If you've had any relation to cancer whatsoever, it's very likely that you read the book Emperor Volmalities, which is why I'm so excited that Dr. Siddhartha Mukherjee, who want to pull surprise for that, by the way, and is also the co-founder of Faith Therapeutics, is on my podcast, Target Cancer, where we talk about a new strategy on something that everyone's been waiting to hear and learn about. How does nutrition affect my cancer therapies and treatments and beating the cancer? Well, he looks at this directly, as well as Faith Therapeutics as a whole, who is now doing a lot of trials to see if I restrict certain amino acids. Can I inhibit the potential for cancer, especially pancreatic cancer? Can we remove those building blocks if they are preferential for that pancreatic cancer to grow? That's what Faith Therapeutics looks like, and we talk all about that. Diet, amino acids, the different kind of strategies and pieces required to make cancer controlled. It's never just one drug, one silver bullet, one therapy. It's a multi-modality treatment.


everything's all eroded around here yeah it's a beautiful vein in it that's probably about a 20 foot tall stope because this is the way we were going that way this is left as we're coming in it's got track although that looks like the main line because the track curves that way didn't it you want to take this right first okay right hand rule here's a ladder well this twist's all around in here doesn't it that's kind of the backside of that stope we were just looking at the 20 foot tall one what do we got there 100 cakes of bath size palm olive soap just what you need in a mine gentle on your hand so gentle you could soak in it and it's made in the USA yeah it's made in Kansas City cans they abbreviated it K-A-N-S well what do we have here ladder ladders looks like it's gonna go up too stope yep but I was thinking it might be an interesting mineral looking situation up here all right I'm so dirty now it's not gonna matter a little more you need every bit of those cakes of those palm olive cakes to wash up so there's almost flat well compared to what you're just on yeah I know that's back off the ladder I just came up it's in a stope a few stalls it works its way up to the loft I think I'll go a little higher here comes really kind of slippery around where that board is very slippery jack lull look at the big stoves around here hmm some big rocks some miners graffiti Tom we're up here in the stope I think box it's kind of cool here the way the joints are on the side I don't know what you call that joint like a I don't know big stope it's always down there underneath that square set type of stuff it was a big shaft here too of some sort but try it down the shaft there there's a big shaft down there I don't know where what that did it was lined and there's a water line going down in there so it must have done something and then there's a hole up here huh it's almost like there's a there might be a level over there there's some cribbing up here or like uh blocking the ladder over here that goes up into that area crazy place a big blue vein here some big rocks have come down this one right in front of me it is obviously it's about a five footer that one down there is crashed down that's bigger yeah it must have really been worried about that spot uh okay I'm way up in the stove I was looking out for a shoot backing out there's some uh load counts there Gilmore several counts um goes over this way too I'm not gonna crawl through there though so there was track up in the stove coming off that suit and water line too the track comes out this way this goes back the way I came pretty cool up here actually look at all this stuff they know just what they want to take don't they they don't want to take any more than they need to the tracks kind of buried right here but it it does come back out over here all this is falling on top of the track right below me and here it reemerges right here so it's a pretty unstable stope this is the end of the track there's Julie down there it's a long ways down there isn't it and this is this bunking or cribbing whatever you want to call it they must have been worried about this spot for some reason that's a lot of timbering right there all right well let's go somewhere else so that's looking behind me in the stove I was just looking down this water line it goes down here into a room so this is the water line I just followed down a little bit destruction in this little area look at the size of the boulders they've crashed on huge unbelievable the pipe ends right here I probably shouldn't be in here it looks pretty unstable look at this mess man that came crashing down and I wouldn't even want to really lean on that stuff oh look at it used to have an arrow here that said to go down here somewhere yeah it looks like there's a chute or something that was here okay that's the jumble that just came through there are ladders going up here also looks like there's somewhat of a level here I already peeked around the corner it seems to go running off in that direction to the right here there's a wood platform I'll be covering up something oh yeah covering up something there's a chute to the right until after I notice it ran off into the distance Julie stayed down below she kind of tired there's a junction let's see what's over here to the right another chute big chute and behind me looks like maybe some backfilled boulders all right let's go this way another ladder and then another chute over here a wood or chute number 80 open more ladders so this was the other way I came from I came from that way there's that wood platform I don't want to get mixed up I don't have my navigator with me Julie's got a better memory than I am which way we're going that's straight up there's a working platform up there I see another chute wood or chute in the distance here a little gobbling hole up there oh my god another ladder going down and then this is the end of the road here it's a ladder going down big heavy-duty ladder like a three by four I hear something down there it's Halloween too who knows what the pranksters are going to be up to today or the real ghosts all right well I could take a quick peek up these ladders over here the first ones I came to then I'm getting worn out for the day we're back to this bigger room colorful it looks painted but it's not that looks like a line of paint there doesn't it it's not though all right let's go up this ladder missing a rung or two here and there but I should be able to do it I'm back up to where I started yeah this looks somewhere here's the track yeah I'm gonna be going over here okay pretty sure this is the track I was just on I'm back up here again all right so there's Tom way up there on top of that stove he started over there and then popped up back here well guys that's gonna about do it for today Julia and I are worn out and dirty so from the both of us we thank you for watching the video we hope you enjoyed it and we'll see you on our next adventure back down through the stove we go


People are being passive-aggressive when they use indirect communications that have to be analyzed to figure out the meaning. Most of us are passive-aggressive at times, especially if we are feeling angry or frustrated, and are unable to express our thoughts clearly. But some people use passive-aggressive tactics deliberately in order to confuse, control, and even punish others. Here are 5 signs of passive-aggressive communications. Are any of these tactics familiar? Have they ever been used on you? 1. The Silent Treatment Has anyone ever stopped speaking to you or responding to your text messages? Maybe you had an argument recently and this person got upset. Now they are using the Silent Treatment to let you know that there is still a problem. 2. Subtle Insults You can't be sure when a subtle insult has happened. That's why it's called subtle. For example, you give your report to the boss who says, hey, this is great. This is the biggest surprise of my week. Why is the boss so surprised? Does that mean that your work isn't usually great? This is how subtle insults can work. They confuse people and undermine their confidence, especially when there is a power imbalance. 3. Procrastinating On Purpose You have probably asked someone to do a favor. They agree, and then they don't do it. You ask them again, and the answer might be, In a minute. But a minute later, nothing has happened. This type of procrastination can be a power move by someone showing you that they are in control of the schedule, and that you have no control over them. 4. Sabotage Sabotage comes from a French word that means to bungle. When people engage in sabotage, they deliberately mess things up for someone else. A person using this passive aggressive tactic might hit the wrong button and erase a presentation or stumble and drop the dessert you made. 5. Keeping Score Friends help friends because that's what friends do, right? Well, not a scorekeeper. These are people who keep track of all the favors they do for you. Remember, you owe me for this. And then they pay you back if you can't attend their party by missing your next party on purpose. If you use any of these passive aggressive tactics, try to be more clear and direct in your communication. Can you think of anybody who displays these five signs of passive aggressive communication? Let us know in the comments down below. As always, thank you so much for your ongoing support. It really means so much to us. Thanks for watching!


