Look, let me say good morning to everyone, and today I'm joined by the following leaders from the Houston Afghan Resettlement Fund, also known as HAARP, Cynthia Colbert, President and CEO of Catholic Charities of the Archdiocese of Galveston, Houston, Daniel Stoker, President and CEO of the Alliance, Martin B. Kaminski, President and CEO of Interfaith Ministries for Greater Houston, and Stephen Ives, President and CEO of the YMCA of Greater Houston. Let me thank you all. I also want to acknowledge representatives from the Kinder Foundation, Houston Endowment, the Ting Sun and Wayfarm Child Foundation, HAARP staff members and members from my office of New Americans and immigrant communities. In the past several months, over 2,500 Afghan refugees have been brought to our region in the wake of the sudden Taliban takeover of Afghanistan. As the most internationally diverse city in the country, Houston has had a long history of being a welcoming city for refugees, and we are very proud of that. Over a quarter of our population was born in another country, and more than 145 different languages are spoken in our many neighborhoods. Many of our faith traditions teach us to be hospitable to others and welcome and treat them as we would like to be treated ourselves. Houston is an example of what a welcoming city should be, and today is no exception. I want to take this time to personally welcome all the Afghan refugees who have recently resettled to the city of Houston. Houston is proudly leading the charge in Texas for its response to welcoming Afghan refugees, and this is thanks to the hard work of the organizations led by the leaders who are standing beside me today. But frankly, let me just say, I don't think any city, any place in the country does this work better than the organizations who are standing with me today. And they do it because they work collaboratively to make it happen. Texas resettles more people than any other state in the country, and Houston is leading the way in doing it well, doing it well and making people feel warm. So I want to thank these organizations for taking the lead. It's not the mayor, but these organizations that have really stepped up. And for that, I want to personally thank each and every one of you. Today, you will hear from the four CEOs, from the reselling agencies who will share important updates and announce new generous donations to the fund. Since the very beginning, they came together and started planning on how they would receive our Afghan allies. They began the Houston Afghan Resettlement Fund to help raise money for those who may lack the resources they would need to relocate their families. They also did an outstanding job at working with me in my office of New Americans, Terrence O'Neill, to make sure the city was always informed of their efforts and all of their activities. And just last week, I had the pleasure of joining in responding to the former governor of Delaware and newly appointed White House coordinator for operations allies, welcome Jack Markell to Houston. Governor Markell praised Huff efforts and applauded our city's collaborative response to welcoming Afghan refugees. I will now let me now invite Cynthia Colbert, President and CEO of Catholic Charities of the Archdiocese of Galveston, Houston, who will share more about these efforts. Cynthia will be followed by Daniel Stoker, President and CEO of the Alliance, who will be followed by Martin B. Kamensky, President and CEO of Interface Ministries for Greater Houston. And then Mr. Kamensky will be followed by Steven Ives, President and CEO of YMCA of Greater Houston. Cynthia. First of all, on behalf of the Houston Afghan Resettlement Fund and our collaboration, I'd like to thank our mayor for leading the way and creating such a welcoming city and a place where Afghans and other immigrants and refugees want to live and are welcomed into a city where they can thrive and rebuild their lives after such a traumatic. So thank you, Mary, because without your leadership, we wouldn't be the kind of city that says we have open arms and we're ready for you to rebuild your life here in the Houston region. So for over two decades, Afghans worked alongside our troops, our diplomats, and other government employees as interpreters, cultural advisors, drivers, and many more functions. With the US withdrawal from Afghanistan, tens of thousands of our Afghan allies and their families became targets in grave danger of retaliation. When the withdrawal began, our agencies realized that our services would be needed now more than ever. We knew that Houston would be a popular place for a large percentage of fleeing Afghanis. And we knew it would require all of us working together to join forces and provide resources to help them. Our four agencies have a lot of history and experience and expertise in providing help for families who are rebuilding their lives from the ground up. So when our Afghan allies fled from their homeland, let me tell you, they left with nothing, just whatever they could carry in the clothes on their back. So when they arrive here in Houston, we work to provide them with a range of supports that help them truly begin to rebuild their lives. This means that we begin the journey by welcoming them at the airport, a friendly face, a welcoming staff member and volunteer who then drive them either to temporary housing or to their apartment. When we greet them, we make sure that they have food to eat and they understand that we're there to journey along with them in this resettlement effort. Once we get them settled in their temporary housing, then we work to get them placed in permanent housing and we furnish the apartment and stock the pantry with culturally appropriate foods so that they don't walk into an unwelcoming place. We provide ongoing support for six months or more to help them find jobs, get their kids in schools, obtain medical care, and all of the other supports that we all need to lead our lives. But we know it's a challenging transition. Later, you'll hear from one of our Afghan staff members. His name is Matthew Abid. He works for Catholic Charities Refugee Resettlement Program. He's been doing a lot of work with the 24 Afghan families who were evacuated by the New York Times and who are now served by Catholic Charities. Afghan evacuees and refugees are known for quickly becoming self-sufficient. Let me tell you, they all want to work. That was one of the first questions. When can our kids go to school and when can we work? So they want to find jobs as soon as possible so they can provide for their families. Between our four agencies, we expect to receive more than 6,000 Afghans in all, probably by early next year. We're not quite halfway there. Right now, our four agencies have received about 2,500 Afghans. So about half of those are families, but we're also getting a lot of single adults as well. Our history in refugee resettlement, our collective experience and expertise, means that when we come together, we know how to leverage our resources, our knowledge, and community resources to help those with whom we are called to serve. In September, we knew that it would be more than any one agency could do by herself, so we formed the Houston Afghan Resettlement Fund and Collaboration. So we set up a website to give the public a place where they could easily make a donation, HoustonAfghanHelp.org. Catholic Charities is the fiscal agent and together we are raising funds to help our new Afghan neighbors. We calculated that the need would be about $8 million to cover costs that were not eligible for federal funding at that time. To date, I'm very happy to let you know that we have received $5.3 million in donations and pledges to help our new Afghan neighbors. Two extraordinary support though came in from the Kinder Foundation and Houston Endowment. They each gave $1.5 million to help us on our goal towards the $8 million. We're so grateful that these two Houston institutions modeled the way in meeting critical needs for Afghan families. We'll share more information about other generous donors who stepped up to welcome these newcomers into our community. So for now, I'll turn the podium over to my colleague, Daniel Stoker, from