. It continues. But what I'm finding is that it becomes more, as I become accustomed to it, I say, ah, so, there you are, everlastingly. Yes, okay. This is just, okay, I can accept this. I can breathe into it. I can even on my better days welcome it because I know I'm in the process. I'm not alone. And that knowing that I am part of something, I'm part of a process, a chorus, that carries me when if I'm thinking just about me, I, you know, skip it. I can't do it. It's too hard. I don't have the resources. I'm, you know, list the list. Does that help? Or maybe not. But anyway, I can't hear you. Did I do something? Hold on. Coleman? I'm not hearing Danielle. There we go. Now, yes, there were, I should have been taking notes because there were a couple of things that you specifically said that really resonated. And it's always beneficial to hear that the struggle is part of the victory because the struggle just feels like an endless struggle for me sometimes. When I lived in Vermont on a dirt road, I used to see not quite this time of year, but soon we'll have spring peepers that need to get across the road. And we'll have those little red salamander things that need to get across the road because they're going to the vernal pool to breed. And you'll see them smashed all over the roads. And I used to gladly stop and pick them up and carry them across the road. And it occurred to me that recently that I will, I still do that in my own way. Here at snails and earthworms that get stranded on the sidewalk when it's raining or when the sprinklers are on, I will gladly stoop and pick up a worm, but it occurred to me that there are politicians that I would laugh at and watching them if they were in a ditch or laying. And I am not pleased or proud of myself with that. I also want to point out that Alex, I'm looking at your room that you're in and the type of doors and the type of door frames are reminding me of a home I lived in during an especially happy time of my life in Montpelier and it's creating a beautiful kind of homesickness right now. So thank you for sharing the image. It's really helpful to me. Thanks, Danielle. I think it's good to recognize that one of the things we need to let go of is denial if they're politicians who'd like to see squirming in the ditch. Yeah, sure, if I pretend it's not. I'm sure they'd probably be happy to see you squirming in the ditch too, whatever. But we're all part of the... There's good music is made up of dissonance and resolution, right? And you're a composer and so you know that. So we get stuck in dissonance for a while. I keep messing with the sound thing here to try to get you so I can hear you but not be deafened by you. Say something.  Yeah, it's just been odd. I keep not being able to unmute every once in a while. Yes, well, thank you. And I've been holding on to that ever since I saw someone talking about the muses and how that is the derivation of mosaic and of music. Of the muses and muses and museum. A place to go and be uplifted by the music. Yeah, yeah. So in my back, I'll get ever since I read about that a month or so ago. But anyway, I know we're running out of time and I just want to reiterate that I really appreciate you and this is hard for me to show up to and hard to unmute and talk about but it's also I think a very necessary thing for me right now. So thanks. Thank you. I don't see that we're running out of time. Some of the clock seems to have gotten strange. Okay, I didn't know exactly how long. Yeah. We're not quite at 11. No, well, my clock up there says we have 22 minutes and 37 seconds left but it may have gotten wonky. I suspect it did. But Coleman will come out and fix it because that's one of the things he does. Well, thank you. Clocks off. Clocks off? We're a little over. Are you going to change it? What? Oh, we are. Okay, all ready. Oh, whoops. Sorry, Alex. Okay. Sorry we got carried away. It was so much fun. Come back, Alex. You'll have a chance to speak. Thank you, Danielle. Blessings. Oh, I see what happened. It went back and turned around.


Section tournaments for high school girls hockey are in full swing this week with a pair of semi-final matchups in 8-2-A taking place tonight.  The Warriors won both matchups during the regular season, but tonight will be a little bit more difficult for Brainerd. Sartel strikes first with a goal from an impossible angle right there. Kelly Carrier with the goal for Sartel, but Brainerd would quickly go on a power play and answer right back with a snipe by Cheyenne A-Bear. They knocked things up at one. Early in the third period, we're still tied. Brainerd on the power play again. Abbey Polkamp puts one past the goalie to give the Warriors a 2-1 lead and with three minutes left to go in the game. Sartel on the power play. Olivia King stands tall and net to keep the Warriors ahead. Brainerd Little Falls with a pair of empty netters and they win 4-1.

You know, what's going on? This is rich to be live.

Now the next game is going to start here shortly and it's going to be Green Bay versus San Francisco 49ers. Who do you guys got in the big game? I Think it would be really entertaining Honestly, either way San Francisco has got a pretty explosive offense. Obviously Aaron Rodgers and Green Bay is An amazing amazing player and amazing team So there's a very good chance that Green Bay makes it too, but I don't know man. San Fran's been doing it all year, man Yes, Andy Reed needs to win the big game. It's going to be somebody new most likely this year unless Aaron Rodgers finds a way to get through San Fran, but man San Fran has just been beating everybody today. Oh I'm actually going to go Got my rich TV live gear here and I'm going to go to An indoor soccer tournament. So yeah, it is kind of cold here in Vancouver, but I won't be in I won't be outside I'm just kind of I'm just bundled up because I want to stay nice and warm But yeah, great game Kansas City was down early. I'm in Vancouver, but it's snowing here So it is kind of cold here in Vancouver Kansas City was down early down 10 points right off the bat and it looked kind of Like Tennessee was going to find a way to run over them But Kansas City played their game and they found a way to take the lead and Once they took the lead, it just looked like Tennessee was getting away from their game, which was running the ball Vancouver is summer to us Yeah Um And uh, Kansas City, you know, Patrick, you know, Patrick Mahomes, you know, he does what he does man Just plays awesome in the big games and young guy making it To the Super Bowl and if he wins the Super Bowl, I believe he'll be the first player ever in NFL history To win a Super Bowl and win an MVP award under the age of 25 the first quarterback in history to win an NFL MVP and a Super Bowl under the age of 25 so Pretty cool pretty exciting game pretty nice to watch Nice to see Kansas City make it after I think they said something like 50 years Since they've been there. So I think that that's long overdue for Kansas City. Congratulations to everyone That is a Kansas City Chiefs fan Who's had to persevere and deal with all the highs and lows over the last 50 years You guys have made it again.

They need something like that They need a catalyst. So Maybe a partnership is around the corner. That's That would be that'll be very much needed.
