Unlike Buber, the spokesman of the Nigeria Police Force, Ullumuyua Adejabi, has cautioned that the slang, no grief for anybody, could cause crisis among langerians. During a press briefing, Adejabi revealed that the police had received intelligence suggesting that the slogan had the potential to incite a revolution within the country. Let me say again on this note that the new slogan for 2023, 24 for our young ones is no degree for anybody. We have been informed from our intelligence that this slogan is coming from a revolutionary sector that may likely cause problem across the country. No degree for anybody is being seen as just a normal talk but in security business, in the security community we have seen it as a very, very dangerous slogan that can trigger crisis.


Welcome to the history of cinnamon, or really I should say the very bloody and shrouded history of cinnamon. Cinnamon was very coveted in a rare commodity for many, many years, and it was so prized people were willing to kill for it. So, how did all of this come to pass? Keep on watching and you'll find out all about it today, on eccentric nature! And now, the history of cinnamon. But what is the one and only true cinnamon? There can be only one. You see, cinnamon actually comes from two primary areas. And both types come from the bark of trees in the Laurel family. But here's where the two main types of cinnamon diverge. Casio cinnamon comes from China. It's described in a 5,000-year-old Chinese text written by Shenang, who is considered to be the father of Chinese herbal medicine. He's also the cool dude who invented tea. We love you, Shenang! Now, Casio cinnamon is actually the cinnamon that you'll find most often in food and other products these days. But the one considered to be the true cinnamon is salam. I mean, first off, its scientific name is cinnamomum verum, which literally translates to mean true cinnamon. Ceylon cinnamon comes from the country of Ceylon, which is now known as Sri Lanka. And it's considered to be true cinnamon because it is the more refined and higher quality of the two cinnamons. And it is also the one that was the most highly prized throughout the ages. While some still dispute this, most believe this is the cinnamon that the Egyptians started using around 2000 BC. The Egyptians would use it in perfume and, as they love to do, for embalming people. Just warms the cockles of your heart, doesn't it? And not surprisingly, it didn't take long for cinnamon to become the talk of the town. Oh, the cool cats and kittens wanted some cinnamon. But it was so expensive, only the elite could afford it. The Hebrews used cinnamon for a special incense called the katoret, which is used in the most prestigious services in the Jewish tabernacle. And cinnamon was also very practical, as it was highly prized for its ability to preserve meat. In fact, cinnamon was so desirable that nations would use it as an exceptional gift when meeting monarchs. And it wasn't long before owning cinnamon became a status symbol. Man, you just aren't anybody unless you've got some cinnamon. Now here's where things get fun. You see, the Arabic cinnamon traders didn't want anybody to get a piece of their action. Transporting cinnamon across cumbersome land routes was very difficult. And in the first century AD, Pliny the Elder mentions how 350 grams of cinnamon is worth the same as 5 kilograms of silver. So, in order to protect their valuable product, the traders wove various fantastical stories to keep the mystique and value of cinnamon at its peak. Herodotus wrote about one story where cinnamon was believed to be harvested by enormous birds. Later coined cinnamon birds who carried it to their nests. Another tale told of how it was only found in deep canyons. Guarded by terrifying snakes. Others said it was fished out of the Nile. Maybe because mermaids love cinnamon too? But people didn't really buy this, did they? Oh, they did. Hook, line, and sinker, maybe. Our favorite kooky historian, Pliny the Elder, guessed in his writings that cinnamon came out of Ethiopia, carried on rafts with no oars or sails, but powered by man alone and his courage. Aw, man, I want to power a boat with my courage. Thanks to all these tales, the traders were able to keep the true location of their cinnamon source a secret. And this fun little charade was actually maintained about a thousand years until the 12th century. Alas, as I mentioned earlier, things are about to get gory. We start with Emperor Nero. Now, no one was in the room where it happened. I wanna be in the room where it happens, the room where it happens. But here's what is roughly believed to have happened. Nero and his wife, Papia Sabina, got into a fiercely heated argument over him spending too much time at the old chariot races. Well, in a fit of rage. Depending on which story you hear, Nero either kicks or out-and-out leaps on his wife's pregnant belly. No others say that it was possibly more tame, and his wife just died because of complications of a miscarriage. Either way, Nero is completely distraught and burns a year's supply of the city's very expensive cinnamon on her funeral pyre to atone for his part in her death. Whew, that's pretty horrific. But just an isolated incident?  You see, word finally got out about where true cinnamon was being produced. Thanks to an Arabic scholar, I'm not saying that name, and not long after, John of Montacorvino spilled the beans in a letter he wrote in 1292. And now that people are starting to find out that cinnamon wasn't harvested by giant birds or guarded by terrible snakes, they wanted a piece of the action. Now the Venetians, who had ended up cornering the European cinnamon trade, also really wanted to get a bigger piece of that pie. So they funded a number of expeditions, as did other countries like Spain, including some voyages led by Dorcas Maximus, Christopher Columbus, who promptly got lost and ran into this supposed new land, which wasn't even close to what he thought it was. But hey, Columbus was nothing if not resilient, he set out on another mission to find cinnamon and other wonderful products, and amazingly, he found some and wrote home to Queen Isabella Triumphant, and then quickly found out that the samples were done. And after several voyages of trying to find gold, cinnamon, other spices, really anything of merit, and being the stand-up guy he was, Columbus instead decided to send 500 slaves back to Queen Isabella, which totally freaked her out, and she returned the slaves. And not long after, Columbus was arrested. Yeah, I know.  