It's made out of coffee bean waste and every cycloplasmic point of the screen. Oh my gosh, we have some students working on a dress made out of cycloplasmic. Oh cool, cool. Yeah. This is called Ecotec. I think A-C-O-T-E-X. So like Gore-Tec. Nice. Ecological. I'll look it up. Yeah. I'm just impressed with you coming out of the secret room. Yeah. That was pretty awesome. Yeah. It's literally out of the closet. Thanks for meeting with us today. It's funny we're talking about the clothing, right? Because it directly connects to our big school project this year. So we can continue with that being with closing the circular cycling. That's right. Upcycling. Upcycling. Yeah. We're doing an upcycling project, but I feel like we're taking it to even a higher level than most upcycling. Because we're going to repurpose the plastic. So not the clothes, but hats. Hats. Yeah. Or like we're going to build like rock building materials. Oh cool. That's awesome. Construct things for our community. But yeah, so we're here to tell you about our project a little bit. About some of our best teachers in our PBL school. And then in hopes of when you visit in December, you have a kind of a right mindset. So this is the dress rehearsal. A bit. Or just like to get to know the project, right? Because we hope the more important people that are into this recycling, also PBL. I guess our mission is to bring PBL to Taiwan. Is it different learning that bit, right? That's right. So just the more people get on board with that, the better. So I hope you come and support us. I think the project is cool. It's going to motivate everybody. That's why we're here today. Hey. Yeah. Do you have anything? Julie is a big fan. She might be a little shy. Cool. Do you want to hear about our project? Please. Okay, cool. So our project is called the Sea Change Project. Okay. You know, it's a small idea of becoming a revolution, right? Yeah. This plastic recycling. It also literally changed the city. Exactly. A glistening degree. Exactly, yeah. Some of the things, we're working with a community partner who does some of this plastic processing for us, kind of like civil machines like this with heat. Yeah. And so we have this massive Japanese plastic shredder at school. And we started a recycling program. And through our PBL, each subject is kind of responsible for a different aspect of the project. For example, the engineering class built our sorting station. And so we designed it and sketched it and built it. Now the kids are bringing in plastic. We're feeding it through the shredder. And we're producing just lots and lots of plastic plates separated by plastic site. And then we deliver those plastic shreds to our community partner, Taiwan 4 Recycling Co.  Yeah. They're being surfers. They wanted to clean up the beach. So they started this recycling company. And we ended up meeting and talking to them. And I said, this is really good for a PBL project to do something real like this. So their mission is educating Taiwanese in the importance of recycling, but also finding innovations for the plastic pandemic and pollution problem environment. And then cultivating circular economy, revolution through community initiatives and industrial partnerships. So our branches, we're the school branch for them. And we're working with them. So our whole curriculum is built around this shredding of plastic, right? Learning science of plastic, and marketing through promoting this idea. And ultimately what we do build is going to be for the community. So some examples of things we can do are these kind of things. Molds. Like Lego blocks. Yeah. Like in Milton. Shoot into a mold. Let it cool off. And we can do Lego projects, right? Or even things like something like this where it's artistic angle, right? Something like that. From on your desk. Or whatever. Pretty good. Yeah. So we're kind of, it takes a lot of effort, but through all that effort in the partnership we can produce these raw materials. And then it's up to the kids to figure out what we do with this. And then when we build something for the community, it's also just sharing this idea. So we're going to QR code it. Someone's sitting on a bench we made. Somewhere, right? We want to build things to make the community come together and just have conversations. And maybe they scan the code. Is it a chair? It talks to them. Yeah, or something, right? It's a weird plastic chair. They say, don't they? They scan the code. And you're sitting on 9,000 water bottles. And then they can start thinking about it. Interesting. Yeah. So the problem is time one's really good. And I think we recycle 90% of what can be recycled. The capacity is only 70%. Actually, it's about 30% just gets burned. So we're trying to get that 30% down as much as we can. We hope this program we're piloting this year can be like copy and pasted at other schools. It's not that hard. It's fairly simple technology. And why can't we do it in every single school? That's right. We actually get the 30% down.  A good backbone for learning content. Right? Because that's the purpose. So that's it in that show. You have my headache? Paul? Yeah. I was going to say that the interdisciplinary aspect is pretty fun. Yeah. Like a marketing team work with, you know, I do like music and like software, like music engineering with them and trying to figure out how we can all make it work about like sea change and upcycling. And it's just, it's like fun problem solving and the students get pretty into it, which is fun. So there's a same track for the sea change too? Yeah. We're working on it. Yeah. Awesome. Yeah. I think 70 students now have specialties on us, but they cross over so much, you know, like we're making a video. There's a group making a video about the history of plastic. How have humans become so reliant on this? You know, what were humans before plastic? Where we are now? Where is it going? And they're like, I might need some cool music. I need some scary music. So we go to chess classes. They're a music team. I need scary music and we can teach through that. And so it's just a lot of things that need to line up well. Right? But it's a cool model because it's just kind of how the real world works Yeah. It's like basically like an ecosystem that is like a smaller version of what's happening in the world when we're all trying to tackle a similar problem. There's going to need to be like a lot of cross-collaboration. And so they're really practicing like from what I see every day. It's like they're practicing a lot of like problem solving and they're practicing like a lot of design and also yeah. Social skills. Exactly. Research and reaching out to each other and seeing how like how each subject they might seem very different, but how they can actually cross and benefit from each other. I think that's something really exciting and different for them because they're used to like really categorizing like different types of like being viewed. So called disciplines. Yeah. Yeah. So, you know, the modern world, you have to be good at a lot of things. You create them, you get them communicating. You know, like the old days where you're really good at one thing and they're gone. Just kind of excited to bring this model to Taiwan. It's really interesting watching our students adapt to it. We're getting students from very traditional schools and we're just growing up in this new learning environment. It's really fun to watch them adapt to it. And I'm a big believer in PBL. I've been doing it for a long time in California and things. So seeing them work there quite well. And I'm really happy with the way the Taiwanese kids are. Yeah. They're changing so rapidly. They really are. So like recently had SLC, which is called like it stands for Student Life Conference. And so it's kind of like a play, a twist on parent teacher conference. So where the student actually leads and reflects on their own performance at school. And we got to meet a lot of the parents and a lot of the feedback that we've got was like the students they changed and improved in such a short amount of time. And a lot of them are actually really excited to go to school and like bringing in the whole family as well into their project. And some families are saying they feel like they're a part of the C-Change project as well. Some families are like I've never heard my child speak this much in the last five years. It's like wow. They have really nice things to say. You can give them space. Yeah. They're self-motivated because they're doing what they want to be doing. And they're in charge of their own project. So that's like what is really exciting though. Yeah. We have one new student come from the Taipei First Girls High School. That's the top one girls high school in Taiwan. So I asked her why she'd make a decision and come to the IS. She told me she wanted to get a totally different learning experience in the IS. That's awesome. That's fantastic. Yeah. The plan works. Yeah. It's fun to watch her change. I was getting like when I first met her like hi Mia. You know it's like hearing headlights look and now we're like talking about the design for the table she wants to build. They've got some industrial wooden spools they're using and she's like I think I should do it like this. We're just throwing ideas around and the scared look is like faded away. Yeah. A real sense of community now. Yeah. Yeah. We don't go by like Mr. McMahon or Ms. Cowley. I think Patrick, Julia, Chad, trying to, I don't know, like a Silicon Valley sort of vibe. Just kind of relaxed and creativity doesn't happen at a certain time or a certain way. It's kind of breathe the culture first. The culture is right and then creativity can be thrown and so just kind of breaking down those barriers and after you have the right culture it's really just watering the garden. Exactly. Right. It's just kind of trying to do a hands off as possible and develop their ideas. They get off track and keep them together. But they really do most of the work. That's the beauty of it. It's teaching in reverse too. So us planning every minute of every day let them take the reins and sometimes they take it in a better direction than we thought possible. That's been my experience. Yeah. Yeah. The timing is good. They're doing great. Yeah. So proud of them. Yeah. Maybe questions for us. Yeah. So I want to visit. How can I help? From your last visit I got the impression that you think PBL is a nice model because you're talking about self-study is the way that you like to learn yourself. And PBL has a lot of avenues for self-study with a little bit of guidance with some purpose too. So if you could advocate for... Surface-based learning. Yeah. Like you're doing something real and authentic that helps the world. This is what it's about. You guys are so lucky to be in a school like this. Because we have some students who have bought in it and they love it. Some are still like... I don't know. It's just going to help me with my SAT. They're like, why are we doing this? Yeah. And we just want to be like... Everyone that's been through high school and college just kind of knows.  