Namaste to all of you, today we are going to start a new course on financial accounting. I am very much excited to meet you all and I am sure at your end also you are excited to take the new course on financial accounting. This is a brief introduction about myself. I am Varadraaj Bapad, I am a chartered accountant and cost accountant, currently I am a faculty in finance at IIT Mumbai and I have teaching interests mainly in the area of accounting as well as to an extent in economics. I also have various research interests including in accounting, bankruptcy prediction, financial disclosures, financial inclusion, portfolio management, green accounting and so on. I am also interested in yoga, Brahma Vidya as well as Bharatiya Sanskriti, these are about my Facebook pages. For a more detailed study, I have written a book on financial accounting, a managerial perspective. This mainly caters to those who are interested in the study of accounting but tries to consider those students who may not have a commerce or accounting background but today are interested in accounting education. Now the course is mainly going to discuss about financial accounting and financial statements. We also have one more course on cost accounting which we will discuss about the accounting issues related to cost. You will need to submit various assignments in during the course, we will be discussing about as and when the assignment becomes due. So now we will start in this PPT discussion on comparison between financial cost accounting and then we will also learn about financial statements. Now for those who do not have accounting as their basic background, as far as the commerce and accountancy students are concerned, anyway this course is going to be very much relevant.  But as you move up the ladder, actually your management and financial expertise becomes more than more important. So accounting will be very much useful to you because it will help you to build your understanding of finances. It will also help you to analyze the performance of yourself as well as others which is very much important when you are in a managerial position. Now we will discuss a bit as to what is accounting. In simple terms, we can define accounting as a language of business where the performance is reported and evaluated in financial terms and if you are doing accounting properly, it leads to improvement in the efficiency which will ultimately maximize the profits. Accounting data is very much useful for planning, organizing and controlling of all business operations and even for non-business entities like government or NGOs. Now the knowledge of accounting is also useful for personal investment and tax planning decisions. Keep in mind that this course is not to make you an accountant.  So you may or may not be intending to be an accountant. You can be a doctor, you can be an engineer, you can be a manager, you can be a pharmacist but what this course enables you to is to understand some basic accounting and financial concepts.  And this course is mainly to make you understand those terminologies. Now there are three important streams of accounting. So we will discuss with trying to understand what are these streams. The first one is financial accounting, then there is cost accounting and there is management accounting. Now this particular course is on financial accounting. So we will be going into what is financial accounting more in details but right now we are just trying to differentiate the three main streams. So what financial accounting deals with is about recording of financial transactions. That is the first step, the next step is summarizing the transactions and the third step is reporting of the financial position. That is usually by preparing financial statements. Now briefly every business transaction needs to be recorded if it has some financial implication. Can you think of some business transactions? For example, you might purchase raw material, it is a business transaction, then you may do some processing, you may go for selling of a finished product. You may incur expenses on travelling, you may be charged by bank charges by the bank as an expense, you may receive interest. All of these are examples of business transactions and they need to be recorded.  So business or non-business but any transaction which has a financial implication needs to be recorded. So the first step in financial accounting is recording of every transaction. Next step is about summarizing the transactions. Almost all of you would have your own bank account. So you will be entering into various transactions with bank. I think you would have also seen passbook or a bank statement. Now what does the bank statement give you? Bank statement or a passbook is a summary of your transactions with the bank. Now bank is having lakhs of customers and they are having variety of transactions. They are also having apart from customers various investment and loan related transactions. But what they are doing is they are summarizing only the transactions related to a particular account holder and then they give you a passbook. So the second step is summarizing the related transactions. In this case if as a customer of a bank you get a summary of your transactions, it becomes useful to you. You are not interested in other transactions of the bank. Neither bank is authorized to pass you on the information of other customers. So they will just summarize the transactions about you. That is the second step and in case of so in this example it was a personal transaction for a particular customer. Same way bank will summarize the transactions about loans at one place, transactions about their assets at one place, transactions about their salary expenditure at one place. So they would be summarizing the related transactions in the second step. Those of you you are aware of the terminology is used in accounting. Normally the first step is called as journalizing or recording the transactions in the journal. The second step is called as preparation of leisure accounts. Now I am not using that jargon here. So to make it simple I have just tried to put two steps as recording of transactions and the second step as summarizing of transactions. Now in the third step reporting is done because you already have summarized the transactions now. Now at the end of accounting period, it can be one year or it can be at the end of the month what we are interested in knowing the final balances. So you may be wanting to know your profits, you may be wanting to know how much cash you have, you may be wanting to know how much bank deposits you have. So you want to have a final summary of the balances which represent your financial position. So in the third step reporting is done by preparing various financial statements. Keep in mind that the whole exercise of financial accounting is mainly for preparation of financial statements which are intended for external users. So financial statements are passed on to outsiders of the business. Now who can be external users? As you are aware most of the people have to file income tax returns. So along with income tax returns if you are a businessman you will need to give your financial position. So one of the users of financial statements are taxation authorities or government authorities. There can be various other users for example if you approach a bank for a loan, bank will ask you to submit your financial statement or a balance sheet. So they are also your external users. In some cases customers ask for some statement sometimes for vendor registration that is you want to be a supplier to a particular company that company asks for your financial statement. So even your customers or your suppliers become the parties who are interested in your financial statements then employees might be interested. So a variety of external users are provided financial statements in case of many entities like listed companies those financial statements are put in public domain. So they are available for anybody who is interested in those financial statements. Internal users mind well are equally interested that can be management or that can be your board of directors or your owners. But in general financial statements are meant to be available for external users. That