the Alliance. Thank you, Cynthia. Thank you, Mayor Turner, for your leadership. The Alliance is a nonprofit organization that has served the greater Houston area for more than 35 years and has a long history of resettlement. Our mission is to create opportunities for immigrants, refugees, and underserved communities to achieve their goals for self-sufficiency and improve their quality of life through a number of comprehensive support and service programs. We're incredibly proud to be part of this collaborative effort to resettle Afghan allies who supported US military operations in Afghanistan and will now be calling Houston home. The Alliance has already welcomed nearly 500 allies and we expect to resettle a total of over 1400 ourselves. You heard the numbers for the full collaborative here. The families we're helping have arrived with nothing but clothes on their backs. They're going to need our full support to rebuild their lives here in Houston. In September, Congress took an important step to expand the resources available to the Afghan evacuees. As part of the fiscal year 2020 continuing resolution, Congress approved a measure that provides Afghan evacuees full access to resettlement benefits including reception and placement services and public benefits such as food assistance and medical care. Just last Friday, also, Congress and the Biden administration took a step further in supporting our Afghan allies being including a 1.3 billion to the stop-get funding bill that will go towards providing resettlement and other support services such as housing, English language classes, job training and case management for arriving Afghans. These were significant policy changes that will provide much needed resources to the Afghan families but there is still major funding gaps that need to be addressed just as there always is for refugees. Federal funding for these programs are currently provided through reimbursement also but we have a lot of people coming in. There's a lot of reimbursements. That means right now local organizations such as ours are bearing the upfront costs to secure housing, food, medical care and other essential services that the Afghan families need when they get here. Our organizations are also bringing on new staff members to serve these families and many money that are arriving each day now. The collaborative recently sent a letter to our local members of Congress urging them to expedite federal funds through advanced payments so that local organizations such as all of ours have full capacity to effectively meet the urgent and growing needs of these families. We look forward to working with our members of Congress to get these federal funds dispersed quickly. At the same time, we know from experience that this effort can only be successful with strong support from the community. Our history here has proven that. Refugee resettlement has always been a private public partnership. We have long-continent support from our corporate partners, faith-based organizations, other non-profit partners and generous community members. And that includes cash donations and donated services, food and vehicles. We're very grateful to all of those who have already provided support, which you'll heard about and you'll be hearing more about here in a moment, including these foundations and corporations that we're going to additionally recognize. Houstonians are known for helping their neighbors in times of crisis. We ask for your support now to give our new Afghan neighbors the opportunities to recover and rebuild their lives here in Houston. Thank you. Martin Kaminski. Thank you. Good morning. I'm Martin Kaminski, the president and CEO of Interfaith Ministries for Greater Houston. And we're one of the four agencies that are working so closely together in a collaboration that was made possible by private funders who saw the need to help, to help immediately, and to bring us all together. And so we have developed wonderful relationships together, sharing in resources, each complimenting the other and the work that we do. One of, or two of the things that Interfaith Ministries specializes in is youth mentorship and the opportunity to help the young people that are coming from Afghanistan. We also work in the women's empowerment area to help the women in the family realize their new opportunities in America and utilize those to the fullest. But I'm particularly proud to talk to you today about the funding that made our collaboration possible. The government is always there, and we thank Mayor Turner for always supporting the work of making our community as diverse, as productive and fruitful as possible. And to him, we always say thank you and to other government leaders. But the private sector has the opportunity to come in and to bridge the gap and to be there at times when the government can't be there and to be there faster than the government might be able to get there. And so it's with incredible appreciation that I thank two leading funders of our effort. They've been mentioned before, but it bears repeating. The Kinder Foundation, represented by Petra, Bran and Isaac, we're so grateful. And to the Houston Endowment, represented by Meghna Ghaswami, these two individuals came together first and said, let's make it happen. They challenged each other and helped us slay the foundation of a $3 million gift that would get us started in this effort. But their inspiration and their efforts inspired others. And so I'm particularly happy to recognize some other major foundations and corporations who are helping us along the way. The Ting Seng and Wei Fong Chow Foundation has made a gift of $320,000 to our fund. And Carolyn Sabat and MJ Munez are here today. We thank you for that. The New York Times has given a $250,000 gift to support our work of the collaboration and as we work to resettle people from their staff that were in Afghanistan. I'm happy to say that their staff is now safely resettled here in Houston. I'm also pleased to recognize Kyle Washington, thank you, Kyle, from PepsiCo Foundation, who gave a $50,000 effort to support our work. And our final major gift is from the Arnold Ventures for $50,000. That's a sum of about $3.7 million that's in the bank and raised. But I'm glad to hear from Catholic Charities, who serves as our fiduciary, that Moore is on the way, that pledges are being made, and we have tremendous support. Just always a reminder that in Houston, we do things together. And the public-private partnership working under the leadership of the mayor and the very generous citizens and foundations and companies really makes the difference. And I also want to thank the Houses of Worship and business communities who are doing very special things, donating food, donating hotel rooms to help us get folks settled, and to Houses of Worship that are adopting families and trying to support them as they become Houstonians in our city. So I encourage anyone who can to please help and to please make possible the opportunity for the best life for our new neighbors. Thank you. And I'll call upon my colleague, Stephen Ives. Hello, I'm Stephen Ives, president and CEO of the YMCA of Greater Houston. And I just want to share that like from the mid-1800s, when YMCA first started to be formed here in the United States, YMCA's in big cities were committed to and engaged in strengthening the foundation of community by welcoming people, welcoming newcomers. Houston is no exception. In fact, a leader in this country amongst the Y movement in work with welcoming new Americans, but more importantly, and specifically around refugee resettlement. In the 70s, our YMCA became a partner with some of these others in handling the needs of new people coming to our country for various reasons. In the last few weeks and months that the four of us have been spending time together, a dream of mine has begun to come true. And that is a dream of being able to work hand in hand with other organizations, not just as partners and collaborators, but with this thing I call collective impact. What that means is that we're going to settle 6,000 Afghans. The YMCA will do 1,500 or so, but we're not responsible for 1,500. We're responsible for 6,000. And I think