You're nervous about new ways of learning. I don't know. I think we're being through a couple. Oh, yeah. I would be like, people who have been through life know what it really takes to learn and be successful. And it's not reading textbooks and following directions from your teacher. But they just have this uncertainty about the future, right? The future is changing. But it's all about what skills you need to be successful. And then maybe they can connect it to a PBL environment. We're like, oh, this is a good place to practice these books. So maybe to share in your story about critical thinking, problem solving. Sure. How do you work with others to figure things out? I'm sure you have some really cool stories and anecdotes. Yeah. So what do you think about the format? I mean, last time, I think we used Slido. And there's some pretty good questions here. And also some real-time back and forth. And so I wonder if that still is a good format or if you would like a changing format. I'm very open. Slido is cool because it's anonymous and you can really ask what they want to ask.  That's right. And it's important just not to be like, who asked that silly question? Every question is good. That's right. So Slido is nice because it gets the quiet ones just to get right. I think that would be cool just to start things off. OK. I would love to see just a town hall, maybe not a stage in the audience, but just more like a circle. Kind of the Socratic seminar. Let's do a circle. Yeah. Kind of a circle and exchanging ideas. And maybe we can show you some of the projects that we're currently working on. We love getting feedback and critique from smart people. So maybe they can kind of present some of the things you're working on and tell us what you think. Yeah. They'd be so excited about that. Yeah. And so on the side of that, just a really formal like, I'm here to present and see you later, right? I'd like to still do something more organic. It would be nice. OK. You can help, because we do have 70 students or so in the format. I also know that you work a lot in technology and education. I think a lot of our students are really interested in that. So maybe sharing some of your kind of, kind of that insight would be interesting. OK. Yeah. I just had a talk at a Gaussian American School, both for the middle school level, but also the higher school level. And I think one of the tricks that we tried is to still use the slider that kind of announced the slider link before the top itself. So that when students want my feedback on a particular project, they can just enter the project's website address in a slider. So as to basically give the whole community maybe a week or two to just pre-vote and of course in the, that kind of cuts down this botanical a little bit because then you kind of can already see the kind of framework of the plot. On the other hand, it's co-created by students. Yeah. So I mean, I'm not looking to try that too, but it's up to you. I'd like to give a feedback at the question section right to the top. Yeah. OK. Yeah, that's cool. I also like the spontaneity of the slider. I know. I know. But it's still slide though. It's just like voting before the voting day. Oh, OK. Cool. Like what's happening at the U.S. right now. Yeah. You can't decide to vote before. They don't vote. OK, that's cool. Yeah, then the really good questions arise at the top. You can even open up a new one. Yeah. It's more deliberative. OK. Got you. Yeah, that's a good idea. Interesting. Do you guys notice the slide though? No. No.  And you just ask questions. And then people are like, if you like that question, you thumbs up and right up to the top. That's right.  I think if we do that, maybe let's try an even more extended deliberative period. Right. So the top is December. Yeah. So maybe we start like a month or four months. Like a month. Yeah. Yeah. Like a month and a month. And see what students have to do. OK. Yeah. Cool. Do we want to frame the questions a little bit? Or is it going to be like ask Audrey whatever you want? That's right. Yeah. Just call it ask Audrey. Ask Audrey. OK. Yeah. Or the triple A. Ask Audrey. OK. Cool. OK. That sounds like a good idea. One, like something that I've noticed with the student string PBL is some of the ones that aren't as motivated, I feel like just haven't really understood like the concept very well or like understood really kind of see the big picture. Sometimes it's kind of hard to see the big picture when you are like living your life. Like you don't really know what like life's really about and how you fit into like the entire world. And so sometimes they don't know how they can't imagine how what we're doing right now might be able to contribute to the bigger picture. And also some of them, even if they have some sort of concept about that, they're having trouble like fathoming that it might even make a difference. I think that being associated with that. Yeah. Exactly. And so I'm thinking like maybe something that you might be able to share might be your perspective on how something that seems like an impactful through the spreading of ideas. That's right. If it's idea was spreading and spreading to more than one person, raising the basic transmission rate above one, then it would get viral. See change. See change. Yeah. I think like having your perspective on that, it might make them feel like what they're doing right now could actually make a difference. Okay. Yeah. A lot of inks written in teenagers. Yeah. I don't know what idea of the world is going to be the end, but it's not necessarily true. Yeah. It's a small idea. Even when the world is done, I mean, there's many worlds to be honest with. So anyway. Exactly. Maybe one of them can start working on a spaceship made out of plastic. That's right. Yeah. Yeah. You mentioned transporter. Yeah. So I've already created the Slido link. It's at slido.com slash 1207. So the date basically. So 1207. And you can already see the question. So if you want to frame it or structure it some way, you can do it anonymously and just have some seed questions. My experience is that maybe as much as nine. And before you just share it to the students, but you can of course ask from a prospective faculty to it's all it's all kosher as long as of course it's relevant to students and you don't have a, you know, means the problem of that being downloaded. They were totally playing. So like slido.com slash 1207. That's right. That's right. And then once you feel ready, seeing it to just share with students. Do you have any media that you want to share with us? It's like the Audrey story. Yeah, depending on the questions. Okay. I just want to teach the kids about who you are first to. Yeah. Some kids know, but some kids don't. So is there. Yeah, but depending on the questions, I'll frame it. I'll frame it that way. Okay. Is there a book about you or something? There is. Is there a book about me? Actually that's just published today. But it's a Mandarin. It was originally in Japanese in Nihongo, but they translated it back to Mandarin, which is interesting because the author did the original German Mandarin. But anyway. You will translate it. I will. Okay. So yeah, if your students can read Mandarin, there's that book. Okay. Yeah. I think that the name is just called Osou kandaide tsuyou yu wei lai. The freedom and future that I see. Okay. It's from Qin Zitianxia. Our students have shorter attention spans.  No. Well, there's many ones in Nihongo, but I'm not sure that there's a short one. But I think it's okay because... Definitely make one. Yeah. Qin Zitianxia is a same editing came to interview with you. Oh yeah, yeah. May? May or June? Yeah. Yeah, if you search for Qin Zitianxia and my name and time form, you will see like any number of from like very short essays to long-age videos and things like that. So because they kind of already covered a kind of full angle. Okay. So based on your expected attention span, maybe you can do a kind of a ladder of attention spans when you do a 60-second series. Yeah. Okay. Cool. Yeah. I just wanted to ask some sort of context. Okay. Are you interested in receiving one of our products? If you make one? Yeah. It's the one I said that's gonna exceed $3,000. It's gonna be free. It's gonna be free. I mean, it's materialist, but yes. You know, like something for your office that might be a conversation starter and people can scan it. What do you want for your office? I don't know. What do you need? What do you need? Yeah. I hope we can serve a needier because like here's Audrey's wish list and things and I'll try to design something that people need. Okay. But I don't need anything. That's okay. Just something ornamental or something. Sure. Or functional. One of our students is making a sculpture that has a story analysis behind it. A Klein bottle would be nice. What? A Klein bottle. A Klein bottle. Yeah. There's a Klein bottle. There's a Klein bottle. That's a Klein bottle. Yeah, it's a merguez strip. Oh, so cool. What is it? It's a merguez strip in three dimensions. All right. You could 3D print that. Yeah, you could 3D print that. Yeah. That's why I'm asking. Oh, you could 3D print her. Yeah, it's harder to make without a 3D printer. Yeah, this material would print. It's not good with curves. But yeah, maybe we can make one of those and some people are off those. Yeah, maybe it can like engineer it. Like maybe it can be in multiple sections. Yeah, it's a good subject to learn about topology. And it doesn't need to be curvy. For it to be a Klein bottle, you can also resemble a mug or something. The topological property is less important. Like this is a Klein bottle too. And it allows the liquids to be held in a center. Oh. So it could also be shipped out. So cool. Yeah, that would be something exciting for them to research and learn about. Okay. Yeah. There's like two chambers, essentially. Oh. And they are well connected, but roughly. Okay. Yeah, nice. Easy