Now, as gunshots echo across the wind-swept snow-covered reaches of the wild northwest, Quaker popped wheat, and Quaker popped rice. The breakfast cereal shot from gun presents the challenge of the Yukon. It's Yukon King, swiftness and strongest lead dog of the northwest, blazing the trail for Sergeant Preston of the northwest mounted police in his relentless pursuit of lawbreakers. Gold, gold discovered in the Yukon, a stampede to the Klondike in the wild race for riches. Back to the days of the gold rush, with Quaker popped wheat and Quaker popped rice, bringing you the adventures of Sergeant Preston and his wonder dog Yukon King as they meet the challenge of the Yukon. Tasting is the test. Pour out a heaping bowl full of delicious, crisp, Quaker popped wheat or Quaker popped rice. Top it with milk or cream and fruit.  Then take a big spoonful.  Those crisp king-size kernels of Quaker popped wheat or rice are so deliciously tender, so nut-like in flavor, you want more and more. Taste them tomorrow morning for sure. Crisp, fresh, Quaker popped wheat and Quaker popped rice. Shot from guns. Sergeant Preston had many acquaintances among the miners who had staked out claims in the Yukon territory. And one of his oldest and best friends was an elderly sourdough named Zach Porter who owned a small mine near Whitehorse. Late one afternoon, the sergeant stopped off at Zach's cabin. Hulking! Hello, Mrs. Hulking! As he halted his team, Zach's pretty young daughter, Daphne, came out to greet him. Hello, Sergeant Preston. Hello, Daphne. Well, goodness, but it's nice to see you two again. How's your father these days? He's terribly worried. Oh, what about? Well, he's in debt. He's afraid he's going to lose the mine. I'm sorry to hear that. Sergeant, won't you stay for supper and try to cheer him off? Well, all right, Daphne. Oh, I'm so glad. Come on inside. Later at dinner, remembering what Daphne had said, Sergeant Preston kept the conversation going along cheerful lines throughout the meal. It wasn't until later when he and Zach had pulled up their chairs around the fireplace that he ventured to speak about the mine. Daphne says you're worried about losing the mine, Zach. Well, that's a fact, Sergeant. I'm gosh awful worried. The only thing I can do? I wish there were, but I'm afraid not. Looks like the bank is going to foreclose on me in a couple of days. Well, won't they grant an extension? I don't know, and I don't aim to find out. But Ebony's a Finley's manager of the bank now. Even here old pals used to be partners in the old days before the crime they crushed. Yeah, that's just it. We used to be partners till we had that falling out two years ago. I haven't spoken to every Finley since. I sure don't aim to go crawling on my knees to him now, asking any favors. Oh, Dad, that's silly, and you know it. Just because the two of you got on each other's nerves and had an argument...  I don't even want to talk about your mule cuss. And while I think of it, I don't like the idea of you and that nephew of his seeing so much of each other. Dad, Ray has nothing to do with that argument between you and his uncle. How soon do you think you could pay off the loan if the bank did grant an extension? Oh, I could pay it off in four or five months right after the spring cleanup. But I don't aim to ask for an extension, so there's no use talking about it. Well, Zack, you're just being stubborn. Of course he's being stubborn, Sergeant. That's what I've been telling him all along.  Well, Zack, just what do you intend to do if you don't ask for more time to pay back that loan? Bank will foreclose on me and take over the mine. That's what'll happen. I'll be in a mighty awkward fix. No two ways about it. Don't you think you owe it to Daphne to do everything in your power to keep that from happening? Well, hang it all, Sergeant. All shucks, I don't know what to do. You and Finley never had any differences back in the old days. You went through a lot together before you struck it rich. Yeah, I reckon that's true. The whole doggone territory was a wilderness in those days. We were among the first sourdows up here. I'd left Daphne and her ma back in the States. Eb and I prospected together, bucked the trail together, and by thunder plenty of times we've starved together, too. Eb hasn't forgotten that any more than you have. You can follow your pride and bring yourself to ask for that extension. He may jump at the chance to make things up with you. Yes. Why don't you do it, Dad? Dad read it all. I just don't like the idea of... Oh, well, all right. For your sake, Daphne, I'll do it. The following day, Zack went to call on Eb and Ezer Finley at the bank in Whitehorse. When Zack walked into his office, he was smoking a large cigar and studying a financial report through gold rimmed eyeglasses. He glanced up at Zack haughtily. Just have a chair, my good man. What's that? I said have a chair. I'll be with you in a moment. Now then, let me see. Your name is... You know blame well what my name is, Eb Finley? Oh, yes. You're old Zack Porter. Of course. Old Zack Porter? By thunder! I'm to keep your voice down and state your business promptly. I presume you've come to pay back that loan. Well, you presume wrong. I haven't come to pay it back. It's due next week, you know. Certainly, I know. Well, I suppose I came here to see Eb. That's what I'm trying to find out. Eb, you're going out of your way to make this hard for me. Pulling all his high hat stuff? I assure you, I haven't got the vaguest idea what you're talking about. Well, the fact is I'm not in a position to pay back that loan just now. Well, what do you expect me to do about it? Like a dad-granted fool, I came here hoping you'd grant me an extension. An extension? That's what I said, but I can see right now the whole... I'm sorry, Porter, but I'm afraid I can't risk the bank's money any further on a man of your character. Why, you... Either pay back the loan on time or we'll have to foreclose and take over your money. Oh, I've taken enough of your guff, Eb Pinley. And here, get that cigar out of your mouth. Right now, now, see here. You tight-fisted old skin-flint.   Or I'll have you thrown out of here bodily. Oh, I should have known better than to come in here in the first place. You can't change a leopard's spots. And by thunder, you can't change a pole cat's smell. Why, you... You can't found an old buzzard. Get out of my office. Don't worry. The sooner I get out of here, the better I'll like it. I need a change of air. A sack opened the door to leave. He collided with Eb's nephew, young Ray Finley, who was just entering the office. I beg your pardon, Mr. Porter. Oh, so it's you, eh? Yes, sir, and I'm glad I bumped into you this way. I mean, I'm glad we met. Well, that's a dang sight more than I can say. I wanted to talk to you. Talk to me? About what? About Daphne. You see, I just proposed to her and she accepted it. Well, that's not... She what? She accepted my proposal, so now I wanted to ask you for your consent. Are you young whippersnapper? If you think I'd ever let Daphne marry anyone but the name of Finley, you've got another thing coming. But...  I not only refuse my consent to the marriage, but from now on I forbid you to see my daughter again. Is that clear? Yes, sir. Now, if you'll stand out of my way, I'll clear out of this skunk's den. Yes, sir. At that same moment, a man in a fur parka with a muffler drawn across the lower half of his face was knocking on the door of a cabin of the outskirts of town. Eh, what do you want? Wait till I pull down this muffler. There. Hell, yeah. It's me all right, Ron.  Yeah, yeah, come on, hurry up. How in blazes did you get loose? I thought the constable was taking you to jail up in Dawson City. He was, but I managed to slug him and break away night before last.  What'd you come here for? He's probably on your trail right now. Don't worry. I knocked him out and swiped his team. It'll be at least 24 hours before he can hope to get back here to Whitehorse. Yeah? And then what happens?  A fortune on your sled? That's right. I'm willing to cut you in on the deal. Just wait till I get off this park, eh? And I'll tell you all about it. A few moments later, after Calmore had removed his park and mucklucks, the two men pulled up chairs around the crude pine plank table. All right. Now let's hear this deal you're talking about. Whenever Niza Findley had me arrested for embezzling money at the bank, I swore I'd get even with him. Yeah, yeah, yeah. So what about it? Well, I figured out a way to get revenge on him and rob the bank and the bargain. And just how do you figure on doing all that? Listen, Findley has a key to the bank, and he knows the combination to the vault. So?  We'll throw a scaring to him and force him to tell us the combination to the vault. Keep talking. Soon as we get the combination, we'll tie him up, take the key, go clean out the bank.  That way I'll have my revenge and there'll be no witnesses left to connect you with a crime. Hmm. That's a mighty slick scheme, gal, ma. There's one thing you've forgotten. Such as what? Findley don't live alone. His nephew lives with him. Or were you planning on killing him, too? Ah, there's no need of that. I know a thing or two about that nephew of Findley's. I've got it all figured out how we can get him out of the way. Now, here's what I've got in mind. We'll continue our adventure in just a moment. You know, fellas and girls, I was thinking about the swell Halloween party I went to last week. Hey, what goes on here? Who are you? I say, who are you? I am a ghost. A ghost? Yes, my name's Pete. Oh, so tired. I thought you looked a bit pale. Well, I've been busy lately on the go. What with Halloween and haunting houses and things. Oh, I'll bet you're tired. I'm hungry, too. Real hungry. What? No breakfast? Never do. Well, no wonder you look so thin. Why, I can hardly even see you. No offence, man, of course. That's okay.  