I think I needed drinking drugs to be around other people man, you know what I mean? I just was like, I think that's why I don't like being in a pub or in big groups of people now because I'm like, I don't actually want to be there. I needed to drink and drugs to turn me into a bit of a twat. But the bottom line is men are becoming weaker, we're at an old-time low and testosterone. This is massive, we're more depressed, we're more lazy, sex drive is down, we don't exercise as much. The problem is women these days, and this is very true, I've experienced it myself, women these days and feminism has got to the point where even being supportive of other men pisses off women.  My dad said to drinking too much, but you know, I think my dad would, he'd be proud now.  Sorry, that's making me a little bit fucking.  That's okay, bro.  But that shows you how much she loves you. Yeah.  Yeah mate, I think so. Do you know what I mean? Sorry. BOOM! We're on! It is, yes, we've got my main man, Dapper Labs. Would you say noone improved? Yeah, how are you doing, man? Good, mate, really good. It's good to have you back on. Thank you very much. Is this the same place we recorded before, that time ago? Is it the same, it's the same apartment block? It feels like a brass house, I'm just going to say it. Yeah, it is, but don't, we'll weather that out, so. This is... We've got to have the money somewhere, everybody else is getting done for trafficking me, why not me? No, it's good to be back, man, it's good to be back. And I've been trying to, just for your listeners and viewers, he's a tough man to pin down. I've been trying to get you on my podcast. I've been trying to get you on my podcast and... What is your podcast? It's, yeah, I might as well promote you while I'm here. It's Men Is Too Sobriety, much inspired by yourself, both my sobriety and the podcast. And I'm just interviewing people that inspire me. That's why I've been trying to get you on, especially about the sobriety route.  I'm a proper A-lister now. But I'm just interviewing inspiring people about being sober and how to get sober, say sober, and techniques, and the mentality, and unconscious thinking, and da-da-da-da-da. I had a hypnosis expert that specializes in cocaine addiction at Kirk Norcross. You saw the clips on that. Can it collapse? Yeah, he come on and spoke about his addiction. I mean, he was heavily into his coke, and it's unbelievable that...  He's just someone you wouldn't think would be sober. And they're like counselling sessions for me, and they're just helping me stay sober. Yeah, this is what it's about, therapy sessions. Shooting and shitting, just talking about the pain, talking about the struggle. I genuinely do believe men have become weaker. I put a post out on Twitter, I kind of, I worded it wrong. If I'm honest, I says, why is men become weaker? I was asking the question, social media, I drank drugs, porn, whatever. And then I says, something about suicide at an all-time high, something's not right, but people kind of get weak in suicide. I worded it wrong, but... And I thought you meant suicide is weak. Yeah, yeah, I'll just try to ask the question and kind of get a debate for a better understanding of so many things in life that make people struggle. But the bottom line is, men are becoming weaker. We're at an all-time low in testosterone. This is massive, we're more depressed, we're more lazy, sex drive is down, we don't exercise as much. We can't go on and on and we can create so many excuses and we can tiptoe around that.  And that's the thing. I think that personally, myself, I set up that group, men and their emotions where lads can post stuff on Facebook, and they can do it anonymously, they can post what their problem is and people can reply to it and it opened my eyes.  And then when their world falls apart around them, their world falls apart and they lose everything because of that excess. They don't have the mental strength because they're burnt out to fix it and that's where your suiciding stuff comes in. And I think that as men in general, we're constantly beaten up anyway by society, especially if you're like a white working-class male.  I think men, that's why Andrew Tate, I think, blew up so much. I think men in general feel a little bit like the World Action. But we're looking for guidance because my life is going great.  I've not struggled more now. I just know how to handle it now. I've got the tools and techniques that they align my bed and crying, they flick through social media looking for a bird, they see who's sitting in the pub that I can go down and have a few drinks with, take a line again, pretend that I'm fine. A lot of the people who I speak to, messages every day, people who are struggling. The majority of these people are taking drugs, drinking, watching porn and don't work, smoking weed and just...  You know how hard it is.  You were on the path. And then you phoned me. I think after maybe it was your first night out, I said, look, if you drink again, you want to get sucked back in. We went for a run, went to the gym, done some cold water.  Yeah, that was tough for me because like you said before we started the podcast, we're ego driven and I'd done six months sober and then my wedding was coming, Christmas was coming and my stag do was coming. And I was like, I'm fine. I've proved that I can go sober.  And I started getting your messages, your voice notes and that saying, how are you? You're all right. You obviously were watching and a bit worried. Then you come down and saw me and when we were on the runner, remember, you said, I can see it, it's in you. The drink's in you.  And I was like, I'll be fine. I'll be all right. And it was a matter of weeks before I was fucked with it. Yeah, you were talking. You see in people's videos, I see it a mile away. I see who struggles. I see even myself, we create content that keeps us busy. Why do I try and help everybody else? Is it because I don't want to face mean fears? Mound demons.  I've still speak out a lot and I'm still a working process but also know the results I'm doing. Look what I've achieved in four years. It's got to blow more in Trump but this is a guy from a council estate.  I wasn't on the crack, but I was bang on the charlie, bang on the weed, bang on the valium, took the reins and done. I need to change. Started working the process and just taking baby steps to then better my life. Even though it's all smoke and mirrors, it's always cheesy to have smoke and mirrors and that but you can still have a productive life and still achieve something. See when you were off at for six months, what was the trigger then? Have a drink. For me, it was boredom. It was boredom and it was the reason why I know it's different for me now is because the whole time that I was sober that time, I still felt like I was missing out. Whereas this time around, I feel like I'm free of it, even though I know it's dangerous still. It's always dangerous but this time, I'll tell you what it is. For anyone out there that's struggling right now with, like I never considered myself like an alcoholic or a drug addict because I thought to myself, I'm not alcohol or drug dependent, right?  I was never at a base level and I thought I suffered with mental health. I thought I had really bad anxiety and depression and that but now that I'm sober like 120 days or something, I get anxiety every now and then like naturally like people do when things happen but I'm not depressed. I don't have that really bad mental health downturns like I was having with my alcohol. So I think that I got to the point where I started feeling good and I was like, do you know what?  