to work. Okay. Cool. Yeah, because maybe we can thank you for visiting or something. Because it'll be motivated to make something for somebody. Right. And that could be a z-change. I'm sure you have important people that you know all the time. What's that? Yeah, it's a Klein bottle. Skindis. Yes, Skindis. I was wondering about this cool project. Thank you. That's great. It will tie to the foam charter, the T-serving map that I'm also promoting, which is a water refill map. So if I get this Klein bottle, I can use it instead of buying new plastic drinks. The map can show where it's near by water refill stations. Then once you refill and check in at the point, not only can you have a discussion with people who are also checking in at the point about the water quality or whatever, like Pokemon Go, but also by collecting like 50 consecutive checkpoints and basically does a heavy change thing. Then you can redeem it for like specialty drinks and stuff. What's your company? It's called Foam Charm. Yeah, so it could T-serving map. Yeah, if you have any cool like Cirque plus. Cirque plus. Yeah, C-I-R-C-U-P-L-U-S. That would be a cool if you have any like list of eco-friendly apps or these kinds of things, because they're kids on their phones all the time anyway. So it might as well have like a list of cool apps that they could be using. Yeah, Cirque plus is pretty nice. We're on Google Maps layers that will turn on a Taipei. You can see eco-friendly businesses. And we're working on that map layer right now, and this is a little bit more in-depth. Yeah, the Foam Charm is the gamification layer. Okay, if you complete a mission, you get this number of copies. What's that coming out? Yeah. I think it's already out. Oh, that's cool. It's the winner of this year's Presidential Hankathon. So, yeah, cool. Kind of obligated to promote it. Yeah, that'd be cool. Yeah. Pokemon Go meets... Yeah. Yeah, it's focused on plastic. Oh, there's seven. Oh, yeah. Right up here. Wow, awesome. That's awesome. That's awesome. This add-in. You can download. Yeah, on the opening screen, it's just how many plus-folds is to use as a set. Wow, okay. Cool. Maybe you can send me a screenshot of that. Definitely. Okay, so it's to reduce plastic bottles because you get points for rebuilding your actual model. That's right. That's right. And then how do you register a station? Yeah, you either go through the environment with an actual authority map or you can just apply it to the app itself. Like if you're a T-Shop that offers free refills and so on, then you can register it directly to the app. But if you are a place where the EPA already inspects or what the quality is and so on, the EPA has a collaboration, the data collaborative relationship with the app. Okay. So if you put a water machine in our lobby, that would be possible. Yeah, of course. And then they'll give you this very fine sticker with a character image that you can decorate your water machine. Oh, cool. And people can then work by and scan it down again. Oh, yeah. Or you can have it within the schools. Yeah, it's kind of rewarding. I have one in my office in the solution innovation app. Okay. Two, actually. Oh, wow. I need to get one of those water stations and look it up to this app. Yeah, yeah. It's funny right now because one kid at the student-led conference said he's actually drinking water out of plastic bottles on purpose so he can shred it. So he's in the shredding process. I know. I can't miss the mark, but at least you recycle it. I know. Because he has like a plastic goal to make his project. He's a face. Yeah. He's a face. He's a reusable one, but he's least thinking about direction. Sure. Okay. Yeah, these are cool connections. Are there any cool projects you're working on these days? Yeah. Yeah, the presentation. I think that's one. It's pretty cool. In addition to the circuit plus, also check out the other winners. There's five winners each year. They get a trophy from the president. The trophy carries no award money, but it's a projector that will turn on, shows the president's image promising the team. Whatever they did in the past three months will become national policy in the next one. So it's presidential power as taken from the war. It's like a hologram. Yeah. So it's really two dimensional project. Oh, okay. Yeah. You take it to the office and go see. That's right. That's right. It's pretty cool. Yeah, it would be nice to try that next thing. But anyway. Yeah. Yeah, so I think one of the main ideas we want to get across is that the public service is actually very innovative and very much into innovation. But they're, of course, much more innovative if they don't have to absorb the risk if the ideas don't turn out to be working. So the collaboration is between the social sector, such as the social enterprise that came up with this circuit plus to be serving up, but also the environmental protection agency which supplies all this data. So it's like reverse procurement. So we are the vendor of the social sector. And there's many cases in the presidential. There's one called patchplot by the plan. Seeing that you might also be interested is working, I think, with Taoyuan City intensely now to basically take a look at all the unused spaces that's found by the city or metropolitan governments and just ask people nearby to use their phone and augment your reality to imagine how would they like to plant trees on those unused spaces and then motivate people to actually go and take care of the trees that they helped planning. And it's a pretty nice work. And also there's also another one that sends the real-time alerts through like the tea serving app and many other apps as well when there's like almost 40 degrees heat. People forget to drink their water and so on. And so it's a way to easily alert not only individuals but also let individuals take care of their families and friends and so on to react to heat damage as early as possible. There's also one about using smart meters without measuring individual devices like the refrigerator or the air conditioner just based on the smart meters outside of your home it can, through a machine learning, tell you whether it's the fridge or whether it's the air conditioner or the water machine that's consuming way more electricity than the others. Exactly. Exactly. And then you can just change your usage patterns or if it's like really buggy and leaky you can change to it like newer devices and so on. So that's also a pretty good idea. There's finally the fifth winner is towing zuqi, which is in the supermarkets when you scan the barcode of say a case of cookies it usually leads to the price, right? But if you scan this through their app it shows the price that the environment has to pay to produce that. Oh my gosh, great. So it's called towing zuqi, like the trance. Yeah, I think they just go by their daigi spelling so T-H-A-U-P-I-N-G. Right. B-I-N-G. Right. And so I think it's a really good idea because not only does it like visualize the environmental impact negative ones and it also has the potential to show the positive ones as well. And so it connects the customers back to the producers and it also gives the producers much more incentive to work in a pro-environment manner. I mean, this beef came from 9,000 miles away or something like that by the one that's here. Right, that's right. This asparagus, which looks vegan and his vegan is actually a lot of permanent emissions. You've got it on an airplane. You're floating across the sea. Okay, that's pretty cool. I think they're focusing on pollutions at the very beginning now, but it has the potential to scale to all sorts of environmental change. Back to the patch by planting. Yeah. So they are, they are going to reality trees so they can see it and it looks beautiful, right? Does anything ever happen? Yeah. Do they actually start planting trees after that? Yes, yes. Because they work with, say, the Taoyuan municipal government who already have a commitment to plant X number of trees. The point is just to find out where are the communities supported strongest so that people can collectively take care of the trees. Oh, okay. One of our, one of our seed change products is our eco-bricks. So we can't recycle. Those make really good planters when you kind of put the base. Yeah. That would be cool. Can I just type in something? Yeah. Yeah, I think so. If you go to a patch by planting, it's a large community. Okay. And they can, you know, just look at a presidential office and just through AR, calculate what it would be like to plant trees. Yeah. Yes. It would be cool to support them with some eco-bricks or something. Yeah, it would be nice. So all five actually have some alignment, I would say, to your vision. Yeah. Yeah, because we need, I mean, the more chances to get the 30% plastic down, the better. That's right. So being more, you know, happy to do it. I hope this project of all, it's over more than a year, right? If you can keep the recycling going, it can be repurposed and re-themed with a different collection. You're also welcome to enter and next in this presentation. So I have to know how to code? No. If you have a good design, we can do matchmaking and find you the code. Okay. So you can just put proposals then and somebody can find that. Yeah. We'll start with what's called a wishing well or issuance. And then people just, the only thing we require is you to align sustainability models to it. Okay. Which is no problem. I have no time. Okay. That's pretty cool. I have a question. It might be like a little bit off topic. Sure. But I'm wondering in your opinion, in like what, what in like the social and environmental sector in Taiwan could use the most improvement? I mean like... So like maybe... Infinite power. Oh, energy. Yeah. Fusion reactor. Yeah, fusion reactor. Or nuclear waste reactor. Yeah. That's one of the main things that we're focused on nowadays. It goes from like the most simple thing about storing electricity so that on the peak hours we don't have to make them difficult trade-offs all the way to advanced research. Interesting. I didn't have thought about energy being like a priority. Come on. Check. Check. Just sketching. What are you drawing over there? Drawing a laundry. Drawing my cartoon. That's what you're doing. It's your GPS accelerator. Here it is. It's in landscape. Last time you drew me, you made my neck really big. I was like, come on, check. My neck isn't really that big. It's pretty big. Make me self-conscious. Call it how it is. Wait till you're 