What's going on everybody welcome back to some breaking news and the world number three Samona Halep. She is out of the French open She is withdrawn due to a calf injury that she got in Rome a couple of weeks ago Let's go have a look at a statement over on Twitter. This is what she had to say over on Twitter It's with a heavy heart that I announced my withdrawal from Roland Garros this year Unfortunately the tear in my left calf muscle needs more time to recover and the timeline is just too short with drawing from a grand slam Goes against all my instincts and aspirations as an athlete But it is the right and only decision to make the thought of not being in Paris feels me with sadness But I will focus my energy on recovery staying positive and getting back on court as soon as it's safe to do so Roland Garros 2022 I'm coming for you. So there it is She did get a tear in her calf muscle the left calf at the Rome open last week She had to actually pull out of that event mid-match She was in front of that match as well against Angelique Kerber and she had to pull out during that match And she has a lot of points to defend at Wimbledon Remember she is the defending champion at Wimbledon from 2019 obviously no competition last year So she has to get ready for that as well So this is probably a smart decision get a couple of extra weeks also clay is brutal on the body So it's good to see that she's going to take an extra couple of weeks off But let me know down in the comments below is this going to hurt her chances at Wimbledon? There's not too much time before Wimbledon remember the French open finishes Wimbledon starts two weeks later So is it going to be enough time for a left calf to heal because a tear in the calf usually takes a long time So Simone Halib she's out of the French open the 2021


We have more than 600 people here who got off the bus, 5.45. I got on a bus, I came over here to play music for you folks to start off this day. So thank you very much. As I said, we're going to have almost 550 people work around the county this wonderful day. So I'm going to come out a little bit later. It's kind of nice that you have a nice cool atmosphere to work during the morning, get a little warmer this afternoon, get some sunshine on you. And we have to thank you for what you're going to do today. The memory agencies and the organizations that you're going to help today would not have things accomplished if you would not do them. It just would go undone. So thank you for the efforts that you're going to put in. At this point in time, I would like to introduce Holly Green and the Elkhart Lake Choir. They're going to start off the day with our next plan called Bankel. So please stand in the middle of that. And Dan, very nice to be here this morning. I am an ex-school administrator. And if you think about it, they started school a week and a half ago. That means they picked up their instruments and their vocal voices probably a week and a half ago as well. So for them to come out on the second week of school, it was pretty cool. So let's give them a round of applause. And we need to give a shout-out to our staff because it's no small accomplishment to get this all established and get all the different projects and all the different volunteers. So Leanne Riley, if you could sneak out here if you're back there. And Emily, come on out here. Emily's going to have to wait for Leanne because I think she's still going to have to listen to the show. So let's give her a round of applause. We're very honored and proud to give away and invest more money last year than we ever have in the United Witnesses' History this morning. We're certainly going to want to do that again this year because our agencies and you all benefit from what happens with the United Way. Last year we were able to have Todd and Kerry Niles serve as our campaign chairs and one of the pillars of the United Way is financial stability. As some of you know, I'm sure Todd is a banker so certainly the finances come in there. And Kerry works for a Surgento and that certainly talks about stability in the community. This year we took a turn and we wanted to talk about another pillar that we have and that's education. And so we're very, very pleased and honored when we asked Dr. Joe Sheehan and Dr. Jackie Joseph Silverstein, I apologize for that, to come and help us with this campaign. Jackie has got a very, very difficult job. She is the dean of three different colleges. She is the dean of UW-DeVoygan, Washington, and Waukesha County. So she is all over the southern part of the state. And Joe, as many of you know, is the superintendent of the school district, DeVoygan. So without further ado, please have a round of applause for Jackie and Joe. I'm coming in and said, okay, what are we going to start the morning out with?  Seriously, look to your left, look to your right. You are Sheeboygan. And when we talk about Sheeboygan, yeah, it's a great community. It is, but why? Because of you. Because of people that understand, I have to get back. Because people that understand that my time is important to give. The people that model to our youth, our little kids, stuff to bigger kids, that this is an important thing to do. The most important is your attitude. You know, you're here, I'm sure actually, you don't have to admit it. You get out of bed going, yes, I get to do this here and do that. Thank you. That's what makes Sheeboygan so great. So I hope that's a little bit of an inspiring question because you know we couldn't do any of this stuff. You are the backbone. And lastly, I also hope, you know, when you got up this morning, and tonight when you go to bed and you develop H2B, you're smiling. You know, it's not just great to be back in the community, you're openly in your heart and you're going, hey, I've done such a good job today. And you do. And especially with you. You do it all the time. So we have to go, not just touch it, but go to the whole county, our whole Sheeboygan community. Thanks for what you do. This is really, you are Sheeboygan. Thank you. Thank you everyone. Let me tell you how honored that I was to be able to be co-chair along with Joe Sheehan here. When I look out at all of you, you and by your name, the time and effort that you put in to helping our community. Throughout my career, I've been a participant in the United Way campaign. My organization has asked me to give and I've contributed. But it's only been in the last several years that I've had a chance to truly be behind the scenes in United Way and see all of the wonderful work that our community action volunteers and our other volunteers do on behalf of this community. There are people who spend hours trying to determine which of our organizations we should invest our resources in. The resources that all of us do for this community. They make sure that we are invested in our dollars that we invest in what are being invested wisely to help move the dial in our community. As educators, Joe and I see every day how we can empower individuals by providing them with knowledge and the tools and the support they need to have productive lives and a successful future. The United Way support and progress around education, financial stability and health help to make a difference in the lives of individuals in our community and in the lives of those individuals. I'd like to thank all of you for your participation and I'll give a chance to visit you, some of you today and I'm looking forward to seeing you on site as you're doing your volunteer work. We'd now like to introduce the United Way sponsors. As we call the name of your company, we'd love to have the scene stand up and be recognized. Thanks, Joe. Thank you.  What now? BMO Harris. It's your huge stand up. 5.30 in the morning. Welcome. At first, I would like to invite somebody to come out here. Emily, is Emily over there yet? Could I have her come here? I'd like to thank Emily personally last year. You are all aware that the end of the day today we hope we'll see you all at K. Sheboygan at St. Park. We know you all have some food tickets in your gift bag for today. Okay. We don't know that you've got it. Gee, Santa, you told me what I'm getting for Christmas. I would say that there's nobody more committed to anything than Emily has done to aid of this organization and to sharing the message and attitude of everybody in this place. If there's anybody here, I appreciate if you raise your hand that is going to have a baby today because that's what she did last year. She went to have a baby after our baby. And for those of you who have seen her baby, she not only had one, but she had, I think, the cutest little guy in Sheboygan. Don't you think? I'm up to offering her $65 and she still won't let me have one. I've never paid the baby $50 before, but I'm willing to pay. I'll be a rascal out of breath, dear. All right. I'll be here. Thank you Emily for everything you've done. Thank you. Before I get into this introduction of our special guest, I just want to mention I have a family member who just moved to Los Angeles, Fisher Boygan. They wanted to change the life. They've been here now a year, out of their lives. The life has never lived out of Los Angeles. And the first thing she said to me after two weeks was, Sheboygan isn't a real city. It's a Disney movie set. Everybody here is acting and they're all incredibly nice. And I said, no, thanks. We all are here. And then one day we were on the bench and you might relate to this. She was taking a picture like this. And I walked over and I said, can I ask what you were doing? She said, I was just taking a picture of this guy to send all my family in Los Angeles. Think about it. You'll get it. The other thing and this sums it up and this represents all of you. This statement that she said to me. The biggest challenge I've had here is a four way stop.  