First off, what is financial aid? Financial aid are funds provided to students to help pay for college expenses, and these consist of four categories grants, scholarships, loans, and employment. Grants are typically funded from either federal or state agencies. Scholarships can come from a variety of sources that being the institution itself could come from private resources. A lot of different places that scholarships may come from. Loans, those are either from the Department of Education, Direct Loan Program, or private alternative loans from the lender or bank of your choosing. Employment is what we call work study. Work study is financial aid, but it's not applied directly to the student's account. It's basically an amount of money the student can earn while working on an on-campus job. All students are eligible for some form of financial assistance once the FAFSA has been completed. So as long as a student has completed their FAFSA for the upcoming age year, which is 2021 for the upcoming fall, then they'll be considered for at least some form of financial aid. Internal scholarships, like our endowed scholarships, institutional scholarships that we have, do not require a separate application. The FAFSA submission is all that we need to consider a student for any of the financial aid that we offer. Now let's talk about how you apply. The FAFSA is available each year on October 1st. So for the upcoming academic year of 2021, the FAFSA for that year is actually available starting October 1st, 2019. So likely you may have already completed this. If not, our ECSU school code that you'll need when you complete the FAFSA is 002926. You want to use that to make sure that we receive the results. Starting the FAFSA, you'll need for yourself and your parent if you're a dependent student to sign up for an FSA ID. This acts as your electronic signature and your sign-in information when you need to access and complete your FAFSA. At ECSU, we have a FAFSA completion priority deadline of March 1st, which has passed. However, if you submitted your FAFSA prior to March 1st, and are just now selecting our school to receive the results, you'll still be considered a priority one student and will be considered for the maximum available aid that we can offer based on submitting your FAFSA early. Those students get priority consideration for different awards that we have control over on the institution and we'll use that information when we make our final determination of your eligibility and your financial aid award. So if you need to complete the FAFSA, the photo to the right links directly to the actual FAFSA application. You can begin that process right now. You've completed your FAFSA and submitted the results to ECSU. Now what? Once we begin pulling in results of the FAFSA submissions, some students have to complete verification to confirm the information on their FAFSA is accurate. For this process, we have an online portal that allow you to log in with your ECSU credentials. That's your email and password, and you'll be able to submit any verification documentation online, typically via PDF. That also allows you if you're required to submit tax documents to order them directly through the portal without having to receive or upload any additional documentation. Financial aid offers are made weekly, so as student FAFSAs are submitted as we receive those, as students are admitted throughout the semester, we'll begin reviewing FAFSA submissions and making award offers, and we'll send you an email to both your personal email on your FAFSA and your school email when your award offer is ready for review. New students receive an award offer email that includes helpful links to log in to Banner Self Service, where you'll actually review your financial aid offer, and some additional documents that will give you some information about the types of aid you've received, what your next steps are, and the financial aid terms and conditions, which you'll have to review and accept before you can actually view the financial aid offer. Students do have a 30-day window to accept or decline their financial aid through self-service. That is 30 days to review and accept the terms and conditions. That is your acceptance of the financial aid offer. You do not have to make a decision on your student loan offer by that point. It's just the terms and conditions, because that lets us know that you are interested in this financial aid offer that we've made to you. And it's important to remember that our primary method of communication is going to be email. For new students, we know that you're not yet in the swing of using your ECSU email a lot, so we do send items to your personal email that you submit on your FAFSA and to your ECSU email upfront. But as we get closer to the start of school, we're going to transition to sending those communications directly to your ECSU email account. So it's best practice to get in the habit of using that now. Check it often, and I will say that if we send you something, if you've received an email from financial underscore aid at ECSU or verification at ECSU, that is us letting you know that we need you to take some action on your financial aid. So be mindful. Check your email often. If you see something from us, please read it and take the action that we've asked you to do. And at the end of that, if you're not sure what you need to do or what it might mean, hit reply. Let us know how we can help you through that process because that is what we're here for. We'll let you know what you need to do, but if you're not sure, get back with us, and we'll walk you through the process every time. Our mission in the office of financial aid at Elizabeth City State University is to remove as many barriers to your education as possible. We understand the financial aid is not obvious. It's not simple. So our role is really to educate you on what financial aid is available, what financial aid is, how you can go about putting yourself in the best position to receive it. To that end, we assign students, when they're admitted, to a financial aid counselor. That's going to be your main point of contact, and that counselor is going to have your information at their fingertips whenever you come by, call, or email us so that, a, we build a line of communication directly to the financial aid office with you, try to build some trust so you know you have someone you can lean on when you have questions about whatever is going on and how it might affect your financial aid or when it's time to apply for next year. So what we hope is that you build a relationship of trust that you can ask any questions and even if you come by the office and your counselor doesn't happen to be there at that time or that day, that's no problem. You can speak with any one of us. We're always prepared to answer students' questions and there's nothing that we can't pull up and help you figure out. Our office is located in the Marion Thorpe administration building. That's the same building as admissions, student accounts, and the chancellor's office. We're very easy to find. On the second floor of Thorpe, we have a waiting area right in the main four-year. So anytime you need to come by and see us, please feel free to do so. You can see our hours and our contact information here in the presentation, and we encourage you to also follow us on social. We have a Facebook page and a Twitter feed that we use to communicate information out to students as well. And finally, here's some