40. Nothing you can't fix in close connection. Photoshop is amazing. That's awesome. I really like these hackathon idea. That's really cool. Yeah, the hackathon. The hashback plan is pretty cool. Yeah. I think the students get the most out of it when they really feel like they're doing something that's part of the community, not just for school. When they do a project, because the teacher tells them to do a project, they'll just do it when they're really involved with it, and they realize that it can actually make a change in the world, regardless of if the teacher helps or not. That's when they're really involved. So that kind of thing, when it's like, oh, this is like a project, this is like a hackathon, this is for Taiwan. This is not the school thing. This is for that kind of thing really. That kind of thing really. Truly shared come on purpose. Right, exactly. And while the precinctial hackathon is more like the national level, where we care about energy and smart meters and so on, and more immediate like connecting community maybe via the municipal level. So for example, that book just, you know, you call it, you know, all ideas. Yeah, it's, you can flip through it, or even just take it. I mean, I've got the electronic version. Right, so it's the voluntary local reports of the, I think the copy you have now is the new type of city. And about all the social and environmental contribution that according to the SDG index, that people in the new type of city are making. So it's like a catalog of similar-minded groups and people as endorsed by the new type of city government. So it's like our essential hackathon reports, but much more day-to-day and also limited in kind of scale because it's one municipality. There's very similar reports from the Taoyuan city and the Taipei city. I think they could all be found out on the wall. There's a nice Lego block. Cool. It improves with the blocks that are out there. So these are our functions? I think it's explained somewhere. But maybe just to remind people of the SDG strength, these are the SDG-shaped blocks. Yeah, I'm trying to do this, so you can have your project. The CGN project, it's a lot of them. Yeah, I'm pretty proud of it. Okay. I just want to ask a bunch of nerdy sci-fi questions. Yes. They're entertaining. I don't know. Star Wars or Star Trek? Both. Yeah. Children make choices. You know what I'm talking about. Good answer. If you only watched one, the rest of your life, you know how did you use it? Left eye. Left eye. Neuroscopic. At the same time. Okay. Like Lucy, you know. Two laptops. You used it as the first question, and it diverges in the video. I know. Realms and stuff. Yeah. Okay. Cool. Awesome. So that's pretty much it. Thanks. Do you have anything else to ask us? No. I'll see you on Slido. Yeah, I'll see you on Slido. Yeah, I'll just check in the Slido from time to time. Oh, great. See what structure. I don't know. See what's kind of happening there. Okay. Cool. Yeah, we'll be working on that. We'll see December 7th. We'll do a little research on Klein bottles and see what we can do with them. Yeah. It's like a classic. I mean, if it counts, no worries. Well, we'll try something. You know, like I think it's cool to be like, you know, Audrey wants this thing, maybe happen. See what would come up. There's materials you have to work with, but Audrey wants and... See what happens. Yeah, if they can't make a plan, they can make a movie assistant. That's very easy to make. A what? A two-dimensional version of the Klein bottle. Oh, a movie assistant. Okay, cool. Awesome. Thank you so much for your time. Thank you. Yeah. Thank you. Yes, ma'am. Yeah, thank you. You did so well. I have to sit here for another few minutes. I have to do something. You can't rush the process. My little sketch. Can't rush it. I really like it. I have to dip my toe together. Yeah, go. Of course. Move a little bit. All right. Thank you. I'll be with you. All right. Here it is. Is this like a family portrait side? My neck is so big. I don't know if yours is any more.


Research and Creative Inquiry are central to a liberal arts education at Gustavus. Question Research begins with a question or a challenge. Across campus, students collaborate with faculty in a learning community to better understand our world and to act on the great challenges of our time. Opportunities abound for students and faculty to ask and investigate important questions. Throughout the year, students work in laboratories, fields, theaters, studios, classrooms, and in the community where they test ideas and uncover new ways of seeing. Create Research leads to discovery as well as to creativity. Through research, Gusty's solve problems build different systems, picture new ways of being, inspire movement, engage in conversation, reimagine the past and prepare for the future. These acts of creation are moments of discovery about where we've been, who we are, and what the future holds. Connect Through research, students connect theory to practice and curiosity with exploration. They connect their understanding of the sciences with their learning in the arts. They connect their findings with the broader community through performances, presentations, and publications. They connect their Gustavus education with their future careers.

Welcome to another Financial Friday. I'm in my new house. Um, sorry it's super echoey, but I am here at the house today to do some work and I have been getting all hot and sweaty and I am wearing my normal work clothes and I figured before I got too hot and sweaty I wanted to share my Financial Friday with you guys. I feel like I've addressed this in every single Financial Friday since I purchased the house. Yes, I will go into all of that. I just literally have not had time to go into the detail that I want to go into when I'm talking about my mortgage. That is something that I don't take lightly and I want to make sure that it's a really good quality video for you guys rather than just like zipping through it because honestly a lot of my videos recently have been me zipping through things because I'm just so busy. I'm in the middle of doing balloon. I'm coming here every day and doing stuff. I'm working like crazy at my other job so it's just been a little intense but it's gonna get better and I figured I would show you some stuff. I recently discovered this place. It's like a dollar store. It's called Five Below. I don't know if you have any in your area. I didn't even know that this existed and I was driving by one day and I was like what is that place? So I looked it up online and it's a dollar store where everything is $5 and below. The local one that I went to doesn't have a ton of like kitchen-y kind of stuff but they do have a lot of like home furnishings and so I hit up that section. All the stuff is down below here. I figured why take it all the way back to my parents house, film a video and then just bring it back. I might as well just film the video here and this is the first inaugural video in the new place. I mean besides the vlog. Alright so I got a lot of different storage items there and I absolutely love the dollar store for storage items. I know in one of the vlogs I had shown like these containers from Container Store. I think it was like the vlog from Saturday. Those are really expensive you guys. I know I spent a lot of money on those a long time ago and that was before I got in the date Ramsey plan so don't worry about that. But moving forward I would rather not spend that kind of money in just you know organizers or bins or something like that that's just gonna like sit in the laundry room or sit in my closet and they're not I mean I want them to be beautiful and functional but yet I don't want to pay an arm and a leg for it. I don't want to pay $20 for a bin you know what I'm saying? So definitely check your dollar stores or like five below I'm showing you now. So let's start with a big bag. Alright here is a big bag five below. I've got a couple big bags. There are a few different bins that I got. Oh let's see here and I don't know where I'm gonna use these yet because I just don't know but I figured that some of these would be nice in the laundry room because I've got like the wire racking. Alright so here is the first bin.  Actually you know it's not burlap it's linen it's not like rough like burlap. This one was five dollars and this is a 10 by five and three quarters. So I really liked this and it kind of goes along with the kind of cottagey vibe I'm going for. It's like cottagey farmhouse industrial that's kind of my vibe everything kind of black white neutral grays tans topes you know neutral stuff. I am a person just by the way sidebar I'm a person that gets really sick of things really fast so if I pick really classic things I know I won't get sick of it so if I'm say like really into purple for some reason which I don't know if I've ever been into purple but if I have been I know I get sick of it really fast so I'm trying to pick like really really classic things like you know my paint for my wall and all of that stuff too like I'm trying to pick a really classic things that I know me personally I won't get sick of because I don't want to change it out often you know I feel like you can do a lot with like a blanket and a pillow to like jazz up an area you know like either your bedroom or the living room or whatever or even just put like a nice tablecloth on your dining table to like make it a little bit different but just have like good bones you know what I mean so that's kind of my vibe but yeah pretty much anything black white neutral is like something I'm just like gravitate towards it so I love this spin and I thought this would be nice either in the pantry or in the laundry room but I'm not sure when I put it yet and then I got two of these these are like oh let's see here let's see if I can show these properly these are like those like chicken wire ones but they are black or you know they're almost like a dark no they're black I thought maybe they're like kind of a dark brown let me pull them out see one of them properly all right so this is what the bin looks like nice little linen on the inside and this is a really neutral color it's not bright white it's like more of a like creamy like oatmeal color and then this one is a storage bin 11 by 11 by eight and a half and this one was also five dollars I think what I would want to do especially if I put this on something that has like a hard surface not just like the wire grading that's like I'm up in