Hello everyone. So this is going to be a presentation which I'm going to do right now on the recent advances in prosthesis and I hope that I will be able to take you through some of the slides as swiftly as possible and give you a brief idea about what to see and what to expect when you're looking at prosthesis while doing radiological imaging. By the way to introduce myself I'm Dr. Shion from Tata Medical Center Kolkata. I'm doing fellowship here. Before we start what is a prosthesis? A prosthesis is basically just defined as an artificial substitute or a replacement of a part of the body such as a tooth, eye, a facial bone, a hip, knee or another joint. It is basically an artificial extension that replaces a missing body part. So what are the indications for a prosthesis? Now a prosthesis can be used for three major indications. These are basically a bone tumor which can result in amputation resulting in the loss of the normal limb function of the patient, degenerative joint diseases which need a replacement by a prosthesis and peripheral vascular diseases which again result in loss of limb function necessitating the use of a prosthesis. So first of all what is the imaging that we do for malignant bone tumors while utilizing prosthesis? So staging malignant bone tumor primary bone tumors requires both intra and extramarillary involvement evaluation. So intramarillary extension includes an assessment of the longitudinal extent, epifacial involvement as well as the skip metastasis. Extramarillary extension basically provides an assessment of the muscle compartments and the joint feasibility which helps in the movement of the joint. When a bone tumor is encountered in a skeletally immature child, we have to evaluate the growth plate and epifaceous as well. Indeed, fasciospary may be significant to the very young in whom growth is essential. Joint involvement requires extra-articular resection therefore it is essential to assess the presence of intra-articular masses or focal replacement of intracinomial fat. Finally, a pathological fracture is taken to confirm the joint contamination as it is equivalent to extra-compartmental extension. So these are the things that we should keep in mind or we should evaluate while we are looking at a bone tumor initially. So just to give a startup, this is an aving sarcoma in a 10-year-old boy where the fast spinico inversion recovery sequence shows the medullary extent of the lesion and as we can see in the coronal image going to the contrast between the growth plate and the tumor, we can see that there is some fascial involvement. So fascial involvement should always be accurately assessed since it influences the surgical strategy. Another example of skewed lesion is a medullary hyperplasia. This is a tumor-invited image where we can see there is a black arrow which is recognizable distal to the tumor and as a result of the signal alteration which is caused by medullary hyperplasia. The low signal is pronounced and it has got a blurred margin. So now coming to the main part that is what are the components of a prosthesis. Prosthesis has some basic components. These basically include a socket which is basically a plastic receptacle where the residual limb discontain, an appendage which may be a hand or a foot depending on whether it is the upper limb or the lower limb, a joint which is basically the connection between the appendage and the main proximal part of the limb. It can be the wrist joint, the elbow joint, the shoulder joint or the ankle joint or the knee or the hip for that matter and a connecting module that connects the appendage and the joint to the socket. So what is a shank? A shank is basically a substitute for the human leg. It helps in restoring the length and shape and is located above the foot ankle assembly. It can be below the socket in case of trans tbl prosthesis and there are two types of shanks. One is the exoskeleton shank, other is the endoskeleton shank. Now coming to the types of prosthesis. First of all we can have an endoprostesis. So as we can see in this image there are two prostheses which we can see one is for the humerus that is the upper limb and there is one the femur that is the lower limb. Both are endoskeleton prosthesis where we can see the receptacle is placed within the residual part of the bone where the rest of it has been amputated and there is an articulation which is present with the joint where we can see the fixators placed within the joint cavity. Self-expanding prostheses. Self-expanding prostheses basically works in the principle of expansion on its own and it is one of the most common types of prostheses that is used which helps in proper functioning of the limb even after the amputation or the removal of the original limb has taken place. So what are the uses of the socket? A socket helps in maximum distribution of the load. It helps in venous blood circulation and it also provides a tactile feedback. Now tactile feedback is important since that will help in the individual to properly assess the position of the artificial limb and change himself or modulate his actions accordingly and it has also got some reliefs and build-ups. Patellar tendon bearing socket has a prominent indentation over the patellar tendon. So these are some images that I've collected to give an idea about how these components look. As we can see there is a hard socket. There is a hard socket with a pellite liner. Now patellar tendon bearing socket as we can see it is impending on the patellar tendon as mentioned earlier. It is used for the lower limb basically for the knee joint and patellar tendon bearing socket can be supra condylar as well as supra patellar in nature. Now this is for the elbow as we can see above elbow prosthesis then we have the above knee prosthesis as well as the below the knee prosthesis. These images may help in understanding how the hardware is basically where we can see flexible inner liner socket, a laminated frame and the bionic knee in the case of the above the knee prosthesis. There is a microprocessor as we can see in the image which helps in sensing the movement and gives the necessary tactile feedback to the individual. Also we can see there is a shock absorber which is used for below the knee prosthesis. So this is again just a depiction of the components of the prosthesis. This is basically a mammary-based prosthesis where we can see an acetabulum as well as the femoral stem. There is an acetabular liner which is placed within the acetabular cup. It helps in proper articulation between the main femoral stem and the acetabulum and helps in proper movement to take place at the joint that is the hip joint for this case. Now the acetabular liner can be made up of various components. It can be a cemented type or a cementless type and it can also involve the cementless type of the femoral prosthesis articulated in the cemented type of the acetabular cup and all these have got various nuances and complications attached to each of them. I'm not going to discuss them in lot of details because that may be too much to cover within this span of time but still this gives us a broad idea about what are the basic components which we will see if we can dissect the prosthesis and make out the individual hardware. This is the imaging depiction of the mammary-based prosthesis as we can see which has been placed in the right hip joint in this patient as we can see that there is an acetabular cup along with the part of the femoral stem and there is a lining which is placed in the inner side so one is cemented and the other is non-cemented. So these are the groin zones which we have to keep which we have to look at probably when we are evaluating a limb after the placement of the prosthesis. So we have to keep in mind that there are some complications that can occur after the placement of the prosthesis one of which is basically loosening. We can divide the joint into these three quadrants as we can see in the image on the left hand side of the screen where the anything in zone one is considered to be normal but in zones two and three if there is any kind of loosening or any kind of a lucency that is seen between the prosthesis and the main limb then it is considered to be pathological. Again there is another type of division where we can see that they are divided into seven zones based on the femoral shaft again something in the region one is normal and the other parts is not considered to be normal. This is a depiction of the elbow prosthesis where we can see there is a prosthesis which has passed through the annus shaft and into the lower end of the humerus where we can see the articulation taking place at the elbow joint and this mode of prosthesis is used for considering the fixation of the elbow and helps in proper movement as well as mobility of the elbow joint after the patient has undergone a procedure or a prosthetic replacement for some reason. This is a prosthetic cap which is used for the medial femoral tbl joint where we can see the articular surfaces have been covered of both the medial condyle of the femur as well as the tbl plateau which helps in preventing frictional contact between the articular surfaces with each other and as we can see on the image on the other image on the left hand side there is a reduction of joint space that has taken place in this individual probably due to some underlying joint disease or degenerative condition and this processes will help reduce the damage that will be caused to the articular surfaces and helps in better preservation of the joint functions. Again coming to the hardware components so this is the metal tbl component as we can see the patellar component the polyethylene which is placed inside the metal tbl component and acts as a liner metal condyle component which is placed in the femur and all these components together make up what is called the process. Now this much of hardware may be not necessary for a radiologist's point of view because we won't be looking at the hardware what we will do is mainly go into the imaging part and see that how this processes can be evaluated or how that can help in on interpretation of the images when a patient presents with a prosthesis and we have to image that patient. So as we can