notes to remember as you complete your financial aid portion of the virtual open house. Be sure to start checking your university email. Like I mentioned before, we will send certain items to your personal and to your ECSU email, but as we get closer to the start of fall classes, we're going to transition to only sending communications to your ECSU email, and that's going to be our main mode of communication throughout the rest of your academic year. So it's important that you get in the habit now of checking that often and responding when the financial aid office reaches out. The FAFSA becomes available each year October 1st, so I know we're just getting your financial aid situation figured out right now for the upcoming fall classes starting August. Two months later, it's time to submit your FAFSA for the next fall. So make sure that you're mindful of that deadline or that as that date approaches. We'll send out some reminders as well. So again, if you're checking your email, you'll know that's coming up and you can complete it early. And the importance of completing your FAFSA early is that March 1st priority deadline, and that comes around each year. So it's passed for this year, coming up for next year. So if you make sure that you complete your FAFSA soon after October 1st as possible, then you're going to be in line to receive as much financial aid as we have available. Our resources are finite, so it is the students who have everything taken care of early that put themselves in a position to receive as much financial aid as is available. Students who wait until June and July run the risk of being eligible for certain programs that we have to offer, but funds not being available because they waited too long to complete their FAFSA. So make sure you're doing your FAFSA early, completing verification quickly on time, and making sure everything's done and ready to go way before March 1st. And as always, if you have any questions, whether it's specific to your situation, something that may be going on, you're not sure how to do a process, you've read everything that we've sent, and you're still uncertain, reach out, talk to us, let us know. We are glad to help. Our entire purpose is to help you navigate through this process. We know that it is not something that students inherently understand on the outset. We're not going to ask you to read volumes to reach a level of expertise that we have already when we can just share that with you when you have questions.  And if it's not a question that's for our office to answer, we'll put you in contact with the folks that are. And in closing, I would like to say thank you. It is my pleasure to serve as a Director of Financial Aid at ECSU, and we look forward to serving you for the next two, three, four, five years from now to graduation. Best of luck.


I don't want people to think that nuclear reactors can't be explored. Pressurized water reactors cannot be explored. They have a specific design to be very stable in general. OK, so how about the weather? How does the bottom actually have a housing field? So typically, there's many different designs to cause and to produce a nuclear explosion. But the most common one is you take a plutonium sphere, which is about something like 20 centimeters or 10 centimeters big, a whole sphere empty inside. And you put this very specialized explosive round. So in the beginning, this plutonium is too thin for this chain reaction to really increase. So if a neutron comes in and slams into a piece of plutonium, it may be one or two neutrals to come out. But it's so thin that most neutrals will go through. This will be a dying dog process. This will be like a subcritical kind of a process. It's stable. It can sit. Nothing happens. But how do you get it to sub? How do you get this K minus 1 to become positive? So remember, I said two things. It depends on materials. No, you cannot change the material. You build the bomb, you're not going to choose. And it depends on geometry. Geometry can change very well. So how do you change the geometry of this thing very fast and very subtle? What you do is it explodes out there for a reason. Because they're exposed to detonation in a very, and it's very uniform manner. So because of detonation, and this pushes the pit, this uranium thing is called the pit, or it's biodegradable, into a much smaller size. And it becomes a lot thicker. So remember that analogy between thin uranium and thick uranium. Now when the neutrons come in, they cause a fission, which the model replicates, irrevocates itself, and K minus 1 becomes highly positive. So suddenly, what was a dying-out process becomes violently explosive. And it rises extremely fast. And you know that this enormous rise is actually the time scale over here. So this is on the microsecond. I apologize for tying labels over here. But basically, if you do the analysis of the thing, and you calculate how long does it take for a number of the fissures to be equal to the number of nuclei inside this pit, you find out that it takes only 0.6 seconds. You end up burning all of this plutonium in 0.6 seconds. And enormous amount of energy, at least in a tiny amount of time. So as a result, this plutonium becomes extremely hot. The temperatures rise to higher than the temperature inside the core of the sun. Humans have been able to achieve temperatures that are higher than temperatures inside the sun, not outside. Outside the sun is cold. Inside the sun, 100 million degrees. So this point is holding the temperature. All this energy is released in very short amount of time. So this is like the basic principle of how a fission bomb works. So how about the fusion bomb? I told about the fact that fission bombs are incredibly powerful, but they can make more powerful to use another post. So I talked about the breakup. Fission means essentially breakup. The term I wrote down in Russian in Armin. By the way, I forgot to say, the talk is in English, but if you do not understand what I'm saying, because of the terminology I'm using, just raise your hand, I'll translate or someone can translate for the actual excellent experts here who know things actually better than I do. So fission means breakup, bozhanum or zileh in Russian, right? Fusion means simply, Russian is basically joining things together. Or German, German, European, German, European. So if you take two nuclei and force them together, which is not easy because they have electrostatic repulsion, they have same charge for the European, but if you somehow force them together or get them to go so fast that when they're running to each other, their repulsion is not enough to stop them, they come close together and their nuclear forces cause it to attract and they slam into each other. And in the process there's, you can also release energy in that way. So you can release energy by breaking down uranium and you can release energy for putting light elements like deuterium, trichium, helium, lithium, all together, right? And that's essentially how the sun works. The core of the sun, most of the young stars are made out of helium, that track each other with deuterium, trichium, lithium, and they produce a behavior, behavior, nuclear, until they run out of this and then the star dies, that's going to spread. So the sun is one example and you can also use this to produce thermo-nuclear historic. So I won't go too much into the details of how exactly you... So how do we do this, if you start to figure out how it works in the sun, there