the loft right now so like the laundry room is literally like right there that just has like wire shelving so I wouldn't really worry about that but if I did end up putting these in the pantry like for snacks or like bags of like chips or crackers or like something that's you know you need to credit Corral I would probably put like little bumpers or something on here because I just feel like this like what the wires wrapped around it would get kind of like scratchy like scratch the surface eventually but I got two of those and then I got some of these these are just some white hooks I thought that these would be kind of nice on the inside or maybe even the outside of the laundry room there's bifold doors right now but I hang dry a lot of my clothing um I'm wearing a lula row or lula it's a lula I'm wearing a lula row top and bottom right now and I don't dry these um they tend to like pill up and stuff so I have a lot of lula row stuff as well as other things that I don't put in the dryer so every time I do laundry I'm always looking for extra hooks so I thought that these would be a great idea plus these were three bucks so they're a dollar each and they're white so eventually I will end up either painting my doors or replacing them with white anyways so they're going to kind of blend in plus I probably won't even put these out until it's actually like laundry time and then I can just kind of hook them you know and then I did get some bins that were really similar to the bins that I have from Target um and they might actually be from like the exact same manufacturer I mean I don't know but um I have like a little bin right here and then this one is eight by six by two this was two dollars super super cute great for those like miscellaneous things like keys and coins and cash and like you know those little things when you kind of like come in for the day that this was nice and then this is a little bit of a bigger one that has a little bit of a pull so you can kind of pull it out this one was three dollars and it's a 10 by 8 by 4 and yeah I don't I just think this is nice it's got like this nice little kind of like chevron pattern to it it's kind of hard because I have like a white background now so it's kind of hard to tell but I do really like that and I've got just a couple more items left I got this I just could not pass this up I thought this was awesome um this was I think this this doesn't have a price on it I want to say that this was two dollars it was like a special item but um this is just a little wood bin 3.7 by 8 by 4.75 inches um yeah it's just really basic but it has like a little bit of like a white wash on the bottom you know look at this it kind of it kind of looks like my wall and that's funny um but yeah I thought this would be nice for the pantry and then um if I do put it in the pantry I'll probably put like the little stoppers on the on the like bottoms of them just so it doesn't scratch it up I'm not too worried about this it's pretty smooth but you know just for the ease of like pulling things out and I love something with a handle for the pantry because then you can like gain access a little bit easier and then like corral all the things so if you've got like if you're really like saying to granola bars you can just dump all your granola bars in here and then just pull them out when you want to grab a granola bar you know and then the last item I got I'm very very excited about I actually found this in the makeup section but I'm actually going to use this for all of my medicines uh when I mean medicines I mean like cold medicines and things like that you know you go when you you have a cold and you buy all of this like cold medicine or whatever you know for your ailments and then you don't end up using the whole pack so I got a little thing like this um and then I'm going to label these at some point as to what is inside each one but I thought this would be really nice um it's a little bit longer than it is wide so I I'm pretty sure this is going to fit in my bathroom where I want to put it so this is a three drawer mini organizer seven and a half by six by six and a half so and this was four dollars I know I've seen these at Target go for like seven eight nine dollars um but I've never seen them in all white either so you know like I said I love home decor and home design but I love things that look pretty and I'm not really that into super colorful things so if I can find something neutral that works for me I know I'm going to keep it for a really long time so I just love finding great finds like this especially at a dollar store so that is it for the financial Friday today I hope you guys enjoy the little haul I have purchased some things for the home already from like Dollar Tree and I think Family Dollar as well but they're kind of like strewn about the house I don't really I mean I know where they are but I'm like already using some of them so I haven't fully utilized them but I think what I'm going to do is I will probably show some of that organization once I start actually organizing so that'll be in like separate videos coming up on my channel very soon once I move in and if you have any wonderful dollar store finds please tell me down below what your favorite dollar store finds that you found in your local area I would love to know I know some people have found some really cool brand name things for really cheap prices at the dollar store so I'm very excited to hear what you guys have to say but I love finding home organization things and also like little home decor things you never know what you're going to find at the dollar store it's kind of a cool little treasure hunt so anyway I'm going to jet I hope all my budgeters out there liked this little haul if you have any questions feel free to post them below and I will get back to as many of you as I can I'm going to get back to sanding my baseboards which is what I stopped doing because of this so anyway I'm going to jet but I will talk to you all in my next video bye guys


Can an eave be within 450 millimeters of a boundary if it doesn't face that boundary? In other words what I've shown here in red This comes up a lot on the front of the house next to a wall that's built up to a boundary usually in front of the garage But here's another example That back that brick wall is the boundary You can see the fence continuing either side and this building here has eaves front and back now note carefully The eaves are non-combustible. It's a metal roof with metal fascia and five cement eave sheeting The question is can this eave shown in red be within 450 millimeters of a boundary if it doesn't face that boundary? That's on the basis that this is a class 1a building or a class 10a which is within 900 millimeters of the 1a Is this scenario allowed? Well, if you think no that bit of eave isn't allowed It's likely you're thinking of this provision in volume 2 3 7 2 7 allowable encroachments sub clause D Where your eaves aren't allowed to be closer than 450 millimeters from the boundary even if they have non-combustible cladding and mining Note, of course that under 3 7 1 1 five cement sheeting can be used wherever non-combustible material is required Now that's true But when reading a sub clause it's very important to read it in the context of the entire provision Sub clause D here is about encroachments. Now. What's an encroachment? Well an encroachment is any construction between the wall of a building that needs to be protected and the boundary Which makes that protection necessary and for the eaves in question They aren't they aren't fixed on the wall that's facing the boundary so they aren't encroachments for that wall They're encroachments for the front and back walls of that building But the boundaries in question are well over 450 millimeters away and the front one is a road, which doesn't count So the answer is yes This eave can be within 450 millimeters of the boundary because it's not facing that boundary But there is an allowable encroachments non-compliance shown in this photograph Besides the fact that that gutter and probably the fascia are hanging over the boundary Can you see it? Yes, it's the combustible PVC downpipe 3727 D1 requires that combustible downpipes That requires combustible downpipes that are encroachments to be at least 450 millimeters back from the boundary


Hello, my name is Richard Trituck working for Sunet like Mickey Nadine who presented earlier and I am going to take you on a Little journey about continuous testing at a global scale But first about Sunet. It's the Swedish University computer network. They provide a lot of network infrastructure and cloud-based services for Sweden. They have 8,400 kilometers of fiber so they like to dig their trenches and Put in fiber cables. They serve about 750,000 users among 110 organizations But sometimes you get The opportunity to build something so we build a system for scientists and so you need to model your system It's a bit of background information on why we do what we do so you have your system models where you have all the parameters of the scientific life cycle and and Build your system where you saw your data Have your life cycle management and you actually also have to face the reality of every scientific project because the money at a certain point So you build your system in a way that the universities can life cycle handle their research data Even after the project funding has run out So with this model in mind you start building and so you start building not small You start building big you build at a global scale As Mika already said earlier, we have 54 next-cloud nodes one for every Swedish University pre-built They can just log on provision their user account and use the system and We use S3 buckets as the storage Entity for handling the research data So that gives you a bit of a context of the size of The system that we have but then the scientific reality again is you need to collect data You define your primary data sources save everything into the storage as I said We use S3 and then you have the secure storage with Windows Linux Mac iOS Apple command-length lines Anything that you need Once you have that system you start expanding so your system becomes bigger and bigger You don't want to only store your files. You want to analyze your data and you want to publish your data So you integrate all the apps Once you have that expansion you start asking yourself does it actually work all the time and this is where the testing comes into Into place