Oh. Sure. Never found a breakfast I really liked. Well, did you ever try a breakfast of Quakerpuffed wheat or Quakerpuffed rice topped with milk or cream and fruit? No. Say, you don't know what you're missing. Swellest breakfast you ever tasted. Good for you, too. Man, old man, Quakerpuffed wheat and Quakerpuffed rice are crisp, tender, king-size kernels of premium wheat or rice shot from guns. Guns, did you say? Yup. Quakerpuffed wheat and Quakerpuffed rice are shot from guns to make them bigger and better tasting. Guidea. Why don't you try them? I'm going to. Well, sir, fellas and girls, at least Pete the ghost is on the right track. And don't you forget to stow away those delicious nourishing breakfasts of Quakerpuffed wheat or Quakerpuffed rice topped with milk or cream and fruit. Ask mom to keep a good supply of both delicious kinds on hand at all times. You'll go for rice or wheat shot from guns. That's the original, the one and only Quakerpuffed rice and Quakerpuffed wheat shot from guns. Now to continue. Following the unpleasant scene that had taken place at the bank, Secretary Findlay went to Sergeant Preston and asked him to intercede between the ebb and the sack. And so late that afternoon, the sergeant dropped around to Ebb Findlay's office at the bank. Have a chair, Sergeant. Thanks, sir. Now, what can I do for you? Well, about that loan to the sack porters, don't you suppose you can see your way clear to grating him the extension? That'll reprobate. You'll get no more time for me. Either he pays off the loan when it's due or I'll foreclose. Is he taking such an attitude? Because he insulted me, that's why. Well, I know Zack has a quick temper, but let's be honest, then. You sure you didn't say something to make him angry? Well, I'll admit I patronized him a bit, but that's no reason for him to call me a pole cat and a tight-fisted old skin-flint. Matter of fact, I was intending all along to grant him the extension after I'd had some fun with him. I see, and the fun got out of hand. Zack Porter is a low-down, back-biting old scoundrel. I found that out when he and I were partners, and by thunder, I see no reason to change my opinion of him now. You can't convince me of that any more than you can convince yourself. You and Zack went through too many hardships together in the old days. You know, perfectly well, there's lots of affection between the two of you, but you're both too stubborn to admit it. Well, I'll tell you what I'll do. If Zack will tender me a full apology for those names he called me, I'll grant him that extension. You're asking a lot of human nature, and it's worth a try. I'll stop off at the mine this evening and tell Zack to come see you. That evening, Sergeant Preston had to travel a few miles north of town on an official errand. An Rudy stopped off to see Zack Porter and Daphne and told them about his visit to Ebb Finley. I had a talk with Ebb Finley this afternoon. What did he have to say, Sergeant? Personally, I'm not interested in what the old tight-wad had to say.  But I'll say this much, Zack. If you'll go into town tonight and talk things over with Ebb, I have an idea. You'll both see things in a different light. I'll do nothing of the short. Oh, now, Dad, be reasonable. I tried being reasonable with the old buzzard and you see where it got me. Just between ourselves, Ebb admitted he'd been a bit overbearing, but I think he realizes that was a mistake. Why don't you have one more talk with him? Oh, yes. Please, Dad. Well, Dagnabit, I... Well, all right. I'll see the old skin-flint once more. Somewhat later that evening, at Ebb Finley's house in town, Ebb and his nephew were seated around the fireplace when they heard a knock at the door. Maybe that's Zack Porter. I'll go see. Ray got up from his chair and walked out to the vestibule, which shielded the rest of the house from blasts of wind that blew in whenever the door was open. It's funny. There's no one in here. As he shut the door, Ray suddenly noticed an envelope lying on the floor. No matter. It's addressed to me. Who was it, Ray? No. When I opened the door, there was no one there. However, it was apparently slipped this letter under the door. Well, it is. Let's see it. It's for me. Dear Ray, it's very important that I see you at once. Please meet me right away in front of the warehouse at the steamboat landing. And it's signed Daphne. No, she's probably cooked up some scheme to get Zack Porter's consent to your marriage. If you ask me, you're mighty lucky he will give his consent. I'm sorry, Uncle Ebb, but I don't feel that way. I'm going to the warehouse and find out what this is all about. Putting on his parka, Ray left the house and headed toward the river. The Yukon had long since frozen over and the steamboat landing was dark and deserted. When he arrived at the warehouse, Daphne was nowhere in sight. It looks like she isn't hearing you. Kelly, I'd certainly like to know why she wrote me that letter. As Ray paced back and forth in front of the warehouse, a figure suddenly materialized in the shadows and closed in behind him.  Hey, what is this?  That's better. Now, I'll show you what it's all about. All right, Uncle. I've knocked him out the coast is clear. So far so good. What'll we do with him? We'll time up and gag and dump him somewhere out of sight. Then we'll go back to the house and attend to Ebb Finley. A short time later, Zack Porter arrived at Ebb Finley's house. Ebb opened the door and answered to his knock. Oh, it's you, Porter. I reckon you know my face by now. It hasn't improved any of that's what you mean. Come into the front room. I'll tell you right now it wasn't my idea to come here. Well, it wasn't my idea either. Sergeant Preston, talk me into it. Well, you're here so you may as well take off your pocket and sit down. I suppose you want to continue our discussion about that loan. It's not a question of discussing it. Either you'll grab me the extension or you won't. I don't aim to get down on my knees to you. Well, as I told the sergeant, I'll take the matter under advisement. If you'll tender me a full apology. If I'll what? If you'll tender me a full apology for those names you call me this morning. Ebb Finley, I'm not tending you an apology for anything. In that case, there's nothing more to be said. There's a heap more to be said. I'm going to say it right now. I always knew you were a low-down, sneaking, tight-fisted, hammer-headed old reptile.  If you don't get your carcass off these premises, I... Well, hold on a minute while I answer the door. Don't worry, I've got plenty more to say before I leave here. Shitless... Finley, don't try slamming that door. That's right. Back to settle up the score with you. I thought the constable was taking you to jail up in Dawson City. That's what the constable thought too. But he learned different. Keep your hands up high. Come on, Ronco. And consequently, the crooks didn't suspect that Ebb had a visitor sitting in the front room beyond the vestibule. Now, start backing up. But Zack had overheard everything and had grabbed up a footstool to use as a weapon. He waited tensely until Kalmar emerged into view. I told you I'd get revenge on you, Finley, and now I am. Why don't you work, Jack? Why are you... Ebb Finley had grabbed Kalmar's gunhand as he reeled under the glove from the footstool.  Ebb and Zack fought desperately, but the struggle was too uneven. The crooks were younger and much more active. They finally subdued the two elderly men and covered them with their guns. Oh, then, Finley, one more yell out of you and I'll blast you into the middle of next week. And the same goes for you, Porter. What are you intending to do? First of all, you're going to hand over the key to the bank. Then you're going to tell us a combination to the vault. I don't know such things. You'll kick through all right after we've worked you over a bit. You know, Ronco, I'm really going to enjoy making this old buzzard talk. About an hour and a half later, Sergeant Preston arrived back in town. He was driving his team along the riverfront on his way to the police post. As he passed the warehouse at the steamboat landing, King suddenly halted and then veered off into the shadows on one side of the building. What's wrong, fella? Find something? All right, King, I'll come over and have a look. A moment later, as the sergeant's eye strobed to pierce the darkness, he realized what King had discovered. A man tied and gagged. Better carry you out into the moonlight, fella. I can see you better. Wraith, isn't he? Wait a second. I'll have this gag off you. Thanks, Sergeant. All right. I'm pretty cold. There must be a lump on the back of my head. Otherwise, I'm okay. Cut these ropes. Tell me what happened. I got a message tonight asking me to come down here to the warehouse. It was signed Daphne, but it must have been a trick. When I got here, some fella shoved a gun in my back and then knocked me over the head. Any idea who he was? No, it's a complete mystery. His voice sounded rather familiar, but I never got a look at his face. There. You're free. Thanks again. Wasn't it Dickensley's suppose his game was just a practical joke? And so he has a queer sense of humor. Ray, it looks to me as though someone wanted to get you out of the house tonight and keep you out. I can't even see if your uncle's all right. Meanwhile, after forcing Ev to hand over the key to the bank and reveal the combination of the both, the two crooks had carried out the robbery successfully and were just returning to the house. Ho, ho, ho, ho, ho, ho.  You had over 200,000 in currency out of the bank vault. Sure.  All we gotta do now is get rid of Porter and Finley and we'll hightail it to the border. Roping their way through the darkness, the two crooks made their way into the front room and lit the lamp. Well, well, well, here they are. Just the way we left them. Take off Finley's gag, Uncle. I want to hear what he has to say for himself before I put a bullet in his head. Shoes in, Calmar. It's a cylinder. Wait a minute. It's off. By the thunder, Calmar, you won't get away with this. Who knows? Maybe you're right. But don't do you any good even if the law does catch up with us. Anything else you'd like to say before I pull this trigger?  What do you think? Hey. Wait a minute. Someone's stopping outside. Help! Help! That's it. Keep your hand clapped over his mouth. What places are we going to do? Sit tight. That's all we can do.  What if he opens the door and walks right in? We'll greet him with a dozer-led. The two crooks waited tensely to see what would happen. A moment later, they heard the front door open and steps enter the vestibule. Who's in there? This is Sergeant Preston, Northwest Mother Police. I'll give you until I count 10 to come forward with your hands up. With their attention focused on the sound of the sergeant's voice, the two crooks never realized that King was creeping up on them quietly from the back room of the house. Ray Finley had let him in the back way and the slight noise of the back door opening was covered by the sergeant's voice. Suddenly, the great dog sprang at Kalmar. No! No! Where did this dog come from? Help! Help me, Runko! Get him! Away from that gun, I just shot out of your hand. All right. All right, I'm doing it. Call up this dog, Moundy. Get him away from me. So you escaped from the council, eh, Kalmar? Watch him, boy. Will I pick up his guns?  