see in this image there is a shoulder prosthesis in this individual where there is a shaft going into the humerus and there is an articulation at the start of taking place with the glenoid cavity on the right side. Again below the ankle prosthesis where we can see the taller dome as well as the lower end of the tbl being covered with artillery caps. Same the ankle prosthesis which I just showed on the x-ray the components there is a tbl plate there is a taller component there are some mobile bearing which are present between the two components and these bearings help in the smooth functioning of the striker at the ankle prosthesis and helps in the movement of the ankle joint. Now coming to the one of the most important parts of this presentation so what are the complications that we need to be careful about when we are dealing with a patient who has undergone a prosthesis. So there are some certain complications the most common is metallosis, particle disease, infection, loosening, tendon injury and muscle injury. So this is an example of a metallosis where we can see that there is a lobulated T2 hypo intense lesion or a structure which is seen adjacent to the joint and we can see that there are some hypo intense components which are also seen lining the lobulated cavity. So this is typical example of metallosis which is basically seen in certain cases of prosthesis especially with cobalt chromium alloy usage in the prosthesis. It is basically hapten mediated hypersensitivity reaction which is adjacent to the joint and can be seen in the case of a prosthesis especially if the metal alloy is used at cobalt and chromium we need to be on the lookout for this and need to identify this. We need to differentiate it from the other possibilities like maybe infectious causes or other more sinister complications that can occur. So the typical feature is the T2 hypo intensity which we can see and it is like a globular in shape and this probably gives us a good idea that this can be considered metallosis which is an aseptic condition and need not be confused with infection. Particle disease. Particle disease is a synovial inflammatory reaction which basically occurs secondary to the prosthesis placement. Unlike the previous example which was basically a hapten mediated hypersensitivity reaction, particle disease is not like that. Particle disease is basically when after placement of the prosthesis there are certain destructive processes that come into play and that results in the formation of a fluid like T2 hyper intense lesion which we can see adjacent to the joint as we can see. So the main differentiation which we can probably do is based on the signal intensity as we saw in the last case a metallosis is T2 hypo intense whereas a particle disease will result in the formation of a T2 hyper intense lesion. Both these conditions are related to particular use of metal prosthesis and are peculiar to those peculiar to them. This has got no such correlation with cobalt chromium alla usage as we saw in the last case. So this is separate from that and this also needs to be kept in mind when we are dealing with the prosthesis. Lucene is basically a lucency or a demarcation that appears between the parent limb or the residual limb and the prosthesis. It can be seen as a hyper intense linear demarcation if you are using MRI for T2 weighted image or for that matter fat suppress sequences. If you are using an X-ray we will see it as a lucent lining which will cross two to three millimeters in width and that should always indicate that there is a possibility of lucenine taking place and we have to make sure that we inform the findings to the orthopedician in case the lucenine results in the dislodgement or the prosthesis is not properly lodged within the joint and it cannot serve as proper function. Infection is obviously what we know infection can happen so the key is not to confuse the other complications with infection. Infection will have subcutaneous edema as we can see on the stir sequences. It will have joint diffusion as we can make out and like I told earlier the signal intensity of the subcutaneous tissue and the joint diffusion along with the marrow edema or the edema in the surrounding bones will probably point towards the possibility of an infection rather than the other complications that have been discussed earlier. Infection obviously needs an urgent action we have to inform the clinician and suggest proper antibiotic usage to prevent it from going further and further complicating the scenario. So basically this is just a gross flow chart that can be used so history of pain discomfort then we can go for serology ESRC reactive protein total wild blood cell count and a radiograph. Normal criteria of infection low probability of infection so first we have to see if there is any raised major criteria of infection. If there is a major criteria of infection the further imaging should be done in the form of bone scan CT scan or if necessary a biopsy for that matter. If there is a low probability of infection we have to go for the component position. If it is satisfactory then we have to think of radiographic osteolysis. If there is no osteolysis seen on the normal X-rays then we have to go for CT MRI meta-iron measurement if necessary. Now if there is loosening of osteolysis the further imaging needs to be needed using Mars protocol MRI CT aspect CT and finally we have to diagnose the presence of osteolysis inform the clinician whether the implant is stable or unstable that is the key. If it is stable then we can follow it up if it is unstable probably needs some inter intermission on the part of the clinician. So quickly going through the drawbacks so there are some drawbacks which we come across when imaging metal processes one is the metallic artifact production some the metallic process magnetic process not suitable for MRI because the MRI can cause hitting of the implants which can cause tissue damage and also it can cause migration of the implants. This is an example of streak artifacts that have been that have resulted from the usage of bilateral hip processes in this patient as we can see the image is very poor and we cannot discern anything within the pelvis for that matter. Again artifacts resulting from the use of processes when MRI there is a lot of hypo intense metal artifact production as we can see in this image as a result the joint cannot be visualized properly and because of this artifact the evaluation will not be properly done. So this is just a gross protocol which we can use where we can use the fast pinnacle T182 image so the types of metal artifacts that we should be kept in mind in plane distortion and signal loss poor or absent fat suppression geometric distortion and two section distortion. Now what are the remedies quickly some few points to keep in mind high bandwidth can help in reducing the artifacts as well as stopping the frequency encoding and the phase encoding directions we can use pinnacle fast pinnacle instead of GRE because that also reduces the artifacts you stir instead of spectral fat suppression because spectral fat suppression will not be properly applicable if we are using metallic processes since that can result in lack of homogeneity and thin sections are also helping this matter. There are some special sequences like Mars Maverick CMAC probably I'll just go through them briefly this is a VAT view angle technique where we can see the readout direction is altered so that the view angle tilting helps in reducing the artifacts from the metallic processes. Mars protocol just a overall tabular representation of which are the sequences and what are the various timings. CMAC is slice encoding metal artifact reduction technique which is another technique we use by different vendors which helps in reducing artifacts and we can understand how the frequency encoding direction is changed and it helps in altering the readout gradient so that artifacts are reduced. Maverick another technique similar to that which also helps in reducing the artifacts in the frequency encoding direction by providing repeated excitations and then reading them out in a swift fashion so that the artifacts in the final image are reduced. The common metal suppression sequences according to the various vendors of Mars which is the most commonly used clinical man warp which is used by Siemens, CMAC again used by Siemens and Maverick which is used by GE. So these are the basic techniques they use I'm giving them in tabular format high bandwidth is used by warp CMAC uses back folding of the off resonance signal and Maverick uses particularly non-selective excitation. Now the complications lastly to round it off it can be metal suppression can have certain complications like specific absorption rate in increased imaging time specific absorption rate will probably increase the heat caution and increased imaging time will increase the duration of the study. So this is just a quick idea of how useful these sequences are as we can see there is the image in the middle is poorly discernible because of the artifacts of the metal used in the lower end of the femur however after using of the Mars technique it we can see that the margins of the femur are better visualized because the metal artifact reduction has taken place. Another example with metal artifact reduction technique where the right shoulder in the first image is not that clearly seen but in the second image is much better seen because we have used metal artifact reduction techniques. Similar application can be done in case of vertebral imaging also where the speed encoding and corresponding Maverick sequences so significant reduction of metal artifact reduction and also helps in interpretation whether there is any disc herniation or not in this particular patient. In a sacroiliac joint also similarly we can use whether the screw fixation has been done and following that we have imaged with the help of Maverick to see for better depiction of the adjacent end of the cord and also to visualize whether there is any complications taking place at that particular joint. So these are my basic references hope I was able to give you some kind of an idea about processes thank you so much for watching that's it for now.