all four of us are thinking of it that way. And so when you imagine coming to this country in the circumstances that have been described to you with only what you can carry in your hands, stranger in a strange land, coming from some trauma and some discomfort, and trying to navigate the workings of the United States. So how many of you had a hard time finding parking for City Hall, who last went and registered their car and saw what was required in order to get through that? People coming to this country without our experience and capabilities are going to need to navigate many of those same things. And so as they walk out of the airplane into the airport and see welcoming people, that's a start. But the bigger piece for this is going to be they're gonna see agencies working together, not passing the buck, not sending one to another because we don't have that. Everybody taking responsibility for all 6,000 Afghans or more that are gonna come to our city. So I couldn't be prouder to be part of this with our collaboration here and really inspired by the philanthropy and the philanthropic input of these wonderful generous donors. Houston is leading the nation, not just Texas, in resettling Afghans. This is an important issue for our communities, is important issue for our country, and it means the world to those people that are coming to us, many of whom have done amazing and heroic things on behalf of a mission that mattered to us as Americans. So with that, I'd like to thank our donors again, thank my partners for being in this with us. It's some early morning calls, it's some late evening calls, it's time and energy related to creating that collective impact that at the end of the day will create and is creating a different experience for people coming to this country. Let's just remember what they're coming here for and also what they have with them when they get here. And remember that Houston's a special place. Houston's a special place because of who we are and our culture, but also because of the leadership that is here in the agency's historic leadership of collaboration and caring for the community and a great mayor who really gets it and understands it and encourages us and really tells us he's proud of us, but also continues to encourage us to move forward. So with that, I will welcome Mayor Turner back up to the podium to introduce our local Afghan. Thank you, thank you all. Thank you, Cynthia, Daniel, Martin, Stephen, thank you and thank you for your comments. No city could be more fortunate to have a group here committed leaders who have shown so much passion and dedication to helping and welcoming others. I would now like to introduce Matthew Abib, an Afghan special immigrant visa staff member from one of the Huff agencies. Matthew will share his six year journey as an Afghan translator with the United States Marine and his experience reselling parolees in Houston. Matthew. Good morning. My name is Matthew Abib and I'm one of the Afghan refugees who moved to the city of Houston about nine years ago. I moved here because I worked with the United States Marines for about six years in the southern part of Afghanistan, Himman province, many of you may have heard that. And then after working for some time, I was giving the option to apply for the special immigration visa, which is particularly for the Afghans who work alongside the U.S. in the Iraqi as well. So I said, yeah, why not? I'd be happy to go and move to the U.S. And then I was in search of a place where to move in the United States. So I asked my friends, the Army and the Marines, what is the best place for the newcomers that they can resell easily and get away and try to resell. And they say, a lot of them say, you know, Houston, some of them say California. But when I counted, Houston was at the top of the list. So I said, I'm moving to Houston. And so that's why I decided. And that's why a lot of these Afghan refugees, they come into Houston because of the diversity we have because of the culture and because of the way that a lot of them can find a job. Even if you don't speak English, you can still find a job and you have a lot of courses, a lot of facilities for the refugees. So that's why most of them come into Houston. So when I moved to the United States, I had a couple of hundred dollars in my pocket. So I say, like, it was gonna be hard for me to carry on the life. But fortunately, you know, I was able to get a job within the first 30 days since when I moved. And then I was on my own, you know, by car. And then later on I went to the, I started working with the, one of my first jobs was a gas station actually. So I was making barely minimum wages, like 725. I started there. And then I moved to a pizza store as a system manager. And then later on, you know, I jump up started working with one of the property as a leasing agent. And then I decided, you know, I said, I don't think this is gonna work. So I need to make more money. And then I went to college. So I started Houston Community College, studied that for two years. I studied criminal justice, but, and then after finishing the community college, I think COVID came. So COVID-19 started and I was struggling to find a job. I was everybody else. So I was staying home for the whole year of 2020. And then 2021, I started with the Catholic Charities as a cash manager. And here I am. So I'm trying to help as much as I can because I was one of them. You know, I've been to it. I came here with a couple hundred dollars in my pocket. And most of them are the same, you know, they have the same issue or the same case. They're not even having the proper, what is it, clothes. I mean, most of them just left the home with nothing, not even the bag. I mean, when they come to the airport, they have blue bag that was given to them in Washington, D.C. So most of them not even having like backpack, even over the regular bag. So, and now, you know, I'm happy to help them. And I thank everybody else, all these, you know, Mayor. I know they've been doing a lot of hard work getting midnight calls and all those things. I'm one of them. I get a lot of calls, but I'm happy to help. And thank you so much. And I'll thank the city of Houston for helping the Afghan allies that are coming because they know this is a home and this is the best place they can resettle. Thank you. Let me thank Matthew for sharing his story and the powerful story it is and for your commitment to ensuring that our Afghan refugee families have a smooth resettlement transition. And I'm glad to have you be a Houstonian and hey, I am your mayor, okay? So, look, before closing, I want to acknowledge and give thanks to the Kender Foundation again and the Houston Endowment again for their generous donation of $1.5 million each. A heartfelt thanks also goes out to the Ting Song and Wei Fang Chow Foundation, the New York Times, the Arnold Ventures and the PepsiCo Foundation. And please know that your donations are helping people, helping propel the efforts that are needed for our Afghan refugee families. In closing, I want to encourage all Houstonians to do your part to support these organizations and their work to help our new allies resettle in their new homes. The season of giving is upon us and I ask all Houstonians to open their hearts and donate to the Houston Afghan Resettlement Fund. You can donate by visiting houstonafghanhelp.org. That's houstonafghanhelp.org. And sometimes, many times, the most important gift is not under the Christmas tree. The most important gift are the people who are walking beside you, your neighbors, your friends. No one person organization can do it alone. We must do it together because as you have heard all of us say over the years, we're all in this together. And whether you're a native born or foreign born, our destinies as a people are intertwined and our future as a city will depend on how we respond to these challenges. So thank you again to the organizations and leaders who are present and thank you for the work that you do. We look forward to working with you to make Houston a more welcoming city for our Afghan allies. So having said that, are there any questions that you may? No questions, we're just gonna do a photo op. Okay.