All right, down, King. Get up on your feet, Kalmar, and don't try any false moves. You and Runko are under arrest in the name of the crown. Ten minutes later, the two crooks had been handcuffed and Ab and Zack had been untied. Well, the sergeant, you sure showed up in the nick of time.  Well, I imagine it's not the first bad situation you two faced together. No, that's a mighty true statement. Which reminds me, Zack, I never did thank you for the way you pitched in and tried to save me when Kalmar first showed up. Oh, shucks, no need to thank me. I was looking out for my own skin. Ah, we sure piled into him, didn't we, Ab? I'll say we did. It was like old times, before the Mounties came to the territory. Those were the days. Oh, Dagnabby, Zack. I reckon we've been a couple of old fools holding a grudge against each other the way we did. Tell you the truth, I've wanted to make it up with you plenty of times, but I was too dog-gone stubborn. Yeah, same here. Oh, by the way, about that loan, you may have that extension. Take all the time you want.  Sure, sure.  I couldn't have stopped Daphne from marrying you anyhow once she made up her mind. Oh, thank you, sir. Say, while we're passing out thanks, I reckon we all owe a big debt of gratitude to Sergeant Preston and King. That's right. We sure do. We've already had our thanks hearing what's just been said, haven't we, King? Yes, boy. This case is full. In just a moment, Sergeant Preston will give you a preview of Wednesday's adventure. The Ghost Riders.  Mom likes them because they're quick, ready to serve with milk or cream and sliced bananas or other fruits. The youngsters go for wheat and rice shot from guns because they're exploded up to eight times normal size.  And Dad reaches for the big red and blue package of Quaker Puffed Rice or Quaker Puffed Wheat with the picture of the smiling Quaker Man because it's such a refreshing breakfast dish. And so nourishing. It gives the whole family extra food values of restored natural grain amounts of vitamin B1, niacin and iron. It's a deluxe family breakfast, so economical, too. Remember, the original crisp, fresh Quaker Puffed Wheat or Quaker Puffed Rice comes only in the large red and blue package, a fine modern package with a sealed inner lining. That lining serves to doubly protect the flavor and Christmas until the moment you pour it into a bowl. For that reason, Quaker Puffed Wheat or Quaker Puffed Rice is never sold in bags or bulk. Buy both delicious kinds tomorrow. And now, here is Sergeant Preston. Sergeant Preston reporting, sir. Well, Sergeant, I see you got my message. Yes, sir. I came right over. I'm glad you did, Sergeant. A strange and vicious gang is operating in the vicinity of Selkirk. I want you to get down there as soon as possible. You say strange gang. What do you mean by that, sir? They wear white robes and white hoods every time they strike. It's a dangerous assignment, Sergeant, and they'll stop at nothing, but I want them brought in. I'll take King and leave immediately for Selkirk, sir. Come along, King. According to the reports to headquarters, the ghost riders are as vicious as any gang that ever operated in the Yukon. When Sergeant Preston and King try to trail them, it may mean death for one or both. Be sure to hear this exciting adventure Wednesday. These radio dramas, a feature of the challenge of the Yukon Incorporated, are created by George W. Trendle, produced by Trendle Campbell Enterprises, directed by Fred Flower Day, and supervised by Charles D. Livingston. The part of Sergeant Preston is played by Paul Sutton. They are brought to you every Monday, Wednesday, and Friday at the same time by Quaker Puffed Wheat and Quaker Puffed Rice. The breakfast cereals, shot from gun. Your best bet for hot breakfast is Quaker Oats. The giant of the cereals is Quaker Oats. Delicious, nutritious, makes you feel ambitious. The giant of the cereals is Quaker Oats. Yes, if you want to be a star in sports and school activities, make your hot cereal Quaker Oats, because Quaker Oats helps grow the stars of the future. You get more growth, more endurance from oatmeal than from any other whole grain cereal. Remember, Quaker and Mother's Oats are the same. This is J. Michael, wishing you good bye, good luck, and good health from Quaker Puffed Wheat and Quaker Puffed Rice. So long. This is the Mutual Broadcasting System.


Hi and welcome to People's Dispatch. We're here from the International People's Assembly in Solidarity of Bolivarian Revolution and against imperialism. We're with an activist from Kenya. Can you present your name and your organization? Hi, my name is Ruth Nyambura. I am from Kenya, Nairobi, Kenya, and I am part of the African Ecofeminist Collective. The African Ecofeminist Collective is a collective of feminists working on the intersections of ecological justice. Various intersections such as issues to do with mining, challenging the spate of multinational corporations in the agrarian sector, for example, in Monsanto, they're trying to take away people's food, land and seeds and just doing a lot of research and organizing with various social movements on the continent on these intersections. Can you tell us a little bit about the current political context in Kenya right now in the region? Okay, so we are sitting at a very interesting time in the country. We had a heavily disputed election in 2007, in August 2007, where the presidential elections were disputed, and the Supreme Court annulled the results, and then we had another election which was boycotted by more than half of the country. And the incumbent actually won it. I leave that to everyone's imagination when over half of the country boycotted an election, but still the incumbent wins. So we are basically in a country that's in midst of a serious crisis. We have a huge debt crisis. We've been borrowing left, right and center from China, from Western countries. We have corruption, which of course corruption has to be put within the context of neoliberal capitalism actually facilitates corruption. So it's not just an African phenomenon where Africans are corrupt. Capitalism facilitates corruption. And other than that, we're also in the midst of a femicide crisis. Thus, this past weekend, human rights defender Caroline Muatha was buried. The police say she died in the midst of a botched abortion, but we are disputing that narrative and saying that she was murdered because of her work, and everything is literally falling apart in many ways. The privatization of services. Of course it started in the 1980s because of structural adjustment programs, but now we seem to be back into the hold of another austerity push because the country is basically broke. We are paying off debts. We have corruption, and basically public services, little that we have, are not working. So this is basically the context of the country. And I was wondering if you could talk a little bit about why you're here, why you're participating in this International People's Assembly against Imperialism and Solidarity of the Bolivarian Revolution. So I think, this is my second time actually in Venezuela. So the first time I came in 2014 was for the People's Climate Justice Forum, which is organized, co-organized by the government of Venezuela, and social movements working on climate justice across the world. And we know very well that Hugo Chavez famously said that if the climate was a bank, it would already have been saved. And he was a great thinker and pioneer on these destructive impacts of the climate crisis, especially on people of color and people in the global south, and holding Western countries and governments to account for the historical emissions. And in the various ways the climate crisis manifests itself in land grabbing, whether it's land grabbing, pollution, whether it's the murdering of indigenous activists or black activists across the world, resisting the onslaught of sort of grabs, various types of grabs. So that was my first time and I have always, I mean, I'm a leftist. So it has never been a question of being in solidarity with the people of Venezuela. So when this opportunity presented itself to come back to Venezuela second time, in the midst of such a trying imperialist crisis, because it is an imperialist crisis. It's not a socialist crisis. It is an imperialist capitalist crisis. I was happy to be back here on behalf of the African Ecofeminist Collective to show solidarity to the people of Venezuela, but to also, not just to show solidarity, but to continue to affirm that the Bolivarian Revolution, the People's Revolution still continues, still thrives, because we have seen from the visit in the communes yesterday, if it wasn't for the communes, the great organization and mobilization that is there amongst different communes and different people of Venezuela, the men, the women, the children, the intellectuals, they would not be able to survive this particular onslaught. They would not be able to survive the economic sanctions, legal and evil economic sanctions led by the United States but the West. So this is why I am here.  And I cannot call myself free if Venezuelans are not free, and I definitely know that with the kind of international solidarity that Venezuela continues to offer, whether it's to the people of Palestine who shall be free, you know, whether it's the wonderful work that they do with social movements across Africa, I bear witness to the kind of solidarity, for example, that the Venezuelan Embassy in Kenya, in Nairobi, offers to social, grassroots social movements in the model that they operate with, not working with NGOs but actually social movements. So I can bear testimony to the internationalism of the Bolivarian Revolution and their project. So I am Venezuela until Venezuela is free, and I know that the Venezuelan revolution is the African revolution until we are free and all of us are free. Thank you so much for sharing with us and keep tuned to People's Dispatch.