The ecosystem for social impact is multifaceted and interconnected. The SDGs offer a unified framework to orient all the stakeholders engaged in sustainable development. To ensure that we're on the right track, it is important to know exactly where we are today. To help us get oriented, I would like to welcome our Impact Engineers steering committee member and Senior Sustainable Development Officer at the United Nations Department of Economic and Social Affairs, Astra Bonin. At UNDESA's Division for Sustainable Development Goals, Astra works to identify new and emerging issues relevant to sustainable development and the 2030 agenda, with an emphasis on leveraging interlinkages among the SDGs and applying science, technology, and innovation to achieve these goals. We are grateful to Astra for providing us with an overview of the state of the SDGs, shared trends, as well as key directives for the technical community for the decade of action. Welcome Astra, over to you. Good morning. It's such a pleasure to be here with this innovative and action-oriented group of problem solvers. Thank you to Engineering for Change, ASME, and all the sponsors for creating this forum to advance the role of engineering and technology and sustainable development. I started my career as an engineer right around the time that the first Earth Summit was held in Rio de Janeiro. The Bruntlin Report had just been issued, and the need for sustainable development and for attention to climate change was gaining traction among policymakers. There was an optimism about the potential for engineering and technology to contribute to transitions towards sustainability. Fast forward several decades, and that same optimism holds. But the networks linking engineering with social change are much stronger, and the need to build and strengthen these bridges and partnerships by breaking down silos is well understood. As was stated in the 2019 Global Sustainable Development Report, different levers of transformation, including science and technology, but also including governance, business, and individual and collective action have to coherently work together to drive change. Today, the promise of technology for humanity's collective response to the COVID-19 pandemic, for building resilience against climate disasters and disease, for moving toward a carbon neutral future, and for eradicating deprivations, whether poverty, hunger, or lack of schooling, is immense. This is a crucial and exhilarating time for engineers and for science. At the United Nations Department of Economic and Social Affairs, where I work, in the Division for Sustainable Development Goals, our aim is to integrate scientific evidence, technology, and policymaking to help countries realize the aspirations of the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development and the 17 Associated Sustainable Development Goals. The SDGs and the state of progress toward these goals are what I would like to focus on today, because the need for engineering, innovations, and working across silos for social change is an essential element of the coming decade of action and delivery as 2030 approaches. In case some of you are not familiar with the SDGs, they're shown in this slide, and there are a set of 17 goals and 169 specific targets that countries committed to achieving by 2030 with a promise to leave no one behind. They include such ambitions as eliminating poverty and eliminating hunger, ensuring universal access to clean water and sanitation, and reducing inequalities. They also include climate action, reducing biodiversity loss and deforestation, and responsible consumption and production. It's now been five years since the goals were agreed, and we have 10 years left to make extraordinary progress. There are challenges that will require concentrated and collaborative efforts from engineers and from other experts and decision makers toward deep structural changes in our energy systems, our food systems, and our economies. These changes may have seemed too expensive or too disruptive before, but we're now at a point where we have to move forward. Even before the pandemic, assessments like the SDG Progress Report and the Global Sustainable Development Report indicated that progress along many dimensions of sustainable development had slowed. For example, poverty reduction was being accomplished at a much slower rate than in the past, and hunger was even seen slight upticks. Trends in several other areas were not even moving in the right direction. This was the case with inequality reduction and reversing biodiversity loss and climate change. With COVID-19, we now face more conditions with even greater challenges to eradicating extreme deprivations and ensuring a green transition for greater resilience. Looking ahead, estimates of the ultimate impacts of the pandemic on SDG Progress are still preliminary, but initial estimates are sobering. Allow me to highlight just a few. SDG 1, no poverty. The latest estimates are that an additional 100 million people could be pushed back into extreme poverty in 2020, causing the first increase in global poverty in more than 20 years. SDG 2, zero hunger. Economic slowdowns and disruptions in food value chains are exacerbating hunger and food insecurity. It is anticipated that levels of acute hunger and food insecurity could double in 2020, affecting some 265 million people. SDG 4, quality education. School closures have affected 90% of the world's student population with impacts on the learning of 1.6 billion children and youth. When we look to SDG 5 and progress toward achieving gender equality, we know that women make up 70% of health care workers and they do the bulk of unpaid care work under lockdown conditions. They're at risk of domestic violence and they depend on informal work. All of these create vulnerabilities that are exacerbated by the crisis. SDG 8, which emphasizes decent work and economic growth. Disruption of the global economy is pushing the world into a recession with anticipated GDP growth of negative 4.4% in 2020 and 1.6 billion people who work in the informal sector are expected to be hardest hit and at risk of losing their livelihoods. SDG 13, which is about climate action. Here there is some promise for the future as lockdowns and travel restrictions with much economic harm have resulted in a projected drop in greenhouse gas emissions by 4 to 7% in 2020 and air quality has improved. But this is temporary without systemic shifts toward low carbon production and consumption models. As it stands, an annual decline of 7.6% in greenhouse gas emissions is estimated to be necessary over the next 10 years if we are to be on track to limit global warming to 1.5 degrees Celsius above pre-industrial levels. Even with all of the disruptions due to the crisis, we are unlikely to achieve this in 2020. The COVID-19 pandemic threatens to derail the achievement of the 2030 agenda. But this could also be a turning point where the immense response resources could be directed toward transforming our systems to ensure greater human well-being and better stewardship of the environment. Let's look to the future. The engineering community and in particular the part of this community that focuses on social impact is well placed to collaborate with and across other sectors. So the investments made deliver maximal returns to the SDGs and address trade-offs between growth and sustainability. This is already happening and let me give you just a few examples. Engineers have developed a knowledge hub about engineering solutions that can be used to help businesses quickly adapt industrial production lines during COVID-19-related interruptions and to retool operations to support medical responses. In Cape Town, South Africa, engineers have collaborated with the city government to open a waste-to-energy plant that utilizes household, municipal, and industrial waste from the city to generate clean fuel. In Fiji, engineers are working together with government and civil society to improve building construction standards for greater resilience against natural disasters like cyclones and floods that produce serious financial and social setbacks. UNDESA is ready to mobilize such efforts working at the interface between science, policy, and multi-stakeholder action. Right now, we are gearing up to support the 15 independent scientists who will draft the next Global Sustainable Development Report due in 2023 and expected to further our understanding of how to build back better from COVID-19 and accelerate progress toward the SDGs. More immediately in 2021, the multi-stakeholder Science, Technology, and Innovation Forum is a space to underscore the role of engineering for delivering on the SDGs, including recognizing the many innovations in developing countries that have the potential to be scaled up and shared across regions. The online platform 2030 Connect takes this network online, providing a space dedicated to facilitating the adaptation and adoption of sustainable knowledge and technologies, especially in how they can be used in least developed countries. 2021 is going to be a big year. Several global events, in addition to the STI Forum, will take place bringing stakeholders from across the world together to advance knowledge and generate action for the SDGs, including the Second Global Sustainable Transport Conference, the High-Level Dialogue on Energy, and the Food Systems Summit. Engineering has an absolutely central role to play in all of these, and I hope that the engineering community will be actively engaged. I would like to conclude with optimism. Science and technology are powerful agents of change, and if they are guided by the 2030 Agenda, they can steer us toward a sustainable and socially just future. Forums like Impact Engineered are generating a strong momentum for change and action that is solution-oriented and geared to radically rethinking partnerships. Initiatives like this open up opportunities to tackle challenges in their full complexity and to mobilize stakeholders to work together. I wish this meeting all success, and I look forward to the innovative outcomes that will come out of it. Thank you very much. Thank you so much, Astra. We agree 100% with you that the SDGs are key to achieving sustainable development for all, and we're grateful for you setting the stage for our panel discussion.


