your Air Force to bring you this story as proudly we hail the United States Army our story is entitled it's a small world this is the story of a strange night reconnaissance patrol that Sergeant

today and now your army and your Air Force present the proudly we hail production it's a small world if you've heard it said once you've heard it a hundred times especially when you're far from home run into a guy went to school where there happens to be a relative of your cousin's brother-in-law's best friend and he's bound to say or you're bound to say well well it's a small world huh you don't have to tell me how small this world is here I'm stationed in Berlin and I got married to this wack corporal who lived eight blocks from my home in Chicago can you imagine but the story I'd really like to tell you really proves how small this world is and it concerns something that happened about nine years ago is it that long well it must be anyhow Della and I had us each a furlough and we got a car so I could show Della around Europe we got on the Autobahn and barreled along till we reached Stuttgart we figured that we'd stop off for something to eat and then drive all night and reach Paris the next day if you got a good car distances are really nothing in Europe well we're sitting in this restaurant and all of a sudden I hear a voice a voice I remembered hearing during the war nine years ago Kelly is there something wrong with the soup you've been sitting there like a statue holding the spoon halfway between the plate in your mouth it isn't bad so look after your left see those three guys sitting at the table next to it so I'll bet any amount that nine years ago the blonde one was in the German Army well at his age why shouldn't you have been in the German Army nine years ago what else would he have been doing playing left field for the whites starting to talk again it has to be the guy I know that voice any word sometimes I wonder what would have happened if our parents had nothing to eat from our children really could have bought them their communication we could have demoralized them we might have gained time isn't it bad enough I have to listen to your war stories do I need this when the power shoot battalion landed it was ambushed the Americans had the area surrounded they were waiting how did they find out it was a secret a carefully guarded secret how did they find out who knows I know how many times must I tell you when I'm with you I don't want you to sit there talking to yourself finish the soup on Werner the other guy just called him Werner that was his name all right major Gottfried Werner friend of yours we were together in the same house yeah when France back in the winter of 1944 now look honey they got a new captain at the army hospital he's a psychiatrist when we get back from leave I want you to report in here I am under the same roof with this guy again yeah it's a small world should I tell him why his paratroopers were ambushed what do you think well I'm we use we I don't know what to think and how did it all happen I got lost I was in charge of the patrol and I got lost okay okay you're going to have to tell me this story which means your soup's going to get cold do you mind if I finish it for you while I listen look if that's how you feel about it skip the whole thing how did you happen to meet that guy the next day forget it no sweetie I really want to know well it was December why you put so much salt in your soup you ruined it for me it was the coldest December I ever saw in my life I was in a foxhole with a machine gunner when the runner came to tell me to report back to the command post I could have jumped for joy even though I was sure I knew what the old man wanted sit down Kelly you look at all you could use some coffee Charlie fill up a cup will you yeah how is it out there cold captain I think it's going to snow get some coffee search hey you want to change your socks yeah that is called Kelly I'm trying to relieve as many of the boys as I can I got most of the first platoon back in town I'll have them up in the line as soon as it gets dark I figure most of your men can get a night in front of a fire I could use it well not you exactly Kelly I need a patrol maybe I can have another cup of coffee yes sure battalions worry they think we may be just a little bit too far forward they don't know just what kind of strength the enemy has so someone has to get out there look around and bring us back to prisoner I think you could handle it with two men and yourself we're not going to find any sensible Jerry soldiers drifting around in this cold well the cold should make it easier for you to get in unobserved what do I take with me captain we'll take somebody who's been back here keeping warm in the CP all day I've got about 12 men in the other room I better go inside and break the good news to two lucky soldiers take two good men Kelly fellas who have been out with you before yes Charlie save me some coffee I know it's after Christmas but I got two extra presents here for two lucky guy keep away from me I know it's going on your mind I ain't interested thank you mr. Gordon be good enough to join me in the captain's study at once we're gonna talk about the present worldwide conflict and what you personally can do to end it sooner not a night like this I'm gonna see the chapter far he isn't gonna go out in the patrol with you I went out last night that's your fault for being such a good man inside let's see oh was that corporate van classes it sure is van your country needs men don't look at me Kelly I'm just a boy on a man along who can speak some German I don't speak German Kelly I speak good enough come along van this brisk exhilarating air of the wonders for you all the you guys get ready your personal stuff van you got a 45 having your barrows lend Gordon yours do I have to carry a machine gun to know we're not mad at anybody tonight we're not looking for fight I'll take my M1 you two can take car beads you know I'm not running this army but if I was nobody fight in the winter time there used to be such a feasible guy Kelly how do I get into these things you think about it for a while and when you're finished come inside yeah you know what I'm thinking yeah but look at all the war stories we'll have to tell our grandchildren yeah I should only live to tell them we moved through the deep snow as quickly and as quietly as we could all the time the flakes were coming down as big as silver dollars no good to try to judge the distance by counting paces because half the time we found ourselves slipping and floundering along and then I had to pull the biggest rock of all I took out my compass and tried to get a fix on our direction but my fingers were so numb with the call that I well what can I say I dropped it was somewhere in a snow bank gone forever or maybe in years to come a French farmer plowing a field that find it he can keep it I make him a present of it but that wasn't helping us now my original plan was to go wide around the enemy flank and work our way behind his lines for a patch of woods but right now I had no idea of where the woods were I had no idea of where we were either I found out soon enough at the ground for us with the jerry's what were they saying van nothing they're not sure Kelly just up ahead that big black thing it's a tank and they must have a tank in position to help out the artillery what are we doing back here with your children up a much further back than I thought okay let's grab one of these guys and go home that'll be a good idea if we knew where home was you hear anything yeah yeah my teeth I hear them shattering let's go inside the tank and start the motor sergeant said we have to start guard outside do you think it will come around in the night like this to make sure no but shoot yourself I am going inside oh is that all about fan did you catch it we ran into a couple of real gold bricks who can blame them they went inside the tank that means we can sneak past let's go where it's a difference we can't stay here couldn't stay where we were in any minute we could have run into the whole German army I looked at the direction that the 88 mounted on the tank was pointing our line would be in that direction that was no good I'd lose sight of that 10 yards away and we'd be lost again only it stops snowing only the moon had come out yeah but if it did how good would that be we'd be able to see but we would also be seen we couldn't stay where we were and we didn't know where to go just up ahead what's that it looks like a house Kelly it's right it is a house the question is is there anybody inside maybe yes maybe no what do you think Kelly I don't know looks like a big house the kind of place maybe a battalion or a regimental commander would use for command post yeah but then they'd have guys outside on guard on a night like this a guy and guard at stand inside the door maybe a gold brick like you shut up the tour there were Jerry's inside there be some kind of vehicles outside that have to be why is there some kind of law that says so no but it figures anyhow I say let's go in that suits this half Rose boy to a T so what if they're inside we got our weapons ready that have to go get there and now it's not that I really got anything against it you understand but I thought weren't looking for a fight and seconds from now we could blunder into Jerry's and be in a fight anyhow leave the way sergeant slowly we walked around the side of the house wasn't a single sign of life anywhere as we walked around the house I saw it was a large place made of stone like a lot of substantial old houses in the French countryside this must have been the country home of some wealthy guy maybe a place that was in the family for generations but nobody would be living in it now we hoped there was a door in the rear of the house tried the handle it was locked that's a good sign oh man can't we get in there I'm freezing what are you gonna do in the winter time let's see if we can get this window give me a boost higher so I can raise the wind all right that's got it hurry up look out for the best man oh what Kelly now let's look around wait a minute what's that so just somebody coming in this room van Gordon be ready to fly out