is why I have said that financial accounting is targeted to external users. I hope you are getting overall understanding as to the process or the steps of financial accounting. Now let us compare with second stream of accounting that is cost accounting. Now when it comes to cost accounting these are the three important steps. The first is recording of cost. Now you can see it very well matches with the financial accounting because there also the first step was recording of financial transactions. Now it says recording of cost. The next one is analysis of cost and the third one is preparation of cost statements. Now you may be wondering that the first step in financial accounting which is recording of financial transactions appears to be very similar. Now it is recording of cost. So is it the same thing? Many times yes because most of the financial transactions may give you some cost and almost all the costs are financial transactions. For example, if you go out let us say to a restaurant then you will incur some expenditure it will be a financial transaction it will also be a cost to you. You might be paying rent, rent is a financial transaction it is also a cost to you. You might be paying salaries again it is a financial transaction it is also a cost. So many times almost all costs are covered in financial transactions then do you need the step again? You have already recorded there in financial accounting then why do you need to record? Actually the answer is you need to record more because in cost accounting you are recording with lot of more details. For example, in financial accounting you may be just recording the salary here you are also recording the time consumed on what work that particular employee is doing you are also might be recording more details about the nature of work. So the recording of cost is actually more detailed recording it further leads to analyzing the costs under different heads. For example, say manufacturing cost, production cost, marketing cost, admin cost and so on.  Keep in mind that cost accounting is primarily targeted to internal users. So this is a confidential data it is not given out to anybody it is mainly for internal users. So I hope you would have, I will just go back a bit. So now first we discussed financial accounting then we discussed cost accounting. We will not go into too much details of cost accounting because we are having a separate course on cost accounting where we will discuss further details about it. The third step in accounting or a third stream in accounting is known as management accounting. Now what is done in management accounting is it is a umbrella concept. Now you are recording both financial as well as other data you analyze the financial data with other data that leads to preparation of various statements which are mainly used for managerial decisions. Now this data again is a confidential it is maintained for decision making of various levels of management it is not given to outsiders. So it is targeted to primarily internal users. Now we have restated the streams so on one hand you have got financial accounting which is published normally in public domain for external users. On the other side you have got cost and management accounting many times it is together called as managerial accounting which gives you information on decision making and it is mainly for internal users. Now we will move to the next level. I hope you have understood the main streams of accounting. Now in financial accounting as you we have seen the final target is preparation of financial statements. Now let us look at these things that what do you mean by financial statements which are the important financial statements and what purposes these statements serve. Now the first thing what are the important statements? I think many of you might have heard about them or might have been aware about them. Do you think of different financial statements? I think most of you are right there is a balance sheet there is a profit and loss account there is a cash flow statement and there are more statements which are considered as financial statements. Any statement which gives you financial information in a summarized form is considered as a financial statement. What purpose do they serve? For example if you take balance sheet what do you get from balance sheet? If you want to know the financial statement of that entity that how well be that entity is, what assets they have, do they have any payables or liabilities all that information you will get from the balance sheet that is the purpose of balance sheet we are going to discuss in detail in coming slides as to what does the balance sheet give you. The next is profit and loss account as the name suggests it gives you profit or loss at the end of some year or a month it also gives you what were the major streams of income or revenue where have you spent all that money and finally what you are left fit in the form of profits at various levels that is what is provided by P and L account. We also have a statement known as cash flow statement because many times you are interested in knowing how much cash the business has generated and where it has spent what are the major sources of earning cash what are the major sources of spending cash or major sources of making investments and so on. So, that all is summarized in cash flow statement apart from that also there are some more statements like there can be fund flow statements, there are financial statements of subsidiary books, there are financial statements of a particular cash related transactions like say cash book. So, variety of financial statements are prepared and they can be in the category of financial statements. In this course we will mainly be talking about balance sheet, P and L account and cash flow statement in coming weeks. Now to put it in a very much of a layman language if you think of a company or for that matter any organization it needs some resources for doing the business. So, you have got resources resources are provided by somebody. So, there are also providers for resources. So, for any organization these resources and providers for resources need to always match. Now while doing the operations normally you follow a basic business model. So, you start with some money then you may have to do some procurement of raw material or procurement of essential items then these are consumed in your operations, you get finished goods they are delivered then you go for billing collect the money back. So, you are back to money. So, what circle we have is normally known as a money cycle it can also be called as a business cycle or as a value addition cycle because what we are trying is if you are starting with x amount of money it goes through the whole process you would like to have x plus amount of money. So, there should be some value addition in the form of generation of some extra cash this is a basic business model. Now it is supported by infrastructure and it is operated by people because there are people who are essentially running the whole system they are also the part of business model or business cycle. Now usually the costs are incurred in the beginning part when you go for procurement or consumption of your resources and as you deliver it to the customers you start recovering money and that generates what is known as revenue. Now a statement is prepared to compare the costs and revenue now what that statement will be I think most of you are guessing it right that is what is called as profit and loss account it compares your costs and revenue. Now if you want to be profitable normally you will need more revenues than the costs and if you are consistently profitable the business or the organization will become healthy and strong and it will also help you to last longer. Now this business model from this business model we will try to understand what is PNL and what is balance sheet. As we have just discussed a statement is prepared for comparing revenue and cost that is called as PNL account it gives you net result in the form of profit or loss. On the other side you make a statement which lists out your resources those resources are known as assets and there are providers for resources which are known as liabilities. Now your assets are