is a lot of energy in the sun, because the temperatures are so high that the states are moving so fast that they totally overcome the electrostatic repulsion, slamming each other, the nuclear forces stick together, they release energy, but how do you do it on earth? So well, remember what I said about nuclear weapons in the previous slide, that it gets to 100 million degrees like the core of the sun, so you can do that, right? Essentially, the thermal nuclear weapon consists of the self of a basic nuclear weapon on top, and this material, which is typically lithium dihydrate, so lithium and deuterium, simply because it's easy to make, you cause a detonation in a, what's called a primary, this produces lots of X-rays, which cause ablation on secondary and basically force the, compress the secondary and force the temperature of the secondary to go to 100 million degrees. At that point, you ignite fission, and you'll have this enormous detonation. Essentially the belief is that these things can be made arbitrarily large. If the weapon dropped in Hiroshima, it was 20 kilotons, the side bomb of Bomba, which was built by soccer, was 50 megatons, and there were talks that you could go to a gigaton, essentially, like you can keep adding this fuel in all directions, it keeps burning and burning. So how big are the bombs? Like, lots of people that I talked to when talking about nuclear weapons, because there are so powerful people, it must be enormous, the size of this building, they are actually fairly small. So this is what the first bombs look like. This is the Fat Man, this is the actual bomb that was dropped on Nakasai. This is actually, this fellow over here is Ramsay, Norman Ramsay, I mentioned him earlier. Do you know who Norman Ramsay is? Who uses GPS here? I do. Only two of us. Nobody else uses GPS in Armenia? GPS works because of this guy over here. He developed the atomic clocks, because of atomic clocks, which people put in GPS which allows them to very precise and calculate time, and then that is used to reconstruct the position of the planet.  So this bomb was about five tons, right, which is fairly big, it seems like. This is the first, well this is a model, not a real thing, this model is the first thermonuclear bomb, it's called Castel Bravo, it weighted about 10 tons, it was actually never fueled it because it's very hard to deliver a 10 ton bomb. Fairly big.  This is like in the 40s and 50s, how big are the bombs today? So they are fairly small. This thing, I told you about in the picture, this is again, it's not a real thing, this is like a model. It's about, it's hard to read, but it's 20, the 40 centimeters big, it's 20 kilograms, like most of us can carry. It comes with a backpack, so special forces soldiers can carry, get on it somewhere. And because it has enough, it's enough power, it's about less than what the erosion bomb was, what this one should be practically about. So can we carry this? Of course, everyone can carry this. We can carry it, too. This is even smaller, okay, this is an artillery shell, they were able to stick a new weapon inside the artillery shell that should be from Canada.  This is like a French officer, he's expecting a recoilless rifle to take the full term, with basically the same weapon as this one, the different forms. They're tiny, they're extremely small. And something to realize about nuclear weapons, when you think about, can someone develop a nuclear weapon? Nuclear weapons are 1940s technology. Like, this is probably newer technology than in terms of time, the complexity is different. So, this is the, okay, this is actually what I call a fission bomb, this is like a regular nuclear bomb. How about this thermonuclear bomb that can be made enormously powerful? This is how big they are. This bomb over here is W-80, warheads have 150 tons of TNT equipment. Like a whole row, I'm sitting over here, these guys are very bored with you guys, they're testing each one of them. Essentially, the primary that was over here, the regular bombs, and the secondary fuel is in the second time. This bomb is about, what is it, 6, 9, 7 times more powerful than... So they're extremely small, but they have to be made smaller and smaller and smaller. For the obvious reasons, why? Why do you not make your bombs so small? Because it's not enough to have a bomb, you have to drop it, you have to deliver it. So the whole process of delivery is actually quite more complex than making the bomb itself. Making the bomb is just the first step. You also have to figure out ways to do how to deliver it. So at this point, I won't go into the details of how things have evolved, but there's three main ways in which, let's say, Russia, United States, and Britain have their arsenal packed, you know, but they'll continue. There's three main ways, often it's intercontinental ballistic missiles, makes miss Tarmacain, by the speakers here, strategic bombers like this 295, which can fly very long distances and very high altitude. And also in the 60s and 70s, people came up with ways to launch these missiles from under the water in some ways. There's a whole story as to why people had to do these summits, had to do these terms with the way nuclear war would play out. What are the delivery times? I mean, these ones are slow, but how long does it take to deliver, to launch this one for it to arrive to its location? Depends where you launch it from, where it gets, but something like no more than half an hour. One from launch, it arrives at half an hour. Which means that if the opposite side has a warning system, which would typically be very large arrays of radars, they have at most 15-minute warning that something is coming at them. So you can imagine the situation.  And if something happens, okay, if you think that there's an attack, you have 15 minutes before this bomb starts blowing up next to you. So you have to make a decision very quickly. You have to transfer a deformation to the president. He's the only person who can over-assess counter-strike. And the president has minutes to make decisions. Something like estimated 10 minutes to make a decision which ultimately might result in the extermination of humanity as I'll show later. There's an instruction much bigger than anything humanity has ever seen. So the real problem with this is it's not only the fact that nuclear war is horrible, but it's even more horrible that there's a risk of accidental nuclear war. One side might think that there are big attacks. And this has really happened. And they might launch an attack on the, basically retaliatory strike on the other side because they think that there are big attacks. So you can imagine essentially extreme, you know, mass murder is committed by mistake, by simple... By false alarm. What's that? By false alarm. By false alarm, exactly. It's called false alarm. And has this happened before? Has it come close to rest? Oh yes.  I mean, we are like, there's been at least four cases where Native Americans thought that there were being under a massive attack or the Soviets thought that there were being under a massive attack. And it was almost a matter of luck that at some last minute they understood that something is wrong and that they should come down and not, you know, escalate this. And in fact, one of the times when this happened in Soviet Union was under the rule of Andropov. He was extremely suspicious of the measures. And people believe that if he had heard the thing, I think that probably started the war. Okay.


