Recent interest in mushrooms and their components as potential therapies for mental health, along with recent government and health authority approvals, has necessitated a more comprehensive understanding of their effects on the cellular microenvironment of the brain. Ammonite muscaria has been ingested as a treatment for a variety of ailments for centuries, most notably those affecting the central nervous system and conditions associated with neuro-inflammation. However, the effects of these extracts on neuro-inflammatory cells, such as microglia, are unknown. The effect of commercially sourced F muscaria extract AMEV1 on human microglial cell line, HMC3, expression of surface receptors such as CD86, CXCR4, CD45, CD125 and TLR4 was determined by flow cytometry. AMEV1 a pregulated expression of all of these receptors. The effect of AMEV1 on HMC3 production of IL-8 and IL-6 was determined and compared to tumor necrosis factor, TNF, polyanacinic polycytodilic acid, poly.

Chicago's Latino community, vibrant, colorful, diverse. Hello, I'm Chaplain Dean with the Chicago Police Department. This is the latest in a series of videos to expand your knowledge and understanding of the many diverse communities within our city. Having even a basic knowledge of a person's customs and culture enables police officers to conduct their duties in a more efficient and respectful manner. Chicago's Latino community comes from three main geographical areas, the Caribbean, Mexico, and Central America. Today we examine the people who come to Chicago from the Caribbean, most notably the islands of Puerto Rico and Cuba. The main way that the Cubans differ from the other Hispanic subcultures that are in Chicago is that most of the other subcultures came to the United States for economic reasons, whereas the Cubans came fleeing communism. And most of the Cubans that came to Chicago came as political refugees. And the number was probably 35,000, 40,000 in the 70s and early 80s. Then many of the Cubans slowly were moving back to Florida and the Cuban population in Chicago and in the metropolitan area diminished tremendously. And while the Cuban population still has a presence in Chicago, it continues to dwindle. The Puerto Rican population on the other hand continues to grow. Puerto Ricans now represent Chicago's second largest Latino community. Puerto Rico is a territory of the United States, so that it is its own country with its own identity, its own culture, but it belongs to the United States. Whether you're born on the island of Puerto Rico or here in Chicago, you're citizens of the United States. The heart of Chicago's Puerto Rican community is Humboldt Park. And the heart of Humboldt Park is a stretch of Division Street known as Pasea Borrecois, identified by gateway sculptures of the Puerto Rican flag. It's not necessarily an attempt to separate ourselves from, but it's really to create a gateway into the community so that both Puerto Ricans, second, third, fourth, fifth generation Puerto Ricans that are here can learn about themselves from their own vantage point but also at the same time non Puerto Ricans, non Latinos, can come in into this gateway and learn about the Puerto Rican community through its food, through its culture, the sounds. The more police and others learn about Puerto Rican culture, the less likely they are to buy into what some Puerto Ricans say are common stereotypes. Not all young people are possible affiliates or not all young people are gang members. So it's just a matter of plugging in for variables, right? Yeah, with young people that's the main thing and I think the police needs to remember that most young people are not involved in gangs. There's also a sense among Puerto Ricans that some police lack respect for their people and their culture. The lack of respect. People are fearful of calling upon the police to come over and help them because they feel when the police come to address any need that they have, they come with a suspicion with that particular individual who even calls the police to come over and serve them. My message, if there would be any message to the officers, and this is all officers across the board, is to find out about the Puerto Rican community and the easiest way is to come to Paso Boregoa, come to Division Street, find out what the food is about, come to some of the community activities. Summon the Humboldt Park communities think police are confused by the tradition of Puerto Ricans gathering outside their homes or storefronts. In Puerto Rico, that's how people socialize. People are accustomed to be outside in the island. They just walk out. They're friendly. The people get up in the morning, they walk out, they talk to the neighbors and most of the time they spend it outside, not inside their homes. If you go by Humboldt Park in the summer, you will see whole families out in front, multi-generational. The grandparents sitting down with the great grandparents as well as with the parents in the evenings or during the day. That doesn't necessarily mean they're just waiting for a customer or waiting for something to happen. They're just spending time together. That's a custom that we have in Puerto Rico. And the other aspect which is very interesting about the island is that you don't speak softly or quietly.  