further categorized as fixed asset so whatever infrastructure you have is known as fixed asset because infrastructure is of permanent nature it is not getting continuously consumed in your process it acts as a catalyzed catalysis catalyst it supports your process. Now there are assets which are continuously moving in your business cycle these assets are known as current assets. So we have got two major categories fixed assets and current assets that current those current assets are also sometimes known as working capital. Now can you think of any examples of fixed assets I think one very easy example which would have come to your mind is say land or building. So to run the business you will need some place in the form of building you will also thinking you might also have thought of fixed assets like say vehicles there can be computers within the computer you will need software. So hardware as well as software all these are examples of fixed assets. Now what could be the examples of current assets? Now current assets you can look at a money cycle and I think you will realize what could be the current assets. So when you do procurement you are purchasing raw material then whatever raw material remains in your hand as an inventory or as a stock that is one current asset then you might consume the raw material and generate finished goods some of the finished goods will be with you as a stock. Again the stock of finished goods is an example of current asset. The finished goods or whatever services you are providing are provided to the customers then customers may not pay you immediately there might be some balances which are to be collected from the customers. So those receivable balances are also your current assets whatever cash you have in hand or whatever cash you have got with banks with in the bank account all these are examples of your current assets. So fixed assets current assets these are the major examples of assets. Can you consider people as your assets? The answer is both yes and no because people or human assets are the most important assets for the business. This is the intellectual capital you have they are the people who are running the business. Unfortunately human assets are not permitted to be shown on the balance sheet. Can you think why they are not to be shown on balance sheet? Because human assets are not owned by the entity or by that business. They are just working there maybe as employees or as partners or owners but they are not the assets which are owned. So it is necessary that an item which is owned by that company or by that organization that can only be shown as an asset. Since people are not owned human assets are not shown as a part of balance sheet. That is why in the slide I have shown it but I have shown it below the balance sheet. Okay. So these all these assets together are the resources for the business. Along with resources you will need the providers for resources because resources cannot come for free. There would be somebody who have provided who have provided those. Then there are three four examples as you can see from the slide there is capital there are borrowings and there are current liabilities. Now what is a capital? Capital refers to the money which owners have put in. What are borrowings? Borrowing refers to the money which the lenders have given you. For example banks or financial institutions they have given you some amount of loan that is called as a borrowing. And what are current assets or current liabilities? The current liabilities are the monies which are being generated from the money cycle. For example if you have purchased something but not paid them then those outstanding balances or payables are an examples of current liabilities. So I think now at the first stage you would have seen what are the important items on asset side and on liability side of the balance sheet. So we will stop here and in the first session what we have discussed till now. First we understood what is accounting. Then we have tried to distinguish between financial accounting and management accounting. Financial accounting is mainly for external users and we are trying to record the cost and prepare statements. In cost accounting it is mainly for internal users we record costs and provide various financial statements. In the next part we discussed about financial statements. So we have discussed what is money cycle or business cycle and from business cycle how do you get P&L and balance sheet. In the next session we are going to continue this and go further into what is P&L and balance sheet. So I hope you have liked the first session. So please watch the second session as well. Namaste.


It's so good to have you home. What is it? Whatever do you mean? You have news. Bad news. What is it this time? I have just crossed over our threshold and scarcely spoken a dozen words and you suddenly realise something is amiss. We've been married for ten years and you think you can keep anything hidden from me? A woman just knows these things. I'm well too aware of that. Very well. Do you remember about four years ago when I returned home from Boston to tell you I had consented to my own ruin? Oh yes and my ruin as well and to the ruin of our children because you were chosen as a representative of Boston in the colony's house. Mind you I was chosen. I was not asked. I did not ask for it but I did believe it was my duty and I do also believe you burst into tears. Scarcely. I believe that I recovered quite quickly and told you well I am willing in this cause to run all risks with you and to be ruined with you if you are to be ruined. And I was grateful for your magnanimity. Those were times that tried women's souls as much as men's. And they still do John. But why are you recounting this to me now? Because I have consented to our further ruin. I have been chosen to represent Massachusetts in a continental congress to discuss our response to the intolerable acts. Finally it is about time. One moment you are happy about this? I'm more relieved than happy but probably nonetheless. It should have taken much less time and taxes than this to garner a response from all the colonies. I do not disagree with you. Of course you don't. You of all people have known and seen that the actions of the Parliament and the British Army upon Massachusetts are a reflection of their attitude toward all the colonies. When do you leave? We are to present ourselves in September. But I suspect we will leave in August if not sooner as there will be far too many unnecessary receptions and dinners we must go to along the way. But how far will you be travelling? Far away from home than I have ever travelled. To Philadelphia. For the Delphia? But you protest to a place you have never been to.  I pray you return safe. Oh I have read things as well that some of the delegates are bringing their wives. You could come with me. To Philadelphia? I think not. Besides who would tend to the farm? Henry Faxter? Who would instruct and care for the children? Your sisters? Who would gather money for this family? I presume they have not offered to pay you for your participation in this Congress? Not precisely no. Well then it is settled. I shall remain and collect your fees from your clients, tend to the farm and care for the children. You travel to Philadelphia and your unnecessary dinners and receptions. It is not something that I look forward to. Besides I shall have to care for children too. They are called Congressmen. We shall each have sacrifices to make if our liberties are to be respected. How else may I help? I shall likely need more white linen shirts and another suit. I have heard terrible things about the Philadelphia Laundresses and I don't want to find myself at their mercy for clean clothes. Done John, done. Naby and I will get to work immediately and we will have twelve white shirts and a new wool suit ready by the time you leave. Thank you my dear. No husband of mine will be subject to the nefarious business negotiations and shoddy laundering practices of the Philadelphia Wash Women. Let us find the children. It is time for supper and we will have to explain your impending travels to them. I know not where this will find you, whether upon the road or at Philadelphia, but wherever it is. I hope it will