you start writing your tests if you're small unit test acceptance test just to see if things actually work Once you have written your tests you start testing system systematically because that's the purpose of testing, right? So you have manual testing automated testing and on the mod testing Automated testing and you hope that your automated testing will be will cover anything So you start with the acceptance testing you have capabilities stats and versions user that's life cycle handling file handling Right test for all of those you do selenium testing for no login including two-factor authentication And so on collaboration testing takes a lot of time But we do it all the time to make sure that the collaboration works and we occasionally do some load testing and Have tested with up to 6,000 users Once you do that you test automatically so you start building your Jenkins You have your worker nodes and everything will be executed all the time so you Once you have done that you start using pipelines because you realize oh this is actually a lot I don't want to click on start test if you do on-demand testing So you have your pipeline where you trigger all your tests for all nodes all the time And you get this nice matrix view about the status of your system and in the end you test a lot So we have 45 tests we create around 23,000 test points test results every single day It's about 1,000 test points per customers per day but the goal is to extend this to have even more tests in the end and You keep the developers busy. This is from our next cloud support queue so we've write a lot of tickets we find issues we solve issues and Yeah, people are smiling at me because they might realize some of the tickets we have created and In the end you help making next clouds a better product by having this type of test automation Thank you


But what do you want me to tell your people and go start and discuss the names of God? I was like, God, do you have names? Like, does God have names? Does God have names? Because I know he gave his son the name that is above every other name that is Jesus Christ. But God, do you have a name? Even Moses was wondering, God, do you have a name? You're sending me to the Israelites, but do you have a name? What do I go and say that, who sent me? Who sent me?  And he was like, I am who I am, yes, I am who I am.  That's what it means. So if you're needing school fees, you're needing rent, you need fare back to the city and God's provide to you, I am Jerry. That's what he meant, but I am what I am, whatever you experience, whatever dimension of me that you encounter, I am that to you. Call me that, you know what? Don't even overthink, just call me that. If the children of Israel were in slavery, they were going through a lot, they were in trouble, they were lamenting, they were crying, then God gave them peace. I am Shalom. So that is the name you're going to call me. I am Shalom, I am Jehovah Jerry, I am Jehovah Rafa, I am Jehovah Rafa, even Haga, call God Elroy. I am Elroy. So whatever dimension you meet God, that is the name you call him. I am Jerry. Me have met Ebenezah and today we're going to talk about Ebenezah.  So by the time you meet Samuel chapter seven, you understand kwanini alita God Ebenezah. And you can see the children of Israelite, the Israelite, right now they are being called the Israelite. I will enter in the season, you will have kings. It is the prophets that were judging the Israelite. So Israelites wakupale, they went to war. This is during the time of Prophet Eli. They went to war with the Philistin, all right? So they were being defeated. Wali tandikwa kwa iwiita, wana tandikwa, wana lose. So the Israelites will say, let us go and take the Ark of the Covenant to later Hapa, pengine iwiita tutashinda. So the two sons of Eli, they brought the Ark of God, the Ark of God into that camp of war. My God, they thought they will win. Wali tandikwa proper. They died. Wali pigwa kupigwa. Wali tandikwa kwa kileta Ark of God apu watashinda. Wali tandikwa properly. And not only that, they died.  And not only that, that Ark of God was taken away by the Philistins. So they Wali tandikwa kileta yo Ark watashinda. No, wapi. Yo Ark ateli kwa captured. The Philistin went with it. And unajoi kwen kumusha. As Christian, we do some spiritual activities thinking that we're gonna be blessed. Like these two sons of Eli, all right? Wali kwa adulteras. Wali kwa watu avituko. They were not even following the example of their father. Wali kwa watu vituko. So Wali, then since, since, since in watu towa priestesses, watu towa Prophet, tuneza leta ii Ark of the covenant in this place to Shidevita. Wali tandikwa, they were even killed. And also, you can see, when Eli had that, that the sons were died, the sons had died, and not only that, the Ark had been taken. Umse ali kwa evi yuma naka die. Just imagine one day all this, as if that was not enough. One of the sons of Eli, ane jita fin, fin niyas or something. Bibi ake lia liski atu ho, the Ark has been taken. My husband is dead. My father-in-law is dead. People are losing this battle. He went into labor. Aka labor tu hapo na hapo. Naka za. Imideliku za. Aka nemu toto ikabod. Meaning the glory has departed Israel. And she died. So imagine the number of people that died just because the Ark had been taken. Now, first forward, the Philistines have this Ark. All right? The Philistines have this Ark in their place. They stayed with this Ark of God for seven months. All right? They thought that capturing this Ark to machinda the Israelites. Ua ni tanda iku anamungu. Ma tumas ma ugunjuwa, si dinja ni ni ni. They said ah, no. Ii Ark ni na fatumi na ngeshe. So they returned the Ark of God in a place called, it's a very, in ne ngumu kui pronounced, ina jeeta kii jatja ri. So, they returned this ark because, ah, iya twizi kana, isi ma gle tunatani kwa apa God dali wa mioro shaka wapia character development, wakaregesha iyo ark So, when it reached this place, Krijath, Jerry, it stayed there for 20 years with the Israelites and the people in that place who were blessed So, kumuke na kanga jenu salim, sasa iya apa iko in a different location And this location, people were blessed, people prospered, people became big, you know what They were really blessed in this place and the rest of the Israelites, they started lamenting They started saying, ah, God has forgotten us, nini, oh, tunini, we are not being blessed like these people And now enters, now somewhere and says, you guys, you need to repent You need to break down all those idols, most of you are idolatras You are worshiping other gods, you need to stop serving these other gods and serve our God, Lord, Almighty Break down these idols, bring down these idols and serve only one God The God, Lord, Almighty, the credit of the heavens and the earth are repented So they repented genuinely, they cried out to God Because like I mentioned, true repentance attracts the masses of God And the masses of God came upon them And Samuel told them, you know what, let us all gather this place now called Mizpa Mizpa, let us gather in this place and I'm gonna pray out I'm gonna pray for you, I'm gonna cry out to God on your behalf And he did exactly that The people gathered in Mizpa, they were fasting and praying For one day they were fasting and praying And this place, they all gathered Imagine Israelites in one place gathered praying to God Now the Philistines, remember this is 20 years ago 20 years later, after that battle 20 years later, after that battle The Israelites are in this place praying and repenting to God The Philistines had, after that they gathered their chariotes Their whoo, their kings, to be their what Let us go beat these Israelites And when the Israelites had that the Philistines are coming in big number to beat them They cried out to the Lord bitterly They cried out, say, my God no, this is not happening We are here repenting and returning to you and serving you And these Philistines are gathering against us And they cried out to Samuel And Samuel Barakaraka, he's the prophet right there At that moment, there's no king He's just the prophet This time he was a king He was a king So he gathered and took a circling lamb Sacrificated it as a burnt offering And cried out to God As I finalize And he cried out to God When that cry reached out to God Let me tell you God turned that He thundered Our God thundered God can thunder in a situation I'm trying to tell you that there is a situation You can cry out to God And God will answer with that Thundering thunder to your enemies And he's going to confuse their gathering He's going to confuse their coming together against you Uko tupale, you're chilling, you're minding your own business Fasting, praying, serving God busy And the enemies gather And the best thing is to attack And to destroy whatever you're doing May you cry out to God Don't fight them See the enemy behind that person Don't fight them Cry out, release that cry to God And let him thunder in the camps of the enemy So the Lord thundered And the Philistine were confused They started running The Israelites followed them Biyo And they defeated them These are cry you release And God thunders for you When the Israel pursued the Philistine Remember at all kwa mi First they were weak They were fasting They were praying They pursued So kwa tu nanguwe kupigana So God fought on their behalf By thundering and confusing the enemy They pursued these enemies Defeated them They pursued until to a place E place in Ajita, Shain From Mizpa Remember kwa mi gada Mizpa Wali fukuza the Philistine Paka point in Ajita Between Mizpa and Shain And in that point At that place That when Samuel said Ebeneza And if I can just read it Where is that verse All right I've lost it All right Okay, let me just read It says then Samuel took a stone And set it up Between Mizpa and Shain He named it Ebeneza Ebeneza saying That's why the Lord has helped us Because they acknowledge That there's no other Actually they did not have the The equipment to fight Or what Amari to fight Because God fought on the behalf They cried out And God fought for them There's a cry that you release And God thunders And you say this far The Lord has helped me Because I look up to the hills Where does my help come from My help comes from the Lord The maker of heaven And the earth May the Lord thunder this year Scatter confuse your enemy In Jesus mighty name Amen