Hello and welcome to this session in which we will be studying a new data type called graph. Graphs are a natural generalization of sequences and trees that we have studied so far. So, if you have seen in a sequence every node or element in the sequence has at most one next node and at most one previous node. So, the first node does not have a previous node, the last element does not have a next element. So, as every element has one previous element and one next element. In a tree every node has at most one previous node which we call the parent except the root node which does not have any parent. But a node can have any number of next nodes, they are called children in a tree. So, a node can have any number of children, but it will have at most one parent. So, graph is obtained by just relaxing all these conditions. In a graph a node can have any number of previous or next node. So, what is a graph? So, it consists of a finite set V of nodes also called vertices and a collection E of ordered pairs of nodes. So, an ordered pair N comma M is in the set E, then it is set to be an edge from the node N to the node M. So, E is a collection of edges which are essentially ordered pairs of nodes N, M and if N, M is an edge then we say node M is adjacent to node M or a successor of node M. So, node M is like a next node of N, but N can have any number of successor and they are defined by the set of edges in the graph G. Similarly, node N is set to be the predecessor of node M or the previous node of N. So, again M can have any number of nodes as previous nodes of predecessor and which nodes are predecessors or successors is defined by the set E of edges in the graph. So, the set V defines what are the nodes in the graph and set E defines the ordered pair which defines which nodes are successors of which nodes. The out degree of a node is the number of its successor and the in degree is the number of its predecessor. So, let us look at some examples of graph, a graph of say air connections. So, here the nodes are the cities in the country and there is an edge from node N to node M if say there is a direct flight from city N to city M. So, the airline can represent their flight by a graph depending on which cities the flight connect. So, there may be an edge from node N to node M if there is a plane flying from node city N to city M. So, if you look at courses offered in an institute, there is a graph which defines their structure and an edge indicates, so the nodes are the courses, set of all courses and edge N M indicates that course N is a prerequisite for course M. So, you can do course M only after completing course M and this relation between courses is indicated by the set of edges in the graph. Similarly, if you look at a graph of student registration, now here nodes can be of two types, they are students as well as courses in the institute and an edge N M indicates that student N has registered for course M. So, the registration data in an institute can also be represented as a graph where the nodes are students as well as courses. So, we will look at how a graph is represented. So, a graph is just defined by a sequence of nodes in the graph and a function called successor N M that returns to if and only if node M is a successor of node N in the graph. So, we have a sequence of nodes which represents what are the nodes in the graph and a single function successor that tells us whether a given node M is a successor of node N or not. So, this is also called adjacent matrix representation of a graph because for every pair of nodes it tells us whether a given node M is a successor of node N or not. So, any functions on graphs can be defined using just these two things, we need to know what are the nodes in the graph and we need to know which nodes are successors of which node. If this is defined any operation on graphs can be defined using this. Alternatively, sometimes we can define a graph is in a different way by defining a different function called successors of N that returns a sequence of successors of node N. So, rather than giving a pair of nodes and telling us whether M is a successor of N, this gives us the list of all successors of a given node N. So, you give a node N in the graph, it will tell you what are all its successors in the graph and this is sometimes called adjacent list representation. Both representations are equivalent, a graph can be represented in either way and we will choose whichever representation is more convenient depending on its use. So, there are some standard terms used in a graph which we will define here, a walk in a graph. So, walk is essentially motivated by some of the examples that we have seen. So, for example, we have a graph of direct flights from city i to where an edge represents a flight from city i to city j and we want to go from some city x to some city y. Now, there may not be a direct flight from x to y, but then how do you go from x to y? So, for problems like this we define these terms like walk and as we will say path and cycle. So, what is a walk? It is just a sequence of nodes and it is defined as the following. The empty sequence is not considered to be a walk in a graph, a walk containing a single node or a sequence of nodes containing a single node is a walk. So, walk of push n comma 5 is true and walk of push n comma push m comma s will be true only if m is a successor of n and walk of push m comma s is true. So, that is if I take a sequence that has first element n and second element m, then this sequence is a walk. If m the second element or second node is a successor of the first node and the remaining sequence obtained by removing the first node is also a walk. So, essentially a walk is a sequence of nodes where every node in the sequence is followed by one of its successor. A path is a similar thing. So, it is a sequence of nodes defined in a very similar way. It is false for the empty sequence for a sequence containing a single node n it is true. Now, here we have the extra condition. So, apart from the condition in a walk that m is a successor of n that is the second element must be a successor of the first element. The remaining sequence must be a path itself and we have this extra condition that occurs n comma remaining sequence must be false that is the first node in the sequence must not occur anywhere else in the sequence and this should hold for the remaining sequence also. So, essentially this is that is a path is a sequence of distinct nodes we do not come to the same node again in the sequence. So, path is a sequence of distinct nodes which is a walk also walk. So, the occurs function essentially tells us whether a given node occurs in a given sequence of nodes. So, occurs n comma phi is false occurs n comma push n comma s is true if n equals n otherwise it is true if n occurs in s itself. This will be useful later also and similarly another very useful concept in a graph is that of a cycle. So, it is again a sequence of node defined similarly if it is empty it is not a cycle on the other hand if it is non-empty it must be a path. So, the sequence must satisfy all the properties of a path and the additional condition that the last element of the sequence or the first element of the sequence must be a successor of the last element of the sequence. The last of push n comma s comma n successor should be true we just said that the first element of the sequence m must be a successor of the last element of the sequence. The last here is a function that returns the last element in a sequence the undefined for the empty sequence and it can be defined in a usual way for any non-empty sequence. So, here are some exercises so as you may have given the representation of a graph as a sequence of nodes and a function successor n m which tells us whether m is a successor of n or not. Using this we can write a function successor n that returns the sequence of all successors of a node n and we can also do the converse given a function that returns all successors of node n. We can write a function which tells us whether a given node m is a successor of n or not. And now we can use this to write a function called predecessors n that returns the sequence of nodes that are predecessors of a given node n or similarly we can write a function predecessors n m which tells us whether m is a predecessor of n or not. All functions on graphs can be used defined using just these two the understanding these will be crucial for understanding graphs thank you.


In 2012, I was diagnosed with a rare breast disorder that mimicked breast cancer. It's so rare that in case reports only 100 cases worldwide were reported. My name is Myra Molina. I was born and raised in the Tri-Cities. I have an amazing husband and two wonderful children. Life is great, but it wasn't always life-this. With this illness, when I got it, the doctors didn't know what I had, how I got it, or how I cure it. The only option I had at that point was surgeries and biopsies. Every time I'd get a surgery, it was left open to heal from the inside out. I was in so much pain. I didn't know what it was. I didn't know how to deal with it. I couldn't do anything. I couldn't hug my kids. I couldn't hug my husband. I couldn't go out to public places because I was scared that I was going to get bumped into and that I was going to hurt. A three-year-old doesn't know that mommy is hurt.  My husband couldn't hug me. I couldn't hold him. I remember this one point. My son, three at the time, came running to me. He was excited to see me and he hugged me, but I kind of pushed him away. In a sense, not because I didn't want to hug him, but because he came in with that open wound. It really, really hurt. I didn't want to live like this anymore. The doctors didn't know how to cure it. They didn't even know what it was. I was at a point where I had given up on life. I didn't know what lied ahead of me and I was always in so much pain that I wanted the doctors to tell me that I had cancer, that it was deadly. At desperation, I went over to the doctor and I told her that I couldn't have any more surgeries that I was done. And she said that the only option I had was getting a mastectomy done. You know, I declined that. I was too young. I was really young to have a mastectomy done. So the only option I had at that point was to continue taking pain medication, steroids, and vitamins. The pain was always there. It was still a constant pain. In 2013, they said that I was in remission. It was fine. But again, the pain was still there. I, you know, I learned to live with the pain. And again, in 2014, it reappeared. And at that point, I realized that from my past experience that doctors didn't know what I had. They didn't know what kind of medication I really should be taking. So I gave it up to God. I attended Hungry Generations prayer line in November of 2014. And amazingly enough, mid-December, I realized that the wound was closed. I was healed and there was no more pain. So from that point on, I could hug my husband. I can hug my kids. I can go to the park. I can run.  So something that took two years to just cope with took three months to completely heal.  I'm a mother to my children and a wife to my husband. God has restored my health.


