I see there's a on on On telegram I posted a video on the n5d telegram channel and I'll put a link in the chat right now But uh, yeah on the n5d telegram channel, there's a video Where it says that there's a supernova That's about to explode this week, which is pretty huge news when when that happens You know, there's there's gonna be all this energy that's propelled out And you know eventually it's gonna reach our planet. I'm not sure how long that would take Which is something of interest that I thought I would point out to everyone I Am on a band from Facebook Account was restricted Yeah, this is my Facebook page that only I can see this well apparently you guys can see it now, too So My posts will be moved lower in the feed for the next two weeks so That's what it is so I'm Shadowband even worse than before this is interesting Have it on you right now, but Joe Biden on the same day he had two different speeches even though he's wearing two different ties It's the same day that he made these speeches and just look at These people I mean do they look the same? This is the same day that guy looks more like John McCain Yeah, so one of these if not both is either a clone a doppelganger Who knows and then with Nancy Pelosi, you know, there's something up that's going on with her because you know, I made a post on telegram and it's interesting because She's flying to Taiwan and China isn't happy about it So I know I know that her plane had issues and had to land in Hawaii and then Biden's administration allegedly according to CNN. There's your alleged You know try to persuade Nancy not to go there, which is more theater and then a Commentator for China's global times warned that if US fighter jets escort Pelosi's plane into Taiwan, it's gonna It's gonna lead to an invasion and that the PLA has the right to forcibly Take Pelosi's plane and any of the US fighter jets down and then that tweet was Twitter deleted that tweet I've heard stories about her planes transponders were switched and it's possible that This is a setup and Pelosi's unmanned plane. Who knows what would happen to it? you know, I think she's landed though right now, but um there's a lot of really questionable things that are going on with Pelosi going there and Well, you be you make the decision yourself.

I'm gonna talk about spiritual rockers and I'll be bringing in whoever wants to come in and join us afterwards I want to thank everyone who will be coming in.  I Remember as a kid I Took guitar lessons. I was like eight nine years old and I was taking guitar lessons from this big band orchestra conductor Linus Hauke He lived at the end of our street. I'd walk down there and I'd take Guitar lessons on my acoustic guitar And he would he was an older man.  I'm 62 in October. That's probably what an eight-year-old would think.  I wanted to play Led Zeppelin But how do you as an eight-year-old Say I want to learn bar chords and I want to I want you to teach me how to get distortion out of my guitar Because it was shortly afterwards He was teaching me all the root chords like a C D G All the basic stuff and the root chords are all the chords that you play at the end of the guitar, right down here and That's all the that's the basics Everyone has to learn those and then he'd teach me how he taught me how to read music Which I forgot since then but he would teach me like stupid things like Camp town races, right? I don't know why I still remember that I mean even that would have been better if he had taught me Harmonics with a a dive bomb with a whammy bar. That would have been better but no, I just Learned that on basically my first acoustic guitar, which had nylon strings And the strings were like that far away from the the neck then my grandfather bought me a my mother's father bought me a My first electric guitar and amp And basically it was an amplified acoustic the amp had no distortion to it. So I still didn't understand distortion but my sister's boyfriend david had A fender Stratocaster and he had a little fender twin reverb amp And he he was he was a drummer in a local band and he taught me my first bar chord And I was like so blown away with a bar chord. I'm like wow See that's a g bar chord. It's the same as this Except that's a g power chord Same thing and then with a bar chord all you do is just move it up like a fret or two If like if I move this g Up two frets it becomes an a Which is this So you can move that same thing without moving your fingers Anyway, just moving them up and down the fretboard and it gives you a different chord So the first song I actually learned was uh train kept it rolling My sister's boyfriend david the drummer taught me that and it's all based on A bar chord that was my introduction to guitar. It took me a while. It took my sister's boyfriend's drummers Ability on guitar to teach me bar chords and then eventually I I learned scales and pentatonics my major pentatonics minor pentatonics aole and fridgian All these different scales that are out there and you learn how to play lead And it's a it's a progressing thing But once you learn all that stuff the root chords and everything I mean just the root chords alone I mean like a Those chords are used in so many songs for example So we're looking at the g c g Or the d c g yeah dc g uh skid row. I remember you knocking on heaven store Somehow it's those chords and I don't remember specific specifically out That brought me into you know all that stuff from that point forward You can write music. You can write your own music, you know It's just a matter of Improvising the chords and taking it into a different direction now What I want to talk about today is the spiritual side of rock and roll and that'll be bringing everyone in um And there's an article that I wrote and you can find it on in 5d and I've got a link to it down below And we're just going to cover some of it here Okay The screen share and we'll jump into that This this is a article I wrote in 2015 spiritual side of rock and roll And we'll start out, you know, john lennon a lot of people know of him especially from his His work in music imagine which is a brilliant song of course But he's got a ton of quotes where you know, he expresses his spirituality and You know, he's he's completely outspoken as uh, you know as a musician and in his beliefs and spirituality you know He's not a big big on organized religion, which you know, many of us are not either um now Here's steven tallor, you know, whatever you want to believe He was a self-reclaimed practitioner of crowley magic And this is a quote. I've practiced crowley magic. So I know it works So i'm not saying that every girl I slept with came at the same time or that I asked her to pray for the same thing I was praying for namely that aero smith would become the greatest american band This is interesting. Tyler even experienced elementals in the form of wood sprites Hang on a sec I'm gonna get back into this in a second. I just want to get the right Screen out out there. Yeah, let's go with this one. Okay So yeah, he was talking about Sprites right you can't find my town there it is Okay So Yeah, he goes on to say I saw this place in the woods where the sun was coming through And i'm walking around with my slingshot at nine years old It was so quiet in there. I thought I heard something called The children of the woods It was my first spiritual moment. I've always been writing songs to try to get back to that moment So he has into this obvious connection to the planet and his natural abilities stating I think I put together the beauty of mother nature and music And somewhere in that I felt the presence of god Hendricks was another one that was just amazing Hendricks went on to say I believed in myself more than anything And I suppose in a way there's also believing in god If there is a god and he made you then if you believe in yourself, you're also believing in him That doesn't mean that you have to believe in heaven and hell and all that stuff but it does mean that What you are and what you are doing is your religion when I get on up on stage. Well, that's my whole life That's my religion. My music is electric church music If by church you mean religion. I am electric religion. So that's You know, also, you know, this is pretty cool, too He also Hendricks was aware of other forms of intelligent life on the planet He was convinced that in the near future Galacticians from outer space from another galaxy of greater positive power would come to help our planet to help mankind And it's struggle against evil I'll explain this he drew to two points representing this higher power coming closer and closer towards our galaxy the milky way finally reaching earth I mean, you can read more about this in that article. There's a link down below And here's aerosmith's uh league guitar show parry You know, he said that he experienced a uh He had a spiritual moment in seeing a ufo the first time and so did sammy hagar former van halen frontman He's got several stories that are just out of this world and you can find all the links to these These stories too in in the article As well, but you know, he had this um He said when he had he saw the uh, ets He said it was real the rocker said aliens were plugged into me. It was a download situation This was long before computers of any kind of wireless. They weren't even wireless telephones Looking back now.  They downloaded something into me or they uploaded something from my brain like an experiment So sammy sammy gets it, you know Mick jagger has uh claims of seeing a ufo so has john lennon You know for meditation Metallica's league of tars kirk hammett heavily into meditation and yoga David lee roth van halen meditates um, he also does um martial arts as well fall mccartney or paul mccartney whichever one you want to call him been meditating for Decades same with sharyl crow and sting and steve i so You know, we're seeing a lot of spirituality in rock and roll. This was something too That I found really interesting because I wrote an article On the same thing earth smith's league of tars joe perry summed it up brilliantly During his interview with joe rogan. I think my brain is wired different So yeah, a lot of us feel like you know, we're wired differently and i've got i've got um several What 30? Hey, it's an article 30 signs that you're wired differently. So I'm furthered I'm bringing in rob and sarah And whoever else wants to join in Hi rob What's going on brother? I can't hear you.