Next question is from Jazz Fitness. Can you discuss when supersets are appropriate and when they are not? Some people suggest they are only suitable for antagonist muscles. What is your approach to programming? Okay, so first, I'd like to start with the easy part, which is who supersets are not for. People who are overly stressed, whose bodies are very, very sensitive to lots of intensity, maybe people who already train a lot with a lot of circuits, that style of training, a superset probably not going to be good for you. In fact, you need to transition away from doing exercises without rest in between sets. You want to do maybe more standard strength training. If I took a client who is doing lots of hit training, lots of circuit training, overly stressed, under eating, that person would not be the person I would do supersets to. Now as far as who they're appropriate for, supersets are great when they're programmed properly. It's usually when you're transitioning from a traditional strength training, straight set type routine, then you go into the superset type stuff and supersets are phenomenal for the pump. They really maximize the pump in ways that other combos of exercises don't seem to do. They were favorites. It's a favorite tool of bodybuilders. I know in the 70s, bodybuilders did lots of supersets leading up to competition because it would enhance the pump, have them be able to have more stamina when they're posing on stage. There's a million and one different ways to apply supersets. As far as asking us about our programming on it, I mean, if you have our programs, we introduced that into map's aesthetic. Phase three, I think. That's the first time that we introduce it, right? No, no. It's an anabolic too. What part is it an anabolic? Phase three. Oh, phase three it isn't. That's right. You're right. There isn't. So, I mean, that's just it. It should follow that process, right? We do straight sets and you're doing heavy five, six repetitions in the first phase, then you go to the second phase where we're moving to more like 10 to 12 reps. And then when you start getting into the, you know, 15, 20 reps, like this is where supersets make sense because you're chasing, you're chasing more volume. You're chasing more reps. It makes that you're shortening rest periods a lot of times. So, this is make, this is where it makes sense to be programmed. But no matter what, if you, if you do this, it's ideal just like anything else to be kind of sticking with it for about four, six weeks tops. And then you want to move out of it. It's a great tool that just like many other things we talk about on this show, but where the people that shouldn't be doing are the ones that tend to gravitate towards it. I remember getting clients that. The abusers. Yeah. That's how they trained. It was, it was like a circuit always. Just living it. Yeah. Always back to back to back to back or even like tri-setting where they're kind of, they're going three extra like little mini, little mini circuits the whole entire workout.  But I never really did the programming of it. So I actually started working out at 24 fitness and then Adam was my manager at the time and was starting to take me from, you know, this is now do this one real quick.  Like my, my, I remember especially on the chest exercises, I felt like I like mastered everything in terms of like, like bench pressing and then going from like a bench press and then doing a fly or like multiple pushups right after that was just like so exhaustive, so new. Like it would just get to a point where I couldn't even move like my arms were so stiff and my chest was so stiff and it just had like great benefit, but it's really because I didn't do that at all. Like I just, I didn't do that. That was something that was a new stimulus. And so it definitely, it serves your body and then you can adapt to it, but then you need to move on. Yeah. So the re, so when you do supersets for antagonistic muscle groups, meaning, you know, like chest and back or biceps and triceps, the value of that, especially for the large muscle groups is it tends to help with form and function. So if I did like a good row and then went to a bench press, did you say function function? Yeah, you hit that. Was that free and slip? It helps you with your posture. It helps you connect to the back muscles as you're pressing, you know, that type of deal for the same muscle group. So like if you're doing like one chest exercise to another chest exercise or one back exercise to another back exercise, I like to combine a compound with a single joint movement. So compound and isolation and you can do one before the other or flip them. So there's different benefits to both either pre exhaust the muscle with an isolation movement, move into a compound or do the flip, do the heavy compound movement, then move to the isolation to really squeeze more blood in the muscle. Those are really my three favorite ways to use supersets.


Port Vale play host to Bradford City this afternoon, looking to lift themselves out of the relegation zone. The home side know that if they get the job done this afternoon, they could be sitting clear of the dreaded drop by tee time today. Incentives certainly. Visiting Bradford are on the hunt for the points too. They currently find themselves on a five match winless run. Port Vale are unbeaten in their last seven league meetings against Bradford at Vale Park. Early opportunity to get the ball in. I fall kindly here. It's stabbed away, shot from distance and it's turned away. Well, an early opportunity for the home side. Well, it has been close to play between these two sides. Four of the last five league games between these two sides have ended in a draw with Bradford winning the other one. Here come Bradford, scampering down the left-hand side and that will be a free kick in a very good position. What can the away side create here? It's taken short, taken quickly. Cross dug out and the goalkeeper just about does enough there. Back in it comes. And away for a corner kick. Port Vale with defending to do. Long throw down the line. There is Nicky Law getting out to the left-hand side. Chance to scamper forward here for James Meredith. Across comes Eagles to try and hold him up and he's done well there, Eagles. Here's Law. Clark out to the left. Nicky done. Might just be opening up here for an opportunity. Here is Law. Might get the strike away. He does. Charge down. Back out it comes. And that is narrowly wide for Bradford. Knocking on the door the away side. McMahon with the throw. There is Billy Clark who sends it out to the left-hand side. There's Meredith. He's always looking to get forward the left back. Has support from Nicky Law. Cullen back to Law again. Bradford looking to try and pick their way through. Brilliantly done. Still going. Chance still on entirely goal. Back in it comes. And that is a whisker wide. Very, very close from Josh Cullen. Not a bad effort at all. Kiko gets it back here. Able to squirm it down the line to Thomas. Jerome Thomas fires it across. Well kept alive and that's a save that needs to be made. Sent high. And it is one for Bradford to try and win back. They have done and it's a no-nonsense ball forward. It might turn into a very good pass. Chance to get in behind. The opportunity now turned away by the goalkeeper. And Nicky Law will look to try and keep this one alive. Now it goes for a throw into Bradford who turned defence into attack in a flash. Here's Law. But Maan wants to chase into the corner. Chance to burst forward and that will be a free-kick in a very good position. And it will be a yellow card as well. Jerome Thomas with it. And he doesn't put up too much of a protest. It is a free-kick in a very good position for Bradford. Chance to whip it in towards a busy penalty area. Good delivery and it's turned home. And it's Vance Law. The Frenchman gives Bradford City the lead. Well it looked a dangerous position for the free-kick and it proves to be so. Maan with the delivery. And Vance Law with the good header. Looking to try and restore parity here. Port Bale, it's clipped in. Paul's here to Thomas who fires it in. Back out it comes. It's bouncing around awkwardly for Bradford who can't get it away. Back across goal again. And that is a whisker away. Port Bale close to the equaliser. Here's Law. Bradford looking to try and work their way down the right-hand side. Snuffed out though by Port Bale. They try and spring and attack themselves. Paul giving away. There is Clark laying it off. Layed off by Charlie Wick. Law. Clark. Against the strike away, Clark. And it had to be turned away. Out for a throw when it goes. Here is Law. Nicely through the midfield. Just ran into a cul-de-sac there, didn't he, of Port Bale defenders? And Port Bale find a way back onto level terms. And it's Bradford with some defensive work here. That's a very good save. Colin Doyle had to make that. A reflex save by him. And Port Bale not far away. Still they come. Clipped ball forward into the corner, and that will be a free-kick. And what can they create here? Played short by Doyle. That's no foul, says the referee. Mark Hay with the referee in a good position. Space to move into here. Eagles driving forward. Looks to get it back instead. Kept alive on the edge of the penalty area. Here's Callum Guy. Sends the ball in. Good defending at the moment. Clipped ball back in. And there is the equalising goal. JJ Hooper. Oh, Port Bale didn't give it up down the right-hand side. And the cross was sent in towards awaiting JJ Hooper, who gets in front of the defender and turns it home. Forward by Eagles. That's an awkward one for the goalkeeper who does well. Colin Doyle under pressure, and he quickly bowls it out. Callum asking a lot there. It will be kept alive, though. That's a good delivery in towards Charlie Wick. Not far away. That was a whisker wide. Ball sent in towards a busy penalty area. Bradford with some defending to do. Port Bale will come again. Here's Callum Guy. Takes the shot on from range. Plenty of venom and pace behind that. Just a little too high. Forward by Callum Guy. Just over 15 minutes' remain of the 90. Bradford working out to the right-hand side. That's a neat ball to keep the attack going. Still going here, down the right. That's very well to dig out across. And it might fall here. Kindly it does. Alex Jones gives Bradford sitting the lead again. And are the away side on course for all three points. Great work down the right-hand side. And Alex Jones at the second bite of the cherry turns it home. Throwing down the line. Time is ticking away for Port Bale. And there we are. It is all three points for Bradford City. It's a brilliant win for them. Vassalot gave them the lead in the first half. Port Bale hit back in the second half through JJ Hooper. But it was Alex Jones with just about 15 minutes' remaining of the 90, who ultimately got the winner. Final score, Port Bale won. Bradford City 2.