okay sprint for the woods hard to sneak through the woods we were extra careful we picked our way through the trees we were numb with the cold but that worked both ways because the Germans who were

Members of the media, ladies and gentlemen, I welcome you to today's ceremony, where one document will be exchanged. We have the MOU on India-Norway Ocean Dialogue between the Ministry of External Affairs, Government of India, and the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, Government of Norway. This will be exchanged on the Norwegian side by His Excellency, Mr. Nils Ragnar Kamsvog, Ambassador of Norway to India. And on the Indian side by Sri Gita Sharma, Secretary of the West Ministry of External Affairs. Excellencies, this concludes the agreement exchange ceremony. I now request the spokesperson of the external affairs ministry to conduct the proceedings. Thank you. Good afternoon, ladies and gentlemen. I welcome you all to this press statement event. To begin the proceedings, may I request the Honorable Prime Minister of India, Shri Narayanan Modiji, to deliver his statement to the press. Your Excellency, Pradhan Mrdi Hanna Solberg, Norway's Aya Sabhi Vishis Tathirikaan, friends. Last time I met the Prime Minister Solberg in Stockholm, I gave him the invitation to come to India. And I am pleased that today I had the opportunity to welcome him to India. Prime Minister, this is the first Indian trip. And because of this, I would like to express my gratitude to the people of Rai Sinha Dialogue. For this, I would like to express my gratitude to them. Friends, in 2017, when I met the Prime Minister Solberg during the G20 summit, he had sent me a football. By the way, last year, the world's most well-known Golden Ball player, Norway's female football player, Adha Hegerbar, met him. And for this, I congratulate Norway on every day. But Prime Minister gave me the football. His opinion was something else. But football wasn't about the goal of the game. Rather, it was about sustainable development goals. Prime Minister Solberg has given a lot of attention to the sustainable development goals. In his journey, Prime Minister Solberg has also established a new Green Embassy in Norway in India. And so, for Prime Minister's best wishes, I wish him as much happiness as possible. Sustainable Development Goals also eat a lot of mail from the development goals of India. And for us, this is about both countries and the Norway-India Partnership Initiative. We are working very hard on this. But in the relations between India and Norway, trade and investment is very important. Norway's Government Pension Fund Global has invested nearly $12 billion in portfolios in India. I am pleased that with Prime Minister, more than 100 companies from Norway have come to India. Yesterday, in India-Norway Business Summit, with their Indian business leaders, there was a positive interaction. I am sure that in the coming times, portfolio news and foreign direct investment both companies will benefit from the support of India. Especially, in the environment of the world, in shipbuilding, ports and port let development, Norway's companies are being closed for long. Friends, the related issue is about the Ocean Economy. This area is very important for the development and prosperity of India. 15% of the people of India live in coastal cities. Their lives are connected to the ocean economy. And if you look at the unprecedented appearance of the coastal state of India, it is far more than 500 million people. And on the issue of the ocean economy, you can assume the concept of Norway's glory from this point of view, that in the course of Norway, 70% of the people of Norway are from the marine industry. And that is why I am happy that today, in this important area, the union has a new beginning in our relations. Our bilateral ocean dialogue will guide our union in all sectors related to this area. Friends, on the international level, the union between India and Norway is very strong. UN Security Council reforms, multilateral export control raising, and many other things like terrorism, on which we are working very closely with the union and the region. Today, we have discussed all areas of our union and also discussed the new energy and direction. Excellency, you accepted my invitation to come to India. Once again, I would like to thank you once again. In the evening, I hope that your trip to India will be very happy and successful. Thank you. Thank you, sir. Now it is my pleasure to invite the Prime Minister of Norway, her Excellency, Mrs. Anna Zalberg to deliver her statement. Yes, thank you very much for the warm welcome that I and my delegation have received during our visit to India. And I think we have increased the partnership between our two countries, and we have reviewed them during this meeting today. I think the partnership between our two countries are moving in a very positive direction. We've had fruitful discussions on a broad set of issues, including how we can accelerate progress towards sustainable development goals, and steps we can take to further strengthen our bilateral ties. And given the importance of India's economy and the size of its territory and population, the world will not be able to reach the sustainable goals unless India is on board. And I have seen impressive improvements and work done in India, especially on a favorite subject of mine, women's empowerment, where the work is going hard on. Women as a force in local communities should be even further strengthened in the years to come. Access to education, to quality education, to make sure that they are participating in the workforce and making the most of their talent. I usually say that no country is rich enough to not use half of the talent in their population. And I saw yesterday on my field trip that you are doing hard work to really accelerate women's participation and women's empowerment. As the world largest democracy, India plays an important role both regionally and globally. We've had an open and constructive dialogue on how we can work more closely together to protect and develop rule-based international governance. I think it's important that both big countries like India and smaller countries like Norway join forces to work for the benefit and talk about the benefits of multilateralism in a time where there is increased protectionism. Multilateralism is not just about trade and economy, it's also about making the international organizations function, for example through reform of the UN. The UN needs to reform in the way they are working. And they need to be representative of the world the way it looks today, not the world as it was seen in 1940s. We have to make sure that that is a change in the future. But we also have to make sure that we are delivering good services in the multilateral to the people of the countries that we are governing. The question is also always, do we manage to put our policies into a practice where we are increasing the benefits and that's about what the 17 SDGs is all about. We have agreed to intensify our cooperation on issues relating to the seas, to a new joint task force on the blue economy, focusing on integrated ocean management. India is an ocean country. We first started our practical cooperation through fishery projects between Norway and India, and we are intensifying the work in the future on the ocean economy. Oceans are important for jobs, for clean seas, for resources. It's one of the least explored parts of the world, which is below the ocean. It can create more jobs, more medicine, new experiences for us all. That means we have to keep it clean, and we have to manage the resources so that it both benefits the people, but also in a generational perspective that we have clean oceans in the future. We have identified new opportunities for collaborating in fields, also such as energy, climate and the environment. The Norwegian government recently launched a new strategy for our engagement with India. This is a testimony to how important we attach our bilateral relations. The strategy outlines priorities and a common direction for the various sectors of the Norwegian governments in the time ahead. India's rapid economic development provides a good basis for forging new ties between our private sectors. On this official visit, we have been accomplished by a large and diverse business delegation from Norway. They have been discussing with Indian partners for two days. They show that there are great opportunities in jobs in both countries, in making sure that we can both grow and create benefits to our societies by cooperating. That is in our both our countries interests, and it's an example on how international cooperation and international trade in fact is a benefit to the rest of the world. We need to make sure that we create more jobs in the world in total. Good agreements and cooperation between businesses is important for that. So I look forward to seeing more Indians in Norway and more Norwegians in India to create jobs and economic opportunities. Prime Minister Modi and I shared the view that there is a large untapped potential for developing strong links between Norwegian and Indian private sectors and I think we have started on finding new areas to work and on the research and development where we already have a large involvement which we can increase even further in the future. And finally, as I've said, this has been a very nice welcome for us in India and I hope I have the pressure of welcoming you back to Norway. I haven't invited Prime Minister Modi to come to Norway and I look forward to receiving you there. I hope you will find the time. Thank you very much. Thank you, Excellency. This concludes the press event. Thank you all for joining me.