So i'm a child of the late 70s Okay Preface everything by saying that Right Got a summer. What are you saying? No, but as a child. Yeah um growing up in the 80s my mother always listened to 70s folk music. So that's pretty much what I grew up listening to freedom rock. Yes Yeah, like yeah, like bread cream Carol king james taylor Exactly. Yep. So I still love that kind of music Like My dad was more into the heavier side maybe the doors and um, yeah Heavier doors. All right Well, that's much better than my parents. My parents were I think the heaviest they got was Uh, maybe glenn cambell Right Oh god, no, no they had simon and garfunkel. That was the heaviest they got Right. Yes Bridge over troubled water. That's my parents song from their wedding I remember one time I was playing When when cheap trick came out with that live album cheap trick live at budakon I was playing ain't that a shame And I didn't realize that was that was a remake of an older song And my mom comes out and she starts singing to it. I'm like, how do you know the lyrics to this? She goes, oh, that's I heard that song when I was a kid like oh So Yeah, it's interesting. But you know what we listen to as kids I I remember watching The monkeys on tv My father used to watch the monkeys on tv I was a child and he would come home from work and he would put that on the television And actually the first concert that I ever went to with my mom and dad was to see The monkeys at the van weasel in sarasota. Oh, wow in the late 90s. Yeah So your first concert was in the late 90s. No, it was the first concert that I went to with my parents. Oh, okay. Yeah Now you would have blown me away because Hendricks opened up for the monkeys one time now if you had said Yeah, first concert I went to was Hendricks opening up for the monkeys Right. I'm not that cool So what about bow what what was his first concert? Bow said he went to see linard skinnered with his older brother when he was only maybe four years old He has an older brother that's 15 years older than he is 11 years older than he is so Inners wow. Yep That would be cool I saw my first concert was 38 special opening up for hui louis in the news Nice Yeah I went with my sister and her boyfriend the guy that taught me how to play The drummer who taught me how to play a bar chord on guitar. So right Yeah, so that that was cool And unfortunately neither are with us anymore. They've passed on and okay Which you know, I'm happy for them both actually at this point, you know good for them Mess them, but yeah, you know it's part of the cycle of life, right? Right forever in your heart Yeah, yeah My first concert in person was the dave matthew's band. Okay, I could see you going to that, right? Definitely. Yeah, what was the best concert you ever went to? The best concert I ever went to oh I saw james brown on his 70th birthday at the house of blues in orlando and that was probably the most Rockin most exciting Energy vibrant concert that I've ever been to Les claypool he's does a pretty good show. He's a bass player He's from the band primus originally, but he plays on his own. Are you familiar with that? No Not really. No, and then I've seen roger waters in concert a few times and he puts on a spectacular show I think the the best concert I ever saw Was when guns and roses first came out and they were opening up for Aerosmith and it was fantastic. It was down in wilkes-bear, pennsylvania And I went with the guys in my band at the time It was fantastic one of the best concerts I've ever seen Also, the monsters of rock was pretty cool in philly That was you know, a bunch of bands metallica van halen kingdom come docking Somebody else I can't remember Right. Yeah I've been to odds best before too. I've seen Ozzy Wow That's one I wouldn't think that's why I threw that out there. I figured you probably wouldn't think that but You're in points with me on that one Wow, so you actually you saw Ozzie then perform I saw Ozzy Osbourne Yeah, the black Sabbath original lineup. Yep I'm trying to think How how would you have dressed for that? Did you dress all rock and roll or did you dress hippie? Doc martins blue jeans belly shirt Florida summertime sweat and buckets parking lot or Orlando Yeah Oh, wow And that's an all day. That's a that's a several day event. Isn't that It was I think a two-day event But I only went to the second day because that was the people that I wanted to see but yeah, that's a two-day event For everyone watching I'll be doing a spirit chance tomorrow night Um, and it's going to be on your favorite spiritual teachers. So join in on that Um, a bit of this and that is asking. Where's Ali? She's here.  Hopefully she's feeling better every day and You know her and I both had oh god.  It took you what three weeks to get over Three weeks to get over it and then I bumped into somebody who was sneezing with the runny nose and two days later I had a sore throat, but I'm feeling much better But it's like my immune system is just fragile from it and I'm slow to recover as it is So I'm just trying to keep my vitamin c is like up at 8,000 milligrams. Oh my gosh Wow Way up, but yeah, I've been taking it like every two hours then just about Wow So but I'm glad to hear you're feeling better, but you said you had a little bit of stomach bug, huh? Yeah, I felt nauseous I had so much chicken And I made it myself. Maybe I undercooked it or something Um, because what what I ended up doing was I made it the first batch in the air fryer and it came out perfect And the second batch I I cooked it in the in the oven and then when I was flipping it over I'm like screw it. I'll the air fryer is open. I'll just cook the rest of it in the air fryer. Maybe it wasn't fully cooked When I did the second half and in the air fryer, but Yeah, I didn't feel well and it went it went into this morning I still feel a little Tiny bit queasy, but I feel much much much better than what I did yesterday So it's almost like sympathy pains from ellie right It's experiencing so But yeah, that are you I think rob's trying to speak but we still can't hear him Can't hear you bra Did you check your settings? Because if you go to your settings and click on audio And then click on mic You'll you'll see a bunch of different Options there just choose the one that Choose one that'll work The first time I came on stream yard. I had a problem with my audio too. It was when we did the conference And I had to unplug my Microphone and go into my settings. That's right There's also somebody named chick pics that looks like maybe they're in the background trying to Enter well, I try yeah, I I brought her in and then she disappeared instantly. Oh, okay. Yeah, so I don't know what happened to her, but Look like rob was prepared to even play his guitar a little bit. I know Okay, so Yeah, if someone if anyone wants to join us here's a link posted in in the chat Alexis is asking is it because you're using earphones with no microphone? Yeah, whatever that thing was you didn't get tested for kovat. Did you I didn't um, I don't do western medicine I do Chinese medicine and I continue to ask the doctors if I should take the test and they are like That we don't treat the way that american doctors would treats not necessary. So I never tested So i'm not a statistic on the little Exactly our swabs, but does it matter whether you had kovat or not? You were sick. That's all it matters. Right Yeah, I'm with you I I didn't people ask me. Did you get tested for kovat? No, it doesn't matter whether I had or not I beat whatever it was I beat Right And I stayed home because I didn't feel good and I wasn't out spreading it to anybody else and I didn't find it necessary to go get a kovat test or For any of those things Yeah, that makes somebody else feel better to know exactly what they have. That's fine Yeah, but in the way that I practice my health care with chinese medicine It's not necessary to have a definitive diagnosis and know the name of the virus that you're dealing with and as a matter of fact Corona virus has been causing upper respiratory colds for thousands of years That is true. Yeah Collective fire saying Maybe we can post our concert picks of outfits on n5d There you go, I don't think I had many pictures I've I used to go to this place called bigamton new york And and and I'd see a lot of concerts there and they allowed you to bring in a camera back then It was like those little instamatic cameras and stuff So they weren't the greatest cameras. So I got pictures, but it's not of me. It's of the band Right We all had great outfits for concerts. That's for sure. We just didn't have a lot of cameras Yeah, yeah One time the guys in my band and I um I was in a band in scranton and uh, we went to philly to see acdc and then Five days later. We went to see acdc again in bigamton new york. So the same. It's the fly on the wall tour So, yeah, we're all big acdc fans. So that was that was fine That was one of my favorite concerts actually too was when it wasn't that one, but Ingve Malmsteen, which a lot of people have no idea who he is In my opinion, he's the best rock and roll guitarist out there, but Well, one of the best But he opened up for acdc one time and I love that because it was my two favorite overall guitars. Ingve for talent and angus for showmanship. So it was fantastic concert Right Yeah Did you often follow a band from town to town? No No No That time, you know, they're scranton philadelphia was only maybe a couple hours away or so or less From scranton and bigamton was only like an hour away. So we're like screw it.  I think the nosebleed for springsteen Was like three hundred and seventy five here in tampa. Yeah, wow Unbelievable. Yeah Yeah, he's he's all woke anyway, so I wouldn't see him at Yes, he is I think that's woke. No Great So what's up rob? Now you now you don't have any video Alexis is saying that she looked like a spice girl from space When I saw super furry Cool Elaine's saying that streamer didn't like her microphone either. I'm not using my microphone at all I'm just using my computer mic That's what I'm on too. Just my computer's microphone. Mm-hmm Oh, that's a cool concert a bit of this isn't that 30th special in night ranger 1984 How old were you in 84? eight Oh my So you miss all the good van halen years of yeah Yeah Wow 84 I turned 24 in october that year, so Yep Do you listen to any new music?  Yes Yeah, it's it Well, even even the art of playing guitar, you know back You know at least for me, you know being being a musician and the guitarists that played in hard rock bands The leads back then were fantastic back in the 80s Fantastic lead guitarists now There's really none. There's one this guy named satchel on steel panther. He's really good fantastic guitarist But outside of that that's it Right just lacking the talent that there used to be Yeah, really cheesy leads they they they can't play intricate any any kind of intricate kind of solo Yeah, it's just Tony says have you been to a drum circle lately greg? I haven't how about you sarah? I haven't no How long has it been since you were at the last your last drum circle? I heard that yeah It's been a long time. Um, I think Maybe 2017 I went to a meditation on the key and then the drum circle was happening, but That's just not really my scene No, I love the beach in the sunset But sometimes it can be a little too much for me at the drum circle Well, you always say, you know get a little sun for you or something like that. When was the last time you went to the beach? Um, I went to south lido two Sundays ago Because you gotta be one of the whitest Floridians I've ever seen You're like Casper white. I am Yeah, you were In the winter when I saw you Yeah I don't go to the beach too much because of that kidney problem I have I have to like not get too hot and so Well, they just had something like a beach warning, you know that Bacteria in the water Yeah, but they they dismissed that warning Oh, did they then it was only a perk like what a week or not even? I guess You know, I since I had that that virus I haven't gone I've been staying home and sleeping basically, you know, I haven't been to the beach in two weeks until the other day when I videotaped the the bunnies right That's it's that's a sign of us being old. You didn't question me saying videotaped No, not at all Video 10 year old would be like what videotape the hell right? What do you mean videotape? Well, I got my record player out and I Yeah But yeah, I was at the beach two weeks ago on South Lido. It was very nice out. There was a thunderstorm coming in I didn't think we were going to be able to stay very long But if Mike turned off on this darn thing Hey, we can hear you But we just crossed the bay and that was it. It was a beautiful day on the beach two weeks ago We've been slammed with a lot of nasty rain showers at in the evening, but I guess we needed anyway, right?  