Here you get to a four way stop and you look around and everybody's got their hand in the windshield going like this. And then the most interesting thing so you go this far, then they all go too. So traffic isn't as insane as LA but getting through a four way stop before it's down here. Go ahead. And I'm hoping by next year and I'm working on this, I'm hoping I can get every guy a complimentary treatment of what I'm working on in my basement with with the chemist which is Brot Frey for Long. I mean lady, wouldn't you? The guy walks into some place and he's got Brot Frey for Long. He goes, hey. We'll be appearing at every baseball you're going to play. Oh my God. Okay, yeah, thank you, thank you. For those of you who've not been here before we have our incredible incredible champions who represent the companies that some of them that are on your shirt and for all of those who have grown in an international platform from our Cheboygan in my lifetime is just amazing. Our special guest today let's see, we'll take first off coming wearing a wonderful bun, I'm sure it's made in Cheboygan too, but there is nothing finer for breakfast, lunch or dinner than a Johnsonville Brot, that's right. Oh man, what's going on? So you've got to admire anybody who can have one eyebrow with mustard and one ketchup. All right, and then also somebody who makes things happen more than we would ever imagine and the things, we don't even know we drive by the building and go what are they doing in there? From plastic engineering, the chemist, Leo the chemist, come on out Leo and Leo is my technical advisor on Brot Frey for Long and okay, from a company that just dominated the world at what they do and somebody told me that they were in a shower the other day and all they had to say was fall home and their cell phones fall home and they said the shower is hot. Oh my god, I hope I get to have one of those some day. So okay, coming from Polar, Moxie, come on down from Polar Moxie, I'm here, I'm here. Wow Moxie, I'm taking back, if I spun around twice in that seat I'd be laying down. All right Anne, what else do we need if we're going to have Brot and we're going to sit around with a chemist and we've got something to shower in afterwards which is always wonderful. Let's have a little bit of cheese here for the subgenres all of a sudden. Could I have the traveling trophy can you get that out here? Last year, now we've done this for I think it's four years, three years something like that, you guys haven't aged eight at all, you just look great. This is the traveling trophy. This trophy is awarded to the fastest, most agile of these characters behind us here. They're all looking going, what am I doing? Anyway, this trophy last year it says down here, 2016 Sargento Poole. Let's take a look at it. And of course, 2015 which is when the traveling trophy was created, from 2015 what's Machi Francole company. Now, they're going to participate in an Olympic event here which is sanctioned by UACA YLGA E-A-E-L and they're going to also be introduced as Dr. today at 6.30 at pace so be down there because we'll probably do a front passing kick competition. There's no admission to pace but it's worth it to see that kind of passing kick competition. So, then trophy master, would you take these characters where they begin their event and I think they begin back here. Are you going to do a front passing right here I think? They're going to lead you over follow that wonderful young lady there and here we go Emily, this is Emily said, of all the things I do this is one of them. Okay, so here we go we're going to have one race it's sort of a drug match that's why they have pushed the moxie over there next to Sarge Leo's ready Leo's got a new hairstyle here called it earlier and of course, drop man you just said drop man in front of me, I'd win any race in America, would you? Alright, are you what are you? Are you characters ready? Get set, first one through here is going to win this trophy, sorry get set, go Okay, are you guys ready?

Well it's really into lockdown and this one is a bit of fun and I want you all to join in with this because what I've noticed is that we're all missing out on our fitness and in terms of keeping us in shape I don't think we realise quite how much golf does in terms of our fitness level but what I'm going to do is I've been hitting a lot of golf balls into a net over the last few days and I realise that once you start hitting a few balls consecutively it gets a little bit tiring so what I'm going to do I'm going to pull that to the test with the use of my daughter's Apple Watch and I'm going to record how many calories I burn when I hit 250 consecutive golf shots and that's going to be wedge, five iron and five wood. The question is comments down below how many calories do you think I burn in those 250 golf shots. A bit of fun and we'll see how I get on with this one it'll be interesting. Right that's 25 wedges to start with and played them pretty much one after the other and you can already start to feel the heartbeat sort of rising a little to check what that was I was hitting. So that's another 25 this time of five iron onto a five wood. So before we go into the five wood just let you know at this moment it's 58 calories burns after 50 golf balls. Right that's 100 balls in 92 calories that was back to a bit of a three-quarter wedge to get a bit of a breather because at this stage you can certainly feel that heart rate is well and truly on its way. It is certainly dropping 125, 113 calories and I'm really starting to feel it now. That's 175 in the last one was it's getting down from the three-quarters wedge it's gone down to a half wedge which allows you to just get that little bit of a breather in between but change the top bit of water probably changing the colour of my face as well because it's it's getting hard. So 192 calories at 200 balls and to be honest with you I thought it would be higher than that because it's blinking hard at this point.  Right I was going to have a half hour lie down before I gave you my opinion on that but I thought I'd give you someone a bit more reactive. I've finished 10 minutes ago so I've actually cooled down a little bit and got my breath back because to be honest with you there's a surprising bit by the end of that I was out of breath there's no two ways about it. It was it was hard going and those last probably 75 balls that I hit it was a struggle. It was almost like a circuit if you like in the sense that the wedge acted as a little bit of a cool down period just to get you sort of bring it down a little bit in terms of the tempo and give you a little bit of time to get your breath back and this seven iron got that a little bit more difficult and then swinging the longer length of the five would became even more difficult again.  I hope you've had a guess in the comments down below already how many calories are burns. The I think it was 246 or was it bang on 250? I've got a screenshot of it anyway but I think it was 246 as I finished and I was disappointed but when I came in and spoke to me door she said actually for the time you're out there and that's actually a decent number in turn in terms of calories burn but I'm no expert on fitness and I've no idea what that represents but as a little bit of an interesting I don't know break from the norm it was something to have a look at a bit of a laugh at and you know what I reckon if you did that every day burning 250 calories whatever that means it can't be bad for you. I don't think it'd do too well for your golf swing though because the other thing is I'd have each have been on a launch bonus because I doubt we'd have been hitting too many that were straight. Anyway just a bit of fun I hope you enjoyed it keep staying safe and hope you're doing your exercise and getting out there and the little break that you do get make the most of it enjoy the sunshine and keep well.

Hey guys, welcome back to my channel. So today I had a few things around the house to clean up It was just kind of some random stuff. So I decided to film it for you all If you're new to my channel, don't forget to hit that subscribe button Everything that I use in this video will be listed below in the description bar, and I hope you guys enjoy Wish out to me and you


Mechanical systems are everywhere and although they do a lot for us they can also produce a lot of noise. Here at the Delft University of Technology we are training the new generation of scientists and professionals to build sustainable and quiet machines. We are now ready to offer our knowledge to you, the working professional. Finding a proper balance between noise output and aerodynamic performance is not an easy task. There are lots of regulations about noise pollution which are enforced by government agencies around the world. Specializing in aerodynamics and acoustics is really challenging. That's why we offer these online course so that you can get ahead in these fields. In just a few weeks you will learn how to translate complex aeroacoustic theories into practical design applications. Your creativity and experience will also help you develop innovative noise reduction strategies improving your career prospects. We start by reviewing the physical principles behind sound generation and what parameters influence noise production. This knowledge is then translated into practice using both exercises relevant to industry and online simulations. This will help you optimize the performance of a mechanical system. Throughout the course you'll receive personal feedback from our international experts who will also discuss industrial regulations and equipment. After taking this course you will be able to analyze and reduce the noise sources of your system to make your product as efficient and quiet as it can be. Sounds interesting?

