What's good, George Boros back again with another video. So we got to talk about this year's Monday Night Raw after Mania. And it is safe to say that this year's Monday Night Raw after Mania was infinitely better than last year's show, which was a complete debacle. This year's show, the crowd was electric the entire time. They had over 20,000 people in attendance tonight. Crowd was lit for dinner, everything energetic. They definitely showed out tonight and Philly, shout out to y'all for really showing up tonight. And overall, we got some new stories that are progressing. And this was a very good, enjoyable Monday Night Raw after Mania. Very interested to see what they do on SmackDown. But they they started off the show with Triple H. And they're not going to go into everything, but I'm going to go into the major stuff that happened on the show. Started off a show with Triple H, crowd chanting. Thank you. Thank you, Triple H to him.  Thank you, because y'all broke all type of metric records this weekend. And y'all made this one of the best WrestleMania's of all time. Then he brought out Cody Rhodes.  It was such a beautiful moment. Him having a championship. It felt like something new was about to happen. We were in this new era and Triple H was telling him, hey, we're proud of you. Some people in the back, some people production people in the back. They made this for you and they showed a promo package of his his rise and, you know, how far he's come from, you know, the him being, you know, Cody, like him growing up in the WWE system and and being star dust and him having to leave and going on the independent scene to really make his name. Obviously, I don't think they could show any AEW footage. But the fact him leaving, becoming who he is to come back. And then the story had to overcome this weekend. It was a beautiful, beautiful sight to see. He got emotional. It was an emotional, you know, just a promo package just to see that moment. And I was really, really dope.   What, you know, which I want to talk about. And he brought up the fact someone asked him why you keep doing this and what motivation to keep doing this. And he said, you know, if you look up above and on the titan drawn above, it's his daughter saying, finished the story daddy. So that's one of his motivations. It was beautiful. Love it, love it, love it. Just a great moment.  He even show respect to the tribal chief. He said, you know, Roman, you know, had one of the most legendary title reigns of all time, and he did a fantastic job, you know, being the WWE champion. And you got to thank you, Roman Chan, which was pretty awesome, too. And then Cody said, but I will help. I was the one to defeat him. Great. Then the rock music hit. Rock comes out there. And they're chanting Rocky at the start. But after the entrance in all the pageantry, they were booing this nigga like he was Dominic Mysterio. And they were milking it. Anytime he was about to say something, they're booing him out the building. Anytime he's about to even lift the microphone, they're booing him out the building.  Just loving this new era of WWE, you know, they had to mute it out. But definitely the rock had his his moment to say something back. But he came out there to try to give Cody his flowers. The crowd kept booing him.  And he hit, you know, we got a great y'all set an attendant record for trailer, the largest gathering of a trailer trailer part trash.  He was going off on the crowd cursing. It was great. He was smiling while he was doing.   I'm like, I'm loving this era of them allowing them to be a little bit more edgier, and I think we're going to get more of that once they go to Netflix as well. So loving it, but he wanted to give Cody his flowers. He said, I want to come out here, give you your flowers.  You finish your story. So, you know, congratulations. But, you know, he also alluded that he was also going to go away. But he's like, before, you know, I end up leaving or anything like that. You mind if I can hold that he was talking about his championship, Cody's championship, because he's like, I've won a lot of championships, but I've never held that one. And it was getting weird. So I was like, what? Like, Cody, why would you? First of all, why he wants to hold it? Like, what's going on in Cody? Why would you even consider it? So then Cody responds. He had the championship that was given to him by Muhammad Ali's wife. So he was like, well, let me hold that one. So they traded championships. Cody held the one the Rock has that was gifted to him. And the Rock has the WWE championship under speed of championship. And then he puts his around the shoulder and the crowd chanting. This is awkward because it's awkward because this guy's been beating them up for weeks and talking trash.  But before he does that, he says, the Rock says, I like how this feels. So the Rock made a point to mention that.  That that story that y'all had is done. You beat them. But when I come back, I think me and you need to, you know, have our story. I think me and you need to, you know, have our face off whenever I do come back because he made another point to make. You beat him. For the championship. But on night one, I pinned you. And I was like, oh, that's very interesting. That's very interesting that he said that and in this, the way he said that and how he's like, yeah, you beat him, but you never beat me, though. I pinned you on night one.  You are on the board members with TKO. So, you know, at the end of the day, you know, I am the champion, right? I am the top champion. I'm at the top. So that means if you're my boss, then I'm your champion. I'm your head champion. It's very interesting dynamic here.  He gets something out of his pocket. He doesn't show nobody what it is. Cody, you know, goes in, he gives it to Cody in his hand. We still don't know what it is. And he says, Cody, you don't even have to look at what's in in my hand. You already know what it is. You already know what it is. Just next time. Don't break my heart. And then he walks away. And no one knows what's going on. Cody has this peculiar look on his face. And I'm just like, hmm, what the hell is happening here? This was I like this because we don't know. All we can do is speculate. We have no real concrete idea. But the one thing we do have some type of idea or some type of direction is when the rock comes back, he also said, whether you're a champion or not, I forgot to mention this.  If you're the champion or not, it doesn't matter. I want to face you for the title. So it's not even he made it. He made it seem like it's not even really just even if you do have the championship, that's cool. But if you don't have the championship, I still want to face you. It's very interesting. This is it's really mind blowing this whole entire segment is it gives the vibes of whatever rock comes back. Most likely, Cody will still be the champion. I think he wants to face Cody for the championship. Because I just don't see Cody losing it any time soon. So it's very interesting.  It comes off as well, Roman couldn't get the job done, but I pinned you. And if you guys remember, he was the one that asked Roman to tag him in so he could pin the rock. That's the only reason why he tagged in. And then at the night, too, there was a part where they showed the rock looking at Roman as he had the weight belt, but only Paul Heyman was helping them up. He was just kind of looking at him. I'm like, hmm, and then they cut to another angle. So this is very interesting, bro. This is very, very interesting. I'm loving what they're doing right now with this whole situation. We have a lot more questions and answers and I can't wait. I truly can't wait to see whenever the rock does come back. How is that going to play off? Play out because he wants to face Cody. He seems like we may get that one on one. But the bigger question is, why was Roman Reigns going to feel about this? I really want to know how Roman was going to feel. So I don't know, but this should be a great one. Also, before I get out of here, because I don't want to make this video too long, we got to talk about Drew McIntyre and CM Punk. Drew came out there for the fatal four way to see who was going to be the number one contender for the World Heavyweight Championship. And he was pissed. He was walking with a purpose. He got a microphone. He said, I had my moment, you know, taken away from me. I had my moment for like five minutes. Crowd was, you know, you know, laughing at him. He said, you think that's funny? That's five minutes longer than you guys could last in bed.  Like it's just he's rogue. He's super rogue now at this point. But he said, I want to give props to Seth Rollins because you stood on your convictions.   You know, and we had a moment out there, which they did. They had a moment ringside where, you know, Seth Rollins was emotional and it seemed like he was telling them, you know, you deserve it or take care of the title or whatever, but they had a moment. So he gave Seth Rollins props like I respect you, Seth. We may not get along, but I respect what you did on on Sunday. But then he started talking about Damian Freese. He called him because he he's been cashed in on twice by money in a bank winners.  He's like, I got cashed in on by a bondage undertaker. He playing into Damian Priest training for being a bisexual undertaker on Twitter, bro.  And then he even got to see him pump. And he he was like, bro, what's crazy is I told you I was going to win.   And you essentially is the reason why I got cashed in on and lost my championship.  So at this point, it's on site, which you see on punk. I'm not just going to try to injure you.     But when I see you, it's on site. And then that's when Jimmy J comes out there and then everybody else starts making their way to the ring. So we get to the finish of the match. And it's just Jay and Drew in the ring. Drew's setting up for the Claymore kick. And then you see see him pump come out of nowhere, grabs his leg and Drew can't move it. He sees him and then, you know, Drew's distracted. And because of that distraction, Jay Uso ends up getting the upper hand hitting him with the spear and hitting them with the Uso splash from the top rope for the one, two, three and Jay Uso is the number one contender for Damian Priest World Heavyweight Championship. And CM Punk cost him once again. CM Punk gets on commentary and starts doing the dance. And I'm just like just laughing. I'm like, oh, this is about to be good. So now CM Punk has cost him twice. Oh, this is going to be good. I can't wait to see what type of timing Drew was going to be on because he was on some demon time tonight. Oh, it's up. That drew in CM Punk feud. That match when they ever when when CM Punk finally gets 100% healthy. This is going to it's going to be cinema. So comment down below. Let me know what's your thoughts and opinions on the opening segment of Monday Night Raw tonight. Also, did you guys enjoy this episode of Monday Night Raw? And what are you guys looking forward to? Story line wise, what they've been showing us. Me personally, this rock and Cody stuff. I cannot wait, cannot wait to, you know, whenever the rock does come back and they can revisit this because it's very interesting to see how things are going to play out. Also, I definitely want to know what the rock gave to Cody. So we'll see how they play out. But I appreciate all love sport. Road time, 50 K and I'm seeing on speedy. You to rest in champion world. Appreciate our pretty talk. Appreciate y'all kicking in with me. See y'all next one. Peace.