find you in good health and spirits. Your journey I imagine must have been very tedious from the extreme heat of the weather and the dustiness of the roads. We are burnt up with the drought having had no rain since you left us, nor is there the least appearance of any. I was much gratified upon the return of some of your friends from Watertown who gave me an account of your social dinner and friendly parting. May your return merit and meet with the grateful acknowledgments of every well-wisher to their country. Your task is difficult and important, heaven direct and prosper you. Our little ones send their duty to their papa and the gentleman their respects. And that which at all times and in all places evermore attends you is the most affectionate regard of your Abigail Adams. My dear, I received your kind letter at New York and it is not easy for you to imagine the pleasure it has given me. I have not found a single opportunity to write since I left Boston, accepting by the post and I don't choose to write by that conveyance for fear of foul play. I hope to find there some private hand by which I can convey this. The particulars of our journey I must reserve to be communicated after my return. It would take a volume to describe the whole. It has been on the whole an agreeable jot. We have had opportunities to see the world and form acquaintances with the most eminent and famous men in the several colonies we have passed through. We have been treated with unbounded civility, complacence and respect. The spirit of the people wherever we have been seems to be very favourable. They universally consider our cause as their own and they express the firmest resolution to abide by the determination of the Congress. The education of our children has never been out of my mind. Train them to virtue, habituate them to industry, activity and spirit. Make them consider every vice as shameful and unmanly, fire them with ambition to be useful. Make them disdain to be destitute of any useful or ornamental knowledge or accomplishment.  It is time for you, my dear, to begin to teach them French. Every decency, grace and honesty must be inculcated upon them. I have kept a few minutes by way of journal which shall be your entertainment when I come home. But we have had so many persons and so various characters to converse with and so many objects to view that I have not been able to be so particular as I could wish. I am with the tendress affection and concern. You're wandering, John Adams. The great distance between us makes the time appear very long to me. It seems already a month since you left me. The great anxiety I feel for my country, for you and for our family, renders the day tedious and the night unpleasant. The rocks and quick sands appear on every side. What course you can or will take is all wrapped in the bosom of futurity. Uncertainty and expectation leave the mind great scope. Did ever any kingdom or state regain their liberty when once it was invaded without bloodshed? I cannot think of it without horror. Yet we are told that all the misfortunes of Sparta were occasioned by their true great solicitude for the present tranquility and by an excessive love of peace. They neglected the means of making it sure and lasting. They ought to have reflected, says Polybius, that as there is nothing more desirable or advantageous than peace when founded in justice and honour, so there's nothing more shameful and at the same time more pernicious when attained by bad measures and purchased at the price of liberty. I have taken a very great fondness for reading Rollins' ancient history since you left me. I find great pleasure and entertainment from it and I have persuaded Johnny to read me a page or two every day and I hope he will, from his desire to oblige me, entertain a fondness for it too. I want to hear from you. I long impatiently to have you upon the stage of action. The first of September or the month of September perhaps may be of as much important to Great Britain as the Ides of March were to Caesar. Abigail Adams. My dear, I have written but once, well twice actually, to you since I left you. This is to be imputed to a variety of causes which I cannot explain for want of time. It would fill volumes to give you an exact idea of the whole tour. My time is totally filled from the moment I get out of bed until I return to it. Visits, ceremonies, company, business, newspapers, pamphlets, etc, etc, etc. The Congress will, to all present appearance, be well united and in such measures I hope will give satisfaction to the friends of our country. Dearest friend, five weeks have passed and not one line have I received. I had rather give a dollar for a letter by the post, though the consequence should be that I eat but one meal a day for these three weeks to come. Everyone I see is inquiring after you and when did I hear? All my intelligence is collected from the newspaper and I can only reply that I saw that you arrived by such a day. I know your fondness for writing and your inclination to let me hear from you by the first safe conveyance, which makes me suspect that some letter or other has miscarried, but I hope that you have now arrived at Philadelphia and you will find means to convey me some intelligence. But as to the movements of this town, perhaps you may not hear them from any other person. In consequence of the powders being taken from Charlestown, a general alarm spread through many of the towns and was caught pretty soon here. About eight o'clock a Sunday evening there passed by here two hundred men proceeded by a horse cart and marched down to the powder house from whence they took the powder and carried it to the other parish and there secreted it. I opened the window upon their return. They passed without any noise, not a word among them until they came against this house, when some of them perceiving me asked if I wanted any powder. I replied not since it was in such good hands. Abigail Adams. My dear, I received your very agreeable letter by Mr. Marston and have received two other letters which gave me much pleasure. I have wrote several letters, but whether they have reached you or not, I know not. There is much rascality in the management of letters now come in fashion that I am determined to write nothing of consequence, not even to the friend of my bosom, but by conveyances by which I can be sure of. The proceedings of the Congress are all a profound secret, as yet, except for two votes which passed yesterday, an order to be printed. You will see them from every quarter. These votes were passed in full Congress with perfect unanimity. The esteem, the affection, the admiration for the people of Boston and the Massachusetts which were expressed yesterday and the fixed determination that they should be supported were enough to melt a heart of stone. I saw the tears gush into the eyes of the old grave Pacific Quakers of Pennsylvania. You cannot conceive, my dear, the hurry of business, visits and ceremonies which we are obliged to go through. We have a delicate course to steer between too much activity and too much insensibility in our critical, interested situation. I flatter myself, however, that we shall conduct our embassy in such a manner as to merit the approbation of our country. In your last letter you inquire tenderly after my health and how we found the people upon our journey and how we were treated. I have enjoyed good health, as usual, much more than I know how to account for when I consider the extreme heat of the weather and the incessant feasting I have endured since I left Boston. The people of Connecticut, New York, the Jerseys and Pennsylvania we have found extremely well principled and very well inclined. Although some persons in New York and Philadelphia wanted a little animation, their zeal, however, has increased wonderfully since we began our journey. My dear, I am very well yet. Write to me as often as you can and send your letters to the office in Boston or to Mr Cranshers, where they will be sent by the first conveyance. I am anxious to know how you can live without government, but the experiment must be tried. The evils will not be found so dreadful as you apprehend them. Frugality, my dear, frugality, economy, parsimony must be our refuge. I hope the ladies are