What GPT-4 is, what can it do, why is it better than GPT-3 and how much, how do you get access and what new tools are being released. So first things first, it's multi-modal which means it can actually read images. If you're wondering what you would use that for, imagine that you're blind and you can't see, just like a normal person might use a translator when they're listening to a different language, a blind person might translate their environment right in front of them. Because GPT-4 can not only take that picture and tell them what is in it, but can explain the context around that.


You've got a new modern expensive car. You might have a backup camera, but what if you don't? It looks like the people at Cobra have maybe got a solution for you. Yes, that's right. I'm with Dave Marsh from Cobra. Yes, yes. The average American car is 11 years old, so they don't all have backup cameras. So we've come out with a version here that's five minutes set up. And one of the problems with backup cameras is you have to pay for the large display that sits there on your dash all the time, but what are you guys doing instead? Well, we're using your smartphone. So what you do is we have a license plate bracket here with a camera on it, and there's a four-year battery in there. So I'm just going to describe for the audio people, too. So we see something that looks about the size of a license plate, but it's thicker and it's got a camera mounted on the top of it. And your license plate goes right underneath that? That's right. To set it up, all you do is take the two screws out that hold your license plate, and then you put this bracket in and put the two screws back in. Now you have a backup camera, and the way that works is you have a simple remote here that goes in the steering wheel. And that little three-button remote, the middle button, you just hit that, and you'll see on the smartphone in three seconds over there, the picture just came up on the smartphone. Oh, wow. And you didn't have to wake the smartphone up. That's the beauty of it. Does it work that way with iOS, too? That's right. It works Android or iOS, and you don't need to enter your security code or anything else. No distraction. Just hit the button and you get the picture right away. Wow. That is crazy. Oh, and Steve's excited because he's on camera right now because he's looking at the view. So I see the center button was what turned it on. You've got an upper and lower function button. What are those? Those are user configurable. So if you want to attach one of your own apps, whether it's iHeart Radio or Google Maps or something, whatever it is, you can hit that button and it will do the same thing. You can just hit it up on your smartphone. So you're not like Apple. You're giving us buttons just in case we want more buttons. That's right. And when will those be available? This will be available in April for $249. Wow. That's a really good price point. You pay thousands for them in your car if you buy them in not aftermarket, but the original ones. Or you can buy cheap ones that are $99, but you have to drill holes and they really don't work very well. I was never excited about the drilling the holes. My mechanic, Honda Bob, would drill holes in his bumper, but I wasn't going to do it to mine. So if people want to learn more about this, where would they go? They come to www.cobra.com. All right. Thank you very much. This is fantastic. Thank you, Dave.


Some of you may have already seen this video and you may have been able to see it. I am sure you know it's all because of the happiness. Because the paths we take together have a infinite variety of stories. The fish I fish every day are only found in the season. We eat a lot and this is the end of the world. And we must change the world. It's time to take action. We all have a role to play. Let's make the best of life and the society here. We need a food system that sustains lives, the planet and protects its workers. Because our journey is one, our actions are our future.


There are two important extensions of synthetic division that are worth discussing. So let's say I want to divide xq plus 3x squared minus 7x plus 8 by 2x minus 5. And the first thing you should say is, wait a minute! We can only use synthetic division when our divisor is of the form x minus a. Any other use voids our warranty. And that's a good point. Our divisor is not of the form x minus a. So it looks like we're going to have to use the long division algorithm. And while everybody loves doing long division, we might still be able to use synthetic division on this if we remember an important property from the real numbers. A divided by b is the same as a divided by n divided by b divided by n. Since we want a divisor of the form x minus a, we can divide 2x minus 5 by 2. But that will require that we divide both dividend and divisor by 2. So we'll throw in our coefficient of 1 and divide every coefficient by 2. And now since our divisor is of the form x minus something, we can use synthetic division. And now we're go for synthetic division. Drop the leading coefficient. Multiply by 5 halves. We'll need to add to the next column, which means adding two fractions together. So we'll find a common denominator and add. Multiply by 5 halves. Add to the next column. Again, we need to find a common denominator to add. Multiply by 5 halves. Add to the next column. And since this is the last column, we're done and we can read off our answer. One important idea. The last entry here is the remainder. But it's the remainder when we divide by x minus 5 halves. This is not the remainder when we divide by 2x minus 5. However, it's still the numerator of our remainder when we write it in fraction form as long as we use the divisor x minus 5 halves. Which allows us to express our quotient as a polynomial plus a rational expression. Another extension of synthetic division comes from the following useful idea. A polynomial in x is a polynomial that can be expressed as a sum of terms of the form sum coefficient times a power of x. And so this means that something like 3x squared plus 5x plus 7, well that's a polynomial in x. Similarly for something like this, even though the coefficient is horrifying. And importantly, something like this is actually a polynomial in x, because every term is something times a power of x. Now notice that because we have this square root of y here, this is not going to be a polynomial in y, because our power on y is not a whole number. But that does mean that something like this is a polynomial in x, because every term is something times a power of x. And it's also a polynomial in y for the same reason every term is something times a power of y. And that means we can use synthetic division on something like this. So again the important check is that our divisor is of the form x minus something, which it is. For a setup we need to set down the coefficients. So let's set this up as a long division, throwing that coefficient of 1. And our coefficients are everything that is not a power of x. So remember our synthetic division records the coefficients and each column corresponds to some power of x. So we can read our dividend as being 1x cubed plus 3yx squared plus 7yx plus y cubed, which is what we want it to be. And we're ready for synthetic division. Drop the leading coefficient, multiply by y, and add to the next. Multiply by y and add to the next. Multiply by y and add to the next. And that gives us our quotient and remainder. And we can write this. Remember that these correspond to the coefficients of x squared, x, the constant, and the numerator of a rational expression whose denominator is x minus y. Again, we may have to use coefficients of 1, 0, or even negative numbers. So for example, a division like this might begin by rewriting the dividend, so it is a polynomial in x with 1 and 0 coefficients as needed. Our divisor needs to be of the form x minus something, so we'll rewrite that as x minus negative y. And removing our powers of x, we're now ready for synthetic division. So we'll drop our leading coefficient, multiply by negative y and add, lather, rinse. And we're at the end of the table, so we won't repeat this. But we can read off our result, which we should express as a quotient plus a rational expression.