Women from all walks of life stormed the Lagos State House of Assembly in a peaceful protest demanding an immediate passage of all the gender bills. This comes as the world marks the International Women's Day with the theme Gender Equality Today for a Sustainable Tomorrow. The leaders of the protest insist that women have been denied certain positions in the country for a while, calling for an affirmative action on 35% of representation in the House of Assembly and the National Assembly. No, that my name is not Bosse, we manifesto join us. I'm not Bosse, you know they're not sincere. It doesn't matter how much they smile, how wild they are. The purpose of this rally is to let the National Assembly know that the times where women are seeking permission, writing letters after all the lobbying, after all the research, after all the white paper, after all the analysis, yet they still voted no. So now we are no longer asking for permission. We no longer care about your approval. We are taking our power back because it's a power that was bestowed on us. Women's rights is human rights. And if you really care about Nigeria, you would care about the rights of women. You can't have a society where the two genders don't function to the best of their ability. How then do you appreciate and actualize the full potential of your country? You can't. Well, we're campaigning for about 35% or 40%. We have been doing this for many years now. And then we're nowhere we're supposed to be yet. All over the world women are screaming to be heard. You may want to be in charge of certain positions, but we're not allowed to do so.  I just finished a election in a kitty, a governorship election where nine women and end of the day I was the only woman that contested against six men. And they only gave me one vote. I'm not upset about the one vote, but at least I started and I crossed the finished line. So more women needs to come out. We need to come out. We need to keep pushing forward until we get to the destination we want to be. What we are requesting for is that number one affirmative action, at least 35% of representation in the House of Assembling, in the Senate, in the House of Rep, even in the Executive Council, must be given to women. There are so many women in Nigeria who are capable and able to represent the women in trust. She's a woman. There are so many women in Nigeria who can feel in that position, even if only Nigerians or those who are there will look out for them. As part of activities to mark this year's International Women's Day, some women in Edo state have asked for an urgent review of the gender-related bills. These bills were recently rejected by the National Assembly. They described such a move as a dehumanization of Nigerian women and vowed to continue to push until the demand is met. Some people believe women didn't do enough in pushing for the actualization of the 35 affirmative action. In 2019, presidential and national assembly elections to the Senate and House of Representatives out of the 9-round, 12 million eligible voters, the turnout was over 67 percent, which was the highest turnout ever recorded with higher participation of women than men. Women are number one. Women are number one governor, number one president. Number one oba. So they're not supposed to reject women. Women are number one from anywhere, any nation. So, you know, women are used and depressed as that. If you even look at the House, the National Assembly, you will discover that there's no equality. The House is majorly filled up with men. And I believe that most of these men don't even believe in the women. Actually, I must say that the Nigerian women are not ready for political office in this country. I believe as we mark this international woman, this should be a clear on call for all Nigerian women to sit up, just imagine when all this blame, accusation and counteraccusation against the National Assembly that the women were being marginalized, that they were being discriminated, that they were being relegated. To me, it's on call for the day that they are supposed to mobilize themselves to the National Assembly for them to ensure that this 35% affirmative right declaration for women has been approved. That day, the whole wives of the governors, 36 states of Nigeria and some critical women stakeholders, they took a chartered flight to Dubai. Notified about fresh news updates.


The Cavalcade of America, sponsored by DuPont, maker of better things for better living through chemistry, presents Wendy Barrie and Alfred Drake in Dear Funny Face. Before we tell you about this evening's play, here's an unusual illustration of how chemistry is contributing to the war effort. Whole war plants these days are being built of wood instead of steel. The wood is treated with a DuPont chemical CZC, chromated zinc chloride. Wood so treated is fire retardant, keeps out termites and lasts from three to ten times longer than ordinary wood. Tonight we tell the story of an American boy, one of thousands serving in the very newest arm of the United States fighting forces. The CB is officially known as the Navy's construction battalion. At the end of the program, we will have the pleasure of hearing from Captain John R. Perry, Civil Engineer Corps, United States Navy, who is in charge of CB personnel. Cavalcade's play tonight is Dear Funny Face. It was especially written for this performance by Paul Peters and stars Wendy Barrie of the motion pictures as Jean and Alfred Drake, leading man of the Broadway success, Oklahoma, as Larry, on The Cavalcade of America. Dear Mr. Editor, you say you want a long letter from me so that you can tell the readers of your newspaper just what kind of a man Larry Bleak was. There isn't enough paper in the world to tell what a wonderful husband I had. I have, not had. For in spite of the newspaper stories and the telegram from Washington, I still believe that Larry is alive. Yes, I know he is. I feel it as surely as I feel the sun on my head and the wind on my face. If only you knew how close we were, you would believe it too. I was 19 when we first met. He just turned 21. He was on a boat ride up the Mourney River. Look, Chris, if you talk less than concentrated more on your feet... Well, frankly, Jean, I don't know how to walls. Oh, I guess it's no use, beautiful. Oh, say, there's a guy who can walls. Where? Over there by the door. That lonesome-looking Romeo. Come on, I'll introduce you to him. Oh, but Chris, on a wall... Oh, come on. Hi, Larry. Here's somebody just dying to walls with you. Hi, Chris. How do you do, Miss... Sutherland. Jean Sutherland. This is Larry Blinker. Now, make a nice curtsy to the gentleman. I don't see how I can make a curtsy when I'm picked up bodily and dumped in his arms.  Come on, say you like it, you sap. Well, on second thought, maybe I do. Holy smoke, maybe, he says maybe. Well, he's honest anyway. Boy, is he honest. All right, you kids, it's all yours. Shake it. I'll keep it on the sideline. Oh, uh, and beautiful. There's no use trying to get him to marry you. He's in love with a truck named Lizzie. A what? Name Lizzie? A truck. A Mack truck. I call her Lizzie. Oh. Did you get this rhythm in the trucking business? You mean heavy? I mean smooth. Like rolling down a nice long road. You're no slouch yourself. Almost as good as Lizzie, huh? That's no mean compliment, lady. Thanks, I'm flattered. Why don't you want to marry? Why do you want to know? You certainly are honest. Blunt's the word for it. Well, I'll tell you. Down in her heart, that's what every girl thinks when she meets a man. Is this the one I'm going to marry? What's the answer? This time I'd say no. All right, I'll tell you. Right now I own a truck named Lizzie. One truck, but one truck. Someday... Someday I'm going to own 50 trucks, 100 trucks. After that I'll get married. And I can have a house of my own and money to educate my kids. And my wife can be proud of me. That's three things I know about you. You're honest. You're ambitious. And? You can waltz. Maybe a woman could help you. How could you help? Four. You're conceited. A woman. Well, when you're discouraged, she'd cheer you up. When you're in trouble, she'd comfort you. When you're in doubt... I'm not given to doubt. When you've got a swelled head, she'd bring you down to earth.  