Everyone is around. So whenever you're talking, you call, Mira está muchacho, ven para acá. You're talking kind of loud. Puerto Ricans have great respect for their elders. Often, when talking to elders or people in a position of authority, young people will look down or away while speaking. People may be reluctant not to look in the eye, not because they're drunk or because their eyes are going to show that they have been smoking marijuana or something like that, but rather out of respect or fear. Language barriers exacerbate fear. Many Puerto Ricans are bilingual, but others speak limited English. Adults may depend on their children to translate. As a matter of fact, in many cases when we talk about language, sometimes children are the ones that help to translate. You can see maybe an older man or an older woman taking a child at 10, 12 years old to the bank to translate when they want to go to open an account. Although Puerto Rico is a territory of the United States, some things that are legal in Puerto Rico are not legal. In many cases, a good referral to a social service agency by the policeman will solve the problem. Arride and trying to take that person to the station and book that person and make that person feel that there is a criminal. For someone who doesn't understand what's happening, it's a chaotic situation, at least having the sense that this is a person who is not here to harm me or hurt me will somewhat ease the situation. We've covered some of the unique aspects of Chicago's Puerto Rican and Cuban communities. Remember, all of the people we encounter on a daily basis expect to be treated with dignity and respect. It is our hope that this video will serve to enlighten and foster a new awareness and understanding. Thanks for watching, and as always, stay safe.


Around Dodge City and in the territory on west, there's just one way to handle the killers and the spoilers, and that's with a U.S. Marshal and the smell of gun smoke. Gun smoke, starring William Conrad, the story of the violence that moved west with young America, and the story of a man who moved with it. I'm that man, Matt Dillon, the United States Marshal. The first man they look for and the last they want to meet. It's a chancey job, and it makes a man watchful, and a little lonely. Marshal Dillon? Oh, come on in, son. I'm looking for Doc. Oh, Doc's office is upstairs. I've been there, been everywhere. Is it somebody sick? My pa told me to bring him out to our place. Well, is it your pa that's sick? He wants to dock bad, Marshal. Well, who is your pa, son? Ben Pitcher. You've been Pitcher's boy? My name's Jerry.  I know. He hates doctors. He don't believe in them. But he wants Doc to come, Marshal. Told me I had to find him. I've looked everywhere. I'll go with you. Well, you don't have to go.  When your pa sends for a doctor, something's really wrong. Come on. How do you like riding in a buggy, Matt? Make you feel important? Sure it does, Doc. But the way you drive, it feel a lot safer on a horse. You'll get used to it. Oh, I hope not. Hey, don't see anybody around, man.  I'd expect most anything of Ben Pitcher.  Not him. Not Pitcher. Well, we'll find out soon enough. You doing out here, Marshal? I just came along to keep Doc company, Miss Pitcher. Oh. Where's the boy? Jerry said he'd tell you he'd be along directly. Why didn't he come back with you? He said that you gave him a list of stuff to buy while he was in town. Oh, I forgot. Yeah, sir, we're wasting time. Where's Ben, Miss Pitcher? He's over there. Over where? In the barn. What you doing in the barn? You ask him, Doc. I don't interfere in my husband's way of doing things. Wow, that woman could fare drive me crazy, man. Yeah, maybe that's what happened to Pitcher. Now, between the two of them, it's a wonder the boy's made out at all. Jerry seems okay so far. If they have their way, they'll make a spook out of him, yeah. I could, all right. Pretty good barn he's got here. Yeah. Doc, I'll go on first, huh? What? You follow me. Hey, Pitcher. Hey, Pitcher. I'm back here. Oh. Over here in this stall. I thought it was Doc. He's here, Pitcher. What are you doing in there, that cow? I thought you were sick. I ain't sick, Doc. Well, who is he? Macau. Well, Macau's