every day diminishing their ornaments and the gentlemen too. Let us eat potatoes and drink water. Let us wear canvas and undressed sheepskins rather than submit to the unrighteous and ignominious domination that is prepared for us. John Adams sitting down to write to you is a scene almost too tender for my state of nerves. It calls up to my view the anxious distressed state that you must be in amidst the confusions and dangers which surround you. I long to return and administer all the consolation in my power, but when I shall have accomplished all the business that I have to do here, I know not, and if it should be necessary to stay here till Christmas or longer in order to affect our purposes, I am determined patiently to wait. Hmm, I shall be killed with kindness in this place. We go to Congress at nine, there we stay, most earnestly engaged in debates upon the most abstruse mysteries of state until three in the afternoon. Then we adjourn and go to dinner with some of the nobles of Pennsylvania, and at four o'clock we feast upon ten thousand delicacies and sit drinking Madeira, claret and burgundy until six or seven, and then go home fatigued to death with business, company and care. Yet I hold it out, surprisingly. I drink no cider, but feast upon Philadelphia beer and porter John Adams. I have just returned from a visit to my brother with my father who carried me there the day before yesterday and called here in my return to see this much-injured town. I view it with much the same sensations that I should, the body of a departed friend, only put off its present glory for to rock the earth. Should the body of a departed friend only put off its present glory for to rise finally to a more happy state, I will not despair, but will believe that our cause, being good, we shall finally prevail. The maxim in time of peace, prepare for war, if this may be called a time of peace, resounds throughout the country. Next Tuesday they are warned at Braintree, all above 15 and under 60, to attend with their arms and to train once a fortnight from that time. It's a scheme which lays much at the heart of many. Abigail Adams My dear, there is a great spirit in the Congress, but our people must be peaceable. Let them exercise every day in the week, if they will, the more the better. Let them furnish themselves with artillery, arms and ammunition. Let them follow the maxim which you say they have adopted in times of peace, prepare for war, but let them avoid war if possible, if possible, I say. My dear, I am wearied to death with the life I lead. The business of the Congress is tedious beyond expression. The assembly is like no other that ever existed. Every man in it is a great man, an orator, a critic, a statesman, and therefore every man upon every question must show his oratory, his criticism and his political abilities. The consequence of this is that business is drawn and spun out to an immeasurable length. I believe if it were moved and seconded that we should come to a resolution that three and two make five, we should be entertained with logic and rhetoric, law, history, politics and mathematics concerning the subject for two whole days, and then we should pass the resolution unanimously in the affirmative. The perpetual round of feasting, too, which we are obliged to submit to, make the pilgrimage more tedious to me. Adieu, John Adams. My much loved friend, I dare not express to you at 500 miles distance how ardently I long for your return. I have some very miserly wishes and cannot consent to your spending one hour in town till I at least have had you for twelve. The idea plays about my heart, unnerves my hand whilst I write, awakens all the tender sentiments that years have increased and matured, and which, when with me, were every day dispensing to you. The whole collected stock of ten weeks absence knows not how to brook any longer restraint, but will break forth and flow through my pen. You will receive letters from two who are as earnest to write to papa as if the welfare of a kingdom depended upon it. If you can give any guess within a month, let me know when you think of returning to your most affectionate. Abigail Adams. John, I'm so happy you're home. I thought your travels would be much longer though. I was able to return in half the time as I was not stopped in every town by fanfare and foreing. Well, now that you are away from all those people, you can tell me what you could not write to me. Oh, this Congress sounded exhilarating. He was exhausting. But you wrote that everywhere people shared in the common cause, that people said they would abide by the determination of the Congress. That would require the Congress being able to determine anything. This Congress, much like America itself, is a slow, unwieldy body and its progress must be slow. But the esteem of the people? Oh, all began well with calls for unity and harmony and it very quickly turned to ruin. Fifty wise and well-read men bickering over seating and procedure and the prospect of prayer before Congress. It began with hopes for a calling of a list of grievances and then John Galloway speaking for the need of a Continental Council, which sounded even more useless than the Congress itself. The call for a Declaration of Rights. And then the call for a humble petition to our King. The attempt at an embargo and then every colony seeming to ask that it would not apply to them. It was miserable. I would have taken a hundred more letters from you. And I would have written them if my time were not filled with papers and pamphlets and papers and meetings and feasting. It sounds like your day was not nearly as full as your stomach. It was misery, tables full of sweet meats and syllabubs and soups and jellies and fruits and wines. Oh, yes, it sounds dreadful. But it was hardly to my liking. You know I prefer hearty New England fare. I would have taken your boiled dinner over the finest meal in the country. How kind of you. That was meant better than it sounded. Of course it did. Now, where are my entertainments, you promise? Ah, yes. I am so sorry. I wished I could have written more in my journals, but... Well, yes, you're such a busy man. Yes. What is it now, John? Whatever do you mean? You're looking a bit sheepish, as if you have something unpleasant to announce. Remember, a wife knows these things. I will likely have to return to Philadelphia in the spring of next year. The business of the Congress is not nearly finished. Well, I never expected the resolution of our conflicts with Great Britain to be accomplished in a matter of weeks. Let the preparations begin anew. At least we will have more time to plan ahead, and I already have all the shirts I need. Well, that reminds me, if or more likely when you go back to Philadelphia, I do wish you could send back a card of pins. Pins, madam? Yes, sewing and dressing pins. With the New England ports so restricted, we cannot find pins for sale, and the ladies of New England are going to start falling apart without them. Philadelphia's a more open city. Surely you can send home a bundle of pins, and maybe some smuggled tea. I will see what I can do, my dearest. Thank you, John.


The Nigerian Hunters and Forest Security Service in Adama state has vowed to flush out criminals hiding in forest reserves across the country. The commander-directorate of the hunting and forestry of the Nigerian Hunters and Forest Security Service Aisha Bakari-Gumbiz said they were not in competition with other agents but were out to complement the jobs of securing the forest. She assured of providing intelligence to support ongoing effort to read the state of banditry. For his part, the Lamido of Adama express confidence in the Hunters especially in food, production and security. So far those that are within our communities I hope and I pray that God will give us a strength and opportunity to cooperate and fight the corrupt people that are among us. That is why the legislative kind is very good to form this type of organization. When the bill was presented to the legislator in fact we don't have any problem because they know our function, it comes from security. First reading, second reading, third reading and now it is before you excel as the president or ascent. So if it is ascented too we are now full fledged.