IEEE, the Institute of Electrical and Electronic Engineers worldwide, is one of the largest organizations that represents the interests of the engineering community, especially the electrical and the computing engineers. An interesting point is, where do these people and this community stand amongst other organizations and bodies when it comes to engine specifications? In this module, we shall see how this organization has been able to exercise its influence in getting its technologies permeated and absorbed into the engine documentation and recommendations. First, IEEE is not exactly involved in this activity. It's not directly involved, but it has an indirect influence, and there are very obvious reasons to that. We can take the example of IEEE to be close to the IETF, which has also been instrumental in developing the engine documentation through an indirect manner, although it is important to state here that IETF also has a direct role to play. Coming back to IEEE, the importance of IEEE from the engine perspective is that it has the technologies which have been used for a very long time, which are all IP based. Let's look at the access side, the distribution side, the core side, or from the pure networking perspective, the LAN side, the wireless LAN side, the MAN side. So we can read out these technologies, and you will immediately know that these are some well-known technologies. The first one is the IEEE 802.3 standard, also known as the Ethernet standard. It's a contention-based LAN standard. It has been there for a very long time. If you remember, we had Ethernet at one megabits per second, then we had 10 base T, then we had 100 base T, then we had 1000 base F. It means these technologies have been existing for a fairly long time. Then we have the IEEE 802.11 or the Wi-Fi standard, also called the wireless fidelity standard. 802.11 starting from its first version 802.11 B, then A, then NG, then C, all these standards have been existing and have such a wide deployment that it is not easy to think about introducing NGN and not mentioning these. And at the MAN or the metropolitan area side, we have the YMAX, that is, it is also known as the WLAN on steroids. IEEE 802.16 is the YMAX, which is a metropolitan area technology. It has the base station and the subscriber stations that can be separated by kilometers. It is again a well-established technology, which works mostly in fixed deployments. Now you see, in the presence of such vast technology base and the existence of this IEEE standard for such a long time. The NGN community had to rely heavily on the existence of these technologies. If we look at the IEEE technologies, let's have an overview. Both the Ethernet and Wi-Fi are predominantly Layer 1 and Layer 2 technologies. That is, these are the standards which are based on the physical layer and the data link layer. The data link layer includes two sublayers, the medium access control sublayer and the logical link control sublayer. Since these two are the Layer 1 and Layer 2 technologies, we are talking about layers from bottom up manner. These two technologies are integrated and very naturally fit with the Layer 3 technology of IP. It means both these technologies are placed right below IP. Any other technology, any standard, any application or any service that can be encapsulated in an IP packet can very easily be transported using these two technologies. Now these technologies are mostly contention based. It means there is no resource reservation a priori. So a natural downside of it is that the quality of service is not guaranteed. So when the ITU-based NGN started considering incorporating these technologies into the NGN recommendations, then they also started giving a serious consideration to how the quality of service can be best provisioned on these two contention-based technologies.


Hello everybody! In today's video, I'll show you how to translate text from camera and dialogue, a voice message and handwriting with the help of Google Translate mobile app. It is difficult to underestimate the importance of this translation service, but most people tend to use only this standard translation window in the Google Translate app and overlook additional functions and features that can make things much easier for a tourist or even a common user. If you have ever used this translation service, today's video can be useful. In a few seconds, I'll show you in detail what Google Translate can do. Hello friends! If you need to recover deleted data, view or restore removed browser history. Hetman Software products will help you. Follow the link in the description. Download the necessary program for free. Install it and analyze the disk. The utility will show you the data you can recover, so you will be able to view it or get it back. In our channel and blog, you will find solutions to any problem, from installing an operating system or configuring it to fixing possible bugs and errors or optimizing mobile gadgets. Our specialists will answer any questions you ask in your comments under the videos or articles. Nowadays, although Google Translate app can work not only with the text you type on the keyboard but also with the text captured with the phone's camera, deal with similar tennis translations, handwriting, voice, and it can even translate from programs and entire documents. You can do it from the computer, in a browser window, or from the mobile app on your smartphone. The mobile app can be downloaded from the Google Play Store, so let's start as it goes with translation from camera. One of the extremely useful features in the mobile app is translating the text with the help of the camera in your smartphone. The ready translation will be shown in real-time mode instead of the text you are filming. Such instant translation would be very handy when you need to know what a street sign or notice means, so this feature must be invaluable for tourists. In order to enable it, open camera from the app's toolbox. When the camera is on, you can also open any picture you have taken before, which contains some text to be translated. Of course, you can type any text on the phone's keyboard and the app will translate it, but now Google Translate also supports handwriting. This feature is available both in the web version of the service and in its mobile app. In the first case, click on the pencil icon at the bottom of the input window. Having a touch screen or stylus is not necessary if you use this feature from PC. You can write from the browser, with the mouse holding down its left button. Below the input area words will appear which the service was able to recognize. In the mobile app, entering handwritten text is even more convenient. You can enable it by tapping on the pen icon, and then you can use your finger to draw letters or even words. This input method can be especially useful for those learning hieroglyphic languages like Japanese, Chinese, or Korean. The Google Translate mobile app can pronounce the text you have typed and even translate from your voice, but there's a feature even more useful than that, and it's called conversation. It lets you enable a special mode with simultaneous translation, so you can start a dialogue with a person from another country speaking another language. In this mode, the app will listen to every phrase and translate them into your companion's language, pronouncing the translation and showing it on the screen. To suggest someone to have a chat with the user of the conversation feature, select the language and tap the palm icon in the upper right corner. The screen will show a greeting message in the language you have selected. When using voice input, all you need is to pronounce the text, and the phone screen will display the text translated into the language you have selected. To do it, open the Google Translate app. In the upper part of the screen, tap on the buttons to select the language pair you need to use. Tap on the mic icon. If it's gray, it means the selected language is not supported yet. When you see the words speak now, pronounce the text you want to be translated. Okay, that's fine. But what happens if there is no internet access? Can this app work offline? Yes, it can. It's been long ago that the mobile app for Google Translate developed an ability to work even when the internet connection is down. Just make sure to download dictionaries for the languages you use most often. You can do it from