got the colic or something mind on everything I can for him. You mean you had me come all the way out here to Dr. a cow? Well, I sure wouldn't let you Dr. no humans, but a cow is different. I don't mind so much you working on a cow. Oh, you don't. No. Humans can get well by themselves, but cows is helpless. They're kind of pitiful. I ought to kick you right in the head, Ben, Pitcher. If you're so smart, do something for my cow before she dies, Doc. Ah. All right. I'll look at her. You sure don't deserve it, Ben. You ain't doing it for me. You bet I'm not. I'll get out of the way and let me in there. Ten men. Men. Medics. Medics. Medicare. Medicare. Medicare. Oh, excuse me, sir. What are you doing? Oh, I'm a memory expert. I'm committing a fact to memory. Oh? What fact? Ah, oh, now you see you made me forget. Oh, maybe we can bring it back. You mentioned Medicare. Does it have to do with medical care for dependents? Yeah, that's it. My boy just turned 10, and I'm on my way to get him an ID card so he can use it for things like the Dependents of Medical Care Program. Every dependent over 10 years of age should have an ID card. Oh, that's an excellent reminder, Mr. Oh, you can just call me, uh, call me anytime you need help with memory problems, Stella. Now, which way was I going when you came up? Your information, get the Pamphlet Dependents Medical Care Program. What's she doing in there all this time, Marshall? Leave him, babe, then. He'll let us know if he wants any help. Hmm? I guess she's through. How's my cow, Doc? Here's your knife, then. Did you stick her with it? I didn't. She's gonna feel a lot better. You can give her all the water she wants, but don't let her eat anything for a day or two. Is she gonna live? I don't know, Ben.  I wouldn't take money from you anyway. What's wrong with my money? It's not your money. It's you. What do you mean? Hey, Pa, I'm back. I've got all the stuff, ma'am.  Oh, Doc, Marshall. Jerry. Hey, Doc, you missed all the excitement. Yeah, what's up? It happened just after you left. Everybody was running around looking for you. What happened, Jerry? On this hill. She was walking down the street, and I guess the sun was too much for her or something. Anyway, she kind of fainted like, and she fell against the window right there at the general store, and it cut her arm real bad. Nobody could get it to start bleeding. They couldn't. No. That's why they was looking for you, Doc. I told them you'd come out here, but they wouldn't believe me. Well, what happened to Mrs. Hill, Jerry? She died, Doc, just before I left. She died? Did you hear that picture? A woman died. If I'd have been there, I could have saved her. But she died. Don't talk at me.  Hey, take it easy now, Doc.  Nobody is me. Pa's got a knife. Oh, picture. Oh! He cut him. Picture! Here. Here, I got you, Doc. You ripped me with that knife, man. Yeah.  Bleeding. Help me in the house. I can look at it there. Sure, Doc. Come on. What about Pa? Let me know when he comes, too. I'll come back and knock him out again. Pretty clean now, Doc. Yeah. Looks better. Still bleeding a little. I don't care for the mess you're making on that bed, Marshal. Don't get me another pan of hot water, will you? You're ordering me around my own house. I said, do it. All right. Yeah, Doc. I'm not sure, but I don't think that knife ruptured anything. Oh, good. But a couple of the veins have to be tied off. Then I got to be sewed up. Oh. With the needles and thread in my bag. Well, I do it myself, but I can't reach it easy enough. You mean you want me to do it? Well, I'll tell you how. You think I can? It's easy, especially for a gunfighter. Yeah, it's what I was thinking. I can bleed to death this way. Yeah. I won't have any trouble, Doc. I'll go get your bag, and I hear you hold the cloth on it. I've got it. Marshal. Get out of here, pitcher. You hit me awful hard. Did I? He jumped me first. You saw him. I was protecting myself.  You're threatening me.  Now where? Get out of here. Now, you stay out of this house. I'm going. I'm going. It wasn't easy, and I felt like I had fence posts for fingers, but I finally got Doc's soda. He lost an awful lot of blood, and he passed out before I finished, so all I could do was just sit there and watch him. Yeah, maybe that was the hardest part. In the morning, however, he seemed better, and he insisted that I take him in a dodge. So I made a bed in Pitcher's wagon and had Jerry drive the buggy alongside. He was in bad shape by the time we reached town, but I got him into his own bed, and then he sent for Kitty to help me out. I don't know what I'd have done without her for that next week. Matt? Yeah, yeah, I'm coming, Kitty. You know what he wants now? Oh, what? He's tired of drinking plain water. He says if we don't start cutting it with some good corn, he won't drink anymore. I don't let him go thirsty. He won't hold out long. No public servants can tell me what's good for me. Send that lawman down for some whisky. Now, Doc, we've gone to a lot of trouble to keep you alive. We sure have, Doc. Don't you worry about me. I'd get out of bed right now, only. I like being waited on. Who's that? Who's that?  