I had my honoring our mother's ceremony on my solar return Which was May 21st, even that day you could see that my belly was really low Like everybody that saw me was like, yo, you look like you're ready to get going to labor right now After that weekend, I was like, I'm gonna take it easy because I wanted to be good for the agriculture fair Because I did all that work for that event and I didn't want to have to miss it So the day after my event, my solar return, that was a Saturday So the Sunday I went to the beach, I relaxed. That week I really was taking it easy I was mostly in bed on my laptop just doing finishing touches for my products I had already done make all my products. All I had to do at that point was update my labels, print them, and label my product But I'll say the Tuesday I started to feel a little under the weather And Wednesday I was completely out of it My body was aching from my waist down was aching Like, you know how like you get body aches when you have the flu? That's how it felt. I could not get out of bed. I had a little fever I didn't really have much of an appetite and I kept getting Contractions which at the time I was like, it's probably just Braxton Hicks So I stayed in bed all day and I was drinking a bunch of water I was drinking a lot of coconut water because I was like, maybe I'm dehydrated And I just need to drink some water to get these Braxton Hicks under control Because I was like, lack fear is this weekend. I cannot be sick right now I cannot go into labor right now. I have things to do Yeah, I stayed in bed all day and my two-year-old literally was stuck to my side that day He stayed in bed with me all day because we were both in bed just sleeping We slept all day and I still had so much to do Like my body didn't allow me to do anything else Like I said, I still had to update my labels and get them printed I think I had finished update most of them But I hadn't printed any yet and I haven't labeled anything yet The Thursday morning the Braxton Hicks just kept coming Well, which I thought at the time I was saying is Braxton Hicks And I remember that morning my mother had something to do that that day that morning That Thursday morning my mother had somewhere to go She came in my room before she left and she saw me still out of it And she was like, you sure you're not in labor? And I was like, I can't be in labor. It's still too early And I don't want to go to the hospital. This is what I'm telling her And she was just like, okay. Well, I'm going to She had an event she was a part of that she had to help set up for or whatever So she was like, I'm going to the event and call me if anything So that day I was pretty much home alone with my two boys So I spent I literally put my four year old in front of TV that day Because I was like, I can't there's not much I could do right now Okay, so you're just gonna gotta sit in front of this TV and watch TV today Like I'm sorry And my two year old who was like I said, he wasn't really feeling good along with me He was just on me all day that day as well That day I tried. I really tried. I tried my best to um finish update my labor I was so determined. I was like, there's no way I'm in labor I have agriculture fear to be at to be at. There's no way I'm in labor. I was in denial.  Sorry if that's TMI My mother came home. She came in the bathroom and she was like, are you okay?  Well, I think it partially broke at that point But the water broke.  This is it at that point Everything that was going through my head that had me staying in denial Didn't matter anymore. I was like, yep The baby is coming today whether you like it or not So I come and what up back into the bathroom and I was like my water just broke call the midwife And I was like, I don't want to go to the hospital I don't want to go to the hospital. This is what I'm saying because I'm like I'm 35 weeks on one day And they call that they would consider that premature anything before 37 weeks They will consider three premature and even a midwife would send you to the hospital um If you're premature or whatever I said call the midwife I don't want to go to the hospital at that point I went into the shower because the contractions were kicking up at this point And I did most of my laboring in the shower because I was supposed to have a water bird. I was so unprepared I didn't have anything. I was supposed to have a This sister in was supposed to lend me her birth in pool I was supposed to have a water bird I didn't even have anything like none of the supplies I needed for a home bird. I didn't have nothing Okay, nothing I spent most of my time in the shower laboring running the hot water on my back reading through those contractions I had some music playing laundry was playing in the background Just to kind of keep my mind a little calm And um, yeah, my mother called the midwife and she was just like I'm on my way The midwife got there probably about around 130 ish Okay, this is what happened. My mom came home around 12 30 minutes to one And the midwife got there around between 130 minutes to two around two o'clock give or take And everything just sped up Like them contractions got more and more intense It got quick very close together It was I was just there breathing through them when I got out of the shower I was in my room and I just continued breathing through the contractions I recorded as much as I could like I said that footage is over on my patreon as she was going to say oh lay down And um, let me listen to the heartbeat. I was like, no, I can't lay down. I can't move I was standing up I was literally Wait I was I was at the end of my bed and I was literally standing up See the bed is like behind me right here and I was standing up like this with my With my legs open like that And that baby just came right down. I was standing up just like this. This is how I gave birth just like this um My baby was born May 26 at 340 p.m Healthy weighing six pounds flat 19 inches. I was healthy. He was healthy. We were good. I'm Sharing this because I want women to know that a healthy pregnancy A healthy birth all determines on the state of your health prior to even getting pregnant a healthy pregnancy and birth starts before conception and Like I said most midwives or Any doctor would say go to the hospital. Some might even call 911. I don't know But I knew the state of my health during my pregnancy and I knew I had a very healthy pregnancy I was not high risk. I didn't have any issues And I knew that I could give birth at home so I say this Because I I need women to understand that You have to take care of your body before you even conceive Okay, so a lot of these issues that arise while pregnant preclamps Yeah, gestational diabetes And all of that it's because of the state of your health prior to you even getting pregnant And it's unfortunate because a lot of it comes from miseducation where Women just really don't know and some know and don't care Do you sis? But A lot of women just don't know You have to be very mindful Of what you're eating and how you're living Before you get pregnant while you're pregnant and while you're breastfeeding A lot of time is hard for women because because we're already so stuck in our habits We're stuck in what we're used to we want instant gratification when it comes to our food When it comes to the things we do on a daily basis The things we listen to the things we watch Everything but it all affects you and then it affects the baby I am not telling women To go have a home birth if they go into labor early just like that. No, I'm not saying that that's not my message here I'm saying that I was able to do that because I was in a state to be able to do that But to be honest my baby was born the size of any full term baby Like full term babies are born at six pounds every day if he has stayed in there any longer There's no telling how big he would have gotten And I gave birth five weeks early. I just say that to say this we are given due dates But it is never accurate. It's never accurate. Okay. That's why we prefer to even just call it a due time You know anytime around this month. I am due although my due date was in june. I gave birth the end of May It is what it is.  So say he didn't come when he did I probably would have pushed my body even more beyond its limits because in my mind I had to get everything I needed to get done and in actuality. I actually needed to just rest So he came early and that's what I had to do after that. I had to rest I couldn't go to the agriculture fair. I had to sit it out And although I was very emotional about that in the moment everything happened the way it was supposed to happen And once again the baby saved my life I don't mean that in terms of a life and death thing for this situation I just mean in terms of me taking care of myself because I was really pushing my body beyond its limits I would never do that again not while pregnant Like I knew I wasn't supposed to be doing it But it's different when it's just you when you have so much to do and it's just you You know being a new single mom and all of that like I just felt like I needed to get it done And I didn't have the concrete support that I needed to say that I can delegate to other people to help me So it was pretty much all on me, but we were both healthy We were both happy and we are still doing well. No issues arise afterwards.  Yeah, that's how I gave birth at 35 weeks on one day at home And had a healthy baby With no with no issues no health issues and we're both healthy and safe So Like I said, if you want to see the in the moment footage of that find out more information all of the details regarding the birth and delivery and What I did afterwards With, you know lotus bird placenta here all of that all of that stuff is over on my patreon Already uploaded not bio.