You certainly make it sound inviting. That's five. What? You've got a redeeming laugh. Where's Chris? What do you want him for? He may be heavier on my toes, but he sure is easy on my pride. You're not so bad at slugging yourself, lady. When am I going to see you again? Do you think Lizzie can stand the competition? I'll tell you what. I'll introduce you to her. She likes you. We'll go for a ride. All three of us? Oh, her night. I'll call for you tomorrow at eight. Don't think I've ever met anybody quite as cocky as you before. Cocky? That's number six. We're getting to know each other bit by bit. Two months later, we were married. At first he was headstrong. Oh, but I loved that man as I never loved anybody in my life. And I was patient. And Larry changed. He remained as sure of himself as before, only more flexible or tender. For a year, we were incredibly happy. About three months after Pearl Harbor. Hey, Jean, look who I brought home to dinner for you. Who is it? I have beautiful... Why, Chris, I haven't seen you since. Don't tell me. Makes me feel old. You're in luck. I got veal cuts at the dinner. Cheese and tomato sauce. Ah, beautiful. You're wonderful. And to think that I had you in my hand and threw you away on a guy in love with a truck named Lizzie. I've got two rivals now. Lizzie and Kitty. Kitty? It's an eight-wheeler with a high-class Pearl. I've got my eye on a third one, too. That's what I want to talk to you about, Chris. Oh. Well, I'm afraid it's too late, Larry. Why, too late? I've enlisted. Oh, Chris. What do you want to enlist for? Oh, don't you read the papers? There's a war on, you know. Soldiers, bing-bing, ratatata. You know, Army or Navy. Here, read this. Build and fight with the Sea Bees. What's the Sea Bees? Sea Bay Construction Battalion. Mechanics, carpenters, electricians, welders, draftsmen, surveyors. These are the type of men the Navy wants. Mechanics? That's you and me, Larry. Hey, wait a minute. You'd be Chief Petty Officer in no time. 126 a month.  What's the matter, beautiful? You know what's the matter, so don't play innocent. What are you afraid of? I'll look, Chris. When the Army wants my husband, they'll draft him. That's what the draft is for. I haven't any romantic ideas about war. I'm not itching to see Larry in a uniform before he has to wear one. So don't go putting ideas in his head. You used to be gamer than that, Jane. Never mind what I used to be. Well, maybe I better shove off. I got lots to do in the next few days. Oh, you can stay for dinner, can't you? Oh, some other time. Well, so long, you love birds. See you in Berlin. Oh, uh, what are you gonna call her? Call who? Truck number three. Well, she's slightly used. I thought I'd call her hand me down. Okay. But don't forget, the next one's Christina after me. Let's eat, shall we? Hm? What'd you say, Jean? Eat, eat. You know, food. Those good cutlets. Yeah. But Chris went and unlisted. Come on, Mister. Sit down before everything gets cold. Okay, Mrs. Okay. Fallon? Yeah, thanks. That was a cute design, wasn't it? What design? On that CB book. The B with a sailor hat and in his feet a monkey wrench, a hammer, and a Tommy gun. Aren't you going to eat? Sure, sure. When are you going, Larry? Wait a minute. Who said I was going? We promised to be honest with one another, remember? We have, haven't we? And this is no time to stop. All right. Here's the way I figure it. This is going to be a long war and a tough one. Sooner or later, they'll get me anyhow. So why not join up now when I can choose the place I fit in? Simple as that, see? Yeah, as I see. How soon, Larry? Well, as long as I'm going, I thought I might as well go with Chris.  No. Get it over with fast. Don't you think that's a good idea? Yes. Honey, you're not going to cry, are you? Don't be silly. No matter where I go or what I do, there's one person I'll always be thinking of. You know that, Jean. Yes. Don't sound very enthusiastic, honey. What do you want me to do? Cheer? Because I'm losing my man? I want you to be proud of me, Jean. That's what's in my mind day and night. I want my wife to be proud of me.   I'm so proud of you, I think. I think I'm going to cry. I saw them off at the railroad station a week later. The two of them. Somehow I never expected much from Larry and the way of letter writing, but once he was stationed at the Navy Construction Training Center, to my surprise he wrote me every day. Not mushy letters. Simple one. But his feelings were there in every line. One night... Hello? Long distance call for Mrs. Larry Bleaker. This is she. Norfolk, Virginia on the wire. Go ahead, Norfolk. Is that you, funny face? Oh, Larry. Larry, are you well, darling? Are they working you hard? Listen, Puss, this is costing me $1.68 to three minutes, so skip my health. It's perfect. I got your letter. Did you? I sure did. Say, what do you mean you're not going to sell the trucks? I'm going to run them, Larry. What do you know about running a trucking business? Well, I can learn, can't I?  I've got to learn, Larry. I just bought hand-me-down. You what? I bought hand-me-down for $3,200. That's $300 less than you were going to pay for it. Well, how's...  What am I forgetting? There's a war on. This country's going to need those trucks, and I'm going to keep them moving. Now, do you want to make something out of it? Larry? Larry, are you still there? Are you mad at me? How's her engine? Oh, honey, she runs like a cat. All motion and no sound. She does, huh? Your three minutes are up, Norfolk. If you wish to continue, you'll have to... All right, all right. Do you want to know something funny face? What? I'm proud of you. Oh, Larry. Norfolk, your time... Yeah, yeah, I'm hanging up. And funny face... I love you. Oh, that makes two of us, Larry. Two of us. It came a time when, for weeks, I had no letters at all. Suddenly, there was one. But that strange post office number in the corner of the envelope made me shiver. Reading it was like hearing Larry's voice at every word. Dear funny face, I can't tell you where we are, but maybe you'll get the idea if I say that not even a movie star would wear a sarong up here. The weather doesn't go much under 15 below, but when that wind starts blowing, it makes Toledo in the wintertime look like Miami Beach. You know, funny face, I thought I knew the whole book on mechanics, but I guess I'm still learning. I'm taking everything apart. I can't find it and putting it together again. Better than before. The joke is, my commander likes it. He says, Well, you see, Blinker, we're the toolkit of the Navy. We have to know all the trade. We move in with the task forces, make airports for the hangars and barracks, run the waterworks, repair engines, construct bridges, assemble generators. Fighting is the easiest thing the CBs do. Some order, what?  Last week, we were working on pontoon ribbons. They're big steel cans, five by five by seven feet, sometimes used for storing oil and gas or for floats when empty. Well, I took a look at those cans and said to the commander, I understand, sir, that if you put about 20 of those pontoons together, Yes. Well, you get an oil lighter or a landing pier. I see, the use and the serve. Yes, sir. Then, if you'd attach a sort of outboard motor unit, You'd have a self-propelling barge. That's what I heard some fellow in the CBs did, sir. How'd you hold those pontoons together? That's easy, sir, angle irons. Angle irons? Where are we going to get angle irons up here? Make them in the forge. But you can't put rivets in those cans. We've got welders in the battalion, sir. Okay, yeah. We could weld them on. That's just what I was thinking, sir. You're pretty clever, Bleecker, aren't you? Yes, sir. And you know it, too? Yes, sir. All right. We'll try it. You'll be supervisor. And you know what, funny face? We did. And it worked. Yours always, Larry. Yes. I've got a new rating. Machinists made first class. $136.80 a month. Maybe you better start looking around for Christina. PPS.  Just wait till I get ahold of you. You are listening to Wendy Barry and Alfred Drake in Dear Funny Face on The Cavalcade of America sponsored by DuPont. After a year of married life, Larry Bleecker has left his young wife Jean and his ambition to own a great fleet of trucks to join the Navy's construction battalion, the CBs. Jean, much to Larry's surprise, has decided to carry on the trucking business. I don't need to tell you, Mr. Editor, how I felt when news came that the Japs were holding Kisco in a tomb. Or months later when our Alaskan forces struck back. For weeks while the headlines told of bitter fighting. I waited. Waited and watched the casualty columns. And then one day there was a letter. Not from Larry. A different handwriting. Familiar, but not Larry's. I ripped it open. It began. Dear beautiful. Then I knew it was from Chris. I know Larry won't write you this, so I am. It's been a lot of tough fighting, but so far your hero is still as cocky as ever and still telling everybody how to do it. The darn thing is usually he's right. Last Sunday we were repairing a bulldozer at the far end of the airport when... Hey, who's getting funny? Maybe Mr. Willowar's throwing nails around. That's no Willowar, that's a Jappy, sniping at us. Must be on top of that rise. I think I saw him that time behind that rock. Got any hand grenades? There's a case of them next to the toolkit. Pick up a couple and follow me. Uh-oh, there goes the air raid warning. Come on, boy, head for cover. Hey, Chris, we've got a man that anti-aircraft gun.  