Good afternoon everyone I am Sandy Axman the learning services supervisor with Grand Yellowhead Public School Division and I'd like to introduce members of my team. I have Sandra Davenport here who is our half-time Cree language teacher and Renee Fair who is our Grand Cache Indigenous Relations facilitator and without these two ladies we also have one more lady who unfortunately could not be here this afternoon as her dad is very ill right now but without this team of people and without the support of system leaders like Albert Education and and those people know who they are and and without our former assistant superintendent who is in the room and our present admin team as well we cannot do the work that we do so first of all I'd like to thank everybody for that as you've heard this afternoon our presentations have been about building relationships and that to me if I had to give you one golden nugget to take out of the room it is that key piece right there it's how do you go about building relationships with people at all levels so that when you need something because we don't have all the answers but when I need something I can turn to Albert Education or I can turn to my supervisors or I can turn to my team and say we need this how do we get it and somebody will come up with a way to find it for us and we work together and we include our community and so it with all those pieces we constantly build and scaffold and interweave every part of what we do with learning services I have curriculum health and wellness indigenous relations and dual credit and all of those pieces interweave to make a stronger fabric for our students we give opportunities to our students with dual credit by partnering with Grand Prairie Regional College in order to be able to offer dual credit opportunities for Cree language for native studies so that the things that we can't provide ourselves we now have a partnership to be able to offer those things for students who who wish to to access them we give a light at the end of the tunnel so that students can see that there is a way to transition not just from K to 12 but out into the world of work into post secondary to trade or whatever their heart desires we have success for all students as our key piece all students will be successful and how do we do that one student at a time building relationships so I would like to just advance here if these are some of our main programs it's not all of our programs but I would like Sandra to talk about her Cree language and then I'd like Renee to talk about how she supports students in her area I'm Sandra Davenport I'm originally from Isle across Saskatchewan but I've been living in Edson now for the past 15 years and for all those years I've had the opportunity to teach Cree language I teach Cree language through video conference predominantly from Wildwood into Grand Cache and the majority of the students that I teach Cree to are in Grand Cache so Renee is also my my partner in crime I wouldn't be able to do the jobs that I that I do without her help so thank you very much Renee I'm sure that you've heard in in the sessions that you've gone how important language language is doing other cultural components is very important as well but the language is the culture in in in my professional opinion you can't separate either one the culture is what grounds you it helps you figure out who you are where you come from and what you have to offer the students that I teach to are not just First Nations Métis or Inuit students but a lot of them are non-indigenous students and we were just actually talking about that at the table earlier Sandy asked me what what the percentage was and and I told her that the majority of the students that I teach are probably more indigent non-indigenous than they are indigenous and that they're the ones who are picking up the language a lot quicker for whatever reason that's that's that's not important what's important is that we have a variety of students who want to come and learn about each other so that we're able to to to empathize with one another and and learn from each other and walk this journey together because as we all know we're all we're all on this trek together so thank you very much my name is Renee and I live in Greencash and I've been there so long that I'm not telling you how long because I feel like I've been there forever I was on Zakiya Sandra to grow up with all of my cultural teachings I am Métis but my mom didn't have that connection so one of the things my students can bring to me is that cultural connection and that's really exciting because it gives them something to share with me and I think that's the really great start about relationship building being in a small town population 4,500 we have about 325 indigenous families people living around the area and transportation is huge huge obstacle for us because there's just there's just not a way to get places so opportunity is a big thing we need to build and if it's not there you need to make it so one of the things we do in Greencash is if we can't find it we invented I run a baseball team I've started a community race I had a high school student who in really crappy shoes could get to quick to school really quick if he missed the bus I put him in a race and boy can that boy run you know it's finding all those things that makes connections and you know his family sat and watched him run and she said I saw this at school when he was late I didn't think it would get him anywhere and that's what we need to do we need to build opportunities we need to take that time and listen and I think that's one of the hardest parts that teachers have is they don't always have the time and I'm very lucky to be our indigenous liaison so I can listen I can hear those stories and find out what those kids need because often it is those opportunities you know it is as simple as we said in the session before we talked about some of the wonderful EAs that were up north and doing health kits and picking people up and cover your ears sandy sometimes making home visits when you're not supposed to like the high school kid who skipped class and I drove out to Suza Creek and knocked on the door and said hey I missed you I thought he was gonna die but you know what he was like you missed me well we saw you we needed you you're part of our school community you matter and without you it's just not the same and those are the things we need to continue doing thank you if you take a look at some of our other connections I sit on the Edson Friendship Centerboard as a member and in return the director sits on our elder council so it's a reciprocal relationship it's not us saying we need you we need you we need you with our handout all the time but it is us helping each other in order to grow and to develop with the lady who could not be here she started a legends room in the high school in Edson and it has made such a huge difference to that school that school has suffered a lot of traumatic incidents over the last couple of years they've lost six student members and staff in different ways tragically and that whole community has come together to grieve and to support each other and the legends room is getting students back in the door students that we didn't see for quite some time in Parkland school and so we are able to now have them come back in but they reached out in unique ways some of them made homemade jam and gave to the bus driver to give to the family to say we miss you will you come back to school and the support that that room and that person has given the students that are in there they're attending more regularly they're passing their courses which is huge and they want to be there now and that will take time and it will grow and develop as we try things and and not everything we do works out well but along the way we grow and learn together and again about building the relationships we have an elder program and we're we're constantly looking to connect with different elders in the community because the one thing about an elder program is that not everybody feels well on the day you need them and we have to respect that but we are building the connections so that we can have our elders in our schools for our graduation ceremonies for our Eagle Feather ceremony for the things that we deem important and the kids deem important we collect student voice through health and wellness initiatives and through partnering and that way we can find out what is it that the students need next so they guide where we go we have we're fortunate enough to have the Palisades program where students can go out to Jasper Palisades and experience land-based education and that's important we have to make it more engaging for our students we partner with ERLC and thank you so much for that because you help us host 50 teachers every year to come out to the Palisades and the picture at the bottom of the slide there shows our group photo from our last teacher camp and we're able to learn from each other and make connections so that we have a resource group that we can ask for help when we need it we our latest our latest partnership is with Mother Earth Charter School our Wildwood School has partnered with their grade grade 3-4 class in order to have students make connections in other areas so although we we don't have any on reserve sites within our jurisdiction we have neighboring partners who are more than willing to reach out and connect with us so I think on the final note the the best like I said advice that I can give you is to reach out and form those partnerships they don't happen overnight I've been in the position for five years now and it has taken that long just to get what I think is a foot in the door so that I can have a list of contact people I've reached out to Edmonton Public and and I've reached out to all sorts of different jurisdictions in order to help us grow and develop and everything that the schools who presented this afternoon I've taken nuggets back and the next thing I want to know is how do we get a smudge so everybody helps move each other along and I think if we make those connections and reach out to each other and share what we're doing I think we will all be supported so thank you well I think you're getting a sampling of why these three programs were chosen by Albert education to be honored and we've seen examples for the younger