Much more successful was Ferdinand Magellan, who was the first to sail from Europe to the Orient past the southernmost tip of South America, and in the 1500s ended up finding Cinemomum Minna Naintz, a close relative of Ceylon cinnamon, and this cinnamon actually became competitive on the global market. But it was the famous Portuguese explorer Vasco da Gama, who ended up finding the island of Sri Lanka around 1518. The Portuguese then worked out a fair and equitable deal with the locals to farm and distribute the world's most expensive cinnamon. Man, it sure would be nice if that's how it worked out. But no! Murder and mayhem ensued, and the Portuguese enslaved the entire island kingdom of Coto to take over the cinnamon trade, which they held for over a century. That is until another big bad powerhouse country took over, the ever fearsome country of Holland. Huh? But don't they grow like tulips and stuff? Well, back in the 1600s, the Dutch were a bit tougher and meaner about things, and with the help of some of the locals, they kicked Portugal's butt off the island by 1658. In fact, to make sure they didn't try and take back over, the Dutch kept battling the Portuguese until they had expunged them from the west coast of India. Once in control, the Dutch established what is widely known as the first international corporation, the Dutch East India Company. They were also the first to sell shares and securities to fund their activities, and this meant that the locals now had much better management. Ha ha ha! Oh no. Oh, you know nothing about history, do you? The Dutch were perhaps even more ruthless to the locals demanding ludicrous quotas from their workers. At one point, the locals started a revolt and massacred many of the Dutch overlords. Unfortunately, they weren't successful and the Dutch kept control of cinnamon production for almost 150 years. Enter the English, and if you remember anything about this lot, they weren't terribly nice either. The English were feeling just a little bit left out, because gush by gully, Ollie, they were the world's superpower around this time, and they deserved to have their part of that tasty cinnamon-flavored pie. So they got their bloodthirsty rage on in a series of wars against the Dutch, known as the Anglo-Dutch Wars. Of course, this was over other spices as well, but cinnamon was still one of the crown jewels they were after in this crimson-colored carnage. While all of this was going on, Lord Brown of the British East India Company established a cinnamon estate of his own in the Kananur district of Kerala, India. This would end up becoming Asia's largest cinnamon estate. But did some of the cinnamon mummy want all of it? Give me my cinnamon! And so the British fended off the Dutch in the last Anglo-Dutch war in 1784, but they didn't actually take control of Ceylon until they went and fought the French, who had snuck in there and taken control of it temporarily during the Revolutionary Wars. Eh, gads! So tough to keep up with all this bloodlust, isn't it? It's cinnamon people! Just find a way to grow more of it! Which is what ended up happening. More plantations ended up being established in other regions, and eventually the value of cinnamon ended up coming down to a more equitable level. Unfortunately, this meant that lower quality cinnamon also ended up becoming the norm.  Oddly, amidst all the carnage, the Dutch still controlled Indonesia until they declared independence in 1945. Today, Indonesia is one of the largest producers of cinnamon in the world. And as I alluded to earlier, Cassius cinnamon is actually what we get most of these days. But the original true cinnamon is still produced mainly out of Sri Lanka. And Ceylon cinnamon is still very rare and is currently the fourth most expensive spice in the world. There's also quite a bit of fraud in the cinnamon industry now, with lots of pretenders trying to steal Ceylon cinnamon's glory. The Sri Lankan government has also established a cinnamon research station to help maintain a high level of quality control, develop new cinnamon peeling tools, and do everything they can to keep Ceylon cinnamon's reputation the best in the world! Have you ever tried true Ceylon cinnamon? Let me know in the comments down below. If you want to learn more amazing herbal histories, then watch the History of Dandelions or the History of Sage next. Please be kind, take care of each other, and if you get the chance, get your hands on some Ceylon and experience the glory of the one true cinnamon!


What do you think about this Vietnam thing? What I'd like to hear you talk a little bit My frankly mr. President if you would tell me that I was all right to settle it as I saw fit I would respect the decline doesn't take it Don't like to brag I never happened right a minute down in my life But I knew we were gonna get in this all the mess when we went in there And I don't see how I was gonna ever get out without fighting a major war with Chinese and all up down there And those right status in general I just don't see it I just don't know what to do That's why I've been feeling for Next month I'll sit you out of position at the deer reading And uh, it looked like the more we try to do for them Unless they willing to do for themselves Situation it's a mess and it's gonna get worse. I don't know.  I just pulling out. I'd I'd get out But I but then I don't know there's undoubtedly some middle ground somewhere If I was gonna get out I'd get the same try to get rid of old team to get rid of these people and get some Felling that said he we'd tell we would get out and give us a good excuse for getting out I just I see no time to date Boy in the party How important there's it to us. It isn't important damn it I just don't know it's it's it's a tragic situation It's just one of those places where you can't win anything you do is wrong Well, it impeach present because it run out, wouldn't it? I just don't believe ever outside of morse everybody I talked to says you got to go in including Hickenlooper Including all the republic none of them disagreed with him yesterday when he made the statement We had to stand And I don't know how in the hell you're going to get out unless they tell you to get out Wouldn't that pretty well fix us in the eyes of the world over and make it look mighty bad? We don't have to Of course, you look pretty good. I guess going in there with all the troops and family them all in there, but I bet you it'll it'll be a more expensive venture this country. I went into one. I've got a little sergeant Oh, it works for me over to the house And he got six children And I just put him up as the united states army and air force in may be every time I think about making this decision and think about sending that father of those six kids in there and Uh, what the hell are we going to get out of his done?