How'd I know? Go and look. You know, Doc, I never thought anything could make you any ornerier than you've always been, but by golly, getting stabbed. Never mind the gap. Just answer the door. Come on in. Oh, what man? Come on in, I said. Good heavens, man. All right, go ahead, Doc. Fire me. Doc? Doc? Oh, in here. Hello, Doc. Well, it's Jerry. Well, here. Here, come in, son. What are you doing in town, Jerry? I come for Doc. You what? Paul's sick.  He's so sick. Oh, now look. What is this? It's a truth, Marshall. Paul made me lie last time, but he don't even know I'm here now. He doesn't know you're here? He's too sick, Doc.  He don't know nothing. What about your mom? She know you're here? I didn't tell her. She just stopped me. Doc?  Now, Doc's still in bed. He can't go any place. Please, Doc. Why should he risk his life for your Paul? Please. I'll come, Jerry. No, Doc. A man's dying. Doesn't matter what, man. I'm a doctor. I knew you'd come. I knew you were... You're crazy, Doc. You'll open that wound right now there. Besides, you're not strong enough. You're taking an awful chance. Jerry, what? How'd you get to town? I figured you'd need it, so I brought the wagon. I thought so. You gonna help me, Matt? All right. I'll help you, Doc. Have you ever sat in the club listening to someone hold a center of attention? No doubt you said to yourself, how does he do it? He's no smarter than I am. And you may be right. But he does have the power to command your attention. And this power may come from a thorough knowledge of the subject in discussion. This power through knowledge is available to you. The United States Armed Forces Institute provides opportunities for military personnel to continue their education while on active duty with the armed forces. Yousafi courses are almost limitless. While there are over 200 courses in high school, college and technical subjects alone. For a small initial fee, you may enroll in your first Yousafi course. From then on, you can continue to take other Yousafi courses at no further cost as long as your progress is satisfactory. Take advantage of this opportunity. Develop your own power through knowledge with a Yousafi course. The next time there's a big discussion at the club, you may hold the center of attention. Here, I'll give you a hand, Doc. I can make it. Wish you'd let me carry you. I said I can make it. He's awful weak, ain't he? Yeah. Here, I'll get the door. Come on in. Ma's probably in the bedroom. It's over this way. Yeah, we know where it is, church. Oh, I forgot. Is that you, Jerry? It's me, Ma. Where you been? What are you doing here? Jerry came after me, Mrs. Pitcher. We don't want no doctor. Your husband's sick? He's terrible sick. But you came to him no good, now get out. Now, wait a minute, Miss Pitcher. You look at Doc. You can tell he shouldn't be here at all, but he came. He came to help a man who tried to kill him. Nobody's going to stop him now. Come on, Doc. Miss Pitcher, you get out of the way. I'll get you a chair, Doc. Thank you. He looks pretty sick, though. Marshall, let's go, Jerry! Oh, no, what?  You and Doc both. Here, get me a knife. No!   Okay, Marshall. You don't deserve Doc being here, Miss Pitcher. You don't deserve it at all. I sure. What? I've been thinking. I've been sitting here thinking. Oh?   Doc's doing everything he can for him. Can you save him? Do you think he can save him? I don't know, man. Miss Pitcher? How is he, Doc? He's past the worst. I think he'll be all right. Can you see him? Can he talk? Yes, but not for long. He needs a lot of rest now. You look like you could use some rest, too, Doc. Well, we'll go back to Dodge, Matt, and I'll sleep the whole way. Doc, he wants to talk to you. What is it, Pitcher? Ma says that you was here all night. I was, yes.  Maybe I helped. Maybe.  You what? I didn't ask you to.  Maybe he did. But I ain't going to pay him. Doesn't matter, but why not? Because my cow died. No, but... Pitcher, Matt. Yeah, what, Doc? Don't bother. Let's go. OK. Doc. Yes? He means what he says, Doc. I can't change him. It's all right, ma'am. I can't change him. But there's something I got to say. Yes? I'm proud to have you in my house, Doc. I'm real proud to say no more. I've been paid, Matt. Paid pretty good. Gunsmoke, produced and directed by Norman McDonald, stars William Conrad as Matt Dillon, U.S. Marshall.