Well, you can run as fast one way as another, can't you? Well, I can't run faster than the bullets. All right, Chef Fathead, you stay there. If a bomb gets you, don't blame me. Well, beautiful, before you could say hero-hito, your fool husband had that gun going like a bad case of hoping cough. And the next thing you know, one of those jet planes folded up his wings and wham! Down she came like a dead duck. For that little job, Larry got a citation. And that night he started figuring how he'll be getting extra pay and maybe you ought to make a down payment on another truck. Number five, he said. Number five I wanted to call redeeming left. And I said, what the devil does that mean? And he just smiled and answered, Jean will know. After Chris's letter, there was a long anxious period of waiting. Then Larry's mother came to live with me. I can't tell you what a comfort it was to have someone who could talk to me about him. But late one night. Yes, mother, I'll get it. Telegram for Mrs. Larry Bleaker. Oh. You've got a sign for it, lady. Here. Thank you. Mother, is it from Larry? No, no, it isn't. Not exactly. Oh. From the Navy Department. Now, please. Is he dead? Missing. Missing in action. That's all it says. That's all it says. Oh, darling, please. Please. He was the only boy I had, Jean. He's not dead. I know it. I can't tell you how, but I'm sure Larry's not dead. Now, you must believe that with me. You must, mother. You must. I'll try, Jean. I'll try. But the letter we received a few days later gave us little to cling to. This handwriting I'd never seen before. Dear Mrs. Bleaker, you do not know me, but I am the commander of Larry's battalion of Seabees. I write you out of respect and affection for your husband. And because I feel that it may be of some comfort for you to know exactly what happened. A big gasoline barge had just come in. One of those pontoon barges, which, as you may know, was Larry's idea. Before we had time to pump out the gas, about 50 zeros came over. We couldn't lose that gas. It was essential to our operations. I needed six men to man the pumps. Your husband, Chris, and four other men volunteered. All right. The rest of you men, back to your battle stations.  Each gallon of gas we can save may make the difference between driving the enemy off this island or retreating with our tail between our legs. I'll see that the anti-aircraft gunners give you all the protection they can. Chief Petty Officer Bleaker, you're in charge. Yes, sir. All right, boys, you heard the orders. Turn those pump engines over. Hey, Larry, you hear what he said? Chief Petty Officer. Well, what's so surprising about that? I saw it coming a year ago. Got too hot for most of them. One by one each, according to his own stamina, they slipped away, but not Larry. Larry, those eggs are coming closer every minute. We better get out of here. Now, wait a minute. Look, look, Chris, if we manned that barge and took her out to sea, we could save her. We'd never make it. They won't hit us if we zigzag. Oh, you're crazy. I'm arguing, will you? Say, do you want to get killed? All right, stay here then. See if I care. I'll make it for sale.  Can't you wait for me a minute? That was the last we saw of them, zigzagging out into the darkening sea with a furious beehive of zeros splashing bombs all around them. That was eight days ago. I've not written you sooner because I hope there might be additional news to send. There isn't. But I want you to know that there isn't one man among the eleven hundred in this battalion who doesn't think of Larry with a steam and pride, with a full recognition of those human and manly virtues which made him a conspicuous symbol of the best soldiery of this country. Respectfully yours, Frederick C. Rickert, Commander, Civil Engineer Corps, United States Navy. That, Mr. Editor, is Larry Bleaker's story. You know, of course, that I am to receive for him the silver star and the purple heart in recognition of his bravery. I know that's why you called me. You must forgive me if I couldn't talk to you on the telephone. It's so much easier to write about Larry. Late at night, when mother's gone to bed, and I'm alone, here in this house where we spent that first year of our married life together, and then it seems to me that I can hear Larry, that he talks to me, that somewhere, far away, unbroken and courageous as ever, Larry still lives. It seems to me that he's trying to tell me something, to tell me. Don't cry, funny face. Just wait for me. I'll come back. I promise you.  Thank you, Wendy Barry and Alfred Drake. A little later in our program, Miss Barry will return to the microphone with Captain John R. Perry of the CBs. In the meantime, we would like to tell you about some of the ways in which new chemical products are serving in the wartime aircraft industry. In a carefully camouflaged plant in the state of Maryland, brilliant with a canary yellow protective paint which covers their aluminum skins until they receive their own camouflage finish, they move forward on the production lines the huge planes of one of America's pioneer aircraft builders, Glenn L. Martin. Glenn Martin himself tossed the first bomb from an army biplane 30 years ago in 1913. And even as early as 1918 in World War I, he was experimenting in his planes with armor plate, 37-millimeter cannon and leak-proof fuel tanks. Today, the Marauders and Mariners and the Baltimore attack bombers, which Martin builds for our British allies, leave the Martin plants in Maryland and the Middle West one after another. The seagoing planes, gigantic craft so tall that they have an upstairs and a downstairs like a house, are trundled from the paint shop directly into the water where they spread their wings like great sea birds and fly away to Europe or Africa. One type of plane, the Mars, now in quantity production, is so tremendous that it can carry cargo or 150 armed men to Europe and back nonstop. To these planes, as to the planes of other manufacturers, chemistry contributes much that helps them to their unprecedented level of performance. Lucite, for instance, provides transparent plastic turrets, nosepieces and portholes with excellent vision for pilots and crews. For their skins, DuPont primer coats and dopes and camouflage finishes to inhibit corrosion, to taunt in fabric where fabric is used, and to provide the surface with resistance to all kinds of weather. Take a single DuPont product, neoprene rubber, rubber that never saw a rubber tree. Martin planes use DuPont neoprene in running light fins, antenna masks, electrical outlet installations, inside nose turrets, cold weather valves in their lubricating systems, recognition lights and window seals in escape hatches and a dozen other parts. Neoprene coated fabrics, which, like neoprene, resist sun and air, grease and oil, go into the pilot's instrument panel and enclosure fuselage, the lower door assembly, the carburetor air intake scoop, the gun sight equipment and the upper rear turret, as well as the fuselage and the power plant. The list of DuPont materials serving in planes made by this one manufacturer is so long that we cannot give it in full. These are wartime uses of some of the peacetime DuPont better things for better living through chemistry. And here is Wendy Barry, co-star with Alfred Drake on this evening's Cavalcade of America to introduce Captain John R. Perry, civil engineer, Corps, United States Navy, who is in charge of CB personnel. Miss Barry. Captain Perry, I've heard it said that CBs are the only people in the world who can really tell it to the Marines. Is that true? Well, Miss Barry, it isn't healthy for anyone to get into a controversy with the United States Marines. I'm glad of this opportunity, however, particularly after the fine dramatization this evening to talk briefly about the CB. The CB organization was born after Pearl Harbor. Unfortunate experiences at Guam and Wake in Cavite demonstrated that while civilian construction men could do the work, they weren't trained or equipped to fight. The Navy decided its construction men had to be fighters as well as builders. Today, there are more CBs than there were men in the entire peacetime Navy. Each of them trained to fight with bannet, rifle, machine gun, hand grenade, or bare fist. They've hewn roads out of the Alaskan rocks, airplane runways out of South Pacific jungles, and built fighting bases on North African sand. They're the can-do men of the armed forces, men who can fix anything from a wristwatch to an airplane carrier, men who can take jungles away from japs and convert them into fighting bases, men whose slogan is, we defend what we build. The Navy needs thousands of skilled construction men for the fighting CBs. The emphasis is on skilled men because we're all in a hurry to get this job done, and there isn't time for the Navy to give fundamental building training to all the men who are needed. If you have some skill in any construction trade, if you're between the ages of 17 and 50, if you're in reasonably good health, and if you live in a non-restricted manpower area, I urge you to visit, write, or telephone to a Navy Recruiting Officer tomorrow. When this war is over and peace again reigns, you'll be proud to say, I was a CB. Next week, Cavalcade brings you a story of high daring and courage in the best tradition of the Navy. But more, it is a warm, human tale of two brothers in love with the same girl. It is entitled Double Play and was adapted from the recent Saturday evening post-story of the same title. In the leading roles of a submarine skipper and the captain of a destroyer, it stars Brian Donlevy and Kent Smith. The orchestra and musical score tonight were under the supervision of Donald Voorhees. This is Clayton Collier sending best wishes from Cavalcade sponsor, the DuPont Company of Wilmington, Delaware. This program came to you from New York. This is the National Broadcasting Company.