purple effects was made by me if you can consider accidents made by someone so I had I had this strain called effects which was a garlic bud that Tim Blake one of Tim Blake's main workers gave to me in the late 90s and you know and so I I had this room going I'm a bunch of different stuff and it was summer and an air conditioner died and it got hot for a couple of days until we repaired it and the Mendo P as it can sometimes do it hermed all over the purple effect all of the effects right so I ended up with these two effects plants that had hundreds of Mendo P seeds yeah right and out of that those seeds came what we called the purple effects yes it's in the cannabibal uh a couple of them I think I don't know we grew yeah we we grew it a bunch it had


What's up creators! In today's video I will be giving you my thoughts on the Sony A7S III since Sony has now announced the launch event for it which will be taking place in July 28th. Now I just recently made a similar video on this topic but I just had to put out this video since we now sort of have a flavor of what to expect from the Sony A7S III. Now these are just rumors and we won't know the specs for sure until that event. Now I will be mentioning my top three features that are to be expected in the Sony A7S III that I find to be great to have and will be a big deciding factor for most people for buying or upgrading to this camera. To begin with I would like to start off with the Sony A7S III sensor. The A7S III might come with a brand new 12 megapixel full frame sensor that offers more advantage for video shooters than photographers. Having large pixels allows the sensor to capture more light meaning that it has great low light capabilities with less noise and more dynamic range. With that said this could be the best low light performing camera Sony has ever made but without having any evidence based tests we don't know for sure. As for the video features on the A7S III this camera is expected to shoot 4K 10 bit 422 at 120 frames per second with the option to shoot RAW over HDMI. This would be really great because I'd rather have a high quality 4K 120 frames per second than 8K RAW. 4K is just more user friendly and I personally think that 8K is not necessary for this year. Shooting 8K RAW on the Canon R5 will result in huge file size and overheating issues, not to mention the expensive CFAS card. What's amazing that on the A7S III you might have the possibility to upgrade using HDMI cable to reconnect to an external monitor to even shoot 16 bit RAW. I prefer shooting RAW externally rather than internally so this is a really great feature if this is really true. Now another feature I would like to mention is that rumors suggest that the A7S III has no recording time limit. If this is true personally for me this already beats the Canon R5 which has a record limit of 30 minutes. Also the expected built-in cooling system on the A7S III prevents the camera from overheating which can be very useful in hot weather conditions unlike the Canon R5 that is expected to overheat after 20 minutes of shooting 8K RAW. Another great feature that we might see coming is the 1080p capture in 240 frames per second which allows for buttery smooth slow motion. Before if I wanted to capture in 240 frames per second I had to use my iPhone 11 Pro to do so. For our third top expected feature is the flip out screen. An exciting rumor suggests that the A7S III will come with a new fully articulated screen. Many people have been waiting for this feature to come especially for content creators like me that need to film themselves might not need to use an external monitor in the future. Another exciting rumor news is that you will be able to control the display via touch which will make shooting and reviewing footages even easier. I already liked the focus touch feature on the Sony A7 III that allowed me to focus precisely. If this all seems to be true with the expected price tag of three thousand dollars then the Sony A7S III will become a very popular camera soon. For me as a Sony A7 III user I will definitely make an upgrade since the A7S III is considered for videographers and will bring lots of value to my video production. I'm really excited to see how well this camera will perform in terms of low light and autofocus. Now all we need is for Sony to confirm these specs on July 28th which will be very exciting to watch. If you haven't seen my previous video where I talk about whether it's worth leaving Sony and the A7 III for the Canon R5 then click on this video right here to check it out. Thank you so much for watching this video if you have any questions let me know in the comment section below. I wish you a great day and see you soon. Take care.


chilled and that's the kind of music I want to listen to. That's Tommy Keyes and I'm genuinely looking forward to Tommy coming up to see us and that's his brand new song but Tommy was the he was a keyboard player for a Dublin rock band many years ago called Sidewinder and he wrote most of their songs. It's a good songwriter you know. It's got a fantastic website and well done Tommy indeed. Check him out Tommy Keyes K-E-Y-E-S dot com and he's brilliant in the social media he's around the 70s and he's really active on social media. What do you mean you're in the 70s and you say he's old? So I was around the 70s too. Oh I thought you said he's round the 70s? No he was around in the 70s. Oh yes sorry I thought you're on social media. He's up on March 13th he's up for a holiday with his wife and he's going to plug in a Monday night sessions with us as well. Absolutely That's what we call dedication. Absolutely. So we're really looking forward to it. That is lovely I really really enjoyed it. Tommy Keyes and aptly named Sunday morning but anyway we just want to announce here at this time and the you've heard the radio promos and if you've been listening to Highland Radio this morning you would have heard myself and Jimmy on with Greg Hughes. We took over to Greg Hughes. We actually did we're only going on for two minutes and I think Greg went out one time didn't he? He did he left. He says it's a hell of a bit. He went to the shop across the street. We started talking about washing machines. What machines? The rising price of barley straw. There was a big one that conversation we had about the rising price of the kitchen rolls as well. Don't chat with him. 90 cent to two euro fifty. You know don't be talking to me but they are the quality too. And then you move on to toilet rolls. We're on by the MCT's and the cows and everything. I don't know. But we got carried away by ourselves. Generally I'll tell you what we're up for. We were up for the Irish Music Month and it's the local hero