Relaxed before he rises to make a constitutional change to make amendments or constitution Tuhe extracted regimes in power for a long time That is what is behind this. It is not about the people. It is about his own personal rule. We cannot accept this as a country. We must not accept this as a people. This will be the beginning of the destruction of this country. The Zambian people have been very consistent on the constitutional issues. They have never allowed the constitution to be manipulated easily. The Zambian people have resisted any efforts to manipulate the constitution. They resisted it under the PF. Mr. Akaendi himself and his team resisted that on the bill term. We should resist it the same way. Why does Mr. Akaendi... Why does he want to change the constitution? He wants to ensure that he stays in office much longer. He wants to increase the table goes from 5 years to 7 years. He wants to remove the 50 plus 1 close so that there is no rewrite. He wants to remove the running mate so that he can appoint Vice President of his choice. These are some of the fundamental things he wants to change the constitution. They want the number to drop down so that automatically they have a two-third majority in parliament. And during that period the effect of the constitutional changes they want. This is not acceptable. We cannot continue on this path. Mr. Hachilenma is destroying this country. He has failed to deliver what he promised the Zambian people in terms of economic benefits. Now he wants to butcher the constitution of this country. To protect himself from his failures. This must not be accepted. And it may not stop at the nine that have been removed. They may continue to remove more people. And in fact those who remain also will be intimidated into supporting or tolerating what he wants to do. If we allow Mr. Hachilenma to take this path we can to be destroyed for very long time to come. A very dangerous precedent is being set. We know he won't stop easily unless you the Zambian people stop him. He has no restraint on what he wants to do. He is not a person who listens to other people and invests things, changes positions. If he is not opposed because we are on this path we will go and do it. Let's not deceive ourselves that this is about the PF. What is going on in the PF is not about Mr. Hachilenma himself. You don't need to be intelligent enough to see that is Mr. Hachilenma doing what is happening. My own sample and those around him don't have that capacity. This is Mr. Hachilenma's game and he must be stopped. Zambia is bigger than Mr. Hachilenma. He can play with many things but he shouldn't be allowed to touch the constitution of this country. He shouldn't. The constitution of this country is not about Mr. Hachilenma. It's not about PF, it's not about UP and it's not about any of us. It's about all of us. As we have repeated the same, if this country is not good for all of us to live in, it will not be good for any of us to live in. They shouldn't deceive themselves that they can do as they wish. We have seen many changes in this country. Imingalato has been promising. His opponents should not come to this. He can do Imingalato with his colleagues or his opponents in the PF, but he cannot do Imingalato with the whole people, with the whole country, with the whole nation. It's too big for him. It will soon become a mouthful of sand for him to swallow. Enough is enough. He has crossed the red line. He has manipulated all the three arms of the state to save his own personal interests, to save his corrupt regime. They are busy enriching themselves while poverty is growing in the country. In addition to poverty, they should take away our constitutional rights. He must own the constitution enough. It must become something that he can change at will. That will not be allowed and must not be allowed. Sorry for calling you at shop notice. But this is an agent issue. We age all the Zambian people. We make a cradium coat to the Zambian people to rise up and take their stand on this issue. He can play around with the PF, but he should not play around with our constitution.

Welcome! The following video will demonstrate how to program a Go-Control Z-Wave wall dimmer switch into a GC2 security panel. All lighting products must be installed by a licensed electrician. Once installation is complete, you can begin programming. Ensure the panel and device are within 5 feet of each other. If needed, disconnect the panel from AC power and walk the panel over to the location of the switch. The panel will continue to run via the backup battery. Next, navigate to the GC2 Z-Wave Toolbox. Press the Services button. Then press Z-Wave. Press the wrench icon. Enter the installer code. The default installer code for the GC2 is 1, 5, 6, 1. You are now in the Z-Wave Toolbox. The Z-Wave devices may need to have past programming removed before they can be added to a panel, even if they are new. We do this by performing the removal process, which is also known as exclusion. To begin the removal process, select the Remove Devices button. The Remove Z-Wave devices screen will appear. Press either the bottom or the top of the paddle two times. You will see a notification on screen that the device was removed. Press OK. Press back. Now you can add the switch. This is also known as inclusion. Press Add Devices. The Add Z-Wave devices screen will appear. Press the paddle once. You will see a notification on screen that the panel is querying device information. Do not exit the screen until you see the details for the switch display. Press back to return to the Z-Wave Toolbox. If you have any remaining Z-Wave devices, you can add them now. Then, install the panel in all Z-Wave devices into their final locations. Lastly, complete a network rediscovery. During network rediscovery, the panel will recreate its Z-Wave routing table and optimize the mesh Z-Wave network. To initiate a network rediscovery, navigate to the Z-Wave Toolbox. Then, press Advanced Toolbox. Press Rediscover Network. The panel will display a message that it is rediscovering the Z-Wave devices. Then, the panel will automatically redirect you back to the Advanced Z-Wave Toolbox. Note, the panel will continue to run the network rediscovery process in the background. Network rediscovery will take around 1-2 minutes per Z-Wave device. Z-Wave services may be unavailable until network rediscovery is complete. Press the Home button on the panel. The Go Control Z-Wave wall dimmer switch has now been programmed into a GC2 panel.

Health emergencies of all kinds happen annually. Occasionally, an emerging infectious disease would shock our health system, examples of which include the Spanish influenza of 1918, the cholera outbreaks and tropics, the SARS, Ebola, Zika, dengue, measles, polio, and now we have COVID-19. For this episode, we will try and understand health emergencies with specific attention to outbreaks and epidemics and how the health system prepares and responds to such overload of the health system. This is Dr. Teddy Herbosa, your host for health issues here at TVU Peace. For this episode, our guest is a career official of the Department of Health. I met her in the early 90s in the Original Disaster Management Unit, or DMU of the Department of Health under the time of Secretary Pengson. She eventually became the Regional Director of Mi Maropa, or Region 4A of the Department of Health, and of Region 5, Bicol Region of the Department of Health. She played major role in eruptions of Mayan volcano and typhoons that happened in the Bicol Region, and eventually played a vital role as our resource hub manager based in Samar during our response to the typhoon hyan in 2013. Soon thereafter, she was rewarded a post as Director of the Health Emergency Management Bureau at the Central Office of the Department of Health. Viewers, let's welcome Dr. Gloria Balboa to help issues to discuss emergency response operations in outbreaks and epidemics. Welcome, Glow. Thank you very much, Yusek Ted. He's my former boss here at the Department of Health. Thank you for that kind introduction. And hello to everyone watching. Thank you very much. Yes, Director Glow, let's start off with what is the DOH response plan for a pandemic or a plan for emerging infectious diseases? Okay. Actually, we have specific bureau that is the Disease Prevention and Control Bureau that has the Emerging and Re-emerging Disease Program and actually, they are really the ones in charge of pandemic emergencies, fairness, but since this is already an outbreak, so this is when the Health Emergency Management Bureau is coming in because this is already an event, a disaster event. So the coordinating function of the Health Emergency Management Bureau is there, okay? But of course, the data are supposed to be provided by the Epidemiology Bureau. So they work hand-in-hand at the Epidemiology Bureau with the Disease Prevention and Control Bureau coming up with the policies, guidelines, the plans, and then the Health Emergency Management Bureau comes in to sort of coordinate all these efforts that the Department of Health are doing. And in fact, the Health Emergency Management Bureau is the one sitting at the National Disaster Risk Reduction and Management Council of the Philippines. And now also sitting at the National Incident Command, Emergency Operations Center of the National Task Force. So, I know for a fact that during our time, the Department of Health submitted a pandemic influenza preparedness plan to the World Health Organization. Can you tell us more about this because I think you were a regional director then, so I'm sure you also had some inputs to that pandemic preparedness plan. Okay, yes. Based on the pandemic preparedness plan of the Department of Health, and actually it was an option, option of a lot of disasters or special epidemics that we have already experienced. And as you have probably listened to our plan during the start of this COVID-19, we have forced first when we had the presence of the COVID virus in other parts of the country, like in China, that is our door one, okay? Where we tried to really limit the entrance of this virus to the Philippines because it's still outside of the country. And then we went into door two when we have already, there are already cases that has in our borders and has entered the Philippines. So, we were into that door. And then door three is when we are trying to prevent social community or local transmission, okay? And then when we already had the local transmission, we went immediately into door four. And this is when