This is a special presentation of theCUBE. We're here in London at AWS, one of AWS's locations in London. My name is Dave Vellante, and theCUBE, we like to go out to the events, we extract a signal from the noise, and we've been following the ascendancy of AWS public sector from its early days. If you go back to 2013, there was a significant moment in the history of AWS where it won a CIA contract, a very large contract, the CIA, it was contested by IBM. Was used to kind of what sometimes called the old guard, the legacy companies, used to selling into the government big, big contracts, and here comes this startup, essentially, AWS, taking away government business at the CIA, no less, huge, huge contract. Well, IBM contested it. Judge Wheeler ruled against IBM for AWS, and when reading that ruling, it was clear that the AWS platform was superior to the IBM platform. He laid out the, essentially the components of the RFP and line by line and showed that AWS was the winner and virtually all of the line items, I think there was parity in one. The reason why that was so important was there were several factors there. One, it was a major milestone event, not only for AWS, but for cloud in general. If you think about security, CIA, obviously very security conscious, it was the recognition that cloud actually could be more secure than on-premises infrastructure. So the government was actually one of the first to kind of realize that and lean into that. As a side effect, IBM had to go out and spend $2 billion on soft layer to actually compete in the cloud marketplace. So you had all these ripple effects. Fast forward today to 2019, you have the Jedi contract, a joint enterprise defense initiative. It's a $10 billion contract. AWS is in the lead for that contract. Oracle, again, another old guard company has contested. And when you look through, when a company contests these bids, a whole lot of public information comes out. What the information suggested was that a single cloud, the DOD determined that a single cloud was more secure, less complex and more cost effective. And so Oracle contested the likelihood of an award to a single company because government contracts usually are awarded to multiple vendors. But in this case, because it's so critical to have the data in one place so that they can serve the field better and respond to the field better, the DOD decided to use a single cloud. So Oracle is throwing all kinds of muck into the ring, basically asking the general accountability office to look at it. They did, GAO said, are we going to go with the DOD's decision? The DOD itself did an internal investigation. Now it's narrowed down to two vendors, AWS and Microsoft. And we believe that AWS is the leading contender. Why is that? It's because AWS has the most services, it's the most advance, the highest levels of security and certifications within the government that are necessary to win these types of contracts. Why do I spend so much time on these things? This is two milestone events, the CIA contract in 2013 and what will soon to be the Jedi contract in 2019. And what we're seeing is Amazon web services a $30 billion run rate company growing at 40 plus percent per annum. It's just a massive flywheel effect that we always talk about on theCUBE. So we're here in London because we wanted to see how the public sector activities of Amazon are translating into the European markets. So we're here at a special public sector mini-summit, if you will. There's a healthcare pre-day going on. This is ahead of the AWS London summit. And we're siphoning off a number of the practitioners in startups, software companies, AWS partners in the healthcare industry, as well as AWS executives, particularly focused on the public sector today. So we're doing this sort of, we've followed the career of Teresa Carlson for a number of years, seen the ascendancy of AWS public sector. We've covered a public sector summit in DC. We flew to Bahrain last year. John Furrier, my business partner did the Bahrain summit. Bahrain was the first country in the Middle East to declare cloud first. So a critical location in the Middle East and you're seeing it now, Europe across a number of industries, obviously NHS, the National Health Service is very prominent in the UK and a big consumer of services. All kinds of startups and other software companies trying to sell and help transform the NHS. NHS has put forth a half a billion dollar, nearly a half a billion dollar pound initiative on modernization. A lot of that modernization is evolving the cloud. So theCUBE is here. We're trying to peel back the onion, understand what's going on here. Who are the winners? Who's going to get affected? Practitioners, startups, CEOs, nonprofit organizations, NGOs, executives from AWS and across the industry. So we'll be here. We have three events this week in London. Here today at AWS headquarters in London. Tonight we have an impact investor event and then tomorrow we're at the AWS summit in London at the Excel Center. So keep it right here, watch this channel, check out siliconangle.com for all the news, check out thecube.net which is where we host all these videos and of course wikibon.org for all the research. So thank you for watching and keep it right there. And you're watching theCUBE, this is Dave Vellante. We'll see you next week. Bye.


David Price, member of Team Jordan. What's it like being on that very very select squad? It's it's really cool man just to to get all the cleats and all the turfs and just to have all the boxes show up at the clubhouse you know that's it's a cool feeling and you know probably the best part is all the off off-the-field stuff that you get you know the elite packs every month and a half or months and that's it can it can be a bit overwhelming at times you know my wife is fed up of getting all the boxes and then we take the shoes out and then we have so much trash and so much cardboard to cut down so it's it's been cool I've definitely gotten a ton of it and I love it. You got that Space Jam pack too which is pretty neat if you're a basketball fan baseball fan even just a Michael Jordan or movie fan in general that's an awesome package. Yeah I mean that was uh it was by far the coolest box I've ever received you know with a pair of shoes in it you know with a little screen that shows the preview for it that was uh that was a special. What's the biggest shipment that you think that you have gotten? I mean they're always right around the same size sometimes you'll get not as many shoes and more apparel and sometimes you'll get a lot more shoes and not as much apparel but probably two off seasons ago you know I had they left them at my the garage and it was to the top of the garage and I was I was blown away and I had been with them for a couple years already so I expected a lot of boxes but that was a lot more I felt like they're normal. Alright so the first Jordan cleat that we have for you to take a look at is one of Cece Sabathia's this was from opening day Navy blue with the gray what do you think about those? Man those are smooth man you know these were uh this was the first pair that I got when I was with Jordan you know in 2013 those are smooth you know and in Tampa we had you know really cool colors and they did these really well. The next one we got Delabitances he's all white all black no matter what kind of adds to the intimidation factor when he's on the man closing.  Next Dexter Fowler you go we go so he's got the customization on the bottom there's number 25 these are sharp all red don't really see those too often. Yeah you know these are these are a sharp pair of cleats too as well those colors look really good on Jordan so he definitely designed these the right way and Dexter did well. That's right it's that Chicago Bull Red right? Yeah yeah. Manny Machado so the reason why I picked out this one for you to look at is because there's only five major league baseball teams that have the color orange and their color scheme and this is one of them Baltimore Orioles. Yeah I think he's the only guy you know on the Jordan brand that has you know these colors so that uh they definitely stand out you know you don't see anybody else wearing Jordans you know with this color way so kind of everybody else you know our colors are kind of similar and you know our cleats are going to differ in you know in the colors that we picked out but they're still also going to be somewhat similar in the same aspect. Mookie Betts the Garden 12 for the Celtics that's also very unique because he's doing it for your guys sitting Boston. I think Mookie did that with all his cleats you know he went with these for the Celtics you know he's got his red white and blue ones for home you know kind of for the Patriots and then he has his black and yellow ones for the Bruins he chose to do that I mean I like use a lot because he's got um he's got batting gloves to go with it so whenever he has you know these these shoes on and and those batting gloves on you know that's uh that's a good look. Next we got to come to yours before we get you out of here you got the numbers on the side and again kind of like what you're saying before bat that's your fowler is that Chicago Bull Red but also too fits well with the Red Sox.  Look good feel good look good pitch good right. That's right and then these last two that I gotta point out. Sick absolutely freaking the six strings you know I got these for for Jackie Robinson day but you always look forward to you know getting the Jackie Robinson cleats and I got these 2015 I believe you know for Jackie Robinson day didn't get to pitch on that day but you know whenever I was traded to the Blue Jays I knew this was the cleat that I was gonna wear man you know and I could wear this every day have the 42 on the back to kind of just commemorate Jackie Robinson and everything he he did for the game of baseball I ain't never felt that good yeah that was special and the final cleat we got for you right here was the day that you did get to pitch and these look pretty bad on the map oh yeah oh yeah I remember that day you know those were uh those were special and that was uh that was a good looking cleat you know to go along with the socks those are sharp man you know you don't get to uh to venture out of outside of your team colors very often so whenever you get that memorial day or mother's day or father's day start you get those custom cleats you know it kind of makes you feel like you're in an all-star game you know and that's that's what guys get so excited about on the bus ride over from the hotel to you know the first day you're at the field for the home run derby and stuff like that they all start gang like you're you're pumped to get to your locker to see how much stuff you have from the companies that sponsor you and most importantly to see what kind of cleats you got you know it's um those are special as a baseball player does this situation get any better no I mean just uh when they send us you know like eight pairs of you know the the rubber bottoms you know it's a workout in it's wearing the in the dugout for BP we don't have a whole lot of space in our clubhouse in Boston so I'm sure they're they're starting to think of of things that they're gonna do they're probably have to rent a pod or something to to put Mookie and myself shoes and all of our extra stuff that we have in there but um they definitely send us enough you know and we appreciate it you know it allows us to to sign stuff for guys and give it to them for their foundation or if they have an auction or whatever is going on or you know if guys are you know big Jordan collectors and they you know really like the cleats and they ask for a pair you know it's it's easy for us to to send them a pair because we have so many of them


Lebanon Boranu governor, Professor Bambagana Zulum plans to boost agricultural activities and facilitate a trans-border trade between the state and Chad. It believes community return after insorgency will offer livelihood support and humanitarian assistance. Now Zulum has also approved the construction of a 2,000-student high Islamic college in Bagatell. The mission is to see how we shall support the Nigerian Army. They are previous command. How we shall support the NABL Day Sparger here to clear the waterways, water heights and other grasses that are in the lake. What I shall do now is to see how we shall add more teachers. The essence of building the high Islamic school here is to see and encourage the younger ones here to enroll into school because those that felt not comfortable with Western education we shall first and foremost give them the opportunity to enroll into the Islamic education. From there we shall establish four main courses, four main objectives, which will ensure that there should be digital literacy, digital numeracy and then technical education and education. Hello.