My name is Charlie and on this channel. I explore the basic principles of cooking so that we can all become better home cooks So let's make some dinner rolls. So for these sourdough dinner rolls We're gonna start by preparing our Levan which in this case will consist of 55 grams each of mature starter flour and water I'm using my usual mix of half whole wheat and half all-purpose flour here But you can really use anything you like now the way I prepare this here It's gonna take about five to seven hours at room temperature to double in size at which point It'll be ready to use the nice thing about this recipe is that if you get it started in the morning You can have it done by dinner time So I'll also leave a recommended time schedule in the full post on my website, which will be linked below So here we are about five hours later in this case and my Levan has about doubled in size If you want your Levan to rise faster feel free to increase the ratio of starter to flour to water or increase the Temperature of your environment and you can of course do the opposite if you want your Levan to rise slower It'll still work perfectly fine as long as it's at least doubled in size by the time you use it So in a medium bowl start with 130 grams or four fluid ounces of milk Preferably warmed up to room temperature then add your entire Levan which should be about 150 grams if you do the math you'll notice that the actual weight of the Levan added up to 165 grams but since a lot of it will get stuck to the sides and bottom of the jar only about 150 grams will actually end up in the bowl Anyway, just go ahead and stir that all together until the Levan becomes evenly distributed Then we'll add the rest of the ingredients starting with one beaten egg One and a half tablespoons of melted unsalted butter, which you've allowed to cool to room temperature 30 grams of granulated sugar and 7 grams of salt then again stir until all ingredients are fully incorporated and add 50 grams of whole wheat flour along with 350 grams of bread flour now You could instead just use 400 grams of bread flour if you prefer but I like to include the whole wheat flour for the extra flavor that it provides So thoroughly mix in the flour until the liquid is completely absorbed and you'll notice at this point that the dough is still quite dry So next we're gonna add just a bit of water You'll want to add anywhere from about 60 to 90 grams, which is about 2 to 3 fluid ounces So in this case, I'm adding 75 grams the amount you need to add can depend on a lot of factors Mostly the type of flour that you're using so just use your judgment and only add as much water as you need until your dough Looks about like mine does here You'll also want to work the dough just a bit either with your hands or with a dough whisk to start to develop some gluten Then either cover your bowl or transfer the dough to a separate container with a lid a nice little tip here Is to add about a tablespoon of water to your container before you put the dough in there Which will help to prevent the dough from sticking to the container too much Then transfer your container to a warm environment either in your oven with the light on or in a proofing box If you have one set to around 82 degrees Fahrenheit, which is about 28 degrees Celsius You could also just keep it at room temperature if that's your only option But it might just take a bit longer to rise in that case Now after about 30 minutes remove the dough from your warm environment and perform one set of stretching folds to help To develop the gluten structure of the dough so for this just grab a small portion of the dough and stretch it up As far as it'll go without tearing then fold it back over top of itself Then repeat that process about five to seven more times until you've gone around the entire perimeter of the dough At that point flip the dough over and place the lid back onto your container then return it to your warm environment for another 60 minutes After that time we're gonna perform another set of folds this time though We'll be performing coil folds in order to preserve the airiness that's developed in the dough So for these gently lift up the dough and let it stretch and fold underneath itself as you place it back down Then repeat that process three more times until you've gone around the entire perimeter of the dough Then return the container to your warm environment and let the dough rise for another 60 minutes At that point the dough shouldn't be overly soft and bubbly But it should be nice and airy with a few small bubbles at the surface once that's the case It's time to start dividing and shaping our rolls So start by generously flouring your surface then turn out the dough with the top side facing down now I like to bake these rolls in a 10 inch cast iron skillet So I typically divide my dough up into 14 pieces because they fit nicely into the skillet that way But you can really divide it into as many pieces as you like depending on how big you want your rolls to be And to make the rolls as evenly sized as possible I actually like to weigh them out using my scale, but that's definitely optional as well So once you've got your individual pieces shape each one into a