This is what I'm saying you bring so much positivity whether it's back in the day whether it was real or fake or it was an act or doesn't matter you're still bringing positivity to people's lives you're making people laugh certain bear you're bringing misery and people's life not always says this with Conor McGregor as soon as he started selling the whiskey things kind of started to spiral. You're right yeah that is weird isn't it it's not the universe sees it.  Yeah it's yeah I mean so you've got to bring it into the universe because this is all a big game yeah this is all a big game affirmations I'll go over the morning I am good enough I do love myself I am happy a fun in my mind I'm like I'm in a good place sometimes I don't do all that I know when I don't do it I know when I don't walk the dog in the morning if I don't do a bit of meditation kind of about fuzzing that day kind of eat a wee bit more kind of sit and watch TV so it's not always going to just because you stop the bad things it doesn't mean your life's 24-7 all rosy especially if you want to achieve I'm constantly trying to achieve and raise the bar and have fights and boxing action fight in front of thousands have a big podcast push yourself yeah you know what I mean but it doesn't mean my pains away but I just fucking know I can handle the pain more yeah I think my life changed and people's lives out there will change a lot more when you start working on yourself it's as simple as that work on yourself you know like the stuff you said to me I try to listen to many times and you know men don't work on themselves especially you don't work you don't a lot of men don't work on themselves and that's one good thing about social media that you know I follow a lot of inspirational people and I see stuff and if I see something that someone's saying that this might work to make you happy or to make you feel good I try it you know like the cold water stuff I know the exercise helps but I'm working on myself I know I'm working on myself I'm working on my mental health I'm working on my well-being I'm working on being a better person don't give up on yourself yeah for anybody watching that's maybe under struggle right now what advice would you have for them um talk to someone about it man like you don't have to go to a professional you talk to someone about it you'd be surprised if you just turn around to your your wife or your other half or a friend and say I think I've got a drink or a drug problem or a gambling issue it'd be like a weight off your shoulders once you say it out loud you can start start fixing it I think would you ever have any more kids um when the missus is ready to shag me again I think yeah I mean she's she's a career girl career woman now so I don't know I don't know but um I'm up for it mate that terrified me before but now relationships are hard as well that people think oh I'll get a relationship well I love my misses and that but we're working progress we have to talk like communication is key like if you're coming into your relationship and I'm coming we felt years with a fucking trauma yeah yeah two kids yeah I'm coming with a lot of baggage people might say oh he's doing well or this don't mean fuck oh yeah because what happens is when you what I realized when I was in a new relationship all trauma would come up that's the first time I've actually spoke about it with someone and we've addressed it and we've worked at it and we've kind of pushed through it and this is probably this is the longest relationship I've ever had yeah you've got to and I think I think listen we don't do it enough as men like look at yourself look at what's wrong man like the the best thing that I've done in the last year is is admitted how much of a prick I can be you know and there's there's there's there's relief from that you know we have to go for the future but I give me a future plans do you know what I can't believe I cried man what did we say when we were walking on a podcast let's have fun but before we go um I want you to come on my podcast when I can when I can lay down and from the bottom of my heart I just want to say thank you for for being there when I've called um thank you for um coming coming and finding me when you could see I was falling I love you man I'm proud of you thank you


All right, your version here was sound Looks like a bug trapped under a glass. I googled that bug at some sort of demonic cricket that takes chunks out of your skin when provoked Chunks is the word that Google used Okay, that takes chunks out of your skin when provoked chunks is the word that Google used Okay, cool. I like it definitely better. I Think there are a few errors that I would tweak there's something start with her When she says all this with that look, I think we can push that contrast a bit more where I Know it's it's very up close. So it gets a bit subjective and maybe you can You can try version to see you know what you prefer, but I'm wondering if You can bring her almost lower. Just just humor me.  She's really checking Big darts looking around like imagine. She's really examining this being really up close and then she goes up into this So after all of this checking around Goes into that pose shoulders drop a bit. It goes up Just right now if you look at it Roughly drawing this out onions getting hold on my previous drawings are there. So is again even worse. I Should do this on my walk-up, but I'm doing this on the screen. You can see how she's pretty much in that same box and given that this is a you know kind of a Change in terms of her motion headspace, you know, she's looking at things and this is her realization of this is really nothing that bad I think this could be two things then again could also not in terms of She doesn't care from the very beginning.  That's solely up to you But that could be one area where you could push contrast Rest is fine I love that you turn around so that we're really just focusing on her on him Then you're mentioning here in your email that frame 200. That's this guy if this is too big out of your skin and To me. Yes, objectively. I feel like I'm concentrating on him out of your skin and then whoa now. I'm looking at her. It's such a big move And I wonder if we can just keep her here And he does the chunks towards her and imagine it's this pose slightly tweaked so that it's she's here and then Leans back, you know, I mean and then could be profile that can see just you know profile view of her He does it towards her, right? That but imagine her being profile. I think that could work because that way it would be that Distracting because it doesn't really add anything to be honest She's just the man's sudden attention, but then it doesn't do anything Until this happens so you could easily just keep her here. He does it towards her and then she just moves back Like that like I say any more profile pose That's most of what I have for her It looks like about now looks like Right when she goes it It's really timed here in sync where I know she's saying it But he could easily also say it. I know he doesn't and I know the voice is hers, but He just moves exactly when she talks Looks like a bomb And I'm wondering Not sure you want to completely eliminate this I definitely look this. I love this here that he nods and I'm just wondering if you actually do we need this You can just easily easily just delay it and he does it after it And