All right, I have successfully emotionally recovered from the last two episodes wasn't easy I'll be honest. It was an uphill battle tissues off-screen. We're back Well, ladies and gentlemen, welcome back to the channel. My name is Jack the Buster. Hi, Shinobi We have episodes 237 238 today for one piece watch through now the last two. Like I said, they were they were rough Emotionally who stopped being delivered the news that they're they're gonna have to get rid of going Mary And he didn't take it lightly in the slightest and I mean it's kind of to be expected So him and him and Luffy had a duel because they're butting heads and there's no solution here But if you saw the last my last episode reaction, it took a toll on me man I cried for the first time since I think chopper's backstory. Oh, no No, I didn't get kind of teared up at no one in Calgharas and one in skype But that didn't really make me cry or that that that rolled me a little bit last episode. We're back I guess we'll see how this is resolved. I don't know it could go a million directions at this point It's don't even know what's happening to Robin You need a channel drop us up and hit that big blood ball and let's get started He says that but I was like a lot of them that doesn't really mean it but that's why it hurts because it feels like he does The tangerine trees, they're gone they took them I think they said to take everything off the ship that the trees are actually gone. Oh my god I Gotta find Robin man Building island wait, what? Wait ship building island like a different island. There's a lot of rumors going on What is Saaji doing where is he oh got a mistress or something? I guess it wouldn't really be a mistress since he doesn't even have a woman. Oh They just hanging out up here They're not even sleeping above. I guess cuz they just left the ship with Usa. That's so sad. We're actually staying at an end man Where's Nami Yeah, man, I feel like that's priority number one right now I mean, there's not much you can do with us up at the moment. It's just emotional. Maybe we'll get some answers That's what I'm saying man. It seems so simple at first is placed it You're not doing meds damn Zoro's I go Like everybody should look for her. It's not me. That's such a huge place to man. This is home home base Oh There she is Shot it has something to do with either Robin or the government official that visited him.   How is he alive? That's kind of like the catchphrase of the show though How are they alive? secret entrance Mask well, well, well, there's some underground thing going on here with the masks and what not Yeah, the mayor's like beloved by everyone as that's how they've portrayed it That's kind of Zoro's type that's how he is Mystery music again It would be upset to go on a hunt down whoever did it like the ship ride to one two two Must be pirates. Oh, yeah, it's always got to be pirates because he gang because he's the name of Mitsuki's cat Such a weird connection as I said Gorgie the government official it's such a coincidence that right after he leaves He's attacked because he doesn't give him what he wants Yeah, what does he have that he wants Oh The government has a good Movie if he's still dealing with emotional trauma Let's go Polly get in there, baby. I have high hopes with him joining the crew high hopes This is that Frankie's train. Are they back? Is he done shopping? I just want to see his reaction to the house Was I him? Oh, there he is. I don't think he's the one that would have done it I don't know this whole Frankie Alice thing was taken down so easily It doesn't seem like the type to master my son. I mean the mask was in the room So what are the masks is the real question is whether or not Frankie with the I mean He has a mask to be fair But it's whether or not he has a connection to the other masked people and what's going on Robin. Oh such a mystery I mean anyone powerful important rich is gonna be targeted eventually to be fair This is a specific reason, but it's definitely it's definitely corgi for sure Is I almost can't like enjoy like the like funny little moments just because of what's going on with you sops.  I mean like I said everybody I feel like it's gonna be just not on edge but feel weird right now It's almost like it all stems from his own insecurities and not him being mad at Luffy for giving up on Mary. Maybe it does Maybe this was his his way of having an out without I don't know I just mean like I'm too weak cuz he knows they would have just held on it would have held on to him If that was his reasoning as some possibility You know Does he see the house? Oh my god? Oh my god. This is what I've been waiting for Yes Get rolled. This is without a doubt what the house was. Oh my god Hey, buddy you asked for it.  Yeah, the last people you messed with At least he knows it's almost like it shows that you're in the wrong since you already know who did it and why they would have done it cold-blooded This nose metal survivors Wonder if it's a big deal to the mask is off. He's really mad He can be strong. I doubt he's strong enough to take on the movie, but he can give it a shot like everybody else The ship building islands would technically is considered an island like where the shipyard is Yeah, I guess said pal. I don't think you're even the main worry right now. Oh shoot. It's what's her name? That's still not a cat Keep all the way back at the train station Oh Are we here like a storm approaching storm chimney. That's my name Don't be just cursed man Aqua laguna. Oh, maybe it is like a storm. Let's get what that sounds like. Does this happen often? They got sirens for it.  It's on the water in the water. Why are you laughing? This is horrible Bro, I mean everybody seems well equipped for it at least Yeah, Robin's still missing that would be horrible for the storm to start when her be gone Where would she go like something some place of old histories? ruins Maybe I don't know a historical center possibly There's no ruins. No, I think about I don't really I mean I don't think she's really ever voiced her her personal interests aside from history and ruins Did they give up? Come on guys. Yeah, not a ton, but she I guess that she doesn't offer up that much anyways.  Oh, he gonna make a big deal out of it here Wait, this is kind of a jammer Does he have a theme song? We didn't go away. I mean he is known as like his group is known as a nuisance to the town. What is this bro? Bro was shopping out of town. What did he buy by the way, did he put that sheet up just for this performance? The face of the waters of an underworld dude He has to know what's going on with the mask then and what's going on with Robin Everybody's running fleeing.  Let's go episode 238


In our environmental issues, Minister for Africa Aveke Ford says Britain plans to boost investments in renewable and climate change projects in Nigeria, and will provide $13.6 million of support. Ford on her false trip to the country said the financing invested alongside Nigerian credit guarantee firm Infracredit will help mobilize domestic pension and insurance investments and reduce the risk for projects targeting off-grid and low-carbon ventures. Power demand in Nigeria vastly outweighs supply, meaning its $200 million inhabitants must either go without or rely on expensive, fume belching generators and so the Nigerian Servering Fund, co-investor in Infracredit, aims to deliver up to $250 the 500 megawatts of renewable energy capacity in the country. You'll all know that Nigeria still has 85 million people without reliable access to energy. Implementation of the new plan will need to be done in a way that supports those people's needs and it's vital that the plan is backed by the investment of large sums of institutional capital in Nigeria like pensions funds and insurance money. So I am very pleased to announce £10 million of UK aid funding today. That's £5.6 billion Naira and that will help to support this. We're looking to mobilise in finance for local mini-grid operators that are providing access to energy in less underserved markets and this will ultimately enable these mini-grid operators to get up to 31 megawatts over the next 2 years or so and up to 100,000 connections will be implemented through this programme if successful.


Hey everyone, welcome back to my kitchen and welcome to a weekly meal prep. This is kind of new I haven't done one of these in a long time. Normally I do a monthly freezer meal prep if you are new around here I pick certain things in different times of the months and I prep them for the whole month So today I'm gonna show you a little more of what I would get ready for the week This does not happen every single week. Let's just be real But this is more of the ideal situation whenever I have time to kind of get everything ready for the week so basically I'm doing a lot of cutting up of vegetables and Just getting things ready that would only last you know a handful of days versus something in the freezer And I get questions a lot about Fresh fruit and vegetables especially whenever I am showing a lot of freezer meals and yes We do eat fresh fruits and vegetables obviously. I don't put those in the freezer all the time So I don't often show that part of it So I thought I would go ahead and kind of show you how I incorporate the freezer meals along with some fresh Food as well. So stick around because here in a little bit I'm gonna be showing you how I incorporate the freezer meals along with the things I'm prepping today This little thing is probably one of my most favorite purchases that I've gotten recently and it's an oil dispenser basically all you have to do is Squeeze that little top and then you can put oil on your pan on your cookie sheet and your muffin tins It basically is going to save you from having to buy a lot of cooking spray or wasting paper towels Which I love plus you can fill it with whatever type of oil you like to use and the bottle part is glass So I feel like it's a great quality and it comes in a couple different colors Anyways, there's my little ramble on my Amazon find of the week So the first thing I'm prepping up here is some Brussels sprouts and these are so great Just roasted up in the oven on cookie sheets And then I'm also roasting up some sweet potatoes as well and to reheat these because that's always a question I have when I do big preps is how do you reheat things? How do you cook things these here I will reheat in my air fryer But you could easily throw them in your frying pan with a little bit of olive oil and heat them up really quickly Or if you have a microwave, which I don't have a microwave But if you have a microwave you could always heat them up in there as well I like to use this bag method where I put all of the vegetables in the bag And of course I added some onions as well and with the oil and just kind of mix it around that way I feel like each piece of vegetable gets coated really well Whenever I mix them up in the bag like that and I just use the same bag For both of these veggies and then I topped them with a little bit of garlic powder some salt And then I added some pepper to the sweet potatoes as well This week. I also needed some deviled eggs. That is a staple side in our house. We love them I grew up eating them all the time Especially in the summer times and at church potlucks and things like that So I'm just putting some eggs into the pan and getting them boiling While I was working on some other prep All right, and then this is always my tip with the bacon you can fry an entire pack of bacon so fast so Mess less just kind of weave the bacon with it going one way one layer And then the other way another layer and all of the splatters and everything is contained in your air fryer I needed the bacon for some broccoli salad. I love broccoli salad and the nice thing about this stuff Even if you're planning it for one meal the leftovers work great as lunch options and things like that And I just got to this food processor. I mentioned it in my last