it was just a cluster or a small patches of areas having the disease, it's just the sub-level one. This is already the code red alert, okay? But sub-level one. And then when we had the sub-level two, this is when we already had local transmission in a lot of areas. So, that is the door for sub-level two. So, that is still code red, but already sub-level two, okay? So, our plan is... So, that is how we prepared for it, yes? Correct. The prepared plan involved is situating where the country is at particular levels of an outbreak or a pandemic. So, in that case, we have a unit in the Department of Health called the Epidemiology Bureau. They're the ones tasked to actually do the surveillance. Can you discuss to our people how epidemiologic surveillance is done and what is the function of the Epidemiology Bureau? Okay. The surveillance bureau, the surveillance activities of the Epidemiology Bureau is there actually even during normal situation. We have the regional epidemiology surveillance unit at the regional level and then at the local levels, provincial, municipal, city levels. We also have this Epidemiology Surveillance Unit. Now, they do this monitoring or surveillance of cases, especially the notifiable diseases, okay? We have the sleep notifiable diseases. And when there is this increasing number of disease, number of that disease, then they would report it going up to the regional and then the Epidemiology Bureau so that immediate intervention can be done already and that is when they do the epidemiologic investigation. Okay, so this is to really insinitute the necessary actions so that for it becoming an outbreak can be prevented. Okay, so that is how we do it. And although, of course, there are some limitations because not all are part of that surveillance unit because only hospitals identified as sentinel sites are included. So not all private hospitals are part of this sentinel surveillance system. That is why, you know, that is part of the limitation. But it's good that here, when we had this COVID-19, we have already included everybody, you know, all the private hospitals, local government unit hospitals and, of course, the D-Wage hospitals are already part of this and we are doing this to our data data collect application because we already have this on mandatory reporting of notifiable diseases. So all health facilities are expected to report already all notifiable diseases. Otherwise, they will be, they're sort of a penalty. Could you give us a list or name some of the app notifiable diseases that the Department of Health and the other epidemiology surveillance units are monitoring or continually assessing? What are these diseases? Well, we have, of course, HIV-AIDS. Yes, HIV. TB. Missiles. TB. Dengue. And cholera. Cholera. Yeah, a lot more. Okay, those which are all public health emergencies. And then it's another unit that looks at the emerging and we emerging, right? We have polio, right? We were not monitoring polio before, but suddenly there was an outbreak. So now polio is being monitored, correct? Yes, yes. So that's what we call a re-emerging. Re-emerging disease. Yes. So this one, the COVID is in emerging diseases. So it's a new, it's a novel virus. We had SARS, which was similar to it. And remember during our time, we had MERS-CoV during that time from the Middle East. These are what we call the emerging. These are the new diseases and we monitor them. Gula, you need to describe to our tele viewers when do you say there is an outbreak of these diseases? If we monitor these diseases for you all year round, dengue, TB, HIV, when do you say there is an outbreak of missiles? When do we say there is an outbreak of dengue? Yes. Okay, yeah. It's not that easy to declare an outbreak. No, that is why we really need the technical, the experts to do that. But basically when we say there's an outbreak is when the number of cases have increased beyond the usual, meaning to say we have to look at the past five, at least five years incidents of that particular disease. This is if it is an old disease, okay? So for the last five years who have to look at the other rates or the number of cases and then when suddenly there's an spike or an increase at least half, no more than half of the previous incidents then we can say that there is an outbreak. But for new diseases like COVID when it's not there, there's never a case before. So even just one case would really fit the definition already of an outbreak. That is why when we had the first case that was March of COVID-19 because we are already monitoring it because it's in other countries. So the moment that we had that first case then it declared already that there's an outbreak. Yes. So we've become part of the countries with a COVID outbreak. Yes. So we're part of the pandemic. That's correct. So can you tell me you mentioned it a while ago that the different levels of government have what is called the ESU or the Epidemiologic Surveillance Unit. Yes. You have the CESU, the RESU, the PESU. So can you explain this network because these are our, I call them our disease detectives because every time I visit them they are like detectives. They have on the wall the contact cases. They are the ones that do contact tracing. Is that correct? Yes. Can you explain the ESUs? Okay. Yes. Well, we have two levels, national and the local level. So at the first national is the Epidemiology Bureau and then the regional which is also part of the National Surveillance Unit because we are on a devolved setup, right? So at the national DOH is up to the regional level. Okay. And then provincial down to the municipal and city level. So these are proving our local Epidemiology Surveillance Units. Okay. What does this unit do? First is when, first this is surveillance. They are the ones really monitoring the incidence of diseases in this different, in a different sentinel sites. Okay. And then once there is an increasing number of cases then they would do Epidemiologic Investigation. So they are the ones like detectives as you have said, no? Going to that area where there are increasing number of cases to really do this Epidemiologic Investigation. They try to see where are the cases, what are the causes and the signs and symptoms and then they try to really look at the source of that infection. And then of course there are tests that needs to be done. Then once the test would show that it's positive then they would do contact tracing of these positive cases. Ayon. So the close contacts will have to be investigated and then the contacts also so that preventive measures can already be done. Like if there are things that particular contacts need to do or like for example if it can be prevented by immunization then immunization will have to be done. And it is already a lot a significant number in a particular area. Then mass immunization can be done. But this are for diseases that can be prevented by immunization. So that's a vaccine available. Yes, yes. But we also find the source, right? For example, I remember Yes, of course, the source is very the source was a pigary linked to a to the river where in the waste of the pigary was going into the river it was contaminating the water sources of all the communities downstream. So that's one of the the other thing that I noticed in the current situation that's a lot of confusion is the term quarantine and isolation. Can you differentiate the two terms? What is the quarantine done for? And what is the isolation? Yes. Okay, based on the guidelines that the Department of Health released, I don't remember the number of that Department memorandum but they tried to differentiate between the quarantine and isolation. When you say quarantine this would mean putting in areas those who are close contacts. Okay, so and those who are suspects and probable cases this are not just positive. Okay. And so they are put in a quarantine facility to limit the potential for them to be able to spread the disease because we still don't know whether they are positive or negative. And so and the design for that quarantine facility is such that they are put in one room each, okay?  So that is what we call a quarantine facility. You prevent them from moving around so that, you know, even if you are not sure yet if they are positive negative, but well, if they are positive then you could limit the transmission, okay? So that's a quarantine. But for the isolation these are already the positive cases since they're already positive the design of that isolation facility is such that they can be put already. No, it doesn't they don't have to be in one a room with their own comfort rooms but they can as long as they have this at least 2 meters distance between the beds so cohorting na pwede that is why pwede sa ward in the hospital ward or in a gym where it does just have to be designed that, you know, we will still limit the transmission. But since they are all positive already then they can be cohorted. So Yunyong, quarantine di pa siya positive isolate those positive ones. And so well, we also use quarantine for people that come in from outside the country, right? Can you explain that procedure? Yes. Yes. Okay. First, if they're coming from countries especially in countries where there is local transmission so we really would want that when we receive them they are not symptomatic okay, and they are negative. That is why the procedure is that they should be tested when they're still in their country and they're supposed to have a negative test. But, you know, of course because of the this scarcity already of the test kits because globally we have shortage of the test kits. So if they have not been tested yet then they should be asymptomatic, okay? So if they once they when they board the plane they have to be checked, of course, the usual B.O.Q. procedures those who are asymptomatic will be allowed to board. Those symptomatic should not be allowed to board. Should not be allowed to board. And then upon arrival in the country again they will be tested by the Bureau of Quarantine Thermals County and signing the Health Declaration card and those again asymptomatic will be brought to a quarantine facility because they will have to undergo 14-day quarantine because they have not been tested yet, okay? And then but for those who are symptomatic they will be brought directly to a hospital, okay? Because we don't miss them to those who are... We isolate them those that are symptomatic we isolate them. So, look, you said it's a 14-day quarantine. I remember during the Ebola we had the soldiers from West Africa and we quarantined