students high school and a whole division wide approach one of the other schools recognized was from Grand Prairie and it was an elementary school and so I want to show you where you can find some of these resources and tools that you can use to discuss back with your own staffs and schools hopefully you're well aware of the empowering the spirit website that we have at ELC it's designed to house materials that are carefully aligned to support Alberta schools and support Alberta education priorities we have things from how to host a family night to information on the literacy seed kit to some newer things on the grandfather teachings every time I turn around something new is being added to the site so I hope you're well familiar with the site if you go its address is simply empowering the spirit.ca and along the tabs there you will find a professional learning resources tab and from there you can scroll down and find eliminating the achievement gap and what you'll find when you get to that page is double sided learning guides as we call them describing these exact context that you've just heard from today and so you'll find the learning guides that have a highlight of what those people have been up to to make a difference for those learners and there's some discussion questions on the back and we think those are particularly powerful to go back and sit with staff and and share back at learning days and and staff meetings and district meetings so we're hoping those learning guides are a useful tool for you to take those lessons back and say okay what can we learn from Grand Yellowhead what can we learn from East Glen what can we learn from Lake Del so we hope those are helpful to you and of course their PDFs you can download them the other piece I want to share with you is a Google Slides presentation that we created it can take as little as long as you want about an hour or you can fill a half day with long discussions but there's an actual full set of slides with background context data stats what percentage of our learners are First Nations Mets Union and Alberta what is the actual achievement gap we went and found the accountability pillar results so you could truly see the data and what the gap is so there's I can't remember how many slides like 50 slides it's quite an extensive presentation and so I invite you to find that presentation on our Empowering the Spirit page and if you carefully open it you will find all the presenter notes in the below the screen part right so you will have access to our thinking and why we put that presentation together you can make a copy and edit it and use it any way you wish so it's just a tool for your toolbox so we hope it's helpful is there anything else I'm missing I think that's the gist and I've linked directly to that page another tool that we've been working with and some of you may have seen our padlets we're using these more as sort of on the fly as we find resources websites materials how to host a blanket exercise all sorts of things we're finding out in the big broad world as everyone's on this journey together we've been posting on our padlet those are more informal resources not ones that we've crafted professionally but there's so many valuable resources so I've left that link there for you and it's constantly in evolution from foundational knowledge to Metis to the new one they're working on is some reconciliation pieces residential schools there I think you're you're probably discovering there's a wealth of resources to the point now where it's hard to know where to go and what to sift through so I want to close and just thank everyone for putting the time in and staying with us this afternoon and I think that the message has been loud and clear from all three of our our groups otherwise I thank you for your time and I wish everyone a safe trip or journey or whatever you're up to


Magnificent men in their flying machines. They go up to the up-up, they go down to the up-down. They encounter all the ladies and steal the scene. Well, they're up to the up-up, and they're down to the up-down. Up, down, lying around, looking on the roof and defying the ground. They're all rightfully tingles. Magnificent men in their flying machines. They can fly upside down with their feet in the air. This is the Air Force's largest aeroballistic range, located at AFSC's Arnold Engineering Development Center. The launcher can use interchangeable barrels to fire projectiles down the 1,000-foot range at speeds up to 13,000 miles per hour. This blast chamber contains the test environment. An explosive charge forces a piston to compress hydrogen gas rupturing a diaphragm behind the test article. The expanding gas drives the test article through the test section on four guide rails. A new feature is a 500-foot recovery compression tube outside the range, which stops the article without damage. At the launcher section, a test projectile is readied for firing. The material to be tested is mounted on the tip of the carrier. The tube on which the test article is mounted contains the diaphragm. The launcher section is the breach of a modified 18-inch naval rifle. This lead-weighted polyethylene piston weighs from 100 to 150 pounds. Driven by a charge of standard gunpowder, the piston compresses the hydrogen gas. The combined weight of the piston and the charge of standard gunpowder determines the speed of the projectile through the blast chamber's test section. Inside the range, air pressure can be varied to simulate altitude from sea level to more than 300,000 feet. The photographs are made with a 20 billionths of a second burst of laser light as the projectile passes through rain, dust clouds, or other environments. Before the addition of the recovery compression tube, projectiles were photographed in free flight. Ultra slow-motion films such as this record events in the test section. The range can be operated with or without the guide rails. With the recovery feature, engineers now have the photos and the projectile intact for post-test examination. After a test, a guide rail is removed and the projectile recovered. The mechanical problems of stopping a projectile intact are something like stopping a small car going 60 miles per hour in an eighth of an inch without scratching the paint. Some projectiles have been launched up to three times in the first test program sponsored by AFSC's Space and Missile Systems Organization. This test range is a valuable tool in ballistic missile research. Safe delivery of munitions by modern military aircraft is a potential problem area. As speeds increase in the next generation of aircraft, there is a greater need for free flight tests of both aircraft and munitions. At AFSC's Arnold Engineering Development Center, the four-foot transonic wind tunnel is one of our nation's most specialized facilities for studying these new aircraft and the munitions they deliver. Wind tunnel studies reduce both cost and risk in weapon system development. During its first ten years of operation, the four-foot transonic wind tunnel was used to study hundreds of aircraft payload combinations in model form. Information gathered answers questions such as, how will the aircraft behave with various combinations of stores or payloads? When released, how will both payload and aircraft react? A computerized system senses the forces involved to predict the payload's path after release. The computer processes the data gathered and controls the support system. It can present selected data on a display in the control room as engineers observe the test on closed circuit TV. Studies in the four-foot transonic wind tunnel have saved many millions of dollars, 14 million in the A7 program alone. As the cost of new weapon systems increases, the savings to the taxpayers of our nation could be greater in the next decade than in the last. The basic pea shooter consists of a launch tube and a pea, or projectile. The projectile is loaded and fired by compressed gas, in this case a puff of air. Essentially, the same technology was used in support of the MX missile program. Here at the Navy's surface launch test complex operated by Westinghouse Marine Division. This test used a gas generator to eject a concrete and steel dummy missile from a tube tilted to 45 degrees. The purpose was to study gas generator ejection dynamics, analytical methods and assumptions, and other phenomena. The data gathered will be used in connection with the MX trench basing concept. The scale model MX test vehicle is 26 feet long and weighs 36,000 pounds. 18 support pads cast of polyurethane support the missile in the tube. A launch seal made of castable urethane as proposed for the MX missile prevents gas blowing by the test vehicle. The gas generator made by a fire call has the same case enclosure used in the advanced development program for the MX launch tube or canister. The propellant also is the same as that proposed for the MX canister. Both the test vehicle and launch tube were instrumented to obtain the desired data. In preparation for loading a compressor band was used to flatten the launch seal for loading. As the test vehicle was lowered a measurement of launch seal and pad friction was taken. The donut shaped recovery buoy used only for the test was the last to go in. About an hour before launch the two gas generators were installed and initiators and firing cables connected. The launcher tube was then tilted to 45 degrees. One of the proposed launch angles for the MX and the countdown began for ejection from the tube and water recovery. In this slow motion film the vehicle is emerging from the tube about 20 times slower than real time. In real time it looked like this. The test was conducted by AFSC's space and missile systems organization. During its 10 minutes in the water all instrumentation compartments remained watertight. All nine pads on the down rain side were damaged upon impact with the water. There was no pad damage however from the launcher tube or from the hot gas. There was minor abrasion of the launch seals and some minor gas leakage. Early test results revealed performance as expected. Vehicle exit speed was about 80 feet per second and the rate of pitch about 7 degrees. A second gas generator test has since completed the first phase of the MX T-shooter test program. Another step in development of the next generation of land-based intercontinental ballistic missiles.