competition and it's back and we're delighted it's back. It's an association in partnership with Hot Press, the well-known go-to magazine in Ireland, the IBA and the BAI Sound and Vision Programme to promote and celebrate Irish Music. And it's actually got the support of the President, Michael D. Yes it's there. And the Minister for Tourism, Culture, Arts, Skills, Health and Sports and Media, Catherine Martin. Michael D. Higgins, the President, is also a supporter. He says it's lovely to be a part of it. I can't wait to talk to them to a voice. Let's go back to the serious bit a bit. There's 25 independent radio stations involved, including Ireland Radio. And what did you do Jimmy? Pull yourself together. Come on, don't you know. Stop it, we'll carry on now. This is a very good competition. Give it the seriousness and just tell you the President, Michael D. Higgins, is involved. So back, it was run in 2020. Right. Right. Started again. Started in 2021, right? And Shyamalan was the fellow that wanted a young lad called Matthew Harris, right? And what actually happened? There's winners come from each radio station. 25 independent radio stations total. Jimmy, you can pull yourself together please. And there's a fantastic prize, right? The prize up here, the four finalists, say from the Highland Radio Catchment Area, right? They'll receive a once-off payment of 875 euros. Plus then, you can go on then, and if you're the overall winner, you want a prize pot of 5,000 euros and 5,000 euros worth of music equipment. And you also get a chance to get your song, have a single released by Ruby Works Level, a well-known Ruby Works level here in Ireland. I can speak now, right? I'll tell you a bit about it now, will I? Oh yeah, Jimmy. When we did this in 2021, it was a national, it was at weird over 100 entries into Highland Radio. We had the highest entry in nationwide.  So we're asking artists out there, be it a singer-songwriter, a band, rock, punk, folk jazz, whatever, hip-hop, get your MP3 into us by the 31st of January at musicathighlandradio.com. So, you know, remember George Houston was, his grandmother was listening and she got onto George about it, and he sent in the MP3. That's exactly right.  So it has to be something from you. You email it into musicathighlandradio.com and now me and Paul have accessed all the entries as of today and Greg is a judge and Linda as well. And we're also having an independent judge in the music industry who'll be in with us. We'll be going through every, and it's, look, it's a tight deadline, it's three weeks. You have three weeks. 34th of January is the closing date for the entries now. And you know, as Greg said this morning, you're better getting under, rather than going on under somewhere, you know, and just go for it now. And I know, because of our experience up here, that there is loads and loads of people who are quite able and have been able to release brand new music and they're quite, you know.  So that'll be Greg's show. Yeah. On the Ninth and Lune show and they must perform at least one original song and in other words, no covers. So there's no limit on the number on their band or the number of artists in the band and the audio from the live radio performance is the one then it's sent to the national judging panel. So when you come up here and to perform, that's the, that's the recording that will be sent down to them, you know. Yeah. And I think the beauty of this poll is the exposure that the persons will get. I know you'll be talking to her shortly, but I mean, if you think about that time, 2021, Greg's show Monday to Thursday, we were up here some of those days. The band was playing in the studio opposite us here. And we actually took some of them on afterwards for our own thing, but it was brilliant. What I'd love to see is, and what we said this morning, if you entered before, come back in again. A lot of new artists, but say you enter our radio station, you can't enter another radio station. So we would prefer if you came to us and we'd love to get as many interested as we can and it's going to be, it's just, and I think even the prize money poll, I mean, if you're a solo artist, you called it out there at 875 euro. Now you and I are available to be a roadie for the solo artists. So we get to 225 and the solo artist at 650. Cash in the hand Jimmy, you know what I mean? What can you do? That's, but that's, you know, it's an incentive and the incentive at a national level. So we have an idea, but look, it's, it's brilliant. We're going to be talking about this for the next few weeks. We are. And you know this, we said it in Greg's show this morning that the judging thing was one of the hardest, most difficult things I've ever done in my life.  And, you know, I do get humbled by the quality of music we have up here and this is good, if not better than anywhere. Let me tell you, and there's no reason we can't win the overall competition. Elaine Doherty says, Paul, will you get serious there for a while? High lads. What do you mean get serious? I don't know. This is very serious, Elaine. You're laughing and you're Michael D. Higgins. No, it's just myself, Jimmy. Talked about myself. And anyway, you have Amy on the line, Paul. Hi, Leha. This is our 2021 winner. This is just to give you an insight. Good evening, Amy. How are you? I'm good. How are you? I'm very well.  So tell us how that process went for you. I tell you to believe that it's two years ago. I'm not just talking about it. It doesn't feel like it at all. Basically what happened was I wasn't going to enter this competition at all. I didn't even know about it. My aunt asked me, and she said, you better enter this competition. So I did. I had this song called So Goodbye. And I wrote it, actually, if I saw a machine, we passed away. We were 17. We passed away. And we went to see each other at the time. So I had this song recorded. So I will answer it. I'll give it a go. See how you get on. I answered it. I'm not expecting anything to come to it. I just want to write. So that was just amazing. And plus the fact too, you're getting exposure there for yourself as an artist, whether it benefits you or not.  I would imagine. So your advice would be, would it to encourage people to go ahead with this? Without a doubt. Even if they come back to the exposure I got online from it, even from people to call in. And I think as far as I remember, we got people to vote as well. That's right. Yeah. So even trying to promote that on Facebook, I got a serious amount of likes. And it's brilliant to see the amount of people who started to follow me after that. Brilliant. So I would definitely encourage everybody, even if they don't think that they're going to get through, just definitely give it a try because I didn't expect it. I'm sure I won the hiding radio stage. We were delighted. Do you know this? And we're not telling the world a lie. We were gutted that you didn't win over all because we thought we were going on here with an absolute belter of a song. We genuinely did. And everybody, all the judges were all agreed. But you've done this proud.  