Mae'n meddwl sy'n gweithio ni yn ymeth yma, ar y chymdeithas dros fynd, mae'n gweithio'n mynd i gael contiant hynny. Mae'n meddwl sydd yn hynny a'n ei ddylleg ynyddiadau gyda'r cyplodau? Mae'n meddwl. Cwrwp hyn ar gyfer ein tynneb am ddiwedd gan fynd. Ydw i'r bobl yn ei gilydd mewn cofnig, drwy'n credu bod hyn wedi myfio. Rydyn ni'n iawn i'r ffordd y se буду effaith a'r hyn o'r pryd. So, yep, we're really pleased with where we sit, at the most. Is that the activity now done for you? Are you still awaiting any further additions? There was a possibility last night of getting one over the land. We haven't had confirmation one way or the other, in terms of if it's gone through or not. And we'll just have to wait and see that, so I know I can't really enlighten you or me both. Is it a crucial target, a crucial player to come in? Obviously, we've wanted to do, clearly, because we're in. But if it doesn't happen, this happens all the time on the last days of window. You've just got to move on to players that you think will help. But that's where we are at the moment. We'll see what happens. If it wasn't to happen, you're satisfied with that? We've had a good window, in my view. Yeah, absolutely. I think the overall strength of the group has improved, in my view. The dynamic, to a certain extent, has changed. A lot more vocal. The guys that have come in, so that was something we wanted to improve. And I think that'll help the leadership of the group. So, overall, we're really pleased with what we've done. I read what you said about Sam's arrival, and again, that word of leadership was present there. Was that a big factor in bringing into the football club? Yeah, very much so. He's a talented boy. Good reputation at this level in league, league one level as well. And we think he'll add, certainly, to the group. And we've seen in the short space of time that he's been with us. That he's going to have a good influence on the group as a whole. I'm really pleased with that aspect of his personality, and of his ability, and I understand this again. That's a good presence. His leadership will add to the group, and we'll benefit from that. In terms of fitness, in what state does he arrive? Is he good to go? He's fit, ready to go. He hasn't had so much game time, but he's been training regularly. I think he was on the bench, not so long ago, for his previous club. So I haven't got a problem with his fitness. Levi's departure, just what was the reason behind why you let him go? I wanted to allow Levi the opportunity to play. Initially, it was pitched as a loan. So we kept our options open, but then a number of the clubs wanted to make it permanent. Then it really was about whether or not Levi wanted to do that, or he wanted to keep his option open, and remain out on it as a loan player. I've seen the deal that he's been offered is one that he wanted to make permanent. So I've got a lot of options, I've got a lot of good players in the building. I just felt I wasn't going to stand in his way. He's been great for us. He's played really well and been a big part of the team since I've been here, but sometimes you can't stand in people's way when they want to go to pastures in you. How is the dynamic now in the squad? Now there's some fresh faces in the building? Yeah, it's always good to freshen it up. There's a couple more playing pool I've noticed, so it's fine. I just think once the wind has closed, it's good that everybody knows this is where I'm going to be and from now to the end of the season, at least this is the group I'm going to be working with, so I'm delighted with it. I was going to say, as a manager, is it almost a relief that the wind... Yeah, to a certain extent. I think once it's closed, it settles everybody down, and the focus is about winning games. Do you live up to expectations at a lead-to transfer window? Well, it didn't disappoint me. I don't think it surprised me anymore. There's a lot of touring and throwing, and there's a lot of situations that can frustrate you. Some are agent led, some are club led, some are led by other managers. You've just got to basically get your ducks in a row, and it's sometimes difficult to get everybody lining up in the same way. That's why deals sometimes don't get done, so you have to accept it. Don't worry too much about it. You win some, you lose some. Speaking of relief, speaking of clarity, I mean, is it a relief that you've got a game of football to play? Yeah, well, we're looking forward to it here. It's been a little bit stopped out in recent weeks, so we just want to get into that rhythm of playing week in, week out, be it sat day, Tuesday sat day, sat day to sat day. I think the focus totally now is on getting out there playing and winning games. It probably goes with that saying, but is it something that the squads need because it has been so stopped out over the last two months? Yeah, well, it does seem rather fragmented, and it's difficult to get that rhythm to your player, that continuity of performance levels. It's been difficult to manage that, but we've now got decent run-off games, hopefully, if such a word would rely on the postponements. Hopefully, there's not going to be too many cool snaps. There will be, but hopefully they want an impact on the game, so let's hope we can have a clear run at it now. How is the fitness in the squad generally? Yeah, very good. Got good numbers every training session. Everybody's pushing to be involved, so I've got no problems in terms of numbers. What's Manny's situation? Manny's very, very close. Pretty much doing everything that everybody else is doing. We're keeping him out of a little bit of the contact. We're just using him as a guy floating between teams when we're playing small-sided stuff, just to keep the possibility of impact to a lower level. But I think Manny in himself feels he's ready to go. We need to try and get some bounce games organised just to give him some, obviously, putting back into the fray, so to speak, and then pretty much he's ready to go. It's always clearly one of the players that I feel will have an impact from now to the end of the season. That's one of the reasons I've been able to let other players go out, because I know that Manny's very, very close. Just looking at Mansfield and how, obviously, they've recruited this window as well. Naturally, I think people expect that from them. What do you expect from them now going in to that game? They'll be strong again. There's a big cohort of teams that aren't separated by huge amounts of points. So it's basically about going on a run. I'm sure they'll have the same aptitude of ourselves that we won't go on a run that will put us in a good position, and in a position where we can really attack the automatic places if we can. So we've got to get on with it. I'm sure that's what they're looking to do as well. There's any number of teams in a round, is that we'll be hoping that they can put together a run that will take them away from the following pack? So I don't think they'll be much different from ourselves in that regard. With 20 games to go, dare I say, is it a six-pointer now? Are we at that stage? No, I don't think it's there yet, but clearly you've heard me say before, it's always important to try and take points of teams in a round here. We will try and do that if we can. What a great performance and a great result against them at their place, showed what we were about, and yeah, we need more of the same at all. On the night we were excellent, so we need to try and replicate that if we can. Should you take confidence from how we performed? I think so, yeah. Why wouldn't we? We went there, difficult place midweek under the floodlights. No easy place to go. I think their home record was good at that point as well, and we went there, put in a good performance, got the result that we wanted, so we need to do that at the weekend if we can. After the stop-port game, he said that the one negative to come from that was the lack of chances maybe created in the 90 minutes. What's the solution to that? Is it something that needs to be solved going into the Mansfield game? Yeah, I did mention that. I think sometimes you have to give credit to the opposition as well, because they're going to defend their home, and they did that very well, as we did on the night, and that's why we, to a certain extent, cancelled each other out at the top end of the pitch. But I think there's more to come from us in terms of the final third of the pitch, and we've been working on that this week. Hopefully we'll see an improvement now. It's just about a bit more options and getting into better areas, and making sure when we get in those areas we produce the right quality ball. So, there's things that are fundamental to your attacking play that you have to replicate week in, week out, and on occasions we do lots of good things and we'll get up to a point on the pitch, and then we don't quite execute as well as we should do the key end of the pitch, which is obviously the final third. So, we're looking to improve that aspect of our play, certainly. Does the options that you have in your squad, the natural competition or the place that comes with that, does that then lead to a sharpness from the players? Well, yeah. I mean, this place is in the team. If somebody shows me in training and maybe coming off the bench or wherever, that they're ready to have a bigger impact, then I'll look at that. It's not the person that wasn't set in stone for every game. It's what I feel would be the best combination of players to get the job done. So, I've got lots of good options, different players, different types of players, different attributes that each and every one of them have that I can utilise. So, I've got good options. It's about picking the right options and in the right mix and getting the right balance. Thanks, mate. You play at least a good part of your career under the old transfer system when it wasn't a window. As a manager, you've always had the window. Is there one that you prefer? Well, from memory, I don't know. I did used to think that having the opportunity, if you felt you were weak in one area or you lost two or three players in the same position, then being able to go straight into the market and address that, I think that made sense. Having to wait obviously till the window opens and you've got a clear weakness to how you can address. I think sometimes that can be frustrating, but both systems have their pros and cons that are clearly at the top level, I think. It's that is that need because clubs can just address any weaknesses with money and throw money at it. I'm not sure we need a window at this level, possibly because sometimes you just need to address the weaknesses in your squad and it sometimes hampers that. That can be really detrimental to what kind of year and season you're going to have and what kind of success or go for bit failure you're going to have. It can impact that readily. So, if you have to wait because you can address a position that's clear for everybody to see, then that's dangerous. I have no strong, really strong feelings. There's your thoughts and every system has its good parts and bad parts, I think. I suppose as a manager, you know what touched on it, that a lot of the sides that you've