then it kind of flows into a turn nod That's why I'm wondering if we can cut it out because I don't think looks like a bomb We want to change when the knot happens It looks like a bomb trapped under a glass or or you stay like this, right? And he has lots of nervous eye darts looks like And after it he does the head turn No, not He says yeah, and then odds because right now you got nothing so imagine goes young and then nods That could be another version then see how his eyes are darting and he's he's I mean I'm exaggerating He was I'm going back and forth, but I like that. He's very Imagine it's like this. He's really checking. You just can't wait for her to say something I would have that kind of thing Right here because right now I Buy it that he looks at her and then here suddenly he spaced out looking past her I would keep that eye line lower and then when she turns goes up and turns I darts I darts follow follow follow. He just needs to know what she thinks and he is Not reacting whatsoever and after that to me feels like he's looking past her Gets a bit better here And the rest is fine I like all this and if you change the the profile thing then it will fix little moments like I mean super picky But you got a tension right there And maybe bringing out the fingers to here, maybe a bit lower It looks like a bug trapped under a glass. I googled that bug It looks like a bug trapped under a glass I googled that bug at some sort of demonic cricket that takes chunks out of your skin when provoked Lipstick seems fine. I wonder if this is too busy here out of your skin when provoked chunk When provoked that this guy here the jaw down and this this might be a bit too chattery and poppy And the chunks might be bigger in terms of jaw just because it's kind of hidden during that forward move So you might want to exaggerate it so we can read it Something about Google here I think this might be a bit too broad too once you spline this when he goes from open to close like that Like that's a big change into open and back into a close Is the word that Google used? It might be a bit too much. You might have to simplify it there But that's mainly that Yeah, definitely like the update as always all the notes are subjective and pick and choose whatever you need and That is that all right. Thanks All right, there's an email you can sign up you can start whenever you want You can submit whatever you want you get 16 submissions either way like and subscribe would be awesome. All right. Thank you

If you are looking for those extra seven to ten points to pass the exam, please visit my website. Exchange of plant asset is part of the life of a plant asset. Remember when we buy a plant asset, the first thing we have to worry about is the cost to record the asset at cost. Then we depreciate the asset, allocate the cost to period benefit. Then we account for subsequent expenditure. Then we dispose of the asset. Under disposal of the asset, we can sell it, which we already talked about selling the asset. And when we sell it, either we have a gain or a loss. And now we are going to exchange the asset. And under exchange, we might have a gain or we might have a let's talk about exchanging plant asset. Many plant assets such as machinery, automobiles, office equipment are exchanged for newer assets. So what happens is when you have an old car, an old truck, what you do rather than selling it, you go to the car dealer and you give up the old asset and it'll give you a new asset. It's an exchange. Sometimes, not sometimes, you might have to pay money for the difference, but this is how it works. In exchange, a trade in allowance is received on the old balance and the old asset and the balance in cash is paid. So you give them the old asset, then you might have to pay the difference in cash. This is an important concept I want you to understand.  So you're buying a truck for your business and the truck is $50,000. Here's what's going to happen. If the truck is $50,000, the dealer will not give you this truck unless they receive in value $50,000. So what you need to do, you need to come up with $50,000. If you gave them an old asset, an old truck, since we're talking about the truck, if you gave them an old truck worth $10,000, it means you have to come up with cash of $40,000. Why? Because if the old truck is worth $10,000 and the cash is $40,000, that's going to equalize the deal. So always remember the exchange has to equal. Remember this important economic concept. I know this is implied in any transaction, but it's very important to remember it here for accounting purposes. If you're receiving something for $50,000, you are expected to give up $50,000. So the exchange has to be equal. That's important and you will see what I mean in a moment when we work actual examples. So you have to give the old asset plus you have to pay cash. Accounting for the exchange of an asset depends on whether the transaction has commercial substance or lack commercial substance. So what is commercial substance? Commercial substance implies that the company's future cash flow will be altered. What does that mean? Well, it means if you get this new truck, remember we're exchanging an old truck with a new truck. This new truck, it's going to somehow change your cash flow, alter your cash flow, bring more cash. It's not, you're not going to be in the same position as having the old truck. The new truck will have a change to your cash flow. This is what we mean by has commercial substance. Now for educational purposes, the problem will tell you whether the exchange is commercial substance or lack of commercial substance. As far as we are concerned, we're going to be working with examples that has commercial substance. In intermediate accounting, you have to know the rules, whether it has commercial substance or no commercial substance. So commercial substance, the definition is it changes your future cash flow. So this new asset will bring you more cash flow or it's going to give you cash flow longer than the old asset. So it's going to serve you differently and in terms of differently, obviously better than the other one. So the best way to illustrate this whole concept is to work an example. So let's take a look at this example. So we're going to be working with an exchange and they're telling us right here at Salas with commercial substance. So it's going to be a commercial substance example. A company acquired a $42,000 in new equipment. So simply put, you went to the manufacturers and you purchased 42,000 worth of equipment. Do you know what you're getting? You're paying 42,000. So here's how you paid for this. Now if you have cash, you pay cash and you'll get the 42,000. That's not how it works now. In exchange, the company pays $33,000 in cash. So of this amount, you paid 33,000 and you trade an old equipment. Now immediately your old equipment must have been worth $9,000. So what we call this the fair market value of your equipment. Why? Because if you are giving them cash, if you are giving the manufacturer cash, okay, if you're giving them cash and the old asset together, they should add up to 42,000. Although they did not tell me up to this point that how much is the old equipment worth? I'm going to tell you it's worth 9,000 because the two exchange has to be equal. The old equipment has a cost of 36,000 and accumulated depreciation of 20,000. So simply put, the book value is 16 which is 36 minus 20. So you have a book value of 16. Here's what you have to do. Once you know your book value, you have to