The management of the Millennium Heights Medical Complex began the first in a series of town hall meetings organized as informative sessions for the public. The board responsible for the management of the facility engaged the curious contributors as they fielded questions about the facility's operations. The board is planning to use these engagements as a learning curve to help improve the services offered at the facilities. The first session was held at the Grosjele Human Resource Center where various matters were addressed. Chair person Joanna Reynolds-Atherton says the meetings represent the facility's attempts to demonstrate leadership and openness as well as getting recommendations and opinions on its operations. In short we believe that your voice counts. The intention is to bring power to the people to find ways to allow the public to be part of the process of delivering improved services. We are hoping that to engage the public to provide us with answers to some of the questions because we do not know all the answers. Chief Executive Officer of the MHMC Dr. Dexter James started off by echoing the chairperson sentiments in relation to public involvement in the improvement of the medical facility. Using a PowerPoint presentation Dr. James provided a description and explanation of the various services provided by the facility. Today your facility admits over 6,000 patients. We provide at least 15,000 outpatient visit services. A&E or accident emergency department sees about 18,000 patients a year. We do about 1,900 surgeries per year and we have about 94. This is under 100 patients today on Himo dialysis services or dialysis services run from about 7 in the morning right back until 2, 3 in the AM sorry 7 AM to 3 AM. This is a fairly busy facility. We make sure that all patients receive the 3 and 4 hours of treatment so that the care is not compromised at all. The MHMC team fielded questions from its audience in attendance and online. The Millennium Heights Medical Complex will be hosting a similar event on Tuesday 24th October at the Castries City Hall. From the Communication Unit of the Ministry of Health, Wellness and Early Affairs, I'm Sant Justin.


Hey guys, it's Divya again and I have a video today and it's the most important video I've Made so far and I think it's the most important video. I will ever make or could ever make because It's so powerful Now it's not anything I've created. It's just an experience. I want to share with you it's about meditation and if you Implement this try this out I'm going to make a claim here and the claim is that I think if you try this you will have an experience in meditation You may have heard people say maybe you've said it yourself in the past You know, I don't get meditation. Meditation isn't for me. I've never had an experience in meditation. It's not working If you do this and keep an open mind with this so simple what I'm going to say here I think you will have an experience in your next meditation. So let's jump in So I'm going to outline Three mistakes and then I'm going to give you a different alternative approach. So three mistakes we typically make in meditation now How do I know these mistakes? I've made these mistakes. I've made all these mistakes So if you can actually get to a place where meditation works for you It is amazing. Okay, it will change your life. There's no doubt about that but not if you do this not if you do what I did for years and years and frustrate yourself and Get nowhere with it and just think you're like a spiritual dummy or something So first mistake. What is the first mistake? We make with meditation and now this is by the way, some of this is going to annoy people. Okay, because Some it's based on a lot of the advice I took from other people you know experts in meditation and things and In my opinion, it doesn't work So I'm going to share with you what worked for me So whatever I say here will annoy some people that think I'm wrong. They want to agree with it But you know, I'm not here to say that this is the only solution I want you to try this and see what you think of this You can tell me below in the comments if you like if you think I'm full of it or not But I do try this myself personally I'm with other people and it seems to be paying huge Given big dividends for us. So first mistake is you keep track of how long you meditate Then you repeat that you keep track of how long your meditation sessions are And the problem with timing Your sessions is that the benefits of meditation are not time-sensitive. They're not time-related in other words You could meditate for 30 seconds and Have the experience you're after with meditation Alternatively, you could meditate for 45 minutes or an hour or an hour and a half And here's the thing people won't like to hear It could be a complete waste of your time that is Just the way it is as far as I'm concerned the feeling of relaxation or The other benefit I'll talk about in a minute can come to you in meditation in an instant after five seconds As soon as you're doing it. It can just be there Okay, so you don't it's not about Well, I did 45 minutes, you know, I make a progress look how long I meditated for No, okay. Now I can I can see how that would frustrate people because you know, we put in all this effort It's not about effort. Okay. It's not about how hard you work in meditation It's kind of the opposite of that actually, okay Now, so that's the first one now bear with me I will be giving you an alternative to all of this if this is like putting the rug out from Monday right now In terms of how you've been approaching this the second one is The belief you have about meditation It's the belief that you think in meditation. There is something to master There is nothing to master in meditation You think that if you're consistent enough if you do long enough sessions that eventually you'll get good enough and then one day You'll get it. Okay. That's The problem. Okay, that's not how it works The reason for that is that this leads to something I call bulldozing in meditation bulldozing is when you feel resistance to do in meditation or You're feeling just that inner conflict about uncomfortable. I'm uncomfortable in the meditation But I power through I just power through because I'm gonna achieve something here in this meditation I'm gonna can do this for half an hour or 45 minutes, right? so you bulldoze through the resistance that is a problem because What you need to do is you it's all about just simply non-aggressively Becoming aware of your resistance while it's coming up. Okay Becoming aware of your need to go and do something other than meditation or Becoming aware of my own willingness or my own comfortable feeling around simply being here sitting still That's the whole point of meditation. It is Uncomfortable. Okay, I'm becoming aware of that and not bulldozing through that is The solution to this. Okay, believe me. It's just it's a mindset shift in this now when you become aware of your resistance And you stop trying to bulldoze through it you stop blaming yourself because you have the resistance Then you gain everything. It's like a whole new world opens up to you in meditation Okay, so the second one is you think there is something to achieve or master in meditation So you're forcing your way through it No, there is nothing to master in meditation Which brings us to Another point the third one is You see meditation as something to take off a to-do list Okay, it's your practice and your pride yourself and how disciplined you are and how conscientious you are and How great you are with self-development so you're going to take that off your list and feel like you've made progress again It's not about doing it's not about achieving and kind of telling this thing about it Well, I've ticked it off the list today, so I must be making progress It's actually not true Okay, it's actually not true it's something Other than that it's about becoming less of a doer Less of an achiever. That's the goal of meditation and it did that is a huge huge prize By the way, like that can be achieved and I'm going to talk about that now in a second But how we can actually do this It brings an indifference about things and we still want things in the world and outside of meditation Of course meditation is all about how we behave outside of meditation by the way Bringing that into our daily lives, but it's about being indifferent to things not being reactive to things being okay within my own body Not needing Desperately things to go my way externally It's about starting to see kind of the silliness of our to-do lists. So And again, it's it's also a way of having a to-do list a to-do list. Well, what if I don't do it? Then am I bad at that meditation? What's wrong with me? Am I lazy? Okay, so it's not on your to-do list. That's not the way to think about this. So With all that said, those are the three mistakes. Okay, the three mistakes in meditation. They are you think You need to keep track of how long you meditate You think there is something to master and meditate and if you bulldoze through it, you'll finally get it Okay, and also you think it's like something to do take off a to-do list Here is how you're going to get the experience and you can get it the next time you meditate Two steps and I have them written here in front of me and I'm going to share them with you right now The first step is accept Whenever you have resistance to meditation Become aware of it. It's not laziness It's called resistance. It's a thing. Okay, and become aware Just simply becoming aware of the resistance is the key Okay And in the meditation What you're becoming aware of what you're observing is You know, you're not trying to achieve anything master anything You're just becoming aware of my own resistance to actually being here my own resistance to sit and still and Be silent for a few minutes or however long it is Or not diamond or member. Okay. It's just about Becoming aware. Okay. This feels uncomfortable This feels uncomfortable. Why do I why what's wrong that I can't sit here like this? It's called resistance and it's not to feel bad about it. It's the whole point of meditation So become aware of your resistance. Here's the second thing we do Simply sit in position wherever you meditate with no time expectation and no effort and watch resistance see how long it lasts and That is complete success if you are that conscientious person I talked about that has a to-do list That's it as soon as you're sitting in position. Take off the list Okay, I don't have to sit here for half an hour or 45 minutes or an hour or two hours, whatever it is just being here and Observing how resistant I am to doing this is complete success.  There's nothing to achieve. There's no expectations for how it goes There's nothing to do and there is no effort on my behalf other than to become aware about how resistant I am There is a line in the in the text of course in miracles it says only infinite patience brings immediate results So we need to become aware of how resistant we are to it If if there was no resistance when it comes to meditation in the world, everyone would be meditating easily But we don't we avoid it. Okay. We beat ourselves up because we don't do it So remember the two steps, okay? Become aware of your resistance to meditate and that's what you're going to be aware of during your meditation On other than that you just sit still no effort no expectation Don't try anything and sit there for as long as you sit there and that's it complete success Now if you do that you will start to get in touch With your inner doer your inner need For external outcomes will become very obvious to you and becoming aware of it means that it won't sabotage you or take control of your life you start to become a lot more relaxed and and Take life as it comes more so Again Maybe this advice this video has annoyed some people. I hope it hasn't because that's not what I'm trying to do here I'm trying to give people who are beating themselves up because they can't meditate or we would love to get some of these great Benefits of meditation. I'm trying to show you Away in here. Okay, or away if you've been doing it for a long time to just finally get some benefit out of it some genuine Experience because what are we trying to do with meditation? Meditation it's not how long we do it for it's about finding a true Experience that is what meditation is for it's just about the depth of the truth you find in the experience Okay, so that's the video. I hope it helped you. I hope it does help you You can let me know what you think below if you like you can email me and on my website dr. David lonely calm the link is below and You know do all those things if you want to help me out you can subscribe and you can maybe like the video or share it And I do want the one sessions as well Counseling and psychotherapy sessions online Skype ones and in my practice too So guys, thanks so much for watching this. I hope it helps and I'll see you