What's going on everyone Sam here with late in sports cards, and I'm ripping five twenty twenty-two Panini gold packs for Jim G.

So it's coming to Baltimore And we get the plays of derrius smith and priest. Oh all revenge games are homecoming depending on how you take it Yeah, all depends on that man All depends. He said I'd rather see a picture I can freestyle without cursing. I can control what I say. All right. We're gonna see we're gonna see we're gonna see Should do a draft on madam before the actual draft play GM Ah, I don't know Living Virginia Beach area, which I could come up there and check your cast out in football game. Oh, yeah I'm definitely recorded. Hey, Virginia Beach ain't that far.  Look at you. Oh boy, please Please oh three hours. Oh I thought it was a little bit closer than that Can't wait to see our time and say the thump on obj. Oh, let's see Oh, he said like five six hours. Oh My fault. I'm over here thinking florida stuff, man I'm over here thinking florida stuff my fault. Yeah for an old Raven. Yeah Yeah Oh, yeah Oh, yeah I want to see it, but it's not that serious. Yeah. Yeah, me I want to see it, but I'm not like all the Marvel heads and stuff like that far from it. Never have been won't be They're cool and all that and I enjoyed him, but I'm Yeah, I don't all these things like I told you on another video. I don't remember which one it was but We we never go to the movies Never never go to the movies. Um the The last time We went to the movies was actually called his first time going to the movies And that's when we saw that movie smallfoot, which was really really good Um, and then the time before that that we went to the movies Uh, it was me and her me my wife was when we saw a jungle book That lets you know how often we go to the movies So, yeah, because I mean Yeah, it's just We I mean we got netflix we got, uh Hulu We got um I don't know what I'm missing. No, I watch it But I'm not like I ain't gonna be the first guy in a movie theater. Like hey, hey, hey I got my ticket And and I'm not knocking anybody who's doing that because like different people got different things that they enjoy Have I seen infinity wars? Yeah That was the last that was the last avengers movie right? Yeah with all the snapping and all that Yeah, um, but I yeah, it's it's whatever to me Now I'll be the first one there for like a football game or something But oh crackle ain't crackle free. So yeah, we've got the netflix the hulu. Um Just started using red box like a month ago, but only used it twice and We used it to watch Um crazy rich agents Um crazy rich agents was really good. I had already saw the movie It's funny because I had actually watched crazy rich agents when I was on a jet blue flight Either coming from baltimore going to baltimore for I forgot which football game it was whether it was the browns or the The the the charges game, whichever one it was. Um He said speaking a crazy agent um, but I had watched that movie and I and I think my wife and her sister was at our house too So they wanted to watch a movie. So I had picked that one because it was really good. Um, but then Uh So we watched that on red box and the other movie we watched on red box was the hate you give Oh my goodness that movie. Whoo That movie was too much That movie was a powerful movie Wow But anyway, um Yeah, man Get popcorn time or what's that you can watch movies for free or something Do they have it on uh amazon on on a fire stick? Is that an apple something? popcorn time I never heard about it How much longer am I gonna be live? I never know I I never know I never know Popcorn time I gotta I'm gonna forget that. I know I'm gonna forget that. Um, can somebody whether you do it on instagram Or twitter. Can somebody DM me to download popcorn time? Please? Um, because I know I'm gonna forget I I just I know I'm gonna forget and I don't have anything to write with right now I know I'm gonna forget. He said you might as well stay up all night. What time is it? I don't even know what time it is What time is it? Oh 11 46. Okay. Oh appreciate that. Okay. Thank you, mate. Appreciate it. Thank you. Okay. He did it already Thank you so much appreciate that man. Um So yeah, because like I said, I will forget I will forget because this It ain't all up here all the time, man Appreciate that a j brown Thank you Eight Kobe goat 24 must be a Lakers fan. Do you need a cozy chair? I mean, I got a chair right there I don't know.  I'm actually thinking about live streaming madden now That would be wild Yeah, they did say it's bootleg Um play 2k. Oh I was getting I actually started playing 2k last night for the first time in a long time I started playing 2k and then again Uh, my boy my boy falconator my guy live up Excuse me. Um, he Because he man, I feel for him because it happens like this every single time He's been wanting to play madden for a minute and that's my guy. He's been rocking with the channel for years Years like even on the old channel. Um, but he had wanted to play madden and every time he wants to play madden I'm either not home or I um I tell him yes, I say, okay, we can play right now And then he won't show up for like 15 minutes and like man, what happened? And then somebody else will ask to play so then I'll play them and then he'll be like, okay I'm ready now, but I'll be in the middle of the game with them And then sometimes with madden with me, I I can't play too much. I cannot play too much I cannot play too much. Um, so With that being said, um It happened yesterday to where he had He sent me a message saying he wanted to play and I was like, okay And he said I said, all right, let's play.  So but I didn't record it. Oh man. It's all good though. Can't record everything Yeah, I'm only good for a couple games at best. Then mistakes Oh, the mistakes come with me regardless, man. Whether it's the first game second game, whatever. Um, but Mistakes they got they come regardless with me. I think with with madden though with me, um I'll call that black. Oh, yeah, I've been hearing about all that stuff, man um, but with me with madden, um, I think my biggest My biggest thing that I do is when I do uncharacteristic stuff Uncharacteristic things that's that's when I make the mistakes usually when I do my regular stuff I won't really make many mistakes if I can do my regular stuff But if I play madden on xbox and ps4, um, but when I if I make a mistake Then you say like run more than four plays Hey, if somebody could stop them Go for it man. You mean more than four four formations Because I do more than four plays. I got about I got two out of that formation that I form and um Oh with the two receivers on the left side I got two players out of that formation with the single back with the three receivers on the left side I got two players that I use out of that formation Then with my gun doubles I got one play that I use out of that formation in my gun trio I got one play that I use out of that formation Um, so that's four formations right there, but it's more than four plays Then I got my spread formation my gun spread where I use One play out of that formation And I'm I'm closing my eyes because I can't