I just done plugged everything and just stuck the headphones into the Into the slot and then just started working All right, so where where do you want to where do you want to join in? What was your first concert? My first concert was in a park I don't remember what my first concert was There's so many of them up around that time back in 68 69 We had concerts all the time How old are you? I'll be 70 at the end of this year. Damn. So your first concert might have been like Mozart or Beethoven or something Hmm I just a couple guys banging sticks on logs That's where I got my beat from Uh What uh, what led you into playing playing guitar getting into playing guitar What was I doing what now what led you into playing guitar? Why did you decide this is what I want to play? Curiosity I used to work a switchboard for this Uh for some people where I used to live back when I was around 11 or something like 12 And he had an old fender and that was back in 65 And I'd worked a switchboard for a while while they went to lunch etc etc and He said I could go ahead and piddled with his get fiddled. So Did you have an amp that went along with it or? Oh, yeah, yeah, man, but he wasn't teaching me anything. I was just piddling. I didn't I didn't know the first thing about it I didn't learn that until junior high So you probably learned the same way I did with root chords, right? Yeah, there's a couple of guys that had wanted to start a little band and there's only three of us at the time And I told him I said I ain't got despite his idea how to do anything and They wrote down the basic chords for me He handed me his old guitar Which Yeah, well, yeah, I think he has steel strings on it at that point in time But it's like you the fret the the strings were almost quarter finished above the fret So that was a lot of work Yeah, I think we've all had guitars like that at some point That are just like Yeah, you gotta press down really hard just to play it But I'll tell you what if you can learn on an acoustic guitar that has strings high off the fret And get halfway decent on that you'll be really good on a good electric Yeah, I go say you get on that electric after practicing with that thing and it's like You know putting the hot knife through butter It's like practicing on a billiard table and then going to a bar table And it seems so much easier You know my snooker as far as snooker goes or just a regular bit I used to go out and play snooker for about two or three hours But I used to go play snooker for about two or three hours before I'd go out partying at night And I hit the bars and it was just like taking and Throwing throwing a ball into the Grand Canyon Couldn't mess no there's no way I would do the same thing. We had these billiard tables at our college I'd go there and play for a couple hours and then we'd go down to the bars on these little, you know six foot tables It's too easy Oh way too easy Of course, I never let anybody know what I was doing either Well, we used to play for drinks a buddy of mine because in only after they usually played doubles So this one guy that was on my pool league team We call them shoes He and I would You know play the college kids because where we were was in a college town in upstate new york But we play the college kids for drinks and we'd end up getting hammered for basically nothing Oh, yeah Last time I actually played The guy got upset over a quarter You know, it's 50 cent table and a dollar bet But he I already played him a couple times before and he had he beat me And I heard him tell his buddy. Oh, I played this guy before I had him off the table in a minute Don't worry about it. You're up next Well, he broke and that was the last shot he got You ran it I ran it off. Mm-hmm Galactic saying that she taught herself how to play the star spangled banner in 2000 Other than that, I know the easy version of dream on. Okay I don't know what that easy version is the regular version is kind of tricky though First one I figured out was beater gun You know, that's it It's been well on that one. God It's tricky though. Yeah dream on What was uh, some of the first songs you learned how to play on guitar? Hey, may yeah Oh Well, the first one I piddled around went and figured out before I got with the guys was peter gun That was it don't don't don't don't don't don't Okay, there's only one one. Oh, yeah, you could do that. You could do that on the e-string. Yeah, that was it Oh, yeah well a lot of it was Beatles uh cretins clear water revival, you know, you've got the Uh smoky robinson different different top positions back in that that time era As a matter of fact now that I've gotten back into it now for the past couple of years Also, I'll be playing something. I said, wait a minute. I know that one and I was playing another learned song And all of a sudden I'm saying, oh, I remember that one and then I just pick on up on it But I've forgotten most of those Do you do you play by ear or a lot of time or read the music? I ain't got totally into the tabs yet because they didn't happen back in there's certain markings that I'm not understanding But it's a lot easier Mostly this way I just make my own stuff up. I just But I do sit here and play along with different different recordings of songs I like back in the day The guy uh bk scheister used to be the drummer in my first two bands caliber and rage so What's going on brian? I just saw an anole running across my window back here. It's a little lizards We're being we're being uh spied on by the reptilians Well, you're familiar with classical gas, right? No The song No Well classical gas was very popular back in And I was learning it when I went in the core And tried to keep up with it just couldn't do it If you have pull up classical gas, you'll love it classical gas Write it down if you want a challenge It's a challenge Yeah, actually, uh, I was I was watching A video on robert johnson earlier today You know and they they say that you know he he he was a blues player back in the early 1900s You know And uh, they said, you know, he was just a mediocre player But he went away for a year and they said that in that year he sold his soul to the devil and when he came back he was writing and performing music that People had never heard that style before he became all of a sudden that's from mediocre to savant basically And people couldn't believe the transformation that he did and You know the legend is that he sold his soul to the devil to become famous And of course he died at the magical age of 27 And you see all these other musicians that had died at the age of 27 and it makes you wonder Did they also sell their souls? Don't sound like too good of a deal if you only gonna be famous for a couple of years then you're gone. I mean No Not at all. Yeah, especially for an eternity in hell No, I'll pass Well, my thing is and I keep I always I tell myself even when I start getting a little bit Why can't I remember these what's wrong? You know trying to get my coordination back I just never not sit there and I say it myself All that knowledge you've got every bit of that knowledge you've got the coordination every bit of it is right here All of it all you've got to do Is find it and unlock it And I be it it's all there. It's all there and and then some and stuff that's been untapped Right, you know, I was thinking about that today, you know, because we're always looking at, you know, okay I got to learn this scale mass scale Why not make my own scale? Why not make something that sounds really cool to me? A lot of other people say hey, what scale is that?  He only recorded like 27 28 songs And wow, it's it's really impressive and you know some of the lyrics that he has in there. He talks about It makes you wonder if he sold it sold it sold to the devil because he talks about You know putting this powder in front of the door To keep away the the dogs from sniffing them out and You know kind of like witchcraft kind of thing I don't know. I don't know. Maybe he did maybe he didn't but man he was talented I you know, what do you like the blues or you don't you just you as a musician I think you can appreciate almost any genre as long as there's actual music being played instead of sampling Yeah, most other people hear my stuff. They just look at me like what did you just say? In other words, I've under it. There's metaphors in there. There's this at me other and like I found a cloud awake this morning Looking for you know Looking for something to feed my mind And they'll look at that and try to they'll sit there on that one those two two lines Trying to figure out what I'm talking about. I like it So it's kind of like um ambiguous almost or it can be interpreted in multi different ways All kinds of interpret you can then people can in at least a lot of room for interpretation Brian saying that jimmy page is a perfect example of really selling your soul. Yeah, he was heavily into the Alistair Crowley Magic I think he ended up buying alice alistair crowley's house. Brian. There's a link in there Join us join us on stream yard Yeah Hi to uh debbie hempley And everyone else who's joined us Alexis lost innocence Yeah, I love I love music. I listen to a lot of different styles. My My parents were big into uh You know large wealth Yeah No, uh classical music That's a good team My my one of my favorite albums that they would play would be entree segovia And john l williams playing bach renditions on guitar and it's so fricking amazing Yeah Bach on guitar by andre segovia and john l williams Some of the most beautiful music you'll ever hear Well, I used to have a whole lot of albums bach trakowski beto and et cetera all on 78s And he used to play them on the 78 wow 78s And if you get hit with one of them things it'll knock you out. They're heavy. My parents had some 78s Yeah, you ever get that Someone'll be asking you about something you might be pilling around or playing something all of a sudden they ask you about the song and You can't remember who People asking about groups and this that and the other and I can't tell them. I says I just listen to music. I don't care who it is No, I usually am pretty good. I'm a fan of the groups. I yeah, I remember that stuff I got a senior, you know beetles and zeppelin and et cetera et cetera et cetera, but bob got even gotten I'm not paying attention them anymore hardly Alexis is saying that the 27 Club we're all wanting to tell the public about the reptilians.  There's always You know some kind of heavily laden satanic messages that they're Pushing out there and it seems that like that's the direction You know what what I covered earlier was a lot of the spirituality in rock and roll, but it seems like It's more towards satanism and luciferianism You know pushing that negative agenda so they can be ultimately the false idols that Will distract and lead the younger generation Into a direction that's really not good for them So you get these automatic warnings I'll hear some songs. I won't hear but a couple of words out of it and it's gone I listened to all these stuff most of the time and most a lot of this newer stuff is like you were saying You start listening to it and it's it's it's junk.  You're right got the reptilian trying to sneak in on us right now Easy he's dropping Yeah Yeah back in the day, you know the stuff that they have now the well Like that death metal.  