the app's side menu by selecting offline translation. In this section, you can both save language packs to your phone's memory or remove them. Tap on the icon next to our language for download in the pack and tap on the recycling icon to remove it. You can save all translations, words and phrases to your own dictionary so that you can go back to them if necessary. Do it by tapping on the star icon. In the mobile app, you can see it next to the translation and in the web version of the service below the translation. You can access the list of saved translations on your smartphone by opening the main menu and tapping on Phrasebook. On PC, you can access this section by clicking on the star button over the translation area. Here is one more useful feature, translating text from other apps. Google Translate for mobile devices offers a very convenient option of quick translation from any application where the text can be selected. For example, you don't need to copy the text from a document, just highlight it and open the context menu by tapping on three dots. And then tap again for translation. Its window will appear over the window of the app where the text is opened and you can change the language or listen to the text if necessary. This function can be enabled in the app settings, in the section with a naturally expected name, tap to translate. If you ever need to translate a whole website, there are several ways to do it. For example, you can just copy and paste some text into the app. It's convenient when dealing with small fragments of text. Besides, you can copy a link to the website and paste it into Google Translate. In the window on the right, the link to the same website will appear, but then its contents will be translated into the required language. If you use Google Chrome, you will see the Google Translate icon to the right of the address bar when you visit a web resource in a foreign language. By clicking on it, you can get an entire website translated within a few seconds. Finally, the last option is translation of documents. And it only works with the web version of this service. It lets you upload a text document from your computer and view its translation. The list of supported file formats includes the following. You can see all the formats on the screen. To upload a document, click Documents here and give the path to a specific file on your computer. When the file is selected, click Translate. The text will open in the same window. At times, the quality of such translation leaves a lot to be desired, but this function can be useful when you deal with nothing but simple documents. And that is all for now.

All right Let's try to finish this part 3 you can sell on Liberty episode 81417 This will be 417. Okay. Let's continue on. I'll try to be quicker this time for part 3. Hopefully the final part my you know Family album and recordings of discussions with it.  No, and you're like a fascist loony if you think the answer is yes Well, does that mean that people can yeah, and no one believes that not the straw man I have the exclusive right to decide what is done With information that they have in their possession Yeah, yes, does that mean that they own it by definition? Yeah No, does that change if they release it in the public? Well, yeah weirdly Because now you didn't they choose to put it out in a place where other people can you know as soon as other people can see it Correct capable of copying it. That's all gonna happen. Correct. Good point So the like the short-hand hand answer to do you believe an intellectual property is No, because of what that question usually means But you have to have enough of an understanding of where these things came from to be able to back up and say Yeah, but what does it mean because well, it's not whether you believe in intellectual property, you know IP law exists It's whether you think it's a just law and where they came from is as I've explained many times and others have explained a patents come from government grants of monopoly privilege to protect people from competition and Copyrights come from the desire to prevent people from publishing things that the people in charge didn't want published So it's literally State-controlled legalized censorship. So that's where patent copyright came from. That's why they're wrong Because yeah, I damn have the exclusive right to decide what is done with a song that I wrote and is right here And I haven't told anybody else. They're allowed to hear it. Correct. That's perfectly justified. Nobody nobody's entitled to that Well, that's ownership. That's the definition of ownership. Yeah, by the way, let's suppose you're some very smart nuclear scientist and In your retirement all of a sudden one day you realize the solution to I don't know quantum gravity or How to do nuclear fusion?  Just so the point is just because you have information you have the right to keep secret Doesn't mean that's not criticizable. Now. I'm not criticizing someone for not releasing a song or a book that they have What I am criticizing is libertarians who's whose goal Presumably is to spread liberty Not trying to do it in a widespread basis and limiting it to a select audience Now for movies, it may be a little bit different. There's a mixture of motives there and that's perfectly fine But the point is as I've said many times here Simply saying someone you think someone's a jerk for not for intentionally Restricting the spread of their ideas on liberty which they think are important I think you can make that criticism But it doesn't mean that I'm a commie and it doesn't mean I'm denying your right to do that Or that you have an obligation To release your book in a free PDF doesn't mean you have an obligation But if I have the exclusive right to decide what's done with it So in that case, would you call it intellectual property? No, I wouldn't that's well because I define things and I've defined it many times But you you guys don't define anything so you've never really defined what intellectual property is Like you can call it that if you want But if you don't know how to think in these concepts and you don't know how to think from first principles like the First principle of self-ownership Then you start arguing stupid stuff that doesn't make any sense And so I had a debate Patrick Smith hosted Steven Kinsella Steven About intellectual property and at one point he decided I would be the bad guy if I made something it had nothing to do with the movie It was about a book or music. I don't remember which if I put it behind a paywall then I'm the bad guy Well, that's not what I said you said that people are jerks or poop heads For copying public information, which is us which is an unsupported claim So I simply said, you know if you're a libertarian out to spread the message and you have these libertarian books And you're you're actually not trying to make it widely available so that you spread these ideas of liberty, you know You're not being a good libertarian That's my view. Sorry And that was sort of like whoa, that's that's weird entitlement mentality commie think which I did not really expect It's not entitlement no one's entitled to it. It's not commie think Because it's not a property rights Believe it's simply saying I admire libertarians who put their stuff out there for free like Hans-Herman Hoppe does I do as I mentioned in our discussion Keith Knight did that with his recent book on volunteerism I admire when people do that when they bend over a little bit backwards to make their ideas a little bit more accessible to people I think that's good to us to spread true ideas about liberty to a wider and wider audience And also so it is available to poor people in other countries For somebody to say well as soon as it's out there You have no enforcement power and you have no right to use violence against people spreading it all over because they didn't agree to anything And you're not losing anything directly and that's what you say That's all that means is you're saying that IP laws unjust That's what it means to say you shouldn't use force against people which you say you agree with so you you agree with Exactly the words you I guess are putting into my mouth right now and say well it Hurts sales and stuff and you can you know debate that if you feel like it I don't think I have the right to use force on anybody once it gets out there But the idea that I'm the bad guy for creating