know your book value of the exchange. What is the book value? The book value, if you don't know what it is, it's the cost of the asset minus accumulated depreciation here. It's 36 minus 20. The book value is 16. Now what you have to do, you have to compare your book value. Your book value is 16. You have to compare your book value to your fair market value. You have a book value of 16 and they're giving you only 9,000 for that book value. Look, you're giving up something that's worth 16 and they're giving you only 9 value for it. It means you are at a loss of 7,000. You are at a loss of 7,000. There you go. We determined the loss. So this transaction has a loss. Now here's what you have to know. Because it has a loss and it has commercial substance, you are going to recognize the loss. Simply put, you are going to record the loss. So now we already have a loss and this exchange has commercial substance. The old equipment had a trade-in allowance of 9. I already know this. So here's what we do first. The first thing we do is we compute the loss. We already did it. We already did it so. You're getting something for 42,000. The fair market value of asset received. You are given up 33 in cash and 9 in fair market value. Simply put, what happened is you gave up, in a sense, you gave up 49,000 worth of things, 49,000 and you received 42. But you don't have to worry about this. All you have to worry about because the 33,000, when you give up 33,000, it's equal to 33,000. All you have to know is I give up something that's worth 16 and I received 9,000 for it. It means I am at a loss of 7. So all you have to do is look at the book value of the old asset and compare the book value of old to fair market value, to the fair market value. How much should they give you for that? They gave you for that. They gave you for that $7,000 less. If that's the case, you are at a loss. So you don't have to really compute the cash and the equipment and compare it to the total fair market value of the asset received. Just look at the old equipment and compare to it's what they gave you. They gave you less. You have a loss. So what journal entry do you make? Well, you have to get rid of the old equipment. You have to credit the old equipment and you have to debit accumulated depreciation. This is to get rid of the old equipment because you exchange the old equipment. Remember, the old equipment is an asset. So from a tea account perspective, I want you to always remember how the tea account works. So you have the equipment old. You have in there 36,000 and you have accumulated depreciation old and you have 20,000. So the first thing you have to do since you are exchanging, you have to credit the equipment and debit accumulated depreciation. Therefore, your equipment goes down to zero and your accumulated depreciation go down to zero. So you get rid of the old equipment, get rid of its accumulated depreciation. You paid $33,000 in cash, record the cash. That's easy. Now, we recorded 7,000 in a loss. Again, we computed the loss on the previous slide. The loss is a debit as we saw when we sell an asset. You record the loss of 7,000. Now, how much do you record the new asset? You record the new asset based on the fair value of what you gave up. Well, what did you give up? You gave up two things. You gave up $33,000 in cash. Let me put this in red. You gave up $33,000 in cash and an asset that's worth $9,000. That's what you gave up. So you gave up $42,000. Your new asset is recorded at $42,000. Your new asset is recorded at $42,000. So this is booking an exchange with commercial substance at a loss. Now, let's change the scenario. Let's change the scenario exactly the same thing, exactly the same company, except we paid $23,000 in cash. So forget about this here. Okay. Now, here's the same concept. We went to the store. We saw something for $42,000. Here's what we did. We paid $23,000 in cash plus old asset. Well, the old asset must have been worth $19,000 because the store, the manufacturer, those two together equal to $42,000. The dealer will not let you walk away with the asset unless you pay them $42,000. You only paid $23,000 in cash. Well, the old asset, this old asset must have now been worth $19,000. Let's stop right here. You have an asset with a book value of $16,000. They gave you $19,000 for it, fair market value $19,000. So the book value is less than the fair value. You are at a gain of $3,000. You have a gain of $3,000. You have a gain of $3,000. That's what happened. You have a gain of $3,000. Notice here you have a gain. It has a commercial substance. Now the scenario is you have a gain, not a loss. Now let's look at the journal entry. Let's look at the journal entry to see how we will book this gain. Why did we have a gain once again? Because they gave us $19,000 for an asset that's worth only $16,000 on our books. Again, we need to get rid of the old asset. We need to get rid of its accumulated depreciation. Just like in the previous thing, we have to get rid of the old asset first. We paid cash $23,000. We paid cash. Then we booked the gain. The gain has a credit of $3,000. Then we have to debit the new equipment for $42,000. Simply put, this equipment is $23,000 cash plus $19,000 of the old asset together. We paid $42,000. Now the only thing you have to know is if this transaction, which you may or may not have to know this, but if this transaction lacks commercial substance, if this transaction lacks commercial substance, it doesn't have commercial substance. What would be different? Well, for the loss, we don't have to do anything. For the loss, it does not make a difference. If this transaction lacks commercial substance, all what you have to do, you cannot book the gain. So you have to take the gain out. If you take the gain out, then you have to take $3,000 from the equipment. So the equipment will be recorded at $39,000. When you take the gain out and you reduce the equipment, we call this process deferring the gain. We call this process deferring the gain. Once again, as a financial accounting student, you don't have to worry about this process. But if you're intermediate accounting, I do have the recording. You can go to my intermediate accounting course to learn about this topic that gives students a lot of issues, because it's a little bit more involved than what we just covered. But anyhow, as always, I would like to remind you, if you like this recording, please like it, share it, put it in the playlist, subscribe, subscribe, and visit my website. If you're looking to supplement your accounting education, study hard and please stay safe during those coronavirus outbreak. Good luck.


Alright, betters, now that we've covered the money line, it's time to cover the spread. The spread, also known as the line, is used to even up the odds between two unevenly matched teams. For example, in this WNBA game here you see that Chicago Sky are the underdogs at plus 250 on the money line and Connecticut Sun is minus 325 as the favorite. If you place a $100 wager on Connecticut's Sun money line, you could only potentially win back $30. So this is where the spread comes into play. You can bet on their spread for them to win by 8 points or more at minus 104 odds. Or if you like the Chicago Sky but you're not 100% confident in their money line, you can bet for them to lose by 7 points or less. And if they win outright, all the better. Just a fun fact, the reasoning for the half number in a lot of spread and total betting is just to eliminate the possibility of a void or a push.