Hey there friends. Thanks for checking in. You may have noticed the title of this video the outdated Glock Put the pitchforks away. I own several Glocks I've always been a fan and throughout the years I've owned so many Glocks I guarantee I have owned more Glocks than most of the people watching this video But every time I feature a new handgun someone says that's a Glock copy and it got me thinking Are all these new handguns and some older handguns are they Glock copies? Is it because they have a polymer frame? Here's my Glock 19. I love this gun I speak very highly of this gun, but Glock wasn't the first to come out with the polymer frame HK VP 70 was back in 1970. So who copied who? I'm watching these other manufacturers come out with all these features that People want in a handgun Glock was late to the party even with backstraps or night sights in the case Glock was late. We look at forward serrations undercut in the trigger guard, you know optic ready handguns these other manufacturers are coming out with These features on handguns for a much lower price than Glock Most people buy a Glock with the expectation that they are going to upgrade the Glock and pay two three four hundred dollars To get it to the way they want it and I think that's cool I'm all for customization But how can we say everything's a Glock copy? It seems to me that Glock is actually copying other manufacturers to stay up to date with what shooters want Let's head over to the table and we'll take a look and talk a little bit more about my points here Here's my Glock 19. It's a gen 4. It has had some modifications done First it has night sights there the finger grooves, which I could not stand were shaved off The trigger guard was undercut all this was aftermarket. It does come with 15 round mags. We know that and we love Glock mags I don't think anybody could argue with that However, this gun that used to sell for right around Five and a quarter five 15 now sells on average right around $600 when people get this gun they put a lot of money into it in most cases They do and Glock has the aftermarket support like none other But once you start putting money into it, you realize, you know, hey This is adding up to a lot of dough. So let's take a look at some of these other handguns Let's start here with the lone wolf LTD 19 Lone wolf made or they still make aftermarket parts for Glock They've done it for years, especially those conversion barrels. They do a great job with conversion barrels I've owned several throughout the years and frames and so many other parts. They Decided to make their own handgun. They said I we think we can do it better I'm just that's me speaking not lone wolf But I think they did in many ways they made the grip a little more vertical people complain about the grip angle on Glock And they made it a little more vertical. I noticed that the range right away They kept many of the same features that people love about Glock But I will say ergonomically this feels much better. I am very much confused why Glock hasn't slimmed down That grip because a lot of people will say it's very blocky Well, the three that I have here don't feel blocky at all and low wolf who Does great work with frames parts grips you name it They were able to make this LTD 19 a little more featured, you know, it cost around 700 bucks It's only a hundred dollars more, but they did use Glock sights Okay, the field gold post front dot, but they had slide cutouts forward serrations a huge undercut in the trigger guard stuck with the Glock trigger a two-slot pick rail instead of a one slot and a steel guide rod and At the range this thing fires great. I think it looks cool, and I really like the way it feels in the hand I have to believe a company that knows Glock as well as one wolf does Would create a phenomenal handgun, and I think they did with the LTD 19 Here's an 80% arms GST 9. I love what 80% arms did with this now This also takes Glock bags. So does the LTD 19 by the way I mentioned that that's a great add-on to any handgun Glock mags, but they also put cutouts in the slide They made it optic ready Use Glock sights, you know, I'd like to see some Three dots a full pick rail there undercut in the trigger guard once again gas pedal Thumb rest right there. It is on both sides and Out of the case this offers so much more than your standard Glock 19 It has a great feel to it not as blocky once again four-inch barrel and Let's see. I can't remember and they went with the polymer guide rods But I do think this is a phenomenal handgun and what they also did was they made an additional Backstrap that would drop down to right here so you can use the Glock 17 mags without having to purchase a full new gun like the 19x Optic ready. So, you know, it offers what what shooters want they once again, they stuck with the Glock trigger and Most people don't have a problem with that. If you don't like that. Yeah after market you can do it all day long This one is really interesting. This is the Paul Metal State Armory dagger. This is most similar looking Feeling weight-wise as the original Glock 19 doesn't have the reliability of the Glock 19 Not exactly sure at this moment But the MSRP is 299 and once again uses Glock mags Which is always a bonus in my opinion the one slot rail forward serrations three dot sights they are all metal and a Steel guide rod a lot of people switch out the guide rods They don't like the Palmer guide rods the grip texturing pretty fine little finger groove there And a hinged trigger But when I took this to the range I shot it very well love the Glock mags that they use but this is Half the price of the Glock 19. All right, 299 599 we'll just keep it simple like that and for half the price if this thing Proves to be reliable, which I think it will all Expectations are that it will some of the viewers of this channel said it's certainly reliable Then this is a much better deal. Does it offer more? Yeah, a little bit It has steel three dot sights forward serrations undercut in the trigger guard same magazine and I think a nicer grip texture all three of these guns Offer in my opinion more than the Glock 19 for not a lot more dough You know the to get this to where you want it You're spending a ton of money and some of these other manufacturers are pumping it out right out of the case So are these Glock copies? Yeah, yeah, they are Glock copies. They certainly copy the magazine the the barrel length and many interchangeable parts, but did they make it better? That's the question. Did they make the original Glock 19 a More attractive handgun with the features that shooters want and I say in most cases That answer is Absolutely. Yes.

I'm Reverend Paul Gordon Carter and I'm the resident manager here at the Harriet Tubman home in Auburn, New York. Harriet Tubman was a woman who was willing to put her life on the line to go back to help her family become free. She ended up in the Auburn area where she lived for approximately 55 years of her life. She was able to acquire 32 acres of land on which she had her residence, which the original one burned down in 1880. And then she had the brick house built on the same foundation where the wood framed house was destroyed. It was built by a second husband, nephews and brothers who were brickmasons in the area and they built the brick house. And then there's the barn behind the house, but she also established a home for the aged on some property that she purchased in 1896. Her original home was purchased by her with the help of William Seward in 1859. But her home for the aged and the infirmary that she named after John Brown were established on the property that she purchased in 1896 through a land auction. And now the property is owned by the African Methodist Episcopal Zion Church and has been so since 1903 and they've conducted tours here since 1953. She was a woman who had tenacity and courage and had the mindset that she understood that freedom was something that everybody should have and that it was against the dictates of God for someone to capture someone and then hold them hostage and not allow them to have their freedom. So she was a woman who was willing to put her life on the line, go back through slavery and free all of those who could because freedom was important to her as well as family and faith and things of that sort. Many people don't realize that Harry Tubman was not a very big woman. She was only four feet, 11 inches tall. Many know that she was illiterate, could not read or write, but though she was not able to read and write, I always like to remind people that just because she was what we consider illiterate does not mean that she was ignorant. She was able to learn things from her parents and other people that she came across to such a point that she was able to parlay it into a 32-acre estate with her own home, a home for the age, the hospital, a pig farm, vegetable garden and a small apple orchard that she used to generate income for the rest of her life. Also people are not aware of the fact that Harry Tubman was the only woman that we are aware of who was able to lead, of any color I should say, who was able to lead soldiers into battle during the Civil War. She went on several raids and it has been said that on the raids she led, none of the men who served with her were killed during the times that they served with her. So just that fact in itself is a very important fact as it relates to her life and some of the things she did with it. Well Harry Tubman is buried here in the city of Auburn in upstate New York. She is buried at the Fort Hill Cemetery which is located off of Fort Street here in the city of Auburn and she has been there since her death in 1913 and her grave marker that is there now is not the original marker but that was one that was placed there by the Empire State Federation of Women back in the 30s. She is well known and well noted in the community. Most people that come want to go to her grave and they go there and many people leave items that are important to them. Some people just stand there and cry but she is located here in the city of Auburn at Fort Hill Cemetery which is approximately two miles three minutes from her home. Well if you know anything about Harriet you know that she was an extraordinary woman and for those of you who want to know something about Harriet I truly believe that Harriet was a woman who believed it was better to live for a cause rather than living just be cause and so when you get that mindset as it relates to her you will understand that sometimes you have to have a cause that's greater than yourself if you expect to make a difference in the world.