something and then having it behind a paywall is Really weird and it is the opposite of understanding self-ownership then no it's not Having an opinion about someone's actions that are private rightful actions doesn't mean you deny self-ownership That's just ridiculous notion that other people are entitled to something I created No one said that that's a straw man. No one said they're entitled to it and this is true of anybody else That's just a weird completely turning the concept on his head and now suddenly I Don't own myself what I produce other people are entitled to which is no one all the way completely backwards From the principle that is the foundation for saying I don't have the right to punch somebody out for copying my song without my Permission once it's out in the ether. You don't have the right to punch someone for copying your song Without your permission even if it's not public yet, right? You don't have the right to punch people if they violate a contract So it's it's really weird watching people forget where principles came from and then clinging to the principle itself that isn't even a description of a symptom of the actual principle But if you get that wrong like gravity says things go down and then you see something go up then your brain explodes Because you don't really know what you were talking about to begin with So I'm sure there'll be plenty of bitter people mad about the fact that yeah, we're Not gonna make it easy for people to copy this without Our permission and without paying for it And by the way, I have no problem with you putting up a paywall for your movie at least in the for the first year Or whatever you whatever whatever works for you nothing wrong with that at all because this is a thing You're doing partly for profit The problem is sending DMCA takedown notices to Google to YouTube and in Odyssey using Copyright threats basically against innocent private companies and their users.  Call me much like we didn't have to give it to anybody at any price And we wanted to create this and we'd also like to make money off of it and Ironically and here's a thing that I mean it's been mentioned a million times But I'll end here by mentioning it again the people in the freedom movement who think they're being Courageous uber anarchists by intentionally copying it, you know without our blessing and spreading it all over the place You are doing what those in power most want to have happened which is to have independent pro-freedom content not be worth making Because a lot of people when you have to pay a bunch of money and put in a bunch of time and effort to make something happen Like I also want to actually make money off of it I did another video about the weird thing of people being resentful of someone successful But if people can't even break even or can't even get paid for their time. They're just not gonna make this stuff and So the thing that most helps government is if anyone trying to make pro-freedom content whether it's movies or whatever Can't make any money doing it and so They're only gonna pile in their time and effort if they happen to have enough money from some other source that they don't have to care about that Okay, some people do that they get a donor who's willing to subsidize something. This is how lots of Educational and charitable groups operate I wrote I wrote my books and my articles I'm sure you've written a lot of things even though you didn't get paid or get paid much for it Lots of things are done and written even though there's no way to get paid for it Right and if you're if you agree that there can't be copyright in a just world And if you would also agree that you can't use this some kind of contractual system to really keep the genie in the bottle Because you can't really impose onerous contracts on all of your paying customers They're not gonna sign it if it's got a big big penalty clause And if it doesn't have a big penalty clause, it's not going to do any good. It's going to leak So that means you're in the world you and I both want to live in with no copyright your business model Has to depend on some creative kind of business model or charity or donations Okay, try to make that work But then you have to exhort people to do it Instead of running around calling people to get a free copy that you enabled to be online publicly Calling them poop heads and jerks But you're making there be an obstacle so all these people who think they're being super duper pro freedom by spreading it around Like without our blessing without the blessing of the people who actually made the thing Your why should they get your blessing if they find a copy that's online. They have no contract Why do they need your blessing? You don't have the right to withhold your blessing And how long would this blessing last? The same as copyright term 140 years or something like that. So 15 years from now when you're Not even involved in this anymore and you've already either made your money or lost money But it's long and gone should they pretend like it's still under copyright and still not Copy it without paying a fee to someone or without your quote blessing Or or if you died so they have to go find your heirs because after all They need a royalty stream that you can count on to incentivize you retroactively back in time How long does this last this this obligation to kick in a few bucks whatever the Why it's a few bucks. I don't know.  I have 80 gazillion youtube videos. They're all free I don't try to copyright right and you did them even though you're not expecting money So you just said no one's gonna do anything if they don't get money. That's not true. I don't do anything To try to protect it. I expected to get spread all over the place because there's no big loss It doesn't take a hell of a lot of time and effort like I don't get paid for this Whoop, they do every once in a while somebody donates It's actually if if anybody's wondering why I made so many videos recently. There's one person There's one person who's been donating a chunk every time I make a video. That's why I made a bunch um and The 99.9 percent of people who view my videos never do anything Which is fine. You're not obligated to and I'm not obligated to make videos And I don't know why it should be difficult for people to understand both of them You're not obligated to me anything Yes, people are not obligated to donate money to you. They're not obligated to give the charity Although it's generally good and commendable when they do. They're also not obligated to kick a few bucks and to buy a hbo subscription Instead of getting a free copy of anarchists on a torrent And you're not obligated to make this content and you're not obligated to release it for free Everyone agrees with that I'm not obligated to give you anything. I want to make these videos I want to get them out there when I'm in a position to be able to do that I do it a bunch and if somebody else gives me a financial incentive to do it. I do it even more Because it helps me out and it frees me up from having to do other things to make money, but it's It's just weird how many pro-freedom people Don't know how to think from first principles And so they end up being cheerleaders for something that's a detriment To the attempt to the to get the message out there And think they're being already like these people almost never produce Stuff they're not the ones out there investing time and effort and money into actually creating something Because then they'd say yeah, even if I don't like to punch you out. I hope people would like appreciate This enough to pay like 10 bucks for the movie like whoop-de-doo. That isn't that much Not for people in the west It's a pay and if you think you're horribly oppressed because We ask that people pay that in order to see the movie then don't watch it like Or watch it by pirating it You're not being oppressed by not seeing something you didn't make And yeah, you'll be able to torn it from somewhere. I'm sure that it's already out there anyway But this weird twisted thing that happens because people Forget where they started with the concept of self-ownership And wander into these things which ironically turn into literally a condemnation of self-ownership How do you limit who can see what you produced? Okay You need a refresher course in the concept of self-ownership because that's the foundation of it So anyway, I'll stop ranting about that and