them in an island, Cavalio Island but it was 21 days. So, can you explain the difference in days why in Ebola it was 21 and why for COVID we use 14? Okay. The 14 days or the 21s would refer to the incubation period wherein within that period that's a time that you are supposed to present signs and symptoms, okay? So after that if you don't show signs and symptoms then you are sure to have not contracted or the disease, okay? So, yun po yun. And since these are different different viruses they have different incubation period, okay? So, yun na yung sa Ebola I said it's 21 days but for COVID based on studies it's 14 days. Although first we know that there are some that are extending beyond 14 days but majority it's really 14 days. So, yun po yun and that's a basis for our quarantine period. So, it now becomes clear how the epidemiology bureau the epidemiologic surveillance unit quarantine, isolate, contact trace. Now, tell me more about the health emergency management bureau. What is the HMB? What is HMB of the Department of Health? Okay. Yes. But I mentioned that the health emergency management bureau is the bureau within the Department of Health that coordinates all the emergency and disaster management operations in the country, no? And this, when we say health emergencies and disasters so this would refer to the natural, the human injuries and even outbreaks, okay? So, that is why we're here. HMB is supposed to be the repository of all this information about any health emergency and disaster and yun na. We are very strong in coordinating all these responses because we have to manage from the prevention mitigation preparedness phase to response and then up to the recovery habilitation. So, we cover the entire management cycle. And then when before it's more of the responses are more on the actual response but now we are more proactive that's why disaster risk reduction we changed the name even the National Disaster Risk Reduction Management Council because we want to focus more on the pre-disaster activities so that we can prepare better to respond. Paranganon. So, it's not just responding, no? But really preparing for it which is a lot, lot more job. Okay. So, now that you're here at the National Incident Command Center Emergency Operations Center representing Yusek Bayugo and Secretary Duque in this multi-agency operation can you kind of summarize what DOH Department of Health has accomplished so far in the response operations task group of COVID-19? Yes. The test group response operation is one of the four task groups under the National Task Force so the other three would be the task group this resource management and logistics and then eStratcom and then the food security. Okay, so since this is a health event so the task group response operation is headed by the Department and in fact it is a major task group among the four task groups it is a major task group because all the others would really depend on the task group response operations. Correct. So, yeah, we are in our action plan national action plan specific for that task group response operation we have when before it's just when detect isolate treat now it has evolved into prevent okay, detect isolate test treat and then reintegrate. Okay, and this is going to the new normal so the different activities that we're doing are based on these strategies so when we say prevent of course we have there the different precautionary measures that need to be done by the community the individuals acting social distancing hand washing okay the face mask okay and then really staying at home staying at home of course and then there's a lot of information dissemination that's really needs to be done okay and then crisis communication yes, especially crisis communication and then for the detect the main activity that we're doing here is contact tracing okay and when before it's just our rescue which is national scope because of them increasing then well we have a lot of cases already so we need to do contact tracing by the local epidemiology surveillance units okay so sila na po ang ako contact tracing and we have been hiring we have hired additional contact tracers and then involving the different agencies especially in the local government units to be doing the contact tracing go headed by our lessers okay and the DILG yes, DILG is really yeah it's headed by DILG because the task group response operation yeah it's headed by the department of health but the secretary is DILG and they're really doing a lot of job a great job and the other members A, AFP, PNP um post guard maybe Red Cross is also our partner or a member of this task group okay and then going back okay detect basically it's more on contact tracing and then isolate this is when we once were able to trace the close contacts then we put them in a quarantine facility okay close contacts and then if they are asymptomatic but for the symptomatic they are classified further into the suspect and the probable cases because this are not tested yet okay so after that then uh once they are in a quarantine facility we do the testing because well we cannot test them immediately no so we put them first in a quarantine facility and then we test and then because the result would take about three days before we get the result then uh they would stay first in the quarantine facility once they are tested positive then we treat them okay we put them in the isolation facility for the uh positive asymptomatic and mild but those who are severe and critical cases uh would be put in the hospitals okay so input uh because they would be needing you know they have to be in isolation units uh intensive care units and maybe they would be needing these ventilators no because this would really affect the respiratory system and a lot are dying because of pneumonia as a complication of this COVID-19 okay so there they undergo the treatment and hopefully when they uh get well then they are reintegrated into the community no uh in fact if they do not uh after after treatment if they are tested already negative no once they are positive and then uh if they are getting well they are tested again only when they are tested negative can they be brought back to the community now if they have not completed the the 14 days in the hospital because they're uh relatively well then they are allowed to go home if they are negative already but they have to complete the 14 days who are in isolation in the in their home sorry it's quarantine they have to do home quarantine to complete their 14 day quarantine at home and of course there are guidelines that so ayunpo and then of course they have to still practice the usual precautionary measures so that they don't of course for everybody to be protected the other thing that the Department of Health has done very well is that you have increased the number of tests per day I remember we started with only three test centers but today we have about 206 can you talk about the different testing 30 can you talk about the different testing centers okay can you describe the efforts in increasing our capacity for testing yes okay yeah initially it's just RITM the research institute tropical medicine that is doing the test and then we have five additional sub national testing laboratories so they are strategically located in Duzon with CIS Mindanao and then an NCR okay and then because of the need to have more testing laboratories then we have opened it to even private hospitals well there are stages of the accreditation process there are five stages first stage is the submission of self-assessment form so that they would know what they need to prepare to be able to become at laboratory testing facility and then once they have complied they go to stage two validation that is when at UH regulatory people would go visit the testing laboratory to see if they have you know they're ready and if they see that there are some deficiencies then they have to comply so that's going to the stage three and then they have to comply in terms of the equipment of the environment there and then of course when you speak of equipment they see our machine and very important which is quite difficult for a lot yung biosafety cabinet standards yeah biosafety yeah standard ja and aside from expensive no it's really difficult to buy and then but once this are in place already then this is the time they go into the next stage which is the proficiency not proficiency stage where the personnel because this is a new knowledge so not any medtech or a professional can just do it so they still need to be trained on how to do it and then ayon so once they pass the proficiency test then they become they are accredited they're issued the accreditation and they can now operate a testing laboratory so we are very happy because from that time february ayon we have one and then six and now we have ah 30 okay we have now 30 and marikina is already accredited yes yes marikina nani yes passed of proficiency I heard they had difficulty at proficiency stage okay yeah also right cross and of course UP UP NIH NIA UP PGC and UP PGH we have V at the centers at the yes and then we had this one GBL ah which was inaugurated GBL ah HOSI HOSI HOSI yes and ah this was assisted by ADB okay asian development the asian development path yes because I think a modular lab that was flown in yes and attached to the hospital yeah it was inaugurated last Saturday and they're already ah operating and they can do as much as ah about 10,000 a day tests I think they're also ah the resources that are available soon like the gene expert the one being used for the TB program can you tell us about that? yes okay yes I should mention this gene experts are used for the TB program and then it was found out that they could also be used for COVID-19 but there's this special card trades for that and then so right now we have two gene experts laboratories accredited already one is lang center and then the other one in Samwanga city medical center three DA Department of Agriculture what is good there is they complemented each other no so they were able to have that accredited as a gene expert laboratory and then we have ah 14 more ah to be ah in the process of accreditation yes government as a total of 16 in government and then three private gene expert laboratories so they're all into this process of accreditation so by the end of May probably we'll have more than 50 testing centers including the gene experts correct that's the target and how many tests we'll be doing a day by that time when all this are functional ah so both the testing