We were just over the moon. But would you be thinking of entering this year or have you other things you can do on just? Do you know what? I am up to my eyes this year. Even before I came on the phone to you, I've been working on assignments for college. I'm in my final year now doing music in Ulster University. So I am very, very busy. So I don't think I'm going to get the chance to enter it this year. But sure, I did so well last year. I'm happy out with that. But don't put yourself under pressure. Do what you're going to do. And where are you hoping to progress from the music? What sort of line of work are you intending to go into? Would you like to go into? Well, I always love performing. But something I love doing as well is passing on my knowledge. So guitar, piano, singing. So some form of teaching is what I hope to do. And I do still love the songwriting. And I have a lot of material now written that I'm hoping to get out there soon. And I'll be keeping that up. I'll be keeping the performing up. I'll be doing a bit of everything, I think, going forward. Brilliant. We're looking forward to your new music when you get it.   And the thing is, I always believe in, don't force yourself to do it. It'll sound fresher and better in your own head, you know. But keep doing it. I was going to say, Amy, how you doing? And thanks for, I'm well done in 2021 and everything you've done over the last few years. I can remember you coming on here. What age were you? Probably eight years ago, wasn't it? On Monday night sessions? I was probably 12 or 13. It was one of the first shows that first year, I think. Amy, just, you know, if I'm listening out there, one of the things is that people are always afraid of that you nearly have to have a professional MP3 or, like, because you can do so much now in your bedroom, on your phone. So would you say that to young artists out there who may be considering an interim but say, well, the quality just mightn't be up to speed for what they want? What would you say to them? Well, the quality doesn't really matter, even with what I'm doing at the minute for college. I started off with a voice memo on my phone. So all you need is some kind of an iPod or a phone or just your lyrics and your voice. That's adequate. And if you have an iPad garage band, it's brilliant. Brilliant. You can layer up different tracks, just like logic and professional software. So start, just use what you have available and give it a shot because, as you say, it's not the MP3 that's going to be submitted. It is the recorded version from live on the station. So that's not going to be an issue then, on that stage on. And listen, we're going to go out with the song in a few minutes time. Say goodbye. And people will listen to it, maybe haven't heard it before, and they'll be blown away a bit because I know the story and we know, and you shared the story with us, which is very poignant. But listen, you take care of yourself. Thanks for taking our call. And you know, as I always say, the door's open and you know where we are. So just get in touch with us if you feel like coming up someday. Of course, without a doubt, thanks for the invitation. And I definitely will in the next month or two. We'll get in touch again. All right. Best wishes. Take care. Thanks again. Bye. That's Emmy Meehan. And as I say, an absolutely belter of the song. But Emmy, Donna's so proud, but we're really delighted with Emmy's performance. And we genuinely thought she was going to walk this competition, you know. But once again, it's a local hero. March is Irish Music Month. And it's a get your submission in via an MP3 to musicathighlandradio.com and just give it a go. And you never know. As we always said, there's something you pointed out there. The hardest we had in her tell-off and we got them up here then, on the back of that, they come up to see us, you know, so. Pay the visit, bought a box of chocolates. Well, there's a box of chocolates we've sent them here today. Show the camera here. We're live, actually, we're live. I got a box of chocolates sent me today, right. And it was from Nice Patel, right. And Son Ashen Patel was up with us a few months ago. And they sent me a lovely letter. And I want to appreciate that. Thank you very much indeed. Sent me a lovely box of chocolates. Where are they, Jimmy? There they are. Behind look. If you're watching on the camera here, right? Over this camera, Paul, look. Oh, which one are we on? Here that one. I was looking away at that, but let's talk. Right, we've got this box of chocolates here, right. Hang on. And they weren't... They're lint ones. They're not... They're just your old... Pound shop stuff here. This is lint. Not a bit of range. So I opened them up, and we came back up to get them this evening, and there's two left. And there's the two Caroline Orders and like, and I know that for a fact. I'm making my stuff here. What did she leave? She left the... She left the chocolate fondant ones.  They'll have me jelly beans only. I'm not too worried only. Brilliant. It's a great competition, Paul. And music at Highland Radio, get your entries in by the 31st of January. Don't send them anywhere else. Only music at highlandradio.com. And we expect over 100 and something entries.  Mickey Duffy is writing a message here. He's smiling, he's laughing. We're looking forward to Mickey's gig. And Mickey's coming up to see us. Priority's gig. He's playing in the... And all sorts of... I can't wait. Mickey Duffy is something else. That Christmas song was just incredible. It's not even... You can nearly play it all year round, like a Christmas jingle to it. But it's actually... You could. It's about missing people and all. Well, I played it six days a week, going twice in a Sunday. You know what I mean? But, Mickey, listen, keep in touch with us. Sorry. Mickey Duffy, sit down there for a bit. Walk it. Paul, maybe Michael D. Higgins will give us a word of encouragement too. Yes, I encourage all of us to take part in getting the music in MP3 to musicathighlandradio.com. And we'll throw them. Mario Rosenstock. He's just... No, but it is. Buttercrack as old as, you know, nothing else. Anyway, listen, Amy Meehan won our regional, I could say, competition. And it was two years ago. And the song is Say Goodbye. Now, if you haven't heard this, have a listen to this. This is absolutely...