look at the chat and concentrate on which plays that I use um And oh goal line to goal line. I use that a little bit um When I'm on a goal line Oh, if I need to first down and it's like inches or something And I got two plays that I usually run out of goal line. Whether it's the qb sneak or the play action. Um What else Yeah, I don't I don't run many plays and I'll be telling people that man I tell people that I don't I don't run many plays my um I yeah, I don't I don't run many plays uh my My offense is super simple Super simple Um, if you can stop it cool, most people can't only a few have um, and it's not even a matter of people stopping it it's more so uh you just you forced me into mistakes and Yeah, exactly people know but can't stop it But yeah, my offense is super easy It is not there ain't no sexy offense. There ain't no crazy offense. That's it. It's it's super simple And like I said, if somebody can stop it cool if they can't which most people usually can't Oh, well That's only you And again, like I always say in the videos, man Y'all have the film Y'all got the film. I don't have film on y'all y'all got film on me Y'all got plenty of games y'all got game in the in these games I'm talking and telling you what I'm looking for what I want to do So y'all hey, that's y'all lost man. If y'all can't stop it you got plenty of ways, man But always put someone on the spot Hey, but that's my thing too. Uh with my offense Um Offense is cooler with it. I don't know which one I enjoy more.   I'm garbage at defense. I love it, man Who's playing fortnight? Not me.  That's it That's it um So, yeah, my offense is super simple. Everybody's often saying super simple like that Mine's just it's super simple super simple And that's that I run like Like uh, yeah, like five maybe six formations at the most per game and If If you can get me out of my rhythm if I mean if you can get me out of my comfort zone Which not many people really can Then that will help you a lot And people as people already know all my stuff is already out there. I ain't afraid to give like what I do I love the deep passes. Y'all know that I love the deep passes. Love them. Love them. Love them. Love them. Love them Love the deep passes Love it. Um The run game is cool. Whatever if it's working.  Uh Engraving vids team keep it clean right there Right there. Hey appreciate it. Stay focused. Thank you and you stay focused All you got to do is bait him on a deep route Uh, I mean you could try that And I mean I'm always looking for the deep routes. I'm always looking for the the big play You already know, I'm always looking for the big play, but I'm not I don't really force it. Yeah, I don't force it I don't I don't force it. Um because Sometimes I do some crazy stuff now But yeah, man. Yeah, y'all got me wanting to play matter now, man Y'all got me wanting to play matter, man um So cool, man. If you can use a pic like engraved That that is the um, that is the the most fun part, man Playing on cj mosey will soon to be Somebody else because it doesn't seem like they uh, they trust peanut and Kenny young to be those guys. Um That's the that's the the favorite my favorite part though, man I think yeah, I think I actually do like defense better than offense Playing defense better than offense because In our offense, it's like Yeah, it's a it's a chess match or whatever like and I love just I think defense is more fun to me because With defense it takes more more of your mind And it takes more of you getting to know your opponent's tendencies I love that van bradley got cut uh like a month ago Him and uh the cornerback. What's the cornerback's name again? What was the cornerback's name that got cut with van bradley who jaylon hill jaylon hill I used to use the air reading. Oh, yeah, I used to use him a little bit, too I was more on ray lords, but I used to use the free user the free safety a little bit, too Um back a couple years ago. I used to do a lot more free safety I used to do a little bit a little bit of both with a lot more free safety But over the past couple years, it's just like 99 um been user in the uh the middle line backer I absolutely hate Who's the worst son you've played? Huh? Oh, who's what do you mean? What do you mean as as far as the worst sub that I play you mean Beat down like I beat them down or they beat me down or what what you mean? Before you stream you should go through and see what you would rate yourself What do you mean? You talk about that matter Who would you like to see us grab as a pass rusher? I don't know man. I don't know none of these dudes coming out of college man So I couldn't even tell you I couldn't even tell you it's hard to use a safety. Yeah. Yeah, it's a lot harder in the middle linebacker because I think What makes it harder is just determining your assignment I think that's what makes it harder because I feel like with the middle linebacker Yeah, you have a good amount of ground to cover, but you have more help Oh your ratings a matter of you will play.  That's it. That's it That's it Can I dab please wow somebody ain't they that y'all ain't asked that since the regular season man Wow, that's gonna be a no, though that that got to go Uh, it's way too hard to use the middle lineback against me. Really?  I hate I I don't know how people do that. I was playing somebody a couple days ago And they would user in the D line I don't know how people enjoy playing madden like that. What's up Ravens elite and and I'm not knocking people I just don't get it if because if I if I use it to D lineman I would be so bored I would be bored Like I'm just I'm just trying to pass rush to stop the run by getting off a block Like I would be bored all game Like the middle linebacker. Oh you get plenty of action because you stop the run Oh, you did come here a little bit. We've been here for 171 minutes. So you came a little bit late You've been a little bit late, but it's all good, man. Um But I'll get so bored Like when I when I was playing the guy a couple days ago who was user in a D lineman I'm like wow this Like he's really like he's user in a D lineman. He must be getting bored. He's got to be getting bored But yeah um Who has the best db grouping madden If it ain't the Ravens, I don't know because Ravens man you Ravens got like Ravens got it, man Ravens got I used to be l1 l2 I think on playstation with a D lineman you could get a lot of pressure. Yeah, you could but it's I just think it'd be so boring I never use a D lineman those cats got to Work Yeah, I think I might strain some madden right after this man for real. Um, what's my team on 2k, uh, the Cavaliers Because that's the team that my my player is on um And But if I play the regular game, it'll be the wizards, but I Now playing basketball like 2k is a lot different than watching it But if I'm playing like I play some my pocket, I don't even play that I think I played that maybe like two or three times total this year. Um I can play to my career all day. I can play my career all day Um, I gotta I think I got a small fold or powerful. I think I got a small fold So I'm a three Um, and it is I think you're shooting and driving. I don't even remember.