I don't care for that I like the you know the kind of voice in A hard rock that Is melodic like a singer of Steel Not panther Oh, no, I forgot the name of the band. It's not white lion I don't remember that like there one of their songs was called. I'll never let you go where he hits this amazing High I know Typing it in right now Steelheart that was the name of the band steelheart the lead singer of that band Has got this voice that can hit so many different ranges. Yes. One of the most powerful Voices and it's melodic too. So, you know, you can understand the lyrics, which is a nice thing Versus some singers where you really can't understand anything Yeah, I was piddling with some deep purple yesterday. I think it was I just find those songs that I like back in and I'll sit there and I'll piddled with them There's there's so many questions in my head about lead I got I got the chord thing pretty much down pack But when it comes to lead and putting those things together I just I just get confused Well, that's that's one of the things remember So basic but that was like something that Yeah, you wanted to learn another one was this one School's out, right another one No more. Mr. Nice guy by Alice Cooper There were so many great guitar riffs You know Walk this way You know the guitar riff is just what what gets me as a guitarist when I hear a really cool guitar riff Schools out It's that guitar riff that sells me and I I don't hear anything I I like the melody of the of the lyrics, but I'm not even paying paying attention to what the lyrics are saying as a guitarist I'm just listening to that guitar and that melody and trying to figure Trying to figure out what the chord progression is and where they're going next and then the leads and all this so Do you do that? Do you get deep purple and black Sabbath and a lot of them? I'll start the song and I'll go straight from that point Right to where the lead starts and I'll sit there and I just listen to the lead, right? Yeah. Yeah. So you bypass the lyrics right well Some of those if you're doing a lot a lot of that stuff I wasn't incarcerated for four years that Marine Corps So I you know I was kind of out of it for Took me a while to get back into it You're right. I I found a good good riff going. Yeah, I'll start there and I'll try to figure it out Suzanne Marchella is saying this is a good example of you know, somebody with a great voice that you can hear It has an amazing range Jeff Tate of Queensrack Yeah Totally agree, Suzanne Good example Yeah, so The guitar riff for me is what sells me what and you don't hear that nowadays you don't hear those great guitar riffs anymore And that's probably why I fell out of today's modern music Well, what I can gather it's all power chords. It seems like nowadays It's just a bum bum bum of power chords They just beat down on it and And go with it So that's another thing I'm having to learn what power chords are And I don't really care Yeah, I'm I don't know what power chord I never even heard what power chord was until about a few years ago when I started playing again Like like the g power chord. Let's see if I can get that I can't get that into the screen, but that's that's the g power chord. That's I'm doing and it's really not much Pcdc. You shook me all night long Power chord. Yeah power chord I remember seeing so see back when I had to pick the needle up and move it back again And I want to get here again. I picked me left and move it back again. Yep Well, they didn't have they didn't have all that nerd stuff fancy stuff. We got nowadays That was horrible for the record Oh, wasn't it uh Yep, it's time to get finished learning that you got to put a penny on top of the needle in order to keep it from skipping her I've done that. Yeah When you're in a nickel, it's time to buy a new record. Well, even worse would be eight tracks How do you rewind on an eight track? Articulately especially when it goes in between that, you know, the song goes from one track to the next You're trying to get And you get your pencil in the back of it and you rewind it and then put it back in See you could do that with a cassette, you know, you rewind it and you get to get that point down Pretty quickly, but nowadays it's simple, you know, you can sample whatever you want and loop it You know 100 times if you want to get it Down where you can practice you can slow it down, you know into a quarter speed or whatever Here each note individually being played Yeah, well, that's my one pedal. I got a louver pedal down there He figured out exactly how to use it yet, but Totally fine, I had a boss Um pedal that did looping on it. Oh gosh. So what you do is You you and I would do that to back in black And that would be my my loop it would just play that over and over and then I just play leads to the loop Yeah, I've gotten that far Yep, I know I need a microphone if I'm going to do anything else as far as that goes Mm-hmm, but it helps out putting the lead you get your rhythm So I come up one of these songs. I write I put the rhythm in there and I'll listen to it and I'll try to get Try to get my lead into it because at least I've got something to I've got my rhythm going now. I can see if I can get some lead to it. Mm-hmm Yeah Yeah Well Rob, I think we're gonna wrap it up here for the evening I want to thank you for jumping on here and finally while getting your stuff To the point of where you can come on and hopefully you'll be back tomorrow night We're gonna do a spirit chat tomorrow night on spiritual teachers so Check out Check out classical gas I love it. I've written down So yeah, um before we go I just want everyone's going to remind everyone to check out N5D quantum tie-dye where we have a sale going on Buy three get one free just use the ode love in 5d at the checkout And got some new shirts that I just came out with.

What English course is right for you? What key ideas were emphasized in English 101 plus? The key ideas that was emphasized in 101 plus extra support was that We had a lot of times to do our class works. We had a lot of class activities that we done We had more times in the lab We get what extra day in the lab and we have more interaction with the students and also we rectify Each year's mistakes and we learned from that one. It was a very great experience that I have during the essay The other thing we learned this was my first experience how to write an English essay for American College so we learned like how to Write how to support your claim are you doing how to hook your audience on your first sentence and how to Convince your audience by providing your logic on a personal reasoning as well as providing with the extra support Quotation from the expert are outsourcing. The key thing we learned in this class is It gives your confidence the main element is to have a confidence whether you process in your mind to put on paper to write then from there About summary intro how you do your intro nice way how to summarize somebody's whatever you article you read it Then from there you learn how to get hook or thesis Then that's really help you to focus you on topic Sentence topic sentence from there then you can make your body paragraph Also, it's help you to how to organize and how to do the right thing So the key ideas that emphasize 101 plus was I learned how to develop and put more into my essay instead of like Blank and then yeah, what is different about English 101 plus from other English courses in English 101 plus success support and the classes that I took from my own country was different that we had a lot of Interactions to the students and we are very free to ask questions for clarifications and there was like more time it was allow us to have a more experience and It was like a kind of we didn't feel that we were in a class It was the environment was totally different that you can ask as many questions English is my second language when I started it was too hard for me because the time was too short and they're instructed and didn't have a lot of time to You know correct our mistakes and things so I find it very difficult and hard for me as English as my second line. So a friend of mine who had a similar experience he he had like English 101 plus extra support and he advised me to take that one So I dropped English 101 and took the English 101 plus extra support Which is a 10 credit class and I find it very interesting This is my like best class ever in an American college. So I like it very much 101 plus is a wonderful class because it gives you extra time and again you learn a lot of things The other class they expect you know everything the way they can prepare but this class They know they are responsible to help you that way they give you chance to improve That's why I like this class better than another 101 or 91 class Well, my other English course. I was in the IEP because I have dyslexia My other course she was really slow and didn't like help me move on from my fear and Lisa I told her about this and she told me that just do as best you can what advice would you give to students to be Successful in English 101 plus. Yeah, my advice for the students to be successful and the English 101 plus is that one I would recommend hardly recommend for those students whose English is not their first language and as well as for the American students Well to take this English one one plus extra support. It gives you a lot of time It really helps you to improve your English writing skills like friend of mine who had just Had like placement this in he took like 81 He qualified for English 101, but I told him you need to take this 10 credit class English English 101 plus extra support Oh, yeah, visiting to learning center and also Do a little time and do again and again and sometimes visit a teacher to extra time Help you to improve most is up to you. You have to do hard work.  Don't do what I do because I slack sometimes


things covered today. Welcome. It's the 6th of May, 2021. This is Jenkins documentation office hours reminder that we follow the Jenkins code of conduct. Be nice to each other. So, Dheeraj, I don't have any particular topics that were hot for me. Are there topics that you would like to bring, things that you wanted to discuss? Well, nothing specific from my side. Just a few doubts, like very small doubts about jcask docs. I think it's just a one question, basically. Great. Well, let's put that on the list just a minute. So, five, six, and topics. Okay. So, jcask documentation question or jcask question. And Kristen, I'm not sure you have any others. So, let's just go ahead right into that topic. So, Dheeraj, what's your question? And let's talk about it. So, last time we discussed that there are already some contribution guidelines present for maintainers as well as for the new users for jcask, right? And you also redacted me to data breed me as well. And all of the instructions are very clear and very nice. So, my just simple question is that what qualifies an article to be published at Jenkins.io's website from data breed me. Because I think that sounds more looks more professional if it's on Jenkins website. Yeah. So, are you interested? One of the ways that we take content into Jenkins.io is with documentation submissions that go inside the inside the documentation. So, on www.Jenkins.io. Another is a blog post. So, if you're interested in trying some experiments, exploring a little bit and then writing about your journey doing that exploration, then a blog post would be just fine. If you would, if you say, no, I'd rather write about how to use configuration as code in production. And I want to do, I want to do writing like it was a manual and be able to point people to this. Here's an example of my writing of a professional quality manual. Then you'd probably submit to the Jenkins documentation rather than as a blog. Which, which of those two is more interesting to you? I think blog one sounds more interesting to me. Good. Okay. So, that would be great. Like any type of like, hey, I'm trying it out. I'm experimenting. Here's what I found out. That would be so helpful to a lot of people. Yeah. So, go ahead. So, one thing I noticed is that in previous to previous meeting, Mark, you showed me that how we can extract a UI snippet from the main Jenkins YAML file when you go to view configuration tabs in Jenkins on the site, right? Jcast. So you asked me that you can extract the snippet out of it very easily and just know how we can configure a plugin using Jcast. So this thing was very helpful for me to know how we can use Jcast. Then I noticed