Alright YouTube team keep it clean. Um, we just gonna jump straight into this because this thing has been floating around like crazy today Um, I have got a lot of DMs about it a lot of tweets a lot of messages a lot of all that stuff about this article That's got that was put out today from the New York Post I have seen it all up and down instagrams from several different ravens fan accounts Um, and this thing has been running rampant So we are going to address it and attempt to clear some things up for you So moving forward. You don't have any uh confusion or anything like that So anyway So the article was from the New York Post saying, uh, the ravens are trying to cut Earl Thomas So that headline grabbed a lot of people's attention, of course Why wouldn't it the ravens are trying to cut Earl Thomas? Everybody know Earl Thomas is a really good safety So why would they be trying to cut him? Well, we all know of the incident that happened We don't need to go into details of the incident. We don't need to I don't care who you thought was right or wrong We ain't worried about none of that right now But with this article Let's see what got everybody talking today um, so It says the Baltimore Sun reported the incident could violate his contract that isn't up until 2022 I said the ravens a source told the paper weren't thrilled with Thomas last year They felt he freelance too often and he struggled with their defensive schemes creating friction with teammates so um, this is Something that's uh, a little vague But it could hold some weight when you think about it because Um, he's when it says they felt he freelance too often and he struggled with their defensive schemes We could see last year throughout the season that Earl Thomas was not all the way comfortable in the ravens defense As we all know the ravens and wing martin del they run a very complex defense Um, and it takes some time to really get a full grasp of it I mean asked the last free safety. We had eric wettel took him like two three years to really get super comfortable To where he was really running the show and getting everybody lined up and everything was good to go with eric wettel um, so with Earl Thomas this being the first time that he was on a new team um, and him being going from seattle to ravens defense big difference a lot more detailed a lot more complex a lot harder, so I I mean it wasn't no surprise when we had we had actually first heard reports I think doing a training camp women when Earl first came on board and they first all practicing and stuff We had started hearing reports about it then that Earl was having a tough time really getting things So that part it acted it holds some weight and then the part about um He struggled with no creating friction with teammates We all know Earl Thomas.  He is very straightforward with his thought He doesn't say much But when he does talk he is very straightforward with his thoughts. He will say exactly what's on his mind He don't care He don't care. Um, and when it says that uh, he created some friction with his teammates Obviously, we remember the whole thing between that came out between him and Brandon Williams Saying that they were arguing in the locker room and one of my guys put the best He said it was it was like the new kid on the block He came through and he argued with somebody that's been here. Oh, that's a big yikes That's a big yikes And then of course we we all know about Earl Thomas and the the infamous hamstring pull up But he pulled up because he said no no, I ain't trying to have my hamstring pulled Now some people were like, hey, it ain't no point in chasing after somebody if you can't catch him Some other people were like, hey, I felt like that showed a lack of effort and a lack of leadership Y'all know how I felt about it. If you need a reminder, you can go watch the video from back then so um, and then of course another thing with Earl Thomas that could have possibly created some friction and gave this that part Let let that part hold even more weight Was Earl Thomas again with his talking He would have these interviews with the post game with the pre game with During the week getting ready for the game He would have these interviews where he would drop these one liners and they'll be like, oh, man Why did he say that? Why did he say that whether it was Earl Saying that the Ravens were gonna be playing in the Super Bowl whether it was Earl saying Oh, it looks like people don't really want to tackle Derek Henry whether it was Earl saying. Oh, man with the chiefs We I gotta stop the big place. I'm gonna stop the big place And there was some other stuff too, but I could see how that could have created some friction With other teammates being like, uh, you gotta chill man. You're talking too much. I could see that I don't know if it's for sure or not. But hey, based off of that alone from what we saw in the public eye Okay, that could allow this part to hold some weight and actually seem credible But you know what? Let's just go straight to the Baltimore Suns article that they put out so Baltimore Sun article said a Raven spokesperson said Thursday That the team became aware of the situation when we read and saw it on the reports late last night and early this morning So again, as we have all heard before Ravens actually they put out a statement the very next day um After Earl Thomas went to instagram and said what what was gonna happen and that he was excuse me that he was going to be on TMZ Ravens put out a report the next morning saying oh, this was the first time that they heard about it um, so anyway Next paragraph says according to a team official who spoke on the condition on the condition of anonymity So he wanted to remain anonymous. Okay, I understand that He said the Ravens are looking into the incident to determine whether Earl Thomas Whether Earl Thomas's conduct violated his contract, which runs through 2022 The official said there were times last season when Ravens coaches thought Thomas strayed from their team concept And that it struggles grasping the defense's schemes in the secondary Sometimes put him at odds with teammates. So again everything that we talked about before um, but another thing too another incident, uh, was the In the Titans were Marlon Humphrey When he took blame for a play that a lot of people thought was on Earl Thomas But Marlon Humphrey said no, that was me that's on me And some people felt like oh that's Marlon just Marlon was just taking up form Some people felt like oh, well, maybe Marlon's telling you who knows Go look at the film. Anyway, um So that was that so that that's the Baltimore Sun. That's what it said in the article So again, it says that the Ravens were looking into the incident to determine whether Earl Thomas's conduct violated his contract Which runs through 2022 If the Ravens, um, so again the question is are the Ravens really trying to cut Earl Thomas? They could be They could be because they could be almost looking for an out Because the Ravens they did they they gave him a lot of money They gave him a lot of money and I remember when um when Earl Thomas first got signed I was happy that we got Earl Thomas, but at the same time I was like, whoa That is a boat load of money. That's a lot and I was worried because I'm like, man He coming off of the two broken legs and whatnot. I know what he can do But I'm just like I was a little hesitant. I wasn't all in at first But it was the same way with uh mark Ingram. I wasn't all in on that on them signing him at first But I saw the deal and I was like, okay, uh cheap deal worst that could happen as he doesn't do good But I'm sure he'll do fine and he did great and his impact on the team was amazing He was a leader. He was a spokesperson. He brought it such a great vibe I mean look at his last name. It's Ingram. Why wouldn't he bring a good vibe? But anyway, um With Earl Thomas, I was cool with the Ravens signing him But my only thing was I was like wow and I hate nobody getting that money now Um, but I was like, whoa, that's a lot of money And then when when we found out that uh, he was getting ready to sign with the chiefs For one year, uh eight or nine mil. I was like, what and we signed him for four years 55 But again with the same thing I've been saying about that contract. It was it was uh, I was about to say Earl Dacosta It was Eric Dacosta letting Earl Thomas know like hey, I'm giving you a deal that you cannot refuse And he was making sure that Earl Thomas signed it He was making sure Because had he come with some old rinky thing. Oh, you know what? I'm gonna get you a one year 10 million dollar deal Well, yeah, that's that's two mil more than eight mil that he was going to get from the chiefs but it's like, uh Two mil don't make a big difference when it's still a one year contract And he could be looking at what the chiefs did the previous year and be like, oh, they were so close They just need a couple more playmakers on defense and they'll be over the top They'll be over the top And then look what happened. They went over the top and they won a super bowl. Um, so One or two mil it wouldn't make a big difference with uh, signing Earl Thomas away from the chiefs So Eric Dacosta said hey, um, you know what? I'm bringing it I am bringing it and he certainly brought it up four year I think 55 million dollar deal like 33 to 35 million dollars guaranteed Guaranteed they're like there's no way There's no way that anybody's turning that down go like going