ball by folding the outsides into the center like so Then flipping them over and rolling them around with your hand to form them into top balls of dough Now I also like to keep a small bowl of water on my surface so that if my dough is having trouble picking up traction I can just splash a bit of water on my surface to help out Then as you shape the rolls place them into your 10 inch cast iron skillet or other similarly sized pan Which I like to dust with rice flour to prevent the rolls from sticking And I also like to roll each roll in a small amount of rice flour before adding them to the pan to prevent them from sticking together too much At that point it's time to let the rolls proof one more time So just cover them up with the dish towel and place them back into your warm environment For about another one and a half to two hours until the rolls spring back slowly when poked with your finger You'll notice at the beginning of proofing that they spring back right away when poked But by the end of proofing the gluten structure will have broken down slightly and they'll look more like this So before we finally bake these rolls We're just going to brush them with a little bit of egg wash to help them brown Which just consists of one egg combined with one teaspoon of water And I also like to sprinkle the tops of each roll with a bit of flaky salt to add some extra texture and flavor Then go ahead and throw the rolls into your oven Which you've preheated to 400 degrees Fahrenheit or about 205 degrees celsius for 18 to 25 minutes until they've reached your desired level of browning Once they're out of the oven I also like to drizzle some melted butter over top and at that point Just let them cool in the pan for at least five to 10 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool the rest of the way So now that you know how to make sourdough dinner rolls If you want to learn how to make an easy cranberry sauce to go with your holiday dishes Be sure to click that video in the bottom right corner of the screen. So there you go. I'll see you all in the next one


So just to give you some perspective, we're in Texas right over here, and these guys are past Europe in the Black Sea off the coast of Turkey. So I have another map to show you guys. So this is the Black Sea, so Turkey is here, Greece is here, Russia is here, so it's sort of all in the middle of everything. And we're going to see a display in a little bit of where they are, and you'll see that they're right in this area, right here. So on the ship, what you're seeing here are live images, and they don't actually go into the water, the scientists don't go into the water. What they do is they drive these ROVs. ROV stands for Remotely Operated Vehicle, and they have, I don't know how many, three of them? Four of them online, and I have pictures of two of the raised ones. This is the Argus, and you can see this is a live shot of the Argus right now that's on the back of the boat that's in the Black Sea. And the other one is called the Hercules, and Hercules was in the water earlier today with his little robot arms picking up stuff from the bottom of the Black Sea. This is the gentleman that we're going to meet today. He's an educator at sea, his name is Tom, and he is standing by waiting to talk to us. There's actually another group speaking to him right now, but when it gets to be 227, what did I say? 227. We're going to dial in, and what we're doing is we're going to call a phone that's connected in the United States, and that phone is going to actually, through satellite, allow us to talk to Tom. So, do you guys have any questions about what I've said so far? Good, because I don't know if I have all the answers. I'm not a scientist, I don't know how big that vote is, but that would be something that we could talk about. So, are we cool? Yes. Alright. And she is getting ready to patch us in to the Nautilus ship. I'm Rodgers, and I am a high school science teacher from Virginia Beach, Virginia. And right now I'm aboard the Exploration Vessel Nautilus, which is out in the Black Sea. That's okay. I'll tell you what the ship is up to right at the moment. We are imaging the sea floor using what's called side scans using sound waves to give us a sense of what the shape of the sea floor is and what's down there. Oh, I'd be happy to. One of the main reasons that we're studying the Black Sea this summer is because it has a very interesting chemistry. The Black Sea is sort of a sea within a sea. If you look at a picture of the Black Sea region on Google Earth, you'll notice that there's a part of it that's deeper than the rest by quite a bit. That part of it is the ancient Black Sea that's been there for a very, very long time. And then at the end of the last Ice Age, as the glaciers retreated, they flooded this valley and made the sea deeper. And the current Black Sea fills a lot more of the valley than the original Black Sea or the Proto Sea filled in the era before the Ice Age. And that water from the first sea has really stayed where it was. It's saltier than the water from the melted glaciers. And so sea life has used up all of the oxygen in that deport life. And then up near the surface of the modern Black Sea, the