that in GitterChat, there was a message from somebody else. She seemed like an experienced guy and he was asking how I can find out that this XYZ plugin can be configured with the Jcast or not. So then Tim suggested the same thing, go to Jenkins UI, configure it and get it. So what, so this suggests that not much people know about this feature that you can actually go there and do that. So I was wondering, as Christina also suggested that you can document anything you are finding out along the way. So this would be a nice thing as well. That would be excellent. And one of the things that you might consider to make your blog even more interesting if you could record a two-minute demonstration of doing exactly that so that people just record your screen so that people see what the clicks you're making because many times they read the words and fail to make the transition to what is the action I must take on the screen. Whereas when they see the video playing and it probably should not be longer than, you know, the shorter is better. So 60 seconds or two minutes is much better. What you do then is you record that video. And for instance, I record mine with Zoom. I just turn on Zoom, a meeting of one and share my screen, record it and then download it. And it lets me use it. It's a very simple screen recorder. It doesn't have to show my face. It's all just shared screen. And then you can embed that video inside. And what we would do is we would host your video on the Jenkins YouTube channel. And what that then gives us is it gives us measurements of how many people have clicked through to watch the video. And so we can now take hints. Oh, good. Did video supporting a blog post help it? Or were no, there weren't that many people who looked at it. So yes, if you're willing to do a blog of, hey, my first time experience using configuration as code and highlight these kinds of things where you say, look, you absolutely can I use this plug in? Yes, I can. Here it is. I configured it in the usual system. Now I open up configuration as code. Here it is. And I paste that into my configuration and I'm set. Exactly. That sounds like something I can do. And it would be really interesting to do as well. Great. Good. Okay. Yeah. So the other for me is that if the video, if the screen recording is interesting to you, it's interesting for me because I'm curious if it helps people or not, if we get more positive hits, if we get many, many accesses of that video, I did that technique with the get plugins documentation and have been amazed at the number of people who click through and watch that video all two minutes of it, right? I mean, it's very brief. So this is how you use this thing. And lots of people seem to like to see a video of what's happening much more than they like to read. Exactly. You showed that with views previously as well. It has lots of lots of views compared to me. Right. Yeah. Okay. Good. So well, that's that's good. So first time experiences with configuration as code. If you're if you're interested, well, I think I linked you, I provided you the link to the repository where I track my configuration as code, right? So if if you want to see some examples, now that thing's evolved over years. So it's it's not a great choice to put in your blog. Your blog should be your experience where you you share with people. Look, I did this and I did this and I changed the description of my Jenkins server and I changed these things to make it valuable to me. Definitely that makes sense. Great. Excellent. All right. Now, Dheeraj, have you been able to have you been able to create a development environment that will allow you to work on the Jenkins.io site yet? Maybe that's something that you might need some assistance with. Sometimes people find that a little bit challenging to be able to build the site locally and see how it looks. As of now, I think I don't I haven't done that yet. I think I need to look for it first. Okay, so yeah, so so I'm going to what I'm going to do is I'm going to put into the notes a link to the the how to get started for that for that site so you know how to do your how to how to get begin a blog post. So here in the contributing file and for your help, it's also posted in the chat here. So the Jenkins.io repository there has a contributing file and we like to think it's easy to use, but we had bumps and bruises for our last contributor that was using it. So don't be shy at saying gee, I don't know what it takes to make this work. Are you now are you Windows based or Linux based or macOS? Linux. Okay, good. So you have chosen wisely. Good choice. Yes. In this case, because it's the the environment is known to work quite well on Linux. So so I do my development on Linux. I think Kristen when she does doc development probably does hers on Linux. I know Meg McRoberts does hers on Linux. So yes, we've got some Windows based people but Linux is we know works. Great. All right. Any any other questions that you have? Excellent. Thank you. And thank you for being awake at this late hour of your night. I assume it is the middle darkest darkest part of your night. So thanks for being here. Very much appreciated. Thank you so much. It's totally fine. Excellent. I don't have any other topics. Kristen, did you have any other topics that you wanted to bring? No, do we need to talk about is there anything for a contributor summit? Excuse me. I don't know if we have anything for I just like just onto that. I don't know if we're ready to talk about that or if there's anything that we need specifically for docs. That's a very good one. Let me let me put up a shared screen and let's talk about what's there currently and then we can refine it. Absolutely. So okay. So what I'm going to do is bring up here are the notes from today and then we need to look at the contributor summit which the way I find the notes for it is I go to Jenkins.io, look at the blog on contributor summit. Now where is where oh no no no no no sorry it's community over how where is just a minute contributor summit at CDCon. Okay. So contributor as always right there it is contributor summit. Okay. This one and here down at the bottom is the coordination Google doc and what I had put into this doc was for Jenkins documentation the topics we would be discussing Jenkins and Kubernetes as of the documentation for Jenkins and Kubernetes as a funded outreach project likely to start September of 2021. We don't have final approval yet but it feels like it's a reasonable thing to do and we've actually got good work already started from oh dear from Sudhakar who's who started an outline and has already started plans for how to write on it. So so that was my thought was one the other was contributor onboarding and now Dirage will be a good test for us how what's the experience for a new contributor onboarding on Linux and we'll we'll learn from that we know Windows had several difficulties for for Xenob during Google season of docs 2020 then I had content improvements including the wiki migration project are there other things you think we should put on to the list for for a documentation track no but it's good to see this for right now um I it'd be also interesting to hear if there's any teacher proposals I'm not sure really definitely the contributor onboarding improvements I almost feel like we're missing some of the stuff around the getting started with Jenkins development I feel like from contributor thought maybe like that was something that we need I don't know that falls under the wiki migration project maybe well or well it probably does actually I think about this like a weight probably but but if I took if I took it under contributor onboarding contributor onboarding certainly a hot topic right now and maybe what we should say using what we learned from Sheikot Africa yeah to improve the experience yeah cool that that's perfect and really this is this is not just because they weren't actually doing per say documentation development they happen to be writing documentation but they were inside code doing it and so it was really developer experience for programmers and writers right right this isn't just this isn't this isn't a thing about just documentation improvements we learned some things there that oh hey it's better if we do it this way for someone who's not not got Java experience or who has not never done Maven before good okay very good cool I'm glad to see that this is what we've got for a we've got a lot for contribute for contributor summit this is exciting yeah so let's see and and and we've got the Sheikot Africa retrospective tomorrow to gather and sort of refine that into into a better set of actions good okay great now one of the things that that we had on let's see I submitted the roadmap pull request proposing maybe let's take a look at that for just a minute if you're okay with that where I submitted a pull request to update the roadmap based on our February work so in February we had these slides that we presented continue the 2020 roadmap plug-in docs wiki docs and terminology increase the outreach so we said we'd mentor Sheikot Africa we did that the google season of docs we got rejected so that won't work and then we said improve onboarding so those are those are I think still aligned then this one wiki migration is probably a bigger thing than that is described in this contributor summit because there's a lot to do for us to before we can actually migrate off wiki yeah so that that maybe what we should put there is timing leader etc and then there was yeah so does does that seem reasonable to you Kristen yeah okay all right great and and Oleg is currently watching over and shepherding this this document so hopefully he'll approve those proposed changes as we get closer to contribute on or as we get closer to the contributor summit excellent link to this very good all right anything else great thank you I'll I'll we'll end the meeting I will post the recording of the meeting in probably 20 or 30 minutes thanks very much everyone thank you thank you so much bye


Hello, and welcome to Senior Moment. My name is David Refson. I am your host for the show. Senior Moment is about seniors and four seniors. I am very pleased to have as my guest today Professor John Bracey, who works in the Department of African American Studies at the University of Massachusetts. He has also been involved in the Civil Rights Movement during the 60s and beyond. So Professor Bracey, welcome to the show. Glad to be here. Glad to be here. Before we go in any further, tell me about the wonderful outfit that you're wearing. Oh, I do my shopping at the conventions I go to. So I got this last year at the Association for the Study of African American Life and History, and it's a combination I think of a Shantae and an Algerian form. So I really don't pay attention. I buy them for the aesthetics and that for the symbolic. It's very handsome. If it looks good enough, I'm happy. I understand. So tell me a little bit about yourself, about kind of the early years you're growing up. Tell me a little bit about where it was and what was going on in your family. Okay. Yeah, I was very fortunate to grow up in a family that consisted of the two major kind of development trends in the African American community after the emancipation. My father's family were railway workers. My grandfather was a mechanic on the Atlantic coastline. My father was a dining car waiter. Railway workers were some of the highest paid people in the black community. So that's a kind of economic base on the working class, solid black working class that enabled my family or my father's side to go to college. My mother's side of the family is one of those typical kind of southern plantation families where my great grandmother was the mistress of a Dabney who owned the largest plantations in the Mississippi Delta. And he acknowledged his offspring and therefore my grandparents and great aunts and uncles got to go to school. So from the late 19th century on, my mother and her and all of my great uncles and aunts all went to college. And so I come around my mother's side on the family of educators. They went to school and they went back to teaching. So I have like four generations of teachers in my family, including a couple of college