looked at and seen how they're playing, they brought new players in. It's a case of going back to the beginning to get them seeing how they're playing. A little better, yeah, everybody seems to have added to their squad and yeah, there's been quite a few changes and there's an obvious one, obviously. We were looking at the Jillingham game and they were struggling at that time and the game was called off and now they've had the opportunity of a window and they've strengthened and gone into the market really strongly. So, yeah, that's how teams can change their fortunes around. So, yeah, it will be different. We'll go up against teams that we face, but actually we'll be facing teams that possibly will cause you different or more problems than they have done in the first half of the season. But clearly that's what we want to do as well. So, we've got to make sure our changes and our personnel are able to impact opposition teams better than their additions are able to do against us. So, looking forward to it, it's exciting that I think everybody also win the closes. Everybody slows down and gets on with the important battle, which is obviously winning games. And you mentioned, excuse me, you mentioned bounce games for the likes of many. How difficult are they to organise? Give them the way they are and give them the number of games that are taken to play in any way? Yeah, sometimes it is difficult, but we were able to get a really good game against Rotherham the other day and they had a free weekend, obviously it was every cup weekend. So, they were without a game. We weren't playing either clearly. So, we had a good game on the Friday, almost near enough that our first team and all the guys had a great deal of games from outside. So, a really good game, really competitive, exactly what you want from a bounce game. Sometimes, if you don't get, if you call to the other, both teams are making games where predominantly you've got younger players, they've got older players and sometimes you don't get the benefit that you're looking for, but I don't want to get to Rotherham who was excellent in that regard and really brought a lot of the guys forward. So, really appreciative of that. It's something that we'll look to do as of when we see fit, because we've got Manny, but obviously we'll have players that will need game time just to keep them ready to be available and make an impact when needed. So, Mark, about Manny, obviously the fact that there have been all these post-pacments, he's probably sat there thinking there's another one up. He's probably absolutely delighted to fit. Yeah, well, there's more games for him. Yeah, absolutely. Yeah, take your point. Yeah, he's in a good place at the moment. He's very positive.  He's got great personality, just desperate to be part of what we're doing. We've got to be a little bit careful. Clearly he was a significant injury that he's had and we're guided up to a point by the specialist and he hasn't absolutely been given the green light, but he's like, I think, 80% healed and he's probably at 79.9, but he's just not quite there. So we have to wait a little bit, but I think in his own mind he feels he's ready to go. So I think that's the important thing that he has that confidence in the injury and the way the injury is healed and how it's progressed. Everything's been on track. He's pretty much touched and hasn't had any setbacks. So that's great, given the severity of the injury. I was going to say, when you cast your mind back to something in the immediate aftermath, did you imagine you potentially be getting in for, well, probably a third of the season? No, I think there was a real concern when the injury happened and obviously it happened in the first game was shocking for everybody and I credit him money. He's done everything that he's needed to do to get back to this position and be ready to go. So we're really pleased for him. We're fairly okay at game time from now to the end of the season, almost certainly, because he'll demand it probably because that's the guy he is. So was his recovery sort of a factor when you were thinking in, during the window, sort of thinking, well, I know this guy is going to be going to be available for you? Yeah, I mentioned it earlier. Yeah, I look at the different players I've got, the different options I've got and money is a really good player to help back. He can play any number of positions, sees himself predominantly as an eight, but can play in wider positions as well, which he's asked to good effect. So it's got that we've got, hopefully, to get him back and available to offer where he can offer. That's people saying obviously about the window you mentioned Gillingham, I think they brought in 10 players or something. I mean, something that doesn't happen in the Premier League, isn't it?  No, there's big turn. There's going to be a different side. It's like the summer as well, if we're honest. I mean, it's, yeah, there's always a big turn of players either at the end of contracts or not going to be renewed. So they have to look at their futures. So that churn happens at the end of seasons and clearly in January as well. So, yeah, it's just how the market is. It's frustrating that, as you say, you couldn't play a team that were sort of really struggling at the time, probably during the form. Yeah, yeah, but maybe when you talk about luck during the season, maybe that's a little bit of fortune that they've had, but they've still got to go out and play and jail and win games. So it's not easy to do. So, yeah, we'll take the game as and when it comes, but that's a few weeks away. So we'll concentrate on the weekend first. And obviously now you've got your squad in, as you say, you can sort of focus on the rest of the season. No distractions. I mean, in your head, if everyone is fit, have you got an ideal first 11? Yeah, on any given week, it can change, because obviously you've got a factor in the opposition on how they play. Do you shape up to really compensate and address any attacking threat they have? Or sometimes you're more often, not we, we back ourselves to play how we play. And big teams are currently. So, no, I wouldn't say this. In my own mind, this is the strongest 11 because we can go different ways and different players will suit different systems and different ways of going. So I'm really happy with the group we've got. I feel we're strong in almost every area that we need to be. And that gives me comfort, gives me confidence that we can have a good finish to the season. And obviously Sam Stubbs coming in also potentially gives you the option of going with 3.5 as well. Yeah, yeah, that's a little bit of thinking behind it. So I feel confident that's something that we could do if we felt that we needed to do that or I was correct to do. So it's all about the amount of options I give myself and how strong those options are. You can go with different ways and different personnel but if people aren't comfortable in the positions you give them then sometimes I can weaken you rather than strengthen you. So I think given the players that we have in the building now I think I can go anyway and we'll still be strong in respect of which way we go. That's a busy city. If you've got that weapon you'll be able to swap formations. Opponents look at you now and they can't sort of pigeonhole that's fairway a 4-3. Yeah and I've always got the options to change it during the game as well. So you need that flexibility tactically to recognise first and foremost what's going on, what's needed and what's required. And that can be just a change of shape within the game but a change of personnel from the bench. So it's about recognising what the problem is. A token of options is sort of considering his record against Manfielders. Andy Cook been banging on your door a bit. Last few days. Yeah it's a difficult one with Andy. He broke his nose and it's only seven, eight days ago I think. And I think the recommendation is probably 10 to 14 days. So today we kept him away from contact. Trained today within the group and fair to say he was a little bit apprehensive but I think as the session went on he was better. And really he's just about seeing where he is and how comfortable he is. It's no point having Andy Cook holding back if he's a little bit worried by a bang on his nose because given the way he plays that is a possibility. So we'll just have to make a decision clearly tomorrow and go from that point. But obviously once a player he had a great game against them last time out. Old club of this or yours likes going up against clubs he's played for. So we'll give him as long as he's as long as we can to see if he can be involved. So you've also got to be wary that following the following week you've then got I think for four and six Tuesday nights I think as well. Well that's the thing. If it's a case of missing one to make sure that he's okay for the three four or whatever that that's following quick succession that's what we have to do. But hopefully he'll be okay. Okay, no problem.


About 40 million adults age 18 and older suffer from anxiety in the U.S., making it the most common mental disorder in the region. It develops from a complex set of factors that include genetics, brain chemistry, personality, and life events. It's more than just feeling nervous to speak at a public event. It's a mental disorder characterized by excessive worry or fear strong enough to interfere with daily life. With that, many don't realize things a person does because of their anxiety. This is a list of 13 of those things. Number one, you disappear without notice. Anxiety can hit you anywhere, whether it's at the grocery store, a party, or at work. You just need 15 minutes alone to recollect yourself. People who don't understand anxiety may see this as rude or weird, but it's something that you really need. Number two, you freak out over the time it takes someone to respond to your text. Anxiety blows a lot of things out of proportion. Whether you send a text to your mom or that special someone, when they take a while to respond, you begin to wonder if what you said was a little too weird, too rude, or if you're annoying them. Why are they taking forever? Was it something I said? Number three, you over-check things. Teachers have always told you to double-check your homework before kerning it in. But what if you check it too much? Too much to the point of never kerning it in. Your anxiety makes you a perfectionist. Whether it's homework or checking to see if the door is locked, you check and re-check things multiple times. Sometimes you know something is perfect, but your anxiety won't let you relax unless it's checked one more time. Or two. Number four, you don't go to parties. It's not that you're anti-social, you actually do want to go to the party. Whether it's worrying about the big crowd or loud music, all you want to do is have a good time like everyone else.  Because of that, you skip the party altogether. Number five, you've let opportunities pass you by. As a perfectionist, you often think you're not good enough for opportunities presented to you.  Because of this, you convince yourself to not take the opportunity at all. But before we continue with the list, we'd like to thank our sponsor Intention Inspired.