lab and the gene experts correct okay well initially we have targeted by 8,000 where ngayon nakapanatayo we are over 8,000 8,637 tests yesterday yesterday yesterday and then but of course that is not enough so from 8,000 we're targeting 10,000 and then hopefully 30,000 today 30,000 a day so that we can test and have a more accurate picture of COVID-19 yes well last question for you director Boa is where I let you go because of your busy schedule any other issues major issues and concerns in the operations in the response operations for COVID-19 that you'd like to discuss okay well of course the issue and availability of logistics would always be there because there is this global shortage so that is something that is you know quite be on our control then but of course we're doing our best okay we are also having some locally produced like for example okay and other supplies so that's one and then one issue also is on repatriation okay that's a major issue a lot yes there are a lot of Filipinos that are being repatriated and in fact Sabina is 100,000 or even more so I believe there are now 20 how many thousand 20,000 almost 25,000 that came in already yes and they filled up our quarantine facilities yes what I thought were very huge mega quarantine facilities became filled up in an instant and went to stop the airplanes flying them in for a week right so now they're coming back we will be having more of them for the coming weeks right yes so yeah that's a good move very to government suspending for quite the time the repatriation so that we can you know let this those who are already here know occupying already all our quarantine facilities to be able to go home and that is after they tested past people to see our test because even the LGUs of course they don't want to accept them if they are not tested so we have to test them all and then hopefully they can go home even if they don't finish yet the 14 days quarantine and then we are again accepting repatriation but on sort of a controlled number yes controlled number okay so Yunpo but of course since there are a lot we need so many okay swabbers to test them mega swab centers are being sent out yes so we have four mega swabbing centers okay and guys two are working already and malaking baga yun so there are already those who are able to go home and of course we have to involve a lot of agencies here ang in charge kasi ang cost guard but of course OWA DFA POEA of course DOH and DOTR because they are the ones providing the transportation for this so are going home and we have to make sure that with the assistance of the LGP&P that they have a smooth travel going back to the provinces and that they are really accepted by by their respective local government units and Yunya with the pronouncement of our president saying that the LGUs and not refuse them because they are going home so there are just these requirements ayon there should be this medical clearance from the quarantine facility manager that they have completed their quarantine period or if not at least they are tested positive no sorry negative they have undergone the PCR test and showing that they are negative so even if hindi pa-completo yung 14 days they can be allowed to go home and then of course they have to get the travel authority from our joint task force shield so that you know they are going back home would be smooth at makarating nang maga okay so and that process would really require a lot of people a lot of procedures so yun po yung ating pinakakabalahan din ay well director Glaw on behalf of the Filipino people I'd like to thank you for your dedicated service in the field of disaster medicine and now in this pandemic that you are actually having manaming manaming salamat I hope you do stay safe and be healthy to lead the department of health in its response operations manaming manaming salamat thank you very much sir and thank you for it's my pleasure to be part of this program thank you po so ladies and gentlemen we've seen how the department of health organized itself in an epidemic we have several units the epidemiology bureau the epidemiologic surveillance units the HEMB the health emergency management bureau and all assets of the department of health are used to actually fight and combat the new new epidemic or the new pandemic called COVID-19 we welcome the efforts of the department of health in trying to save the Filipino people and we do hope that everyone cooperates at home and stay safe manaming salamat po this is your host Dr. Teddy Herbosa of health issues here at TVUT


One thing I love about the Book of Mormon is that it explains a little bit of how Christ works and how grace works because a lot of people they have an issue with Christianity because they think the way it works is you say I believe in Jesus Christ and you can do whatever you want and the Book of Mormon one of the or the prophets threw down on that and And He later on is quoted and says remember the words which I will expect in disease or as them in City of Ammoni Ha for he said unto him the Lord surely should come to redeem his people But that he should not come to redeem them in their sins But to redeem them from their sins and he has power given unto him from the Father to redeem them From their sins because of repentance Therefore he had sent his angels to declare the tidings and conditions of repentance Which bringeth unto the power of the Redeemer and to the salvation of their souls And I love that because it explains it it explains that because of repentance that Heavenly Father has given Jesus Christ power to have his grace to save our souls and I just love that verse. I love sharing that verse and It gives me hope because it says that the conditions are declared and How are they declared they're declared in his word and I've when I read the Book of Mormon I can see those conditions of repentance of leaving a Jesus Christ Compesting your sins to him proclaiming you be your Savior and moving on and trying to become a better person It's amazing to know that those are the conditions of repentance to confess for sake and to try to do better Every time she would you know grab the Book of Mormon and open it and begin to read in this book or even just to hold it She just felt this joy and this light and this smile came across her face


Hello, everybody. My name is Pippa Shirley. I'm Head of Collections and Gardens here at Wadston. I just wanted to give you a little bit of a lockdown diary, a glimpse behind the scenes at what we're doing in this rather extraordinary time when the house is closed to visitors to keep the collections safe and secure, which is obviously a very important part of what we do every day. We've got a very small team working still, our specialist conservation staff, and also obviously our security teams who are here as they always are, making sure everything is safe and secure. But I just wanted to tell you a little bit about what we're doing during this phase of lockdown, so I'm just going to flip my screen so you can see the rest of the room and I will see you in a moment. So, here is a more general view of the room. It's called the Baron's room and it was Baron Ferdinand's private sitting room here at Wadston. And looking at it, you can see that it is in a state which we actually call put to bed, which is a way that we look after the collections when we're closed. Because we're a historic house and not a museum, we have to manage the conservation a bit differently to somewhere like, say, the V&A. So, we put small objects in store and we roll the carpets and we cover the furniture to protect everything against light, which fades textiles and the needed furniture and dust, which can do damage if it sticks to surfaces. The reason that the room looks like this now is because when lockdown happened, we were in the middle of preparing the house for reopening. And so you can see that some objects are actually out, like that rather marvellous garniture of served vases on the mantelpiece, whereas some other objects still have their covers in place. Anyway, it's a good opportunity to show you what the house looks like behind the scenes, as it were. So, what are we doing now? Well, one of the main concerns is the environment in the house, which means the levels of relative humidity or moisture in the air. And what we're aiming for all the time is a stable environment. Too much R8, you start having problems, so we need to be able to use the heating system in the house to control the environment. What furniture and painting and textiles don't like are big fluctuations in their environment. That's when you start to get problems like cracking or flexing of the nears on inlaid furniture and also maybe the growth of things like mould, which is obviously very undesirable. So, we have sensors in every room and I'm going to show you one now. There it is, it's that little box there. Very exciting. And those are linked to a building's management system on our computer network and we can pull reports off that and also respond to alarms and adjust things if we need to, so it's a process of constant monitoring. And talking of monitoring, one of the things that the team are doing very actively right now is checking for pests. We're mostly concerned about the ones that eat organic materials, so wood and textiles, and that means things like woodworm and clothes moth, which we obviously all know about, and woolly bear, which sound really cute, but absolutely aren't. And they're the larvae of a carpet beetle, which as their name suggests eat carpets, but also other textiles. So, we use insect traps like this one here. I don't know if you can see that, so that we can monitor the populations of the insects. But then it's really just a matter of vigilance. So, we have to keep checking in crevices, curtains, underneath pieces of furniture, anywhere really that we think that they might be hiding and hatching. And then we hoover them up very carefully with specialist vacuums. And then the other thing that we check for on a regular basis are animals that can get into the house by mistake. These are normally things like bats and mice, but we have had the old bird come in and as you can imagine, they are a real headache to deal with.

The Federal Security Service shared a video showing the detention of a man as well as his correspondence allegedly about joining the Free Russia Legion. He was arrested while leaving the Oryol regional court. In one of the footages you can see the decision to search the workplace of the detained person. It is mentioned that he is Ramil Damirov.