presidents. And so you have the economic base on one side and then you have the education on the other side. So I grew up in what people consider to be a kind of black bourgeois family. My mother's from Mississippi. I was born in Chicago. Half of Mississippi lives in Chicago anyway. And so my sister was born in Arkansas where my grandfather lived. He had to leave Mississippi because he didn't get the rights that his wife had. The women got to move around without Jim Crow, but the men didn't. So if you married into the Dabney family, it didn't mean a thing. But if you were a boomer, if you were my great aunts and so forth, they didn't suffer Jim Crow at all. They could go anywhere they wanted. But the men they married couldn't. So in fact, my grandfather, William Harris, moved over right across from, not just up north, right below Memphis. He moved over into Helena, Arkansas. My sister was born in Helena, Arkansas in 1948. My mother moved to Chicago. And I was born in Chicago in 1941. Were your folks involved in politics during those times? You know, I didn't know that until later. How would I know? When I stayed in World War II in my grandfather's house in Sanford, Florida, you know, the Sanford of Trayvon. There was a constant coming and going of people. But I didn't learn too much later when I was a grown-up scholar that my grandfather was active in the NAACP in Florida. And there's some of the people coming into the house were people like Harry Tumor who got blown up with dynamite by the Klan. And yet my grandfather was active in negotiating Jackie Robinson playing the first integrated game because the Montreal Royals were based in, you know, Dodgers' Farm Team, Triple-A Farm Team, were based in Sanford. And the first integrated game I ever went to was the first integrated game in baseball. You know, Jackie Robinson playing for the Montreal Royals. Right there, I forget that, I was five years old.  I'll tell you, I've seen a lot of information about the Negro Leagues. They had some of the greatest baseball players. That was baseball. I didn't think white people could play baseball. I was very surprised that they thought that white people were better than them. And Jackie Robinson was not an outstanding Negro League player. He was okay, but he wasn't like the best. And when he went to the major leagues and became rookie of the year, I said like, Jackie Robinson can make it like everybody ought to go, right? On the other hand, it destroyed the Negro Leagues. Which was really unfortunate because they had a real big following in the 40s and 50s. Yeah, yeah. No, I went to games with my father at Comiskey Park, you know, Double Headed, the stands were packed. They'd have a band between the games. So they'd put a platform out in the infield and they'd be like Count Basie or some combo. And people would have a little dance between the first game and the second game. You know, Negro League Double Headed lasted like eight hours. It was like an all day event, yeah. It's fantastic to say the least. Yeah, wonderful, wonderful play. It's Kansas City Monarchs. I saw satchel page pitched with the Monarchs and then later with Cleveland Indians when I was living in Chicago with my mother. He was quite something, Mr. Pages. Amazing decision. I know. And it's amazing to me that before Jackie Robinson came in that the world did not recognize the incredible players that were in the Negro League. And only because of him, once he opened the door up, the door started to be open. Well actually, the players knew. The white players knew about the Negro League. Because they had, during the all season, they played in Latin America. You had a Mexican League and then you had the Dominican Trujillo to dictate a setup of the League of the Dominican Republic in order to make himself look good. So he paid these huge salaries to Negro League players to come down and play in the Dominican Republic in the late 30s, early 40s. And so if you ask white players, the honest ones, they would say, we got to get these guys up here. Like, this is Dean said that about satchel page. He said if you signed him, we'd win the penalty by July and go fishing until the World Series. He's the greatest pressure I ever saw. Ted Williams advocated for Negro League players to come into the Hall of Fame. And he said, yeah, you know, Ted Williams was Mexican. They ducked his middle name. But he advocated, he said, no, no, these are the best guys. He said, you should get them in. I don't care if they didn't make it to the major leagues, it wasn't their fault. Well it proved to be true, because once the door got open. They came right in.  Yeah, full brass. I mean, it really was. And Willie Mays was my idol. Yeah, yeah, yeah, so was he. He was like, he was pretty amazing.  I mean, there's so many. I saw all of them. They all came up because the Dodgers played exhibitions for the Senators in Washington, D.C. So Roy Campagnolo, Don Newcomb, all of them. Let me ask you this. You had mentioned that you, as you got older, you were involved in the Civil Rights Movement yourself. Can you talk a little bit about that? In my pre, you know, kind of growing up, my family tended to walk into places anyway. Before they had a movement, we would just walk into a store or sit down somewhere. If it was segregated, just to do that. I mean, never occurred to me. There's a big thing about that. They weren't part of a movement or such. Just the way we acted about the world in which we lived. You didn't accept segregation.  But the daily life things you would challenge when you had an opportunity to do that. So I grew up with that kind of mentality. And I grew up on the campus of Howard University at the same time that the law school was developing the Brown case. And my junior high school history teacher, Ann Ruth Houston, was the cousin of Charles Houston, who outlined the strategy to attack Plessy versus Ferguson. So you're surrounded by people who are engaged in knocking down Jim Crow.  So I grew up in a world of motion and service. It didn't matter how much money you had. What are you going to do? What are you going to do for your people? You got a million dollars. Give half of it back. You don't need a million dollars. You have some people that don't have anything. If you have a brain, what are you going to do with it? Make money with it or help people with it. And so I grew up in a family where the primary obligation and the people you looked at as the most important were young people, children, all the way up. You know, my mother taught at elementary school, all the way up through, she directed a student teaching at Howard University.  Before they were famous, they had to have a job. They took student teaching just in case, you know.  You took your passion for education and passed it on. My mother taught at school, she was 13 years old. Wow. Yeah. The minute you learned something, you taught it to the people below you.  You get to seventh grade and you teach to kindergarten. Now, these were in segregated schools at the time, of course. Yeah. Brown versus Board of Education came up in 1954, came up in the Supreme Court. And for those who don't know and had ruled that separate but equals unconstitutional at the time, I think what's really, really unfortunate, it took many, many, many years, even though the decision had been made in 1954, for schools particularly in the South to allow that to happen. But it's a mixed, it's a mixed bag. I was in Washington, D.C. And the greatest high school in Washington, D.C., was done by high school, or black high school, had been a school training, a talented tenant for almost 100 years. My sister went to Dunbar High School and she finished 25th in her class and got a four-year scholarship to Oberlin. Wow. And we were, like, very depressed because we hadn't heard of Oberlin. We thought she should have gone to, like, Smith or someplace like that. And so we kind of, like, well, Oberlin was okay. She went to college and she was 15 years old. Wow. Yeah. My mother went to college and she was 15 years old. You don't need white people to make you smart. No, you didn't. So you didn't, the issue was not our inferiority at all. The issue, I had never in my, for a second in my life believed that. What the issue was that there were people that thought you were inferior and had things that were rightfully yours and you should go get them. Right. But in the meantime, you build up within your community the most powerful, you know, successful, strong organization so you can sustain yourself, like all black schools and all black communities. And so within the Jim Crow world, we did tons of stuff. We went to every concert. We went to, you know, we went to the Constitution Hall. We went to the Old Vic Theater. We did Shakespeare. We did all that. By the time I got to the sixth grade, I had been in every museum in Washington D.C., Folder Shakespeare Library, all that stuff, National Portrait Gallery, all that. Every Smithsonian you could get into, we went to. We were not locked in a cage somewhere, you know. And that's what was lost with integration. I had to go to Integrated High School in 1956, Roosevelt High School. I went to Roosevelt College. But Roosevelt High School was 20% black when I came in in the 10th grade. It was 80% black when I left. It was a little flat out of there. And it wasn't because we were inferior. When they did school-wide tests, we were better than the white kids. That's why they stopped giving the tests. We were number one. I was number one in my high school in physics. I don't even like physics. I like to take the tests because our teachers on the Jim Crow prepared us for biased tests. It never occurred to us that the tests would be fair. So that, that wasn't even an issue. Of course the tests were not fair. White people made it. Why would they make it fair for us? So you just learned it. You know, you stopped in the middle of the spring. You said, OK, got to take these tests in two weeks. And we stopped. And we do a test prep. And you go back to the real curriculum later. The curriculum wasn't a test.  You know, they're talking about Robert Frost. We go back to Langston Hughes at Paul and I's Dunbar. You know, we do Robert Frost. That's on the test. But what we loved was Paul and I's Dunbar.  Woke to a brush. The sprite was gone. Then saw the brush and called it down. That's Paul and I's Dunbar. I had to learn that in the second grade. Still got to do it. I can say I'm glad you did. Yeah, yeah. Now that's, that was not a world of backwardness. It was a world where we had inadequate resources. Right. But you had, that meant that you had in your classroom at Bannocker Junior High School, people with master's degrees in science, teaching mathematics and science. People with doctorates who couldn't get a job at an institution who were teaching high school and junior high school. So, you know, we didn't have all we had and we didn't have anywhere near what we were entitled to. But we were not sitting around just feeling sorry for ourselves. We were building and preparing to take on that larger world. And that's the world I came out of. What happened in the sixties? Obviously there was a heavy civil rights movement going on in the sixties. No question about it. Certainly with Dr. King and others there was a lot of differences between him and Malcolm X and a bunch of other folks. What was your kind of involvement in that during that time?  Right? What you cared about was where's the action. Right? And people don't quite understand it, but there's no better feeling than being able to get up and participate in something that you know is right. You know, that right is on your side to take on an oppression and win. Right? And to do it with people like yourself. You know? And to do it with a sense of courage and enthusiasm that's similar to being on a ball team or being a great performer and a player, whatever. And you did that because you wanted to get that out of the way. It never occurred to us it would take, you know, 50 years to get integration. We thought you could do that in a couple of years and we could go back and play, you know, go back, play cards, hang out, whatever. The only reason you had to have a civil rights movement is that after the Brown case, just a nine-oh-case, nobody opposed, you know, the Brown case. We thought that meant therefore we could go anywhere we wanted because we had won. Sure. It didn't happen. 