video It's the cheapest one Walmart has and obviously I'm pretty new to using a food processor because I had the disc upside down And I didn't realize it so I was actually like trying to use the slicing part on the cheese And it crumbled the cheese up and then on top of it I actually left the chopper on the inside so fix that and still got my shredded cheese I want to take a minute to thank Function of Beauty for sponsoring this week's video You all know that I don't share things unless I absolutely love them and I have very fine thin hair So it's very challenging for me to find products that work well for my hair But I've been loving my personalized shampoo and conditioner from Function of Beauty. It's been a total game changer It doesn't weigh my hair down and it makes my hair so silky soft Function of Beauty walks you through a quiz to Completely personalize your shampoo and conditioner They ask you the questions to make this shampoo and conditioner perfect for you Another thing that drew me to Function of Beauty is they do not contain parabens or sulfates and they are vegan and cruelty free These have been dermatologists tested so I know it won't irritate my scalp and you can customize even the color and The scent two other things that I really loved about this is they do include a pump Which is super convenient and they put your name on the bottle if you choose that option I just thought that was so unique and fun to open up the box and see my name right on the bottle To be honest though, even without all of the aesthetics, this really does work well It comes right to my door and I don't have to go out to the store to get it If you click on the link in my description box, you will get 20% off your first 16 ounce custom sets I also recommend becoming a member because you get perks like free shipping. Now, let's get back to cooking Okay, so we're still prepping the broccoli salad and I just dumped the cheese in with the broccoli and now I'm getting the bacon out of the air fryer and Just chopping it up into some big bacon bits You can put as much bacon or as little bacon as you want to in this I like a lot of bacon in it Plus it adds a little extra protein and then I just put a few spoonfuls of mayo and a little squirt of mustard And then stir it all around it really depends on how much broccoli you're gonna use with this I don't use the exact measurements. I just kind of have the list of ingredients and put them all together So that's how I'll leave it in the description box just with the amounts that you want to add into the salad Then at this point my veggies were ready to get out of the oven So I just sat them on the table to cool and I added some ice to the eggs to get them to cool down faster Okay, so I am actually making a roasted tomato soup because soup and cheese sandwiches are Definitely a great lunch option. So I decided I'm gonna go ahead and cook up a whole pot of tomato soup So that I have it ready for lunches this week and to be honest I'm kind of doing some test runs on tomato soup to figure out which one is the best that I can Can I don't really want to go ahead and can a whole bunch of tomato soup and nobody likes it So we're doing some testing and this one is really really good It would be a little bit harder to can because it does have milk in it So I may have to find something else to can but either way This is a really easy option when it comes to roasted tomato soup So while they were roasting in the oven I went ahead and cut up some fresh fruit I kind of like to pick two fruits for the week. That's just kind of the way I've done it for years So whether it's oranges and apples or whatnot so this week I did a pineapple and I did some kiwi the girls are on a major kiwi kick right now And I know this is gonna look like a lot of kiwi but literally they can eat all of this in about two days and Really gets eaten up fast. Obviously you wouldn't want to store this in the refrigerator very long Just because kiwi doesn't do well But because we eat it so fast it wasn't that big of a deal and I always look at it this way with a fruit Like this they need me to cut it and peel it and I have to kind of stop what I'm doing to go do that if they want it as a snack But if it's already cut up and in the refrigerator They can just go get it out themselves and it saves me from having to kind of interrupt the task at hand. I Just had to get this beautiful shot of all of these delicious veggies So now I'm going to make some homemade guacamole and I'm gonna be honest with you all I have not made guacamole before I've bought it A lot, but if my memory serves me right, I don't think I have ever made it before also this little tip of pushing the back of the Avocado I only learned recently to get the pit out I didn't realize you can literally just push on the back of the avocado and it will pop right out So don't hurt yourself with a knife trying to get the pit out Just take your thumbs and press on the back of the avocado and the pit should pop right out for you So this recipe was really really simple and turned out really well And you can kind of adjust some of the ingredients to your liking But I will leave the recipe link below of course with all of the others Okay, so does anyone else do this whenever you're dealing with really hot peppers like jalapenos? Do you put gloves on years ago?  I just picked up this chopper It works really good for hamburger but I realized that it works for a lot of other things because I also used it to mash up strawberries to make some strawberry jelly this week and Now I'm using it to mash up guacamole. So it's definitely being very used in my kitchen Now we're going to assemble the tomato soup. So the tomatoes were done roasting So I just dumped everything into my Dutch oven and you put some cream in it and along with some Chicken bone broth and I used a little bit of feta cheese and some salt and pepper And then I used my immersion blender that I love I really love this thing if you're looking for one That is a great quality. This is a really great one I will leave the link below But it just blended it up and then I just stored it in some mason jars in the refrigerator This is another snack that if I have on hand my daughters will eat so much and that is Cucumbers and if I just have them cut up in the refrigerator, they will eat these things like potato chips They love them. I like them, but I think they definitely love them more than I do So now we're going to get started on the deviled eggs, but I have to make a comment this day was so absolutely Beautiful and I felt like this beautiful sunlight coming in that you're gonna see across the next couple of clips Was such a wonderful reward that God was just giving me a little bit of sunshine to end all of this hard work And when I was finished with this meal prep I went out and sat on the porch with a drink and just soaked in the vitamin D If you live in a place that's cold you totally understand this This is probably one of the warmest days that we've had so far and the sunshine this afternoon sunshine was just beautiful Sometimes whenever I film it can be really bright and I'll move out of the sunshine But this day I was like I have to share these rays of light for all of my northern Subscribers that are missing the sunshine as well and deviled eggs often make me think of summer and picnics And all of that so all of it together was just perfect So the other thing I like to do whenever I'm finished making my deviled eggs Which I just use a little mayo and mustard and with the yolk is I like to sprinkle them with paprika However, I was out this day. So I just use a little chili powder the next thing that I put together was some overnight oats and This is so simple and I forget about it a lot of times But all I did was shake a little bit of oats into each container and then I did use regular sugar You can use any kind of sweetener you want to you could even use honey or maple syrup And then you can top it with anything that you want I use some bananas and some blueberries and then I try to kind of guess But you want about one part oatmeal to two parts milk And you just let them sit overnight and they're ready to go the nice thing about these is they do Have a couple days that you can leave them in the refrigerator and they're a nice grab-and-go Breakfast for anyone in the house Okay, so I wanted to show you my plan for this week and how I will use my freezer meals along with the weekly meal prep I just did on Monday We're gonna have steaks with sliced potatoes and I'll just do those fresh and soak them And then we can have some of the carrots that I'm canning right now Tuesday we will have barbecue meatballs mashed potatoes and peas and that is a freezer meal Wednesday We will have sour cream chicken enchiladas and chips with the guac and that is a freezer meal as well Thursday we will have roast beef with the sweet potatoes and peas and the roast beef is really simple I can just pull that out of the freezer then on Friday We'll have the lemon pepper chicken, which is also a freezer meal with baked beans and coleslaw that I'll just make that day Saturday we'll have burgers with the broccoli salad that I prepped today and some potato chips Sunday we'll have pulled pork sandwiches, which is a freezer meal carrots and Pickled eggs which I'm actually boiling the eggs for the pickled eggs right now to put in with the pickled beets And then here's all of my extras So I did pineapple kiwi cucumbers Doubled eggs overnight oats and then tomato soup to fill in for lunches All right, so I told you all the other day on Instagram that I'm going to start including What I'm canning every week at the end of my video every week I know it's not everybody's thing to do long-term food storage and things like that But this is what I am working on and so I figured I will just explain what I'm doing and Obviously if this isn't your thing you can click out But what I'm working on today while I've been prepping for the week is canning some carrots And honestly with this being the first thing that I'm showing you how to can It's a great starter because it's truly so so simple and I have to give a little disclaimer This is how I'm doing this. It doesn't mean it's the most recommended or safest way to do this I always have to give a disclaimer with this kind of stuff because Some people have their methods that they feel they need to do. I'm not pressure canning these But this is how like even my mother-in-law has canned carrots for years So check with your grandmothers. They may be able to give you some tips that may not be by the book But this is how I'm doing it So first of all, I'm just doing baby carrots. It saves me time on cutting up carrots You can do regular carrots as long as they're all around the same size It doesn't really matter, but this is just fast and simple. So you cold pack the jars With the cold carrots or you know just raw carrot Then you're gonna add around a teaspoon of salt to each jar now I think it's a little bit tastier to have a little less than a teaspoon per jar But that's up to you. You can do one batch taste them and see which you think these are my magnets for my lids back here I just stuck them to the side of the stove. So after I have all of my carrots in here I'm going to wipe the rims. These are clean sterile jars I just washed them in very very hot water and put them over here I have my lids back here in this pot Boiling so they're getting sterilized and then I have Purified water in here that's getting hot the next step will be to ladle in the really hot water that is in here and Once they are up here and have about an inch of headspace I will add my lids and screw on my rings back there And then I will put them over here in my canner if you hear something hissing. That's what's going on this is getting to a boiling point and So it's all very very hot. I do have some carrots over here that I just pulled out. Oh, that's hot And so I will let them sit for a couple hours to make sure that they seal Really really well and obviously test the seals and then I'll take the rings off Label them and they will be ready for storage and then right here is my labels I will link them below they are from Amazon and I actually get them in huge packs But they're great because they dissolve right off the jar when you go to wash the jar So you don't have any sticky stuff on your jar plus They're very simple to write on with just a regular pen We had some popcorn last night so it's over here But this is how the carrots look whenever they're done. They are super super simple and they can keep for you know a year Depending you may want to do a little research on how long you want to store yours I do have to show you this because I just got it today in the mail from Amazon But it's a butter dish and it says butter all the things on it and it's great You can keep soft butter right by the stove to put in the frying pan or on top of butter bread So anyways, this is the finished product. I'm gonna go ahead and load up my next batch So one more thing I do process these for three hours in my water bath canner. This is just from Walmart super cheap canner And I will leave the link for it below again You can do your own research and decide how long you want to can them for but three hours is What I do for these I hope this video was a total inspiration to you Let me know in the comments if you do canning or if you're liking this Content of canning or doing freezing and that kind of thing for long-term storage Also, don't forget to subscribe if you're new and I will see you all in my next video