People with anxiety tend to remember the exact date of traumatic events. When the date arrives, those emotions once again surface, making it very difficult to get on with your day-to-day routine. Number seven, you hold on to your phone too much. Sometimes it's hard for you to just sit and wait. It makes you uneasy to see people busy with something while you're just sitting there. As a result, you need to have your phone or something to fidget with. Number eight, you don't make new friends. It may seem like you don't want to make new friends, but you actually worry too much about the kind of impression you're making on people. Afraid? You convince yourself that making no impression is better than making a bad one. As a result, you end up keeping to yourself even though you really want to meet new people. Number nine, you dread going to school slash work even though you've done it a million times before. Unfortunately, anxiety doesn't care about how many times you've done your day-to-day routine. It hits when it wants to hit. Before going to work, you may feel your heart race, have sweaty palms, and feel jittery. Number 10, you're clingy in relationships. You really care about your partner. And due to that, you may ask too many questions or send too many texts because you want to know how they are. This may come off as clingy, but your intentions aren't bad.  Number 11, you cancel plans. Making plans is tough because in the moment of making a plan, you're confident and ready to take on the world. When the date finally rolls around, anxiety can all of a sudden hit and you have to cancel. Sometimes you even have to cancel the plans you made in the first place. Number 12, you rehearse what you're going to say before making a phone call. You prep and rehearse everything you're going to say before making a phone call because you're afraid of making a mistake or forgetting what you had to say. Now, this is great for phone interviews, but it's exhausting when all you want to do is ask customer service a question or talk to a friend. Number 13, when you ask someone to be alone, you're not asking them to leave forever. Sometimes you need a break for people in order to calm yourself down. When you take that break, people who don't understand anxiety tend to think you're either upset with them or that you don't like them. It's hard for you to keep friends because of this. You do need your alone time, but you're not asking to be left alone forever. That's the end of the video.

Once we were born as human beings, somehow life got little complicated. It would have been very simple. If it came here like any other creatures on the planet, everything is fine. When we were hungry, we also believed that once we take care of our survival, everything is going to be fine, no? Now once we realize somehow survival process is not good enough, there seems to be a need to do something more. Immediately a whole industry, which we call as religion and spirituality sprung up. All kinds of people trying to tell you what you need to do to fulfill your life or how you can never fulfill your life but you have to go to heaven. This has taken on so many forms, so many and the diversity is wonderful but the deception is quite shameful. The name of religion, the name of believing this or that, we have broken humanity into so many pieces that we can never fix it. It almost looks like we can't fix it. Then came the spiritual leaders. There have been some truly wonderful, absolutely incredible masters of past and present but at the same time too many of all kinds of different levels of ignorance and different levels of intention has grown into it. There's all kinds of deception in the world but the religious and the spiritual kind is the grossest kind unfortunately.  Yes or no?  A politician who's quarreling with his opposition all the time, when somebody dies even he goes but the spiritual people, they won't miss an opportunity. Somebody's dead who's dear to someone and that moment they want to use. Even a common criminal wouldn't do that. Isn't it so? Somebody's dead in the house, I don't think any… you know like a house which's in Cunderlands was ever burgled. Usually it doesn't happen you know, even he avoids it. So it becomes extremely important to present the spiritual process in its proper light for what it really is. On a certain day a bull was grazing upon the field. Chomp, chomp, chomp, chomp, chomp, chomp, chomp, chomp, chomp, chomp, chomp, chomp, chomp, chomp, chomp, chomp. Grazing, grazing, grazing, grazing, grazing, went deep into the forest. Weeks of grazing on lush grass became nice and fat. A lion which was passed its prime was having difficulty hunting.  Stomach became full. Then with great satisfaction like our friend rolled. There were a few hunters passing that way. They heard the roar.    I was two years ago when I was at the economic forum. Somebody was speaking about something. Actually they were talking about brick making. You know, this is my problem. I'm interested in everything. There is nothing that doesn't interest me. So, spiritual process is just this. A deeper involvement with life. Much deeper than people would ever imagine. Not just living the surface, living the core. This is not some bull that you read in some book. This is not some nonsense that you received from somewhere. This is going to the very core of life. And you cannot go to the core of life unless you are willing to pay attention to the detail of life. Nothing in the existence will yield to you unless you pay attention to it, isn't it? Yes? Women are all nodding. Men are not saying anything. Nothing ever yields to you unless you pay attention to it, isn't it so? Yes. And nothing ever cannot yield to you if you pay enough attention to it. The creation and the creator has to yield to you if you pay substantial attention to it. So, if you are willing to pay substantial attention to something, everything will yield. I was just telling them, you know you heard of Andrew Carnegie? Have you heard of Carnegie? Carnegie in twentieth century became one of the richest men in America. In a very short span of time, in a single generation, just himself. So when as a young man, he got into business and his business started multiplying at a phenomenal pace. He started making money at a pace that America had not witnessed till then. So naturally the administration got suspicious that he may be doing some criminal activity to make so much money. They put his business through the scanner and they couldn't find anything wrong. Then they set up an inquiry for him. A group of congressmen were conducting this inquiry and then they asked, we have looked through your business in every possible way and we don't find anything wrong. So how is it that you make so much money? What is this? So Carnegie said, see I can keep my mind focused on something for five minutes at a stretch. Five minutes I can keep my mind focused on something. Can any one of you do it? They all said no. And they actually set up some experiments. None of them could keep their mind focused more than a few seconds. Then he said, you should not be running United States. Nothing yields unless you pay enough attention and there is nothing in the existence which cannot yield if you pay enough attention to it. So spiritual process is just about paying attention to life. Taking this attention deeper and deeper where not just the creation, the very source of creation becomes a living reality for you. Even the source of creation has to yield.  He doesn't want to yield but he cannot do anything. He has to come. There are many stories like this. This is just to tell you if human consciousness is substantially focused, even the source of creation cannot deny to you. Even that has to yield. So this is a choice we have either to exist here just as flesh and bone as a piece of creation or as the creator himself. This is the choice we have. When you exercise this choice, when you do not waste this choice, when you actually exercise this choice, then we say you are on the spiritual path. I cannot understand how anybody can not be on the spiritual path because this is everybody's aspiration. Everybody wants to be something more than what he is right now, isn't it so? That something more happens he wants to be something more. This is a spiritual path conducted in a foolish way. If you conducted the right way, then it produces results.  Most people die as an aspiration unfortunately. Very few people die as a realization. An aspiration is good as a starting point but an aspiration is not a good thing as an ending point, isn't it so? Yes, an aspiration is a good thing as a starting point. An aspiration is not a good thing as a closing point. Closing point should be realization. Beginning point is aspiration, that's okay.