what's up team it's your biggest fan I'm just I'm adjusting the focus here team alright I think I think I got it I think I got it team so the deal is is I was kicked off of the uber eats app because they say I was making fraudulent deliveries and I don't want to go too deep into this uber eats thing because it's not important it's a very inconsequential thing but that I'd be one to let you guys know what what happened I got kicked off the uber eats app they say that I was fraudulently delaying orders between my between the restaurant and customers and this wasn't found by a person this was found by a machine and I think it's quite possible that all of the communications that I've had with the uber eats team has has been but with the computer it's really quite possible there's a number I can call for customer support and that takes you to the main uber number where you're talking to a human being but then they say hey right we don't the uber eats team they don't they don't answer phones there's no phone department for if you drive for uber eats there's nobody to call and all of my correspondence has been through messages either emails or in-app messages or text messages and each time the responses have been almost identical it's so I don't know I don't know what's going on I believe that there is a possibility that that whole system could be run by artificial intelligence which is which is which is pretty cool it sucks because I got kicked off the app and I was on the app because I need the money I gotta pay bills I gotta pay rent I got a wife I got kids I got a daughter in college I'm trying to grow a business I had a lot of stuff going on over here team but I'm making this video because otherwise if this never had to happen if they didn't kick me off the app two times they kicked me off once and I was like devastated I'm going like dude what am I gonna do how am I gonna make money what's the deal what's the deal what's the deal team right I got money coming in but it's not enough yet it's just not enough what am I gonna do and then they activated the app again and I was fine and I felt this relief this burden was lifted I felt free I could carry on with what I was doing but for those two days why I couldn't do anything my mind was running it was racing and the things that I had been doing I just doubled down on them so I was like hey if I can't go do these deliveries then I'll just make twice as many tutorials and upload twice as many videos I'll put twice as many courses in the startup lab as I was going to do before I'll just work as hard I work harder on this thing than I ever have before this thing that I'm doing for me I've never worked this hard specifically for myself it's always been me working really hard for somebody else and then getting kind of what's left over and even even in this right here right working hard for myself is like making all these videos posting them on YouTube YouTube makes all the money the people making we don't the people us making content we don't make a lot of money some of us do some of us do I think we all can make a ton of money to be honest I think there's room for everybody out here everybody the world is a very big place there's seven billion people and we're raising more people out of poverty every day and it takes me to another point team we got society here at least here in America is is it's in shambles it doesn't make any sense right now we're arguing over politicians we're we're fighting about climate change we're fighting about people crossing the border illegally legally illegally what you know I've been in conversations with people where they talk about immigration and I say no we're talking about illegal immigration and they go well nobody's illegal in it now you're right nobody nobody's illegal but we have rules and it is it's I'm not here to talk about politics team because politics are inconsequential it doesn't matter if you're a Republican black white blue green brown it doesn't matter none of that stuff matters team what matters is that we all get to live the lives we want to live and be the people we want to be and do the things we want to do without hindering the freedoms of other people that's the covenant that's the rule team we came here to play a game and we are smart enough to play this game and have as much fun as we want without crushing other people and that is I believe the ultimate direction of all society of if anything ever created is singularity it's where all of the different pieces get to come together and coexist is one but still be individuals like every cell in your body there's trillions of them no two cells are alike they're each doing their own thing they each have their own blueprint they each have their own job and they just do their job but us as humans we are too smart we come here and we know what we're here for we know what we want to do we're sad when we're not doing it we get depressed we get angry we lash out that's where violence comes from violence comes from people who cannot figure out how to express all of the energy that they have built up inside of themselves team like you take a little kid I have five kids and I've seen them all grow up in in various stages and when a kid when a kid cannot figure out how to express themselves whether it be like through their words or or through their through their movements they completely explode they go they fall on the floor they they they go nuts they're screaming they're crying is because they don't know how to control something something is not right and that's our job is parents to to help them through this help them figure out how to work through those emotions but most parents are shitty they don't understand this stuff myself included I've never even sat down and thought about this stuff before team until this happened until after 14 years in the army multiple years of software development no degrees no degrees team right just going to school learning reading books reading all these self-help books taking self-help seminars seminars and over the years I probably I don't know it doesn't matter a lot of money a lot of money on all this stuff learning all this stuff you can see the bookshelves and the crazy computer back here learning trying to figure this out why are things the way they are and I think that's been my mission my calling if I went any other way I wouldn't I wouldn't be here talking to you right now and this is a point in time where I believe the most people need this kind of conversation we don't need someone else to save us team we don't need politicians we don't need to elect somebody who's going to go off into washington and fight the good fight for us because they're all full of bullshit everybody has their own agenda and everybody should have their own agenda everybody should act in their own what is what is it called there's a book called um atlas shrug by iran and for those of you who don't like to read there's movies there's like I think it's a four part four movies it's called atlas shrug by iran and iran is a philosopher and she she spoke or well she spoke about because she's not she's not physically here with us anymore but she spoke about um objective self-interest we should all act in objective self-interest and this is check this out team so there's some people who believe they understand exactly what she means and there's some people who said who who perceive it as her saying hey she's telling us to be selfish that we should act in our own best interests at all costs even if it's to the detriment of the people around us we should do what's good for us and because of because of they have that mindset they don't believe in her philosophy but will you really think about it right if if we follow the covenant an eye for an eye a tooth for a tooth the golden rule do unto others as you'd have others do unto you don't throw stones in glass houses um in in in all of the other sayings that we've heard and we deem kind of positive the 10 commandments the bible all this stuff right the covenant is telling us how to act towards one another and we can't now this this whole conversation started with me talking about getting fired from uber eats team because i believe everybody we came here with the purpose and the reason why i was kicked off of that app two times is because i wasn't fulfilling my purpose this is the universe telling us and it's happened to you i know it has some of you has happened to you and you haven't realized it yet but later on you will and you'll think back to this moment if you've watched this video up until this point you'll think back to this moment and you should just subscribe right now because obviously i'm saying something that is appealing to you and you should go buy a mug too they're pretty cool especially if you if you want to learn the code get a mug if you don't want to learn the code go go to therealcassadero.com and get a shirt team but seriously though guys i would never have made this video if that didn't happen and this is what well this is what i'm here to talk about right like it for all of for everybody out there who's struggling and everybody's struggling with something if you're poor you have no idea what it's like to be rich none right unless you've been rich before but they may have problems bigger than yours and you don't know but you would you assume that because they have the money that problems don't matter to them but they're just a different kind of problem team there's some rich people out there that are like dude if i could get rid of all this stuff and just live a simple life i would but they can't they got too many people dependent on them you go out you start a business you go to to 300 