Bismillahirrahmanirrahim, I start in the name of Allah the All-Merciful, the Ever-Merciful and they have a lasting curse on the Satan and his followers. Allah's blessings on peace be upon Muhammad the Prophet and upon his pure family. Our respected viewers allow me to start this episode with one of the sayings of the master of martyrs who says, I never revolted in vain as a rebel or as a tyrant, but I rose to seek reformation for the nation of my grandfather, Muhammad the Prophet and I intend to enjoy good and to forbid evil and to act according to the traditions of my grandfather and my father Ali ibn Abi Talib. Our respected viewers welcome to his Imam Hussein, a series of episodes in which we talk about the different stages of Imam Hussein's life starting from his miraculous birthday, talking about some of the events and stories happened to him during his holy life and then mentioning some of the prophetic traditions and quotes said in his right and then ending up with his unmatchable and parallel martyrdom. My name is Hassan Hadi and I'm honored to be hosting this program. Our respected viewers, in their previous episode we spoke about Muawiyah's campaigns of persecution and murder against the loyalist of the Prophet's household and we also spoke about Muawiyah's message sent to Imam Hussein telling him to be firm to his commitments towards Allah the Almighty. However, in today's episode we will continue talking about the same concept yet in a more elaborate way and we also will talk about the message that Imam Hussein, alaihi salam sent back to Muawiyah telling him about his broken commitments towards Allah the Almighty. Indeed, Imam Hussein, alaihi salam, sent Muawiyah a crushing response reminding him of his broken commitments of the many innocents he had murdered and his harassment and persecution against the Shia. The Imam says in his message, Is not Ali's religion the same as that of his cousin, the Prophet, upon whose seat you sit right now? Is not for the people's reverence of this religion you and your fathers would have been forever wandering like nomads from one place to the next in the burning desert. Allah will never forget that she arrested his friends and ordered their execution on the grounds devoid of logic or wisdom and made them homeless by exiling them to far away lands. And he will never forget that she took that unlawful oath of allegiance from the people for your son Yazid while he is an immature youth who openly drinks and loves playing with dogs and monkeys.  Our respective viewers, the Imam's words clarified the reality of this situation like a bolt of lightning in the night sky illuminates everything in the black and white. In fact, from the transmission of this letter throughout history, the Imam has made clear the evil of the accursed Mu'awiya bin Abi Sufyan even until this day so that none may claim ignorance of his flagrant disobedience and disbelief towards Allah the Almighty. It was at this time that Imam Hussein began to meet with his companions and seek their advice concerning the actions of Mu'awiya bin Abi Sufyan and to spread the word to their trusted companions among the Shi'a that he was gathering supporters to enforce the rule of Allah and save their religion from ruin at the hands of corruption, wickedness, tyranny and despotism. Our respective viewers, this is the end of today's episode. Let's pray that Allah the Almighty hasten the reappearance of the master of our time to interpret the message of his grandfather Imam Hussein who says, I only desire to spread good values and to prevent evil. This is what we have for you in today's episode until we meet again. Thank you very much indeed for joining us. Wassalamu alaikum warahmatullahi wabarakatuh.


Church leaders in Illinois, the Quora State Capital, have urged Christians and the political class to make sacrifices for one another in the true spirit of the day. Church leaders made the call during special service across various churches where faithful were thought lessens on the death of Jesus Christ. Church leaders, while calling on faithfuls and the political class to live a sacrificial life exemplified by Jesus Christ, say only such can bring about love and peace in society. That is telling us, Christians, that just like Jesus did, we need to live a life of sacrifice because Jesus sacrificed his life for us as a student of God. Even in Nigeria, there is a need for us to make a sacrifice for our nation, but at the same time, if it comes for supreme sacrifice because we can see some of our soldiers, some of our policemen, they died for the cause of this nation, that is supreme sacrifice. And so, if there is a need for us to do that, even as a student of God, we need to do it because Jesus has actually made an example for us, and that is telling us that we need to love. The government, the people, the authorities know, so please, be sacrificial. People are passing through and not, please, be sacrificial. If you can do that, after Jesus Christ died, he humbled himself, the Bible said God exalted him. If you do that, you'll be exalted. And I believe that we are all going to be blessed and I'm going to have a better world. People want the political class to show empathy given the economic hardship in Nigeria and the threat of insecurity. This is the type of love that we're expecting from our leaders. If you look at the situation of the country now, people go hungry. What are our leaders doing about it? Security challenges everywhere. You cannot sleep with your two eyes being closed today. Our leaders, both church and secular world, should know that there is nothing as good as being humble. When you are humble, God will exalt you. It brings for salvation to me because Jesus came to the world to die for my sin.


Hello, and welcome to MIP TV, and we are doing a series called Meet the Trainers, where we speak, or I speak, to the people who train and work at Manchester Institute for Psychotherapy, so I'm delighted to welcome Susie Ewitt, who's one of the trainers at MIP, and just in the preamble before we press the record button, Susie was telling me you actually trained at MIP. I did. 2007 to 2011, I did my four year TA training. And what do you think, how do you think it helps you as a trainer having trained at the Institute? Well, lots of training institutes in the country have different styles and different cultures, and when we think organisationally it's important to know as a trainer the culture and ethos of the organisation you're training for. So it's great to know Barbara as a trainer and personally and understand how his institute works having been on the receiving end of it as a trainer. So it's great to come back as a trainer and sort of slot back in to the way that it should be. Yeah, so you're fitting in with the ethos of the organisation and hopefully training in the way that you've been trained in the ethos that you've been trained, sharing that along the line a little bit. Now you said earlier that you were PTSD, is that correct? Yeah, there's one letter missing. It's a PTSD, which is a provisional teaching and supervising transactional analyst. Yeah, and I think that's really important, isn't it, because what Prots may be not widely known is that you have to be an accredited teacher to teach TA. I've got a certificate education, but that wouldn't allow me to go and teach transactional analysis. It just goes to show the kind of quality that goes into TA training really, doesn't it? It does, yeah. And in order to clock up your TA training hours, you need to be trained by PTSD or a TSTA, yeah. So that is a real difference. I'm sure that might surprise some people who watch this, that actually the whole of the system of TA is built around quality assurance from supervision to the training to the actual kind of theories. There's a whole kind of system in place. So, got any favourite theories? What's your favourite theory? All trainers have a favourite bit of theory. What's your favourite bit of theory? My favourite bit of theory is going to be TA, because I've had eight, nine years of training in TA. It's stroke theory. It's about the stroke economy that Claude Steiner came up with and invented. All about how he says we can deal with the critical parent and turn the volume down on the critical parent in our head and manage anxiety and depression through making sure that our stroke bag is full. Well, there we go. And I'm going to add to that, Susie, as we've finished this interview. Thank you so much for taking the time. And I'm sure that the students of the future watching this will get so much out of it. Susie, you're it. Thank you very much. Thanks for all the work.