Do we early spark? Nah. Early spark is for chomps. The reeds! I'm the chomp. Yo, that's great. That's awesome. How's it going everybody? Dato Doi here back again with some more Dragon Ball Fighters ranked matches and this is actually a first for the channel because I have never once played up against an Ultra Instinct sign. I don't know if that's higher or lower than the highest rank I've ever played, which is Blue Vegeta. I don't know how to put that in a better word. Super Saiyan Blue Evolution. But I've never played up against this particular rank. Also, I really like his team. Cooler specifically is speaking to me. He's dive-ticking way more than me when I play Cooler. Oh, nice. Oh, unfortunate. Sorry, I was trying something a little freaky there. I don't even know how to explain what I was going for, but rest assured it was not normal. Nah, I tried something. I wanted to see if you would mix me there. Just in case I mashed, you know, that's the Bardock Goku GT Instincts coming out. Down tech. Nice switch. I almost switched myself. Bad beams, dude. I have a real problem with beams in this game where I just...  Okay, guard cancel out. Oh, that was close. Switch. I kind of panicked there, so... Oh, what are you doing, buddy? Nice. This is a great set. This is a great match. Got me. And he did the 3-8. Oh, dude, that was sick. Covered that option really well. Gotta tech those. I have to tech those. Doesn't matter how much you block if you can't tech a dragon rush. And that is the sad fact of my defensive life. It does not matter how much you block if you can't tech a dragon rush. Okay, I should just hang that up on my wall. Wake up to it every... Oh, reads. Okay, so we've got reads now. You figured out two things. I'm a jumpy dragon ball player and I can't tech dragon rushes.  Jeez. I'm Goku GT, baby. We're GT players. Too slow. I was too slow, right? Too slow. Too slow. Doesn't matter because I still get the pressure. Ah, well, I could have gotten pressure. Just some top tier things, baby. Just because I don't play the top tier often doesn't mean I can't appreciate the fine cuisine. But I'm definitely playing like some kid's cuisine tier material. Okay, that's fine. I still got Super Saiyan Goku. A comeback's not out of the realm of possibility. I mean, it is, but that 6M felt a little extra fast. Also, don't mind the dragon rush. I don't know why that happened. One bar, two bars can kill. All right, this game's over, but we're heading into the next one with optimism, dude. Not optimism, but excitement. I like matches like this. And it didn't go above two frames the whole time. Perfect. Those are my kind of yo. What up, dude? Let's get it. I'm gonna just go in. No, I'm not gonna go in actually. Okay, get down there. I should have done it. I should have done something wild. Oh, no, I should have done full auto. Get him back into the corner. Big mistake on my part. Does he switch me out? Yeah, let's get the snaps going. That's a fast command grab. I was in no mind state to jump. Was it gonna do hard knockdown? That's probably what I would do. Switch. We're back on the grind. I'm out. Come on, dude, I gotta I'll take it. I'm sorry, but I am just the stupidest player alive. Wow, I didn't even block. I tried flash fist. All right, we can get 16 back out and then just kind of medium here. Wow, I'm just flabbergasted that we didn't die there. Okay, I've made a lot of drops this round, but man, I'm flabbergasted that we didn't receive a punishment there. I don't even remember what exactly happened, but we definitely got cheesy. It was definitely cheesy. Okay, I could see him level three with like, yeah, trunks. I was thinking maybe cooler, but no tech. Oh, no. Oh, we lost our most valuable character. Okay, okay. Whoa, I was gonna go for an overhead. I was definitely going for an overhead. I was spotted coming a mile away down tech. There we go. That's what I like to see. In fact, I kind of want him in the corner. I ran out of sparking. Oh, okay, there was a clear flaw in my plan. A clear flaw in my plan. I had, I thought I had sparking. I was ready for the super dash stuff. Level one. Okay. I don't mind that too much. I'm popping up. Don't ask me why I did that, because I don't know. Oh, why did I not let him take corner? That's fine. Switch out. Let, let Bardock heal. I know we're losing a beam assist here, but honestly, it's fine. Not honestly. Okay. Got him with the overhead. Got him with the overhead. Still, man, the cooler, cooler's voice actor is so good. Nice sliding. Not yet. That made the audience seem like it was off. One too many two ends. Come on, three was too much. Oh, why am I so bad at this game? Okay, level three. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Understandable, understandable. Okay. Okay. Do I be a Bardock player?  But do I do am I not a Bardock player at heart, baby? Oh, come on. I could have won the game off that Bardock. We're going to have problems. Dude, get off the table. Get off the table, Gohan. It's too late for us. Oh, wait. Hey, maybe that was too slow. Oh, no. Oh, it's so close. Okay. I made a lot of mistakes that round. Man, what a great set though. Great set. Great set. Let me get another. Let me get another. It will not stop until I am zero three. I back up this time. I am so dumb.  I blocked it at least. At least I can say I'm grateful I blocked that. The two key blasts that usually hit me. Oh, that DP caught me by surprise. What? That hit him with the beam property. I should have. Oh, I should have quarter circle forward medium. That would have been sick. Dude, I like living. I like going back to what I could have done. I don't have the reaction to have to do it real time. Okay. I just got to appreciate the 6M. I just got to appreciate the 6Ms. Down we go. We're going to get cooler here probably for a decent chunk. He might do the safe setup. Yeah. The safe setup is there. Safe setup is there. I still can't take a dragon rush. Okay. Still can't kill. Okay. Do we early spark? Nah. Early spark is for chomps. The reeds. I'm the chomp. That was sick. Oh, that was so nice. I try to run up into him. I try to be a little nice as well. I try to get nice. Okay. Oh, bad combo. It's fine. Let's get the beam assist back, let Bardock do the talking. We got a three-way mix. Not really, but we got a couple options we can choose from. Okay. I like it. 6M.  Getting caught by everything regardless of what's actually going on. Can he kill? Yeah, he can kill. It might be close actually. It might be close. Nah, we're dead. That was really close though. Okay. Super Saiyan Goku level three sparking. Wow. I do not really value the range of that. In my head, I was like, even if that, he does that. I don't think that's far. No spark? That's heartbreaking. Oh, thank you. What a fine gentleman, dude. I take it back. No, but really, I do appreciate the chance to spark. Android 16. Why would you do that? All right. That was a great set. I want one more. If we can get one more, I'll take one more. Please, please give one more. Please give one more. Yes, just a touch more. Can I just get a touch? I forgot about the beam properties. Oh, that was nice again. We're back in it. I tried something. I actually am okay with that. I'd be lying if I said I wasn't a Bardock player extraordinaire, like I said, never made a single mistake in my career. Yeah, followed by a quick mistake. I let him get too away from my, uh, my hits. No, I couldn't get another low off. Back there. Let's go. Oh, I don't know the range on that. Okay. Well, we block both the keyblast. That's pretty cool. Right? That deserves like a little reward. I'm definitely going to bask in Robbins after this. Oh, the succotude begins anew. We were playing pretty clean until all of a sudden, a couple of minutes ago, I turned off my brain. All right. He won't be able to kill here, which is good because I really want Bardock Goku GT to live. I thought, I knew, I knew that was obvious, but I was like, man, did he mess up going for two? Okay. Six M again. I got a block. Okay. Before this game ends, I want to block a six M and I want to take a dragon rush. It's my bucket list at this point. Okay. We keep him out. Yeah, we keep him out. Right. He didn't try to go for anything fancy. Okay. Big mistake by me then. I'll have to waste two bars though. Who's coming out trunks? Obviously. He has the most health. Damn it. I wish it was 16 though. Somebody I could kill in a combo. All right. All right. All right. All right. No. No, no, no, no, no. Please drop it. Nah, I didn't get dropped. Darn, dude. We've lost so many characters to that, just messing up. Drop. And I fell right into his loving arms. At least, at least I didn't hit my back on the concrete. Again, it wouldn't be impossible to make this come back. That's a cooler. It could have been a no bar cooler, which is not tight to me. Probably should have thought about the logistics of that, but that's a sliding. We are in business. All right. This one's a sliding. He messed up big time. All right. All of a sudden he's messing up on wake up scenarios. I like it. I like it. Now he's going to try to read me. No, he read me again. He knows I don't like that dashing maneuver. No, no, no. Oh, it all came down to one block and I couldn't hit it. Oh, dude, what a pivotal moment. Wait, wait, what? I try to wake up level three. I live that. Okay. Well, that's going to be the whole set. Man, what a game though. I love those kind of games. Hopefully you guys do as well.