These proud Vietnam veterans from the Central Flint Hills region and around the country finally received the homecoming welcome they deserve November 6th at Marshall Army Airfield on Fort Riley. The post held a special ceremony as part of the nationwide 50th anniversary commemoration of the Vietnam War. Fifty years ago, our nation did not express gratitude to these veterans in words or deeds. Our community, both military and civilian, has come out today. We are here today to show their gratitude for your service to our nation that somebody did not understand the sacrifices that you made. America's ground war in Vietnam began in March of 1965. By war's end, more than 10 years later, nearly 3 million Americans had deployed and more than 58,000 lost their lives. The official Vietnam War 50th anniversary commemoration is being observed this year Related welcome home ceremonies are being held to give these veterans the honor and respect most did not receive upon their return from Vietnam all those years ago. They really, they really didn't like us. They really didn't like us. They didn't spit or anything, but you knew you were, it was like they knew we killed babies. And of course we didn't. We avoided it obviously. But it was a very uncomfortable and unpleasant feeling and there was nobody there at all to say welcome home. Not a soul, not my local VFW, not my town, not my church, not my friends, but it was a feeling of emptiness. For 40 years, 40 years it's been one trauma situation after another, one anger management situation after another and not knowing why. When I came home from Vietnam, I left out of Cameron Bay and flew to Yokota, Japan. And within 24 hours, you know, I was at Fort Lewis dressed in dress screens and had a plane ticket to go home, flew to Kansas City, Missouri. And my family was there to greet me and there were a lot of other people there to greet us that were not so happy to see us. It was ugly. It was not fun. And it was real rude. No, we didn't know that back home that there was so much chaos and so much animosity and so many hard feelings and so much anti-military. I mean, I was drafted in 69. I was one of those guys that, you know, didn't really have a choice, but I did what my country asked me to do. And I can see it today. I can remember it easily. And it was like, what? Are you kidding me? Why? What did I do wrong? For some of these men and women, the scars from that experience have not healed. In ceremonies like this being held in communities across the country, Vietnam vets are finally receiving the simple thank you they did not hear when they first came home. And Americans at Fort Riley and everywhere else are getting the chance to show their gratitude to these vets for their service, valor and sacrifice. We show by our deeds today and we deeply appreciate your service. And we want to make sure that you get the homecoming that you deserved. When I heard this event was going to occur, I figured this is the cap. This is the final, I'm home. And it feels that way. It does. Just coming on post felt that way. For me, when I saw that they were going to do it, it was a good, easy decision. I said, yep, I'm going. I want to see some people maybe that I haven't seen for a long time, meet some people that I've never met before. And the recognition of our service and what we did, even though it's taking a long time, is okay. And I believe that, you know, the way the Vietnam veterans generation was treated, nationally and in an ugly way, if we're the only generation of veterans that's ever treated that way, put it on our shoulders, we can take it, it's okay, it's over, it's done. And I'm very, very happy that they treat all of the younger veterans, generations behind us, with the way that they do now. That's good. To the veterans of Vietnam, a grateful nation says, welcome home. It was a long time coming. Reporting from Fort Riley, I'm Scott Rowe.


I'm gonna tell you an honest little story. Okay, so what'd you do? So almost 30 years ago, I rewired a whole house, right? I didn't do it with a permit, I'm just being honest. I'm shaking my head. Back then, a lot of contractors didn't do it with permits. But I mean, I knew electrical because my dad taught me. I rewired the whole house. An electrical inspector knocked on the front door and he said, well, you didn't pull a permit and I'm gonna go through this entire house with a fine tooth comb. And if you've done anything wrong, Mr. Holmes, you're gonna be in trouble. The inspector went through the entire house. He said, this is some of the neatest work I have ever seen. Why aren't you a licensed electrician? I said, I'm a general contractor. I can do plumbing, I can do electrical, I can build the house, I can design the house. Do I have to become an electrician? And he said, to be honest, no, but you need to pull a permit. I pulled the permit, everything passed in the long run, grew a great relationship with the system of what I need to do.


A man convicted of robbing the First National Bank of Deerwoods Garrison Branch back in 2007 has escaped from custody. A warrant has been issued for the arrest of 49-year-old James Richard Ardido. Ardido was scheduled for supervised release, but escaped from custody on Tuesday in Minneapolis. This is a booking photo from 2010. The Kerrowing County Sheriff's Office says Ardido is known to abuse drugs, and anyone with any information about him should contact local authorities.

This is the new itsy-bitsy ESP32. I designed this board in 2020. So this is one of those boards that's like, oh part shorted is over. Let's like try to get back to it. So we just got these assembled and they're double-sided. They've got the USB serial converter on this side. ESP module with eight megabytes of flash, two megabytes of PS1 on the top. Plug it into the tester and then we're using a Pico using USB to serial to do the programming. Let's give it a second. And it flashes the file. You can see on the computer it's flashing it over USB to serial. So it's doing USB host to the WCH9102 chip to program the ESP32. And then in a few seconds it's going to finish the test. And then you'll see the test complete. 34, 35, 36. Okay. So now it's going to test all the pins. Oh, and this one is not passing. Okay. Then it's fine. You just have to hold it down 31 seconds later. And then the support is done being tested. And then when you reset it, it does a little nice rainbow glow. So this has passed test and we'll be able to get it to the store real soon. All right. And then you're making Swiss up. Okay. So we've checked about the desk of Lady Eda, this TCRT-1000 optical reflective sensor. That's the right angle. That's right.  And then this has a petriometer. You can change the current going through the sensor. I know. And then, you know, I was thinking because I just did this Neo RGB, maybe folks want to like, you know, just make something Neo pixel, like a single LED that doesn't need the high current past transistors. So I made a breakout for this WS2811F chip. It's like basically like a Neo pixel on a chip. You can connect any LED you like. And I made a little boardboard. Friendly friend. Right. That's top secret, really. Yeah, it's top secret. Okay.