from a one year eight million nine million dollar deal to a four year 55 million dollar deal with 35 mil guaranteed Like your guarantees alone are bigger than the uh, the deal that you were gonna get with the chiefs guarantees alone So Like of course, he wasn't gonna say no not to that But what this situation could possibly be we don't know for sure Because we not on the inside But what it could possibly be if if it if it is true It could be the Ravens sort of finding an out from that Sort of sort of being like uh, well, um Maybe we shouldn't have paid them so much. Maybe they maybe they have a little bit of regret Maybe they have a bit of regret That could be one of the reasons that they could be looking for an out another reason too Is to just wash their hands of the entire situation Like I said, I I don't care who you feel was wrong or who you feel was more wrong But as far as the Ravens, they may want to be like, you know what? We don't even want anything to have to do with it And that could be that it's not an easy way out They would definitely have to come correct because you know if they didn't come correct Earl will be on the phone with the with the union with the players union I mean he he probably got them on on on speed dial right now just in case Just in case but you know if Ravens were to cut them they would have to come correct, man They would have to come correct. Um, so It's just a very very sticky situation. It's a very tricky situation Um, and it's a situation that it's it's not going away anytime soon Um, and this is it's gonna get worse before it gets better It's gonna get worse before it gets better One of the the the the good the bright spots about the whole situation is that nobody got hurt physically Mentally is different, but it is good that nobody hurt got hurt physically So the one of the the bright spots about the situation is that everybody involved can learn from it Everybody involved can learn from it and can be better in the future hopefully Everybody involved every last person involved Not just Earl Thomas and his wife, but everybody involved can be better moving forward That's that's what I hope for them But anyway, um Another article that came out from uh from pro football talk Mike Florio and I believe he used to be a lawyer So, you know, he's good with the contract. Anyway, he said per source with knowledge of the contract The ravens have no basis to contend that Earl Thomas violated the contract avoided his guaranteed salary Thomas was not arrested. If anything, he was the victim not the aggressor in the altercation with his wife Uh, it is believed that if a team source did indeed tell the Baltimore Sun that the team is exploring a potential violation The team source is a low level staffer who either Doesn't understand the situation and or is looking to stir up trouble for Thomas. So What Mike Florio is making it seem like it sound like he's just saying that somebody's being messy Somebody in the ravens organization could be being messy, but he didn't say he said it's believed that It's believed that so that means it's he said allegedly if a team source did indeed tell the Baltimore Sun So he's saying if he didn't say that he didn't say the team source Did tell that no he said it's believed that So you got to look at the wording with these articles and whatnot because that's very important So he's not holding anybody to this. He's just saying if The possibilities Allegedly all that good stuff. But anyway, he said again It's believed that if a team source did indeed tell the Baltimore Sun that the team is exploring a potential violation The team source is a low level staffer who either doesn't understand the situation And or is looking to stir up trouble for Thomas So he's saying that it's somebody who may not get the whole thing may not understand everything going on or everything involved Or somebody that might be like, you know, what I don't I don't excuse me almost burp He's saying, you know what? I don't like Earl Thomas. And you know what? I'm gonna try to get this guy out of here Let me let me put something out there But we don't know we don't know then the last paragraph said if the Ravens could void the 10 million guarantee and walk away from the deal They possibly would so nothing concrete. He just says they possibly would So they possibly would but they possibly might not Could go either way. Um, and he said but they can't At most they have the ability Uh to cut Thomas and realize an offset for whatever he earns elsewhere So meaning if they were to cut Earl Thomas, then, um Anybody I believe he would go on waivers. I believe or maybe he might become a media free agent either way But if they were to cut uh, Earl Thomas, they would hope that Um, he would be signed by somebody else and depending on the type of contract that they gave him and depending on the guaranteed money Then that would offset like for instance If If he went to the brown if the ravens caught him and he went to the just using them as an example Please don't get all up to anyway If the ravens caught him and he went to the browns and the brown signed him to a five million dollar guaranteed deal Then that would offset five million dollars of the ten million dollars that he's guaranteed from the ravens So they would be only be on a hook for five million Dollars and guaranteed money and the browns will be on hook for the other five million since they've given him five million guaranteed I believe if i'm wrong, please contract people. Let me know in the comment section. Um, but anyway, he said, uh, Yeah, at most they would have the ability to cut Earl Thomas and realize an offset for whatever he earns elsewhere Chances are he wouldn't earn ten mil. So um bottom line If the ravens all gonna try to do this if they are gonna try to release him Um, it is going to take literally everything. It's going to take every lawyer in that building You know, they got the people that they know them contracts in and out but They It won't be easy It won't be no walk in the park and if they do it if even if they find a reason You know, Earl Thomas will fight it. You know, he will fight it and really try to recoup all ten mil of that money So based off his contract alone, I don't think the ravens are gonna cut him But if they can find one little thing One little thing Then you never know but either way We'll see what happens team. Keep it clean. I love y'all. I appreciate y'all and like Earl Thomas might or might not be I'm out


I welcome everyone to this virtual community meeting regarding the upcoming Riverside area street reconstruction project. This is 2018 bond year 3 contract 7. City project number 101 453. This is our pre construction community meeting in preparation for the upcoming start of construction on the streets associated with this project. My name is Greg Robbins and I am a project manager with the city of Fort Worth's. Transportation public works department and I'll be the project manager during the construction phase of this project. Presentation is meant to provide you with some information about the scope of this project that is happening in your area. The improvements that are to be expected and the schedule of construction. For the streets that are part of this project, so here's the agenda that I hope to cover in my brief presentation. I'll be talking about the project as a whole providing a summary of the improvements on each street associated with the project. Discussing the expected construction schedule and phasing and allowing time at the end for any or some questions and comments. So, first, we'll talk about the overall scope of the improvements associated with the project. This project is part of the 2018 bond, as I mentioned, which was voted on and approved by the residents of Fort Worth. There are 5 streets associated with the contract 7. They are Ellis road from use street to Sandy Lane. King's highway from Bain Street to Wheeler Street. Hope you street from Marseille Street to airport freeway. Seaman Street from East Belknap Street to Clary Street and Selma Street from Britain Street to Torrey Street. So, next, I'll be talking about a summary of the improvements on each street individually. For this project, we're going to be installing new concrete streets and driveways on all the streets associated with the project. You may remember if you attended the design public meeting a few months back that we were planning on replacing the existing asphalt street with new asphalt pavement. Well, we bid this project with the design, a bid alternative for asphalt and concrete and concrete ended up being the cheaper option. So, I'm happy to tell you that. You'll be getting concrete pavement for, for all the streets, which should provide you longer service life than asphalt streets also associated with the project are new concrete sidewalks as well as 88 wheelchair ramps. And also new water and sewer utility improvements as well under the streets. So now I'm going to go into each street individually and discuss the improvements that are expected to be made. So starting here with Ellis road. We're going to be providing new concrete pavement and also reconstructing all the damaged driveways Ellis road from the, from the limits from Sandy Lane to Muse on King's highway. We're going to be up sizing the existing 10 inch sewer to a 12 inch and upgrading the existing 15 inch water to an 18 inch for paving improvements. We're going to be providing new concrete pavement. Also reconstructive dam