This is Around the Northwest, and how about some homemade honey, some fresh honey from your own hive. If you've ever had an interest in that, there is an introduction to beekeeping, Taster Evening happening next Wednesday at half past seven. And I'm glad now that Colin McGuire from the Three Rivers Beekeepers Association joins me. There was supposed to be one other, but a few technical issues, but we do have Colin and we're streaming this as well on Facebook. So Colin, thanks for joining us. Thanks very much, John. It's lovely to be on talking to you. And talking about a subject that's obviously close to your heart because I'd say a lot of beekeepers are not in it for the money. That's one thing, John, that I'm not in it for, just for the love of it. I'm only in the third year. And that's probably one of the things that I really enjoy doing, you know, just for the love of it. Yeah, people goes on it. There's people who's on it the big way for honey production and stuff. And for money, but it doesn't register with me at all. But for most people, it would be a hobby. And if they get something out of it, they get their own honey, they're happy enough. That's a bonus. The honeys, the honeys, are we bonus now?  I don't love, I don't love it. Well, maybe they're in a jar down the road. Right, do, I do for sure. And tell me how much honey do you get? I mean, you said there that it's a bonus when you get honey, but is it almost guaranteed, or is it the amount that's just not guaranteed? The amount is not guaranteed, John. As I say, I'm relatively new in beekeeping. I've learned a lot about them. I've done quite a few courses on them, a geolarnal experience with my own hives and some of my friends. The honey last year, apparently for people who've been at it a lifetime, it was one of the worst years in about 40 years for beekeeping. Remember the real, not last year, sorry, the year before it, the first year of the pandemic, it was not under the COVID, it was the real number who had the real hot weather in March, April, and it just, it just seemed to, nothing seemed to work right, we bees at all that year. So last year was, last year was amazing for bees. Amazing. I think it was one of the best years in recent times. How much honey would you get from a hive? It depends on the strength of the colony, where you're located. I have a friend, a brother of mine actually, he has one hive and he could have took maybe 200 jars from that one hive. Some, yeah, some hives you might get 20 jars from. Are there different numbers of bees in every hive?  A mixture of everything, John, a mixture of everything.  A full production colony could have 60, 70,000 bees in it. Right. You know, any change? Are they, are they dangerous because you think you hear about bees and you hear, but that's sort of a number and you're thinking, I'll stay well to hear them. Are they dangerous for you? And what about the neighbours? Are they, are they useless for the neighbours? No, no, not at all. If they're managed, it's all a bit managed, John. Yes, it's part of beekeeping, you get the odd-westing, you know, if you're working with bees, but generally, generally not. Now, I have, at home, I have eight hives at the back of the property. There may be 20 meters from the pario area. In the summertime, we're all set out, friends, family, villagers, and they don't bother them at all. If you don't bother them, they don't bother you. The last thing a bee wants to do is stingy, for if it stings your base. So that's the last thing a honey bee wants to do. So you don't have to be out smoking them all the time and stuff like that? No, no, no, no, no, no. If you're working with them, John, yeah, you would, sometimes, I tend not to use too much smoke. I tend not to use the smoker at all. Some people use it, those count them down a wee bit, you know, if you're working with them. So, but now, generally, as a real now, they've just, they've just been playing past me, minding their own business. You've been well trained. And is there a lot of work attached to it? Or is it a case of setting it up and then just letting them do it? There is a lot of work, John, and that's why we're trying to promote the course as well. Some people would maybe get on the bees, they would buy bees online, they would get bees, they haven't actually, what they're doing, not saying it in a bad way, but there's a lot of work managing them and you're on a bit neighbors and stuff. If you don't manage them properly, they can become useless, they can, you know, swarm, they could end up on somebody's house, but the whole idea is staying on top of it and you need to know the information and you need to know how to do it. And that's why we're trying to promote the course, you know, to teach people these things. But the end product makes it all worthwhile or at least mostly worthwhile and I'd say you're well in with the family if you're getting that many pots out of a good year then. No, spreading it around. Anyone, I haven't sold any honey, John. I've had a few jars of honey last year and I just give them to friends and family or anybody calls up to the house or they always go away with the jar of honey and they always come back looking for more. They say it's the difference in day and night and the locally produced honey than the stuff that you buy in the shops. It's a different product all the time, it's unreal. And I'd say you'd find different uses for honey, it's that good. There is, John, and actually without deviating or going away from the whole course thing and stuff. But we have a honey here in Ireland, it comes at the end of the years. It comes from heather, heather honey. When you mention honey, people start talking about manuka honey and stuff like that. But there's actually a big study done last year in Trinity where the heather honey would have more healing properties than manuka honey, you know, so it's good gear here. But Ireland is a country we don't promote it enough. We produce plenty of honey, but we just don't promote that fact. Yeah, yeah, yeah, the local. But it seems to be coming around, people are coming around here now and there's a lot of people, a lot of shops are stocking local honey and people, there's a lot of cost, you know, and it's not, it's a premium product, John, but people are realizing that once about once that they're going back and buying it again and again, which is great. And heather honey even better than manuka honey and we know what the price of manuka honey is. So, you know, if you're able to keep your own bees and make your own honey or maybe there's different types of honey, you could say heather honey, so there must be other types as well. Well, that's basically where it comes from, from the heather and the mountains, you know, but yes, they have different tastes of honey, different types of honey throughout the year.  So every jar of honey could be, every batch of honey could be a different taste, you know. It's really interesting. And is it a lot of money to get started?  Can be expensive to get on that, John. You can get on that, all guns blazing. I could cost a lot of money.  But that's an initial cost, yeah, yeah. And then as you build up, you build up your own bees and stuff in, so it doesn't be as costly, you know. They sort of, they provide for themselves then. Yeah, yeah, it'll be tempting to put a wee charge on the pots, even if you haven't done that to date. But if anybody's collecting pots of honey from you, feel free to give a donation for the bees. My intentions is, I suppose next year, this year, I was building them up a lot. But personally, my intentions next year, I'll have a lot of honey next year too. So I'll probably try and get a few local shops and stuff, you know. So we'll see. We'll see. The plants don't always work, do they? No, no, no.  It's a mixture of everything, John. It's a mixture of everything.  So it's a matter of keeping on top of it. But I suppose that's why we're in it. And every day is a school day, no matter what you're doing. But I'm actually doing this preliminary course starting next week, you know, for beginners or people that are looking to get on it. We're actually doing another course at the minute that I'm doing it myself. That's, you know, the next level, if you like, it's a level three course on them. And it really goes on the depth about the home bees and stuff. And that's just their fascinating, fascinating way to think through there. But for those who want to get started, the introduction next week would be brilliant. It's a taster evening and what's involved, it's just sort of outlining a lot of the stuff we talked about the cost and the amount of work that's involved and things like that. There is. They, I suppose for everything else, COVID and stuff, this last couple of years, the whole thing has been up on arms. We were plowing on there on Zoom and stuff, you know, but next week on the 16th in the Donald up, you'll see all the information on the, by the way, on the Three Rivers Facebook page. If you just type in Three Rivers Bees, Three Rivers Beekeepers Association on Facebook. There's contacts there. There's an email address and stuff like that. So anybody has any kind of interesting message to page, they can send an email and stuff. But as regards next week, it's basically an open evening. There are people that have signed up for the course. They're more than welcome to come face-to-face. Maybe somebody's thinking about going to Bees. They can come out. They can have a talk and, you know, find out a bit more about them and maybe make up their mind if it's for them or not. You know, we're really looking forward to getting back to meeting people face-to-face again to where, to be honest. So that's the idea of that evening. Come out, ask the questions, see what's involved in it and basically make up their mind. Okay, it's next Wednesday evening, half past seven in Donnie Loop. And for more information, just put in the Three Rivers Beekeepers Association on Facebook and you get all the info and more on there. Colin, the best luck with next week and beyond. I will send a jar down to me, Paul McDovey. He can leave it for you. Brilliant. I look forward. I mean, he doesn't need it on the way down the road. He'll have to get one too. John, thanks a million for having us. ESP, with the help of the Climate Action Fund, has been making significant improvements to the electric vehicle


Hello and welcome to the GVSU Calculus screencasts. In this edition, we will do an example of integration by parts. Recall that integration by parts undoes the product rule for differentiation, so the rule for integration by parts is the integral of Udv is Uv minus the integral of Vdu. So in this screencast, we're going to work through an example where we need to use the integration by parts formula several times to evaluate a single definite integral. So consider the problem of integrating x cubed plus x squared plus one e to the x dx. With U equal x cubed plus x squared plus one, we have du is 3x squared plus 2x dx. And then setting dv equal e to the x dx and integrating gives us v is e to the x. Applying the integration by parts formula gives us the integral of x cubed plus x squared plus one times e to the x dx is u times v. Now u remember is x cubed plus x squared plus one and v is e to the x minus the integral of v du. v again is e to the x and du is 3x squared plus 2x times dx. Now this new integral that we get, integral 3x squared plus 2x times e to the x dx, is less complicated than the one we started with, but it's still not one that's easy to determine. Now again the integrand is a product 3x squared plus 2x times e to the x dx. So let's try integration by parts again. And the same idea as whole. We're going to integrate by setting u equal to 3x squared plus 2x because differentiating the polynomial will make things easier and dv is e to the x dx. So du in this case is 6x plus 2 dx and v is again e to the x. So the integration by parts formula tells us the integral of x cubed plus x squared plus one times e to the x dx is what we found to be x cubed plus x squared plus one times e to the x minus this integral 3x squared plus 2x times e to the x dx. Now we apply the integration by parts formula to the integral of 3x squared plus 2x times e to the x dx and that gives us u times v and u is 3x squared plus 2x and v is e to the x minus the integral of v that's e to the x times du 6x plus 2 times dx. Now distributing the subtraction across the material in the parentheses shows that the integral of x cubed plus x squared plus one times e to the x dx is x cubed plus x squared plus one times e to the x minus 3x squared plus 2x times e to the x plus 6x plus integral of 6x plus 2 times e to the x dx. So to finish our integration we need to integrate 6x plus 2 times e to the x dx. Again it's the same problem we had a product so we might try integration by parts. Let's set u equal to the polynomial part 6x plus 2 and dv is e to the x dx. Then we have du is 6 dx and v is e to the x again. So we apply integration by parts one more time on this integral 6x plus 2 e to the x dx in blue and that gives us u times v, u is 6x plus 2 and v is e to the x minus the integral of v du, v is e to the x and du is 6 dx. So we end up with the integral of x cubed plus x squared plus one e to the x dx is reduced to x cubed plus x squared plus one e to the x minus 3x squared plus 2x times e to the x plus 6x plus 2 times e to the x minus the integral of 6 e to the x dx. To complete our integration process we just have to integrate 6 e to the x dx and we can do that one directly. We can factor out the 6 and the integral of e to the x is just e to the x. So we conclude that the integral of x cubed plus x squared plus one e to the x dx is x cubed plus x squared plus one e to the x minus 3x squared plus 2x times e to the x plus 6x plus 2 e to the x minus 6 e to the x plus c. And that concludes this example of integration by parts. We hope to see you again soon.