hello is this your first time in radio uh yeah this is my first time ever been on radio would it tell you something now listen to your album it'll be your first of many but first of all you have uh Mirren's just released uh your debut album yeah and it's called i kept these old blues uh tell us a bit about it first just before we um it's um it's mainly like country blues songs um and there's i think there's how many songs 12 maybe have you have you written on yourself no i haven't they're all cover songs of kind of old blues guys from like the 1920s and 30s yeah and what age are you 14 i'm 16 16 how did someone 16 get into blues or blues um well i kind of grew up when my dad was really into it and i've always kind of grew up just listening to it all the time that's kind of how you got into it and you took us you just took it right away you love it yeah i just loved it straight away well some of the songs are old songs because i was just checking in the back history of some of them and i was kind of mesmerised i was going how's a young girl how do you come on that i just don't know you know but before we talk more we would love to hear a song from you and then we'll discuss the album and stuff like that what's the first song you're going to do first um the first song i'm going to do is candy man it's by Reverend Gary Davis oh whenever you're ready we're looking forward to this it's absolutely brilliant my god you sound like somebody's been singing that for years and years really it's lovely to hear i'm a big believe or a big fan of old songs been brought back you know classic songs that should never be allowed to disappear and a lot of them blues artists have disappeared you know what i mean yeah and fair play day it's brilliant thank you you're reviving them so we want to go back now you you uh you stop playing um when you're about nine or so no i kind of started i started yeah i started i got my first guitar when i was nine and i kind of started playing and then as i got a bit older i got well into i started doing jujitsu and boxing and i was very into that and i kind of flipped forgot about the guitar for a while and i was competing a lot in boxing and jujitsu as well taking up your time just yeah no time for it um and then when covid hit i didn't everything was all cancelled like all the sports and stuff yeah and i didn't really have much to do for a while so i just took up the guitar again and kind of just kind of just haven't gone back it's really and and how long has it since you have you know started the process of the album how long ago did you start that um it's took me actually it took me about two years to record the full album because um i when i got i got off with the album was when i posted the youtube video um back in i think it was 2020 yeah uh and that's gonna and then josh rosenthul and he kind of left a comment and he ended up count contacting us and that's gonna start a record deal that was a big thing for you yeah i was really surprised but it just shows you the power of youtube yeah and for young people for anybody really interested in music get it up there in social media take full advantage of and there there you are and did i see uh what do you call it keres matthews um yeah i'm yeah in january i'm going to i'm going to be on her um blue show your blues radio show well this will just be a wee sort of warm up for us you know but yeah and is that over in england is it um yeah i have to go over to london to to wow that's brilliant and she recommended that to bob delin yeah i don't think we'll see you up around these parts again you'll be too famous uh many tracks from the album uh there's 12 songs in the fall right and when you were um sitting down um she put the song had you had you a whole load of songs how did you cut down finally to get 12 or what way did it work for you um now when i when i got off with the album i'd only known a couple of songs so i was kind of learning as i went along i was learning these songs so that's kind of a way it took two years i was learning as i went along yeah wow and so you recorded and produced the album up with terry open and uh valley valley music studios yeah and uh how do you enjoy that process uh yeah i really i really love to um chord in my terry it was really just as we eat the wee studio and home studio studio we had in this house it was really comfortable and it was just really nice atmosphere in it you have to is that your first recording to do apart from your youtube um yeah that's where i did my first and then you went down i seen you're up in ballie shannon there and done a uh the video shoots you know that that was a good experience um yeah and bundor and it was in the bundor and i'm sorry i'm wrong ballie shannon hi at least i'm writing something there you go it was in sydhan's church so this is all new for you and then then all of a sudden rte your album becomes uh album of the weekend rt yeah how did that is that just did someone contact them or what way did that work um well my dad's become become friendly friendly with him keith manion and he helped he's been helping us out a lot and got it out there and keith promotes away yeah he's helping us promote very very good so what's next then gigs and um i've started i did my fifth gig there in dublin and on saturday and then the i was for yule and they're they're doing it to the sydham community and that was my fifth gig in dilley mine park yeah in front of him any um there was a bite um there's there was kind of 300 there's about 300 people there but they're indifferent and there's kind of different rooms of different people playing at the same time so there are probably i'm sure there's maybe been 50 100 people in that my yeah about 100 people when i was playing well and uh i just see the aries times culture uh have uh tweeted that murrin bradley uh exciting first steps of a dunagall country blues prodigy it's not everybody gets called a prodigy let me tell you so you just seem to be taking the the plispy storm or tea album of the week that's a major there's people going their lifetimes and they wouldn't even get airplane or tea let alone you know that's brilliant it's crazy it's kind of all happening very quickly and you able to control it not really to be honest so what about what about the uh the martial arts and stuff have you went back to that or have you just put it to one side um i was kind of i kind of stopped now for a wee while um just because um in especially you can hurt you can very easily like injure your fingers in it so i don't want to hurt my fingers or anything no forget about it no that's all you want you're going to play in somewhere and uh if people want to get in touch with you you're on all the platforms are you on um yeah i'm on youtube and instagram and facebook and all brilliant brilliant and how much traction is the uh the uh videos getting stuff how do you find that um well when i first my first the first video ever posted them was please dog blue do you think and it i hadn't really like i hadn't any subscribers or anything yet and i just got a lot of tension when i first posted it and i was really surprised and i think it's amazing i just think it's amazing that you know there's you know there's so much negativity people around social media you know people but there are so much positive out there to you and this is just an example of it so it's great encouragement to other people it says here bradley's playing as especially for one so young remarkably accomplished her technique and timing as a fruit of serious talent and application wow oh my god you're fairly hitting it i'll tell you so the album is uh out and released where can people get it um you can buy it on the tomcran square and band camp that will be website and then it's available in all um record stores in ireland and in america and all too oh marida it's sold out sold out they'll be more common yeah bring it in there join over here yeah i'm just saying that i'm pretty sure it's sold out now in ireland at the minute the on vinyl and cd but the big cargo it's uh been distributed by cargo they'll be more common like in the shops can order more so i think there's a there's a lot of people looking for it that is marlin hasn't actually got her own copies either so she's still waiting on her own ship she hasn't handled the vinyl or the cd herself but you know to go to vinyl uh is a big thing too you know because there's a cost process there and everything but i just love the people go to vinyl i just love that you know getting that physical when i get a vinyl when i get a vinyl copy i don't keep it and i use a cd so i go it's never been talked that's never been played you know but john john her father here joins us and he thought he wasn't going to get talking about it we wrote you him come here uh obviously as a parent uh there's careful steps you have to take on all this and this is a big you know this is a massive thing happening very very suddenly um yeah well we were when doffer came from josh for the album we just thought it was crazy we were very very slow to say yes like and think about the age of her and we didn't even know if any years time you know when maybe covid was over in the jujitsu inbox and started up with that you'd still want to do it so we kind of we were very slow to say yes and then josh kind of you know we stipulated a lot of things like you know there'll be no pressure on her that should have to do it in her own time however length of time and you know no obligation on her to promote it if she didn't want to when the time came around and he agreed with everything josh is as cool as you can get like um josh was involved uh thompson square records in san francisco he could meet a cutter man like but uh he agreed with everything and so we slowly went ahead and kind of here we are now like it's and all that zone all you know he's in san francisco to have you met as in personally as an old zoomed all just to him uh that's a big step that's a big step but obviously you're interested in and and this fellow music blues and that is have you always been that i've always been and yeah people that know me from when i'm martin's age i've been torturing them with this old old blues music from the 20 days and blind levin jefferson blind black robert johnson all this robert and who would be the main main one for me um most famous probably robert johnson robert johnson is probably the most famous from that area but um for us i think blind black i've missed subbie john hart is another big huge influence that's probably one of morn's personal favorites herself and maybe elizabeth cotton and the freight train would be a big and there's some cracking names they have haven't they all blind levin jefferson and there are some crazy names all right well now and fairness to them a lot of them like uh you know there's a lot of things going on in these two a lot of them didn't survive for too long but a lot of them just played you know ronus i loved of it and i now i have the world's worst memory right but i remember watching women women playing lady blues singers and they just blew you away mama oh my god just something else you know and uh it's brilliant i think it's great and that you're keeping that classic music alive because it's just it's dying or you know people very very few people holding on to it only the older school i mean do you collect that music john um i wouldn't be a big big vinyl man running but i mean i have hundreds of cds in the house you know and yeah i've listened to it for years and