I have this idea that all of Isaac Asimov's books contain the same lesson that knowledge is a virtue for its own sake.  Morality is a touchy subject. If you ask a group of people about what sorts of things are right or wrong, you won't just get a number of interesting and varied answers. You might start an argument, possibly an angry one. We care deeply about the morality of our actions, and those values fuel a lot of what we do, who we vote for, what sort of things we buy, what media we consume, even what time we get up on weekends. People don't usually reason these decisions through using rigorously defined systems of ethics to evaluate their moral weight, most of the time we're shooting from the hip. We see something and have an immediate emotional reaction to its seeming goodness or badness. But where do those impulses ultimately come from? In more cerebral scenarios, people frequently draw on different ideologies to determine right and wrong. An orthodox Jew and a Wiccan would probably have different conceptual frameworks in place when deciding the morality of eating bacon. We expect this sort of discrepancy in plenty of cases, but there are also a number of instinctive moral intuitions that seem to span all cultures and ideologies. Regardless of what time period or continent you find a human society in, you'll also find some pressure in that society towards fairness and moral outrage at favoritism or discrimination. The categories of what sort of people should be treated as equals obviously varies quite a bit, but the sentiment is always the same. Fairness feels right, unfairness feels wrong. You'll find similar attitudes towards unjustified harm, respect for authority, and numerous other things. The seeming universality of these moral judgments suggests that there's something more going on than some sort of cultural convergence. Like all cultures across the entirety of human history just happen to agree that needless suffering is bad. It implies some sort of basis, a principle or set of principles that drive individuals and societies with wildly different histories and traditions to the same instinctive moral reactions. If you're crafting some sort of theory about the origin of these ubiquitous and homogenous feelings about morality, there's probably a necessary element of just so story about such an explanation as with all evolutionary psychology. We don't really have the luxury of jumping in a time machine and grabbing some early hominids as a control group. All we can do is come up with some story that sounds plausible, make sure it agrees with existing evidence, and hope that it agrees with what we find moving forward. Moral foundations theory, or MFT, is just such a story, formulated in 2004 by social psychology researchers Jonathan Haidt and Craig Joseph. Building on previous research, they suggested that all of our instinctive moral responses could be classified under a handful of categories, or moral foundations, each of which could be argued to have arisen due to some practical utility for maintaining a functional society. For example, we probably share revulsion at the idea of some privileged little scumbag getting away with everything just because their dad happens to be friends with the local police chief. According to Haidt and Joseph, this reaction of disgust can be chalked up to the intuitive moral foundation of fairness slash cheating, a knee-jerk mechanism of revulsion that triggers when we see people who think the rules don't apply to them. As you might imagine, valuing equal treatment and justice could very well give social animals an edge in certain situations where cooperation is helpful but risky. The idea is that humans have this visceral moralistic reaction because it was evolutionarily advantageous. Because our genetic ancestors who instinctively pummeled those who didn't play fair did better than ones who were like, huh, that guy took two bananas. Oh well, Haidt and others have revised and expanded moral foundations theory since the first paper on the subject, proposing new foundations, like liberty, and suggesting a number of potential applications and implications of the theory in many different fields, from abnormal psychology to environmental ethics. His bestselling book, The Righteous Mind, famously makes the case that the traditional divides that we see in politics between the right and the left can be chalked up to a set of unconscious moral frameworks which apply different moral weight to different foundations, like leftists care more about harm and justice, right-wing folk care more about purity and authority. Although the theory has been massively influential in academia and popular culture, a fair number of criticisms have been leveled at it, and they're probably cause for generous dollop of skepticism. For example, some have questioned MFT's implicit assumption of modularity, the idea that we can divide mental phenomena as complex as intuitive moral responses into neat little mechanisms, each activated by just one type of scenario and explained by a single evolutionary need. Neuroscience data gathered after the publication of the original paper seemed to contradict this assumption, revealing a tangled web of interdependencies that seemingly can't be boiled down to five or six distinct foundations, at least not without a lot of hand-waving and squinting. Speaking of which, another of the main critiques of moral foundation theory is its lack of rigorous theoretical justification. The supposedly essential foundations that dictate all human feelings of right and wrong, and as some have argued, all social and political discourse, are kind of pulled out of thin air. Height and Joseph have even published responses to arguments that MFT is distinctly lacking in the T department with a sort of, yeah, duh, freely acknowledging that the categories they invented are almost totally arbitrary, based on nothing but a handful of previously published papers and the author's whims. To their credit, they have invited others to revise the original foundations with new ideas to aid the MFT research effort by proposing and testing new categories, but there's an air of unfalsifiability about the whole endeavor.  If the categories don't fully characterize everyone's intuition about morality, then we just have the wrong categories and need to come up with new ones. Maybe that's par for the course for evolutionary psychology, but it does make grand pronouncements about how the theory explains anything seem a little overblown. And perhaps most damningly, although the five-factor model proposed by the MFT appears to offer a useful taxonomy of moral intuitions in many populations, it doesn't seem to work everywhere. A 2018 study found that the standard questionnaire used for the MFT's framework failed to meet the cutoff for significance when people from significantly different cultural backgrounds were tested. If these categories really are evolutionarily coded the way that Heighton-Joseph suggests, there shouldn't be any issues replicating their findings in any human population. But if you get far enough away from McDonald's eating society, the MFT doesn't predict anything consistently anymore. Still, the idea that the moral similarities we see across cultures are due to evolutionary instincts designed to encourage the survival of the species is a compelling and intuitive one, and many people seem keen to use it as justification for their own ideas about society and ethics. In the wake of MFT, several other evolutionary models have been proposed to explain these seemingly universal moral intuitions. Morality as cooperation, or MAC theory, suggests that all moral impulses can be explained as facilitating cooperation in zero-sum game-theoretic situations, that all of those instincts about right and wrong only exist to make us very good at playing the iterated prisoner's dilemma. Relationship regulation theory posits that moral judgments are always made in the context of some social affiliation, designed to grant advantage to one's in-group and facilitate beneficial social interactions. The theory of dyadic morality, or TDM, boils the entirety of moral judgment down to the perception of harm, the dyad in question being some perpetrator and some victim. According to TDM, you don't need five or six foundations to explain moral intuitions, you just have to figure out how people perceive that dyad. Who is harming whom? Each of these models makes interesting predictions about human psychology, incites some sort of experimental evidence in support of their claims, but they all have something else in common too. In each of their founding papers, they all cite the moral foundations theory and its numerous problems to argue that their model is better. Considering all of the problems, ethically that might be okay, but the dog piling? It just doesn't feel right. What do you think of the idea of evolutionarily determined moral intuitions?