Okay, Black Friday is coming up. I want to record this important video because I got good news and bad news now most people on Black Friday. What do they do? They buy, you know, TV electronics, they buy stuff on Amazon. Although interestingly enough, and this is kind of the bad news, Jeff Bezos just came out saying, save your money. Who knows what the world's going to look like by next year. Don't buy TV. Don't that's a big, that's a big piece of news when the owner of Amazon's basically telling you not to buy an Amazon, but that's a whole other conversation about the economy. But let me just say this. Instead of what you traditionally buy for Black Friday, let me present something to you. So I said a good news, bad news. Here's the good news. Never before in history have there been so many people connected to their phone. Two billion people every day. So theoretically, I don't know if you saw Ronaldo just became the first person to have 500 million followers. It's pretty insane. Even if the algorithm doesn't show to every follower. When he posts, he's theoretically reaching like, you know, 16th of the world, one out of 16 people. So now forget Ronaldo because he has way more followers than you and I will ever have. But starting 10 years ago, I was watching social media rise and I was going, there's a way here that I can go to home base business. So for Black Friday, consider learning how to build a home base business. So as I said, good news and bad news, good news is it's even if you had, you may be going, I should have started this five years ago. Forget that. Now it's the best time to start a home base business because everybody's online. Everybody's on TikTok, Instagram, YouTube and there's more viral loops now, which I can talk about later. I just posted a YouTube short. I actually reposted content, added a little bit to it. I got 92 million views and it's not because I just have a big YouTube channel. Like YouTube, the algorithm, if you know how to do it, you can once a month or once every two months reach like 90 million people. If you know what you're doing and I'll show you, but but that's not as important. It's not just about like getting views. It's can you build a home base business out of it? So like I said, the good news is 2 million people or 2 billion people I should say are connected to phones and social media. The bad news is a almost no one knows how to monetize that to actually build it into a home base business. Some people get a lot of followers, but it's not a home base business that has a reliable stream of income. So like I said, the bad news is we live in uncertain times. Okay. So I want to give you something here on Black Friday that will be ready. You will go into the new year with a whole new set of skills. Okay. That you can do part time, full time, whatever. So I built a 28 day program. It's one video a day for 28 days. And each video is a different way that you a different business you could launch. Now, what I recommend is you take at least three of them. It's good to have three different ways to make to create income. So how can you build a home base business online? This is brand new. I've never released this. Like I said, and I'm going to teach some of it and I'm going to bring in people that I know. You can't even believe the mind blowing numbers that people are doing with online businesses. Now, like when I started in 2012, there was a few people doing it. And now it's just like, you know, and some of course people see it online and like, this must be fake. That person not making note. There's people building more home based businesses than you can fathom. And I'm not talking about you making a million dollars a month. Let's forget about that. Let's just build something simple. I've been able to build businesses online that do a lot more revenue. But I started out small. I started out small. I remember making my first hundred grand from social media doing live streaming. That was in 2013. In a month, I made a hundred grand. And again, don't buy it off more than you can chew. What can you build before the end of this year? So each day there's there's 28. I'm going to put a link below and I'm throwing in all these bonuses. And this is something I've never released before, but you only have seven days left. So click the button below or in the top. Look at this package. It's a special Black Friday, Cyber Monday week kind of thing. So every day you go through it, you get 28 different angles and you every single one of them is important. You watch, please don't just watch the first ones and go, Oh, I like these. I'm going to try these. They all work together in the sense that even if you don't launch 28 different kind of online work from home businesses, like that's not the important and you don't need to launch 28. But each one of them has an important skill. So we're going to talk about podcasting, how you can monetize podcast. There's a comedian that I follow. He posted his Patreon numbers. He makes a hundred thousand dollars a month from his podcast and posting on Instagram. He's just a comedian. I mean, in history, if you go back in time, even 10 years from now, almost no comedians except the super famous ones were making anywhere close to a hundred grand a month. That's just from podcast. He's blown away, but you know what? You don't have to be a comedian. You could do it on any subject. You can do it on politics. You can do it on religion. You can do it on, you know, going back to the land. You can do it on building businesses. You can do it on religion, fitness, sorry, spiritual fitness, all this. So one of the things is like podcasting, but using live streaming. One of the things is the entertainment side of it. One of it's how to be an affiliate, okay, where you get paid. One is how to get an agent. Some of you might want to do that eventually. The other one is to build an agency around, specifically now on YouTube shorts and TikTok is going to be one lesson. So there's just like immense amount of ways. One is how to use the new Instagram has a little subscribe button. So you have 20,000 followers. You monetize, you know, 10% of even 1%. That's 200 paying you 10 bucks a month. That's $2,000 a month and you can grow from there. So the world is for you now and helping you to build online businesses, okay. So I'll show you how to do live streams and monetize them. I'll show you how to build where actually other, you help other people get leads. I'll show you the whole strategy on direct messaging. There's a whole strategy. There's people that I know that make crazy money just sending direct messages to all kinds of different offers. I'll show you one of the things. And like I said, I'm going to teach some of these 28. I'm going to have other people teach them. One of the simplest ways that's just crazy is to build a little online mastermind where people join a community group. Okay. Some people call masterminds and call forums.  That one is mind blowing.  That's what I used to start mine. I just wrote about books and I built a community that made me a million bucks a year. I was just on, when I was focused on books, just my Amazon commissions alone was like 10 to $15,000 a month. All I would do is post book summaries. And that was like in 2014, when there wasn't 2 billion people connected and now one out of four people are checking their phone every single day. Okay. I'm going to show you one of the strategies is going global. Okay. How to do global stuff. We'll talk about fitness stuff. Basically, I guarantee you in this 28 day program, you click the link below.  But you're not going to get this package at this price. I wanted to do this because I'm like, be ready for next year, ladies and gentlemen, be ready for whatever the world throws at you. Have a couple of different streams of income. Theoretically, you could launch all 28 streams of income that you're going to learn. So this is a 28 day, 28 different streams of income. All you need is a phone. You can do this from anywhere in the world. I don't recommend you try to launch all 28 at once. You launch one, like Confucius said, the man who chases two rabbits cash in on. Launch one and then you can launch another. Ideally, the average multi-millionaire has three different sources of income. You can, by the way, I'll show you how to monetize and build an online business around real estate if that's your expertise. Literally pick anything you look around. There's a way I've got a treadmill desk over there how to monetize if you're good at fitness. If you have kids, how to monetize a support group for kids. Huge, huge untapped market. If you like to play video games, how to monetize streaming, Twitch is a whole other side of things. If you're funny, if you know how to cook, like everything, you have to go into new paradigm in the modern world where literally everything that you do could become a business. You know they say do what you love and you never work a day the rest of your life. I believe that. Do what you love. In 30 years ago that wasn't possible. A lot of people had to work jobs they didn't like. But these crazy smartphone things that you're watching this on have changed the game. Yet most people in the education system even business hasn't kept up with that. So I want to show you 28 days and like I said that's strategic why it's 28 days. You wake up, you watch a video, you can listen to them. You can watch them. You can let them stream in the background while you're going to work or going to school. Go through all 28 days. Okay and then we offer other be ongoing coaching to pass the 28 days. But you need to go through the 28 days. If you're super ambitious you can do more than one a day. But don't try to listen all 28. It's better to listen like in one short period of time. I don't like that. It doesn't work. So I'm going to put a link below. You have less than seven days. Click the link below. So get in this. It's Black Friday, Cyber Monday week. Only this 28 streams of income. 28 streams of income. I'm going to show you in 28 days. It's a 28 day course. Elegantly simple and powerful. Trust me. You will never regret knowing how to build a home-based social media-based business. It's got to be social media now. People used to say build an online business. Forget that online. What does that even mean? Like Google, you're going to build a business around Google. Everything starts around social media. Twitter, Facebook, Insta, TikTok, YouTube, and then all the parallel country or Twitch and you know all the speakeas, all these different apps. Everything starts there. So you base a stream of income.  