years and years and yeah i'm a real nerd like very good but it's great john you know in a script that you have that understand it um and strange enough you don't play yourself but no i do i do play myself as well like i do yeah i've played for years but i don't perform i've never performed i probably the worst case of stage fright in history so i just won't do it but i've always played i've always been mad on the guitars and always learning more myself too and uh always played and yeah oh it's taught a wee bit as well always taught a wee bit in the side always taught me he's my teacher well do you think about it as if you're saying john's very good too you know that stage fright thing that's that's there's a lot of these things that happen you know you know you have to think about that too so oh yeah yeah oh yeah oh we're taking it very slow and she's balling it up she's kind of would get fairly nervous as well and she's just she's just uh it gets easier every time you know like of course it does of course it does and you know when you're gonna when you're gonna over there to to london and actually you know you you you'll find a lot of these people are there for the good the better good for yourself and look after you you'll you'll see the next time we're talking to you're just we're going to get another piece of music off you if you don't mind but i'm going to take a quick outbreak uh what what what piece are you going to do next um mr. b john harter russum on blouse oh on the way after this break don't go away murrin bradley did you see fran's letter to santa no dear santa i want a dolphin real one please and a donut as big as a car done stores can make christmas for almost everyone whether you dream of amazing food a beautiful tree or the presents underneath it we've got you covered except for dolphins and car size donuts we'll leave that to santa make christmas for everyone at done stores christmas classics are back at century cinemas this christmas with the return of classics like home alone the polar express and many more every weekend starting from december the second to book tickets or for more information contact us on 074 91 21976 or visit our website at century cinemas dot i us pigeon see everything when we're flapping around up here well almost everything see burning certain fuels releases invisible toxic pollutants which can trigger asthma and lead to serious illness so if you're going to light a fire in your home make sure to use low smoke fuel oh and never wing it burning rubbish choosing low smoke fuel is better for all of us let's clear the air for everyone and remember to clean chimneys and heating appliances at least once a year brought to you by the government of ireland and you know the thing about it you do have a voice that adds to this it's all very well having the old song but you have a lovely

All right, it is a standoff for the ages these straw hats versus these shipwrights Versus CP 9 aka the shipwrights the lines are a little bit crossed right now the ladies and gentlemen welcome back to the channel My name is Shaq the master I should know be with episodes 245 and 246 for one piece watch today We are also 250 a quarter of the way to a thousand It is absolute chaos in water 7 as the identities of CP 9 have been revealed and the fact that Frankie is the one with Blueprints to the pluton aka the battleship aka the weapon of destruction. I don't know either We're gonna hop right into if you need to show and drop a sub and hit that big boy bell Let's get started Always like dude listen. I don't know what to say right now Chopper they're lost to I love this suit on Lucci though. It looks sick I know Oh Them fighting like what was it ten episodes ago was kind of like foreshadowing then dude didn't he get shot up Oh Okay, it's just vibing The real the real test is gonna be against Luffy and Zoro and all them Six powers Wait, this is so sad They're friends You fake man, I liked cocky the most out of all of them aside from Polly. I thought cocky was cool So quiet it's very ominous. Oh, there's no music. It's very ominous iron body Lucci from what we've seen is a very smart man the way he he like he talks the way he moves He's very That's what oh, that's what what's the name blue no did they all know the same She was how he moves so fast. You're gone. Oh So that's one of the abilities the six finger pistols another Namami nara be me Kazana. I did so I'd instantly why didn't Polly Just bounce back. He's grabbing him. I'm out of danger. I don't boy. Luffy He's playing killing all you know, they want to pin it on them There's the government man. I can't be the government's stupidly involved. I shouldn't have been shocked Yeah, I honestly forgot about Robin for a quick second. That's why they're even here in the first place Now why help them if they were for the government Well Okay, yeah Explained I'm surprised that she's not this she's a kind of Why I Guess because this is the only way to get her hands on the blueprint Maybe she betrays them once she's able to I wouldn't be shocked. She betrays CP 9 Dream is the point of this in general though She's gambling the fact that the government could become in possession of the pluton But if she's the only one that can transcribe it or I don't know Then why is she worried? Why is he worried? I don't know. I guess that she's like the key to the key to the lock He doesn't want Robin to be like They got a fine Frankie Frankie has Time is left to what oh Destroy it all it's nice of him to warn them whole galley lab building He's actually giving them that out They had to make it past them first I don't want to you know underestimate to be nine, but against those three maybe I Don't know actually those those torn whip for nuts. He crushed tile stone. Maybe not I just realized he had the pigeon talk for him for so long. We didn't know his voice I don't think he talked a single time. I don't remember but somebody talked by the mask. Yeah, I didn't even know Maybe those Motomoto you're going to come in if you go on the other pirates. Oh, I swear you got some powers We don't know about rose. Oh, come on Oh, no, I guess huge Luffy Like how are you supposed to make it past him man? Oh, Luffy's got his punches kicks all that he can try to outsmart them, but there's they're powerful It's no cold. I heard his iron crust. That's what when he punched him I think it was iron crust like his iris punch them with iron He can be as hard as iron as light as paper and he's that huge Dog Luffy is running to a wall here, man Sorrow might stand a chance. I don't know you're not getting past them Oh Okay, so yeah, they all share those those abilities and they're sick who walk shave the finger pistol Oh my god, but what else is there then? Tipis kick is not so can Sanji get that like in his skill tree Fast enough cause a gust of shark. Thank you for the explanation I If Zoro can't do this and I don't know men Zoro's the strongest out of all of them by far.  There you go. That's what I'm expecting You're gonna stop him What is Zoro looking at Damn we hello matched Yeah, for real Lucy knows that she's very important since she is the key to the blueprint. Oh, there she goes surely to be seen again Dude Luffy's getting clapped man Just the most punches and if that doesn't work he has to outsmart them But if they're smart like like luchier the any of these other guy, I mean this entire crew of CP 9 They all seem very very intelligent. They all know exactly what they're doing. It's a five-year operation, man It's like no mistakes. No room for mistakes Hey, hey, hey monogocoro It's a corolli. It's a for the government Jintai no genkai o koeru tame no kunden o pluto almost kind of looks sad It's kind of cool how they all use the same six abilities Yeah, it kind of are actually on in line. It seems like they are I mean if they're able to take down Luffy and Zoro The two strongest out of everybody in the crew What do Dilling's gonna blow up It's gonna leave them there I Show you something interesting is it another one of the powers? What is he transforming into?  I love how outmatched the straw hats are it just raises the tension to another level is I'm constantly just like Oh Luffy and Zoro got it. They're fine But this show it just puts both of them down to instilling cuz you know they're the two strongest I'm into a baby. Let's go episode 246


Hi guys, it's Monica.  So this video is a requested video and I, first of all, this is out of my comfort zone. So it is a yes. It's a topper. Yes, it's all about toppers. So if you are interested, stay tuned. Four of you have, at least the ladies that follow me because of wig talk, but a number of you have asked about toppers because I've mentioned a few times that I wear toppers. I have a lot of these little fake wraps, buns that I put in my hair and many different styles of them. I pin my hair up, even my short hair. I twist it up and I add a bun to it. It looks awesome. I really like doing that. So the first thing I thought I would show you is probably the topper that I've worn the most and that I have recently repurchased and bought a new one. And this is the one that, when I said that I've worn this the most, this is the one I've had the longest and I have customized and worn it the most. And this is an easy part. And this is the heat-friendly fibers so that I have actually styled it. I've been able to put some wave into it. But this is in Shaded Praline 12FS8. Shaded Praline by John Minow. And I'm going to show you what I really like about this. It's very light, very much. I mean you can see through it. It's not heavily, it's not high density. This is the 8 inch. This is the 8 inch. And I have not yet cut this and I have not yet styled it and I have not yet worn this. That's why it still has the tag on. I pick this up in Clarence. It happens to be my color. I happen to know that I really like this. I've got this at Clarence on with Studio One. And sometimes the toppers when they go on Clarence are just amazing. I love this topper. This is probably, this has probably been my all-time favorite. So I have her on right now. But when I have on, I have heavily, heavily trimmed and I have heavily, and I've styled it. I have de-shined it. They all come a little bit more shiny. The fibers come a little bit more silky for my liking. So I have de-shined it, dry shampoo, and then I put some Velcro type curlers into it very carefully after I cut it. Add a little heat, a very low heat. It's heat friendly, so you can do that. But I did it very, very low heat. I sprayed it with a heat protectant. Did a very low heat curl. Then I put the curler in because once it dries, now once it cools, that is when the curl will stay in these pieces. So hot, then the curler. And then I just kept, I went all the way around. If I, I think I have a pinch of what I did it, I never published it. And if I can find it, I'll show you. But this is just a super light versatile piece. Of course, depending on how much you need for protection, for your hair loss, will depend on what you do. Now, you know, what size you wear, what size base. This one that I have on is the exact same one. It is the, the easy part. It is the 8-inch. It is in the exact same color. And I have it on and I'm going to twist it up in a clip. And I put a bun on it. I will attach one of my buns. It's a pretty close match. It may not be perfect, but it's a pretty close match. So that's how I would normally wear this. But again, this one, I'm just starting the process of going to trim it, probably going to thin it