reconstructing damaged driveways and we'll also be installing a five that sidewalk on the east side of the street. Oh, you street will be receiving an upsized sewer line from six inch to eight inch also will be upgrading the existing six inch water to eight inch for paving. We're going to be providing new concrete pavement as well as reconstructing damaged driveways. Seaman street will be replacing the eight inch water as well as the eight inch sewer under the street and for paving improvements will be providing new concrete pavement reconstructed reconstructing damaged driveways as well as installing a five foot sidewalk on the west side of the street. On Selma street, we're going to be up sizing the existing six inch sewer to an eight inch as well as upgrading the existing six inch water to eight inch for paving. It's going to be new concrete pavement. Reconstructing damaged driveways as well as installing a five foot sidewalk on both sides of the street. And I want to make a note here that Selma street is partially in Holtam city and partially in Fort Worth and the proportion of this street will be funded by Holtam city. So now I'm going to talk a little bit about the construction phasing and anticipated schedule. So these are the dates that were provided to us by the contractor that we have on board for this project. We're planning a construction start date of April 5th of this year. As far as phasing goes, we're planning on starting on Selma street right at the beginning of the project in April of 2021 and moving then to Ellis and then to King's Selma street and then finally Oakview street to finish up the project in about March of 2022. And I want to make a note that just like the unprecedented storm of last week, we never know when delays are going to occur due to weather unearthing and expected unexpected franchise utility or any other unexpected delays. Please understand that this represents the initial schedule provided to us by the contractor and when as of right now you can expect work to be performed in your area on your street. You may also notice that the timelines overlap somewhat that's because the contractor will have multiple crews and subcontractors that perform different types of work that'll be rotating to different streets when their work is complete. So we've come now to the end of the presentation. So we'll move into our question and comment support the presentation. You have any any questions. If you're any questions in the chat, we'll take those first. Then we can get to anybody who may have a question on the phone. Correct. There are currently not any questions in the chat window. Okay. I don't think there is any residents. It's all internal staff or contractor and consultant. Okay. With that, thank you to everybody in attendance today. Here is my contact information. Feel free to reach out to me if you have by phone or email if you have any questions or comments for later. Also, we have the, the contact information for the Fort Worth construction inspector as well as the halftime city construction inspector. W your first point of contact during construction. Anything else, please feel free to give me a call and I'll, I'll do my best to help you out. I look forward to hearing from you and everybody have a good evening.

What's good, George, you're brought us back again with another video and I wanted to make this video Addressing a lot of the comments and the feedback I've gotten over the past three videos that I've dropped on my channel talking about Brock Lesnar winning his recent match in the fatal five way he was inserted into to become the new WWE champion and Obviously you guys know I wasn't really a big fan of it I felt like they could have did things better in a sense of you know really Creating I guess I wouldn't say create a new star, but like really elevating somebody within that match I'm gonna go break that down, you know later on in this video, but a lot of you guys I Don't know if you weren't paying attention in my video My thoughts and opinions, but I was receiving some interesting comments And I wanted to kind of break down the reoccurring comments I was see were receiving and and I want to kind of have a Dialogue with you guys. This is one of those I'm one of those people in and this is one This is gonna be one of those channels where I'm not gonna just be going off on people in the comments sections Or anything like that unless you say something while I'm just to delete your comment and block you But I want to have that back-and-forth because that's how we you know just have you know interesting conversations Interesting debates. We can agree to disagree, but in certain situations I'll be really trying to figure out all y'all even watching the video some of y'all not all of y'all but some of y'all and the first major point is There was a lot of not a lot, but there was few individuals that were saying oh Because you didn't like this ending now. You're not gonna watch the Royal Rumble Let me roll the clip to tell you exactly what was said in that same video We won't be probably checking out anymore WWE live stream and reactions on The intercuts pay on the intercuts pay on the intercuts pay on the intercuts pay Did I say I wasn't going to watch the video like watch WWE watch the Royal Rumble on my personal channel. I said on the intercuts page. It's done dub Trilobilly they're not trying to watch it no more The whole reason why we did the live stream reaction on the intercuts page Because obviously a lot of you guys are wrestling fans and you guys come from the intercuts page And we thought it would be something dope and interesting to incorporate on the bigger channel so that's why we originally did it and I was trying to get them back into the swing of wrestling because they haven't really just been watching Wrestling like that. So this was my way to get them back into it to check out every WWE major pay-per-view the only problem is Them seeing Brock win and in the fashion they were kind of done with it Especially dub dub was definitely done with it. So that's why I said we probably won't be checking out any more of the pay-per-views On the intercuts page. I clearly said it just posted the clip of me saying it and then people were still commenting Oh, so because you guys didn't like the ending. You're not gonna watch. You're not gonna watch wrestling anymore I'm like, what are you talking about? I never said that this is why it's called pay attention Clearly, I said in a coach page won't be checking it out anymore. I never said I won't be checking it out on this page I will be live streaming and reacting doing live streaming reactions to AEW pay-per-views and WWE pay-per-views still so that's just One thing I wanted to clarify and who's to say we still don't do AEW pay-per-views on the main channel It's just I had to put that out there cuz some of you guys were really confused. Oh, why would you stop over this booking? It's not that serious. I never said I would they're not doing it So if you wanted to happen on intercuts page, it's probably not gonna happen. I'm just be honest with you so That's the first thing I really wanted to kind of talk about the next thing I really want to bring up is the fact that a lot of you guys have seemed to Like forgotten that The match was originally a fatal four-way Brock was added because of a certain circumstance And then y'all automatically soon Well Brock has to win it now because he was added in the match and forgot about all the other competitors a Lot of you guys did because as soon as he was added to the match now all of a sudden It was obvious he was gonna win. No, it wasn't obvious He's gonna win anytime Brock's is in a multi-fue match like a multi-man match and he's not the champion There's a good chance. He may not win it only because he's not gonna have to eat the pin The only time even even if he is the champion the reason why they do these multi-man matches Like multi-person individual matches is so that way they can keep certain people strong and certain people don't have to eat pins So the fact that you guys automatically assume he was gonna win and then everyone we're not everyone But a lot of you guys just forgot about everybody else who else is gonna win it gotta be brought No, it don't and I'm not even saying biggie should have won it I'm saying anybody else could have won it a lot of people were thinking Seth could have won it a lot of people were thinking Kevin Owens could have won it. That's fine with me Yeah, if you wanted to have big he retained apparently he was supposed to potentially retain the title big He could have retained it or if you wanted to give Bobby Lashley another one Bobby Lashley could have regained the championship There's a plethora of things that could have happened They have been building this up for quite some time for weeks now to all of a sudden have Brock lessen and come into the match and just win And it wasn't like he just worked the entire match He took a couple bumps He was out the match for majority of the match and then came back in and won with a couple of fives That was it and I get it. I understand People paid to see Brock in a match. They didn't want to disappoint the fans So it's like, you know, we're gonna put him in this match I'm okay with that as long as the booking made sense and to me that booking just didn't make sense But a lot of you guys say it did and a lot of you guys say they made made sense for this very one reason I don't know how many