If you like to be in front of the camera, I'll show you how to do it either way. That's not important. What's important is here's 28 different businesses that you can launch. There's something in that bundle. This Black Friday Cyber Monday program. There's something in there for you. Ideally three of them you like. But just get started on one. Even if you only make a dollar, who cares? I always say just keep adding a zero to your goal. So it's like you start with a buck, you add a zero. How can you make 10 bucks at a time? Add another. How can you make 100? How can you just keep going for however ambitious you are? Okay. So click the link below. Get in the program. I'm throwing in a whole bunch of extra bonuses too. Just so you have plenty for those of you really like to do something. Throw in a whole bunch of bonuses. So I will see you inside. I'm excited. 28 streams of income. Pick the three. But all 28 are vital for you. Even if you don't monetize all 28 different strategies that I give you. Even if you don't monetize all 28, you need to watch all of them. Because let's say you want to focus on one specific. The other ones will give you kind of some skills to make it happen. I'm going to be honest. Like people think that online is just magic.  Oh, I just do this. And now I'm like all the people I see on social media. That's not how it works. The way it works is rather simple. You slowly but surely build skill sets, but you do them in things where there's a competitive advantage, where not everybody's seen it. Money is made by catching new trends early. So let's get you catching a new trend. And I'm going to give you some of these are super cutting edge. And some of them are year old and some, I mean, believe it or not, some of the things from 10 years ago still work because not many people have still caught a long tool. So it's 100% guaranteed. You go through the 28 days. If you don't find anything for you, nothing works. Send your money back. Okay. So over 200,000 people have gone through my online paid training programs in the last 10 years. So I've trained, it's more than that, but let's just say 200, 300, 400,000 people. It's a lot of people have gone through it and over a hundred million people have watched my content every year. So this is coming from the trenches. This is coming from what I've learned and I'm bringing in some of my friends who have great streams of income, amazing streams of income to also teach you. So get in here, never before. I mean, just think about how the college and the school system, like in 28 days, you're going to learn more very specific ways to build an online home-based business more in 28 days than you'll learn in a decade of high school, junior high, high school and university. Literally, I guarantee you that. There's not that specific. Now you learn good stuff in school and you learn reading, writing, arithmetic, this theoretical stuff, but no, they're not teaching this. They're not. And they should be, but hey, private education is the future of the world. Don't expect too much that you got through the school system. Stuff that's free, you get what you pay for. I think about my high school and in like junior high education, I'm like, well, it didn't cause me anything when I went to public school. It's like taxpayer dollars, but like I got what I paid for, which is not that much tangible stuff. So I'm excited, get it, get through Black Friday. By the time New Year's is here, have a transformed world. One or two or three of these lessons is going to be the game changer for you building a home-based online, social media-based business. It's where the world's gone. Don't get left behind. So click the link below, get in. You have less than seven days. Okay, talk to you soon.


7. Cool Post-it Note Icebreaker Activities. How to start your very first lesson or transition to study after a long summer vacation? The following activities help you easily break the ice with your English students. Students of all ages love interesting games that encourage interaction. Try one of them, as a starter or as an icebreaker. 1. All-Star Class. Ask students to draw and self-portrait and display them on a bulletin board and class. Each person writes a positive adjective describing each of their classmates on a sticky note and sticks it to the portrait. Do this activity in one day or over a period of time, let students take their portraits home. It's a fun and engaging activity for the first day of school. You can also adopt it to the online activity by using Google presentations or similar tools. 2. Where are you from? This game works well for a class of international students. Give each person a Post-it Note flag to place on their home country on your classroom world map. After everyone has placed their map, the other students try to guess whose note is whose. Try this game as a part of world tour or nationalities topic. Encourage students to share their stories to set up a friendly atmosphere. 3. Get to know. For this activity, ask students to write 5 facts about themselves on a Post-it Note, then put the notes on the board. Choose one and read it aloud. Try to guess who wrote it. When you get the right student, that person takes a turn with the remaining notes. Continue until all the notes are gone. You can also adjust this game to a more specific topic like character traits, physical features or interests. 4. A matched set. Students write 5 fun facts about themselves, and turn the paper into the teacher. Write each fact on a Post-it Note along with a matching one with that student's name. When students are not in the room, put the Post-its all around the room. Students race to match the names with the correct facts, they can't match their own name. 5. Question mixer. Write the name of a well-known person on a sticky note, write enough so everyone in class has one. Stick a note to each student's back. Students ask classmates one yes or no question at a time, until they have figured out who is on their back. 6. Two truths and a lie. Give each student three Post-it Notes. On two notes, they write something true about themselves, on the third, something false. Students share in groups of four to five and try to guess which statement is a lie. For online classes, you can use a shared Google document to write statements. 7. Hidden treasure. Write several icebreaker questions on the sticky side of Post-it Notes, and stick them to the board. Each student takes turns choosing one sticky note and answering the question on the back. They then choose another student to answer the same question. This activity can be easily carried out online. Create this game using the WordWall website. Do you want to teach English abroad? Take a TEFL course.

Pretty fun slate and DFS first and now you got a couple of options I think you justifies your top picture on the night and I would say the top three options the three I like the most are all in what I would deem to be plus matches whether from a a floor perspective or from a ceiling perspective so Pretty fun slate in that regard and not bad for stacking either so despite there being just seven games on this plate So pretty good offerings We're gonna break down which those pictures are like most how are viewing them and also the top stacking options For tonight over on fan dual calm welcome on into the solo shot That's right here on the fan dual podcast network and number fire calm My name is Jim sauna. I am a senior writer and analyst for a number fire here to break down this seven game main slate What locks up for seven ten p.m. Eastern for tonight the only game with a weather note for today Is going to be a a temperature that is actually just one game with a temperature above? 77 degrees that game is in Arizona for the diamond backs and the Phillies that is an 89 degree game And the roof will be open there They published that over at the diamond backs website ahead of time So we know the roof will be open 89 degrees Relative to other parks on the slate that is going to be the best one for offense now Does that mean you automatically stack there? No, will we stack there? Yes But we'll talk about why and where that ranks among the stacks later on but that's the lone weather note for tonight We'll dive in in to the fun pitching options and more in just one second But first a reminder to make sure you're subscribed to the number fire daily fantasy podcast See wherever you get your podcast.

Well with fandals nfl best ball drafts You don't have to worry about that Draft your team and each week the highest scoring lineup from your roster Will be used as you battle for first place all season long leagues can be free to play or for money And range from three to 12 players the nfl season will be here before you know it So head over to fandal today and get in on the action Pitching preview for this monday mainslade zack efflin checks in with the highest salary on fandal his salary is $10,800 Followed by logan web at 10 6 james paxton facing colorado 98 haseus lasardo 95 Bryce miller on the opposing side of haseus lasardo 9000 with jack flairty and luke weaver as the other guys at $8,000 or higher Now the three guys to me you stand out most are going to be james paxton taseus lasardo and zack efflin and as i mentioned all three of those guys are in at least decent matches for today in terms of Strikeout stuff like that paxton's matchup is the best So i'm going to put in number one for today Due to the fact that he is facing colorado and paxton does still have some issues Primarily it's the baddest balls that have been his bugaboo But he's getting strikeouts and he gets the rockies in boston tonight So i think we're going to want to be here on paxton and put him at the top of our list We got a five star sample now in paxton with the red sox this year and Again, the baddest balls are an issue. He's led up a 42 hard hit rate with a 48 fly ball rate But the rockies don't generate any power. So they don't matter They have a 121 iso against leptis and remember that includes their sample at course field So even with half their games against leptis at course, they have done nothing from a power perspective Once you account for the park factor their wrc plus is 61 that is absurdly low So it's a plush spot for anybody and again paxton At least has the strikeout portion going for him right now He has a 33 strikeout rate through five starts the rockies a 27 strikeout rate against leptis So they're a good match up both for floor and for upside i've got paxton projected for 8.5 strikeouts tonight, which is the highest number on the slate so We will need to make sure the weather's good to go here It looks like it's better this morning than it was last night But if we get the all clear there paxton will be my top starter of the night and he is a guy I do feel great about with a salary of 9800 dollars For the second slot if I were talking about things straight up I would prefer zack efflin because he gets a great match up here Facing out for the a's we always want that but I can save 1300 dollars by going down to haste is lizardo And I think I prefer that route And the matchup for lizardo from a floor perspective is not as good as what we get with efflin or paxton Because he's facing the mariners and they've got some big guns against lefties But they also strike out a bunch 27 strikeout rate versus lefties Which is tied for the highest mark on the slate We've also seen lizardo inching up a bit there himself in the strikeout department Across his past five starts lizardo has been throwing fewer forcing fastballs and the forcing