a little bit. And then I will curl it so it has some body and texture. And again, this is John Minot. This is the 8-inch easy part. This is heat-friendly fibers. And I have my color in shaded praline. It is the exact same thing that I'm wearing on my head. You can see a little bit of the difference in the fibers. This has a little bit more texture. It's not quite as shiny. It's not quite as fine. And this is a heck of a lot shorter than this. I think my ideal length in a top would be 6 inches. So I always have to shorten them a little bit. My newest addition to my topper routine has been, and I absolutely love this chameleon. This was actually sent to me and I wore it when I was being interviewed by Christina from the wig company. So this was sent to me complimentary. And I'll tell you, I was a little real nervous about the color because the color is, and this is our Cal Welch chameleon. The color is SS Golden Wheat. And I knew that it would probably have too much gold. I was really worried about that. So SS 14, oh my gosh, it's on to read that. The joy of being older. SS 1488. Okay. And this one is just really beautiful. I love this one. This one has a little bit of a lace front right here. I've done nothing to this. I wore it. I sprayed, I may have sprayed a little bit of dry shampoo, but I haven't cut it. I haven't trimmed it. I'm going to still do that. And I haven't curled it. It does have a little bit of a texture. And I'm really surprised. I wanted to show you, I am really surprised at how close these colors are to. Here's the Jon Renau Shaded Praline. And here is the Golden Wheat in Raquel Welch. Million is a monoclip bang. 100% hand tied, really pretty. And the front is six inches and the backs and the sides are nine inches. So this for me, that's why I have to trim it a little bit. It's going to be, you know, a lot longer. I've worn this a number of times. I love how this fits. I love how it is light. You can part it. It's 100% hand tied.  If you want to wear it, sorry, I'm upside down. And I love the little lace front. If you want to wear a lace front, you can actually turn this if you really wanted the other way as well. I've done that as before with other pieces. But so this, I have not done anything to, I haven't trimmed it yet. But I've won this and I have twisted this up with my clip. And it's just given me an amazingly full, I think, realistic updo and an everyday updo because I wear it to work. So this is chameleon. This I will have to tell you from the Raquel Welch line. I love it.  I bring some of my own hair in the front and it works out perfectly. Even though my own hair is more of a, right now, because I've been letting the gray grow out, it's more grayish blonde, lighter than that, it blends perfectly. Even this blends, I think, really good. I mean, in the back, what does it matter, right? You get all this. And if I went to go and put it up, twist it up, put a clip in it, you know what I mean? It wouldn't be anything at all. So that piece I really like. I also have bought another piece from John Renau. And when I bought this particular piece, I was super, super excited when I got it, because it is basically easy fringe, high heat defiant, so it's heat friendly. You can go ahead and style it, but it was 12 inches. Now I've got this on clearance as well, so that's why I bought it. I figured I could cut it. But I expected it to be more just bangs. That's what I expected, because it does, it's easy fringe. And so when something says easy fringe for me, I thought bangs. Well, it is bangs, but it goes sideways, obviously. So this is the front. And you can see there's a little, there's a mono filament here. So you have lots of parting options. It looks really good. I just think for me, now granted it's 12 inches. Now I really thought there would be nothing much in the back. I just thought it would be a fringe, something I could add more to the front. So I'm going to have to do some trimming, which I've not done yet. Some thinning, which I've not done yet. So once I cut this and I thin it, I think it'll be perfectly fine. This is in shaded praline. So that is the color I normally wear in John Renau, the same color that I have on my head. But just a little bit more volume than I expected for this piece. Like I said, I thought easy fringe was going to be just that. It was going to be fringe. Another piece that I have, and I got this one in Clarence too. I love Clarence shopping. This I've done nothing with it all. I haven't worn it. I have done nothing with it. This is actually, you'll find my piece of paper. I'm going to get the right color for you. Um, this is, this is Ellen Villa and I picked this up. Oh my gosh, I can't even remember what my, my Clarence price was. A lot of times when there's Clarence sales, no matter what, wave retailer you, you have, you'll see some really good buys. You just have to be patient and look and hope for your color. This one, I'm pretty sure I got at Wake Studio, I did Wake Studio one and I got it when they had their Clarence 30% off of Clarence. So Clarence is already drastically reduced and I got it when it was 30% off. So this is 100% hand tied. It's a full lace front. So you have amazing options for this. It is really light. It is just longer for me than I want. The bang is 9.5 inches. Crown is 9.75 and the base is a three by five. So the base is fine. I like a smaller base and you can see the base. Now because it is 100% hand tied, you can flip this on any side. You can wear it any way you really want, whether you want it side by side and you want to do it or you want to go from the front to back or back to front. You can really do this. This color is so, so close. And this is Sand Mix. What a great color, huh? I mean so close. So Shaded Praline Sand Mix, Chameleon in Golden, Golden, you know, the Golden Week color. Oh my gosh. Chameleon, Shaded Praline Sand Mix. I mean unbelievable, right? This I really like. It is just like at this point in time, it is way too long. If it was before I had the shorter hair, this would have been perfect. So I really like this a lot. I think it's just an amazing piece. I have another one. The only other one I have and many of you might have seen this. This, this one is, take a look at this. There's a lot of hair. I have cut this, but I have not yet curled it. This is definitely a high density topper. It is also a big topper. I mean this has a huge base. And let me tell you a little bit about this one. This is Uniwigs Bella and this is Remi Human Hair. It is a six by six, but it does look bigger to me, but it's a six by six round. So, you know, that's probably why. But it is absolutely beautiful. It has bangs. It is, the base is juiced, it's silk. So no matter where you wear it, you know, what you do with it, you're going to have such a natural illusion of scalp. For me, I keep thinking I'm going to sell this because it's too much for me. But if I were to keep this, I've had this now for what, two years. I've wanted a number of times. You've probably seen it in earlier videos. For me to feel really super comfortable in this, I have to do some thinning. And I'm debating whether I want to tackle the thinning. I went and bought some thinning shears. I went and bought some regular cutting shears so that not that you have to have the best of everything, but if you're going to be cutting your wigs, the hair doesn't grow back. You want to be very, very careful. And I wanted to make sure that I had the appropriate shears to do the thinning and also to do any kind of trimming. And so that it would feel really comfortable. I have taken this one because I've worn it so often to my hairdresser.  And she said, sure. So she has done that and I really, I mean, I really like it. I'm going to just take this gently off. Wigs go on. And I'm going to show you the Raquel Welch.  I'm doing this without being able to see. Now normally I would be fixing my hair. So this is the piece that I wore when I was being interviewed by Christina from the weed company. And I actually had it pulled back. I'm going to try to do this. I don't know if I can do it. I actually had it pulled back because I had been interviewed and I had, it was on Friday night and I had just gotten home from work when the interview happened. And my hair was kind of like a mess. Truly it was a mess. And I have no idea what this is going to look like because I'm not saying myself. But I like my updo's dupe to be messy. Now I did that sight unseen. If I was going to really fix my hair, it's been more time putting my own hair up into the ponytail, wrapping it a little bit higher. I would probably spray the bottom part of my bio hair to get it up and stay up.  But then when I got my hair up and then I attached the fake piece, then I would put in a, you know, a clip and I like to have the messy look. So I do. I like to have the messy look. And so that's kind of how I did it. And they were like, when I was doing the interview, first of all, none of them knew I had my topper on. And they were amazed at how I actually flipped up my fake bun. Well, I love these wraps. Most of my wraps that I have gotten actually have gotten from the wig company. I've ordered them. They're by hairdo. They're heat friendly. You can do an awful lot of these. You can also, I've seen sometimes you can get them in some altars. I have butter toast is the color I think I wear the most in these wraps. They're not perfect.  You can get some that are darker. They're not perfect. I'm not a perfect match for me. But they are pretty close and they are so reasonable. So I love having these hair wraps. You can see, I have a backpack. And so I'm super careful. I've watched them a couple of times, but when they get to be too ratty looking and you can't smooth them out, you can always try a little bit of silicone spray, works wonders. These things last forever. I mean, I think this one at least have been using this particular one for about two years and for something that costs under 20 bucks. How can you go wrong? Especially in the summertime, right? But I will say this is my favorite. I just, you've seen me with this one. I love the long trendles. This one is getting a little bit of rattyness because if you want to call it, I still think it looks awesome because I do, I do like a messier look, but I've worn that the most. That's my toppers. I am not a topper expert. I am not a, I'm not an expert reviewer by any stretch, but I'm not a topper expert. I just know what I like and knew that to me a good topper for me is something that does not have, is not high density, isn't super long right now, and is, or has cut a color that I can blend in with my, my bio here for the every day, you know, the every day wear. So yeah, toppers. How much fun is that? And check out, check out the clearance section because that's where I get the majority of my toppers. This one, the transformation from Raquel Welch, hand tied, amazing lace front comfort. There's something about the clips they don't pull, they don't tuck. I really, really like this. I can't, I can't wait to, I'm going to probably trim this down a little bit more because I don't think my hair, I'm going to let it grow any longer. But yeah, so when I went away on vacation, this I brought and this I brought. These are the two pieces that I brought. And of course I got brought my, my little buttons and all my hair clips so I could be feeling comfortable. So that's it for me. Thank you so much for watching. And if you have any topper questions, let me know. I'll try to answer them. Thank you.