Honourable Chairman, Secretary-General ITU, Directors of the ITU Bureau's Excellencies, Ladies and Gentlemen, Good evening and Assalamu Alaikum. Mr. Chairman, on behalf of the Government of Pakistan, let me at the outset extend my warm felicitation to you on your appointment. We also commend Secretary-General Hauline Zhou and his team for their outstanding contributions, achievements and commitment over the past years. I wish to also thank the Government of UAE for its hospitality and continued commitment to support development of ICTs. Ladies and gentlemen, cognizant of the recent developments and immense potential of ICT, our policy is very much aligned with the vision of ITU. We believe that this would contribute significantly towards provision of quality services, education, employment, opportunities and women empowerment in the ICT sector. Ladies and gentlemen, Pakistan was perhaps the first country to pledge itself to implementing the Sustainable Development Goals. Our commitment towards connecting the unconnected digital inclusion and bridging digital gender divide remains unwavering. The ICT landscape of Pakistan is now characterized by robust infrastructure, availability and universal access to high-speed broadband, increasing trend of ICT, application usage, high-skilled IT professionals, innovative startups, incubation centres for startups and a thriving public-private partnership. Ladies and gentlemen, Pakistan has witnessed a phenomenal rate of growth of broadband from less than 3% in 2014 to over 38% now among the total mobile users. This has paved the way for innovation and introduction of new portfolio of digital service, creating a new paradigm of opportunities for the people of Pakistan. Ladies and gentlemen, the Government of Pakistan has taken concerted steps to narrow down the digital divides and towards providing equal opportunities to all. The Universal Service Fund, under the guidance and support of Ministry of IT and Telecom, has been relentlessly and transparently serving the cause by creating new opportunities for the unconnected communities through specialized infrastructure development in the remote and underserved parts of the country in the past decade. Ladies and gentlemen, gender equality and women empowerment has been an integral part of our national policies to realise the potential of women as contributor towards the socio-economic uplift of the country. By virtue of the ICT for Girls programme, more than 200,000 girls and young women are being empowered through training of special coding and communication skills nationwide to enhance their skillset and scope of employment. Ladies and gentlemen, Pakistan has been blessed with a highly skilled IT human resource, specialized in various high-end IT application development and IT-enabled services. Today, we are considered as a preferred destination for business process outsourcing. One of our key performing verticals is the free-lensing community, which is currently the fourth largest outsourcing hub, as reported by independent international observers. Ladies and gentlemen, Pakistan is very keen to continue participating with ITU and its member states to take forward the development agenda. We see matters like data protection, online rights, blockchain technology, artificial intelligence, cloud, robotics and fintech as agents of change. With support of strategic partners like ITU, we can ensure early adaption and dissemination of these technologies. We also believe in proactive consultation at all levels so that upcoming technologies, trends support the global community in the best possible manner. Pakistan has a long history of significant contribution to the work of ITU and in promoting its mandate. Pakistan has been a member of ITU Council and the Radio Regulation Board for several tenures. During our current tenure of ITU Council, Pakistan has been advocating and contributing towards implementation of sustainable development goals at every relevant forum. Pakistan is a candidate for reelection to the ITU Council in this plenipotentiary conference with a firm belief and pledge that our commitment to promote and develop ICTs will continue with more vigor than ever. We also look forward to strengthening collaboration with member states to further collective agenda at ITU. In the end, I would like to once again thank our host and commend the ITU Secretariat for the excellent arrangements and wish everyone a successful conference and fruitful discussion. Thank you, Mr. Chairman.

Stevenson gets the 4-0 win over Goucher tonight, Glenn Clark with head coach Morgan Bitting. Coach, pretty good effort from your team throughout this one. What did you make of what you saw from your squad? Yeah, very proud of the way that we played tonight and loved that we were able to honor our seniors with the way that we played and just, you know, the fact that we played Stevenson Field Hockey tonight was fun to see. Let's talk about those seniors. It was senior night here at Mustang Stadium. I'm going to begin with your goalie, Jamie Fritz, as a new head coach, getting to know a group. How important has she been for her leadership, not just on the field, but even off the field, as you have come into this program? Yeah, I mean, Jamie is very, very special to this program.  So very grateful for her contributions throughout her four-year career, but especially since I've taken over since March. She's just been someone that I feel like I've been able to lean on. And like I said, we just all really appreciate Jamie. She wasn't the only senior we honored tonight. Tell me a little bit about Madison. Yes, Madison. You know, she does a lot behind the scenes for us, but as you can hear, you know, her teammates are cheering her on right now and just love what Madison's done for our program. She always brings a positive attitude, good energy, and just appreciate what she's done. Great way to send off the seniors tonight. Coach appreciate it. Good luck on Wednesdays to wrap up the regular season. Thank you very much. She's Morgan Bitting. I'm Glenn Clark. Go MustangSports.com