people and now you got these people dependent on you for a paycheck and you don't believe anybody else can run this business and keep it going then you just built yourself a cage and that's what i was doing team i got out the army and i was i was headed to building myself a cage and i stopped and i said dude i don't want to do this i don't want to build a i don't want to live in a box where i'm responsible for all these people there's a better way to help people right business politicians think you help people by giving them stuff you don't help people by giving them stuff you you help people by giving them purpose direction and motivation you you help people by helping them figure out why they came here in the first place nobody came here just to live then die why why why be born so you could slave away for somebody else and then die team that's what i've been trying to figure out that's what that's what kept me in the army for 14 years and eight months trying to figure out what it means to be a part of an institution and why would somebody go down that path and there's a lot of people there's people who who who meant to go down that path i was one of those people team i was a good soldier i'm naturally physically fit that was that now when i think back right there was a fork in the road for me one one fork said hey go get rich and i i i was well on my way at 16 i was making good money building computers i was being exposed to people who are all about business and were all about money and were all about growing their net worth i went out on a job when i was 16 years old i made i made 300 dollars it was it was 329 dollars in two and a half hours working with the guy who owned a computer shop who hired me after i got fired from office max he hired me and he paid me cash under the table 25 bucks an hour and i left him to join the army and i haven't spoke spoken to him since i don't know where he is i don't know if he's alive or dead but that guy gave me a humongous opportunity changed my life he exposed me to the fact him and another guy there was another guy george used computers i used to go see george on a regular basis george is probably dead now but george used to sit in this little computer shop surrounded he had computers from the floor to the ceiling old computers ibms x86's you name it george had it he but he loved computers that was his thing man i don't have no idea what george's home life was like but me as a 16 year old i could go in there and i could have a conversation with george and he was happy to talk to me about computers he changed my life too these were two people who were just doing their things just living their lives man two gay guys i met my first job i had at a movie theater these two gay dudes started this theater and i'm pretty sure that they did that full time i met a guy jeff kanya we're friends on linkedin and jeff taught me how to run the lighting systems in the theater and i think jeff worked another job and he was working that job part time but i was young at the time i didn't understand money the way i do now i didn't understand why people will work two jobs or why you even have to work two jobs which is interesting because why don't we learn that in school why don't we learn about money why don't we learn how to make money like really make money we're taught to just go get a job and fortunately enough i made it from the south side of chicago from the ghetto where i spent my time with drug dealers and gangsters and wannabe gangsters and we talk about mass shootings and stuff like this i experienced mass shootings on the south side of chicago in 1995 there's people experiencing mass shootings in chicago right now right now while i'm recording this video but nobody talks about that because it's because like i said before team right i don't know if there's evil people out there right i don't know if there's one i don't even know if i talked about that in this video if there was somebody ruling this all but look man we are focused on the wrong stuff me i'm focused on making money right i was focused on go out and do this thing for this i got to make money of course right but what if the money that i want to make comes from me making this video or the next video or the one after that i don't know which one so i got to keep making them and it's the same for you team there is something you were sitting here to do something that you are supremely good at you might not be the best in the world but you're better than most and it comes naturally you feel comfortable doing it you feel you feel free and then there's probably you probably have a hobby something that you like to do to pass the time right maybe you like to put together puzzles or build stuff do yard work whatever right and then there's something that you just you're just talented in like you can just sit down and you can just do it like for like for me it was it's been computers right and i'm not like a computer genius is better than most that's been my talent and then i've had this obsession with software and software development and personal development and all this stuff and the thing that i that that comes easy to me is just speaking and the universe has been pointing me in this direction and it's been pointing you in this direction too team when we moved from chicago from the south side of chicago from the ghetto where all the mass shootings are not all of them school shootings i was in the school shooting when i was a kid it wasn't on the news nobody gave a shit we're just a bunch of little black kids on the south side of chicago getting shot at by other little black kids on the south side of chicago same place barack obama came from and it's the exact it's probably worse now my my i had a cousin got shot and killed same area same neighborhood right if we go if you go look at the statistics for the south side of chicago you'd be shocked man more people died there every year than than dude man and that's not that's just one that's one city we're talking about baltimore new york los angeles compton like all black communities where this stuff is happening every day and nobody says it's not on the news you don't turn on fox news and see people talking about this and i'm not saying that like society doesn't care because because it's black people or or people who live in the ghetto or poor people or whatever but maybe it is i don't know but at the same time we listen to what these people are telling us right they're promising us stuff and they're telling us the world is going to end but they're going to fix it somehow and look they're not going to fix it it's not going to change the jobs the jobs didn't didn't go away because of of of government or because of greedy business of business practices the jobs went away because of people following people who are telling them that they were going to give them something whether it be following it following an employer hey stick with me join join join our join our company family and give 20 years of your life to us until we decide to send all of all of our production to mexico and leave you here in detroit in the city that's dilapidated and destroyed we gave them that power team we gave them that power and we gave them that power because we listen to each other say hey right go out get a job follow this path the thing you were meant to do right and i'm not talking about passion some people it's not i'm not talking about passion team i'm talking about the thing that you just do like i don't i don't i don't i don't like software development for software development sake it's an addiction man i'm addicted to this stuff it's like crack for whatever reason and it frustrates me it's all confusing it's hard to learn but for whatever reason i cannot stop it's been impossible for me for my entire life the same thing with self-help and productivity books and this this quest to figure out what success means and i maybe i haven't figured it out yet but i know a part of the equation is figuring out who you are and then working for yourself and it doesn't have to be like some big grandiose gesture and you don't need another school or another boot camp or another class it's the 21st century we all have computers we all have smartphones all you have to do is look for the information and do a little bit every day and i'm making this video because i failed to do that now i'm here where i am now like i've got the subscribers in the youtube channel i've got people in my online in my online learn to code course it's not a boot camp it just it just walks people through the fundamentals that everybody else misses when it comes to the thing that i'm interested in like school maybe one day i'll make a school that walks people through the fundamentals of the fact that you don't need to have a job to be successful you just need to figure out exactly what success is for you and once you get to that one place that you deem to be successful you will know you'll have the confidence to know that you can get to that next place team so anyway i'm out of here figure out who you are i'll see you in the next video maybe we'll have some fun didn't you


Poly-33 ketone, peak, has been identified as a promising material for 3D printing due to its excellent mechanical properties. In this study, it was shown that peak exited superior mechanical properties compared to acrylonitrobutadiene styrene, ABS. Specifically, peak had higher tensile, compressive and bending strengths, while maintaining similar modulus of elasticity. Additionally, peak had better printing performance than ABS, with higher tensile strengths of up to 108%, suggesting that peak may be a viable alternative to ABS for 3D printing applications.