right now our focus is property number 1 which is thermal expansion right now this is a property of every substance and it says that the substance right now the substance will expand okay substance will expand if the temperature of the substance is increased the temperature of the substance is increased what will happen to the substance if the temperature is decreased you will contract okay so whatever was the situation before you will come back to that right so this is what we are going to learn now when I say expand expansion what do you mean by that expansion is expansion of length expansion of width expansion of area or expansion of volume what do you mean expansion of volume expansion of everything all the dimensions each and every dimension will expand fine with length width area or volume everything will expand okay so we will talk about it one by one first we will take the most simplest scenario that is linear expansion right now linear expansion and in a way you know area is nothing but multiplication of two linear dimensions so if the expansion is there volume expansion is anyway there and if expansion is there volume anyway is there okay so they are interlinked linear expansion so have you learned a little bit about calculus little bit like for example something is varying a curve sort of thing then you assume a very very small interval and then you say that in that small interval you can assume it to be linear even though it is a curve okay similarly here the expansion is so less expansion is so less that you can assume that it changes linearly with the temperature what I mean to say is that if you consider length you consider length l if this length changes by delta l for delta t increase in temperature if you change the temperature by 2 delta t how much is my increase in length 2 delta l 2 delta l okay so you assume it to be sequential increase or linear increase with the temperature fine now let's get into little bit more detail suppose I take a rod let's say a rod has length l okay you have provided heat to the rod and its temperature has changed from t naught from t naught its temperature has gone to t naught plus delta t t naught plus delta t so increase in temperature is delta t and length is increased to l plus delta l okay now can you tell me this delta l increase in the length should be proportional to what delta t in immunity that will come in on my delta t it should be proportional to delta t what else delta l should be proportional to what else it should be like it should depend on delta t delta l should depend on material of course because it is a property of a material it has to depend on what is a material otherwise it is not a property of substrates okay what else delta l depends on what else that does it depend on l also delta l if I take half the length l by 2 will delta l be still the same or it will be different if I just take l by 2 length l by 2 okay I divide this rod into l by 2 and l by 2 okay if I increase the temperature what should be the expansion here if delta l was initial it should be delta l by 2 here and delta l by 2 there are you getting it or let me give you a simple way to visualize you take a rubber band and you stretch it if shorter the rubber band same amount of force small extension is there longer the rubber band same amount of force longer extension okay each and every part will expand this l by 2 will expand now so each and every part here will expand but the total length is l by 2 right now so total expansion to delta l by 2 so in a way the expansion depends on the original length also fine so delta l is proportional to whatever was the initial length let's call it as l0 fine now these are the two mathematical relations okay so I can combine these two and I can say that delta l is proportional to l0 into delta t I can say that okay now I will put a proportionality constant okay I will put a proportionality constant and I will say that that propositive constant is specific to the material so this depends on material this thing is taken care by the constant itself getting a point so delta l is equal to l0 alpha delta t where alpha is coefficient of linear expansion alpha is coefficient of linear expansion it is typically of the order of 10 x 1 minus 5 it is very very less and if you see the variation of alpha let's say with temperature this is alpha it goes something like this okay so after 500 Kelvin after 500 Kelvin alpha becomes a constant this proportionality constant alpha even though we are treating it a constant it doesn't remain constant at a lesser temperature it becomes constant after 500 Kelvin or so for a particular material itself okay but then whenever we talk about thermal expansion our temperature will be typically more than this okay so until and unless specified we will assume alpha is a constant for a given material can I doubt now using this let's say you have a rectangular plate you have a rectangular plate of length l and width b fine you are increasing the temperature by delta t okay coefficient of linear expansion is given as alpha okay initial area is what l into b l into b is the initial area find out the final area when temperature is increased by delta t try to derive it what will happen to l how much delta l will be l alpha delta t okay so l will increase by delta l what will happen to b increase by delta b so b will increase little bit like this so the new rectangle will be like this okay so this much is the extra area that comes in because of the expansion fine I want to find out what is you know new area in terms of lb alpha and delta t assume alpha to be very less should I do it most of you have exams going on they have exams going on right before we start the next week this step is coming yeah you will ignore it ignore alpha square because alpha is up to the order of 10 is 1 minus 5 yeah so you ignore alpha square if it is like alpha square plus alpha you ignore alpha square it's like adding 0.0001 with 100 still 100 okay so the new length will be equal to the original length plus delta l can it out here delta l is what l alpha delta t okay so you will get l times 1 plus alpha delta t right and similarly you can find the new width to be equal to original width 1 plus alpha delta t okay so the new area is what length into width again so the new area new length into new width this is equal to l into b 1 plus alpha delta t whole square l into b is what original area right so the new area is equal to the original area and then expand this 1 plus alpha square delta t square plus 2 alpha delta t okay this just ignore alpha square is very very less so you will get new area is equal to the original area in the 1 plus 2 alpha delta t fine so it looks very similar to l is equal to l naught 1 plus alpha delta t okay or you can also write here a n minus a naught which is delta area change in area is equal to a naught into 2 alpha delta t fine so this formula looks very similar to delta l is equal to l naught alpha delta t okay so if alpha is coefficient of linear expansion 2 alpha should be coefficient of aerial expansion fine so we we can also name this constant as beta and we see that this is equal to a naught beta delta t okay where beta is equal to 2 alpha and it is coefficient of aerial expansion end outs but then now similarly what do you think the formula will be for volumetric expansion can you draw parallel and write down the formula for volumetric expansion delta v is equal to 3 alpha delta so you not only multiply length and width you also multiply height so there comes 1 plus alpha delta t whole cube so you ignore cube and square terms and 3 alpha delta t fine so here delta v is equal to original volume into 3 alpha delta t this 3 alpha you can write it as gamma so v naught gamma delta t is gamma is coefficient of volumetric expansion and it out still now so this is the quantitative analysis of expansion we have quantified all the formulas over here no doubt


Ever wonder why you get along better with some people over others? Compatibility plays a role, of course, and similar interests and hobbies do as well. But we're also often attracted to certain people who become our lifelong friends and romantic partners because they help us become better people. Just like rare gems, they can be hard to find. Tired of the liars, cheaters, and users you once thought you could rely on? Here are five types of people worth keeping in your life. 1. The ball of sunshine Ever heard of the saying that you are a mix of your five closest friends? When you surround yourself with sweet and caring people, you also catch their contagious energy. People who are positive and upbeat aren't just the cheerleaders you see at pep rallies. They can actually benefit your health. Research shows that positive thinking can increase your lifespan, strengthen your immune system, and reduce your risk of developing heart disease. It's still unknown about the direct causation of these benefits, but researchers theorize that having a positive outlook can help you cope with stressful situations better, which in turn reduces the physiological side effects that stress creates. 2. The life coach It's good to have role models in life, especially when you're young. A five-year study sponsored by Big Brothers Big Sisters Canada showed that children with mentors were more confident and displayed fewer behavioral problems such as bullying and giving into peer pressure than those who didn't. Young people who have mentors are also more likely to graduate high school and go on to college. Those of us who had absent or abusive parents will especially benefit from having someone by our side who can offer different perspectives and be the support system we lacked throughout most of our childhoods. 