Everyone likes to be heard. There is nothing wrong with wanting people to know your opinions or how you feel. However, expressing yourself can be problematic when it becomes excessive. But then again, how do you know when you are speaking too much? In this video, I will show you 9 signs you talk too much. 1.  Do you have a unique experience to share for every conversation you are involved in? Then, you probably talk too much. People who talk too much will always find a way to talk about their personal life no matter the conversation they are involved in. Being able to relate your issues with your team members may sound like you are part of a team that you could spend time with out of the office and that is something you should be excited about. However, if you are always using personal examples to illustrate every thought during a meeting, you are making it way too easy to get off topic and you are probably over sharing. 2. You start debates that aren't relevant to the conversation. Have you ever been in a situation where you and your other team members are trying to sort through the details of a tree kit project only to have someone derail the conversation by completely changing the subject? How frustrating it can be. Although, you probably have good intentions with your arguments and usually are not trying to bring up a new topic entirely. It is a time wister, primarily if it occurs in the middle of something significant. Thanks to your talkative nature, your team will now be likely to have two unresult issues to get through in a limited amount of time. 3. Everyone near you wears earbuds when you are talking. Each time Jill steps into the room, everyone reaches for their headphones. Jill has noticed and is wondering why it is so. What do you think? Well, if everyone in the room has earbuds stuffed into their ears whenever you are tempted to join in the conversation or if they quickly jam them into their ears upon your approach, it is a massive pointer that you are trying to avoid you and your many talks. This attitude is one of the most apparent red lights you get if you talk too much. Entrepreneur.com advises avoiding being on the receiving end of embarrassing passive-aggressive blow-offs like this in your workplace. Shed your time to talk about specific work-related topics with your co-workers as needed and stay on topic. Save the small talk for the break room where you have limited time and be the last to talk. Continually practicing this would make you less of a talkative in no time. 4. You do most of the talking. If you find that you initiate conversations with your people most of the time and you dominate most of the cheat chats you start, chances are you talk too much. If you don't realize it, you're not alone. According to Annie Stevens, managing partner at ClearRock, a Boston-based executive coaching firm, most people aren't aware that they talk too much. Thus, Annie coined out a wise motto for workplace communication which states thus, be brief, be brilliant and be gone. Instead of always starting conversations, wait for others to kick up discussions with you from time to time and practice biting your tongue while others talk. While the first would be easy to practice, the latter is usually a difficult task for verbal vomitors. 5. People look at their phones when you talk. Although it is a bad habit that a lot of us have these days, if someone keeps checking their phone during your conversation, they might be trying to end the conversation. If a person glazes over and looks like they would rather be anywhere but here listening to you ramble, it is because you are probably talking too much and they actually would prefer to use their phone at the moment. If you were smart enough, you will take their dismissive body language as a hand and zip your lip. Bear in mind that when people get fed up to the extent of focusing their gaze on their phone, they are not getting the message you are passing to them, one bit. Thus, if you need to tell them something urgent, dismiss the meeting and send the information to them through other means like email, social media, etc. 6. You can't answer a question in a sentence or two.  The truth is that this attitude is annoying. That question is a straightforward answer so there is no need for all the explanations you are giving. Before answering any question, endeavor to get a full grasp of it and then seek for the most concise answer available.  If the person who asks you the question has a follow-up question, then feel free to add your answer. Else, keep. Don't go any further. Using too many words to answer a simple question does not make you smart. It complicates the question you are asked, may confuse the person who asked the question and make you look stupid, generally. Like on learning any unwanted habitual behavior, it takes time, impulse control, practice, and plenty of it. 7. You can't stand to be alone. Are you or have you met someone who is never comfortable being alone? Like, they always want to hang out with people and if they can't find anyone to hang out with, they feel sad and lonely. People who talk too much do not understand that there is a lot to lose by always being around people. Research has shown that without someone to talk to, your mind has a chance to wonder. This is where deep critical thinking and creativity begins. Hence, it is much beneficial to embrace the silence in the room rather than shy away from it. There is much to be learned from your introverted counterparts in their ability to make even the noisiest of environments as quiet as the back corner of a library. Extroversion is a beautiful trait, but the introverts are getting something out of life that you're missing. 8. You find it hard to restrain yourself from talking. As a founding father of jazz, Puffy-chicked trumpeter D.Z. Gallipsey was well known for the notes emanating from his instruments. Yet, legends have it that D.Z. attributes much of his musical greatness to just the opposite of many songs. He says, it has taken me all my life to learn what not to play, whether it's music, a board meeting, or an argument with a significant other. Life requires a tremendous amount of oratory restraint. Unfortunately, people who talk too much find it extremely difficult to keep shot when they need to. However, if you think before you speak, you will realize that you do not need to get involved in every conversation. As an old saying goes, silence is often the best thing our mouths can emanate. 9. People feel exhausted after conversations with you. Do people sometimes roll their eyes when you start to talk, or maybe tap their food impatiently? Do people begin to face out, looking blank or distracted when you begin to elaborate on something? Do people nod their heads and throw out irrelevant yes and aha's without wanting you to elaborate any further? Or worse, do people sometimes ignore you completely when you get on a verbal roll, turn the other way and start a conversation with the next person? An ultimate sign is a straightforward one. The other person may say something as simple as, you talk too much and move away. All of this provides some good indicators of whether you're tedious or frustrating people by talking too much. When people give you any of these attitudes or related ones when you speak, it means that they are tired of your talks. If signs like this are consistent factors in your conversations, you're talking too much. While being vocal is not wrong, studies show that people who talk too much hurt their careers with that singular attitude. The best way to leave is to apply the rule. Let's talk more action.