A plant-based diet is thought to have played a significant role in human evolution. And the consumption of whole-plant foods and even just extracts has repeatedly been associated with decreased risk of aging-related diseases. And by healthy aging, I'm not talking preventing wrinkles. What about protecting our brain? What are the most dreaded consequences of dementia with aging? Problems moving around? Difficulty remembering things? Dementia robs older adults of their independence, control, identity? What can we do about it? Well, fruits and vegetables help reduce the risk of other chronic diseases. Might they work for brain diseases as well? There's been a proliferation of recent interest in plant polyphenols, as agents in the treatment of dementia. There are 4,000 different kinds found ubiquitously in foods of plant origin, but berries are packed with them, possessing powerful antioxidant, anti-inflammatory properties. There's a subset of a subset called anthocyanidins, natural blue-purple pigments, uniquely and specifically capable of both crossing the blood-brain barrier and localizing inside brain regions involved in learning and memory. And that's where we need it. The brain takes up less than 2% of the body weight, but may burn up to 50% of the body's fuel, creating a potential firestorm of free radicals. So maybe these brain-seeking phytonutrients and berries could fight oxidation, inflammation, and increase blood flow. So this raised a thought-provoking idea. Maybe a nutritional intervention with blueberries may be beneficial in forestalling or even reversing the neurological changes associated with aging. So did researchers give blueberries to people and see what happened? No, as I noted in an earlier video, they gave blueberries to rats. It would be a decade before the first human trial, but it worked. Blueberry supplementation improves memory in older adults, suggesting that consistent supplementation with blueberries may offer an approach to forestall or mitigate brain degeneration with age. What other blue-purple foods can we try? Conquered grape juice had a similar benefit. Improving verbal learning, suggesting that supplementation with purple grape juice may enhance cognitive function in older adults with early memory decline. Why use juice and not whole-conquered grapes? Because then you couldn't design a placebo that looked and tasted exactly the same to rule out the very real and powerful placebo effect. And also because it was funded by the Welch's Grape Juice Company. This effect was confirmed on a follow-up study showing for the first time an increase in neural activation in parts of our brain associated with memory using functional MRI scans. But this brain scan study was tiny, just four people in each group. Same problem with the blueberry study. It just had nine people in it. Why haven't large population-based studies been done? Because we haven't had good databases on where these phytonutrients are found. We know how much vitamin C is in a blueberry, but not how much cyanidin. Until now, the Harvard Nurses' Health Study followed the cognitive function more than 16,000 women for years and found that higher long-term consumption of berries was associated with significantly slower rates of cognitive decline in this cohort of older women, even after careful consideration of confounding by socioeconomic status, meaning even after taking into account the fact that rich people eat more berries. The first population-based evidence that greater intakes of blueberries and strawberries were highly associated with slower rates of cognitive decline. And not just by a little bit, the magnitude of associations were equivalent to the cognitive difference that one might observe in women up to two and a half years apart in age. In other words, women with higher intake of berries appeared to have delayed cognitive aging by as much as two and a half years. Why not just take some kind of anthocyanidin supplement? Because there hasn't been a single study that found any kind of cognitive benefit just giving these single phytonutrients. In fact, the opposite. Whole blueberries appear to be more effective than individual components, showing that the whole is greater than the sum of its parts. These findings potentially have substantial public health implications, as increasing berry intake represents a fairly simple dietary modification to test an older adult for maintaining brain function.