1955 you had, well, they can take all the deliberate speed. That meant that they didn't really mean it. So it means, okay, we got to do this the hard way. That's the civil rights movement. Okay. We won all paper. Right. You say now you got to do it. And you say, oh, okay. So we had a slogan, free by 63. So we figured 10 years, 1954, 1963, probably wrapped up. 1963, not wrapped up. No. Not wrapped up. And so you realize it's going to be a long, long time. And that's when the older people come and talk to you. They say, I know you got a lot of energy, but we were fighting this thing a long time ago and you're not going to win it in five years. You may not win it in 10 years. But the fight is what's important. You know, you do what you can do in your time. And that's the attitude I adopted by the time I was like 20 years old. It's like, okay, my summers are gone. My spare time is gone. You know, they had it on the beach. Can't do that as much as I'd like to. I didn't go to a Final Four basketball game because of a demonstration. You know, God had tickets. You know, you come down to Atlanta and see, I love basketball. I said, no, man, we got this rally. You know, and I didn't even thought about it. I didn't even blink an eye. You know, if none have occurred to me to stop and go to a basketball game, whatever basketball, anybody's basketball, if there was movement activity going on. And so for the, I went to Howard for a year after graduating from Roosevelt High School.   You know, so whatever you did was okay. I don't know whether I knew anything or not because they wouldn't give me a fair evaluation. So I had to go somewhere. And that's when I got, but before that, I hated the kind of strictness of middle-class life before the movement developed. To grow up in a very tight middle-class environment required a lot of social behavior. I didn't care about parties and, you know, wearing ties and, you know, kind of being kind of stuffy. I didn't like that. It just was not my personality. And so I didn't like a lot of the stuff in Howard, you know, fraternity life, all that business. You know, so I kind of dropped out for a year. That's when I went to work as a mail clerk at the Pentagon. And as I mentioned earlier in that previous conversation, my favorite moment when I was working out at the Arlington Hall Station, the Singlet Engineering Agency, was I had top-secret clearance. I mean, I could never get it today, because Donald Trump got it for me. But I carried my most important task during the fall was to get the World Series bets down for the Joint Chiefs of Staff. And I actually interrupted a meeting of the Joint Chiefs of Staff to get Admiral Limnitzer, who's the head of Joint Chiefs, to get down his bet before the ball game began. You had to put your money down before the game started. So I'm running around like 12 o'clock and the game started at 1, and they're meeting. And there's literally a meeting at Big Room Joint Chiefs of Staff. And I have to talk my way in because the secretary is looking at me, like I'm a young black guy, and I'm saying I have to talk to Admiral Limnitzer. I got to talk to her. It's really important. She's like, who are you? Just tell them John Brace is out here. So I get invited into the meeting and the joint. She's got huge football-long table with all the maps and all this stuff. And they stop. And I walk up like it's really important. And under my top-secret folder is the World Series pool, right? And then who you got? I said, I like your Dodgers. You know, I'm cool. You know, I said, OK, Dodgers. And he slides this $50 bill up under there. And I give him a nice little ready-to-go, ready to go and walk on out. And people thought this is the most important thing in the world happening in its World Series pool. That's the Pentagon. A whole lot of just that and the other underneath is not a lot going on. And then I went to Roosevelt. That's when I got in the Civil Rights Act. In Roosevelt College or University? In Chicago, yeah, yeah, yeah. It was a great school. The school that was started, I'm only 15 years old when I got there. It started because of discrimination in the Central YMCA College. They had a quota on blacks and Jews. So the faculty walked out and formed Roosevelt University. And so we had a reverse kind of situation. 30% black, 30% Jewish. And he would sit and those other people. So it was a activist school. The demonstrations against everything. In the cafeteria, a table like this, this might be the Yipso table. You got Bernie Sanders, he was around there too. He's in Chicago. Then you had the Communist Party kids, Young Communist League over here. Then you had the Socialist Workers Party. Then we had our black history table, the Negro History Club. They called us the black bit of Bolsheviks. And we wouldn't let you sit at the table unless you had good politics. Look how smart you were. You could sit around the table, but not at the table. And we argued and debate and read all the time. Nobody told us what to read. We read what we wanted to read. So somebody said, oh, you got to read this book. We'd all go get it. Whether it's in the class or not. Well, if you were taking the class that had better books in our class, we'd go sit in on your class. And you could do that at Roosevelt. You just wander around the hallway and say, what's happening? Oh, they got a great guest speaker, let's go. And so you literally walk out of the hallway into a lecture hall and sit in there back in here, guest speaker from another class. Nobody stops you. It's a wonderful education. The faculty got locked up. A good chunk of the faculty were hired because they got fired somewhere else. Chuck Hamilton got fired at Tuskegee. Charles Hamilton did. Black Power was stoked to come back there. He got fired from Tuskegee, taught at Roosevelt, George Iggis, a great European historian, got fired at Philander Smith, China-organized black cafeteria workers in Arkansas now. Why you wouldn't do that? I do not know. And they gave him 24 hours to go. So where's yet Roosevelt? Christopher Lass, Jesse Davis, start and land all taught at Roosevelt. And they couldn't get a job anywhere else. I want to talk before we're going to, I guess we could talk about these topics probably until next week. So all of a sudden you came to UMass. Now you've been a professor of African-American studies for a very long time. Yeah, yeah, yeah. And can you talk a little bit about that? It wasn't a plan. People keep asking about my career. I don't have a career. I had a job 45 years. When I went to school, there wasn't any such thing as black studies. It didn't exist. There were people who wanted to study black people, but there were very few classes except for historically black institutions. I don't think there were five courses on black people in white schools in the whole country. But I was going to do that anyway. In Roosevelt I studied with Sinclair Drake, Lorenzo Dow, Turner, the founder of African-American Linguistics, Brilliant Man. Sinclair Drake who did black metropolis, and again the leading black sociologist, living black sociologist at that point. And so I was studying black people all along anyway. And growing up on Howard's campus, I'm surrounded by people who wrote books, so they gave me their books. I got all this stuff anyway.  We get locked up trying to integrate schools. We shut down the expressway. We pick up construction sites, organized street gangs and all. So when I finished up Roosevelt, you had to leave finally. They finally kind of pushed me out. You have to graduate. So I found, I didn't have a major. I just took classes. I was just, you know, ducking to Vietnam War. So I just kept taking classes and said, you have to, you have to graduate. And I said, like, okay, but what do I do? And they said, well, pick something. So they literally grabbed me out of the hall and said, take one of these, your history major. Take two of these, your sociology. Take three of these, your geography. I enjoyed going to school and I enjoyed the movement activity that came out of the school. I get to Northwestern. And I'm getting paid to read books on African history. I'm really cool. This is really nice. I get a fellowship. I'm sitting around. I'm enjoying life. Black students in Northwestern turned the place upside down. And they come and get me to help them because in 1963, I had led a charge to run Mayor Daley off the platform in Grand Park. So I'd been on the front page of every newspaper in Chicago. So people knew me, but I didn't think about myself as somebody that people knew. And so I think I'm anonymously reading books in the library. And all these kids say, that's the guy that led the demonstration. He can help us. And the next thing I know, I'm helping lead a takeover at Northwestern. And we had the fifth anniversary last year of a takeover that they celebrated. 100 kids took over the building.  It's at this point after the King riots, when large numbers of black kids are coming into predominantly white institutions, that black studies appears. Nobody thinks this is going to last. No school wanted it. Black kids came in not as integrating the place, but as making the place like them. So they weren't happy being at Northwestern. They said, how come Northwestern is all messed up? Not, I'm glad to be here, but the food in their cafeteria sucks, you know? And how come they don't talk about black people in any of the classes? So that's where the demand came from. Well, I'm already doing this. I know how to do this. I've been reading this stuff. I had a Negro History Club with Sterling Stuckey called the Armistad Society, which is based in the community.  And so students are demanding that the history and culture of black people be taught at colleges. And so I'm a grad student. I'm getting job offers once a week. You know, somebody's taking over a building. Can you come out here and teach a class? I said, no. You know, like, I might go for the interview just to see what it looks like. But I finally took a job in Northeastern Illinois State that Teddy Wilson, who was a war chief for the vice laws, was at the job interview. And I got the job because Ted said he knew me in the interview. He said, well, you hire. I taught at Northern Illinois University because they had the most amazingly talented radical faculty anywhere in the country. There were a whole bunch of guys that came out of the left and they head out in Northern Illinois Normal College in the 1950s during the McCarthy period out in the middle of a cornfield when the thing grew into a university. And so I walk out there and get my really radical speech because I didn't want to work out in the cornfields and they start a party.  And I said, who are these people? He said, we just wanted for some Americans. Like, there's a left thing. So that's, so we got black history there and black studies there. Then I got invited to University of Rochester with the, it was going to be a black and white left coalition there by Eugene Genevase and Herbert Guthrie. But they fought all the time. I didn't like that. Then I got a call from Mike Delwaugh. Mike I knew from Howard, when I was a freshman. Mike later was very active in SNCC and then he came up to Massachusetts, you know, with Julius Chubeski and Sid Kaplan because he was trying to get thrown out of the country because he was making immigrant. He had to be in school. So they get a student visa. He got to be a student. So he ended up at UMass. Students demanded black studies here and they moved from the English department over to the New Africa House after the takeover in 1969. And Mike says, come help me. We started at the department. And so I came in in 1972. I've been here ever since. We unfortunately have to stop here and it may be pertinent to have you back again at some time because we didn't cover a lot of things I wanted to cover. Yeah, yeah. So I want to really thank you, sir, for being on the show. I want to thank Amherst Media for sponsoring the show and hope that you will tune in again for our next episode. Again, thanks to Professor Bracey for being on the show. You were really terrific. Thank you and have a good day.