3. The adventure seeker What's life without a little adventure? When we get tied up in everyday responsibilities, chores, and work, it makes us forget about things to look forward to. Befriend someone who isn't afraid to step out of their comfort zone and travel the world. Together, you can embark on journeys that change your life forever. Not only does being adventurous reduce your levels of anxiety and depression, but it can also make you more intelligent. Psychologists from Indiana University discovered that our creativity and self-awareness increase. In addition, the new cultures, environments, and experiences we immerse ourselves in can cause our brains to think different. 4. The natural psychologist When you're having a bad day, it's good to have someone who understands you. Good listeners make the best friends because they have high emotional intelligence, giving them the gift of reading you well, empathizing, and providing authenticity. You can always count on these people to be open-minded and non-judgmental. Often philosophical and idealistic, these natural psychologists aren't afraid to ask you follow-up questions that help you tap into the power of self-reflection. Instead of explicitly telling you what to do, they would rather guide you to potential solutions. 5. The mad logician In order to move forward, we also must think forward. When you surround yourself with people who value logic and problem-solving, they can encourage you to use critical thinking instead of just basking in conflict. If you're especially the type of person to depend on others to make you feel better, being around logicians can help you become more self-sufficient, responsible, and practical. They're the ones who help you turn dreams into reality, reminding you that working through obstacles and challenges is much more rewarding than passively daydreaming. Sometimes, we're afraid to walk away from friends whose values no longer align with ours just because we've known them for a long time. But it doesn't always necessarily mean they become our lifelong friends. Don't be afraid to expand your horizons and meet new people. Do you know someone who changed your life for the better?

Your Excellency, Mr. Donald Trump, President of the United States of America, Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modiji, Ministers, distinguished guests, ladies and gentlemen, good afternoon. Before I begin with the press event, I would like to announce the three documents which were concluded during the visit. First was an MOU on mental health between the Department of Health and Family Welfare of the Government of the Republic of India and the Department of Health and Human Services of the Government of the United States of America. Second was an MOU on the safety of medical products between the Central Drugs Standard Control Organization within the Directorate General of Health Services of the Ministry of Health and Family Welfare of the Republic of India and the Food and Drug Administration of the Department of Health and Human Services of the United States of America. And finally, a letter of cooperation between Indian Oil Corporation Limited and ExxonMobil India LNG Limited and Chart Industries Incorporation. I now begin the proceedings for the press event. To begin, may I request the Honorable Prime Minister of India, Shri Narendra Modiji, to deliver his statement to the press. Shri Narendra Modiji, Honorable Prime Minister of India. The historical welcome will always be remembered. Yesterday, it became clear again that the relationship between America and India is not just between the two governments. Rather, people are driven, people are centric. This relationship is the most important partnership of the 21st century. And that is why today, President Trump and I have decided to take our relations with comprehensive global strategic partnership. Friends, today, in our discussion, we have thought about every important aspect of this partnership. Whether it is defence and security, energy supply, trade, etc. Whether it is defence and security, energy strategic partnership, technology cooperation, global connectivity, trade relations, or people-to-people ties. There is a huge difference between India and America. Our strategic partnership is a very important part of this partnership. Our defence and security is a huge part of India's defence and security. Our defence manufacturers are a part of the supply chain of each other. Indian forces are the most important training exercises with the US forces. In the last few years, there has been unprecedented growth in interoperability. Friends, in the same way, we are making efforts to fight the defence and security of our homelands. Today, we are making efforts to strengthen the security of our homelands. We are making efforts to strengthen the security of our homelands. President Trump has fought the opioid crisis and has given it power. Today, we are engaging in drug trafficking, narcotrism, and organized crime. I have also supported a new mechanism in the interests of discussions such as serious issues. Friends, some time ago, our strategic energy partnership has been refurbished. And in this area, there is a big gap between us. For oil and gas, America has become a very important source of India. In the last four years, our coal energy business has been running for about $20 billion. Whether it is renewable or nuclear energy, our cooperation is getting new energy. Friends, on the other hand, Industry 4.0 and the 21st century's new technology is also building a new place in India, the US partnership, innovation and enterprise. The talent of Indian professionals has strengthened the leadership of American companies. Friends, India and America are dedicated to openness and fair and balanced trade in the Middle East. In the last three years, our coal energy business has grown double-digit and it has become more sustainable. If we take energy, civil aircrafts, defense and higher education, then in the last four to five years, India and America have invested nearly $70 billion. A lot of this has happened because of the policies and decisions of President Trump. I am sure that in the coming times, this will increase a lot. As far as bilateral trade is concerned, there have been discussions between our Commerce Ministers. President Trump and I have understood that the understanding between our Commerce Ministers will give our teams a legal form. We have also been encouraged to start negotiations for a big trade deal. We hope that there will be good results in bilateral trade. Friends, India and America's cooperation is based on our common principles and intentions. Especially in Indo-Pacific and global commons, this cooperation is especially important for the rule-based international order. In both countries, in the development of connectivity infrastructure, it is important to have sustainable and transparent financing. Our mutual funds are not only for each other, but also for the benefit of the world. Friends, India and America's special friends have the most important role in our people-to-people relations. Whether they are professionals or students, India has the most important role in the Indian diaspora. These ambassadors of India, not only are they contributing to the U.S. economy, but are also enriching American societies with their democratic values and culture. I have requested President Trump to advance the totalization agreement on the social-security contribution of our professionals. Friends, in all these years, President Trump's journey to make our relations stronger is a historic step. Once again, I would like to thank President Trump for coming to India, and for reaching the new heights of Indian-American relations. Thank you. Well, thank you very much, and Prime Minister Modi, this has been a very special visit. Unforgettable, extraordinary. What can you say? Very, very wonderful to be with you. Thank you very much. And Milani and I have been awed by the majesty of India and the exceptional kindness and generosity of the Indian people. We'll always remember the magnificent welcome the citizens of your home state showed us upon arrival. It was a profound expression of strength and of real love. Really, it was love. And I think everybody saw that, everybody witnessed that for themselves. First lady and I also reflected on the memory of Mahatma Gandhi at his ashram this morning in Delhi. We laid a wreath in his honor. We visited one of your nation's most stunning cultural treasures, the world-famous Taj Mahal. And we look forward to continuing our visit tonight during a wonderful state banquet with President Kovind at the Presidential Palace. I know Prime Minister Modi will agree that this has been a very productive visit for both of our countries. Earlier today, we expanded our defense cooperation with agreements for India to purchase more than $3 billion of advanced American military equipment, including Apache and MH-60 Romeo helicopters, the finest in the world. These deals will enhance our joint defense capabilities as our militaries continue to train and operate side by side. In our discussions, Prime Minister Modi and I affirmed our two countries' commitment to protecting our citizens from radical Islamic terrorism. And this effort, the United States, is also working productively with Pakistan to confront terrorists who operate on its soil. Together, the Prime Minister and I are revitalizing the Quad Initiative with the United States, India, Australia, and Japan. Since I took office, we have held the first Quad ministerial meeting. I guess you would call it a meeting, but it seems like so much more than that. An expanded cooperation on counterterrorism, cybersecurity, and maritime security to ensure a free and open Indo-Pacific. As we deepen our partnership with India, we remember that our two countries have always been united by shared traditions of democracy and constitutions that protect freedom, individual rights, and the rule of law. During our visit, we discussed the importance of a secure 5G wireless network and