Michael Donovan is the most wonderful, wonderful man. Yeah, and Michael Donovan, you guys probably wouldn't know who he is, but he's a very well-known and been around a very, very long time, one of the premier top, if not the top theater casting director here in Los Angeles. And he had cast me and divorced the musical as well as Camelot at the Pasadena Playout. And there was this last thing I auditioned for, and no one does this, but Michael sent a message back, not just to me, but to everybody who auditioned, because it was to everybody and said, just wanted to thank all of you so much for your beautiful work, the parts have been cast and we wanted to let you know that those choices were decided, wishing you all the best. It was wonderful watching you work and can't wait to watch you again. Nobody does that. No. Nobody does that, but Michael Donovan does. I wish more people would. I love Michael Donovan. Because you don't want people just waiting around thinking they can still get it, just let them know. Exactly, yeah, he's a great, great guy. Today we got a video from Just K. We've seen a few videos from him, this is a cinematic film, it's India, I never expected this, and he goes into the country and I think we've seen something from him a while ago, but it was very cinematic the way he does his vlogs. I'm thinking lots of drone shots, right? Yeah, yeah, this is another one from him he did about a month ago. Cool. And I don't know what he didn't expect, but let's find out, here we go. That's the Taj Mahal. What exactly is India? It's a country. I did not know that. I labeled it as a life-changing escapade. And few have deemed it as an alteration of Albu. Regardless, all have sensed the profound impact it has on them. That's cool, sure. People come to India as one person and leave as another. Therefore, the issue that whatever your current situation or quest may be, India holds a myriad of opportunities and experiences for you to explore. India, India, it's a country of celebration, a situation of mind and body, soul. Oh, wow. He says that if anyone wants to give their life for the rest of the world, they will do it. And in the calm, in the bond, in this life, we will never let anything come to pass. We are all here. And gradually, it reaches the peak of the Mahod. So I've been asked to visit India many, many times. So I knew that eventually it needed to happen. For some reason, I always delayed my visit, but there I was, roaming the streets of India. At first, the sounds, the smells, and the sides of the country were overwhelming to say the least, but in the best possible way. Everywhere I turned, there was something new to discover. From the bustling bazaars filled with colorful textiles and spices to the tranquil temples with their intricate carvings and peaceful atmosphere. But most of all, I found myself drawn to the people of India. Their warm hospitality and genuine curiosity about me and my travels were a constant reminder of the country's rich, cultural heritage and deep sands of community. I savored every moment I spent chatting with locals. But of course, no trip to India would be complete without visiting the most iconic landmarks and its festivals. And as the celebrations of holy were just around the corner, we visited India right on time. That's awesome. For this craziness and spectacular show. What do we do before drugs? As we rose higher and we entered the streets, we could notice lots of helicopters. We started with laughter, music and excitement. Holy is a festival of colors that marks the arrival of spring and the triumph of good over evil. It's a time when people forget their differences and come together to celebrate life. And this is exactly something we were about to embrace to its fullest. Very much.  I've had my parties in life with this. This was an incredible. And beyond the chaos, I could see the genuine warmth and hospitality of the Indian people. Holy is also a time for introspection and renewal. Where it meets the vibrant festivities, families gather at temples, seeking blessings and offering. So now, we're really getting into the streets of Holy and enjoy this amazing day. Let's see what happens. You're covered, man. Have some pang. After days of the colorful holy festival, it was refreshing to slow down a bit. India is the oldest civilization on earth.  You can see evidence of the country's ancient past mingling with its vibrant present. In my eyes, it's this fusion of old and new that makes India so unique and endlessly fascinating. We did not go there on our trip. It's a great wall of China. You only truly experience a country when you experience its people. Our world is changing, sometimes for the better, sometimes for the worse. Where's he from? But if we think about it, we see something that we tend to know. I can't get his accent down. Minidara. Which is the fact that we're becoming more connected worldwide. The world is starting to understand that beyond some minor differences, we're all very similar. That's what my trips these days are all about. And traveling really does enhance this understanding. So as we visited India, we knew we wanted to learn more. Learn more about its people. Fire dancer and flow movement artist from India. He explained to us that fire dancing has a long history in India and is closely tied to the country's spiritual traditions.  So our goal was to combine our passions for art to make something truly unique and that's exactly what we did. Oh, that's awesome. There's unity and diversity. This is what India constantly reminds me of. As we stand here in Varanasi, one of the oldest and oldest cities in the world, I am struck by the incredible diversity of people, cultures and belief that co-exist here. Varanasi is considered to be one of the oldest cities in the world with a history that dates back more than 3,000 years. The city is located on the banks of the Kangas River and it has been an important cultural and religious center since ancient times. In fact, the city is so old that it is often referred to as the Eternal City. It is believed that Lord Siva, one of the most important deities in Hinduism, founded the city himself, making it an important pilgrimage site for Hindus from all over the world. Traveling has been a passion of mine now for a long time. And lately, as I explore new places, I love to dive deeper into the history of countries and learn more about these people. For me, these cities are places of both wonder and contemplation. And this is what makes traveling so rewarding. It's the chance to experience new cultures and connect with people from all walks of life. These places are a reminder of the incredible diversity and beauty of our world. And a testament to the power of travel to open our hearts and minds to new experiences. With that being said, traveling has always been a deeply enriching experience for me. Whether it was tracking through the rugged mountains of Mongolia or exploring the vibrant markets of Indonesia, each new place I visit brings with it the wealth of new experiences and insights from the fascinating cultures and traditions to the breathtaking landscapes and wildlands. And what I take home with me from these experiences is more than just memories and photos. It's a deeper appreciation for the world around us and renewed sense of wonder and curiosity. And it's when we got to know about a new place all the way in the north of India. And after a couple of days of doubts, that's where we headed next. Bye, bro. Thanks for everything. I thought it was gonna be one here, but apparently it's gonna be minus 16 degrees. So I'm not sure