water has oxygen and you will sometimes see fish and life forms. And then there's a region in between called the suboxic layer between the area that has enough oxygen to support life and the area that can't support any life. And we are investigating the suboxic layer. So much of what we're looking at is in an area where the water just doesn't have enough air in it for any fish to breathe or for any plants to grow. And that's why you're not seeing a lot of sea life. Hey Tom, we've got a team here named Benjamin who was asking if you could describe to us what is the weirdest thing that you've seen so far on the expedition this year? Oh, that's a good question Benjamin. And we saw something sitting on the sea floor. At first we were really excited about it. We thought it might be a piece of wood perhaps from a shipwreck. One of the things that's good for archaeologists in the suboxic region is because there isn't a lot of plant life or a lot of bacterial life. Wood decays very slowly. So things which sink to the bottom, particularly ships which sink to the bottom, are preserved for a very long time. And we thought we might be looking at a piece of wood. And the more we looked at it the more it looked like it might be made of metal. And it looked like it might be of modern construction. And we never quite decided what it was. Some people said it looked to them like a heat exchanger maybe from a refrigeration unit. And we decided that it probably wasn't of archaeological significance so we moved on. We took a couple pictures of it and made note of where it was and moved away. But we still haven't quite figured out what that thing was. So you found something that was a total mystery. That's pretty cool. I've got another question for you. Archie is asking why is the Black Sea called the Black Sea? Storks can pop up pretty suddenly in this region. And sometimes they can be quite severe. And so from a sailor's perspective that was a bad thing. And somehow the idea of a bad sea or a sinister sea became a dark sea or a Black Sea. At least that's what we believe to be the morphology of that name. I'm going to ask Eli's question. I have a question from Eliza. She's wondering how did you get your job as a scientist? And how long have you been studying the Black Sea? I have the opportunity to come aboard this summer. So I personally have only been studying the Black Sea for a few weeks now. However, I interviewed a Turkish scientist who's with us on this cruise today. And he's been studying the Black Sea since 1996. And we have other crew members on board who have been studying at least that long and longer. We have people who are studying the Black Sea from a perspective of archaeology. The looking for traces of human society on the sea floor. Often in the form of shipwrecks. Although we're hoping we might see evidence of human life along the proto shore. Where in the era before the Ice Age there might have been human settlements along the edge of the original sea. We also have scientists here who are studying the chemistry of the sea and the biology of the sea. And geography and geology of the sea. So there have been a lot of people here studying it for a much longer time than I have. So everybody aboard has a different expertise. And we're hoping that you can answer this question. We noticed that there were different types of ROVs that you all are using to carry out experiments and stuff like that. Can you explain to us just briefly what are some of the differences, the different capabilities of those ROVs now on board? Absolutely. Right now we're using a vehicle called Diana, which is the sonar fish I mentioned earlier. And it might not be quite accurate to call that one an ROV because it, although it does run on power from the ship through a tow cable. Its operations are pretty simple.  The electronics are pretty sophisticated, but it doesn't have any cameras on it or any manipulator arms. And there's not much we can do to control it to operate it remotely while it's underway. When we are exploring the seafloor more closely, Nautilus uses two very specific and very unique ROVs. One is called Argus, and it looks like a large metal rectangle. You've probably seen it in the video, lashed down to the aft deck, the back end of the boat. And the other one is called Hercules. That's the big yellow ROV. And the two of those ROVs work in tandem. Argus is attached directly to Nautilus via a heavy cable, and Argus weighs about two tons. When we lower it into the seawater, the buoyancy force exerted by the seawater supports about 1,000 pounds. So it has an apparent weight of about 3,000 pounds. And that 3,000 pounds pulls down on that cable, and we just lower it straight down into the sea behind the boat. And if the boat's moving slowly, which it generally will be when the ROVs are deployed, the Argus ROV just hangs directly beneath the pulley that the cable runs over. Attached to the Argus ROV by a tether of about 30 meters long is the ROV Hercules. And Hercules is equipped with a lot of lights and a lot of cameras, including a very good production quality high-definition camera, and two robotic arms. And the Hercules ROV can drive all through the water using thrusters controlled from