Hello everybody! In this video I will tell you more about encrypting a disk with BitLocker. Watch the first part in one of my videos. It will show you how to encrypt a computer's system disk or disk C with BitLocker. To use all functions of BitLocker, a computer should have a TPM microchip, trusted platform module. However, computers without TPM can also use BitLocker encryption. TPM is a special chip containing cryptographic keys for protection of data. You can check if your computer has a TPM module by executing the command tpm.msc, entering it in the run field. Press Windows plus R, enter tpm.msc. In the window TPM Management on Local Computer you will see if this computer has a compatible trusted platform module. If it is enabled and ready to use. If the TPM is available, turned on and adjusted, you can continue to set up encryption. If this computer has a TPM module but it was not used or initialized before, which we can learn from the menu TPM Management on Local Computer, you should initialize it in order to turn it on. To do it, open Control Panel, BitLocker Drive Encryption. Turn on BitLocker next to Disk C. In the opening BitLocker Drive Encryption setup window, you can see that to encrypt Drive C, the system needs to do two things. Turn on security devices for TPM and encrypt the drive. Click Next. For the TPM to turn on, you should restart the computer. Click on Shutdown. After that, the computer turns off. Turn it on again and the system will ask you to press F1 to activate TPM or F2 to cancel activation. After pressing F1, Windows will boot and you will see a BitLocker Encryption window showing that the TPM module is enabled. Click Next and go into Standard Encryption setup. After the drive encryption is over, you can log into the system by entering your password account to unlock your system and the encrypted drive. You will not have to enter BitLocker password or a recovery key. It is the main feature of Drive C encryption on a computer with a TPM module. When trying to boot a computer in any other way, with the use of a bootable USB drive, command prompt, Windows recovery environment and so on, you will need to enter a recovery key. All the same, you will need this key when you disconnect this hard disk from your computer and connect it to another PC to copy data. In this way, your system and all data on the system disk are secure against any hacker attack. If the computer doesn't have a TPM module, which we just learned from the TPM management window, you can use the Group Policy Editor to be able to use BitLocker without TPM. So open it and to do it, press Windows plus R and enter gpedit.msc. Open the left side pane. Enter configuration, administrative templates, Windows components, BitLocker drive encryption, operating system drives. In the right-hand part, double-click on Require additional authentication at startup. In the window that opens, select Enabled and ensure that the checkbox Allow BitLocker without a compatible TPM, Requires a password or a startup key on a USB flash drive, is enabled. Apply the changes, OK, and close the editor. The Local Group Policy has been edited. You can go on to set up BitLocker. Open Control Panel, BitLocker Drive Encryption. Select Turn on BitLocker next to Disk Scene, now we check in the computer's configuration. Now choose how to unlock the disk. In this case, let us choose Unlocking with a password and click on Enter a password. Enter it twice and then click Next. Now choose where to save the recovery key. You cannot save it to the encrypted disk. Until the key is saved, you cannot go on with the setup. In our case, save it to a file. Select where you want to save the recovery key. I save it to a USB drive. Let's check if the key is saved in the proper directory. Depending on your needs, you can choose how to encrypt the disk. You can select one of the options. Encrypt use disk space only, faster and best for new PCs and drives. And encrypt entire drive, slower but best for PCs and drives already in use. Next. In the next window, I select New Encryption mode, which is best for fixed drives. Next. For starting the encryption, it is recommended to run a BitLocker system check. It requires a restart, but it is the best way to make sure that TPM, BIOS and USB ports will be used by BitLocker. Next. In the system tray, the BitLocker icon appears. So click on it and on the notification, telling you it is necessary to restart the computer, and then click on Restart now. The PC will restart and ask you for a password to unlock the disk. Enter it. As soon as everything is all right, the system will boot and the encryption process will begin. To see the drive encryption progress, click on BitLocker icon in the system tray. Disk C encryption is over. Close. Now you will have to enter the password every time you need to access Disk C. That is, every time you turn on or restart your computer. The same way as with encrypting disk D or a removable disk, the managed BitLocker menu will be available. To access it, right click on the encrypting. Encrypted disk can select Manage BitLocker. Next to the encrypted disk C, you will see Available Management Options, Suspend Protection, Backup your Recovery Key, Change Password, Remove Password, Turn Off BitLocker. In case with a computer having a TPM model, you will not see Change Password or Remove Password Options. Search the previous video to see how to disable BitLocker and how to encrypt a non-system or removable disk. Find the link in the description. Now you will have to enter the password you have set in order to login and unlock the disk. If the password is lost or entered incorrectly several times, you will need the Recovery Key to unlock the disk. When trying to boot a computer in any other way, you will also need the Recovery Key. You will also need Disk C when you disconnect this hard disk from your computer and connect it to another PC to copy data. This way, your system and all data on the system discusses a cure against any hacker attack. In the same way, as in a computer having a TPM model. That is all for now.

Gastric cancer is a major public health concern worldwide, particularly among men over age 60. It is the fifth most common type of cancer and the third leading cause of cancer-related deaths. The incidence and mortality rates vary significantly depending on geographic location and the presence of helicobacter pylori, H. pylori, bacterial infection. Recent advances in treatment and prevention strategies have helped reduce the number of cases, but there is still much work to be done. Genetic testing is helping to identify individuals at higher risk for developing this form of cancer, allowing for early detection and improved outcomes. Additionally, lifestyle changes such as quitting smoking, eating a healthy diet, and exercising regularly can all help reduce the risk of developing gastric cancer.

Hello everybody hooded Cobra Commander 788 here and this is a quick look at one of the most famous GI Joe action figures ever This is the Cobra Ninja from 1984 Storm Shadow Even though I have done a full review on this figure that was a very old video So this is probably one that will get a new review in the future This is the first designated Ninja in GI Joe snake eyes later got a ninja backstory But at the time this was released. This was the first figure that was labeled a ninja So if you hate ninjas in GI Joe, well, this is the guy that got it started He has a plethora of accessories. They are all black and they all fit on his backpack He has nunchucks He has two swords a long one And a short one. He has a bow that pegs onto the backpack that is removable This one has a broken string finally. He has the backpack itself Which has some arrows and it will open up to reveal a little bit of detail on the inside the figure itself is in mostly white Plastic, he's wearing a white mask He has a black strap and a black belt and a red Cobra emblem on his chest This is iconic and this is the most remembered look for storm shadow The biggest problem with this figure is yellowing because it's made of white plastic the fire retardant chemicals in the Plastic will break down over time and turn yellow. This one is still pretty good It's not too bad, but it has yellowed a little bit in the years that I've had it This will be a universal problem with this figure There are ways to whiten these figures with retro bright and such But there is some risk to that and often the whitening is not permanent and the yellowing will return Storm shadows file card had some excellent artwork and hinted at his mysterious background His history was thoroughly explored in the GI Joe comic book series We even learned his real name if you like ninjas in GI Joe You probably love storm shadow and if you're a storm shadow fan This is probably the figure you most identify with the character. That was my quick look at storm shadow Truly a fan favorite Please subscribe to the YouTube channel for full GI Joe toy reviews and check out my huge back Catalog of reviews support the channel on patreon so I can continue doing these videos find me on social media On Facebook and Twitter and I have a website hcc788.com. Thank you for watching I'll be back soon with another GI Joe toy review until then remember only GI Joe is GI Joe