times I've seen. Oh Brock winning the championship can set up a feud with Bobby Lashley Ladies and gentlemen, I want y'all to understand Just because Brock Lesnar is the champion now Does not automatically just set up this amazing feud for Bobby. In fact, here's here's the thing I want you guys to understand Brock Lesnar doesn't need the belt He hasn't needed the belt in quite some time You want to know why he doesn't need the belt because he's already solidified and legitimate He's never really needed the belt. I'm just being honest with you So him winning this match and you a lot of you guys thinking he needed to win the match because the new WWE champion To only feud with a Bobby. No He could have easily feud it with Bobby without the title that match is still a WrestleMania match with With or without the title. It doesn't need the title. I'm just just keep it a stat People could say oh wait enhances the feud. Does it really enhance it that much? Does it really because you also got to ask yourself if we're talking about enhancing the feud and Brock being the champion Who's to say Bobby Lashley even wins unless that's what you're trying to do You're trying to give Bobby Lashley that extra rub over Brock So not only do you want him to beat Brock potentially you want him to beat him for the championship That's where it's like That's where that's a gray area you feel me That's why I say it doesn't really need the championship only because you don't really you're not trying to build up this story in a sense of trying to Go with Bobby Lashley being the underdog here because Bobby Lashley is legitimate within himself He already had a pretty solid championship run recently last year so it's like okay if we're gonna go this route and We're gonna put the strap on Lesnar Then it would only make sense to build up Bobby Lashley to take the strap off of him Right from a lot of you guys perspective, but we also got to remember who's running the company. It's Vince McMahon Vince likes Bobby, but he loves Roman and that's where you guys are to just Overlooking here Bobby will be a stepping stone For Roman that's literally what it is. I Could see them facing each other at the Royal Rumble and guess what Bobby will lose. I'm just being honest with you I hope it's not in a squash type match, but Bobby will lose. He won't win Roman Reign Brock Lesnar is not losing that championship until probably WrestleMania. Let's I'm just be honest with you And the only person I could see really beating him for it is Bobby And I'm gonna be honest with you here if he faced at Royal Rumble is not happening because they want Roman versus Brock. I'm yeah, that's it. That's that's the match they want for WrestleMania That's the match Vince wants for WrestleMania And he's gonna do everything he can to make that match happen. So for those who are saying Oh, yeah, this is a perfect way to set up Brock versus Bobby at WrestleMania. It's not happening I can tell you that now it's not I don't see it happening Only because of how much Vince loves him some Roman, especially right now and how much they want to tell that story They'll tell the Brock and Bobby lastly story at Royal Rumble. I can see them doing that but once again Bobby's not beating Brock because it doesn't make sense to put the championship on Brock for like a couple weeks So who it doesn't matter who Brock faces at the Royal Rumble. He's not Losing until probably WrestleMania. So that that that's why I'm really just confused on people sitting here really thinking Oh He had to have the championship for that match to happen No, he could have just had that match to happen It's an easy way to you could have booked that Bobby will actually be the reason why Brock Lesnar doesn't capitalize on a pin and then someone else does And he went that other person wins the match That's literally how you can easily set up a few simple Simple, bro. That's that's all I'm saying People are just making excuses to see Brock as a champ. But at the end of the day The the situation is This is Vince hot shop booking Because he feels like Brock is the better draw Out of everybody he has and ultimately Brock is a nice draw. But at the same time, he doesn't have faith in his main eventers His top people on his card. He doesn't because if you have faith in them He wouldn't do this. He wouldn't do this type of booking in the sense of having him win He would have him in the match, but he wouldn't have him win We got a solid roster here if someone gets injured that hey that next person up they They they're good. They can carry the company We don't have that because they haven't been booking people and telling consistent stories to buy into that if that makes any sense So they go these routes. That's what I was trying to get people to understand. I'm cool with Brock being in the match I just think he didn't have to win it But I understand they wanted to make a big surprise because they had to pull an audible But at the same time you can't tell me that's just it's the best for business in the sense of Your future. This is what it should always be about your future Hell WWE is having issues on the women's side of things for the women's royal rumble Because they've released so many women over the past year They may have to they don't even have enough people to wrestle in the women's royal rumble So they're gonna have to ask Old older, you know Hall of Famers and people from the past and nxt stars and a lot of people don't know to wrestle in the royal rumble Come on now. So that's what I'm saying. It should we always be building up your future because at the end of the day That's that's that's what's gonna keep the company going.  This is gonna be great for smackdown. He's gonna be a mega draw I don't see Brock Doing weekly shows on monday night and Friday night. I just don't see it happening. Yes. He's a free agent. He can move between shows, but I'm telling you this now Brock only came back because of his part-time schedule because that's what he likes Now I can see him maybe having more dates But I just don't see it see him being a full-time competitor And the thing about being the WWE champion You want to be on the shows you may you may not be there every week But you want to be on the shows on a semi weekly basis because you are The champion the people need to see the champion you create feuds off of seeing the champion Who's going to be in the next in line to face the champion? And you can't really do that if you don't see the guy We've seen it years ago when block was the wwe champion They're just creating feuds and he's just whoever wants to fight for the belt They're just talking to us the crowd, but they're not talking to the actual person because he's not there You know I'm saying it's like the it's like monday night raw didn't have a champion for a while Because the champion was not physically there. You barely saw him and I don't want that to be the situation here I'm hoping it's not going to be the situation here But anytime Brock wins the championship, I automatically get flashbacks to that and I automatically get PTSD because I'm like, bro This is why I didn't understand why people were so excited and not and it's like they forgot It's like some of you guys forgot that this is the same guy that held the championship for hostage So we will see how they move thing how things move forward You know, we will see if he's on a more regular schedule Because honestly, he's gonna have to be because smackdown is done without drew without roman and there's no Mega, you know, there's no big players on smackdown Smackdown is not looking too good and then raw has all the mega players and you can make some interesting stories But brock has to be there to make that story work to make these stories work So we will see I'm willing to give it a chance, but I still don't think he should have won the title That's just my personal opinion on it. We can agree to disagree I just feel like if you wanted Brock versus Bobby Lashley All you have to do simply is just set up that few within that match The title is not needed for it. That's just my personal opinion. So comment down below Let me know your your thoughts and opinions on this whole situation Do you think brock will be a full time in the individual or have a more of a full time schedule on Monday night and friday night Or do you feel like it's gonna be how it was in the past and we may not see him as much Appreciate y'all kicking it with me. I'll see y'all next one. Peace


Yeah, no, we're pleased to this point. What does it mean? Well, it means everything because it's your you're immersed in your work and this is your life. So, yeah, it's been a pleasant start for us. I set high standards for the players. I really try and push them in a productive, positive way, so they reach their maximum levels. So that's why I say I'm not sure if buzz is the word that they would use to describe it, but it's a good place. I enjoy being there. I love working with the players, their attitude to the work is second to none and it's an enjoyable place to be. We've prepared well, but there's no guarantees. This is a tough game for us. Full on play, a very good attractive brand of football and one that we're going to have to counteract and try and impose ourselves on. They've got some very good players, a good way of playing and we know we're going to have to be at the top of our game to win and I think that goes the same everywhere we go in the Premier League when you go away from home.