the control van by an ROV pilot. The ROV Hercules can travel anywhere in the water up to 30 meters away from Argus. And Hercules is the one that has the manipulators and the great camera that brings back all the shots you see. And those two ROVs are almost always used in tandem. That is to say, they're both in the water at the same time working together, connected together. Thank you for that, Tom. I have Jessica here, and she's going to ask her question. I was going to ask, you were talking about the storms in the ice ages earlier. Well, I was going to see if you all could come in with, like, any evidence of the storm in the past messing with the settlements at the bottom of the sea. And if, like, there was any cool stuff about it? I'm afraid that we have not yet actually found any settlements along the proto shoreline. We have clearly identified the proto shoreline. You can see evidence of waves lapping up on the edge of the old sea, or the new sea from the old sea. But we haven't found any evidence of settlements there. However, we have found a lot of evidence of the severity of the storms, mostly in the forms of shipwrecks. A few days ago, we found a vessel that we have designated a rillius g, based on its location and when we found it. And we believe that it may have sunk in the storm. It's a very large vessel, and it has a copper bottom, or at least a copper clad bottom, which indicates that it was built relatively recently, and it has some very sophisticated joinery. So all the evidence is that it was a very sound and very stout boat, and yet we found it on the bottom of the sea. So that's an indication that it may indeed have sunk in a storm. And we have an archaeologist on board who's been doing research and believes she has begun to track down evidence of which ship that was. And it may indeed be one that sank in a storm several hundred years ago. Thank you for that, Tom. We've got one more question for you. Well, it's actually two that we're going to combine into one. Scott and Erica are asking what got you interested in doing this. And Amber is asking if you could tell us, sort of in a nutshell, what's the whole purpose of the experiment and the expedition this summer? I'll be happy to answer both of those questions. The way or the reason that I became involved in this is because at my school I coach a robotics club, and the robotics club builds an ROV, a remotely operated vehicle every year, to compete in what's called the Mate ROV Challenge. And that's available or open, by the way, to boys and girls clubs as well as schools. And each year we build a remotely operated vehicle, which we launch into a pool to complete a simple, compared to what we're doing here anyway, simple mission, although it's always challenging for us. And because of my connection with the robotics club and because of the school's connection with the Nautilus program, it seemed like I would be a good teacher to send out this summer to report back on the operations of the ROV's board Nautilus. I can also answer Amber's question, the larger question of what's this all about and why are we doing it? And the answer to that question is because we are explorers. This is the core of exploration. We are looking to reveal the unknown. Right now approximately 95% of the world's oceans have never been explored. And when you consider that the oceans constitute a large fraction of the surface area of the Earth, you realize that we're talking about regions larger than any continent that no one has ever seen. And for a long time, that was the only way it could be. We couldn't swim deeply enough. We can't see when it's that dark. We just could not explore the sea the way we've explored dry land. In fact, as you know, we explored the moon and in fact we explored Mars before we were able to really explore the deep, deep parts of the ocean. But now we finally have the technology and Dr. Ballard has the drive and he's put together this core of exploration, brought the technology and the people and the hardware and the drive together, and we are looking to see what it is we're going to find. We're exploring for exploration's sake. Everybody has their own thing they're hoping to see. Maybe it's a settlement. Maybe it's a new form of animal life. Maybe it's some sort of important shipwreck, but we're all just looking to see what's out there. And it's exploration for exploration's sake and I cannot tell you how excited I am to be part of it. I hope that you all will take part too. Follow along in the program. If you go to the website, NautilusLive.org, you can see the video feeds and you can click on the link and ask questions. If you don't have a chance to get back to the library to use their hardware there, you can do it from your home computer on Nautilus at NautilusLive.org. There's a participate tab. Click on that tab and you can write in a question and it will be answered by either me or one of the other educators or one of the scientists or technicians on board. We all love to get those questions. So I hope to hear from some of you very soon. It was great talking to you all. I hope you're having a day. I have to go to work now. It's almost midnight and my work life shift's about to start. So goodbye.