All right, our next caller is Jackie from Michigan. Hey Jackie, what's your question? Hey guys, I had a couple questions, but one that I was really wondering is Adams talked a couple times in the past how he was trying to catch Sal's deadlift and I'm kind of having some issues right now with deadlifting and I didn't know if he had any advice on like anything specific that he did or any type of like extra exercises that really liked helping get there. Honestly, what did it was I had never put that much focus on deadlifting consistently, so I was deadlifting at least two if not three times a week to try and do that. Now, keep in mind when I say that I'm not lifting like max intensity three times a week. So I'd have one or two really hard training sessions a week and then the other one would be like form and technique or I would do like deficit deads or I do snatch grip deadlifts and so I do different variations or even switch up to sumo every now and then, but really it stopped. I stopped doing a lot of other back exercises in my routine and then the deadlift just became like the primary focus ran very much like a like I don't know if you follow maps power lift or if you have that or not, but a program more like that that's just focused on a few lifts and getting good at it. Trying to do it in like a full bodybuilding routine and catch someone like that would have been impossible. So I had to focus all on strength and doing it two, three times a week. Yeah, I'm training right now. Actually, I'm hoping to do a first powerlifting meet in March.  So do you have any specific mobility exercises to do you think would help specifically powerlifting? Well, that really depends on you, right? So I'd have to it depends on where you're like. So mobility stuff for me was hips and ankles were like my limiting factor, right? But if you have good hip mobility and good ankle mobility, that's not a big deal to you. So it really depends on where you see the most deficiency or breakdown in your form. Yeah, do you have any areas that you notice you might think you need to work on mobility wise? Yeah, I think definitely my hips. I haven't actually ever had pain. I used to do bodybuilding before and I never really got any pain from lifting. But ever since I've been really increasing, you know, going a lot heavier doing the powerlifting, I do kind of get some hip pain. So I went through, I've done the webinars a few times. So that definitely helps. I can feel a big difference when I do that. Do you have MAPS Prime Pro? I don't. Every time I go to buy one of your programs, I can't decide which one I want. And I get really overwhelmed and so I'm like, no, I'll wait and I'll think on it some more. So that's definitely something I'm looking into. Okay, so we'll send you MAPS Prime Pro. So you'll have access to that. And then what I suggest you do is go through the hip, the foot and the ankle sections, do some of the movements, see which ones give you the most impact, and then practice them on a daily basis. The best way to do mobility is to not treat it like a workout in the sense that you do it, you know, for 30 minutes straight, you know, two or three days a week, do it 10 minutes, twice a day, three times a day, focus on the movements, get really good at them. But Prime Pro has a lot of options for those areas. I have a couple more questions too. Are you conventional or are you sumo deadlifting? Well, I am conventional. And I kind of get frustrated because I see that like, so I know a lot of girls pull sumo and I feel like I should be able to, but it's just it's it, it feels better. But more recently, when I've been going up, I get really bad low back pain when I pull convention. Yeah, you might be right with your hips, and that might be why it feels more comfortable conventional. How tall are you? Five, six. Yeah, yeah, I think sumo would ideally, but if you have, if you are limited with your hips, then working on your hips would be ideal. What about hip thrust? Are you doing any hip thrust? Yes. Yeah, I do those about twice a week. I hate them, but I do them. Excellent. What's your what's your deadlift stuck at right now? 290. Oh, that's good weight though. Yeah, you're doing especially conventional. Yeah, you're doing phenomenal. Yeah, I just started three months ago.  Is this your first competition that you're entered into? Yes. Awesome. A phenomenal. Okay, so here's something that worked really well for me. I noticed the biggest carryover from my squats to my deadlifts. So my squat would go up, my deadlift would go up, but then at one point, I started to notice a little bit of pain near the SI joint. I don't know if you know where that is, but the SI joint is near the lower back, but it's kind of to the side a little bit. So it feels like it's like hip low back pain. Okay, if that makes any sense. Is that where you're feeling some of yours? Yep, because I get that sciatic nerve sometimes too, that goes off there on that side. Okay. Lunges did a phenomenal job for me. I was able because I noticed I could squat heavy. Then I would do lunges and the lunges were just so significantly weaker. I didn't have good split stance strength and stability. So I started to practice lunges and it made a huge difference in my deadlifts because I think it balanced me out. So maybe try doing some lunges, some backstep lunges, or walking lunges might help you out. The other thing we didn't address is sticking points. Do you have any sticking points? Like are you better? Right up off the ground. If I get up off the ground, I'm pulling it all the way, but for some reason it's just right in that beginning is where I see tend to get so deficit deficit deadlifts with lightweight should help with that. And then that even that makes me even feel stronger about split stance exercises for you like walking lunges. I think that might help you out. Awesome. Thank you very much. No problem. And hopefully you enjoy Maps Prime Pro. If you have any questions, just shoot us a DM. Okay. Thanks to that, guys. No problem. Awesome. Wow. I mean, talk about strong. I mean, do it. You know, part of that is being okay. This is one of the things too, and I don't get a chance to say this to her, but you know, when you start getting a little bit of progress and seeing like, you know, your weight go up or you're getting, and this could be both from an aesthetic side or even a strength side. You know, we just, I think as humans, we want more, we want more, we want more.  Encouraged by what you've already been seeing and hitting almost 300 pounds, conventional deadlifting. That's really good, man. And here's the thing too. When you go from bodybuilding to powerlifting, there's a transition where, and it's, I mean, it's, power lifters have to go through a similar transition when they go to bodybuilding. They have to learn how to focus on the movement, not the muscle. I've done this with people. Totally different technique. Yeah.  I feel my back. It's like, don't feel anything. Yeah. Just perfect the movement. It's all about the movement. It has nothing to do with feeling in the muscle. And then the reverse, you work with a power lifter and everything they do is about the movement. You're like, no, no, you gotta move it away. It's funny. I see it all the time, like just like that stiff movement, like the transition from bodybuilder to going into powerlifting, you know, having to kind of go through that of the movement can be smoother and the more smooth you get it, the, you know, the more weight you start stacking, it's pretty, it's pretty crazy. Totally different mindset.