fastball is a Not a super high whiff pitch for lizardo. So it's not a bad thing to see him scale back on that And he has had some tough results in that time. He's had too bad adding specifically But the peripherals for lizardo are sick. He has a 2.53 skill interactive er a with a 35 strikeout rate It is a small sample. So I don't know if that will stick But he is at least in the right kind of matchup to get strikeouts for tonight Lizardo due to the matchup is not a cash game option. I think there you go With the higher floor matchup that we get a paxton efflin But for tournaments, I really have no objections here lizardo well worth 9500 dollars And I think those savings are actually valuable on this slate And they're valuable and left me to put him above efflin So considering the stacks the the stacks a little bit higher salary I think it's okay to take the savings did down to lizardo and make him number two So rankings to me for the studs paxton one lizardo two efflin three For cashings to be paxton one and then I guess efflin two But would just kind of probably go with paxton personally Among the value guys luke weaver is my favorite here a lot of caveats apply to saying that The first is that I'd rather spend up because paxton salaries 98 lizardo 95 those are not super bad honestly and second Weaver has been far from flawless even recently, but his matchup is good and his salary is 81 So let's talk through a situation right now Weaver is facing the royals They are a high strikeout offense with a 26 strikeout rate against righties and just an 80 wrc plus So it's a great matchup both for dfs and for other stuff for Real world pitching for weaver weaver has had issues this year his era is 6.27 But I feel like that number is pretty unfair his expected era is 4.50 His skill interactive era is 4.04 and that number I would say is misleading because On the full season weaver has been letting up a lot of hard contact the one Flaw with skill interactive era is that it doesn't do a good enough job of factoring that in so I would say the expected era of 4.50 a better representation of what weaver has done than his skill interactive era But weaver has been getting better recently across his past six starts Weaver's been throwing a lot more cutters and That has hurt his strike outright because it's down to just 20 percent in that time But his hard hit rate allowed is down to 38 percent Which is about average and that's a lot better than it was before His first three starts this year weaver's done this against pretty tough matchups Now he's in a much better spot. So He is flawed and I would rather spend up to get to paxton get to lasardo But I can see the case for weaver and I can't sit here now and tell you I definitively will not have weaver in my player pool because I like the raise for stacking and they're pretty high salaried rangers same thing.  I would like not to is what I would phrase it, but um, He's releasing considerations. So to me preferences to get to paxton get to lasardo But I have weaver as an outlet if stacking is a little bit tougher than I'd like for tonight Speaking of stacks, let's dive into those now and talk about those rays. They're at oakland for tonight It's 61 degrees there, which is the coldest on the slate and it does downgrade the rays But I feel like we need to be here regardless They're facing james capralian who has had good results since he rejoined the rotation And he is doing some things well But the peripherals leave more room for us to be skeptical because the good is that pack or kept capralian has let up Just a 37 hard hit rate across five starts and that's a bit better than average. It's not bad. You'll take that but The rest of the data is where we can kind of get some excitement 52 fly ball rate allowed And that's pretty scary when you're facing a team with a 201 iso against right He's even without a brand and lau on the roster Capralian just a 17 strikeout rate within 11% walk rate He's gotten by with a low hard hit rate allowed I just don't know if he'll be able to do that here I think that does allow us to stack the rays against him So the rays are going to be my top stack despite the fact their park factor for tonight is pretty poor I think it's worth talking about luke reilly for a second because the rays do platoon him where he doesn't play against left He doesn't start against lefties should say but he's crushing righties with a 315 iso and the concern With guys like that who crush righties, but don't start against lefties is Will they get yanked if a leftie comes in? The rays don't do that with reilly at least typically because he has finished nine consecutive starts. He has Seven stolen bases against righties. So two sources of upside He is a platoon bat But he is one we can trust for dfs and reilly is honestly one of the lower salaried rays salary at $3100 for tonight. So I think luke reilly Is someone we can trust despite the fact that his archetype can sometimes be one We want to be wary of in dfs guys who leave early for pinch hitters are always going to be Tough to sell but reilly doesn't seem to be that guy He's facing the way the rays have handled him across the past couple of weeks or so Number two stack me the rangers also a pretty high salaried stack but face and taylor anderson who is still trying to get his groove back from last year and When you're a pitcher who's struggling as a lefty, you probably don't want to face texas because It's a rough spot. So I think the rangers is great at wealth from a stacking perspective the rangers against lefties a 144 wrc plus and a 187 iso So that's tough for anybody But it's tougher for someone who is still clearly searching to try to find the magic he had last year Most recently anderson has been throwing more cutters and more change-ups It's an eight start sample and in that time 14 strikeout rates with a 45 fly ball rate the hard hit rate has been pretty good for anderson that time but The other issues that he's had the fly balls the lack of strikeouts That has prevented the hard hit rate from being enough to help him get by It's a pretty tough ask to force anderson to go on the road and face the rangers here So I like them plenty as a stack for tonight. The rangers. I think are a quality stack here Now the added perk here with the rangers facing lefty is that a lot of the secondary guys benefit from that kind of match up Mitch garver josh young z keel doran all get banned bumps up and it does help make them a bit easier to stack Now the one downside is that even those secondary guys quote-unquote secondary guys in this team Don't come with low salaries. Uh garver salary is 33 young is 34 doran is 29 so You're not really saving a lot of salary, but it is at least a little bit easier to get to them here. So Both the rays and the rangers may require some gymnastics trying to find some value place somewhere to squeeze them in But I think they're worth that effort and that is part of why I wanted to go With lasardo as my second ranked pitcher over efflin because I think salary will matter quite a bit for tonight So ray is one rangers two the best park factor tonight easily as mentioned belongs to the dime backs and the fillies Fillies are facing tommy. Henry and they have not hit lefty as well so far this year But I still think we want to give them a look here. Henry is face of fillies once this year That was back in philadelphia a few weeks ago and he did line up just two earned runs there But both those runs came on solo homers. So the upside was there Henry had one good start after that a really good start He held the rockies scoreless for seven innings But as mentioned before paxton the rockies suck against lefties Next start for Henry the nationals tagged him for five earned runs with two homers So I think that kind of wipes out the goodwill from that quality start against the rockies henry Has thrown fewer curve balls his past six outings and in that time He has a 5.23 skill interactive. Yeah, right with a 16 strikeout rates and a 10 walk rate The fly ball rate is 42 and I think that's the cause of the home run issues when you let up that many balls in play And a high percentage of them are in the air Probably going to get you in trouble at some point So yeah, the Phillies have struggled against lefties But I think there is enough here to make them one of the top plays of the night Henry hasn't faced a lot of lefties so far this year and you see that a lot with lefties where When they're facing an opposing lineup you take out all the lefties except for the best ones So the sample we have on Henry is small and it's basically just the best lefties he's seen But those lefties have hit him pretty hard and same thing as we saw last year Both those are very small samples But I do think it gives us the green light to go With brice harper with college warber here because both those guys can't hit lefties pretty well Despite being left-handed. So I would say When you're stacking the Phillies be receptive to harper and schwarber because henry When they've left lefties in the lineup against him has not excelled against those guys So I would say green light at harper and schwarber for this stack Things to watch a couple other offenses to consider for stacking the red sox are facing connor siebold who Has had some really nice starts recently some of those where I course feel which makes it a bit more impressive But the peripherals are still not perfect. I think that means the red sox are in play for stacks But I would not put them above the Phillies or the other two teams So red sox probably fourth for me fifth would be the the giants Basically Matthew liberator who had an awesome start to this year pitched really well in triple a2 But he's come back to earth recently specifically because he's letting up too much hard contact His hard hit rate allowed is 44 across four outings the giants of a 109 w rc plus against lefties So I do like liberator as an overall pitcher Which is why the giants aren't higher on this list But if you want more of an under the radar option for stacking I would say the giants might be in that discussion Because of the hard contact liberator has allowed Finally matt strom is starting for the Phillies, which means is expected to be a full bullpen game But strom could go 40 to 50 pitches based on the length he's shown in the random starts He's made and he's pitched really well this year So that prevents me from being on arizona despite the fact this is a very good park factor for tonight So the Phillies. Yes, I will go to in the the good park factor The the diamond backs not quite as much because I respect strom respect the Phillies bullpen Sounds like everyone there should be available. So, uh, I'm okay being lower on arizona for tonight Let's finish up with the dinger calls for today. The boring one. It is the rangers against the lefties So adelie scarcia who is in play against righties two is going to be in play for tonight So the boring home run call adelie scarcia hasn't had as many home runs recently, but I still feel like that's in his his bag So adelie scarcia is the boring home run call the fun one alec bow It just came off the il yesterday. So we get him back in there facing a lefty Boom not a guy turned to against righties, but against the lefty good park factor. I can get behind that So dinger calls for this monday adelie scarcia and alec bow That's all we got here for the solo shot for today back once again tomorrow for a full slate on tuesday to get that as it is posted Make sure you are subscribed to the number fire daily fantasy podcast feed wherever you get your podcast And like as mentioned as always if you like what you hear leave us a five star rating as well If you've got any questions for me.