bit of an advanced sort of mapping topic, but it is something that I think if nothing else will show you the range of what can be done with crime data and mapping. If you're, if you really want to get into it, or if in fact you want to rope someone who is very technical into helping you do it, it can be very useful. All right. So what research am I presenting today? I will be featuring this package, Aerial. So this is the research. Jeremy Menace has presented a paper called Dacymetric Speciotemporal Interpolation, which is a huge multiple. And I have put some R Markdown sheets in the guest presentation folder of day three that includes SF, which which we already saw the R package SF and also Aerial. There's a link to his, the DOI if you want to see his original paper, which is quite well written I have to say. Clearly I haven't done the animations properly on this. So what's the basic idea of Dacymetrics? It could be daisy metrics could be death. I don't know. Never make fun to someone if they pronounce something differently because it just means they've learned by reading and that is to be applauded. I say that as I mispronounce things quite excessively. So basic concept works a bit like this. Imagine you have a group of 10 people. But you only know some things about this group of people, you know that five are men and five are women and that some of them live in London and some of them live in Manchester. Now, if you wanted to do some kind of analysis about the women who lived in Manchester. If you want to create a map, for example, that shows the breakdown of men and women in London and Manchester, these kinds of things, you might just off the top of your head say, well, we'll split it evenly. If we assume an even distribution, then two and a half of these women live in Manchester that is not very believable. If you know anything about how women are divided. So you might make a more reasonable assumption and say actually London is about four times the size of Manchester in terms of total population. So maybe we should shift our assumptions a little bit rather than an even distribution assuming an even distribution. Let's assume the distribution matches roughly the population distribution between these two places. In that case, we would have a one woman, if our group of 10 people, there's likely to be one woman living in Manchester. So how do we apply this kind of logic these kind of like using other things we know about a space to mapping? Well, Coropleth maps, which we worked with a bit, they tend to evenly colour a polygon according to a feature. So like population density or population totals or the number of people who own cars or whatever it is that you're looking to plot. But other sources can hint at the distribution within that polygon. So for example, if we're mapping population density for a polygon that we know includes a huge park. We can really say, right, nobody lives in the park or if it's a lake, no one lives on the lake. We can make really quite sensible assumptions based on things we know about the features within that polygon. So if we combine this information, the population or the population density or whatever we're plotting for the polygon, if we combine it with other sources of information about the spatial distribution of that polygon, we can get more accurate. So population density, for example, is much more accurate if we don't assume that people are living on the top of the lake or in the middle of a park. And if we take it a step further, and we apply this kind of assumptions that we know about how things are distributed across the space, we can also apply it to how things are distributed across time. We know, for example, at least in Manchester, that the weather in winter encourages people to stay indoors much more. So for example, people are much less likely to commit certain kinds of crimes in winter than they are in summer, just because it's raining or it's freezing cold or it's totally dark and people just aren't hanging around doing the same kinds of crimes. So we know some crimes are not evenly distributed in time. We apply the same kind of logic about how we know that uneven distributions are likely to apply to both space and time. And we know that population density, for example, doesn't necessarily change between summer and winter in a place like Manchester. But we do know that population density might change over time in some places. You know, seasonal workers in a rural area, those populations are definitely going to change over time. You know, and we can use information about maybe what crops are grown and what time they are harvested or stored or how much labour is needed to do that and at what time of the year, things like how much labour is available in the community full time versus how much needs to be brought in seasonally. And local demographics, how many people of working age are in the community to begin with, things like that. Vacation towns in the same way, so we might use information like holiday schedules or school breaks or local transport links to say, you know, are people likely to come in by plane or train or motorway or these kinds of things. And if so, where they likely to be coming from, what are these holiday schedules for those places. And even within like a day, you know, or a week, we might look at, you know, the flow of people in shopping centres or using public transport or things like that.  What kind of hours do they typically open, do they typically open on weekends or is this a community where people shop on a Sunday or not, things like that. So let's look at how Jeremy Menace, who produced the research that I linked to earlier, has applied these concepts. He actually had very detailed location about the place and time of crimes in, I believe this is Chicago, yeah, Chicago. But he deliberately anonymised and abstracted that to a very high level to see how accurate this desimetric mapping interpolation worked. So he abstracted out to very broad sort of regions of the city. And for an entire year, so this is how many incidents of battery, so people getting in fights basically. Occurred in these large neighbourhood sort of blocks, polygons, over an entire year of 2002. And then he took a map of the land use area of the same space in Chicago. And everything that is dark grey is likely to be a populated like a used area. Everything that is in light grey is not like a non-populated area. So this one down here, I think is a park with a lot of water features. This one is the airport, Chicago O'Hare Airport. And this is the waterfront. So here on this side is Lake Michigan. So all along the waterfront is a lot of industrial area. And these are major boulevards and industrial districts. So he put these together and he also broke it down into seasons according to the temperature and sort of weather habits. And using this method that only took the high level distributions and the assumptions based on spatial and temporal expectations. He broke it down and found that this is what these are the sort of high impact areas in winter. And then in spring, summer and autumn, they shift around a little bit. So there's interesting things here. And his results showed that in fact, this method was very, very accurate, certainly much more accurate than only using space or only using time. So combining both space and time reproduced very nearly the original low level data. And so he was quite pleased with that. And this means that people can get quite useful, accurate predictions or estimations of data without compromising the anonymity needed when things are published at very high levels. And why might this matter, of course, if you look back at this map. And if you're a police department, for example, saying like, well, where do we want to put officers to respond quickly to or to prevent incidents of battery? You might really just target these three red ones. And so those are the high incidents. You might think, well, maybe it will send someone occasionally through these orange ones. But if you look at these maps, you'd say actually winter doesn't need very much sort of additional patrol at all. But in summertime, you need much more extensive areas of active sort of patrol or intervention. And that's, you know, also pretty much the whole city, at least in summer is at least the orange range, if not the red. And that means really you have to you have to plan out your policy of how you're going to make interventions differently based on space and time than if you look at just the high level statistics over vague blocky areas. So the key contributions of his research are when supplemental data supports its use temporal dashi metric in interpolation is a valid technique. So if you have good reasons to suspect that things are not distributed equally by time, then temporal dashi metric interpolation is useful. I think spatial or temporal interpolation will not always improve your analysis, but that if you combine them both, you're very likely to improve your analysis. So obviously this only applies when it is reasonable to assume that things are not evenly distributed according to either space time or pulse.


In order to achieve in-memory photonic multiplication, we first send an optical pulse down a wave guide to set the state of the GST. This changes the transmission of the GST in an unvolatile manner so that we can encode a number between 0 and 1, which we will call A. Next we send a second optical pulse, which is at a much lower power. This encodes the second number, B, which we wish to multiply with A. Finally, we measure the output power on a photodetector, which is the multiplication of both A and B. Since the state of the GST does not change, we can multiply as many numbers as we want at the speed of light by multiplying different amplitudes of B with the constant value of A. So if we combine two of these unit cells in parallel, we can achieve basic matrix vector multiplication. On the left we have our original unit cell, where we are multiplying A, which is encoded in the GST transmission, and B, which is encoded in the optical pulse amplitude. On the other side we have an additional unit cell, where we have encoded the number C in the GST and D in the optical pulse. Since these two waveguides combine, we have the addition of A times B plus C times D, which outputs to a photodetector. This will give us the result of a two-element matrix vector multiplication.