Chapter 8. Part II. O'Connell's Leadership. The Clare Election. Emancipation of the Catholics. The Catholic Association, on the accession of the Wellington Peele Cabinet, had publicly pledged itself to oppose every man who would accept office under these statesmen. The memory of both as ex-secretaries, but especially peals, was odious in Ireland. When, however, the Duke had sustained, and ensured thereby the passage of the repeal of the Corporation and Test Acts, Mr. O'Connell, at the suggestion of Lord John Russell, the mover of the repeal, endeavored to get his angry and uncompromising resolution against the Duke's government rescinded. Powerful as he was, however, the association refused to go with him, and the resolution remained. So it happened that when Mr. Fitzgerald presented himself to the electors of Clare, as the colleague of Peele and Wellington, the association at once endeavored to bring out an opposition candidate. They pitched with this view on Major McNamara, a liberal Protestant of the county, at the head of one of its oldest families and personally popular, but this gentleman, after keeping them several days in suspense till the time of nomination was close at hand, positively declined to stand against his friend, Mr. Fitzgerald, to the great dismay of the associated Catholics. In their emergency, an idea, so bold and original, that it was at first received with general incredulity by the external public, was started. It was remembered by Sir David DeRousse, a personal friend of O'Connell's, that the late sagacious John Keough had often declared the Emancipation Question would never be brought to an issue till some Catholic member-elect stood at the bar of the House of Commons demanding his seat. A trusted view were at first consulted on the daring proposition, that O'Connell himself, in despite of the legal exclusion of all men of his religion, should come forward for Clare. Many were the consultations and diverse the judgments delivered on this proposal, but at length, on the reception of information from the county itself, which gave strong assurance of success, the hero of the adventure decided for himself. The bold course was again selected as the wise course, and the spirit-stirring address of the arch-agitator to the electors was at once issued from Dublin. Your country, he began by saying, wants a representative. I respectfully solicit your suffrages to raise me to that station. Of my qualifications to fill that station, I leave you to judge. The habits of public speaking, and many, many years of public business, render me perhaps equally suited with most men to attend to the interests of Ireland in Parliament. You will be told I am not qualified to be elected. The assertion, my friends, is untrue. I am qualified to be elected and to be your representative. It is true that as a Catholic I cannot, and of course never will, take the oaths at present prescribed to members of Parliament. But the authority which created these oaths, the Parliament, can abrogate them. And I entertain a confident hope that, if you elect me, the most bigoted of our enemies will see the necessity of removing from the chosen representative of the people an obstacle which would prevent him from doing his duty to his king and to his country. This address was followed instantly by the departure of all the most effective agitators to the scene of the great contest. Sheel went down as conducting agent for the candidate, Lawless left his Belfast newspaper, and Father Maguire his letram-flog, Messers Steele and O'Gorman Mahon, both proprietors in the county were already in the field, and O'Connell himself soon followed. On the other hand, the leading county families, the O'Brien's, McNamara's, Vendalur's, Fitzgerald's and others, declared for their old favourite, Mr. Fitzgerald. He was personally much liked in the county, the son of a venerable anti-unionist, the well-remembered prime sergeant, and a man besides of superior abilities. The county itself was no easy one to contest. Its immense constituency, the forty shilling freeholders had not yet been abolished, were scattered over a mountain and valley region more than fifty miles long by above thirty wide. They were almost everywhere to be addressed in both languages, English and Irish, and when the canvas was over they were still to be brought under the very eyes of the landlords upon the breath of whose lips their subsistence depended to vote the overthrow and conquest of those absolute masters. The little county town of Ennis, situated on the river Fergus, about one hundred and ten miles south-west of Dublin, was the centre of attraction or of apprehension, and the hills that rise on either side of the little prosaic river soon swarmed with an unwanted population, who had resolved, subsist how they might, to see the election out. It is hardly an exaggeration to say that the eyes of the empire were turned, during those days of June, on the ancient patrimony of King Brian. I fear the clear election will end ill, wrote the viceroy to the leader of the House of Commons. This business, wrote the Lord Chancellor, Eldon, must bring the Roman Catholic question to a crisis and a conclusion. May the God of Truth and Justice protect and prosper you, was the public invocation for O'Connell's success by the Bishop of Kildare and Leglan. It was foreseen, said Sir Robert Peel, long afterwards, that the clear election would be the turning point of the Catholic question. In all its aspects, and to all sorts of men, this then was no ordinary election, but a national event of the utmost religious and political consequence. Thirty thousand people welcomed O'Connell into Ennis, and universal sobriety in order characterised the proceedings. The troops called out to overall the peasantry, infected by the prevailing good humour, joined in their cheers. The nomination, the polling, and the declaration have been prescribed by the graphic pen of Sheil. At the close of the poll the numbers were O'Connell, 2057, Fitzgerald, 1075, so Daniel O'Connell was declared duly elected amidst the most extraordinary manifestations of popular enthusiasm. Mr. Fitzgerald, who gracefully bowed to the popular verdict, sat down and wrote his famous dispatch to Sir Robert Peel. All the great interests, he said, my dear Peel, broke down, and the desertion has been universal. Such a scene as we have had! Such a tremendous prospect as is open before us. This tremendous prospect, disclosed at the hustings of Ennis, was followed up by demonstrations which bore a strongly revolutionary character. Mr. O'Connell, on his return to Dublin, was accompanied by a levy en masse all along the route of a highly imposing description. Mr. Lawless, on his return to Belfast, was escorted through Mietha in Monahan by a multitude estimated at one hundred thousand men, whom only the most powerful persuasions of the Catholic clergy, and the appeals of the well known liberal commander of the district, General Thornton, induced to disperse. Troops from England were ordered over in considerable numbers, but whole companies, composed of Irish Catholics, signalized their landing at Waterford and Dublin by cheers for O'Connell. Reports of the continued hostility of the government suggested desperate councils. Mr. Ford, a Catholic solicitor, openly proposed in the association exclusive dealings and a run on the banks for specie, while Mr. John Claudius Beresford, and other leading Orange men, publicly predicted a revival of the scenes and results of 1798. The Claire election was indeed decisive. Lord Anglesey, who landed fully resolved to make no terms with those he had regarded from a distance as no better than rebels, became now one of their warmest partisans. His favorite councillor was Lord Cloncurrie, the early friend of Emmett and O'Connell, the true friend to the last of every national interest. For a public letter to Bishop Curtis, towards the close of 1828, in which he advises the Catholics to stand firm, he was immediately recalled from the government, but his former and his actual chief, within three months from the date of his recall, was equally obliged to surrender to the association. The Great Duke was, or affected to be, really alarmed for the integrity of the Empire, from the menacing aspect of events in Ireland. A call of Parliament was accordingly made for an early day, and on the 5th of March, Mr. Peel moved a committee of the whole house, to go into consideration of the civil disabilities of His Majesty's Roman Catholic subjects. This motion, after a two days debate, was carried by a majority of 188. On the 10th of March the relief bill was read for the first time, and passed without opposition, such being the arrangement entered into while in committee. But in five days all the bigotry of the land had been aroused. Nine hundred and fifty-seven petitions had already been presented against it. That from the City of London was signed by more than a hundred thousand freeholders. On the 17th of March it passed to a second reading, and on the 30th to a third, with large majorities in each stage of debate. Out of three hundred and twenty members who voted on the final reading, one hundred and seventy-eight were in its favour. On the 31st of March it was carried to the lords by Mr. Peel, and read a first time. Two days later, on the second of April, it was read a second time, on motion of the Duke of Wellington. A bitterly contested debate of three days followed. On the 10th it was read a third time, and passed by a majority of one hundred and four. Three days later the bill received the royal assent and became law. The only drawbacks on this, the great measure of long withheld justice, were that it disenfranchised the forty shilling freeholders throughout Ireland, and condemned Mr. O'Connell by the insertion of the single word hereafter, to go back to Claire for re-election. In this there was little difficulty for him, but much petty spleen in the framers of the measure. While the relief bill was still under discussion, Mr. O'Connell presented himself with his counsel at the Bar of the House of Commons to claim his seat as Member for Claire. The pleadings in the case were adjourned from day to day, during the months of March, April and May. A committee of the House, of which Lord John Russell was Chairman, having been appointed in the meantime to consider the petition of Thomas Mayan and others, against the validity of the election, reported that Mr. O'Connell had been duly elected. On the 15th of May, introduced by Lord Ebrington and Duncanon, the new member entered the House and advanced to the table to be sworn by the clerk. On the oath of abjuration being tender to him, he read over audibly these words, that the sacrifice of the Mass and the invocation of the Blessed Virgin Mary and other Saints, as now practiced in the Church of Rome, are impious and idolatrous. At the subsequent passage, relative to the falsely imputed Catholic doctrine of the dispensing power of the Pope, he again rattled out and paused. Then, slightly raising his voice, he bowed and added, I decline, Mr. Clerk, to take this oath. Part of it I know to be false. Another part I do not believe to be true. He was subsequently heard at the bar, in his own person, in explanation of his refusal to take the oath, and according to custom withdrew. The House then entered into a very animated discussion on the Solicitor General's motion, that Mr. O'Connell, having been returned a member of this House before the passing of the Act of the Relief of Roman Catholics, he is not entitled to sit or vote in this House unless he first takes the oath of supremacy. For this motion the vote on a division was one hundred and ninety against one hundred and sixteen, majority seventy-four. So Mr. O'Connell had again to seek the suffrages of the electors of Clare. A strange but well authenticated incident struck with a somewhat superstitious awe both Protestants and Catholics, in a corner of Ireland the most remote from Clare, but not the least interested in the result of its memorable election. A lofty column on the walls of Denny bore the effigy of Bishop Walker, who fell at the boine, armed with a sword, typical of his martial inclinations, rather than of his religious calling. Many long years, by day and night, had his sword sacred to liberty or ascendancy, according to the eyes with which the spectator regarded it, turned a steadfast point to the broad estuary of Loch Foyle. Neither wintry storms nor summer rains had loosened it in the grasp of the warlike churchman's effigy. Until, on the thirteenth day of April, eighteen twenty-nine, the day the royal signature was given to the act of emancipation, the sword of Walker fell with a prophetic crash upon the ramparts of dairy, and was shattered to pieces. So we may now say, without bitterness and almost without reproach, so may fall and shiver to pieces every code in every land beneath the sun, which impiously attempts to shackle conscience, or endows an exclusive case with the rites and franchises which belong to an entire people.