what to get. I think I'm just gonna get some thermos because I got a jacket with me. But where we're going to is gonna be minus 16 degrees. Let's get a thermo. So we just got to Delhi. We spent the entire day in the car. So that's one day of traveling. Now, 11, 10. We've been waiting for two hours, hopefully the bus comes. But it's definitely all the time. But yeah, we got eight or nine hours in this bus. Bro, that was the longest drive ever. And all the roads at one point, we're all swirling like that. So I couldn't even sleep. I'm pretty good, bro. But it's also very cold. All right, all admitted, I'm somewhat impulsive. But this level of spontaneity was even new to me. So obviously this is not gonna be our drive for the next day. Because obviously doing nine hours in this car wouldn't work. Let's get to the taxi. Good morning. We're still on our way to the keynote street. First, we did nine hours to get to Delhi. Then we did nine hours for the night. And yesterday, we did eight hours. And now we're here. I unfortunately got very sick, so we didn't vlog yesterday. Bummer. We got 30 hours left in total. So I think seven today and six tomorrow. Then we'll find you there. So it's a day later again. We haven't advanced yet. Because yesterday we were stopped by the police. And we need permission to go to the keynote street. We got four hours left to go. We finally got permission. But our visa expired in three days. So we're going right now.  And tomorrow we leave again back to Delhi because we got to get some flight. We'll be sure we don't stay in the country while I'm not having a visa. So let's go. You don't want to do that. All right, so we finally made it to keynote street. I cannot believe that this morning. We thought we were going to return. But now we're actually here. It's at 4,000 meters. So that's why I got exhausted by this walk already. All right, so so far, we haven't seen Indonesia. But it says that we're on the side of the zone. So we'll probably meet the people who live here. Keymonstreet is a Tibetan Buddhist monastery located at 4,200 meters of altitude. It's far out in the Spiti Valley of Himachal Pradesh, India. Its history, architecture, location, and way of life are what makes this place so unique. A place so special is meant to be understood. However, unfortunately, it took us five days to get here. So we were only able to stay for three hours before heading back. But I guess that's what traveling is all about sometimes. It's clear that Keymonstreet is not just a physical place, but a living and bodimental development of Tibet and Buddhism. It's a place where visitors can connect with something deeper and more profound than just the sights and sounds of a tourist attraction. Wow, oh, I thought that. I don't feel like that's where it was going to end. I guess he only had three hours.   But that was a really nice video. It was beautifully made. And he got. I think what we've echoed a lot about when we went to India, we've only been once. Oh, no, sorry, you've been. I've been three times. Three times now. Twice to Kolkata. Yes, and then our trip, the OSR trip. That's right. But it's the people and the beauty of the culture. And the age of the place. Different.  Yeah, it's an often remark. And it's true that Andrani will tell folks, my city's older than your country. It's not harder than America, though. No, it's not. It's a baby country. But this also very much, I don't know about you and Steph, but Andrani and I, for us, we get a windfall of money. We don't want things. We don't want to buy things. We want to see places. That's for us, as we would much rather spend money to go see all the different possible cultures and places in the world that are on our checklist of places to go experience rather than have things. Yeah, it doesn't interest us. Me and my wife aren't big gift-givers. Yeah, not at all. It's necessities and having the bare minimum you need to just get by as a real boon for quality of life. And just to be able to food and travel for us would be the top investments we would want to put money into. The only reason I'm looking forward to my kids getting older is because the money they'll make for you. Yes, be easier to travel with them. Yes, much easier when they get older. And then you'll do what I was just doing, where all your kids are traveling on their own and they're gone.   Don't you dare say that. Yeah, but this is a beautiful video. We're really well-made video. Got to see so much in so little time. It's a great camera work. You had to travel that long just for three hours. I would have stopped it way before that because I was like, I don't want to. Yeah, I don't want to get there and just have two hours. Yeah, that would... I mean, I get it, you're at least there.  You could have experienced so many other things in other places in those five days. Yeah. No, I would have too. That happened to me on the first trip. You know the story about going to Calcutta for the first time and I didn't know you needed an e-visa. I thought you just needed your passport. And it's a very long story. It was a nightmare. I was supposed to be there for a week and I went to the airport, couldn't go. Went to the airport, couldn't go. By that point, I knew I was gonna be traveling only to be in Calcutta for three days. And we said, and Johnny and I agreed, if I'm not on the plane after day three, it's not gonna be worth the trip. But thankfully, I was able to get on the plane. It was a hectic trip for you though, for sure. Yeah, it was, but it was worth it. Anyway, it's a great video. Let us know if there's more from him that we should react to in any of the videos we can react to down below. Josh!


So, service design as we all know can be a little bit confusing and in this video I want to talk about designing a service versus designing four services. I think there is a fundamental difference and it causes a lot of confusion and frustration. As a service designer one of the things that comes back over and over in our field is the fact that we rarely get to implement what we have come up with and the reason is that you usually in a project don't have the authority or the power or the mandate to design a holistic end-to-end service experience. It rarely happens. I'd say 99% of the cases you're not designing completely new service and even if you were there are so many moving parts. So if we're not designing a service what are we doing then? I think in most cases service designers are designing the context in which a service happens. So I've referenced music as a metaphor in another video about service design and I think it works well in this case as well. So the metaphor here is that you're designing the environment in which the music has to emerge. The musicians will play the music but you as a service designer can design the lighting. You can make sure that the seats are arranged well. You can make sure that an audience actually appears. You can make sure that the right kind of music is played. So if we look at what we're doing as service designers it's often designing the context for which services happen. And that brings us to the case that we might not be designing a service but we might be designing for services and that's quite a fundamental difference. So yeah that's my take. Is service design really about designing a service or designing for services? What do you think? Let me know. Leave a comment down below and if you want to see the video where I talk about how service design is related to music and especially jazz music check out the video over here because you can learn more about that. See you over there.