uh And you know on the practical side of it That's why bands do tours because like, okay You know, yeah, you can tour this metallica album But you can't very well make there be a metallica concert with them in person in your living room So they'll do that and make money from that Correct. So the temporary 30 40 year business model of selling CDs and audio cassettes and atrex and lps Because there was no easy way to copy all this so you could sell your media And because copyright monopoly prevented knockoffs They could make lots of money and now that business model is dissipating because of the information age So they've had to change their business models a little bit rely a little bit more on touring So this is the point you have to Adjust to the current times and you have to find a business model that works If you can't find a business model that works Well, then it's not going to work Whose fault is that that's the fault of liberty or technology or just changing times. It's not the fault of someone who is Getting a pirated a pirated movie off of torrents Because you can't really fake a live physical event happening And So one of the things we do is do screenings in the movie with the director and us there and add an actual theater and all that um Because that's a fun cool event And it's something that like weirdly we actually encourage people to like if you later There'll be a dvd, but if you buy the movie and have friends over and watch it like fine It's not like we expect everyone to pay for it. Well, what are the terms then? because in copyright You can do that only for a home viewing audience if you have too many people Then it's a copyright infringement. I think some of the There have been a cease and desist letters against people having these NFL Super Bowl parties if they have too many people at their house Okay, so are your terms the same? If not, then what if I buy a copy for ten dollars and a show at a movie theater for 500 people Are you okay with that? What's what do I have your blessing? What's I mean? How do we know? There's no contract even though you keep talking about contracts Like you pay for you have it you can show it to whoever you want stuff like with our blessing I mean isn't uploading it to the internet showing it to whoever I want. I'm showing it to the whole world Okay, my audience is now eight billion people What where's the limit and of course people will spread it all over the place without our blessing too And we're not gonna like I said Set out a hit on anybody for doing that But uh, it's but you did You if I'm if my assumption is correct if this is why people are complaining You got uh the movies taken down off of odyssey And you too by sending a season sending a DMCA takedown letter, which is a copyright demand So that is a hit Just it's weird to watch people's brains make excuses to do whatever they want Instead of actually starting with the first principles and then building up what should I do Based on the foundational premise like like you guys must feel that Um You need to prevent as many unauthorized Pirated copies at least on the big platforms like youtube and odyssey and stuff To make your business model work. So you feel like you need to do that So but then you get criticized because it's unlawful and now you're making excuses for it By attacking other people for not having first principles or some convoluted argument. I see Instead of what can I get away with doing and then retroactively make an excuse for Which is what cops do all the time. It's what politicians do all the time It's a little bit sad to watch people who send DMC takedown notices I'm entitled to this thing. I didn't make and here's my weird mangled justification for why It's like no the fact that somebody shouldn't punch you in the face for it doesn't mean you're entitled to it There's a difference, you know And the fact that you have a right to paywall doesn't mean Uh, it's it's necessarily Not criticizable, although I actually don't think it's criticizable. I'm probably going to buy your movie and watch it or larkin Mr. Larkin I'm happy to pay for it Okay, and I don't see a problem with you paywalling it if I were you what I would have done Is that made sure all of my co-producers had an agreement that eventually you're going to make it Really cheap or free eventually, you know, maybe five years from now when your tail is run out So they'll at least eventually everyone can see it. But hey, that's just me So Anyway, I hope I evil greedy capitalist pig dog plot succeeds And a bunch of you are at the uh, Dallas screening and if so, I will see you there again august 26 Um, that's only I think 160 seat theater So it may sell out pretty quick. So if you want your if you want your tickets I don't know why Like this kind of point was to say that because if you get them and somebody else didn't but just giving you fair warning And I hope to see you there and we're going to do the thing We have a meet and greet for a little before the movie when we show the movie and then we have question and answer That goes for a while. Um, but we'll be there in person Amanda and I will be there and Andrew will be there and Gullman mr. Jones will be there and I forget who else is going to be there So if you want to be there for that momentous occasion and I very much think it's worth thing seeing in theaters I may be biased but See the description below because that says how to get tickets. Yee-haw And you know what? If you try to like peek in a window or sneak in the back of the theater They the people who own the theater have the right to stop you and like close the window and lock the back door Oh Justice at all. Yeah, everyone agrees with that. So why you can't stand your own people Stop trying so hard to be a force against spreading these ideas Oh So like when you sent the dmca takedown notice to odyssey you weren't trying to stop the spread of these ideas Okay, now for now. I'll uh, see some of you in dallas in two weeks. Yee-haw Okay, I want to say um, uh, I I admire what larkin does for liberty like I admire anyone who's a libertarian, especially people that put out content um, I just this all started from objecting to him saying that people who People who are pirating the anarchists Instead of buying an hbo subscription or jerks It's just I just don't agree with that. It's definitely not implied by libertarianism And I don't I see no argument for this I don't know why someone would want to I mean hbo's another one of these large corporations which benefits from various government privileges mainly copyright It's one reason. Um, and so I don't know why you would I would want to give money to hbo If I can avoid it um I like I said in the earlier talk, um I'd rather I'd rather, you know, send two bucks to the anarchist producers directly and by paypal as a donation rather than spend 20 bucks To hbo Because they're gonna get two cents out of that 20 dollars anyway from hbo So i'm just subsidizing hbo All right, uh, I'm gonna say sayonara now and uh Talk to you guys later You


This study examined the use of structure from motion, SFM, technology to create detailed 3D models of a vineyard in the Texas Hill Country. The study used an unmanned aerial vehicle, UAV, and a digital camera to collect 201 aerial images, which were then processed to create a 3D point cloud. From this point cloud, non-ground points were identified and used to generate visualizations of the vineyard's block structures. Additionally, the study investigated the correlation between these non-ground points and LAI measurements taken from nearby sampled vines. The result showed a moderate or two value of 0.567, indicating that SFM data could be used to accurately estimate LAI values. Furthermore, SFM data provides a higher temporal resolution than traditional 3D datasets such as those obtained through light detection and ranging, LiDAR. This article was authored by Jennifer L. Argenson and Adam J. Matthews.


Gold contract down $8.70 in 18.18 an ounce, we had silver down $0.58, $20.85 an ounce, light sweet crude off of $1.11 as $76.50, notes and bonds they got hit man, 10 near down $16.6, $1.10.29 the 30 year full point, plus 8 ticks at $123.27 and $Kingdala, $Kingdala up $635 ticks trade in $105, $232, Euro 105, yen at $136 in the British pound at $119, $1 at U.S. dollar. We get over and take a look at the S&P's folks, we'll bring them up, take a look at the spy, and what do we have here?