Reliabilit ja valitit ovat tietysti tärkeä kautta researcha. Toisaalta reliabilit ja valitit in quantitative research, meillä on hyvin ympäristöinen set of tools. For example, in reliability, we measure the same thing many times, and then we compare if those measures are consistent from the same person. If they are, we conclude that there is no random measurement there in the data, and therefore the data are reliable. In quantitative analysis, the analysis is done by a computer, and computer doesn't make random mistakes, therefore reliability is only a feature of our data. When we analyze validity in quantitative research, we have the statistical conclusion validity, which refers to whether things are calculated correctly and what we calculate in the sample applies to population. Internal validity refers to whether we have a solid research design with good controls or with other techniques that ensure that our associations are actually evidence of causality and not just tourist correlations. Construct validity is more difficult to argue, but that's basically an assessment of whether the data, the numbers that we have actually measure what they are supposed to measure. So it's the correspondence between the numbers and the constructs. And then external validity, which was generalizability, basically we are analytically infer whether the finding from our population applies to other populations. And how we do that, we typically just look at what are the characteristics of our population and then how would those characteristics influence our results. So that's more of a theoretical exercise than a statistical exercise. So how do we do this kind of assessment in qualitative data analysis? We have to first understand that in qualitative data analysis you're starting with reliability. So reliability was the lack of random noise or lack of chance errors in our data. In qualitative data analysis, the analysis itself is non-deterministic. So whereas in quantitative research when you give numbers to a computer, the computer will always give you the same output. So if you calculate the correlation from one sample and then you calculate the same correlation from the same sample again, the correlation will always be the same. This is not necessarily the case in qualitative research. So if you have qualitative data and a person analyzes a data, then the person makes his interpretations or interpretations based on her prior knowledge and it is possible that if a person in a hypothetical scenario would analyze the data again without remembering anything of the first data analysis round, the result would be different. So we can't really do this kind of recode and then code again, at least if we have one person. So how do we do it? There are two main ways of arguing reliability and checking for the reliability of a research study. The first thing is that you need to document your data well. So if your data is well documented, then this increases the likelihood that if someone were to reanalyse the data, they would come to the same conclusion. If your data is only your own field note that are just meant for you for that particular moment, then if you were to return to those data let's say one year later or those field notes, then it may be difficult to reproduce the old result and then your study would not be reliable. Another thing that you can apply is that if you code your data, you can have two coders. So two people simultaneously analyze the data without talking to one another and then you check whether how those people coded the data, if they coded it in the same way, if yes, that is evidence for reliability, if no, that's evidence for lack of reliability. So reliability in qualitative research is typically about how do we interpret the data that we observe. We assume basically here that if we observe something, then that observation is reliable. So reliability is more about coding. Then we had internal validity, which is about whether the causal claims are correct or not. And in statistical analysis, this relates to how we calculated things correctly and do we have the right controls to have a valid experimental design. In qualitative data analysis, what is important is that you look at the data rigorously. So you don't just cherry-pick on some findings that support whatever you want to say.  Then you should also look at cases that don't support your hypothesis or your theory. For example, if you're studying whether a CO-gender influences profitability and you have an initial theory that if you name a woman as a CEO, then the profitability will go up. You need to also look at those cases where a woman was named as a CEO, but profitability didn't go up. Or where profitability went up after naming a man as a CEO. Then you analyze those cases and that allows you to come to more valid causal interpretations because that reduces the effect of spurious findings. So you need to understand under which situations scenarios does the CEO gender lead to profitability differences. Then you also need to compare your findings against prior studies. So you need to check if there are prior studies, prior theories that would challenge your finding. And if there's a prior study that challenges your finding, you need to understand why your finding is different from the prior study. And then finally, theory trianguloista refers to that you need to look at the data from different theoretical perspectives. So internal validities basically in qualitative research refers to the level of rigor in your analysis. And the more rigorous your analysis is, the more likely your causal claims are correct. Then we have construct validity, which basically refers to do my data, measure the concepts that I claim them to measure. And there are a couple of different techniques. One is that we need to triangulate. So it is possible that we misinterpret our data. If we have two different kinds of data, for example, we have videos and we have interviews. Or we have interviews and then we have company documents. Then we code both of those and if we extract the same meaning from two different data sets. For example, if three different kinds of data indicate that the company is innovative, then that supports the claim that we are actually making a valid inference. Compared to just saying that, for example, if a person in the company tells that that company is innovative and that is only source of evidence that we have, then it's not very construct valid because we don't know if the person is honest or not. The second thing in construct validity is that we have to establish a clear chain of evidence and here using qualitative data analysis software will help you. So you look from specific observations and then how you infer a general concept from those specific observations. Then people can, in ideal scenarios, people can check if they agree with our interpretations. If two people agree on the interpretation, then we would consider that also as evidence of construct validity. Finally, we have external validity which is the same as theorisability and here things work basically the same way as in quantitative research. So in quantitative research we have this good set of tools that we can apply to make inferences about the population that we study. External validity is about whether the population that you're studying represents also some other populations. So do the findings from our focal population extend to other populations as well and in qualitative data analysis this is the same. We don't really have any tools for that, we just have to apply what's called analytical generalization. So you try to think that okay, we studied something in Finland that relates to culture. Maybe this effect generalizes to other cultures similar to Finland. And how do you then evaluate existing studies? So when you do a study yourself, these are good principles to hold in mind. But evaluating studies done by others you can basically evaluate the reliability and validity by checking to what extent these good principles are present in the study that you're evaluating.