the need for this emerging technology to be a tool for freedom, progress, prosperity, not to do anything where it could be even conceived as a conduit for suppression and censorship. To guarantee that the infrastructure of the future is built in a safe, transparent, and accountable manner, the United States is working with a range of partners, including Australia and Japan, to create the Blue Dot Network, a major initiative to ensure countries around the world to have access to private sector-led, sustainable, and trustworthy options for high-quality infrastructure development, and that's what's happening. Another major focus of my discussions with Prime Minister Modi is forging bilateral economic relationships that is fair and reciprocal. Our teams have made tremendous progress on a comprehensive trade agreement, and I'm optimistic we can reach a deal that will be of great importance to both countries. Since I took office, U.S. exports to India are up nearly 60 percent, and exports of high-quality American energy have grown by, thank you very much, 500 percent. That's great. As India grows, so do its energy needs. Yesterday, ExxonMobil signed a deal to improve India's natural gas distribution network so that the U.S. can export even more LNG to India. We are pleased to be joined by the Chairman of ExxonMobil LNG Market Development, Alex Volkov. Thank you, Alex, wherever you may be. Where is Alex? See you someplace. Alex, thank you very much. Thank you very much, Alex. And the CEO of Chart Energy and Chemicals, Jillian Ivanko. Thank you very much. Thank you both. Thank you, Jillian. Thank you very much. That's a big deal, Alex, right? Can you handle it? I think so, right? It's great. To further strengthen our economic ties, the United States is pleased to announce that the U.S. International Development Finance Corporation will be establishing a permanent presence right here. America is especially committed to working with India to improve development and empower women entrepreneurs. That is why my daughter Ivanka attended the Global Entrepreneurship Summit in Hyderabad to highlight women's economic empowerment. Ivanka, please. Great job you've done. Thank you very much. Thank you. We have since launched the WGDP initiative, which is now spearheading projects supporting women in the economy from New Delhi to Kolkata. In our meetings with the Prime Minister, we discussed and agreed to create a counter-narcotics working group to confront the growing threat of illicit fentanyl and opioid production. We must rid our societies of these lethal, horrible poisons. We will rid our societies of these bad drugs that are pouring in. Prime Minister Modi, we have made tremendous advances for our people over the past two days, and working together, I know that our two nations will continue to achieve new breakthroughs, unlock new potential and forge even brighter futures in the years ahead. We think we're at a point where our relationship is so special with India. It has never been as good as it is right now, and I think that's because the two leaders of each country, we feel very strongly about each other, and we have done something that's very unique, and we've made some wonderful deals for each of our countries. Once again, we want to thank you and the entire nation of India for honoring the United States with its outstanding welcome, and I'm pleased to say that the U.S.-Indian partnership is now truly stronger than ever before. This was a great visit with a tremendous friend and a tremendous leader, Prime Minister Modi. We won't be taking questions now. I'll be having a news conference at five o'clock, and we'll take plenty of questions. Thank you all very much. Thank you. Thank you, Excellency. This concludes the press event. Thank you all for joining.

There are two new APIs that allow the declarative shadow DOM to be used from JavaScript. You can use streams and web sockets. View transitions get a little bit better, and there's plenty more. I'm Pete LaPage. Let's dive in and see what's new for developers in Chrome 124. There are two new APIs that allow the declarative shadow DOM to be used from JavaScript. Set HTML unsafe is similar to inner HTML. It lets you set the HTML of an element to the string provided. This is really helpful for when you've got some HTML that includes a declarative shadow DOM like this.  But with set HTML unsafe, our shadow DOM is created, and the element is parsed as we expect it to be. The other API is parse HTML unsafe. It works similarly to DOM parser dot parse from string. Both of these APIs are unsafe, which means they don't do any input sanitization, so you'll want to make sure that whatever you feed them is safe. Finally, both of these APIs are already supported in the latest version of Firefox and Safari, adding to baseline 2024. Web sockets are a great way to send data back and forth between the user's browser and the server, without having to rely on polling. This is great for apps where you need to deal with data as soon as it comes in. But what happens if the data arrives faster than what you can handle? That's called back pressure, and it can cause some serious headaches for you. Unfortunately, the WebSocket API doesn't have a nice way to deal with back pressure. The WebSocket Stream API combines the power of streams with WebSockets, which means back pressure becomes way easier to handle. Start by constructing a new WebSocket Stream and passing it the URL of the WebSocket server. Next, wait for the connection to be opened, which returns a readable stream and a writable stream. By calling readablestream.getReader, you get a readablestream default reader from which you can then read the data from. To write data, call writablestream.getWriter, which gives you a writable stream default writer so that you can then write data to that. I'm excited about the ViewTransition API, and there are two new APIs that have landed that help with that. The PageSwap event is fired on a document's window object when a navigation will replace the document with a new document. And DocumentRenderBlocking enables you to block the rendering of a document until all of the critical content has been parsed, ensuring a consistent first paint across all browsers. Of course, there's plenty more. Disallow return to opener hints to the browser that it shouldn't show a return to opener button in the picture-in-picture window. Keyboard-focusable scroll containers improve accessibility by making scroll containers focusable using sequential focus navigation. And Universal Install allows users to install any page, even those that do not meet the current PWA criteria. All the details, including links, docs, and specs, are in the post linked in the description. Hit the subscribe button now so that you don't miss any of the latest Chrome DevTools videos, the CSS podcast, and more. I'm Pete LaPage, and as soon as Chrome 125 is released, we'll be right here to tell you what's new in Chrome.


When I was like six years old I drove past Griffith and I said to my mum, I'm going there one day. Mum was like, you don't know what that is and I was like, I don't care, I'm going there. One of the things that really surprised me about coming to university was how approachable lecturers and tutors and academic staff were. They're people that you can you know come to in between lectures and they're always happy to help. They want to see you succeed. It's an independent learning process and for me that was a really big transition but there are such great support systems at Griffith that help you. That's really what what made me so comfortable at Griffith was knowing that we had the full support of our academic staff. So one of the highlights of my university experience was having the opportunity to perform at Splinter in the Grass to bring science into the music festival. Being on stage with performers like Dr Carl and Professor Alan Duffy, really awesome experience. I undertook an internship at the end of 2017 for three months with Bowie. Having that like industry link prior to graduating really made me feel more comfortable knowing what it was like there and not just going from being a straight student to a full-time engineer.


Hi, I'm Jian Han. I'm here to talk about challenges and opportunities of Chinese companies going global. Nowadays more and more companies, Chinese companies, are going global and they are facing challenges and opportunities such as supply chain challenges, marketing strategies and talent challenges. One of the challenges that Chinese companies are facing when they implement their overseas strategy is to connect its talent strategy with its business strategy. When they're making the decision to go abroad, the first decision they need to make is why they do the merchant acquisition or why they want to explore the overseas market. Usually they make the decision because of it is either a good investment opportunity because they're expanding their market or because other competitors are doing the same thing and they have to do it or acquire advanced technology. Then later on down the road, they will gradually figure out that talent challenges is one of the most difficult problems the top management team is going to face. There are two important things to consider. First one, have the financial capability does not equal to management capability. So along the line or at the very beginning, the top management team, before they make the merchant acquisition decision, especially overseas, they need to consider the talent issues ahead of time. The second thing to consider is before the merchant acquisition, the host company usually consider from the home country perspective. Whereas during the strategic implementation process, problems usually occurred at the subsidiary side. Therefore, the talent issues should always be prioritized during the strategic planning stage rather than the implementation stage.