I do second week of summer Maybe I don't think so what about what about Zach Zach won a lot of tickets big wheel Are you gonna put up the Gator pick Jake you tell me about the sports James? We're doing something near and dear to our heart. Oh these guys only talk about the Yankees 84 year old you heard that right 84 year old broadcaster John Surley. Thank you top nine two outs game on the line foul ball It hits him in the booth and he has an all-time reaction and then being the professionally is He gets back in for the next pitch and finishes the game knocks his glasses off his face His partner in the booth Susan Waldman in the ninth inning She goes down to the field to prep for the interview with the player So he's solo. No one can take over the mic. He clocks the ball and he sees that's above my head That's foul ball. He doesn't know what's gonna come back land in front of him bounce hit him in the head and he lets out Three great ow It really hit me I Just in so envies of people listening on the radio Yeah, didn't have the visual or know what was happening or real and just driving alone in their car Wait, what did he just get hit by at the ball? There's no way Yeah, 84 picture getting hit with something and then multiply it 84 times. That's basically what that is. That's age math Yeah, if this was my grandpa, I'd be nervous age math You're gonna put that on the screen age math Jim This almost a breakdown is sporty in and of itself Adam had wins that you pronounce his last name Adam had win Which is kind of a tough last name had win past tense that translates to lost Adam lost blew it He's trying to celebrate the victory Nick Taylor achieved at the Canadian Canadian open So we've got a couple canucks here. This is the Canadian tour event Canadian hasn't won it since 1954 And so these are a pair of Canadians. So he comes out to celebrate his buddy 72 foot putt. Yeah Oh, it's pretty cool. The whole thing is pretty cool except Adam had when getting deck, which is actually really cool. I'm fine with yeah, you want the security to be tight You don't want random people running on the Green spraying you a champagne. You got to let the security guy know it was one of those beautiful online moments Where for the first the clip comes out an instance like oh my god This guy gets popped which our society will always love and then everyone's like I think that's golfer Adam had win Who just got rocked and it was so that was it was kind of a beautiful thing That's the problem when you have the public and the fans dressing the same as the players You know if everybody at a baseball game showed up in full uniform and then storm the field it'd be a lot More confusing for security don't give the people ideas as a golf fan Stop dressing like you're playing Dan Rourke full uni. How do I look back to the sports the more sports more of the sports more sports Is the segment? Oh DraftKings does more sports. They do a lot of stuff would be a pretty good DraftKings does more sports Mmm-hmm Jim we had a couple pitchers empty the tank. We're deep in college baseball season The Canadian stuff was last story Jake. We're going to your Johnny Hopkins and my Stanford because we had two pitchers throw over a buck 55 to help their teams advance It's a lot of pitches and and Keith Law who describes himself as the fun Ruinner or something like that on Twitter he tweeted out like no pitcher has thrown more than 150 pitches in the game this century because it's bad For arms and was kind of like poo-pooing and the pitcher himself Gabriel Romano he responded and said it's the last game on my baseball career Of my fifth-year grad student.  I shouldn't be comparing these guys to Randy Johnson But there's a series like Randy Johnson for a month or 140 pitches a game So like and he kind of played healthy So we don't have all the like actual throwing science figured out Add for Randy Johnson throwing science throwing science You have an animal story you put in here for the not sports I do because my wife Katelyn is terrified of this specific thing happening And I'm like, I don't think it happens that often that starts with the guy on the boat the captain I'm guessing his name Radioing to cap the heavens of whoever listens to the guys on the boat and he says we're under orchard tech We're under orca attack and yeah orcas in this one area are just attacking boats like crazy It's like it was like a 100 a year in 2021 200 a year in 2022 And we're already past that this year and they have tracked it I think it's this one group of 20 to 30 Iberian orcas and they're just breaking the rudder off the boat and attacking the boat And now there's three theories of why this might be happening one is the classic Ghosts tale one of their orcas got injured by a rudder of a boat and they're Avenging her the second is that they really like the peaceful waters during coven and quarantine and want it to go back to that Yeah And the third is They're just bored and having some fun and this is a new game right which one do you like the most I'm option four. That's a combination of two and three. You're out on the revenge. Yeah, they don't Well, it's kayaker that close scary. That's my nightmare It's the employee of the week. It's the employee of this week My vote was no, uh, but I don't know. Uh, he turned around his academics recently. So I'm really proud of him. Is that true? Yeah Called joes. Is it true that no, uh turned around his academics? How did it happen? I mean, I'm actually pretty surprised He turned it around the greatest comeback I've ever seen. Did you promise him like an xbox or something?  They're about to ride out the same bike No way they would hate that. That's that's why it's funny. Well, Noah got employee of the week for his turnaround. Yes Record a video of you telling him. Yeah, there you have it.  I'm just happy Nice. So they put a picture up of you in the office And you got employee of the week because you made the biggest comeback in school of all time, Noah Happy excited and what are you gonna tell jake and john boy? Because he gave you employee of the week Thanks. Oh, yeah, that's that's kind of a sweet video