Climate warming is expected to induce treleens to advance to higher elevations. Empirical studies in diverse mountain ranges give evidence of both advancing alpine treleens and rather significant responses to climate change. The inconsistency of findings suggests distinct differences in the sensitivity of global treleen ecotones. This article was authored by Ushikov, M. Babrowski, J. Bonner, and others.


Innovations. We have time for one or two burning questions. Yes, Jean. Can we have the microphone? I just wanted to ask, is the diffusion of insects has to do with a ban on pesticide? Because you assume that it was related to climate change. From what I know, insects love water more than eat. So we had malaria in Europe in the 19th century. And malaria disappeared because we used insecticide. So what do you think of that point of view? Thank you. Maybe can I turn that question first to Antoine? And then maybe, Minister, would you like to add something? Antoine? Yes, thank you for this question, Jean. I think you're right. It's a complex issue and it's not just a question of climate change about the insect. What is not completely true is that the role of temperature is key. It depends on the vector. For anopheles, for instance, having warm temperature and flooding favor its propagation and proliferation. And we have seen, for instance, in the highlands of Zimbabwe, to take one example, when the mosquito was not able to proliferate where the capital is, is now a place due to the global warming which is prone to the vector proliferation. For the dengue mosquito, it is a bit another story because it's the warm weather and the dry conditions which favor, surprisingly or paradoxically, the proliferation of the mosquito. And because of the drought, you collect waters and you store the water close to your home and then the mosquito proliferates very close to you in the garden where you have this collection of dormant water for weeks. So it's a complex issue. It's not only a question of global warming, but global warming plays a leading role. Thank you, Minister. Thank you. And just very briefly to add to that, just to show the point, there are areas in the world that have eliminated malaria that are now seeing new locally sourced malaria. So for instance, in the United States of America, they're facing new cases of malaria caught within the country and not brought from another. That's a real example of implications of what we're talking about. Thank you. So with this, I see we're on time and I'd like to ask you to join me in thanking all our panelists for a fantastic session. Thank you all. Thank you.


You are not saying thank you to any god. Okay, please don't do this. If at all if you want to thank the somebody, thank that poor farmer who doesn't eat what he grows and gives it to you. We are not thanking any gods, we are not looking up and saying thanks for the daily bread, whatever. We are just bowing down to the food because we know how you treat the food accordingly it behaves within you. Today there is enormous amount of study which shows, for example, water. This water has enormous memory. If I just as much as look at it in a certain way, its molecular composition changes, not the chemical composition, but the molecular composition changes and it behaves differently. Lot of experimentation has happened about this and today they've come up with something called imploding water where some of you might have experienced this. Suppose you went to your waterfall and the water that is falling with great force, if you touch the water it feels silky. Have you ever noticed this? Yes? If it goes down two miles and then touch it, it won't feel like that. Only there it feels silky because the water is imploding into itself. Now they've created imploding machines, you can implode the water and you feed this water to your plants. With ten percent of irrigation you can get the same results. Simply because the water is imploded. These imploding machines which were made in UK, we are kind of getting them for the local farmers so that the water is imploded with minimal water you can grow the same crops because just changing the molecular composition changes so much. We've always known this. This is why why do you think people go to your temple and they're dying for the two drops of water because the water is supposed to have the memory of the divine supposed to be in touch with the deity and there is supposed to be memory and you take it and it's supposed to work. If this whole science is managed properly but today we don't know how it is in most of the places but the possibility of changing the how the water behaves within you just by treating it differently. Before drinking just bow down to the water, don't see it as a commodity, it's not a commodity. It is life-making ingredient. This is more important than your mother, father, your children, anybody, isn't it so? What is in this vessel right now? Please tell me, I want you to hear that. Yes. Yes, because if you don't drink it for one day, you will not want anybody. You want only this. No, we're talking about the real thing.  These are the life-making ingredients. Your life is made out of this. Just approach it differently. You will see your health situation, your sense of well-being, your stability, everything will be greatly enhanced. If you want to do proper practice of Bhuta Shuddhi, please come. We have elaborate systems of Bhuta Shuddhi. Probably nowhere else in the world right now these kind of systems are offered, but they will need a certain amount of preparation and absolute dedication to pursue that.
